Chapter 153 - 101: There Are Still Warriors!
Chapter 153 - 101: There Are Still Warriors!
Seeing that the game system was still collecting data package (2), Chen Han didn’t bother making guesses and knew he would find out after the game system finished loading the data package.
After finishing the incense burning, he bid farewell to Aunt and left.
Looking back, he saw Aunt checking the candle flames again and decided that in the future, he would have Little Uncle bring her some herbal meals daily. Even though she’s too old to fully benefit from nourishment, a small amount is fine and can still strengthen her body.
Although the Chen Family is a Taoist hereditary family, it now only has a facade and a name.
As the Patriarch, he only learned some Taoist stuff in his childhood from his father. If it comes to discussing Taoist scriptures, he might not even match up to some Taoist laymen practicing at home.
In the entire Chen Family, perhaps only Aunt could be considered a true practitioner of cultivation, mostly serving at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.
Returning to his room, without any Spirit Stones, he couldn’t cultivate. The Spiritual Qi in the air was too thin, like a bit of moisture in the desert. Breathing in felt like nothing but hot sand and dust.
He simply took out the Daoist Scripture Atlas and the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" to teach himself. He had almost finished learning the Daoist Scripture Atlas, needing only practice for proficiency. Then, upon learning the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," the Calm Heart +2 attribute could take effect.
Looking at the "Ancient Calm Heart Technique," he thought the book could be displayed a few times in the tour passage. Although the exhibition passage had some old photos and story introductions showcasing the long history of the Chen Family, there weren’t things that truly supported the Chen Family’s internal foundation.
This internal foundation isn’t the ancient architecture that can be seen from the outside, nor is it his roof-leaping and wall-climbing skills, but something that stands up to inquiry and investigation, proven to exist through facts.
This "Ancient Calm Heart Technique" is such an object, as important as the "Records of the Grand Historian," also providing important evidence of the family’s underground Feng Shui Array, which he made up.
Like Little Uncle, Xiaomi, Junior Sister, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng, after seeing this "Ancient Calm Heart Technique," they firmly believed. Now, as mentioned more, the belief that there’s a Feng Shui Array under Chen Family’s ground became their subconscious perception.
Time passed.
The next day, Chen Han still woke up to the sound of an alarm clock.
Upon rising, he looked at the data. The new data for ’Sword Control Technique is not a Special Effect Video’ had stopped growing, and the video was ultimately regarded as an abstract video.
However, it did gain him some followers, with a total reaching 560,000.
Looking at reputation, it’s at 500,000 (537414/500,000).
The upgrade conditions were already met, only lacking in wealth.
Therefore, the production of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea needed to be intensified and opportunities found to increase its price.
First, the fame of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea needed to be enhanced, to attract more affluent people who would scramble for it.
One way was to brew some regular Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and offer a cup to those who booked a room and stayed.
It wouldn’t take much, and the goal wasn’t to expect those people to buy, but just to spread word-of-mouth.
However, the area of the Chen family’s Thunder Bamboo Forest is ultimately limited. Once the maximum yield is exceeded, it will take at least a month for the bamboo leaves to regrow at their fastest, with other factors potentially causing growth to halt.
Thus, the production of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea would also have to be temporarily halted.
In the short term, other ways to make money must be found.
He thought of the few Moon Gazing Sands in the elm wood pipe, which might bring more surprise than Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
There were plenty of wealthy people, and even more who were willing to spend. Wealthy individuals with eye ailments would undoubtedly spend to cure their eyes.
After washing up and heading downstairs, he frowned upon reaching the courtyard. The Moon Gazing Rabbit House had no Moon Gazing Sand today, even though he had watched the white rabbit for half the day, hoping it would perform well today.
In office politics, isn’t it true that when the boss shows up, people find something to do even if there’s nothing?
He hoped the white rabbit would be sensible enough to at least produce one drop even if it had no dung to release.
Unfortunately, the white rabbit remained indifferent, focused only on eating its vegetables.
Ah, the rabbit didn’t grasp the essence of office politics.
The supply of Moon Gazing Sand was clearly unstable, so even if the existing Moon Gazing Sand were to be sold, it couldn’t be sold cheaply.
While ’Wu Hao Loves Life’ caused quite a stir yesterday, there was still some benefit, as at least ordinary people knew it was a rumor. What the hospital couldn’t treat, the Chen Family also couldn’t cure.
For such matters, it’s best if ordinary people don’t know. Even if someone heard, immediately expressing skepticism is best. He would even agree to uphold faith in science.
It’s not that he looked down upon ordinary people or anything, but if it became common knowledge, it would bring about a lot of trouble.
For instance, the penniless might come and linger indefinitely, exploiting moral pressure, among other tricks.
If it were merely moral pressure, it would be manageable, but should his goodwill succeed in healing someone, the counterpart might report him for practicing medicine without a license or even for extortion.
There were tales of when ’certificates’ became a thing and how many formidable old practitioners of Chinese medicine fell for this trick, ending in despair without passing on their medical skills.
Whether those rumors are true, he didn’t know.
But such matters indeed needed caution.
Moo moo!
Youfu’s call rang out as it lay at his feet, and he mounted the cow, heading towards the Special Spiritual Acupoint while Youcai, having experienced a Spiritual Energy Flush, eagerly led the way ahead.
