For several days in a row, Chen He did not speak to Gong Huixin. Instead, Chen Miao treated Gong Huixin like a maid, ordering her to do this and that every day without any courtesy.

Gong Huixin was also very patient. As a female cultivator from the Gong family, she was used to a life of luxury and had never been bossed around before.

But she showed no dissatisfaction and obediently listened to Chen Miao's words, doing whatever she was told without the slightest reluctance.

This made Chen Miao lose interest, and after three days, he stopped asking her to do it and started playing with the foxes himself.

Five days later, Chen He went out to meet Shen Luoyu and completed the transaction.

Shen Luoyu contacted him very frequently, fearing that Chen He might not be available for the transaction.

After confirming that Chen He would continue trading, she became more proactive in contacting fellow Daoists to trade, fearing that she would miss this opportunity.

She needs to raise two spirit beasts and break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which requires a lot of resources.

Without Chen He's deal, she would have returned to her previous predicament, which she desperately wanted to avoid.

The important thing is that she wants the fire from the wood. Even if she can't afford a fourth-tier fire seed, a third-tier spirit beast primordial fire seed is still something she needs.

Currently, the only way she can obtain the spark is through Chen He, so she naturally wants to seize the opportunity.

Many cultivators change their attitude after entering the inner sect, which is quite normal. Shen Luoyu was afraid that Chen He would change his attitude.

Fortunately, Chen He was still the same Chen He. After a careful conversation, she left feeling very relieved and glad that she had met Chen He.

That's the kind of monk you can trust.

Moreover, the two had agreed that they could trade through jade tablets in the future.

Both of them opened up the Jade Tablet Space, which allows them to trade items directly. It's convenient and fast, but private transactions require spending some contribution points, only a few merit points per transaction.

Both parties can afford it, which can save a lot of time. Of course, mutual trust is necessary to complete the transaction.

If it were just a normal relationship, Chen He wouldn't even mention it.

The Jade Tablet Space itself does not come with an appraisal function; you can only appraise it yourself after the transaction is completed.

If the goods provided by Shen Luoyu are fake, then the transaction cannot proceed.

Chen He is now an inner disciple, so he is not afraid of Shen Luoyu causing trouble.

Not to mention an outer disciple like Shen Luoyu, even an inner disciple wouldn't easily offend someone, let alone someone like him.

Shen Luoyu also said that in future transactions, she would take the initiative to trade items, and would only accept spirit stones after Chen He had appraised them.

Chen He naturally had no objection to this, since he wouldn't lose out no matter what.

After completing the transaction with Shen Luoyu, Chen He went to meet Liu He.

The two sat down to drink and chat.

Chen He encouraged him to advance to the second-tier intermediate weapon refiner as soon as possible.

At that time, we can also open up the Jade Tablet space, which will make everything more convenient.

Liu He was also spurred on. Although he was surprised that Chen He had entered the inner sect, he was not discouraged and subsequently chose to go into seclusion.

One reason was to keep up with Chen He's pace.

Secondly, it's for the purpose of transactions.

He also needs resources to cultivate, and Liu Jun can't protect him forever.

He had also experienced many things and knew that improving his cultivation was the most important thing.

So when Chen He encouraged him, he became motivated and didn't want to fall behind.

During this time, Liu Jun also sent a message, wanting to meet and talk about future transactions.

Chen He refused outright; he didn't want Liu Jun to become a separate person between him and Liu He.

His relationship with Liu He was simple: they were friends and business partners.

Chen He didn't want to involve too many people; he just wanted to maintain a simple and pure relationship.

Liu Jun was also a shrewd person. After understanding Chen He's meaning, he stopped contacting him.

……

Back in the inner sect, Chen He visited the Hall of Affairs and was certified as a second-tier advanced alchemist.

He can still take on alchemy tasks, but in the inner sect, the requirements for alchemy tasks are higher, all requiring high-grade second-tier pills.

Chen He was naturally not afraid; it was already quite good to be able to accumulate merit points through alchemy tasks.

It is something that many cultivators sent to other places dream of, and others can't help but envy.

Among the inner disciples, the personal disciples have the highest authority. They don't have any tasks if their cultivation level is too low. Even if Chen He doesn't do alchemy tasks, it's fine, since he is only a Qi Refining cultivator.

Chen He was not pressured by the merit points and treated the alchemy task as a pastime, accepting it without any pressure. Afterwards, he returned to the Fire Vein Peak.

When Chen He arrived at Tianhe Courtyard, he realized that a guest had arrived: Lin Hongye had actually come.

Chen Miao was entertaining her in the front yard. Gong Huixin stood beside Chen Miao, like a maid serving water, with a natural smile on her face.

"What brings Fairy Lin to my Tianhe Courtyard?" Chen He asked with a smile as she entered.

"It's all because of you," Lin Hongye chuckled. "When Master learned that I had a relationship with you, he asked me to visit you more often."

"Oh?" Chen He raised an eyebrow. "Am I that famous already?"

"Of course," Lin Hongye nodded and said very seriously, "The Fire Vein Elder is a powerful primordial spirit, a figure who has reached the heavens. His sudden acceptance of you as his personal disciple has caused quite a stir."

She wasn't exaggerating at all.

The majority of inner sect cultivators are at the Purple Mansion Realm; those at the Core Realm are extremely rare, let alone those at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Above the Infant Realm is the Primordial Spirit Realm, and cultivators of this realm are only heard of; very few have even actually seen one.

Chen He became the disciple of the Fire Vein Elder, which immediately caught the attention of many cultivators, though at first no one understood why.

After all, Chen He only possessed a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements, and it was only through the mercy of the elders of the Hall of Affairs that he was allowed to join the Lingxiao Immortal Sect.

Such a person without spiritual roots was suddenly chosen by a powerful primordial spirit, which must be extraordinary. It was only later that we learned he possessed the Penglai Token.

"Most people think that the Grand Elder values ​​you because of the Penglai Token," Lin Hongye said. "But my master doesn't think so. The Penglai Token is nothing to the sect, and a Nascent Soul Grandmaster wouldn't take on a disciple for something like that. So you must have some extraordinary abilities."

"What does Fairy Lin think?" Chen He asked with a smile, waving his hand to take out Cloud Mist Tea.

"Naturally, Fellow Daoist Chen's strength is extraordinary," Fairy Lin exclaimed. "You're already at the seventh level of Qi Refining, a second-tier advanced alchemist, stronger than all the cultivators of our generation. Doesn't that speak for itself?"

"Did Xiao Miao tell you that?"

"No," Lin Hongye shook her head. "The minimum requirements for the inner sect are the seventh level of Qi Refining and a second-level advanced skill. If you don't meet the requirements, even the elders can't accept you into the inner sect. This is an ironclad rule."

"I see." Chen He nodded.

"I have come here today to inform Fellow Daoist Chen of an important matter," Lin Hongye said, "concerning the identity of the man in black robes."

"You know?" Chen He sat up straight. "That person ambushed me twice, but both times he concealed himself. His cultivation level is much higher than mine."

"My master deduced that the person was likely a cultivator under Hou Tianpeng, an inner disciple of Ziyun Mountain," Lin Hongye said.

"Purple Cloud Mountain, an inner disciple? Hou Tianpeng?" Chen He looked puzzled. "I don't know him, and this is the first time I've ever heard of him."

"Fellow Daoist Gong should know the other party quite well," Lin Hongye said with a smile. "The Gong family has a Purple Mansion cultivator who lives on Purple Cloud Mountain."

"Tell me," Chen He said calmly, looking at Gong Huixin.

"Yes," Gong Huixin bowed slightly, then said, "Ziyun Mountain is an elder-ranking mountain like the Five Elders Peak."

"Hou Tianpeng is the top inner disciple of Ziyun Mountain and one of the candidates for the current generation of true disciples of Lingxiao Immortal Sect."

"The reason he's targeting you is definitely because of the Penglai Token. He went to Xuanshuang Peak himself before you even appeared."
