I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 262 It can prolong life, isn't that amazing?
Seeing that the three rewards were either under modification or being generated, Chen Han knew that these rewards wouldn't be completed in a short time.

He then checked the sect's location information:
Level: 6 Sect Residence

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

...

升级要求：1、钱财：（6591.32万/？？？？）。2、声望：（124/？？？）。3、愿力：（56/？？？？）

The upgrade requirements are the same as before, still in a question mark state. Obviously, as before, they will only be displayed after the transformation is completed or the two rewards are generated.

Therefore, this cannot be rushed; we can only wait.

Chen Han walked outside and looked up at the sky. The Chen family was once again enveloped in a white light shield, and there were two layers of light shields.

One of the layers enveloped the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable's main hall, its light intense and extremely bright.

If he guessed correctly, this should be a modification of the Taoist special effect 'Sincerity Brings Blessings'.

Sincerity is clearly related to praying to the gods, so it is reasonable to renovate the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable Hall.

Another layer of white light was fainter, not only enveloping the Chen family but also covering an unusually large area this time, including the Chen family, the back mountain, and obviously the rapeseed fields.

Chen's + Merit Industry Scope.

Since Shangyuan Village only contributed 30% of the shares and it was not a meritorious enterprise, it was not included in the scope.

The rapeseed fields are much larger, and in the distance, the faint white veil makes them too far to see clearly in the sunlight.

This should be the result of scanning the terrain related to the Chen family and generating the feng shui formation map of "Gentle Breeze".

After observing for a while and finding nothing amiss, Chen Han began to inspect the Chen family's property.

Everything was normal at Chen's place. He left Chen's place and wandered around. He noticed that the rapeseed flower field was quite lively, with many people watching.

He went over to check the situation and overheard some tourists talking:

"Those people seem to be led by an agricultural professor from Qingmin University, who specializes in studying these rapeseed flowers."

"These rapeseed flowers are truly incredible. It was only recently revealed that they were planted, and now they've grown so tall."

"Yes, it's unbelievable. It seems that the rumor that the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable appeared in the Chen family's dream and that's why the Chen family planted rapeseed flowers is true."

"..."

As Chen Han listened to the tourists' conversation, he also looked at some people in the rapeseed field. They were cutting rapeseed leaves and carefully putting them into containers.

People from the county were also accompanying them.

These people were naturally Bao Jing and his students.

After arriving here, he has been conducting experiments in the laboratory arranged by Linhe County.

As his experiments progressed, he even sought help from universities, which sent him a lot of equipment.

He did gain something from this; while studying that special substance, he discovered that it contained a special element that was highly reactive and had a strong ability to split...

Through various analyses, it appears that this element is what allows these rapeseed flowers to grow rapidly.

To confirm, he came today to collect new experimental leaves, only to find that the rapeseed flowers had already grown quite tall.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least 20 days for rapeseed flowers to grow from planting to flowering. Now, the growth rate of these rapeseed flowers is probably only 10 days.

At the latest, within 15 days, all of Chen's 10,000 mu of rapeseed flowers will be in full bloom.

This speed is absolutely astonishing, and it proves once again that the element is definitely the reason why the rapeseed flowers are growing so fast.

The key is that the special substance is composed of not only this one element, but also other elements.

If this one element can have such an effect, what about other elements?

Using the latest instruments, they clearly discovered that these elements, once secreted, can quickly combine with rapeseed cells and modify the rapeseed's cellular genes.

It's incredible, but they don't yet know what changes this will bring.

This special substance is definitely not found in any known rapeseed species; it seems to have appeared out of thin air.

Thinking that the Chen family had been blessed by the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, which allowed them to defy the seasons and natural laws by planting rapeseed flowers, they named this special substance: Divine Gift.

Bao Jing and his team cut some specimens and immediately returned to Linhe County, where they took the laboratory and their students to conduct tests.

He detected the special substance 'divine gift' again and extracted the element that affected the growth rate of rapeseed flowers from it.

However, when it comes to further analysis of this element, there is no way to do so due to instrument limitations.

However, this instrument is already the most advanced one sent by Qingmin University. Even if we go back to the Qingmin University laboratory, we will not be able to analyze it in any further depth.

“Teacher, there’s no way to continue.” One student frowned, then suggested, “Try going back to the university.”

"The university probably can't do anything about it either." Bao Jing knew he had definitely discovered something extraordinary.

In all agricultural scientific research, the emergence of groundbreaking technologies is often accompanied by the discovery of special substances.

This time, he felt that the special substance he had discovered was absolutely remarkable, and if he could figure it out, it would probably shock the agricultural research community.

“Go to the capital to borrow equipment.” Bao Jing made the decision without hesitation, and then used a special petri dish to decompose and preserve that special element.

After preserving more than a dozen petri dishes and placing them in a special scientific research preservation box, I hurriedly booked plane tickets and took my students to Beijing.

When local research encounters equipment and instrument problems, researchers can go to Beijing to borrow equipment and instruments. This is a benefit provided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to encourage local scientific research.

Of course, borrowing depends on the situation, and often you need to wait in line.

Agriculture is the most relaxed field; if you have connections, you can use the equipment and instruments as soon as you arrive.

Fortunately, Bao Jing had connections; his teacher was an academician in this field. After making arrangements, he arrived at the agricultural research department early the next morning and was able to use the instruments.

Therefore, having a teacher to pass on knowledge, especially a skilled teacher, can be a great help at times.

Just like many companies that require technical skills, why do many companies hire young people who have just graduated and give them high positions?

Because these young people have connections, they can ask their seniors and teachers for help, people that companies might not be able to hire.

However, when Bao Jing and his students were about to start analyzing the elements that had been brought about, they were suddenly dumbfounded.

"Teacher, something's not right," a student said, unable to believe it.

"Did you take the wrong one?" another student asked instinctively.

Bao Jing was also filled with disbelief. When he arrived in the capital, all the elements he had specially separated and preserved had disappeared.

He was certain he couldn't have taken the wrong one, and carefully checked it twice before setting off.

Moreover, they had previously observed this element, so it couldn't have disappeared so quickly. The element that was previously stripped was still perfectly preserved in the laboratory.

Now, it seems as if everything he brought has vanished into thin air; in other words, they brought nothing but air with them this time.

But what is going on here?

...

Chen family.

After preparing the medicinal diet early in the morning, Chen Han also took out his phone and watched some videos.

Just as he had guessed, videos of tourists taking Uncle Big Dog, Chen Dalong, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin on mountain trails to train their physical fitness and leg strength went viral online.

Tourists who come up the mountain to visit the Lingquan spring will often film their group video.

He also came across videos of Chen Dalong, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin training their leg strength through stance exercises in private.

This must have been done by my junior sister.

She manages all the short video accounts that people in her clan use. They're popular, so she'll definitely seize the opportunity to make things happen in multiple areas.

Like Chen Linlin, whose account was set up by her junior sister, she gained nearly 10 followers in a short period of time, more than Chen Dalong has done in so long.

Chen Dao is not worth mentioning; he only has a little over 3 now.

The main issue is that he's a man, and currently there are only videos of him running on mountain trails.

On the other hand, Chen Linlin, a girl, is quite popular for her promotion in this regard.

While scrolling through videos, he suddenly received an unexpected call from reporter Wu from the provincial new urban news: "Master Chen, I have arrived at the Chen family and would like to pay you a visit. When are you available?"

Chen Han did not refuse the offer to become a distributor of Leizhu Lingcha tea: "We have it now. Reporter Wu can come to my yard."

This reporter, Wu, is likely here to conduct another interview, which may be related to Chen Dao and Chen Linlin.

After all, the Chen family's prodigy has become a scenic spot, attracting tourists to take photos and videos, and even getting views for uploaded videos.

After meeting this reporter Wu and having a conversation, it became clear that he had indeed come for an interview, but not to interview Chen Dao and Chen Linlin, the Chen family's prodigies, but to interview Youcai, that dog.

Wu Ying continued, "Master Chen, many places have now lifted the ban on keeping rural dogs, but our Qingmin Province has not taken any action. Therefore, some people and I are planning to do something for them."

"Of course, I'm not a dog lover. I just think this will generate a lot of buzz. Most importantly, I believe that the Chinese rural dog is our own, a symbol of loyalty, honesty, and good-naturedness, and also a source of confidence in our national heritage."

"So why are so many foreign dog breeds not banned now, but Chinese rural dogs are banned? In fact, there have been large-scale culling and euthanasia of rural dogs in the past because of the ban."

“I think this shouldn’t be happening, so I want to do a special feature and interview Youcai, since no Chinese rural dog is smarter than it.”

Chen Han was somewhat bewildered by Wu Ying's words.

Although everyone calls them "mongrels" all the time, he doesn't know that there's a ban on keeping them.

What kind of idiot did this stupid thing?
You can insult a mongrel among your own people, but outside, it's a noble Chinese rural dog. You can insult it among your own people, but we're not asking you to kill it.

After all, this is the 'yellow dog and white old man' who has been with us for seven thousand years. Now it is being blocked at the door by its own door, while some VIP or teddy bear is being welcomed into the house?
Without hesitation, Chen Han took out the special dog tooth whistle and started blowing it.

When Wu Ying saw this action, she knew that the Chen family head was calling the dogs, which she had seen during her previous interview.

She just couldn't understand how the Chen family head could summon those dogs by blowing his whistle from such a great distance.

Sure enough, a moment later, the sound of dogs barking could be heard outside.

Wu Ying looked outside and saw that the dogs were standing neatly outside the yard, while only Youcai walked in.

She immediately took out her phone and snapped a picture of the scene.

This time, Youcai has grown significantly larger than before and looks much more imposing.

As soon as Youcai entered the yard, he barked at Chen Han: "Woof woof woof woof!" Chen Han pointed directly at Wu Ying and said: "Reporter Wu wants to interview you because many places don't allow you to keep your companion. She wants to help your companion. From now on, just cooperate with her and do whatever she tells you to do."

Wu Ying's video was filmed on a person and a dog. Hearing the Chen family head's instructions, she really doubted whether the dog could understand.

To her surprise, after hearing what the Chen family head said, Youcai actually came straight to her and barked at her, "Woof woof woof."

He couldn't understand what the dog was barking, but it was probably asking her what to do.

Wu Ying subconsciously asked Chen Han, "Patriarch Chen, can it understand what you're saying?"

Chen Han smiled and made up a story: "The Chinese rural dog is a breed that our ancestors carefully selected over thousands of years. Don't look at any pet dog intelligence rankings. Those are made by people who sell pet dogs. They don't know anything about them."

"Older dog owners know just how clever local dogs are. If their owner hits them, they'll pretend to be lame. If their owner feeds them, they'll only eat food that's fallen on the ground. If their owner uses them, they can help guard the house. They can eat vegetables and sweet potatoes, they'll eat anything and never be picky."

"Those pet dogs are all bred through inbreeding. Behind their sweet appearance lies a high rate of disease and a high mortality rate. The key is that they cannot produce dog kings."

"Only local dogs can produce a king of dogs. The more you train them, the smarter they become. Just like Youcai, I train it every day, and it can not only understand what I say, but also what you say."

"If Reporter Wu doesn't believe it, he can try it."

Wu Ying was very surprised to hear this. If the Chen family head hadn't said it, she wouldn't have known that the mongrel was so smart. The key point is that the Chen family head's mongrel could really understand what she was saying.
She tried saying to it, "Youcai, are you at work now? Can you show me how you usually get to work?"

This is also one of the ways she wants to prove the excellence of the Chinese rural dog.

After all, Chen's pack of local dogs is known for being able to patrol and go to work on their own, which is something that other pet dogs simply cannot do.

Youcai clearly understood what she was saying, and walked straight out of the yard, not forgetting to turn back and call out to her.

Wu Ying was genuinely surprised; it really understood.

Seemingly annoyed by her dawdling, Youcai turned back and barked at it twice.

Wu Ying then caught up, and You Cai, seeing this, led the dogs into action.

Next, she followed these dogs on patrol around the Chen family compound, and the intelligence of the Chen family head's mongrel dog really exceeded her expectations.

A tourist asked if he could take a picture with the dog, and it barked twice and led the other dogs to line up so the tourist could take a picture.

Some tourists didn't even know where the flower field was, but the dog seemed to understand, ran up to them, barked at them, and led them to the flower field sign.

Can you believe this?

The tourists being led around gasped in surprise.

Even outside the Chen family's gate, when tourists were arguing, it directly led its dogs to block the middle, barking at both sides, clearly trying to mediate.

Seriously, based on these factors alone, who dares to say that the Chinese Rural Dog wouldn't make the list of the smartest pet dogs?
How many dogs can do these things?
Just because they eat simple food and don't have many fussy habits, do they deserve to be called "country dogs"? Do they deserve to be banned from being kept as pets?
Wu Ying quickly followed the pack of dogs to the back mountain, which was clearly also within their patrol area.

To her surprise, the dogs led her into a forest.

The scenery here is nice, and there's a spacious open area with swings and other similar items.

There were three people playing inside, seemingly waiting for the dogs.

Wu Ying was surprised; these three people seemed to be the same ones who played with the abstract internet celebrity horn with the Chen family head.

The three men who honked their horns were also somewhat surprised. He was also recording a video, and when he saw the pack of dogs coming, he pointed the camera at them, only to find that there was a woman following behind, also recording a video.

Then both sides pointed their videos at each other.

"Woof woof woof!" The dog's barking broke the strange atmosphere; it was barking at the horn, as if urging it on.

Mingdi then realized, "Brother Dog Demon King, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

As he spoke, he stretched out his fist toward the dog.

To Wu Ying's surprise, the Chen family head's dog actually stretched out its paw and touched the horn, as if they were brothers exchanging punches.

She suddenly realized something: this dog was so smart it could even play abstract games with people?

OMG!

This dog must be possessed by a spirit!

The dog retracted its paws but barked at the horn.

The whistle signaled, and he immediately waved. Xu Bin and Zhu Xueqin came out carrying two buckets, which were filled with plump braised chicken legs.

This was something he discovered by accident; he realized he could bribe these dogs with food. After bribing them for three consecutive days, he decided to film a video today.

With the groundwork laid in the previous three days, the dog cooperated perfectly today.

When the two were sharing the chicken leg, the dog sniffed it over to make sure there was nothing wrong before barking at the other dogs.

In no time, all the dogs began to feast.

Mingdi recorded on his phone, not forgetting to say his lines: "Brother Dog Demon King, you've suffered. Don't worry, I will definitely destroy the Chen family as soon as possible and rescue you."

"..." Wu Ying didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only record the horn-sounding performance with her phone.

...

Chen Han was unaware of all this. All he did all day was cultivate with low-level spirit stones, trying to open one of his Ren and Du meridians as soon as possible.

Now that the sect's headquarters has been upgraded and there are things like dungeon teleportation arrays, demon-slaying quests can be done anytime.

Therefore, the key now is to further enhance our strength.

A day has passed, and the true energy in his body has become much stagnant. He is still far from being able to open up the Ren and Du meridians.

The next morning, Chen Han ended his rest to the sound of his alarm. After washing up, he used the "Insect Control Technique" to feed the blood to several larvae.

The crimson runes on the larvae became increasingly solid, as if they were about to materialize.

I took out my phone and checked, and found that he had been tagged a lot.

"Master Chen, your dog has a rebellious streak!"

“Patriarch Chen, your dog has been secretly meeting with a demonic cultivator.”

"..."

These comments surprised him. When he clicked on them, he found that they were videos posted by the provincial new urban news, and they were videos of reporter Wu's interview yesterday.

"Our ancestors' meticulous selection over thousands of years: Let us introduce you to our yellow dog and white elder!"

This video garnered over a million likes overnight.

The level of popularity is alarmingly high.

Reporter Wu has a good eye for capturing trending topics.

He also clicked on the video to watch it. It started with reporter Wu and him talking in the yard about the country dog, followed by a series of behaviors of the dog.

As for the dog leading people, cooperating with taking photos, and mediating fights, none of these are surprising to him.

After all, the dog was truly a spirit, a real monster.

He did take a look at the comments section, and sure enough, many people were praising and commenting on the dog's intelligence, and their protective instincts towards rural dogs were being aroused.

"Who remembers those 18 stray dogs that sacrificed their lives to defend their country?"

"Who understands Su Shi's 'Left hand holding a yellow dog, right hand holding a falcon'? It's been thousands of years."

"Banning the keeping of rural dogs? What idiot came up with that? Aren't they afraid their ancestors will crawl out and come after them?"

"..."

Chen Han understood these comments; after all, he also found it unbelievable that they were banning the keeping of rural dogs.

However, some comments still puzzled him:
"Damn, this reporter stumbled upon the secret meeting between the demonic cultivator and the dog demon king. Will he be killed to silence him?"

"It feels like the reporter has already been buried underground, and the person who posted the video was probably honking their horn!"

"I thought it was an official video, but it suddenly turned into abstract news."

He didn't know the reason until he finished watching the video, especially when he saw Youcai find Mingdi, exchange fists with him, and then Mingdi and his men give chicken legs to the dogs.

It's obvious that this dog has learned to bribe others by honking its horn.

This guy is pretty smart. It just so happens that dogs can become sentient and accept bribes. I bet this will bring a lot of attention to the other party again.

What a blessing.

Indeed, the end of this news video is practically an abstract cultivation video.

Especially the line from the horn: "Brother Dog Demon King, you've suffered! I will destroy the Chen family and rescue you."

Their acting skills are actually quite good.

Admittedly, in the abstract video, the person honking the horn was more into the role than he was. After watching the video, he also planned to go to the special spiritual cave.

Just then, a game notification appeared:
[Congratulations! The special Taoist site effect 'Sincerity Brings Blessings' has been successfully modified!]

Upon receiving this news, Chen Han's face lit up with joy, and he looked at the "Sincerity Brings Fortune" note in the sect's headquarters.

Level: 6 Sect Residence

...

Special effects of Taoist sites:

Sincerity brings blessings: As the sect's headquarters were upgraded, more and more righteous people came to worship the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable. The flourishing incense made the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable very satisfied, and he bestowed a special blessing.

Anyone who sincerely offers incense and makes vows at the Hall of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable will receive blessings from the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, which can eliminate negative physical conditions. Long-term blessings can lead to good health and longevity!
"Holy crap..." Chen Han finally understood what "sincerity brings happiness" meant.

Love is a blessing.

The key is that this rule has been blessed by the ox, which means that if the Heavenly Venerable Who Subdues Demons is very powerful, it can be embodied among devout believers.

One can imagine that a devout person, after being blessed, will become even more devout.

What is most important to people today? Money might be an option, but good health and longevity are equally important.

Especially the ability to prolong life, which is something that many wealthy people would beg for but cannot obtain, and even the King of Hell would have to wait before he can do anything.

What will happen if everyone finds out that Chen's followers are all healthy and live long lives?
This reward is absolutely incredible!
