Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

As Chen He walked out of the red maple forest, he had a yellow gourd in his hand and looked up to see Liu He.

"How did the talks go?" he asked.

"It's a temporary personal collaboration; we'll see how things go later," Chen He chuckled. "I won't give you any benefits; the Earth Fire Stones are enough."

Without Liu He bringing him here, he would have been completely clueless for a short time. Today's harvest was good, and he deserves his gratitude.

"Sure." Liu He beamed. "Save all the good refining materials for me in the future. I'm aiming to become a second-tier beginner refiner, and I'm short on good materials."

"Wouldn't it be a waste to give you the Earth Fire Stone?" Chen He raised an eyebrow.

"How could that be?" Liu He smiled smugly. "I've been waiting for my uncle to forge me a high-level magic weapon. What I'm missing is this kind of material. Once I gather it all, I'll have a complete set."

"I'm so envious," Chen He said.

"Once your cultivation level is high enough, I'll ask my uncle to help you gather the materials," Liu He said.

"That's loyal enough." Chen He nodded slightly. "When I advance to the second-tier alchemist, I'll also help you refine pills. You'll have to provide the materials yourself."

"Are you sure?" Liu He immediately realized what was going on and asked, "The second-tier pills you're using for the trade, you didn't refine them, did you?"

"I refined the Qi-Consolidating Pill," Chen He nodded slightly. "Next, as long as I refine the Qi-Gathering Pill and the Qi-Nourishing Pill, I can be certified as a second-tier beginner alchemist."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to progress so fast," Liu He exclaimed. "Looks like I can't be lazy either; I should try to break through to the second tier too."

He was genuinely surprised that Chen He, who only possessed a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements, was now able to break through to the second-tier beginner level of alchemy.

Is the Fire Spirit Technique really that powerful? He wanted to ask Chen He for advice in private, but he couldn't bring himself to ask; he simply didn't have the face to do so.

"Didn't we say before that we would go back and contact the cultivators to sell magical artifacts?" Chen He asked.

"Don't even mention it. My uncle forced me to watch the fire for him for half a month." Liu He shook his head. "I didn't even have time to do it. But don't worry, after what happened today, the news will spread and people will come knocking on our door."

Chen He nodded slightly, agreeing that this made sense, especially for the previous generation of disciples who had cultivated the outer sect for many years and had their own social circles.

Information from the Red Maple Forest Treasure Exchange Conference will definitely spread, and when that happens, disciples from Five Elements Mountain will naturally come to them.

This is much better than Liuhe contacting them alone.

The two chatted as they rode their celestial birds out of the Wood Mountain. The journey was very smooth, and they arrived at the Fire Mountain without any unexpected incidents.

The two said goodbye in the square. Chen He went straight back to his cave. The array and restrictions were intact, and no one broke in.

After entering the cave and activating all the formations, Chen He finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bed, playing with the yellow gourd.

This yellow gourd was a gift from Gong Huixin, who knew he wanted to refine spirit insects. It contained a gourd of red maple essence, enough for him to refine three times.

The aura of red maple leaves is extremely rare. According to Gong Huixin, it is a natural formation in the red maple forest, a special wood-attribute spiritual energy that was naturally born in the forest after being improved by a spiritual plant master.

The reason why it can be used to refine spirit insects but cannot be cultivated is essentially because the red maple aura contains a wisp of pure wood evil.

No one knows why there is a wood evil spirit, but the special nature of the red maple forest is widely known, and the energy of the red maple is also valuable.

Gong Huixin used her family connections and her own abilities to become the manager of the Red Maple Forest. Every year, she had to collect the essence of the red maples, hand over a fixed quota to the sect, and keep the rest for herself.

The gourd of red maple essence given to Chen He was quite rich and pure, having undergone secondary purification, making it even more beneficial for insect refining.

"No rush to train the insects, let's refine the pills first, and then prepare to go back to Four Symbols City." Chen He sighed softly, "The New Year is almost here, it's time to go back and visit."

He had been longing for home for a long time, but one thing after another came his way, and he could only deal with them one by one. Besides, he couldn't go home empty-handed.

After thinking for a while, Chen He flashed into Penglai Market, merged with his consciousness clone in the clouds, and began to select a foundation-building cultivation method.

He prepared Foundation Establishment Pills for his parents and sister, which would allow them to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in just over 120 days, enough for them in a mortal city.

My parents and sister don't have spiritual roots, but they have the strength to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. At least their future will be a little easier. Then we can let them cultivate Foundation Establishment techniques and learn the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique.

It will be easier to grow medicinal herbs at home in the future. Most importantly, Chen He wants to mark them with the Penglai mark.

After they pass away, their remnant souls will naturally return to Penglai Heaven through the mark, and Chen He will reshape their bodies and transform them into wandering immortals.

Ultimately, they will always be with you.

Instead of going to the Scripture Pavilion, Chen He used his authority to sift through foundation-building techniques in his mind.

There are too many foundation-building techniques, some practiced by independent cultivators and others with established lineages. With so many, it's hard to know where to begin.

Ultimately, considering that none of them had spiritual roots, the cultivation technique was not important, since the Foundation Establishment Pill would allow them to achieve the Great Success of Foundation Establishment anyway.

Chen He chose the foundation-building technique with the lowest threshold, no spiritual root requirements, and the most stable foundation-building method, which he called "Hunyuan Foundation Building Technique".

The text and illustrations cover the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs, with each layer containing fist techniques, breathing techniques, leg techniques, and basic spells.

After finishing that, Chen He selected some talisman items, including talisman bags, which were simplified versions of storage bags with enough space.

It's not that we can't afford to give them storage rings, but that we don't have the magic power to use them. Besides, they are all mortals, and having too many treasures isn't a good thing.

Chen He had prepared everything: pills, cultivation techniques, talismans, talismans, formations, and robes. After that, he contacted Liu He.

"That's exactly what I was looking for. Someone on Fire Mountain wants to trade resources with you," Liu He said into the jade tablet. "They want spirit stones."

"Let's talk about it when I get back from Four Symbols City. I need to go home," Chen He said. "I haven't been back since I started practicing Qi Refining and Meridian Opening. Do you want to come back with me?"

"I'll pass, I've already gone back," Liu He replied. "I'll talk to them first, you just need to prepare the spirit stones."

"Can."

After replying, Chen He rested for an hour before riding away on his celestial bird.

Flying again, the physical experience was completely different.

The gale couldn't move his magical robes; his internal magical power surged naturally, repelling the gale three feet away. Even though the celestial sparrow was fast, it couldn't confuse his vision.

The outer mountains, layer upon layer, are shrouded in clouds and mist, and bathed in rosy light, all protected by array formations, ensuring peace and tranquility.

Chen He locked his gaze on Green Ox Mountain, then swooped down on the celestial sparrow, descending directly from the sky and landing in Four Symbols City.

The Four Symbols City also has formations, but they cannot stop the celestial sparrow transformed from the jade tablet. Neither disciples of the immortal sect nor residents of the city can enter.

The city was brightly lit at this time, and it was past dinner time. Chen He first went to his original home, and after finding no one there, he used the jade tablet to locate his parents and sister.

The Chen family now owns clan land and clan fields, and even occupies an entire block. Hundreds of thousands of clan members gather here, and Chen He was recognized as soon as he appeared.

Everyone gathered around, welcoming him home with smiles on their faces. Chen He responded to them with a slightly indifferent attitude, and was then pulled into his own house by his father, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

"How impressive!" Chen He exclaimed as he entered the house. "It's so spacious, and has so many rooms!"

"It's all arranged by the City Lord's Mansion. After all, you're an outer disciple, so your treatment needs to be up to par," Old Man Chen explained to his son.

It's been five years since they moved, and life has been much better in these five years. His wife and children no longer need to work in the medicinal herb fields, and they've even been exempted from the medicinal herb field tax.

Previously, he worked as a medicinal herb farmer for Sixiang City, but now he has clan land and private land, making him much more well-off.
