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

early morning.

Zhou Yiqiao quit practicing early in the morning, and after washing, he changed into a green Confucian shirt.

He pushed open the door of the small courtyard and prepared to go to Elder Mao's residence to meet him. Unexpectedly, before he even stepped out of the door, the noise of two real people could be heard in the distance.

"You old thing, I just ate your crow's nest. I'll give you one back next time. It's really a pleasure."

"I have been raising this Wu Zhen Que as a spiritual beast for more than ten years. It is about to establish its foundation and take form. It is an extremely rare species among the Wu Zhen Que! Where can you find a second one for me, you old glutton? Only?"

Zhou Yiqiao raised his feet and walked towards the place where Elder Mao and Master Henggui were arguing.

When Elder Mao saw Zhou Yiqiao's arrival, he quickly stepped forward to hold him, and then spoke.

"Nephew Zhou Xian, you are here to judge. This old guy is so stingy. He only had a little bit of food and has been arguing with me for several hours."

When Master Henggui heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared, and stepped forward to argue. Zhou Yiqiao quickly changed the topic elsewhere and stopped the two of them.

"Two seniors, don't worry. We are here to participate in the competition this time. If we delay, I am afraid we will be late."

When Zhou Yiqiao opened his mouth, Elder Mao and Master Henggui had no choice but to hold back for the time being and follow Zhou Yiqiao to the square.

......

When Zhou Yiqiao and the others arrived at the square, hundreds of monks had already gathered in the square. In addition, monks were also arriving from all directions.

Because of the arrival of Yunxian Pavilion, a large number of monks from all over Yanzhou were attracted to this place before the competition. Now that the competition has begun, people from all walks of life have come to the square.

These monks in strange attire are scattered throughout the square. Some sit with their colleagues and talk about their experiences; some sit cross-legged and meditate with their eyes closed; some even take out their futons and start practicing in front of everyone.

In the square, there were noisy discussions from time to time.

"Have you heard? There are several budding alchemy geniuses participating in this competition!"

"Haha, in my opinion, any alchemy genius is not as good as General Xu's adopted son, Wang Haoyu."

"No, no, even if Wang Haoyu is equally talented in alchemy, he is still not as good as the other two young men!"

"Which two?"

"These two people, one is called Zhao Yunxiao, the grandson of Zhao Wuchen, the governor of Nanyang County, and the other is called Ling Tianyu, the only son of Ling Youdao, the general of the Fubo Army!"

"These two geniuses are not only proficient in alchemy, but also have profound cultivation. At such a young age, they are already monks in the late stage of foundation building!"

The monks around were talking a lot, and they were all in high spirits.

Zhou Yiqiao listened carefully to the information exchanged by these people and memorized all the information in his mind.

Both of these are people with big backgrounds, so they should avoid them whenever possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Look, the handsome young man over there wearing a white brocade robe, a silk scarf, and holding a folding fan is Zhao Yunxiao!"

Suddenly someone pointed to a corner on the side of the square and shouted.

Zhou Yiqiao followed the sound and saw a handsome young man in white robe standing there, looking around with a slight smile.

At this time, he was accompanied by several equally graceful beauties, who were quite popular.

"Look, Ling Tianyu is here too."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in black standing on an ancient pine in the square with his hands behind his back. He had thick eyebrows and deep eyes. On a handsome face with sharp edges, there was a A faint smile.

He seemed to be aware of the eyes that were paying attention to him, and turned his head and glanced over, causing another exclamation.

"Tsk tsk, you are indeed a genius. Both of you look very handsome."

Some younger male cultivators felt unhappy when they heard the compliments from everyone, and refuted them loudly.

"Hmph, what is this? I heard that Yunxian Pavilion also sent a candidate this time. The boy from Zhongzhou is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is already a second-level top alchemist."

"Oh? A genius from Central Continent? Then today's competition will be a good show."

All the monks agreed, staring at the entrance of the square with interest.

As soon as the auspicious time came, everyone saw a young man surrounded by several guards, following the Chu generals, galloping towards this side.

When everyone was confused, the group had already climbed onto the high platform in the center of the square.

Zhou Yiqiao looked up and found two middle-aged people sitting at the top of the high platform.

The one on the left is short and fat, with a smile on his face and looks like Maitreya Buddha.

The one on the right is extremely cold, with a face that looks like thousands of years of ice, and his whole person exudes an aura that repels people thousands of miles away.

The short and fat general took a step forward, looked around at the people in the audience, pushed the young man beside him in front of him, and said loudly.

"This son's name is Qin Mu, and he is the direct bloodline of Qin Hongzhi, the deputy master of Yunxian Pavilion. He has been under the master's sect of Yunxian Pavilion for more than three months. He is considered to be half a Taixu sect disciple."

"Qin Mu has just been promoted to a second-level peak alchemist. I believe you all already know that Qin Mu will also participate in today's competition."

The pudgy general continued.

"The rules of this competition are very simple. There are three competitions in total. General Du and I will personally draw lots to determine the elixir you want to refine."

"The elixirs you have refined will be handed over to the Jindan Masters we invited for appreciation. Those who receive unanimous approval from all the Masters will advance to the next round."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

After the pudgy general finished speaking, General Du waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

He cleared his throat and continued.

"Here are the Jindan masters who will be invited to judge this competition."

"Master Zizhen of Yunxian Pavilion, Master Henggui of Xianju, Elder Mao of Phoenix Pavilion..."

A group of golden elixir masters came on stage one after another, including the two old men beside Zhou Yiqiao and Zi Mengqi, whom Zhou Yiqiao had met.

"Haha, Brother Du, you are still so majestic after all these years, and every move reveals your strong dominance and decisiveness."

Master Henggui came on stage and first praised Ling Tianyu, then changed the subject.

"I wonder what are the requirements for participating in this competition?"

"One of my juniors is quite talented in the art of alchemy. It's a pity that he studied alone for more than ten years. Until he became a second-level alchemist, he still worked behind closed doors and never discussed with others."

Zhou Yiqiao's eyelids jumped when he heard what Master Henggui said. As expected, Master Henggui continued to speak.

"My junior's name is Zhou Yiqiao, and he is an inner disciple of the Phoenix Pavilion. Master Mao is also very optimistic about this junior."
