Chapter 249: Heart Light Escape Technique Is Awesome! Something’s Off With This Rapeseed Flower’s Growth Speed!
【Congratulations, you have completed the Immortal Alliance task, resolved the remnant nascent soul of Mao Tai, and obtained the reward: primary spirit stone x】
“???” Chen Han was completely confused when he saw this game prompt.
He had previously thought the Mao Tai task would be difficult. After all, there had been no trace for so long, with only the clue that Mao Tai liked to stir up conflicts.
So what was going on now? He had just received word that two villages had started fighting over rapeseed planting land, rushed over to check the situation, and before he even arrived at the scene, the game prompted that the task was completed?
Wasn’t this a bit too casual?
More importantly, the task was completed, and it was just 10 primary spirit stones?
What about the Heart Light Escape Technique he had been longing for?《 》
Wasn’t it said that Mao Tai carried this escape technique? After dealing with Mao Tai’s nascent soul, this escape technique should be given to him, right?
However, Chen Han also knew there was no way to reason with the game system, so he could only keep driving.
By the time he got out of the car at the scene, the fighting had already stopped, and everyone was gathered around the situation in the middle.
There were some people in the middle, one of whom was from the Chen Clan, wearing the Demon Subduing Hall uniform.
The others surprised Chen Han.
One was a young man in glasses, who was the secretary of that Mr. Liu.
That Mr. Liu had been recuperating at the Chen Clan for a long time, and Chen Han had run into his secretary a few times.
Then there were a few men in suits escorting a bald man.
The men in suits were clearly also Mr. Liu’s people.
As for the bald man, his hands were tied.
Chen Han understood what was going on.
In Shu Shan Swordsman, Mao Tai was from the Buddhist Sect, so this bald man should be the corresponding symbol.
Seeing the tattoos on his body, he was clearly some thug.
He was probably the one who had incited the villagers of the two villages to fight.
He just had not expected that Mr. Liu paid close attention to this project, sent people over, and his secretary happened to run into it and took care of it.
Which made sense. A thug facing the secretary of a tycoon like Mr. Liu would be crushed easily.
When Chen Han arrived, the person from the Chen Clan Demon Subjugation Hall hurriedly greeted him, “Patriarch.”
Mr. Liu’s secretary also greeted him with respect, “Patriarch Chen.”
“What happened?” Chen Han still asked.
The Chen Clan member immediately reported, “Patriarch, this is how it is. The roads of these two villages converge over there into one road that leads to the national highway, right?”
“This bald guy stirred things up, saying that in the future, when tourists come to view the rapeseed flower sea, whichever village’s side controlled that road section would get more tourists guided by the Chen Clan to their rapeseed flower sea, so they started fighting over it.”
“This guy was just looking for trouble. After that, Mr. Liu’s men came over. After understanding the situation, they explained things to both sides and dragged this bald guy out.”
Chen Han had not expected the cause to be this simple.
But thinking about it, Shangyuan Village had enjoyed so much tourism dividend from the Chen Clan by now; it was normal for other villages to be envious.
In the eyes of these villagers, the more tourists came to their section of the rapeseed flower sea, the more they would profit.
Even if it was just selling fruit, vegetables, and agricultural products like Shangyuan Village did, they could still make a lot.
For many people, this might be petty profit, but for many who stayed behind in the countryside, it was definitely a large income.
It was like how some people could casually spend ten or twenty thousand in a bar in one night, while others would agonize over whether they could save fifty cents on a toothbrush.
So, seeing the villagers from both sides looking at him, Chen Han stated, “Everyone, for this rapeseed flower sea planted by the Chen Clan, we will not guide tourists to any specific village. It will be entirely up to the tourists.”
“When the rapeseed flower sea is in bloom, whether tourists want to come to your village’s area is not something we can decide. Maybe what you sell tastes good, word spreads, and more tourists are willing to come.”
“Or if you start selling things irresponsibly and get exposed, maybe no one will want to come to your area, and even our Chen Clan will be scolded. When that happens, we will not be polite either.”
His words were meant as a warning.
The villagers understood this logic and all nodded, promising that such things would not happen.
“Alright, everyone, get back to work!” The supervisor in charge spoke up, guiding the villagers to continue planting rapeseed.
After all, hiring these villagers to plant rapeseed was paid for with Mr. Liu’s real money.
Right now, this was purely a waste of time.
Chen Han suddenly looked in surprise toward a certain spot.
A ball of light was floating there.
This made his heart race. To confirm, he asked the Demon Subduing Hall member, “Where was this bald guy pinned down?”
“There.” The Chen Clan man pointed. “This guy wanted to run, and I kicked him with a big slap fight.”
Chen Han smiled. The place he pointed at was exactly where the white light was floating.
Which meant that when Mao Tai was handled, an item drop had appeared.
He immediately walked over, pretended to inspect the area, casually collected the White Light into his warehouse, and then left while checking the remark information in the game warehouse:
【Heart Light Escape Technique: This is a very powerful escape technique of the Buddhist Sect. Its characteristic is that where the mind goes, the body arrives; at the moment of thought, one reaches. When cultivation succeeds, as long as the mind moves, one can instantly arrive at the desired place. Moreover, when performing the escape technique, golden light will surge around the body.
Restriction: The speed of the Heart Light Escape Technique will be affected by the cultivation level of the practitioner, resulting in different effects.】
When Chen Han saw that it was indeed this item, he could not suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
He now had the basic Sword Control Technique and the Spirit Jade Ball as a defensive magic treasure, so he was strong in both offense and defense.
If he were thrown into an army, as long as the Spirit Jade Ball was not broken, and he was given a few boxes of toothpicks, everyone knew what that would mean.
Now that he also had an escape technique, it was truly perfect. Even if he were surrounded and his true qi was severely depleted, he could use this escape technique to leave directly.
There was also the Insect Control Technique.《 》 If he could ever encounter killer bees and similar insects and refine them into an insect puppet, who could defend against such bizarre methods?
Although he had only opened up five of the eight extraordinary meridians, and in the Shu Shan Swordsman World he might still be a bottom-tier figure whose methods would look childish in the eyes of real experts,
in the present-day era of the decline of spiritual practice, with these methods, others might have to call him Old Ancestor.
Chen Han returned to the Chen Clan courtyard and immediately chose to use the Heart Light Escape Technique.《 》
A mass of complex information instantly surged into his mind, which he understood clearly.
It was exactly the cultivation content related to the Heart Light Escape Technique.《 》
He immediately began to study the contents of this escape technique and started cultivating.
The Heart Light Escape Technique was both difficult and simple. The first step was to condense true qi within the body into the corresponding escape technique runes.
As long as the rune successfully condensed, it could be nurtured within the body. When activated, the power of this rune would envelop the whole body, allowing instant escape.
However, the process of condensing the rune within the body was not simple.
Chen Han started cultivating, but several attempts to condense the rune failed, each time collapsing halfway.
This made him start reflecting on the cause, and only after repeated attempts did he discover that the biggest reason might be that the quality of his true qi was not solid enough.
In other words, his strength was still insufficient.
However, this was not absolute.
On the path of cultivation, with more attempts, richer experience, and increased proficiency, continuous cultivation of one method could still succeed, though the effect might be weaker.
So he continued cultivating.
By night, his true qi was almost depleted, and he still had not managed to condense the Heart Light Escape Technique rune.
He had to stop, took out a primary spirit stone, and began cultivating with the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method《 》 to recover his true qi.
Until the alarm clock rang the next day, he washed up and checked on the three larvae.
He pricked himself with a needle to draw a bit of blood again and used the Insect Control Technique《 》 to continue feeding the three larvae.
After that, he went downstairs, checked the Moon Gazing Rabbit Hutch, and found there was no Moon Gazing Sand today. Then he picked up the Little White Rabbit, mounted You Fu, who had long been waiting outside, and headed to the special spiritual aperture with three cows and one dog.
His junior sister and uncle had already arrived at the special spiritual aperture and were in a heated discussion.
He entered the pavilion and asked, “What is it? What are you discussing so enthusiastically?”
Chen Dagou explained, “Xiao Han, there’s some world fighting champion doing a domestic tour. For some reason, he says he wants to challenge domestic traditional kung fu in every place he goes!”
“The key thing is that there were two idiot traditional martial arts bloggers on Douyin who went to accept the challenge and got beaten like random passersby. And those two idiot traditional martial arts bloggers even tagged the three of us, trying to provoke us into taking the challenge.”
“Since they are idiots, we just ignore them. Some world fighting champion is not qualified to make you take action. I am afraid if you cannot hold back and beat him to death.” Chen Han smiled, not taking this matter seriously at all.
Then he said, “But Dalong has been a bit restless. He filmed videos on his own, promoting the Chen Clan’s fist techniques, and they look pretty decent. The medicinal herbs in the spirit field have mostly matured. Junior sister, when the time comes, you can use these herbs to refine some Body Tempering Pills for Dalong and let him go to the fighting world to stretch his muscles. That would be fine.”
Chen Lin and the others nodded.
In fact, they did not really know how strong they were now, since they had no reference.
They only knew that every day they worked hard to guide their true qi into their dantian.
However, Xiao Han’s worry that they might beat the world fighting champion to death probably meant they could indeed kill him easily.
As they chatted, the time for the special spiritual aperture was approaching.
They all sat down. While the spiritual energy rinse of the special spiritual aperture washed over them, they circulated their cultivation methods.
This time was different from before. At the end of the spiritual energy rinse, Chen Han suddenly heard Xiao Mi’s delighted voice, “I have successfully guided my true qi into my dantian.”
Chen Han could not help feeling surprised.
After all, Xiao Mi had started cultivating last.
Xiao Yu and Chen Lin all lost their focus on cultivation, staring at her in disbelief, their gazes full of astonishment, shock, and disbelief,
a mix of indescribable emotions.
Xiao Yu could not help asking, “Xiao Mi Jie, how did you do it?”
Xiao Mi explained, “When I was cultivating before, over the last two days while absorbing and refining spiritual energy, I tried guiding the true qi to my dantian, but the true qi would rapidly deplete when it encountered impurities in the meridians.”
“So afterward, I tried another method: controlling the true qi and binding it, kneading it into a thinner and longer form. When circulating like that, it could still clear away impurities when encountering them, but with less consumption and much better efficiency.”
“This is the ‘local breakthrough – overall linkage’ leverage effect talked about in physics. It means concentrating limited power on a critical point for a focused assault. To put it simply, using a point to break a surface.”
“As long as your control of true qi is proficient, it should not be hard for you to do it too.”
Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng stared at her blankly, half understanding at best.
They had only gone to primary school.
As for physics, the only thing they really understood was “using a point to break a surface.”
Xiao Yu, on the other hand, understood, and immediately looked at Xiao Mi Jie with eyes full of respect, admiration, and worship.
So this was the world of top students?
You could even apply what you learned from books to cultivation?
“Xiao Mi Jie, no wonder that Old Ancestor taught you the cultivation method. You are amazing.” Xiao Yu finally could not help her emotion.
She really wanted to become someone like Xiao Mi Jie.
Unfortunately, she and books just did not get along.
When Xiao Mi heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Chen Han. After all, she clearly knew who had taught her the cultivation method; it was not any Old Ancestor.
It was this guy, who tormented her while carrying her leg on his shoulder and having her recite the cultivation formula at the same time.
Chen Han also understood what Xiao Mi meant, so he immediately mobilized the true qi in his body and tried what she had described.
Through inner vision, he saw his true qi bundled and stretched, refined and compressed, then surging toward the sixth meridian, the Yangxiao vessel.
Originally, he had thought it would take some time to open up the sixth of the eight extraordinary meridians, but this time, as his true qi struck through, the obstruction in the Yangxiao vessel was like a fragile mirror, instantly shattered.
Another of the eight extraordinary meridians was opened.
Chen Han’s aura grew stronger again. He could clearly feel his body becoming tougher, and the quality of his true qi had also become more condensed.
He had not expected Xiao Mi’s method to be so effective.
However, to open the next meridian, this method alone would not suffice; he still needed to accumulate more.
He got up and went back.
After preparing the medicinal cuisine and putting it on to stew, he returned to his own courtyard and once again began cultivating the Heart Light Escape Technique《 》 he had obtained yesterday.
This time, having opened another extraordinary meridian and improved his true qi quality, cultivating the Heart Light Escape Technique《 》 was clearly much smoother.
Although the rune’s condensation still repeatedly collapsed and failed, the progress improved noticeably each time.
After about an hour, when his true qi was nearly exhausted again, the Heart Light Escape Technique rune finally condensed successfully within his body, hovering above his dantian.
Through inner vision, he watched this rune from a very strange perspective, feeling it deeply and knowing clearly that if he channeled true qi to perform the Heart Light Escape Technique,《 》 he could instantly cast this escape art.
Next, he looked toward the attic door and instantly activated the Heart Light Escape Technique.《 》 In the next moment, his body shone with golden light and vanished from where he stood.
However, he did not appear at the attic door. Instead, he appeared two steps ahead, still wrapped in golden light.
This small distance was something he could have covered with a light jump. Did he really need the Heart Light Escape Technique《 》 for that?
It was not that his strength was so low he could only escape two steps; mainly, he was not proficient with the technique yet.
So he kept activating the escape technique for practice. His figure flickered in and out, vanishing and appearing in the courtyard amid golden flashes.
After a few times, his figure vanished from the courtyard and reappeared on the second floor in a room in a flash of golden light, where he stopped.
Now it was starting to look decent. Wasn’t this much better than any lightness skill?
But since he had already consumed a lot of true qi condensing the rune, then repeatedly used the technique, his true qi was completely exhausted.
Using the Heart Light Escape Technique《 》 was quite consuming.
He sat down cross-legged in the room, took out a primary spirit stone, and cultivated with the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method《 》 to recover true qi.
Outside, as tourists came out for activities, the Chen Clan was also becoming lively and busy.
Until the afternoon, a county car drove into the parking lot.
Ma Qi（Chapter 107） got out of the car with a group and headed toward the land where the Chen Clan had planted rapeseed yesterday.
The county was very concerned about the Chen Clan rapeseed planting project, especially since there was a lot of skepticism online, with many believing this was the wrong season.
So Director Chen sent him to keep an eye on the rapeseed planting project. In the coming days, he had to come check the rapeseed planting land every day.
For this, he had even specifically read some books about rapeseed.
Now, as Linhe County was developing its tourism economy, the Chen Clan’s side was the top priority. Everyone in the county with awareness was working hard, especially since the case of that city, where all officials involved in its successful tourism development were promoted, was still vivid in their minds.
Leaving the Chen Clan, he quickly arrived at the land where they had planted yesterday, then told his team to inspect. Soon, someone exclaimed in surprise, “Section Chief Ma, something is off. Are we sure these rapeseed seeds were planted yesterday?”
Ma Qi walked over in confusion. “They were planted yesterday. How… uh, how is this possible?”
A look of shock appeared on his face. In that plot, green sprouts had already emerged.
This was not right.
Rapeseed seeds usually take 2 to 4 days to germinate. To reach the stage where sprouts break through the soil like this would normally take at least 2 days.
But now, looking over the whole area, it was all green. The timing was wrong; they were growing too fast.
Faced with this situation, he did not dare hesitate. He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Chen Kai. Once connected, he reported, “Director Chen, something is off with the rapeseed planted by the Chen Clan. They were planted yesterday, and they have sprouted today!”
“What?” Chen Kai found this hard to believe. He had also read a lot of information about rapeseed.
So he told Ma Qi to record a video and send it to him. After hanging up, he immediately reported the news to Chu Ping. Chu Ping also found it unbelievable, but sprouting alone did not prove much.
If the Chen Clan had some special germination technique, maybe the seeds already had sprout points when planted.
Chu Ping immediately ordered, “Wait one more night. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Chen Clan together to check the situation.”
Chen Kai naturally agreed.
So, after a night passed, they dealt with some documents in the morning, then went together to the Chen Clan.
When they arrived at the rapeseed field, they were completely stunned and even took out the video Ma Qi had recorded yesterday for comparison.
The seeds planted earliest had grown another section, already showing split leaves. Anyone could tell this growth rate was abnormal.
They then checked other plots. Many places had sprouted, all much faster than normal.
Once they fully confirmed this, Chu Ping and Chen Kai looked at each other for a long time as the words of Old Master Zheng and his son echoed in their minds.
The Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s dream message said that the Chen Clan’s rapeseed flower sea would be extraordinary.
Was this astonishing growth speed not extraordinary?
Could it be…
It seemed more and more things were being confirmed.
“Should we ask Patriarch Chen?” Chen Kai suggested.
Chu Ping said awkwardly, “The answer we will definitely get is ‘believe in science’.”
The two of them felt helpless. They had completely seen through Patriarch Chen.
So Chu Ping said, “Let’s go back to the county. Since we know Patriarch Chen will tell us to believe in science, then we will believe in science and ask Qingmin Agricultural University for help.”
The Qingmin Region was vigorously developing agricultural planting and doing quite well, mainly because it had Qingmin Agricultural University.
As one of the four major agricultural universities in the country, many places often invited professors from Qingmin Agricultural University to provide guidance.
Now, under these circumstances, since they had to believe in science, of course they would ask Qingmin Agricultural University for help.
Chu Ping had connections in Qingmin City, so he quickly called Qingmin Agricultural University.
…
Time passed.
At Qingmin Agricultural University, Bao Jing’s class was in the last morning period. After finishing, it was almost noon when he returned to his office and received a call from the dean asking him to come over.
He was puzzled and did not know what it was about, but he went to the dean’s office. As soon as he entered, the dean said, “Professor Bao, Linhe County has requested help from our university regarding rapeseed. Just so happens, your video on this subject went viral the day before yesterday, so please make a trip to Linhe County. I will send the relevant information to your phone.”
Bao Jing nodded. It did not surprise him that various markets in Qingmin City sought agricultural planting support from the university.
It was also an opportunity for professors like him to take students for practical experience, so he did not refuse.
But Linhe County and rapeseed again. Could this be the rapeseed planted by the Chen Clan?
Back in his office, he received the materials from the dean. When he opened them, he was startled.
It really was about the Chen Clan’s rapeseed.
But planting rapeseed in this season, he might not have many options to help.
When he finished reading the description from Linhe County, however, he was instantly unsettled. The growth rate of that rapeseed was much faster than normal?
He immediately opened the two attached videos, which showed the growth after one and two days respectively.
“Are you kidding me? It grew this much in two days?” After watching, Bao Jing was completely unsettled. In such a short time, rapeseed seeds being able to germinate at all would already be good.
If this was not a mistake by the people in Linhe County, it meant the Chen Clan had used growth stimulants.
But even with stimulants at the seed stage, it was impossible to shorten the time this much.
Suddenly, he realized an incredible possibility.
Could it be that the rapeseed planted by the Chen Clan was a new variety?
But that would be even more shocking.
Because rapeseed is heavily dependent on imports now, and although many agricultural research labs in the country study rapeseed, there had been no breakthrough new varieties.
The Chen Clan was just a Daoist Sect Heritage Family engaged in tourism.
