Chapter 601 - 261: Overflowing Loyalty! Portal Renovation!

Upon seeing the attribute of "Sincere Heart Brings Blessing," Chen Han abandoned the idea of going to the Special Spiritual Acupoint for cultivation, instead deciding to check the situation at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.

Coincidentally, more than half of the clan members were going to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall for morning rituals, which would provide wish power, aligning with the attribute of "Sincere Heart Brings Blessing," and ensuring they would be blessed.

According to the effect mentioned for the attribute "Sincere Heart Brings Blessing," the Chen clan’s daily morning rituals met the requirements, promising long-term blessings.

In the future, the Chen clan members would certainly enjoy good health and a longer life.

The crucial aspect is that the elimination of negative influences should be perceptible.

In such a scenario, how would the clan members be? It’s likely their loyalty would reach maximum levels and even overflow.

Thinking about this, Chen Han glanced at the information regarding the sect’s base.

Upgrade requirements had already appeared.

It seems that as long as the renovation is completed, the two generated diagrams aren’t strictly necessary.

Level: Level 6 Sect’s Base

...

Upgrade requirements: 1. Wealth: (659.132 million/2 billion). 2. Reputation: (124/1 million). 3. Wish Power: (56/100 thousand). 4. Feng Shui Array Formation (1/2). 5. Three Talents Plants Forest.

Chen Han was somewhat taken aback.

This upgrade required meeting five conditions.

Wealth and reputation were apparently no longer crucial; the requirements hadn’t changed from the previous level.

However, wish power had increased tenfold, requiring 100,000 wish power for the next upgrade.

This was a bit of a trap.

It’s important to understand that currently, collecting wish power was more challenging for him than wealth or reputation.

Wealth was the easiest to accumulate; as long as he spread the word, many wealthy individuals willing to donate money would come.

Moreover, the canola flower cultivation project would yield significant income after harvest, and selling Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea could quickly amass 2 billion.

Reputation was self-explanatory; gaining followers online would increase it, and in the offline world, many tourists intrigued by the Chen family’s mysteries would also boost reputation.

In contrast, wish power currently came solely from the Chen clan members’ daily morning and evening rituals.

Receiving wish power from tourists was a matter of luck.

Previously, even 10,000 wish power was the slowest to achieve.

Now, with the requirement having increased tenfold, it seemed necessary for the Chen clan to find loyal followers to provide wish power regularly, especially as the "Sincere Heart Brings Blessing" attribute was present.

Previously, no matter how mystical the tales about the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable were, even with the attribute causing misfortune for wrongdoings, for the followers, offering incense only contributed wish power, and the followers didn’t derive any benefits, except for a very low chance of winning in a lottery to increase their luck.

But the winning tourists were few.

Now with the "Sincere Heart Brings Blessing," followers could provide wish power and gain the benefits of a blessing, and the elimination of negative influences should be tangible.

When followers could sense the feedback from the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, devout followers might come every day, especially those in the Linhe County area.

This could be promoted further by Aunty, spreading the message as if it were a local sermon.

However, regarding the other two upgrade conditions:

The Feng Shui Array Formation required two.

The existing one was likely the underground Qi Management Array.

The other was the one awarded by the system, the Gentle Wind Feng Shui Array Formation.

As for the final upgrade requirement, the Three Talents Plants Forest would require some effort.

The Taoist School’s Three Talents Plants are pine, bamboo, and plum.

Pine, bamboo, and plum are also known as the "Three Friends of Winter," and in Taoist School’s culture, the "Three Talents" refers to heaven, earth, and humanity, with pine, bamboo, and plum respectively symbolizing the firmness of heaven, the suppleness of earth, and the resilience of humanity, embodying the Taoist spirit of conforming to nature and being indomitable.

Therefore, the Level 6 Sect’s Base requires the Chen family to have pine, bamboo, and plum forests, specifically planting pine, bamboo, and plum groves.

Coincidentally, the county had allocated a tourism development fund to the Chen family, allowing for large-scale development of the back hill, where they could plant the Three Talents Plants scenic groves.

The justification was that these Three Talents Plants met the aesthetic and cultural requirements of the Taoist plants, and they could also be linked to the Gentle Wind Feng Shui Array Formation that would soon be set up.

Anyway, he only needed to instruct, and Little Uncle would lead the Workshop Hall to execute it.

Once the Gentle Wind Feng Shui Array Formation was established, Little Uncle and his team would only be impressed and would naturally associate the Three Talents Plants with the Feng Shui Array Formation.

It’s just that the exact size needed for the pine, bamboo, and plum groves was unclear, so they had to start planting until the area was sufficient.

Understanding the upgrade requirements for the Level 6 Sect’s Base, Chen Han left the courtyard.

Youfu, Three Oxen, and Doggy were already waiting for him; as soon as Youfu saw him, it lay down, inviting him to climb onto its back.

Chen Han gently kicked Youfu and commanded, "Today, you go by yourselves."

After saying this, he headed towards the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.

Three Oxen and Doggy, having gained intelligence, understood his instruction; after Youfu got up, Three Oxen and Doggy headed towards the Special Spiritual Acupoint.

It wasn’t long before Chen Han arrived at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.

Aunty and a few palace guards had already arrived.

Some of the earlier rising elders of the Chen clan were also there.

For the Chen clan members, daily morning and evening rituals also served as a benefit, as simply listening to the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" was a kind of enjoyment.

Seeing Chen Han’s arrival, the family elders respectfully greeted him, "The Patriarch has arrived."

Aunty curiously asked, "Patriarch, how come you have time to visit this morning?"

Chen Han casually said, "Aunty, last night I dreamed that the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable sent me a message. The Celestial Venerable said he would bless the Chen clan members and devout followers even more favorably. As long as they are devout enough, after offering incense, they will sense the blessings, which will not only eliminate everyone’s physical negative effects but also ensure long-term divine blessings that lead to good health and longevity."

These words left Aunty and the surrounding Chen clan members a bit dumbfounded.
