Chapter 60: It’s Actually Spirit Stones! The Potted Plant Is An Air Conditioner!
【This time, by colluding with the disguised demonic cult rogue, you earned a large number of spirit stones for your family. You are curious what was inside the gift box the demonic cult rogue used as a bribe. Who would have thought that after opening it, there was only a single least valuable low-grade spirit stone inside!
The demonic cult rogue is indeed cunning. They basically paid nothing and still got you to loosen up and agree to trade Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. 】
Chen Han felt awkward. So in the game plot, it meant that he had been slightly toyed with by the demonic cult rogue, right?
However, he did not care about that at all. In the game plot, he colluded with the disguised demonic cult rogue and used Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea to earn a large amount of spirit stones, so if the bribe gift box contained only one low-grade spirit stone, that was basically mocking him.
But in reality, there was no such thing as spirit stones, so to him, this was a treasure.
He immediately looked at the remark information for that low-grade spirit stone:
【Low-grade spirit stone: this is the most basic spirit stone. It contains pure spiritual energy that can help cultivators cultivate, can also be used to set up formations, and likewise can serve as currency for cultivators’ transactions. However, the spiritual energy contained in a low-grade spirit stone is not much, and its value as currency is not high. 】
Some things do not have a fixed value and will change depending on environment and demand.
For example, gold is valuable, but in the desert it might not be as precious as a bottle of water.
This low-grade spirit stone is the same. It may not be worth much in the cultivation world, but in reality where there is no spiritual energy, for Chen Han this is definitely a good thing.
He took the low-grade spirit stone out from the warehouse and felt its entire body icy cold in his palm. He tried circulating the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method and sensed the spiritual energy contained within it.
He immediately tried sitting cross-legged and continued circulating the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method to guide the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and in a short while spiritual energy indeed entered his body.
However, this cultivation method was different from when spiritual energy was rinsing the special spiritual aperture, and the feeling was completely different.
When the special spiritual aperture was being rinsed by spiritual energy, his whole body was surrounded by spiritual energy. When he circulated the cultivation method, all his pores relaxed, all guiding and absorbing spiritual energy into the body.
Now, the spirit stone was held in his hand. He directly used the laogong acupoint to guide and absorb the spiritual energy in the stone into the hand jueyin pericardium meridian, passed through the sanjiao meridian to the chest, then followed the cultivation method’s meridian route and refined it into true qi.
Right now his strength was weak. He had not even managed to guide a trace of true qi into his dantian. The spiritual energy he could guide and absorb from the spirit stone was also very little and slow. The trace of true qi that was refined was directly consumed in treating his lung cancer.
However, this was definitely a good thing for him. In addition to the spiritual energy rinse from the special spiritual aperture, he now had another path for cultivation.
He just did not know how long this single low-grade spirit stone could last, and until when it could support his cultivation.
For some reason, Chu Hao, that demonic cult rogue, popped into his mind.
He would drop spirit stones.
He wondered if driving him away with the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose would make him drop something.
On the other side, Chu Hao was busy booking tickets to return tomorrow. He suddenly felt a chill down his spine and could not help sneezing. “So late at night, who is talking about me?”
Chen Han held the spirit stone and continued cultivating, guiding the spiritual energy within the spirit stone. Half an hour later, with inner vision, he clearly felt that the lung illness had somewhat improved.
He immediately checked his lifespan data and indeed, his lifespan had increased by another two months.
This was already better than the current refinement effect of a single spiritual energy rinse.
With this spirit stone, his cancer could be treated more quickly, freeing him from this negative debuff.
Just as he was about to continue cultivating, he heard footsteps approaching. He hurriedly put away the spirit stone and looked at the junior sister and Xiao Mi who came in.
Xiao Yu asked excitedly, “Senior brother, you received the deposit from that Mr. Chu, right?”
This was the largest income for the Chen Clan so far, so she was naturally happy.
Besides, senior brother was going to recruit more than 20 people into the Chen Clan today. Once she and Xiao Mi Jie successfully held the Chen Clan National Style Event, there would definitely be many tourists. By then, both waitresses and security would have to be recruited.
The Chen Clan would soon become lively.
If master and mistress were still here, they would definitely be very happy.
Chen Han nodded with a smile. “Yes, we received it.”
Xiao Yu immediately smiled even more. “Senior brother, there is more good news. Tonight, 34 tourists will come to the Chen Clan. They are a large couple group from the city. Tomorrow, 18 people have booked tickets! The day after tomorrow, 15 people, and the day after that, 17 people.”
“I asked around. These people were basically attracted by that video of yours, ‘Shock! Demonic cult rogue stripped…’ and then, after seeing related videos, learned about the Chen Clan Ancient Architecture Tourism and decided to come.”
As she said this, Xiao Yu looked a bit dejected. “Senior brother, you filmed such an abstract goofy video, yet it turned out to be more effective than my serious promotional videos. I feel like I took a critical hit.”
Xiao Mi smiled, knowing the reason. Xiao Yu had more than six hundred thousand fans, but they were fans attracted by her sword dance and boxing, by her heroic, graceful figure. They were not necessarily interested in tourism.
So although she filmed the Chen Clan Ancient Architecture promotional video seriously and with effort, the video data was not good. The highest only had a few thousand likes, the lowest less than two thousand, so naturally it could not attract many tourists.
Look at Chen Han’s “Shock! Demonic cult rogue stripped…”, it had already exceeded three hundred thousand likes.
She could almost be sure the video had been pushed by Douyin’s algorithm.
Judging by a 1:10 ratio, the views were at least over three million. So many people saw it, noticed that Chen Clan tourism seemed nice, full of antique charm and high ornamental value, so being attracted to come was normal.
Quite a few of them might even want to see performances from those Lion Head Geese.
Although Chen Han knew his junior sister was pretending to be dejected, he was not stingy with praise. “Junior sister’s contribution to the Chen Clan is the greatest. You not only attracted many tourists, but also arranged many matters of the Chen Clan in good order. Without you, I would not know what to do.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu was delighted and even a bit proud. “Senior brother, really?”
“Would I lie to you?” Chen Han said with a smile.
“I am not that good!” The junior sister’s words were modest, but the upturned corners of her lips showed she had completely accepted the praise.
Seeing the smile she could not suppress, Xiao Mi could not help but shake her head. What an easily satisfied girl.
Xiao Yu then remembered the serious matter and said, “Senior brother, there is another thing. Only 23 guest rooms in our Chen Clan have air conditioners. They are enough for the 34-person couple group from the city, but when the tourists who booked tickets for tomorrow and the next day arrive, it will not be enough at all. So time is tight. We must urgently install air conditioners tomorrow. It is best to confirm and place the air conditioner order tonight.”
Hearing this, Chen Han remembered the sect residence attribute of ‘warm in winter and cool in summer +2’. With this attribute, why would they need air conditioners?
So he said, “There is no rush for this. I already have a method. I will handle it now.”
As he spoke, he picked up his mobile phone and called his uncle. Once the call connected, he asked, “Uncle, have the persimmon, bamboo, and red plum blossom potted plants I asked you to order arrived?”
On the other side, Chen Lin answered immediately after receiving the call. “Yes, they have arrived. Do you want them now?”
“Uncle, send them to my courtyard,” Chen Han instructed.
At first, when Xiao Yu heard that her senior brother had a method, she felt relieved. When she saw him pick up the mobile phone, she thought he was going to handle the air conditioner issue. Who knew he was calling Uncle and asking about persimmon, bamboo, and red plum potted plants?
What did those have to do with air conditioners?
Speechless, she said, “Senior brother, now is the time to contact the air conditioner people. Why are you worrying about potted plants?”
Even Xiao Mi felt he was being unreliable. Even if he wanted to play with potted plants, he should wait until things were settled. Look at how anxious Xiao Yu was about this.
“These potted plants are the air conditioners,” Chen Han said with a grin.
“???” Xiao Yu.
“???” Xiao Mi.
