Chapter 297 - 153: Dew Containing Spiritual Qi!
Chen Han went to the Library Pavilion to check some relevant Daoist Books.
According to records, Rootless Water is not limited to rainwater, apparently dew is also Rootless Water.
If it’s dew, you can go to a higher location on the mountain, dew should be found, it doesn’t necessarily need to be a rainy day.
However, you have to go up the mountain early in the morning; there’s no way dew will be available at this time.
So, he decided to prepare other things first, and then try painting the Blessing and Peace Talisman.
Talisman pen and Yellow Paper, Cinnabar and such things are not hard to find; after all, the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall has them stocked year-round. He directly asked his aunt for some, then returned to the courtyard and took out the vermillion inkstone.
The vermillion inkstone is similar to the inkstone, but Cinnabar itself cannot be used to paint Talismans; it needs to be mixed into a thick paste with liquid before it can be used for Talisman painting.
Chen Han took out some Cinnabar and used some water from the reservoir to mix it.
This reservoir water has been transformed by him into Spirit Plant Dew, used to water the orchids in the courtyard.
After mixing Cinnabar into a thick paste, he also took the talisman pen and began painting according to the Talisman Painting Technique for the Blessing and Peace Talisman.
The talismanic brushwork for this Blessing and Peace Talisman is not complicated, and when Chen Han learned the Talisman Painting Technique, he had already mastered it completely in his mind.
So, as soon as he lifted the pen, he began to paint on a sheet of Yellow Paper, completing two paintings in one go.
Stored in the warehouse, he saw the remark:
[This is a failed Blessing and Peace Talisman painting because Rune energy cannot be preserved during the blessing without using Rootless Water Talisman!]
Indeed, Talismans painted without Rootless Water are just Wasted Talismans.
Chen Han also stored all the tools and materials in the warehouse; now he can only wait to collect Rootless Water to continue painting.
At this moment, he saw the family group suddenly becoming very lively.
Xiaoyu made a notice announcement over there: From now on, everyone working in the clan must wear Hanfu work uniforms, and they must have their size registered with Chen Xiaoyan before tomorrow. Failure to register, and then not wearing Hanfu during work will result in a deduction from month’s bonus.
Wearing Hanfu work clothes in ancient architecture parks is common; it had already been implemented before, but it was not explicitly mandated and wasn’t as strict.
Thus, some clan members would not wear Hanfu for various reasons while working.
Now, due to the National Style Event, this rule has been clarified.
After all, National Style Events offer discounts for those wearing Hanfu, and it doesn’t make sense for staff not to wear Hanfu.
Moreover, ancient architecture plus Hanfu truly complement each other well, and the more people wearing Hanfu, the different the vibe.
Chen Han looked at his casual clothes; to avoid having bonuses deducted by his junior sister, he also went into his room to change into Yun Tianhe’s clothes.
Not the wildman outfit from games, but the Qionghua Sect’s attire.
With three Magic Robes, he had enough for everyday wear rotations.
But he soon realized a rather ridiculous fact, which was that he doesn’t have a salary or bonuses, so there’s no need to fear bonus deductions.
Garlic Bird, partnered with the junior sister for work.
With nothing else to do, Chen Han checked the time and went around to inspect various parts of the clan.
The Chen Family has developed to its current state, definitely can’t compare to those Mystic Sect Holy Lands with daily numbers easily reaching tens of thousands, or even high peaks of over a hundred thousand visitors daily.
But the numbers are definitely significant; before and after the Enlightenment ceremony, daily visitors exceeded a thousand.
Such numbers could likely cause issues in certain aspects.
Fortunately, after surveying, he didn’t find any major problems, small issues can be rectified later.
But on the way to the Cultivation Marketplace, he saw a familiar figure, wasn’t it Captain Li Rui from the county’s criminal team, who handled the case with the dog thieves and theft gangs earlier?
He was walking a completely white police dog, very attractive in appearance.
Seeing him, he went up to greet him: "Captain Li, are you here to inspect today?"
Li Rui, suddenly encountering Patriarch Chen, instinctively felt tense and quickly composed himself to say: "Ah, Patriarch Chen, I’m just coming to take a look, the county is very focused on the Chen Family now."
After all, he came with a purpose, didn’t want this person to know.
Chen Han didn’t suspect anything, chatted with him briefly and then left.
Li Rui then let out a relieved breath, took his dog to wander around, and soon saw a pack of dogs running from afar, his eyes lit up.
He immediately squatted beside the police dog, pointing at the leading mutt and said: "See that stray dog? Go and get it."
Saying this, he untied the dog’s leash, letting the police dog run over, his good daughter is in heat lately.
The intelligence of this stray dog he had observed, surely there’s reason to believe it’s a genetic mutation, the dog king old people used to talk about.
If this gene could be inherited by his daughter’s offspring, perhaps he could cultivate excellent police dogs.
Watching his daughter run over, a silly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but in a moment, his smile froze.
That stray dog downright despised his daughter, directly avoiding it, and not just avoiding but downright dodging, and then his daughter was surrounded by other dogs.
A big black dog climbed onto her back.
"Hey, this one’s no good!" Li Rui was alarmed at the sight and rushed forward to stop it, his face was urgent.
Woof woof!~
Woof woof!~
Just as he reached near, that stray dog led the other dogs to block him, barking at him.
