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

On the evening of the third day, Baicao Weng sat alone in his medicine garden, holding a carefully cultivated magical herb in his hand, but his eyes involuntarily turned to the entrance of the garden.

According to the agreement, today is the day Zhou Yiqiao should return with the Nine-Curved Purple Rhythm Ginseng.

However, as the night deepened, Zhou Yiqiao still did not appear.

Baicao Weng shook his head slightly, as if he had anticipated Zhou Yiqiao's failure.

He talked to himself, his tone indeed sounded a little nervous.

"Could it be that the boy found out that he couldn't find the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng at all and left on his own?"

"No way, Qing Jimeng specifically asked me to give the spiritual herbs to her."

"If this guy leaves like this, won't that girl give me a bad face again?"

When he thought of this, the old man suddenly became anxious and released his spiritual sense, covering the entire Floating Light City.

However, what surprised him was that although Zhou Yiqiao's aura was in Fuguang City, he did not leave.

"Is this kid in danger?"

"If that's the case, then I really can't afford to offend Qing Jimeng this time."

The old man muttered to himself for a while, then slapped his head and quickly fled in the direction where Zhou Yiqiao was.

Baicao Weng's escape light quickly crossed the sky and arrived in front of the courtyard where Zhou Yiqiao was in the blink of an eye.

He retracted his escape light and landed in front of the courtyard gate. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he sensed that Zhou Yiqiao's breath was coming out of the house.

The old man straightened his robe, cleared his throat, and put on the demeanor of a senior master, with a calm and composed demeanor in his every move.

He was about to speak when he saw Zhou Yiqiao walking out of the room.

Zhou Yiqiao didn't expect that Baicao Weng would come in person. After a slight pause, he walked up to him with a smile.

"Senior, why are you here?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked, looking calm, as if he had expected it.

Baicao Weng coughed lightly, tried to maintain the dignity of a senior, and spoke slowly.

"My dear Zhou, I see that the date you agreed to meet has come, but you have not come to report, so I came to see you."

He paused and continued.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhou has found the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng?"

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, as if he had already prepared the answer.

"Replying to Senior, fortunately I have fulfilled my mission and Yiqiao has indeed found the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and a spiritual ginseng emitting a faint purple light appeared in his palm. It was the Nine-Curved Purple Ginseng.

Baicao Weng's gaze fell on the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

He knew better than anyone that there was no Nine-Curved Purple Rhythm Ginseng in Fuguang City.

In his opinion, this Nine-bend Purple Ginseng must have been a secret help from Qing Jimeng to Zhou Yiqiao, so that he would have been prepared before coming to Fuguang City.

"Qing girl, Qing girl, I thought it was you and I who were trying to trick this fool, but how come it turned out that you two youngsters are tricking an old guy like me."

The old man complained in his heart, his eyes full of disbelief.

But on the surface, he still tried to maintain the calm demeanor of a master, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

"This... Young Master Zhou is indeed someone that Qing Jimeng values. He is indeed extraordinary."

Baicaoweng coughed twice, trying to hide his gaffe, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner excitement.

He walked forward and carefully looked at the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng in Zhou Yiqiao's hand, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Friend Zhou not only found the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng, but this spiritual ginseng is full of vitality and spirituality. It is obvious that it was cultivated in a very suitable environment."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and smiled, secretly admiring Baicao Weng's vision and knowledge.

He had just taken this Nine-bend Purple Ginseng out of the black spiritual soil. Of course, it was full of spirituality and vitality.

"Thank you for your praise, Senior. I wonder if the spiritual plants that the young lady wants..."

When Baicao Weng heard Zhou Yiqiao's question, he calmly put the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng into his storage bag, then stroked his gray beard and smiled.

"Since you have completed my test, I will not break my promise."

"I have already prepared the spiritual plants you need for you. They are all carefully selected and of high quality."

As he spoke, Baicao Weng took out an exquisite jade box from his sleeve and gently opened it. Inside the box, he saw various rare and spiritual plants, each of which exuded a faint glow. They were obviously high-quality herbs.

Zhou Yiqiao stretched out his hand to take it, but saw Baicao Weng put the jade box back into his sleeve, looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a smile, and spoke.

"My dear Zhou, don't rush to get those spiritual plants. I still need your help with something."

"Please speak, senior."

Baicao Weng rubbed his hands, and the demeanor of a master that he had maintained until now suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"It's like this. I need to refine a high-level elixir called 'Yunyin Xiandan' these days."

"This pill is of extremely high quality, and the steps are complicated. You cannot be distracted at all when refining it. Many trivial things during refining the pill require help from others."

At this point, the old man with white hair and beard, Baicaoweng, felt a little embarrassed.

"You see, in order to make the elixir, I cannot allow anyone to enter Floating Light City, and I can't find the medicine boy for a while."

"I heard from Qing Jimeng that Mr. Zhou is a fifth-rank alchemist with a very high talent for alchemy. I wonder if you would be willing to lend a hand to me and serve as a temporary medicine boy during the alchemy period?"

He seemed to be afraid that Zhou Yiqiao would refuse, so he quickly added.

"Of course, as a reward, in addition to the spiritual plants you need, I can also give you a few precious alchemy materials and a notebook of alchemy experience that I have collected for many years. It will definitely benefit you a lot in your alchemy journey."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his heart moved.

He has always had a strong interest in alchemy, and he knows that he still has many shortcomings in this area.

It is naturally a great honor to have such an opportunity to learn and practice.

What's more, there are additional alchemy materials and alchemy experience notes as rewards, which is undoubtedly the icing on the cake.

So he bowed and smiled.

"Senior, how can I refuse your kind invitation?"

"It is my honor to receive some guidance from you, senior."

"Please rest assured, Senior. I will do my best to help you refine the 'Yunyin Immortal Pill'."

Baicao Weng was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly handed the jade box to Zhou Yiqiao and said with a smile.

"Good! Good! With the help of Young Friend Zhou, the refining of this 'Yunyin Immortal Pill' will surely go more smoothly."

"Please accept these spiritual plants first. As for the details of alchemy, I will tell you in detail after we go to my alchemy room."
