Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

Liu Jun becoming a steward of Fire Spirit Mountain did not change Chen He's life in any way.

However, the number of cultivators contacting him and requesting trades has indeed increased, and even Deputy Deacon Jia inquired on the jade tablet whether there was any fire seed available for purchase.

Chen He could only apologize for this.

He didn't explain much, nor did he make any deals with the other monks.

They continued to trade only with Shen Luoyu and Liu He, which made the two famous in the outer sect.

Liu He is currently in seclusion, and other cultivators are contacting Shen Luoyu.

Shen Luoyu accepted all comers, charging a commission and taking a cut from Chen He's side.

Shen Luoyu has tasted the sweetness of making money from both sides, and she is now enjoying it.

Seeing the success, Chen Hele was willing to give her a cut, as this small amount of profit meant nothing to him.

With someone like Shen Xianzi acting as a tool, the impact of Gong Huixin was completely offset.

To put it bluntly, Gong Huixin only had some influence in the Five Elements Mountain area.

On other mountain strongholds, no one would give the Gong family any face. The Lingxiao Immortal Sect has quite a few outer sect strongholds, but Chen He simply couldn't show his face.

Firstly, it's difficult to distinguish the enemy, and secondly, he ultimately only possesses a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements.

This discrimination based on spiritual roots has always existed; if he were to visit them, he would definitely be discriminated against.

Chen He was not happy with such a humiliating transaction, so Shen Xianzi was a better choice.

……

A month after Liu Jun became a steward of Fire Spirit Mountain, Chen He took Chen Miao to the cultivation room again and successfully contracted their fifth spirit beast.

This is a water-attribute spirit fox with a blue tail. It has an innate ability to control water flow and possesses remarkable talent.

After the contract was successfully signed, Chen Miao had five beast-taming spirit patterns in his dantian, and they began to merge with the beast-taming spirit pattern of the white jade fox as the center.

The spiritual energy fed back by the spirit beasts increased, and the converted mana also increased, allowing Chen Miao's dantian to expand once again.

The larger the dantian, the more magical power it can hold, and the more magical power Chen Miao can mobilize.

She could even cast spells more easily, but she was still only at the first level of Qi Refining.

After it was all over, it was New Year's Day.

Before he knew it, Chen He had spent six years at the Lingxiao Immortal Sect.

Now in its seventh year, Chen He has turned twenty-three, yet he remains young.

Among the same batch of promising young immortals, apart from those who entered the inner sect, Chen He's cultivation speed was the fastest and his cultivation level was the highest.

Having already restored his energy channels, Chen He didn't rush to break through. Instead, he spent the New Year with his sister, and the two of them ate a second-tier spiritual meal.

Chen He also brought some spiritual fruits and made fruit drinks for her, and even crafted some small gadgets for her, which made Chen Miao very happy.

Not only that, Chen He also emptied the breeding room, filled in the pool, and built a fox den for the foxes to rest in.

They don't really like going to the pet pouch; it's dark and cramped inside, and not as comfortable as the breeding room.

With the fox den secured, Chen Miao breathed a sigh of relief. Now there were five spirit foxes, which were not only troublesome to take care of, but also required careful attention to their water supply.

Otherwise, the more sensitive fox spirits will get angry, throw tantrums if they show any favoritism, and even fight with other fox spirits.

You could say that the five fox spirits are like five children, and she has to take good care of them while also making sure they don't harbor any resentment, which takes a lot of her energy.

She asked her brother for help to make clothes for the five spirit foxes; the white jade fox was white, and the red spirit fox was fiery red.

The Blue-eyed Fox is green, the Golden Fox is golden, and the Water Fox is blue.

After they were all dressed in the clothes they had been made, the five spirit foxes became much cuter, like real pets rather than just simple spirit beasts.

The key is that Chen He crafts magical artifacts, and these clothes can grow larger as their bodies grow, and they even have their own cleaning magic.

This saved Chen Miao a lot of trouble, especially regarding hygiene. With more instruction, the five spirit foxes would be able to handle it themselves.

……

The cave remains sealed off.

On such a festive occasion as the New Year, Chen He refused to interact with others, even declining Shen Luoyu's invitation.

Lin Hongye is still trapped in the spirit field; she dares not leave, but she has now fully adapted.

According to Chen Miao, although Lin Hongye's cultivation level has not improved, her magic has improved a lot.

Spirit plant masters really can't live without spirit fields. It's very difficult to improve by relying solely on one's own cultivation. Lin Hongye knows this all too well.

Although she was not free during these six months, she gained new insights into spiritual plants, and the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, so she was happy to stay.

Even during the New Year period, she only contacted her fellow Daoists through the jade tablet, and even specially sent a gift to Chen Miao through the jade tablet.

Chen Miao was overjoyed and, after informing his elder brother, returned the favor with a gift of spirit fruit wine.

Chen He did not interfere with his sister's deal with Fairy Lin, and returning the gift was a normal courtesy.

After spending three days having fun with her younger sister Chen Miao, Chen He went to the cultivation room to cultivate in seclusion, and Chen Miao obediently did not disturb her.

After sealing off the cultivation room, Chen He slipped into Penglai Market, which was bustling with activity.

Not only in the Southern Region, but also in the Eastern Continent, people are celebrating the New Year. Many cultivators come here to trade, and there are even decorations in front of the stalls.

Chen He glanced at it but didn't pay any attention. After restocking his stall, he went to the top floor of Tianji Tower to cultivate in seclusion.

The power of authority sealed off the room. Chen He closed his eyes and meditated to regulate his emotions. Then he silently circulated his magic power to extract and refine the spiritual energy from the spirit stones.

The 130,000 spirit stones were drained, and a powerful spiritual energy was refined. The transformed magical power entered the meridians, acupoints, and energy channels from the dantian.

A sense of perfection emanated from Chen He's entire body, and then, naturally, his magical power circulated through his meridians, establishing an internal cycle.

Meridians are the pathways, acupoints are the transit points, and qi channels are the bridges, thus constructing a complex network of circulating magical energy within the body.

Once the network was completed, Chen He's internal magical power decreased by one-third, but his aura surged, and he achieved the fifth level of Qi Refining.

From then on, Chen He's meridians, acupoints, energy channels, and even his skin, flesh, and bones no longer existed in isolation, but were all connected to form a perfect whole.

Moreover, Chen He pushed every step to the extreme, resulting in a solid foundation. Breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm was almost instantaneous, a single step that marked a minor achievement.

Next, he only needs to sense the Xuan Guan point, break the internal cycle to understand the external cycle, and communicate with heaven and earth, and naturally achieve perfect circulation.

In the Qi Refining chapter of the Five Elements Returning to Origin Divine Canon, there is a special diagram of the Zhou Tian (circular celestial system).

Chen He glanced at it and ignored it. His current cultivation of the Heavenly Cycle was far more perfect than the Heavenly Cycle Diagram.

It's even more complicated now. The Zhou Tian Diagram of this main cultivation method has lost its meaning. Its only remaining value is the explanation and description of the Xuan Guan Yi Qiao (mysterious gate).

The mysterious gateway is not inside the body, but outside; there are only two ways to open it.

One reason is that they possess strong mental power, allowing them to perceive things when they enter a state of enlightenment or emptiness.

Secondly, they possess abundant magical power. Within their exclusive Zhou Tian formation, they rely on their own magical power to withstand the pressure of the formation, and can perceive it even at its limit.

But for Chen He, there was no need for such trouble. As the master of the market, his power allowed him to do many things.

After his physical body was immobilized by the power of authority, Chen He used the power of authority to clearly sense the Xuan Guan acupoint.

He manipulated his magic power, touching it little by little, easily rotating it to open the key point, and the magic power flowed into it.

Chen He immediately sensed the situation in the entire room, but unfortunately, there was no spiritual energy in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Chen He could only use his magic power to refine the Xuan Guan aperture before leaving the market.

Back in his cultivation room in his cave, Chen He immediately sensed pure fire-elemental spiritual energy flowing into his Xuan Guan acupoint.

Chen He immediately entered a meditative state, and his cultivation level naturally reached the fifth level of Qi Refining perfection, with the inner and outer circulation fully completed.
