Chu Hao was baffled after watching Patriarch Chen's video.
The name "Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea" alone suggests it's something concocted by Patriarch Chen, a hardcore cultivation fantasy enthusiast, full of middle-schooler cultivation vibes.
Especially since Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea is just fried bamboo leaves, but looking at those effects, they're obviously nonsense made up by Patriarch Chen.
Bloody hell, if your girlfriend's desires are intense, shouldn't you be buying little pills to enhance yourself?
So these bamboo leaves can extinguish your girlfriend's fiery passion, right?
And if your girlfriend's moody, bamboo leaves work on that? Then would there even be wild girlfriends in the world?
The point is, this is just a video; he's a hardcore cultivation fantasy enthusiast, so it's no problem if Dog Demon or Thunder Bamboo Forest appear, or if he exaggerates the effects of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, since they all cultivate.
But the key is that Patriarch Chen is actually selling this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and even promotes it at the end.
It feels so absurd.
He didn't understand why he, a second-generation rich kid, ended up following such a nutjob and kept watching their videos.
However, his curiosity was piqued, so he clicked into the account homepage of Patriarch Chen's junior sister 'Xiaoyuzha.' He was indeed a bit dazzled.
Patriarch Chen's junior sister is beautiful, with over 600,000 followers.
After clicking on a few videos, he couldn't help but roast Patriarch Chen, just look at your junior sister, she's pretty, her sword dancing and boxing are impressive, instantly giving off a high-level vibe.
As a senior, why are you so low-class, playing at fantasy cultivation like some lunatic?
But he did remember the main task and opened Patriarch Chen's sister's shop window, and sure enough, he saw a link to Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
"What the hell, are you kidding me?" Chu Hao saw the price of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and directly spat out in disbelief.
Ordinary Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea costs 5,000 per pound.
Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea costs 50,000 per pound.
"???"
He wondered if he was seeing things wrong.
Even if these fried bamboo leaves could really be brewed into tea, selling for 50,000 per pound is outrageously priced, isn't it?
He suspected they added an extra zero by mistake.
Bamboo leaves are everywhere on the mountains, 50 bucks a pound for the premium ones sounds about right, that would be reasonable.
He screenshotted the price, intending to go back and roast it in Patriarch Chen's video comment section, but found that the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea video already had many people doing just that, and someone else had screenshotted the price image too.
"Junior sister is beautiful, but Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea's price shocked me."
"Patriarch Chen, you really know how to play, 50,000 a pound blinds me, but junior sister is beautiful."
"Fellow cultivator, you've mastered the art of wealth creation, your junior sister is very pretty."
"..."
Clearly, anyone seeing Patriarch Chen's Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea video can't help but curiously check out the junior sister's homepage and see the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea sales link.
This price is really too outrageous.
Suddenly, a comment caught Chu Hao's attention.
"You might not believe it, I messaged 'Xiaoyuzha' the fairy to verify if the 50,000 spirit stone price was a mistake, the fairy confirmed Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea indeed requires 50,000 spirit stones."
The comment also posted chat screenshots confirming the inquiry about Patriarch Chen's junior sister's Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea price.
Patriarch Chen's junior sister indeed answered that Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea needs 50,000 per pound.
This made him unconsciously return to 'Xiaoyuzha''s account, watching more videos. Besides the sister's valiant sword dancing and boxing videos, he was surprised to see a tourism promotional video.
Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex Tourism!
What, does Patriarch Chen really have a clan?
A clan with such a large expanse of ancient buildings?
The key is the ancient building complex's quaintness, its authentic ancient charm really catches the eye, absolutely packed with aesthetics.
He's been to many places nationwide and abroad, seen many ancient buildings, but none have the feel of this place.
But considering these ancient buildings belong to Patriarch Chen, that hardcore cultivation fantasy enthusiast, he feels a bit odd.
Anyway, after watching the junior sister's promotional video, he was genuinely surprised, even had a sudden thought: someone with such a tourism project surely can't be a fraud, right?
Besides, 'Xiaoyuzha''s account already has over 600,000 followers, given her looks and ability, she might explode into fame anytime, so there's no need to ruin herself by being a fraud, right?
Reflexively, he sent a message backstage asking: "Is Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea really 50,000 per pound?"
Soon, he received a reply: "Yes, this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea is made by our Chen clan's secret recipe, having numerous effects, you can buy with confidence."
Chen Clan's secret recipe?
Chu Hao looked at the reply from Patriarch Chen's junior sister and, somehow, inexplicably clicked on the purchase link and chose to buy a pound of Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, clicking payment.
For some reason, he had a faint sense of anticipation.
Mainly, he wasn't bothered by 50,000 bucks, sometimes hosting at a bar costs more than that.
After completing the order, Chu Hao returned to Patriarch Chen's video and found the video had gained over 200 likes, much more than his previous videos.
The key was, upon checking the comments section, he saw his own mention.
"No way, did someone really buy the 50,000 per pound Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea? Which fellow cultivator has such deep pockets?"
The comment even included a screenshot showing the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea sales link, highlighting sold: 1.
Someone saw the comment and directly replied below it:
"It's definitely a prodigy from some cultivation clan, not bothered by 50,000 bucks."
"Or maybe a holy land's saint, 50,000 spirit stones are nothing to them."
"Isn't this person an idiot?"
"..." Chu Hao suddenly didn't know what to say.
…
Chen Family.
Chen Han reclined on a chair in his garden, hearing a game notification, a smile on his face.
[Congratulations, via the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror transmission, you've gained a follower, receiving 1 reputation point!]

After uploading the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea video, the data beat previous records significantly, gaining over 200 likes in no time and drawing many comments, mostly roasting the 50,000 per pound Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
If it were just roasting, it'd be fine, but must everyone keep mentioning how beautiful the junior sister is, darn these pervs!
Moreover, even in a short span, he gained 7 reputation points.
This trend suggests the video's data might surpass his previous ones.
Indeed, within less than half an hour, the video surpassed 1,000 likes, adding over 30 reputation points, raising his total to 203.
Remember, his first Dog Demon video only accumulated over 1,400 likes.
As time goes on, Chen Han's smile widens, this video's likes keep growing until they breach 5,000, increasing his followers by over 100, raising his total reputation to 305.
With this trend, by tomorrow morning, the sect's base might achieve 500 reputation, prompting an upgrade.
Furthermore, if tonight he completes Mr. Zhao's Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea order and concludes the transaction, the sect's base can upgrade by tomorrow.
This is surely good news.
