Chapter 311 The Chen Family Dreamland Gets a Major Upgrade! The Chen Family Dreamland Strategy!
Special Soul-Summoning Banner: A magical artifact.

Special effect:

1. When a devout person (who can contribute their vows) enters a dream within the sect's territory, they will be summoned by a special soul-summoning banner, and the dream scene will be pulled into the 'dream realm'.

2. Special Dream: Because the special soul-summoning banner has assembled new plug-ins, it can construct a special dream. Since the plug-ins are from the righteous path, the special dream can only be set in the positive direction, and only those who are devout and have contributed more than 2 points of willpower can enter.

Special Dream Effect: The special dream effect will be visible once it is completed!
Limitation: The special dream has not yet been constructed. Please construct the special dream on the special summoning banner and fill in the special dream.

Chen Han saw that the screen on the special soul-summoning banner in front of him, which originally had interwoven and surging runes, suddenly lit up and showed the shape of a computer screen.

This left Chen Han somewhat bewildered. So this special soul-summoning banner could be switched back and forth like this, right?
However, he couldn't operate the computer screen itself; he could only interact with the drawing board-like interface that appeared on it.

There is only one line of text above:

"Please construct a special illusion!"

Damn, isn't this just like asking him to draw a picture on a computer drawing board?
Then this special soul-summoning banner must construct a special illusion according to the drawing he made.

The key point is that this drawing board is a touch screen.

Isn't that keeping up with the times?
Chen Han has some painting skills, after all, he studied design, but it would be a bit difficult for him to paint a scene out of thin air and also meet the requirements of constructing a special dream.

It's not that I don't know how, but I've never done this before and have no experience. It would take a lot of time, brainpower, and energy.

In modern society, with the development of technology, even a spirit-summoning banner can look like a computer, with a screen that can display an image to help you create a dream world.

So, he can take out his phone, open Doubao, and create an AI drawing, right?

Let Doubao draw it for him first, and then he can copy it. That would be much simpler.

Without further ado, I took out my phone, opened Doubao, and described:
A place that's like a fairyland, with stunning scenery; everything else is up to you...

Then draw a diagram.

It must be said that the current AI drawing function is quite good.

Several drawings popped up immediately.

He looked at several drawings and found one that looked pretty good.

The picture depicts a valley shrouded in mist, with a large tree, a stone table beneath it, and flowers blooming all around, while a river flows nearby...

Anyway, it's not for participating in art exhibitions; it's just for creating special dreamscapes, so it doesn't matter.

Save this image directly, then open it, walk to the screen of the special summoning banner, and start drawing on the canvas.

After only drawing less than one-tenth of the area, the game prompt appeared again:

[The special summoning banner has detected the special dream you are trying to construct. Would you like to load it directly?]

"???" Chen Han was speechless for a moment.

If you had this feature, why didn't you release it sooner? Do you mean we have to wait until he's drawn part of it before we can judge it?

Anyway, the drawing board then started drawing automatically, recording all the drawings made by Doubao onto it.

Honestly, at this moment, Chen Han really felt like he was cultivating immortality through technology.

[Congratulations! The special soul-summoning banner and special dream template have been completed. The special illusion is under construction...]

As the game prompted, the screen that had lit up on the special summoning banner returned to normal, now displaying a pattern of swirling and moving runes.

Chen Han knew that this construction wouldn't be completed immediately.

So he went out and took a stroll around the Chen family's place.

Since the rapeseed flower season has ended, the number of tourists visiting Chenshi has returned to normal, and now it can receive about 2500 people a day.

After the peak of the heat this season, the weather begins to cool down, and many scenic spots will likely enter a period of low activity.

However, this should not affect the Chen family. After all, under the feng shui formation of gathering wind and energy, the +2 attribute of being warm in winter and cool in summer will make the Chen family, like Asia, still a tourist destination with a pleasant climate.

However, the Qionghua flowers that had previously bloomed due to the Hundred Flowers Dew Rune are beginning to wither, and there will probably be no more tourists to see them in a few days.

Fortunately, development of the back mountain has already begun, and the mountain roads have been expanded. Various buildings have also been constructed at the mountain spring.

Even without the Qionghua forest, the back mountain can still accommodate many guests, definitely no less than the Qionghua forest, and the daily reception capacity can easily exceed 3000 people.

As more development takes place in the back mountains, this number will increase.

The special summoning banner didn't create the special illusion for very long; after dinner, I received another game notification:

Congratulations! The special dream realm has been successfully constructed. Please fill in the special dream content as soon as possible.

Note: Special dream effects will be triggered when the dream content meets the specified conditions!

Upon hearing the game notification, Chen Han immediately went to his room, sat down cross-legged, took out a mid-level spirit stone, and began to practice the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Advanced Qi Refining Method".

As he successfully entered a meditative state, the prompt "Entering the Dream Realm" reappeared in his mind.

This time, in addition to entering the dream world, there is another option below.

Special Dream: Enterable (Dream not yet fully completed, cannot be opened to the public, effects not yet triggered!)

Upon seeing this, Chen Han immediately took out the Thousand Illusion Mask and transformed himself into the appearance of an old Taoist priest.

Although I don't know what this special dream filling is all about, going in as an old Taoist priest would make it easier to deal with whatever it is.

After changing his identity, he entered the newly constructed special dream realm of the 'Dream Realm' with a thought.

The basic dream realm is initially empty. Only when a devout person dreams, and their dream is pulled into the dream realm, will the dream of that devout person appear inside.

But as soon as he entered this special dream, a scene appeared inside—the very valley that Doubao had helped draw.

It's just that the game system makes it more realistic; you can even hear the chirping of insects in the valley.

He appeared beneath that giant tree.

This tree was much taller and thicker than the three old elm trees belonging to the Chen family.

In reality, Chen Han had never seen such a huge tree.

The stone table under the tree is also very eye-catching. It is no longer a simple AI drawing, but rather carries a special kind of charm.

The feeling was as if one glance was enough to know that this stone table had an extraordinary history.

This feeling is both wonderful and very real.

The surrounding scenery was basically constructed according to the fantasy world drawn by Doubao, with clusters of flowers, a river flowing around, and swirling clouds and mist, truly like a fairyland.

However, after he entered, the game didn't provide any prompts, so he didn't know how to fill in this illusion.

The game prompt only appeared in his mind after he sat down at the stone table:

[Under the giant tree, an old Taoist priest sits at a stone table. This meets the requirements for a specific dream to be filled in. Should we fill in the dream?]

Chen Han was taken aback.

Does this work too?
Ignore everything else for now and select fill first. After all, who knows how we'll trigger the fill condition later if we miss this step?
And when he realized that this was feasible, he suddenly had an idea.

Under the giant tree, the old Taoist priest was already sitting at the stone table, so why not brew a pot of immortal tea?
Thinking about it, he took out a tea set from the game's inventory, along with a premium Leizhu Spirit Tea, and even a simple stove for boiling water.

As for the water for brewing tea, there is a flowing river nearby. By using the basic sword control technique, the river water is drawn up and steadily falls onto the teapot, where it is then boiled.

Isn't that pretentious?

If a sufficiently devout person were to enter at this moment and sit across from the stone table, wouldn't they be utterly astonished?

Once the tea was brewed, I naturally used the basic sword control technique again. After pouring the tea, I didn't touch the teacup or teapot at all.

Isn't this just like a celestial being?
Therefore, this special dream can be named 'Immortal's Secret Valley'.

But no sooner had this thought crossed his mind than the game notification appeared again:

[Congratulations! You have completed filling in the special dream and named it 'Immortal's Secret Valley'. Are you sure?]

"..." Chen Han hadn't expected this to work, so he immediately clicked "confirm".

Now that the conditions have been met, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he decided to leave it at that.

The game prompt appears again:

[The special dreamscape 'Immortal Valley' is currently loading and being optimized... Congratulations! The loading and optimization of the special dreamscape 'Immortal Valley' is complete. The dreamscape has gained special attribute bonuses: Immortal Demeanor +3, Ethereal Grace +3, and Wonderful Scenery +3]

Chen Han was utterly astonished after receiving this hint.

Three consecutive attributes with a +3 rating.

This was the first time he had ever seen an attribute with a +3 rating.

If he didn't know that these things only happen in dreams, he would have thought that the game system had suddenly become very generous.

Moreover, when he looked around, he indeed found that the surroundings had changed somewhat.

The scene and setting remain unchanged, but the swirling clouds and mist instantly create the feeling of being in a fairyland, evoking a profound sense of atmosphere.

The kind that has a very big impact.

He knew this must be due to the +3 attribute from the Wonderland Painting skill; it really was a direct bonus.

Just then, a voice rang out: "It is fate that you, fellow Daoist, have entered the valley. Why don't you come and have a cup of tea with me?"

Chen Han looked at the stone table, where an old Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom was already sitting, smiling and extending an invitation to him.

He understood. These were the elements he had added to the environment, which were then optimized by the game system, and now he had become an NPC in this dream world.
But this NPC in the dream still looked like the old Taoist priest he had transformed into using the Thousand Illusions Mask, which made him somewhat unrecognizable.

Her white hair, as white as snow, was clearly defined and swayed gently in the breeze. Her eyes were deep and clear, as if they could see through the chaos of the world.

The overall image gives people a sense of being far removed from worldly affairs and full of mystery, as if you can tell at a glance that the other person is an immortal who has come out of a fairyland.

He understood; these were the attributes of "ethereal and otherworldly demeanor +3" and "ethereal and otherworldly aura +3".

Seriously, this attribute is so classy. If he could have this attribute when he transformed into an old Taoist priest, wouldn't everyone who saw him kneel down and call him an old immortal?
At this moment, the dream NPC started to show off.

He replenished the game by taking tea leaves and items from the game's inventory.

But the NPC simply waved his hand, and tea set, tea leaves, and a kettle appeared on the stone table.

It was the same scene of waving and the river water flowing into the kettle, but he just felt that this NPC was pretentious, so pretentious that he was convinced that this was indeed an old immortal.

Even he, the creator of this dream, had this feeling: what would happen to the tourists who came in?
Finally, the NPC old immortal waved his hand, and the cup of tea that had been poured landed in his hand.

He took the tea, put it to his lips, and drank it. He could tell it was the taste of premium Leizhu Spirit Tea, but it seemed to have an added special flavor.

Because this is a dream, it comes from the mind, and the feeling is different from actually drinking it. Anyway, it's a very strange feeling.

Chen Han sensed it for a moment, then with a thought, he exited the special dream, opened his eyes in the room, and stopped cultivating.

He also clearly felt a sense of mental relaxation, a clear mind, and a very comfortable feeling. A game prompt appeared in his mind again:
The special dreamscape 'Immortal Valley' has been completed. Drinking a sip of celestial tea within the dream will grant special effects: promoting mental relaxation, accelerating cell renewal and organ rest, clearing metabolic waste from the brain, and enhancing brain immunity.

Chen Han immediately understood that the feeling he had just experienced was caused by this attribute.

The key is that the attributes of this dream are quite impressive.

It goes without saying that promoting mental relaxation is important, as mental tension, fatigue, stress, and other negative states are all forms of slow suicide.

To put it simply, people who are mentally relaxed can significantly improve their quality of life, while people who are constantly in a negative mental state will definitely not live long.

Moreover, due to the immense pressure and restless social atmosphere in modern society, many people are in a negative mental state, with more than 1 million people confirmed to have related mental health issues.

This is only for those who have confirmed they have mental problems and gone to the hospital for treatment. How many people haven't gone to the hospital for treatment?

Or, you could think about how many days in a year you were truly happy?
Are you troubled by various work, life and other things on other days?
It promotes cell renewal and organ rest, and it also has the property of allowing the body to relax completely while sleeping.

It's amazing how it clears metabolic waste from the brain and boosts the brain's immunity.

Many people think that only the carbon dioxide we breathe is waste, but in fact, the human body produces all kinds of waste substances all the time.

The same goes for the brain.

The brain produces many waste products during metabolism, such as amyloid protein, TAU protein, etc.

Timely removal of these substances plays a vital role in maintaining brain health and alertness. Otherwise, it can easily lead to mental illnesses such as depression, and may even affect cerebrospinal fluid circulation, meningeal lymphatic vessel regulation, blood-brain barrier metabolism, and so on.

The latter symptoms are rare for most people, except for those who work long hours in a mentally demanding environment. However, mental illnesses are quite common.

Especially conditions such as depression and anxiety.

There are now more than 9500 million people suffering from depression and 7000 million suffering from anxiety in my country, and the number is still increasing.

These serious illnesses can indeed lead to suicidal thoughts.

Similarly, this is only the case where people discover they have a problem and then go to the hospital for a record; in reality, the number is far greater than that.

Simply put, a perfectly healthy person can fall asleep in no time after lying in bed. If you lie in bed and toss and turn and can't fall asleep, and this happens many times within a month, then you are definitely in a healthy state.

So, these special dream attributes, aren't they amazing?

Even someone with severe depression who contemplates suicide can be reborn after going in and coming out.

Entering this special dream a couple more times will completely eliminate these problems. Not only will it improve physical health and prolong life, but more importantly, it will make you happy.

Being happy is the most important thing.

To receive all this in one's sleep is indeed the greatest reward for these devout believers.

While Chen Han was marveling at the scene, many people in the Chen family had already fallen asleep and were dreaming. The tourists who had contributed their vows to the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Hall were quickly drawn into the 'dream realm'.

Wu Yan (Chapter 201) is an example of this.

After being taught a lesson by the Chen family head and experiencing that terror, he has now completely turned to the right path and opened a guesthouse in Linhe County.

Now, Linhe County is attracting more and more tourists. The Chen family is very famous online, but accommodation in the Chen family and Shangyuan Village is limited. Tourists who can't book a room can only go to the ancient town in the county.

Those hotels and guesthouses simply cannot compete with the Ancient City Hotel.

But homestays are different. As long as the service is good, the pick-up and drop-off service is integrated, and enough emotional value is provided, they can still compete with hotels in the ancient city by building a good reputation.

His guesthouse had just opened, but business was already quite good, thanks to the Chen family name. His first video was titled "A good-for-nothing playboy, after being guided by the Chen family head, embarks on a legitimate business venture..."

Anyway, it was a self-narration, in which he also described the painful experience of being subjected to magic by the Chen family head during that period. Of course, he wouldn't say what kind of magic it was, as that would be too embarrassing.

The key will be subject to review.

Such subtle expressions might be overlooked, but if they are stated directly and real place names or personal names are used, it becomes the promotion of superstition.

The censorship of Douyin (TikTok) can be quite perplexing at times.

Even so, it still attracted a lot of people, after all, he was indeed guided towards good by the Chen family head, and there are videos online to prove this.

Many people who have truly experienced the magic of the Chen family head want to ask him about the Chen family.

So, when he was running a guesthouse, he also provided consultations and told people the mysterious stories of the Chen family, which really attracted a lot of tourists.

Because of his excellent service and positive reviews from tourists, he plans to expand his guesthouse. Therefore, he also wants to investigate the various mysterious rumors surrounding the Chen family so that he can share them with the guests staying at his guesthouse.

For example, this time we can all dream together.

Several tourists posted videos saying it happened, but many other tourists said it didn't, and even stated that they also had dreams in Chenshi, and that such a situation simply didn't exist, and that it was just a hoax.

In this situation, if two people say it exists while more than 50 people say it doesn't, then the two people seem to be just trying to attract attention, so people online don't believe it.

But Wu Yan knew that many things in the Chen family were not something that everyone was fortunate enough to have access to.

Therefore, just because a few people can access it doesn't necessarily mean it's fake.

He came to experience it for himself, and one night he entered a dream and, sure enough, dreamed with other people.

This is real.

Moreover, during this time, he was also trying to figure out the pattern. Since some people could enter while others could not, there must be conditions involved.

He inquired with the tourists who entered the dream world, and after three consecutive nights, he discovered a pattern: all of them had offered incense to Chen's Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, and had all been blessed by the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, experiencing a warm and comfortable feeling all over their bodies.

Wu Yan almost understood.

Only the most devout can enter this dream.

The fact that offering incense to the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable is a blessing is no secret among true believers. In fact, many believers have formed a group to discuss matters concerning the Chen family.

He's in this group.

The believers inside said that they often go to the Chen Family Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable Hall to offer incense and ask the Heavenly Venerable for blessings, and their health has improved a lot compared to before.

But these ordinary tourists have no idea, and people online don't know either. Even if they post this kind of thing online, no one will believe it.

Because ordinary tourists who offer incense will not receive blessings from the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, and will not feel the blessing on their bodies, they naturally cannot empathize with the same experience as the demon-subduing heavenly venerable.

He couldn't book accommodation with the Chen family today either, but he parked his car in the parking lot, and he took some kind of medicine in order to fall asleep.

This medicine is harmless to the body, but it may make you feel mentally exhausted all night, making it easier to fall asleep and causing vivid dreams.

So, he had a good dream that night and entered Chen's dream world.

He had a good dream today; he dreamt that his girlfriend was pregnant. It seems that once you reach a certain age, you start to want to have children.

When he woke up from his dream, he went outside and saw a tourist's dream. The tourist was praising his son for getting first place in his grade in the exam.

Given this situation, it's likely that the other party's son never ranked first in his grade, otherwise he wouldn't need to have this dream.

Just like some people online, they insist on refuting things even when there's nothing to it; it's the same principle.

A moment later, a series of surprised exclamations rang out:

"It's actually true. The Chen family can really dream together."

"Some people online are saying it's a scam."

"Haha, that's amazing! If the blessing from the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable is so miraculous, it's not surprising that something like this would happen, is it?"

"..."

This wasn't the first time Wu Yan had heard such surprised remarks; every time a visitor entered the dream world for the first time, they would react the same way.

Just then, a tourist looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "What's that? It looks like a portal of light."

Other tourists also looked up and were surprised to see this scene.

Wu Yan looked up and saw the same scene. This was definitely not the case before. At that moment, he was suddenly pulled by something and floated directly towards the light gate.

Other tourists were also astonished by this scene, their eyes widening as they watched the person float into the portal.

Many people, upon seeing this, even jumped around under the gate of light, but there was no reaction at all. They could only look at the gate of light with curiosity, not knowing what was going on.

After a brief period of dizziness, Wu Yan was surprised to find himself in a valley.

The valley is incredibly beautiful, shrouded in mist and clouds, resembling a fairyland.

Especially the huge tree in front of him, which he had never seen so tall and magnificent, and the stone table under the tree, which was obviously not right.

Has Chen's dream been upgraded?

Like those games, have they developed new maps?

As he was thinking this, he was surprised to hear a voice say, "Young friend, since we've come here by chance, why not have a cup of tea?"

Wu Yan stared wide-eyed at the figure that appeared under the giant tree in disbelief. Wasn't that the old Taoist priest from the Chen family?
There are many legends about this Taoist priest. It is said that he is over 200 years old and has various mysterious abilities.

Thinking of this, Wu Yan looked around in horror, his heart churning with turmoil.

Could it be that this dream was actually created by this old Taoist priest?
Otherwise, how do you explain that he came in here and immediately met this old Taoist priest surnamed Chen?
Good heavens! Wu Yan's heart was racing; he felt he had discovered something incredible.

The next moment, he looked at the old Taoist priest Chen with a face full of horror. The priest reached out and gently stroked the table, and tea set and tea appeared out of thin air.

Then, as if receiving a command, the river water beside it flew into the pot on its own.

Even as the old Taoist priest brewed and poured the tea, and a cup of tea flew into his hand with a wave of his hand, his opponent never touched the tea set.

What else could this be but a divine being?

Wu Yan subconsciously drank the cup of tea and found it to taste very good. It seemed that after drinking the cup of tea, his whole spirit became very comfortable and his body experienced a wonderful feeling.

He didn't realize what had happened until the teacup flew back into his hand. Then he heard the old Taoist priest Chen say, "Young friend, you've had your tea. Since you've come here by chance, you're welcome to take a look around."

After hearing this, Wu Yan noticed that the old Taoist priest Chen had disappeared again, as if he had never been there.

But the surrounding scenery really attracted him.

If he hadn't known it was a dream, he would have taken out his phone to take a picture.

So now he can only wander around and see and appreciate the beautiful scenery of the valley with his own eyes.

Unfortunately, the view outside the valley was completely blocked by the misty atmosphere, making it impossible to see anything.

Wu Yan knew this would be another exclusive topic of conversation for him, and he even felt he could write a guide about it.

But suddenly, when he reached a corner of the valley, he saw a very familiar sign.

This sign confirmed to him that this was definitely a dream created by the old Taoist priest Chen.

Even the logo made his face contort with a mixture of astonishment, bewilderment, and amazement... a constantly shifting array of expressions.

Is this even allowed?
