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

"In that case, please follow me back to my house for a chat. I am willing to pay a high price for the recipe of the Na Yuan Bao Dan!"

At this moment, Feng Qishan had completely forgotten the purpose of this trip. He was immersed in the joy of mastering new pill formulas and new pharmacology, and made his own decision.

Indeed, facing a powerful person who could transcend tribulation, Zhou Yiqiao had no room for refusal.

But he did not forget that the purpose of his trip was to not offend the powerful man far away in the Tijian Sect.

Therefore, after hearing Feng Qishan's invitation, Zhou Yiqiao immediately bowed and saluted with a very sincere attitude.

"It's just a useless recipe. If you need it, I can personally deliver it to your house later."

"The reason why I am taking the lead today is because of this subordinate Tang Shishen whom the Second Princess values. I don't want such a person to die in the Sixteenth Princess's mansion for no reason."

His words were extremely vicious. They not only resolved Feng Qishan's embarrassment after his refusal, but also raised the matter of Luo Lishang bringing him to visit Luo Shanhu without authorization to a favorable level.

More importantly, he secretly reminded the old man in front of him that Luo Shanhu and Li Changming were not well-trained and almost harmed a servant who had also made achievements in the art of spiritual medicine.

Feng Qishan frowned slightly when he heard this, then his brows relaxed and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He naturally heard the wit in Zhou Yiqiao's words, but he did not get angry. Instead, he admired Zhou Yiqiao's wisdom and courage even more.

"My friend, you have a point. It is I who was rude."

"Since you care about your friends, I won't force you."

"However, I am determined to obtain the recipe for the Na Yuan Bao Dan. You can come to my residence to discuss it in detail whenever it is convenient for you."

Zhou Yiqiao bowed respectfully, then put away the Fiery Sun Divine Land and stood behind Luo Lishang.

He knew that his part was over, and next it was time for Luo Lishang to reap the fruits of victory and help him rescue Yang Liuyi.

Luo Lishang’s scheming was naturally no less than Zhou Yiqiao’s. Seeing Zhou Yiqiao winking at him behind everyone’s back, he suppressed his smile and walked forward with a serious face.

She spoke, but not to add insult to injury.

"Master Feng, Sixteenth Sister is young and hot-tempered. She cannot control her temper. I hope you will not be offended."

Feng Qishan could hear the hidden meaning in Luo Lishang's words, but he still pretended not to understand and shook his head with a sigh.

"Your Highness is too polite. It's normal for young people like you to be a little hot-tempered."

Having said this, he seemed to have just remembered the purpose of his visit and smiled happily at Luo Shanhu.

"Sixteenth Princess, it seems that this servant was not wrong. There is indeed no problem with the prescription she listed."

Luo Shanhu never expected that Feng Qishan, whom she had recruited, would turn against her so easily. She stood there in a daze for a while, her face changing from gloomy to bright.

"Master Feng is wrong. Even if Zhou Yiqiao proved that the medicinal properties of Radix Astragali and Chiyang Chantu are compatible, it cannot prove that this medicinal diet has no hidden dangers."

A young lady from an aristocratic family who seemed to have a good relationship with Luo Shanhu stood up and tried to defend Luo Shanhu.

However, her self-righteous cleverness made the smile that Luo Shanhu had been barely maintaining on her face freeze in an instant.

She really wanted to turn around and question that so-called "friend", wondering if she knew that Zhou Yiqiao only needed to make one more move to easily resolve the difficulties she was talking about, and at the same time take advantage of the situation to embarrass her, Luo Shanhu, again.

Sure enough, just as she had guessed, Zhou Yiqiao stood out from behind Luo Lishang, looked at Luo Shanhu with a smile, and asked knowingly.

"Does Your Highness think so? If you are still not satisfied with Master Feng's result, I can cook Yang Liuyi's medicinal food on the spot to prove my innocence."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

Luo Shanhu narrowed her eyes and stared at Zhou Yiqiao for a long time, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying her best to calm the turmoil in her heart.

When she opened her eyes again, the light in them had become as calm as a well, without any expression at all.

"Mr. Zhou is right. This princess will keep her promise."

As she spoke, she turned around and bowed to Luo Lishang with a sad look on her face.

"I was too suspicious and wrongly accused my sister. I hope you won't mind. I will come to your house to apologize in person someday."

Luo Lishang smiled lightly and waved his hand generously.

"We are sisters, why should we be so polite? Just don't be so impulsive in the future, Sixteenth Sister."

Having said that, there was a barely perceptible hint of pride in Luo Lishang's eyes.

In today's game, she not only successfully rescued Yang Liuyi, but also made Luo Shanhu lose face in front of her, and made Feng Qishan, the great tribulation-transcending master, look at her and Zhou Yiqiao with new eyes.

Feng Qishan watched this scene from the side and nodded secretly in his heart.

Although he is obsessed with the art of elixirs, it does not mean that he is ignorant of the ways of the world.

Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang's wit and strength made him feel that this perfect couple would definitely be extraordinary in the future.

"Since the matter has been resolved, I will not bother you any more."

Feng Qishan said this and turned his gaze to Zhou Yiqiao.

"My dear friend, I will prepare some wine in my house and wait for your visit someday."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled and nodded.

"The younger generation will definitely keep the appointment."

With Feng Qishan's departure, the storm was completely settled.

Luo Lishang and Zhou Yiqiao said goodbye to everyone and left the scene with Yang Liuyi like a winner.

The young ladies from noble families who had received Luo Shanhu's invitation to come to the party all left with their own excuses, wanting to go home and inform their elders about the series of events that had taken place in Luo Shanhu's mansion that day.

The bustling place was deserted in just half an incense stick of time, creating a miserable scene of monkeys scattering after a fall.

"Your Highness..."

As Luo Shanhu's retainer, Li Changming naturally could not leave in a hurry like those young ladies from aristocratic families.

He stood behind Luo Shanhu, anxiously waiting for Luo Shanhu's anger to come.

"Master Li, didn't you say that your alchemy skills are unmatched among the cultivators of the same level in the Great Xuantian? How do you explain what happened today?"

Li Changming's heart tightened, and he wanted to say that Zhou Yiqiao came from outside the Great Xuantian and did not fall into the category he mentioned.

But if I really said that, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the princess's mansion safely today.

Therefore, he could only try his best to show fear and answered tremblingly.

"Princess, please calm down. What happened today was beyond my expectation."

"Zhou Yiqiao's alchemy skills are indeed superb. Even Master Feng is impressed by them. I am really..."

He was subtly reminding Luo Shanhu that what happened today had shocked even the respected Immortal Emperor Feng Qishan, and it was simply beyond his control.

However, Luo Shanhu ignored Li Changming's explanation and interrupted him coldly.

"enough!"

"This princess doesn't want to hear these excuses. You are my retainer, but you can't even handle such a small matter. What's the point of keeping you!?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changming's face turned pale as paper. He knew Luo Shanhu's temper. Once she got angry, he would probably find it difficult to gain a foothold in the princess's mansion.

He quickly knelt on the ground, his voice filled with desperate pleading.

"Your Highness, I am a loyal subordinate. What happened today was truly an accident."

"Please give me another chance, Princess. I will do my best to make up for my mistake today."

What Li Changming didn't know was that when he was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Luo Shanhu, who was standing in front of him, was looking at him with a sneer on her face, as if she had succeeded.

When Zhou Yiqiao successfully refined the elixir, she already knew that what happened today was irreversible.

The reason why she showed anger was just to let Li Changming see her disappointment in him, so as to further win his heart.

She knew that although Li Changming was not as good as Zhou Yiqiao in alchemy, he still had value in the mansion.

Today's humiliation is enough to frighten Li Changming and make him more loyal to himself in the future.

"In consideration of your past contributions, this princess is willing to give you another chance."

After applying enough pressure, Luo Shanhu's voice softened a little and he began to speak in a soothing manner.

"If you can prove your worth next time, I will forgive you for what happened today."

Hearing Luo Shanhu's sudden change of attitude, Li Changming realized belatedly that he might have fallen into the trap of the princess.

But at this point, he knew that he could no longer refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and ask.

"Excuse me, Princess, what should I do next to prove my worth?"

"Just follow me here, and we'll see what happens."

"Yes."

Li Changming responded with his head lowered, but in his heart he secretly cursed Luo Shanhu for being cunning and insidious.

The two men came to an inconspicuous little house in the backyard of the princess's mansion, one after the other. For some reason, after entering the little house, they instantly disappeared into the princess's mansion.

......

On the other side, Zhou Yiqiao and others brought Yang Liuyi back to Luo Lishang’s temporary residence.

Because of the two people's rescue, Yang Liuyi didn't know that Zhou Yiqiao was the old man who threatened her that night, so she regarded them as her saviors.

As soon as she arrived at the mansion, Yang Liuyi bowed gracefully, her gratitude evident in words.

"Thank you both for saving me. I have no way to repay you, so I am willing to serve as a slave to repay your kindness."

Luo Lishang hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, smiling as beautifully as a flower.

"Miss Yang, you are too polite. Since I have chosen you to join my palace, I have the obligation to ensure your safety."

Zhou Yiqiao also smiled slightly, his eyes gentle.

"Miss Yang, if you want to thank someone, then thank the Second Princess. Everything was her idea."

Yang Liuyi's eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded in agreement, feeling deeply moved.

Luo Lishang comforted Yang Liuyi again until her emotions stabilized, then he ordered Ling'er to take Yang Liuyi to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to revise her identity documents so that she could officially become a member of the mansion.

After Luo Shanhu's commotion, everyone was a little afraid of Luo Lishang's power. This time the personnel transfer became extremely smooth, and the process that was originally supposed to take three days was completed within half a day.
