I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 43: Chapter 37: Xiaomi: Are You Going to Play the Flute for Geese?

[Congratulations, you have successfully bound the Beast Taming Flute (Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose). The Spirit Beast Elder is in the Spirit Beast Hall. Please find the Spirit Beast Elder and let him help unseal the runes on the Beast Taming Flute to obtain the correct notes for controlling the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose!]

Chen Han didn’t hesitate, rushed out of the courtyard, and soon arrived at the sheepfold. Looking at the entrance gate of the sheepfold, he thought it should have a sign with a new name.

So, upon seeing Little Uncle and Sixth Uncle, who were talking with strange expressions at the entrance, he said, ”Little Uncle, make a sign later, carve the words ’Spirit Beast Hall’ on it, and hang it on this gate!”

Chen Lin quickly said, ”Xiaohan, put the sign matters aside for now. I need to tell you, Sixth Uncle just insisted we can’t use these Lion-headed Geese to entertain tourists. It’s like these Lion-headed Geese understood, and they all quieted down in unison, even stretched out their necks to stare at me.”

”Xiaohan, you have no idea how scary that was. I broke out in a cold sweat, there’s something sinister about these geese!”

Chen Liu immediately scolded, ”Xiaolinzi, what nonsense are you talking about? There is nothing sinister, it’s spirit. Didn’t you see when you said not to use them to entertain tourists, they returned to normal? You promised and failed can shorten your life.”

Listening to their words, Chen Han guessed what was going on. It should be when he dropped blood to bind the Beast Taming Flute, these Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese sensed it and acted strangely.

Little Uncle seemed quite frightened.

However, he pretended not to know, ”Little Uncle, why are you and Sixth Uncle making such a fuss, they are just some Lion-headed Geese.”

Chen Lin, seeing he didn’t believe, hurriedly explained, ”Xiaohan, I’m not lying to you, everything I said is true. That scene was terrifying.”

Chen Liu, perhaps because he has raised so many geese and is close to them, wasn’t worried and said, ”What is there to be afraid of? It’s great if animals have spirit; treat them well, and they will be close to you, far better than ungrateful people.”

Chen Han also smiled and said to Chen Liu, ”Sixth Uncle, I’ll leave these Lion-headed Geese to you to take care of. Don’t worry, we won’t use them to entertain tourists.”

In his mind, he was figuring out how to let the Spirit Beast Elder unseal the runes on the Beast Taming Flute. He couldn’t just hand over the flute and ask, ’Sixth Uncle, help me unseal it.’”

Even if Sixth Uncle might think he is crazy.

But Chen Liu said at this time, ”Xiaohan, didn’t the people from the farm give you a whistle? They said they trained for feeding. I’ll train these Lion-headed Geese a bit over the next few days to get them familiar with the new place.”

Chen Han nodded and handed over the whistle given by the farm to Sixth Uncle.

Sixth Uncle, upon receiving the whistle, immediately blew it. When the loud whistle sounded, it was evident the Lion-headed Geese reacted, and some even started running around like headless chickens.

Feeding training is common in many poultry farms, mainly to develop habitual behavior.

Sometimes there’s no need for special training; after feeding in one place for a while, they come running on their own.

For instance, in many chicken farms, when they see people coming, they rush over, full of enthusiasm and flirtatious charm.

Thus the saying: ”With rice in hand, the chickens come.”

”They’re responding, that makes it simpler.” Looking at the state of those Lion-headed Geese, Chen Liu said, ”Now we just need to give them a new feeding spot and repeat the training a few times.”

Following Sixth Uncle’s words, Chen Han was surprised to see a game prompt appearing in his mind:

[Congratulations, after the Spirit Beast Elder’s research on the Beast Taming Flute, he has helped unseal its runes and provided you with the control notes for the special skills of the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose: ’Guardian, Array Formation, Charge, Overbearing Energy’!]

He evidently hadn’t expected it to be so simple. He immediately looked toward the storage and indeed saw there was now a set of notation data.

[Beast Taming Flute Control Notes (Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose): These are the relevant notes for a Beast Taming Flute. By playing these notes, you can control the corresponding spiritual beast. Do you want to use it?]

Chen Han didn’t hesitate at all.

A moment later, as the notation data turned into gleaming light and vanished in the storage, four segments of notational data appeared in his mind. The notes seemed deeply engraved in his memory, including the methods of playing these notes.

The first segment, controlling the ’Guardian’ mode for the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose, seemed the simplest.

Yet when he picked up the Beast Taming Flute and tried to blow it, he found himself embarrassed.

Because he hadn’t learned how to play the flute at all.

Even though he now had the notes and knew how to play them, with no foundation in flute playing, it all sounded chaotic, lacking a pleasant tone, only coming out hoarse.

The Lion-headed Geese offered no response in return.

Three consecutive attempts ended the same way.

This was akin to Supreme Changmei Ren Shou receiving a cultivation technique infusion, still needing considerable time to fully grasp the concept.

Clearly, he would have to first get familiar with playing the flute.

So, he instructed Little Uncle, ”Little Uncle, remember to set up a Spirit Beast Hall sign outside later, for a video shoot afterward.”

”Got it,” Chen Lin sighed, his gaze fixed on those Lion-headed Geese.

Why wasn’t Xiaohan believing him?

Being stared down by 100 Lion-headed Geese earlier was indeed a bit unnerving.

Chen Han also returned to Little Uncle’s courtyard; the herbal cuisine should be almost ready by now.

Just as he reached the kitchen, his junior sister happily ran in, ”Senior Brother, Mr. Zhao invited some friends over and asked if there is herbal cuisine today. He wants to buy another portion.”

”Mr. Zhao, eh, this pot is almost done, so let’s give it to him!” Chen Han smiled and said, having just bought these 100 Lion-headed Geese, leaving him with only 37,000 left. An additional income of 20,000 was always good.

It’s just that the current tourist volume is still lacking. At this rate, the income is not keeping up with the spending. If there were more wealthy people like Mr. Zhao, it would be much better.

”Okay, then I’ll go tell Mr. Zhao!” Xiaoyu nodded and left the kitchen again.

Seeing this, Chen Han took out a piece of Dog Demon Meat from the storage and started preparing it again, then used another pot to brew a new portion of herbal cuisine. After that, he picked up the Beast Taming Flute and began practicing again.

By noon, Chen Lin returned to prepare lunch, saying, ”Xiaohan, the Spirit Beast Hall sign you requested has been completed and hung up. You can film the video now.”

”Okay.” Chen Han nodded.

Just as Little Uncle finished making lunch, Shimei brought Aunt Yanfang to the kitchen again.

”Patriarch.” Huang Yanfang pushed a catering cart and respectfully greeted Chen Han.

”Senior Brother, we’re here to take the herbal cuisine for Mr. Zhao.” Shimei said, already helping Huang Yanhong put the simmered herbal cuisine onto the cart, then pushed it away.

Before long, they arrived at the restaurant in the visitor service center, serving the herbal cuisine to Zhao Kang’s table, surrounded by 5 or 6 middle-aged men who were chatting and laughing when the herbal cuisine was delivered.

Seeing the herbal cuisine being served, Zhao Kang said, ”This is the Chen Family Heritage Herbal Cuisine I was talking about. Quick, give it a try.”

This made the others laugh and say:

”Is it really that impressive?”

”Yeah, I must taste it myself to see.”

”...”

”I told you, you wouldn’t believe it.” Zhao Kang said, taking a few sheets of paper to cushion his hand, and opened the lid of the stew pot.

At that moment, the enticing aroma of herbal cuisine wafted out, instantly attracting everyone at the table, their eyes filled with amazement.

The fragrance alone was enough to make mouths water.

Zhao Kang already took a bowl and served each person a portion of herbal cuisine; these people were acquaintances of his, quite influential in the county.

Chen Family Heritage Herbal Cuisine is undoubtedly remarkable, with its magical feeling, definitely offering the benefits of strengthening the body and a big boost.

But a pot costs 20,000, and it’s not something he can afford to eat every day. Moreover, he can’t finish a whole stew pot by himself, so he thought of fishing.

Fishing requires baiting, and now the fish have tasted the herbal cuisine, the baiting has begun. He doesn’t believe these folks won’t be captivated by the Chen Family Heritage Herbal Cuisine.

He’s hosting today, and since he’s still recuperating here recently, if these people order the Chen Family Herbal Cuisine, would they feel comfortable not inviting him?

One bowl of herbal cuisine down, and everyone at the table clearly showed amazed expressions.

”Did you feel it? That wonderful sensation?”

”You felt it too? This feeling of comfort.”

”...”

Zhao Kang wasn’t surprised by their astonished expressions; he had felt the same initially.

One person immediately said, ”This herbal cuisine is incredible; my whole body feels warm, as if my rheumatic pains have vanished. Guys, come back tomorrow noon, I’ll order another portion of this herbal cuisine here!”

Another person said, ”If President Lin says so, then I’ll also order one the day after tomorrow.”

Zhao Kang revealed a smile, well, the baiting succeeded, the fish took the hook.

...

Afternoon.

When Chen Han practiced the first notes of the Beast Taming Flute smoothly, and the notes were very pleasant and light, he could try the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose’s guardian skills, and conveniently shoot some video material.

He needed someone to act as a cameraman when he played the Beast Taming Flute.

The new herbal stew had been simmering for 2 hours, and the water in the stew pot started to decrease. He quickly boiled water, added it to the stew pot, and continued slowly simmering.

”Smells great, Chen Han, are you making herbal cuisine again?” Xiaomi’s voice rang out, revealing her in a purple plain Hanfu dress like Shimei, looking gentle and charming.

”You’re just in time. I want to shoot a video, would you mind being my cameraman for a while?” Chen Han invited with a smile, and Xiaomi had no intention of rejecting such a request, so she followed him outside.

Soon, they reached the sheep pen, now the Spirit Beast Hall, where a wooden plaque was hung at the entrance, displaying the words ’Spirit Beast Hall’ painted with red lacquer.

Xiaomi looked at the plaque in astonishment, noticing Chen Han already filming the Spirit Beast Hall with his phone: ”I, the Patriarch, have spent a considerable amount of Spirit Stones and traded with the family raising spiritual beasts for 100 Spirit Beast: Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese, now specially using methods taught by the family Spirit Beast Elder to tame these Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese.”

Xiaomi knew he was filming one of those humorous cultivation videos again, having watched all his previous videos, feeling embarrassed.

Watching him film now felt even more embarrassing, especially upon entering and seeing the so-called Spirit Beast Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese were just a group of large geese.

Didn’t he feel awkward filming this?

Inside, Chen Han held the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror, capturing the lion-headed geese in a close-up, then handed the phone to Xiaomi, instructing: ”Xiaomi, now you must act as my cameraman.”

Xiaomi nodded, taking the phone, only to see him holding a flute at some point.

She seemed to realize his intention.

Was he going to play the flute to this flock of geese?

But isn’t this like playing music to cows?
