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

"What!?"

Zhou Yiqiao looked at Chen Fan in surprise. He didn't expect Chen Fan to say such a thing.

He originally thought that Chen Fan was only invited to participate in this secret exploration, but he didn't expect that Chen Fan was not only well prepared, but was also the key figure who secretly promoted this action.

For a moment, Zhou Yiqiao was filled with many complicated emotions.

He originally thought that he was the only person to whom the owner of the secret realm had told the secret, or at least he was in a special position among everyone, but now it seems that Chen Fan's plan was much earlier than his!

Chen Fan looked at Zhou Yiqiao's surprised expression, thinking that Zhou Yiqiao was just shocked that he knew the secret of the secret realm in advance, so he smiled slightly and continued.

"Brother Zhou, I know this surprises you, but I did discover this secret place a long time ago."

"The reason I didn't tell you is because there are some complicated things involved."

Zhou Yiqiao calmed down his surprise and simply followed Chen Fan's idea and asked.

"Brother Chen, since I have already followed you into the secret realm, there is no reason to refuse."

"But, Brother Chen, can you tell me in detail what is so special about this secret realm, and what exactly you want me to help you with?"

Chen Fan took a deep breath, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and then spoke slowly.

"Brother Zhou, the inheritance in this secret realm is a special cultivation system that involves the lost power of ancient times."

He paused and continued.

"According to the clues I have, this inheritance is called 'Heavenly Revelation Inheritance'."

"This inheritance not only includes a cultivation method created by the owner of the secret realm, but also left behind a mysterious treasure called the 'Dragon and Phoenix Fists'. For most body cultivators, this is a temptation that is hard to refuse."

"And this time, Chen came here just for the Dragon and Phoenix Fists."

Having said this, Chen Fan said a little shyly.

"Among these trials, there is a part called 'Inner Demon Illusion'. It requires multiple cultivators to enter together and face their own inner fears and desires. At the same time, they have to help each other to break the illusion."

"Chen's spiritual practice is not as profound as his physical training. He may not be able to face the inner demon illusion alone, so he wants to rely on the number of people to increase the probability of passing the trial."

Zhou Yiqiao listened attentively and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It’s not that the inheritance prepared by this senior is not attractive, but the content of the inheritance has absolutely nothing to do with Zhou Yiqiao’s cultivation system.

Even if Chen Fan did not exist, his acquisition of the inheritance of revelation would not be of much help in improving his strength.

But on second thought, Zhou Yiqiao felt that this might be a rare opportunity.

Although the Xuantian treasure was of no great use to Zhou Yiqiao, the cultivation method created by the senior might provide him with some new perspectives and inspiration for his future practice.

After all, the path of cultivation is long and broad, and knowing more about different systems may help you to draw inferences from one instance to another and benefit your own cultivation.

"Brother Chen, since you are here for the Dragon and Phoenix Fists, I wonder if you can lend me the martial arts created by that senior?"

Zhou Yiqiao changed the subject, his tone containing both a hint of request and a bit of sincerity.

"I am a fellow practitioner of the Three Daos. No matter what cultivation system this senior created, I can learn something from it."

"It just so happens that I have made some achievements in spiritual cultivation. If Brother Chen agrees to my request, I will definitely go all out to help Brother Chen overcome his inner demon illusion and get the dragon and phoenix fists together."

Chen Fan looked at Zhou Yiqiao, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He knew that Zhou Yiqiao was a visionary man, and his spiritual practice was indeed extraordinary. If he could get his help, the chances of overcoming the inner demon illusion would be greatly increased.

"There is no reason for me not to agree to Brother Zhou's request."

Chen Fan said with a smile.

"Since you and I have become allies, it is only natural for us to help each other."

"Although the technique is precious, it is of no use to me. If Brother Zhou needs it, you can copy it for me."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao was also happy.

"I will always remember Brother Chen's generosity."

Zhou Yiqiao said seriously.

"Don't worry, I will not let Brother Chen down."

The two of them made a gentleman's agreement and returned to the Fantasy Sound Altar, waiting for others to come and redeem the last two rewards, thus ending the first level of the trial.

After waiting for about half an hour, I finally saw a group of people coming together in the fog.

Some of the people in this group showed joy on their faces, as if they had reaped a lot; others looked a little frustrated, perhaps because they did not get the expected treasures in the Fantasy Sound Valley, or encountered setbacks in the challenge.

Only after they arrived at the altar did they finally see the identities of Zhou Yiqiao and the other man.

They were first surprised that Zhou Yiqiao was able to find this place in advance, and then their eyes naturally turned to Chen Fan, their mouths full of compliments.

Obviously, these people had a preconceived idea that Zhou Yiqiao was able to find the Fantasy Sound Altar first thanks to Chen Fan's guidance or some unknown means.

Zhou Yiqiao was naturally happy to accept these people's attitude.

After all, the more these people think so, the less likely it is that he will be suspected of killing Zhao Kuo.

"Okay everyone, since you have come here together, you must have collected enough Phantom Sound Stones."

"There are only two spiritual objects left on this altar. It is up to you to decide how to distribute them."

Chen Fan interrupted at the right time, his tone calm but with an authority that could not be ignored, drawing everyone's attention back to the main business.

These people did not dare to go against Chen Fan's wishes and retreated to the side. It was unknown what kind of deal was made. In the end, the monk in the blue robe and Li Ronger each took nine phantom sound stones and walked to the center of the altar, ready to exchange them for the rewards they deserved.

The reward redemption process went extremely smoothly. When Li Ronger took out the last spiritual object from the Fantasy Sound Altar, the black fog surrounding the group quickly dissipated, and the group was teleported directly to the entrance of the Fantasy Sound Valley.

Li Ronger looked around and counted the number of people. Her expression suddenly changed, as if she had discovered something wrong.

"Daoyou Zhao Kuo is not here. Where did he go?"

Li Ronger's slightly anxious voice reached everyone's ears, making everyone's smiles freeze on their faces.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart tightened, but his face did not reveal any expression. Instead, he looked around in confusion, as if he had just realized this problem.

He knew clearly that only by getting away with it could he completely get rid of the suspicion and continue to explore this secret place with Chen Fan and others.
