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

The Lin family's weapon refining room is located in the north of Wangxianyuan, on an island in the center of a geothermal spring.

The island is surrounded by mist and spiritual energy. The high temperature of the geothermal spring makes the temperature on the island much higher than the outside world, but it also breeds rich fire spiritual power, making it an excellent place for refining equipment.

The Lin family's weapon refining room was built in the center of the island, and underneath it was the geothermal spring, which could continuously provide firepower for refining.

There is a spirit gathering formation inside the refining room, which can gather the fire spiritual power from all around, making the concentration of fire spiritual power in the refining room far exceed that of the outside world.

Lin Xiaotian personally led Zhou Yiqiao through the winding stone roads and came to the entrance of the refining room.

The stone door is simple and heavy, engraved with complex runes, and it is obvious that strong protective measures have been taken.

Lin Xiaotian waved his sleeves lightly, and the runes on the stone door flashed red. Then it slowly opened, revealing the scene inside the refining room.

The interior space is spacious, with a huge refining furnace in the center with a blazing fire. The surrounding walls are hung with various refining tools in an orderly manner.

However, when the two entered the refining room, they found that there was already a middle-aged monk in the room.

This monk was of sturdy build, with a resolute face and a rebellious look in his eyes.

When he saw Lin Xiaotian and Zhou Yiqiao coming together, he frowned slightly and looked displeased.

"Chief, why are you here? Who is this?"

The middle-aged cultivator first bowed to Lin Xiaotian, then turned his gaze to Zhou Yiqiao, with a scrutinizing tone in his voice.

"This is Brother Zhou Yiqiao, a distinguished guest of our Lin family. This time he came to borrow the weapon refining room to upgrade his magic weapon."

Lin Xiaotian ignored the middle-aged cultivator's attitude and introduced him to Zhou Yiqiao with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is Lin Huo, the weapon refining master of my Lin family."

"Master Lin, I have long heard of your great name."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly in greeting, with a bit of politeness on his face.

However, Lin Huo did not respond to Zhou Yiqiao's politeness. Instead, he snorted coldly with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

"Patriarch, the Lin family's weapon refining room has always been open only to core members of the Lin family. Although this person is a distinguished guest, he is not a member of the Lin family after all. How can he use our Lin family's weapon refining room at will?"

"Besides, this person is so young, how much can he have achieved in refining weapons? If the refining fails and damages the magic weapon of my Lin family, who will bear the responsibility?"

There was a hint of stubbornness in Lin Huo's tone, and it was obvious that he was not welcome to Zhou Yiqiao's arrival.

Come to think of it, Lin Huo usually occupies this refining room alone, enjoying the unique conditions bestowed by the geothermal spring, and has produced countless magical instruments for the Lin family.

Now, an outsider suddenly broke into his territory and demanded to use this space which was almost sacred and inviolable to him, which naturally made him dissatisfied.

Zhou Yiqiao frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling a little unhappy.

Although he is not a member of the Lin family, he has been cooperating with the Lin family for a long time. He and Li Mubai did not deliberately hide their identities. Logically speaking, the top management of the Lin family should have known their origins long ago.

Even so, the Lin Huo in front of him was still so aggressive. He was either really a fanatical refiner who was obsessed with refining and didn't care about anything in the outside world, or it could only be that Lin Xiaotian had instructed him to do so.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yiqiao looked at Lin Xiaotian with a questioning look on his face.

How could a man who could become the patriarch of an immortal cultivation family be a fool? He immediately understood the deep meaning in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes.

Lin Xiaotian was afraid that Zhou Yiqiao would misunderstand him, so his face suddenly darkened and he scolded him.

"Lin Huo, don't be rude!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is a distinguished guest of our Lin family. The refining of the magical instrument this time is of great importance. How can I allow you to speak nonsense here?"

"If you dare to disrespect Fellow Daoist Zhou again, don't blame me for expelling you from the weapon refining room and depriving you of your status as a Lin family cultivator!"

There was an unquestionable majesty in Lin Xiaotian's tone. Lin Huo's face turned pale instantly. He didn't expect that the clan leader would scold him like this for an outsider.

"Chief, I...I know I was wrong."

Lin Huo lowered his head, with a hint of unwillingness in his voice.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please forgive me. Lin Huo was just in a hurry and had no ill intentions."

Lin Xiaotian turned to apologize to Zhou Yiqiao, but Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

"It's okay, Patriarch Lin, don't take it to heart."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled faintly, his tone indifferent. As for whether he had any complaints in his heart, that was another matter entirely.

"Alright, Lin Huo, please leave first. Do not disturb Brother Zhou while he is refining his weapon."

Lin Xiaotian waved his hand, and Lin Huo had to bow and retreat. However, there was obviously some resentment in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Yiqiao before he left.

This man's hatred did not escape Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, but Zhou Yiqiao did not get angry. He just kept this hatred in his heart.

After all, he and the Lin family are still in the honeymoon period. If the other party does not deliberately make trouble, he is still willing to be tolerant.

After Lin Huo left, Lin Xiaotian smiled at Zhou Yiqiao.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Lin Huo is an extraordinary master in refining weapons, but he is a bit arrogant. I hope Fellow Daoist Zhou will not be offended."

"People with ability have tempers, and I understand that."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, and then began to get busy in the refining room, preparing everything needed to refine the magic weapon.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaotian said no more, turned around and left the refining room, leaving the space to Zhou Yiqiao.

As the door of the refining room slowly closed, Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath and began to devote all his attention to refining.

The first magic weapon he took out was the Flowing Light Shuttle.

This treasure is of the same grade as several magical instruments that Zhou Yiqiao needs to upgrade, and it does not belong to Zhou Yiqiao himself, so there is no need to worry about it being destroyed by mistake. Therefore, it is perfect to use it as the first item to try out.

Zhou Yiqiao placed the Streamer Shuttle on the refining furnace and started the underground fire under the furnace. The raging flames instantly enveloped the Streamer Shuttle.

He closed his eyes, and slowly probed his spiritual consciousness into the Flowing Light Shuttle, and began to carefully sense the structure of this magical weapon and the flow of spiritual power.

As time passed, the Light Shuttle gradually turned red under the scorching flames, and the spiritual patterns on it began to flicker with a faint light. Zhou Yiqiao knew that it was time to start trying the Toad Light Refining Treasure Technique.

He took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and began to practice according to the techniques of the Toad Light Treasure Refining Technique.

As the magic formula was put into practice, a toad spirit jade appeared on Zhou Yiqiao's left hand.

A trace of golden light emanated from the Toad Spirit Jade, which was a sign that the power of the Toad Spirit Jade was being activated by the Toad Light Refining Treasure Technique.

However, just as Zhou Yiqiao was about to direct this power to the Flowing Light Shuttle, an accident occurred.

The spiritual patterns on the Flowing Light Shuttle suddenly became extremely unstable, as if affected by the power of the Toad Spirit Jade, and the spiritual energy inside the magic weapon began to run wild.
