I Materialized the Cultivation Game

He knew this person was truly a master. There are so many art influencers online, and their paintings might look good, but many lack vitality and spirit.

The painting by Master Wu, however, instantly conveyed that vitality and spirit.

On the scene, Wu Ying also noticed that her father’s painting surpassed his previous works; she could immediately tell its quality. She instinctively looked at her father and saw him calmly putting down his paintbrush.

This surprised her. Having created such a masterpiece, her father should be quite pleased, yet he seemed so composed?

However, she quickly noticed that after her father set down his paintbrush, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. This made her realize that her father wasn’t as calm as he appeared.

"Hahaha." Wu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh, "It’s done, it’s done, hahaha, the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ is truly amazing!"

This hearty laughter echoed into the livestream, which Huang Tao and other viewers witnessed, leaving all viewers in disbelief.

Previously, many didn’t take the online rumors seriously, but now with the master having created such a painting while using the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique,’ coupled with his laughter, it was more convincing than those old rumors and caused an even bigger sensation.

Indeed, after the recitation of the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ and Wu Sheng’s painting session, the topic of the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ quickly surged online, as if swept by a storm, reaching great heights of popularity.

In the kitchen, as Chen Han brought today’s medicinal meal to the table, his junior sister rushed in, "Senior brother, our Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ has gone viral online."

"Wasn’t it popular before?" Chen Han, unaware of the situation, asked puzzledly.

Xiaoyu hurriedly explained, "Senior brother, it’s even more viral now. A national painting master painted an incredible image of a longevity pine while listening to the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique.’ It was streamed live, and now everyone’s talking about it online."

Saying this, she handed him a phone showing a related video.

Chen Han took a look at the video. It showed an old man painting, accompanied by the old man’s exclamation, "It’s done, it’s done, the Ancient Calming Heart Technique is amazing."

What stood out was the incredible popularity of this topic, already appearing in trending topics. Looking at the painting time, it reached such heights of popularity in a very short time.

After he understood the old man’s status and prestige, he wasn’t surprised anymore. There aren’t many national painting masters, especially ones whose paintings start at 1 million at the very least.

But with such speed, there’s a real possibility it could directly hit the top trending list.

And as Chen Han thought, by afternoon, the buzz around the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ grew even more, surprisingly because of another master.

Cui Ruzhuo, once the world’s top master in painting art, posted a Weibo saying, "Why is it so difficult to book a room at the Chen Family?"

This Weibo clearly indicated that he too wanted to visit the Chen Family, clearly to listen to the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique.’

Xiaoyu especially sought out Chen Han for this matter: "Senior brother, this master is even more famous than Master Wu. Should we respond to him? After all, we still have a standalone courtyard reserved internally."

"No need, we are the Chen Family." Chen Han shook his head firmly.

The junior sister clearly underestimated the current status of the Chen Family. No matter how famous Cui Ruzhuo was, what of it?

In reality, his network ties can’t compare to those of the wealthy magnate Liu Ye or the Zheng Family in Ming City.

So, if the other party can’t book a room, so be it. Should the Chen Family go out of their way just because of a Weibo post?

No need.

Now it’s the other party who needs to come.

Since Master Wu produced such a painting, the other party must come, whether or not they believe in the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’; they have to try it out.

On the other side, Cui Ruzhuo was also quite helpless. He initially thought with his fame, a Weibo post would surely prompt the Chen Family to contact him for arrangements.

His visits elsewhere had always been like this, with locals eagerly reaching out to make arrangements for him; this was the standard treatment for a master like him.

But this time, it seemed the Chen Family wasn’t playing along. After posting, no one contacted him.

Initially, he felt a bit annoyed, but suddenly realized that if the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ was real, then such a place would naturally be exceptional.

It’s he who needs to hear the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique,’ not the Chen Family relying on his celebrity to invite him.

Thinking this, he had no choice but to have an assistant see if there were any connections for arrangements.

Unexpectedly, other than himself, several other artists also posted on Weibo, mentioning the difficulty of booking a room at the Chen Family, the implication was clear.

Evidently, the Chen Family didn’t respond to anyone, but this further skyrocketed the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ to the top of trending topics.

Everyone’s curiosity about the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ peaked, as they discussed the topic.

Wu Ying surmised the popularity and realized if they conducted a news special on ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique,’ it would undoubtedly succeed and attract many viewers.

...

In the courtyard, Chen Han was studying the Spirit Jade Ball, considering it might be his lifesaver in future situations, so he needed to understand its function fully.

Unfortunately, he didn’t yet have the method to consecrate a magical treasure. If he could consecrate the Spirit Jade Ball, he could store it in the Dantian and activate it instantly, much faster than fetching it from a game inventory.

Yet, even with the method for consecration, his spiritual meridians weren’t opened, and his cultivation realm wasn’t sufficient, making it difficult to store and nurture a magical treasure within the Dantian.

Putting away the Spirit Jade Ball, he picked up his phone to check it. Many people had mentioned him, and upon opening, he found they were all about the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ video.

He realized this topic had even drawn attention away from many places related to the Taoist Sect.

Because there are ’Mental Tranquility Techniques’ in every corner of the Taoist Sect.

For instance, renowned Taoist places like Wudang and White Cloud Temple had Daoists posting videos.

"The Taoist Sect indeed possesses Mental Tranquility Techniques, which can calm the mind and focus one’s attention!"

"At Wudang, we have Scripture Reciters chant the Calm Heart Technique every day, and visiting Shan Xin can come to listen. As to the difference in chanting between the Chen Family’s Calm Heart Technique and the current one, it should stem from different lineages."

Clearly, these places within the Taoist Sect also hoped to ride the wave of popularity. As for the effect of the Calm Heart Technique, it was ambiguous.

Chen Han understood the intent of these places, but one thing was certain: the efficacy of the Chen Family’s Ancient Calm Heart Technique would soon be universally known.

Especially with the contribution of the national painting master Wu Sheng, after painting that image, more artistic masters would visit, ensuring the Chen Family’s Ancient Calm Heart Technique resonated deeply.

Inevitably, there’d be onlookers probing further. Hence, choosing not to immediately use up that book of the ’Ancient Calm Heart Technique’ proved beneficial, showcasing the Chen Family’s deep-rooted tradition.

They would not disclose the underground array, but rather, under the guise of cultivation, would eventually release the content and melody of the Ancient Calm Heart Technique. Even if others learned the melody, it wouldn’t matter.

After all, they were insufficiently cultivated.

As he was contemplating this, his phone rang—it was Reporter Wu. He picked it up and asked: "Reporter Wu, is there an issue with the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea handover?"

Wu Ying’s voice came through, "Patriarch Chen, the online buzz about the Chen Family’s Ancient Calm Heart Technique is really high. I’d like to ask if we can do an exclusive on ’Ancient Calm Heart Technique’ for the Chen Family?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Han’s eyes lit up: "Reporter Wu, that’s not a problem."

This was an opportunity knocking at the door.
