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

After getting Luo Lishang's confirmation, everyone in the team was cheered up.

The group cheered and prepared to enter the valley, but Zhou Yiqiao stopped them outside.

"Just in case, let's set up a formation outside the valley first."

He looked at everyone and suggested.

Luo Lishang agreed with this very much and immediately ordered several monks in the team who specialized in formations to start setting up the formation.

After all, these people are formation masters trained by Daxuantian, and their formation techniques are extremely skilled.

In just a moment, a small magic array that combined concealment and protection was quietly formed, covering half of the valley.

Although they didn't think the ancient species would discover them, it was always better to be cautious.

After doing all this, the entire team slowly stepped into the valley.

The space inside the valley is much larger than the outside world, and the dense jungle and steep mountains completely block out the outside world.

A deep pool of water appeared before their eyes.

"The fluctuations sensed by the treasure mirror seem to be in that pool of water."

Luo Lishang looked towards the pool, and a gleam of light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

After saying that, Zhou Yiqiao walked to the edge of the pond first and released his spiritual sense to search nearby.

"There's nothing unusual here."

He withdrew his spiritual sense and reported his findings to the people behind him.

"It shouldn't be."

Luo Lishang walked forward with the Lingbo Detecting Treasure Mirror and sensed it carefully again. The light on the magic weapon was indeed pointing towards the depths of the pool, without any deviation.

"It looks like someone needs to go down and search."

Li Mubai had been standing at the end of the team, and when he heard the conversation between Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang, he spoke out a suggestion.

Luo Lishang's beautiful eyes turned slightly and she looked around.

"Let me do it."

Luo Lishang heard this and was about to say something, but Zhou Yiqiao interrupted him.

"Your Highness, please stay here and take charge of the situation. I will go down and take a look. If there is any change, I will be able to respond in time."

Zhou Yiqiao's words were not spoken on impulse, but were the result of careful consideration.

Among those present, his spiritual power was undoubtedly among the best. After entering the pool, he was most likely to discover traces of spiritual fruit.

What's more important is that, in the entire team, except for himself and Li Mubai, the rest are from Daxuantian. Luo Lishang stays on the shore and can better coordinate and command everyone to ensure that Zhou Yiqiao can respond quickly if something unexpected happens underwater.

Luo Lishang obviously hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Zhou."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly, took a deep breath, then jumped lightly into the pool.

The deep pool was filled with ripples as he entered the water, but soon returned to calm.

Zhou Yiqiao's figure gradually sank in the water. After his eyes gradually adapted to the underwater light, he began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

The bottom of the pool was not made of mud or rocks as he had imagined. Instead, it was like a huge mirror, reflecting colorful luster.

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked, he had never seen such a strange sight before.

He carefully touched the "mirror" with his toes, but found that it was not a solid entity, but a strange energy field, soft yet tough, as if it could support the weight of the entire pool.

"interesting."

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself and decided to continue exploring in depth.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully probing his spiritual sense into the energy field, trying to sense its structure and principles.

The spiritual consciousness slowly penetrated into the energy field like a fine needle. However, after only half an incense stick of time, Zhou Yiqiao frowned.

He could feel his consciousness being slowly pulled along by a strange force, following a certain predetermined trajectory, and entering a chaotic and unknown area.

Then, a sudden sharp pain surged in his mind, making him groan. He suddenly opened his eyes, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

Zhou Yiqiao knew something was wrong, so he quickly stopped detecting with his spiritual sense and left the strange energy field.

After exiting the energy field, Zhou Yiqiao felt dazed, as if he had just woken up from a long dream.

He calmed himself down, looked around, and found that he was still at the bottom of a deep pool, and the strange energy field still quietly enveloped him, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

"What happened just now?"

Zhou Yiqiao frowned and fell into deep thought.

Just now, the moment his consciousness touched the energy field, he felt an inexplicable feeling of dizziness.

The feeling was uncomfortable, disgusting even, as if something was eroding his soul.

Zhou Yiqiao pondered for a while and finally decided not to act rashly. He returned to the surface first to discuss countermeasures with Luo Lishang and Li Mubai.

After making up his mind, Zhou Yiqiao slowly floated up and returned to the shore.

When Luo Lishang and Li Mubai saw him return, they immediately came to greet him.

"Brother Zhou, what's the situation underwater?"

Li Mubai asked anxiously.

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head, looking solemn.

"There is a strange energy field underwater. As soon as my consciousness came into contact with it, I felt a strong sense of discomfort."

"I have never seen such a scene before, so I dare not act rashly. I will come up here to listen to your opinions first."

Luo Lishang frowned.

"Could it be that......"

Hearing Luo Lishang's murmurs, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes.

"Your Highness, do you know the origin of this energy field?"

Luo Lishang nodded slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in his expression.

"I have read similar records in an ancient book. This energy field is likely a restriction left over from ancient times to protect some precious spiritual objects in heaven and earth."

"Legend has it that this kind of restriction is not only extremely powerful, but also contains the power of ancient laws. Anyone who trespasses without permission will suffer damage to their consciousness at best, or even death at worst."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao was secretly glad that he did not act rashly.

He looked at Luo Lishang, his eyes gleaming with a gleam of curiosity.

"Then, Your Highness, do you know how to safely pass through this restriction, or how to unlock it?"

Luo Lishang bit her red lips lightly and said after thinking for a moment.

"The ancient texts only mentioned the existence of this restriction, but did not elaborate on how to solve it."

"But since it's meant to protect spiritual creatures, perhaps we can try to communicate with it in a gentle way, or find the right conditions to trigger the ban."

"communicate?"

Li Mubai couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"This restriction is a dead object. How can we communicate with it?"

“This communication is not that communication.”

Luo Lishang winked playfully, with a sly smile hanging on both sides of her cheeks, making her look extremely lively and agile, like an elf who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

“Ancient prohibitions often have the core of establishing a refined predecessor’s true essence. As long as one can gain recognition from the core, or find a medium that resonates with it, it is possible to temporarily lift or avoid the power of the prohibition.”

"When I was still in the palace, I had the honor of studying similar communication techniques with several teachers. This time, I will accompany Master Zhou into the water to try to communicate with this restriction."

After Luo Lishang finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Yiqiao and the other two to express their opinions, he jumped directly into the dark blue pool.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded to Li Mubai, and after receiving the other party's response, he followed Luo Lishang and jumped into the pool.

They sank rapidly and soon arrived in front of the strange energy field.

"Mr. Zhou, please step back a distance and let me test the depth of this restriction first."

Luo Lishang spoke softly, her voice was unusually clear in the water, as if it was not affected by the water quality.

Zhou Yiqiao stepped back as he was told, his eyes fixed on Luo Lishang.

Luo Lishang flipped his hands, and hundreds of copper coins shining with golden light appeared out of thin air, flying and circling around Luo Lishang.

She muttered something, directing the copper coins to arrange into a circle according to a special pattern. Eventually, they turned into a small star array shining with golden light, hanging above the water.

Luo Lishang raised her hands and made hand gestures, muttering an obscure spell. Suddenly, endless golden light burst out from the formation and enveloped her.

The next second, the golden light suddenly disappeared, revealing the situation inside the formation.

Luo Lishang was floating safely in the center of the pool. Colorful energy was flowing slowly around her, as if protecting her.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but be impressed by Luo Lishang's methods.

His spiritual consciousness had just been eroded by these energies, and he was clearly aware of the power and danger contained in these energies. However, Luo Lishang was able to coexist peacefully with them and even seemed to be trying to establish a connection with them. His tenacity was truly amazing.

Luo Lishang slowly opened her eyes, a gleam of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she gently pointed forward, and the star array slowly rotated, carrying her and Zhou Yiqiao deeper into the center of the energy field.

As they went deeper, the fluctuations in the energy field became weaker and weaker, and finally subsided completely.

Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang successfully passed through the energy field and came to the deepest part of the pool.

Here, they saw a strange plant emitting a faint light, with a crystal clear fruit on it.

The fruit hung quietly at the top of the plant, with a faint halo flowing on its surface, as if there was a pulse of life beating there.

Under the influence of the spiritual fruit, the surrounding water formed a gentle vortex, which seemed to be protecting it and worshiping it.

The fish and other creatures in the pond stay away from this area, making it a mysterious and peaceful sanctuary.

As soon as Luo Lishang's eyes came into contact with the spiritual fruit, he immediately recognized its origin and couldn't help but blurt it out.

“Taichu Immortal Fruit!”

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his heart was shocked.

Before this, he had only heard of the name of the Taichu Immortal Fruit from fragments of ancient books.

It is said that this fruit was conceived when the world was first created, and it contains endless vitality and the truth of heaven and earth. After taking it, not only can one be reborn, but one will also have the opportunity to comprehend the most original power between heaven and earth. It is a treasure that countless practitioners and even monsters dream of!
