I Materialized the Cultivation Game-Chapter 59 - 53: Why Is There No Reaction?

As the alarm clock rang, Chen Han woke up once more, looking out the window. The light from the game system’s modification was still there, yet to be completed.

He glanced at the data of the Sect’s Base in his mind. His reputation had already reached (4292/????).

Overnight, it had increased by 2200.

The Patriarch Chen’s account followers had also risen to 7248.

As expected, as long as the video gained traffic, the reputation grew swiftly. Previously, it took so much time to increase by 2000 reputation.

After a brief wash, he went downstairs to the yard, where he could more clearly sense the alluring floral fragrance of the orchids, elegant and subtle.

The attribute effect of the Spirit Plant Dew Water’s enticing floral fragrance +2 was becoming stronger.

He thought about the flower planting supply and instinctively checked his wealth information:

(437,600/????).

After spending 400,000 on upgrading the Sect’s Base, now the total wealth was just over 400,000. He didn’t know how much it would cost for the next upgrade.

However, the system certainly loved doing charity, as the upgrade money was entirely transferred to various charity accounts, anonymously.

Planting altar flowers all over the Chen Family required a hefty sum.

The crucial family wages and taxes also needed a reservation of funds. Fortunately, Chen Family had previously applied for the Taoist Sect’s special scenic area license, waiving many taxes. Only non-cultural business projects had to pay 25% tax.

With this money reserved, there was even less money left.

Indeed, without wealth, cultivation itself is impossible.

Leaving the yard, he once again went through today’s Special Spiritual Acupoints cultivation, adding five months and thirteen hours to his lifespan, before heading to Little Uncle’s kitchen to prepare today’s medicinal meals.

Visitor Service Center.

Chu Hao and Chu Ling, brother and sister, had gotten up early, quickly heading downstairs for breakfast.

Today promised to be exciting.

"Brother, when do you think that Ming Di will show up?" Chu Ling asked curiously, and at that moment, a person in traditional attire with a flute walked in. Wasn’t that Ming Di?

The assistant beside him was holding a phone, seemingly live streaming.

Ming Di was indeed live-streaming. Last night, Patriarch Chen’s video had already exceeded 150,000 likes, and the number of people who had watched it must be tenfold. The video riding this wave had already surpassed 50,000 views early in the morning.

So, starting the livestream early, the statistics were better than usual.

Sitting down to eat a bit, he said to the livestream audience: "There’s just a bit of time left; let’s practice controlling those Lion-headed Goose notes."

He knew what the livestream audience wanted to see, and with that, he took out the flute and began to play, a melodious tune ringing out.

Chu Hao and Chu Ling were instantly captivated.

Especially Chu Ling: "Brother, this is the first note of Beast Taming Technique Guardian by Patriarch Chen."

She had been listening to those four pieces of flute music from Patriarch Chen last night, imagining controlling the Lion-headed Goose herself, so she was already familiar with the music.

Those who could join Ming Di’s livestream early in the morning naturally were concerned with this matter, and could easily recognize that:

"Ming Di’s playing is exactly like Patriarch Chen’s."

"Just seeing Patriarch Chen control those Lion-headed Goose, I almost felt my brain shrink, but now that I know it can be cracked, it’s nothing."

"Indeed, with Patriarch Chen’s abstract style, seeing him control those geese, I thought he might actually know Immortal Beast Taming Technique. It turns out to be scientific reasoning!"

"..."

With the audience’s support, Ming Di smiled. Once he could control those Lion-headed Goose of Patriarch Chen, he planned to make a special video. Surely that would gain significant traffic, too.

...

In the kitchen.

Chen Han was just preparing Dog Demon Meat, beginning to stew it when his junior sister and Xiaomi came in.

"Senior Brother, Ming Di is livestreaming," Xiaoyu said angrily. "Seeing him all confident like that, I really want to punch him."

Chen Han smiled and soothed her: "Junior Sister, don’t be angry. How about I let the Lion-headed Goose give him a good lesson and strip him naked?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up: "Can they really do that?"

"We can try," Chen Han chuckled, "When controlling the Lion-headed Goose to use Charge Skill, I need to communicate with the Beast Taming Flute with my mind to choose their charge targets, so I can indeed try to control the Lion-headed Goose to strip the Demon Sect Demon’s clothes."

It had to be tried.

Thinking that, he led his junior sister and Xiaomi to the Spirit Beast Hall.

Once again seeing the sign of the Spirit Beast Hall, he took out his phone to film the sign, saying: "The Demon Sect Demons have infiltrated the family, attempting to seize control of the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose. Yet, the Demons know nothing of the Beast Taming Technique taught by the Spirit Beast Elder. Today they are bound to pay a heavy price."

Xiaoyu and Xiaomi used to feel embarrassed hearing him say such abstract things, but today, it seemed highly reasonable. Such Demon Sect Demons indeed deserved to pay a heavy price.

Shortly, the sound of a flute rang out, and Chen Han controlled the family’s Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose out of the Spirit Beast Hall and out of the Chen Family.

Just passing the Chen Family gate, he was momentarily stunned to see quite a crowd gathered outside early in the morning.

Such a scene wasn’t usual.

Thinking for a moment, he understood they were there to watch the fun, eager to see if Ming Di could control those Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose.

Similarly, he saw Ming Di in traditional attire, wearing slightly black smudged makeup, seemingly afraid others might not see him as a Demon Sect Demon.

Not far off, two family servants were serving leftover food to local stray dogs.

They were eating happily.

Ming Di naturally also saw Chen Han and the Lion-headed Goose following him, immediately imagining those Lion-headed Goose gathering around as he played his flute.

He even aimed the live stream camera at those Lion-headed Goose: "Everyone sees, now this Patriarch Chen is playing the first note and when arranging the Eight Trigrams Diagram, the note will change. The third segment is the most urgent."

The live stream viewers cheered at his words, all expressing anticipation for his performance.

Ming Di analyzed the four notes in the live stream, and everyone could understand, illustrating his expertise in flute music. Patriarch Chen relied on his flute to control those geese, completely undefended in front of Ming Di.

If this truly were cultivation and truly were Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose, Patriarch Chen would probably have been directly possessed, the family’s hard-earned accumulation easily benefitting others.

Before long, Chen Han saw that the stray dogs had already finished eating the leftover food, so he activated the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose attack, with familiar face-to-face assault, familiar formula, familiar result. The strays yelped and fled, stopping not far off, warily watching the battle scene.

Clearly, they didn’t want to leave this place now.

Chen Han didn’t control the Lion-headed Goose to continue the pursuit, because the battleground had already revealed a blood-soaked piece of Dog Demon Meat.

Though no Dog Demon Bone was seen, apparently the drop rate was low.

Without Chen Han’s control, the Lion-headed Goose returned to normal, quacking and strolling around.

Ming Di knew it was his cue to act, addressing the live stream audience: "I didn’t act immediately because Patriarch Chen was filming. As a guest, one shouldn’t be too impolite. Now, watch my performance."

He then took the flute and moved forward, this scene attracting the onlookers who had arrived early for the revelry, including the siblings Chu Hao and Chu Ling.

Confidently, Ming Di raised his flute and began to play the first Guardian note, knowing this segment attracted the Lion-headed Goose to surround the player, spreading their wings protectively.

Patriarch Chen’s ’Guardian’ description was very apt.

So, Lion-headed Goose, come and guard me!

But as he played the first ’Guardian’ note, he suddenly realized the terrifying silence in the air, with only the quacking of the geese seemingly mocking him.
