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

Zhou Yiqiao followed Ouyang Guangming to where everyone gathered. He watched everyone busy from afar and sighed in his heart.

"Are these the monks at the front line? Just as Senior Tielan said, they are all exhausted..."

"No matter what, these people are fighting for the interests of Daxuantian. As the beneficiary of this interest, why is Ouyang Guangming so eager to poison them?"

He couldn't figure it out, so he simply put the question aside for the time being and concentrated on playing the role of Ouyang Guangming's lackey.

Ouyang Guangming brought Zhou Yiqiao to land on the open space, and then several monks came to meet them.

"Master Ouyang!"

Zhou Yiqiao suddenly realized that Ouyang Guangming's status in the eyes of some monks on the front line was no different from that of Feng Qishan.

This made Zhou Yiqiao, who had just been thinking about not guessing Ouyang Guangming's thoughts anymore, feel strange again.

"This old dog wants fame and has resources. What kind of unsatisfied desires does he have that require the lives of tens of thousands of monks on the front line as tribute?"

"I guess this is Mr. Zhou Yiqiao, the one who made the dragon zhi ointment for us, right?"

While Zhou Yiqiao was still thinking, everyone's eyes had already fallen on him.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled and bowed in greeting.

"I am Zhou Yiqiao, and I am honored to meet you, fellow Taoists."

A dignified young monk walked out of the crowd, bowed and returned the greeting in a loud voice.

"I'm Li Yuan. I heard that you have refined the dragon's radish paste, and now you have made this magical light-condensing agent. I wonder if you can show it to us?"

Ouyang Guangming stood aside, saying nothing, just staring at Zhou Yiqiao coldly, trying to prevent him from doing something out of line while he was not paying attention.

Zhou Yiqiao's hair stood on end at this gaze. He suppressed his surprise at seeing Li Yuan, nodded, and then took out a bottle of light-condensing agent from his ring and showed it in front of everyone.

Taking into account the fact that the dangers of the coagulating agent could not be exposed for the time being, Zhou Yiqiao also specially added a kind of spiritual herb with a fresh smell into the coagulating agent to suppress the original pungent smell of the coagulating agent.

Li Yuan looked at the light-reducing agent in Zhou Yiqiao's hand with a hint of doubt on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he was the first to step forward and took the jade bottle from Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao was afraid that Li Yuan would use this thing on the spot, causing the situation to become unexplainable to him, so he explained in a hurry.

"Fellow Daoist Li, be careful! This light-condensing agent is extremely powerful. Do not use it directly before making all the necessary preparations..."

Li Yuan frowned when he heard this, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he still nodded.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Zhou."

He put away the light-condensing agent, and then several monks came around and asked him about the dragon zhi ointment.

Seeing this, Li Yuan also joined the discussion, but he glanced at Ouyang Guangming and Zhou Yiqiao from time to time with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao secretly groaned in his heart. It was obvious that Li Yuan had doubts about Ouyang Mingming for a long time, and he also began to doubt himself!

But the current situation made it impossible for Zhou Yiqiao to explain clearly, and he could only grit his teeth and deal with it.

Fortunately, Longzhi ointment did not have the insidious effect of the light-coagulating agent. Zhou Yiqiao answered everyone's questions one by one, and it took him a while to get into the crowd.

"Okay, you'll have plenty of time to discuss the issue of the Dragon's Gel later. The most important thing right now is the Light Coagulation Agent."

As if realizing that he was too hasty, Ouyang Guangming quickly tried to make amends.

"After all, this light-condensing agent is related to the important matter of conquering the source world. For frontline cultivators like us, everything must be done with this matter in mind."

Li Yuan and the other monks who were receiving them nodded one after another, blaming themselves for not thinking it through. They took Zhou Yiqiao and Ouyang Guangming and quickly entered a huge tent that had just been built.

"No need to waste time talking nonsense. His Majesty the Immortal Emperor has expressed his opinion on our war in the Source Realm. The use of the light-condensing agent must be promoted as soon as possible to complete the war in this realm as soon as possible."

Ouyang Guangming sat down in the main seat, took the spiritual tea brought by others, and did not give Li Yuan and others a chance to speak. He spoke first.

Li Yuan and his companions looked embarrassed. After looking at each other, Li Yuan answered on behalf of everyone.

"Master Ouyang, to successfully win the war in the Source Realm, we need the joint efforts of all the cultivators on the front line. Even if we fight bravely, it will be useless if the other comrades are not up to the task..."

Ouyang Guangming waved his hands, looking like he didn't want to listen to Li Yuan's explanation.

"I understand what you mean, and His Majesty the Immortal Emperor understands it as well!"

"But the officials in the court do not understand the difficulties on the front line. They only see that we cultivators have spent a lot of resources in the source world, but still failed to conquer this resource-rich world. They also do not see the hard work you have put in for Daxuantian!"

His words were extremely inflammatory, and with just a few words he stirred up everyone's emotions.

Li Yuan and others' faces flushed and their breathing became rapid, and they were obviously angered by Ouyang Guangming's words.

Zhou Yiqiao watched coldly from the side, sneering in his heart.

The conflict between the frontline monks and the court officials is something that everyone knows well, but this conflict has nothing to do with what Ouyang Guangming said. This old dog clearly wants to stir up conflict between the frontline monks and the court officials and make the two sides completely opposed to each other!

"Master Ouyang! We cultivators are fighting for the future of Daxuantian, even at the cost of our lives, but those guys who only know how to sit at home and make decisions..."

A cultivator in the late stage of the Refinement Void Realm beside Li Yuan stood up angrily, as if he wanted to continue speaking, but was immediately pulled back to sit by Li Yuan.

He came to his senses and realized that he had almost fallen into Ouyang Guangming's trap, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Zhou Yiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. If he really let this person speak out what was in his heart, even if he solved the problem of Ouyang Guangming by then, the things between their frontline monks and the officials in the court would still be irreversible.

"This Li Yuan seems to be a reasonable person. As long as we bring up Luo Lishang and Da Xuantian, he should be easy to convince."

"Although the cultivator who was held by Li Yuan was impulsive, he should be extremely convinced of Li Yuan himself. As long as he can convince Li Yuan, it should not be a problem..."

He secretly assessed the personalities of everyone present and made calculations in his mind.

After a long time, Ouyang Guangming ended his verbal instigation, turned around and nodded to Zhou Yiqiao behind him, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"After all, this light-condensing agent was made by Mr. Zhou himself, so he has more say than me."

"I will not bother you here any more. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Mr. Zhou."

"I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan and others stood up to see him off. Before leaving, Ouyang Guangming deliberately stared at Zhou Yiqiao and gave him a meaningful warning.

"Friend Zhou, the light-condensing agent is of great importance. Remember to put the overall situation first!"

Zhou Yiqiao sneered in his heart but pretended to be taught a lesson on his face.

"Don't worry, Senior Ouyang. I will definitely not let you down."

Ouyang Guangming nodded with satisfaction, and then left the tent under the escort of several fawning monks.

After Ouyang Guangming left, the tent suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Li Yuan and others looked gloomy, as if they were still thinking about what Ouyang Guangming had said.

Zhou Yiqiao waited patiently for everyone to digest these emotions before he spoke slowly.

"Everyone, regarding the trial of the light-condensing agent, which Taoist friend can contact Zhou?"

Although he did not specify the target, his eyes fell on Li Yuan without any concealment.

As the first person to come back to his senses from Ouyang Guangming's influence, Li Yuan was naturally the first to feel Zhou Yiqiao's gaze along with everyone else.

His expression changed, then returned to normal.

"Mr. Zhou, you are joking. Since this is related to the Great Xuantian War, we must naturally put the overall situation first. As for the trial use of this light-condensing agent, let Li start it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and gestured for invitation.

"This place doesn't seem to be suitable for the experiment of light-coagulating agent. I wonder if Brother Li can take me to a secluded place?"

Li Yuan's face changed again, as if he saw Zhou Yiqiao's intention. He immediately stood up and took Zhou Yiqiao away.

The two of them took many detours, got away from the noisy crowd, and finally stopped in a remote small tent.

"Mr. Zhou seems to have something unfinished?"

Zhou Yiqiao believed in Tielan's judgment and did not try to test her in the slightest. He just waved his hand to impose a ban outside the tent and then told Li Yuan the secret of the day.

"Old dog Ouyang has ulterior motives. All the light-condensing agents will cause great damage to the frontline monks."

"What!?"

Even though he had already guessed it, when he actually heard Zhou Yiqiao say this, Li Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and continued with a serious expression.

"Brother Li just returned to the camp and may not know this. Although I am the alchemist appointed by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to make the Dragon Ganoderma Paste for you, I have only been in the Source Realm for over a month and have already been threatened by Luo Fengmo and Ouyang Laogou. If you do not follow their instructions, your life will be in danger."

“Fortunately, Senior Tielan is also His Highness’s man. He pointed out a way out for me at a critical moment, and told me to wait until Brother Li and others return to the camp, and then win over everyone to fight against Luo Fengmo and Ouyang Guangming.”

Having said this, he even stood up and bowed to Li Yuan.

"Well, I have no other choice now. I have to follow Senior Tielan's instructions and come to find Brother Li Yuan. I hope Brother Li Yuan can help me get out of this desperate situation."
