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

The Heart Forging Valley is located in a hidden valley in the north of Tianxuan Sect. It is surrounded by ice and frost all year round and is isolated from the world.

The spiritual energy here is rich, and because of the special terrain, the spiritual energy is extremely pure, which is of great help to cultivation.

When Zhou Yiqiao arrived at the Heart-Forging Valley, everything he needed had already been prepared for him.

An exquisite courtyard built in a place with the richest spiritual energy, filled with all kinds of natural treasures and elixir bottles, a set of powerful and exquisite simple sword formations, and a book recording the customs and official information of Daxuantian.

These are all what Zhou Yiqiao needs.

The items that Lin Muzhi prepared for Zhou Yiqiao were much more generous than what he had promised at the beginning.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is our sect's Heart Forging Valley. From now on, you will practice here, and no one will come to disturb you unless it is necessary."

Lin Muzhi personally arranged everything for Zhou Yiqiao, and then stood outside the courtyard and spoke to him solemnly.

"Thank you for your concern, Saint Lin. I am very grateful."

Zhou Yiqiao bowed and saluted.

He was in a very good mood, and even addressed people in a much more polite manner.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there is no need to be so polite. Just by being able to discover that the Shadow Alliance had stolen the spiritual vein formation of our Tianxuan Sect, you have already helped the Tianxuan Sect eliminate a huge trouble."

"Besides, you promised to help our Tianxuan Sect investigate that matter. The value of this is far beyond what these materials can measure."

Lin Muzhi dodged Zhou Yiqiao's salute and said with a warm smile.

"I will not bother you any further. I hope that Brother Zhou's retreat will go smoothly and that he will make further progress on the path to immortality."

After Lin Muzhi finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zhou Yiqiao watched Lin Muzhi leave until the other person's figure disappeared from his sight. Then he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at this future place of cultivation.

The courtyard is surrounded by an ancient pine forest. Every pine tree looks ancient and weathered, as if it has witnessed the changes of countless years.

The spiritual energy in the courtyard is so rich that it almost condenses into liquid. With every breath, one can feel the spiritual energy flowing through the body, cleansing the body and soul.

Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Tianxuan Sect was indeed profound and could provide him with such an excellent environment for cultivation.

He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and began to prepare for his cultivation.

First, he took out the book that recorded the customs and official information of Daxuantian and began to read it carefully.

Although this information is not the key to directly improving his strength, it can help him better understand the Daxuantian Holy Land and make adequate preparations for future actions.

At the same time, Zhou Yiqiao did not forget his main goal of improving his strength.

After quickly reading through the classics of Daxuantian, he took out paper and pen from his storage bag as per his habit and started planning.

"Now, I still have some techniques to improve my space, which are the Hundred Nerve Training Technique, the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique, the Green Frost Technique, the Heavenly Gang Body Refining Technique, and the Ghost Fire Yuan Refining Technique."

"Among them, the last level of the Hundred Nerve Training requires the Void Refining Realm to break through, and my current cultivation level is still far from enough, so I can only put it aside for the time being."

Zhou Yiqiao was thinking and writing down on paper.

"Ever since Master taught me the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method, I have always left it aside."

"Now that we are in a dangerous place, we need a way to save our lives, so we should put it first."

“Although there is only one level left of the Qingshuang Jue, it is extremely difficult to practice and requires a lot of time and energy.”

"I am pressed for time now, so I can only practice it to its current limit, and then slowly polish it when I have free time in the future."

"Then the only things left are the Tian Gang Body Refining Technique and the Ghost Fire Yuan Refining Technique..."

Zhou Yiqiao pondered for a moment and continued writing.

"The Tiangang Body Refining Technique focuses on the physical body, which complements my swordsmanship. If the physical body can become stronger, the power of the swordsmanship will naturally increase as well."

"And the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue focuses on cultivating mana. It can not only directly increase combat power, but is also the foundation of all magic techniques."

He put down his pen, his eyes moved over the names of the techniques on the paper, and finally made a decision.

"First, practice the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique to enhance your means of protecting your life; then practice the Ghost Fire Refining Technique to increase your mana reserves; finally, practice the Heavenly Gang Refining Technique to strengthen your body and increase the power of your swordsmanship."

After making the decision, Zhou Yiqiao no longer hesitated and immediately began to practice in seclusion.

He first spent several months repeatedly refining the simple sword formation provided by Lin Muzhi.

After confirming that the sword formation was completely in tune with his own mind, Zhou Yiqiao placed it around the Heart Forging Valley and officially began to practice the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique.

As the Taoist Master Bai Gu's most powerful skill, the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique is a true life-saving secret technique.

The Dafa is divided into nine levels. Each level of advancement can allow the cultivator to gain a chance to resist a fatal attack when facing a life-and-death crisis.

After Zhou Yiqiao cultivated it to the first level, he had never encountered a situation where he had to use the number of times, so he remained stagnant there and made no further progress.

However, times now are different from the past. Pressured by many unknown dangers and challenges, he has put much more effort into practicing the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique.

He followed the instructions in the exercises and guided his own spiritual energy step by step, circulating it through his meridians, gradually forming a subtle cycle.

With each cycle, a portion of the spiritual energy will be converted into special magic power and stored deep within the body.

This kind of magic power is different from ordinary magic power. It is more refined and more powerful. Under the stimulation of the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method, this magic power can be transformed into a solid shield at the critical moment to resist fatal attacks.

The practice process was extremely difficult, and Zhou Yiqiao often felt pain in his meridians, as if countless small knives were cutting his body.

However, considering the effect that can be obtained after the cultivation, this little pain is not even an obstacle.

A few years passed in the blink of an eye.

When Zhou Yiqiao woke up from his training, he felt as if his body had experienced a rebirth.

Every muscle fascia in the body seemed to be emitting a faint golden glow.

Zhou Yiqiao moved a little and suddenly heard a series of crackling sounds.

"As expected of a technique created by our master with so much effort, it can even slightly improve physical strength!"

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes were bright and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He stood up slowly, feeling the power filling his body, his heart filled with confidence.

Now, he has successfully cultivated the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique to the second and third levels. Although it is still a long way from the peak of the ninth level, it is enough to give him three chances to resist fatal attacks when facing life-and-death crisis.
