Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

The scene of the old man extinguishing the fire snake with his bare hands left a deep impression on Chen He.

Now that he knew that he was an elder of the Fire Vein of the Five Elders Peak, Chen He was not surprised.

Huo Mai is an expert in playing with fire, and fire spirit techniques are nothing new to the old madman.

"What else does the Lingxiao Immortal Sect have?" Chen He asked with interest.

"Based on the intelligence we've gathered so far, most of it is limited to the outer and inner sects," Madam Hong said with difficulty. "Most of the intelligence is either unverifiable or just rumors."

"The market ceiling is too low," Chen He nodded slightly, not surprised. He closed the booklet. "Well done, here's a commendation."

"Thank you, Master." Madam Hong smiled and continued to massage his shoulders.

Chen He set up reward and punishment rules for the independent cultivators; those who performed well would be rewarded.

The wandering immortals do not need to cultivate themselves, so they have no need for resources.

Chen He established a points system, which allows the wandering immortals to use their points to make purchases in the building.

It can be used to savor spiritual food, watch dances and listen to celestial music, or even for shopping.

The magical artifacts on Lady Red were purchased with her own points.

The market and warehouses were also divided into sections.

A separate points warehouse has been set up, open to all casual immortals, who can purchase items from the warehouse.

This is not a burden for the market. Since there are few scattered immortals, the demand for the materials they need to purchase is not high, which can actually stimulate their motivation.

……

After dealing with the matters in the market, Chen He sent Madam Hong away.

He used his power to seal off the entire top floor of Jianbaoju.

Chen He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate, mobilizing his internal energy to open up his meridians, without even using a meridian-protecting pill.

He had a solid foundation and had tempered his body inside and out during the Foundation Establishment stage, so he didn't need to be careful when opening up his meridians.

Despite this, he consumed a lot of magical power during his cultivation, and his progress was not significant.

Chen He communicated with the sword bamboo worm in his dantian, using the sword energy of the sword bamboo worm to gradually activate his magic power and open up his meridians.

It has an effect, but the sword energy of the sword bamboo worm is not long-lasting and is a burden for it.

Chen He simply recalled his consciousness clone, used the power of the marketplace to stabilize his physical body, and then mobilized all his magical power to attack his meridians.

During the process of opening up his meridians, Chen He was surprised to discover that...

Although the power of authority cannot directly open up the meridians, it can completely control magical power.

So he used the power of the marketplace to make the magic within his body circulate.

It transformed into a drill and began to clear the meridians. Unexpectedly, it succeeded immediately, with the progress increasing tenfold or even a hundredfold.

In just four hours, Chen He opened up his fourteenth and fifteenth meridians, all of which were main meridians. After opening them up, he did not continue, but took a slight breath.

The main problem is that the mana consumption is quite high, and it needs to be recovered quickly. Otherwise, too much mana consumption in the dantian will cause instability in the dantian.

In addition, the two meridians that have been opened need to be nurtured with magical power, which also requires patience and is subject to the requirements of magical power.

……

"Indeed, my choice was correct; I should have used my own magical power to connect it."

"It is impossible to achieve such perfection with the help of external forces. When the magic power is flowing through, it can also nourish and expand the meridians."

Chen He finished his cultivation, a slight smile playing on his lips, in a very good mood.

For an ordinary cultivator to open their meridians,

You need to take a meridian-protecting pill to prevent damage to your meridians.

You need to take Qi-Condensing Pills to purify your magical power so that your meridians can be opened more easily.

It may even require the help of formations or elixirs to open up the meridians.

Chen He was different; he relied entirely on his own magical power to slowly drill a hole, and then continuously expand and enlarge it.

The advantage of this is that Chen He's control over his magical power has reached a new level, and his internal meridians can expand without damage and become more resilient.

Having tasted success, Chen He remained secluded in the market for the next few days.

He began to open the main meridians according to the Five Elements Meridian Diagram in the Divine Canon.

The Five Elements Meridian Chart contains 45 main meridians, 64 secondary meridians, and 108 hidden meridians.

Once you open up a main meridian, you can follow it to clear the secondary meridians and find the hidden meridians.

After opening up fifteen main meridians, Chen He immediately used his magic to unblock the secondary and hidden meridians. As the number of meridians opened increased, the amount of magic he could mobilize also increased.

Previously, his magical power was stored in his dantian, and his efficiency in mobilizing it was actually not high. This time, with his meridians opened, he can mobilize more magical power.

This is just one benefit. The more meridians are opened, the more his strength increases, and his cultivation level naturally rises. He needs to experience this carefully.

……

Twenty-one days have passed since I left the border again, and the end of the month is fast approaching.

Chen He appeared in the cave, holding a jade tablet in his hand, his aura much stronger than before he went into seclusion.

"Twenty-five main veins, tsk tsk." Chen He walked out of the quiet room, in a great mood.

During this seclusion, he made significant progress, opening up his twenty-fifth main meridian, as well as many secondary, hidden, and branch meridians.

The practice of refining Qi and opening the meridians requires opening the necessary meridians according to the cultivation method; meridians not specified in the method do not need to be opened.

However, Chen He possessed abundant magical power, and the more meridians he opened, the easier it was to mobilize them. Naturally, Chen He wanted to open them, and the key was that it didn't consume any spirit stones.

Relying entirely on his own magical power is inconceivable for any other cultivator.

Even among cultivators who practice the Divine Scripture, it would be difficult to have such abundant magical power to support them.

Having learned from this experience, Chen He became more determined to take each step steadily and to hone every skill to perfection.

The Foundation Establishment stage transforms the physical body, granting it golden skin, iron bones, and jade-like meridians. The first level of Qi Refining is filled with overflowing magical power, reaching the limit of the dantian.

Only by combining the two can one easily achieve the second level of Qi Refining and Meridian Opening. The immense magical power is inexhaustible, which allows for such rapid progress.

Taking a deep breath, Chen He relaxed and went to the breeding room, where he saw the somewhat listless white-scaled koi.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly fed the carp. The white-scaled koi rushed over and devoured the food like madmen, creating huge splashes in the water.

After finishing, he jogged to the planting room. Seeing the equally wilted Crimson Flame Grass and Sunflower, he immediately used his Cloud Gathering and Rain Transformation Technique.

The clouds and mist quickly gathered, covering the entire planting room. Then, spiritual raindrops fell, nourishing the spiritual field. The Crimson Flame Grass and Sunflower were reborn and their condition immediately recovered.

Seeing this, Chen He was finally relieved.

"Fortunately, a control formation was set up, which allows us to maintain our vitality for a short period of time."

"The key to the earth's spiritual fire lies underground, creating an environment perfectly suited for Crimson Flame Grass and Sunflower; otherwise, they would have been gone long ago."

"Second-tier spiritual herbs and plants are very delicate, and the white-scaled koi is no exception."

"It seems we need to find two helpers, otherwise one person is bound to make mistakes."

"Or should we just demolish the planting and breeding rooms?"

Chen He frowned slightly, weighing the options in his mind, and decided that he preferred to find two helpers.

In fact, it is quite normal for outer disciples to hire servants, and it is also a way for servants to find employment, which is better than staying on the servants' peak.

However, Chen He had some concerns.

After all, he needs to enter the market at any time, and he cannot be disturbed when he is cultivating, refining pills, or organizing resources.

"Is it worth it for such limited resources?" Chen He sighed inwardly, glancing at the planting room and the white-scaled koi in the water, before finally shaking his head.

He held the jade tablet in his hand and read the message.

Few fellow cultivators wanted to trade; at least 70% of the cultivators in Five Elements Mountain were no longer in contact with them because of Gong Huixin.

On the contrary, Fairy Pei Yu left a message, telling Chen He to take his time to find what she wanted, as she needed time to digest those sword manuals.

This was exactly what Chen He wanted. He still had a sum of Pei Xianzi's spirit stones, which he could use to generate more spirit stones, bringing many benefits.
