I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 326 The Shocking Dragon Vein Formation! We've Obtained the True Formation!

Chen Han was truly amazed by the feng shui scene depicted by the feng shui spirit stone.

Previously, whether it was the feng shui formation arranged by the Chen family, the feng shui formation at the Golden Summit of Wudang, or even the feng shui formation at Baiyun Temple now, although the feng shui spirit stones were all very magnificent, they were nothing compared to this awe-inspiring behemoth.

This city has become like a feng shui formation.

Its appearance was just like a legendary dragon, winding its way through the entire city.

Moreover, unlike the white light outlined by typical feng shui formations, it was a crimson red.

He understood; this was perhaps a dragon vein formation.

The formation of dragon veins is not fixed, nor is it only hidden in mountains and forests, nor does it only exist in famous mountains and rivers. That is a narrow understanding of dragon veins.

True dragon veins can also be forged with passion, popularity, and fortune.

Therefore, the awe-inspiring dragon vein before us is crimson, relying neither on the veins of towering mountains and forests nor on the aura of famous rivers and streams.

It is what it is.

Forged in blood, their backbone remains unbroken, their spirit undiminished, their glory immortal.

Upon suddenly seeing such a powerful dragon vein formation, Chen Han was startled and walked forward, trying to get as close as possible to the edge of the Baiyun Temple feng shui formation.

Master Xuan and Master Xuanhe followed after them with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

Could it be that the Chen family head has discovered something?

When Chen Han reached a suitable position, he disregarded the two Taoist priests behind him and took out the Five Emperors Sword to try to sense the dragon vein formation.

In that instant, he felt the new Five Emperors Sword in his hand tremble and sensed a terrifying aura, as if he were instantly surrounded by towering waves.

He immediately stopped sensing and put the new Five Emperors Sword back into the game's inventory.

So terrifying.

Master Xuan and Master Xuanhe, who followed behind, were utterly shocked by what they saw.

It's that Five Emperors Sword again.

There was no clue as to where the Chen family head had placed the sword.

I am always awestruck when I see it.

Most importantly, they became increasingly certain that the Five Emperors Swords were closely related to feng shui formations.

However, they also acquired and searched for a lot of Five Emperors Coins to make copper coin swords, and even followed the example of the Chen family head to search for coins to make alternative Five Emperors Swords.

They simply found no use for the Five Emperors Sword, nor did they discover anything special about it.

They naturally wouldn't know that the Five Emperors Swords possess different energies and belong to different dynasties. If these energies cannot be refined into one, they simply cannot activate their effects.

If it weren't for the weapon-refining furnace with the game system, Chen Han wouldn't have been able to create the Five Emperors Sword.

As for the coins, they are probably not the first edition, so they are useless.

Chen Han now understands why the feng shui formation of Baiyun Temple, though complete, is completely ineffective, with only the edge of the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra" working.

Look at the scene depicted by this Feng Shui Record Stone; the Feng Shui formation of Baiyun Temple is directly under the claws of that crimson dragon.

All vital energy and terrain were completely sealed off.

How can this possibly produce any effect?
If the feng shui formation of Baiyun Temple can be integrated into this dragon vein and become a part of this greatness, then it can also form a "dragon playing with a pearl" pattern, which can also activate the feng shui formation.

The key issue is that they don't mesh well right now.

It must be that the feng shui technique has been lost, and Baiyun Temple doesn't have such a capable person, otherwise it should have dissolved into this crimson dragon when it was first born.

At that time, the crimson dragon's power shouldn't be too great, making that the best time to do this.

Such things were not uncommon in ancient times. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, before the Sui Dynasty had completely collapsed and Li Yuan had just established the Tang Dynasty, Wang Yuanzhi, a Taoist priest in the capital, had already helped to fabricate a decree from Laozi to create a divine mandate for the Li family.

A similar situation occurred when Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty established his capital.

Those Taoist elders all held relevant feng shui ceremonies when they gained the approval of the new dynasty, in order to achieve this goal.

Although Baiyun Temple is now an officially recognized Taoist temple and one of the city's famous scenic spots, no Taoist priest there has such ability; the feng shui has been lost.

This has led to the current awkward situation.

Moreover, this aspect of Baiyun Temple has probably been lost for a long time, because it is said that even the 'immortal remains' of their patriarch Qiu Chuji were left here when he founded the temple.

There are also legends about "Xiantian Gong".

This is no less impressive than Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Chuan.

However, after the Yuan Dynasty, each generation of Baiyun Temple was officially recognized by the new dynasty, but the related mystical practices did not continue.

This indicates that the feng shui formations were already lost during the Yuan Dynasty, and that they have been suppressed in every dynasty, just like they are now, and have never been activated.

This is probably similar to Wudang. Master Zhang Sanfeng hid the key information, and Wudang never found it, so things remained the same.

One thing is certain: the perfectly preserved feng shui formation of Baiyun Temple is definitely superior to that of Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak. If the formation can be activated, it may even be more powerful than Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak.

It's a pity that he doesn't understand any of the feng shui rituals involved.

Moreover, and importantly, such a magnificent behemoth is beyond the reach of ordinary people; its power can be felt from afar, and even with the Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone, he is powerless against it.

Perhaps one day when he obtains the map of the mountain dragon vein, he can use the new Five Emperors Sword to explore the attributes that affect the dragon vein and try to integrate the feng shui formation of Baiyun Temple into this dragon vein formation.

Whether it can be done or not, we'll only know when that time comes.

Chen Han casually put the Feng Shui Dragon Record Stone into his game inventory, without telling Master Xuan or Master Xuanhe about it.

Talking about it would only increase the two Taoist priests' distress, and even make them anxious and uncertain, which would not be good.

Therefore, seeing the expectant looks from Master Xuan and Master Xuanhe, he could only say, "Masters, my feng shui skills are limited. Even if you have the feng shui formation diagram, I cannot solve your problem for now. However, I will definitely give it a try when I have the ability."

If the conditions are right, he would give it a try even if the two Taoist priests didn't invite him.

Upon hearing this, the two Taoist priests' expressions changed slightly. Even with a feng shui formation diagram, they couldn't solve it?

This is undoubtedly a huge problem, and the key issue is that they didn't see it at all.

Most importantly, if the Chen family head can't handle it, they can forget about it.

However, they did not press the matter further. After all, having cultivated for so long, they could still adjust their mindset. Knowing that Patriarch Chen had said so, they knew they couldn't force the issue.

Otherwise, the Taoist feng shui would not have been lost for so long.

Fortunately, the head of the Chen family said that he would definitely give it a try if he had the ability, which can be considered a promise.

As long as they continue to associate with this person and stay close to him, he will not forget this matter.

Chen Han didn't plan to stay in Beijing for long, and soon booked a flight back that evening.

However, before leaving, he still had to complete the second condition of the "show of force" mission.

Therefore, he specifically asked Master Xuanshi a favor: "Master Xuanshi, could you please prepare a gift box for me?"

“Okay, I’ll prepare it for Patriarch Chen.” Master Xuan replied and went to prepare it. Before long, he brought the gift box that Chen Han wanted to him.

The gift boxes were decorated with Taoist Bagua and Yin-Yang fish patterns, clearly indicating that they were gift boxes that Baiyun Temple already had, which perfectly met the requirements.

Chen Han also brought the gift box to a rest room at Baiyun Temple.

Master Xuan and Master Xuanhe did not follow them inside. It was obvious that Patriarch Chen was preparing some kind of gift, and it was not proper for him to peek at someone else's gift.

After opening the gift box, Chen Han took out two items.

Those were two pieces of alloy metal.

He had refined these two pieces of metal in a forging furnace when he was bored, and they both acquired special properties.

Moreover, both metals have the following special properties: corrosion resistance +1, strength +1, ductility +1, and high temperature resistance +1.

Well, when this stuff was made, it was also the time he planned to give it to his superiors as a gift, because it was suitable for making special weapons and could definitely revolutionize a single type of weapon.

Most importantly, this metal is also suitable for survival in space, meaning it is suitable as a material for spacecraft.

It's important to know that while various countries are researching this type of material, there hasn't been much progress.

Studying these two pieces of metal now will definitely advance this field significantly.

This time, the mission to intimidate them happened to have the condition of "sending a gift before leaving, letting the other party know that the Chen family's strength is not limited to formations."

This special metal corresponds perfectly to the Taoist sect's weapon-making expertise, since the initial step in weapon-making is tempering metal.

Most importantly, with the matter of feng shui at stake, the higher-ups have started to actively contact him, and there has even been this test. So he should greet them in return.

This is perfect for greeting people.

If it weren't so abrupt, or likely to arouse any speculation, he would have liked to take out the AK he had refined last time for his superiors to study.

That thing, once it's produced, should be able to become the mainstream weaponry for modern armies, rendering other rifles obsolete.

After all, a +1 range, -1 recoil, and +1 power make it practically a god-tier weapon on the modern battlefield.

Thinking it over, he put the two pieces of metal into the gift box and resealed it.

As evening approached, he prepared to head to Beijing Airport to return to Linhe County.

Baiyun Temple prepared a car for him.

Master Xuan and Master Xuanhe personally saw them off.

Before leaving, he went to the Academy of Sciences and made a phone call to Director Qiu.

Director Qiu came out immediately after receiving the call from the newly appointed Grand Secretary, but he did not expect that the other party would directly hand him a gift box.

"Grand Secretary Chen, what is this?" Director Qiu asked, puzzled. Chen Han smiled and said, "Director Qiu, this is a gift. You should know who to give it to. After all, didn't you also help arrange for me to stay at Sima Chengzhen's residence?"

Director Qiu was embarrassed when he heard this, realizing that this person already knew.

While he was still wondering what was going on, the other car had already left, so he had no choice but to get into his own car, make a phone call, and head to Sima Chengzhen's residence.

When he got off the bus at the destination, he took the gift box and walked inside, where he saw Minister Ma leading people to conduct tests.

Seeing that people were busy, he stood by and watched.

Minister Ma and his entourage were fiddling with a lot of instruments, and some of them were even carrying a special longsword made of five-cent, ten-cent, and one-yuan coins.

Upon seeing this longsword, he was reminded of the commonly known copper coin sword.

At this moment, the coin sword was fixed to a special instrument.

Minister Ma naturally led a team to re-inspect Sima Chengzhen's residence. Since the Chen family head had repaired the feng shui arrangement here, they needed to understand the situation.

Holding the instrument, one person said with an incredulous look, "The air quality has improved significantly; it's truly excellent for the air quality in Beijing."

Another person said, "The temperature is kept at a mild and comfortable level. There is a big temperature difference just one wall away. The feng shui arrangement here alone has achieved this effect."

"If we rely solely on modern technology, it would require a lot of high-tech products to achieve this level. This feng shui is truly amazing."

A professor wearing glasses smiled and said, "Everyone should go back and write a paper about today's discovery."

Upon hearing this, Minister Ma calmly replied, "Papers, papers. Only things you've created yourself qualify you to write papers. You've spent so much time on this and written a ton of papers, yet it's still not as good as what others have done in such a short time."

This embarrassed the bespectacled professor, who clearly sensed the leader's dissatisfaction.

But as an expert and professor, he still found an excuse for himself: "No one can compare to Grand Secretary Chen. He is an expert in this field. Feng Shui books and Feng Shui science originated from his side."

This was practically patting Chen Han on the back, leaving Minister Ma helpless.

It seems we really should weed out some people.

Then, he walked over to the coin sword and asked, "Check out the new situation."

This coin sword was created after they studied the Chen family head and saw that he had made the Five Emperors Sword.

They also knew the original copper coin material of the Five Emperors Sword, and that it was divided into the Great Five Emperors and the Lesser Five Emperors.

Having witnessed the Five Emperors Sword crafted by the Chen family head, they were able to deduce his thought process. Therefore, they found these first-edition coins and crafted a Five Emperors Sword.

They didn't know how to use the Five Emperors Sword, but the Academy of Sciences had previously developed a micro-fluidic device, which was the same device used to fix the coin sword.

It just so happens that a genius in geography came up with the idea of ​​combining the two.

As long as the instrument stimulates the coin sword with an initial wave, the coin sword seems to be able to cause a resonance and response from the surrounding terrain, and then respond to the wave in varying degrees of intensity to determine the direction.

Clearly, the first batch of coins they obtained directly from the source had the strongest luck.

The key point is that these coins are all from the same dynasty, so they don't need to be refined; they are the Five Emperors Sword, which embodies the same destiny.

If Chen Han knew this, he would definitely be very moved.

This is a resource at the level of principle. Even after he asked Liu Ye, a wealthy man, for help, he still only managed to collect these Wuchang coins to make a sword.

If it were any other Taoist sect, they would probably find it difficult to even obtain a Five Emperors Sword.

The instrument was immediately turned on and began to probe. After a short while, someone reported: "The sensing fluctuations are indeed stronger, and the trend is more obvious."

Minister Ma nodded and instructed, "Analyze the route diagram in detail to see if we can use it to draw a feng shui formation diagram, and whether there is any experience to follow."

Just then, Minister Ma saw Director Qiu and greeted him with a smile: "Director Qiu, what brings you here? I must thank you for your cooperation this time."

Director Qiu quickly said, "Minister Ma, that's all we should do. But there's a gift box left by the Chen family head that's for your side."

"Left by Patriarch Chen?" Minister Ma was taken aback and immediately took the gift box.

They had already witnessed the strength of the Chen family head, and now that they saw that the other party had left a gift, they naturally dared not be negligent.

It might be some feng shui book, or something related to this feng shui formation.

But when he hurriedly opened the gift box and saw what was inside, he was completely dumbfounded.

There were actually two pieces of metal inside?
Why would the head of the Chen family send two pieces of metal out of the blue?
The key point is that these were also gifts from the Chen family head, so he didn't dare to be negligent, as he always felt that these two pieces of metal were not simple.

So he immediately took out his phone and made a call.

After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly went out, got into his car, and headed to an official laboratory.

This laboratory is clearly unusual; soldiers stand guard at the entrance, indicating it is a classified metal research laboratory.

He directly used his authority to instruct the people here to set up a team for him to study and analyze the two pieces of metal.

After handing the metal to a research leader, he left the laboratory and returned to his office, where he looked again at the coastal map and the painted sea tower.

After that, he opened an encrypted document on his computer to check the progress of the feng shui approach to the department during this period...

time flies.

The next day, Minister Ma got up early, quickly tidied his appearance, and then went to a leader's office to report on the feng shui breakthrough and the repair of the feng shui formation at Sima Chengzhen's residence.

Just as he finished reporting to his superior and returned to his office, his phone rang.

It's the number of that metal research laboratory.

Upon answering, a hurried inquiry came from the other end: "Minister Ma, where did the metal you delivered yesterday come from? It's unbelievable, unbelievable..."

"What are the analysis results?" Minister Ma knew from the conversation on the other end that the metal was definitely not simple, so he immediately asked.

The other party said excitedly, "That metal is incredible. Not only is its strength excellent, but its toughness is also excellent. Moreover, its corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance are extremely strong, far surpassing similar products we have studied."

"Moreover, through testing, this metal is almost at the standard for use in space combat. This thing will definitely put us far ahead of other countries."

When the words "standards for use in space combat" were uttered, Minister Ma's face showed an expression of disbelief.

Even if we've only just gotten close.

Because he knew what this meant. Unlike satellites orbiting the Earth, this was meant to penetrate deep into space and even reach the standards for combat in special environments.

Countries are working towards this goal.

The two pieces of metal that Patriarch Chen has taken out are now almost there. How surprising is that?
Minister Ma hung up the phone and rushed to the laboratory. Upon arriving, he immediately found the person in charge of metal testing and said, "Show me the test data."

The person in charge didn't hesitate and handed over the test data immediately.

Minister Ma hurriedly checked the data and was increasingly astonished; the Chen family head had truly given them a great gift.

The person in charge couldn't help but ask, "Minister Ma, where did these two pieces of metal come from?"

Upon hearing this, Minister Ma instinctively said, "It might have been refined in a Taoist alchemy furnace or weapon-refining furnace."

"Huh???" The person in charge was stunned. The image of a Taoist alchemy furnace or weapon-refining furnace subconsciously came to mind.

I imagined the surreal scene of wood burning at the bottom of the stove and steam billowing from the top.

How can such a metal be refined?

really?
...

As noon approached, there were fewer cars heading to Chenshi, because at this time, tourists in both Linhe County and Chenshi were already looking for places to eat.

Chen Han took a taxi from the train station back to the Chen family.

Because the road from Linhe County to Chenshi has been completely repaired, the road surface is fast, the car is more stable on it, and the scenery along the way is better.

"Patriarch Chen, the Chen family's back mountain has been under development. There should be new projects coming out soon, right?" The driver was very excited to pick up Patriarch Chen, and they had been discussing this issue the whole way.

"Yes, we will. We plan to build a campsite." That was all Chen Han could say. To be honest, the opening of the back mountain is currently mainly for sightseeing. They are still developing forest paths and laying stones.

In particular, the ornamental pine forest, bamboo forest, and plum forest will eventually become an ornamental garden.

With Chen's unique air and climate, and if the ornamental forest environment is also good, it will definitely attract tourists, and the number of tourists visiting Chen will increase significantly.

The decision to set up the campsite was based on the camping experience we had on the mountaintop last time. The back mountain is so big that we could set aside a spot as a campsite.

Especially when the weather gets colder, camping sites in other places will basically close down, so Chen's camping at this time can create a seasonal contrast.

Anything, regardless of the season, becomes attractive when there's a change in season.

However, these projects are quite modern and can be seen elsewhere, so they lack distinctive features.

In particular, there are projects that lack the unique characteristics of a Taoist family lineage.

As he was thinking, a game notification suddenly appeared in his mind:

During this trip to the Immortal Alliance headquarters, you showed those who were unconvinced the capabilities of the Chen family, especially their expertise in formations.

Congratulations on receiving the Formation Gift Pack x1!

Upon seeing the game notification, Chen Han knew that the second condition of the "show of force" mission had been completed, and the notification should have revealed the properties of the two pieces of metal.

This was the first time he had obtained a formation gift pack, and he immediately opened it out of curiosity.

The game prompt appears again:

[Congratulations! You have opened a Formation Gift Pack and obtained: Taoist Maze (Beginner) Jade Slip!]

The mission was to demonstrate the Chen family's mastery of formations to those who were unconvinced, but the reward was a Taoist maze (beginner level). Doesn't that seem a bit odd?
However, this was also the first method of setting up an array that he had obtained.

This is completely different from feng shui formations.

Chen Han immediately looked at the extra jade slip in the game inventory, and his eyes lit up when he saw the notes.

I just mentioned that the development of the back mountain lacks projects with the characteristics of Taoist lineage and family tradition.

Isn't this something we can get right away with?
