Chapter 6: Spiritual Energy Cleansing, Increases Lifespan by Half a Day!
The hour of Mao (卯时) is between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Chen Han decisively took out his phone and set several alarms to make sure he could get up before dawn the next day.

Xiaoyu had already led Mr. Zhao and his group to admire the three old elm trees, and even took videos and photos of them before sending them to the group.

Staying under the three old elm trees was indeed very comfortable, so Zhao Kang and his group thoroughly enjoyed themselves and didn't return to the Chen Family Ancient Building Complex's accommodation restaurant for lunch until noon.

If well-prepared, they feel so refreshed and comfortable that they could picnic under the tree all day long.

In the afternoon, Zhao Kang and his group were reluctant to leave.

Zhao Kang sincerely exclaimed, "I never expected the Chen family to give us such a big surprise. We didn't have enough time this time, but next time we will definitely come and stay for two more days. The rustic beauty and scenic views here, as well as the Taoist family's heritage, are perfect for cultivating one's mind and body."

Others nodded.

This was the first time Xiaoyu had seen such a strong desire from a repeat customer, so she immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, you can join our Chen family's tourist group. We'll also post any special events or discounts we have in the group."

As she spoke, she had already taken out a QR code and handed it over.

Developing tourism related to the Chen family and allowing the Chen family to shine again was the last wish of Master and Mistress. In order to help her senior brother fulfill this wish, she will seize every favorable opportunity.

Zhao Kang and his group were already very satisfied with Chen's trip, so they naturally gave him face and all scanned the QR code to join the tourist group.

There aren't many people in the group, only a little over 100.

It's obvious that not many people in the Chen family know about this place, and there aren't many places for them to visit.

“A place like the Chen Clan should not be overlooked. I will help promote it.” Zhao Kang said, and actually took out his phone, found a few photos that Xiao Yu had taken for them, uploaded them to his WeChat Moments, and posted a title: “I highly recommend visiting the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex in Shangyuan Village.”

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao." Xiaoyu was sincerely grateful. Mr. Zhao drove a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and given his demeanor, he must have assets and connections in the county. His help in promoting the product on his WeChat Moments might actually be effective.

When Chen Lin came out, he saw Xiao Yu busy entertaining guests. He smiled and nodded. Remembering the matter of having Chen Han carry on the family line, he went over to greet Xiao Yu after she saw the group off: "Xiao Yu, are you done with your work?"

Xiaoyu greeted him with a smile, "Uncle."

"Xiaoyu, thank you for your hard work," Chen Lin said with a smile.

"It's not hard work, it's Master and Mistress's last wish." Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her head. Of course, Master and Mistress were the best excuse, but the key was that she wanted to help her senior brother fulfill this last wish.

Chen Lin knew perfectly well what was going on, but deliberately probed, "By the way, Xiaoyu, there's something I need to tell you. Xiaohan is the only heir in our lineage, and we need him to carry on the Chen family business. I'm planning to introduce him to a girlfriend. What do you think?"

"Oh no!" Xiaoyu said almost instinctively, and then she saw her uncle's mischievous grin and immediately knew that he was teasing her.

"Xiaoyu, you have to keep it up." Chen Lin's face was full of smiles, feeling that he really should have a good talk with his nephew again.

Xiaoyu, looking embarrassed, said, "Uncle, I'm going to edit the video," and then hurriedly left.

Editing videos naturally involves editing the footage of today's ancient building complex and uploading it to the Douyin account for promotion, so as to better promote the Chen Family Ancient Building Complex.

The buildings and scenery I photographed today are more beautiful than usual, and they will definitely look great when uploaded.

at night.

Chen Han and his uncle ate a table full of light food.

After taking a few bites, Chen Lin brought up yesterday's events again: "Xiao Han, Xiao Yu is really a good girl."

Chen Han sighed. Of course he knew his junior sister was a good girl.

But there are some things...

He is well aware of his current physical condition.

Besides, even if he recovers, he still has a girlfriend, right?
I just don't know if she acknowledged the relationship at that time.

After all, she is a goddess of traditional Chinese style with more than 300 million fans. He left without saying goodbye and blocked her silently. There is no way she would come back to him.

Sometimes, matters of the heart are truly beyond our control.

Realizing he had no appetite, he went back to his own courtyard.

Instead, I overthink things, my emotions fluctuate, and the lung cancer cells seem to start acting up again. I feel completely exhausted and don't want to move once I lie down in bed.

the next day.

Chen Han woke up to the sound of an alarm clock. The first thing he did was check his lifespan information:

Name: Chen Han Age: 24
Lifespan: 27 days, 19 hours, and 30 minutes.

Physical condition: None
Realm: None
Passive skills: none

Active skills: none

Life expectancy has been reduced by another day.

He checked the time again and saw that it was almost 5 o'clock, which was close to the hour of Mao (5-7 AM). He quickly got up and left the attic.

In this season, it's already getting light before 5 a.m.

He hadn't gotten up this early in a long time, and due to his physical condition, he was quite tired. However, once he reached the special spiritual acupoint, the refreshing and comfortable feeling invigorated him considerably.

He also entered the pavilion, casually sat down in a cross-legged position, appearing somewhat lazy, as if his sitting posture was not formal at all.

In fact, Taoist meditation is divided into seated posture, cross-legged posture, half-lotus posture, and double-lotus posture. Although there are fixed postures, there is no rule that Taoist disciples should choose which one.

On Douyin, there was a woman posing as a female Taoist priest who thought herself professional and pointed out that a Taoist ascetic was not sitting properly in cross-legged position. She even talked a big game, but she didn't know that the slightly lazy way of sitting was the Taoist casual cross-legged position.

Ultimately, the woman was refuted by the Wudang Taoist priest and reported. She no longer dared to wear Taoist robes to spread rumors and only dared to post some classic Taoist quotes to gain popularity.

Taoism emphasizes spontaneity, and the way one sits cross-legged should be whatever is most comfortable for them.

Chen Han felt refreshed and comfortable, but when 5 a.m. arrived, he did not feel anything unusual, so he did not know what the spiritual energy cleansing was like.

After waiting for a long time, and just as he was wondering, a ray of light appeared on the horizon. The sun rose and met the earth. In that instant, Chen Han realized that his surroundings had suddenly changed.

He clearly felt a sensation many times more comfortable than before, as if a special energy was flowing and spreading around him. He felt every hair follicle on his body open up at that moment, and then he began to breathe greedily, as if a person who was about to suffocate had sensed the source of life.

In fact, in this state, he felt his body was more relaxed and he was in an excellent condition.

He was somewhat addicted to this feeling, because he hadn't felt this good in a long time.

This process lasted for a moment, then came to an abrupt end, followed by the exhaustion of a terminally ill, dying body.

He understood that what he had just experienced must have been a cleansing of spiritual energy.

I also realized that in Taoism, the rising sun symbolizes vitality and power, and is also regarded as the time when spiritual energy is most abundant. Therefore, the time when the sun appears is the time when spiritual energy is washed away.

However, after this spiritual energy cleansing, he couldn't feel any changes in his body. Apart from that momentary feeling of well-being, there was nothing else.

However, after studying it for a while, when he opened the character panel again, a look of joy appeared on his face:

Name: Chen Han

Age: 24
Lifespan: 28 days, 6 hours, and 23 minutes.

That's right, the lifespan has increased by 12 hours, or half a day, if you do the math.

According to Taoist legends, places rich in spiritual energy can prolong life and improve health, and this claim is indeed true.

A single spiritual energy cleansing can increase one's lifespan by half a day. Special spiritual acupoints can be cleansed once a day. As things stand, he can survive for at least another 14 days.

As Chen Han was thinking, he suddenly heard two barks and saw the little mongrel from yesterday dart past from not far away.

Then, two more barks rang out, and two more stray dogs darted past behind the little mongrel. The reason there are so many stray dogs in rural areas is because of uncontrolled breeding. In this economic climate, everyone needs to go out to work, and there's no way to take the dogs kept in the village with them.

If even one is left unattended, and it's a female, then soon there will be a whole litter, and then...

Humans can get away with things and not take responsibility, but dogs really don't take responsibility after they've done it.

As Chen Han was pondering this, he suddenly stared in astonishment at the game notification that had appeared:
[Crisis Mission: The previously driven-away dog ​​demon is gathering other dog demons, which may pose a threat to the sect's territory. Please investigate the purpose of their gathering as soon as possible!]

[Construction Task: If the dog demon intends to harm the sect's headquarters, its primary target is likely the newly constructed special spirit cave. Please find the clan's crafts elder as soon as possible to construct defensive measures for the special spirit cave!]

"???" Chen Han looked at the two tasks that suddenly appeared and wanted to say: This works?
For some reason, I feel the game system is a bit shameless, using stray dogs for role-playing again.

But such a 'powerful' dog demon was exactly what he wanted.

The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish; the stronger the dog demon, the greater the challenge. Only by completing the mission in this way can you rightfully receive the reward.
