Chapter 82: 123, Drop The Link! Divine Medicine!
Chen Han stared blankly at that speck of starlight-like thing. There was no need to guess what came from that spot; it was definitely rabbit droppings.
Because the droings were small, the system’s White Light wrapping them made them look like a speck of starlight.
But what did droppings mean?
This was the surprise the system was talking about?
He suddenly felt the system had a bit of a nasty sense of humor.
However, out of curiosity, he still reached out and picked up that pellet of droppings and stored it in the warehouse.
But when he withdrew his hand, he noticed that little white fellow was staring at him with a pair of clear, round eyes, as if curious why this big guy in front of it was stealing its droppings. At the same time, it slowly lowered its raised rear and started eating the tea leaves beside it again.
“……” For some reason, facing that white little fellow’s clear gaze, Chen Han felt an inexplicable sense of shame. He quickly put the glass lid back on and then checked the remark information for the droppings:
【Moon Gazing Sand（Poison）: this is spiritual medicine excreted by the Moon Gazing Rabbit using its own special traits. Because it was captured by rogue cultivators, the Moon Gazing Rabbit absorbed insufficient moonlight, causing the Moon Gazing Sand toxin to remain unpurified and inedible. As for what negative effects the toxin has, they can only be known after tasting it! 】
“???” Seeing the remark information, Chen Han thought he had misread it.
Rabbit poop was rabbit poop, yet it had been given such an artistic name as Moon Gazing Sand.
The key point was, rabbit poop could be eaten?
Also, who discovered this thing could be eaten?
Who was the first to eat it?
And finally, why would anyone in their right mind go eat this stuff?
He suddenly felt a bit ignorant, but he also knew the game system would not randomly generate something for no reason; there had to be some purpose.
He immediately took out his mobile phone and searched online for Moon Gazing Sand, and he really was shocked; turns out wild rabbit droppings were actually Chinese medicine.
The key point was that the online introduction was quite detailed. Moon Gazing Sand, length 9-12 millimeters, diameter 6-9 millimeters, rough surface, containing plant fibers, rarely foul when fresh, odorless when dry, slightly bitter and pungent in taste. The best quality was dry, yellow in color, unbroken, and free of dirt and sand impurities.
Moreover, the effects of Moon Gazing Sand were impressive, such as removing nebulae and brightening the eyes, that is, treating corneal nebulae, cataracts, restoring vision, and so on for eye diseases.
It was just that the actual effect was debated. In fact, some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were debunking it, saying that nowadays the high-quality Moon Gazing Sand sold online at 300 yuan per kilogram was all artificially cultivated droppings with no effect at all.
Buying that stuff was basically paying to eat poop.
At this, Chen Han really stared at the four wild rabbits in surprise.
So this was the surprise the game system mentioned for raising Moon Gazing Rabbits?
It was just that what he had checked now was only the Chinese medicine attributes of Moon Gazing Sand. The actual effects given by the game system were still unknown, and the one in the warehouse was poisonous sand, so he had to wait for the Moon Gazing Rabbits to excrete again.
Night.
After dinner, his uncle reported to him about the costs for the Flower Sea of Five Offerings Flowers.
The cost for the 4000-square-meter flower sea was not small, especially for several of the Five Offerings Flowers like peonies and orchids. Even without blossoms, mature plants were more expensive. Just the flower costs alone would be 650,
Then there were other items such as initial soil improvement, fertilizing, planting labor, and so on, about 30 yuan per square meter, which came to 120,
There was also the irrigation system. Because the 2000-square-meter areas and each flower bed were scattered and they needed to use the same water reservoir for irrigation, the system had to be extended, adding tens of thousands more, totaling 170,
So overall, it would come to 940,
For both the flower deposit and irrigation system deposit, 30% had to be paid up front, which was 246,
He first transferred the 246,000 deposit to his uncle and his junior sister and had them pay it.
After that, he checked his money data: （1,968,300/10,000,000）.
Once the remaining 119,000 for the potted plants and the 658,000 still due for the flower sea were paid, his funds would be down to 1,193,
Also, June was about to end, and in July he had another salary payout to make.
Money really did not last.
Still, for the long-term plan, what needed to be spent had to be spent.
He only hoped that Chu Hao’s final payment for that demonic cult rogue would arrive quickly, and that they would take away the newly stir-fried batch of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. Otherwise, the 10,000,000 requirement for the next upgrade would be a distant dream.
Afterward, Chen Han discussed some detailed matters of the Flower Sea of Five Offerings Flowers with his junior sister and his uncle. Although the flower sea would ultimately follow a Daoist sect layout and be made into a nine-palace pattern, the specific arrangement of flowers between the palaces could be adjusted.
His junior sister was very enthusiastic about this. For a girl, being able to personally create a flower sea was definitely something meaningful.
As for the Zhong Palace position, they would place there a statue of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation at least two meters tall. To show respect, they also had to build a pavilion specifically to shelter the statue of god from wind and rain, which might cost another tens of thousands.
Then there was the matter of worshiping the Heavenly Lord. Although the Chen Clan was no longer officially registered, aside from arranging people to maintain the Heavenly Lord Hall, there was no need for daily worship. But on certain holidays or for specific matters, they still had to offer prayers.
For example, when inviting the new statue of the Heavenly Lord to be placed in the flower sea.
By the time they finished negotiating these matters, it was completely dark.
When Chen Han returned to his own courtyard, he was immediately attracted by the Moon Gazing Rabbit Hutch. On the transparent glass lid, the carvings made by Fifth Uncle were emitting a faint glow, like some kind of glass fluorescence.
It was where the carving had polished the glass crystal, leaving a smooth, exposed surface.
Looking at it now, it seemed as if the runes that gathered moonlight were actually taking effect in reality.
Chen Han glanced at the four wild rabbits inside, then lay down on the lying chair amidst the courtyard filled with orchid fragrance. He took out his mobile phone to check the new video’s data and saw that the Douyin backend was suddenly popping up data increase prompts like crazy.
The speed of those prompts was clearly unusual, much faster than any previous video.
Realizing something, he opened the video and watched for a while. Sure enough, the likes were increasing very quickly, even more ferociously than his previous best-performing video, “Shock! Demonic Cult Rogue Was Stripped Bare…”.
That video had broken 500,000 likes.
Which meant this video might perform even better and would definitely surpass 500,000 likes. At this rate, it might even have a chance to hit one million likes.
Obviously, Chen Han did not know that once again, that amused review editor at Douyin had tipped him S-level resources, and the push stream was in effect.
With this push stream, many people quickly saw the video, and after watching it, they were all a bit stunned.
Those who had never watched the Chen Family Head’s videos at first thought it was purely an abstract video, but when they saw the lion head goose strip someone bare, they could no longer hold it in. Then, hearing that one 《Sword of Fate》 track, they suddenly felt the video instantly transform from abstract nonsense into high-end technical content.
Those who had watched the Chen Family Head’s videos, upon hearing 《Sword of Fate》 again, were also shocked by this move of his. Was this still that abstract Chen Family Head?
In the end, no matter whether they had seen his content before or not, once they saw that family elder with black and yellow smoky teeth and a red armband, they all broke.
This kind of elder’s combat power was truly terrifying.
Everyone believed that no demonic cult rogue would dare bump into him.
At this time, Ming Di was already at a hotel in Ming City. With an early morning return flight the next day, there was no way he could make it back to the Chen Clan side in time.
He had already done his makeup as a demonic path rogue and was planning to start a live stream, when his assistant rushed in, looking astonished. “Boss, the Chen Family Head’s video has blown up again. You can ride the popularity wave once more.”
Hearing this, Ming Di immediately took out his mobile phone and opened the Chen Family Head’s account. Sure enough, he saw the video the other side had posted that afternoon.
He checked the like growth speed of the video and could be sure that the Chen Family Head had definitely received a push stream from Douyin; otherwise, the likes would not be rising this fast.
He tapped to play the video. The earlier content did not surprise him since it was a premeditated abstract stunt; getting stripped twice was indeed an accident.
As for that one targeting his balls, that guy really was quite vile. With such a dirty, below-the-belt attacker, he would really need better protection next time.
But when he saw the Chen Family Head sitting cross-legged on the cow’s back playing music, his eyes widened instantly.
At a glance, he recognized that flute as his lost Jade Bamboo Demonic Flute, which had somehow ended up in the Chen Family Head’s hands. But what truly shocked him was the piece being played, 《Sword of Fate》.
He himself was an expert at the flute and had played this track before, so he naturally understood just how incredible the Chen Family Head was. That kind of captivating performance, as if making people see sword-riding flight scenes before their eyes, was something that, across the entire internet, or even among music professors adept at flute, no one could reproduce.
Suddenly, looking at the Jade Bamboo Demonic Flute in the Chen Family Head’s hands and then at the video data, his eyes lit up. He quickly took out his backup flute, hastily started a live stream, and titled it: Chen Family Head’s Same Model Jade Bamboo Demonic Flute Now Hot-Selling!
He had reason to believe that this Jade Bamboo Demonic Flute would become popular thanks to the Chen Family Head’s performance of 《Sword of Fate》.
Once the stream started, as soon as viewers surpassed one hundred, he began shouting, “Everyone saw the Spirit Shadow Mirror recording of the Chen Family Head. He played an Immortal Melody on the Jade Bamboo Demonic Flute he took from me.”
“I still have refined Jade Bamboo Demonic Flutes of the same model here, hoping to exchange them with you all for some spirit stones, so I can refine new magical artifacts to deal with the Chen Family Head. I hope you all will help me…”
“…Chen Family Head’s same model Jade Bamboo Demonic Flute, 1, 2, 3, link up!”
…
The Chen Clan.
Chen Han had been watching the data for his video until his junior sister and Xiao Mi walked coquettishly into his courtyard, both staring at him in unison.
“Senior brother, we have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
Puzzled, Chen Han saw that their manner was a bit shy and embarrassed.
Xiao Mi smiled and said, “Chen Han, your video blew up, especially that 《Sword of Fate》 track. People have already cut out a separate music clip. Xiao Yu and I want to ride your popularity wave and have you help us shoot a video. You’ll play 《Sword of Fate》, and we’ll do a cosplay transformation video. Xiao Yu and I will cosplay Zhao Ling’er and Lin Yueru, and you’ll cosplay Li Xiaoyao.”
Xiao Yu immediately said, “Sister Xiao Mi and I have already ordered Zhao Ling’er and Lin Yueru’s costumes in Qingmin City, and we ordered Li Xiaoyao’s for you too, senior brother. They’ll arrive tomorrow.”
“I see.” Hearing this, Chen Han nodded.
This was indeed a very good idea.
Mainly, with the Dream Immortal +2 attribute, adding this kind of cosplay with the BGM would definitely bring huge popularity.
After all, Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, and Lin Yueru were unforgettable memories of so many people’s youth.
Thinking of this, he said to his junior sister and Xiao Mi, “I think just one set each might not be enough.”
Xiao Mi and Xiao Yu paused, not quite understanding what he meant.
Chen Han smiled, turned his palm, took the Jade Bamboo Demonic Flute out from the warehouse, and began to play 《Love for Generations》.
There were also Sedum, Xue Jian, and Long Kui.
In that instant, the Dream Immortal +2 attribute activated.
Of course, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mi recognized the track; it was as famous as 《Sword of Fate》.
But this time, as they listened, the same indescribable emotion surged up.
Under the influence of Dream Immortal +2, a film-like scene appeared before their eyes:
A handsome man in armor sternly declaring, “Without that sword, I can still annihilate the enemy army!”
And they instinctively wanted to diss him, “Stop bragging, brother!”
Just as they were immersed, Chen Han’s tune shifted again. He started playing 《Dream Return Immortal Travel》.
Then came Yun Tianhe, Han Lingsha, and Liu Mengli.
The Dream Immortal +2 attribute activated once more.
Xiao Mi had heard this track and seen music videos set to it. In her mind appeared the image of a thatched hut, a blind youth, and a tombstone.
At the time, listening to it, she had not felt much.
Now she suddenly felt a strange, wrenching heartache, a sense of heartbreak.
Her emotions were uncontrollable.
Especially as she looked at Chen Han and thought of his physical condition, her eyes reddened. Moved by the music, tears began to well up.
The song he was playing really made people not dare to listen; it made them want to cry.
Seeing her condition, Chen Han stopped.
He had not expected 《Dream Return Immortal Travel》 to be so powerful under the Dream Immortal +2 attribute.
There was actually another piece, 《Desolation》, but the karma attached to it might be too great, so he had to be cautious…
So he decided to skip it this time. Things that explosive had to be saved for critical moments.
“Sister Xiao Mi, why are you crying?” Xiao Yu noticed and hurried to comfort her, then turned to Chen Han. “Senior brother, why did you play such a painful song?”
“I’m fine.” Xiao Mi adjusted her expression, knowing Chen Han did not want those around him to know about his physical condition. She said to Xiao Yu, “Xiao Yu, we need to order more costumes: Sedum’s, Long Kui’s, and Xue Jian’s, and also Yun Tianhe’s, Han Lingsha’s, and Liu Mengli’s.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu was immediately distracted and left with Xiao Mi, arm in arm.
Seeing them leave, Chen Han went back to his room, washed up, then took out that spirit stone again and started cultivating. While cultivating, he could clearly feel that much of the spiritual energy inside had already been consumed.
One night passed.
Chen Han opened his eyes at the sound of the alarm clock, stopped cultivating, and stored the spirit stone back in the warehouse.
He got up and checked his lifespan. It had already reached twelve years and three months; this time, the increase was even greater.
Then he checked yesterday’s video data. After one night, the new video had already surpassed 300,000 likes, so it definitely looked like it would break one million.
Likewise, this video had already brought him 22,000 fans, bringing his total fans to 65,
The ratio was much better than his purely abstract content before. Perhaps thanks to 《Sword of Fate》, at this rate, this video alone might push him past the 100,000 fans mark.
He checked his reputation: 50,000 reputation （61,885/50,000）.
The reputation requirement for upgrading to a Level One Sect base had now been met.
After reviewing the data, Chen Han washed up and went out, preparing to head to the Special Spiritual Aperture.
Just as he entered the courtyard, aside from the ever-enthusiastic You Fu, his gaze was drawn to the Moon Gazing Rabbit Hutch. Through the gap he could see two specks of starlight floating inside.
He realized what this might be, immediately went forward to open the glass lid, and sure enough saw two Moon Gazing Sand pellets wrapped in White Light. He promptly stored them in the warehouse.
Reading the remark information this time, he could not help but smile. The Moon Gazing Rabbit had succeeded.
【Moon Gazing Sand: this is spiritual medicine condensed through a special method by the Moon Gazing Rabbit after absorbing moonlight. Because it has been purified by moonlight, it no longer contains toxins and can be consumed directly. It has special effects: Bright Eyes +2, Eye Disease Cure +2!
Storage condition: must be stored within spiritually infused wood, or the medicinal effect of Moon Gazing Sand will dissipate! 】
Chen Han stared at the remarks in surprise. The effects were clearly the same as the Moon Gazing Sand described online.
Only this came from a spiritual beast, the Moon Gazing Rabbit, so it was not only real and effective, but all its effects were at +
Bright Eyes +2 was self-explanatory; it could improve vision, make one see more clearly and farther.
That was absolutely incredible.
And Eye Disease Cure +2 meant basically all eye diseases could be treated, right?
That was also incredible.
You had to know, among all kinds of human symptoms, eye diseases were some of the trickiest.
This was practically a divine medicine. Just the Bright Eyes +2 attribute alone made it worth eating even if it was poop.
If this Moon Gazing Sand were sold, what price do you think it should fetch?
