Chapter 148: Liu Ye: Sure Enough, He Said He Believes In Science!
Chen Han finished refining the spiritual energy he had absorbed into his body. He opened his eyes and, as usual, sat on You Fu’s back, planning to go to his uncle’s place to make medicinal cuisine.
Today, that demonic path big shot had reserved a portion of medicinal cuisine, and it was likely he would also request it to be delivered.
But just after leaving the pavilion, he was surprised to see two figures outside: an old man and a monk.
Such a combination was rare.
But what was a monk doing at the Chen Clan?
Still, he only nodded slightly to them. Although in the mystic sect world, the struggle between Buddhism and Daoism had existed since ancient times, and even in modern times this contention still remained.
In the past they competed for worshippers; now they competed for tourists.
This could be seen from the mystic sect accounts on Douyin one after another. There was even a mystic sect holy land that had completely turned into a commercial company, racking its brains over tickets, more mercenary than merchants.
However, there had also always been harmonious relations between Buddhism and Daoism, so regarding this master visiting the Chen Clan, as long as he did nothing excessive, the Chen Clan would let him be.
Master Xin Yan already felt a bit flustered. When Chen Han glanced at him, he subconsciously wanted to lower his head, but then remembered he was at least a master, a master respected by everyone. He forced himself to endure the panic and smiled back at Chen Han.
Liu Ye watched this Chen Family Head, who had been in samadhi cultivating in the pavilion for so long, and then came out riding a cow to leave. He felt that this was exactly like one of those legendary enlightened experts.
…
Chen Han arrived at his uncle’s kitchen and took out the meat of the green feather pheasant from the game warehouse to start processing it.
In no time, two stew pots of medicinal cuisine were prepared. After adding medicinal herbs and water, he began stewing.
Then, he took out something else from the warehouse: the spirit flower pollen that had dropped yesterday when he sent the mysterious frost lion head geese to attack the thief demon bees.
This could be used to make spirit flower paste, which had a scar removal +2 attribute.
The so-called spirit flower paste should essentially be a scar removal cream.
So he wanted to try making some, so that he could treat the scar on his junior sister’s buttocks.
His junior sister would definitely be very happy.
There were actually many formulas for scar removal cream online. A quick search showed some that used special flowers as the main material. In the modern internet era, you really could find many things online.
And the formula using these flowers to make scar removal cream was very simple.
Take an appropriate amount of flowers, grind them into powder, then mix with olive oil in a 1:3 ratio and stir evenly. Finally, aloe vera: peel fresh aloe leaves, take the inner gel, mash it, and continue stirring according to the ratio. Then a simple scar removal cream would be successfully made.
In other words, he only needed to get olive oil and aloe vera gel.
He remembered his junior sister had olive oil.
She also grew aloe vera.
So he decisively called his junior sister.
Once the call connected, he said, “Junior sister, I need some olive oil and aloe vera gel, freshly extracted. I have researched something from a book.”
“Really? Senior brother, wait for me!” Xiao Yu’s voice was filled with curiosity. She hastily said this and hung up.
Not long after, she came into the kitchen with two small bottles and handed them to him. “Senior brother, here you go. This is olive oil, and this is aloe vera gel!”
Chen Han nodded, took the two small bottles, then grabbed a bowl and started making it. First he proportioned the spirit flower pollen and olive oil and stirred them.
Xiao Yu watched her senior brother busy at work, extremely curious. “Senior brother, what formula have you discovered this time?”
“A kind of scar removal cream!” Chen Han explained with a smile, then fabricated, “You have to take the dewy hearts of blooming peach blossoms and grind them into powder to make it work. I remember you were left with a scar on your butt when you were little, right? So I plan to make a special batch just for you.”
Making a scar removal cream using his junior sister’s butt scar as an experiment, versus making one specifically to heal her scar, were completely different things.
Sometimes, it was the same matter, but with different wording, and the effect would be completely different.
When his junior sister heard this, her eyes indeed turned watery as she looked at him and said, moved, “Senior brother, you’re so good to me!”
Her senior brother still remembered the scar she had from childhood, and was even specially making scar removal cream for her.
Such a simple scar removal cream was quickly made by Chen Han. The main thing was just to mix the three materials in proportion.
While his junior sister was not paying attention, he pinched off a small lump and stored it in the game warehouse, and saw the remark information:
【Spirit Flower Paste: This is a special ointment made from spirit flower pollen collected by the giant demonic bees. After application, it has a scar removal +2 effect!】
The ointment preparation was successful.
He handed the bowl of scar removal cream to his junior sister. “Take a look at this scar removal cream.”
“It’s done already?” Xiao Yu was a little surprised. In her mind, formulas her senior brother found in ancient books should require complicated procedures.
Now it was done so easily. It was completely different from what she had imagined, and felt like it lacked class.
“Try it. The effect will definitely be good!” Chen Han nodded.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately handed the bowl back to him. “Senior brother, you help me apply it!”
“???” Chen Han was confused. Help her apply it?
Wait, junior sister, do you not know where your scar is?
As he was thinking, his junior sister had already lifted the hem of her clothes and pulled down the waistband of her casual pants.
Chen Han did not have time to stop her. Just as he thought he was about to face an embarrassing kitchen scene, he realized she had only lowered the waistband a little bit.
Her scar was not on her buttocks, but slightly below her lower back.
He let out a breath of relief.
If it really were on her butt, he would not know whether he should help her apply it.
This scar of hers was not deep, only a few centimeters long. Normally it could not be seen under clothing. The only impact would be that once she had the man she loved, when he was behind her, it would slightly affect aesthetics.
But helping her apply it in this spot was no problem.
It was just that, while applying it, he still saw an awkward sight: black, lace…
He did not expect his junior sister to wear something so sexy.
In an instant, such a sight made him a bit unsettled as he helped her apply it.
After all, his junior sister was no longer the little brat she used to be, but a graceful, well-shaped great beauty.
And it seemed her butt was a bit perkier. Could it be the attribute from the sister body-shaping ring dropped from that first Joyful Union Sect demon person had taken effect?
Chen Han came back to his senses. Why had his focus suddenly gone off track?
He quickly finished applying it for her and then asked, “Junior sister, how does it feel?”
Xiao Yu looked surprised. “Senior brother, at first it felt cool and icy, now it feels warm and cozy. It’s hard to describe, and it’s also a bit itchy!”
“That means it’s working.” Chen Han understood. Scar removal meant skin regeneration and returning to normal; itching was normal.
This also showed how strong the scar removal +2 attribute was; it was already taking effect.
He instructed her, “Tell me the effect tomorrow.”
“Okay, senior brother!” Xiao Yu also knew that feeling definitely meant it was working, and working very strongly. Her senior brother had made another good thing.
If this really had a very strong effect, it would definitely be popular with female tourists.
Thinking of this, she asked, “Senior brother, can this only rely on peach blossom hearts with dew from blooming flowers? Is there any way to substitute with other flowers? If this could be mass-produced, it would be extremely popular.”
Chen Han glanced at the spirit flower pollen. These materials depended on drops and could not be mass-produced. For his junior sister, he could only make something up. “It has to be more than ordinary peach blossoms. Only the peach blossoms from those 10 mu of spirit field will work.”
“Is it the energy influence overflowing from the feng shui array?” Xiao Yu subconsciously guessed the reason.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Chen Han laughed.
Honestly, the feng shui array was just his excuse. Now he did not even need to bring it up; everyone could automatically supply that explanation.
This was good.
At this moment Xiao Yu remembered something. “Senior brother, there is something I need to tell you. Over on Xiao Mi Jie’s side, they have confirmed the guests for the national style event. There are five national style internet celebrities in total, plus me and Xiao Mi Jie. When the time comes, we will cosplay as the national style seven fairies. Also, this afternoon, Xiao Mi Jie’s people will start setting up a stage at the martial arts field.”
“Mm!” Chen Han nodded.
Previously, the consecration ceremony for the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation had already brought the Chen Clan a wave of popularity.
This time, the national style event had been carefully planned by Xiao Mi and would definitely make the Chen Clan break out even more.
Then he looked at the spirit flower pollen again. Judging from his junior sister’s application, the scar removal +2 effect was definitely strong.
If he could get more materials, he could make some to be used as rewards at the national style event.
By then, royal jelly, medicinal cuisine, and thunder bamboo spirit tea could also be used as rewards to raise the grade of the national style event.
As he was thinking this, a prompt suddenly appeared in the game task section for a daily task:
【Suddenly, you discover another surge of chaotic demonic energy above the Chen Clan. A mass of black cloud mist appears again, attacking the resident area of the giant demonic bee tribe subdued by the family!
It seems the previously defeated thief bees have gathered a swarm to attack again. Please quickly send out the family’s mysterious frost lion head geese!】
Chen Han’s eyes lit up. He had forgotten there was this daily task.
Apparently, before the thief bee problem was completely resolved, this daily task would continue to appear. He just did not know how many more times these thief bees would come.
Bees were very intelligent. Precisely because they were smart, once they suffered heavy losses, they would seek benefit and avoid harm, give up completely, and no longer dare to come.
Almost at the same time, his mobile phone ringtone sounded.
It happened to be a call from Uncle Dagou.
When he answered, Uncle Dagou quickly said, “Xiao Han, those thief bees are back. Yesterday’s method was very effective. Quickly bring those lion head geese over.”
“Got it!” Chen Han replied, left his uncle’s kitchen, and went to the spirit beast hall to control those lion head geese and lead them to the place where the bee boxes were.
Along the way, he once again attracted tourists’ attention, and many recorded videos of him.
Yesterday many tourists had filmed videos of the Chen Family Head controlling these lion head geese, and everyone who watched them was envious.
After all, people said you could not see this kind of performance anymore.
They did not expect to be lucky enough to see it again today.
Chen Han quickly led the lion head geese to the bee boxes and saw, as expected, dense swarms of bees fighting.
Without hesitation, he directly switched to the charge note. The mysterious frost lion head geese charged, and as if understanding tacitly, in that instant, the Chen Clan’s bees all retreated, flying back into the bee boxes and leaving the battlefield to the lion head geese.
After that, it was the same brutal massacre as yesterday. Under the attacks of over 100 lion head geese, any thief bees that got close to the bee boxes could not escape the flapping of their wings.
The fallen thief bees on the ground, even if not dead, had almost no chance of survival in the face of the smoke and fire from Chen Dagou and the others.
Soon, the thief bees turned into a routed swarm and fled into the forest.
At this moment, Chen Han’s eyes shone as he looked at the three floating clusters of white light.
Today, three more items had dropped.
He calmly collected them into the warehouse. One was another thief bee sting. Were they trying to make him change his surname to Dongfang?
Once he used sword control technique with this bee sting, it would really look the part.
The next was another batch of spirit flower pollen. The drop rate of this thing was quite high. He did not know, with the thief bees suffering such heavy losses every time, how many more times they would come. If more dropped, making special scar removal cream as rewards for the national style event would be no problem.
The last item was a primary spirit stone.
This really gave him the fun of playing a game with item drops.
He hoped these thief bees would come a few more times.
After dealing with the thief bees, Chen Han greeted Uncle Dagou, then sent the lion head geese back to the spirit beast hall.
When he returned to his uncle’s kitchen, he unexpectedly saw that old man and the monk again.
What a coincidence.
Liu Ye naturally also saw the Chen Family Head. He really wanted to go over now and talk with him, say hello, and ask whether his symptoms could be treated.
But now he could be completely certain that the Chen Clan was not simple, and this Chen Family Head was absolutely an expert. So he definitely could not treat him with the same attitude he used with people like Master Xin Yan.
Going up directly might be impolite, and might even make the other party feel disgusted.
He understood this very clearly. After all, many people wanted to see him, wanted to cozy up to him, to get a bit of an order from him or reach some cooperation.
Now that their positions were reversed and he was the one seeking help, he naturally knew how to behave.
So he had to wait for that Xiao Chu to introduce him.
That way at least he would not cause dislike.
Just then, he saw two police officers leading a young man in from outside the Chen Clan.
Captain Huang, seeing the Chen Family Head, immediately brightened and pulled the young man over. “Chen Family Head!”
Chen Han looked at this scene in surprise. “Captain Huang, what is going on?”
Thinking of the Joyful Union Sect demon person from last time, Huang Xin explained with implication, “Chen Family Head, this guy is a scalper. He was caught on the spot reselling Chen Clan feng shui room bookings to tourists.”
“This guy snapped up more than 30 rooms. We want to ask him where he bought the decoding purchasing equipment, but he is very tight-lipped.”
Chen Han was surprised. He really had not expected the Chen Clan to draw scalpers, and for one to snatch more than 30 rooms at once.
So scalpers were snapping up room bookings now?
But such scalping behavior was indeed illegal under article 52 of public security administration, and even article 227 of the criminal law.
This was not an exaggeration. For example, with room bookings, the scalper’s methods could allow wanted criminals and the like to get rooms and affect criminal cases.
And it would also affect the Chen Clan’s normal room booking resources.
So Chen Han would not allow such scum to exist. He directly asked the scalper, “You know where this place is, right? You should also know that we worship the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation here, right?”
“Above your head, three feet, there are deities. If you confess honestly now, you can still obtain the forgiveness of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation!”
As he spoke, Chen Han cast the truth spell divine ability on the scalper.
At first, when the scalper heard talk of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation and such, he was disdainful; he did not believe in any of that. But somehow, after hearing the Chen Family Head’s words, his mouth began to move uncontrollably. “I bought it from Brother Hai. He opened a tea leaves shop on Qikou Street in the county. He also does scalping himself. This is my first time doing this. I came to the Chen Clan to test it.”
After blurting it all out in one breath, he came back to his senses and was instantly dumbfounded. His face turned pale and he even panicked.
He had actually told the whole truth just now without daring to hide anything. Could the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation…
Huang Xin’s eyes lit up. As expected. Without hesitation, he took out his phone to make calls; this was no small case.
Not far away, Liu Ye and Master Xin Yan were watching this scene, both looking shocked.
Liu Ye could not help asking, “Master Xin Yan, does the great Buddha in your temple have such power to frighten people into telling the truth?”
“Huh???” Master Xin Yan was caught off guard and lost composure for a moment, because his mind was in turmoil.
Without an answer from Master Xin Yan, Liu Ye was even more astonished. He realized the impact on Master Xin Yan was significant.
While Huang Xin was on the phone, Chen Han returned to his uncle’s kitchen, boiled water, and added it to the medicinal cuisine. Before long, he received a call from Chu Hao, that demonic path rogue.
It was that demonic path big shot about to make his appearance. Chen Han hung up with a smile, then took a cup from the cabinet.
With a thought, he took out a bottle of dog demon spine wine he had prepared and poured a cup.
As for whether that demonic path big shot could drink this cup of wine, that would depend on his fate, whether he was the destined person.
Before long, the demonic path rogue Chu Hao appeared, bringing two men with him. What surprised Chen Han was that these two were precisely the old man and the monk he had seen twice.
So this old man was the demonic path big shot, and the master at his side might be from Ci Yun Temple or the like?
Chu Hao immediately introduced them. “Chen Family Head, sorry to bother you. This is Liu Dong, the one I mentioned to you. He would like to meet you.”
As soon as Liu Ye entered, he smelled the drifting medicinal fragrance. His eyes were immediately drawn to the two stew pots, and he knew they contained the same medicinal cuisine he had eaten yesterday.
When he heard Chu Hao’s introduction, he quickly said, “Chen Family Head, dropping in like this truly disturbs you. This morning, after touring the Chen Clan, I was deeply moved and inspired by the great righteousness of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, so I want to do good and make a contribution. I have already instructed my assistant to contact the bank and transfer some charitable donations to the Chen Clan’s account.”
Chen Han glanced at this Liu Dong. Obviously he had come to seek treatment for his symptoms, yet he did not mention it at all at first and instead spoke of being moved by the righteousness of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.
What surprised him even more was that almost at the same time, his phone received a bank transfer notice.
One hundred million had been deposited into the account, and it was marked as a donation to religion.
This demonic path big shot was interesting. He said “some charitable donations,” and it turned out to be one hundred million, directly helping him level up, right?
Liu Ye naturally knew the funds had arrived.
He had arranged it specially.
This was his way of expressing sincerity, hoping to gain the greatest favor in the eyes of this Chen Family Head.
After receiving the message, Chen Han looked at Liu Dong with a half-smile. “Mr. Liu, you are someone who pursues goodness. Perhaps this is your fate with the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.”
Facing this gaze, Liu Ye felt as if his thoughts were being seen through. He no longer dared conceal anything. “Chen Family Head, I have long been tormented by illness and developed very serious rheumatic paralysis symptoms. One of my knees is deformed.”
“I have visited hospital after hospital without a cure, and I will soon be confined to a wheelchair. So, shamelessly, I came to the Chen Clan seeking an audience, hoping to obtain your help.”
Chen Han had already known his purpose, but after hearing this, he replied with a gentle smile, “Mr. Liu, for illness you should go to the hospital and trust in scientific treatment. Our Chen Clan has no doctors.”
“……” Hearing this, Liu Ye subconsciously opened his mouth.
Earlier he had suspected that this Chen Family Head might not admit anything and would tell him to trust in science.
Now he really had said it.
This Chen Family Head was indeed different from people like Master Xin Yan. Money alone would not work.
But facing this “trust in science” statement, Liu Ye suddenly did not know how to respond.
If trusting science had worked, he would not have appeared here today.
Just as he was looking dejected, he saw the Chen Family Head pick up the cup on the table and hand it to him.
Chen Han said with a mild smile, “Mr. Liu, although our Chen Clan cannot treat illness, your heart for goodness is so steadfast that we should honor you with a drink. This is ordinary wine brewed by our Chen Clan. Please do not disdain it.”
“Ah…” Liu Ye stared in surprise at the cup of wine before him, his heartbeat inexplicably speeding up.
Could this wine…
