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

Zhou Yiqiao understood what Li Mubai meant.

He was suggesting that Zhou Yiqiao put his own safety first, leave the task of finding his eldest senior brother Baili Jing to several senior brothers and sisters, and he would return to the Tijian Sect with them in three days.

If it were any other day, Zhou Yiqiao would have readily accepted Li Mubai's suggestion. After all, for him, this journey to find his senior brother was too dangerous.

But this time is different. Whether or not the eldest senior brother Baili Jing can be found not only affects the future safety of several senior brothers and sisters, but also the attitude of the Netherworld Demon Sect towards him in the future.

Although my cheap master already knew the destination, it would be impossible for him to return to Wangu Mountain and provide them with shelter in a short period of time.

Therefore, Zhou Yiqiao can only, like several of his senior brothers and sisters, place his hopes on this senior brother whom he has never met.

Li Mubai could clearly see the hesitation on Zhou Yiqiao's face. He sighed and said helplessly.

"Well, after all, this concerns the safety of fellow disciples, so it is understandable that Brother Zhou is unsure for a while."

"How about this, I will buy time for Brother Zhou as much as possible so that Brother Zhou can learn as many clues as possible about your senior brother."

Zhou Yiqiao was extremely delighted when he heard this, and immediately bowed to Li Mubai.

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Li."

Li Mubai waved his hand, his expression did not change at all, and he obviously had no intention of being polite with Zhou Yiqiao.

After all, Li Mubai was somewhat reluctant to be associated with his most hated master for Zhou Yiqiao.

"Let me be frank with you. I'm not making this up. The drunkard's character is very decisive."

"Even if I come forward, I can only buy you three more days at most. In other words, if you can't return to Wangu Mountain after five days, then I will have to leave first with the drunkard."

"Five days is enough. If there is not much gain, Zhou will return to Wangu Mountain first."

Zhou Yiqiao calculated secretly in his mind that although five days was a tight time, if he could make good use of it, it would be enough to search the five locations recorded on the jade slip.

"In this case, I hope Brother Zhou can get what he wants."

Li Mubai nodded upon seeing this, then bowed to the other three people, summoned his magic sword, and flew towards Wangu Mountain.

After seeing Li Mubai off, Zhou Yiqiao's gaze fell on Li Lin, who had been standing obediently beside him.

He thought about it, took out some spiritual objects from his storage bag, put them into a small storage bag, and handed it to Li Lin.

"Li Lin, this is your reward for leading us to the God-Seeking Pavilion. There are too many people here, so you can open it and have a look after you get home."

Zhou Yiqiao instructed Li Lin with a serious face.

In the world of cultivation, wealth should not be shown off. This is a truth that every cultivator who has just started on the path to immortality needs to know.

Li Lin took the storage bag and felt the heavy weight in it. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly knelt on the ground and thanked the master profusely.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Senior Zhou. I will definitely keep it in mind. If you need me to do anything in the future, I will do my best."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal Li Lin that he could leave.

Li Lin bowed respectfully, then carefully put the storage bag into his arms, turned around and left quickly.

After Li Lin walked away, Shen Kuo and the other two stepped forward and said to Zhou Yiqiao with a smile.

"Junior Brother Zhou, I didn't expect that you would make such a reliable Taoist friend during your trip to Zhongzhou. This is really cause for celebration."

The fellow Taoist they were referring to was naturally Li Mubai who left first.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled but said nothing.

The person has been honed to be indestructible, which is far beyond the simple description of "fellow Taoist".

Li Mubai has an aloof personality, but when it comes to friends he truly recognizes, he will stick by his side without hesitation.

Zhou Yiqiao naturally kept this friendship in mind.

He turned to Shen Kuo and the other two and spoke seriously.

"Senior Sister Mu, Senior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Shen, we don't have much time left, so let's set off as soon as possible and look for clues about our senior brother according to the contents of the jade slip."

"Junior Brother Zhou is right. We have already wasted quite a bit of time. We cannot afford any more delays."

Gu Changsheng nodded in agreement.

"Well, without further ado, let's set off now."

As the first person to join the group among the four, Mu Huairou nodded and made the decision. The four of them said no more and jumped onto Zhou Yiqiao's Chiyan Gilded Car and set off towards the first location recorded in the jade slip.

The places recorded in the jade slips are distributed in different corners. Some are hidden in the mountains, and some are hidden in the bustling cities. There is no pattern at all.

Fortunately, these locations are all in the Netherworld Demon Realm, saving them the trouble of traveling long distances across the realm.

The first location is in a hidden valley in the east of the Netherworld.

The four of them flew on swords and soon arrived at the hidden valley.

Looking down from the air, the valley is covered with lush ancient trees. A clear stream meanders through the valley, and the sound of gurgling water adds a bit of vitality to this quiet place.

They slowly landed in the valley. Zhou Yiqiao looked around and found that although there were signs of human activities here, such as some felled trees and traces of cultivation, it was obviously a long time ago and there was no one around.

"It seems that the eldest brother is not here. These traces are at least several decades old."

Gu Changsheng pushed aside a patch of dense jungle, revealing a simple cave that had long been covered with dust, and frowned slightly.

"Yes, although this place is suitable for training, it has obviously been abandoned for some time."

Mu Huairou said with some disappointment.

As it concerns their own future safety, everyone wants to find the Bailijing as soon as possible.

Shen Kuo walked to the stream, scooped up a handful of clean water and washed his face.

"Since the eldest brother is not here, let's go to the next location as soon as possible."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded in agreement, and without staying for long, they set out again on the journey to find the Baili Mirror.

The next three locations are an abandoned mine in the west of the Netherworld, a barren Gobi desert in the north, and an abandoned ancient city in the south.

Every place was like the first valley, with obvious signs of human activity, but without exception, there was no sign of Bailijing.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already dusk of the fourth day. They only have one last day left.

The four of them sat in the ruins of the ancient city, looking at each other, anxious emotions spreading among them.

"There is no trace of the senior brother in the first four locations. Could it be that the senior brother is no longer in these places?"

Shen Kuo's figure broke the silence.

Although he is Zhou Yiqiao's senior brother, he is indeed the youngest among the four. After suffering a series of setbacks during this period, he seemed to be a little impatient.

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head helplessly.

"Now this senior Gu's jade slip is our only chance to find our senior brother. Even if there is a problem, we can only go all the way and continue searching."

"Could it be that the female cultivator surnamed Gu is intentionally giving us wrong clues?"

There was a hint of fatigue in Gu Changsheng's voice.

"It shouldn't be. After Junior Brother Zhou mentioned Senior Brother, Senior Gu's emotional fluctuations didn't seem fake."

Mu Huairou remained silent, his eyes wandering among the ruins, as if looking for something.

Hearing Gu Changsheng's guess, she smiled slightly and rejected it.

"So what should we do now? There is only one day left. If there is no trace of our senior brother at the last location, we will have no choice but to leave the Netherworld Devil Sect and go to another continent to avoid disaster."

Gu Changsheng rubbed his eyebrows and sighed helplessly.

Zhou Yiqiao saw the entire conversation between the two. He stood up and looked firmly at the setting sun that was about to sink into the horizon in the distance, as if he had made a decision.

"How about this, brothers and sisters, you will practice here for one night, and I will travel overnight to check out the last location."

"If there is still no trace of the senior brother over there, I can return overnight and send the senior brothers and sisters out of the Netherworld Demon Realm on the last day."

After hearing what Zhou Yiqiao said, the three of them shook their heads at the same time and rejected his suggestion.

They knew that Zhou Yiqiao made this decision because he saw that the three of them had not recovered from their injuries and looked tired after running around for days.

"Junior Brother Zhou, we are cultivators after all, but we are not so fragile."

Gu Changsheng patted his chest to indicate that he was fine.

Mu Huairou also spoke softly.

"Junior Brother Zhou, we understand how you feel, but we are senior brothers and sisters. How can we let you take risks alone?"

"The four of us can act together and look after each other."

Shen Kuo was even more direct. He put his arm around Zhou Yiqiao's shoulders and teased.

"Junior Brother Zhou, I think you are not thinking about us, but it is true that it will consume too much spiritual energy to fly with the three of us, right?"

Zhou Yiqiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that he had no chance of defeating the three people in front of him. He had no choice but to take them on a journey overnight to the last location recorded in the jade slip.

The four of them rode on the Red Flame Gilded Car, and in the night, they were like a flaming red meteor across the sky, speeding towards their destination.

After a night of flying, the four finally arrived at the last location.

This place is completely different from the previous four locations, it is actually a vast seaside.

Howling, the waves hit the rocks on the shore, making a deafening roar.

The morning stars were sparse in the sky, and a hint of paleness gradually appeared at the junction of the sea and the sky.

The four of them stood on the beach and searched carefully along the coastline, hoping to find any trace of Bailijing.

However, as with the previous locations, there is no sign of life here other than the sound of waves and wind.

"Forget it, please trouble Junior Brother Zhou to escort us away from the Netherworld Demon Sect."

When everyone was disappointed, Mu Huairou was the first to adjust herself and whispered to Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded helplessly, then once again took out the Red Flame Gilded Sword, preparing to take a few people away.

However, just as the four of them stepped onto the Red Flame Gilded Land, Zhou Yiqiao felt a faint fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the endless sea in front of him.

His eyes focused and he immediately signaled the other three to stop.
