Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

Wuxing Mountain is quite far from Qingniu Mountain.

Chen He channeled his magic power, allowing the celestial sparrow to fly continuously for half an hour before finally finding its target amidst the mountains: the Five Elements Mountain, which was within reach.

It has many unique features.

Like an upright palm, the five mountain peaks converge into one, with relatively large gaps between them, constantly surrounded by strong winds.

This is a natural barrier, making it impossible to fly directly from one mountain to another. One must go through the main gate, and ordinary cultivators cannot get close to the gale.

The Five Elements Mountains are arranged according to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The shortest is the earth element mountain, the longest is the wood element mountain, and the widest is the water element mountain.

The sharpest and steepest mountain is the Metal Mountain, while the Fire Mountain is right next to the Wood Mountain, and next to it is the shortest Earth Mountain.

Following the jade tablet's guidance, Chen He headed directly to Fire Mountain. Just as he passed through the array's light barrier, a figure appeared before him.

Before Chen He could speak, the other party waved his robe, and a five-colored spiritual light enveloped Chen He and the fairy sparrow, causing them to disappear on the spot.

Chen He felt dizzy; this was the impact of the Immortal Sparrow being forced to revert to its Jade Tablet form. Fortunately, he possessed abundant magical power and quickly recovered.

Just as his senses returned, he saw an old man grinning at him, his right little finger still picking his nose, which made Chen He's eyes twitch.

"Outer disciple Chen He greets senior." Chen He straightened his clothes, held the jade tablet, and performed the disciple's salute. "May I ask, senior...?"

"Of course, of course," the old man said with a grin. "I am the Taoist Bu Dian from Five Old Peaks. Just call me Old Man Dian."

"Crazy old man?" Chen He looked at him curiously. "You're from the Five Elders Peak, are you an elder or an inner disciple?"

"Haha, good question. Do you think I'm an elder or a disciple?" The eccentric old man flicked a booger from his nose and asked with a strange laugh.

"Do you think I should guess or not?" Chen He asked him calmly.

"Interesting," the old man said, and reached out to grab Chen He. The move was sudden and fast.

Although Chen He couldn't dodge in time, he was prepared. The moment his palm approached, a fire snake shot out from his wrist.

The fire serpent, imbued with spiritual power, shot through the air like a sharp arrow, precisely striking the old man. An extremely high temperature erupted, and flames instantly covered the old man's palm.

"Haha, you really have mastered the Fire Spirit Technique." The old man laughed and withdrew his hand, forcibly suppressing the flames.

To Chen He's astonishment, the flames compressed into a fire serpent, which roamed in the old man's palm and could not be separated from him.

"How did you do that?" Chen He couldn't help but ask. "I can feel the connection between it and me; it's my Fire Serpent Technique. How did you manage to control it?"

"Why? Of course, it's because my fire spirit technique is stronger." The old man chuckled smugly. "When your fire spirit technique reaches my level, you'll naturally be able to turn enemies into allies."

"Junior brother, don't be silly."

A cold voice entered the room, its invisible authority enveloping the entire space and making it hard to breathe.

Chen He was no exception; he felt a tightness in his chest and a distinct feeling of suffocation.

The old man was no longer happy. He clapped his hands, the fire snake disappeared, his smile vanished, and he became serious.

"Senior brother, the person has been brought!"

"Hmm," the newcomer turned around, looked at Chen He, his eyes sparkling, and nodded slightly, "Not bad, the foundation is very solid."

"This is Qi Mingxin, an elder of the Five Elders Peak of the Inner Sect," the eccentric old man said solemnly. "He is also my senior brother. Why don't you quickly pay your respects?"

"Disciple Chen He greets Elder Qi." Chen He was surprised and quickly formed the disciple's seal to bow, his attitude respectful and not daring to look directly at Elder Qi.

The Lingxiao Immortal Sect has elders, stewards, outer disciples, managers, and servants in its outer sect.

The inner sect consists of peak masters, elders, inner sect stewards, and inner sect disciples.

The inner sect deacons are already elusive figures, while the inner sect elders are highly accomplished individuals that Chen He never dared to dream of before.

However, now that he has Penglai Heaven, his mindset has already changed.

The reason they dared not look directly at the other person was that they were afraid of being seen by others, which was abnormal for an outer disciple.

"No need for formalities," Elder Qi Mingxin said. "I came here for the Penglai Token, but I never expected to discover such a promising talent."

"Senior brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?" the old man exclaimed in surprise. "Him? A kid with pseudo-five elemental spiritual roots? Is this a promising talent?"

"It's him," Elder Qi said with a smile. "Although he has a pseudo-spiritual root of the five elements, his foundation is perfect, his dantian is at its limit, and his magic power is overflowing. Although his spiritual root is poor, his foundation is very solid."

"The limit of your dantian?" The old man's eyes widened instantly. He appeared beside Chen He in a flash, looking him up and down. "How is this possible? You actually generated ten layers of qi vortexes at the first level of Qi Refining? How did you do that?"

"It was just a chance encounter." Chen He pursed his lips. "I simply rented a celestial abode in Penglai Heaven, used an array to extract spirit stones, and infused my body with spiritual energy to cultivate my Qi vortex."

"Good heavens, that must have consumed millions of spirit stones." The old man clicked his tongue in amazement. "The fundamental cultivation technique of our Five Elders Peak consumes a massive amount of spiritual energy at the Qi Cyclone level."

"After the three layers of cyclones, the spiritual energy consumed doubles with each additional layer, and the final cyclone will consume several times more spiritual energy."

Elder Qi looked at Chen He meaningfully and said, "Over the years, including you, a total of six people from Five Elders Peak have chosen to cultivate the Five Elements Return to Origin Divine Scripture. Only you have cultivated ten layers of Qi vortex at the first level of Qi Refining."

"That's right, even the strongest one only cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Cyclone." The old man sighed. "That's already an extremely solid foundation, ranking among the top in the history of Five Elders Peak. I never expected to produce a little guy like you."

No wonder my senior brother said he was a promising talent. With such a solid foundation, he will greatly benefit from his future cultivation and be able to make up for his lack of spiritual roots.

Chen He's throat was a little dry. "This disciple is unaware of the mysteries involved, and there are no related records in the cultivation techniques passed down."

He was troubled by his spiritual root, so from the foundation building stage onwards, he tried his best to reach the extreme. Even the process of drawing qi into the body could only be considered successful after comprehending the resonance of the five elements.

Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, they laid a solid foundation and even attracted the attention of the elders of the Five Elders Peak.

"There was no deliberate record because it is inherently difficult to achieve," Elder Qi Mingxin said. "You don't need to feel burdened; this is a good thing. Originally, you only had a pseudo-spiritual root and did not meet the standards for joining the Five Elders Peak."

The number of inner sect peaks is limited, so there are requirements for spiritual roots. At the very least, they will not easily accept disciples with pseudo-spiritual roots of the five elements.

The situation is naturally different now.

"Can a disciple directly join the Five Elders Peak?" Chen He asked in surprise.

"It's not that simple," Elder Qi shook his head. "Your cultivation level is not high enough. If you want to enter the inner sect and become a disciple of the inner sect peak, your cultivation level must be at least the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"You must reach the seventh level of Qi Refining before the age of thirty," the old man added. "If you are an alchemist, you must also refine second-tier high-grade pills and master at least one high-grade pill formula."

"Thirty years old is the threshold. If you are older than that, you can only become a steward," Elder Qi said. "You have the Penglai Token, which is a great opportunity for you, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to reach that age."

"This disciple understands," Chen He nodded slightly. "May I ask, Elder, what is the Immortal Sect's attitude towards the Penglai Token? What are their thoughts?"

"You don't need to worry," Elder Qi said calmly. "The sect knows about Penglai Heaven, but there's no conclusion yet."

"Since you are cultivating the Five Elements Return to Origin Divine Scripture, you will naturally become a disciple of my Five Elders Peak in the future, so you don't need to worry about it."

"That's right," the old man shouted from the side, "Our Five Elders Peak is not Xuan Shuang Peak. Those women can't protect their disciples, but we can. No one dares to lay a hand on you."

"There's no need to say that, lest it cause misunderstanding," Elder Qi said. "Chen He, just stay in Fire Mountain and cultivate with peace of mind, and strive to advance to the inner sect as soon as possible."

"There's no need to mention our meeting today. This small gift is just a token of my appreciation; I hope it will be of some help to you."

After saying that, Elder Qi waved his hand and flicked out a jade pendant, which landed directly in Chen He's hand. He then turned around and disappeared with the old man.

Chen He grasped the jade pendant, and his magical power flowed into it automatically. Instantly, he realized that the jade pendant was the key to this room, and that this was the cave dwelling of Fire Mountain.
