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

Lin Muzhi didn't expect Zhou Yiqiao to be so decisive. He showed anxiety on his face and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there may be a chance for this to turn around. Why are you so impulsive? My Tianxuan Sect will protect you."

This is not because Lin Muzhi is hypocritical, but after all, Zhou Yiqiao was involved in this turmoil because of the affairs of Tianxuan Sect. If Tianxuan Sect abandons him, it would be a violation of morality.

What's more, by protecting Zhou Yiqiao, Lin Muzhi could also gain considerable benefits from Qing Jimeng.

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head and said firmly.

"Friend Lin, I appreciate your kindness."

"But this matter is of great importance. Once my whereabouts are revealed, it will be a disaster for me with my current strength."

"What's more, if I leave Tianxuan Sect, I will be able to work for the young lady more conveniently."

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has made his decision, I will not say any more."

Lin Muzhi sighed, took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"This is a detailed map of the North, as well as the distribution of major forces."

"I hope that after you leave, Brother Zhou will have something to rely on and be able to successfully deal with various challenges."

Zhou Yiqiao took the jade slip, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and said solemnly.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Lin Muzhi waved his hands, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Friend Zhou, although we have only known each other for a short time, I deeply admire your character and talent."

"If the matter of Qinjian Villa was not complicated, I would definitely invite you to become an honorary disciple of my Tianxuan Sect."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Friend Lin, I believe our fate will not end here."

"The road to immortality is long. When we have hope of immortality one day, we can drink together again."

Lin Muzhi laughed loudly towards the sky, with a fanatical look in his eyes.

"Brother Zhou, I look forward to that day."

"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I, Lin Muzhi, will take care of the Wang family of Tieque Mountain for you. You can leave without any worries!"

"Thank you very much, Brother Lin. Goodbye!"

The two smiled at each other, then bowed and said goodbye.

"Take care, Brother Zhou!"

Looking at Zhou Yiqiao's receding back, Lin Muzhi muttered something to himself, then turned around and fled towards the bustling Tianxuan Sect's mountain gate.

......

Zhou Yiqiao had no idea how Lin Muzhi had settled the matter with the Wang family of Tieque Mountain for him, nor did he know that Lin Muzhi had finally taken the responsibility on himself. He just followed the map given by Lin Muzhi and fled to one of the markets where independent cultivators lived.

After stopping and walking along the way, it took three months and flew tens of thousands of miles before finally arriving at the destination of this trip - the Northern Border Sanxiu Market.

This place is located in the southeast corner of the Northern Territory, adjacent to the demon clan Zoroastrianism, and is a place where exchanges between the two realms are relatively frequent.

The reason why Zhou Yiqiao chose this place was because of the location of this market town.

It was the turn of spring and summer, with magical herbs growing everywhere and magical birds flying around, creating a peaceful and tranquil scene.

Not long ago, there was a period of heavy rain that lasted for several months, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of earth.

The moment Zhou Yiqiao stepped into the market of casual cultivators, he felt a surge of vitality and vigor coming towards him.

Zoroastrianism is a continent rich in spiritual herbs. Every month, a large amount of spiritual herbs are sent from Zoroastrianism to the hinterland of Central Continent through here for the use of cultivation by various major forces.

This market for independent cultivators in the northern border is the first distribution center for these spiritual herbs entering Central Continent.

Zhou Yiqiao deliberately suppressed his cultivation and walked on the bustling street with his sharp eyes constantly scanning the stalls on both sides.

With the help of the Wanxiang Baolu, he could easily distinguish which spiritual herbs were of high quality and which were just for show.

Of course, he didn't dare to be too ostentatious as he hadn't yet established a firm foothold in this market. He just picked some spiritual herbs that were not planted in the Moonstone Space and walked towards the mansion in the center of the market.

Soon, he arrived in front of a ten-story attic.

Zhou Yiqiao restrained his breath, walked slowly into the shop, and went straight to the second floor.

There is a counter here, and behind the counter sits a female cultivator with a plump figure, fair skin, and a charming look between her brows.

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao coming in, she immediately went to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you to my Fangshi office?"

The female cultivator's voice was gentle and pleasant, with a hint of professional enthusiasm, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and spoke.

"I am a first-time alchemist. I have just arrived here. I would like to rent a house in the market to sell elixirs. I wonder if there is a suitable house here?"

When the female cultivator heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Alchemists are a scarce resource in the world of cultivation, and are even more precious among independent cultivators.

She knew Zhou Yiqiao's value very well and responded enthusiastically immediately.

"Oh? You are an alchemist? That's great. Our market is in need of an alchemist like you to help us."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. We have mansions of various grades to choose from. Whether it's a quiet and elegant courtyard or a magnificent mansion, we have everything you need."

The female cultivator stood up and pointed to the diagrams of the mansion hanging on the wall, and gave a detailed introduction.

"These mansions are all in excellent geographical locations with convenient transportation. In addition, each mansion is equipped with an alchemy room and a medicine garden, which is convenient for you to make alchemy and grow spiritual herbs."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao nodded secretly in his heart.

This female cultivator was quite knowledgeable and immediately grasped his needs.

He carefully studied the schematic diagram on the wall and finally chose a mansion located in the center of the city with a quiet environment.

"Let's take this one. How much is the rent?"

Zhou Yiqiao pointed to a mansion on the schematic diagram and asked.

The female cultivator was even more delighted to see Zhou Yiqiao being so straightforward, and quickly replied.

"The rent for this mansion is 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones per month, and a deposit of 1 million mid-grade spirit stones is required."

"If you are willing to rent for ten years at once, we can give you a 10% discount."

Zhou Yiqiao thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, let's rent it for ten years."

He took out a storage ring and handed it to the female cultivator. It contained enough spirit stones as rent and deposit.

The female cultivator took the ring, scanned it with her spiritual sense, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Fellow Daoist, you are such a straightforward person. I will handle the formalities for you right away and have my servants arrange the relocation of your mansion for you."

As the female cultivator spoke, she turned and walked to the counter beside her and started to get busy.

Zhou Yiqiao stood aside, waiting quietly.

Soon, the formalities were completed and the female cultivator handed a token and a bunch of keys to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Here is your mansion token and key, please keep it safe."

"Also, here is the map of the market and some basic rules and regulations. Please take a look."

As the female cultivator spoke, she handed Zhou Yiqiao a thick file.

Zhou Yiqiao took the file, flipped through it briefly, and put it into his storage bag.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

He bowed, turned and walked out the door.

After leaving the office, Zhou Yiqiao followed the instructions on the map and found the mansion he rented.
