Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

The core of Fire Mountain is a spiritual fire from the earth's veins, which is sealed with an array to guide the flames into the cave. The closer the flames are, the stronger their power becomes.

The jade pendant given by Elder Qi is the key to this cave. After refining it, one can freely enter and exit, and also use the earth's spiritual fire to refine pills.

This cave dwelling is located above the earth vein spirit fire, and it is the most top-tier cave dwelling on Fire Spirit Mountain. Other disciples are not qualified to live here.

Because the most prestigious cave dwellings all require approval from the Five Elders Peak, and even with merit points, they cannot be rented.

After Chen He refined the jade pendant, the entire cave dwelling belonged to him. He could use it for free without paying rent, and it came with its own array restrictions.

The key point is that this is not an ordinary cave dwelling. This is a top-tier cave dwelling. Being able to live in it means that you are being noticed by the Five Elders Peak, and you will most likely be able to successfully advance to the inner sect and enter the Five Elders Peak in the future.

"It's a good thing, but also a bad thing!" After refining the jade pendant, Chen He wandered around the cave, but he wasn't as happy as he had imagined.

Because he moved into a top-tier cave dwelling, he immediately attracted the attention of all the cultivators in Fire Mountain, which meant his future was destined to be troublesome.

After all, he only has a pseudo-spiritual root of the five elements, and his strength is only at the Qi Refining and Meridian Opening stage. He will inevitably be questioned, and even if he doesn't go out, trouble will come his way.

Perhaps this was a test deliberately set by Elder Qi, placing him in the most prominent position to see if he could persevere.

Thinking of this, Chen He suddenly laughed out loud. Although it didn't suit his wishes, he was determined to stay in the Immortal Sect, collect resources through the market, and slowly improve his cultivation.

But now that he had refined the key, he had to accept Elder Qi's kindness and naturally couldn't give up the cave dwelling. He could only make preparations.

Without lingering in the cave, Chen He left directly and headed to the summit of Fire Mountain to register at the affairs hall.

There weren't many people in the office; they were all in a hurry, checking their tasks at the counter, accepting them, and leaving without whispering to each other.

Chen He was a new face. After arriving at the counter and showing his jade tablet, a senior brother with higher cultivation immediately came to greet him.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen He used his jade tablet to register, and the outer sect's Five Elements Mountain and Fire Element Mountain sections appeared inside the jade tablet.

In the future, you can accept missions directly in the Jade Tablet, or you can come to the Affairs Hall to wait for new missions and be the first to accept good missions.

According to his senior brother, Chen He needs to be certified as an alchemist before he can accept alchemy tasks.

Every outer disciple cultivating on Fire Mountain needs to accept missions, mainly alchemy and weapon crafting missions.

It's worth mentioning that disciples from the other four mountains can also accept these tasks, as they are all members of the Five Elements Mountain and there is no distinction between them, so there is a lot of competition for these tasks.

After understanding the situation, Chen He left the office and went to the mountainside of Fire Mountain, near the cave where Gangfeng was located, to undergo alchemist certification.

The standard for outer sect disciples to be certified as alchemists is not high. There are three levels of first-level alchemists: apprentice, formal, and senior.

The apprentice level refers to someone who has just learned alchemy and can refine fasting pills and some simplified first-tier pill formulas. This level does not require certification.

A formal-level alchemist is someone who can refine at least three types of first-tier pills, and whose pills meet the required quality standards, thus being certified as a first-tier alchemist.

A senior first-tier alchemist can refine all first-tier pills with a success rate of over 90% and pills of qualified quality or above.

Chen He conducted the certification of a senior first-level alchemist, refining pills for all first-level alchemists, and all of them were of flawless quality.

This move, while not exactly breathtaking, certainly drew attention, mainly because it showcased his Qi Refining and Meridian Opening cultivation, and he appeared quite young.

As expected, Chen He successfully obtained certification as a first-level senior alchemist, began accepting alchemy tasks, and returned to his cave to refine pills.

After entering the cave, Chen He activated the cave's formation with a wave of his hand, and then went to the alchemy room, where he took out the alchemy furnace.

He used the array to control the flames and heat the alchemy furnace before taking out the raw materials for alchemy.

All these raw materials are stored in the Jade Tablet. After accepting the mission, they are directly delivered to the Jade Tablet space, without the need for purchase.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen He decided not to reveal the White Jade Crimson Sun Alchemy Method anymore, but instead to use the common alchemy method to refine pills.

He's already getting a lot of attention, so there's really no need for him to stand out too much. He should just stay quietly in Fire Mountain.

Chen He is twenty years old this year. He wants to cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining before he turns thirty, which is impossible for any pseudo-spiritual root cultivator.

But he was confident in himself, or rather, he was confident in Penglai Heaven. Three thousand cultivators traded in Penglai Heaven, bringing with them a large amount of resources.

Even if he only has 100,000 spirit stones a month, he will have 1.2 million a year, and 12 million in ten years.

This doesn't even include the spirit stones he earns from refining and selling pills, or the transaction tax collected from the market each year; it's more than enough for his cultivation.

While the Five Elements Return to Origin Divine Scripture emphasizes the foundation and consumes a lot of spirit stones, it focuses more on the quality of one's own magical power, whether it is opening the meridians or refining the apertures.

The stronger the quality of one's magical power, the easier it is to open the meridians and refine the acupoints. Just like Chen He, whose magical power naturally overflowed when he reached the first level of Qi Refining.

After advancing to the Qi Refining and Meridian Opening stage, all twelve meridians will naturally be opened.

This is impossible for other cultivators, even the disciples of the Five Elders Peak.

It was precisely because Chen He cultivated ten layers of Qi vortex when he reached the first level of Qi Refining, thus reaching the limit of his cultivation technique, that he was valued by the Five Elders Peak.

He made the right move in laying a solid foundation, which is crucial for his subsequent cultivation. He was only grateful and never regretted it.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Chen He calmed himself down and began refining pills with a composed expression.

He learned about the properties of earth fire by baking the alchemy furnace, and controlled the size of the flames through array formations. After becoming familiar with it, he used ordinary methods to refine pills, and the first-tier pills he refined were all of excellent quality.

However, it does not reach the level of flawless quality.

Chen He didn't mind; this was a pill refining task, and the White Jade Crimson Sun Pill Refining Method wasn't required.

Even the finest first-tier pills he just refined are unmatched by other first-tier alchemists, not to mention his high success rate.

One batch can produce more than a dozen pills, most of which are of the highest quality, as he has maximized the medicinal properties of the herbs.

One batch after another was successfully refined, and Chen He became increasingly skilled at controlling the earth fire, gaining more and more experience in refining first-order pills.

Even his ordinary alchemy techniques surpassed those of a first-tier alchemist. Combined with the White Jade Crimson Sun Technique, he gradually developed his own understanding.

After deducting the number of pills handed over, Chen He had quite a few pills left for himself. He discovered that not only could he make a profit from completing the pill refining task, but he could even make more.

These first-tier pills can be sold in the market, which can help him earn spirit stones. More importantly, he also completed the pill refining task and earned merit points, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

That's perfect! This is what you call a win-win situation!

He suddenly found motivation and, after three days of seclusion and completing all the alchemy tasks, directly handed over the pills using the jade tablet.

The merit points were settled and distributed immediately, but Chen He didn't touch them. He continued to accept alchemy tasks and buried himself in alchemy.

The requirements for the alchemy task are: one set of medicinal materials that meets the requirements of a first-tier pill recipe, refine one batch of pills into a minimum of nine pills, submit nine first-tier pills, and keep the extras for yourself.

It depends on the alchemist's skill. Generally, a senior alchemist can keep one pill, and a skilled one can occasionally keep two, which means eleven pills in total, which is already very impressive.

But Chen He is not only a senior first-level alchemist. He has refined more than 400,000 Foundation Establishment Pills. Refining first-level pills, even with ordinary techniques, is a piece of cake for him.

The minimum is thirteen, and the maximum is as many as eighteen. On average, one batch can produce fifteen.

Handing over nine pills and keeping six for himself—Chen He would never refuse such a freebie-making opportunity, so he naturally seized the chance to refine pills.
