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

With a crackling sound in his body, Zhou Yiqiao stretched his muscles and sat back on the futon.

Now that the method of eliminating erysipelas is on the right track, it is time to put the improvement of alchemy skills on the agenda.

Because it involves the success or failure of one's own elixir formation, the quality of the Chaoyuan elixir must be the best. It cannot be like the Yixian elixir that only pursues success and ignores the importance of quality.

This is a crucial matter, and Zhou Yiqiao must take it seriously and not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Therefore, techniques like the Fire Control Technique that can improve the quality of alchemy are also worthy of Zhou Yiqiao's time to familiarize himself with and understand before forming the elixir.

Now that he had made up his mind, Zhou Yiqiao collected his thoughts and opened the book with three characters: "Fire Control Technique".

He stroked the ancient classics gently, focused his mind, and a series of obscure and complicated pictures emerged in his mind.

That is the training method of Fire Control Technique, and what needs to be paid attention to.

Zhou Yiqiao silently recited the "Fire Control Technique". As the technique manifested in his mind, pictures came into his eyes one after another.

Time passed quietly, and soon, night fell.

Zhou Yiqiao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of excitement flashing through his eyes.

"It's so mysterious? This fire control technique is indeed infinitely mysterious."

According to the description in the classics, the first two layers of the technique are used to cultivate the outer fire and improve the quality of alchemy, while the last three layers focus on the inner true fire to condense spiritual power.

Zhou Yiqiao browsed through it repeatedly, knowing that the contents of the Fire Control Technique were memorized, so he stopped.

He closed his eyes again, immersed himself in the fire control technique, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate, gathering at the center of his eyebrows according to a special path.

In an instant, Zhou Yiqiao's body emitted light blue flames, and a gloomy and cold atmosphere enveloped the entire practice room.

Zhou Yiqiao formed a seal with his hands, controlling the spiritual power in his body to move around in his body according to the instructions of the technique, and finally merged into the center of his eyebrows.

As Zhou Yiqiao's hand seals continued to change, light blue flames formed a vortex above his head.

A faint fire dragon slowly appeared in the center of the vortex, lifelike, as if it had intelligence.

"boom."

After a muffled sound, the fire dragon penetrated into Zhou Yiqiao's eyebrows and disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Yiqiao slowly opened his eyes, with some surprise in his tone.

“It’s so easy to get started.”

After saying that, he tried to mobilize his spiritual power to direct the power towards the center of his eyebrows again, but this time the fire dragon did not appear as he imagined.

"Unlike the hundred-forged jade strength that goes from difficult to simple, this fire control technique goes from simple to difficult..."

he muttered.

Now that he had made some progress, Zhou Yiqiao became more relaxed. He took a deep breath, fell into a meditative state again, and began to carefully ponder and study the fire control technique.

......

Time flies by, and three years go by in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, Zhou Yiqiao stayed in the courtyard and concentrated on practicing. Now three years later, he finally achieved some success.

Early that morning, the man sat cross-legged and stared at the faint flame dancing in his palm.

This person is none other than Zhou Yiqiao!

"After three years of thinking, I have finally achieved some success in the Fire Control Technique!"

His tone was cheerful and his joy was palpable.

In the past three years, he has been studying the fire control technique sleeplessly, forgetting to eat and sleep, and now he has finally achieved results.

Zhou Yiqiao had a slight smile on his lips, flicked his right hand, and a cluster of sparks instantly floated out.

He made a seal with his right hand and tapped lightly with his fingertips. The sparks immediately surrounded his body and burned quietly.

The temperature of Mars is so high that you can feel the burning sensation even through your clothes.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes were bright and energetic, with a faint blush on his cheeks.

He took out the Five Elements Gathering Furnace, used the spark to light the alchemy furnace, and began to refine the Qiongling Pill.

Warming the furnace, melting the liquid, mixing, and condensing the elixir... a series of smooth operations, and after a quarter of an hour, the Qiongling elixir was completed.

Zhou Yiqiao took out one and placed it in the palm of his hand, observing it carefully.

Qiong Ling Dan is milky white, crystal clear, and exudes a strong medicinal fragrance.

After just a slight sniff, Zhou Yiqiao felt refreshed.

"The elixir is a first-grade one. The efficacy of this Qiongling elixir is much better than the purple elixir I refined three years ago. It is indeed a method that can improve the quality of elixirs!"

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes flashed with surprise.

Although he had already expected it and knew the mysterious effect of the Fire Control Technique, he still did not think about the alchemy quality that had been difficult to break through in the past. He only improved on the Fire Control Technique after practicing it for three years.

He opened his mouth and took the Qiong Ling Dan in his hand, and immediately a stream of pure spiritual power slid down his throat and into his abdomen, and his limbs were filled with warm breath.

Zhou Yiqiao took a long, comfortable breath and sighed.

"The quality is excellent, and the erysipelas is much less. If I keep taking elixirs of this quality, with my current second-level entry-level Hundred-forged Broken Jade Strength, I will be able to prevent even a trace of erysipelas from remaining in my body."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden stream of light flashed across his pupils.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly waved his right arm out, and the wind of his fist was fierce, vaguely carrying the force of wind and thunder. The strong wind blew Zhou Yiqiao's black hair around, and his long gown made a sound.

His fist hit the air hard, and a cracking sound suddenly came out, and a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye rippled out from where the fist was, sweeping out.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several explosions exploded in the house, and the wooden door of the practice room turned into debris and flew everywhere, alarming the four spiritual beasts practicing in the yard.

"Haha, what a joy! The Hundred-forged Jade Strength combined with the Fire Control Technique, at least until I reach the peak of the Golden Elixir, I don't need to worry about the erysipelas problem anymore!"

He stood up and slowly walked out of the training room. The four alerted spiritual beasts immediately rushed towards him.

Four neighing sounds sounded one after another. Zhou Yiqiao touched the heads of the four spiritual pets and said softly.

"Did anyone visit me during my retreat?"

After hearing the words, Qijian turned into a human form, knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Yiqiao, and replied respectfully.

"Master, during the three years of your retreat, Elder Mao and several monks from the Phoenix Pavilion came here once each, but they all left on their own after receiving no reply."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know which colleagues are here?"

"The other party saw that the master was retreating and left in a hurry without leaving his name."

Qijian shook his head and answered truthfully.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, very satisfied with the answer, and then spoke.

"Very good. I have worked hard for you in the past three years. In the days to come, you just need to stay in this courtyard and concentrate on your practice. Don't meet anyone except me."

"As ordered!"

Qijian took the lead in answering.

"Okay, let's go down."

He waved his hand and returned to the practice room.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, silently recited the fire control formula, and fell into trance again.
