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

In Elder Bai Gu's courtyard, Zhou Yiqiao and Shen Kuo were talking under the moonlight, their brows full of sadness.

"So, the Wulong and his group came here today with the purpose of testing?"

After Shen Kuo spoke eloquently, Zhou Yiqiao grasped the key and spoke.

When Shen Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

"Yes, I think so too."

"Junior brother, you don't know something. That Wulong is just a playboy. His father, the chief minister, came to have a son and pampered him to the extreme. His father used heavenly materials and earthly treasures to build up his current cultivation level for him."

"In that sect competition fifty years ago, he and Senior Brother Gu were not at the same level at all. The two never fought against each other from beginning to end, and there was no such thing as the humiliation he said today."

Zhou Yiqiao looked stunned and understood what Shen Kuo meant.

"Senior Brother, do you think that Wu Long was ordered by others to chase us to the Immortal Killing Tower today?"

Shen Kuo nodded.

"Yes, but with Wu Long's intelligence, which is full of food, drink and fun, he is probably more likely to be exploited by others."

"I don't know why the sect master and the elders in power attach great importance to this sect competition. Maybe those people thought of the scene of Senior Brother Gu overpowering everyone back then, and they couldn't sit still."

"At this time, they sent out Wulong, maybe just to lure the snake out of its hole and follow the clues."

Zhou Yiqiao's eyebrows were even more melancholy.

Although he had only known Gu Changsheng for more than a day, he could clearly feel the care and help he received from the other person.

As smart as Shen Kuo, after seeing Zhou Yiqiao's expression, he immediately understood what Zhou Yiqiao was thinking and spoke to comfort him.

"Okay, junior brother, we still have the master above us, so it's not our turn to worry about senior brother Gu's affairs."

"No matter what, our most important task now is to improve our strength. Only in this way can we ensure our own safety so that Master and Senior Brother will not be distracted by us."

Shen Kuo continued.

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao sighed.

"Hey, senior brother is right. We really need to improve our cultivation now."

"In this case, junior brother will leave first."

After saying that, Zhou Yiqiao planned to say goodbye and return to his own room to practice in seclusion.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shen Kuo suddenly called out to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Junior brother, you must never forget the agreement between Master and the alchemy elder."

Zhou Yiqiao paused when he heard this, then turned around and said to Shen Kuo with a smile.

"Don't worry, senior brother. Junior brother had planned to take advantage of the time before the sect competition to go to the Danqing Hall to learn from the alchemy elder."

While speaking, Zhou Yiqiao patted his chest and vowed.

"Well, junior brother, just be sensible."

Hearing this, Shen Kuo nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yiqiao turned around and left without stopping, returning to the wing to retreat.

As soon as Zhou Yiqiao left, Shen Kuo turned around and walked towards another room.

......

Silent all night.

Until the early morning of the next day, when Zhou Yiqiao slowly finished his day's practice, there was no sign of his master's return.

He pushed the door open and went out, only to find that the two senior brothers were still practicing in their own room and did not appear to be leaving the confinement in a short period of time.

Unable to say goodbye in person, Zhou Yiqiao had to take out pen and paper and left a brief letter.

After everything was settled, he left Elder Bai Gu's courtyard alone and walked towards the Painting Hall that he had paid special attention to yesterday.

Although it was early in the morning, the entire Netherworld Demon Sect was already bustling with activity.

When Zhou Yiqiao arrived at Danqing Hall, he found that there was already a long queue outside the hall.

He deliberately paid attention to everyone's conversations and soon understood the reason for this situation today.

It turns out that today is the day when the Nether Demon Sect distributes cultivation elixirs to its disciples once a year.

Every day when the Nether Demon Sect distributes elixirs, it is the busiest time for the entire Danqing Palace.

After Zhou Yiqiao muttered a few words to himself, he stepped into the Danqing Palace.

Because of the large number of disciples of the Nether Demon Sect, the daily flow of people in the Danqing Hall is very large. In order to avoid crowding, the sect built the Danqing Hall very grandly.

Lifelike landscape paintings hang on the walls, and the top of the hall is carved with all kinds of rare and exotic animals.

In the Danqing Hall, there was an endless flow of people coming and going, all of them were disciples who came to receive the elixir.

There were deacons who were responsible for maintaining order around them. When they saw Zhou Yiqiao walking in, a deacon immediately came forward and asked.

"Junior brother, are you a newly promoted sect disciple? Please come with me and I will register you."

"Brother, you're welcome."

Zhou Yiqiao bowed slightly and said politely.

"Junior brother came here this time to fulfill the agreement with the alchemy elder."

After saying this, Zhou Yiqiao took out the identity token that symbolized the direct disciple of Wangu Mountain and gave it to the deacon in front of him.

"Senior brother, please give this item to the alchemy elder or a few of his direct disciples. The elder and the others will know about it."

The deacon looked at the token in Zhou Yiqiao's hand with a daze in his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly realized something.

"You must be Junior Brother Zhou Yiqiao from the Blood Sword Mountain of Ten Thousand Bones Mountain, right?"

Zhou Yiqiao heard this and responded softly.

"It's down."

After hearing Zhou Yiqiao's affirmative answer, the deacon's face showed such an expression.

"My Excellency, Liu Yun, I have heard about the name of Junior Brother Blood Sword for a long time."

"Junior brother, I don't know. Ever since Master came back from his apprenticeship ceremony, he has been telling us that Elder Bai Gu has accepted another alchemy genius."

"We, the disciples of the Danqing Hall, have long heard that our ears have become calloused!"

As Liu Yun spoke, he grabbed Zhou Yiqiao's arm and walked towards the depths of the hall while continuing.

"Master has already said that if Junior Brother Blood Sword comes to visit, he can just bring him directly into the hall without any notification."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly.

Afterwards, he followed Liu Yun through the layers of palaces, and finally arrived at the interior of the main hall deep in the Danqing Palace.

The furnishings here are simple, except for a few exquisitely crafted alchemy furnaces, and there are only spiritual plants and spiritual herbs piled up everywhere.

"Master, Junior Brother Blood Sword has fulfilled his promise and has come to find you."

Liu Yun shouted loudly to the empty hall.

The sound roared, resounding in every corner of the hall.

The next moment, a gray-bearded old man in simple clothes slowly emerged from among the blazing sunflowers piled one foot high in the corner.

Although this old man looks old, his skin is rosy and his eyes are lively.

This person is none other than the Alchemy Elder of the Nether Demon Sect, Mo Feng, who is famous throughout Yongzhou!

The moment Mo Feng saw Zhou Yiqiao, his eyes suddenly erupted with a blazing light as if he had seen an ancient secret treasure.

Then, Mo Feng suddenly stepped out and appeared in front of Zhou Yiqiao in an instant, holding his hands excitedly and saying with a happy face.

"Yiqiao, you are here."
