Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

Although Lin Hongye wanted to start cultivating immediately, she managed to keep her emotions in check and did not neglect Chen He.

Not only did he personally pour tea, but he also chatted with Chen He about the Five Elements Mountain and the cultivators in his family.

Taking the Gong family as an example, not all family cultivators come from the Five Elements Mountain.

Depending on their own spiritual roots, people choose different outer sects, which results in other outer sects having cultivators from the Gong family.

This is the fundamental reason why the Gong family, despite lacking cultivators at the Core Formation stage, still wields influence within the outer sect.

A cultivator at the Purple Mansion level represents a network of connections and resources accumulated over hundreds of years.

As long as the Gong family still has cultivators at the Purple Mansion level, their influence will not be erased.

As long as the Gong family has more promising talents joining the immortal sect, there will be a continuous stream of cultivators.

If we disregard all of that, neither Pei Yu nor Lin Hongye are afraid of Gong Huixin at all.

If Fairy Lin's cultivation breaks through and she successfully joins the Five Elders Peak, then there will be no need to worry about the Gong family, and the situation will be completely reversed.

Chen He finally gained some understanding of the Five Elements Mountain, and in addition to the Gong family, he also got to know several other cultivator families.

They came not only from the Four Symbols City, but also from other cities or from imperial dynasties and dynasties. This was true for the Five Elements Mountain and other mountains as well.

Besides family power, there are also secret societies, which are clandestine organizations formed by cultivators of different surnames banding together.

Lin Hongye confessed that she had joined the Spirit Plant Master Alliance, a secret organization of spirit plant masters that was very selective about its members.

Although Gong Huixin is a spirit plant master, she cannot join because she is a family cultivator.

Lin Hongye's so-called cooperation involved collecting resources from the Spirit Plant Master Alliance and then trading them with Chen He.

Chen He had no problem with this.

Pei Yu also had something to say.

She also joined a sword cultivator organization, a secret organization without family members, focusing solely on combat and cultivation.

She could also cooperate with Chen He, but she would need to break through her cultivation level first. Only after breaking through her cultivation level would she be qualified to discuss deals with the members.

For sword cultivators, strength is the primary standard. As long as she can overpower all other sword cultivators, everything is fine; otherwise, it's a failure.

Before leaving, Chen He asked about the spirit insects. As expected, Gong Huixin was the most skilled at refining spirit insects in Muxing Mountain.

After all, she controls the Red Maple Forest, which is rich in resources. She can obtain high-quality spirit insects by chance, something Lin Hongye cannot compare to.

……

Back in his cave, Chen He did not go out to trade, but quietly refined pills.

He completed the task of refining the elixir, and his merit points were accumulating rapidly.

He's saving all his merit points because he doesn't want to use them; he's preparing to unlock the "Five Directions Spirit Treasure Seal," which is the most cost-effective and necessary option.

Chen He, who had no shortage of resources, focused on cultivation techniques and spells. Spells could be found in the Scripture Pavilion, including both second- and third-tier spells.

The key is the cultivation method. Chen He doesn't want to be confined by the "Divine Scripture" for the rest of his life. He believes that the right path is to make connections and integrate knowledge from different sources.

Although his spiritual root aptitude is not good, relying on the market and the scripture pavilion is enough to allow him to go further. The more perfect his cultivation technique is, the better.

There are also cultivation techniques from other forces in the Scripture Pavilion, but none of them are suitable for Chen He. The key is that the "Five Directions Spirit Treasure Seal" is also the fundamental cultivation technique of the Five Elders Peak, and there is no conflict between cultivating the two.

Other cultivation methods won't work; even other Five Elements cultivation methods are completely useless.

While Chen He was quietly refining pills, the Five Elements Mountain was stirred up by his transaction.

Some people spend spirit stones to buy merit points.

Someone broke through using spirit stones.

Some people are using spirit stones to trade resources privately.

The originally scarce spirit stones circulated among the cultivators of Five Elements Mountain, causing quite a stir, especially in the Weapon Refining Hall.

Some neutral weapon refiners quietly aligned themselves with the direct lineage in order to obtain spirit stones and different weapon refining materials, which naturally increased Liu He's reputation.

This is not an isolated case.

As the number of trading cultivators increased, Chen He's name also spread, and many things were subtly changing.

Unbeknownst to Chen He, he went from having no identity and starting point to now having his own circle and even gaining a foothold.

He has the weapon refiners from the weapon refining hall behind him, as well as Fairy Pei and Fairy Lin. It may seem like a small number, but it's actually enough.

At least Gong Huixin couldn't attack him, and he couldn't stop all the cultivators. As long as a cultivator made a deal with Chen He, he would be invincible.

He was not an unknown figure in Five Elements Mountain; he was the most famous among the Qi Refining and Meridian Opening cultivators.

……

For twelve consecutive days, Chen He spent his time refining pills, completing all the pill refining tasks and reaping a batch of merit points.

He did not leave seclusion, but instead practiced magic in the cultivation room to consolidate his mastery of the five elements magic and practiced ice, wind, thunder and other spells.

After that, he began to study the art of sword forging.

He is now a first-level senior weapon refiner, and he can refine talisman swords without any pressure. Even refining a second-level beginner magic sword would not be a big problem.

However, sword forging is different from ordinary weapon crafting. It specializes in forging swords, including natal swords, flying swords, and even swords with different abilities.

For sword cultivators, this is an unparalleled secret technique. Since Chen He has offered it up for trade, he must have mastered it.

He spent seven days forging his first natal sword, which was only a basic magic weapon-level sword embryo. It would become a natal sword after further refinement.

But Chen He didn't refine it.

He did not intend to follow the path of sword cultivation. His natal sword was a good thing for sword cultivators, but a burden for non-sword cultivators.

Chen He doesn't follow the sword path, but he can use different swords to fight. More importantly, he needs to forge a second-tier beginner magic sword himself.

Using a crafted magic sword to cultivate sword bamboo worms is a secret method obtained from the market.

"Who would have thought that the Sword Bamboo Insect could be upgraded?" Chen He held the jade-like Sword Bamboo Insect in his hand, a smile on his lips. "Thanks to the contributions of the overseas cultivation community, who provided the method for the evolution of spirit insects. Otherwise, we would have missed out on this treasure."

The library contains not only cultivation techniques and spells, but also various secret recipes, categorized by type and varying greatly in value, some expensive and some cheap.

Before refining the spirit insect, Chen He had already digested and absorbed the contents of the entire two floors of the Scripture Pavilion, mastering a large number of cultivation techniques and spells.

This naturally includes these secret methods.

Among them was the secret method for further enhancing the sword bamboo worm. It was only after reading it that Chen He understood that spirit worms all had their own exclusive evolution paths.

However, the secrets to the evolution of these spirit insects have long been lost. He was lucky enough to find the evolution method of the sword bamboo insect.

"Sword Bamboo Insects come in three qualities: Iron, Stone, and Wood. Only the Wood quality can evolve, and it requires complete jadeification."

Chen He looked at the jade-colored sword bamboo worm in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

After being nurtured by the power of the dantian, the sword bamboo insect successfully transformed into jade, both inside and out, reaching a perfect state.

Next, we will use a basic magic sword with metal and wood attributes to feed the sword bamboo worms.

It's not about feeding the sword bamboo worm, but rather about channeling the sword energy of the sword bamboo worm into the magic sword, and then retracting it.

Prepare other spirit insects with metal and wood attributes, and feed them with metal and wood attribute material powder mixed with spirit water.

Depending on the refining techniques, the sword bamboo worm will gradually grow larger, its jadeification will become more complete, and natural bamboo patterns will emerge.

Subsequently, the number of bamboo joints will increase. During this process, the bamboo will be nourished with intermediate and advanced magic swords respectively to accumulate its foundation.

If it can eventually complete the evolution, it will directly advance to the third-tier spirit insect, and its life form will change, advancing to the Hejian insect.

The Hejian Insect comes in two qualities: gold and silver. However, the best and most perfect quality is gold with a hint of purple, which represents the ultimate evolution.

Once mature, it can contend with third-tier spiritual artifacts, no longer limited to the realm of spiritual plants, but becoming an absolute battle partner.

It's too early to talk about evolution. Chen He is currently mainly making preparations, refining a second-tier beginner magic sword, preparing other materials, and comprehending secret techniques.

But these things are very simple for him; it's just a matter of time.
