Located north of Stone City, Stream Mountain stretched for fifty kilometers. It was an idyllic place with lush vegetation, where one could hear the twittering of birds and smell the fragrance of flowers.

On top of that, there were many ancient relics in Stream Mountain, and it was a place mentioned in several famous poems. It was also renowned for its scenic nature.

It was a pity though, that Stone City was only considered a third-tier small city in China. Due to its inaccessibility, even though it was a fine place, developing it was an arduous task.

Through the relentless efforts of several generations of consuls, Stone City finally obtained some resources to commence its reform. Slowly, Stone City was starting to open up roads and attract investment and was gradually advancing to become a second-tier city.

But because of geographical factors, it was difficult to achieve a breakthrough in commercial development. Hence, Stone City decided to take another approach—developing Stream Mountain instead. They planned to refurbish the residential areas near to nature and transform it into a tourism destination.

The task of developing this place fell upon Shuanglong Group.

Strolling at the foot of Stream Mountain, Chen Hao admired his surroundings.

There wasn’t a famous main peak in the entire of Stream Mountain. Because there weren’t any particularly high peaks in Stream Mountain, the fame of the various peaks was more or less the same.

But there was something unique about Stream Mountain—the canyon.

The weaving canyon, which extended in all directions, divided Stream Mountain up into several islands. Through the ages, the streams trickled through the valleys.

Some clever businessmen in Stone City even branded the water from the streams of Stream Mountain, and it was now the main source of drinking water in Stone City.

As the saying went “In the mountains, one lives on mountain products. Along the coast, on sea products”. Stone City only came to be because of the existence of Stream Mountain.

Compared to the vastness of Stream Mountain, Stone City only occupied a small area. Most of it was undeveloped lands, and this was what gave the consul of Stone City the idea to develop this place.

The developed land was in the mid-section of Stream Mountain. This was the best route into the mountain. There was once a famous centuries-old temple here, but after the calamity of several decades ago, it had become a dilapidated place.

According to the plans of the Stone City officials, since they were developing this area and trying to attract tourism, they naturally sought to have more places of interest. Hence, they wished to rebuild this temple as well.

Too bad ever since the paranormal activity appeared, development had stopped. The reconstruction of the temple had yet to commence before it was called to a halt.

After arriving, all Chen Hao saw was a huge construction land and not a single person.

But it made sense though. After all, someone had died and construction had stopped. The lively scenes had vanished as soon as they appeared, and this place was now quiet and deserted.

When he got to the construction site, Chen Hao sized up his surroundings.

Ever since his Yin Yang Eyes was activated, not only was he able to see ghosts, but he could also see all kinds of energies in the world.

Every fengshui master dreamed of having such eyes.

This was because fengshui masters could only deploy their means by observing the movements of the energies.

One couldn’t truly be considered a fengshui master if he couldn’t even see energies.

Right now, Chen Hao could see the energies in Stream Mountain.

The energy was of a light yellow color, permeating the entire Stream Mountain like a massive dragon lying upon the ground.

According to what little fengshui knowledge he had learned from various sources, Chen Hao called such an energy “Dragon Energy”.

Mountain Dragon Energy, the lifeblood of the land.

It was because of this Dragon Energy that this vibrant mountain forest existed.

Chen Hao’s gaze shifted towards the construction site and he saw a different type of energy from the Dragon Energy.

Black energy. Wispy and spreading throughout the entire construction site.

Chen Hao carefully observed and discovered that this black energy only existed in dark corners. If sunlight were to shine upon it, it would immediately dissipate.

Chen Hao couldn’t resist gazing up at the blazing sun and feeling amazed.

The sun is indeed the most awesome existence, the best at purging coldness and evil.

As he continued delving deeper, he found himself in the middle of the construction site.

All of a sudden, an abnormal sensation seized his body. And as he went deeper in, this sensation became stronger.
