Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

Chen He slept for a day and a night without having any dreams.

I woke up feeling full of energy, with my blood flowing naturally and my muscles and bones resonating.

He felt he had become much stronger.

After swallowing a fasting pill, Chen He silently circulated his internal energy.

The body's Qi and blood, mixed with spiritual energy, repeatedly tempered the muscles and bones.

Muscles feel numb, itchy, and sore; bone pain is excruciating.

Although he had completed one round of tempering, Chen He found that the efficiency was not high.

It's not as effective as the token for passively tempering bones and muscles by absorbing spiritual energy.

Despite this, Chen He remained lucid.

He silently circulated his internal energy every morning and afternoon, and practiced his boxing techniques at noon and in the evening.

Only by combining static and dynamic exercises can a complete practice be considered successful.

After more than ten days, Chen He finally gained complete control of his body's strength.

He can now exert the force of ten thousand jin with a single swing of his arm.

Even a seasoned handyman with perfect physique couldn't withstand his punch.

But he was still not satisfied.

His role model wasn't the menial servants, but the outer disciples.

If the outer disciples of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect were ranked, he would definitely be last.

Therefore, after preparing for several days, he began to activate the token.

……

Although the token was not refined, it could communicate after absorbing spiritual energy for the first time.

Although he had very little information, Chen He was able to control whether the token absorbed spiritual energy.

This is the first time I've actively communicated with the token, allowing it to absorb spiritual energy.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly.

A powerful suction force was generated from the token.

Strangely, Chen He's vital energy and spiritual energy were not absorbed.

Instead, spiritual energy from the outside world flocked in.

Chen He transformed into a vortex, and the spiritual energy accumulated inside the bamboo house quickly surged in.

Even the spiritual energy outside the bamboo house was being drawn out due to the formation.

A large amount of spiritual energy surged into the bamboo house, turning into a cloud of mist that landed on Chen He's body.

The token's suction power drew the mist into his body.

The skin and flesh that have been tempered, as well as the tendons and bones that have been tempered, have all been tempered by spiritual energy.

His internal organs were further impacted.

Having learned from the first experience, Chen He was able to endure it this time.

I endured it, and three months passed.

……

It was now the second month of the third year since Chen He entered Qingniu Peak.

When he opened his eyes, the mist inside the bamboo house had already disappeared.

Even the spiritual energy has become thin.

He got up from the bamboo bed and practiced the boxing technique once.

As he assumed the stance of the Five Elements Returning to Origin Fist, his entire body naturally relaxed and stretched.

His whole body emitted a crackling sound as his muscles and bones resonated.

Compared to the aches and pains he had experienced before, Chen He now felt completely refreshed.

His bones and muscles had been tempered and refined through three months of continuous absorption of spiritual energy.

The bones and muscles of mortals have been transformed into spiritual jade bones.

Moreover, the three months of spiritual energy tempering also cleansed the internal organs.

The originally fragile internal organs have become extremely powerful.

Although the internal organs have not yet been fully refined, they are not far off.

This cheat-like training made Chen He feel excited and deeply moved.

……

"If one cultivates step by step according to one's own spiritual root aptitude..."

"I'm afraid they haven't even fully tempered their muscles and bones by now."

"I had such high hopes for things before."

"I thought I was only a few years behind other outer disciples of the same year."

"Only now do I realize that the difference in spiritual roots is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth."

"The cruelty of the cultivation world is more ruthless and heartless than that of the mortal world."

Although Chen He was delighted, he also had mixed feelings.

Without the token's help, he wouldn't have been able to fully temper his bones and muscles in three years.

You have to use merit points to exchange for pills.

Only with the help of elixirs can one possibly temper their bones and muscles within five years.

The most common way to exchange the earnings from those menial labor tasks for elixirs was through pills.

First-tier Bone Tempering Pill.

First-tier Cleansing Pill.

These are all precious medicinal resources, specifically for foundational cultivation of muscles, bones, and internal organs.

Now Chen He is not using any pills, but simply accepting the violent cleansing of spiritual energy.

It's truly astonishing that things have come to this.

……

That being said, it wasn't without its price.

The spiritual energy inside the bamboo house was completely depleted; this was the core of the formation.

In theory, it can support the cultivation of outer disciples.

The lowest level of outer disciples is the Qi Refining Realm.

Chen He was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he absorbed so much spiritual energy, which was quite astonishing.

The array covers the entire spirit field, and the spiritual energy comes from the spiritual veins of Qingniu Mountain.

The consumed spiritual energy will be gradually replenished over time.

In addition, the formation itself is mainly for harmonizing spiritual energy and assisting the growth of spiritual plants.

This is why the condition of the spiritual plants in the spiritual field was not affected.

Otherwise, it would be a disaster.

If anything seems amiss, the servants will be the first to report it to the administration office.

The unusual behavior of Chen He could no longer be concealed once it alerted the outer disciples of the Affairs Hall.

Realizing this, Chen He temporarily suspended his cultivation.

He waited for the spiritual energy to recover, and at the same time checked the jade tablet.

Two years have passed, and his merit points are still there.

A total of 36,900 points.

I checked the jade tablet and found that there were quite a few resources that could be exchanged for it.

Regarding first-order spells,

One basic spell costs 100 points.

Each entry-level spell costs 500 points.

Regarding first-tier pills,

Basic elixirs, such as the Bigu Pill, come in bottles of 100 points and contain more than 30 pills.

Entry-level pills, such as the Bone Tempering Pill, cost 500 points and contain nine pills per bottle.

Regarding first-tier spiritual cuisine.

Basic spiritual food, one hundred points per serving, consists of only a small bowl.

Entering the spiritual realm, one serving costs 300 points.

Regarding first-order magical artifacts.

Basic magical artifacts cost 1,000 points each.

Entering-level magic artifacts, 3,000 points per set.

Regarding first-order spell symbols.

Basic spell symbols, 500 points for 100 symbols.

Entry-level magic talismans: 1,000 points, 20 talismans.

Regarding first-order formations.

A basic formation costs 1,000 points.

An entry-level formation costs 10,000 points.

……

In addition to the above, you can also exchange for spirit beasts.

Puppet, spirit insect, spirit plant, spirit mine, divination, star rhythm, celestial sound, spirit painting, spirit ink, etc.

Most importantly, spirit stones can also be exchanged.

The Lingxiao Immortal Sect defaults to exchanging one merit point for one standard low-grade spirit stone.

The so-called standard is a full spirit stone that is cut evenly and has no leakage of spiritual energy.

However, Gui Li directly stated that sect merit points are precious.

Whether they are from the outer sect or the inner sect, they secretly exchange more spirit stones for merit points.

Chen He simply searched for the words "spirit stone" and found relevant information.

……

As for the spirit stone itself, it was actually not important to him at this moment.

Spirit stones can be used for direct cultivation or to replenish one's own magical power.

It can also be used for formation.

The bamboo house had enough spiritual energy for him to cultivate, but he hadn't learned how to set up formations.

Chen He wanted to exchange some spirit stones to see if he could meet the token's requirements.

But he dared not.

Regardless of whether exchanging spirit stones with the sect is feasible, he won't do anything that would put him at a disadvantage.

It wouldn't be appropriate to exchange it with other outer disciples.

He didn't know any of the outer disciples, and his own strength hadn't reached the Qi Refining Realm.

Even though he was bound by the rules of the immortal sect, he dared not ask anyone to exchange spirit stones.

It would be too conspicuous for him; he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage and doesn't need spirit stones yet.

After much deliberation, Chen He decided to exchange for some Bone Tempering Pills and Body Protection Pills.

He has a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements, so it wouldn't make sense for him to cultivate without the aid of elixirs.

Even if we don't need it, we can give it to our parents and sister.

They were all mortals without spiritual roots.

Once Chen He develops magical power, he can help dissolve the pills.

With the help of the elixir, my parents and sister can strengthen their muscles, bones and internal organs.

At least your body will become stronger, and you will be free from illness and disaster in the future.

It can also be kept at Old Chen's house, where clansmen can exchange it for their own contributions.

This is to enhance family cohesion.

Chen He became an outer disciple because of his family's influence, so he always wanted to repay them.

……

With his mind focused on the jade tablet, Chen He bought Bone Tempering Pills and Inner Cleansing Pills.

One bottle of Bone Tempering Pill costs 500 merit points, so he bought ten bottles.

One bottle of the Cleansing Pill costs 1,000 merit points, and he bought ten bottles.

It cost a total of 15,000 merit points.

21,900 merit points remaining.
