Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Zhou Yiqiao quickly walked to the end of the passage, and the scene before him made him hold his breath.

This is a huge underground cave with countless stalactites hanging from the top. They are flashing red light under the firelight, like an upside-down forest of fire.

In the center of the cave is a winding fire vein, which lies there quietly like a sleeping fire dragon.

The magma in the fire veins flowed slowly, emitting a scorching temperature, filling the entire cave with a suffocating heat wave.

Despite this, the heat wave did not spread outward. It seemed to be restricted by some mysterious force and only circulated within this cave.

Zhou Yiqiao knew that although this ancient fire vein was not large, it contained extremely pure fire spiritual power, which was enough to support the alchemy needs of the Yanyang Sect.

Around the fire veins, there grow some spiritual plants with fire attributes. They thrive in the high temperature, and their leaves are a transparent fiery red, emitting a faint fluorescence.

Zhou Yiqiao approached the fire vein cautiously. He could feel the power contained in the fire vein.

This is a violent yet pure energy. If it can be used properly, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to alchemists.

He carefully observed the direction of the fire vein and the surrounding environment, and began to think about how to take away the power of this fire vein.

Although this fire vein is not large, it is not easy to remove it completely. It requires the use of some special magic tools and formations.

Zhou Yiqiao took out some formation flags and formation plates from his storage bag. These were tools he had prepared in advance and were specifically used to move spirit veins.

He inserted the formation flags into the ground around the fire veins according to a specific pattern, then activated the formation plate and began to mobilize the power of the fire veins.

As the formation was activated, the magma in the fire veins began to slowly rotate, forming a huge vortex.

Zhou Yiqiao formed seals with his hands, injected his own spiritual power into the formation, and guided the power of the fire veins to converge on the formation.

This process requires great patience and precise control. Any carelessness may cause a riot in the fire veins, resulting in unpredictable consequences.

But Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual awareness was strong, and his control over spiritual power was extremely precise. He carefully guided the power of the fire veins, gradually condensing it into a ball of pure fire spiritual power.

This process lasted for a long time. Zhou Yiqiao was concentrating on the operation. Even though sweat was running down his pupils, he was not distracted at all.

Finally, after a long period of effort, the power of the fire vein was successfully condensed into a fist-sized fiery red spirit ball.

"call!"

When the spirit ball took shape, Zhou Yiqiao finally dared to let out a long breath, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

He stared at the fiery red spirit ball in his hand, which contained amazing fire spiritual power, like a small sun, warm and hot.

"Old buddy, it's up to you now."

Zhou Yiqiao whispered to himself, then stretched out his right hand and wiped the space beside him.

The next moment, a space fluctuation surged, and a huge medicine cauldron was grabbed out of the void space by Zhou Yiqiao.

The blood and energy in the medicine cauldron were surging. It was the Fiery Sun Divine Cauldron that had been accompanying Zhou Yiqiao since Yanzhou!

Thanks to the Blood Demon's Heart Core given by his senior brother, Zhou Yiqiao was able to find a large amount of spiritual materials and upgraded the Fiery Sun Divine Cauldron to a fourth-tier magical weapon.

But what is the Blood Demon's Heart Core?

It is one of the top-quality fires that all alchemists dream of. It contains not only violent blood power, but also the ultimate control and purification ability of fire.

The reason why the Fiery Sun Divine Cauldron was only upgraded from the third level to the fourth level was because of the limitations of the spiritual materials that Zhou Yiqiao could provide and Zhou Yiqiao's own cultivation.

Zhou Yiqiao knew that the potential of the Blood Demon's Heart Core was far from being fully realized. It was hidden deep in the core of the Fiery Sun Cauldron, like a sleeping heart, waiting to be awakened.

Today, with the help of the power of this ancient fire vein, it is the perfect time to awaken the Blood Demon's heart core and help the Fiery Sun Cauldron break through to become an acquired ancient treasure.

Zhou Yiqiao threw the fiery red spirit ball with one hand and placed it in the center of the Lieyang Divine Cauldron.

As soon as the spirit ball entered the cauldron, it suddenly shone brightly, and the entire cauldron began to vibrate slightly, making a low humming sound.

He quickly bit his fingertip, forced out a drop of blood, and merged it into the spirit ball.

The essence and blood entered the ball, and the fire spiritual power in the ball seemed to have received some kind of guidance. It began to flow in the cauldron and resonated with the formation on the wall of the cauldron.

The wall of the Fiery Sun Cauldron was engraved with dense array patterns. Under the stimulation of spiritual power, these array patterns lit up one by one, emitting a red-gold glow.

As time passed, the light became brighter and brighter, and the entire cave was filled with this red-gold light.

Zhou Yiqiao could feel that the Blood Demon's heart core was gradually awakening, and its power, stimulated by the power of the fire veins, began to release powerful fluctuations.

Fluctuations emanated from the core of the Fiery Sun Cauldron. Every vibration seemed to resonate with the heaven and earth. The temperature in the cave suddenly rose, and even the air began to distort, forming circles of heat wave ripples.

Finally, after the strongest vibration, the blood-red light of the Fiery Sun Cauldron reached its peak!

Zhou Yiqiao's expression became serious. He waved his hands and countless spiritual lights flew out of his storage bag.

Fire spirit stones, red flame iron mother, Phoenix Paulownia wood, and various rare spirit woods and spirit irons, these precious materials circled in the air, pulled by Zhou Yiqiao's powerful spiritual power, and fell into the Lieyang Divine Cauldron one by one with precision.

As more spiritual materials were added, the vibration of the Fiery Sun Cauldron became more obvious, and the buzzing sound became louder and louder.

Zhou Yiqiao was concentrating on controlling the entire process. The Fiery Sun Divine Cauldron was now in a critical period of transformation, and any mistake might lead to failure in advancement.

Under Zhou Yiqiao's precise control, the essence of the spiritual material was completely extracted and perfectly integrated with the power of the Blood Demon's heart core, the spiritual power of the ancient fire veins and the spiritual power of the Fiery Sun Cauldron itself.

This kind of fusion not only requires powerful spiritual power manipulation skills, but also a deep understanding of the properties of various spiritual materials, but fortunately Zhou Yiqiao is adept at both.

As time passed, the transformation of the Fiery Sun Cauldron finally entered its final stage.

Zhou Yiqiao could feel that the power within the cauldron had reached a critical point, and only the last step was needed to achieve a qualitative leap.

He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. This blood was different from the previous drop. It contained all his cultivation and spiritual imprint.

The essence and blood turned into a long blood-red rainbow in the air and was instantly injected into the Fiery Sun Divine Cauldron.

At this moment, the entire cave was shrouded in a powerful pressure, as if a power beyond the mundane was awakening here.

The Fiery Sun Divine Cauldron let out a deafening roar, blood and energy surged in the cauldron, and a red-gold light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire cave like daylight.

Stimulated by this power, the spirit ball in the cauldron was completely integrated into the core of the divine cauldron and became one with the power of the blood demon's heart core.
