Yang Kaichen's words baffled me. Both he and Vice President Wang Chaofei had told me that as long as a Geomancy Master was a member of the Metaphysics Society, he or she could become a member of the Society's Board of Directors.
I asked Yang Kaichen and he sighed. "It's because of Xie Tianyu."
Xie Tianyu?
I recalled the arrogant young man I saw a few days ago. Why did he want to ruin my plans?
Yang Kaichen continued without waiting for me to ask. "It's because of Wang Yongjun. Xie Tianyu also knew about it. After President Xu came back, he wanted to help you with the procedures, but Xie Tianyu went to look for President Xu and told him that you offended Miao Man Zi. He also said that you joining the Metaphysics Society would bring trouble to the society and asked President Xu to expel you."
"After President Xu understood the situation, although he didn't expel you, he suppressed the matter of you being promoted to a director.
Sigh, I suggested you to join the Metaphysics Society to seek refuge, but now that you haven't been promoted to a director, I'm afraid President Xu won't help you when the Old Miao Village people come looking for you. "
I didn't have a good impression of Xie Tianyu, and after knowing about this, my impression of him worsened.
Yang Kaichen was the same as him, he knew that I offended the Miao Tribe's Gu Master, but Yang Kaichen took the initiative to tell me the reason and help me think of a solution. Xie Tianyu, on the other hand, kept obstructing me.
If I can't join the Metaphysics Society, what should I do when Zhao Ying's mother comes looking for me?
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of any other way. I shook my head and temporarily suppressed this matter. Then, I asked Yang Kaichen, "Why did Xie Tianyu do this?"
Yang Kaichen sighed again. "It's because of the true dragon vein!"
What?
True dragon vein?
This gave me a fright. How could it be related to the True Dragon's Vein?
Did the Metaphysics Society find out about the Mount Tai stone?
I looked at Yang Kaichen and carefully asked him, "What's the situation with the true dragon vein?"
Yang Kaichen was stunned and asked, "You don't know?"
Then, he knocked his head and smiled. "It's my fault. Although you're in the Geomaster realm, you don't know much about the Metaphysics Society. I forgot to tell you before."
Then, Yang Kaichen told me about the Metaphysics Society and the true dragon's vein.
It turned out that the Metaphysics Association had a True Dragon's Vein just like other famous Daoist sects. It was said that it was discovered by the Metaphysics Association's Old President Li Liguang.
This was also the reason why Fengshui Masters from all over the world were so eager to join the Metaphysics Association. As long as a member of the Metaphysics Association was able to pass the test after reaching the Earth Master Realm, they would have the opportunity to go to the headquarters of the Metaphysics Association to see the True Dragon Vein and break through to the Dragon Seeking Realm.
After he said that, I understood. There were so many people in the Metaphysics Association that had broken through to the 'Seeking Dragon' realm. If there wasn't a True Dragon's vein, it would be impossible.
As for why Xie Tianyu targeted me, it was because he was the only person in the Shenzhen Metaphysics Association who had a chance of breaking through to the "Dragon Seeking" realm. I suddenly appeared just as I was about to go to the headquarters of the Metaphysics Association to see the True Dragon Vein.
The Shenzhen Metaphysics Society only had one quota to observe the True Dragon Vein. If I didn't appear, the quota would definitely be Xie Tianyu's. But after I appeared, a variable appeared. That was why Xie Tianyu purposely targeted me.
After knowing the reason, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I only joined the Metaphysics Association to seek refuge. Who knew that there would be such a thing?
After thinking for a while, I asked Yang Kaichen, "If I give up on the quota, can I be promoted to the director position?"
According to my calculations, the jade bracelet could support me to advance to the next realm after absorbing the dragon energy from the Mount Tai stone. There was no need for me to fight for the quota.
Yang Kaichen shook his head. "Now that Chairman Xu knows that you have a grudge with the Miao people, even if you give up on the quota, I'm afraid that he won't let you be promoted to the director position so easily. Also … you have to think carefully. The situation with the Miao people is still uncertain, so they might not come looking for you. The opportunity to observe the True Dragon Vein is a once in a blue moon opportunity. In the Earth Master Realm, the younger one is, the higher the chance of breaking through.
Also, the True Dragon Vein of the Metaphysics Association is opened once every three years. If you delay this time, you will have to wait for another three years to get the quota. "
After hearing his words, I felt a little gloomy. I didn't care about the True Dragon Vein, but it seemed that there was no hope for me to be promoted to the director position.
Xie Tianyu had completely cut off my path of retreat. Even if I didn't fight with him, I wouldn't be able to get the protection of the Metaphysics Association.
My mind was in a mess. Yang Kaichen said, "Although there's no chance for me to be promoted to the director position, Chairman Xu still wants me to go and meet him. Perhaps there's still a chance."
I knew that he was trying to comfort me. I smiled wryly and nodded. "When is it?"
Yang Kaichen told me that it was tomorrow afternoon. He would come and pick me up then.
Since my mind was gloomy, I didn't want to continue the conversation. Seeing that, Yang Kaichen bid farewell and left.
After he left, I sat alone in the room and thought for a long time. I couldn't think of any other way, so I closed my eyes and continued to stabilize the Dao energy in my body. When others couldn't be relied on, I could only rely on myself. I hoped that the 'Ah Ma' that Zhao Ying had mentioned would give me more time. When I advanced to the next realm, perhaps I would have the ability to resist.
The next afternoon, Yang Kaichen came to pick me up and we went to the Metaphysics Association for the second time.
Since I was already a member of the Metaphysics Association, I didn't encounter any obstacles this time, and I smoothly reached the top floor.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw that the Mount Tai stone on the top floor was covered with a red cloth. I couldn't see what was going on inside.
I pretended not to know and asked Yang Kaichen, "What happened?"
He shook his head and said indifferently, "I heard that there's a small problem with the Mount Tai stone. I'm not sure about the details since no one informed me."
I nodded. I guessed that the people of the Metaphysics Association didn't know the reason, so they didn't tell anyone.
It made sense. If it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't have believed that something could absorb the Dragon Vein Qi.
The people of the Metaphysics Association probably didn't think about this either.
After asking, I didn't want to arouse suspicion and followed Yang Kaichen to Chairman Xu's office.
Before I reached Chairman Xu's office, I bumped into Xie Tianyu.
He stood in the hallway and seemed to be waiting for me.
After seeing Yang Kaichen and I appear, he sneered coldly. He walked to my side and said, "Zhou Yi, you just joined the Metaphysics Association and you already want to snatch the spot to observe the True Dragon's veins. Aren't you a little too ambitious? Let me give you a piece of advice. The Shenzhen Metaphysics Association isn't a place you can mess around. You'd better behave yourself and not let your imagination run wild. Otherwise, I won't mind teaching you how to behave."
After he said that, he looked at me arrogantly with a face full of disdain.
I wasn't angered by his words. I just felt that it was strange. This guy was older than me, so how could he be so unsophisticated?
Not only did he ruin my plans behind my back, but he actually told me in person. Did he take the wrong medicine?
I couldn't be bothered with him. I pointed to the front and said to him, "Please make way. I want to go to Chairman Xu's office."
"Haha."
Xie Tianyu suddenly laughed and looked at me mockingly. "Do you think that he will change his mind after seeing Chairman Xu?
You're too naive.
Also, let me tell you, Chairman Xu didn't just call you, he also informed me. "
With that, he arrogantly walked to Chairman Xu's office and knocked on the door.
Yang Kaichen and I looked at each other. We didn't know what was going on. We could only bitterly smile and follow Xie Tianyu into Chairman Xu's office.
Chairman Xu was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was tall, slender, and had a thin face with long hair. If I saw him in a bar, I would definitely think of him as a handsome uncle who played rock and roll.
After seeing us come in, Chairman Xu smiled and pointed to the sofa, arranging for us to sit down.
After exchanging greetings, Chairman Xu turned to look at me and asked with a smile, "You're Zhou Yi, right? It's not easy for you to have such a cultivation at such a young age."
I naturally didn't dare to be arrogant and repeatedly praised him.
Chairman Xu waved his hand and said, "Even when I was your age, my cultivation wasn't as good as yours, so you don't have to be humble.
However, there's something I don't understand, so I want to ask you. "
I was surprised and immediately said, "What is it? Chairman Xu, please ask."
Chairman Xu slightly squinted his eyes and stared at me. "After a Fengshui Master reaches the Earth Master Realm, the cultivation speed of drawing qi as one's finger is different according to their talent. However, after reaching this realm, it's extremely difficult to advance further. It's useless no matter how good your talent is.
If you can't find a true dragon vein to observe, you can only rely on time to slowly accumulate. "
I was a little confused by his words and didn't know what he meant.
However, I didn't say anything and continued to listen to him.
Chairman Xu's eyes narrowed even more and continued to ask, "So I'm very curious. You shouldn't have observed a true dragon vein, but you're already close to the realm of drawing qi as one. Why is that?"
