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

Zhao Zhen saw Zhou Yiqiao's serious face and laughed out loud. It took him a long time to calm down.

He waved and asked Zhao Lexin, who had been standing aside, to come forward, caress the child's head, look at Zhou Yiqiao and said.

"Young Zhou Zhou, there is no need to be so serious. How could Zhao make such excessive demands on you?"

"All my hopes now lie in my grandnephew Zhao Lexin."

"The life in my body is almost exhausted. If I don't open my eyes tomorrow morning, then today will be my last day to protect this child."

"I hope that my little friend can take care of this child after I pass away."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao looked ridiculous and turned around to leave.

"Why are you joking, fellow Taoist? I'm just a middle-stage Qi-refining monk obsessed with alchemy. I can't even protect myself. How can I take care of others?"

Zhao Zhen saw Zhou Yiqiao's actions and knew that he was being too vague, so he quickly explained.

"Don't worry, little friend, listen to me."

"My grandnephew is the same as me. He only has a physique with four spiritual roots. He was able to practice Taoism for half a year and then started refining qi. However, the earth spiritual roots in his body account for a relatively large proportion. In addition, he has been polishing his body since childhood."

"His qualifications are old and clear, and he has practiced hard. At the age of eighteen, he could only enter the outer sect."

"I just hope that my little friend can take care of him after he enters the outer gate, so that he can avoid being bullied. As for the path of cultivation, it depends on his own destiny."

Zhao Zhen had finished speaking. Zhou Yiqiao turned around after hearing what he wanted to hear. He looked hesitant for a long time before gritting his teeth and speaking.

"If I just take care of him when he enters the outer door in the future, Zhou will agree."

"Fellow Taoist, can you please give me Taoist Yaoyang's alchemy notes for the next review?"

Zhao Zhen laughed heartily when he saw that Zhou Yiqiao was loose. He ordered Zhao Lexin to take care of Zhou Yiqiao and then go into the back room to get this thing.

In less than half a cup of tea, Zhao Zhen left and returned with two withered yellow books in his hand.

He handed one of the thin volumes to Zhou Yiqiao and introduced it.

"This is the method of refining medicine created by my father. My friend and I are quite destined. Even if the transaction fails, I can give this book to my friend."

Zhou Yiqiao took over a book that had already withered and yellowed. The book was overflowing with medicinal fragrance, and the five words "Yao Yang's Alchemy Method" were written on the cover.

Opening the book, Zhou Yiqiao quickly browsed through the contents.

The book records in detail an alchemist's entire technique from warming the medicinal cauldron to condensing the elixir.

For Zhou Yiqiao, who is still using basic alchemy techniques, it is indeed a treasure.

Looking at the remaining book called Annotations on Techniques in Zhao Zhen's hand, Zhou Yiqiao no longer hesitated, and solemnly made the oath of heaven.

"I will lean on the bridge next week, and I would like to swear here that when Zhao Lexin is in the outer sect of Yaori Sect, I will never let him make any mistakes in the sect. If he violates this oath, he will be backlashed by the inner demons and will never be reincarnated! "

Zhao Zhen naturally heard the flattery in Zhou Yiqiao's oath, and instead of being unhappy, he was even more happy.

He handed the remaining book of technique notes to Zhou Yiqiao and watched him leave.

It wasn't until Zhou Yiqiao disappeared from sight that Zhao Lexin, who had been ordered not to speak by Zhao Zhen, asked.

"Uncle, my grandnephew is really puzzled. My great-grandfather, Taoist Yao Yang, has been obsessed with alchemy all his life. Many second-level alchemists want to get his alchemy manual. Why do you have to give it to this person?"

Zhao Zhen patted Zhao Lexin's head lightly and said with a smile.

"Le Xin, your uncle has lived for more than a hundred years. What kind of person has he never seen?"

"You haven't reached the middle stage of Qi refining yet, and you haven't come into contact with Shengyuan Dan, so naturally you don't know."

"The elixir refined by Yiqiao this week is 50% more effective than those prepared by alchemists of the same level."

"Although he rarely achieves elixirs, with this method alone, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will definitely be able to go further than his peers."

"It's quite a coincidence that he just made the Heavenly Dao Oath, but it's just like this that I can be sure that you can get his help when you enter the outer gate in the future."

"Uncle Karma has already connected it for you. You should work hard to maintain it in the future. If this person becomes enlightened in the future, you can also have a friendship."

Zhao Lexin was a child after all, and she agreed to Zhao Zhen's words in a daze.

On the other side, Zhou Yiqiao returned to the cave, quickly opened the restriction, took out his alchemy record, and compared it with the annotations on Yaoyang's alchemy method.

No wonder he was so eager, it was because he had been troubled by not having high-level alchemy techniques ever since he came into contact with alchemy.

Zhou Yiqiao patiently compared and verified the questions recorded in the book one by one.

He didn't come back to his senses until the moon and stars became sparse.

This Yaoyang Taoist is worthy of being someone who gave up the pursuit of immortality because he was obsessed with refining elixirs.

His mastery of alchemy made Zhou Yiqiao suddenly enlightened, and he was extremely admired.

Now that the doubts have been answered one by one, he once again focuses on Yao Yang's alchemy method.

When an alchemist changes his alchemy technique, it is like rebuilding a new method. Unless he is a talented person, he often has to start from the most basic steps.

Zhou Yiqiao plans to start practicing with Shengyuan Dan, which he is already familiar with.

He returned to the stone bed to recuperate his energy. After a few hours, he took out the beast's tooth cauldron and officially started practicing.

……

Spring passes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye, another half year passes.

Inside the cave, Zhou Yiqiao's whole body shimmered with golden light, and he controlled his spiritual energy for another round, slowly ending his power.

After another failed attack on the bottleneck, Zhou Yiqiao's brows furrowed into a knot.

These days, he has mastered the Yao Yang Alchemy Method at his fingertips. It originally took half a day to refine the Qing Yuan Dan, but now it only takes two hours.

With the support of a large amount of elixirs, Zhou Yiqiao's realm was improving by leaps and bounds, and he reached the sixth level of Qi refining three months ago.

It's just that this bottleneck in the late stage of Qi refining has been tried many times over the past few months, but nothing has loosened up.

"Three spiritual roots are only three spiritual roots after all. Regardless of the genius of the heavenly spiritual roots, a monk with two spiritual roots will not have any bottlenecks before building the foundation."

"Although I have made rapid progress in cultivation with the help of the power of elixirs, and I am not far behind the dual spiritual root monks, my qualifications are still unsurpassable."

Thinking of this, Zhou Yiqiao, who had failed in the late stage of Qi refining for several months, was also a little short of breath.

There are only two ways to solve this problem.

One is to continue to polish and impact repeatedly as we do today, until the bottleneck is weak and then advance to the later stage in one go.

But the attempts since March have made no progress, and the time spent walking all the way has no end in sight.

As for the second type, it is to obtain techniques to compress spiritual power, or to eliminate bottlenecks with boundary-breaking elixirs to help one overcome this obstacle.

While thinking, a boy's voice came from outside the cave.

"Senior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Zhao Lexin, in the name of my uncle Zhao Zhen, invite you to come and have a talk. My uncle is inconvenient to move around now, so he sent me here. Please show up."
