I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 301 Holy crap! The Chen family head is wearing a purple robe?
As the fallen leaves floated up one by one, not only did Master Xuan curse, but the other Taoist priests also widened their eyes.

It was as if a special force was pulling these leaves.

Soon, they saw even smaller pebbles being pulled up and floating.

Then, something even more shocking happened.

These floating leaves and pebbles began to spin, seemingly spiraling around the building where the Chen family patriarch lived.

Even though they were highly respected and knowledgeable Taoist masters, they had never seen such a scene before.

However, this scene came and went quickly, and in a moment they all fell back to the ground.

Silence returned to the surroundings, with only the fallen leaves still arranged in a very orderly pattern, proving what had just happened.

Zhang Tianshi, Li Daoren, and the others exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes, and a thought flashed through their minds.

"Perhaps the legend of that old Taoist priest from the Chen family is true," Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but murmur.

This prompted the other Taoist priests to nod in agreement.

Rumor has it that the old Taoist priest may be over 200 years old.

At such an age, it is difficult for ordinary people to achieve this; perhaps there is a special method.

For example: Qi cultivation!
Qi has always been a traditional and orthodox concept in Taoism, and many people who enter Taoism are taught how to cultivate Qi.

However, no one in the Taoist sect has ever been able to absorb or sense the legendary Qi.

The understanding of Qi cultivation has become more of a spiritual experience.

Now they seem to have suddenly realized that the legend might be true.

In an instant, all the Taoist priests turned to look at Zhang Tianshi.

Because the new interpretation of "drawing Qi into the body" in the encyclopedia is the Dragon-Tiger lineage.

The encyclopedia entry about "visualizing qi entering from the crown of one's head, flowing in and out with each breath; inhaling, the primordial qi of heaven and earth enters from the crown of the head, and exhaling, the turbid qi is expelled from the soles of the feet" was also passed down by people of the Dragon-Tiger lineage.

Screw it, slap the stale air out from the soles of your feet.

The very act of refining Qi is something that can cause leaves to float and rotate—it's all so mysterious and profound.

It misled people, and it also misled the Taoist community for over a hundred years.

Zhang Tianshi felt so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into a hole: "Fellow Daoists, that person's lineage is no longer here. They went to that island. They have betrayed everyone and the people. What they say shouldn't be taken seriously."

The other Taoist priests really wanted to roll their eyes at him. They should just assume that what that lineage said back then was not to be taken seriously. What was the deal with uploading it to the encyclopedia?
Inside the building.

Chen Han opened his eyes, his face showing excitement.

Finally a breakthrough.

This time, not only was his true qi amplified, but his eight extraordinary meridians were also expanded, greatly improving the quality of his true qi and significantly increasing his strength.

When the eight extraordinary meridians are unblocked and the spiritual meridians are opened, true qi enters the spiritual meridians, which means that one has truly entered the path of immortal cultivation.

The next step is to break through the condensation stage and acquire a flying sword, which will allow you to meet the basic requirements for flying on a sword and become a true sword immortal.

However, this process also requires opening the meridians and connecting the upper, middle, and lower dantian to form a complete circulation, so as to refine the quality of true qi to the extreme.

Before opening the meridians, the dantian cultivated is the lower dantian, which is recognized as the residence of essence and the source of qi.

The middle dantian is the hub of qi, while the upper dantian is the abode of spirit, both of which are crucial for cultivation after the condensation stage.

The next step is to connect the upper, middle, and lower dantian through the spiritual meridians, allowing them to circulate throughout the body.

Chen Han took out a low-level spirit stone and started circulating his cultivation technique again.

However, this time it is no longer the "Basic Qi Cultivation Method of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture", but the "Advanced Qi Cultivation Method of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture".

Once the eight extraordinary meridians are opened and cultivation is successful, one can begin to cultivate.

This time, he frowned slightly because he clearly found that the spiritual energy contained in the primary spirit stones was not good enough for his current cultivation.

To improve the quality of true qi, one must absorb the spiritual energy from spirit stones. If the quality of spiritual energy remains unchanged, then even more spiritual energy will be consumed.

Because of the increase in strength, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is faster, and now the spiritual energy provided by a primary spirit stone cannot last long.

Then, he replaced the medium-grade spirit stone from the warehouse and started cultivating again.

Intermediate-grade spirit stones contain higher quality and richer spiritual energy.

This time, the situation is significantly better.

However, as strength and the quality of true energy improve, the time a mid-grade spirit stone can last is now no different from that of a low-grade spirit stone before.

Chen Han also noticed the Taoist priests outside the building, so he experimented with the advanced Qi cultivation method and got up from his cross-legged position.

Looking around the room, it was still a bit messy. Some small items had probably fallen to the ground due to the pull from his previous breakthrough.

With a wave of his hand, he sent the small objects flying up and landing precisely back in their original positions.

With the improvement in strength, the sword control technique also became more adept.

With this upgrade, wielding a sword that isn't too heavy shouldn't be a problem. After that, with each connection between the upper and middle dantian, my strength will increase even further.

When Chen Han stepped outside, all the Taoist priests, including Zhang Tianshi, Li Daoren, and Xuanshi Daoren, turned to look at him with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

Therefore, they waited for this head of the Chen family to come out.

"Good morning, fellow Taoist priests!" Chen Han greeted them with a smile and performed a traditional Chinese greeting.

The Taoist priests all returned the greeting.

Master Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Patriarch Chen, just now when the other Daoists and I passed by your residence, we noticed that the fallen leaves were being pulled and floated, which was quite a sight. Is this you practicing Qi cultivation?"

"Is that so?" Chen Han feigned ignorance, wearing a broad smile: "Fellow Daoists, in this new era, we must believe in science."

Believe in science?

Having witnessed what just happened, how can they still believe in science?

These Taoist priests began to harbor some resentment towards that Taoist priest Chen.

Because "believe in science" was the other person's catchphrase, it spread online and became an internet meme.

If it weren't for that, how could this Chen family head have learned it and even surpassed his master in its application?

Chen Han smiled and, as he walked down, said, "Fellow Daoists, each sect has its own destiny, which cannot be forced. It would be better to study Feng Shui more."

He would never teach the cultivation method to outsiders. This was also a reminder, after all, he could study feng shui and make some progress with the two feng shui books he wrote using the feng shui spirit stone.

Perhaps these Taoist priests can actually use this to develop their own insights and become Feng Shui masters.

However, his words led the Taoist priests to fill in their own interpretations.

"Does Patriarch Chen mean that the different sects have different methods of cultivating Qi, and that we should go back and look at our own sect's methods of cultivating Qi?" a Taoist priest said subconsciously.

Another Taoist priest chimed in, "That should be the case. After all, we worship different gods in different places and practice different scriptures. It is said that refining Qi requires the assistance of scriptures, so the supernatural powers of the patriarchs of each school are different."

These words were agreed upon by Zhang Tianshi, Li Daoren, and Xuan Shi Daoren. They really needed to go back and study the Qi Refining Classics carefully, and delve into more of the scriptures.

After all, the Chen family head has already given such clear instructions, which is already a great act of righteousness.

In ancient times, sectarianism was very important, and even if they belonged to the same Taoist sect, such matters would not be easily spread outside.

Chen Han was unaware of the Taoist priests' own interpretations; otherwise, he would have shaken his head and sighed heavily.

What is this all about?
As an internal area of ​​Wudang, the Five Dragons Palace has the purest Taoist cultivation atmosphere. As soon as Chen Han came out of the guest room area, he heard the sound of chanting.

These are the Taoist priests of Wudang Mountain performing their morning prayers.

The chanting of sutras was accompanied by wisps of incense smoke rising from the walls.

Because so many Taoist priests from the Taoist community attended this Feng Shui exchange meeting, almost all of them were dressed in purple robes, making it a grand event for the Taoist community.

Therefore, Wudang had already arranged for people to prepare breakfast and assigned several Taoist priests to guide the process.

The breakfast at Wudang is quite good; it's light and not greasy, yet not boring.

After breakfast, Xiao Mi's video call came through. The other person was still at the Kundao Academy, watering flowers with a female Taoist priest.

The female Taoist priests of Wudang were quite easygoing. When Xiao Mi pointed the video camera at them, they even waved to the camera.

After a short video call, the association's president, Master Li, and Master Qingwei arrived; they had important business to attend to today.

One step involved Master Li, representing the association, bestowing upon him a register, purple robes, and legal decrees, as well as a certificate for the association's vice president. This process wasn't straightforward; a grand transmission ceremony was held before the certificate was finally conferred, with the participation of other Taoist priests, including those responsible for bestowing the title and transmitting the initiation.

Of course, the most important thing is the witnessing monks, all of whom were witnessed and participated in by the purple-robed Taoist priest (vice president of the association).

If this were the Chen family, they might not even be able to gather enough people for this transmission ceremony.

Because none of the Chen family members are registered or recorded.

Logically speaking, a Taoist family like the Chen family, which has lost its roots and is no longer registered, is almost dispensable.

Unfortunately, the Chen family's reputation is too great, and the feng shui exchange meeting that is about to take place cannot be held without the head of the Chen family.

To put it bluntly, the Chen family can do without the association, but it seems the association can't do without the Chen family now.

Therefore, the purpose of bestowing these titles upon the Chen family was not in the number of titles, but in the recognition of their reputation.

Since that's the case, we'll be flexible with some things, and the necessary manpower will be provided by the Taoist priests who come to participate in the feng shui exchange.

This resulted in a ceremony for Chen Han that was far more grand and extravagant than any of the previous bestowals by the purple-robed Taoist priests.

After all, it was a purple robe that was bestowed. In the past, when Taoist priests invited people to wear purple robes, it was only to observe the ceremony. None of the people in his family who participated had the same level of purple robes. After all, he was the one who was bestowed the purple robe. Even if someone else had a purple robe, it wouldn't be his turn to bestow it.

Looking at it now, the one who participated in the Chen family headship ceremony and served as the master and ordainer was the Taoist priest in purple robes.

The sutra masters who followed were renowned Taoist masters such as Master Xuan and Master Chen.

This could easily be interpreted as a ceremony by the Taoist sect to elect a Taoist master.

However, after Chen Han received the register, purple robe, decree, and certificate of vice president of the association, the ceremony came to an end, and the Taoist priests finished chanting the scriptures.

But Chen Han looked at the game prompt that appeared in his mind in surprise.

[Congratulations on obtaining your exclusive family register. You can register family members and bestow titles upon them, clearly defining their legitimate lineage. By reporting to the Heavenly Venerable and offering incense at the altar, you can activate the register. Registering 10 legitimate family members will grant you a Family Gift Pack x1.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the purple robe, a symbol of a high-ranking mage, signifying the attainment of ordination abilities. Blessed by the Heavenly Venerable, incense offerings, and the purple robe's consecration, it can be used in conjunction with decrees, granting the attributes: Solemnity +2, Majesty +2.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the decree, a testament to the orthodox lineage of Taoism and the divine inheritance. By presenting it to the Celestial Venerable and offering incense at the altar, you can obtain one Celestial Venerable Decree.]

[Congratulations on receiving your official certificate, officially designating you as a Taoist Master. With the permission of the Heavenly Venerable and through offerings, you are now authorized to receive your Taoist rank and ordination.]

Chen Han looked at the four game prompts in surprise. They all belonged to Game Module 2, so they all needed to be reported to the Celestial Venerable to activate their attributes.

If it belongs to Game Module 1, then you'll be given cultivation techniques, magic weapons, and the like.

Although these four items appear no different from those of other purple-robed Taoist priests, once he returns to the Chen family and reports to the Heavenly Venerable, the incense offerings to the altar will continue, and the altar will be activated; these will then be four very different items.

The first record is simple; upon completion, you'll receive a family gift pack, which should contain something the family can use once opened.

For example, the "Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg" is something that family members can use.

As for the purple robe, it is similar to the previous ancestral master's robe, but the attributes are two extremes. Wearing a purple robe can make one a sorcerer, and it is generally used for relatively important ceremonies.

Therefore, the attributes of +2 solemnity and +2 majesty are quite fitting.

Moreover, this clothing has another important function: to be used in accordance with laws and regulations.

Legend has it that decrees are bestowed by deities and can only be activated by orthodox priests. How can one prove orthodoxy? A robe is orthodoxy. A purple robe or Taoist garment allows the Heavenly Venerable to activate its attributes. Can you say it is not a robe?
What he was most concerned about was the decree. According to the notes, this was a decree that could become a legend, and the method was naturally approved by the Heavenly Venerable.

That would be equivalent to the Heavenly Venerable bestowing a decree.

Considering that the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable seems to control the sun, moon, and stars, does this decree mean he can make it daytime or nighttime whenever he wants?
However, this is definitely just wishful thinking. This broken law can't withstand such a high level of decree, and more importantly, he doesn't have the qualifications.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't deserve it!
We'll only know the specifics after we return to the Chen family.

However, the certificate of the vice president of this door association has become an officially designated certificate.

The "official" here does not refer to the officialdom in the modern sense, nor to the officialdom of ancient emperors and dynasties, but rather to the heavens, specifically to the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable.

That was to report to the main deity, to be granted the seven ranks and seven levels, and to deal with different functions.

This is different from the various ranks in Taoism today, which are self-proclaimed.

For example, the first chapter requires one to be well-versed in a certain sutra, while the second chapter requires one to be proficient in a certain sutra.

Those were things I did later, just for my own amusement.

The true seven ranks and seven levels, each rank and one level, require reporting to the main god to be granted a rank and title, and each rank will be granted a corresponding rank register.

For example, according to the legends recorded in the Taoist books related to the Chen family: Upon entering the seventh rank, one is granted the seventh rank register, which grants the ability to request the assistance of the divine officials (heavenly soldiers) under the command of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable.

After all, when the Taoist priest goes out to fight zombies, he can ask heavenly soldiers for help to slay the zombies.

For example, the legendary method of invoking gods is based on the same principle, just presented in a different way.

Those who can summon gods must have a certain rank; the higher the rank, the stronger the god they can summon.

This is naturally a legend among modern Taoist practitioners.

Now the association is issuing a vice president certificate and that's supposed to be related to this?
He really wanted to ask the game system if it could be made even more abstract.

The ceremony ended quickly, and Master Li said with a smile, "Patriarch Chen, you are now an officially recorded master in our association. You can check it by logging into our official website."

At this moment, the other Taoist priests also came over to greet Chen Han and congratulate him.

After chatting for a while, Master Qingwei said, "Everyone, today's time is auspicious. We still need to hold the ceremony for the Feng Shui exchange meeting. How about we have Patriarch Chen go back and change into his ritual robes?"

“That’s how it should be.” Master Li smiled.

“That’s right, don’t forget the important matter,” Zhang Tianshi echoed.

Chen Han smiled and took the four items back to his residence. The Feng Shui exchange meeting was a formal Taoist ceremony, so the ritual had to be formal.

The monk must wear a dharma robe.

In other words, he would have to change into a purple robe to participate, offer incense and pray for blessings with other Taoist priests, and open an altar to report to the ancestral master and the gods.

Since guests follow the host's lead, the incense is naturally offered to the patriarch Zhang Sanfeng and the Zhenwu Emperor. However, the Wudang Taoist priests need to kowtow, while the visitors only need to perform the Taoist ritual and offer three sticks of incense.

Chen Han put down the four items and picked up the purple robe to change into, while thinking about the game module ③ that had been mentioned earlier.

Now that I understand 1 and 2, I'm really looking forward to 3. However, after the first hint, there's been no further news.

Chen Han changed into his purple robe and looked at himself in the mirror. He had been growing his hair out over this period of time, and now it had reached his ears. Although he couldn't put it up in a bun, he could still tie a small tuft at the end.

Inside the Five Dragons Palace, the sound of bells also rang out.

The Taoist priests of Wudang generally understood that there was an important ceremony going on, and they all went to the main hall. The ordinary Taoist priests were not clear about the specifics, but they knew that many highly respected Taoist priests from Wudang had come, which should be related to this.

Some who knew the inside story were already quite anxious, knowing that a feng shui exchange meeting was about to begin.

Some of them had even come into contact with the two feng shui books and knew that the sect leader wanted to repair the feng shui formation of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak, so they were naturally eager for it.

Two men, covered in sweat, who had come up a narrow path also heard the bell.

Zhang Ke (Chapter 298), having spent many years in Wudang and filming videos explaining Taoism and Wudang, naturally knew what the bell sound meant.

"I knew something big was going to happen at Wudang," Zhang Ke said, urging his assistant to hurry up and climb the stairs. They soon entered the Five Dragons Palace.

Having spent so much time in Wudang, he knew some of the less-known paths and trails. The young Taoist priest guarding this path was his buddy.

He has topped up the other person's phone credit several times.

Upon entering one of the Five Dragon Palaces, they were surprised to see the Taoist priests gathered in the square.

Although I knew yesterday that some Taoist priests in purple robes had come, seeing the number of them today, I wonder if they all came?
Besides the purple robe, there is also the green Taoist robe, which is the level of a well-known Taoist master or an elder of a Taoist temple.

The last time Wudang was this lively was when Zhang Sanfeng...

No, it certainly wasn't this lively when Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng finished his demon-slaying campaign or on his birthday.

In this situation, he immediately took out his phone to film it. Those who follow him are fans who are interested in Taoist knowledge and events.

The spectacle before them was enough to attract these people.

It's a pity that there are Taoist priests from Wudang guarding the inside, so he can't go in and has no idea what these Taoist priests are doing gathered together.

"Boss, is that the head of the Chen family?" the assistant suddenly pointed in a direction.

Zhang Ke looked over and saw that it was indeed the head of the Chen family.
But he soon discovered an unbelievable scene: "Holy crap... Purple Robe..."

Is the Chen family head wearing a purple robe?

……
