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

In Fengmingfang City, in a shop that sells spiritual weapons, Zhou Yiqiao, who has suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of foundation building, is buying spiritual weapons here.

He held a low-grade defensive spiritual weapon and asked the shopkeeper.

"How much is this black wooden shield worth?"

The shopkeeper took a look at Zhou Yiqiao's outfit and was a little unsure for a moment. His eyes rolled around and he spoke tentatively.

"Senior has good eyesight. This shield is a defensive spiritual weapon made from the second-grade spiritual wood Black Essence Wood. This shield is of high quality and can be regarded as a rare treasure among all low-grade spiritual weapons."

"Junior makes friends with senior and sells them for four thousand spiritual stones. I wonder what senior wants?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao slammed his storage bag, took out the Wind Sword, and said coldly.

"Does the shopkeeper think that I've just advanced to foundation building and it's easy to deceive me?"

When the shopkeeper saw the obviously higher-quality Gale Sword in Zhou Yiqiao's hand, he was deeply annoyed by his temporary greed and quickly made amends.

"Senior has misunderstood. This black wooden shield was indeed acquired by this junior from a weapon refiner with four thousand spirit stones."

"But today, I feel that I am quite destined to my senior, so I sold him to him for 2,500 spiritual stones!"

After hearing that the price was reasonable, Zhou Yiqiao did not bully others. After taking out a bag of spirit stones, he left the shop without looking back with a black wooden shield.

With a smile on his face, the shopkeeper watched Zhou Yiqiao out of sight and let out a long sigh of relief.

He wiped the fine cold sweat on his forehead, secretly glad that this senior was not a vicious person, otherwise he would have died long ago with his behavior.

Zhou Yiqiao, who was walking in the market at this time, naturally didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking. The reason why he didn't return to Phoenix Pavilion immediately was because he wanted to buy some more talismans and seals.

The Seven Kills Sword Technique is too fierce and vicious, it is an out-and-out demonic technique, and it cannot be used during the sect competition.

After such constant restrictions, Zhou Yiqiao found that he had almost no means left to fight the enemy, and was forced to purchase some treasures that could increase his immediate combat power.

He first purchased a large number of talismans such as Dragon Scroll Technique, Yi Shui Jue, Stone Skin Technique, etc. from a popular talisman and seal shop at the price of 50 spirit stones each, and then introduced them to him by the waiter in the store. Next, we went to a shop called Gojindo, which specializes in formation techniques.

In the past two years, Zhou Yiqiao has read through the formation annotations several times. Although he is still far from a true formation master, he can already easily arrange some simple formations to trap enemies.

The Imperial Formation Hall was opened in an extremely remote street. Because the formation techniques are more obscure than alchemy, there are very few people who are interested in it, and this shop is also empty.

There was only one old man with white hair and beard guarding the entire store.

The old man was lying leisurely on the bamboo chair. When he saw Zhou Yiqiao entering the shop, he had no intention of getting up.

"My little friend, what do you need when you come to our store?"

The old man's spiritual power returned to his original state. Zhou Yiqiao couldn't see clearly and bowed his hands.

"This junior is a disciple of the Phoenix Pavilion. I came here to find a formation to trap the enemy."

Hearing this, the old man waved gently, and a wooden box on the shelf floated in front of Zhou Yiqiao.

"Nine-curved Jade Flag Formation, anyone who is a beginner in formations can easily set up this formation."

"Ordinary foundation-building monks who have never been exposed to the formation can trap several breaths. The behavior of the monks in the formation will be slowed down dozens of times."

The old man said, and with a flick of his finger, the wooden box opened naturally, and the items in the box appeared in Zhou Yiqiao's sight.

Nine small black flags were neatly placed in the wooden box. The flags were made of jade, warm to the touch, and exuded a faint luster.

"There are five thousand spirit stones in this formation. After you buy it, I will teach you the driving method of this formation."

Zhou Yiqiao picked up a formation flag and tested it according to the method in the formation notes. After confirming the formation's effect, he took out five thousand spirit stones and handed them to the old man in front of him respectfully.

"Thank you for your advice, senior. I just need this set of formations."

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao buying the formation, the old man floated up from the bamboo chair.

He flew in front of Zhou Yiqiao, stretched out his right hand and touched Zhou Yiqiao's eyebrows, and a magic formula of the Royal Envoy Formation Flag was instantly transmitted into Zhou Yiqiao's mind.

Seeing that the old man possesses the initiation method that can only be used by Nascent Soul monks, Zhou Yiqiao became more and more respectful. Just as he was about to say a few compliments, he realized that he had appeared outside the shop.

"It seems he is a reclusive senior."

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself that since the senior didn't want to be disturbed, he left here knowingly.

Because the disciples of the Central Continent Saint Sect's Qinjian Villa are currently in the Phoenix Pavilion, the Saint Emperor has arranged a large number of royal guards within a radius of thousands of miles. Those who commit murder and cheat have no escape, so it can be said to be extremely safe.

The journey was calm and calm, and Zhou Yiqiao quickly returned to Suolongze.

After returning to the cave, he immediately went into seclusion to practice the black wooden shield and the nine formation flags, and was able to establish communication with the two treasures just in time for the opening of the competition.

……

"Junior Brother Zhou, please stop delaying. Your Suolong Ze and Fengchao are far apart. If you get there late, there will only be some seats at the back."

Yan Shaoyang stood outside Zhou Yiqiao's cave and shouted at the top of his lungs.

After Zhou Yiqiao confirmed that nothing was left behind, he walked out of the cave and couldn't help laughing when he saw Yan Shaoyang, who was wearing a red armor and wearing increasingly exaggerated clothes.

"Senior Brother Yan is so mobilizing troops and so many people, it seems that he is bound to win this competition."

Yan Shaoyang did not feel ashamed at all, but said proudly.

"After senior brother returned that day, he searched around for a long time through the relationship with Wufutang, and finally collected this high-grade spiritual weapon."

"Junior brother, don't look at how ugly these spiritual weapons are, but they are quite useful. They cost senior brother tens of thousands of spiritual stones. Of course they have to be worn to show off."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao felt dumbfounded.

"Then, junior brother, I wish senior brother a good ranking in advance."

Hearing this, Yan Shaoyang laughed and nodded, and then spoke after a while.

"Okay, without further ado, we'll set off immediately."

After saying that, he took out the black heavy sword.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, took out the Swift Wind Sword, and followed Yan Shaoyang to fly towards the Phoenix Nest in the center of the Phoenix Pavilion.

Along the way, the two met many fellow disciples who were also flying towards the Phoenix Nest.

Yan Shaoyang has been doing business for so many years, and there is almost no one he doesn't know in the entire Phoenix Pavilion. He kept chatting with people along the way, and the journey that originally only took one hour was delayed to two hours.

When the two arrived at Phoenix Nest, most of their fellow disciples had already arrived.

Yan Shaoyang was obsessed with his position in the front row. After whispering to the two monks who were in the early stages of foundation building, he successfully asked his two fellow disciples to give up their positions.
