Chapter 37: Xiao Mi: Are You Really Going To Play The Flute For A Goose?
【Congratulations, you have successfully bound the Beast Taming Flute to the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose）. The Spirit Beast Elder is already at the Spirit Beast Hall. Please look for the Spirit Beast Elder and have him help unseal the runes on the Beast Taming Flute to obtain the precise musical notes to control the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose!】
Chen Han did not hesitate. He hurried out of the courtyard and soon arrived at the sheep pen. Looking at the gate rail at the entrance, he felt there should be a sign hung here with a different name.
So when he saw his uncle and Sixth Uncle talking at the entrance with strange expressions on their faces, he said, “Uncle, make a sign later, carve the words ‘Spirit Beast Hall’ on it, and hang it on this gate rail!”
When Chen Lin saw him, he quickly said, “Xiao Han, leave the sign for later. Let me tell you, just now Sixth Uncle told us we cannot use these Lion Head Geese to host tourists. These Lion Head Geese seemed to understand. They all went quiet at once and stretched their necks to stare at me.”
“Xiao Han, you don’t know how scary that scene was. My back broke out in a cold sweat. These geese are a bit sinister!”
Chen Liu immediately scolded him. “Xiao Lin, what nonsense are you talking about? What’s sinister about them? That is spirituality. Did you not see that once you said you would not use them to host tourists, they returned to normal? You gave your word. If you don’t keep it, beware of cutting your life short.”
Hearing them, Chen Han guessed what had happened. It should have been when he used his blood to bind the Beast Taming Flute that those Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese sensed it and showed that strange behavior.
Judging from his uncle’s look, he had been badly frightened.
But this was something Chen Han had to pretend not to know. “Uncle, why are you and Sixth Uncle exaggerating like this? They’re just some Lion Head Geese.”
Seeing that he did not believe, Chen Lin hurriedly explained, “Xiao Han, I really am not lying to you. Everything I said is true. That scene was really scary.”
Perhaps because he had raised so many geese and was close to them, Chen Liu was not worried at all. He said, “What is there to be afraid of? Animals having spirituality is a good thing. If you treat them well, they will become close to you. They are better than many ungrateful people.”
Chen Han smiled and said to Chen Liu, “Sixth Uncle, then I will leave these Lion Head Geese to your care. Don’t worry, we won’t use them to host tourists.”
In his mind, he was already thinking about how to get this Spirit Beast Elder to unseal the runes on the Beast Taming Flute. He could not just hand him the flute and say, “Sixth Uncle, help me unseal this.”
Even this Sixth Uncle would think he had gone mad.
At this moment, Chen Liu said, “Xiao Han, didn’t the people from the farm give you a whistle and say they had done feeding training? I will train these Lion Head Geese over the next few days so they get used to their new place.”
Chen Han nodded and handed the whistle from the farm to Sixth Uncle.
Sixth Uncle took the whistle, put it to his mouth, and blew. After the loud sound rang out, they could see that those Lion Head Geese reacted. Some even ran around like headless flies.
Feeding training exists in many poultry farms. The main purpose is to train the poultry’s habits.
Sometimes it does not even require deliberate training. If you feed them in one place often enough, they will come on their own.
For example, at many chicken farms, when they see people coming, they get extremely enthusiastic, swinging their charming bodies and rushing over.
Hence the saying: “If you have grain in your hand, the chickens will come.”
“There is a reaction. That makes it easy,” Chen Liu said, watching the Lion Head Geese. “Now we just need to give them a new feeding place and repeat the training a few times.”
As Sixth Uncle spoke, Chen Han was shocked to see a game prompt appear in his mind:
【Congratulations. After studying the Beast Taming Flute, the Spirit Beast Elder has helped you unseal the runes on it and obtained for you the control notes for the special skills of the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose: ‘Guard, Formation, Charge, Dominance’!】
He clearly had not expected it to be so simple. He immediately looked toward the warehouse and indeed saw an additional piece of musical note information there.
【Beast Taming Flute control notes for the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose）: this is the related musical notes for the Beast Taming Flute. As long as you play these notes, you can control the corresponding spirit beasts. Use it?】
Chen Han did not hesitate.
Moments later, as the musical note information turned into points of light and vanished from the warehouse, four segments of musical note information appeared in Chen Han’s mind. The notes seemed deeply engraved there, including the ways to play them.
Of these four segments, the first, which controlled the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese’s “Guard” skill, was clearly the simplest.
But when he picked up the Beast Taming Flute and tried to play it, he was put in an awkward spot.
Because he had never learned to play the flute.
Even though he now had the notes and knew how they should be played, with zero foundation in flute-playing technique, what came out when he blew was just a mess. It was hard to coordinate breathing and finger holes at once. There was nothing pleasant about it, only a hoarse sound.
Those Lion Head Geese did not react at all.
He tried three times in a row with the same result.
It was just like True Man Changmei Ren Shou receiving a cultivation method by direct transmission, yet still needing a long time to fully comprehend its principles.
It seemed he needed to get familiar with playing the flute first.
So he instructed his uncle, “Uncle, remember to put up a Spirit Beast Hall sign outside later for filming videos.”
“Got it,” Chen Lin sighed, his gaze fixed on those Lion Head Geese.
Why would Xiao Han just not believe him?
Being stared at by one hundred Lion Head Geese with their necks stretched out had really been unnerving.
Chen Han then went back to Uncle’s Courtyard. The medicinal cuisine should almost be done stewing.
As soon as he reached the kitchen, his junior sister came happily running in. “Senior brother, Mr. Zhao has invited some friends over. They asked if there is medicinal cuisine today and want to buy another serving.”
“Mr. Zhao, huh? This stew pot is almost ready. Give this one to him first,” Chen Han said with a smile. He had just bought these one hundred Lion Head Geese, and only had thirty-seven thousand left. An extra twenty thousand in income was always good.
It was just that the number of tourists was still not enough. With the current tourist volume, the money came in more slowly than it went out. If only a few more rich people like Mr. Zhao would come.
“Alright, I will go talk to Mr. Zhao,” Xiao Yu nodded and left the kitchen again.
Seeing this, Chen Han took out a piece of Dog Demon Meat from the warehouse to prepare anew, then used another stew pot to make another portion. After that, he picked up the Beast Taming Flute and continued practicing.
By noon, Chen Lin had returned to make lunch and said at the same time, “Xiao Han, the Spirit Beast Hall sign you asked for is done and hung up. You can film whenever you want.”
“Okay,” Chen Han nodded.
Just as Uncle finished cooking lunch, his junior sister came to the kitchen again with Aunt Yanfang.
“Patriarch,” Huang Yanfang said respectfully, pushing a dining cart as she greeted Chen Han.
“Senior brother, we are here to pick up the medicinal cuisine for Mr. Zhao,” his junior sister said, already helping Huang Yanfang lift the finished medicinal cuisine onto the dining cart before pushing it away.
Soon after, they arrived at the restaurant in the Tourist Service Center and served the medicinal cuisine to Zhao Kang’s table. Beside him sat five or six middle-aged men. When the medicinal cuisine arrived, they were still chatting and laughing.
Seeing the dish set down, Zhao Kang said, “This is the Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine I mentioned. Hurry and taste it.”
This made the others laugh and say:
“Is it really that exaggerated?”
“Yeah, I want to see what it’s like.”
“…”
“I told you, and you still don’t believe it,” Zhao Kang said as he grabbed some napkins to hold the stew pot and lifted the lid.
In that instant, the enticing medicinal fragrance spread out. Everyone at the table was immediately drawn in, their eyes full of surprise.
Just the fragrance alone was enough to make their mouths water.
Zhao Kang picked up a bowl and served each of them a portion. These were all people he knew, men with considerable strength in the county.
The Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine was absolutely formidable. That miraculous feeling, with its effects of strengthening the body and great nourishment, was beyond doubt.
But at twenty thousand per stew pot, he could not afford to eat it every day. More importantly, he could never finish a whole stew pot by himself. So he had thought of fishing.
To fish, you need to bait the spot. Now the fish had tasted the medicinal cuisine; the bait had been cast. He did not believe these guys would not be attracted by the Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine.
Since he was treating everyone today and recuperating here recently, if they later ordered Chen Clan medicinal cuisine, how could they not invite him?
After a bowl of medicinal cuisine, the expressions of everyone at the table clearly turned to astonishment.
“Have you felt it? That wondrous sensation?”
“You felt it too? That sense of comfort?”
“…”
Zhao Kang was not surprised at their reactions. He had been the same at first.
One of them immediately said, “This medicinal cuisine is unbelievable. My whole body feels warm, and it’s like even my rheumatism is gone. Brothers, let’s come back tomorrow at noon. I’ll order another serving of this medicinal cuisine!”
Another said, “Since President Lin says so, I’ll order one for the day after tomorrow.”
A smile appeared on Zhao Kang’s face. There it was. The bait had worked, and the fish had taken the hook.
…
In the afternoon.
Once Chen Han had become proficient with the first segment of notes on the Beast Taming Flute, and the tune sounded very pleasant and light, he could try out the guard skill of the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese and record some video material.
But he would need someone to act as his cameraman when it was time to play the Beast Taming Flute.
The newly stewed medicinal cuisine had reached the two-hour mark, and the water in the stew pot had begun to reduce. He quickly boiled more water, added it to the stew pot, and let it continue to stew slowly.
“It smells so good. Chen Han, are you making medicinal cuisine again?” came Xiao Mi’s voice. Today she, like his junior sister, was wearing a plain purple Hanfu, looking delicate and charming.
“You came at the right time. I need to film a video. Help me be my cameraman in a minute,” Chen Han said with a smile. Xiao Mi would never refuse such a request from him, and she followed him out.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the sheep pen, which was now the Spirit Beast Hall. A wooden sign had been hung at the entrance, bearing the words Spirit Beast Hall, with the characters painted over in red lacquer.
Xiao Mi stared at the sign in surprise, only to see that Chen Han was already aiming his mobile phone at the Spirit Beast Hall and filming. “I, the patriarch, have spent a large number of spirit stones to trade with a family that raises spirit beasts for one hundred spirit beasts: Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese. Now I am specially using the methods passed down by the family’s Spirit Beast Elder to tame these Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese.”
Xiao Mi knew he was filming another one of those goofy cultivation videos. She had watched all his previous videos and felt they were extremely embarrassing.
Now that she was watching him film, she felt even more embarrassed, especially after entering and seeing that the so-called spirit beasts, the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese, were just a flock of big geese.
Did he not feel awkward while filming?
Inside, Chen Han used the Spirit Shadow Mirror to take close-ups of the Lion Head Geese, then handed the mobile phone to Xiao Mi and instructed, “Xiao Mi, now you have to be my cameraman.”
Xiao Mi nodded, taking the phone, and noticed that at some point he had a flute in his hand.
She seemed to realize what he intended.
He was going to play the flute to this flock of big geese?
How was that any different from playing music to a cow?
