I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 126 Sword Control Technique Improves! The flowers have truly bloomed!

It was getting dark.

The Chen family was still very lively, and the free Leizhu Lingcha tea stations in various places were still serving tea.

Even if you haven't booked a room with good feng shui, you can still drink it for free if you book a hotel in the county or if you are a tourist visiting the county.

Those from the county who came to join in the fun have been posting photos and videos related to the Chen family's consecration ceremony on their WeChat Moments again and again.

The girl Zhu Jie brought along did just that, posting on her WeChat Moments several times in a row. It's safe to say that Chen's family has become a sensation in the county today.

The girl sipped her Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and said sweetly, "This Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea is so delicious, but even a regular canister costs 2, it's so expensive."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jie immediately said, "Do you like to drink it? I'll buy you a regular one."

"No, no, it's too expensive, I can't accept it." The girl was resistant and quickly shook her head: "I'm not the kind of girl who would accept such an expensive gift from someone else."

Zhu Jie loved her even more after hearing this. Although he knew she was treating him like a sycophant, she hadn't lied to him about anything, and he refused the Lei Zhu Ling Tea she offered.

Where can you find such a good girl?

It must be delivered.

Sincerity will surely move her.

So, not long after, he reluctantly bought a canister of ordinary Leizhu Spirit Tea and gave it to the girl. He only reluctantly accepted it after she declined.

The moment the girl received the Leizhu Lingcha tea, she couldn't suppress her smile any longer. She took a selfie and posted it on her WeChat Moments: "Chen's Leizhu Lingcha, a canister costs over 2 yuan. I was lucky enough to buy a canister today."

Besides her, many tourists are also selling Leizhu Lingcha (a type of bamboo tea) today, which is how the fame of this bamboo tea spreads quickly.

Zhu Jie smiled when he saw the girl laughing happily.

He's happy when she's happy.

Afterwards, the two planned to eat something at Chen's Restaurant before returning to the county. They were quite hungry, but found that there were too many tourists and Chen's Restaurant was completely full, with a long queue forming.

Fortunately, when the two arrived at the Immortal Cultivation Market outside the Chen family's residence, they saw some people selling snacks at a stall and quickly went over to buy some to eat.

At this time, the entire Immortal Cultivation Market was also very lively.

Guo Zhen was setting up a grass jelly stall and served a bowl of grass jelly to several tourists. The grass jelly, made purely by hand in an iron pot and with honey, was quite popular with the tourists.

Mr. Lin's idea was really good. We brought some snacks to Xiuxian Market to sell today, and business was indeed very good.

But thinking of the consecration ceremony of the Chen family today, he looked at the Chen family with awe.

He participated in the entire ceremony that afternoon, and the blessing was given amidst the light drizzle...that magical feeling...

...

...

After a busy day, the Chen family members packed up and went home to resume normal life. However, the discussion about today's ceremony in the family group never stopped.

It is evident that after this consecration ceremony, the participating clansmen have developed a stronger sense of unity.

Only a cohesive family can have a future.

Chen Han, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Mi had already arrived at their uncle's kitchen and sat down at the table to have dinner together.

"Xiao Han, the Chen family hasn't been this lively in a long time. It's all thanks to you. Your uncle toasts you!" Chen Lin said with a big smile. He had specially brought out his homemade rice wine tonight and drank a big bowl with Chen Han.

After finishing his drink, Chen Han put down his bowl and said to his junior sister, "Junior sister, I've discussed it with the county's cultural and tourism department. We'll be cooperating to hold a procession of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable for blessings every year on this day. After you finish eating, go tell your aunt and make a note of it."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu asked again, "Senior brother, should today's date be recorded in the Gregorian calendar or the lunar calendar?"

Chen Han was taken aback when he heard this. Today, July 16th, is the Gregorian calendar date, not the lunar calendar date. Moreover, the dates in the lunar and Gregorian calendars are different every year, which can cause confusion.

“Remember the lunar calendar!” Chen Han immediately said, since Taoists refer to the lunar calendar for all auspicious days and times.

"Okay, I understand." Xiaoyu nodded, then said excitedly, "Senior brother, the online buzz about our Chen family's consecration ceremony has already started. Many tourists posted videos this afternoon, and it will definitely go viral tonight. It will definitely be a huge hit tomorrow."

Chen Han also saw the situation on Douyin and knew this as well. Because there were enough tourists posting videos today, the quantitative change led to the qualitative change, and the natural fermentation triggered the traffic pool.

The Chen family, however, should capitalize on this popularity.

So he also said, "Xiaoyu, these days you should teach your uncle, Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng, and even your aunt how to play Douyin. If that doesn't work, form a team to expose the Chen family from multiple perspectives."

"For example, Uncle Shuisheng is in charge of local specialties. Although he only has Leizhu Spirit Tea now, he can still film the daily production of Leizhu Spirit Tea. Uncle Dagou can film the daily training of the Demon Control Hall, and Auntie can film some videos of daily Taoist etiquette."

"This is very beneficial for maintaining and preserving the popularity of the entire Chen family, and it can attract traffic through various promotional channels."

"I understand," Xiaoyu replied.

Although my uncle had filmed one or two videos before, they were just casual shots. Now, their popularity is sure to explode. With a little careful planning, my uncle and his team can gain a lot of attention.

After dinner, Chen Han returned to his own courtyard.

The three oxen, Youcai, Fulushou, and Sanniu, were not present. As the spirit beasts that cleared the way, they were going to have a feast today, as they were taken to the Great Hall of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable for a lavish meal.

After returning to his room and taking a good shower, he took out the spirit stones and began to cultivate.

After practicing the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method," I estimated the amount of true qi in my body. Today, I might be able to try to break through to the second belt meridian.

In the world of martial arts cultivation, the belt meridian is not easy to open with internal force because of its special location. Unlike the Ren and Du meridians and the Chong meridian, which run vertically through the whole body, the belt meridian is like a "belt" that wraps around the waist and connects the meridians of the upper and lower body.

This horizontal distribution makes it easy for internal force to form "blockage points" when it is flowing. Unblocking these points requires precise guidance of the horizontal flow of internal force, which is more difficult than the vertical meridians.

In addition, the belt meridian is responsible for "restraining all meridians," which is equivalent to adding a "fixing belt" to the meridians of the whole body. Once it is opened, it can make the circulation of the upper and lower body more coordinated. However, because it involves too many meridians, more internal energy needs to be mobilized at the same time when it is opened. If you are not careful, it may lead to disorder of breath. Martial arts practitioners often have to build a solid foundation of internal energy before they can try it.

However, it is much easier for cultivators. True Qi has a higher energy quality than internal force. As long as the amount of True Qi is sufficient, it can run rampant in the belt meridian.

Tonight, Chen Han will consume another spirit stone, and the consumption rate is even faster than before, because the increase in his internal true energy allows him to absorb the spiritual energy of the spirit stone at a faster rate.

Once this spirit stone is used up, it should be able to open the belt meridian.

As he circulated his inner energy, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

After entering a meditative state, time seemed to pass unnoticed; the only thing known was that the spiritual energy of the spirit stones was completely depleted, and the absorption of spiritual energy suddenly stopped.

Seeing his true energy increase again, he did not hesitate and mobilized all his true energy to rush into his belt meridian. Sure enough, it was unstoppable, and the obstacles in it were crushed like fragile porcelain tiles.

Until his true energy completely broke through the belt meridian, circulated once, and surged into his dantian, at that moment his true energy was also tempered again, becoming of even higher quality.

He could also feel that his physical condition improved significantly the moment his belt meridian was opened.

Chen Han looked excited, opened his eyes, and looked at the box of toothpicks on the table.

In an instant, he used his sword control technique, and one toothpick flew out of the toothpick box, then a second, a third, a fourth...

A dozen or so...

Twenty.

It wasn't until he reached the twenty-first toothpick that he felt he had reached his limit, and the toothpick that had flown out and was floating above the table began to become unstable.

Seeing this, he waved his hand, and the toothpicks spun and flew around the table once before shooting quickly towards the surface, where they all stuck to it.

Chen Han then got up and went to the table to look at the toothpicks.

I tried pulling them out, and each one had actually penetrated quite a bit.

When all the toothpicks were pulled out, small holes were left on the table.

Rural tables are usually made of solid wood such as oak or pine. To a certain extent, if you hit the right spot, the human body is easier to penetrate than solid wood, such as the eyes, testicles, or throat.

So, to be precise, these toothpicks in his hands were no longer just toothpicks, but could become bloody weapons. After all, how many bullets does a gun only have?
He can carry many boxes of toothpicks, and can control 21 deadly toothpicks at a time. If he also has some spirit stones to restore his true energy…

that……

Fortunately, he was the head of a righteous family, and his integrity was impeccable; otherwise, he might have had to reconsider whether or not to eat beef.

After testing the sword control technique again, he took out the last spirit stone from the warehouse, activated the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method," and began cultivating once more.

Opening up two of the eight extraordinary meridians is not the limit of cultivation; it is merely the beginning of cultivation.

He stopped cultivating and put away the spirit stones just as the hour of Mao (5-7 AM) approached and the alarm clock rang.

He got up, looked at the data, and then his face lit up with joy.

Followers: 119.5 million.

Reputation: (112.5 / 50)
Because of the popularity of the consecration ceremony of the sacred ox and yesterday's opening ceremony, he gained more than 30 fans that night, and his reputation also increased by more than 30.

Most importantly, Chen's Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable event went viral yesterday, as expected, entering the Douyin hot topic list, and in a very high position, generating a lot of discussion.

Curious, he clicked on the topic, which contained videos of blessing activities posted by tourists.

Three videos received the most likes, two of which were posted by tourists.

"It's true, after Patriarch Chen shouted 'Heavenly Venerable bestows blessings,' a light drizzle began to fall. The rain felt very comfortable on my skin, as if my whole being felt much better."

A tourist made an insolent remark about Mr. Chen and was punished so quickly that he couldn't even walk properly!

These two videos have a touch of the magical, which is why they have attracted a lot of attention.

Another video was actually related to the sorcerer Mingdi.

It turns out that he recorded the scene of the rain falling on Chen's land during his live broadcast, and the rainbow that appeared under the sunlight was particularly captivating.

The key point is that the rainbow seemed to only cover the Chen family, and coincidentally, a consecration ceremony was taking place inside, which added to its mystique.

The combination of these magical elements has attracted a lot of attention and naturally generated a lot of buzz. It seems that his fans and reputation will increase significantly today.

This time, despite the huge buzz, no one came out to accuse anyone of promoting superstition, because the Linhe County Culture and Tourism Bureau released a video of the consecration ceremony, and even the city's Culture and Tourism Bureau released one.

It's clear that the county and city have already made arrangements, and they are both very optimistic about Chen's tourism.

Therefore, anyone with a brain can tell from this situation that it's an official promotion of tourism based on traditional cultural rituals.

In this situation, no one would be foolish enough to make themselves uncomfortable.

With over a million reputation points, Chen Han was reminded of the Cloud Barrier Cauldron. He didn't have enough money to upgrade it, but he had too much reputation points to spare, so he thought he could repair the Cloud Barrier Cauldron.

Immediately take the cauldron out of the warehouse.

Should I spend 3 reputation points to perform basic repairs on the currently damaged Cloud Barrier Cauldron?

For someone with over 3 million reputation points, 110 reputation points is a no-brainer; they would simply choose yes.

[You have spent 3 reputation points; the Cloud Cauldron is currently under repair...]

You can see that the broken cracks on the entire cauldron are beginning to be repaired, and the runes on it are starting to move around.

However, the repair of the Cloud Barrier Cauldron is obviously not something that can be completed immediately.

Therefore, he also put the Cloud Barrier Cauldron with its wandering runes directly into the warehouse, and then went downstairs.

Today, the Moon-Gazing Rabbit did not produce any Moon-Gazing Sand.

Undeterred, he stepped forward, opened the lid, looked at the white rabbit for a moment, and even flicked its head twice—all hints, indeed.

Given how much this little guy usually likes to show off, he must have figured it out. The fact that he's not making a sound now means he really can't hold it in.

He had no choice but to ride his auspicious horse to the special spiritual cave.

Today, besides Youfu, two old oxen also followed along, and they were quite proactive, clearly having learned about the benefits of the spiritual cave from Youfu.

The only difference was that Youcai jumped onto the back of an old ox and lay there comfortably, acting like a landlord's dog wanting to ride in a sedan chair.

When they arrived at the special spiritual cave, the pavilion had limited space. Uncle and Xiaoyu had already arrived and were sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, so the space was already full, and they couldn't force anyone else in.

They can only be placed outside the pavilion, where they can still enjoy the cleansing of spiritual energy.

Xiaoyu greeted her with a smile: "You're the last one here again."

Chen Han smiled and sat down cross-legged.

What's the point of comparing these two things!
...

As time passed, and although the sun gradually rose higher, tourists began to arrive at Chen's residence.

Wang Xinhe lived in a detached house with a hall and courtyard downstairs, while the three of them lived in the attic. This special feng shui house was very comfortable for them.

They studied it all night but still couldn't figure out the principle behind the feng shui effect, let alone understand how three sets of potted plants could create a feng shui pattern.

In the end, one can only marvel at how incredibly capable the Chen family is.

Grandpa Wang is old and doesn't sleep much, so he was already in the yard early in the morning. Now that his eyes are better, he can move around freely, and his mood is getting better and better.

We have to thank Mr. Chen for this.

If it weren't for Chen's blessing that cured his eyes, he would not only be blind now, but also suffer from swelling and pain in his eyes.

Seeing her son come out, she said to him, "It's been a long time since I did my morning exercise. Come for a walk with me."

"Okay!" Wang Xinhe nodded and followed his father outside. It had been a long time since he had taken a walk with his father.

The two hadn't walked far when they saw a flower bed surrounded by many tourists. Upon approaching, they overheard a surprised discussion:

"These flowers have actually bloomed! I don't think they were here yesterday?"

"No, otherwise I wouldn't have missed such a bright and beautiful flower bed, and these flowers smell so good!"

"Could it be related to yesterday's consecration ceremony? Wasn't the light rain supposed to be divine rain that caused them to open?"

"..."

The tourists were clearly very surprised, and they all started taking pictures with their phones.

Grandpa Wang and Wang Xinhe were also drawn forward and looked at the flowers in the flower bed.

“These flowers aren’t for this season.” After retiring, Mr. Wang also planted some flowers and plants in the yard of his villa and recognized the peonies and lilies.

So it's surprising that they're opening at this time; it's either a new variety, hormones, or human intervention.

The key point is that this flower, whether in terms of its texture, layers, or its captivating fragrance, is very unusual and not something that ordinary peonies or lilies can possess.

It can't really be related to the sweet dew that fell yesterday.

If that's the case, then surely more than just the flowers in this flowerbed are blooming?

Thinking about it, he hurriedly walked towards the sea of ​​flowers that the Chen family had arranged.

Wang Xinhe seemed to understand his father's meaning and followed him. Soon, they saw the sea of ​​flowers in the distance, and both father and son were immediately drawn to it.

"They're all really open!" Even though Grandpa Wang had guessed it, his face was still full of disbelief.
