Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

The red maple forest was silent, with only the monks preaching and no outsiders disturbing them.

As time went on, the discussions among the people gradually intensified, with some fighting over magical techniques and others debating their insights into cultivation methods.

It wasn't just one cultivator giving a talk; everyone participated, and it was Gong Huixin who led the way, making the discussion fascinating.

Chen He was completely captivated and mesmerized. He took the initiative to communicate with his consciousness clone, using the clone to invoke the power of the marketplace.

It was as if he had a cheat code, remembering and digesting everything everyone said, and even his consciousness clone automatically transmitted relevant spells.

A discussion on the Dao allowed Chen He to once again appreciate the wonders of cultivation. Each cultivator's insights were like another perspective, broadening his horizons and allowing him to absorb more profound knowledge.

No one else could do what he did so thoroughly. He had all the first and second level spells of the Scripture Pavilion in his mind, but he hadn't digested them yet.

Now, with the help of discussions and a little guidance, he gained insight, and then applied this knowledge to other areas, using his conscious mind to achieve a comprehensive understanding.

After this discussion, Chen He had a very solid foundation in the knowledge of magic, and even developed his own insights.

In the end, even Liu He shared his insights on identifying materials and refining weapons. After listening, Chen He felt that the trip was worthwhile and had a sense of satisfaction.

Finally, it was his turn to speak.

As everyone looked over with probing eyes, Chen He remained completely calm. With a wave of his hand, a fiery serpent flew out, swirling in the air and transforming into a lotus flower.

Flames burn, lotus shape forms!

This fire technique was even more beautiful and stunning than what the previous cultivators had demonstrated.

"Fire Spirit Spell!!!"

Gong Huixin stood up, looking at Chen He with a shocked expression. "I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Chen's understanding of the Divine Scripture was so profound that he has actually mastered the Fire Spirit Technique."

"I'm ashamed," Chen He smiled, flicking his fingers to make the fire lotus spin in the air, "I gained some small insights and luckily mastered the fire spirit technique, which is why I embarked on the path of alchemy."

Before this, he couldn't use it so freely, but now that his understanding is deeper, it's much easier to do so.

This is also related to his completion of the Five Elements Technique. With the complete Five Elements Technique, his control over magic power is more subtle and perfect.

"With such wondrous fire control techniques, it would be a waste not to refine pills." Gong Huixin took a deep breath. "Fellow Daoist Chen He is truly talented!"

She had specifically studied the "Five Elements Return to Origin Divine Scripture" and knew how difficult the Five Elements Spirit Communication Technique was to master, as well as how great the benefits of mastering it were. She no longer had any doubts about Chen He.

The five elements pseudo-spiritual root is nothing. With Chen He's mastery of the fire spirit technique, there is no doubt that he will advance to the Purple Mansion Realm in this lifetime.

As for the higher Dan realm, Gong Huixin herself was not confident, but she had some confidence in Chen He because of Penglai Heaven.

Chen He didn't exchange many pleasantries with Gong Huixin. While demonstrating fire magic, he explained his insights into fire magic in a very thorough manner, so even Liu He listened attentively.

Liu He focuses on the path of metal and fire refining, which is inseparable from fire techniques. However, his fire techniques are very rigid and cannot be as agile as Chen He's, nor can he control them as freely.

Fortunately, he didn't dwell on Chen He's excellence, but instead carefully considered how to compensate for his own shortcomings in fire magic by comparing it with the Fire Spirit Technique.

After making a gain, Liu He couldn't help but smile. That's how cultivators are; even the smallest progress is worth celebrating.

The path of spiritual practice is fraught with thorns, and to gain something from it is an immense blessing.

After Chen He finished speaking, the burning lotus had long since disappeared, and everyone still had a hint of regret in their eyes, wishing they could hear more.

But Chen He had already been very kind, and the Fire Spirit Technique is a growth-type spell, not something that can be understood simply by saying a few words or practicing a few times.

Even on Five Elders Peak, only a few people master the Fire Spirit Technique, so a senior like Old Man Dian naturally doesn't count.

After Chen He finished speaking, Gong Huixin gave a final speech, thus concluding the gathering. The cultivators did not linger.

They all said their goodbyes and left. Before leaving, they all exchanged pleasantries with Chen He and agreed to meet again when they had the chance.

Chen He agreed to each one, and looking back, five days had actually passed. He hadn't felt the passage of time at all, and felt a little regretful.

Such discussions are far more vivid than one's own cultivation. Indeed, resources, methods, companions, and environment are indispensable for cultivators.

Just as Chen He was about to take his leave, Gong Huixin stopped him. Seeing this, Liu He smiled and left first.

"Senior Sister Gong, is something the matter?" Only Chen He and Gong Huixin remained at the scene, and the red maple forest was eerily desolate. Chen He didn't want to stay any longer.

"Two things," Gong Huixin said earnestly, looking at him. "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen is open to a marriage alliance? There are eligible women in your family. If you are not satisfied, there are also female cultivators with the surname Gong in the outer sect. If you are interested, they can be betrothed to you."

"What's wrong, Senior Sister Gong?" Chen He raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised that Gong Huixin would be so direct, but she didn't feel disgusted.

Arranged marriages are common in Four Symbols City and the outer sect, but they are rarely considered for those with five elemental pseudo-spiritual roots, let alone those with four mixed spiritual roots.

Gong Huixin's directness and frankness not only showed respect for Chen He but also indicated that she valued him highly. An ordinary outer disciple would have been overjoyed.

The Gong family is no weakling; their influence and connections within the outer sect are considerable.

"I have high hopes for you, not only because of Penglai Heaven, but also because you have mastered the Fire Spirit Technique," Gong Huixin said.

"I see," Chen He nodded, then shook her head. "Please forgive me for declining your offer, Junior Brother. I have no such plans for the time being and only want to seize the opportunity to cultivate."

"You want to enter the inner sect?" Gong Huixin asked thoughtfully. "I heard Liu He mention it before. You were assigned to the top-tier cave in Fire Mountain. It seems that the Five Elders Peak is paying attention to you. I was presumptuous."

"I have indeed had contact with the Five Elders Peak, so I still need to work hard, otherwise I will waste this opportunity." Chen He did not deny it.

Even the outer disciples in the immortal sects are all shrewd and capable. The knowledge gained from the Jade Tablet Initiation is enough to make them transcend naivety and simplicity.

"In that case, pretend I didn't say anything before," Gong Huixin smiled. "The second thing is the transaction. I don't think that will be difficult. I want to cooperate with you."

"Sure," Chen He nodded slightly. "Even if Senior Sister doesn't say it, I'll find an opportunity to bring it up. If I want to stay in Penglai Heaven for a long time, a transaction is inevitable."

"Okay." Gong Huixin liked his honesty. "My request isn't high. Just help me exchange the spiritual herbs and plants for spirit stones. If you need formations, talismans, beast taming, magic artifacts, etc., I'll let you know in advance, how about that?"

"If that's all, then I'll disappoint you, Junior Brother." Chen He shook her head. "I've set up a private stall in Penglai Heaven, where I can sell my wares myself. But I want more than that. Senior Sister, you should understand."

"Your ambitions are quite high," Gong Huixin naturally understood what he meant. He valued the Gong family and her connections in the outer sect. "Let's cooperate first, step by step. If you satisfy me, we can deepen our cooperation later."

"Alright." Chen He frowned. "Can we make the deal now?"

"How many spirit stones do you have?" Gong Huixin asked, reaching to her waist. Various boxes flew out and floated in front of Chen He. "There are thirteen kinds of spirit herbs and eight kinds of spirit plants here, all of them mature products, and there are plenty in stock. Let's estimate the price first."

"Exchange them all for spirit stones?" Chen He raised an eyebrow and asked. "That's no small amount."

"If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can reduce the amount," Gong Huixin said with a hint of disappointment. "Take your time, there's no rush."

Chen He nodded and took out spirit stones to buy two-thirds of the spirit herbs and plants.

In fact, this transaction was nothing to him; such a transaction could mobilize the market's inventory of spirit stones rather than his personal spirit stones.

But he had to conceal his true abilities.

The person setting up the stall couldn't possibly have that many spirit stones, even if he were an alchemist.

After all, he had only been a disciple for five years, and the Penglai Token had only been around for a short time.

Better safe than sorry!
