Chapter 168 - 106: Loose Cultivators’ Tribute! Genuine Demon Dao Equipment! (Part 2)
So, he directly put the refined Eight Trigrams Ring on his finger. He was studying and using their methods to better deal with the Demon Path Demons.
Presumably, friends of the Righteous Dao would understand him.
Besides, this was a good technique for a Minor Punishment, Major Warning. He was a bit eager to experiment with it.
However, it was impossible to experiment with this skill on family members, and tourists couldn’t be used either; casually testing it out would mean both the tool and the person being targeted would be associated with Demonic Qi.
Of course, if there really were those particularly annoying tourists who didn’t know their limits, then he wouldn’t hold back. Money spent on a Chen Family tour wouldn’t grant them limitless leniency.
Moreover, many attractions have strange tourists causing trouble, and the attractions are left with no choice but to call the police.
Now with this method, why call the police?
Once the piles-inducing skill takes effect, they’ll be in no mood to cause a scene, completely losing their energy.
If it were another ailment, they might claim it was something they ate at the attraction, but nobody wants to admit to piles.
Really, blaming piles on the attraction would be such a bizarre case online, that the person would be infamous by the next day, experiencing immediate social disgrace.
Even if, during their tantrums, he could remind them this is a place dedicated to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, causing trouble here is disrespectful to the gods. Then, if they suffer severe piles, wouldn’t they feel a hint of regret?
He secretly hoped luck would bring such a tourist his way, to give this skill a test run.
So, he decisively stepped out of the room, went to the courtyard, and started looking for a target among the Chen Family.
Unfortunately, after wandering around the Chen Family, all the tourists were very well-mannered; there wasn’t a single problematic visitor.
Next, he went to check out the marketplace.
The market had long been established, located east between the village and the Chen Family.
A large archway had already been erected there, with the words "Chen Family Cultivation Marketplace" written above.
Several beautiful girls were taking pictures under the market sign. Upon seeing Chen Han, they greeted him excitedly:
"It’s the Patriarch Chen!"
"Patriarch Chen, you’re so handsome!"
One girl even boldly shouted.
Hearing this honest compliment, Chen Han immediately approached, flipped his hand, and took an apple from the warehouse to hand to the girl: "You’re very beautiful too."
"Ah..." the girl, receiving the apple, beamed with delight.
The other girls exclaimed, recalling the online rumors that Patriarch Chen would transform apples for tourists. To their surprise, they were lucky enough to experience it!
Moreover, they hadn’t actually seen how Patriarch Chen conjured the apple.
Chen Han headed inside the market. Today, the Chen Family’s accommodations had over 200 bookings; with couples and families sharing rooms, the tourists definitely exceeded 300.
Consequently, the marketplace was bustling. Many villagers had set up stalls to sell to the crowd.
After looking around, Chen Han didn’t spot any troublesome tourists. Instead, many villagers from Shangyuan Village noticed him and eagerly handed him things from their stalls:
"Patriarch Chen, try my peaches."
"Patriarch Chen, taste my Yang Mei!"
...
"This is a cucumber I grew myself, Patriarch Chen, take some home to try!"
Every villager was extremely enthusiastic, uniformly referring to him as Patriarch Chen, evidently instructed by Guo Zhen, their village chief, who knew how to build rapport.
Before long, Chen Han was loaded with bags filled with small amounts of goods, representing the villagers’ goodwill.
But an unexpected game prompt caught his attention:
[Due to the powerful presence of the Chen Family and their repeated victories against Demon Path Demons, providing peace to the surrounding area and establishing a Cultivation Marketplace where loose cultivators can safely trade cultivation resources, a loose cultivator has offered a Yellow Spirit Melon in gratitude!]
Intrigued, Chen Han inspected the now present cucumber in the warehouse... no, it was a Yellow Spirit Melon. Although they looked the same, the name was different.
He recalled previously receiving the Mouse Spirit Fruit under similar circumstances: after villagers gave him Yang Mei and peaches, triggering a game system storyline where a loose cultivator offered it. Now, there was another offering.
This indicated that frequenting the Cultivation Marketplace might yield unexpected rewards.
Chen Han promptly checked the Yellow Spirit Melon’s details:
[This is a special Yellow Spirit Melon, with a thick body and a surface lined with small granules, seemingly possessing unique properties.
Additionally, this peculiar spirit melon, when juiced, provides remarkable effects: +2 skin whitening, +2 bust-enhancing!]
Awestruck by the melon’s effects, he gaped.
Even the Cultivation World paid attention to spirit melons with such effects?
No wonder the female cultivators had fair skin and great figures.
Even if they don’t use cultivation techniques for body shaping, consuming such spirit melons makes a noticeable difference.
However, he had no use for it, being a man who had no need for skin whitening or bust enhancements.
He thought of his junior sister and Xiaomi, who might rejoice at receiving this.
Especially his junior sister, while her figure was fine, she lacked Xiaomi’s prominent attributes.
As girls, they would surely wish for a boost in that regard.
While pondering, Chen Han noticed Uncle Chen Daqiao, sporting a ’Civilization Supervisor’ armband, approaching with two old men. With the rise in tourists, more vendors came to the market. His junior sister had arranged for two family elders to assist.
