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

In Elder Mao's residence, the two elders Sun and Li who came after hearing the news were sitting in the hall, quietly listening to Zhou Yiqiao's description.

Regarding the life and death of the disciples within the gate and the safety of Yipingdu Mine, the two elders Sun and Li could only put aside their prejudices and discuss with Elder Mao.

"If we go by the descriptions of several senior brothers and the guesses of my disciples, the strength of that demon clan is at least at the level of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen."

"Logically speaking, it should be quite easy for a person of such strength to discover his whereabouts, but for some reason, this demon was able to cross many defense lines and lurk near our Yipingdu area."

"Forgive my disciples for speaking frankly. Senior Brother Liao's death is a small matter, but it is a big deal that the demon clan member is wandering outside our Yi Pingdu."

After Zhou Yiqiao said this, Elder Sun nodded.

"What Zhou Xiaoyou said is indeed reasonable. The Yipingdu Mine is our sect's strategic resource. We must step up our vigilance to avoid causing a catastrophe."

Elder Mao and Elder Li both nodded, agreeing with Elder Sun's point of view.

After discussion, the three decided to truthfully report to the sect and request support. At the same time, they would be more vigilant and arrange patrols to avoid sneak attacks by the demon clan.

Zhou Yiqiao will naturally not object to these arrangements. He only cares about whether his own safety can be guaranteed.

After Zhou Yiqiao explained everything clearly, Elder Mao spoke up.

"Yipingdu will be strictly managed from now on. No one can enter or leave without authorization, including me."

"Nephew Zhou Xian, please step aside. I still have some matters to discuss with the two elders, Sun and Li."

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao bowed his hands respectfully, stepped back and left Elder Mao's residence.

After Zhou Yiqiao returned to his residence, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

With a thought in his mind, he released all the seven swords and four beasts that he had always carried with him from the spirit beast bag.

The four beasts flew out of the storage bag and immediately circled around Zhou Yiqiao with joy, while Zhou Yiqiao looked at them with a faint smile.

After a while, Zhou Yiqiao gave instructions.

"I want you to go on guard outside Yipingdu. If you see the whereabouts of a demon clan member, come back and report to me immediately."

The four beasts nodded in unison when they heard the words, and then turned into four rays of light, each flying towards the four directions of Yi Pingdu.

Watching the four beasts leaving, a look of solemnity flashed between Zhou Yiqiao's brows.

"Elder Mao now prohibits people from entering and exiting. For safety reasons, the matter of selling elixirs to He Yunxi can only be temporarily suspended for a while."

"Judging from Liao Yuhua's injuries, the monster's strength is considered a good player even in the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen. If you increase your strength now, you will have more confidence if you encounter this monster in the future."

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself, and then placed in front of him one by one the magic weapons that were still suitable for him from the storage bag.

"Ghost Roaring Whip", "High Wind Sword", "Autumn Water Blade", "Golden Wind Flag", "Beast Bone Nails", "Five Ghosts Mysterious Clothes".

"It is no longer possible to significantly improve your cultivation level in a short period of time. The only solution for now is to refine these spiritual weapons again to increase their power. By then, you will be able to deal with the demons in the Foundation Establishment Stage. One point sure.”

Zhou Yiqiao murmured to himself, holding the Ghost Roaring Whip in his hand, using his energy to activate the spiritual power in his body and pouring it into the whip body.

In an instant, gusts of black wind rolled up from the black and purple body of the Ghost Roaring Whip, exuding a chilly aura that made people shudder.

Zhou Yiqiao let out a breath of turbid air, then flipped his wrist, and a series of magic techniques landed on the Ghost Roaring Whip.

"Oh!"

A shrill wail like a ghost crying like a wolf came from the Ghost Crying Whip. The black light on the Ghost Crying Whip was strong, and a ghastly and terrifying aura rushed towards Zhou Yiqiao.

He remained motionless, just stretched out his hand, and the cold aura of the Ghost Crying Whip fell into his right hand very obediently.

"I have already sacrificed these spiritual weapons several times during the three years of seclusion. Now if I want to go further, I can only use blood essence to sacrifice them."

Zhou Yiqiao murmured in a low voice. He put his finger to his lips and bit it gently, and a drop of blood immediately emerged.

He flicked his fingers into the void, and his blood essence was immediately absorbed by the Ghost Roaring Whip.

After the Ghost Roar Whip swallowed up this drop of essence and blood, Zhou Yiqiao made several more handprints and printed them on the whip body.

A dazzling mysterious light suddenly erupted, runes were densely covered on the whip body, ghosts screamed, and the evil wind roared.

In an instant, Zhou Yiqiao felt that his connection with Ghost Roaring Whip had become closer, and he felt a vague sense of intimacy.

His face turned pale, and he nodded with satisfaction. He took out a blood essence fruit that he had not taken for a long time from his storage bag, swallowed it whole, and quickly replenished the lost energy and blood.

After his face turned rosy again, Zhou Yiqiao picked up the Swift Wind Sword and made it in the same way as the Ghost Roaring Whip, and also used blood essence to refine it.

He kept repeating this process until a few hours later, after refining all the six spiritual weapons in front of him with blood essence, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"In this way, my strength has increased by about 10% in the shortest possible time."

Zhou Yiqiao stretched and stood up contentedly.

He walked towards the door, opened it and walked outside.

A golden light happened to fall into the courtyard.

Zhou Yiqiao took a closer look and saw that it was the Seven Swordsmen he had sent out during the day.

"How about it?"

When Zhou Yiqiao asked, he had already stepped out of the house and walked straight to Qijian.

Qijian heard the inquiry and quickly shook his tail and nodded.

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao stretched out his hand to touch Qijian's forehead, his consciousness sank into it, and a memory emerged in his mind.

This monster has long horns, pale green skin, and is covered with scales. It looks ugly and ferocious, and its cultivation has reached the level of perfection.

Based on Zhou Yiqiao's observation, even ordinary monks in the fake elixir realm would hardly be able to match him.

After getting the information he wanted, he nodded with a smile on his face, very satisfied with the efficiency of Seven Swords.

"Thanks a lot."

Zhou Yiqiao stroked Qijian's head and praised.

Qijian called twice excitedly, rubbed Zhou Yiqiao's palm, and looked like he was very useful, and then disappeared into the spirit beast bag.

Now that the seven swords have been obtained, Zhou Yiqiao decided not to take any more risks to prevent the Thunder Spiders from encountering any unexpected consequences.

He communicated with the Thunder Spiders and informed them to return to Yipingdu immediately.

After waiting for about half an hour, the three Thunder Spiders returned to Zhou Yiqiao's residence one after another.

He followed the method of taming animals in the Beast Taming Manual, and after getting intimate with each Sky Thunder Spider, he also conducted a comprehensive search on their memories.

After comparing and confirming the memories of Seven Swords, Zhou Yiqiao put the Thunder Spiders into the spirit beast bag, looked in the direction of the demon monk, and murmured to himself.

"It's not a good thing."
