Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 561 Zhuge Zi and Formation
Su Chen stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moonlight and its reflection on the shimmering surface of the lake, unwilling to give up just yet.
"No, I must find the key to this!"
After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Su Chen threw the butt on the ground and stamped it out before turning back and walking into the house, a determined look appearing on his face.
He believed that he could find the reason why the Yuan Qi was so abundant in this estate.

This time, Su Chen started from the outermost room, searching meticulously, leaving no stone unturned in any place.
This search lasted all night, and by the time the sun entered the room the next day, there was still not a single clue.
Because of his detailed search, he had covered less than one-fifth of the area by the end of the night.
However, Su Chen did not intend to give up and continued to search diligently, as if he would never stop until he achieved his goal.
From dawn to dusk, Su Chen continued searching from room to room, maintaining a high level of focus at all times.
He forgot to eat, forgot to drink, and even forgot to smoke, solely focused on finding out why the Yuan Qi here was so dense.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the moon climbed slowly up the branches, gradually rising higher in the sky.
Su Chen still searched carefully. He believed that perseverance would pay off, and as long as he didn't give up, there was hope!
When the bright moon was overhead, Su Chen had already searched most of the rooms. At that moment, he walked up to another door and pushed it open.
He had been in this room before and found nothing. In the room, near the inner wall, there was an altar that looked weathered, as if it had endured countless years.
On both sides of the altar, there were candlestands, and above the altar hung a large portrait; in front of it was a meditation cushion.
The room seemed to be used for worship and did not appear to have anything special.
But this time, Su Chen was even more meticulous than before, carefully examining and identifying every inch of the walls and floor, especially under the meditation cushion, where he knocked several times to see if there was anything unusual.
Then he remembered that in a palace on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, the mechanism was behind the painting, so he lifted the portrait to check behind it and even touched the wall behind it, but still found nothing.
Su Chen, somewhat discouraged, shook his head, ready to leave.
Just then, his gaze fell on the two candlestands.
Su Chen did not think there would be any secrets about the candlestands, but adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry," he walked over to take a closer look.
Unexpectedly, when he casually tried to lift one, he couldn't move the candlestand at all.
Su Chen's heart trembled, and he quickly came closer to examine it, only to discover that the candlestand was actually attached to the altar.
This unexpected discovery made Su Chen thrilled, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he looked carefully at the candlestand for ten minutes, yet could not discern anything unusual.
But Su Chen knew something was off, as after all, who has candlestands attached to their altars?
Finding nothing unusual, Su Chen could only take down the candles, exposing the small columns where the candles had been placed.
Su Chen looked at the column for a long while but still found nothing, so he reached out and touched it.
Suddenly, he casually twisted the column and found that it could rotate!
He immediately started rotating the column, but nothing special happened.
"Right, there's another candlestand!"
Quickly, Su Chen took down the candle from the other stand, then started rotating the column where the candle had been placed, still, nothing happened.
"Could it be that they need to be rotated simultaneously?"
Su Chen thought to himself. He then stood between the two candlestands and simultaneously rotated the two small columns.
Su Chen was once again disappointed, even though he had been full of anticipation.
"I just turned it clockwise; now let's try counterclockwise."
Su Chen turned them again at the same time, and the result was the same as before.
"Then one clockwise and one counterclockwise!"
Su Chen, undeterred, once again rotated the two tiny columns!
This time, Su Chen had just started turning when a faint "squeak squeak" noise emerged from inside the incense table.
To Su Chen's ears, the faint "squeak squeak" sound was like music from the heavens!
"There's a way!"
Su Chen's eyes brightened as he continued turning the two cylindrical columns.
As he turned them, the "squeak squeak" noise seemed to grow louder!
"Bang!"
Just as Su Chen rotated the two cylindrical columns to their limit and could not turn them any further, suddenly, the incense table split in half right down the middle!
This sudden change actually startled Su Chen, but when he focused his gaze once more, he found a book had fallen to the ground.
Su Chen immediately picked up the book, and saw that the cover had the large letters "Formation" written on it.
Down to the right of these two big characters were three small characters, "Zhuge Zi."
"Could this be a book written by someone named Zhuge Zi?"
Su Chen murmured, feeling somewhat disappointed.
He had originally wanted to find out why the manor's Yuan Qi was so intense, but after all this searching, he just found an old book!
"Well, at least I'm not leaving empty-handed."
Su Chen smiled wryly, comforting himself this way.
In fact, he had been secretly criticizing: An old book was hidden so secretively, really!
Su Chen casually flipped through the book, but upon a closer look, he was somewhat stunned!
He had thought the book was about various formations used in ancient warfare, but that was not the case at all!
The formations described inside were ones he had never heard of, such as the Trapped Dragon Formation, the Nine Palaces Defending Formation, the Qiankun Yin Yang Formation, and so on.
The book not only introduced various specific formations but also provided detailed explanations of several aspects of a formation, like the Array Plate and Formation Eye!
Su Chen had only intended to briefly look through it, but he found himself increasingly mesmerized!
The book seemed to have opened up a completely new world to him!
When he read the section about the "Gathering Yuan Formation," he was dumbfounded!
He had no idea that there was a formation in this world that could gather all the surrounding Yuan Qi into one place!
"Could it be that the abundance of True Yuan in this manor and around Jiangyang Lake is also due to some kind of Gathering Yuan Formation?"
A look of disbelief crossed Su Chen's face!
According to the book, the Gathering Yuan Formation is just a general term for a type of formation, with various kinds of Gathering Yuan Formations producing different effects!
