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

For more than twenty days, Zhou Yiqiao stayed awake and constantly searched for inspiration from classics. Ling Ling tried nearly ten thousand combinations and finally identified one of the spiritual plants.

This kind of spiritual plant is called the Ice Lotus Fruit Tree. As the name suggests, it is an ice-attributed spiritual plant, and it is extremely cold-resistant. It is used in many cold-type elixirs.

Zhou Yiqiao was able to determine the medicine based on a coincidence.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the refining of the Yin and Yang He Yuan Dan, and the selection of Lingzhi was naturally placed on Qijian.

During one day's alchemy experiment, he needed a spiritual plant called the Snow Lotus Tree, but Seven Swords accidentally brought back the Ice Lotus Tree.

Zhou Yiqiao did not blame Qijian for his negligence, but instead used the Ice Lotus Fruit Tree with the intention of giving it a try.

But he didn't expect that by mistake, he would get the right medicinal materials.

"The ice lotus fruit tree has extremely yin medicinal properties. According to the two words 'yin and yang' in the Yin and Yang He Yuan Dan, can it be understood that the remaining medicinal properties are extremely yang?"

Zhou Yiqiao read the yellow paper in his hand repeatedly and murmured to himself.

"Although according to any pharmacopoeia I have read, it is extremely dangerous to refine the Yin and Yang medicinal materials together, but you still have to try it."

Thinking of this, Zhou Yiqiao immediately came to the bronze alchemy furnace and took out the ice lotus fruit tree and a fiery red Ganoderma lucidum that he selected after careful consideration.

Because it was his first time trying it, Zhou Yiqiao was not sure, so the medicinal materials he chose were relatively mild.

Starting the furnace, raising the temperature, and liquefying it, he has repeated these steps thousands of times since he entered the alchemy process. There is no possibility of mistakes at this moment.

After all the spiritual plants were turned into spiritual liquid, Zhou Yiqiao slowly guided them into the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

"Buzz!"

As the spiritual liquid poured into the bottom of the cauldron, the entire alchemy furnace suddenly let out a soft roar, as if it had been stimulated by something.

Zhou Yiqiao narrowed his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze on the traces of the flow of spiritual liquid in the alchemy furnace.

In his sight, the spiritual liquid that was originally flowing smoothly changed suddenly, spinning rapidly as if attracted by some external force.

With the rapid surge of spiritual liquid, muffled sounds came from the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

"Condensing Pill!"

Zhou Yiqiao waved his right arm and controlled the spiritual liquid inside the alchemy furnace to form the prototype of the alchemy embryo.

Under the control of his powerful spiritual consciousness, all the spiritual liquid is constantly gathering into the prototype of the Dan embryo.

The whirlpool of spiritual liquid gradually weakened, and was about to completely transform into a solid state, but suddenly disappeared into nothingness.

And this is clearly not over yet.

"call!"

As the whirlpool of spiritual fluid inside the alchemy furnace disappeared, a strong heat wave suddenly erupted inside the alchemy furnace, burning the entire bronze alchemy furnace red instantly.

Zhou Yiqiao's expression was stern, and he tried his best to control the spiritual liquid in the cauldron with his right hand, and quickly retreated backwards.

"boom!"

A dull crackling sound suddenly came from the furnace, followed by a burning smell that filled the entire room.

"Failed?"

Zhou Yiqiao, who was standing far away, frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.

After a while, the thick smoke in the room cleared, revealing the true appearance of the bronze alchemy furnace.

At this moment, the bronze alchemy furnace has become pitch black, and the spiritual liquid that was originally full of medicinal fragrance has condensed into a piece of medicinal residue.

Zhou Yiqiao had been prepared for this situation for a long time, so he was not surprised.

Without a trace of fluctuation in his expression, he pinched the secret of the Cowardly Dust Technique. After cleaning the bronze cauldron, he took out a spiritual plant with stronger medicinal properties.

Although the first experiment ended in failure, Zhou Yiqiao's nearly a century of experience in alchemy told him that this direction was not wrong.

After retrieving the spiritual plant, Zhou Yiqiao once again devoted himself to refining it.

It's just that this time he is much more cautious than before. Every time he refines the elixir, he will make careful calculations and carefully calculate various variables. He will not let down his guard until the refining is completed.

After failing again and again, and in this cycle for several days, Zhou Yiqiao stopped refining alchemy.

Shen Kuo didn't know when he appeared beside him. Seeing Zhou Yiqiao stop his movements, he couldn't help but stepped forward curiously and asked.

"What's wrong, little junior brother, have you found a way to solve it?"

After Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he discovered Shen Kuo's traces.

He bowed to the other party, making full use of the etiquette, and said with joy on his face.

"Senior Brother Shen is really sharp and makes you laugh."

"Haha, my junior brother has been staying in the alchemy room these days. In addition to recovering his spiritual power, he is also refining alchemy. Master and I both see his diligence."

Shen Kuo patted Zhou Yiqiao on the shoulder, looking like a young adult.

"Junior brother, senior brother, I have something I don't know whether to say or not..."

As he spoke, Shen Kuo looked serious, and his eyes were staring at his, as if he wanted to understand Zhou Yiqiao's thoughts.

"Senior brother, if you have anything you want to ask, it doesn't hurt to ask."

Shen Kuo sighed and hesitated slightly.

"Although the Yongzhou monks all call Master the Bone Old Demon, only a few of our close disciples know that Master has always been a person with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges."

"But ever since you came to Ten Thousand Bones Mountain, little junior brother, Master has always seemed to have something on his mind."

"So, senior brother, I am a little curious. Junior brother, have you offended Master in any way before?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao was stunned for a moment and confused.

Elder Bai Gu, a powerful man with a cultivation level that reaches the heavens, has always taken care of everything, so how could he hold a grudge against an ordinary monk like him?

And Zhou Yiqiao didn't think he could leave any impression on the other party.

He pursed his lips and thought hard for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest clue.

"Senior Brother Shen, Junior Brother, I come from Yanzhou. The strongest person I have been able to come into contact with in the past is only Nascent Soul cultivation level. It is impossible for me to interact with Elder Baigu."

When Shen Kuo heard this, his dark eyes rolled around and he cunningly ended the topic.

"Since junior brother has said so, I must be worried in vain, senior brother."

"Junior brother, there is not much time left for the trial. Senior brother, I won't disturb you here. If there is anything else, we can discuss it later."

The main reason why he wanted to talk to Zhou Yiqiao was to tell him about his master's thoughts, so that Zhou Yiqiao could help him get rid of his status as a junior disciple.

Now that Zhou Yiqiao was on guard, he left the room to avoid his master discovering the clues and suffering physical pain.

After Shen Kuo left, Zhou Yiqiao focused his attention on the bronze alchemy furnace in front of him again.

After this period of hard work, he has gradually figured out the secret. Although he has not yet succeeded, it also proves that he has not taken any detours.

After thousands of experiments, Zhou Yiqiao finally identified the last medicinal materials as two spiritual plants.
