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

When Liu Yun and others saw their master bowing to Li Jianlan, they also hurriedly bowed and made a sincere request.

"I hope you can help me, senior."

Li Jianlan waved his hand and spoke casually.

"It's okay to treat him when the time comes, but I've been staying in the Netherworld Demon Realm with little friend Zhou for so long, and the spirit wine in this gourd is almost gone..."

Zhou Yiqiao knew exactly what Li Jianlan meant, and hurriedly gave instructions to Liu Yun, who was in charge of handling the auction house's affairs.

"Don't worry about the spirit stones, hurry up and get the best spirit wine from Xianyuan Pavilion for you!"

Liu Yun took the order and left. Li Jianlan was in a good mood. He looked at the remaining people and prepared to remove the illusion for them.

"Come on, everyone, come and see Tuoba Qingshan's tricks."

Li Jianlan carried the unconscious Tianlei, as if he were a rag doll, and gently placed him on the soft couch beside him, motioning for the others to come forward one by one.

Li Jianlan activated his spiritual power and tapped the back of Tianlei's neck. The next moment, the faint rune appeared again, but this time, it became much clearer.

“Huh!?”

Li Jianlan exclaimed in surprise, and Zhou Yiqiao's heart was instantly in suspense.

Zhou Yiqiao knew that Li Jianlan was the only one among the people present who saw through Tuoba Qingshan's trick. If even he was helpless against this deception, then his subordinates would be really helpless in the short term.

"Senior, is there anything difficult?"

Li Jianlan frowned, his eyes fixed on the rune on the back of Tianlei's neck.

Under the stimulation of Li Jianlan's spiritual power, the rune seemed to come alive, flashing with a deep light and exuding an extraordinary aura.

"This trick is far more complicated than I thought."

"Tuoba Qingshan's attainments in the art of illusion arrays are indeed extraordinary."

Li Jianlan said in a deep voice, with a rare hint of solemnity in his tone.

"this......"

Zhou Yiqiao was even more worried, but he didn't dare to show it easily because of Li Jianlan's face.

Li Jianlan saw Zhou Yiqiao looking strong and calm, like a naughty boy who had succeeded, and burst into laughter.

"Since I can see the subtlety of this illusion, I naturally have a way to break it. Little friend Zhou, don't worry too much."

As he spoke, Li Jianlan's fingers moved rapidly in the air, outlining complex tracks of spiritual power, and finally, condensed into a faint white cyclone on Tianlei's forehead.

The moment the cyclone was formed, a wisp of black mist surrounded Tianlei's body and gradually faded.

"Senior Li, what is this?"

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but ask, his worry growing stronger and stronger.

Li Jianlan did not reply to Zhou Yiqiao immediately, but concentrated on controlling the white cyclone.

The cyclone slowly rotated, releasing soft and pure energy fluctuations, which formed a sharp contrast with the black mist lingering around the sky thunder.

"This is the 'Pure Spirit Vortex', a secret technique I learned from an ancient sect when I traveled around the world in my early years."

"It can purify all filth and illusions. Although it can't easily defeat Tuoba Qingshan's advanced sleight of hand, it can still play a key role."

The situation improved slightly, and Li Jianlan finally spared some time to think and answered in a deep voice.

As the Pure Spirit Vortex continued to operate, the black mist surrounding Tian Lei's body gradually lost its previous intensity, began to become thinner, and finally seemed to be completely absorbed into the cyclone and turned invisible.

At the same time, Tianlei's face gradually regained its color and his breathing became steady. He was obviously waking up from a deep coma.

“See, the effect is quite good.”

Li Jianlan smiled slightly and withdrew his fingers. The pure spiritual vortex also dissipated, leaving only a faint spiritual light flickering in the air for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao finally felt relieved and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your help, Senior. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark by that old bastard Tuoba Qingshan and wrongly blame my subordinates."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou."

Li Jianlan looked detached and carefree. He waved his hand, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the awakened Tianlei, he turned to look at the remaining people.

"Don't just stand there, come here so I can remove the sleight of hand, and don't delay me from drinking."

Under Li Jianlan's instructions, the remaining people stepped forward one by one to have their sleight of hand removed.

Li Jianlan's movements were smooth and flowing. After he became familiar with the operation of the spiritual power of the sleight of hand from Tian Lei, he cleared the remaining people very smoothly.

Soon, the illusions of everyone present were successfully removed, and they saw the real scene outside the sword washing pool.

"It's my incompetence that I failed to complete your instructions."

Chu Tianxing took the initiative to step forward and take responsibility.

"That old man Tuoba Qingshan is a great man who has transcended the tribulation. Let alone you, even if I were here, I wouldn't be much better."

"Don't mention this matter again."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled and waved his hand, and it was obvious that he was in a much better mood now.

Just at this moment, Liu Yun hurried back with the best spiritual wine in Xianyuan Pavilion according to Zhou Yiqiao's instructions. Before entering the door, a rich aroma of wine had already wafted around, which made people feel refreshed.

"Senior, this is the 'Jade Liquid of Jade Spring' treasured by Xianyuan Pavilion. It is made of water from a thousand-year-old Jade Spring and dozens of rare spiritual fruits. It is carefully brewed by the alchemy master in the sect. Every drop of it contains a huge amount of spiritual power and vitality."

Liu Yun respectfully handed over the jade bottle in his hand, his words full of pride.

Li Jianlan took the jade bottle and gently pulled out the cork. He smelled a refreshing fragrance. He closed his eyes slightly, savoring this gift from nature, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, yes, yes, this 'Jade-like Liquid' is worthy of the remaining wine in my gourd."

After saying that, Li Jianlan did not hesitate to pour the wine in the bottle into his wine gourd. The originally slightly monotonous wine in the gourd was instantly dyed with a layer of light green, which made it look even more magical.

Li Jianlan raised his head and drank a few glasses of wine, then waved his hand to remove the illusion on Liu Yun's body. His figure suddenly became extremely blurry and disappeared from the sight of Zhou Yiqiao and others.

Then, they heard Li Jianlan's voice coming from outside Chenjian Tower.

"It's rare for you brothers to meet each other. Rest for three days and then set off in three days."

As Li Jianlan left, Zhou Yiqiao and others were still immersed in that detached and free mood.

Just as everyone was sighing, Li Mubai, Shen Kuo and the other two walked out from the inner room.

After a period of rest and spiritual adjustment, Shen Kuo and the other two looked much better. Although they were still a little weak, they were no longer in danger.

"Junior Brother Zhou, we have heard from Fellow Daoist Li about your experience."

There was a hint of guilt in Shen Kuo's voice.

"If we hadn't been trapped, you wouldn't have been facing the pressure from the Netherworld Demon Sect alone."

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand, indicating that Shen Kuo should not blame himself.

"Brother Shen, what are you talking about? When my junior brother was seriously injured and unconscious, it was the senior brothers and sisters who helped him recover."

"Now that Junior Brother is doing this, it is also the duty of fellow disciples. Don't worry about it."

Everyone took their seats. After Liu Yun served tea to everyone, he quickly left Chenjian Tower with Tian Lei and his subordinates.

"Brother Shen, how do you feel now?

"Zhou Yiqiao asked with concern.

Shen Kuo smiled slightly and patted his chest.

"It's all fine now. Thanks to Senior Li for helping us. Otherwise, we would never be able to escape from the restrictions set by the Netherworld Demon Sect."

Having said that, Shen Kuo seemed to have thought of something and bowed to Li Mubai beside him.

"Of course, we also have to thank Brother Li Dao for his full efforts in treating us. Otherwise, we would not be able to recover even a little bit of our cultivation within an hour."

Li Mubai smiled and shook his head, with no intention of saying anything to disturb Zhou Yiqiao and his fellow apprentice from reminiscing about the past.

Seeing that Shen Kuo and the other two were in better condition, Zhou Yiqiao's worries were alleviated a lot.

"Brother and sister, what are your plans for the future?"

He considered his words and finally asked the question that concerned him most at the moment.

"Since you have learned about the incident from Brother Li, you should already know that I, Junior Brother, have completely offended Tuoba Qingshan this time, and I will not come to the Netherworld Demon Realm again in the short term."

"I plan to return to Zhongzhou with Brother Li, you guys..."

Shen Kuo, Gu Changsheng, and Mu Huairou looked at each other, and finally Shen Kuo spoke as a representative.

"Junior Brother Zhou, we have just considered this matter and decided not to go to Zhongzhou for the time being."

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned and a little surprised when he heard this.

"Why? Are you still planning to stay in this Netherworld Demon Realm?"

Shen Kuo shook his head and smiled.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you should know that the three of us have been trapped in the maze for hundreds of years, and our cultivation has not improved at all. We have fallen behind a lot."

"Even if we go with you to Middle-earth, we will still be holding you back."

"In this world, there is no reason for senior sisters and brothers to rely on their junior brothers for care."

"But...if you stay in the Netherworld Demon Realm, what will you do if that old fellow Tuoba Qingshan attacks you again?"

Zhou Yiqiao frowned, obviously having some concerns about Shen Kuo's proposal.

Hearing Zhou Yiqiao's concern, Gu Changsheng and Mu Huairou also laughed.

"Junior brother, have you ever thought about why Tuoba Qingshan only dared to imprison us but not to take our lives directly?"

Gu Changsheng took a sip of tea, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

"He did this because, firstly, he was afraid that our master would know the truth and go straight to the Netherworld Devil Sect without caring about anything else. Secondly, he was also worried about our senior brother who never showed up."

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned. It was the first time he heard about his senior brother Baili Jing. He couldn't help but feel curious.

"Senior Brother Baili Jing? I remember Master told me that Senior Brother was in seclusion outside, preparing to break through to the Refining Void stage. Is there a hidden story behind this?"
