Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

The jade-colored bamboo worm looked noticeably larger, its body lush and green, and it even had natural bamboo patterns.

To the naked eye, it was clearly a section of bamboo with leaves, and it was impossible to tell that it was a spirit insect, let alone imagine that it could emit sword energy.

Chen He placed the fully jade-like sword bamboo worm on the table, and used spiritual water to mix the powder of metal and wood materials with his hands, adding the metal and wood attribute spiritual worms to form granules.

"Brother, can a little seedling raise spirit insects? It looks so cute," Chen Miao asked softly, running his fingers along the bamboo joint.

"No, you can't," Chen He shook his head. "The spirit insect needs to reside in your dantian, which will affect your beast-taming spirit patterns. It will only be a burden to you and will not bring you any benefits."

Chen Miao's dantian needs to ensure the purity of her magical power. Since she has no spiritual root to regulate it, she can only eliminate the possibility of impure magical power from the very beginning.

If she were to raise a spirit insect, it would inevitably affect her dantian. The key issue is that the spirit insect harbors a ferocious nature, and Chen Miao would need to expend a great deal of effort to tame it.

This will affect her ability to improve.

"Then I can't become a spirit plant master? How can a cultivator without spirit insects be called a spirit plant master?" Chen Miao pouted.

"You are a beast tamer, not a spirit plant master," Chen He smiled. "You can become an alchemist, a weapon refiner, or a formation master, but you just can't become a spirit plant master."

Just as my sister said, she can't raise spirit insects, so she can't truly become a spirit plant master. Maybe she'll be fine below the Purple Mansion level.

But above the Purple Mansion level, the path is blocked.

This isn't a bad thing; it just means you can't become a spirit plant master. You can still become an alchemist or learn other cultivation techniques.

"What a pity, I've mastered the Cloud Gathering and Rain Transformation Technique," Chen Miao said softly. "If I went to the Four Symbols City, my parents would be so happy to see this magic."

"They won't be happy. The medicinal fields of Four Symbols City can't withstand your magic," Chen He said calmly. "Besides, they'll be terrified if you suddenly cast a spell."

"Panic?" Chen Miao's face stiffened.

"You have no spiritual root, and if you suddenly start using magic, they will suspect that you are not human or that you have used evil magic," Chen He said calmly.

"Then I..." Chen Miao felt her mentality was about to explode, and her scalp was tingling.

"Don't worry, once I enter the inner sect, everything will be fine," Chen He smiled, handing the prepared granules to the sword bamboo worm to enjoy. "At that time, I will hand over your cultivation technique in exchange for merit points, and you will also join the sect."

He had planned this all along.

It's impossible for his younger sister to stay by his side without a proper status. It's not that Chen He is unwilling to support her, but rather that his sister wouldn't be able to enjoy the sect's benefits.

Chen He has a market town, so he naturally doesn't lack the resources of a sect, but it would be best if his younger sister had a sect identity so that she could better plan for the future.

"That's good," Chen Miao breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just that we can't go back for the time being. My parents have both reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and their lifespans have been extended, so they can see us."

"It won't be long," Chen He said, "but during this time, stay in the cave and don't go out."

It's not just the danger, but also the fear of attracting attention. After all, methods that mortals can use for cultivation, no matter how precious, still have an impact.

Even if it has flaws, a cultivator family like the Gong family would definitely not let it go.

That will be another problem.

Chen Miao nodded, having fully understood her brother's concerns, and said nothing more.

She held the white jade fox and quietly watched the sword bamboo worm devour the granules prepared by Chen He.

Chen He made a lot, but put them all away and only fed a little bit to the animals.

The bamboo worms ate their fill.

It had just woken up and digested the magic sword, so it didn't have much of a appetite.

But these pellets are very appealing, so they eat as much as you feed them.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

No news came from Five Elements Mountain, but Shen Luoyu did make a contact.

In order to purchase the fire seed, Shen Luoyu began frantically contacting people to make transactions.

Besides helping Chen He find clients in the Spirit Plant Master Alliance, she also contacted clients in the Spirit Beast Mountain, and the results were quite good.

She was noticed by the inner sect elders early on and was quite well-known in Beast Spirit Mountain.

She also has a wide social circle, with familiar fellow cultivators in the fields of plant cultivators and beast tamers, with whom she can contact.

After making contact with the client, she would proactively visit Chen He to conduct transactions.

After the transaction was successful, both parties were very satisfied. She earned a referral fee and a good relationship, making it a win-win-win situation.

Although they don't have the means to buy fire seeds yet, the resources they've earned are enough to cover the shortfall in raising spirit beasts, so they're very concerned about it.

Her former aloof attitude has disappeared, and now she is chatting with Chen Miao while holding the jade tablet.

They discussed the price of the transaction, the resources needed, and the normal trading interactions.

But for Chen Miao, this was also quite interesting, after all, this was the second cultivator she could interact and chat with on the jade tablet.

Chen He was happy to see this happen, as it saved him a lot of trouble; he only needed to provide the goods.

Over time, Shen Luoyu and Chen Miao became acquainted.

Chen Miao also asked Shen Luoyu for some advice on beast taming, and Shen Luoyu answered all her questions without reservation.

The two had common topics and both knew Fairy Lin Hongye, so they chatted very happily.

The three of them often chatted together, and when Chen Miao got into the conversation, she would leave Chen He aside.

Chen He didn't care. After the sword bamboo worm came out of his dantian, he didn't slack off.

Instead, they began to complete the alchemy task.

……

After Chen He became a second-tier intermediate alchemist, there were no mandatory requirements for alchemy tasks.

He can accept missions anytime, anywhere, and does not need to collect materials in person; he can directly teleport through the internal space of the jade tablet.

Convenient and accurate, Chen He was very satisfied.

He familiarized himself with his own fire seed through alchemy and gradually nurtured it.

For a fire seed to grow, it needs to be nourished by magic power and also needs to absorb other flames, but this is nothing to Chen He.

Below the alchemy room lies the earth's spiritual fire, and the array can activate this fire.

Therefore, every time Chen He refines pills, he will activate the earth's spiritual fire, allowing the fire seed in his dantian to absorb wisps and strands of it.

In this way, the loss of the earth vein spiritual fire is within the normal range, while the seed of the earth vein spiritual fire in his dantian is growing.

It is itself a seed of earth vein spiritual fire, so absorbing earth vein spiritual fire is very smooth.

As batches of pills were successfully refined, the illusory image of the fire lotus in Chen He's dantian condensed considerably, with some lotus petals beginning to materialize.

Chen He's mastery of flames has increased, and he can control them more freely. This is an excellent change that makes him very happy.

Just three weeks after Shen Luoyu came to the cave to complete the transaction,

That day, Chen He had just come out of the alchemy room when Chen Miao screamed and ran over, handing him the jade tablet.

Chen He raised an eyebrow, took the jade tablet, which contained a notice about the Five Elements Mountain.

Liu Jun, Liu He's uncle, successfully broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm and took over from the original steward of Fire Spirit Mountain, becoming the presiding steward.

In other words, Fire Spirit Mountain is now under Uncle Liu's control, and Liu Jun is in charge of both the alchemy hall and the weapon-refining hall.

"Brother, is it a success?" Chen Miao asked. "Is the information guaranteed to be accurate?"

"It's authentic," Chen He nodded. "This is an announcement released by Five Elders Peak, not from within Five Elements Mountain, so it's absolutely genuine."

"Then why didn't he go to the inner sect, but instead stayed at Fire Spirit Mountain?" Chen Miao wondered. "Didn't Liu He say that his uncle would definitely enter the inner sect?"

"I don't know, but it's not a bad thing." Chen He smiled. "At least in Fire Spirit Mountain, no one will cause trouble."

"Can I go out then?" Chen Miao asked with a hint of anticipation in her voice.

"No," Chen He shook his head, "You're not a sect cultivator, not even a servant, just a relative of mine."

Without an identity and without him by her side, Chen Miao was unable to move an inch; it was best for her not to go out.

Chen Miao nodded with slight disappointment, took the jade tablet, turned around and left to play with the spirit fox.
