Chapter 10: Guidance through Confusion

Yang Fan raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction and said, "Is that all?"

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat dull, and Yang Fan lost interest in gazing out the window. He withdrew his gaze and casually remarked: "Speaking of which, in the technique of 'Five Fingers of Calculation', the first two fingers are for determining energy and the second for acupoint striking. How many years did it take you to master them?"

The two individuals entered the vehicle, with Liu Zhengde taking on the role of the driver. He piloted the maglev car as it floated upward, swiftly departing the urban area along the driving lane heading northeast

Yang Fan said: "What is your main focus in the Dragon faction now?"

The maglev train finally came to a stop outside a large square filled with the same type of maglev trains

Liu Zhengde operated a few times and successfully rented this maglev train

With a chuckle, Liu Zhengde felt a sense of unease in his heart. Finally, mustering his courage, he said to the *Tushuzi*: "I hope Senior Yang Fan can offer some guidance."

Seeing Liu Zhengde gazing at him with longing, Yang Fan replied with a faint smile: "First, you must understand what 'qi' is. You can actually think of 'qi' as water, evaporating between heaven and earth, which is what we call the primordial qi of heaven and earth. When water vapor condenses and falls, it enters the earth to form streams, gathering into veins, which is the qi vein. The sea accommodates all rivers, thus it is called the dragon vein. The flow of qi has a trace to follow; by ascending to a high point to observe the land, one can determine the qi..."

Liu Zhengde entered the square with Yang Fan, took out a semi-transparent decorative card, and casually touched it against the windshield of a maglev vehicle. In an instant, the windshield flashed with light, revealing a slowly rotating blue circular graphical interface.

Yang Fan gradually elaborated on the essence of the First Finger as described in "Calculating the Heavens" (www.hetushu.com). He did not focus on specific techniques, but rather approached it from the perspective of Qi, revealing the true nature of the First Finger.

Liu Zhengde, upon hearing these words, was momentarily at a loss as to whether the senior was praising him or criticizing him.

Liu Zhengde was so excited that he almost crushed the steering wheel, and hurriedly replied: "I became my master's disciple at the age of ten, and in fifteen years, I mastered the first two fingers."

In theory, mastering the first two fingers over a period of fifteen years would rank among the top five in the history of the Dianlong Sect, which once astonished both the upper and lower echelons of the sect; otherwise, he would not have been able to assume the position of the sect leader

In this era, there are no longer any roads outside the urban areas; all vehicles are magnetic levitation cars. Every vehicle hovers more than twenty meters above the ground, with several brightly colored magnetic auroras delineating the lanes for oncoming traffic. Various sizes of magnetic levitation cars swiftly navigate through these lanes, occasionally overtaking one another like flowing light, silent yet orderly.

However, their cultivation levels are not high, and the vast majority cannot compare to Liu Zhengde.

In this way, Liu Zhengde can be considered a master in this era? Yang Fan muttered to himself.

Liu Zhengde couldn't help but chuckle, and he couldn't resist defending his sect by saying: "Senior Yang Fan, I dare not speak too grandly, but in the realm of Feng Shui in Xingyuan Prefecture, our Longpai is indeed quite renowned, ranking among the top three. Whenever a new sect is established, the selection of mountains and sites, as well as the acquisition of texts, will prioritize our Longpai."

Upon a glance, Yang Fan noticed that nearly half of the pedestrians by the roadside possessed martial prowess, all being martial artists

Yang Fan smiled and remarked that he did not belittle the Di Long Sect. Since the Di Long Sect has only received the inheritance of the first two fingers of the "Five Fingers of Calculating Heaven" and a half-hearted third finger, it seems they can only do so much; asking for more would be somewhat unreasonable.

The driver was a strong and robust young man. Although he was puzzled as to why Yang Fan and another person were present near Zhongnan Mountain, he refrained from asking further questions out of professional integrity

More than twenty minutes later, Liu Zhengde deviated from the main driving lane and entered an uninhabited area

Gazing through the car window at the cities of this era, aside from the uniquely shaped buildings brimming with imaginative tension and the holographic advertising billboards, Yang Fan's most profound feeling is one of tranquility; the air is also remarkably fresh, devoid of the smog that was once criticized in the past.

After a few minutes, the maglev train slowed down and entered the city filled with towering skyscrapers

Yang Fan's smile was ambiguous: "In fifteen years, mastering the first two fingers is indeed impressive talent"

Locating dragons and identifying burial sites, feng shui and geomancy

A few minutes later, the maglev train entered the driving lane

However, in front of Senior Yang Fan, he did not dare to rashly claim that he was a genius

It took him less than five years to write the comprehensive "Di Shu," which encompasses all aspects of feng shui; the "Five Fingers of Calculation" can only be considered a chapter within the "Di Shu"

Once Yang Fan and the other person were seated, the maglev vehicle silently lifted off the ground, rising several dozen meters and swiftly flying towards the city at a speed exceeding 200 kilometers per hour
