Corpse Recovery Diver

If the seal is not done well, I would definitely not risk taking it with me. Instead, I would choose a new place and seal it in the ground again, waiting for my strength to improve before returning.

If the seal is done well, then it can be embedded into my newly crafted compass, serving as the compass core.

The operation principle of the copper coin itself inherently carries a yin-fiend feng shui formation; anything of flesh and blood close to it will decay under this configuration.

With it as the compass core, the probability of the compass failing in special environments will be greatly reduced.

Many miasmas or arrays first aim to confuse your sense of direction. With it in hand, it becomes possible to easily dismiss most low and mid-level miasmas or arrays.

Li Zhiyuan took out red clay and drew incantations on his palm, the back of his hand, and his wrist. Finally, he gathered to form a seal, and when he pressed down with his thumb, both the feng shui layout and array were activated.

Xiong Shan felt that the place where the young man stood became very blurry in his vision all of a sudden.

However, he dared not step forward to help, fearing that any unintentional intrusion into the array or feng shui structure would only cause trouble instead of helping.

Finally, the blurriness dissipated, and the young man's figure became clear once more.

The copper coin had also landed in the boy's hand, which he was tossing up and down nonchalantly.

A perfect seal.

Li Zhiyuan relished the feeling of turning back to easily solve problems that once troubled him.

This is his growth.

Of course, if not for receiving further inheritance from Wei Zhengdao in the dream ghost's dream, he still wouldn't have had a better way to deal with this copper coin.

Moreover, though Wei Zhengdao's name includes the word "Righteous Path," the teachings he provided are often more effective against evil objects.

Fetching a small, palm-sized compass from his bag.

Inside, there was just a scale and a needle.

Since Li Zhiyuan chose to eliminate a lot of unnecessary information that he could calculate with his mind, he created a concentrated essence version suited only for his use.

The small workshop behind Grandpa's house remained where, during the span of time around the New Year, Li Zhiyuan and Alii often stayed inside, with him responsible for design and Alii for crafting.

The two of them collaborated to create it.

Initially, Li Zhiyuan thought that by not working hands-on himself, he could ensure no discrepancies. But it seemed this thing indeed has its destiny, for even though he only designed it, upon completion testing still revealed a fixed error value.

Such an error value, similar to my inability to draw talismans, is just too perfectly smooth; it always has to leave you a bit of a gap.

A gap here is instead a good thing. Were it in any other aspect, it would be a major problem.

A fixed error is not truly an error since using it relies on my mental calculations. It merely adds one more calculation, a minor issue.

Moreover, this feature renders it theft-proof; if lost or stolen, others cannot use it.

In the middle of the compass is a small groove. Li Zhiyuan inserted the copper coin snugly into it.

"Our Alii's craftsmanship is truly remarkable."

Trying the compass once more, casting the seal and activating it, the compass needle wobbled continuously. Watching it, Li Zhiyuan calculated mentally and within moments had deduced the feng shui layout here.

Meanwhile, the copper coin would emit a trembling sound, captured by Li Zhiyuan's ears, conveying yet another layer of message: favorable under these circumstances.

Even the graves in village or towns were chosen after consulting Feng Shui Masters. A site with a lower favorable rating is decent in the countryside.

Truly detecting a site of top-tier or superior quality, then the Nantong cultural relics unit should be informed.

Don't expect such a prime location to be vacant and waiting for you, as the ancients were no fools.

This new compass not only gauges feng shui but also carries the ability to divinate fortune and misfortune. Currently, it stands as the most practical tool at hand.

This adds significant benefit when following Brother Liangliang out next.

Getting onto a tricycle, heading home.

Just as he rode into the village road of Si Yuan Village, he saw Aunt Zhang running towards him.

"Xiao Yuan, you have a call from Lianghou."

Aunt Zhang enjoyed coming to Li Sanjiang's house to call people for phone calls frequently, and loudly so, for both Li Zhiyuan and Tan Wenbin were always polite. Each time after using the phone, they would buy plenty of things, not like some villagers who'd eschew phone charges and jest about it.

Arriving at the small shop, Li Zhiyuan, too impatient to wait, dialed the number back himself.

"Hello, Xiao Yuan, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, Brother Liang."

"There's a job, if you're free..."

"I'm free."

Considering the timing, though a bit early, it could be officially adjusted.

Most importantly, everyone's injuries were about seventy to eighty percent recovered; it was time to explore the next wave.

Rather than passive waiting, Li Zhiyuan preferred proactive action.

"We need to go on a long trip, to a county under Guizhou where a construction site for a hydropower station has issues. We need to assist in an investigation, the sooner the better to avoid delaying post-New-Year construction schedules."

"All right, when do we set off?"

"The day after tomorrow, shall we meet in Jinling?"

"Okay."

"By the way, I can help you with your school procedures; do you want me to do Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou's too?"

"Yes, please."

"Alright then, I will take care of the school matters, book the tickets and all. We'll have lunch together at noon the day after tomorrow and officially set off in the afternoon."
