Spirit Gathering Formation

Lou Ming got up very late these days. Recently, he would dream whenever he fell asleep, reducing the quality of his sleep. He even had dark circles under his eyes.

He did not even bother to eat breakfast and just sat in the study with a pen to draw last night’s dream. To be exact, since he started having dreams, the first thing he did every day when he woke up was to use a pen and paper to record the contents of the dream he still remembered.

Lou Ming looked at what he had just finished drawing. On the white paper was a graphic composed of strange crisscrossing lines. It seemingly was without a pattern, but from an artistic conception, it showed a kind of peculiar composition. This image was the thing he remembered most clearly from his dream last night.

“What are these?”

“This book records Metaphysics formations.”

“Metaphysics formations?” The woman picked up a book and turned to the first page. “Spirit Gathering Formation? What does it do?”

“This formation can gather the spirit Qi between heaven and earth in one place. It can make the spirit qi within the scope of the Spirit Gathering Formation more abundant, and facilitate cultivation.”

“Is there a more practical one?”

“Practical? Like what?”

“Look, the summer weather is stifling. Is there no formation that can cool down the heat in the surroundings?”

“None yet. Shall I look into it?”

The dream ended with the girl’s satisfied smile.

Lou Ming stood up, walked to the window and pushed the window open. He stretched out a hand to feel the sunlight outside the window. After a moment of exposure, his fair palm felt the dry heat.

The weather is sweltering today!

After determining this, Lou Ming turned around and went downstairs. He met He Qi who came to call him for lunch.

“Young Master, lunch is ready,” He Qi informed him.

“I’ll eat it later.” Lou Ming walked out without sparing him a glance.

He Qi followed him outside in bewilderment, only to see his young masters walking all the way to a rockery in the courtyard, which was the center of the Spirit Gathering Formation arranged by Master Mao.

Lou Ming carefully surveyed the eye of the formation. To his surprise, he found that these hill and stone arrangements, which supposedly were in disorder in his eyes, suddenly formed a pattern. What did this mean? It meant that the things he dreamed of could be real.

To verify his suspicions, Lou Ming planned to personally improve the Spirit Gathering Formation that Master Mao arranged. If the formation in the dream was real, then Master Mao’s Spirit Gathering Formation was relatively rough.

Lou Ming had always been a doer, so he immediately bent and started to change the formation based on the original materials. This formation was simple (compared with the current Lou Ming). He only moved a few places and the formation was changed.

He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but a minute later, the temperature in the courtyard instantly dropped several degrees, and a distinct coolness passed through the thin wall of Lou Ming’s shirt and into his pores. He stood up with delight and couldn’t believe that he successfully transformed it.

As if to confirm Lou Ming’s conjecture, He Qi came out with a thin coat and draped it on Lou Ming while saying, “I’ve been planning to change into short sleeves, but why did the temperature drop all of a sudden?”

It seemed that he wasn’t imagining it. Lou Ming could not help but feel a little excited. While putting his coat on, he ordered, “Call Master Mao. Tell him that some changes have occurred in the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Because of his physique, Lou Ming’s perception of the surrounding aura was not very keen, but the change in temperature surprised him. He couldn’t wait to share it with Master Mao.

“Got it.” He Qi immediately tensed up the moment he heard that there was a change in the formation.

The Lu family’s villa was in a valley at the foot of Qilian Mountain. Even for those who were unschooled about feng shui, it was too obvious that the feng shui in the area was incomparable once they perceived the abundant and dense spirit qi in the air after entering the villa complex.

“Our family originally also lived in the capital, but then my mother’s health deteriorated, so my father bought a villa here.” Lu Ning pointed to a small white building at the far end and introduced it to Chen Yu. “That’s our house.”

Chen Yu nodded as a response.
