Nine-Star Geomancy: Back to My Old Trade After Prison

With a wealth of skills and a life marked by ups and downs, Chen Duanwu can read mountain veins, identify terrain, and see through formations. Having left the dust of his past behind, all he wants is to live quietly and peacefully.

But a mysterious incident deep in the mountains of Liudaogou suddenly comes to light, and an ancient, long-sealed cave reappears in the world, concealing countless unknown secrets. Precise mortise-and-tenon structures, century-old double-layer locks, and a maze of underground passages: layers of mechanisms tightly seal the secret hidden deep within the mountain.

Invited by a client, Chen Duanwu leads a team into the mountains to investigate, accompanied by Er Biaozi, Wufeng, and the others. Wufeng, who possesses a unique lock-picking skill, deftly breaks through mechanisms a thousand years old. Step by step, the group ventures deeper, clearing away the fog as they search for ancient traces left in the cave. They unexpectedly discover a strange rock formation with a distinctive texture.

Human nature is harder to see through than a sinister puzzle. Someone behind the scenes deliberately conceals clues and alters maps, using the group to explore the dangerous site in the hope of monopolizing the mountain's secrets.

An expert in geomancy and the earth's veins, and well versed in ancient arcane arts, Chen Duanwu sees through every scheme without so much as a blink. Relying on his genuine skills, he surveys the earth's nine-star veins, solves the ancient maze, exposes human deceit, and uncovers a mountain secret history buried for ages.

A slow-burning, realistic story, with every step drawing you deeper into the game. No...
