I Materialized the Cultivation Game

When Chen Kai learned from his cousin that the spring water he brought was found to contain no bacteria and no harmful minerals, even purer than distilled water, he suddenly realized something.

That was the Chen Family’s Spiritual Spring. Besides drinking it and feeling a special sensation, what’s so strange about its mystical power keeping the spring water clean?

He was still worrying about such trivial matters here?

Isn’t this doing something thankless and quite foolish?

Lin Qing complained, ”Cousin, although you tricked me, being able to purify a bottle of water to this extent is quite impressive. Developing a purification water industry in your county could be a great prospect.”

Chen Kai quickly replied, ”Lin Qing, do you think I’d come all this way to play a prank on you? My staff picked the wrong water. I’ll go back and reprimand them now.”

Now, he had no interest in staying any longer. After thanking Lin Qing, he hurriedly returned to the train station. Since testing the spring water was unnecessary, he might as well focus on the Daoist Qingfeng’s temple matters.

...

The Chen Family already had people from the Workshop Hall carrying timbers up the mountain, and others clearing the mountain paths.

The Spiritual Spring was ready, so it was naturally going to be utilized.

Although this Spiritual Spring wasn’t suitable for factory production of spring water, it could supply tourists, even if a large number came to visit the Chen Family.

Chen Lin took a blueprint to Chen Han’s courtyard: ”Xiaohan, have a look at this design. If there are no issues, I’ll take people to start work on the mountain.”

The blueprint naturally included facilities to protect the Spiritual Spring from things like bird droppings, as well as resting pavilions for tourists and resting places for the Chen Family members stationed there.

Additionally, the Spiritual Spring would be protected, preventing tourists from drinking directly from it, and instead, divert it to a larger reservoir for tourist consumption.

This reservoir naturally needed to be well-protected, and the Chen Family members would monitor it constantly.

Of course, tourists needed to see the Spiritual Spring as well, since its reputation had already spread online; many tourists would surely come for the spring.

The blueprint provided by Little Uncle covered all aspects, though those from the Workshop Hall might not be professional designers, they’ve worked as carpenters and cement workers all their lives, and sometimes their experience rivaled that of designers.

Chen Han signed it off directly, instructing Little Uncle to proceed with construction based on the blueprint.

After Little Uncle left, Chen Han turned his attention to the ancestral statue setting task in his mind.

The Ancestral Master’s Daoist Robe rewarded by this task, as a symbol of family inheritance and the Patriarch’s emblem, surely had its wonders.

Therefore, it needed to be completed.

Setting up a statue in the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable side hall was a simple task, especially with many sculpture factories outside, where the refined techniques could carve the statue lifelike.

Anyway, a statue carved by any outside hand was just an empty shell; it would only become a true statue after the enlightenment ceremony.

But the ancestral statue was different; it couldn’t be crafted by others unless someone with fine skills was invited for the carving, and the materials were chosen by the family.

Ultimately, it didn’t need the enlightenment ceremony; it relied on the family’s incense worship and praises to invoke the ancestor’s spirit.

So, Chen Han thought of Fifth Uncle.

He’s skilled in carving, often referred to as a master craftsman online.

Having Fifth Uncle carve Daoist Qingfeng’s ancestral statue would be ideal.

Whether this ancestor was genuine or not, since the game system provided the task, it had to be done.

Thus, Chen Han went to visit Fifth Uncle.

Fifth Uncle’s place was bustling now, mainly due to increased production of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, with many family members involved in carving bamboo canisters here, enjoying generous pay.

Everyone was working enthusiastically, learning carving techniques from Fifth Uncle.

Even though there weren’t enough family members, and no one could be arranged for carving here, Chen Xiaoyan had already purchased two laser carving machines.

Ordinary Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea packaging no longer required all designs to be hand-carved, only important words.

Indeed, laser carving compared to hand-carving is far inferior.

Laser carving is too rigid; it can’t exhibit the rounded, pointed, colorful, vibrant aspects of hand-carving.

Seeing Chen Han approach, Fifth Uncle instinctively led the family members to set aside their tasks and greet him:

”Patriarch, you’re here!”

”Patriarch, Xiaoyan said, besides helping everyone with social security, the family would also buy personal insurance and cover children’s tuition...”

”...”

These people were respectful, enthusiastic, and expectant.

Chen Han nodded at them.

The Chen Family was now profiting immensely from Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, with substantial ticket and lodging revenue.

Once the canola seeds project unfolded, Chen Family’s profits would soar, making personal insurance and children’s tuition insignificant matters.

As the canola flower project was implemented, family benefits would rise further, since family members were performing excellently and supportive of the family, deserving rewards.

Some might worry about giving too much, fearing a change in attitude; similar to a certain supermarket, improving staff benefits may not lead to trouble.

Attitudes do change, growing more anxious not to lose current benefits, knowing even a slight mistake would attract scrutiny from others, even on their position.
