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

After barely perfunctorily dealing with Zhao Tiezhu, Zhou Yiqiao quickly left the quiet room with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

After resting for a few days, Li Mubai's condition had obviously improved. At this moment, he also sensed the movement from Zhou Yiqiao's side and blocked Zhou Yiqiao's way.

"Brother Zhou is in such a hurry. What did you find out from Zhao Tiezhu?"

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, then took out two storage bags containing the long sword magic weapon and blood stone and handed them to Li Mubai.

"We have indeed obtained some important information. Now we need to go to the leader of the Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect to confirm it."

"If it is confirmed, I will have to go to the capital of Zhuzhou. I will have to trouble Brother Li to escort this item back to the Tijian Sect."

Li Mubai knew the effort Zhou Yiqiao had put into this matter, so he didn't say anything sarcastic for the sake of the overall situation. He took the two storage bags and nodded solemnly.

"Brother Zhou, rest assured. Li will definitely send these two monsters back to the Sword Sect safely."

“Of course, if Brother Zhou needs anything, you can also contact me through this jade talisman. As long as Li receives the message, he will come to help as soon as possible.”

As he spoke, Li Mubai took out an exquisite jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"It's okay, Zhou. Don't worry, Brother Li."

After saying that, Zhou Yiqiao personally sent Li Mubai to the mountain gate of the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect and watched him leave with the evil sword.

After Li Mubai disappeared over the horizon, Liu Changzhi finally received news from the sect's disciples and rushed to see him off.

Naturally, he did not dare to blame Zhou Yiqiao for not informing Li Mubai of his departure in advance, but asked tremblingly.

"Senior Li, this is..."

"Something happened in the tribe, so I'm going back first."

Zhou Yiqiao answered briefly and then went straight to the point.

"You came at the right time. I just need you to help me check the detailed information of the Zhao family in Zhuzhou."

"Especially the story of the marriage between the young master of the Zhao family and the Xu family of Luming Town several decades ago. The more details the better."

Liu Changzhi looked serious and bowed without hesitation.

"Don't worry, senior. I will ask my disciples to get all the information about Zhuzhou and review it personally. I will give you a detailed report in the shortest possible time."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with Liu Changzhi's execution ability.

"In addition, I will go to Zhuzhou first. Do you have any contact points or trustworthy forces in Zhuzhou?"

Hearing this, Liu Changzhi laughed for some reason.

"It just so happens that this period of time is the time when my Stepping Moon Immortal Sect selects immortal seedlings once every ten years. The sect has set up temporary selection points in all major states within its sphere of influence."

"After you arrive at Zhuzhou Prefecture, please go directly to the center of the prefecture, and you will see the selection flag of our Stepping Moon Immortal Sect. When the time comes, you only need to show this token, and the disciples there will follow your lead."

"As for the information that Senior needs, I will also pass it on to them through the communication method between the sects, and ask them to hand it over to Senior."

As he spoke, Liu Changzhi took out a token engraved with an exquisite moon rabbit pattern from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao took the token, looked at it carefully, and nodded.

"That's great. With this token, it will be much easier to do things."

He stood up and was about to leave, but then he thought of Zhao Tiezhu who was still locked up in the quiet room, and turned around and gave instructions.

"The wounded I brought from the Blood-Draining Valley are still recuperating in the quiet room. If the disciples of the Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect do not want to be injured by the restrictions I set, do not get close until I return."

"Until I come back, ignore whatever he asks."

"He is not emotionally stable right now. If he does anything out of line, you can activate the restrictions in the quiet room at any time to temporarily imprison him."

When Liu Changzhi heard this, his expression froze.

Naturally, he didn't dare to delve into how much truth and falsehood there was in Zhou Yiqiao's words, so he quickly agreed.

"I understand, and I will follow Senior Zhou's instructions."

Seeing that Liu Changzhi agreed, Zhou Yiqiao said no more. His figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Zhuzhou.

With his full flying speed as a Void Refining Cultivator, he saw the outline of Zhuzhou provincial capital in just half a day.

As the political center of a state, the provincial capital is not as good as the holy places where monks live, but the scale and prosperity of the city are second to none among the mortals.

The city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with tall and strong city walls. The city is crisscrossed with streets, lined with shops, and bustling with people.

Zhou Yiqiao was suspended in the sky above the provincial capital. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he could take in the entire city.

Although the spiritual energy in the city is thin, the residents all have rosy complexions and live a rich life. It is obvious that the state capital is also a rich place in the mortal world.

Without stopping for long, he flew directly to the selection point of Stepping Moon Immortal Gate in the center of the city.

In the square in the center of the provincial capital, a huge platform rose from the ground. Above the platform floated a huge flag with a bright moon and a flying crane painted on it. It was the symbol of the Moon-Stepping Immortal Gate.

Below the platform, a group of young people were waiting in line. They were all in high spirits, their eyes full of longing for the path of cultivating immortals.

Zhou Yiqiao did not land on the platform, but landed directly in front of a side hall door next to the platform.

There, several disciples of the Stepping Moon Sect were busy registering information for the young men who came to participate in the selection.

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao falling, a disciple immediately came forward to meet him.

His eyes swept over Zhou Yiqiao and he immediately felt the unfathomable spiritual pressure from Zhou Yiqiao.

The disciple was startled and bowed quickly.

"Senior, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Yiqiao didn't say much. He took out the token Liu Changzhi gave him and handed it to the disciple.

When the disciple saw the token, his expression immediately became respectful.

"So you are a senior from the sect. I apologize for my rudeness."

"Please follow me, Senior. The elder has been waiting inside for a long time."

After saying that, the disciple led Zhou Yiqiao into the side hall.

The space inside the side hall is much larger than it appears from the outside. There are some simple tables and chairs inside. Some disciples of the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect are busy handling various affairs.

The disciple led Zhou Yiqiao to a quiet room, knocked on the door gently, then pushed the door open and motioned Zhou Yiqiao to go in.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and stepped into the quiet room.

In the quiet room, an old man dressed in the clothes of the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect was sitting at the table. When he saw him come in, the old man immediately stood up and saluted.

"I am Du Yiling, the head of the Zhuzhou branch of the Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect. I am honored to meet you, senior."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly as a return gesture. He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Du Yiling, Liu Changzhi should have told you why I came."

Du Yiling nodded quickly, looking respectful.

"Replying to Senior, the Sect Master has already informed me of your coming via the sound transmission note, and has instructed me to fully cooperate with you in your actions."

"As for the Zhao family that you want to investigate, we will have to wait for some time for detailed information from the sect master. I have put together some general information here, please have a look."

As Du Yiling spoke, he took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao took the parchment, unfolded it and glanced at it. It recorded the detailed situation of the Zhao family over the past hundred years, including family members, industry distribution, and some important family events.

"In addition, it is rumored that the Zhao family has produced a cultivator with spiritual roots this year, who plans to join our Stepping Moon Immortal Sect."

"We should be conducting the spiritual root test outside now."

When Zhou Yiqiao looked up, Du Yiling added.

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

Cultivators with spiritual roots are extremely rare in the mortal world. If this young man from the Zhao family really has spiritual roots, then after he enters the world of cultivating immortals, the status of the Zhao family will also rise.

"Take me there to have a look."

Zhou Yiqiao spoke briefly, put away the parchment, and walked out.

Du Yiling did not dare to delay and quickly led the way, taking Zhou Yiqiao out of the side hall and to the bottom of the high platform.

At this time, many young people had gathered in the square below the platform. They all had nervousness and anticipation on their faces, and they were queuing up to wait for the test of their spiritual roots.

In the center of the square, a disciple from the Stepping Moon Sect was holding a bronze mirror and conducting spiritual root tests on the young people in line one by one.

As Zhou Yiqiao and Du Yiling stepped into the square, everyone's attention was involuntarily attracted to this senior with extraordinary temperament, and they cast curious and awe-inspiring glances at them.

Du Yiling's identity was already known to everyone on the first day of the test. He personally led Zhou Yiqiao here, which made everyone talk about Zhou Yiqiao's identity.

The two ignored the gazes of the young people and went up to the platform together.

"Senior, that person over there is the person in the Zhao family who is rumored to have spiritual roots, Zhao Tonglai."

Following the direction Du Yiling pointed, Zhou Yiqiao saw a young man in brocade clothes.

The boy looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tall figure, handsome face, and a heroic look between his brows. One could tell at a glance that the Zhao family had spent a lot of effort on him.

"It is said that he has shown extraordinary talent since he was young, and the Zhao family has spared no effort in training him. Now it seems that he does have some qualifications."

Du Yiling stroked his beard, with a hint of admiration in his words.

Zhou Yiqiao didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Tonglai, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, it was Zhao Tong's turn to take the test.

He walked forward and stood in front of the bronze mirror calmly.

The disciples of the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect began to cast a spell. A faint light appeared on the bronze mirror, slowly enveloping Zhao Tonglai.

As the spell progressed, the light on the bronze mirror became brighter and brighter, and finally formed a spot of light on Zhao Tonglai's body.

"Possess spiritual roots!"

The disciple conducting the test exclaimed in surprise.

Below the stage, everyone's eyes instantly focused on the dazzling light, and they talked about it one after another, with undisguised envy for Zhao Tonglai on their faces.

Zhao Tonglai himself clenched his fists, as if all his efforts had been rewarded, and he could hardly hide his excitement.
