Fortune telling? How do you explain your hand-drawn lightning magic and sword flight?

Chen Xuan's words instantly sparked heated discussions among the more than 20 fans in the live broadcast room.

Fans know that even if they are single now, they may find their soulmate someday, get married, and have children. This is something that cannot be avoided.

What if you don't understand feng shui and arrange the wrong location for your child to live in, causing the child to be of the same sex? Wouldn't that be more like a white dumpling than a glutinous rice ball?

Moreover, while they might be happy to watch the drama unfold like Gu Ningyan's situation, if something like that happened to their own child, as parents, they would probably feel like dying.

Immediately, the live stream chat erupted into a discussion about Chen Xuan explaining the science behind the solutions.

Wang Dachui: "Taoist Master, please don't treat me like a human being this time. I don't think I'll understand even if you offer a solution."

Old Wang next door: "You're right. Metaphysics must be related to people's fate and feng shui. Even if a Taoist priest explains it, I think it would sound like a mysterious book to us."

"Oh, Taoist Master, my child is currently in this state. Could you please transfer the divination fee to me now, and then we can connect via video call, take an on-site inspection, and I'd be so grateful if you could help resolve this?"

"Master, if my daughter's sexual orientation really returns to normal, I am willing to give you another 1 yuan for divination."

Immediately, following this comment, more fans began sending messages requesting Chen Xuan to connect with them and resolve the issue.

Because they really only have a superficial understanding of the scientific wisdom of the ancients, and some of them don't even understand the basics.

Seeing how excited the fans in the live stream were, Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled.

He then said, “Dear believers, rest assured, as long as you carefully use the diagram I drew as a model, and then match it with the four directions of your home and find the Eight Palaces, you can easily change your child’s sexual orientation.”

"Of course, so-called destiny is the final product of the unity of heaven, earth and man."

Chen Xuan explained in as much detail as possible, without rushing.

"Heaven represents destiny, earth represents yin, and man represents yang. If two of these three correspond, then the child is very likely to have an abnormal sexual orientation, or have the idea of ​​being childless, not getting married, and not having children."

"Alright, everyone listen carefully now, and I will explain it carefully as well. I believe that as long as you study diligently, you will definitely be able to learn it. I guarantee that."

As soon as Chen Xuan said this, the more than 200,000 fans in the live broadcast room widened their eyes, and some even started recording the screen or took out other phones from home to record.

After all, Chen Xuan's words carry a lot of weight in the ears of his fans. If Chen Xuan says something and makes a promise, it will definitely come true.

Soon, Chen Xuan cleared his throat, turned his phone camera around, and pointed it at the Bagua palace on the ground, saying, "Now, if any of your children have a child with an incorrect sexual orientation, listen carefully. Generally, if your children have this problem, it means that their palace is in the wrong place."

"Alright, I will now begin to explain why children in the family may have abnormal sexual orientations and the reasons behind it."

"First of all, the Qian Palace represents the father and the Kun Palace represents the mother. These are the main palace positions and must be remembered."

Chen Xuan spoke slowly, trying to allow his fans to absorb and digest the information.

"What if your daughter lived in the northwest corner of the house, in the Qian position? When she reached marriageable age, she wouldn't date boys her own age; she would definitely date an older man who was ten or twenty years older than her. That's inevitable."

"If your daughters live in the Kan, Gen, or Zhen palaces, which are originally associated with male yang, then they will develop a boyish personality from a young age. As they grow up, they will dress and even have a boyish personality. Furthermore, they will gradually become the same sex later in life. The probability of this is 90%."

"Similarly, if a male with Yang resides in the Dui Palace, which is the palace of a young girl, he will think he is a girl from a young age. As he grows up, he may even dress up in skirts and paint his nails. In later stages, he may even have surgery."

"The above situation is easy to solve. Just change the children's beds back to their Yin Palace positions, which are Xun, Li, and Dui, or the Yang Palace positions corresponding to Zhen, Kan, and Gen. It will take at least half a month, or as little as three days, to see immediate results!" (In reality, it takes a quarter of a year.)

Regardless of whether it's an apartment or a self-built house in the countryside, the orientation should be south-facing and aligned with the eight palaces (a Feng Shui concept).

After Chen Xuan said this, the live stream fell into a long silence.

Because the amount of information conveyed in these words is simply too great.

Many fans were still not awakened by Chen Xuan's mysterious yet surprisingly simple words.

However, some fans quickly came to their senses.

Suddenly, someone woke up.

Some people are afraid.

Someone was surprised.

What was surprising was how simple the solution offered by Master Chen Xuan was.

The surprise, of course, came from the fans who were unmarried and still single.

At this point, the live stream chat exploded with activity.

"My goodness, Taoist priest, isn't what you're saying a bit too mystical?"

"Exactly, I feel this solution is too hasty."

……

Most of those who say these things are single young men and women who are seventeen or eighteen years old and have not yet married.

Those elders aged 35 to 45, having both sons and daughters, quickly began to reminisce about their children.

They even started comparing the eight trigrams on the floor of Chen Xuan's live stream room.

They were soon astonished to find that the symptoms their children had described to Master Chen Xuan had indeed been addressed.

"My God, I'm covered in cold sweat right now. My youngest daughter lives in Qian Palace. I didn't think much of her when she was little, but ever since she started elementary school, she's become a real tomboy. She can take on two boys in her class at once!"

"Hey buddy upstairs, how much of what you say can I believe?"

"I'm almost forty, would I lie to you about something like this?"

"Oh my god, I'll move my daughter's bed back right away. My second child is about the same as you said. He's never liked girls' clothes since he was little, and he prefers cool outfits. I thought it was just his personality, but I didn't expect it to be such a big problem!"

……

At this moment, Chen Xuan turned the camera back on and, seeing the various expressions of gratitude in the live chat, smiled and said, "After I explained it in detail, do you still think you don't understand? If you were to find a fortune teller for such a small matter, wouldn't it cost at least 1000 yuan?"

As soon as Chen Xuan said this, fans in the live stream started sending him gifts.

Of course, since the problem wasn't resolved immediately, Chen Xuan quickly disabled the tipping function as soon as he saw the fans' reaction.

"Taoist Master, what are you doing? Quickly activate the gift function! We can't just eat and drink for free; otherwise, my daughter would be ruined!"

"That's right, Master. Although we are from the bottom of society, we can still afford to spend this amount of money on our children. We can't feel at ease receiving something for nothing."

"They first teach us the Yin-Yang Acquired Breathing Method and the Longevity Exercise for free, and then help us solve our children's major life events for free, without charging a penny. Can I really still believe that there is still light in this world?"

"Yes, ever since I was extorted after helping an elderly person, I no longer believe that good deeds are rewarded. But I never expected to be proven wrong by the Taoist priest in this live broadcast!"

"I don't know why, but the thought of the Taoist priest living all alone in the deep mountains makes my eyes sting."

"If my daughter weren't still in high school, I would really like to introduce her to the Taoist priest."

"My daughter is about to graduate from college, but when I think about how pathetic she is, I'll give up. She's not good enough for me!"

A single female fan in the live stream said, "Hey, hey uncles and aunties upstairs, that's not fair of you! Tens of thousands of eligible young women are watching!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled wryly, then turned to the newbie editor in the live stream and asked, "Brother, did you record my live stream today?"

A novice video editor: "Don't worry, Master, it's all been recorded."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to the newbie editor in the live stream room, "Then I'll have to trouble you with the editing of the videos from now on, since I don't have the equipment to make them."

A beginner video editor: "Waaaaah, brothers, does the Taoist priest mean I'm an outsider?"

Upon seeing this comment, Chen Xuan and many fans in the live stream sent laughing-crying emojis.

The novice video editor has already built up his account by editing and posting Chen Xuan's live stream content. Although he has less than 100,000 followers, advertisers have already approached him for collaborations. Under these circumstances, how could the novice video editor possibly make any demands on Chen Xuan?

Chen Xuan's decision not to let him take down the edited videos was already a great favor.

"In that case, I shall end the broadcast now. Dear kind-hearted patrons, see you at 8 p.m. tonight."

Chen Xuan cupped his hands in greeting to the live stream audience.

Surprisingly, none of the nearly 300,000 fans in the live stream said anything about not wanting the stream to end.

Because I'm embarrassed.

In the past, when Chen Xuan did fortune telling in his live stream, he would end the broadcast in a flash after three divinations, and the live stream would last for less than an hour.

And what about this time?

Chen Xuan not only taught immortal techniques for free, but also helped fans solve their home feng shui problems for free. He even streamed for almost two hours straight. Under these circumstances, who would dare to stop Chen Xuan from ending his stream?

After the live stream ended, Chen Xuan first offered incense to the Dao Ancestor, and then made some congee.

Just as he returned to his residence to practice calligraphy, his phone rang.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was an unfamiliar number, and the location was even stranger—Kyoto, a place he had never been before.

After the call connected, before Chen Xuan could ask any questions, a soothing, mature female voice echoed in his ears.

"Hello, are you Master Chen Xuan? My name is Jiang Qing."
