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

"Don't worry, my friend Baili. My friend Zhou is not only a distinguished guest of the Tijian Sect, but also a great talent in the way of swordsmanship in the eyes of my uncle."

“Not to mention the cultivators of the Sword Sect, even in the entire Tianchen Realm, no one dares to bully the person my uncle values.”

As if afraid that Baili Jing would be worried, Li Jianlan made an exception and said a few more words to explain to him.

Baili Jing smiled slightly, knowing that the words of the senior Li Jianlan in front of him were of great weight, and he felt more at ease about Zhou Yiqiao's future.

He bowed to Li Jianlan again and said.

"With Senior Li's words, I feel relieved."

"Junior brother, you must practice diligently while you are away, and don't let this opportunity go to waste."

"Senior brother, don't worry!"

The two said goodbye for the last time, and several subordinates who were planning to follow Zhou Yiqiao to the Tijian Sect finally packed up their belongings and rushed over from Wangu Mountain.

Since there are still many industries in the Netherworld Demon Realm, it is impossible for Zhou Yiqiao to bring all his subordinates to the Tijian Sect.

These days, while helping his three senior brothers and sisters find the eldest brother Baili Jing, Zhou Yiqiao also decided with Chu Tianxing through telepathy who would stay in Wangu Mountain and who would go to Tijian Sect.

Among them, Liu Yun, as the person in charge of the Xianyuan Pavilion Auction House, has to stay in the Netherworld Demon Realm to continue to take care of everything and ensure that the operation of the Xianyuan Pavilion is not affected.

The same as him are Hu Changzai, who is in charge of the operation of the alchemy shop, and Li Pingcai, who helps Liu Yun manage the auction house.

Of course, in addition to the three of them, Chu Tianxing will also stay in Wangu Mountain. On the one hand, he will serve as Zhou Yiqiao's spy here and pass on important information at any time. On the other hand, he will also serve as the guardian of Zhou Yiqiao's interests in the Netherworld Demon Realm.

After a round of screening, the only ones who could follow Zhou Yiqiao to the Tijian Sect were Tianlei and Xueran.

Fortunately, the seven swordsmen from the Tijian Sect have also arrived, and with three subordinates by his side, Zhou Yiqiao will be able to spend less time on trivial matters in the future.

It is worth noting that the treatment of the subordinates who stayed behind in the Netherworld Demon Realm will not be worse than that of Tian Lei and Xue Ran who followed him to the Ti Jian Sect.

On the contrary, because the cultivation environment of the Netherworld Demon Realm is not as good as that of the Central Plains Holy Land, Zhou Yiqiao also specially improved their daily treatment and the benefits that they can be distributed in the future.

Just like Liu Yun and Hu Changzai, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Zhou Yiqiao even left them a series of rare treasures for them to advance to the God Transformation stage.

His treatment is not even much worse than that of his incarnation Chu Tianxing.

"Okay, Senior Li is about to set off, you guys should hurry up and get on board."

Looking at the large and small bags, and the fact that he was carrying at least half a storage bag of Tianlei and Xueran, Zhou Yiqiao smiled and waved to the two of them.

The two of them didn't say much, and hurriedly climbed onto Li Jianlan's flying sword, then stood obediently in the corner.

"Stand firm, we will set off immediately."

Li Jianlan raised his head and took a sip of the spirit wine, then laughed loudly. Then he stomped his feet hard and quickly disappeared into the sky with Zhou Yiqiao and the other three.

Because of the presence of Tian Lei and Xue Ran, two young people in the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation realms, the return journey was much safer than the journey here.

It took Li Jianlan two more days to bring Zhou Yiqiao and the others back to the Tijian Sect safely.

"Okay, I'm going to report my itinerary to my uncle, you guys should do whatever you need to do."

After putting the four people down, Li Jianlan waved his hand casually, and then turned into a rainbow light and disappeared in an instant.

Li Mubai spat in the direction where Li Jianlan disappeared, then turned to look at Zhou Yiqiao and said with a smile.

"Brother Zhou, let's go. During the time we were away, our uncle-master has rescued your subordinate from Qinjian Villa. He is now staying temporarily in Lingyun Peak."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled and nodded, signaling Tianlei and Xue Ran behind him to follow, and returned to Lingyun Peak with Li Mubai.

After Li Mubai sent Zhou Yiqiao to Lingyun Peak, he said goodbye with a smile.

"Brother Zhou, before I left, I made an appointment with some fellow disciples. I need to talk with them after I come back to ensure your safety. I won't accompany you for long."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded in understanding. Li Mubai gained a lot of experience by going out with him. After returning to the sect, he was no longer a loner and became very close to several fellow disciples in the Tijian Sect who he could get along with. Zhou Yiqiao was naturally happy to see this.

"Brother Li, please go ahead. I'm fine here."

Li Mubai bowed, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from the spot.

Zhou Yiqiao brought Tianlei and Xueran back to the small building that Li Mubai had given him.

Before entering the courtyard, Zhou Yiqiao heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

His expression changed, and he recognized that it was the footsteps of the Seven Swordsmen.

I saw Qijian's figure appear at the gate of the courtyard. Time did not seem to have left too many traces on his body, but his temperament became a little haggard.

More importantly, Zhou Yiqiao keenly realized that Qijian's cultivation had just reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and was not stable.

You have to know that he and Qijian have been separated for hundreds of years. Before the separation, Qijian had already reached the late stage of Spirit Transformation. If you calculate according to common sense, with the rare treasures left by Zhou Yiqiao, it is impossible for Qijian to improve so slowly.

Zhou Yiqiao had a sharp gaze and could tell at a glance what the Seven Swordsmen must have encountered at Qinjian Villa.

"Qijian, you seem to be a little slack."

There was an unmistakable authority in his voice.

Qi Jian was slightly stunned, then understood the deep meaning of Zhou Yiqiao's words, lowered his head and spoke softly.

"Master, the Seven Swords are all well, but they are a little dull in talent. Without your guidance, their progress has been slow. I hope the master will atone for his sins."

Zhou Yiqiao is not someone who can be fooled so easily, he scolded.

"Qijian, there is no need to hide anything between you and me. Tell us the truth about what happened."

Qijian's body trembled slightly. He knew his master's temper. If he didn't tell the truth, his master would probably be even more worried.

So he spoke ambiguously.

"Master, the Seven Swords did encounter some troubles at Qinjian Villa, but they were all minor setbacks and not worth mentioning."

Zhou Yiqiao's expression eased a little, but he still spoke sternly.

"Qijian, although you and I are master and servant, we are more like brothers. Your safety is my safety, so you don't need to hide anything from me."

"Tell me honestly, who is targeting you in Qinjian Villa, and why didn't Miss Qing Jimeng come forward to help you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jian's eyes turned red, and he seemed to find it difficult to speak.

He took a deep breath and finally made up his mind to tell Zhou Yiqiao everything that had happened.

"Master, after you left, my days in Qinjian Villa were relatively peaceful at first, but not long after, the same remarks against you were heard again in the villa."

"When you were still at Qinjian Villa, these people didn't dare to cause trouble. After a period of silence, when they confirmed that you would not return to the villa, they began to cause trouble for their subordinates in order to save their lost face from you."

"But fortunately, with Senior Bi Yao's power, these people didn't dare to attack me directly. They could only make things difficult for me from time to time with various trivial matters, making my life in the villa a little more difficult."

Even at this time, Qi Jian still wanted to prevent Zhou Yiqiao from worrying about him.

However, even with such a general description, Zhou Yiqiao still found something wrong.

His brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

"Then why didn't Miss Qing Jimeng come out to help you out?"

Qijian sighed slightly and explained to Qingjimeng.

"When the young lady first returned to Qinjian Villa, she did come forward to reprimand those people and took extra care of me."

"But these people only restrained themselves temporarily. After the young lady was sent to manage a newly occupied spiritual mine nearby, they became even more aggressive."

Zhou Yiqiao's face turned gloomy. He could sense the helplessness in Qijian's words.

"These people are really going too far!"

Zhou Yiqiao was so angry that he punched the stone table next to him. The table immediately broke into pieces and the broken stones flew everywhere.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes became vicious and he spoke with gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Qi Jian hurriedly comforted him.

"Master, these are just trivial matters, not worth your anger."

"Although the Seven Swords suffered some injustice, they did not suffer any substantial harm."

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes were as fast as lightning. He stared at the Seven Swords and spoke word by word.

"Qijian, you are my subordinate. They treat you like this, which means they don't take me seriously."

"I, Zhou Yiqiao, have made note of this account. Sooner or later, I will make them pay the price."

"Don't worry, I will slowly make up for the progress you've fallen behind in cultivation at Qinjian Villa during your time at Tijian Sect."

"As for the injustice you have suffered, I will definitely take you to the door in the future, and catch those monks from Qinjian Villa who have targeted you one by one, and torture them!"

Having said this, he forced himself to calm down and spoke gently to the Seven Swords.

"Qijian, you arrived at the Tijian Sect early, so you must be very familiar with the environment in the Tijian Sect."

"First, help Tianlei and Xueran settle down, then take them to familiarize themselves with the various places in the Tijian Sect. After that, you should practice in seclusion. After you have perfected your training at the peak of the Spiritualization Stage, I will personally help you advance."

The three of the Seven Swords looked at each other and responded in unison.

"Yes, Master."

Afterwards, the Seven Swordsmen with Tianlei and Xueran bowed and retreated, leaving Zhou Yiqiao standing alone in the courtyard in silence.

"After all, I'm still not strong enough..."

After staring at the clouds in the sky for a long while, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly let out a breath, turned his head to look in the direction of Jianxin Pavilion, and murmured in a low voice.

"If I had the strength of that senior, who would dare to talk about my subordinates?"

There was a determined light in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes. He knew very well that in this world where the strong are respected, strength is the source of all discourse power.

Recalling his experiences at Qinjian Villa and the grievances suffered by the Seven Swords, he became more determined to improve himself and protect those around him.

"It is urgent to improve our strength."

A thought came to his mind, and Zhou Yiqiao no longer hesitated, turned around and went into the attic.
