Chapter 720: What the Hell! Patriarch Chen Is the Purple Robe? (2)

“Is there such a thing?” Chen Han pretended to be clueless, with a big smile on his face: “Fellow Daoists, it’s the new era, we must believe in science.”

Believe in science?

After witnessing that scene just now, are they still supposed to believe in science?

These Daoists began to feel a bit resentful towards Daoist Chen.

Because ‘believe in science’ is his catchphrase, which has even spread online and become a meme.

If it weren’t for this, how could Patriarch Chen learn it and use it to achieve even greater mastery?

Chen Han chuckled softly and as he walked down, he added: “Fellow Daoists, each sect has its own fate, don’t force it. It’s better to study Feng Shui more.”

He was not going to teach the cultivation method to outsiders; this was also a reminder. After all, studying Feng Shui, using the two Feng Shui books he compiled through the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone, may yield results.

Who knows, perhaps these Daoists could actually develop their own insights and become Feng Shui Masters.

However, as these Daoists heard his words, they couldn’t help but visualize it themselves.

“Is Patriarch Chen saying that each sect’s fate is different, and we should go back to look at our own Qi Refining methods?” one Daoist instinctively remarked.

Another Daoist echoed: “It should be like this; after all, the gods we worship differ, as do our interpretations of the scriptures. It is said that Qi Refining should be complemented by scripture interpretation, hence the supernatural powers of each sect’s progenitors are different.”

This remark received approval from Celestial Master Zhang, Daoist Li, and Daoist Xuan Shi; they indeed needed to return and thoroughly study the Qi Refining classics and delve into deeper scripture interpretations.

After all, Patriarch Chen had already pointed this out so clearly; it’s a matter of great importance.

In ancient times, sects valued their teachings highly, and even within the Taoist Sect, such matters wouldn’t be easily shared.

If Chen Han knew about these Daoists’ self-visualizations, he would definitely shake his head and sigh heavily.

What does this have to do with anything?

In Five Dragon Palace, an internal area of Wudang, there’s the purest atmosphere of Taoist cultivation, and upon exiting the guest room area, Chen Han heard the sound of chanting.

The Daoists at Wudang were conducting their morning lesson.

From the chanting, wisps of smoke rose and coiled.

Because this Feng Shui exchange meeting had gathered so many Daoists from the Taoist Sect, nearly all Purple Robe Daoists attended; it truly was a grand event for the Taoist Sect.

Therefore, Wudang had long arranged for people to prepare breakfast for the guests and assigned several Daoists to guide them.

Wudang’s breakfast was quite good; light but not bland, and not at all tedious.

After breakfast, Xiaomi connected via video call, still at Kun Dao Institute, watering flowers with a Kun Dao.

The Kun Dao at Wudang was quite laid-back; as Xiaomi pointed the video camera toward them, they even waved at the camera.

After video chatting for a while, Association President Daoist Li, Daoist Qingwei, and others arrived; there was an important matter today.

Firstly, Daoist Li, representing the association, was to confer records, a purple robe, and decree upon him, validating his role as Vice President.

This process wasn’t merely a direct bestowal; it required a solemn conferral ceremony, with functions such as Mentor and Guiding Mentor involving various Daoists.

Of course, the most important part was witnessing by Mages, with Purple Robe Daoists (Vice Presidents) participating as witnesses.

If it were in the Chen Family, gathering the required personnel for such a conferral ceremony might be impossible.

Because the Chen Family has no members on record or in the registry at all.

By rights, a Taoist Sect lineage family like the Chen Family, which has lost its roots and is off the records, is almost insignificant.

But unfortunately, the Chen Family’s reputation is too grand; the Feng Shui exchange meeting couldn’t proceed without Patriarch Chen.

To put it bluntly, the Chen Family could exist without the association, but the association seemingly can’t exist without the Chen Family.

Thus, bestowing these upon the Chen Family emphasizes the significance rather than quantity.

Given this, some things that could be adapted were adapted, and the required personnel were filled by those Daoists who attended the Feng Shui exchange.

This resulted in Chen Han’s ceremony being more grandiose and of higher spec than those of previous Purple Robe Daoists.

After all, it was already the bestowal of the Purple Robe; past Daoists inviting Purple Robe Daoists were only for observation, with participants from their sects not being of Purple Robe level, as their role was just being bestowed Purple Robe themselves.

Now, observing Patriarch Chen’s bestowal ceremony, those acting as Mentors and Guiding Mentors are Purple Robe Daoists.

Serving as scripture experts afterward were renowned Taoists like Daoist Xuan Shi and Daoist Chen.

This could be considered a Taoist Sect ritual endorsing a Daoist Venerable.

However, after Chen Han received the records, purple robe, decree, and Vice President certificate, the ceremony approached its conclusion; once the Daoists finished their chanting, it was over.

Yet Chen Han was surprised to see the game prompts appearing in his mind.

[Congratulations on obtaining an exclusive family record. You can confer Taoist names to family members, clarify official identity, and report to the Celestial Venerable; incense and candle altar can activate the record. Record 10 real family members, and receive a family gift package X1.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Purple Robe Daoist Attire, a symbol of high-level mages, with recording capability, reporting to the Celestial Venerable; incense and candle altar, Purple Robe Enlightenment, can cooperate with decree usage; Attributes gained: Dignity +2, Majesty +2.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the decree, recognized as the rightful Taoist Sect, proof of divine transmission, reporting to the Celestial Venerable; incense and candle altar, gain Celestial Venerable Command Technique X1.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the official certificate, appointed as the official Taoist Mage by the authorities, reporting to the Celestial Venerable; incense and candle altar, can initiate Taoist Sect position grading and confer talismans.]

Chen Han was astonished looking at these four game prompts, all part of game module 2, all requiring reporting to the Celestial Venerable to activate attributes.
