Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld

"As for the residual effects on the descendants..."

"Apart from the solution mentioned by Master Fang, it is still necessary to do comprehensive premarital and prenatal check-ups to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"Yes." Elder Jia nodded repeatedly:

"Master Fang is right."

......

A few days later.

On a certain mountain peak.

A tall, slender elder in a suit clasped his hands behind his back, gazing at the location of Jia Family Village in the distance.

"Using Feng Shui to defeat Feng Shui."

He sighed deeply, with a tone of admiration:

"To be able to crack such a dangerous formation, there must be a master in Jia Family Village!"

"Elder Gou." Behind him, a crippled middle-aged man looked surprised and asked in shock:

"Your Feng Shui formation was broken by the Jia Family?"

"Hmm."

The elder nodded:

"I had planned to add fuel to the fire when the Jia Family suffered a backlash, to seize their family’s fortune, but now it seems the Jia Family has a master, and they’re not to be provoked easily."

"Indeed!" the crippled man nodded:

"I inquired a bit, just the day after we excavated the grave, the Jia Family’s Third Master summoned the spirits of the dead before everyone."

"He described it very vividly; it could be true!"

In his mind, Elder Gou’s methods were incredible, and now he encountered someone like that, and he had even dug up their ancestral grave. He couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

"Possession technique?" The elder squinted, a trace of apprehension flashing through his eyes:

"The Jia Family’s Third Master could perform magic, he seems to be a talented individual, and he’s managed to remain sequestered for all these years."

"Crippled John!"

"Yes."

The crippled man bowed his head.

"Withdraw your informants to avoid attracting attention," the elder said:

"Better to have less trouble than more, especially since we’ve already obtained the Jia’s Bo Shan Method, there’s no need to cause further issues."

"Understood."

The crippled man agreed, feeling secretly relieved.

Aside from the copy of the "Jia’s Bo Shan Method" in the hands of Jia Family’s Third Master, we also found a copy in the tomb we excavated, which was Elder Gou’s goal.

"How’s the antique business doing?"

"It’s going well."

The crippled man replied:

"With you, Elder Gou, we aren’t short of good antiques. In a while, Mr. Cui Sr. will come to Hai Province, and I’ve already arranged to meet him."

"Oh, by the way."

"I heard Mr. Cui Sr. recently took on a disciple, quite young, who will surely become a top figure in the antique trade in the future."

"Oh?" Elder Gou raised an eyebrow:

"Being chosen by Mr. Cui indicates remarkable talent; I’d like to meet them if there’s a chance."

"Let’s head back!"

"Yes."

The crippled man complied.

Eighteen Bends of the mountain road, the ride is challenging.

Nonetheless,

Some people relish the challenge of such mountain roads and never tire of it.

"Liu Wei!"

Gu Qian pedaled furiously, catching up to the cyclist in front, and said, panting:

"Don’t rush ahead; Monkey hasn’t caught up."

"Still not caught up?" Liu Wei frowned and looked back:

"We’ve already slowed down; this guy’s stamina is really lacking. Maybe we shouldn’t bring him next time."

"What are you saying?" Gu Qian glared at him:

"It’s precisely because his stamina is lacking that he needs more exercise. Monkey rarely shows interest in cycling, so of course, we should include him."

Liu Wei pouted.

He knew very well that Monkey wasn’t interested in any sports; the reason he agreed to cycle was that Gu Qian liked it.

"Then let’s wait a bit." Liu Wei sighed helplessly, parked his bike by the side, and drank several gulps of water from his bottle:

"Qianqian, are you going to participate in the upcoming cycling competition?"

"Of course I am."

Gu Qian wiped the sweat off her face, stopped beside him, and said, panting heavily:

"But I’m just going to make up the numbers. The key is whether you can place; the top ten get a beauty phone."

"If I make it to the top ten, I’ll give the phone to you," Liu Wei laughed heartily.

"We’ll see if you make it to the top ten," Gu Qian rolled her eyes and, seeing a figure appearing on the mountain road, her eyes brightened:

"Monkey’s here."

"Qianqian, Da Wei." Monkey, true to his name, was skinny, almost skin and bones, and his somewhat delicate features made him look a bit sappy because of it.

He waved to the two and stopped his bike, gasping for breath, trembling all over:

"I can’t go on... I just can’t..."

"Take a rest!"

"Rest a while before going on!"

"A grown man, how can you say you can’t?" Liu Wei pouted:

"Drink some water and catch your breath, then we’ll continue. We’ve only cycled less than half the distance; at your speed, when will we reach the top?"

"Ah!" Monkey looked surprised:

"Not even halfway?"

"Exactly," Gu Qian encouraged:

"Don’t worry; there’s a more level section ahead. Besides, it’s your first time on such a mountain road; it’s bound to be tough."

"As long as you persevere, it will be fine!"

"Thanks," Monkey smiled wryly:

"I’ll try my best!"

"Let’s go." Seeing Gu Qian getting closer to Monkey with an air of intimacy, Liu Wei looked displeased and mounted his bike:

"There’s a resting spot up the mountain."

"Alright!" Monkey reluctantly got up, gulped several mouthfuls of water, and just as he was getting ready to start cycling, he noticed something strange on his face:

"Is it getting foggy?"

"Yes." Gu Qian pushed her bike, frowning:

"Why is it foggy now?"

Fog

In her memory, it only appeared in the morning.

Now, not only did fog appear on the mountain path, but it also thickened rapidly before their eyes. In the blink of an eye, the road ahead became blurred.

"Perfectly normal." Liu Wei remained indifferent:

"The terrain near Eighteen Bends is special. Fog throughout the year is what it’s famous for. Not only fog, but it’s also said that even the magnetic field here displays anomalies."

"Stay to the side, and watch out for the cars."

Saying so, he no longer hurried to ride but pushed his bike slowly uphill.

Riding in such weather would be dangerous.

Besides, this road occasionally has cars traveling up and down the mountain. With the mist, visibility is too low, and if one waits to see the cars before dodging, it might already be too late.
