Chapter 544 - 244: The Future Will Call Him Ancestor Chen! A Big Undertaking?

"They might even compile a new, useful Feng Shui book!"

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Han proposed his objective. Moreover, with the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone, he believed there would surely be unexpected gains. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for these people to report back and bring over the Feng Shui collections.

Daoist Chen and his companions were shocked as they looked at the Patriarch of the Chen Family in front of them. The suggestion was too astonishing.

Current Feng Shui is on the verge of being lost. In fact, if what the other party said is confirmed, much of the content in the current Taoist Feng Shui books is useless and incorrect.

If analyzed and reorganized anew, they could come up with a useful Feng Shui book and even restore the Feng Shui array formations using geographical features across various Taoist temples.

That would herald a new era for the Taoist Sect.

In decades or a century from now, what will future generations call this Patriarch of the Chen Family?

Daoist Chen?

Even to be a part of this endeavor, even if just to have a name on the new Feng Shui book, would etch one’s name into the history of the Taoist Sect.

Daoist Chen and his companions, although shocked, did not forget to send what the Patriarch of the Chen Family had just said to the Daoist Temple group chat—such a decision was beyond their capacity to decide.

At Wudang, at the Golden Summit.

The Sect Leader once again brought a few junior brothers here; in fact, they practically soaked in this place, hoping to research the restoration of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak.

Beside them, there was a Daoist known for his excellent drawing skills. Since they couldn’t make heads or tails of the Feng Shui books, they decided to first draw all the geographical environments here, comparing them with ancient distribution maps to see if they could gain any insights.

Standing on high ground, the Sect Leader frowned at the surrounding peaks. "Junior brother should already be at the Chen Family by now, beginning another discussion. I wonder if he can obtain some useful information about Feng Shui there."

A Daoist suddenly said, "There’s a new video sent by Junior Brother Chen in the group chat. The Patriarch of the Chen Family spoke about Feng Shui-related matters."

Without hesitation, the Sect Leader quickly took out his phone and clicked on the video in the group chat, hearing the voice of the Patriarch of the Chen Family:

"When our Chen Family first discovered the Feng Shui array formation... later on, I watched a scientific program... They might even compile a new, useful Feng Shui book!"

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the Sect Leader and several Daoists were filled with shock.

Indeed, even though they had attempted to relearn those Feng Shui books before without any success, they had never doubted that the books passed down by the sages were actually useless.

They only dared to assume that they had not studied them properly or understood the basics.

Now, this conclusion by the Patriarch of the Chen Family was backed with reason and evidence. More importantly, if what he said was true, then their research in Feng Shui was futile.

Perhaps only the method proposed by the Patriarch of the Chen Family could work.

Not only Wudang received the news, but other Taoist places also got it at the first moment—like Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the Celestial Master, and several mages were quite shaken after watching it.

The long-standing traditions of the Taoist Sect sometimes resulted in very conservative thinking, making them hesitant to question like the Patriarch of the Chen Family.

Perhaps because of this, they failed to notice, whereas the Patriarch of the Chen Family made such a judgment.

In this scenario, the choices were simple: to refuse the Patriarch of the Chen Family’s proposal due to some reservations, worried that their own collections held something genuine that others might learn.

Of course, this might also lead to awkwardness if it turns out others’ collections hold something genuine while theirs do not.

If another sect were involved, it might really result in some unpleasantness.

But now it’s within the Taoist Sect.

The Celestial Master and several mages saw through this situation. Even if there was something genuine in Feng Shui, they couldn’t comprehend it. Keeping it in storage was of no use at all.

If they brought it out and researched it together as Taoist people, they might produce something valuable, beneficial for everyone.

The key is, when Feng Shui can actually be utilized, and the geographic and topographical aspects of various Taoist locations can be leveraged and restored, how beneficial would that be for the Taoist Sect’s reputation?

How should the other side respond?

Continue to stealthily learn? They must learn from it successfully first.

Thinking about it, the Celestial Master also said, "Reply to the Patriarch of the Chen Family, say that we at Dragon and Tiger Mountain are willing to send our Feng Shui collections to the Chen Family to collaborate on research."

With a sigh, he said, "I really wish I could personally participate, but unfortunately, there’s too much work at Dragon and Tiger Mountain."

This revelation excited several mages. The Celestial Master’s position didn’t allow leaving, but they were different. This was a chance to participate independently in creating a miraculous Taoist book.

They instantly notified the Chen Family’s side.

At the Chen Family, upon receiving instructions from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, a Daoist immediately wanted to express his thoughts. Unexpectedly, the Wudang Daoist Chen immediately stood up and said, "Patriarch Chen, we at Wudang have already decided to send all our Feng Shui collections to the Chen Family to join this grand event!"

"Patriarch Chen, my elder brother said the same," Daoist Xuan Shi quickly added.

Moments later, the Daoists who had come from various places all expressed their positions, with excitement and a bit of anticipation for the upcoming great undertaking on their faces.

Seeing this, Chen Han also smiled, accomplishing half of the goal.

He did not hesitate, instructing Xiaoyu, "Junior sister, doesn’t the Chen Family have single detached courtyards available? Arrange them for the Daoists to stay, and do not open these courtyards to the public for the time being."

"Got it, senior brother," Xiaoyu replied, her face filled with excitement. Clearly, she knew the potential impact of the upcoming activities with her senior brother and these Daoists could be groundbreaking for the entire Taoist Sect.

While Xiaoyu was busy making arrangements, she didn’t forget to contact and inform Chen Kai on the county’s side. With the Daoists staying at the Chen Family, there was no need for further arrangements by the county.

When Chen Kai received the call from Xiaoyu, he was reporting the status of the Ancient City District to Chu Ping. Due to the online buzz and the Daoists staying in the Ancient City, videos related to Linhe County Ancient City District were being uploaded and gaining popularity online daily.

The Ancient City District of Linhe County certainly experienced a surge in traffic. With the ancient architecture and impressive construction, it attracted many tourists.

Many visitors to the Chen Family took the opportunity to buy tickets to the Ancient City District as well, and many of Linhe County’s residents began moving their daily activities to the Ancient City District, making it extraordinarily lively.

It can be deemed very successful.

There was also one thing Chu Ping hadn’t mentioned: a tourism support fund in Qingmin City, which was about to be released. The number was significant, and he naturally knew what it was for—the bulk of it was to support the Chen Family’s end.

After all, invaluable connections had intervened in this from Boss Zheng.

Everyone was aware, though, officially everything went through the normal procedures, everything had a basis, and was reasonable and legal.

Even if someone came to investigate, there wouldn’t be any violations.

Can you say that the tourism development over there in Linhe County didn’t yield results? Would you argue that the best tourism aspect of Linhe County isn’t the Chen Family?

Why support with so much more money?

Because there is great faith in its potential, and collective optimism, any issues?

Just at the Chen Family’s end, the back mountain donated by Director Liu hasn’t been developed yet; after this fund is received, it can be used to support the Chen Family and develop the back mountain project.

Seeing Chen Kai with a strange look after answering a call, he asked puzzledly, "What’s up? Why the face after a call like that?"

Chen Kai explained, perplexed, "The Chen Family called to say that the Daoists plan to reside at the Chen Family for further discussions. It seems these Daoists will stay at the Chen Family for quite some time."

Chu Ping was taken aback by this news. Initially, those Daoists were to return to their respective Daoist Temples in the next couple of days. Why have things changed suddenly, with all of them wanting to reside at the Chen Family instead?

For some reason, he had an uncanny feeling that the Patriarch of the Chen Family and these Daoists might be planning something grand.
