I Materialized the Cultivation Game

”No matter what, let’s just have some fun. I’ll take a draw!”

”Me too. Patriarch Chen has been doing this for quite some time; we can’t let his efforts go to waste.”

”...”

The tourists were very enthusiastic. Although they would only receive 30 cups of ordinary honey if they won, they were willing to humor Patriarch Chen and actively participate in the drawing.

This could be considered a success in its own way.

Soon, several tourists went up to draw, but they all got black pieces, meaning they didn’t win.

This made a few of them feel a bit disappointed instead.

Zhang Jie and Lulu quickly went up and drew a piece together. Seeing that the people before them hadn’t won, the two thought their chances were low as well.

However, when they both revealed their pieces, they were taken aback, seeing that they both had drawn white pieces.

This meant they each won a cup of honey water.

This made those who had just finished drawing feel quite unbalanced. Why them?

”Congratulations to both of you, you’ve won two cups of honey water.” The staff in charge of the draw smiled as they handed the two cups of honey water to them.

Zhang Jie took the two cups of honey water, handed one to his girlfriend, and then took a big sip from the other, exclaiming: ”This honey water tastes great! It’s very sweet and not at all cloying!”

Upon hearing this, Lulu immediately took a sip and was also amazed: ”Really, this honey water is delicious.”

They both took another sip, and after a moment, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

Zhang Jie directly asked his girlfriend: ”Lulu, do you feel it too? There’s a special sensation.”

Earlier that afternoon, he and his girlfriend had strolled through the Flower Sea, explored the ancient architectural complex, and even picked fruits at an orchard in the village, so they were somewhat fatigued.

Now, after drinking this honey water, that fatigue started to dissipate, and they felt it quite clearly.

He recalled what Patriarch Chen said in that video about Royal Jelly having fatigue-relieving properties.

No way?

Could this Royal Jelly be real after all?

Lulu couldn’t help but cry out: ”This is unbelievable, the honey water really does relieve fatigue, and the effect is so obvious. Is this really just honey water?”

The surrounding tourists looked at the two somewhat skeptically; it wasn’t much when they said the honey water tasted good, but now isn’t this a bit exaggerated?

They looked like a couple of shills.

Zhang Jie seemed to understand the looks the tourists were giving them and quickly said: ”We’re not shills. If you don’t believe us, try this honey water for yourself.”

Saying this, he actually offered up the honey water, and sure enough, someone tried it; two people came forward and each took a big sip, not fearing the exchange of saliva.

The effect was apparent, and shortly thereafter, those two were astonished as well:

”It really does relieve fatigue, what was said in Patriarch Chen’s video is true.”

”The honey Patriarch Chen brought is wild; maybe there really is such a thing as Royal Jelly.”

At this point, everyone was half-believing, half-doubting, suspicious that these two might also be shills. But when more people started winning and tasting the Royal Jelly, the skepticism turned into a rush, with all the tourists eager to try their luck at the draw, hoping for a taste.

After all, while one or two people might be shills, surely not everyone who tried it and claimed it worked could be, right?

Unfortunately, most couldn’t win, and for a time, those who did were envied.

At night, the entire Chen Family estate became increasingly lively. As dozens of cups of Royal Jelly honey water were won by tourists, the Royal Jelly caused quite a sensation.

Gu Ning, a rich second-generation youth, had just checked in that night. Seeing the exaggerated reaction of a winning tourist left him speechless.

It’s just a cup of honey water; no matter how expensive, he’s had better. Was this necessary?

Seeing another person win, he decided he’d like to try it and directly asked: ”How about I buy that honey water from you for 2000 yuan?”

The tourist clearly wanted to drink it too but hesitated and said: ”Half a cup!”

”Deal!” Gu Ning, exasperated, took the half cup and drank it down, and within moments, he blinked and quickly asked the server: ”Is there any more Royal Jelly honey sold by the Chen Family? I’d like to buy some, paying extra is no problem.”

While the Chen Family was conducting a Royal Jelly draw, Chu Hao and his father arrived outside an estate, carrying a jar of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.

They greeted the people at the entrance and waited a while before being led inside by a middle-aged man.

They had come in the evening to meet a wealthy tycoon. This person had rheumatic paralysis so severe that his bones were deformed, and if they could inform him about the Chen Family’s effects and cure his ailments, the tycoon would undoubtedly owe them a huge favor.

As they walked into the main hall, they heard the sound of chanting and saw an elderly man sitting peacefully with a monk chanting in front of him.

This was none other than the abbot of the city’s largest temple, present thanks to a donation of 50 million from the tycoon, now chanting scriptures for him.

Having sought treatment at various hospitals to no avail, the tycoon had turned to divine faith, clearly believing in Buddhism.

The hall was adorned with Buddha statues and inscriptions of Buddhist teachings.

The two did not disturb him until the monk finished chanting and the tycoon opened his eyes.

The middle-aged man then approached: ”Boss, these are Chu Lin and his son from the Chu Family.”

”Chairman Liu, hello!” Chu Lin greeted immediately.

Chu Hao did the same.

Looking at them, Chairman Liu said: ”Since my assistant brought you in, you must have something that could surprise me.”

Chu Lin didn’t hesitate and explained, ”Chairman Liu, I understand you’re suffering greatly from rheumatic paralysis. I’ve got news that might help you; the Chen Family that’s causing a stir online is a Taoist Sect heritage family with some remarkable legacies that might aid your ailment.”

”We found information about a big boss whose father had an incurable eye disease that was healed at the Chen Family.”

This statement made Chairman Liu pause. Indeed, the ailment was torturing him relentlessly, and according to Master Xinyan, it was the accumulated evil qi in his body causing poor blood circulation that needed to be resolved through scripture chanting and blessings.

He thought back to his younger, striving days when he did commit some dubious acts; but anyone who made it out of that era was hardly clean.

Thus, he donated 50 million to have Master Xinyan chant and dissipate the evil qi, needing 49 days of chanting. However, after half a month, he hadn’t felt any improvement.

He was discouraged but dared not give up. What if after 49 days, the evil qi was dispelled and his ailment was cured?

”Is the information true?” Chairman Liu asked, frowning. ”If it’s the same Mystic Sect method of chanting and praying, there’s no need to rely on others. I can’t afford to waste the 49-day chanting to dissipate evil qi halfway.”

Chu Hao chuckled; for even the wisest and mightiest, faced with an incurable ailment, would turn to divine faith. Had Chairman Liu been 20 years younger, he wouldn’t have entertained such notions.

Let alone donating 50 million for someone to chant and bless for him.

It’s all a sign of age and a dampened spirit compared to before.

Therefore, he said to Chairman Liu: ”Chairman Liu, I have brought something from the Chen Family that might help dissipate your doubts simply by tasting it.”

Saying this, he presented the Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea he brought along.

Bringing this item had to serve its purpose.

Chairman Liu was intrigued, and the middle-aged man took the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, opened the package, and took out the bamboo tube within.

Even Master Xinyan beside them was drawn to it.

When they saw the bamboo tube contained nothing but Bamboo Leaf Tea, both of their expressions turned a bit peculiar.

Especially Chairman Liu, whose eyebrows furrowed slightly, thinking he had tasted all kinds of teas, with even the rarest being available in his tea room.

Thus, this bamboo tube of Bamboo Leaf Tea couldn’t stir a hint of interest in him at all.
