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

Zhou Yiqiao stood in the Bixiao Cave, looking up at the purple vortex that was constantly spinning in the sky, and clearly felt the destructive power contained therein.

There was no fear in his heart, only a deep desire for power and infinite excitement to meet the challenge.

The old man in purple robe and the old man in blue robe were watching silently from a distance. They knew that every minute that followed might determine Zhou Yiqiao's life or death.

Since they have received Qing Jimeng's order, the two of them must be on standby at all times to ensure that Zhou Yiqiao safely survives the heavenly tribulation.

The first ray of purple thunder of annihilation finally struck down, like a giant purple dragon, pouncing towards Zhou Yiqiao with bared fangs and claws.

The thunder roared and was deafening, and the entire Bixiao Cave seemed to be shaking.

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath and circulated the spiritual power in his body to the extreme. His body emitted a dazzling light at this moment.

He did not choose to escape, but faced the lightning head-on, punching out with one punch, colliding head-on with the purple thunder of annihilation.

"Boom!"

A huge crash sound echoed in the cave. Zhou Yiqiao's fist wind collided with the purple thunder of annihilation, causing a strong shock wave.

He felt a huge force surging into his body, and his meridians seemed to be torn apart.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered, directing this power to every part of his body in order to temper his body.

When the old man in purple and the old man in blue saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

They didn't expect that Zhou Yiqiao would choose such a direct way to fight the heavenly tribulation, which obviously exceeded their expectations.

"I originally thought that Zhou Yiqiao was simply extremely talented, but now it seems that his ability is even stronger than I imagined."

The old man in blue turned to look at the old man in purple and spoke.

The old man in purple robe didn't even turn his head, staring at the thunder tribulation in front of him, fearing that something might happen to Zhou Yiqiao.

"I have already told you that no matter how poor a person's personal ability is, how bad can it be for the young lady to take a fancy to him?"

"Let alone anything else, this first thunder tribulation has such power, it is much stronger than many inner disciples in the villa."

The old man in blue heard this and seemed to have thought of something, with a cunning look in his eyes.

"Since the eldest lady asked us two to protect Zhou Yiqiao, it is obvious that she has absolute trust in us two."

"Brother Zhang, do you think we should take this opportunity to make friends with Zhou Yiqiao? If he really achieves the supreme Taoism as the young lady believes, we can use this relationship to get some benefits."

The purple-robed old man frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Brother Li, be careful with your words and actions. Don't forget that Zhou Yiqiao's place in the Jianming Pond was taken away by the owner of the manor himself."

"If you want to befriend this boy, you are obviously slapping the owner in the face."

The old man in blue smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of confidence and cunning, and said softly.

"Brother Zhang has a point, but the world is like a game of chess, each game is new."

"The eldest lady risked her reputation to bring Zhou Yiqiao into Jianming Pond, and now she has given Zhou Yiqiao the blessed land given by her biological mother for her retreat. Do you dare to say that there is no tacit approval from the owner of the manor?"

"Besides, we only know Zhou Yiqiao a little bit, and we didn't say we would go against the rules and betray the villa for him. We just planted a seed of possible good karma in advance."

"If he can really overcome all the obstacles and achieve extraordinary results, we will naturally benefit from it; if he fails, it will not be a big loss for us, so why not do it?"

The purple-robed old man's expression eased a little when he heard this, and he nodded after pondering for a moment.

"Brother Li, what you said makes sense. Although we are from the Villa, we still need to be flexible in our actions."

"If Zhou Yiqiao can successfully overcome the calamity, he will definitely be an extraordinary person and may become the pillar of the villa in the future."

"If we can help him this time, it's fine. But we need to be sincere in making friends with him, and don't let him feel that we are using him.

The two looked at each other, their tacit understanding needing no further words, and then turned their attention back to Zhou Yiqiao.

While the two were communicating, thirty-six thunder tribulations had already fallen one after another, and the progress had barely reached one third.

With the bombardment of thirty-six purple thunders of annihilation, Zhou Yiqiao's clothes were instantly torn to pieces.

The exposed skin was covered with fine lightning lines, which flashed with dazzling light, making people dare not look directly at it.

Under the bombardment of this thunder and lightning, Zhou Yiqiao felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.

Each ray of purple thunder of annihilation is more powerful than the previous one. He must give it his all to guide and temper these violent forces of thunder and lightning.

As the thunder tribulation continued, the spiritual power in Zhou Yiqiao's body reached its peak, and his body gradually changed under the baptism of thunder and lightning.

The lightning patterns on the skin became more and more dense, and finally converged into mysterious patterns, as if containing the ultimate truth between heaven and earth.

When the old man in purple and the old man in blue saw this scene, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.

They knew that these lightning patterns were the product of the fusion of Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual power and the power of heavenly tribulation, and were the manifestation of his physical body being tempered to the extreme.

"I heard from the eldest lady that Zhou Yiqiao insisted on entering the Jianming Pool in order to improve the body-building technique he mastered."

"It seems that as long as this kid can withstand the tempering of the Purple Thunder of Annihilation, this body-building technique will definitely be able to make further progress!"

The purple-robed old man couldn't help but admire.

The old man in blue also nodded.

"In terms of body tempering alone, among the younger generation of Qinjian Villa, there probably isn't another person who can match Zhou Yiqiao..."

The purple vortex in the sky spun more wildly, and the seventy-second purple thunder of annihilation finally struck down.

This bolt of lightning was thicker than any previous one, and the destructive power contained in it was enough to make any cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm shudder.

Zhou Yiqiao looked up at the lightning, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that the power of the seventy-second purple thunder of annihilation was several times more terrifying than the fire refining on the seventh level of the Northern Wilderness Holy Sect's quenching platform.

"On the path of cultivation, there is only progress and no retreat!"

Zhou Yiqiao let out a low roar, and his spiritual energy began to circulate wildly. The lightning patterns on the surface of his body seemed to come alive at this moment.

"boom!"

The seventy-second purple lightning of annihilation struck Zhou Yiqiao's body. He was completely wrapped in lightning. Under the bombardment of lightning, the lightning patterns on the surface of his body began to slowly absorb and transform this power.

At this moment, Zhou Yiqiao's body made a crackling sound, as if undergoing a deep transformation.

The expressions of the purple-robed old man and the blue-robed old man became extremely solemn. Even though they were two Taoist masters in their combined form, they were deeply shocked by the annihilation purple thunder calamity before them.

The two men each took out their own magical weapons, ready to help Zhou Yiqiao when he was exhausted and save him from danger.
