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

The guqin made a soft sound again, as if confirming Zhou Yiqiao's guess.

Zhou Yiqiao's brows relaxed slightly, but he didn't look very happy.

He knew that the reason why the will of the ancient zither was willing to tell him the location of the treasures in the valley was simply because the two sides were now in a state of unity.

Zhou Yiqiao's cultivation and soul strength are now directly related to the true power of the guqin. This transaction, seemingly a gift from the guqin, is actually an opportunity for its promotion.

However, being able to obtain a piece of rare treasure for free is ultimately a good thing for Zhou Yiqiao.

At least he was sure that before he thought of a way to strip the guqin, the will within it had no reason to harm him.

"Okay, let's go get that treasure."

Zhou Yiqiao patted the still wriggling tentacles on his arm without any hesitation, turned around and walked towards the valley again.

Although the two disciples of Qinjian Villa were puzzled, seeing Zhou Yiqiao so calm, they put aside their worries and followed Zhou Yiqiao inside.

The three of them returned to the valley again, and guided by the sound of the guqin, they crossed the intricate paths and continued to move deeper into the valley.

The surrounding vegetation became more and more lush, and exotic flowers and plants bloomed. The air was filled with a faint fragrance. After walking for only half an incense stick of time, the three of them could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was at least 30% richer than before!

Suddenly, there was a sound of gurgling water coming from the front. After turning a corner, I saw a clear stream pouring down from the mountain, forming a small waterfall. Amid the mist, a faint light was faintly visible behind the waterfall.

"That's it."

Zhou Yiqiao dived into the waterfall in one leap, leaving the two disciples of Qinjian Villa behind him, and finally saw the treasures of heaven and earth that Guqin Yizhi had mentioned.

It was a stone embedded in the ground, emitting a faint fluorescence.

The stone itself is not much different from ordinary sand and gravel, but the waves constantly emanating from the stone and the rich liquid-like spiritual energy surrounding it make people know at a glance that it is extraordinary.

"What is the next?"

Zhou Yiqiao glanced at the tentacles wrapped around his left arm and asked.

"Buzz!"

The sound of the piano trembled slightly, and a melody about the information of the stone in front of him flowed through Zhou Yiqiao's heart. In an instant, more detailed information about the spiritual object in front of him appeared in his mind.

It turns out that this object is called the 'Sound Picking Stone', a magical object from heaven and earth that was born together with this guqin.

Since the day it was born, the Sound-Picking Stone has been absorbing the bewitching magic sound of the guqin, gradually purifying it and transforming it into pure spiritual power. Over time, it not only contains a huge reserve of spiritual power, but also the unique musicality of the guqin.

For cultivators who practice music or need to enhance their spiritual power, this sound-collecting stone is an extremely rare treasure.

"Zheng!"

The strings of the guqin were plucked, and a will was transmitted again.

"You want me to absorb this sound-collecting stone?"

Zhou Yiqiao found it funny.

"I am a cultivator of the human race. I am neither a demon beast nor a wild monster. How can I directly absorb such spiritual objects from heaven and earth?"

"Besides, even if this sound-collecting stone has the effect of purifying the devil's sound, it has been more or less contaminated by your aura over the years."

"You are so anxious for me to absorb it, I am afraid you want to completely occupy my body while I am refining it, so that you can use my body to restore your strength, right?"

Zhou Yiqiao snorted coldly and unceremoniously exposed Guqin Will's trick.

Seeing that its plan failed, the guqin's will began to wriggle its tentacles rapidly, as if it was determined to fight to the death with Zhou Yiqiao and forcibly occupy Zhou Yiqiao's consciousness.

"What? Only an incense stick of time has passed, and you have already forgotten the pain and want to taste my sword power again!?"

Zhou Yiqiao warned, but his work did not slow down at all.

He put his fingers together and gently twisted the sword formula. Spiritual energy surged around him, and a sharp sword intent instantly condensed and formed, surrounding him, as if ready to tear through the air at any time and deal a fatal blow to Guqin's will.

"Humph, if you really dare to act rashly, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword. Do you really think I don't have the means to perish together with you!?"

Zhou Yiqiao's tone was firm, and his eyes revealed unquestionable determination.

Guqin's tentacles paused in the air, as if weighing the threat posed by Zhou Yiqiao and the gains and losses of its own interests.

After a while, the tentacles that were ready to move gradually calmed down, and the sound of the piano became much softer.

"Om."

The guqin emitted a long and melodious sound again, but this time it was no longer a command or a threat, but carried a hint of compromise.

Zhou Yiqiao ignored Guqin's will to retreat, bent down to put away the sound-collecting stone, then turned his head away with a cold face and looked at his left hand.

"Are there any more rare treasures? I'll go get them together so that you don't have any plans to take advantage of me in the name of rare treasures in the future."

Guqin's tentacles swayed gently, as if hesitating, but finally trembled slightly, responding to Zhou Yiqiao's request.

Another melodious piano sound was heard, and this time, the melody contained more guiding information.

The three of them moved forward again, heading deeper into the valley.

As we went deeper, the surrounding scenery became more and more bizarre. Among the exotic flowers and plants there were actually some spiritual plants that were glowing with a faint light. The concentration of spiritual energy in the air reached an astonishing level, almost turning into liquid.

Zhou Yiqiao secretly marveled at this environment. Even the blessed land which was extremely helpful for cultivation could not compare with it.

Soon, they came to a culvert shrouded in rich spiritual energy.

The entrance of the culvert is lightly covered by a thin layer of spiritual mist, like a door to a fairyland, making it difficult to see the scene inside clearly.

"Follow me, be careful."

Zhou Yiqiao whispered a reminder to the two disciples of Qinjian Villa behind him, and then as the person with the highest cultivation level, he stepped into the culvert first.

As soon as you enter the cave, the view suddenly opens up. You can see that the walls are covered with crystal clear beads, which look like stars dotting the night sky, emitting a soft and dazzling light.

On the ground, there are all kinds of magical herbs growing. Some have leaves as green as emerald green, and some have flowers as gorgeous as rainbows. Each plant exudes a rich spiritual energy, as if it is the most exquisite masterpiece of nature.

“This…what a treasure land this is!”

A disciple couldn't help but exclaimed, but soon realized his mistake and quickly covered his mouth, his eyes full of disbelief.

Zhou Yiqiao was also shocked, but he quickly regained his composure and began searching the cave.

Guqin's tentacles tapped his arms gently, as if guiding him in a certain direction.

"there."

Zhou Yiqiao pointed in a direction, and the three of them carefully walked around the dense spiritual herbs and finally came to a spiritual plant that looked ordinary but was extremely conspicuous.
