Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: The Phoenix Roost

  "Enhancing cultivation or dealing with evil spirits..."

  Lu Fei went through the existing evil objects, feeling that none were suitable to be made into a magic tool for Master Xiang.

  "Currently, there might not be anything suitable for the master. If the master doesn't mind, please wait a bit longer. I will keep an eye out for you."

  "Great! Then I'll trouble Manager Lu!"

  Master Xiang was very happy and chatted politely for a while before leaving in high spirits.

  Lu Fei saw him off to the end of the antique street.

  After returning, he sat at the counter and took out the ledger.

  The Cycle Mirror.

  It can capture souls, reveal the true form of demons, and show a person's past life.

  Night Bright Sand of the bat demon.

  It clears the liver and improves eyesight, having special effects on eye diseases.

  +2 Evil Objects.

  A total of 32 evil objects have been collected.

  Keeping a good record, Lu Fei felt quite pleased.

  Leaving the Night Bright Sand aside, the Cycle Mirror is truly a rare and valuable treasure.

  Lu Fei held the bronze mirror and examined it repeatedly, unsure of how to use it to reveal a person's past life.

  Could it be that it only works when a person is near death?

  It seems I need to find more opportunities to practice.

  If it really can't reveal past lives, it's fine. Lu Fei values more the functions of capturing souls and revealing demons, which are highly useful in dealing with evil objects and malevolent spirits!

  As for the treasure under the bronze coffin, there's no rush; we can retrieve it when the opportunity arises in the future.

  Lu Fei watched for a long while before putting away the bronze mirror.

  Then, he sent a message to Liu Fugui.

  The night bright sand could be sold, as there was no need to keep such a medicinal and life-saving item hidden away.

  This miser immediately scurried over eagerly.

  Hu Zi promptly served him tea, with an attitude so good that he couldn't believe it.

  "There's no poison in this tea, is there?"

  "Old Liu, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person! This is my boss's fine tea. Have a taste," Hu Zi said warmly with a smile.

  "You must be up to no good!"

  Liu Fugui didn't believe that Hu Zi had such a good heart. First, he flattered Lu Fei, and then he mentioned the matter of moving his father-in-law's grave.

  "Master Jing has chosen the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Brother Lu has time to go together?"

  "Although my wife Huiyun is very satisfied with the feng shui site chosen by Master Jing, you don't know that Ma Yongming has ill intentions! He actually found another feng shui master, claiming it's for additional help, but in fact, I think he's just bringing someone to cause trouble!"

  Liu Fugui was fuming with anger.

  "Is that so? Then I really have to go and take a look." Lu Fei raised an eyebrow.

  Jing Jian was introduced by him, and if this matter fails, it would be a loss of face for Sinisterium Pawnshop.

  He had just acquired two evil objects and wasn't in a hurry to do business, so this could be a good opportunity to get out and relax.

  "I knew Brother Lu wouldn't stand idly by. Brother Lu is a true man of honor..." Liu Fugui was overjoyed and continued his praises.

  Huzi followed, saying: "Old Liu, you can rest assured. If that Ma guy dares to make trouble, I'll beat him until he can't even find his teeth!"

  "Get lost, get lost, get lost. It's my family's business, why are you so worried?"

  Unfortunately, Liu Fugui did not buy it.

  Take two days off.

  The day for relocating the grave had arrived, and Liu Fugui came to invite them early in the morning.

  Lu Fei tidied up a bit, put on some clean clothes, and then went out.

  Hu Zi spent a long time grooming himself, came out wearing a black suit, and even donned a pair of black sunglasses, leaving Liu Fugui utterly bewildered.

  "Brother Lu, has Hu Zi been taking the wrong medicine lately? He seems a bit off." Liu Fugui secretly asked Lu Fei.

  "It's nothing, he just has a fever."

  Lu Fei was nearly bursting with laughter inside.

  One hour later.

  The car arrived at the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

  The place was surrounded by mountains and water, with fresh air and beautiful scenery.

  Jing Jian was already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

  "Lu Fei."

  He was dressed in clean white clothes, carrying the Seven Star Sword on his back, and holding a compass, which he had somehow obtained from somewhere.

  He looked quite the part.

  "Lu Fei, you've come just in time. Help me check out this new burial site I've chosen."

  "Sure."

  Ge Huiyun had not yet arrived, so Lu Fei followed Jing Jian first.

  "This is the place. What do you think?"

  Lu Fei looked around.

  The land here was elevated, surrounded by countless small hillocks, giving the impression that the small hills were paying homage to this spot.

  "Not bad, it's rare to see a place like the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!"

  "You think it's pretty good too, right? This kind of grave site has the best feng shui for future generations. As soon as Ms. Ge heard that, she immediately decided on this location." Jing Jian let out a long breath and broke into a bright smile.

  Lu Fei was very pleased.

  As long as this guy doesn't talk nonsense, he is quite reliable in what he does.

  Soon after.

  Ge Huiyun and her son arrived.

  As soon as Hu Zi saw Liu Fugui's daughter, Qingqing, he instantly became energized, straightening his back.

  Unfortunately, she didn't notice him at all.

  Ma Yongming came with a feng shui master dressed in traditional Tang attire. This master had a small goatee and wore round glasses, holding a folding fan in his hand.

  He looked like an old scholar from the past.

  "May I ask for your honorable surname, sir?" Liu Fugui asked with an unhappy face, deliberately probing.

  "This is Master Yuan, a descendant of the founder of Feng Shui, Yuan Tiangang. He is known as the Master of Acupoint Touch and his skills in selecting burial sites and adjusting Feng Shui are exceptional! He is very famous in the Xuanmen community!" Ma Yongming introduced him proudly, "I went to great lengths to invite Master Yuan here personally."

  Lu Fei found this amusing.

  When did such a renowned figure emerge in the Xuanmen circle? How could he have not heard of him?

  "Modesty! Modesty! It's just the people in the Xuanmen giving me some face, it's all just superficial fame," Master Yuan waved his hand lightly and spoke humbly.

  "Master Yuan, would you please take a look and tell us if this Feng Shui location is suitable for relocating a grave?" Ma Yongming asked respectfully.

  Ge Huiyun also looked intrigued.

  Although she had heard the reputation of Sinisterium Pawnshop, she had only heard about it but never witnessed Lu Fei and Jing Jian's true abilities. Thinking that moving a grave was a significant matter, she figured there was no harm in listening to others' opinions.

  "Please wait a moment, madam."

  Master Yuan put on a performance, squinting as he observed the surroundings, making calculations with his fingers, and then showing a peculiar expression.

  "This location is indeed good, with mountains at the back and water in front, a spacious open area, implying a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix... but..."

  He hesitated to continue.

  Ma Yongming immediately asked, "But what?"

  "Nothing, it's probably just my overthinking. I see that this young man has a dignified appearance and an extraordinary demeanor; he shouldn't have made a wrong choice." However, Master Yuan shook his head, glanced at Jing Jian, and deliberately left them in suspense.

  Lu Fei found this even more amusing.

  This descendant of Yuan Tiangang had actually misinterpreted the meaning of the 'hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix' site; he was likely an old fraud.

  However, he did not expose him.

  He decided to see what they were up to.

  Jing Jian didn't care. In his opinion, as long as he handled his business well, what others thought was their own business.

  He looked up at the sky and stepped forward to remind Ge Huiyun.

  "Ms. Ge, the time is approaching, we should open the coffin and move the grave."

  "Master Jing, are you sure there's no problem with this burial site?" However, Ge Huiyun, influenced by Master Yuan's words, started to have some concerns.

  "This Phoenix Facing a Hundred Birds land is most prosperous for descendants, it's a rarely seen blessed place. Moving the elder here will not only allow him to rest in peace but also ensure blessings for your family." Jing Jian said seriously, "I truly don't see any problems."

  "That's right, Huiyun, let's not listen to others' nonsense and delay the time." Liu Fugui added, "Our father has been soaked in water for so long, we can't delay any longer!"

  Ge Huiyun hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

  Liu Fugui immediately told the workers to get started.

  This team specializes in relocating graves and is both experienced and efficient.

  In no time, they had the remains placed into the new coffin.

  Next, following the burial ceremony, placing the remains in the new grave would complete the task.

  Everything went smoothly at first, but problems arose when lifting the coffin.

  The coffin just wouldn't budge!
