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

Yinxian Market is an ordinary market located in a remote area.

Four young monks in different attire walked into the market town and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the market town.

The four of them had outstanding appearances, and although they deliberately concealed their cultivation, the spiritual pressure they exuded was still at the level of a Divine Transformation cultivator, making it difficult to ignore.

"The sect has a simple meeting place in this market. Every disciple who leaves the Sword Sect must report there first, and Li is no exception."

"Do you three want to follow me to the rendezvous point, or walk around in this market?"

Li Mubai turned his head and looked at Zhou Yiqiao and the other two beside him and asked.

"I was worried about the brothers and sisters who followed us out, and I wanted to contact my father to ask about their recent situation, so I went with you."

Qing Jimeng spoke first, glanced around, then looked at Li Mubai and said.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, please do as you please."

Li Mubai did not stop him and nodded in agreement immediately.

Zhou Yiqiao and Xu Hanchang were left. They looked at each other and then shook their heads in rejection.

"After leaving the Hidden Immortal Market, I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle down for a while. The two of us plan to make some supplies in the market so that we can cope with the high-intensity operations that will follow."

Xu Hanchang explained with a smile.

"It is our blessing that Daoyou Xu and Daoyou Zhou care so much about the team."

"Since the three of you have important things to do, how about we get married in four hours at the entrance of the market?"

The three of them had no objection and nodded in agreement, then parted ways and went their separate ways.

Zhou Yiqiao and Xu Hanchang went all the way to the downtown area. Because they needed to purchase different things, they said goodbye to each other and walked in different directions.

After parting with Xu Hanchang, Zhou Yiqiao immediately went to the place in the market where spiritual herbs and plants were sold to see if there was any chance to replenish the variety of spiritual herbs in his Moonstone Space.

Since obtaining the Moonstone Space, this has become Zhou Yiqiao's daily habit.

Zhou Yiqiao shuttled through the market town, his eyes as fast as lightning, scanning the various spiritual herbs and plants displayed on the rows of stalls.

His steps were brisk, but there was a hint of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes.

Although there are many kinds of spiritual herbs in the market, they are all common varieties. There are neither rare and precious spiritual medicines nor unknown spiritual plants that can make his eyes light up.

After a fruitless search, Zhou Yiqiao purchased some spiritual items needed for daily practice and prepared to return to reunite with Xu Hanchang.

However, just as he was about to leave the downtown area and prepare to leave the street, a golden key on an inconspicuous stall on the side of the road caught his attention.

This key has a peculiar shape, it is actually a lifelike toad, and the patterns carved on its surface are extremely delicate. You can tell at a glance that it is not an object made by an ordinary craftsman.

The reason why Zhou Yiqiao was attracted to this key was not because of its appearance, but because when he passed by the stall, he suddenly felt a slight vibration in his storage bag.

He was not unfamiliar with this kind of vibration. It was the Baiyi Lock that he had never cracked the secret of and had been gathering dust in his storage bag until now!

It should be noted that there are two ways to unlock the Baiyi lock. One is to use extremely profound attainments to crack the difficult problem left on the lock by the predecessors who forged the Baiyi lock. The second is to find a key that matches it.

Zhou Yiqiao has been trying to solve the mystery of the lock all these years, but due to his limited qualifications, he has not made any progress so far.

I thought this Baiyi lock would just be placed in my storage bag and gather dust, but I didn't expect that by chance today I would get the corresponding key.

He stopped and looked intentionally or unintentionally at the stall where the golden key was.

The owner of the stall was a middle-aged monk who looked quite ordinary. He noticed Zhou Yiqiao's gaze and began to introduce himself enthusiastically.

"My fellow Taoist, this golden toad key is a rare treasure. It can unlock some special restrictions and may help you make further progress on your cultivation path."

This person obviously didn't know the function of the Golden Toad Key. He just held it in his hand and talked nonsense to Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao did not respond immediately, but reached out and gently touched the golden toad key.

After getting the key, he could clearly feel that the Baiyi lock in the storage bag began to vibrate slightly again, and there seemed to be some kind of wonderful resonance between the two.

Zhou Yiqiao was delighted in his heart but remained calm on the surface.

He smiled faintly and said to the stall owner.

"My fellow Taoist, this golden toad key is quite interesting. How would you price it?"

When the stall owner saw this, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, then stretched out a finger and said.

"This key is of great value. I got it by chance. Since we are destined to have it, I will only charge you one hundred middle-grade spirit stones."

Zhou Yiqiao secretly thought that the man in front of him was greedy, but thinking of the secrets and opportunities that might be hidden in the Baiyi Lock, he did not bargain too much. Instead, he took out a hundred medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the stall owner.

The stall owner took the spirit stone and handed the golden toad key to Zhou Yiqiao with a smile on his face.

The moment he got the key, Zhou Yiqiao could feel a slightly warm temperature flowing from the key into the palm of his hand, and it seemed that he finally felt the Baiyi lock in Zhou Yiqiao's storage bag, causing a palpitation.

He couldn't wait to try to use the key to open the Baiyi lock, but as he was in the market town with many people around, he decided to find a secluded place before trying again.

So he said goodbye to the stall owner, quickly crossed several streets, and came to a relatively quiet alley.

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and took out the Baiyi lock and the golden toad key from the storage bag.

He slowly inserted the key into the keyhole. With a slight "click", the originally indestructible Baiyi lock slowly opened, revealing a tiny gap.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart trembled, his hands trembled slightly, and he gently opened the lock completely.

There was no gold, silver or treasure in the lock, only a yellowed old bamboo slip and a piece of mysterious jade that emitted a faint glow.

Zhou Yiqiao first picked up the bamboo slips, and saw that it recorded an ancient and complicated method of refining weapons, called "Changuang Treasure Refining Technique".

This method has no grade or rank. According to the description above, it is the general outline summarized by this predecessor to nourish magical instruments and enhance their power.

As for the piece of jade, it was a spiritual object for refining treasures specially left behind by the predecessors. It was called "Chanling Jade" and when used with the "Changuang Treasure Refining Technique", it could greatly enhance the power of the magic weapon after being nurtured.

"This is really a pillow for someone who is sleepy. I happen to have several magical instruments that need to be upgraded. This technique is completely tailor-made for me!"
