I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 44: Chapter 38: Wait, You Really Know the Beast Taming Technique?

Chen Han had already reached the enclosure holding the Lion-headed Geese, and upon opening it, the geese began to honk chaotically, many of them running outside.

Xiaomi saw this and sighed silently, thinking to herself that since he was making funny cultivation videos, nothing he did would be surprising.

So, she also picked up her phone, aimed the camera at him, and adjusted the angle, lighting, and the curve of his chin.

Chen Han was handsome, but his profile was even more attractive; it was his side profile that first caught her attention.

Adjusting to the best angle, she said, ”I’ve got the angle right, you can start filming now.”

”Okay!” Chen Han nodded, also picked up the Beast Taming Flute and put it to his lips, then added, ”The Spirit Beast Elder taught me four Beast Taming Techniques, now let’s try the first technique ’Guardian’.”

Through the lens, Xiaomi thought that Chen Han looked not only handsome with his side profile but even more so holding the flute, though his mentioning of beast-taming techniques somewhat ruined the charm.

She initially assumed Chen Han was merely pretending to use the flute, but the next moment, a melodious and pleasant flute sound reached her ears.

This surprised her.

Chen Han could actually play?

Then she witnessed an incredible scene; as Chen Han played the flute, the Lion-headed Geese in front of her suddenly quieted down, collectively turning to face him as if summoned.

Xiaomi quickly focused her camera on the geese’s actions, even stepping back a few paces to widen the frame, capturing all the geese staring at Chen Han, deeply shocked.

Soon, an even more unbelievable scene unfolded; after looking at Chen Han, the Lion-headed Geese started running towards him, then gathered around him in an orderly fashion.

Most astonishingly, the geese stretched out their necks and spread their wings, seemingly on guard, watching their surroundings.

My goodness!

Xiaomi’s eyes widened. What had she just witnessed?

Was this what Chen Han meant by Guardian?

Their behavior seemed to suggest they were protecting Chen Han.

Was he truly capable of Beast Taming Techniques?

Chen Han naturally understood what Guardian meant.

So that’s what it is.

All the Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese surrounding him, the Patriarch, providing protection.

Imagine if this were in a game storyline rather than reality, how spectacular would it be to have 100 Spirit Beast Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese surrounding him?

Even setting aside game plots, just the sight of these geese uniformly spreading their wings and stretching their necks around him was already spectacular.

Even a circus probably couldn’t get 100 Lion-headed Geese to do the same act together, right?

Chen Han continued playing the first notes on the Beast Taming Flute, then began walking outside the Spirit Beast Hall, and to the sound of the flute, the Lion-headed Geese also spread their wings, moving their feet to follow him.

Although all were bipedal, their stride naturally couldn’t match Chen Han’s, so they had to move diligently to keep him within their protective circle.

As the spiritual beasts of the Guardian Clan, they spared no effort in protecting the Patriarch.

Xiaomi filmed this scene in a daze, the way the Lion-headed Geese tried so hard to keep pace and protect Chen Han, it felt as if they genuinely feared for his safety.

Yet they were just a bunch of geese, how could they have such thoughts?

Chen Liu returned to his courtyard, herding his own few Lion-headed Geese over. Since rearing so many, he decided to herd his own for companionship, marking them with red strings on their necks to distinguish them.

Upon returning to the barn area, he heard a melodious flute, clear and cheerful.

Turning a corner, he couldn’t believe his eyes and rubbed them in disbelief.

What did he see?

Chen Han playing the flute, while over a hundred Lion-headed Geese with wings spread surrounded him, following as he walked forward.

The scene was truly astonishing.

Even more surprising, his own few Lion-headed Geese, upon seeing this scene, honked and ran over to join, seemingly wanting to rush into the flock.

Under normal circumstances, a few additional Lion-headed Geese suddenly joining would cause a commotion, wouldn’t it?

But the geese around Chen Han didn’t panic, instead, a few flapped their large wings at his geese, clearly in a shooing gesture.

This...

Then he saw his own geese, after being driven away, helplessly join the flock of geese, soon mimicking their actions and following suit.

Though initially, their wing-spreading and walking actions were not quite right, shortly afterward, they were indistinguishable from those other geese.

”???” Chen Liu was utterly dumbstruck.

Chen Han also saw this scene, knowing that Lion-headed Geese had strong social and mimicry abilities; once involved in a group activity, the minority would follow suit, learning by imitation.

He didn’t expect the Beast Taming Flute to have such an additional effect.

Xiaomi also captured the entire scene, giving the old man’s stunned expression a close-up shot.

Then, with a sudden inspiration, she said, ”Haha, the Spirit Beast Elder’s Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese have been controlled by the Patriarch’s Beast Taming Technique. He’s completely stunned.”

She naturally did this to cooperate with Chen Han in making the video. As long as she could help him, even though such remarks were embarrassing and humiliating, it was fine.

Although she didn’t know who this old man was, Chen Han had just mentioned the term ”Spirit Beast Elder.”

So let’s give this old man the identity of a Spirit Beast Elder.

Having mixed on Tiao Yin for so long, she believes that the scene just now of the Spirit Beast Elder being dumbfounded when his spirit beast was controlled would definitely attract many eyeballs.

Chen Han witnessed the skills of the Beast Taming Flute used for guarding and felt it was enough. He continued playing the flute and walked inside, leading those Lion-headed Geese back into the enclosure and closing it again.

When he stopped playing the Beast Taming Flute, the Lion-headed Geese returned to normal, lowered their wings, and began to cackle and bicker within the enclosure.

As he turned around, he saw Xiaomi and Sixth Uncle looking at him with a curious gaze, obviously wanting to know what had just happened.

Xiaomi couldn’t help but ask, ”Chen Han, how did you do that?”

How did he do that?

Of course, Chen Han couldn’t tell the truth, so he made up a story: ”Our Chen Family comes from a Taoist Sect, and there are many ancient texts passed down. I read a miscellaneous Taoist book before, which mentioned that special flute sounds could make poultry perform certain actions.”

”When we bought these Lion-headed Geese, Sixth Uncle could use a whistle to make them react, so I thought I’d give it a try.”

Naturally, all of this was nonsense.

However, since Chen Liu was older and believed these things, especially with Xiaomi, an outsider present, he also wanted outsiders to know the prowess of the Chen Family. Even though he was shocked and bewildered, he said calmly, ”Xiaohan controlled only a few Lion-headed Geese, but in the past, our ancestors of the Chen Family could use this method not only to control geese but even cows.”

As he said this, he also took out a whistle and blew it twice. The Lion-headed Geese reacted, becoming agitated, though they weren’t sure where the food was.

Then, Chen Liu used the bamboo staff he just used to herd the geese and tapped it twice on the enclosure, causing the six geese with red strings on their necks to directly jump over the enclosure and land at his feet.

This made him quite proud; having raised them for so long, these few fellows were quite accustomed to breaking out. So hearing his bamboo tapping elicited a reaction, and it wasn’t for nothing.

Xiaomi watched this scene with surprise yet again; although this wasn’t as impressive as Chen Han, using a whistle to make the Lion-headed Geese break out and land at his feet was pretty impressive too.

Chen Han couldn’t help but give Sixth Uncle a thumbs up.

He’s got skills, even controlling cows!

However, he didn’t want to dwell on this issue any longer, so he took back his phone from Xiaomi and said, ”Let’s go, I need to go back to keep an eye on the medicinal dishes and edit the video.”

Xiaomi immediately caught up, still curious, and asked, ”Chen Han, can your Chen family really use the flute to control cows?”

”Sixth Uncle was just blowing smoke,” Chen Han admitted honestly.

Xiaomi didn’t believe him: ”Stop lying to me, do you think I can’t tell the truth from lies?”

”...” Chen Han really wanted to say, ’It’s a miracle if you can tell.’

Back at Little Uncle’s courtyard, he smelled the enticing aroma of medicinal herbs again. Entering the kitchen, he checked the water level, added some more, and began to edit the footage, naturally splicing today’s video into yesterday’s.

He had to admit, Xiaomi’s filming skills were better than his. Particularly when filming his side profile while holding the flute, she made him look incredibly handsome, almost with an artistic flair.

That shot definitely had to be included.

And the scenes of the Lion-headed Geese being controlled by the Beast Taming Flute naturally had to be included—it was the highlight.

Plus the dumbfounded expression of Sixth Uncle needed to be included, along with Xiaomi’s voice, since before it was always his own narration. Suddenly having such a pleasing female voice would attract the audience.

Unexpectedly, Xiaomi even managed to film the scene where Sixth Uncle tapped the bamboo twice and made those geese jump to his feet.

This can also be kept, as a minor display of skill by the Spirit Beast Elder. Although Sixth Uncle had raised these geese for so long, and each jailbreak resulted in them being herded back, cultivating this habitual behavior, the audience didn’t know that.

Not to mention, with the Beast Taming Flute’s brilliance coming first, others would simply assume the Spirit Beast Elder also had some tricks.

The key point is that the Spirit Beast Elder made an appearance, so he needs some screen time.

Chen Han quickly edited the video. This time, the video was somewhat long, as it included everything from the Dog Demon’s spying, to encountering the Spirit Beast Elder, to purchasing the Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese, to the Elder’s final display.

Title: ”Dog Demon Spies on the Family, Encounter with the Spirit Beast Elder Who Dispatches Cultivated Spiritual Beast ’Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose’ for Repelling, and Learns Beast Taming Technique from the Spirit Beast Elder...”

Click to upload.

Not long after, those who followed Patriarch Chen and clicked on update notifications saw the video.

For instance, Chu Hao, who was already at the airport, upon learning about the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea’s effects, booked a ticket to the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex. To his dismay, his little sister Chu Ling was accompanying him.

How did she end up seeing it? A girl interested in ancient buildings, insisting on tagging along.

While waiting for the plane, he noticed that Patriarch Chen’s account had been updated.

He instinctively clicked in to see what antics this Patriarch Chen had come up with this time. Just looking at the title shocked him.

Spirit Beast Elder, Spirit Beast ’Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose’?

According to Patriarch Chen’s eccentric style, those stray dogs were Dog Demons; then, the Spirit Beast ’Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose’ should be just Lion-headed Geese, right?

And what’s with the Beast Taming Technique?

Can you even control geese?

With a mindset full of complaints, he clicked into Patriarch Chen’s video.
