I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 261 Three-Attribute Steel Needles! Sect Headquarters Upgraded!

(There was a mistake in the previous chapter; Chen Wen should be Chen Linlin!)

...

The reason Chen Dagou led Chen Dalong, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin to run up the mountain was because the three of them were not physically strong enough to learn the "Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg" as easily as they did.

Therefore, the only option is to use Body Tempering Pills and medicinal wine to first improve the physical fitness and leg strength of the three individuals.

Running uphill is a very intense full-body workout, which is perfect for absorbing the effects of the body-strengthening pills and medicinal wine.

It was only out of curiosity about the Chen family's true kung fu that he brought his three children to practice, which attracted so many tourists and even led to them being filmed and uploaded online.

No one knows what Chen wants these three children to do.

Similarly, Chen Han's video quickly gained popularity among many fans after being uploaded.

As a loyal follower of the Chen family's gossip, Huang Tao checked his phone during a break and saw that the head of the Chen family had updated his status.

The title, "Performing a Ceremony to Pass on Skills to Three Prodigies of the Chen Family," immediately caught his attention.

It's no secret that the Chen family possesses genuine kung fu skills.

That international fighting champion is still touring in China, continuing to challenge traditional Chinese martial arts.

But after those two well-known martial arts bloggers were easily defeated, no other martial arts blogger dared to accept the challenge, and now that world fighting champion is very arrogant.

The Chen family has three recognized white-shirted masters, and many people hope that the Chen family can curb the arrogance of this world fighting champion.

Many people have tagged the Chen family, but the Chen family has not responded.

But this still couldn't stop people's curiosity about Chen-style martial arts.

After all, the Chen family has verifiable combat records.

Therefore, upon seeing the words "transmission of skills ceremony," Huang Tao's curiosity reached its peak.

When you open the video, you see that it's in a large hall with statues of gods and memorial tablets. Seeing these, you can probably guess what kind of place it is.

""

Soon, they saw the junior sister of the Chen family head leading three young people in. One of them seemed to be one of the prodigies who appeared in the video of the Chen family head earlier.

The other two young men seemed to be quite young, probably in high school, and they hadn't been seen on camera before.

These three must be the pride of the Chen family.

The following ceremony also attracted Huang Tao's attention. Although he had never seen what a martial arts family with a lineage looked like before, the Chen family's ceremony for passing on their skills was definitely rigorous, and it was clear that there was an ancient and traditional ritual involved.

This is clearly a very different place. Those bloggers on the internet who promote the inheritance of martial arts are very casual about this. The difference in quality is immediately apparent.

Huang Tao immediately had a thought: 'The Chen family truly lives up to its reputation as a family with a rich history.'

Like Huang Tao, many people first watched the video of the Chen family head and learned the identities of the three prodigies. So when they saw the scene filmed by tourists, showing the Chen family master training the three young people, they knew that this was indeed teaching martial arts.

Many people used to be curious about how Chen-style martial arts were practiced. Now everyone knows that it involves running on mountain trails.

Because of Chen Han's video, more people are going up the mountain hoping to bump into Chen Dagou and his group, then film a video and post it on their WeChat Moments to get some goodies.

After all, there are so many people who care about martial arts, so this matter quickly became a hot topic and many popular videos appeared.

The initial veil of the Chen family's true martial arts is lifted; Chen family masters guide younger generations in their training.

The movies didn't lie; no wonder films about Shaolin and Wudang require actors to carry water and climb stairs beforehand.

"Didn't you notice? The stamina of these three prodigies is extraordinary; the video shows them running up the mountain for a very long time."

Those three prodigies must be experts in terms of stamina alone, right?

Various videos about Chen-style kung fu have gained popularity, and many people even regard Chen Dalong, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin as masters.

No one knew that it was because of the Body Tempering Pill (good quality) and Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine that greatly reduced physical exertion.

However, given this situation, the scene of Chen Dagou leading his three children to run on the mountain trails for exercise will likely soon become a unique sight in the Chen family.

If they seize the opportunity, they might be able to attract a lot of fans.

However, sometimes when everyone is having a good time discussing something, there are always some experts who come up with really tricky questions to annoy people.

An education expert named Zhao Heng posted a video: "Regarding the issue of the descendants of Professor Chen practicing martial arts, we need to look at this issue rationally. For example, those two children, judging from their age, should only be in high school. At this age, they should be studying at school. Today is not the weekend, but they are practicing martial arts. Is this good for education?"

"This will set a bad trend... Besides, is it appropriate to teach martial arts to children who are still in school? After all, they are all children. If a conflict arises, they might not know their own strength when they fight. Would other parents feel comfortable letting their children take classes with such students?"

The key point is that this expert posted a video and tagged people from the Chen family, including Chen Han. Now he finally understands why some experts are so disliked.

Like this expert now, who likes to analyze problems from meaningless and self-righteous angles, standing on moral high ground and educating people under the pretext of doing what's best for the majority.

It's no wonder, given that these experts can come up with bizarre suggestions such as "Young people who can't find a job should get married and have children first" and "People should use one-third of their savings to buy a house."

These suggestions completely ignore the life pressures and realities faced by young people, a classic case of "let them eat cake."

The key is that people aren't stupid. When they hear experts say things like "too high wages will make young people lose their ability to strive," they know those experts are rubbish.

Chen Han glanced at the comments, and a smile spread across his face:

"Shabi!"

"Hello, expert!"

"It's rare to come across such a stupid expert while browsing Douyin today."

"..."

Almost all of it was insults; clearly, the public has discerning eyes.

Chen Han couldn't be bothered with this kind of person.

Fortunately, the video went viral, and its popularity online increased, attracting him more attention and boosting his reputation.

After putting away his phone, he instead looked at the data on the sect's location displayed on the screen in his mind:
Level: 5 Sect Residence

Effects: Antique +2, Aesthetics +2, Durability +2...

...

升级要求：1、钱财：（2亿6591.32万/2亿）。2、声望：（593万/100万）。3、愿力：（9605/1万）
The three conditions for upgrading the sect's headquarters are that we already have enough money, and we've also had more time to prepare.

Before, I had only 440 million reputation left after refining the Spirit Jade Ball. However, I have been on the trending topics several times recently, which has brought me a lot of traffic and increased my followers.

In particular, his appearance wearing the Taoist robe of the founder, along with the popular attributes of +2 to transcendence, +2 to immortality, +2 to charm, and +2 to good looks, greatly increased his number of fans.

I now have 593 million reputation points. Even if I use 500 million reputation points to upgrade the Spirit Jade Ball now, and the video is trending again, I should be able to meet the 100 million reputation point upgrade requirement by tomorrow.

Moreover, the power of will is already 9605, and it is only 300 away from 10,000.

In other words, as he predicted, the clansmen would have enough vow power after completing their morning prayers with the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable tomorrow morning.

Thinking it over, Chen Han took out the Spirit Jade Ball and decided to spend 500 million to level up first.

Previously, the level 5 Spirit Jade Orb's protective shield was sufficient to defend against sniper rifle bullets, but upgrading it by one level will significantly enhance its defense.

[You spent 500 reputation points to upgrade your Spirit Jade Orb. Level 5 Spirit Jade Orb is being upgraded...]

Upgrading a level 5 Spirit Jade Ball to a level 6 Spirit Jade Ball obviously takes a lot of time. After spending 500 million to upgrade, he put the Spirit Jade Ball into his game inventory.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and a member of the Demon Extermination Hall pulled in a small cart: "Master, there's a package for you."

Now most members of the Chen family have returned to work for the family, and everyone has a habit of online shopping, so there are still a lot of Chen family express deliveries.

The Chen family also set up a special courier station.

The packages ordered by the clansmen were naturally placed there, and members of the Demon Exorcism Hall took turns on duty there every day to deliver the packages to each household.

"Master, where should we leave the package?" the member of the Demon Extermination Hall asked respectfully.

"Put it on the ground!" Chen Han ordered.

After the other party pulled the package to the ground and left with the cart, he went up and opened the package, which contained the 1 steel needles he had ordered.

Each box of steel needles was packed in a special little plastic box, densely packed together.

The thought of having to control the attack with sword control techniques on these steel needles is still quite shocking.

These are all weapons and ammunition.

Unlike toothpicks, steel needles are not easily worn out. After one attack, a toothpick is basically shattered and destroyed.

Steel needles are different.

So, these 10,000 steel needles alone are equivalent to an arsenal, right?

Next, he put all the steel needles into the game's inventory and then headed to the forge.

Perhaps we can get some unexpected surprises if we refine these steel needles in a furnace.

His uncle had prepared some wood for the forging furnace, so he could simply start a fire.

Before long, the Samadhi True Fire blazed in the refining furnace.

Chen Han took the steel needles out of the game's storage again. However, because the steel needles were in special packaging boxes, he couldn't put them in directly. Otherwise, if he burned them, the plastic packaging boxes would melt and stick to the needles.

He had to manually remove the steel needles from the packaging box, put them one by one into the furnace, and finally seal the furnace.

[The forging furnace is sealed, the Samadhi True Fire burns fiercely, and the forging furnace is currently refining a weapon...]

Perhaps because there were indeed a lot of steel needles being refined this time, the refining process took quite a long time, and he could only stay in front of the furnace to keep the flame burning.

It wasn't until nightfall that he received another notification that the forging furnace had completed its work. Without hesitation, Chen Han extinguished the Samadhi True Fire of the forging furnace and removed all the steel needles.

However, he didn't rush to put these steel needles into the game's storage. Instead, he left them outside and planned to collect a few to check in the game's storage first.

[Steel Needles: These are steel needles that have been refined in a furnace, but they have become extremely fragile because they cannot withstand the power of the Samadhi True Fire.]

Chen Han felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw the notes on the first steel needle.

This didn't even increase its attributes; it was ruined during the refining process?

I examined two more steel needles, and both turned out to be defective after being forged.

This is frustrating.

Fortunately, the fourth steel needle gave him a pleasant surprise.

[Steel Needle (Refined): This is a steel needle that has been refined in a furnace and has been well tempered, increasing its strength and sharpness by +1.]

How could the refining furnace be so useless? It ruined everything.

This is just one that has been successfully refined, and it even has two more attributes.

Steel needles are inherently more durable than toothpicks, and now with the added attributes of +1 to sturdiness and +1 to sharpness, their power will be greatly increased when used in basic sword control techniques.

Without hesitation, he directly used the basic sword control technique on the steel needle.

The next moment, the steel needle shot out and headed straight for a tree not far away that was as thick as a person's thigh.

He heard a soft, muffled impact, and then he could feel the steel needle pierce through the tree, spin, and fly back into his hand.

If it were a toothpick, it would definitely have shattered from that impact.

Chen Han walked up to the tree. There was a tear in the trunk, but the steel needle was small and the hole was not very big.

The result was quite satisfactory.

Because the human body is much easier to penetrate than this tree.

Chen Han put the silver needle into his game inventory and continued looking at the steel needles. Unexpectedly, the fifth one gave him another pleasant surprise.

[Steel Needle (Refined): This is a steel needle that has been refined in a forge and has been well tempered. Strength +1, Sharpness +1, Lightness +1.]

Honestly, seeing the attributes of this steel needle, I suddenly feel that steel needles with attributes like +1 sturdiness and +1 sharpness are no longer appealing.

Adding a lightness factor would make it even better.

This means that using the sword control technique can conserve more internal energy.

Chen Han was in a great mood and continued to examine each steel needle one by one. Although ten thousand steel needles was a lot, as the saying goes, "a workman must first have the right tools if he wants to do his work well."

With the weapons ready, the demon-slaying dungeons can be completed more effectively.

However, the next few steel needles were all scrapped after the crafting process was completed.

It wasn't until the 10th one that another item with the attributes of +1 to sturdiness and +1 to sharpness appeared.

time flies.

Chen Han didn't finish examining all 10,000 steel needles until late at night.

In the end, a total of more than 300 steel needles with two attributes: +1 to sturdiness and +1 to sharpness were obtained.

There are only a little over 100 steel needles with attributes of +1 sturdiness, +1 sharpness, and +1 lightness.

Only 400 out of 10,000 can be refined to have attributes, which is an extremely low ratio.

However, these quantities are sufficient.

The 300+ sturdy +1 and sharp +1 items can be kept on hand. After repackaging them, they can be stored in the game's inventory.

The more than 100 sturdy +1, sharp +1, and lightweight +1 sturdy shards can be used directly.

When he used the basic sword control technique, more than 100 steel needles with +1 sturdiness, +1 sharpness, and +1 lightness instantly floated up and hovered in front of him.

However, it's clear that these steel needles are not very easy to handle. Even with the "lightness +1" attribute bonus, they are still much heavier than toothpicks.

Chen Han took out two steel needle boxes. As he manipulated them, the three-attribute steel needles flew into the boxes one by one. He then put them away and placed them in his game inventory.

Controlling 100 strands is still a bit of a struggle right now, but once I open up another meridian, it should be a breeze.

After disposing of the other discarded steel needles and throwing them into the trash can, he went back to his own courtyard, took a bath, and then took out a low-level spirit stone to practice the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

Now that the Spirit Jade Ball has been upgraded and the weapon has been improved, all that's left is to increase our strength a bit more, so that we can complete the Qingluo Valley demon-slaying mission at any time.

The next day, Chen Han started cultivating and looked at the game prompts in his mind:
[Congratulations! Your Spirit Jade Orb has successfully upgraded to Level 6!]

【Spirit Jade Ball (Magic): This is a special defensive magic item in the game Shushan Swordsman. After casting it, it can trigger a protective shield for defense.

Current level: 6 (can be upgraded)
Upgrade Requirements: 1. 500 million reputation points. 2. Special refining metals!

Chen Han took out the Spirit Jade Ball. After the upgrade, the Spirit Jade Ball became darker in color, and the runes on it became denser.

To his surprise, upgrading a level 6 spirit jade ball no longer requires just reputation; while the reputation requirement is still 500 million, it also requires special refining metals.

Thinking it over, he made a decision and rode Youfu to the special spiritual cave to begin his cultivation.

After he had completely refined the spiritual energy he had absorbed, his junior sister and uncle had already returned to the Chen family. He got up, sat on Youfu's back, and looked at the row of game prompts that appeared in his mind:
Congratulations! Your wish power has increased by 1 point!

……

Congratulations! Your wish power has increased by 1 point!

This is the power of the prayers offered by the clansmen during their morning prayers, plus the power of the prayers offered during yesterday's evening prayers; now the request for 10,000 power of prayers has been fulfilled.

I checked the requirements for upgrading the sect's headquarters:
Reputation (99.7/100!)

Yesterday, it cost me 500 million reputation points to refine the spirit jade ball. I'm a little short of 100 million reputation points now, but I should be able to get it by this morning.

There's no rush.

He had barely arrived at the Chen family's gate on his ox when he saw Uncle Big Dog leading Chen Dalong, Chen Linlin, and Chen Dao running out of the gate. Clearly, the three of them had taken Body Tempering Pills (Good Grade) and Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine and were now working on their physical fitness and leg strength.

There were even some tourists following behind them, taking pictures with their phones.

It's obvious that the reason why Uncle Big Dog led the three of them to run on the mountain trail yesterday is because of this. Judging from the scene, Uncle Big Dog and the three of them will continue to run on the mountain trail, which will definitely be a scenic spot. More tourists will be waiting to watch it in the future.

Just like many tourists now make sure to go to the top of the mountain to check in at the spiritual spring, they also enjoy the scenic route of the Chen family's prodigy climbing the mountain, which is killing two birds with one stone.

"Xiao Han".

"Master of the house."

"Brother Han."

When Chen Dagou and the other three saw Chen Han, they all greeted him together.

Chen Han responded and, after Chen Dagou and his men left, he also entered the Chen family's residence. Soon after, he went to his uncle's kitchen as usual to prepare Lei Zhu Ling Rat meat for medicinal cuisine.

The medicinal meal had just been prepared when my junior sister rushed in with some medicinal herbs, clearly there to prepare the Body Tempering Pill.
"Senior brother, I've gathered medicinal herbs from the spirit field to refine pills," Xiaoyu said with a smile as she placed the herbs on the spirit fire stove.

"Okay!" Chen Han nodded and continued processing the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat meat, then started a fire to stew it.

Afterwards, he also watched his junior sister refine pills. He had to admit that his junior sister had practiced pill refining a lot, and now her pill refining skills were much more proficient than his.

When my junior sister finished refining all the medicinal herbs into Body Tempering Pills, she also needed to add water to the medicinal cuisine.

Just as Chen Han was adding water to the medicinal food, the game notification suddenly reappeared, indicating that the sect's headquarters had been upgraded.

[Congratulations! The requirements for upgrading your sect's headquarters have been met. Your sect's headquarters has been upgraded...]

[Congratulations! Your sect's headquarters has been successfully upgraded. You have received the following rewards: 1. Special Taoist site effect: Sincerity brings blessings. 2. Feng Shui formation diagram: Gentle breeze. 3. Dungeon portal modification diagram!]

[The special effects of the sect's headquarters are currently being modified...]

[Topographical analysis of the sect's headquarters' catchment area is underway; feng shui formation diagram is being generated...]

[The blueprint for the sect base dungeon portal is being generated...]

Chen Han looked at the notification that the sect's headquarters had been upgraded in surprise.

This time there are actually three rewards.

This isn't the first time that special Taoist practices have shown such effects, but what exactly is this "sincerity brings blessings"?
Isn't it true that sincerity brings results?

There is also the feng shui formation diagram, which is a follow-up to the discussion of feng shui.

So, you give rewards based on whether the job matches your major?
Moreover, the third reward is a perfect match for my major.

He had been wondering how to get there to do the demon-slaying dungeon, but the dungeon portal was given to him directly.

In the game "Shushan Swordsman," the dungeon portal is specifically for accessing game dungeons and can only be used when accepting a dungeon request.

That means you can enter the instance directly through the instance portal, and after completing the quest, you can also return to town directly through the instance portal.

So, with this thing, why worry about the old Taoist priest and him being exposed as having the same identity?

He first appeared in front of everyone, then teleported directly there. In just a few minutes, the old Taoist priest was on the other side carrying out a demon-slaying dungeon mission and wreaking havoc.

At that time, no one would think that the old Taoist priest and he were the same person.

After all, it's impossible for him to go from the Chen family to the other side in just a few minutes; even a god wouldn't be that powerful.

At that time, when people found out, their first thought should have been, "How did this person manage to kill his way to that place?"
He began to look forward to the Qingluo Valley demon-slaying dungeon.
