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

When Zhou Yiqiao walked out of the door of the quenching table, he was greeted by Chen Fan's concerned gaze.

Seeing that he returned safely, Chen Fan showed a relieved smile on his face. He walked quickly forward and patted Zhou Yiqiao on the shoulder.

"Brother Zhou, you finally came out."

There was some excitement in Chen Fan's voice.

"You spent thirty-eight years in the quenching station the first time. Chen is really worried about your safety."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude for Chen Fan's concern.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry to bother you."

"I gained a lot from the quenching table. Although I didn't make a huge leap forward, my body and cultivation have improved significantly. I am very satisfied."

As the saint son of the Beihuang Holy Sect, a body-building sect, Chen Fan was extremely talented in body-building practice. Naturally, he saw through the changes in Zhou Yiqiao's physical strength at a glance.

"Brother Zhou, your physical strength...is incredible compared to before you entered the quenching table."

"It seems that these decades of hard training have indeed benefited you a lot."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, and admitted it generously without any intention of hiding anything in front of Chen Fan, the Holy Sect's son with countless means.

"Indeed, the Quenching Platform is indeed the treasure land that the Tianchen Realm body forging monks dream of. It has given Zhou a lot of help."

At this point, he recalled how embarrassed he was when he entered the seventh level of the quenching table, and chuckled, mocking himself.

"Of course, Zhou suffered a lot."

Chen Fan smiled. Of course he knew what kind of suffering Zhou Yiqiao was talking about.

The two exchanged pleasantries again, and then Chen Fan changed the subject and asked tentatively.

"Brother Zhou, seeing that you have returned safely this time, Chen wants to invite you to join us for something else. I wonder if you can agree."

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned.

"Brother Chen, please tell me. If there is anything I can do, it will be my duty."

Chen Fan took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Several of Chen's friends in Zhongzhou found a senior's secret realm, and I'm interested in participating."

"I see that Brother Zhou is in urgent need of training, do you have any idea of ​​working with Chen?"

Zhou Yiqiao did not agree immediately after hearing this.

He still remembers how he risked his life many times when he helped Chen Fan collect the Blood Moon Elf Grass. He was still frightened of the secret realm that Chen Fan, with his strength, wanted to explore.

Although the secret realm explored by Chen Fan and other geniuses is bound to be rich in resources, it is also fraught with dangers. If one is not careful, one may be doomed.

His cultivation level is still one major realm lower than Chen Fan's. If there is danger, he will probably find it difficult to protect himself.

When Chen Fan saw Zhou Yiqiao looking embarrassed, he knew what he was thinking and advised him softly.

"Brother Zhou, the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind."

"This secret realm is extraordinary. It is a place left behind by a senior master in Central Continent. It contains many opportunities, and there is even a chance to obtain the senior's inheritance."

Chen Fan paused and continued.

"My friends in Zhongzhou are all very powerful people. They have cooperated with me many times and we work very well together. With them around, I can rest assured that I am safe."

"Moreover, according to the preliminary exploration of my friends, this trip to the secret realm should have an ancient treasure pill that increases the chance of breaking through the Void Refining Realm. For Brother Zhou now, it is the most precious treasure."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao was still hesitant.

Ancient elixirs that increase the chance of breakthrough are of course good, but you also have to be alive to use them.

If he lost his life in the secret realm, even if this pill could allow him to ascend to heaven at any time, it would still be a loss.

Seeing that Zhou Yiqiao was still hesitating, Chen Fan struck while the iron was hot.

"Brother Zhou, you and I have known each other for many years, and I believe I have never harmed you."

"I also have selfish motives for this trip to the secret realm. I hope you can lend me a helping hand."

"Of course, we will distribute the benefits fairly and will never let you suffer any loss."

Zhou Yiqiao looked at Chen Fan's sincere eyes, struggled for a moment, thinking about the favor he owed Chen Fan, and finally sighed and nodded in agreement.

"Brother Chen, since you've said that, it would be too hypocritical for me to refuse. All right, I'll go with you to this secret place."

When Chen Fan saw Zhou Yiqiao agreed, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes and he smiled.

"Brother Zhou is really straightforward! Don't worry, you will definitely gain something from this trip."

After the two of them reached an agreement, Chen Fan began to introduce the situation of the secret realm to Zhou Yiqiao in detail, as well as the preparations they needed to make.

Although Zhou Yiqiao agreed, he was still cautious in his heart. He listened carefully to Chen Fan's introduction and raised his own questions from time to time.

Following Chen Fan's explanation, Zhou Yiqiao gained a deeper understanding of the secret realm that was about to be explored, and his worries gradually eased.

In the following days, Zhou Yiqiao began to prepare for the journey to the secret realm.

He organized his storage ring, refined a batch of pills, and completely refined the ancient copper lamp that he obtained from the Earth-Splitting Dragon Cave and could heal injuries. Only then did he feel a little relieved.

It is worth mentioning that in order to appease the emotions of the spirit in the bronze lamp, Zhou Yiqiao named this ancient bronze lamp Yuqing Lingyan, which was considered to be giving it a formal "status".

Everything was ready. Zhou Yiqiao and Chen Fan agreed to meet in front of the Beihuang Holy Sect's teleportation array, preparing to quickly travel to the heart of Zhongzhou through the Beihuang Holy Sect's teleportation array.

On the day of departure, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

Zhou Yiqiao was wearing a green shirt, and except for an extra storage bag on his waist, the shirt was empty and had no valuables.

Chen Fan was still wearing white clothes, and was even more lightly dressed than Zhou Yiqiao.

If an uninformed cultivator were to encounter this, it would be hard to imagine that these two people were going to explore the secret realm of their predecessors where they had risked their lives.

Chen Fan took out an exquisite jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"This is the locator of Zhongzhou. The teleportation array of our Northern Wasteland Saint Sect is different from ordinary arrays. Only with this locator can we successfully land in the heart of Zhongzhou."

Zhou Yiqiao took the jade talisman and felt the spatial power contained in it. Knowing it was a precious item, he followed suit and carefully put it into his sleeve.

The two said no more and stepped onto the teleportation array together.

As the formation was activated, the surrounding spiritual energy began to rotate, forming whirlpools of light that slowly engulfed their figures.

After a dizzying moment, Zhou Yiqiao finally understood what the difference was between the teleportation formations that Chen Fan mentioned!

The formation of the Northern Wilderness Holy Sect was not connected to any formation in Zhongzhou. Instead, it relied on a special secret method to forcibly split a space channel during each transmission, reaching the heart of Zhongzhou.

The operation of this secret technique is a great test of the user's physical strength.

If the user's physical training is not strong enough, or if his body is weak and his Qi and blood are insufficient, it is very easy for his body to burst because he cannot withstand the pressure of space...
