**Chapter 41: The Forbidden Art of Three Corpses Blocking Wealth (Part 3)**
Li Chengfeng remained skeptical. The Treasure-Spitting Beast was a myth—this fluffy creature was likely just a mutated rodent. With dusk approaching, he tossed it a leftover sausage. "Stay here, little guy. We're leaving."
The creature chirped, snatched the sausage, and vanished into the cave's shadows. The eerie *tap-tap* behind them ceased.

**Village Gratitude**
Returning to Wang Bin's home, they found the courtyard piled with gifts: liquor, cigarettes, cured meats, and cash—60,000 yuan stacked on a table. Villagers crowded the house, their faces alight with relief. Since Li Chengfeng broke the *Earth Fiend Ox Curse*, no more livestock—or villagers—had died.
An elder pressed the money into Li Chengfeng's hands. "You saved us. Take this!"
Li Chengfeng peeled off 200 yuan. "This is enough."
The crowd erupted. "Take it all, or you're insulting us!"
Reluctantly, he accepted. Wang Bin watched, awed. *Six figures in a day…*
"Teach me feng shui," Wang Bin pleaded. "This is easy money!"
Li Chengfeng shook his head. "It's not just memorizing *Heavenly Stems* or *Eight Trigrams*. It's lifetimes of study."

**Back in Qingzhou**
At *Serendipity Hall*, Li Chengfeng lit incense before his ancestral master's portrait. "I'll make those scammers pay," he vowed. The painted figure seemed to nod—a detail Wang Bin missed while gulping water.
"When do we strike?" Wang Bin asked eagerly.
Li Chengfeng calculated. "Tonight—a *Three Ruins Day*. Perfect for curses."
"What's a Three Ruins Day?"
"A day when cosmic energies fracture," Li Chengfeng explained. "Chaos reigns. Ideal for dismantling fortunes."
