Seven days to refine pills, five days to practice magic, eight days to master first-order weapon crafting, four days to master talisman crafting, and six days to be able to set up first-order formations.

Chen He spent a month in seclusion, which allowed him to further enhance his abilities and gain a deeper understanding of cultivation.

This efficiency is something other cultivators can only envy; he dares to say that even inner disciples can't match him.

After all, Chen He had the power to control the market, which boosted his comprehension.

In his blessed state, he believed himself to be omnipotent and that learning spiritual techniques was very easy, with no barriers whatsoever.

As he mastered more cultivation techniques, Chen He's thirteenth meridian was also opened, without him deliberately cultivating it.

It was naturally opened up when he used the power of the market to comprehend formations and talismans and refine first-tier talismanic artifacts.

When he practices these skills, his internal magical power is mobilized. In the cycle of consumption and recovery, his abundant magical power naturally cleanses his meridians, making breakthroughs a natural outcome.

Such cultivation efficiency is naturally not as good as focusing on cultivation techniques, but the benefits are also great. Chen He has a better understanding of his own meridians and a deeper understanding of the Five Elements Meridian Diagram.

Different exercises have different meridian diagrams. From opening the main meridian to opening the secondary meridian, from finding the hidden meridian to opening the branch meridian, there are different requirements and methods.

In the Qi Refining section of the Divine Canon, the Five Elements Meridian Diagram is undoubtedly of superior quality, but it also means that it is complex and consumes more resources.

This is also the difficulty of cultivating the "Divine Scripture". Complexity means power, but it also means that the threshold for cultivation is raised and the resource consumption is more fatal. Where do outer disciples get resources?

Chen He was different. He was willing to spend a lot of spirit stones for cultivation, just to take each step steadily and reach the ultimate.

Of course, he wasn't mindlessly throwing spirit stones at people; this was just the beginning. He was now using cultivation techniques to activate his cultivation method and open up his meridians, which also verified Chen He's idea.

Spiritual practice is everywhere. Practicing martial arts techniques is spiritual practice, as is practicing skills. The best way is to integrate spiritual practice into daily life.

Moreover, cultivation requires rhythm; one cannot keep smashing spirit stones indefinitely. The body must first adapt to this massive foundation.

After ending his seclusion, Chen He communicated with his consciousness clone to learn about the changes in Penglai City.

His cultivation level had not yet broken through, and the market still had three thousand people, but the trading was extremely brisk.

Whether they were menial laborers, Qi Refining cultivators, or Purple Mansion cultivators, most of them were engaging in transactions on behalf of the forces behind them.

Clearly, the forces in each region are not fools, and they have pieced together most of the information about Penglai Heaven.

Since we can't find a location, let's make use of Penglai Heaven and use this platform to trade and allow goods to circulate.

Most of the menial laborers and Qi-refining cultivators were reduced to mere tools, and they had Lady Red witness many large-scale transactions.

The market doesn't lose out; all transactions are taxed, and Madam Hong also charges a notary fee. The more transactions there are, the more spirit stones the market will receive.

Only some cultivators at the Purple Mansion level, or those at the seventh level of Qi Refining, were cautious enough not to reveal that they possessed the Penglai Token.

They kept a low profile in the market and did not associate with other cultivators. They focused on their own cultivation and prepared a small amount of resources for trading. They also received the least attention.

After confirming that he had over 100,000 spirit stones in his warehouse, Chen He left the market with satisfaction and reappeared in his cave.

The cave's formations and restrictions were intact. Chen He breathed a sigh of relief, stretched, and lay down on the bed.

He took out the jade tablet, which had many messages on it, including those from Gong Huixin, Liu He, and other immortal talents from the same year in Sixiang City.

The most recent instance was three days ago when Liu He asked if he had finished his seclusion, but Chen He glanced at it and ignored him.

A month-long seclusion, coupled with the use of his authority over the market, had taken a heavy toll on his mental and physical well-being, and he simply lay down and fell asleep.

Three days later, Chen He woke up.

After getting out of bed, he practiced boxing in the spacious room. After three rounds of boxing, he felt full of energy and in excellent condition.

He used his cloud-gathering and rain-making technique to condense a cloud, took off his clothes, stood under the cloud, and took a bath with the rainwater.

What's even better is that the density of the rain can be controlled, and the rain falling like from a sprinkler is very comfortable. Chen He even used magic to control the temperature, turning cold water into hot water.

If other cultivators saw this extravagant scene, they would be astonished, as no cultivator would expend so much of their magical power.

For cultivators, magical power is precious and will be used at crucial moments; they would never squander it so recklessly.

Only Chen He possesses abundant magical power, allowing him to act as he pleases. Moreover, the magical power he expends through casting spells does not require any medicine, as it naturally recovers.

After taking a hot shower, Chen He used magic to dry her hair, put on magical artifact-grade underwear, and spent some time getting ready.

What he couldn't stand the most was his long hair. Luckily, he had magic, otherwise he would have liked to shave his head, at least it would be cooler.

Using her magic, she conjured a water mirror out of thin air. Looking at the handsome man in the mirror, Chen He nodded slightly. As expected of the great sect leader, it was another day of being awakened by his good looks.

After carefully grooming her eyebrows and using her magic to remove the downy hair from her mouth, Chen He waved her sleeve, the array opened, and she vanished.

With a clear goal in mind, he went directly to the alchemy hall halfway up the mountain, found the alchemist he had met before, and certified himself as a second-level beginner alchemist.

I thought it would be simple, but I didn't expect the Alchemy Hall to value second-level alchemists so much that they specially invited the deputy deacon to witness it.

There is a Purple Mansion Realm deacon in Fire Mountain who is rarely seen, and a deputy deacon from the Refining Hall who is Liu He's uncle.

Another deputy deacon was a second-tier advanced alchemist from the Alchemy Hall named Jia Guirong, a cold-faced, middle-aged fat man.

He didn't say a word the whole time, just stood at the door of the alchemy room, waiting with the alchemy hall's examiners for Chen He to finish alchemy.

To become a certified Tier 2 beginner alchemist, Chen He needs to refine three types of Tier 2 beginner pills, which can be freely combined without any restrictions.

Chen He did not refine the Qi-Consolidating Pill, but instead refined the Qi-Nourishing Pill, the Qi-Nourishing Pill, and the Meridian-Protecting Pill, each of which had three portions of medicinal materials.

As long as a batch of medicine is successfully refined using three portions and the quality meets the required standards, it is considered passed. This is simple for Chen He.

However, he still concealed his true abilities and did not use the White Jade Red Warm Method, but instead used conventional alchemy techniques, producing twelve pills in one batch.

Two excellent quality grains, nearly flawless.

Seven high-quality pills, three qualified pills.

All three types of pills were the same, and without a doubt, Chen He naturally received certification from the Alchemy Hall and became a second-tier beginner alchemist.

Jia Guirong, the deputy deacon of the Alchemy Hall, used his jade tablet to grant Chen He the privileges of a second-tier beginner alchemist.

Chen He looked at his jade tablet again. Not only did it have the unique mark of a second-level alchemist, but he had also obtained alchemist privileges in Five Elements Mountain.

They naturally joined the alchemist group of Five Elements Mountain, all of them being second-level alchemists, including thirty-two second-level beginner alchemists and seven second-level intermediate alchemists.

As for the second-tier advanced alchemists, besides the deputy deacon Jia Guirong, there was also a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator named Ma Wanli.

In addition to these, Chen He can also take orders to refine pills. The sect will issue special pill refining tasks, and the refining of second-tier primary pills will be handed over to second-tier primary pill refiners.

This is something that must be refined, and there are time and quantity restrictions. The rewards are also very generous, but it is a resource that is distributed among different types of alchemists, and second-tier beginner alchemists rarely receive it.

These are no secrets; once you enter this circle, they will be automatically shared. There are no secrets; everyone is from the same school and the same background.

If one alchemist is humiliated, all alchemists from the same mountain will also be humiliated. It can be said that the camp is united, sharing honor and disgrace, and naturally facing external threats.

After reading it, Chen He was very satisfied with the atmosphere and environment. Most importantly, his authority had been upgraded, allowing him to exchange for more medicinal herbs, and even pill formulas and alchemy furnaces.

Without such authority, he would have to apply for and receive precious second-tier spiritual herbs before he could exchange them. Now, he only needs merit points.

Especially some alchemy furnaces and magical artifacts, and even the source of fire, were options that the Jade Tablet was never qualified to see in the past.

Only now is it completely open to him; that's the benefit of having access.
