I Materialized the Cultivation Game

But the opponent’s skills, disappearing in an instant, were clearly more formidable than theirs.

Chen Lin could only instruct Chen Dagou and the others: ”Dagou, Xiaohan doesn’t know either. If this person is indeed who we think, they’re probably not keen on us finding out. We just have to be more vigilant and see if they’re still around the Chen Family.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Dagou nodded immediately. At present, this was the only viable approach. He quickly gathered personnel from the Demon Suppression Hall to search within the Chen Family grounds, not forgetting to instruct them to report immediately and treat the individual with respect if discovered.

The Chen Family members all dispersed, and for the time being, they seemed to be paying attention to various locales, searching for something.

Moreover, the display gallery had become a gathering place for Chen Family tourists; many people arrived here to check-in and photograph that picture.

Everyone was curious whether that old Daoist was the person in the photo.

Unfortunately, by evening, even after a whole night had passed, no one had seen the figure that could possibly be the ancestor.

Instead, overnight, the ”Hidden Expert of the Chen Clan” became a viral topic, with the video garnering over 600,000 likes, sparking extensive discussion:

”Is it true? Could the Chen Family have an ancestor capable of cultivation?”

”Wow, seeing that photo really gave me chills.”

”If this photo wasn’t recently taken by the Chen Family with an aged effect, it’s really terrifying.”

”...”

Furthermore, the Chen Family not only made this topic popular but also another one: ”The Ancient Calming Heart Technique of the Chen Family—its unbelievable effects!”

This was a video posted by a girl: ”I’m designer Xiao Ding, out on vacation, and suddenly received a request from my boss to alter the design plans. Annoyingly, it was my initially proposed plan that got rejected; this is always exhausting for us working people...”

”While just enjoying myself, who can calm down? How can one find inspiration and new ideas under such circumstances? Yet, at the Chen Family Martial Arts Arena, after listening to the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ recited by a Chen Family member, my heart found calm, my mind entered a Void Nether state, and I was completely focused.”

”This state was incredibly wondrous, and it allowed my creativity to surge. Shortly after listening to the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique,’ I revised the design plans and sent them to the boss.”

The girl’s account attracted numerous viewers; although the likes and comments didn’t match the topic of Hidden Expert of the Chen Clan, it still received over 300,000 likes overnight.

Yet many couldn’t quite believe the effect of the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique.’

”Is it real? If so, we designers will be blessed.”

”Hey beauty, I hope you’re serious; my novel writing has been repeatedly stalled lately.”

”I’m an artist; should it also work for me? Anyone who confirms this, hit me up.”

”Actually, it’s not entirely impossible; I just saw a video of the Chen Family having a possible hidden expert aged over 150.”

”To the commenter above, I saw that too. The old Daoist looks identical to the one in the photo. If this is real, it wouldn’t be surprising to think the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ has such effects; conversely, if the technique has these effects, the Hidden Expert of the Chen Family might truly exist.”

”...”

Many comments began linking the two topics together for discussion.

Chen Han emerged from cultivation and, after reviewing these two videos, was certain that an audience from related creative industries would be coming to listen to the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique.’

Soon, the Chen Family would become a sacred place for those involved in creative fields.

Chen Han then checked his own data:

Reputation: 1 million (437.86 million/1 million).

Followers: 5.45 million.

Wish Power: 10,000 (3335/10,000).

With the Chen Family National Style Event and yesterday’s buzz, his followers were nearing 5.5 million, making him quite a major internet influencer.

The reputation had also reached over 4.37 million—more than sufficient to level up, even quite pleasantly surplus, hardly needing to worry about running out.

Wish Power had grown to 3335.

In these past four and a half days, aside from the Wish Power provided by the daily rituals of Chen Clan Members, the proportion of Wish Power provided by tourists remained quite low.

This growth would require time for gradual influence.

While pondering, Chen Han exited the video topic; unexpectedly, Tiao Yin pushed a hot topic towards him, with the video nearing 2 million likes.

Curious, he watched the video; it featured a police officer uncle advising people to keep an eye on children and not let them touch common park and greenspace oleanders, as these plants are highly toxic—contact with the sap or a child ingesting it could be lethal.

Then came the contradiction, since it’s so toxic that it can be lethal, why is it planted everywhere?

”I don’t understand why such a poisonous plant is planted in areas with heavy human traffic?”

”If it’s highly toxic, why still plant it in green spaces?”

”Why approve its use as a greenery plant if it’s toxic?”

”...”

Watching the video comments, he also was puzzled by this. If it’s toxic enough to kill, why is it planted everywhere, and then come to educate about its dangers?

Nonetheless, Chen Han didn’t understand the behind-the-scenes, nor did he care about this; he directly went downstairs towards special spiritual acupoints for cultivation, and then proceeded to Little Uncle’s kitchen to prepare herbal cuisine.

Just as the herbal cuisine’s aroma filled the air, he received a call from his junior sister, who arrived shortly with several National Style girls at his presence.

After the Chen Family National Style Event concluded, these girls had no new activities planned, deciding to stay around the Chen Family for a few more days, feeling really comfortable being there.

A few girls were drawn by the scent of herbal cuisine, with Lobster promptly saying: ”Patriarch Chen, let’s reserve a pot of herbal cuisine for tomorrow.”
