I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 34: Chapter 30: The Fairy Is Coming, Everyone’s Here for the Fun!

(A reader pointed out that magnetic fields are a modern concept; it has been changed. In ancient Taoist beliefs, there were several interpretations for magnetic fields. Here, the body’s magnetic field is considered as Qi, and the environmental magnetic field as Earth Qi. Readers who have seen the changes need not worry!)

...

Chen Han was puzzled. These Dog Demons fought twice before; how are they merging now?

When in doubt, ask AI.

He pulled out his phone to check.

After reading, he was truly speechless.

Turns out, dogs are pack animals. In a group, they instinctively fight to determine hierarchy and establish order. Once a fight has a result, they stop fighting and switch to a relatively friendly interaction and cooperative state. So, in many rural areas, you can often see dogs roaming in packs.

Sometimes, when a domestic dog is eating but hears a call from outside, it dashes off, leaving its meal as if summoned, and the owner can’t call it back.

”...” Chen Han understood, the Dog Demons outside the village lost three times, and the little mutt in the village has established its status.

Turns out, the dog is also playing the ”can’t beat ’em, join ’em” game.

Damn!

The stray dogs outside the village are hopeless, aren’t they? That little mutt isn’t even that big in the pack, how did it manage to subdue them all?

Indeed, the weak fear the strong, the strong fear the domineering, and the domineering fear those who are reckless.

This little mutt was so fierce and tough that after three gang fights, even he had to be convinced.

Seeing its broken tail, it must be the kind to bite back fiercely even if its tail was bitten off.

Now that this fierce character has upgraded to become the Dog Demon King, in the game plot, it’s certainly not good for the family.

Chen Han sighed and looked again at the Dog Demon battle spot. Even though the Dog Demons had merged, a piece of bloody Dog Demon Meat was still left behind, wrapped in a faint white glow, floating there.

He went over and placed this piece of Dog Demon Meat into his storage.

Looking at the stored Dog Demon Meat, unable to incite another Dog Demon internal conflict, these might just be the final reserves.

He wondered if organizing family experts to eliminate the Dog Demons would result in more Dog Demon Meat?

He thought about trying it sometime.

Thinking so, Chen Han sighed and returned to the Chen Family, heading to Little Uncle’s courtyard.

Little Uncle wasn’t there, probably busy helping with his orchid matters.

He also took out a piece of Dog Demon Meat to start processing it, preparing the medicinal meal for the day.

Previously, processing Dog Demon Meat left him gasping for breath, needing to rest several times before managing one portion. Today, though still gasping, he noticeably felt much better.

It wasn’t just because his lifespan increased significantly.

The dual Spiritual Energy Flush, and cultivating the ”Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method,” also provided nourishing and strengthening effects on his body with refined True Qi.

But the medicinal ingredients in Little Uncle’s cabinet were running low, so he took out his phone to order some from an old traditional Chinese medicine shop in the county.

By noon, the medicinal meal was ready, and Little Uncle returned: ”Xiaohan, as soon as I got back, I smelled the aroma of your medicinal meal.”

”The medicinal meal is just ready.” As Chen Han processed it, he also instructed Little Uncle: ”Little Uncle, call the junior sister, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng to come over for the medicinal meal.”

A big pot of medicinal meal won’t retain its essence if not consumed quickly. Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng, the family’s high-ranking warriors, have some good fortune.

However, both uncles were honest and hardworking, always supporting him as the Patriarch, so these family masters must be well-cultivated.

”Senior brother, every time I eat your medicinal meal, I feel very comfortable.” Xiaoyu couldn’t help but exclaim.

Chen Han purposely said, ”And you still don’t believe that there’s an array under the Chen Family? Wait till I research it, you’ll be surprised.”

Of course, he was laying some groundwork.

Anyway, he was just saying not to be too surprised later; these are recorded in the Chen Family’s ancient texts, the arrays are all thanks to the ancestors’ efforts.

”Senior brother, here you go again!” Xiaoyu was speechless, senior brother really believed what was written in the ancient texts.

”What array?” Chen Lin was curious.

Xiaoyu explained, ”Senior brother found a book called ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ in the Chen Family library, which said there were arrays under the Chen Family’s ground, clearly unreliable.”

Chen Lin was embarrassed, how could you tell if it was reliable?

Anyway, the Chen Family is a Taoist heritage family, there are endless unreliable legends.

He didn’t pay much attention to this but instead said, ”Xiaohan, the orchids you asked me to prepare yesterday are ready at the Flower Cultivation Base and will be sent over this afternoon, aiming to plant them all by evening.”

Saying this, he instinctively glanced at Xiaoyu with a knowing smile.

Xiaoyu accurately caught Little Uncle’s gaze, her face slightly blushing.

This should be the surprise senior brother is preparing for her?

She looked at senior brother, her eyes turning a bit watery, senior brother suddenly became romantic!

Chen Han noticed junior sister staring directly at him, that look was... off.

He looked at her suspiciously: ”Junior sister, what’s wrong?”

”Nothing, just thinking senior brother looks very good,” Xiaoyu held back her smile.

Senior brother probably didn’t know she already knew everything.

Thinking about it, she also didn’t forget to take credit: ”Senior brother, Sister Xiaomi is coming today, she should arrive by evening. I’ll pick her up in the city in the afternoon. Once Sister Xiaomi is here, we should take the opportunity to let her help promote the Chen Family, it will definitely become a hot topic.”

”...” Chen Han was suddenly taken aback by this news, it seemed to come too fast.

The Baihua Palace Fairy is eagerly coming to wipe out the Chen Family?

The impending doom was on his mind as he returned absent-mindedly to his courtyard until there was a commotion outside.

It was Little Uncle bringing in a group of people.

The people were all carrying various types of orchids.

”Everyone, put the orchids here first.” Little Uncle instructed the people, and after leaving one behind, the others went out to bring in more orchids.

To fill his courtyard, naturally, this amount wasn’t enough.

Chen Lin said with a smile, ”Xiaohan, I’ve already talked to the flower cultivation base, the people they send over will help plant the orchids. If you have any requests, you can tell them to Master Li.”

”Mr. Chen, hello.” Master Li, who stayed behind, greeted Chen Han with a big smile, ”If you have any plans for planting, you can tell us.”

Chen Han didn’t have any plans, but he said, ”Master Li, can you plant them so that no one can tell they’re newly planted, and make them look like they’ve been planted for a long time?”

Master Li was puzzled by this.

This was the first time he’d heard a customer make such a request.

However, after thinking for a while, he said, ”We can work on it, cover it with dry old soil after planting, making it look like it has just had fertilizer overturned.”

”Okay, that’s all we can do,” Chen Han nodded.

He certainly didn’t want Xiaomi to notice that he had just planted them to assuage her.

As the orchids were moved in, Master Li started inspecting the yard, checking the soil quality, then began planting with his crew.

With nothing much he could help with, after describing his general needs to them, Chen Han went aside and started editing today’s video of the Dog Demon infighting.

Unexpectedly, the Dog Demon had merged forces, this video would surely make a lot of people laugh today.

Hopefully, those Daoist friends and Immortal Venerables can take it lightly and pay some attention.

Time passed by, and one by one the orchids were planted in the yard.

The entire yard couldn’t actually be filled with orchids, as enough space for activities had to be left.

The planting in other areas entirely depended on the design plan.

The proposal from Master Li and his people wasn’t very impressive, but fortunately, they were experienced, so by evening, when they finished planting the orchids in the yard, it was still very eye-catching.

There was truly a feeling of entering an orchid fairyland, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.

”Mr. Chen, do you think it’s satisfactory? If so, please sign here,” Master Li said, handing a form to him.

Overall, Chen Han was very satisfied, so he readily signed the form for him.

Their sincere attitude and satisfactory service naturally couldn’t be delayed, and intentionally causing trouble over unnecessary matters to assert one’s presence is an act that diminishes one’s good fortune in the Taoist Sect.

”Thank you, Mr. Chen.” Master Li said, handing over a business card as well, ”If you have any issues with the orchids, you can call me for consultation.”

”I will.” Chen Han nodded.

After Master Li and the flower cultivation base people left, Chen Lin smiled while admiring the scene of the orchids vying for beauty, ”Xiaohan, this fully-blooming yard of orchids is really beautiful, Xiaoyu will definitely like it when she comes back.”

Chen Han laughed, ”Even if Junior Sister likes it, it doesn’t matter, it’s not related to her.”

”What? Isn’t it planted for Xiaoyu?” Chen Lin was obviously taken aback for a moment.

”Who told you it’s planted for Junior Sister?” Chen Han asked in confusion.

”...” Chen Lin felt something was amiss, suddenly wanting to slap himself across the face, hurriedly changing the subject, ”Xiaohan, I have a few things to handle on my side, need to go first.”

With that said, he casually walked out, pretending not to know about the matter.

Well, heading to the county tonight to find friends for a drink.

Chen Han didn’t think much of it either, happily admiring the yard of orchids again, then sat on the recliner.

Flowers can cheer a person up, being surrounded by a yard full of orchids indeed improved his mood a lot, and today’s video of inciting Dog Demon infighting was already edited, which he uploaded directly to the Patriarch Chen account.

The Patriarch Chen account already had close to 500 followers, not many but still enough for some subscribers to receive update notifications.

Like Chu Hao, who saw the notification while swiping through Douyin videos.

”This lunatic updated again?” Chu Hao couldn’t help but complain, feeling a bit bored seeing yet another incitement of Dog Demon.

Chu Hao complained especially after listening to what Patriarch Chen said.

”For the safety of the family, this Patriarch has also been painstakingly trying, hoping that in some future year, descendants may remember me as a heroic Patriarch.”

A heroic Patriarch, all you do is these dog things against dogs all day long, descendants might be ashamed to mention you.

Just as he was thinking, he fast-forwarded to the Dog Demon battle place, their fight really had an imposing feel.

But as these dogs finished fighting, the video showed a shocking scene, the dogs outside the village lost, and this time didn’t flee, but directly followed inside the village.

They were conquered.

This is something he didn’t expect.

Upon hearing Patriarch Chen’s ”Whoa,” he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He could imagine Patriarch Chen’s shock, probably didn’t expect this to happen either?

After watching the video, he opened the comment section for a look, and was amused, all comments were scoffing at Patriarch Chen:

”Hahaha, this Daoist laughed, Incited Dog Demon, and they merged.”

”Dog Demon: Feels like there’s a Demon sabotaging us, let’s suspend the feud, and deal with him first, tremble, Patriarch Chen.”

”Daoist, Dog Demon already unified, is your family facing a catastrophe now?”

”...”

These people, like Patriarch Chen, are all fun-seekers.

The phone rang, he answered, and a voice from the other side came through: ”Hello, I’m from ** Express, there’s a package for you!”

”Express? What is it?” Chu Hao inquired.

The other side answered, ”It’s sent from the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex, don’t know exactly what it is.”

Chu Hao knew what it was.

Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea!

Well, he’s a fun-seeker too, really bought this thing, that Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea video comment section was full of people scoffing at him.

Luckily no one knows he bought it.

He really wants to see what’s so special about this thing!
