Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

"Your great-uncle can actually forge a low-grade third-tier spiritual weapon? Isn't he a high-grade second-tier weapon refiner?" Chen He asked as he sat down.

"By using the earth's spiritual fire and repeatedly forging the materials, it was successfully forged by chance," Liu He said casually.

Actually, it's not that simple.

This is the result of decades of unwavering dedication to forging, a mastery of material properties, precise control of heat, and meticulous refinement of technique.

Only then can one break through the boundaries of hierarchy.

Forging a low-grade third-tier spiritual weapon with the strength of a second-tier advanced weapon refiner is not something everyone can do.

"If I remember correctly, this level of skill is already enough to be certified as a third-tier weapon refiner," Chen He said admiringly. "The only thing lacking is cultivation level."

"It's just that he lacks cultivation," Liu He said regretfully. "Uncle's skills are beyond question. From the moment he embarked on cultivation, he chose to refine weapons and has never stopped until now."

Those whose cultivation level is below the Purple Mansion Realm cannot be certified as third-tier low-grade weapon refiners, because this requires participating in the assessment at the alchemy branch of the sect.

Without the cultivation level of Purple Mansion, one is not even qualified to enter the inner sect, and the Pill Cauldron lineage does not recognize such a weapon refiner.

Even if Uncle Liu possesses the skill to refine low-grade spiritual artifacts, he cannot become a third-tier low-grade artifact refiner without certification.

It wasn't just Uncle Liu; there were many cultivators like this in the outer sect, whose skills had reached their peak but whose cultivation could not advance any further.

For example, Jia Guirong, the deputy deacon of the weapon refining hall, and Ma Wanli, who has reached the pinnacle of Qi refining.

There are quite a few cultivators like this.

Uncle Liu was lucky to have met Chen He and had the opportunity to refine the fire seed; otherwise, he would most likely have been trapped and died.

"Thank you for the fire seed." Liu He thanked him solemnly. "With this fire seed, good news will come when Uncle finishes his seclusion. When Uncle goes to the inner sect, he may be able to help you alleviate the trouble from the Gong family."

"I don't care," Chen He waved his hand. "Besides, are you sure Uncle can go to the inner sect? Is it possible for him to stay in the outer sect?"

"You don't know this," Liu He laughed, "but basically all weapon refiners, alchemists, and formation masters who break through to the Purple Mansion Realm join the inner sect."

"Then what about the stewards of our Five Elements Mountain?" Chen He asked, puzzled.

"He also belongs to the inner sect," Liu He said, "but he only took on the task of guarding the outer sect's mountain. In fact, it's just a nominal position. He is still the deputy deacon in charge of the actual work."

"So that's how it is." Chen He understood, gaining a deeper understanding of the sect. This information wasn't in the jade tablet.

He then thought of Steward Zhu Huang. It seemed that Steward Zhu Huang was not a cultivator who focused on cultivation techniques, and the other party was not an inner sect steward.

The two chatted for another half hour and drank Yunwu tea twice before parting ways.

Liu He went back to continue his seclusion. He wanted to catch up with Chen He and didn't want to be surpassed or even fall behind. He was full of motivation.

However, he was unaware that Chen He had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining and his Qi Meridians were complete. He was just waiting for his magic power to nourish his Qi Meridians so that he could advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Liu He didn't ask, so Chen He didn't say anything either.

He naturally concealed his aura, and even fellow cultivators couldn't see through his strength. Liu He didn't suspect anything and assumed that his cultivation was comparable to Chen He's.

……

For the next week, all was calm, and Uncle Liu and Liu He were in seclusion.

Chen He didn't pay much attention, using his magic power to nourish his qi and meridians every day, and also teaching Chen Miao how to cultivate magic.

Most of them are Five Elements spells, which she learns in advance. Since they consume magical power anyway, she just takes drugs.

Chen He gave Chen Miao a lot of pills to restore his mana, such as Qi Condensation Pills and Qi Nourishing Pills, which he made as he pleased.

Chen Miao lived up to his expectations, using the limited magical power within her body to quickly master many of the Five Elements spells.

The only regret is that she can't learn the Five Elements Spirit Communication Technique. Even if she mastered the Five Elements spells well, she still couldn't compare to Chen He.

However, this regret belonged to Chen He, while Chen Miao didn't care at all. She was happy enough to be able to cast spells, let alone use magical artifacts.

Shoes, socks, long skirts, and even underwear are all magical artifacts. She can use them with her magic to actively unleash their power, which makes her very happy.

On the tenth day of Liuhe's seclusion, Fairy Pei emerged from seclusion having successfully completed her cultivation.

She refined the Golden Fire, and her cultivation level broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

His own swordsmanship has also broken through, and it is said that he challenged other sword cultivators at Jinling Mountain as soon as he came out of seclusion.

After a full day of fierce fighting, they defeated sixteen Qi Refining Level 6 sword cultivators and three Qi Refining Level 7 sword cultivators from Jinling Mountain.

Then, Fairy Pei was led into the inner sect.

The next day, while Chen He was sleeping in, Chen Miao came over with the jade tablet.

"Fairy Pei sent a message saying she has joined the sword cultivator lineage and gone to the inner sect, Lingxiao Mountain," Chen Miao said.

"How could it be Lingxiao Mountain?" Chen He asked in surprise. "What else did she say?"

"They only said they'd wait for her to come back," Chen Miao said, handing over the jade tablet and asking curiously, "Is something wrong with Lingxiao Mountain?"

"What's our sect called?" Chen He asked casually as he took the jade tablet.

"Lingxiao Immortal Sect," Chen Miao said.

"Lingxiao Mountain is the most direct lineage of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, the main peak of the direct line, and not just anyone can go there."

After Chen He finished explaining, he glanced at the contents of the jade tablet and, as expected, it was a message from Fairy Pei.

It only says that he was taken to Lingxiao Mountain, without mentioning who his master is. It does say that he became an inner disciple, rather than someone's nominal disciple.

Without any other information, I reckon that after this period of busy work, she will be able to come and go freely.

Because she is different from Fairy Lin.

Fairy Lin was taken into the Wood Vein of the Five Elders Peak and accepted as a disciple by the elders.

Pei Yu Fairy, on the other hand, was a formal inner disciple of Lingxiao Mountain, so her treatment and rules were completely different.

"Brother?" Chen Miao called softly.

"Good thing," Chen He chuckled softly, handing the jade tablet to her. "Now that Fairy Pei is an inner disciple, and we can make contact with inner disciples, our transactions can now reach the inner sect."

"What about the Gong family?" Chen Miao asked.

"It doesn't involve the Gong family yet; it's just Gong Huixin's isolation," Chen He shook his head. "My relationship with Fairy Pei is purely transactional; Gong Huixin won't make any moves."

Moreover, Gong Huixin only isolated him; she did not actively arrange for anyone to provoke him, so it had no real impact on him.

With the deal with Gong Huixin gone, hasn't there been an extra deal between Shen Luoyu and Lin Hongye? It's a trade-off, so he's not at a loss.

Gong Huixin is not worth Chen Hehua's favor in asking Fairy Pei to step in and warn her.

Chen Miao nodded slightly. She had figured out the reason behind it and felt that Gong Huixin was indeed domineering, yet she couldn't do anything about it.

Chen Miao felt a little frustrated, but it didn't affect herself or her brother. On the contrary, she thought it was pretty good, at least her brother was with her.

Chen Miao turned around happily, took the jade tablet, and went to chat with Fairy Lin.

The two had endless topics to discuss.

Fairy Lin was, after all, a celestial seedling from the previous generation, more than twenty years younger.

She was about the same age as Chen Miao's mother, or even a little older.

It can be said that Fairy Lin perfectly became Chen Miao's guide in the Immortal Sect.

Many of the questions were answered by Fairy Lin, and it was Fairy Lin who helped Chen Miao learn about the Immortal Sect.

The two got along well, and Chen He was happy to see it happen, as his sister also needed friends.

For the next few days, Chen He slacked off, instructing his younger sister in cultivation and disciplining the four spirit foxes.

He didn't even accept the alchemy task, lazily waiting for his magical power to nourish his meridians.

Not only his energy channels, but his physical body also became stronger under the enhancement of magic power. This feeling was wonderful, and he almost became immersed in it.

The main reason is that the sword bamboo worm in the dantian has awakened. Ever since it swallowed three second-tier primary magic swords, this little thing has been sleeping in the dantian.

Later, the seed of the earth vein fire took root in the dantian, and it was not affected; it simply moved from the center of the dantian to the edge.

After the magic power was purified by the fire, the sword bamboo worm digested it even faster and woke up ahead of schedule this time.
