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

In the moonstone space, Zhou Yiqiao's soul appeared above the floating island.

In the center of the floating island, the Changsheng Gate stands tall.

As the hub for controlling the Moonstone space, Zhou Yiqiao placed it at the center of the floating island after the last terrain modification.

Surrounding the Changsheng Gate, countless spiritual fields are spread out in an orderly manner.

Various rare spiritual plants are planted in the spiritual fields. They grow rapidly in the special environment of the moonstone space, emitting bursts of refreshing fragrance.

Zhou Yiqiao did not linger on the beautiful scenery. His eyes quickly swept around and finally stopped on a piece of vacant land.

This piece of land is located on the edge of Changsheng Gate. The soil is fertile and rich in spiritual energy. It was a place that Zhou Yiqiao deliberately left vacant for use in ripening spiritual herbs in emergency situations.

Recently, this place is needed to cultivate the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass.

He walked forward, carefully buried the seeds of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass in the soil, and then began to set up the spiritual formation.

This spiritual formation was carefully summarized by Zhou Yiqiao after hundreds of years of practice in ripening spiritual plants. It can significantly improve the conversion efficiency of spiritual power in spiritual stones, allowing the soil to absorb these spiritual powers more fully, thereby better accelerating the growth of spiritual plants.

The arrangement of this formation is extremely energy-consuming. Zhou Yiqiao is fully focused and does not dare to be careless in the slightest.

As the spirit formation was gradually completed, Zhou Yiqiao began to embed the spirit stones.

After Zhou Yiqiao's multiple upgrades, the Moonstone Space has reduced a lot of spirit stone consumption.

However, the quality of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass is extremely high, and the number of spirit stones required is still not cheap.

Pieces of spiritual stones were embedded in the spiritual formation, and spiritual energy slowly flowed into the soil, nourishing the seeds of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass.

As time passed, Zhou Yiqiao's expression gradually became solemn.

The spirit stones were being consumed faster than he had expected, and his spirit stone reserves were decreasing at an alarming rate.

Although Zhou Yiqiao was anxious, he did not stop his hands.

Half an hour later, beads of sweat began to appear on Zhou Yiqiao's forehead.

The Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass was a bottomless pit of unknown depth. Even though most of Zhou Yiqiao's spirit stones had been consumed, it could only barely break through the soil and grow a tiny sprout.

Fortunately, there is no rule that spiritual plants must be ripened in one go. After "feeding" all the remaining spiritual stones in the storage bag to the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass in front of him, Zhou Yiqiao looked at the tender buds that finally sprouted, sighed, and exited the Moonstone Space.

"I didn't expect that the ripening of the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass would consume so much spiritual energy."

Zhou Yiqiao stroked his chin and thought about countermeasures in his mind.

According to the current ripening degree, Zhou Yiqiao made a simple estimate and found that if the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass is to reach the standard of maturity for picking, it would probably require several times the spirit stones and resources currently invested.

If it were an ordinary day, he would only need to work hard for a while to refine a large number of high-level pills and put them on the market, and he could easily earn back these spirit stones.

But the current situation is special. He fled to the territory of Wuzhou in order to avoid being punished by the Great Elder. Before he is sure that the Great Elder will not track him down, he cannot appear in public, let alone refine pills for sale.

Zhou Yiqiao paced back and forth in the cave, thinking about a solution.

The excuse he gave to the Flame Scale Demon Emperor was to escort the Sky Demon tribe members back to their base, so he was destined not to disappear for too long. He had to find a new source of spirit stones as soon as possible to ensure that the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass could be ripened before the return deadline.

He quickly considered various possible methods in his mind, but each one had its risks and limitations.

Finally, his eyes fell on the vast demon area of ​​Zoroastrianism.

There are monsters and demons everywhere here, and there are many demon cultivators. If we can hunt down some of them and obtain their spirit stones and resources, we may be able to solve the current predicament.

Although this idea is risky, for Zhou Yiqiao at the moment, it is the most feasible option among many dangerous situations.

His own strength far exceeds that of other monks of the same age, and he is completely capable of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

As long as he avoids demon cultivators whose strength far exceeds his own, this method is not dangerous for him.

"Okay, let's do it!"

After some hesitation, Zhou Yiqiao made up his mind.

Zhou Yiqiao quietly left the cave and traveled through the wilderness of Zoroastrianism like a ghost.

He used the information he had learned from the Heavenly Demon Clan some time ago about the distribution of surrounding forces to avoid the territories of those powerful demon cultivators, and specifically looked for those lone demon cultivators or weaker tribes.

He first chose a small demon cultivator tribe as his target.

This tribe is located in a hidden valley and is inhabited by some demon cultivators who are not very powerful.

Zhou Yiqiao observed for a long time, and after confirming that there was no overly powerful existence, he began his action.

As the moonlight fell, Zhou Yiqiao sneaked into the tribe quietly.

The concealment technique derived from the Samsara Monument made him look like a wisp of smoke in the night, and did not attract the attention of any demon cultivator at all.

Taking into consideration that he would have to live under the rule of the Flame Scale Royal Family for some time in the future, his main purpose of this trip was to plunder spirit stones. As long as he was not discovered by the demon cultivators in the tribe, he had no intention of killing people.

With his spiritual consciousness released, he quickly found the tribe’s treasure house where spiritual objects were stored.

He did not rush into action, but instead carefully observed the restrictions surrounding the treasury.

After confirming that he could break these restrictions, Zhou Yiqiao began to take action, disarmed the outer alarm and entered the treasury.

Inside the treasury, rows of shelves are filled with various spirit stones and rare materials.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes swept across quickly, picking out those high-quality spirit stones and materials that might help ripen the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass.

His movements were swift and methodical, and every time he picked up an item, he would carefully place it into his storage ring.

During this process, Zhou Yiqiao remained highly vigilant to ensure that no alarms were triggered.

After collecting enough spirit stones and materials, Zhou Yiqiao checked the inside and outside of the treasury again to confirm that no traces were left or alarms were triggered. He then returned along the original route and exited the treasury.

The process of leaving the tribe was equally smooth. Zhou Yiqiao used the cover of night and concealment techniques to successfully avoid all patrolling demon cultivators and left the tribe quietly.

In the following days, many demon cultivator tribes within a thousand miles were visited by an unknown mysterious visitor.

This visitor was agile and sophisticated, and he was always able to accurately steal the spiritual stones and rare resources from the tribe without attracting large-scale attention.

For a time, various legends about "Phantom Thieves" spread throughout the demon territory of Zoroastrianism. Many weak demon tribes became even more panicked and stepped up patrols and defenses.

Fortunately, Zhou Yiqiao had already collected enough spirit stones and resources before, and retired from the underworld, no longer continuing his career as a "phantom thief".
