Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

With just a few words, the two finalized a cooperation agreement and even made a transaction on the spot.

Chen He exchanged talismans and magical artifacts for a batch of spirit stones and materials.

Pei Yu left with satisfaction.

Chen He took Xiao Miao and saw her off at the door.

After everyone disappeared, Chen Miao frowned and said, "Brother, Sister Pei seems to have changed a lot? It feels..."

"It's normal. Environment changes people," Chen He smiled. "She's an inner disciple now, and she's on Lingxiao Mountain. It's normal for her to become a bit arrogant and cold."

Lingxiao Mountain is a direct descendant of a sect, and the cultivators here are arrogant even towards their fellow disciples, so Pei Yu's change is not surprising.

"It might also be related to the cultivation method," He Lingyu said. "Some cultivation methods do affect one's temperament, and she seems to be in that situation, but the impact isn't significant."

He Lingyu was a disciple of the inner sect, having entered the inner sect earlier than Lin Hongye, and was considered quite knowledgeable.

"There's such a technique?" Chen Miao quickly shook her head. "Luckily, I can't cultivate it, otherwise I wouldn't want it."

"Don't worry unnecessarily," Chen He said, his smile fading. "Don't talk to Pei Yu too much in the future, and don't reveal many things to others. Don't let them trick you into revealing anything, understand?"

"I understand." Chen Miao nodded and said seriously, "She's not the Pei sister I know, so I won't tell her everything."

My younger sister is no naive girl; she grew up in Sixiang City and has seen a lot of things.

For her, her brother was the most important person, and everyone else had to come second.

Even Lin Hongye doesn't chat as frequently as she used to.

It was Lin Hongye who took the initiative to contact her.

"That's good," Chen He said. "Call a few of them out to practice with Xiao Miao and see how well she's progressing with the sword formation."

"Okay." He Lingyu nodded.

She turned around and summoned twelve female cultivators, who then arrived at the Giant Stone Plaza.

Chen Miao set up a sword formation without any fear, and instead charged forward with excitement, leading the six jade foxes.

Chen He watched them fight with his hands behind his back, occasionally reminding Chen Miao to stay calm when facing the enemy.

"The Heavenly Gang Sword Formation taught by the academy master is extremely exquisite," He Lingyu said. "Everyone practices it day and night, and we have only achieved a little bit of success so far. We lack real combat experience."

This is a sword formation that Chen He taught to build his team; it takes thirty-six people to unleash its full power.

This sword formation can be scaled down to twenty-four people, twelve people, six people, three people, two people, or even one person can form the formation.

The key issue is that the difficulty of cultivation increases as the number of participants decreases. Currently, the most easily mastered formation is the Thirty-Six Person Sword Formation.

They were already quite proficient in the 24-person and 12-person sword formations, but if they were to further reduce the number of people involved, it would be extremely difficult to successfully master them.

"What are your thoughts?" Chen He asked. "Just tell me directly."

"We can take them hunting on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains," He Lingyu said. "Especially the northwest mountain range, beyond which lies the plains, where many demonic beasts gather."

"The mountains on the northwest side?" Gong Huixin's eyes flickered. "I remember it was a restricted area set up by the sect using an array?"

"That's right," He Lingyu nodded. "The sect occupies the Hundred Thousand Mountains and marks all the resources. Among them, the resources of demon beasts have not been abandoned, but have been arranged on the northwest side."

Monsters are also a resource, and a rather precious one at that.

Materials for alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making can all be found on demonic beasts, especially primordial beast fire.

"You can take on missions to hunt monsters over there," Gong Huixin said. "If you want to keep a low profile, you can have all twelve of them go out together in turns."

"No rush," Chen He squinted his eyes, "Let's wait until I break through to the Purple Mansion level. We can't act rashly right now."

He Lingyu and Gong Huixin exchanged a glance, neither of them saying a word. They knew what Chen He was wary of, and they approved of his choice.

Tianhe Institute has abundant resources and can easily support this group of people.

Moreover, the thirty-six female cultivators that Chen He chose all had their own cultivation techniques, which allowed them to continue to improve.

At that time, they can earn merit points and complete sect missions.

The alchemist went to refine elixirs.

The weapon refiner went to refine weapons.

Beast tamers keep spirit beasts.

A talisman master can create talismans.

They can continue to hone their skills while earning merit points, or trade with Chen Qishan to earn spirit stones.

Another reason is that the female cultivators are not very strong, all of them are below the sixth level of Qi Refining, so there is no need for them to take risks.

Chen He doesn't need to get involved in the competition for the true disciples, and he doesn't need female cultivators to risk their lives for him; he can just lie low.

He has resources, platforms, and channels, and as time goes on, his resources will increase.

Take your time!

……

The battle ended in Chen Miao's defeat; the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation was simply too powerful.

This was because the female cultivators lacked a proper understanding of the sword formation, and only managed to unleash a small portion of its power.

If they had spent more time practicing sword formations, they probably could have taken them down immediately.

Chen Miao was not discouraged. Instead, from that day on, she insisted on fighting them every day.

She honed her skills with the spirit fox within the sword formation, finding her own rhythm in combat.

And gradually developed his own fighting style, which yielded significant results.

The main reason was that Chen He not only supported her, but also found some insights into beast taming in the library and constantly taught and guided her on various issues.

Chen Miao was hardworking and eager to learn, so she made great progress. She learned the combat tactics of the Beast Tamer, treating the spirit beasts as soldiers and herself as generals.

By skillfully employing combat tactics and developing different combat skills with the spirit fox, her combat ability has been greatly improved.

Besides teaching Chen Miao, Chen He also guided the other women in their cultivation.

He Lingyu is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so there's no need for him to guide her; she just needs to continue her cultivation.

With his investment and guidance, Gong Huixin broke through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level in three days.

She advanced from the Transformation Sea Realm to the Condensation Mist Realm, finally breaking through the shackles.

The main reason is that Chen He provided enough spirit stones, and the spiritual energy concentration in Tianhe Courtyard is also high.

Finally, his magic power was fully replenished, and he was able to break through naturally; otherwise, he would have had to wait.

Chen He even personally joined the fray, battling against the female cultivators and assisting them in cultivating their sword formations.

The women were initially cautious, but even when all thirty-six of them formed the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, they still couldn't defeat Chen He.

This result made them feel bad, so they became more motivated to train. Chen He was generous with his guidance and often sparred with them.

He also shuffled them, letting the women familiarize themselves with the location of each sword formation.

They were then divided into groups of six or three to compete against each other.

It didn't go smoothly at first, but Chen He was able to point out the problems and help them adjust on their own.

Over time, their mastery of the sword formation deepened day by day.

Later, Chen Miao and Gong Huixin joined them and practiced the sword formation together.

Chen He didn't expect them to be able to integrate into the group, but they needed to be familiar with the sword formation, know the directions, and how to coordinate so that they could use it in case of trouble and not hold them back.

In addition to these, Chen He also took out some spells and techniques from the market and set up his own scripture library in Tianhe Courtyard.

The female cultivators are free to browse and study the materials, which will enhance their knowledge and understanding.

After finishing these tasks, Chen He went to the alchemy room to refine pills and accumulate merit points.

He is now a second-tier advanced alchemist, and all the pills he refines are second-tier advanced.

More merit points mean more elixirs left behind.

During the transaction with Shen Luoyu, the demand for high-grade second-tier pills surged.
