Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

Since condensing the Beast Taming Seed, Chen Miao's connection with the six jade foxes has deepened.

Without needing to speak, the six jade foxes obeyed and instinctively took their positions.

Together with Chen Miao, they formed a special battle formation. Once the formation was complete, their energy locked onto Chen He.

As the Red-tailed Fox and the Water Fox pounced from the left and right, the Golden Fox launched a fierce attack from the center.

The Earth Spirit Fox secretly casts a magical trap, while the Green-Eyed Fox manipulates plants to imprison the target.

Chen Miao used magic in conjunction with magical artifacts for a frontal attack, while the white jade fox exhaled a chilling breath as a final, deadly strike.

Upon seeing this, Chen He smiled slightly and vanished from the spot. The water and fire foxes missed their target, and all their spells were dodged.

"Brother, how did you do that?" Chen Miao asked incredulously, looking at Chen He who was holding her wrist beside her.

"It's the Five Elements Escape Technique," Gong Huixin said from behind. "It's a sophisticated escape technique that far surpasses ordinary ones. The headmaster is amazing."

"Five Elements Escape Technique?" Chen Miao blinked.

"Not bad," Chen He nodded slightly, released her and said, "Only those at the Zhou Tian Realm can cultivate. This is not your fault; it's just that your cultivation is not high enough. You are very strong among those at the same realm."

"I see." Chen Miao said with a sudden realization, but then added with some dissatisfaction, "Brother, couldn't you have just blocked it head-on? Let me practice properly."

"We have guests," Chen He said with a light laugh. "They'll practice with you from now on."

"Guests?" Chen Miao looked around curiously and saw a sword light flying in from afar.

Upon reaching the peak of the Fire Vein Mountain, the speed suddenly decreased, and a familiar figure appeared.

"Sister Pei?" Xiao Miao waved excitedly. It was Pei Yu who brought her to Chen He's cave back then, so she naturally felt a sense of closeness.

"Welcome to my humble abode, Fairy Pei," Chen He said with a light laugh as she stepped forward.

"The Fire Vein is Grade A, seventh level. If this cave dwelling is considered a humble abode, it would probably make many people feel ashamed," Pei Yu said with a smile upon landing.

"Please come in quickly." Chen He welcomed her into the hospital.

Xiao Miao walked over, took Pei Yu's arm, and they entered Tianhe Courtyard together.

In the living room, everyone sat down, and Gong Huixin and Lingyu personally served tea.

Pei Yu smiled when he saw Gong Huixin and said to Chen He, "Do you regret rejecting the Gong family for this woman? The Gong family is still useful."

She saw Lin Hongye's message as soon as she came out of the pass, and naturally knew what had happened.

Gong Huixin stood still, but secretly clenched her fists tightly. These words were somewhat like killing someone's spirit, but she couldn't refute them.

Back when she was in the outer sect, she didn't take Pei Yu seriously at all, thinking he was just a brainless sword fanatic.

Now, their positions have been reversed. With Chen He's help, Pei Yu has successfully advanced to the inner sect and joined Lingxiao Mountain as an inner sect disciple.

But she became Chen He's servant, bound to him for eternity, unable to escape; to put it bluntly, she was a prisoner.

Given her original pride, this was unacceptable, but now she has no choice but to accept it, and even listen attentively.

"I don't want to get involved in these troublesome things," Chen He said with a smile and a shake of his head. "You know me, I just want to make deals."

"What a pity," Fairy Pei sighed, "I joined the sect too late. Lingxiao Mountain already has a candidate for inner disciple."

She naturally understood Chen He's meaning. If she wanted to compete for the position of true disciple, Chen He would definitely choose the Gong family, not Gong Huixin.

She herself actually wanted to compete for the true master, but she was a battle maniac but not really brainless, so she naturally knew right from wrong.

She abandoned her unrealistic fantasies and made her own choice.

"Just take it. What's so scary about that, given your personality?" Chen He said.

"Stop teasing me," Fairy Pei said speechlessly. "The true disciple candidate of Lingxiao Mountain is personally taught by the mountain lord, and he has a single spiritual root and a unique lightning-type spiritual root. How can I compare to such a person? I don't even have the slightest thought of competing with him."

"That's true," Chen He nodded slightly in agreement. "A genius cultivator like Ji Yunlei can indeed easily inspire despair. The only pity is that he comes from outside."

Ji Yunlei was a promising immortal from the previous generation. He was spotted by an elder of Lingxiao Mountain while traveling and brought back. His lightning spiritual root was detected, and he was directly accepted as a disciple of the mountain master, becoming a direct descendant of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect.

In just ten years, he went from an ordinary mortal to a master of Qi Refining.

Every step was taken steadily and calmly, laying a solid foundation without any rash moves.

He then deliberately honed his skills for another five years, and in the sixteenth year, he advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm. Now, in order to form a superior Golden Core, he has suppressed his cultivation to the Purple Mansion Perfection stage.

Such a person, if not for the position of true successor, would have made rapid progress and successfully formed the Golden Core long ago.

No one can deny his talent.

Crucially, he is also extremely charismatic, and everyone on Lingxiao Mountain speaks highly of him.

Inner disciples also voluntarily followed, and a group of sword cultivators also joined on their own initiative.

It now seems that even Fairy Pei has given up resisting and genuinely accepted the other party.

The only flaw of this genius cultivator is that he is not from the Southern Region.

Perhaps this is not a disadvantage for other cultivators, but in Lingxiao Mountain, where lineage and status are highly valued, it still has an impact.

Other potential disciples would naturally use this as an excuse to attack, and no one could expect them to show mercy; this was Ji Yunlei's Achilles' heel.

"Identity flaws are nothing. As long as Senior Brother Ji isn't vying for the position of sect leader," Fairy Pei raised an eyebrow, "everything is fine. He can even take on a mere true disciple."

"You think highly of him," Chen He said softly. "I wonder, between Ji Yunlei and Hou Tianpeng, who is more capable?"

"Hou Tianpeng?" Pei Yu thought for a moment and said, "The two have never directly fought, but Senior Brother Ji is likely to be a step ahead, as lightning magic cultivators are inherently very strong."

Chen He nodded in agreement.

Lightning spirit roots are indeed rare; once one focuses on cultivation, one will naturally become a lightning magic cultivator.

Lightning magic practitioners differ from ordinary lightning spells; every strand of their magic power contains lightning attributes, making their attacks extremely domineering.

"Would Fellow Daoist Chen be willing to meet Senior Brother Ji?" Pei Yu asked with a smile. "I can act as an intermediary. Senior Brother Ji will be holding a gathering at his cave in about half a month."

"I won't go. My master instructed me to focus on cultivation," Chen He waved his hand. "However, I'd be happy to make a deal."

"I knew it," Pei Yu said. "One of the reasons I came to you was to make a deal. I've already found a few cultivators who need them, but they don't want spirit stones; instead, they need more spiritual artifacts and talismans."

Purple Mansion cultivators generally don't lack spirit stones, but they lack third-tier spirit weapons and some third-tier talismans, which are very valuable resources.

"Of course," Chen He said. "Some high-quality talismans were put up in the market, and I happened to buy some. I can sell them to anyone. As for spiritual artifacts, I only have low-grade ones at the moment."

There are also talisman masters selling talismans in the market, and there are quite a few third-tier talismans. Selling them at a price slightly higher than the market price is perfectly fine.

Compared to third-tier talismans, third-tier spiritual artifacts are indeed rare, as they are third-tier resources and the competition is quite fierce.

"That's enough." Pei Yu nodded in satisfaction. "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I'm here on behalf of Senior Brother Ji to seek a deal with you."

Originally, the plan was to invite Chen He to Lingxiao Mountain and persuade him to join Ji Yunlei's camp, since Chen He was, after all, an inner disciple.

Once Chen He successfully gets on the bus, he can get the help of the Five Old Peaks, which will be of great benefit to Ji Yunlei.

Since Chen He didn't have this idea, Pei Yu didn't force him, but there was still a need for the transaction, as Senior Brother Ji needed resources.

To be promoted to a true disciple, Senior Brother Ji needs to build a team, which requires resources to support him, without sacrificing his own interests.

Chen He was a very good tool, and the key was that Pei Yu had a relationship with him, which is why Pei Yu made this trip.
