Chapter 277: Conceal Wind Gather Qi! A Sword Of Combined Popularity And Luck?
《International Fighting Champion Habak has already crushed one expert after another from that eastern country. Half a month later, he will have the final battle with their top expert!》
At first glance, this news post looks like hype for Habak, this international fighting champion.
It really stirs people’s emotions.
Clicking into the news, that is indeed the case. The videos are all of Habak knocking out those traditional martial arts bloggers in seconds.
Especially that Pi Xiangyuan, who was directly kicked by Habak off the ring.
The key point is that Pi Xiangyuan does not even know that he has been labeled in this news as “Bruce Lee reborn.”
Bruce Lee has great fame in the West. What will happen now that “Bruce Lee reborn” is defeated in seconds by Habak?
Especially with the video editing effects, Habak looks truly full of dominance.
Seeing the comments in the post, you could tell the westerners were all boiling with hot blood.
“Habak is awesome, and Bruce Lee reborn is only this?”
“Haha, so-called eastern kung fu is nothing special!”
“I hate those people in Chinatown stealing jobs the most, Habak, take them down!”
“……”
The emotions were really pushed to the extreme.
Chen Han could understand this. After all, when there is domestic news where one cosplayer violently beats up another cosplayer dressed as a foreigner, the people in the comment section can also get fired up.
When emotions are stirred up, at that moment a link suddenly appears in the news post, letting people bet on whether the eastern country’s top expert wins or Habak wins. What will happen then?
Needless to say, more people will definitely bet on Habak to win.
Of course, it might also be a complete scam, where those who place bets never get any payout. For example, when the time comes, someone reports it and the betting link gets shut down.
Who knows where to go to claim compensation?
“Nice method.” Chen Han did not need to guess to know this should be the work of Skull Gate.
And they have actually started harvesting this early?
After that, he kept checking the news in other countries. After a search, he found similar news everywhere.
It seemed Skull Gate’s business scope was very large.
Chen Han closed the computer, stored it in the game warehouse, and could not help wondering what loot Skull Gate might drop for him if he completed the task and triggered the demon extermination instance task.
Surely it could not just be a lot of money?
With that thought, he also checked the information about the sect residence.
The “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui formation diagram still had not yet been fully generated.
Because of that, the faint white light shield that covered the Chen Clan and the Chen Clan’s merit industry area still had not disappeared.
He was very much looking forward to this “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui formation.
After all, he had personally compiled two Feng Shui books, and there was still undisclosed intermediate Feng Shui knowledge in the Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone.
Intermediate Feng Shui could already use geography and terrain to construct Feng Shui formations.
But to construct a Feng Shui formation without a corresponding formation diagram, he could only explore on his own, relying on profound Feng Shui knowledge to create a formation by himself.
That was clearly beyond his current capability.
Now that there was the “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui formation diagram, was that not exactly what would solve this problem?
He just did not know how long it would take for the “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui formation diagram to be completed.
Back at the Chen Clan, it was obvious that there were more tourists today. It was a sea of people, but most could only move around outside the Chen Clan or in Shangyuan Village.
There were too many people coming to see the rapeseed flower sea, while those who managed to grab tickets to the Chen Clan were always a minority. Not everyone could enter the Chen Clan.
Looking at the message Xiao Yu sent in the family group: the county said that the number of people coming to see the rapeseed flower sea today might exceed ten thousand.
With that number, just counting the 50 price per ticket, that would be 500,000 in ticket income in one day.
However, Chen Han no longer cared about this bit of money. After all, money was no longer the difficult condition for upgrading the sect residence.
Instead, things like wish power would take quite some time to accumulate.
Back in the courtyard, Chen Han looked at the rows of wish power prompts that appeared in his mind, then checked the wish power data again:
Wish power: 3265/100,
Previously, after the sect residence was upgraded and the “sincerity brings blessings” attribute renovation was completed, he found that believers not only provided wish power once, but also that the wish power he could obtain daily from clan members and tourists exceeded
In the past two days, because his aunt-grandmother’s Zhu You Technique had spread, there were more believers coming to offer incense or seek her guidance, and the wish power obtained each day now exceeded 1,
If it were still the previous requirement of 10,000 wish power to upgrade the sect residence, it would only take 10 days to complete.
But now the sect residence upgrade requirement was 100,000 wish power, so it would take at least 100 days.
That was too slow.
It seemed he had to think of a method to increase wish power.
Chen Han directly sent a message to his junior sister: “Junior sister, increase the Chen Clan ticket quota by 2,000 tomorrow. The tickets can only be used to enter the Chen Clan for sightseeing.”
This way, the number of people entering the Chen Clan each day would increase by 2,000, which should raise wish power to some extent.
After that, he sent a message to his uncle: “Uncle, find some time to change the road near the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall. Open a separate path for tourists, and it would be best to set up a square outside, so tourists can offer incense in the square.”
“Also, on the route inside the Chen Clan leading to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall, set up a checkpoint. Only those who bought Chen Clan tickets can pass with their tickets.”
This way, most of the people who wanted to go to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall to offer incense would be able to do so.
Especially with a square. As long as there was enough incense, it should not be a problem to let all tourists burn a round of incense in that square.
And the merit industry donated by Ms. Liao included a factory producing incense sticks. It would soon go into production and could fully supply the demand.
Those who wanted to offer incense all had some chance of generating wish power.
That was also a way to increase wish power.
As for adding checkpoints to the internal road, that was to protect the rights of tourists who bought Chen Clan tickets and prevent those without tickets from entering the Chen Clan from the square side.
His junior sister and his uncle quickly replied that they had received the messages.
That same night, the number of Chen Clan tickets available for purchase was increased by 2,
So, the next day the inside of the Chen Clan was even livelier, a sea of people.
Of course, as a check-in location, the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation was also where these tourists checked in and offered incense.
After one day, Chen Han gained more than 200 wish power over the previous day, reaching a total of 4,
This was already more than one tenth of the requirement. It also showed that among those entering the Chen Clan to offer incense today, there were quite a few with genuine piety.
The tourists coming to the Chen Clan to visit the rapeseed flower sea were clearly even more numerous today. With the high online popularity, more people saw it and it continued to ferment.
For three consecutive days, the number of tourists kept increasing, then reached its peak.
Once the number of tourists reached the peak, the service in each village also became somewhat chaotic. Due to inexperience, some minor problems occurred.
Naturally, there were also many issues raised about tourist behavior. Fortunately, in the internet era and with so many tourists, those with bad manners were being filmed by other tourists’ mobile phones one after another, so nothing escalated.
Moreover, news media and various internet celebrities had already reported on or were coming to film the Chen Clan rapeseed flower sea. No one wanted to be exposed online.
Overall, things were still good.
As tourist numbers peaked, the villagers of each village were overjoyed. Local specialty products, vegetables, fruits, and similar goods sold in large quantities, earning them a lot of money.
Some tourists who had never tried authentic farmhouse dishes, after buying ingredients from villagers, even asked them to cook on the spot, creating on-site catering and another source of income.
The vendors setting up stalls selling snacks beside the rapeseed flower sea also made a full pocket of earnings.
The county naturally benefited even more. Hotel, guesthouse, and bed-and-breakfast owners surely made a fortune, as did snack bars and restaurants, especially those in the ancient city area.
It could be said that all kinds of industries in Linhe County earned money thanks to the Chen Clan rapeseed flower sea. Everyone hoped the blooming period would last a bit longer and felt very grateful to the Chen Clan.
……
One night passed.
When the alarm clock rang, Chen Han exited the cultivation of the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》. He still had only the last section of the governor vessel not yet opened.
Once the governor vessel was opened, he could attempt to enter the breaking meridians stage, at which point he could cultivate the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Advanced Qi Cultivation Method》.
After washing up, Chen Han did not plan to go to the special spiritual aperture to cultivate today.
So, after hearing You Fu and Wangcai calling outside, he directly let them go on their own, then walked over to the few larvae in the transparent bottle.
The runes of the 《Insect Control Technique》 had already fully merged into the bodies of the larvae.
Now he could try refining an insect puppet.
He poured the larvae out of the bottle, then began to perform the hand seals of the 《Insect Control Technique》, urging his true qi to cast the spell and envelop one of the larvae.
As the true qi covered it, he could see fine runes condensing and then drilling into the larva’s body, causing the color of its skin to begin to darken.
But before the hand seals were completed, the larva seemed unable to withstand the runes entering its body and directly burst.
That was a failure.
Without hesitation, Chen Han started refining the second larva.
But his luck today seemed very bad. One after another, the larvae all burst during refinement.
With only the last one left, he became especially cautious.
If all of them failed, he would have to find new larvae, cast spells, and feed them blood, which would take a long time.
He did not have time to waste on such little bugs.
Fortunately, the last one successfully absorbed all the runes, and the refinement was a success. Its color deepened by two shades.
At the same time, Chen Han clearly felt that there was now a distinct connection between him and this larva, allowing him to sense its position.
He stretched his hand out on the table. With just a thought, he saw the larva slowly crawl toward his palm, then climb onto it.
Chen Han put this insect puppet back into the bottle, waiting for it to spin a cocoon, become a pupa, and then slowly transform into a butterfly. That way, when the next rapeseed flower sea was planted, he could release it and control the butterflies outside to fly into the rapeseed flower sea.
At that time, Xiao Mi should be very happy.
After all, the reason he wanted to refine a butterfly insect puppet was because Xiao Mi had said that butterflies plus a rapeseed flower sea would definitely be beautiful.
Since Xiao Mi liked it, he would do it and help her achieve it.
After cleaning up the few exploded bugs, he went downstairs and out the door to Uncle’s Kitchen to handle the medicinal cuisine.
But just as he had prepared the medicinal cuisine for stewing, a sudden game prompt made him show delight:
【Congratulations, the “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui formation diagram has been successfully generated. You have obtained the Gentle Breeze Comes Feng Shui formation diagram.】
Hearing this prompt, Chen Han could not help the joy appearing on his face.
In the game warehouse he immediately saw an additional special blueprint and also saw the remark information:
【Gentle Breeze Comes Feng Shui formation diagram: this is a special Feng Shui formation diagram. Once arranged into a formation, it can make the climate within the formation area more suitable for living.
A gentle breeze comes, the water surface remains calm. That is the essence of this Feng Shui formation!
Within this formation, it can promote air circulation and has the special effects of conceal wind gather qi: comfort +1, ease and delight +1, warm in winter and cool in summer +2!
Formation requirements: Use the Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone to find the five elements locations within the formation area. Find 5 pieces of Feng Shui Stone and engrave five lines of Wind Concealing Feng Shui Runes （obtained by using the formation diagram to get the five elements Wind Concealing Feng Shui Runes）. Use the sword formed by the combination of popularity and luck to activate the Feng Shui formation of the area and condense it into a formation.
Special attribute: within the Gentle Breeze Comes Feng Shui formation, all wind attribute magical artifacts, treasures, and spells will have greatly increased power!】
Seeing this Gentle Breeze Comes Feng Shui formation diagram, Chen Han felt shocked.
No wonder it was called a Feng Shui formation. Just the effect of conceal wind gather qi alone provided comfort +1 and ease and delight +
The air quality at the Chen Clan was already very good. With these two attributes added, even without any mysterious phenomena, it could definitely make the Chen Clan one of the most suitable places for recuperation and living in the country, even in the world.
As for warm in winter and cool in summer +2, that was basically changing the climate of an area. That could be considered a true formation.
With these attributes, even without any mysterious elements, the Chen Clan was definitely one of the most suitable places in the world for recuperation and living.
With this attribute, as long as the soil fertility allowed, within the Chen Clan and the merit industry area, rapeseed could be planted several seasons a year if they wanted.
Many other flowers and plants would be the same.
It was even not impossible to grow watermelons in midwinter. Off-season planting would not require any special techniques; they could just start directly.
As for the special attribute within the Gentle Breeze Comes formation that greatly increased the power of wind attribute magical artifacts, treasures, and spells, it reminded him of the Green Feather Pheasant fan he had refined earlier.
However, this fan was of the wind attribute, and when activated, it could only create a little wind whirl, which was almost useless.
Aside from that, he did not have any other wind attribute spells or magic treasures.
When the time came, he could test how much that small whirl of wind from the Green Feather Pheasant fan would be amplified within this Feng Shui formation.
Chen Han immediately looked at the formation conditions again.
First, using the Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone together with the Gentle Breeze Comes Feng Shui formation diagram should be like before, casting electronic Feng Shui so he would not need to search for the formation positions on his own.
For example, the five elements positions were truly not something he was sure he could find by himself.
As for finding five pieces of Feng Shui Stone and engraving the five lines of Wind Concealing Feng Shui Runes, that he understood. Feng Shui stones could be obtained in many places, and there were even specialized sellers of five elements Feng Shui stones online.
When the time came, he could directly order a batch online, engrave the five elements Wind Concealing Feng Shui Runes on them, then place the five Feng Shui stones at the five positions.
But the third condition, the sword formed by the combination of popularity and luck, what was that?
He really did not know.
So he hurried to the attic’s library to look through the information.
For now, he could only hope that something about it was recorded in those books.
……
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Because of the Chen Clan rapeseed’s growth speed, the flower sea began to enter the withering period. The flowers gradually decreased, and heavy rapeseed pods appeared.
With the forming of the rapeseed pods, Bao Jing and the other professors, together with Chu Ping and the other leaders of Linhai County, arrived at a section of the Chen Clan rapeseed flower sea.
After examining the rapeseed pods, they all could not help showing joy on their faces.
“As expected, the rapeseed pods far exceed normal rapeseed products,” Bao Jing confirmed, becoming even more expectant. Now that the yield had been verified, the only thing left was the oil content.
Professor Zhao split a few rapeseeds and said in surprise, “These rapeseeds are all very plump. Judging from this, their oil content must be quite high.”
Hearing this, Chu Ping looked at the rapeseed pods growing from the rapeseed flowers and almost saw densely packed words of “political achievements.”
But the pods had just formed, and the oil content could not be tested yet. They would have to wait for harvest for a preliminary test, and for accurate data they would need to be sun-dried.
Even with the faster growth speed of the Chen Clan rapeseed flowers, that would still take more than ten days.
These ten-plus days would surely feel extremely torturous to them.
At the same time.
Inside the Chen Clan, in the attic library, the scene was a mess. The various books were no longer neatly placed as before, but scattered from being flipped through.
Chen Han’s brows were furrowed. After setting down the book in his hand, he let out a silent sigh.
Over this week, he reread the Chen Clan’s Feng Shui books and all kinds of other books, but still did not find any information about the sword formed by the combination of popularity and luck.
What on earth was this thing?
