Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

The swift left in the morning and returned as the sun was setting.

He brought back his father's earnest teachings, which reassured him to focus on his cultivation and not disappoint the family's expectations.

There was also her mother's blessing and her sister's longing.

Hearing their voices, Chen He was immediately filled with motivation.

After nightfall, he continued his practice.

……

Five months later, Chen He completed the tempering of his chest, abdomen, and back.

A year later, he had completely rejuvenated his skin and flesh.

The tempering effect was outstanding; his muscles were clearly defined.

His qi and blood are extremely vigorous, and a casual punch can have the force of two or three thousand catties.

In a mortal city, he would definitely be a guest of honor in the city lord's mansion.

It's even possible to achieve ordinary wealth and status.

Even within a dynasty or imperial court, they were among the elite.

Of course, within the immortal sects, this would only be considered a menial job.

Chen He was neither discouraged nor satisfied, but rather indifferent.

After the skin and flesh have been completely tempered once, the spiritual energy stabilizes at twelve strands per day.

One strand per hour on average.

This efficiency is only barely satisfactory.

A year has passed,

The outer disciples who entered the Lingxiao Immortal Sect with him have already completed the Foundation Establishment stage.

He had only completed the first step of the first hurdle.

Chen He was not discouraged and continued to cultivate in seclusion in the bamboo house.

He didn't even begin to temper his bones and muscles; he still used spiritual energy to temper his skin and flesh.

The Foundation Building chapter of the "Five Elements Return to Origin Divine Scripture" has very high requirements.

It's not as simple as just tempering the skin and flesh once to complete the tempering process.

The standard answer is five quenchings.

They use their mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and tongue to draw in and refine spiritual energy.

Chen He completed his first tempering by focusing on using his mouth to draw in spiritual energy.

Next, he had to try a different method of traction, using his nose.

Because it was the second time the energy was drawn in, the body was also tempered by spiritual energy.

Therefore, it is very easy to get started and the training time is not long.

In the first month of the following year, he completed the body tempering by drawing spiritual energy through his nasal passages.

The second month is the time for eye health.

The third month corresponds to the ear orifices.

The fourth month is the time for the tongue.

After completing five consecutive tempering processes, Chen He still did not proceed to the next step.

He began to empty his mind and use his mouth, nose, ears, eyes, and tongue to draw in spiritual energy.

He encountered difficulties this time.

He cannot multitask; he can only focus on one of the five senses.

He stopped after three days.

……

"I am the least qualified, that's a foregone conclusion."

"Therefore, every step of cultivation must be steady, and a solid foundation must be laid."

"The first physical hurdle in foundation building must be overcome to the limit."

"The Divine Canon only says that the standard is to use the five senses in sequence to arouse them."

"But the true essence lies in the method of mutual attraction."

"I can't give up."

Chen He pondered silently, and after reflecting on his actions, he became even more determined in his choice.

He knew his weakness was his spiritual root.

I'd rather spend time honing my foundation to achieve a perfect foundation.

A towering building rises from the ground; there is no room for error.

Therefore, even if one longs to develop magical power and truly become an outer disciple.

Chen He remained restrained and calm, continuing his cultivation.

Since he couldn't force himself to cultivate, Chen He didn't insist but instead went looking for answers.

He communicated with the jade tablet with his mind, not to look at the cultivation techniques, but to seek out experiences.

He has the privileges of an outer disciple, allowing him to view cultivation experiences and insights for free.

However, there are too few practitioners of the "Five Elements Returning to Origin Divine Scripture".

Chen He didn't gain much, so he had to expand his knowledge to other Five Elements techniques.

It ultimately took two nights.

He found inspiration in his insights from the "Secrets of Feng Shui".

This insight is about paying attention to and being mindful of nature during the process of spiritual practice.

In the midst of heaven and earth, feel the power of wind and water.

Look for terrain related to feng shui, or places where mountains and rivers possess abundant spiritual energy.

Without cultivation, simply perceive the direction of spiritual energy, its attributes, and even the fundamental primordial energy.

Then, one should enhance one's understanding, experience the changes in spiritual energy, and connect with oneself.

This made Chen He think of himself. He did not force himself to cultivate, but instead walked around the spirit field.

The Spirit Rice and Twin Fruit grown in the Spirit Field belong to the Spirit Plant Grain genus.

Five-petaled flower is a medicinal plant.

All three are first-tier spiritual plants.

Both spirit rice and twin fruit are used for cooking and making spiritual meals.

Five-petaled flowers are used in medicine to refine basic elixirs.

For example, the main ingredient of Bigu Dan is five-petaled flower.

First-tier corresponds to Foundation Establishment, and first-tier spiritual herbs are used as the main materials for first-tier pills.

First-tier spiritual herbs can also be used as auxiliary materials for second-tier pills.

Five-petaled flowers are like this; they can be used as auxiliary materials for second-tier pills, so they are very valuable.

Of these 18,400 mu of spiritual fields, 8,400 mu are planted with five-petaled flowers.

Five thousand mu of Lingwen rice and five thousand mu of twin fruit were planted.

Eighty percent of the year's harvest is handed over to the Immortal Sect.

The menial servants share 10%, while the steward of the spirit field receives the remaining 10%.

The difference is that the servants receive resource points from Qingniu Mountain.

After the harvest, all three kinds of spiritual plants were handed over to the Qingniu Mountain Affairs Hall.

The quality is assessed before resource points are designated.

The servants can use resource points to exchange for cultivation resources in the affairs hall.

Cultivation techniques and even first-order basic spells, etc.

As an outer disciple, Chen He received sect merit points.

He doesn't need to tend to the spiritual plants; the affairs hall automatically allocates them and settles accounts annually.

Chen He currently has 18,500 merit points in his jade tablet.

One hundred of them are benefits received by outer disciples for the first time.

……

The spirit field is protected by an array and also has a spirit-gathering array, making it rich in spiritual energy.

Ignoring the servants, Chen He sat cross-legged on the edge of the field, focusing on sensing the spiritual energy.

It took three months of continuous observation, day and night.

From taking root and sprouting to growing strong, he sensed the convergence of spiritual plants and spiritual energy.

This enhanced my understanding of the wood elemental energy.

When the five-petaled flower was in full bloom, he had a flash of inspiration and focused his attention on it.

He imagined himself as a five-petaled flower and resonated with the state of the five-petaled flower.

Thus, he resonated with the five-petaled flower.

Not only did Chen He successfully absorb the wood-attribute spiritual energy, but he also comprehended the spiritual energy resonance method.

He went into seclusion with a look of delight on his face.

Sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, he first regulated his breathing.

After entering a meditative state, I did not focus on guiding spiritual energy.

Instead, it is about sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and resonating with the five elements within that spiritual energy.

It didn't go smoothly at first, as he had already gotten used to Qi cultivation.

One must restrain the instinct to cultivate, not try to draw in qi, but instead focus on sensing qi.

It took him five days to get the basics down.

Simply enter a meditative state without practicing cultivation, and comprehend the Five Elements.

One day in August.

As he continued to feel the Qi, his whole body naturally relaxed.

In this state, his five sense acupoints naturally open.

The spiritual energy did not need to be deliberately drawn in; instead, it flowed into the body on its own.

Chen He successfully completed the method of five-sense resonance for the first time.

The spiritual energy actively enters the body through the five sense points and disperses into the skin and flesh.

The whole process was natural and smooth, requiring no mental effort or guidance.

The spiritual energy obtained is not only abundant but also very pure.

The skin and flesh, having undergone five rounds of tempering, are tempered once more.

This time the tempering effect is even better.

Every inch of the skin and flesh is tempered, even the fingertips are tempered.

A powerful surge of energy and blood was generated within his body.

The spiritual energy overflows within the skin and flesh, mixing into the blood and qi.

It allows the Qi and blood to be harmonized, becoming not only more refined but also purer.

Driven by spiritual energy, one's qi and blood continuously become more vigorous.

Finally, just as water overflows when the vessel is full, the skin and flesh are completely tempered.

As the Qi and blood circulate, spiritual energy naturally permeates into the muscles and bones.

From tendons to bones, it is gradually tempered and strengthened.

From then on, Chen He naturally advanced to the second stage of Foundation Establishment.

……

It was during the second stage of Foundation Establishment that Chen He felt a suction force emanating from his body.

The spiritual energy seemed to have found an entrance and surged in wildly.

If the previous flow of spiritual energy into the body was like a gentle stream, then this is like a waterfall cascading down.

The violent spiritual energy relentlessly surged back into his body.

It tears apart flesh, damages bones and muscles, and even impacts internal organs, eventually causing them to disappear.

Just as Chen He was about to give up, a dazzling light flashed and disappeared.
