Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

"To inner sect cultivators, outer sect disciples are nothing at all."

Gong Huixin couldn't help but say, "Even if everyone knows it was his people who did it, no one will make things difficult for him; his foundation is already solid."

There might have been someone secretly watching the ambush of Chen He.

It wasn't for Chen He, but to clean up the traces left by Hou Tianpeng's men.

"So what?" he said coldly.

"The wisest choice is to pretend nothing happened and let time do its work," Gong Hui said wisely.

"Time, heh!" Chen He smiled but didn't speak. His cold eyes made Gong Huixin feel uneasy.

"Gong Huixin!" he said.

"Yes!" Gong Huixin bowed her head.

"I want you to select suitable cultivators and have them voluntarily join Tianhe Academy," Chen He said calmly. "Only female cultivators."

"I wonder if there are any requirements regarding cultivation level?" Gong Huixin asked earnestly.

"I have only two requirements," Chen He said calmly. "First, I want female cultivators; second, everyone must voluntarily submit to me, be branded with the Heavenly He mark, and have their lives and deaths controlled by me."

"That's very simple," Gong Huixin said immediately. "If there's no requirement for spiritual roots, many female cultivators in the outer sect would be happy to join."

Didn't you see that Lin Hongye was eager to join them?

The conditions at Tianhe Academy are too good. Being a disciple of Chen He is much better than being a nominal disciple. The benefits are far greater, and female outer sect cultivators flock to it.

"I need you to gather twenty-four people within a month," Chen He said calmly. "Once these twenty-four people join, you'll be the butler. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Gong Huixin immediately replied. She did not ask why, nor did she question whether Tianheyuan could afford to support them.

She completely submitted to Chen He, and everything about her future was in his hands.

This clear-headed understanding made her realize that she had no right to say anything against it, much less the right to question it.

Moreover, her status as a housekeeper meant that she was not an unknown figure in Tianhe Courtyard.

Therefore, after Chen He got up and left, she immediately began to actively use the jade tablet to contact suitable people, giving priority to acquaintances.

……

Gong Huixin was very efficient; in just seven days, she found twelve female cultivators, all of whom were at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Four of them came from Five Elements Mountain: a plant master, a puppeteer, a celestial music master, and a celestial dance master. They had long known of Chen He's great name.

He was simply intimidated by Gong Huixin's name and never took the initiative to contact her or make a deal.

They were all classmates with Gong Huixin and knew all too well the power Gong Huixin wielded in the outer sect, especially at Five Elements Mountain.

This time, Gong Huixin took the initiative to invite them, and the four women chose to join without any hesitation.

Rather than wasting away the years in the outer sect with no hope of future breakthroughs, it's better to just find a powerful backer.

The other eight female cultivators were also fellow immortal seedlings of Gong Huixin.

They came from different mountains and included talisman masters, spirit chefs, array masters, and so on, except for sword cultivators.

Everyone shared the same thought: Gong Huixin's invitation gave them an opportunity, and none of them hesitated at all.

Gong Huixin personally went to the Hall of Affairs at the Five Old Peaks to fetch them to Tianhe Courtyard in the Fire Vein.

All twelve female cultivators' jade tablets were marked with the mark of the Tianhe Academy of the Fire Vein of the Five Elders Peak.

From this day forward, they, like Gong Huixin, became cultivators of Tianhe Academy.

Chen He's interests are their interests, and they must obey Chen He's orders.

A true sense of shared prosperity and shared loss is more effective than any contract.

On the first day of joining, Chen He handed over the twelve people to Gong Huixin for management.

He also gave them twelve magic swords, twelve sets of high-level magic artifacts, and taught them a second-tier high-level sword formation, urging them to familiarize themselves with and master it as soon as possible.

Every morning, Gong Huixin would lead them to practice sword formations in the front yard.

They were only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, not yet at the seventh level, so practicing formations was still a bit difficult for them, but they were all persevering.

They didn't want to disappoint Chen He.

This man was their only support in the future. They were disappointed that they couldn't complete the first order. Not only was Chen He disappointed, but they were also disappointed.

Therefore, he practiced the sword formation very diligently.

The rest of the time was spent practicing their own skills or cultivating in their rooms.

Under Gong Huixin's arrangement, someone accompanied Chen Miao to play every day.

Chen He stayed in the cultivation room and did not come out.

Chen Miao used to have a lot of opinions about Gong Huixin, but as time went by, she gradually accepted Gong Huixin.

Regardless of past grievances, Gong Huixin is now her brother's maid.

He is the housekeeper of Tianhe Courtyard.

Out of consideration for Gong Huixin's guidance in magic, Chen Miao accepted her, but the knot in his heart remained, and he still occasionally gave her a cold shoulder.

She actually got along very well with the twelve female cultivators, and she was the happiest after Tianhe Academy added more cultivators.

Even the six jade foxes have their help feeding them, which makes her life so much easier.

……

Lin Hongye was unhappy.

She thought her relationship with Chen He was stable, and that she was even closer to Chen Miao.

Unexpectedly, Chen Miao stopped contacting her after only a week.

The frequency of their conversations decreased sharply, and the warmth they once shared was gone.

Lin Hongye also learned that Tianhe Academy had added twelve new female cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

She was completely dumbfounded.

She hadn't expected Chen He to act so quickly, which made her grit her teeth inwardly.

She attributed everything to Gong Huixin; this woman must be full of evil intentions, trying to scheme against Chen He and Chen Miao. She couldn't let it go so easily.

After thinking for two days, Lin Hongye took the initiative to make her move.

She started with the wood veins, actively contacting Qi Refining disciples or Purple Mansion Realm cultivators.

Learn from Shen Luoyu: proactively contact clients with needs, and then conduct transactions with Chen He.

In just two weeks, she achieved considerable success, expanding her trading partners from the wood veins to the entire Five Old Peaks, and some people even came to her on their own initiative.

Lin Hongye knew why; these cultivators simply wanted to befriend Chen He through her.

But she wouldn't give them a chance, only telling outsiders that Chen He didn't meet with outsiders and that only she could make the deal.

Some cultivators were skeptical, while others trusted her completely. With this, Lin Hongye acquired a batch of supplies and couldn't wait to go to the Fire Vein Heavenly Harmony Academy to trade with Chen He.

The jade tablet, transformed into a celestial bird, flew close to the ground, and she dismounted from the celestial bird.

The fairy bird transformed into a jade tablet and landed in her hand. Lin Hongye arrived at the entrance of Tianhe Courtyard.

The courtyard gate opened, and two female cultivators greeted her as she entered. Lin Hongye remained expressionless, but her eyes swept over them with a rather sharp gaze.

Even though they were prepared and knew that Tianhe Garden had added new cultivators, they still didn't expect Gong Huixin to act so quickly.

In less than three weeks, Gong Huixin had gathered twenty-four female cultivators, meeting Chen He's requirements.

Even after consulting Chen He, twelve more female cultivators were added.

Currently, there are thirty-six female cultivators in Tianhe Academy, among whom the one with the highest cultivation level is He Lingyu, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

She became Gong Huixin's deputy.

When Lin Hongye entered, Gong Huixin was playing with Chen Miao by the lake.

He Lingyu stood beside Chen He, quietly watching Lin Hongye enter the room.

"Welcome, Fairy Lin. Please have some tea," Chen He said lazily, sitting in a rocking chair.

"No need for tea, I'm here to make a deal," Lin Hongye said with a hint of bitterness. "Senior Brother Chen is certainly enjoying himself."

"Not at all," Chen He laughed, "Tianhe Courtyard is too big, it always needs someone to help manage it, and Xiao Miao also needs someone to take care of her."

"Let's make the deal first," Lin Hongye said, taking out more than a dozen storage bags.

Chen He reached out and examined each item one by one, then stated the price. Lin Hongye was too lazy to argue and simply looked at him with her chin resting on her hand.
