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

The door of Jiachen's refining room slowly opened, and Zhou Yiqiao, who had put on a simple green shirt, stepped forward and appeared in front of the elders.

He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight bridge of nose, thin lips pursed slightly, and a calm look on his face, showing no hint of fatigue.

A green shirt concealed his strong physique, but at this moment he revealed a gentle and elegant temperament.

"My friend, is this Zhou Yiqiao?"

One of the leading old men asked.

"It's this junior who has met several elders."

Zhou Yiqiao looked startled when he saw the elders in front of him, and then immediately bowed respectfully and clasped his fists.

When the elders saw that Zhou Yiqiao was handsome, with advanced cultivation and superb skills, yet he was still so humble and cautious, the kindness in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Don't be nervous, little friend. The vision of refining a third-level magic weapon will inevitably attract the attention of the outside world. I am here to control the vision within a certain range to prevent more people from knowing about it."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao bowed again, this time expressing gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you all the elders for protecting the Dharma. I am very honored!"

"You're welcome. You achieved the golden elixir without any previous master, and now you have successfully advanced to the third level of weapon refiner. According to the rules of the sect, you should be promoted to a direct disciple or become an elder of the sect."

"If something happens here, why don't you come with us to Fengqi Pavilion. The sect master has been waiting for a long time."

The leader of the elders smiled and suggested, and the others agreed.

"In this case, it is better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders."

Zhou Yiqiao thought for a while and agreed.

"Very good, then come with us. We have dispersed the disciples near Fengxi Cliff. You don't have to worry about your identity being exposed."

After the leading elder finished speaking, he took out a pure white boat, carried everyone and flew out, heading towards the Phoenix Nest where Fengqi Pavilion was located.

Within a moment, the familiar huge tower appeared in sight. The lips of the elder who was driving the boat moved slightly, and a silent message was transmitted to the ears of Zhenjun Chengxuan in Fengqi Pavilion.

Everyone waited patiently. After three breaths, the elder turned back with a smile and said.

"The sect master already knows about it, I'll just wait until we land."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then the boat slowly landed in front of the tower, and everyone jumped off the boat.

Zhou Yiqiao jumped down with the elders and immediately heard the long-lost voice of True Lord Chengxuan.

"It's really you."

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyes and saw Zhenxuan Chengxuan standing under an ancient tree and saying with a smile.

"Princess Fengxiao, even with the help of Mr. Luo and the deputy sect master, is still wasting time in building the foundation."

"As a bodyguard of the princess, you have quietly advanced to the golden elixir. You have also made great achievements in elixirs and weapons. Even Yi Ming is far behind you."

Hearing the words of the sect leader, several elders around Zhou Yiqiao looked surprised again. Since the words in the record were unclear, they never thought that this disciple would actually make achievements in the alchemy path.

"Sect Master, you are so impressed. This junior is just lucky. He encountered some opportunities by chance. His true strength cannot be compared with Senior Brother Linyang."

"Oh? Really, you are quite humble."

Zhenjun Chengxuan looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a smile.

“He who helps himself, God will help him, so you don’t have to belittle yourself!”

"The rules of my Phoenix Pavilion are that all disciples who advance to the golden elixir level will either become disciples of high-level officials, or be promoted to elders to act as agents for a party's affairs. What do you think?"

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then answered with his hands raised.

"Junior has always been used to being idle. It is better to be promoted to elder and find a leisure job to feel comfortable."

Zhenjun Chengxuan raised his eyebrows, as if he already knew his answer.

"It was exactly as I expected."

"Well, the Holy Emperor has included the Zheng Kingdom in the north into his territory a few days ago, and I, the Phoenix Pavilion, have also been assigned a state."

"The higher-ups within the sect have decided to establish a college there to recruit new blood for the sect. I will leave the position of dean to you."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao looked happy and quickly thanked him.

"Thank you so much for your love, sect master. I will give my best to you and die!"

He was originally worried that hesitation would be in the limelight during this period and cause unnecessary trouble.

Now that he has the opportunity to stay away from the sect's interest disputes, his troubles can be regarded as solved.

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao agree, Zhenjun Chengxuan simply chuckled and then spoke.

"In this case, from today on, you will be the elder of my Phoenix Pavilion and the acting dean of the Phoenix Academy in New Zhengzhou."

"If you have any requests, you might as well tell us now. As long as they are reasonable conditions, I can agree to it immediately."

After hearing the words of True Lord Chengxuan, Zhou Yiqiao pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"The disciple's natal magical weapon has not been refined yet. I wonder if the time for taking office can be extended for a moment or two?"

Upon hearing this, Zhenjun Chengxuan and the elders looked at each other, and then agreed with a smile.

"What do I think it is?"

"The Zheng Kingdom has just been conquered. After that, the royal family will clean up the remaining evildoers and give out the emperor's favor. Then it will be time for us and other sect families to move in to share the benefits."

"Including the construction time of my Phoenix Academy, you still have five years."

After saying this, Zhenjun Chengxuan took out a jade slip from his sleeve robe and threw it into Zhou Yiqiao's hand.

"One of your weapons has reached the third level, but you still haven't refined the natal magical weapon. You must be trying to get it right in one step and forge the third-level magic weapon."

"This jade slip contains the forging experience of many seniors. Take it and take a look. It can be regarded as a gift from me for your promotion to elder."

Zhou Yiqiao took the jade slip with both hands and bowed to True Lord Chengxuan.

"Thank you, Master."

Having said this, Zhenjun Chengxuan waved his hand, as if to see off his guests.

"The caves containing third-level spiritual veins in the sect are currently in short supply. The specific distribution needs to wait until you return from New Zhengzhou to make arrangements."

"As for other details, Elder Hao next to you will discuss it with you in detail."

After hearing these words, Zhou Yiqiao cupped his hands, turned around and left Fengqi Pavilion with the elders around him.

Just as he walked out of the gate of Fengqi Pavilion, the elders beside him paid another compliment.

"Congratulations to Elder Zhou for your promotion. If Elder Zhou was not in urgent need of refining his natal magic weapon, I would definitely have a drink with Elder Zhou!"

"Haha, Elder Zhou has little potential in his old age. We will still have to rely on Elder Zhou in the future!"

"When Elder Zhou returns to the clan in the future, I will definitely hold a banquet in Deyi Building for Elder Zhou!"

After a few warm greetings, a group of elders left one after another, leaving only Elder Hao who stayed where he was and did not walk away.

He took out a file from his sleeve robe and handed it into Zhou Yiqiao's hands.

"Elder Zhou, these are the relevant details related to the construction of Phoenix Academy in New Zhengzhou. Elder Zhou is asked to keep them properly and hand them over to the sect when he returns to the sect in the future."

After saying that, he said a few more words of congratulations, and then left Fengchao under the watch of Zhou Yiqiao.
