I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 323: Even in reality, it has an impact on the demonic path!
The agonizing screams outside only added to Chen Han's unease; he couldn't understand what was happening.

He could only intensify his control over the separation and reunion of the divine light, which finally had an effect, stabilizing it before slowly releasing it.

But the people outside, including Master Li, felt a chill run down their spines.

Master Li followed the group of lay Buddhists who had gathered to examine the wondrous Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, never expecting to witness such a breathtaking scene.

A curious lay Buddhist walked under the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram and was suddenly enveloped in black mist, his arms even feeling as if they were being burned.

The scene was so bizarre that no one dared to approach the area covered by the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.

Even as they watched the swirling blue and white yin-yang fish, fear filled their faces; they had no idea what was happening.

But the three young men of the Chen family were not affected by the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.

Could it be that this Yin-Yang Taiji diagram has no effect on the Chen family?

Chen Dalong, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin were all terrified by the man's miserable state and dared not move.

As the person in charge, Master Li didn't know what was going on, but he knew that things couldn't continue like this, as the person was clearly in great pain.

Fortunately, at that moment, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram suddenly contracted and dissipated.

This relieved him.

Inside the room, Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief. The flash of inspiration on the plane had indeed helped him master the Immortal Light Separation and Union, but it was a quick process, and he almost lost control of it.

Hearing the commotion outside, he got up and went downstairs. He saw Master Li leading a group of people questioning a middle-aged lay Buddhist who had burn marks on his arms and even his neck.

He recalled the screams from earlier and had some guesses, so he called over Chen Dalong and asked, "What happened outside just now?"

Chen Dalong hurriedly explained, "Brother Han, a yin-yang symbol appeared on the house just now. After that gentleman entered the area of ​​the yin-yang symbol, black smoke started coming out of his body, and burn marks appeared on his arms and neck."

Even though Chen Han had already guessed it, he was still full of surprise when he heard it was true.

The "Immortal Light Separation and Reunion" spell is designed to counter demonic forces. Any demonic cultivator will be suppressed, their body will emit black smoke, and even their skin and flesh will be corroded.

I never expected that this attribute would have a use in real life.

In this way, it becomes very easy to identify certain people. For example, the injured lay Buddhist is clearly a person of the demonic path.

Considering the other party's wealthy status, they must either be a shrewd businessman or someone who has made too much money through dishonest means.

In fact, there are quite a few unscrupulous merchants and villains who mingle in Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries.

The core motivation behind these people's donations is essentially to seek psychological compensation through religious "good deeds" or to try to obtain "forgiveness" for past misdeeds, rather than to truly identify with the benevolent ideals in religious doctrines.

The motivations behind such behavior are nothing more than two points.

First, there is the psychological need for atonement. Faced with the guilt and anxiety brought about by their own wrongdoings, they fantasize about using this to offset moral or legal punishment.

Secondly, they cultivate an outward image of being "charitable and generous" to conceal their true nature, ensuring that their misdeeds are not exposed and their careers are not affected.

The first type is alright; they're afraid and will restrain themselves to some extent. The second type is absolutely wicked and extremely hypocritical.

Chen Han glanced at the middle-aged man, unsure of which type he was.

However, this was a Taoist event that Master Li was in charge of, and he didn't want to cause trouble or make things look bad.

After all, it wasn't an event organized by the Chen family, nor was he a lay Buddhist of the Chen family. Besides, there are many such people in society, and he can't manage them all, nor does he have the time or inclination to care about them.

But despite his mindset, the middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Patriarch Chen, your magic is breathtaking and astonishing. I was the one who walked into the range of your spell and was injured by it. It's no one else's fault."

As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with excitement. After all, he had truly witnessed the methods of Taoism and seen what wonder truly meant.

And such a highly accomplished Taoist master is someone I definitely want to get to know, and since he is a lay Taoist, I naturally have the opportunity.

Besides, he deliberately said he was injured in order to make the other party feel guilty. Once that guilt is felt, wouldn't it be necessary to give him some benefits?
He'll take the benefits, then he'll donate to the Chen family later. That way, their friendship will deepen.
Many people probably want to get involved with the Chen family now.

After all, a wealthy man like Liu Ye was with the Chen family.

And then there's Liao Shuang; the Liao family's businesses are also among the top 100.

Now this opportunity is right in front of him.

"You jest, layman. There's no such thing as magic in modern society. We should believe in science." Chen Han hadn't expected that ignoring the other party would only make them more bothered.

What kind of world is this?

It was as if he ignored the demonic path, yet the demonic path insisted on lingering in front of him.

Moreover, how could he not understand what the other person was thinking?
What a treacherous villain.

The middle-aged man was clearly dissatisfied with these words and immediately said, "Patriarch Chen, we are all Taoist priests and lay practitioners. We will not spread this outside. You don't need to do this. We all believe that Taoism has mysterious and wondrous methods."

Seeing that the other party was still pestering him, Chen Han smiled and looked at him coldly: "Sir, since you know that the Taoist sect has mysterious methods, have you ever thought that there are gods watching over you? Evil people cannot wash away their sins by using the identity of a Taoist layperson."

As he spoke, he activated the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Advanced Qi Refining Method," and a powerful aura pressed down on his opponent.

Even though he's only just starting to open his spiritual veins, in the world of Shushan Swordsmen, he's only considered a nobody.

In reality, this kind of aura can definitely put immense pressure on an ordinary person.

In that instant, the middle-aged man subconsciously swallowed: "Patriarch Chen, I...I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Don't know?" Chen Han said with a smile, "Then do you need me to call the police and let you tell the police officer in person? Do you believe that there really are gods watching over you, and that you'll tell them the whole truth yourself?"

At that moment, the middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat.

Having just witnessed the terror of the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, and feeling the chills of facing the Chen family head before him, he could no longer bear it and fled in a panic, not daring to linger any longer.

Master Li and the others stared in astonishment at the scene, and they all understood that this person must be the evildoer that Patriarch Chen had mentioned, who wanted to use the identity of a Taoist layman to do something.

The other party has now been exposed by the Chen family head.

How did the Chen family head know about this during their first meeting?
Could it be because of that Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram from earlier?
Suddenly, everyone started speculating.

Chen Han glanced again at the assembled Taoist lay practitioners and said coldly, "I know some of you are not truly devout believers in Taoism. Your donations and sponsorships to Taoism are mostly for ulterior motives, and some, like the one just now, are perhaps even deeply sinful. Taoism is not a place to hide filth. Those of you with such motives, please do as you please, otherwise… hmph…"

Perhaps the events of earlier had been quite a shock, for upon hearing Chen Han's words, four of the lay Buddhists indeed looked rather grim. After hesitating for a moment, they turned and left.

Having witnessed that extraordinary practice, they dared not gamble on whether this Chen family head had any other special methods.

Since they have money, they can sponsor Buddhism instead of Taoism; it's not their loss that's happening.

This scene left the lay Buddhists, including Master Li and the other Taoist priests, looking at the head of the Chen family with expressions of shock.

In a short time, the other party seemed to be a true enlightened master, able to distinguish between good and evil, and with just a few words, he was able to make those evil people retreat on their own.

It seems that many novels include this kind of plot when they are about a Taoist master.

Is this a novel coming to life?
Chen Han looked at the Taoist priests and lay Buddhists gathered outside and calmly said, "Disperse!"

After saying that, he went back into the house, not intending to say anything more to the others.

"Everyone go do your own thing." Master Li dismissed the others and then looked at the detached house in front of him.

What the Chen family head just showed can be described as a divine manifestation.

It is definitely another wonder and miracle after the Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak.

Unlike the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak of Wudang, the thing that Patriarch Chen made cannot be seen by outsiders unless Patriarch Chen shows off his skills in public and the outsiders happen to be there.

The alchemy peak at Wudang Mountain appears frequently, leading to an increase in tourists visiting Wudang, and even causing prices to rise due to market forces.

This also greatly increased the influence of Taoism.

This was something that had never happened before in the Daoist sects, and it all seemed to be related to this Chen family head.

Perhaps the head of the Chen family is indeed, as many fellow Daoists believe, a great power who appears only once every few hundred years.

In the future, he will surely be recognized as a patriarch and recorded in Taoist classics.

Otherwise, how do you explain that Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram?
However, he did not inquire about the Chen family head's thoughts on this kind of magic, as he knew very well that it was definitely a closely guarded secret.

Like Wudang, who recently started practicing the secret manual "Tai Chi Chuan," let's see if they'll share it with others.

Asking that question will only make people feel uncomfortable.

Even if someone tells you, how do you know if it's true or false? You might develop problems from practicing it, and it could even kill you.

Therefore, he now only hopes that the people in the sect can find their own feng shui formation diagrams, even if there are any remnants, so that he can invite the Chen family head and many fellow practitioners of the Taoist sect to take a look.

That might allow for recovery. Our family also has inherited cultivation manuals, and over 200 years ago, Master Sanfeng produced a grandmaster of the Daoist school.

Master Li entered the building and met Chen Han: "Patriarch Chen, it's almost time for dinner. Given the current situation, would you like to go to the restaurant together, or is there some other arrangement?"

Chen Han thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Dalong and the other two: "Just have the three of them pack one for me. We won't go to the restaurant; I don't want to attract too much attention."

"Hmm." Master Li nodded, and chatted with Chen Han for a while about tomorrow's Taoist activities, without mentioning a word about what had just happened.

Just before leaving, Master Li suddenly made a suggestion: "Patriarch Chen, next year I will be stepping down as the president of the Taoist Association. I think that in terms of prestige within the Taoist community, no one can compare to Patriarch Chen. I would like to recommend Patriarch Chen, and the vice presidents and Taoist priests would also agree."

Upon hearing this, Chen Han immediately shook his head: "Master Li, don't get me into trouble. I don't want to deal with those trivial matters. Find someone else to do this hard labor. There are so many purple-robed Taoist priests, anyone can do it."

"Hehehe!" Master Li laughed helplessly. It really was hard work.

It takes a lot of brainpower to outwit and outmaneuver Secretary-General Ma Yuan, not to mention there are many Taoist activities to handle.

These matters are not only within the Taoist community itself, but sometimes they are also assigned by higher authorities, so there are many troublesome things to deal with.

After Master Li left, Chen Han returned to his room and continued to study the separation and reunion of the immortal light, trying to master the spell.

Since we know that this spell, under the attributes of the game system, can actually affect and harm people practicing magic in the real world, then it is very useful.

Think about it, in the description of the Swordsman of Shu Mountain, when one's strength is great, one can use the Immortal Light Separation and Union spell to cover an entire city.

What kind of situation is that?
After becoming familiar with the separation and reunion of the immortal light, he looked at the Immortal Alliance gift pack rewarded by the Manifestation Quest.

What you get from these treasure chests is entirely up to luck.

Sometimes it might be worthless.

However, it doesn't matter what the reward from the white-collar inspection is.

Congratulations on opening a Celestial Alliance Gift Pack! You have obtained a fragment of the Purple Cloud Palace's unique Evolutionary Eight Trigrams Disc.

"???" Chen Han was stunned when he saw the game prompt.

If it were any other magical artifact fragments, he would complain that the game system was too stingy.

Previously, at least the rewards were incomplete items; now they're just fragments.

The ability to evolve Bagua disc fragments makes all the difference.

Ziyun Palace is a sect founded by Qi Lingyun in the later stages of the Shushan Swordsman world, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The disciples of Ziyun Palace are all proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Yin Yang Bagua, and are skilled in using Bagua for deduction. The fundamental reason for this is the fragment of the evolved Bagua plate.

Legend has it that the runes on the Bagua plate, intertwined one by one, have been used to compile several cultivation methods based on Bagua deduction, which are provided for the disciples of Ziyun Palace to practice.

Qi Lingyun, as those who have read the novel know, is one of the famous Three Heroes and Two Clouds.

In any TV series or movie about Mount Shu, she will inevitably make an appearance.

She is also the daughter of the leader of the Emei Sect.

It is precisely for this reason that the Evolution Bagua Plate became the treasured artifact of her sect.

Later, the Bagua compass was shattered and scattered. A wandering fortune teller obtained a fragment and became a famous diviner in the area, eventually even becoming the national advisor.

The legend goes that this sorcerer predicted wars for the emperor several times, enabling him to make arrangements at crucial moments.

Therefore, even if this thing is a fragment, it is not an ordinary fragment.

Chen Han immediately looked at the game inventory for the notes about the Evolution Bagua Disc fragment:
[Fragment of the Evolutionary Eight Trigrams Plate: This is a fragment of the Purple Cloud Palace's Evolutionary Eight Trigrams Plate after it shattered. It possesses special effects. When worn, it will trigger special divination effects when the time is right. However, due to the small size of the fragment and incomplete runes, the direction, result, and target of the divination are random and uncontrollable!]

Seeing this note, Chen Han roughly knew what the fragment was for.

The Ziyun Palace is skilled in divination because it evolved the Bagua diagram.

For example, it can predict who will face a calamity in the near future, and thus help them avoid it. It's similar to fortune-telling as commonly understood, but even more magical.

Ziyun Palace has repeatedly evaded the evil cult's plots thanks to this treasure.

There are even rumors that before the Long-Browed Ancestor ascended to immortality, he used this treasure to predict the rise of Emei and made a series of arrangements.

However, this Eight Trigrams Evolution Plate can only evolve human affairs, and it has no effect on ascension, so it was left in the Emei Sect.

Now, according to the notes on this fragment of the Evolutionary Bagua Plate, this fragment also has a certain degree of evolutionary effect, but this evolutionary effect cannot be controlled autonomously.

The direction, result, and objective of the deduction are random.

The key is that this predestined connection is the prerequisite condition that can trigger the evolution of the Bagua Plate fragment.

This is a bit like a riddle; no one knows how to interpret it.

Chen Han couldn't understand what it meant, so he simply took out a red rope and started weaving and wrapping it around the fragments of the Evolution Bagua Plate. He could then hang it around his neck, which would be considered wearing it on his body.

As night fell completely, Chen Dalong, Chen Linlin, and Chen Dao went to a restaurant for dinner and packed some food to take back to him.

After Chen Han ate the food the three of them had packed, he received a message from his junior sister. She sent a photo of a thank-you gift from the Chen family.

A premium Leizhu Lingcha tea and a premium Lingcha tea were placed in a gift box.

These are gifts to thank the authors of the designs.

After all, since they used the other party's design blueprints to change the appearance of things like the weapon forging furnace, they naturally had to make some kind of gesture.

Although those people participated voluntarily, whether or not they express their opinions can make a difference and reveal a different level of character.

Chen Han asked his junior sister to film another video and send it to him. Then he posted the video on his Douyin account and said in the voiceover: "The ancestor has completed the construction of the family cave and has also learned what it means to keep up with the times. In order to thank the few fellow Daoists who helped the ancestor realize the true meaning of keeping up with the times, they will receive a gift from our Chen family."

"It's the gift pack of premium Leizhu Spirit Tea and Jingyi Spirit Tea shown in the video. The Chen family will contact a few fellow Daoists, and they will be asked to fill out some information at that time."

Afterwards, I uploaded a video, wrote a title, and tagged the people whose design drawings had been used.

Click Send.

At night, Chen Han spent his time either cultivating or studying the evolution of the Bagua Plate fragments, but he didn't manage to figure anything out.

However, his videos have once again stirred up a buzz online.

After getting off work today, Huang Tao went to dinner with his colleagues. It was all men, no women. Sometimes, when women are mixed in at a dinner party, it just doesn't feel right.

When Huang Tao saw that someone had tagged him in Douyin's backstage, he thought it was because the Chen family head had requisitioned the picture he made.

Because of this, many nosy people have tagged him multiple times.

But when he clicked in this time, he was clearly stunned, especially when he heard the Chen family head in the video say that he was going to give gifts, especially premium Leizhu Spirit Tea + Premium Spirit Tea.

His colleagues who knew the situation instinctively stopped and looked at him. Their expressions were all a bit off, and they hurriedly took out their phones to search for videos of the Chen family head.

The unsuspecting colleagues were bewildered and asked, "What's wrong with you all all of you all suddenly?"

One person in the know asked, "Don't you know that Chen's premium Leizhu Lingcha + Jingyi Lingcha are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan as gifts? Huang Tao is about to receive such a gift."

The words "hundreds of thousands" attracted the attention of those uninformed colleagues, who quickly took out their phones to check. These people knew about the Chen family and had seen the video before.

They simply didn't pay attention to specific premium Leizhu Lingcha teas.

After learning the price, the way people looked at Huang Tao changed, and some even exclaimed enviously, "Huang Tao, are you going to strike it rich?"

Although Huang Tao was also stunned by the surprise, he had been to the Chen family and seen some strange things before. He suddenly asked, "If the Chen family head only used my image in an AI video, does that mean he needs to send gifts worth hundreds of thousands? And several of them? How much would that cost?"

These words stunned the other colleagues.

What do you mean?
Online.

Countless people have seen Chen Han's video. Although the video is simple, it is very attractive, mainly because the two kinds of tea together make a gift worth hundreds of thousands.

This amount is more than just attractive; it's enviable, and all it takes is an abstract design drawing.

This also caused many people who didn't participate and those who participated but weren't selected to be extremely frustrated.

I thought it was just a video, something to join in the fun and have some fun, but who knew there would be such a valuable gift?

Besides Chen Han's video, Chen Dalong, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin also posted the same video, which was a promotion for the Taoist sect's event.

The three of them already have quite a few fans, all exceeding 200 million, and the number is still slowly increasing. Once they participate in the next world championship and achieve a ranking, their fan base will explode.

After all, people are already calling Chen Dalong or Brother Chen Dao, and the signs of a fan economy are emerging.

This is why this Taoist event has attracted a lot of attention.

……

The next day, when Chen Han got up from his meditation, the entire villa was already bustling with the early morning activity.

Today marks the start of this Taoist event, and both the invited Taoist priests and lay practitioners are required to attend the event at the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

When he came downstairs, Chen Dalong, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin were all wearing Taoist robes, but they were all the lowest-grade plain Taoist robes.

The three of them are here today to support this Taoist event.

It's likely that fans of all three will come to support them, making the event even more lively.

Before breakfast, Chen Han also planned to go through this door together, since they were already there.

He had just finished breakfast when he suddenly paused, and the fragment of the Evolutionary Bagua Disc hanging around his neck suddenly vibrated.

Then, a cool sensation rushed to his brain, and his expression became incredulous.

Holy crap, this research went on all night without any results, and then suddenly it triggered an effect out of nowhere.

The key is that the effect is really amazing.
