"Also, didn’t you say the Celestial Venerable whispered to you that soone offered blessings? That’s ! Now the Celestial Venerable has blessed you; I must keep my word. Otherwise, what if the Celestial Venerable doesn’t bless you next year?"
"???." Chen Han was even more confused.
His words were just nonsense; the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable never whispered that soone offered blessings. How did Xiaomi get involved?
Seeing his expression, Xiaomi quickly said, "Co on, don’t look like that. Your sect doesn’t forbid marriage, and besides, isn’t cultivation about dual cultivation partners?"
"Uh! Dual cultivation partners probably don’t an what you think," Chen Han said, bewildered.
"Anyway, you understand what it ans!" Xiaomi snorted charmingly.
"Clearly, I understand." Chen Han said, sowhat embarrassed, "But since you apprenticed under Auntie, doesn’t that make you my Martial Aunt? Dual cultivation that way would be defiance, and it’s not permitted!"
"Ah??" Xiaomi was stunned upon hearing that. It seed... a bit... confusing...
Chen Han could only suggest, "Don’t apprentice; follow Auntie’s practice, and be a Daoist Layman. Layn can be dual cultivation partners."
"So, does dual cultivation partner an that?" Xiaomi suddenly asked sweetly.
"..." Chen Han.
The two left the room and proceeded together to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, where they t Auntie.
"Patriarch!" Auntie greeted him respectfully.
Seeing Auntie, Chen Han politely said, "Auntie, I have sothing to discuss with you. Xiaomi is very interested in the Taoist Sect’s cultivation and wishes to follow you in practice. I hope you will guide her."
Auntie looked at Xiaomi in surprise; she naturally knew this young lady. Xiaomi had helped the Chen Family greatly, and many in the clan were grateful to her.
Now, with the Patriarch personally bringing her, there was no way to refuse; Auntie said, "I shall oversee Xiaomi’s formal initiation."
Formal initiation and the Threefold Refuge are also basic prerequisites for cultivation in this sect. Once initiated, one becos a Daoist Layman.
As long as the Chen Family provides the necessary docuntation, a Daoist Layman certificate can be processed.
Threefold Refuge requires ti and processes, so Chen Han left Xiaomi to Auntie’s care and returned to the courtyard. Once seated, so notifications suddenly appeared:
{"Congratulations, the Cloud Barrier Cauldron has been successfully restored, with new functions!"}
Chen Han imdiately checked the warehouse; indeed, the restoration runes flashing on the surface of the Cloud Barrier Cauldron had disappeared, and the cauldron’s body showed so differences. The cracks were fewer than before, and the color was deeper.
So runes now had a brilliant sheen.
This was likely the side effect of restoration.
Thinking about it, he imdiately examined the Cloud Barrier Cauldron’s notes, which had indeed changed.
{"Cloud Barrier Cauldron: A life-saving Magical Treasure equipping so disciples from the Yin Mountain Sect, possessing special functions. It can refine Cloud Barrier Pills, which, once released, instantly generate a fog covering several kiloters, confusing enemies and buying escape ti. If the Cloud Barrier Cauldron self-destructs, it can instantly produce fog covering dozens of kiloters as a shield.
Damaged: Due to self-destruction by Demon Sect Demons, engraved runes were damaged, and attributes of refined Cloud Barrier Pills are incomplete. Specific attributes of Cloud Barrier Pills depend on the refinent’s outco.
Restrictions: 1. Daily Basic Refinent Count (ordinary) 1/1 (needs Spiritual Qi replenishnt to refine again, with different consumption levels for Basic and Interdiate Refinents!). 2. Daily Refinent Count (refined) 1/1 (spend 50,000 reputation to refine an ordinary Cloud Barrier Pill, enhancing the Shadowy Demons effect to confuse enemies!).
Interdiate Restoration: 1,000,000 reputation!
Cloud Barrier Pill Refinent Materials: Demon Beast Fat, Smoke-producing Spirit Flowers and Herbs!"}
Chen Han finished reading the notes, being first drawn to the interdiate restoration cost of 1,000,000 reputations—not just basic repair, then interdiate repair, and possibly high-level repair afterward?
This ga-like, money-grubbing design—must the system mimic it?
Plus, even if they charge, is it this excessive—demanding 1,000,000 reputations?
Even greedy capitalists aren’t this rciless.
However, he soon saw the new functions of the Cloud Barrier Cauldron, dividing into Basic and Interdiate Refinents. Clearly, the Interdiate refinent’s Cloud Barrier Pills cover a larger area.
Yet, he was primarily attracted to the added daily refined refinent count.
Spending 50,000 reputations to enhance the Shadowy Demons effect to confuse enemies—it should be just as he imagined?
