"Well?"
Murakami Shinji looked at Chen Miao with a hint of anticipation.
"I did sense a few things."
Before Murakami Shinji could ask, Chen Miao began explaining.
"I sensed some energy rising from underground inside the shrine. It felt slightly damp."
"But after it emerged, it didn't rise any higher. Instead, it spread in every direction. I don't know exactly where it went."
"Lastly, I felt more comfortable inside the shrine than outside."
After those few brief statements, Chen Miao turned his gaze to Murakami Shinji.
"That's all?"
"That's all."
A trace of disappointment appeared in Murakami Shinji's eyes.
Of the three tests, the first, sensing earth energy, also involved sensing energy currents. But someone with true talent could use those emerging currents to sense the distribution of earth veins throughout the entire feng shui formation.
From Chen Miao's account, he clearly hadn't sensed the earth veins.
The second test, sensing energy fields, had gone exactly as Murakami Shinji expected. Chen Miao did indeed have a talent for it.
As for the third test, empathy, it actually tested the empathic connection between a person and a place.
Someone with a talent for empathy could pick up residual information in an energy field and learn about things that had once existed within it.
Taking this shrine as an example, someone with a talent for empathy could even glimpse scenes from its past while sensing its energy field.
Most of those images would depict ordinary scenes. But if someone had once used yin energy Mystic Arts in the shrine, the traces would be more easily captured and stored by the energy field, then discovered by someone with empathy.
A talent for empathy benefited more than just Feng Shui Masters. Some other professions in yin cultivation also required it.
