I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 181 - 111: Can This Be Taught? Transforming the Spirit Field!

Xiaoyu and Xiaomi went upstairs with surprise on their faces. The growing sense of tranquility made them subconsciously stop and listen to the chanting.

As they listened, they became more and more focused, as if their minds were becoming clearer and their distracting thoughts were fading away.

Due to the Chen Family’s National Style event, there were many details they couldn’t sort out. But at this moment, as if a light bulb went off in their minds, many things became clear.

This made the two of them exchange an incredulous look, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Soon, the chanting stopped, and Xiaoyu stepped forward to knock on the door.

Chen Han opened the door and saw his junior sister and Xiaomi standing outside. With a smile, he asked, "Why are you here?"

As he spoke, his gaze instinctively fell on their chests, as if they still hadn’t grown...

"Senior brother, what kind of look is that? The new vest I bought won’t work that fast!" Xiaoyu noticed his gaze and gave him a look, then said, "I have two things to report to you."

"The first issue is still about accommodation. The original 300 rooms, plus 150 cleared by the family, along with the vacant standalone courtyards, are still not enough. The empty houses cleared by the family get snapped up as soon as they are listed. With more people coming for the National Style event, we’ll need to come up with more solutions."

Chen Han had anticipated this situation and said, "We’ll have to talk to the village. There are many vacant houses there. If it doesn’t work, visitors will have to stay in the county. I’ve already discussed with the cultural tourism side, and they will arrange special bus routes."

"Okay!" Xiaoyu nodded, then said, "The other thing, senior brother, is that you previously asked Little Uncle to open up 10 acres of land, which still needs peach trees planted. The land is prepared, and part of the peach tree batch I ordered has been delivered, ready to plant tomorrow. I don’t know if you have any special planting requirements for these peach trees. If it’s not enough, more will need to be ordered."

Chen Han thought for a moment and said, "I’ll go over tomorrow to assess the actual situation and then decide how to plant the peach trees."

These 10 acres are to be transformed into 10 acres of Level 1 Spirit Fields. Right now, the Spirit Field Transformation Token is still in his warehouse, and planting peach trees is required to construct the Sealing Spirit Array through the Sealing Spirit Plant, which will then activate the Spirit Field Effect.

As for the location where the peach trees need to be planted for the Sealing Spirit Array, he didn’t know yet. The exact location will become clear after the Spirit Field Transformation Token is used.

Xiaoyu nodded. After addressing the two matters, she looked expectantly at her senior brother, "Senior brother, have you completed the research on the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’? I felt tranquility and focus while listening to your chant outside just now."

"My mind was clear, and my thoughts were sharper," Xiaomi echoed.

"Yes." Chen Han nodded. He had also felt it himself while chanting just now. Looking at the two girls, he started reciting again, "When people are calm, they are secure; when affairs are calm, they are smooth; when the heart is calm, it prevails... mind and spirit as one..."

As he recited, Xiaoyu and Xiaomi once more experienced that wonderful sensation, feeling peaceful and focused.

Xiaomi had recently read many Taoist texts, noting that in ancient times, prominent figures would often visit Daoist Temples for mental peace and recuperation when they were agitated or unsettled, listening to a Daoist’s chant to calm down.

The most famous examples were several emperors.

The most recent one being Yong Zheng.

Although that emperor belonged to the Qing Dynasty, and people aren’t fond of the Qing Court, there are records of him suffering from conditions like manic depression after ascending the throne. It was only after listening to the chanting of a wise Daoist that he recovered, which led him to greatly believe in the Taoist Sect, even writing poems for many legendary Taoist figures and incorporating Taoist elements into his governance.

Before, she couldn’t understand this at all. For someone with manic depression, it would be logical to need silence, not a nearby noise that would aggravate agitation, and even music couldn’t be tolerated.

Now, listening to Chen Han chant the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique,’ she realized that Taoist chants indeed have such miraculous effects.

Finally, Chen Han finished chanting once more.

Xiaoyu couldn’t help but ask, "Senior brother, can I learn the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’?"

"You can!" Chen Han replied with a smile.

The ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ has just one limitation: it only works in the presence of the Chen Family. According to it, the effect must be paired with the underground array of the Chen Family; it doesn’t work externally.

As he spoke, he also handed the Daoist Scripture Atlas to Xiaoyu: "Once you master this Daoist Scripture Atlas, you can learn the musical notes of the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique.’"

Xiaoyu immediately took the Scripture Atlas and began to study it seriously, but the Daoist Scripture symbols, resembling music notes, soon seemed to her like tadpoles swimming.

Then she felt as if those tadpoles swam into her mind, tearing at her skull.

Her head hurt!

She immediately pleaded, "Senior brother, can you just directly teach me how to chant the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’?"

"Sure, I can. I’ll say a line, and you try to follow it." Chen Han said as he recited, "When people are calm, they are secure; when affairs are calm, they are smooth; when the heart is calm, it prevails..."

"???" Xiaoyu was immediately flustered, because she couldn’t even remember a bit after reciting just one word.

She thought it would be simple to follow line by line, but those notes, those tones...

Chen Han chuckled; the special musical notes and tones of Taoist chanting are actually harder than learning music by following along.

And for his junior sister, getting her to memorize something, even an ancient poem, is a significant task, let alone chanting.
