Chapter 450: Chapter 450: The Exorbitant Price of Apprenticeship
"Has this guy gone mad? Courting popularity to this extent?"
"Ridiculous, to actually claim that not a single part of Master Cao’s Feng Shui arrangement is correct, hehehe."
"Master Cao, there’s no need to waste words with this kind of person, every additional word is a waste of time."
Everyone was indignant on Master Cao Xian’s behalf, feeling that Yang Yu was simply bragging and showing off too much.
Cao Xian himself increasingly felt that Yang Yu was just a charlatan masquerading as someone with mystical powers, and chuckled: "Since you say I got it all wrong, then please enlighten us!"
"The Feng Shui Formation you arranged is The Six Gui-Ren Water Configuration, right?" Yang Yu said, "The Feng Shui Formation itself is not wrong, but the mistake is, you should not have arranged this Feng Shui Formation in this kind of place."
"You actually know I arranged The Six Gui-Ren Water Configuration?" Cao Xian gasped in shock because this Feng Shui Formation was a family secret not passed to outsiders, and no other Feng Shui Master had ever guessed it correctly.
Since Yang Yu guessed it correctly, it proved that his opponent truly did understand the craft!
However, Cao Xian still did not believe there was an issue with his Feng Shui Formation and after calming his emotions, he asked: "Why can’t I arrange this Feng Shui Formation here?"
Yang Yu did not give a direct answer but continued: "Do you think that because this place is backed by mountains and in front of Viduo Port, there’s water, so you wanted to use this Array to manipulate Feng Shui and speed up the fortune accumulation for the hotel’s owner?"
"Yes." Cao Xian nodded, "Is there something wrong with that?"
"You have calculated everything, except you did not take the direction of the water flow into account." Yang Yu said, "If the direction of the water flow is incorrect, your Feng Shui Formation could produce the opposite effect."
"The direction of the flowing water needs to be considered too?" Cao Xian suddenly froze, "Our family’s Array Map doesn’t mention this at all!"
"It doesn’t mention it?" Yang Yu laughed, "Water to the south and Beishan to the north, from east to west the Gui formation needs Yu plus two. Water to the north and Beishan to the south, from west to east the Ren formation needs Yu minus two. If you don’t understand this mnemonic thoroughly, you naturally wouldn’t realise the direction of the water flow can have a decisive effect on this Feng Shui Formation."
"I got it the wrong way around?" Cao Xian’s forehead began to sweat profusely; being an exceptional Feng Shui Master himself, upon Yang Yu’s reminder, how could he not understand what went wrong?
Yang Yu let Cao Xian reflect on it himself and turned to Zheng Shiyin, saying, "Your hotel started losing money right after Master Cao gave advice on Feng Shui, right?"
Although Zheng Shiyin was very reluctant to admit it, as long as the accounts were there, one look was enough to make it clear.
"Everything else can be faked, but the effects of a Feng Shui Formation cannot fool people." Yang Yu then turned to Cao Xian, "If you still don’t understand where you went wrong, then your reputation as Xiang Island’s number one Feng Shui Master is really undeserved."
The fans still wanted to speak up for their Master Cao, but seeing that Master Cao himself was silent, they wisely shut their mouths.
Master Cao was certainly considered number one in Xiang Island; although other Feng Shui Masters had challenged him before, none had ever left with a smile.
And now, Master Cao himself could no longer smile, a sign that this young man opposite him was no ordinary individual!
After a long while, Cao Xian finally spoke: "I should add six Water Suppressing Koi at the main gate of the hotel facing the port, right?"
"Six Koi won’t suffice, it must be nine, Yu plus two." Yang Yu said, "As long as you add nine Water Suppressing Koi, the fortunes will begin to converge again..."
Thump!
Cao Xian suddenly knelt on the ground and sincerely kowtowed three times to Yang Yu: "Master above, please accept me as your disciple!"
"My heavens!"
"No way, no way? Master Cao is actually taking that young man as his master? This, this, this..."
"Is that young man’s Feng Shui Skill really that strong?"
"Whether it’s that strong, who knows better than Master Cao? If Master Cao has taken him as a teacher, what grounds do you have to be unconvinced?"
Seeing Cao Xian was so proactive, Yang Yu did not refuse.
Anyway, he had already taken on several disciples in their fifties, so he didn’t mind taking on another one.
Yang Yu smiled and said, "I can take you as my apprentice, but what about the apprenticeship gift?"
Cao Xian directly took out a bank card and presented it with both hands: "Master above, this is all the savings of my life, not much, just over ten billion, please graciously accept it, Master."
"Ten billion as an apprenticeship fee? Master Cao is really extravagant!"
"Ten billion! I really wish Master Cao would take me as his master, cough cough!"
Ten billion was not a small sum, even for the wealthy and noble gathered here, they couldn’t help but feel envious.
Yang Yu casually accepted it: "Get up, what’s the bank card’s PIN?"
The crowd was astounded, the ten billion was taken just like that, this young master really didn’t hold back at all!
Cao Xian told Yang Yu the password, and Yang Yu nodded with great satisfaction: "I happily accept your filial piety as an apprentice..."
"You’ve already accepted the apprenticeship gift, shouldn’t you, as a master, give a meeting gift?"
"Indeed, indeed, as the master you should also give a token of your appreciation, right?"
People couldn’t stand seeing Yang Yu just taking money, and they all spoke up for Cao Xian.
Yang Yu laughed and said, "Of course there’s a meeting gift, bring me the brush and ink, paper and inkstone!"
"Get the brush? What’s he going to do?"
"Who knows? Let’s wait and see!"
As the crowd was filled with curiosity, the hotel staff had already prepared the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Yang Yu picked up the brush and started writing in front of everyone.
Others didn’t understand what Yang Yu was drawing, but Cao Xian recognized at a glance that it was a Feng Shui Array Map, and moreover one he had never seen before!
Of course, even if ordinary people knew that Yang Yu was drawing a Feng Shui Formation, they could not tell if it was a good formation,
but Cao Xian could tell.
The Feng Shui Map Yang Yu drew was exquisitely sophisticated; with his current level of Feng Shui Skill, he could only understand about sixty percent of it.
Even if he only understood that much, he thought this Array Map was more impressive than any he had learned.
It’s easy to spend a fortune, but Array Maps are hard to come by!
After Yang Yu finished one map, Cao Xian thought the gift given by his master was already precious enough, but to his surprise, Yang Yu started drawing another one.
Two, three, four... Yang Yu drew ten maps in one go, each with its own sophistication, which nearly blew Cao Xian’s mind!
"That should be enough," said Yang Yu as he stamped his seal on the ten Array Maps and handed them to Cao Xian, "If one day you run out of money, take these maps to an auction. They should fetch one or two billion each, no problem."
Everyone thought Yang Yu was just fooling Cao Xian, but then Cao Xian knelt down with a "thump" on the ground, crying with gratitude: "Thank you, Master!"
Everyone was stunned and completely baffled.
They were just ten paintings; did Master Cao need to be so astounded? So overjoyed?
Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Is this map, the Eight Tripods Supreme Array?"
