I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 42: Chapter 36: Blood Binding! Chen Lin: Am I Seeing Things?

[Beast Taming Flute (Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose): This is the magical artifact used by spirit beast raising families to control the spirit beasts they raise. The spirit beast raising family will brand the beast-taming spiritual pattern on the spirit beasts when they’re young to establish a connection with the beast taming flute. Through the beast taming flute, they can control the spirit beasts. It is rumored that this magic was passed down from the Beast Taming Sect. However, the sect was wiped out during the era of Changmei Daoist Ren Shou by the Demon Sect. Later, someone established the Immortal Bird Sect, which only possessed the Spirit Bird Taming Technique, and some disciples returned to their hometowns to establish spirit beast raising families!

This beast taming flute is now specifically used by the Chen Family to control the spirit beast Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose, acquired through trading spirit stones with the spirit beast raising family.

The special control skills of the Beast Taming Flute (Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose): 1. Guardian. 2. Array Formation. 3. Charge. 4. Overbearing Energy.

Limitations: 1. Can only be used after binding with blood. 2. Play the correct notes (unsealed).

Note: The sheet music of the notes has been sealed on the beast taming flute by the spirit beast raising family and needs to be unsealed before use. You don’t recognize the sealing rune, quickly ask the family spirit beast elder to establish the Spirit Beast Hall and unseal the flute!

Chen Han was very curious about this beast taming flute after reading the notes.

Especially looking at the 100 Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese squawking in front of him, he wanted to know how their skills like Guardian, Array Formation, Charge, Overbearing Energy worked.

However, unsealing the flute’s seal is more important now, for that, the spirit beast elder must be consulted.

So, he asked Chen Lin, ”Little Uncle, so many geese need someone to care for them daily. Do you think Sixth Uncle could do it?”

Chen Lin nodded upon hearing this: ”Sixth Uncle usually likes raising a few lion-headed geese, definitely not a problem, give him a salary, and he’ll care for these geese like they’re his grandchildren.”

Chen Han laughed, truly recognized by the clan as the spirit beast elder.

He asked again, ”Then how much should we pay Sixth Uncle?”

Chen Lin explained, ”Just like a server’s pay, it’s mainly just feeding the geese occasionally. The ordered feed will be delivered, and Sixth Uncle won’t need to do physical work. But are you sure using these lion-headed geese for videos will be effective? Otherwise, raising them just wastes money.”

”Little Uncle, I’m confident,” Chen Han was not concerned about spending money or not; he cared whether these Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese could help him with the Dog Demon Meat sale, knowing that a dish made from Dog Demon Meat is priced at 20,000 a portion.

20,000 can buy quite a few lion-headed geese.

”As long as you know,” Chen Lin said as he took out his phone to make a call. Once the call was connected, he said, ”Sixth Uncle, come to the sheep pen where you used to keep sheep, there’s good news, Xiaohan wants you to raise geese for 3,500 a month.”

On the other side, the old man feeding geese couldn’t believe it upon hearing the news: ”Xiaolinzi, don’t lie to me; you were the biggest liar when you were young.”

”Sixth Uncle, I’m old enough, come over,” Chen Lin said, a bit speechless, hanging up the phone.

He’s a man in his forties, still reminded of his childhood scars by others. Fortunately, Sixth Uncle didn’t mention the story of a childhood disease, when worms made his private part swell, and only Sixth Uncle’s goose cured him.

That truly was an embarrassing experience.

Afterward, he checked the sheep pen’s condition, considering potential repairs, as these geese were bought with real money by his nephew, ensuring no issues arise.

When Chen Han felt unnoticed by his little uncle, he took the beast taming flute from the warehouse—a wholly dark green flute, engraved with intricate spiritual patterns, exceptionally beautiful, seemingly mysterious.

This flute was made of unique material—not bamboo, not wood, nor regular metal.

After examining the beast taming flute, he remembered one of its limitations—that only blood-bound users could use it. Meaning, even if the notes were given to others, they wouldn’t be able to control these Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese.

This was excellent.

Thus, the next step was the blood binding.

He hurried back to his residence, grabbed a needle, disinfected it with alcohol, and pricked his finger.

”You can’t stand firm if you’re not ruthless to yourself,” indicating he would draw enough blood.

Soon, blood gathered from his fingertip, unable to flow down, requiring a dab on the beast taming flute with his finger.

This showed he controlled the force well, healing quickly without needing hospital care.

However, as soon as the blood touched the beast taming flute, it emitted light, his blood slowly integrating into the flute.

At the sheep pen, Chen Lin welcomed an old man arriving—Sixth Uncle Chen Liu.

The names were straightforward.

5th Uncle was Chen Wu.

4th Uncle was Chen Si.

Only his father was named Chen Xuan. His formal name was Ding Xuan, chosen by his grandfather to match the future patriarch’s aura.

Due to two catastrophic setbacks, the Chen Family fell into decline, especially the second, where all elders were imprisoned and never emerged, ascending instead—a kick was received before even entering.

Hence, the Chen Family faced severe interruptions, leading to current hardships, otherwise...

Upon seeing the courtyard full of lion-headed geese, his eyes brightened.

His son was working in the city with his wife, renting a place; his grandson followed, studying at school in the city, unwilling to return during holidays, unable to endure the rural hardships and monotony, visiting only during New Year to reconnect.

What could he do, son needed to support the family?

Therefore, his bond with his geese rivaled that with his grandson, caring for them like they were his own grandchildren wasn’t an exaggeration.

Moreover, animals have spirituality, those geese were close to him.

Seeing so many now...

He asked, ”Xiaolinzi, why did Xiaohan buy so many lion-headed geese?”

”Xiaohan said he wants to shoot videos, using this to promote Chen Family tourism,” Chen Lin explained.

Upon hearing this, Chen Liu said, ”I can raise them, but they mustn’t be slaughtered carelessly. If someone wants to eat, you can kill one or two to stew but can’t use them to entertain guests.”

Chen Lin wasn’t sure if this demand was reasonable.

Raising so many geese, if Xiaohan’s video isn’t effective, surely they’d be killed.

But while pondering, he witnessed an eerie scene.

The geese, once noisily squawking, suddenly fell silent, stretching their necks in unison, fixating intensely on him, unmoving.

Behind Chen Lin was precisely the direction of Chen Han’s yard, evidently due to Chen Han binding the beast taming flute with blood.

Yet to Chen Lin, it seemed the geese were watching him.

What does it feel like to be silently stared at by 100 lion-headed geese?

Chen Lin instinctively swallowed, his back tingling.

Had he encountered some strange event?

Even Chen Liu was stunned,

Raising geese for so long, he never saw 100 stretching necks, staring uniformly at one person.

Fortunately, the Chen Family held Taoist origins, and as an elder well-acquainted with spiritual matters, he believed in such mysticism.

So, he hastily told Chen Lin, ”Xiaolin, they’re waiting for your reply. You must promise not to use them for entertaining guests, haven’t you heard stories of cattle shedding tears, kneeling before slaughter, pleading with their master? Otherwise, you’ll face trouble, even shorten your life.”

Chen Lin felt startled, added by Sixth Uncle’s words, his heart raced.

In the scorching heat, why feel so cold?

He didn’t believe a promise was all it took.

Thus, he said quickly, ”I won’t kill them, okay? I’ll convince Xiaohan not to use them for entertaining guests.”

With those words, the geese gazing at him returned to normal, squawking away as usual.

In the room, Chen Han held the restored beast taming flute, utterly surprised.

His blood fully integrated into the flute, showing no surface irregularity, he even sensed a mental connection with it.

This should be the result of the game system’s blood binding.

On the other side, seeing the geese revert to normal, Chen Lin sensed cold sweat dampening his back.

He felt like he had seen ghosts.

These geese truly understood????
