Chapter 35: The Beast Taming Flute Gifted By The Spirit Beast Family
（There was a flaw in the “Spirit Plant Dew” spell’s growth speed +2 attribute. It has been changed so that before maturity, it indeed always provides growth speed +2, but that will also accelerate death.）
……
As the spell pattern of “Spirit Plant Dew” lit up, under those ripples the water in the water reservoir clearly became more transparent. Then the entire reservoir was filled with that radiance, making it look dreamlike.
This process lasted for a while. As the light on the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade weakened and disappeared, all the water in the reservoir became extraordinarily clear.
Chen Han put the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade back into the warehouse and saw that the remark information had indeed changed: usable times 0/1（when placed in a place with spiritual energy, the Spirit Jade can automatically absorb spiritual energy to restore the spell’s usage times!）
Seeing this, he thought of the special spiritual aperture. After all, there was only spiritual energy during the spiritual energy rinse.
Chen Han looked again at the water reservoir in front of him. He picked up a ladle, scooped a ladle of water into the warehouse, and saw the remark information:
【Spirit Plant Dew Water: this is water created through the Hundred Flowers Palace “Spirit Plant Dew” spell. When used to water flower-type plants before they mature, it has a growth speed +2 effect. Long-term watering will also grant flower-type plants some marvelous effects: ornamental value +2, enchanting flower fragrance +2, and vigorous vitality +2!
Restriction: Once flower-type plants stop being watered, over time their attributes will degenerate.】
This was a spell directly transforming the twelve-cubic-meter water reservoir.
With a thought, the ladle appeared in his hand again, and he tossed it back into the reservoir.
Now he was curious about what the upper limit of this “Spirit Plant Dew” spell’s transformative power was.
The Chen Clan had a one-hundred-cubic-meter transfer water reservoir. Once the “Spirit Plant Dew” spell recovered, he could go test it.
Next, Chen Han took out his mobile phone and used the native camera to record video of the orchids in the courtyard. Then he found a sprayer, filled it with the “Spirit Plant Dew Water” from the reservoir, and watered the orchids in the courtyard.
These orchids were the best experimental subjects for watering with “Spirit Plant Dew Water.”
After spending some time, apart from deliberately leaving a portion as a control group, he watered all the orchids in the courtyard once with Spirit Plant Dew Water.
After that, among both the watered and unwatered orchids, he selected several winter orchids that had not fully grown and cut a mark on their leaves.
The earlier video shot on his phone was for testing the ornamental value +2 attribute, to see what changes occurred over time.
Now this was to test the growth speed +2 attribute.
Many people have seen some nonsense scenes in movies, where a sapling is planted and carved with characters, and thirty years later the protagonist can find that big tree based on the carving.
But as the tree trunk thickens during growth, the carved characters would be stretched, distorted, and split apart. Even if you only mark an orchid leaf, the marks will twist as it grows.
Now, after watering with Spirit Plant Dew Water, he would just observe how these orchids changed.
“Senior brother.” Xiao Yu’s greeting sounded.
He saw her and Xiao Mi carrying a selfie stick, a fill light, and two other filming tools he did not recognize, and they began setting things up in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Chen Han ceded the courtyard to them, returned to his room, and edited the videos he had shot that day, especially cutting together the scenes of the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose battling the three stray dogs.
He would continue filming follow-up videos once the Lion Head Geese his uncle ordered arrived tomorrow.
Afterward, he took out the 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》 and the Daoist Scripture Notation and continued self-studying. By evening, he had made considerable progress in self-studying the Scripture Notation of the 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》.
At this time his uncle sent a message: “Xiao Han, I have already negotiated with a farm. One hundred adult Lion Head Geese, priced at the flat rate of three hundred each. They want a deposit of five thousand, and tomorrow morning they will deliver them to the Chen Clan.”
“Got it.” Chen Han replied, and also transferred five thousand to his uncle.
After that, he continued self-studying the Scripture Notation of the 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》.
……
The next day, Chen Han still woke up to the sound of the alarm clock, washed briefly, and went downstairs.
In June, near the Maoshi hour, the sky in the south was already getting brighter and, together with the courtyard lights, he could see all the orchids in the courtyard clearly.
He squatted down in front of those winter orchids with the marks and checked their condition. At a glance, his face showed surprise.
The winter orchids watered yesterday with Spirit Plant Dew Water were clearly growing much faster than those that had not been watered.
On the watered winter orchids, the marks had already been stretched and twisted a bit, which showed that they had grown a lot in just one night.
Given that the growth cycle of winter orchids is measured in years, growing this much overnight was remarkable. If applied to flowers with a normal cycle of just a few months, it would be incredible.
In the future, if he wanted to plant any flower-type plants, he could greatly shorten the required time.
For example, his plan to plant five offering flowers in various places of the ancient architectural complex. He even felt they might need to buy mature plants instead; otherwise, from seedling to mature plant, if the speed was too fast, it would be startling.
Once they were mature plants, shortening the time to flowering would be fine.
Thinking this, Chen Han headed to the special spiritual aperture while taking out the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade, because the “Spirit Plant Dew” spell needed to absorb enough spiritual energy to be used, and only during the spiritual energy rinse could it be absorbed now.
At the pavilion, he placed the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade to one side, sat cross-legged himself, and waited for the spiritual energy rinse of the special spiritual aperture.
When the Maoshi hour arrived, with the first ray of morning sunlight appearing over the mountain, the spiritual energy rinse also manifested. He quickly circulated the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》 to guide the surrounding spiritual energy into his body.
Through the perception granted by the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》, he was shocked to find that the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade’s absorption speed for spiritual energy was far faster than his.
It was a bit of a blow.
This was related to how weak his strength was. Because of the true qi loss from treating lung cancer, he simply could not guide true qi into his dantian.
However, the special spiritual aperture’s rinse provided plenty of spiritual energy, and the amount the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade absorbed did not affect him.
He could only absorb a certain amount of spiritual energy each time anyway; the rest dissipated.
As time passed, Zhao Kang came running early in the morning again. As always, he saw the Chen Family Head sitting cross-legged. This person truly came here at dawn day after day to enter samadhi and cultivate.
But this also proved that the Three Old Elm Trees were indeed a good place.
He silently went over and found a spot to sit.
After drinking Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea these two days, he felt better and better. He planned to stay a few more days at the Chen Clan to recuperate.
When Chen Han finished cultivating, the first thing he checked was the lifespan he cared about most: seventy-six days and five hours.
Today his lifespan had increased by fifteen days.
As expected, it increased day by day. His lung cancer should soon be cured. And once the symptom was cured and he continued cultivating, would his lifespan keep getting longer?
Chen Han felt some anticipation at the thought. He picked up the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade, walked out of the pavilion, greeted the resting Mr. Zhao, and then headed toward his own courtyard.
But when he put the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade into the warehouse, his face showed surprise.
usable times 1/1（after use, it must absorb enough spiritual energy again before the spell can be cast!）
The Spirit Plant Dew spell had recovered one use.
In other words, one spiritual energy rinse was entirely sufficient for the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade to absorb enough spiritual energy.
If so, Spirit Plant Dew Water could be transformed every day.
Thinking of this, he went to the Chen Clan’s transfer water reservoir to see how much water volume this “Spirit Plant Dew” spell could transform this time.
At the transfer reservoir, he cautiously looked around, then put the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade into the water. Just as he was about to cast, he got a game prompt:
【The damage degree of the “Spirit Plant Dew” runes cannot support transforming such a large amount of Spirit Plant Dew Water!】
Receiving this prompt, Chen Han instinctively stopped.
So one hundred cubic meters would not work. He then turned his gaze to another large fifty-cubic-meter reservoir nearby. That was the reservoir used to water the vegetable garden. It was not spring water led from the mountain but water diverted from the higher river.
Walking toward the vegetable garden reservoir, he could see the water was obviously muddy.
He put the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade into it and activated the Spirit Plant Dew spell. This time no game prompt appeared.
So, one casting of the “Spirit Plant Dew” spell could fully transform fifty cubic meters into Spirit Plant Dew Water without any problem.
The patterns on the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade lit up again. As ripples spread out, the light quickly filled the entire reservoir. When the transformation was complete, even though the water had been muddy, it was now clearly extremely transparent.
The transformation had succeeded.
He immediately calculated. If the Chen Clan wanted to plant five offering flowers in various places and water them with Spirit Plant Dew Water, fifty cubic meters would be entirely sufficient.
Returning to the Chen Clan and going to his uncle’s courtyard, he found his uncle had already prepared breakfast as usual.
Seeing him enter, his uncle said, “Xiao Han, breakfast is on the table. Today we need to plant some cauliflower seeds in the vegetable garden. We have to finish before the sun gets too harsh, so I will eat first.”
“Okay, uncle, go ahead.” Chen Han nodded. After breakfast, he began preparing today’s dog demon meat medicinal cuisine.
When he first added water, he suddenly thought of something: did cauliflower count as a flower?
He checked on his mobile phone. Cauliflower, also called flower cabbage, belongs to the cruciferous family. It is indeed a flower, with a growth cycle of three and a half months.
In the vegetable garden.
Chen Lin had already brought two elders, weeded and turned over two plots of land, and finally planted the cauliflower seeds.
“Water once now. During the vegetable garden’s watering time this afternoon, we will give it a second round and that will be enough,” Chen Lin said, opening the valves for the two plots. Water sprayed out wildly and fell onto the two patches of soil.
Chen Lin and the elders were somewhat puzzled as they watched the water spray today.
“The water looks very clear today,” one elder said.
“Yeah, it is usually very muddy,” another elder said.
Chen Lin also noticed, but he was not very curious. If the water was clearer, perhaps it was because the water diverted into the reservoir yesterday contained less sediment.
Once the cauliflower seeds were planted, he led them out of the vegetable garden. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he smelled a rich medicinal fragrance. His nephew was clearly making medicinal cuisine again.
Entering the kitchen, he found that was indeed the case, and just then the mobile phone ringtone rang. It was a call from the farm he had contacted yesterday.
After answering, he said to his nephew, “Xiao Han, the people delivering the Lion Head Geese from the farm are almost here.”
Chen Han’s eyes lit up at this.
The Mysterious Frost Spirit Goose task was about to be completed. Sure enough, before long several small trucks arrived outside the Chen Clan.
When Chen Han and his uncle went out, the farm staff were already unloading the Lion Head Geese, each locked inside a cage.
He quickly took out his mobile phone to film: “The Mysterious Frost Spirit Geese purchased with the family’s accumulated spirit stones have been delivered by the spirit beast breeding family…”
“Mr. Chen, where should these geese be kept?” the farm’s person in charge asked Chen Lin.
Chen Lin immediately led the way to an enclosure that had previously been the Chen Clan’s sheep pen. They no longer kept sheep there, so it could house these Lion Head Geese.
The farm staff carried the Lion Head Geese in bamboo baskets into the enclosure. Chen Lin carefully counted and checked their condition.
Once there were no issues, Chen Han paid the person in charge twenty thousand, with another five thousand as a retained balance serving as a deposit. If there were no problems with the Lion Head Geese later, they would transfer the remaining five thousand.
For such large-volume transactions, this was the rule.
Before leaving, the farm’s person in charge gave Chen Han a whistle and explained, “Mr. Chen, we have conducted feeding training with these Lion Head Geese. When we blow the whistle, they know it is feeding time.
“Although this is a new environment, if you set fixed feeding times and blow it more often for training, they should adapt. Then even if they run out, they will know to run back when they hear the whistle. Of course, if you are going to slaughter them right away, there is no need to bother.”
Chen Han took the whistle in surprise. This kind of training was actually quite good. At least, by blowing a flute, these more than one hundred Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese would know to run over for feeding. The scene should be spectacular and might be excellent video material.
But the game prompt that appeared right after made him even more surprised.
【The spirit beast breeding family has delivered one hundred special spirit beasts, the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese, to your family. After paying spirit stones, they gave you a Beast Taming Flute. These Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese have been branded with beast-taming spiritual markings. Through special flute sounds, you can control them in battle!】
Chen Han instinctively looked into the game warehouse. Sure enough, there lay a dark green flute. When he saw the remark information, his expression turned strange.
