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

Faced with Tuoba Zhi's feeble request, Zhou Yiqiao did not immediately refute. He held down the ugly-looking senior brother Shen Kuo next to him and said with a smile to the demon in front of him who had recovered as before.

"Brother Tuoba, Zhou and you are strangers to each other."

"It's not that Zhou doesn't want to fight you again, it's just that Zhou is only a first-level mortal, and his recovery speed is far slower than your demonic body."

"Let's do this. When Zhou fully recovers, I will choose a time to come in person and fight Brother Tuoba again."

Zhou Yiqiao looked like he was thinking about the other party, which made Tuoba Zhi stunned for a long time.

After a long time, he nodded, agreeing with Zhou Yiqiao's idea.

"In that case, I won't delay your recuperation, so I'll take my leave!"

After saying this, Tuoba Zhi threw up his sleeves and left.

Zhou Yiqiao stood there and watched the other party disappear from sight, letting out a long sigh.

"The obsession is too deep. If Tuoba Zhi can't defeat me once, I'm afraid his future longevity will be damaged."

Hearing this, Shen Kuo agreed loudly.

"Who says it isn't?"

"Tuoba Zhi has been preparing for this sect competition for more than ten years, but he lost to you in the final."

"I wanted to become famous together with the demon clan, but in the end I found that I was the only one who fell short. If it were me, I would also become a demon."

"Once the inner demon is completed, even if he cultivates to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, it will be impossible for him to make any further progress."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Yiqiao solemnly and said in a serious tone.

"Junior brother, it's better to get your health back as soon as possible. This Tuoba Zhi has a demon inside his body, and he will do crazy things sooner or later. You must have the means to protect yourself so that you are not afraid of his threats."

Zhou Yiqiao was slightly startled when he heard the words, and his thoughts were changing.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I understand."

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao's agreement, Shen Kuo looked at Wu Ning aside, nodded towards him, stood up and said goodbye.

"Since junior brother's old friend is here, senior brother, I will come to see you again tomorrow."

After saying this, Shen Kuo left the room with his maid.

After Shen Kuo left, Zhou Yiqiao dragged his tired body and poured Wu Ning a cup of spiritual tea, then asked with a smile.

"During the competition, Zhou was still thinking that with Brother Wu's character, he would not miss this event. Now it seems that there is another hidden agenda?"

Wu Ning hurriedly took the spirit tea, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Brother Fuyin Zhou, I was unable to participate in the sect competition this time because my father had ordered me not to participate in the competition."

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows.

"Oh why?"

Wu Ning returned to Zhou Yiqiao's issue angrily.

"There is some kind of deal reached between the top leaders of the aristocratic family faction and the demon clan faction. I, the golden elixir cultivator, am not qualified to know the specific contents."

After hearing what Wu Ning said, Zhou Yiqiao remembered that after his master came to the sect, he immediately took his three brothers to visit the Tuoba sect master.

Now it seems that their master, Elder Baigu, is also one of the insiders...

Zhou Yiqiao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at Wu Ning and asked.

"In this case, if Zhou defeated Tuoba Zhi and won the first place in this sect competition, wouldn't this have ruined the plans of the three elders and the others?"

Wu Ning waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this.

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! The sect competition is based on strength. Tuoba Zhi's skills are not as good as others and he was defeated by Brother Zhou. Even if the demon faction has complaints, it's hard to say anything."

"Besides, the leader of the Nascent Soul Group is a member of the Demon Clan, and the sect's faction has become the only joke in this sect competition. It's too late for my father and the others to be happy."

Seeing Wu Ning's answer, Zhou Yiqiao had a rough guess about the transactions between the senior executives.

Although the three parties have agreed on the division of interests in the general direction, they are still in a state of struggle over petty gains such as rankings.

Zhou Yiqiao welcomed this.

After all, for a Golden Core cultivator like him, large-scale factional disputes are undoubtedly a disaster, but this small-scale conflict is the best opportunity to fight for his own interests.

After a battle with Tuoba Zhi, he was confident that his strength was among the best among monks of the same level.

Therefore, as long as there are more such small-scale conflicts, he can obtain more resources and accelerate his cultivation path.

Calculating it this way, he would be happy to see the confrontation between the three forces.

"Brother Zhou, why are you distracted?"

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao fall into silence, Wu Ning couldn't help but call out softly.

"Ok?"

After being reminded by Wu Ning, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly came back to his senses.

Seeing this, Wu Ning immediately put on an expression of self-blame.

"I must have come to disturb Brother Zhou just after he recovered, causing Brother Zhou to worry too much."

"Junior Brother Wu, if you can come and visit Zhou, Zhou is very grateful."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled lightly, patted Wu Ning's shoulder, and quickly changed the topic.

"But Brother Wu, you must be in such a hurry to come here today because you have something important to do, right?"

After Zhou Yiqiao pointedly revealed his purpose, Wu Ning didn't mince words and laughed.

"Brother Zhou is really powerful. He actually revealed my purpose in one sentence."

"Brother Zhou fainted after the battle with Tuoba Zhi. Although he won the championship, he did not accept the reward from the sect master."

"Master Tuoba gave all the rewards that belong to the first place to my father. I am here to hand over the rewards to you on behalf of my father."

After saying that, Wu Ning took out a storage bag from the storage ring and handed it over.

After Zhou Yiqiao reached out to take it, at first glance, he discovered that there were a total of five hundred extremely exquisite blue spiritual stones stored in this storage bag.

"Is this a top-grade spiritual stone?"

Looking at the blue crystal in his palm, Zhou Yiqiao's eyes widened.

One high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to ten thousand ordinary spiritual stones. These five hundred high-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to five million ordinary spiritual stones in terms of value alone.

However, considering that the spiritual power contained in high-grade spiritual stones is far from comparable to that of ten thousand ordinary spiritual stones, although the two are exchanged at equal prices, they have always been priceless.

For many large sects, high-grade spiritual stones are mostly used to arrange formations or for core disciples to practice, and are rarely circulated on the market.

Zhou Yiqiao, who has been cultivating immortals for more than a hundred years, has only seen it in the hands of Tuoba Zhi when Bohaifang made the bet.

Now that he has obtained this thing, many spiritual plant ripening or elixir refining that he could not try before can be put on his agenda in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yiqiao's mouth curved slightly.

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao's happy expression, Wu Ning also smiled, pointed at the storage bag in Zhou Yiqiao's hand, and continued.

"These five hundred high-grade spiritual stones are indeed very valuable, but compared to the other rewards in the storage bag, they are not precious treasures."

"Brother Zhou, you might as well check them one by one now so that I can explain them to you."
