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

Several jailers left one after another, and Zhou Yiqiao and Gu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Quan emerged from the shadows and untied Gu Yun.

"Now we have done everything we can. It depends on whether Zhou Xiaoyou's friend outside the water prison can convey this news to the top of the Netherworld Demon Sect."

Zhou Yiqiao said with relief.

"Don't worry, you two. The other party is the sect master's spy, and he will definitely be able to convey the news here to the sect."

"That's good."

Gu Yun coughed twice, his brows filled with fatigue.

"Gu Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Quan saw something was wrong with Gu Yun and appeared at his side in an instant, supporting Gu Yun before he fell.

Gu Yun reluctantly waved his hand, but the pale color on his face became more and more obvious.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Zhou Yiqiao quickly stepped forward and grabbed the other person's wrist. A soft internal force flowed into Gu Yun's body along Zhou Yiqiao's palm and traveled around in his meridians.

After a moment, Zhou Yiqiao frowned and retracted his palm, a solemn look flashing in his eyes.

"How could the spiritual power in your body be so chaotic?"

"I'm fine. It's just that my spiritual power was disrupted by that old guy Li Wenshi before I was put into the water prison. Now that I'm free, I'll be fine after some time of cultivation."

Gu Yun wanted to withdraw his arm, but Zhou Yiqiao held him down.

"This is not a simple spiritual chaos."

Zhou Yiqiao said in a deep voice.

"This is a secret technique that Li Wenshi has imposed on your body. As long as you show signs of using spiritual power, this secret technique will be activated and cause irreversible damage to your meridians."

"If it goes on for a long time, even if you leave the water prison, you will become a complete useless person!"

When Gu Yun heard this, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

Zhang Quan saw that there was no trace of surprise on Gu Yun's face, so he expected that his best friend already knew about his physical condition, but he just didn't want them to worry.

"Gu Yun, why didn't you tell me?"

There was a hint of trembling in Zhang Quan's tone, and he obviously couldn't imagine why Gu Yun wanted to hide such a big thing from him.

"If I knew that you had such a secret skill in your body, I would never let you be responsible for distracting those jailers."

"So what if I tell you? Can you still help me remove this secret technique?"

Gu Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"This secret technique was obtained by Li Wenshi from a demon practitioner at great cost. Unless the demon practitioner is found, no one can understand it."

Zhou Yiqiao, as a relatively rational outsider, heard the hidden meaning from Gu Yun's mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, from what you said, the dispute between you and Li Wenshi is not as simple as Daoist Zhang, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Yun fell silent, and then slowly spoke after a moment.

"My grandfather is a well-known cultivator in the secret realm of Wanxiang, Yun Yinzi."

"Grandpa has never liked to associate with powerful people. He just concentrates on practicing. However, because of his extremely superb alchemy skills, some sect disciples will come to him from time to time and ask grandpa to refine some pills for them."

"Among them is Li Wenshi from Motuo Mountain."

"Grandpa is a kind-hearted person and responds to requests. Over time, he and Li Wenshi established a good friendship."

Speaking of this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on Gu Yun's face.

"Until one day, Li Wenshi suddenly came to the door and said that he wanted to ask grandpa to help him refine an extremely precious elixir."

"The material for that elixir is extremely rare. Li Wenshi even took out the spiritual grass he had collected for many years as a reward."

"That elixir was of extremely high quality. Grandpa was not completely sure and wanted to refuse, but Li Wenshi threatened my life. Grandpa had no choice but to agree."

"For my life, grandpa spent all his energy. However, after Li Wenshi took it, he suddenly bit back and slandered that there was something wrong with the elixir refined by grandpa, which caused great damage to his cultivation."

"He teamed up with several elders from Mount Motuo to imprison Grandpa in the formation on unfounded charges!"

When Gu Yun said this, a flash of deep hatred flashed in his eyes, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles turned white.

"It turns out that Li Wenshi heard somewhere that my Gu family is the ancestor of a family of medical immortals. The reason why he approached my grandfather was to open up the Gu family's long-hidden secret realm of inheritance through our bloodline!

"They imprisoned Grandpa just to force him to find out how to open the secret realm!"

"My grandfather would rather die than give in, and he was brutally tortured to death by them!"

"And I was also captured by them and kept as a key to open the secret realm in the future!"

At this point, Gu Yun was already crying, and Zhang Quan's face was also full of anger, and his clenched fists were trembling.

Zhou Yiqiao sighed softly, feeling sympathy for Gu Yun's experience, and at the same time he had a better understanding of Li Wenshi's greed.

Although he doesn't think he is a good person, he will not harm an innocent person just because of a hearsay.

"Brother Gu, what's inside your body is a mess now. Unless an alchemist with the level of your old man is present, I'm afraid no one can unlock this secret technique."

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head and looked at Gu Yun with a hint of apology in his eyes.

When Gu Yun heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Brother Zhou, there is no need to blame yourself. In fact, Gu has never thought about getting free."

"The reason why I agreed to you and Zhang Quan is because I know the strength of the Netherworld Demon Sect and I want to see Li Wenshi die under the powerful hands of the Netherworld Demon Sect."

He smiled freely, as if he had taken life and death lightly.

"Gu Yun, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Quan shouted angrily and looked at Gu Yun with red eyes.

"I will never let you die, you believe me!"

Zhang Quan grabbed Gu Yun's shoulders, his eyes shining with determination.

Gu Yun was much calmer than Zhang Quan and allowed Zhang Quan to vent his emotions for a moment before gently patting him on the shoulder.

"Zhang Quan, I know you have good intentions, but there are some things that our strength cannot change."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhou Yiqiao, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"Brother Zhou, I know that you are very strong. If you can agree to my request, I will be grateful."

"Please say."

Zhou Yiqiao did not refuse immediately, but extended his hand to signal.

"Brother Zhou is backed by the Netherworld Demon Sect, and the road ahead will be much wider than that of Zhang Quan and I."

"If Brother Zhou is strong enough in the future, please ask Brother Zhou to take action to destroy the entire Li family and avenge me and my grandfather!"
