Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

When Liu He came out of the pass again and came to visit, Chen He was feeding the fish.

He redesigned the cave dwelling, adding an alchemy room, a cultivation room, a reception room, a rest room, a meditation room, a planting room, and a breeding room.

A pond was dug in the breeding room, and more than a dozen white carp swam in it. When fish food was dropped, they scrambled for it.

"Are these white-scaled koi?" Liu He asked curiously, looking at the fish in the pond. "Can they be kept alive?"

"Yes, that's fine," Chen He said with a smile. "There's a spiritual fire beneath the cave, and the array controls the temperature, which meets the needs of the white-scaled koi."

"You really have some skills," Liu He said enviously. "The white phosphorus koi is a second-tier spirit fish, a top-grade spirit food ingredient."

"Not only white-scaled koi, but I also planted three-tenths of an acre of red flame grass and sunflowers in the indoor garden," Chen He said proudly.

Crimson Flame Grass is a second-tier spiritual plant, and Sunflower is a second-tier spiritual herb. Both have requirements for the soil, and they especially need fire-attribute spiritual land.

He personally used the Five Elements Deactivation Technique to transform the soil in the planting room, controlled the temperature with an array, and crushed spirit stones to sprinkle on the ground to increase the soil's spiritual energy content.

Then, using the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, spiritual water was sent down to repeatedly transform the spiritual field, and then the residual heat of the earth's spiritual fire was carefully activated.

After baking for seven days, he was finally ready and planted the Crimson Flame Grass and Sunflower, which have now all survived.

Liu He wandered around the planting room in disbelief. When he came out, his face was expressionless, but he was full of admiration.

"I didn't expect you to have mastered the spells of a spirit plant master," Liu He said with admiration. "Even if you do nothing, you can still cultivate by relying on the white phosphorus koi and spirit herbs and plants."

These resources can be quickly converted into cash in Chen He's hands. As long as he can maintain this, there will be a continuous supply of spirit stones in the future.

He could refine pills, grow spiritual herbs, and raise spiritual fish. Chen He made the most of the limited space in his cave, which impressed him greatly.

The key is that he succeeded. You know, many people have similar ideas, but they only think about them and can't actually do them, like him.

"Your cave dwelling is now lacking a few servants," Liu He said. "The planting room and the breeding room both need someone to take care of them, otherwise you won't survive a single period of seclusion."

"There's no rush," Chen He shook his head slightly and continued, "It's almost the end of the month, and we need to find someone to trade with."

"Don't worry, I've already screened a group of people," Liu He chuckled. "And didn't you ask me last time if I knew Sword Madman? Well, there happens to be one this time."

"Oh?" Chen He's interest was piqued. "Which mountain's cultivators are they from?"

"The cultivators from our Five Elements Mountain, specifically the Metal Element Mountain," Liu He said, "should I contact them now? They have a lot of resources to exchange."

"Okay." Chen He nodded.

The two left the breeding room together and came to the waiting room. Liu He held the jade tablet and contacted the sword cultivators of Jinxing Mountain.

A moment later, a sword light descended from the sky and appeared outside Chen He's cave. The array restrictions were opened, and Chen He and Liu He went out to greet it.

To Chen He's surprise, this was actually a sword fairy, wearing a white robe with green patterns typical of outer disciples, with her hands empty and very few ornaments on her body.

The key is that he is tall with long arms and hands, and has an excellent figure. He exudes an incongruous wildness and ferocity.

"This is Pei Yu, Fairy Pei," Liu He hurriedly introduced, "a sword fairy at the sixth level of Qi Refining in Jinxing Mountain, renowned far and wide."

"No need for such euphemisms. My reputation for madness, Pei Yu, needs no concealment," Pei Fairy said calmly, her gaze fixed on Chen He. "You're the lucky one?"

"Indeed," Chen He smiled, "Please, Fairy Pei, step into the cave to speak."

Pei Yu nodded and stepped inside. The three of them sat down in the living room, where Chen Hechong brewed some cloud and mist tea.

Just as Chen He was about to speak, he saw Fairy Pei drink her tea heartily without any hesitation or affectation. The cold mist had no effect on her.

……

After finishing her Cloud Mist Tea, Fairy Pei nodded, praising it as excellent, then looked at Chen He and asked, "I heard you offended Gong Huixin?"

"Huh? Who's spreading rumors about me?" Chen He asked in surprise. "I even completed a deal with Senior Sister Gong. I just rejected her marriage proposal. I didn't offend her, did I?"

"Isn't this considered offending them?" Pei Yu sneered. "Family cultivators are all so petty, saying nice things but meaningless. You were right to refuse. What is the little Gong family anyway?"

"Junior Brother Chen rejected Senior Sister Gong's advances twice," Liu He said with a wry smile. "Even if he didn't offend her, he still lost face, and I'm afraid he won't be able to attend the Red Maple Gathering."

"I'm merely refusing the arranged marriage," Chen He said helplessly. "If that's considered offending, then so be it. Does someone with a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements like me not even have the right to refuse?"

"It's not that you don't have the right to refuse, but that she wants to subdue you," Pei Yu said calmly. "You have the Penglai Token and the Five Elders Peak's permission to live in a top-tier cave dwelling. You are of great value. If she can't subdue you, she will naturally suppress you."

"What news did Senior Sister Pei hear?" Liu He asked hurriedly.

"It's just to tell the Red Maple Society members not to associate with or do business with Junior Brother Chen," Pei Yu said, waving his hand. "Enough with the small talk. If this deal satisfies me, I can protect Junior Brother Chen and help him resolve any trouble he may encounter. What do you say?"

"Alright," Chen He pondered for a moment before asking, "What does Senior Sister want? Some rare items, which will take time to arrive."

"I want sword techniques from outside the Southern Region, whether they are first-tier or second-tier, I want them all."

Pei Yu's eyes gleamed with a hint of fanaticism, "I also need the tinder, materials for sword training, sword formations..."

Chen He stared at her with wide eyes, then looked at Liu He, both amused and exasperated. "Senior Sister Pei, I'm not a wishing tree that can give you whatever you want. You can't just make empty promises..."

Whoosh!

A large amount of ore, magical artifacts, and boxes of elixirs were all thrown out by Fairy Pei with a wave of her hand, piling up into a small mountain.

"I certainly won't put my junior brother in a difficult position. Is this enough?" Fairy Pei said. "I don't need it all at once. Please ask my junior brother to go to Penglai Heaven to help me collect more."

"If that's the case, then it's simple." Chen He raised an eyebrow. "Let me first appraise them and estimate the price of the spirit stones."

"Please go ahead." Fairy Pei nodded.

Chen He pointed his finger, and everything on the ground floated up. He first looked at the ore, which was all things that Fairy Pei could not use.

With Liu He by her side, the appraisal went very smoothly. He could recognize the names and estimate the prices at a glance, and Chen He quoted the prices himself.

The ritual implements included weapons, clothing, and accessories, each with a different style and some bloodstains, indicating they were spoils of war.

There were quite a few boxes of elixirs, most of which were second-tier, with only a handful being first-tier, and they were quite valuable.

With just a rough estimate, Chen He knew that these resources amounted to more than two million spirit stones.

Chen He and Fairy Pei had agreed that sword technique manuals would be their first priority, followed by sword formations, fire seeds, and suitable materials for sword practice, even if they didn't have them in the short term.

Everything was automatically discounted with spirit stones, ensuring that Chen He would never be put in a difficult position.

Chen He naturally wouldn't refuse. He immediately took out a blank jade slip and infused it with seventeen first-order sword techniques from other regions.

Then, he was instilled with three second-tier sword techniques, which alone cost more than half of the spirit stones, because second-tier sword techniques are very valuable.

Pei Yu didn't care about the loss of spirit stones. After obtaining the sword technique, she immediately studied it to verify that it was something she hadn't mastered. She happily reached out and patted Chen He on the shoulder.

After drinking another cup of Cloud Mist Tea and adding Yu Gui as a friend on WeChat with Chen He, Fairy Pei left the cave in a hurry, as if fleeing a disaster.
