After hearing Master's explanation, I could not help but be secretly astonished.
This was actually a site blessed by Feng Shui.
I had not seen that the water and fire here were "intermingling," only that they were "holding each other in check."
Though the difference was only two words, in geomancy, even a single word could make a world of difference.
Master was Master, after all. He had seen what I had failed to see.
Though both water and fire were present, they intermingled here, achieving a delicate balance.
"I have learned from your teaching, Master."
I spoke to Master.
Master smiled.
"Not bad at all. The fact that you could see the geomantic formation here just from looking down from the mountain means you are already quite capable.
As for the water and fire holding each other in check that you mentioned—
You merely made that assumption because you had not gone down the mountain and seen what was inside the pool!
I was already in my thirties before I understood even the barest basics of geomancy.
Yet at such a young age, you already have some eye for geomancy.
Perhaps one day, geomancy will flourish in your hands as well."
After saying that, Master patted me on the shoulder, clearly approving of me.
For Eldest Senior Brother Fu Xuefeng, Master had found Black Stone Mountain, Black Stone Peak, and the Black Dragon Raising Head Formation.
For Second Senior Sister Diwu Wanxi, he had found Three-Mile Marsh, a place of extreme cold and yin.
Together with Third Senior Brother's Zhen-Dui Water-Fire Formation, it was clear that Master's attainments in geomancy were exceptionally high. When he had said he was lacking before, he had only been comparing himself to Grandmaster.
Just how profound must Grandmaster's attainments have been back then?
