Chapter 11: Severe Cultivation Fantasy Patient
The three of them could only think of this possibility.
If it was not the Chen Clan’s real medicinal cuisine, how could it have such a miraculous effect??
Chen Lin could not help asking, “Xiao Han, did you make this medicinal cuisine according to the Chen Clan’s recipe?”
“Uncle, I indeed stewed it according to the Chen Clan’s medicinal cuisine recipe.” Chen Han spoke honestly enough; it was just that the materials he used were dog demon meat.
So his earlier guess might be correct. The Chen Clan’s medicinal cuisine might truly be effective; it was just that ordinary materials did not work.
“Senior brother, what medicinal cuisine did you stew? It smells so good.” Xiao Yu’s voice came from outside. She stepped gracefully into the courtyard and was immediately attracted by the medicinal fragrance.
Seeing her arrive, Chen Lin hurriedly greeted her. “Xiao Yu, your senior brother has made real medicinal cuisine. Come and have a taste.”
As he spoke, he had already filled a bowl of medicinal cuisine for Xiao Yu and handed it over.
Xiao Yu had just been drawn by that medicinal fragrance. She had made those Chen Clan medicinal dishes herself, and none of them had such a rich and pleasant medicinal fragrance. Curious, she took the bowl and took a sip, then showed the same look of disbelief as the other three.
That warm, cozy feeling through her whole body put her in her best state, as if all the day’s fatigue had vanished.
This kind of miraculous effect was not something the medicinal cuisine she had eaten before could provide.
She subconsciously looked at Chen Han. “Senior brother, how did you do it?”
Naturally, Chen Han would not mention dog demon meat, so he made something up. “I have been studying the formula. I wondered if the problem was the materials, so I specially went to buy some more expensive ingredients and also studied the Chen Clan’s medicinal cuisine compendium. It especially emphasizes control of the heat. I have been thinking about this recently and gained some insight over the last two days, so I tried it. Just stewing this dog meat took more than four hours.”
“So long?” Chen Dagou said with a face full of disbelief. “The texture and chewiness of this dog meat do not feel like that at all. If you stew dog meat for more than four hours, it should be mush.”
“Yeah, it is too unbelievable,” Chen Shuisheng said, also full of surprise.
Chen Lin said, “So that is why the medicinal cuisine Xiao Han made has such a miraculous effect. Xiao Han, can we sell this medicinal cuisine to tourists?”
Chen Han quickly shook his head. “The materials are expensive. An ordinary person’s monthly salary is far from enough, and the key is it is hard to buy.”
The key was that there was not that much dog demon meat; he did not even have enough for himself.
Unless he later had a sufficient source of dog demon meat.
Hearing this, Chen Lin gave up the idea. If an ordinary person’s monthly salary was not enough, then even if they made it, no tourist could afford it.
Xiao Yu looked at Chen Han with sudden realization. “Senior brother, so you were not just sitting there slacking off all this time, but thinking about the medicinal cuisine?”
He was definitely slacking off. With only one month of lifespan before, he had completely given up, but he would not admit it. He even flicked his junior sister’s nose and pretended to be displeased. “Junior sister, you did not think I have been slacking off this whole time, did you?”
“No, no, how could I think that of senior brother?” Xiao Yu’s pretty face instantly turned embarrassed.
She had indeed thought that, and had secretly been angry at her senior brother for giving up, even thinking of complaining about him at their master and mistress’s grave. But she would not admit it.
Naturally, Chen Han would not fuss over such a matter.
Leaving his uncle’s courtyard and returning to his room to rest, Chen Han received a game prompt again:
【Congratulations, through the recorded image transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained one supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
This was another person who had seen his junior sister’s video of him making 10 apples disappear and came to follow him.
Although the video comment section all said he was using special effects, there were always bored people who found it interesting.
He checked the upgrade conditions for the sect residence location again: 100,000 money (25,400/100,000). 500 reputation (35/500)
From the time his junior sister uploaded the video until now, it had already received several thousand likes, but only about 20 people had followed him. According to his junior sister, even if the video eventually broke ten thousand likes, at most another 20 people would follow.
It was still too few.
He thought of the video of the dog pack battle he had shot today.
He should use the Spirit Shadow Mirror to post the recorded image of his risky investigation of the dog demon battle and let everyone know how much danger he had faced.
He also wrote a title: 《So many dog demons, the family is in grave crisis!》
Click upload!
After a while, he saw the view count ticking in the backend. It should be push stream PK, meaning people were watching the video.
Chu Hao was a rich second generation. He ran his own shop, had a house and a car, and his life was completely stress-free.
In his free time, besides traveling, he liked to scroll Douyin to pass the days.
Just now, he had scrolled to a video titled 《So many dog demons, the family is in grave crisis》. At first he thought it was some novel-style promo content.
But when he saw the video was of a group of doggies, and the person filming was speaking with a serious face, “Hello everyone, I am the Chen Family Head. Recently I discovered dog demons gathering outside the family. Demonic energy is surging. Today I risked tracking a group of dog demons to find out the truth,” he almost lost it.
The key point was that this person’s username was also “Chen Family Head.”
“The demonic energy here has become even denser. There must be a group of demons gathered, and not a small number. I must be more careful.”
Hearing the Chen Family Head’s voice again, Chu Hao was sure this guy was definitely a severe cultivation fantasy patient.
But he had to admit, the later scene of two groups of doggies arranging a showdown and fighting was somewhat shocking.
These doggies were like some underworld gang, right?
All in all, this video was fun. This Chen Family Head had opened up a new race track as a cultivation fantasy patient.
On a whim, he followed this Chen Family Head and left a comment: “Appraisal complete, the blogger is a severe cultivation fantasy patient.”
Moreover, he found the comments under the video really interesting:
“Insane plus, the blogger has even become a village guardian, forcing himself into the role of a cultivation protagonist blessed with luck.”
“Fellow Daoist, the bloodline of these dog demons is extraordinary. The green gleam in their eyes is proof. Their bloodline is definitely extraordinary. You must be careful.”
“Fellow Daoist, there are too many dog demons and the demonic energy is too strong. It cracked my mobile phone screen.”
“Fellow Daoist, according to my deduction of the great dao, you will become hugely popular on Douyin. Now I grant you a like, comment, and follow combo. May you attain the dao soon.”
“…”
Chu Hao was amazed that everyone in the Chen Family Head’s comment section was role-playing. It felt quite amusing.
Thinking further, this Chen Family Head’s act was a bit fresh and different. As long as it made everyone happy, what did it matter if he treated these doggies as dog demons?
Happiness was what mattered most.
…
In the room.
A look of joy began to appear on Chen Han’s face, because game prompts appeared in his mind one after another:
【Congratulations, through the recorded image transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained one supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
……
【Congratulations, through the recorded image transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained one supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
In a short time, 10 reputation points had been added; 10 more people had followed him.
He also saw those comments. Truly a crowd of cultivation big shots and immortal venerables had appeared, playing in his comment section.
However, while those people were doing comment section role-play, he was doing real person cultivation.
But none of that was important. What was important was that this really was a good way to increase reputation. After a while, another 5 people followed, adding 5 more reputation points, bringing his total to
This was faster than drawing traffic from his junior sister’s side.
Also, after some research, he found that likes, comments, reposts, and collections did not increase reputation. Only follows did.
With that in mind, he came up with an idea. He immediately picked up his phone to search and found some follower-boosting accounts on Taobao, and spent 20 yuan to order a small batch of followers.
He wanted to test if he could exploit some bug.
Soon, he saw a series of follow prompts appear in the Douyin backend.
But there were no game prompts.
“Holy crap, it does not count. Game system, you owe me 20 yuan.” Chen Han immediately felt a bit cheated.
Helpless, he could only put down his phone.
As night deepened, that feeling of fatigue returned. He had to set an alarm clock and go to bed.
The next day, near 5 o’clock, he woke again to the alarm. The first thing he checked was his reputation value:
Another 35 reputation points had been added.
He checked the video he shot yesterday. It had a total of 1543 likes and 54 comments.
But the numbers were no longer increasing.
For a first video, having such numbers was clearly quite good; the novelty of cultivation fantasy had attracted many people to join the fun.
He then checked his lifespan: 27 days, 18 hours, 26 minutes.
After that, he put on a set of short sleeves and shorts and hurried to the special spiritual aperture. He sat cross-legged quietly to wait.
At sunrise, the spiritual energy rinse of the special spiritual aperture began. The special energy once again flowed and spread around him. That feeling of every hair follicle relaxing and extreme comfort returned.
He closed his eyes to enjoy it. Only when the feeling faded did he open them.
He checked his lifespan again: 28 days, 5 hours, 55 minutes.
It had increased by another half day.
Next, he looked at the dog demon meat in the warehouse. Using this to make medicinal cuisine could still increase his lifespan by 12 hours a day.
In this way, he could at least guarantee covering a day’s consumption.
But there was only so much dog demon meat in the warehouse. He had to find a way to complete the task of provoking dog demon infighting. If the little earth dog and the others went at it again, they might drop more dog demon meat.
With that thought, he pulled out his phone to investigate why stray dogs fought. The information showed there were mainly two reasons: competing for food and competing for territory.
This, he did have a method for.
With that in mind, he returned to the Chen Clan. As soon as he reached the main gate, he saw three sedans entering the village and heading toward the Chen Clan. That meant tourists had arrived.
This was another chance to gain reputation.
He went into the warehouse of the tourist service center. It was stocked with some tourist supplies and fruit. He walked over to a pile of apples and stored a dozen or so.
For manifestation before people, he needed enough props.
When Chen Han returned to the main gate, he indeed saw his junior sister already welcoming nine people, six adults and three children, three couples bringing their children.
As he came over, he heard the leading young man sigh with emotion. “Uncle Zhao was right. The ancient buildings here really have an antique charm. Just from the outside, they are very attractive. I am quite looking forward to what it is like inside.”
The three women were each holding a child with one hand and using their phones to film with the other. The scenery truly had great ornamental value, and the shots on their phones looked beautiful.
Just standing outside, they felt the trip was worth it. They had not been deceived by Moments this time.
Hearing this, Chen Han roughly understood that they should be Mr. Zhao’s friends.
Seeing him arrive, Xiao Yu said with a smile, “Senior brother, Mr. Lin and the others came to visit on Mr. Zhao’s recommendation.”
Lin Nan also looked at Chen Han. From what Uncle Zhao had said, the Chen Clan’s young family head possessed an impressive inheritance ancient technique. Coming here, there might be a chance to witness it.
It should be this person.
“Mr. Lin, welcome to the Chen Clan,” Chen Han said with a smile as he walked over. He crouched in front of the little boy beside Lin Nan. “Little friend, big brother will give you an apple.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his empty hand and flipped his palm before the little boy. A bright red apple appeared in his hand, and he handed it to the boy.
“Wow!” The little boy exclaimed, grabbing Lin Nan excitedly. “Dad, this apple appeared from nowhere!”
Lin Nan was instantly stunned by the scene.
He had been staring at the man’s movements and was sure he had not been holding an apple before. And the man was in short sleeves and shorts, with nowhere to hide an apple.
This was the ancient technique Uncle Zhao had mentioned?
