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

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and began to decompose the body of the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

Although the Earth-Splitting Dragon was dead, its corpse, which was at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and half a step away from becoming an Evil Spirit, was still extremely hard, especially the scales covering its body. Each scale still shone with a metallic luster as it did when it was alive and was indestructible.

Zhou Yiqiao held the Netherworld Demon Sword in his hand and mobilized his spiritual power to carefully carry out the cutting work.

These scales were extremely hard, and even with a magical weapon like the Netherworld Demon Sword, which was close to being an ancient treasure, it still took Zhou Yiqiao a lot of effort.

About two hours later, Zhou Yiqiao collected all the intact scales on the Earth-Splitting Dragon and put them into a wooden box engraved with forbidden runes.

Although these scales would not lose their activity quickly, Zhou Yiqiao still did not dare to be careless, so he decided to go to the trouble of storing them well.

Next, Zhou Yiqiao began to process the bones of the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

Since the hardest scales have been dealt with, dealing with the bones will be much easier.

Zhou Yiqiao used the Netherworld Demon Sword to carefully cut along the gaps in the Earth-Splitting Dragon's bones. In just an incense stick of time, he had removed all the complete bones.

Although the bones of the Earth-Splitting Dragon are not as hard as its scales, they are equally as hard. To many monks who are good at using bone magic tools, they are even more precious than its scales.

Of course, for Zhou Yiqiao, the quality of the magic weapon is more important than its type. Therefore, now that he has scales, he is not very interested in the bones of the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

However, although these bones are not as good as scales, they are also excellent materials for refining weapons. If they are given to Liu Yun in the future and he auctions them at Xianyuan Pavilion, he can also earn a lot of spirit stones.

After collecting the bones, Zhou Yiqiao took a short rest and then began to process the inner elixir of the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

The inner elixir is the essence condensed from years of cultivation by monsters. For cultivators, it is of great benefit whether it is used to refine elixirs or directly absorbed.

After cutting open its abdomen with the Netherworld Demon Sword, Zhou Yiqiao leaned most of his body into it, looking for the exact location of the inner elixir.

The Earth-Splitting Dragon had many organs inside its body, and its flesh and blood were blurred. Zhou Yiqiao even needed to release his spiritual sense to sense the place where spiritual energy gathered before he found the huge inner elixir hidden in its body.

The inner elixir is wrapped in a thin film, it rotates slowly and emits a faint light.

Zhou Yiqiao knew that it could not be taken out forcibly, otherwise once the membrane was destroyed, the power of the inner elixir would quickly dissipate.

He carefully pierced the membrane with the tip of the sword, then circulated his spiritual power to form a small spiritual power vortex, slowly absorbing the inner elixir.

With the attraction of spiritual power, the inner elixir gradually left the body of the Earth-Splitting Dragon and was held steadily in Zhou Yiqiao's palm.

He could feel the powerful spiritual power contained in the inner elixir. If he could refine it, it would definitely benefit his cultivation.

However, now is not the time to refine the inner elixir, so Zhou Yiqiao put the inner elixir into a special jade box. The inside of the jade box is filled with formations, which can effectively prevent the spiritual power of the inner elixir from leaking out.

At this point, Zhou Yiqiao had collected all the precious materials from the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

After a quick tidying up and making sure nothing was missed, he returned to the Earth-Splitting Dragon's lair.

Most of the spiritual objects in the nest are various colorful and gorgeous-looking precious minerals and spiritual stones.

Some of the minerals mutated for unknown reasons, but it was not beyond Zhou Yiqiao's expectations.

He took out an empty storage ring and began to collect the treasures and spirit stones into it one by one.

Although these resources are not of much value to him personally, bringing them back to Wangu Mountain would be a good choice, whether for rewarding Qijian and others or as resource reserves.

As the treasures in the nest were cleared out one by one, Zhou Yiqiao's attention gradually focused on the depths of the nest.

The light there was dim, but with his spiritual sense, he could still clearly sense the fluctuations of spiritual power contained therein.

He walked slowly into the depths of the lair and found some treasures hidden deep in the cave by the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

Most of these treasures were deliberately buried, and they were obviously treasures that the Earth-Splitting Dragon valued very much during his lifetime.

A hint of joy flashed in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes. He made some hand gestures and dug out all the spiritual objects from the soil one by one.

Among these "collections" treasured by the Earth-Splitting Dragons, most of the magic weapons and instruments were already damaged. Zhou Yiqiao only selected a few magic weapons whose structures were still worth studying and put them into his storage bag. The rest were all thrown aside.

Among the remaining spiritual objects, Zhou Yiqiao discovered two extremely precious treasures from heaven and earth.

The first item was a crystal clear jade slip that emitted a faint blue light. Mysterious runes flowed on the surface of the jade slip, making it appear mysterious.

Zhou Yiqiao carefully picked up the jade slip and probed his spiritual sense into it. In an instant, a spiritual power wave as vast as the ocean surged out of the jade slip, almost causing his spiritual sense to go out of control.

He was startled and quickly withdrew his spiritual sense, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This jade slip actually contains the cultivation experience of a senior master, and it is the cultivation method that I will need to break through the realm of refining emptiness!"

Zhou Yiqiao was excited, the value of this jade slip was far beyond his imagination.

He carefully put the jade slip into his storage ring, and secretly decided in his heart that after returning to the Northern Wilderness Holy Sect, he must study the scriptures of the predecessors in the jade slip in seclusion.

The second treasure is an ancient copper lamp. It has a simple style, strange patterns carved on the surface, and emits a faint warm yellow light.

Although the copper lamp looked ordinary, Zhou Yiqiao could feel the powerful breath of life contained in it, as if what he was holding in his hand was not an instrument but a living creature.

He gently touched the copper lamp, and a warm and powerful life force surged into his body, instantly healing his injuries a little.

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked. This bronze lamp turned out to be a rare life-related magic weapon!

Life-related magical weapons are extremely rare. They can nourish the practitioner's body and soul, prolong life, and even save lives at critical moments.

For a cultivator like Zhou Yiqiao who is always on the lookout for dangers, the value of this bronze lamp is even greater than the jade slip just now!

Zhou Yiqiao solemnly put the bronze lamp into his storage ring, feeling extremely satisfied with this Earth-Splitting Dragon hunting trip.

These two rare treasures are of great help both to his own cultivation and to the difficulties he will face in the future.

At this point, the Earth-Splitting Dragon's nest had been completely ransacked by Zhou Yiqiao.

He did not stay for too long. After collecting all the treasures he had looted, he checked the entire nest over and over again.

After making sure that nothing was missing, Zhou Yiqiao used magic to destroy the place and set out on his journey back to the Beihuang Holy Sect.
