Of course, Gilberto wasn’t worried about what Leo was about to prove, but he was afraid that he would damage his own rockery.
Leo didn’t rush to start, he glanced at the nervous expression on Gilberto’s face, and smiled, “Gilberto, don’t worry, I won’t ruin your Wealth Gathering Array.”
Gilberto was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized, staring at Leo with a surprised tone, “Are you a geomancy master!?”
Leo didn’t answer his question, but said insightfully, “I was curious before why you were so interested in the two Tongbao coins in my hand, it seems it’s because of this Wealth Gathering Array in your shop.”
“What do you mean?” Gilberto pretended not to understand.
“Your shop’s Wealth Gathering Array is not perfect, although it can gather wealth, there is still room for improvement.”
“If you place items related to gathering luck and wealth in strategic positions, it will embellish the Wealth Gathering Array and allow this geomantic formation to approach perfection.”
After saying this, Leo threw the Tongbao coin Gilberto had given him into the rockery’s pedestal.
“Hey, I said, don’t mess around!” Gilberto anxiously exclaimed.
He knew the importance of this Wealth Gathering Array, if Leo ruined it, it would be too late to cry over.
Gilberto wanted to reach out and fish out the Tongbao coin, but Leo stopped him.
“What are you doing!?” Gilberto was getting angry.
Leo smiled faintly, “Gilberto, don’t worry, as I said, I won’t destroy your Wealth Gathering Array, just watch quietly.”
At that moment, there was an unusual change in the pedestal in the middle of the rockery.
The four spouts on the pedestal suddenly stopped spouting water, and then the water level in the pedestal began to rise.
Soon the water overflowed from the pedestal, falling onto the lotus leaves at the bottom and splashing outside the flat flowerpot.
“This…” Gilberto couldn’t understand.
How could throwing a Tongbao coin into the pedestal block the spouts? After all, there were four spouts!
Although he didn’t understand, Gilberto thought this abnormal phenomenon was not good, and urged, “Quick, fish out the Tongbao coin. If you ruin my Wealth Gathering Array, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
Leo, as if he hadn’t heard him, untied the red thread on his hand and then placed one of the Tongbao coins into the square pedestal.
Surprisingly, as soon as the Tongbao coin was placed in, two of the spouts on the pedestal started flowing again, and the overflowing water gradually subsided.
After placing the other Tongbao coin inside as well, the third spout started flowing too, and at this point, the water in the pedestal stopped overflowing.
Leo reached in and fished out Gilberto’s Tongbao coin from the pedestal.
At that moment, all four spouts on the pedestal started flowing again, and the water circulation in the entire rockery returned to its previous state.
Not only that, but due to the placement of the two Tongbao coins, there was a faint metallic clinking sound coming from the pedestal.
This sound wasn’t sharp, but it echoed around, resembling coins flowing like water, giving a magical feeling of money coming towards oneself.
Seeing is believing, Gilberto’s expression changed from anxious and angry to delight and astonishment, as he stared straight at the square pedestal in front of him.
“Wealth Gathering Array, wealth coming from all directions. Gilberto, let’s be frank, I do understand geomancy, and the geomantic layout in your shop, I know it very well.”
Leo reached out his right hand to fish out the two Tongbao coins placed in the pedestal, and as the coins were removed, the magical sound of money also disappeared.
Coming back from his daze, Gilberto looked at Leo again and asked, “Do you really understand geomancy?”
Leo handed Gilberto his Tongbao coin back and said with a smile, “Why, don’t I look like I do?”
“Gilberto, there’s a lot going on in your shop. This Wealth Gathering Array is just one part of the geomantic layout in your shop. Moreover, the three levels of white marble steps at the entrance are a finishing touch, combined with the Wealth Gathering Array, hinting at a step-by-step wealth generation.”
After Leo said this, Gilberto’s expression immediately turned respectful, “May I ask for your name?”
“Leo Bloomer.”
“Leo Boy, this lady… should be your girlfriend or lover, right? Come, let’s sit down and talk.” Gilberto politely invited the two to sit near the tea table.
After sitting down, Gilberto removed the previous tea and took out a tea caddy from the drawer behind the counter, placing it carefully on the table. He started brewing tea for the two of them, saying, “This is my collection of Earl Grey tea, please have a taste.”
Gilberto sure changed his tune quickly. Leo and Sophia exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Since they were offered precious tea, they naturally didn’t hold back.
“Leo Boy, you mentioned you understand geomancy, so I have to test you again. Take my little shop, do you see any other ways?” Gilberto was still quite suspicious.
Leo didn’t mind his doubts, sipping Earl Grey tea, he casually pointed to a spot not far from the tea table on the ground, “The entire shop is tiled, except for this spot where three wooden boards are laid, which I believe are teak wood.”
“Three teak wood boards, each measuring thirty centimeters long and nine centimeters wide, forming a Triad Array.”
Upon hearing Leo mention the “Triad Array,” Gilberto’s skepticism completely vanished. He raised his teacup apologetically, “Leo Boy, no, Mr. Bloomer, I was blind to your talents. Let me offer you a cup of tea instead of wine.”
“Do not mention it, Gilberto.” Leo expected this change in Gilberto’s attitude.
Leo wasn’t arrogant either, so he raised his cup and shared a drink with him.
As for Sophia sitting next to Leo, she was obedient and quiet. She didn’t understand these geomantic matters, so she remained a quiet observer.
“Mr. Bloomer, I asked to borrow your Yin-Yang Coin for three months, what do you think?” Despite being polite, Gilberto still didn’t want to miss out on Leo’s two Tongbao coins.
Leo declined once again, “Gilberto, I understand your desire to improve the geomantic formation in your shop, but I need these two Tongbao coins for a purpose, and I won’t lend them.”
Gilberto’s expression became somewhat crestfallen.
“Improving the geomantic formation in your shop doesn’t have to rely solely on Yin-Yang Coin.” Leo shifted the conversation, “The imperfect geomantic layout in your shop is due to the conflicting angles between the Six Stars Arch and the Wealth Gathering Array.”
