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

"Master, except for the six monks in front who are in the middle stage of foundation building, the rest are all monks in the early stage of foundation building."

"Each of these people is a casual cultivator, with clean roots. At the same time, they have severed all interpersonal relationships. They have no relatives, no friends, and no ties."

Qijian pointed at the several monks in front of him and carefully reported the basic information of this group of prisoners captured by them.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded with satisfaction when he heard the words, and then spoke softly, and the voice reached everyone's ears.

"Come forward, everyone, and I will give you the soul brand."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone came to stand in front of Zhou Yiqiao and lined up.

Zhou Yiqiao raised the index finger of his right hand, his fingertips glowing with light, pointing towards the foreheads of each of the eleven prisoners.

In an instant, these eleven people felt a sharp pain in their brains, and then, a red trace with a deadly demonic energy appeared in the depths of their souls.

"This is your eternal slave mark from now on. If you dare to betray me, your soul will explode in an instant, and there will be no chance of reincarnation."

Zhou Yiqiao glanced at them indifferently and said coldly.

"Remember your identity clearly. From now on, you are just my slaves. All your actions must take me as priority! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The eleven people shouted in unison when they heard the words, and their attitude was extremely respectful.

Seeing how obedient they were, Zhou Yiqiao smiled and nodded.

Given sticks, naturally some sweet dates will also be given.

He waved his hand, and countless jade bottles containing foundation-building elixirs fell into their hands.

"Since you have chosen to submit to me, I will naturally not be stingy. These pills are my gift to you, please accept them."

As soon as the words fell, the eleven monks hurriedly knelt down on the ground, excitedly thanking Zhou Yiqiao for his kindness.

In response, Zhou Yiqiao just waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then continued.

"Since you were able to be brought alive by Seven Swords to see me, you must also know your future."

"That's right, the cultivation method I used is indeed a complete one. It can only make you have cultivation but not the corresponding strength."

"But you should also know that without my favor, with your qualifications and resources, it would be impossible to advance to the Golden Core realm in this life."

"So, if you want to become a Nascent Soul cultivator as soon as possible and enjoy a life span of 1,500 years, you must practice hard."

"You don't have to worry about elixirs. Seven Swords will provide you with sufficient quantities every day. The same is true for erysipelas. The advanced method I use is not affected by erysipelas."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became happy and thanked him again.

"In addition, you must remember that it is you who choose to be loyal to me, not me who needs your loyalty. I don't want you to be dependent on me forever, and I don't want you to use my name to bully others."

Zhou Yiqiao glanced at them and continued to give instructions.

"If one day I hear remarks about you bullying others, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After hearing this warning, they all showed fearful expressions and responded in unison.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao's expression softened slightly.

"Very well, please step aside for now."

"Yes, Master."

The foundation-building monks replied, then bowed and retreated.

Watching them leave, Qijian stepped forward.

"Master, those one hundred and thirty-three Qi Refining monks are still waiting outside. Do you want me to bring them in now?"

Zhou Yiqiao nodded.

"Well, let them come."

Following Zhou Yiqiao's order, soon after, Qijian led one hundred and thirty-three low-level monks in the Qi Refining Stage into the room, standing neatly waiting for instructions.

"I don't care what the exercises you practice are. Now give me your spiritual power and practice the exercises I gave you."

As Zhou Yiqiao spoke, he took out more than a hundred jade slips that he had prepared long ago from his storage bag.

This is the simplest set of qi-refining techniques that he selected in order to allow these qi-refining monks to reach the peak of qi-refining as quickly as possible, so that they can be promoted to foundation building in the shortest possible time.

After all, he didn't have any elixir in his hand that could help these Qi Refining monks to be steadily promoted to Foundation Establishment. He could only use this method to speed up the cultivation of Foundation Establishment monks.

As for those monks who were unable to advance to Foundation Establishment, or those who exploded and died during the promotion process, in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, they were just consumables.

After hearing Zhou Yiqiao's words, one hundred and thirty-three Qi Refining monks looked at each other, and then they all closed their eyes and began to use the techniques taught by Zhou Yiqiao.

As time went by, the whirlpool of spiritual power caused by the exercise of more than a hundred qi-refining monks grew stronger and stronger, reaching straight into the sky.

Zhou Yiqiao quietly watched the scene in front of him, actively controlling the trend of this spiritual vortex to avoid causing unnecessary phenomena and being watched by interested people.

This process lasted for half a month. It was not until the last Qi Refining monk slowly opened his eyes that he stopped controlling the transmission of spiritual power and restrained the pressure all over his body.

Then it took another half an hour to imprint the souls of these people and give them the Qi Refining Pills one by one before letting them leave Shenjian Tower.

The entire Shenjian Tower returned to calm, Zhou Yiqiao turned to look at Seven Swords, threw the scroll of Qi Refining Technique to the opponent, and spoke.

"Have you ever seen the process clearly?"

"From now on, except for the soul branding that I personally execute, everything else needs to be handled by you, Tianlei, and Hu Changzai."

"Master, please rest assured that I have memorized all the procedures in my mind and will never make any mistakes."

"When I leave Shenjian Tower, I will personally hand over this matter to Tianlei and Hu Changzai. If they have any problems, Master, just call me."

Qijian clasped his fists in agreement.

Hearing that Seven Swords took all the blame on himself again, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You, you, are always so considerate of others, why don't you care at all about yourself?"

"Tian Lei is still ignorant. Hu Chang has always followed his sweetheart between us. The only one I can fully trust is you."

When Qijian heard this, he retorted in an extremely rare way.

"Master, you are serious. It is my honor to work for you!"

"Tianlei and Hu Changzai have worked hard for you over the years. If your words were heard by them, it would inevitably make them feel chilling..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao laughed dumbly.

"It's just that I didn't think well, but you taught me a lesson."

"Well, since you insist on doing this, I won't say anything more. Be careful in everything from now on and don't act rashly."

"Go ahead and do it. If you encounter difficulties, remember that I have everything."

Qijian nodded solemnly and quickly left Shenjian Tower. Zhou Yiqiao was completely left alone in the huge cave.
