The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 93 - 92 This is Definitely True Love
Chapter 93: Chapter 92 This is Definitely True Love
...
"Over ten million and it’s still not enough?" Tang Wenjun was a bit dumbfounded.
Even with today’s skyrocketing property prices, ten million is enough to buy a great house in the best neighborhood of Binhai City. Not enough to hire a Feng Shui Master to set up a Feng Shui Formation? That’s just too exaggerated...
Daoist Xuanzhen explained, "From what I know, the rule of the Divine Mechanism Master, Duan Tiangang, was: Three million for site surveying and house placement, and triple that for a Feng Shui Formation."
"Three million for site surveying and house placement?" Even Dong Yuqing, who knew a thing or two, couldn’t help but gasp.
"Site surveying" involves observing the heavens above and examining the geography below, searching for a Feng Shui treasure spot. "House placement" entails overseeing the construction of residences, including both Yang Mansions and Yin Houses.
Although site surveying and house placement require astronomical observations, land inspection, and analysis of Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, seasonal and directional influences, and the Eight Trigrams and Nine Winds, it is undoubtedly an extremely complex technical skill. But a single charge of three million is indeed outrageous...
Typically, even for renowned Feng Shui Masters, fees for site surveying and house placement range from tens of thousands to a few hundred thousand. Charging three million... that house better be worth a fortune to justify the expense...
Suppressing his shock, Tang Wenjun asked, "Triple the price for Feng Shui Formation, does that mean three million turns into nine million?"
Daoist Xuanzhen shook his head, "Triple the price for Feng Shui Formation means... however much your estate is worth, multiply that figure by three."
"What!" Tang Wenjun, scion of one of Jiangnan’s top ten elite families, was stunned.
His estate was conservatively valued in the tens of millions. Multiplying that by three would mean... three hundred million!
A Feng Shui Formation costing three hundred million?
Who in their right mind would believe such a thing...
"Why would there be such a rule?" Dong Yuqing questioned, "People aren’t stupid, right? Who would spend three times the property’s worth to have a Feng Shui Formation arranged?"
"Haha." Daoist Xuanzhen stroked his snowy white beard and chuckled, "There are no shortage of fools in this world, but billionaires who are fools are quite rare. Despite such jaw-dropping rules, people still eagerly sought out Duan Tiangang for site surveying, house placement, and Feng Shui formations. After he arranged a Feng Shui Formation, the value of the property would skyrocket overnight, making them highly coveted."
"Skyrocket overnight?" Tang Wenjun couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
"That’s correct." Speaking of the legendary exploits of Divine Mechanism Master Duan Tiangang, Daoist Xuanzhen seemed genuinely proud, "For those with money in excess, wealth is merely a string of digits. If they can acquire peace and harmony and bless future generations, no amount of expense is too much."
Daoist Xuanzhen pointed his hand to a spot as he continued, "Take this estate of Mr. Tang, for example. It’s already situated on a Feng Shui treasure spot called ’Red Snake Around Seal.’ If Master Duan’s arrangements neutralize the waterfall hazard here, the Tang Family would benefit from at least three prosperous generations of incredible fortune. Mr. Tang, do you think it’s worth investing heavily?"
Tang Wenjun, reflecting on the streak of bad luck he’d endured over the past six months, nodded emphatically, "It’s worth it! If it ensures my family avoids bad luck for three generations, no expense is too high!"
"Exactly." Daoist Xuanzhen smiled as he turned to Yan Xiaobao, "Mr. Yan, since you and Divine Mechanism Master Duan Tiangang come from the same lineage, your rules must be similar. Since Mr. Tang is so generous, would you help arrange a Feng Shui Formation to resolve the waterfall issue?"
"Duan Tiangang’s ability doesn’t compare to mine," Yan Xiaobao said arrogantly. "If I set up a formation, it wouldn’t just neutralize the hazard."
"Oh?" Daoist Xuanzhen was again amazed, "Are you saying, Mr. Yan, that you have an even more extraordinary solution?"
"Of course." Yan Xiaobao replied confidently, "I can elevate the Feng Shui Array of this ’Red Snake Around Seal’ to an even more miraculous Feng Shui treasure spot!"
"This... this is simply unimaginable..." Daoist Xuanzhen scanned the surroundings once more, unable to figure out how this could be done, "Truly, there are always greater masters out there..."
Hearing this, Tang Wenjun felt even more restless, eagerly raising the stakes, "Brother Bao! If you’re willing to help me arrange the formation, I’m willing to pay five times!"
Dong Yuqing was entirely stunned.
Extravagance beyond belief... paying five times would amount to... five hundred million... five hundred million!
Five hundred million—buy a house, buy a car, save up, spend on leisure, and travel the world—happiness could scarcely go beyond this...
But Yan Xiaobao merely grinned and said, "I don’t want five times. I want her to be my wife."
Tang Wenjun: "..."
Daoist Xuanzhen: "..."
Dong Yuqing: "..."
Five hundred million laying there, unhesitatingly ignored, rejected like trash... What sort of person is this? What kind of spirit?
Tang Wenjun was dumbstruck. He never imagined there could be someone in this world unmoved even by five hundred million. And this wasn’t asking him to risk his life or chastity—just to arrange a Feng Shui Formation—yet he refused...
Daoist Xuanzhen was convinced. At this point, he was certain Yan Xiaobao wasn’t merely Divine Mechanism Master Duan Tiangang’s senior, but surely his fellow disciple. Both were remarkable...
Dong Yuqing was utterly bewildered, her emotions indescribably complex.
For the first time, she felt somewhat touched.
A man who rejected five hundred million for her—this had to be true love...
If Yan Xiaobao was asking her to be his wife instead of a concubine, perhaps in a fit of impulse, she’d even agree.
Dong Yuqing wasn’t vain or greedy, but one universal truth remained: A certain quantity can produce a qualitative leap.
Money, when it exceeds a certain amount, becomes something more than money itself.
Five hundred million doesn’t merely represent a bank account entry of a "5" followed by eight "0s," but a lifetime of financial security, unlimited freedom, affluence, and carefree joy...
There’s a joke circulating online that, while crude, perfectly illustrates this concept:
Fifty bucks—what do you take me for?
Five hundred bucks—I’m not that kind of person.
Five thousand bucks—Honey, I’m yours tonight.
Fifty thousand bucks—Don’t treat me as human tonight.
Five hundred thousand bucks—Doesn’t matter who shows up tonight.
Five million bucks—I don’t care if they’re human.
Five hundred million... nothing more to say...
Just then, Yan Xiaobao’s phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, his mood lifted immediately—it was Han Ruobing calling! This was the first time Han Ruobing had ever called him proactively.
"Bingbing, my dear wife, are you missing me?" Yan Xiaobao answered the call gleefully.
However, the voice on the other end of the line wasn’t Han Ruobing’s. Instead, it was a somewhat tense, subdued male voice: "Mr. Yan, this is Zhang Zhixue speaking."
