Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

The cave's formation was activated, and Chen He finally saw his sister. It had been almost two years since they last met, and both siblings were very excited.

Pei Yu didn't disturb the siblings' reminiscing. She simply took the fire, said goodbye to Chen He, and flew away.

Chen He used an array to seal off the cave, then arranged for Chen Miao to go to the bedroom and bring two portions of spiritual food from Baiweilou.

These are all first-tier basic spiritual foods, and Chen Miao, having reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, can digest them completely.

While eating, Chen He talked about what had happened in the past two years. He didn't hide anything because there was no need to; his sister was stronger than he had imagined.

"Don't go out anymore," Chen Miao gripped her chopsticks tightly. "My brother has the key to Penglai Market and has no shortage of resources. Improving your cultivation is the priority. You must not go out and take risks."

"Hmm." Chen He nodded slightly. "They wouldn't dare to make a move on the outer mountain, so don't worry. It's just that you'll have to go through this."

"I'm not wronged," Chen Miao shook her head. "Staying in Four Symbols City is like being in prison. I'm already content to be with my brother."

She and her brother grew up together. In the years they were separated, the Chen family underwent a major change, and a new baby was born.

She was easily overlooked by her parents. Rather than staying at home and being urged to marry into a family, she would rather follow her brother to cultivate herself.

She wasn't afraid of anything, except that she might hold her brother back. Fortunately, her brother was still the same brother she had always been, which put her at ease.

After the brother and sister finished their meal and rested for a while, Chen He took her to the cultivation room to give her guidance on her cultivation.

"Brother, can I cultivate even if I don't have spiritual roots?" Chen Miao asked, puzzled.

"I'll teach you a first-tier spell," Chen He said. "Practice it first, and I'll slowly search the market for cultivation methods that don't require spiritual roots."

"Okay." Chen Miao nodded.

She didn't have much hope in her heart, but she didn't want to disappoint her brother, so she answered quickly and obediently.

Chen He didn't expose her, and instead taught his younger sister the basic spells of a spirit plant master.

First, teach the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, which is a lower-level basic spell of the Cloud Gathering and Rain Transformation Technique.

Even menial tasks can be used for cultivation, a skill Chen He has mastered completely, making it easy for him to guide his younger sister in her cultivation.

Chen Miao tried seven times before successfully releasing the energy, which consumed a lot of her vital energy.

Fortunately, he had taken spiritual food beforehand and recovered quickly; otherwise, it would have been difficult to continue.

Chen He frowned, placed his fingers on Chen Miao's wrist, and used his magic to examine Chen Miao's physical condition.

"I've been cultivating too diligently, and my Qi and blood are stagnant," Chen He sighed. "That's enough for today. I need to recover my health first."

It was his fault. He hadn't gone back to pick her up for almost two years. His sister was worried too much, which upset her and caused her blood and qi to stagnate.

Chen Miao pouted, feeling that she was too disappointing. Chen He comforted her and told her to rest while he went to the alchemy room.

Chen He spent half a day refining a large number of first-tier pills, including the Bigu Pill and the Blood Nourishing Pill, both of which were essential for Chen Miao.

After Chen He finished refining the pills, he handed them to Chen Miao and told her to take them on time.

Chen Miao carefully put the pills into her talisman bag. With these pills, she wouldn't have to worry about Chen He going into seclusion for too long and leaving her with nothing to eat.

Next, Chen He crafted two rocking chairs, one for him and one for Chen Miao, and then used them in the cave to explain the common knowledge of the cultivation world to his sister.

Since Chen Miao didn't have a jade tablet, he couldn't receive the knowledge impartation, so Chen He had to teach him himself.

Chen Miao listened very attentively, sometimes even taking notes, and even took his brother's jade tablet to see its contents.

Chen He can only see it if he grants her permission; otherwise, she cannot see it.

This was amazing; it was the first time Chen Miao had ever seriously come into contact with anything in the cultivation world.

……

Over the next week, under Chen He's guidance, Chen Miao learned about the cultivation world and gained some basic knowledge.

Don't underestimate these common sense facts; they contain a lot of knowledge and cover a wide range of fields.

Chen Miao gained a completely new understanding of the cultivation world and also learned about its cruelty.

In addition, she is now in charge of taking care of the red flame grass and sunflowers in the planting room.

She uses the "Spring Breeze and Rain" technique once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Casting spells twice a day is effortless and just the right amount of power.

With a mission, she had a focus in her life and didn't find the days difficult at all.

Chen He would chat with her and guide her in practicing martial arts for ordinary people, helping her master fist and foot techniques.

She also knew that her brother had bought her a chance to enter the marketplace after her death.

Although Chen Miao didn't understand, she was greatly shocked and had fewer concerns, since she had her parents and younger brother.

With another person in the cave, Chen He felt a significant difference; it became more vibrant, less cold and impersonal, and more alive with warmth.

During these seven days, Chen Hehua spent two days refining pills and the rest of the time with her younger sister, and the cave dwelling has accumulated many more items.

In addition to the planting room, Chen Miao also cultivated her own fields and planted flowers, vegetables, and fruits, all of which were high-quality seeds.

Chen He let her tend to the plants as she pleased, as long as she didn't find it boring.

……

On the eighth day, Liuhe arrived early in the morning.

He had just come out of seclusion and only realized that Chen He had returned when he saw Chen He's name light up in the jade tablet. At first, he thought he was seeing things.

He rushed over almost instantly, and before he could even knock on the door, Chen He activated the formation.

"Thank goodness, you're alright. It's so good to see you." Liu He hugged him tightly, so excited that she lost her composure.

"I'm fine, I've taken refuge in Penglai Market," Chen He smiled. "But you, don't get so agitated."

"How could I not be excited? If I hadn't suggested going to the mine to see for myself and broaden my horizons, this wouldn't have happened."

Liu He said excitedly, "I went back to ask my uncle to save you, but he said he couldn't, and he locked me in the cave for a year..."

"He's right, there's no saving him," Chen He shook her head and gestured for him to sit down. "Don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you. He's waiting for me outside."

"Do you know who it is?" Liu He said coldly. "We can report it to the Enforcement Hall and ask the sect to help investigate."

"The Enforcement Hall?" Chen He smiled calmly. "Don't be naive. How can you be so sure there aren't any of their people in the Enforcement Hall?"

"Huh?" Liu He looked at him in shock. "No way..."

"It's very possible," Chen He said calmly. "So we can't report it. It won't do any good to alarm the Enforcement Hall. The only thing I can do is to work hard in my cultivation and strive to advance to the inner sect."

"Easier said than done?" Liu He smiled bitterly.

Everyone wants to advance to the inner sect, but if one's spiritual roots are insufficient or one's cultivation level does not meet the standards, the chances of advancing within a specific timeframe are slim.

"How will I know if I don't try?" Chen He said calmly. "I will continue my seclusion for the next few years and will only trade with cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining or above."

"I understand," Liu He nodded. "Let's work together. I will also continue my seclusion. I should be able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining within about three months."

"Not bad," Chen He raised an eyebrow, "It seems your uncle has given you quite a few resources."

"He locked me in the cave, and I couldn't do anything but cultivate," Liu He said in a complicated tone. "But I also had a fire in my heart that sustained me in my cultivation."

Given his previous inconsistent approach to cultivation, it would have been impossible for him to break through so quickly, but this year he was forced to cultivate diligently.

On one hand, the cave was sealed off, and Hou Shengjie was guarding it from the outside, so he couldn't leave.

On the other hand, he was extremely frustrated and felt very indignant because he felt something had happened to Chen He.

With the power of this emotion, Liu He diligently practiced, without stopping every day.

As soon as there was any progress, Uncle Liu would send over resources, and over time, progress would be made.
