Chapter 108: Rogue Cultivators Make Offerings! Genuine Demonic Path Gear!
Ming Di watched the Chen Family Head’s new video and finally understood what was going on with the barrage in the live stream room.
In the Chen Family Head’s video, new demonic cult rogues appeared. At the beginning, there were two people surrounded by that group of doggies.
Yet in the video he posted today, he happened to say he would send the gathered rogues to deal with the Chen Family Head.
But that was only for the sake of the plot, something he made up casually. He did not actually have any rogues under him at all, and the rogues in the Chen family’s video had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Now these viewers had really taken those people as ones he sent?
No, it was one thing for him to play at being abstract, but how were these viewers acting even more abstract than he was?
When the video showed those demonic cult rogues walking right into the trap and getting beaten into pig heads one by one, he subconsciously swallowed.
The Chen clan people were way too ruthless toward demonic cult rogues.
If he were the one taking those hits…
After all, he was now also a demonic cult rogue. In this regard, he had a very strong sense of immersion, and his cheeks faintly ached.
Just as he was thinking this, an even more shocking scene occurred. That beautiful junior sister of the Chen Family Head turned out to be an expert as well, and with one sword, she slit the throat of the demonic cult rogue holding the watermelon knife.
When that demonic cult rogue still refused to yield, the Chen Family Head’s beautiful junior sister swung her groin-striking sword, making him cry out, “Damn, that’s brutal!”
Seeing that rogue clutching his crotch and squatting in pain, he felt his own eggs ache a little. The sense of immersion was deeper than ever before, because he had once been in danger of having his eggs crushed too.
Moreover, he could be sure that he definitely could not block that junior sister’s sword.
How was it that everyone in the Chen clan seemed to be an expert?
The growing audience in the live stream saw Ming Di’s wonderfully animated expression turn ugly at the end and started to jeer:
“Haha, no need to guess. Ming Di must have remembered something bad when he saw that egg-smashing sword technique.”
“Ming Di, your little eggs can withstand the beak of the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose, but can they withstand that sharp sword?”
“666, seeing Ming Di’s face change, this demonic cult rogue must really have something to do with him.”
Ming Di did not dare respond to that kind of talk. After all, those demonic cult rogues had all been caught by the police uncles. If he really dared to say he sent them, the police uncles would probably come looking for him immediately.
However, faced with this heaven-sent popularity, he could not just waste it. He could only dodge the point and pretend to be angry as he said, “Damn it, I never thought the Chen clan’s strength would be so great. I will not give up. I must rescue the Dog Demon King Brothers.”
His words made the live stream audience kick up even more of a fuss:
“Haha, Ming Di rogue, I support you going to challenge the Chen Family Head’s junior sister right now.”
“Go on, let us see whether your eggs are harder, or junior sister’s sword is harder!”
“Xiao Yu Za: my sword already wants to see blood again, come on, rogue!”
“…” Ming Di looked at the viewers in the live stream always picking the sore spot and felt completely speechless. At this time, could they not talk about something happy?
So he immediately played the Chen Family Head’s performance of 《Sword of Fate》: “Everyone, listen to this 《Sword of Fate》. You all know what kind of flute this song is played with. That’s right, it is this Jade Bamboo Demonic Flute in my hand. Today’s discount price…”
…
At this time, Chen Han was also looking in surprise at some of the comments on the newly uploaded video:
“Chen Family Head, I report that these demonic cult rogues were sent by Ming Di.”
“Haha, the demonic cult rogues sent by Ming Di were dealt with so quickly.”
“……”
He was genuinely a little stunned. Those bandit groups had been lured in by his fishing tactic, so how had they been dragged into having anything to do with Ming Di?
He searched out of curiosity and also saw the video Ming Di had filmed today.
He had not expected such a coincidence, but that guy had indeed brought quite a bit of popularity and discussion to his video.
While he was thinking this, the game prompt appeared again:
【Beginner Refinement Talisman Stone Fragment （Demon） refinement succeeded on the current item. Congratulations, you have obtained a beginner magic qi prop: Refined Demonic Qi Ring!】
Chen Han hurriedly checked the game warehouse and indeed saw that the rune light entwining the Eight Trigrams Ring had disappeared, while faint runes had appeared on the ring itself. He also saw the remark information:
【Refined Demonic Qi Ring: this is a magic qi prop refined using a Beginner Refinement Talisman Stone Fragment （Demon）. It possesses a beginner evil skill of the demonic sect: Hemorrhoid Infliction!
Hemorrhoid Infliction: after using true qi to activate the refinement runes on the ring, you can channel a thread of demonic energy to attack the target. The demonic energy will make the target suffer severe hemorrhoid torment for 10 days, accompanied by pain when sitting or standing, pain when walking, pain when defecating… and various other negative attributes!】
After seeing the remark information of this ring, Chen Han subconsciously swallowed.
Too cruel.
If there is any human illness that is pure torture, hemorrhoids are definitely one of them. This skill might not have great power or spectacle, but used to punish ordinary people, it was truly a terrifying weapon.
Everyone knew that hemorrhoids alone were already torture, making life worse than death. And this was severe torment, with pain when sitting, standing, walking, and defecating… all kinds of negative effects. It was truly hard to imagine.
It would probably feel like crushed glass shards repeatedly rolling and grinding in that part.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously swallowed again.
The key is that with normal hemorrhoids, you can go to the hospital, get some medicine, maybe get an IV, and recover fairly quickly.
But now, under demonic energy’s influence, even doctors would have no way.
So this kind of torment absolutely counted as cruel punishment, a demonic sect method.
Although he was a righteous person, if he did not study demonic sect methods, how could he better deal with the demonic sect?
So he directly put the refined Eight Trigrams Ring on his finger. This was all for better dealing with demonic cult rogues by studying and using their methods.
He believed that fellow daoists of the righteous path would understand him.
Besides, this was a good method of minor punishment as a warning. He was even starting to want to experiment with it.
However, this kind of skill could not be tested on people inside the family, and it could not be used on tourists either. If he experimented randomly, not only would this prop be a magic qi prop, but the person would also be a demonic cult rogue.
Of course, if there really were those extremely obnoxious, shameless tourists, then there would be no need to be polite. He would not show bottomless tolerance just because they spent a little money coming to the Chen clan for tourism.
Also, many scenic spots had that kind of bizarre troublemaking tourist that the scenic spot had no way to control and could only call the police in the end.
Now that he had this method, why bother calling the police?
Once the Hemorrhoid Infliction skill took effect, they would no longer have the mood to make trouble. All their energy would be gone.
If it were some other symptom, a shameless person could still claim they got sick from eating something in the scenic spot or whatever. The key here was, they would be too embarrassed to say they had hemorrhoids.
Honestly, if someone tried to blame hemorrhoids on the scenic spot, that kind of crazy story going online would guarantee everyone in the country would know them the next day. It would be straight-up social death.
He could even, when the other party was making trouble, tactfully remind them this was a place dedicated to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation. To cause trouble without reason was disrespect toward the deity. Then, when they suffered such severe hemorrhoid torment, they would have to ask themselves why. Should they not have some self-awareness?
He really hoped his luck would let him meet such a tourist so he could test this skill.
So he decisively left the room, went out into the courtyard, and started looking for a target within the Chen clan.
It was just a pity that after walking around the Chen clan, he found all the tourists very well-mannered. He did not encounter such a person at all.
Next, he went to take a look at the market side.
The market had long been completed. It was located to the east, between the village and the Chen clan.
A large archway had already been erected there, with the words “Chen Clan Cultivation Market” written on it.
There were even several pretty girls taking photos under the archway. When they saw Chen Han, they greeted him with surprise:
“It is the Chen Family Head!”
“Chen Family Head, you are so handsome!”
One girl even shouted boldly.
Hearing this truth, Chen Han walked over, flipped his palm, took an apple from the warehouse, and handed it to that girl. “You are very beautiful too.”
“Ah…” The girl received the apple and immediately looked delighted.
The other girls exclaimed as well, suddenly remembering the stories online that the Chen Family Head would conjure apples for tourists. They had not expected to be so lucky as to actually encounter it.
And just now, they truly had not seen how the Chen Family Head produced that apple.
Chen Han also walked into the market. Today, more than 200 rooms had been booked in the Chen clan’s accommodation. Some were couples or families sharing a room, so the number of tourists definitely exceeded
So the market side was very lively, with plenty of tourists, and naturally plenty of villagers from the village coming to sell their goods. Some had already set up stalls.
After looking around, Chen Han did not find any particularly obnoxious tourists. Instead, many villagers from Shangyuan Village spotted him and hurried over from their stalls to give him things:
“Chen Family Head, try my peaches.”
“Chen Family Head, try my yang mei!”
“……”
“These are cucumbers I grew myself. Chen Family Head, take some back to try!”
One by one, the villagers were very enthusiastic. They all addressed him uniformly as Chen Family Head, clearly having been briefed by Village Chief Guo Zhen. This village chief certainly knew how to handle people.
Before long, Chen Han received several small bags filled with things. It was not a lot, but it was clearly the villagers’ goodwill.
Then a sudden game prompt drew his attention:
【Because of the Chen clan’s prestige in repeatedly driving away demonic cult rogues, protecting the peace of the surrounding area, and establishing a cultivation market to give nearby rogue cultivators a safe place to trade cultivation resources, some rogue cultivators are very grateful to you and have offered a Yellow Spirit Gourd!】
Chen Han looked in surprise at the extra cucumber in the warehouse… No, it was a Yellow Spirit Gourd. Although it looked the same on the surface, the name was different.
He recalled the previous situation when he obtained the Rat Spirit Fruit. Back then, it was also after an uncle in the village gave him yang mei and peaches that the game system triggered the offering plot from rogue cultivators. Now there was another offering.
Which meant that in the future, he should often stroll around the cultivation market. He might get unexpected rewards.
Chen Han immediately checked the remark information of this Yellow Spirit Gourd:
【This is a special Yellow Spirit Gourd, thick in size, with small granules on the surface, and seems to have a peculiar function.
Moreover, it is a very peculiar spirit gourd. After juicing, it has very special effects: skin whitening +2, breast enhancement effect +2!】
The effects of this Yellow Spirit Gourd made him gape.
The cultivation world also had spirit gourds that focused on this kind of effect?
No wonder those female cultivators all had fair skin and good figures.
Even without body-shaping effects from cultivation, eating more of this kind of spirit gourd would make one juicy and radiant.
It was just that he had no use for this. As a grown man, he did not need to be fair, and he definitely did not need breast enhancement.
He thought of his junior sister and Xiao Mi. Maybe they would be very happy with this.
Especially his junior sister. Though her figure was quite good, it seemed not as ample as Xiao Mi’s.
Girls would surely hope to be a bit more endowed.
Just as he was thinking this, Chen Han saw his great uncle-grandfather Chen Da Pao, wearing an armband labeled “civilization supervision,” walking over with two elderly men. Because the number of tourists had increased and more villagers were selling things at the market, his junior sister had arranged for two family elders to help.
Great uncle-grandfather Chen Da Pao walked with his hands behind his back, looking very serious as he inspected.
He even spotted two tourists in a quarrel over a small dispute. The three old men walked up, and before they even said anything, the quarreling tourists dispersed on their own.
See, that was the deterrent power of the Chen clan family elders.
“Family Head.” Chen Da Pao also saw Chen Han and immediately led the two old men forward to greet him with great respect.
As the older generation, they had a strong sense of clan identity. Now that the Chen clan was doing better and better, they felt increasingly proud, and naturally knew whose merit this was.
“Great uncle-grandfather, there are no problems with working here, right?” Chen Han asked.
“Family Head, you can rest assured leaving this cultivation market to us three old men.” Chen Da Pao grinned in assurance. He had enjoyed working at the vegetable market in the town before. Now, working within the family and getting 3,000 a month, he was full of motivation.
The other two family elders immediately pledged as well.
Chen Han nodded and left the market, heading back to the Chen clan grounds. Over the following time, he wandered all over the family estate, but still did not find a despicable tourist he could use to test the Hemorrhoid Infliction skill of the magic qi ring.
Having great power yet nowhere to test it was truly frustrating.
So there was nothing he could do but give up and wait for a destined person another time.
At dinner time, Chen Han took out the Yellow Spirit Gourd from the warehouse and went to Uncle’s Kitchen. Seeing that his uncle had almost finished preparing dinner, he found a juicer and began dealing with the Yellow Spirit Gourd, finally making two glasses of Yellow Spirit Gourd juice, planning to let his junior sister and Xiao Mi try it.
After a moment, his junior sister and Xiao Mi arrived. His junior sister came to him with an unhappy face. “Senior brother, in your video’s comment section, someone gave me the nickname ‘Junior Sister of the Throat Slitting and Groin Striking Sword.’ It is too awful. They even call me a vicious witch. I am clearly very gentle. Senior brother, please delete those comments for me.”
She clung to Chen Han’s arm playfully, his arm pressed against her chest. He really felt his junior sister needed the Yellow Spirit Gourd juice. Smiling, he said, “I will delete them for you. This gourd juice is good for girls. You and Xiao Mi each drink a glass.”
As he spoke, he handed over the Yellow Spirit Gourd juice.
Seeing her senior brother agree to delete the comments, Xiao Yu smiled, took the two glasses of juice, and handed one to Xiao Mi. The two of them drank together.
“It has a special fruity sweetness. Very tasty,” Xiao Mi said in surprise.
“Yes, but I cannot tell what it is,” Xiao Yu nodded.
Chen Han took out his mobile phone, opened the newly posted video, and saw that the numbers were very good. It had already surpassed three hundred thousand likes, and the comment section was indeed filled with all kinds of feedback.
Those two sword moves of hers were truly too ruthless, making many lecherous viewers feel a twinge of egg-ache.
Based on those two sword strikes alone, the title “Throat Slitting and Groin Striking Sword” was well deserved.
But since his junior sister did not like it, he would just delete them.
Chen Lin soon served dinner. It was congee with three dishes.
Chen Han picked up the congee. Because he had a good appetite, he drank two big bowls in a row. Then, all of a sudden, he noticed that Xiao Mi and his junior sister seemed a little off. The two of them were suddenly a bit restless, their arms seemingly and subtly pressing against their chests. The movements were discreet, but he noticed.
No way.
Did it take effect so quickly?
Chen Lin suddenly looked at them. “Xiao Yu, Xiao Mi, why are your faces so red? Are you sick?”
“Uncle, I am full. I will go back first.” Xiao Mi suddenly stood up in a hurry. Before leaving, she gave Chen Han an embarrassed glance, as if asking what he had given her.
“Uncle, senior brother, I am full too. I am going back.” Xiao Yu also hurriedly got up and left together with Xiao Mi.
The two girls quickly returned to their courtyard. Xiao Mi saw that Xiao Yu was the same and knew that it must have been caused by what Chen Han had given them. She immediately pulled Xiao Yu into her own room and asked, “Xiao Yu, are you feeling swollen and uncomfortable there too?”
“Mm, it is so embarrassing!” Xiao Yu said, blushing.
“Loosen the bindings. It will feel a bit better.”
“Xiao Mi Jie, it really does!”
“Xiao Yu, you know how to massage, right? Let us help each other!”
…
After dinner, Chen Han returned to his room, took a careful bath, then once again put on his daoist robe and headed to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall to continue changing clothes, burning incense, and preparing for the upcoming consecration of the Statue of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.
But as soon as he reached the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall, he heard his aunt-grandmother and a tourist arguing.
“Devotee, please control the child. The altar cloth bears our respect for the way of demon subjugation and represents the solemnity of the deity. It cannot be pulled at will!”
“I am telling you, granny, he is just a child. What is wrong with letting him be?”
“Devotee, if a child is not taught, it is the parents’ fault. You should teach the child a sense of right and wrong.”
“I am asking what is wrong with the Chen clan? Still so superstitious? I spent money to come here to have fun, not to listen to you talk about gods. What era do you think it is?”
“Crash, bang!”
“Hey, you people…!”
Hearing something fall and a child crying, Chen Han quickened his pace, knowing something had gone wrong.
When he entered, he saw the altar cloth on the hall’s altar had been pulled down, and the offerings of tea, wine, and so on had been knocked to the ground.
A child was still crying there. From the cloth clutched in his hand, it was obvious this brat had been acting out, which made Chen Han frown and look at the nearby woman. Brats acting out were largely the parents’ responsibility.
After the host had already reminded her, she still had not controlled her child, and they even knocked over the altar offerings. This was absolutely extremely disrespectful behavior.
In a family that worshiped a deity, the altar cloth and the offerings were very important. Seeing his aunt-grandmother hurriedly squat to clean up while quietly praying to the Heavenly Lord to forgive, one could tell.
The woman, seeing her child crying, instead tried to take the lead in blaming them. “I am asking what is wrong with you Chen clan people? You did not place that piece of cloth properly. Look how it made my child cry.”
There was a saying online that one of the most unreasonable groups in the whole internet: the parents of brats.
He had not understood before, but now he had seen it firsthand.
He stared coldly at the woman. “Ms., are you not afraid of calamity befalling you for acting up in a place dedicated to a deity? Apologize to the elder and to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, and you may receive forgiveness from the deity.”
He had already raised his hand, thumb lightly rubbing the magic qi ring he wore. This was giving her a chance.
“Chen Family Head, I do not know what you are talking about. I know you know kung fu, but why would you argue with a little child?” The woman seemed very used to uttering this line. She had no intention of apologizing at all, and directly pulled the child to leave.
She really thought the Chen clan people were making a fuss over nothing, still believing in feudal superstition, small-mindedly arguing with a child.
She planned to tell her husband when she went back and have him send people to investigate this Chen clan and teach them a lesson, see who should be apologizing. They probably did not know her husband was the section chief of the county culture and tourism bureau.
The Chen clan would all fall under his jurisdiction.
“Blessing and calamity have no gate; they are summoned by people themselves.” Chen Han sneered coldly and channeled his true qi into the magic qi ring.
He also had to thank her for delivering herself as an experimental subject.
