Chapter 593 - 258: Preparing for Demon-Vanquishing! Lifting the Veil of Mystery (Part 3)

After Xiaoyu brought the people, she handed them over to Auntie and stood aside.

Naturally, Chen Han also sat on a chair; it was the Patriarch’s seat, and only he could sit there for now. In the future, when more people practice martial arts, the three Hall Masters, including Chen Lin, could also sit.

Auntie nodded at the three people and said, "Step forward and take the incense, burn it and pay respects to the ancestors."

This was also the first step in imparting techniques. After the three children received the incense, they were to stand solemnly before the ancestral master, bow three times, then insert the incense into the censer, praying for the master’s protection and ensuring the orthodox inheritance of the martial path.

Auntie’s teaching was excellent, and the three had good comprehension, performing the ritual with poise and grace.

Chen Han recorded this scene.

Such ceremonies were unknown to many outside, and even many so-called martial arts families had lost these traditions.

By recording it now, people could see that the Chen Family was indeed inheriting some traditional practices.

These were indeed passed down by the Chen Family.

Of course, if Auntie hadn’t passed it down, it might have been completely lost in the next generation.

Now, with the palace guards, Auntie had successfully passed it down.

Since the palace guards were supported by the family, it was a good position, ensuring that these cultural traditions, rituals respecting teachers, and similar practices would continue.

After paying respect to the ancestral master with incense, the second step was to offer tea.

First, offer tea to the ancestral master, then to the teacher; however, with the Chen Family’s tradition, it meant offering it to the Patriarch.

In the future, when more people practice martial arts and decide which hall to join, they would also offer tea to the Hall Master.

The third step was to recite the family rules.

The rules of the Chen Family were naturally those passed down before, specifically the teachings of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable:

"Follow the path to truth, be loyal and filial, worship the mystical heaven, chant the divine spells... establish virtue and merit, uphold the ten vows... vanquish demons, protect the community!"

These rules were being recited by Chen Dagou, who, with his rugged appearance and loud voice, recited with great momentum.

Once the series of rituals concluded, Chen Han stopped recording.

What followed was not to be recorded as it genuinely involved imparting techniques and matters concerning Body Forging Pills and Medicinal Wine.

"Everyone, follow me!" Chen Han said and then left the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, heading towards his courtyard.

Xiaoyu, along with the three others, followed, and so did Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng.

Upon returning to the courtyard, Chen Han had the group wait, then entered the main hall to bring out a jar of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine and a bottle of Body Forging Pills, placing them on the table.

Xiaoyu and Chen Lin were drawn to it, speculating that these items might be related to the "Wind-Hunting Void Kick."

Chen Han then asked Xiaoyu, Little Uncle, and others, "Junior Sister, Little Uncle, Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng, how have you been practicing the ’Wind-Hunting Void Kick’?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately replied, "Senior Brother, this leg technique is simple!"

Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng also nodded.

After mastering the breathing technique, practicing it felt very easy.

"The power of this leg technique is great," Chen Dagou added. He tried it against a tree on the mountain, realizing his strength.

Chen Han wasn’t surprised by these responses.

The "Wind-Hunting Void Kick" was martial, and Xiaoyu, along with Little Uncle, were already engaged in Cultivation, regularly consuming demon beast meat dishes, making their physical conditioning extraordinarily strong by ordinary standards.

Even if they hadn’t yet channeled True Qi into their Dantian.

Now, having the martial leg technique and detailed cultivation methods before them, they could easily master it given their physical condition.

Chen Dao and Chen Linlin, upon hearing this conversation, felt a stir within them, their heart rates quickening.

The Chen Family had numerous palm, sword, and leg techniques that were taught by Uncle Dagou to the clan, which everyone could practice.

But everyone knew those weren’t the family’s true cultivation techniques.

Now, hearing about the ’Wind-Hunting Void Kick’ for the first time, both knew it must be the family’s true skill.

Chen Han further explained, "The ’Wind-Hunting Void Kick’ is not something anyone can practice; it requires assistance from things like medicinal meals, medicinal wine, and elixirs. Otherwise, even if the technique were given, others would not be able to train in it."

"And the preparation of these medicinal meals, medicinal wine, and elixirs is our Chen Family’s foundation."

"The supply of medicinal meals is limited, and while there is some medicinal wine, it’s not abundant. However, Body Forging Pills can be regularly refined. Junior Sister, this will require your effort in the future."

"Previously, you refined only Ordinary Body Forging Pills which could serve as rewards for ordinary clan members. Now, with the herbal materials from the spirit field, you can refine more high-level Body Forging Pills. Every month, prioritize making them for these three first."

"Understood, Senior Brother," Xiaoyu nodded.

She understood the purpose of that jar of wine, likely being the medicinal wine.

As for the medicinal meals, what the senior brother prepared daily was already known to be scarce and impossible to distribute.

Chen Dao and Chen Linlin felt that the more they learned about the family, the more they realized how ignorant they were before.

Even though many gifted clan members had received Body Forging Pills as rewards, nobody knew these pills had different levels.

Finally, Chen Han addressed Chen Dagou, "Uncle Dagou, you will be responsible for instructing Da Long, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin on the ’Wind-Hunting Void Kick.’ Provide them with a share of medicinal wine and Body Forging Pills daily for a month. If the wine runs out, come to me, and if the pills are gone, seek out Xiaoyu."

"Alright, leave it to me." Chen Dagou immediately agreed, finding joy in teaching martial arts to the clan, much like when he trained the Demon Suppression Hall members, it brought him a sense of accomplishment.

Chen Han handed things over to Uncle Dagou, and once that was settled, Xiaoyu, Little Uncle, and Uncle Shuisheng went off to continue with their tasks.

Chen Han then edited the footage he had shot earlier.

Time slipped by, and evening soon approached.

The Chen Family’s Spiritual Spring had gained fame, and despite the mountain path being under construction, many tourists still made the trek to explore.

After taking a few sips from the spring, everyone was convinced that the legends were true; the Chen Family’s spring was truly miraculous.

Within a short period, more people were drawn to the Chen Family’s Spirit Spring, everyone wanting to visit and mark their presence there, and some even brought bottles to take some of the spring water home with them.

As Chen Kai hoped, the mountain’s spring became another hallmark for the Chen Family. Consequently, the number of tickets sold increased to 2,000.

With enough time between ascending and descending the mountain, the Chen Family managed to accommodate 2,000 visitors.

As evening came, many tourists who had visited the Spirit Spring were descending, as was Dong Feng, who, along with his girlfriend, was utterly exhausted from climbing, just to accompany her to the spring.

Yet, the effect of the spring astonished him. After taking a few sips, he felt immensely refreshed, and crucially, it restored his energy.

Thus, after resting with his girlfriend on the mountain, he now found himself invigorated on the descent.

"Honey, isn’t that one of the Chen Family’s experts?" his girlfriend pointed out suddenly.

Dong Feng instinctively looked over; being most curious about the Chen Family’s skills, he too had a martial arts dream like many men.

He recognized what seemed to be the Hall Master of the Demon Suppression Hall, one of the Chen Family’s three notable white vest experts.

Currently, the person was leading three others up the mountain, each with sandbags tied to their legs.

It looked as if they were training.

If the Chen Family expert was supervising them, it was likely martial arts instruction.

This scene drew the attention of numerous tourists, witnessing for the first time a Chen Family expert mentoring young members of the family.

At that moment, Dong Feng overheard someone exclaim, "Look, the Patriarch Chen has posted a new video! It seems these three are the Chen Family’s prodigies, having just undergone the family’s technique-passing ceremony. Now, they must be practicing under the guidance of a family expert."

Upon hearing this, Dong Feng instinctively pulled out his phone to check and then wore a look of amazement.

There had been scant information online about this, with few understanding the Chen Family’s martial arts.

Even the training methods of the Chen Family’s martial arts were a mystery to many.

Now, it seemed that a corner of that mystery was being unveiled.
