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

Unlike the first batch of disciples, this young man did not notice Zhou Yiqiao's gaze, but stood beside the gorgeously dressed woman with a flattering look on his face, looking around.

Bi Yao did not tell Zhou Yiqiao too much about these two groups of core disciples, she just mentioned it.

So when facing these monks, Zhou Yiqiao was not sure for a moment.

"If we meet this person in Qianmu Realm, it might be a bit tricky."

"I hope this person didn't wait for the elders' order to cause trouble for me in Qianmu Realm, otherwise it would be a real trouble."

Zhou Yiqiao's mind was filled with thoughts, but on the surface he appeared extremely calm.

He collected his thoughts, retracted his gaze, and glanced outside the square.

At this moment, under the flashing lights of various colors, groups of monks from Qinjian Villa came from all directions, landed on the square, and gathered together with the people who had arrived here long ago.

About half an incense stick of time had passed, and the originally empty square was now densely populated with monks from the Qinjian Villa. The scene was quite spectacular.

Following a clear and pleasant bell sound, a luxurious carriage slowly approached from the sky and stopped in front of the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, a white-haired old man walked out of the luxurious carriage.

The white-haired old man was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns, holding a whisk in his hand, with a peaceful expression.

Beside him stood a dozen monks.

Among them were both men and women, and none of them looked more than 25 years old.

"Greetings to Elder Qingfeng!"

Suddenly there were shouts of respect in the square.

Zhou Yiqiao looked up and saw that the noble old man was none other than the second elder of Qinjian Villa, Elder Qingfeng, whom he had met when he first met Qing Lietian!

Elder Qingfeng's status in Qinjian Villa is similar to that of his master, Elder Baigu, in the Netherworld Demon Sect, and is even slightly more respected.

Elder Qingfeng smiled and nodded, then looked around and asked.

"Since everyone is here, I won't waste any more words."

Elder Qingfeng said this and nodded to the young men and women dressed as Taoist children behind him.

The young men and women understood what he meant. One of them took out a pure gold scroll from his storage bag, and everyone worked together to unfold it.

A huge pattern appeared on the scroll, covering most of the square.

The scroll is carefully drawn and lifelike, as if it were a living creature.

Zhou Yiqiao concentrated on observing for a long time, and in a short while, he had imprinted all the contents on the map in his mind.

"This map is a map of the Thousand Wood Realm that your predecessors discovered after many wood-cutting meetings. Thousands of tree people tribes, big and small, are marked on it. You must memorize it by heart."

Elder Qingfeng pointed at the scroll and spoke slowly.

"During this trip to the Thousand Wood Realm, your main mission is to protect your own safety. In addition, you must collect spiritual wood suitable for casting guqin."

"Remember, life comes first, and spiritual wood is secondary."

Elder Qingfeng's voice echoed in the square, and every word was full of weight.

"Some of you may have heard that although Qianmu Realm is only one-tenth the size of my Tianchen Realm, it has also given birth to a corresponding immortal cultivation system."

"The Thousand Trees Meeting held once every hundred years in our sect also happens to be the annual hunting festival held by the tree people in the Thousand Trees Realm."

"During this period, they will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony, sacrificing the lives of you, the 'outsider demons', to their tree god of faith, and thus gain the tree god's blessing."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the square.

Many disciples looked horrified; they had not expected that their journey would be so dangerous.

Zhou Yiqiao was also slightly moved, but after all, he had experienced many storms, so he quickly regained his composure.

Elder Qingfeng looked at the expressions on the disciples' faces but did not say anything to comfort them.

Although Qinjian Villa is a righteous sect, the jungle law of the survival of the fittest in the world of immortal cultivation also applies to the villa.

Qinjian Villa prides itself on being a righteous sect, so naturally it won't be like the Netherworld Demon Sect, which unscrupulously uses methods such as disciples killing each other to select elites.

However, Qinjian Villa will not hinder this kind of behavior of risking one's life in the name of protecting the ancient zither's spiritual wood. Instead, it will be happy to see it happen.

After all, the more people die, the more those elite monks with special abilities will be valued.

“No wonder this wood-cutting meeting seems lively and the number of disciples participating is large enough, but there are not many disciples with noble status like Bi Yao.”

Zhou Yiqiao looked around at the disciples in the square again and pondered in his heart.

I'm afraid that more than half of these disciples will become prey of the tree man tribe and will never come back.

Elder Qingfeng looked at the reactions of the people below, smiled lightly, then waved his hand lightly, and the huge map turned into a golden light and flew into the old man's sleeves.

“There will still be no restrictions on logging this time.”

"Killing a Jindan tree man earns one sect point, killing a Yuanying tree man earns ten sect points, and so on."

"In addition, there are many spiritual plants in Qianmu Realm that do not grow in Tianchen Realm. If you can collect them, you will also get corresponding points."

"You can form a team, but everyone in the team must come to me to receive the contract crystal."

As he spoke, a waiter behind Elder Qingfeng took out a light blue crystal and showed it to everyone.

"This contract crystal will automatically record all members of your team and every point the team has earned in the Qianmu Realm."

"After you return safely, the Villa will divide the points in the contract crystal equally among each of you based on the number of survivors in the team."

"If a monk unfortunately dies, his points will be automatically divided equally among the other monks in the team."

Elder Qingfeng said calmly.

As soon as these words were spoken, many disciples' eyes lit up.

This kind of points competition is obviously more reliable than gaining points by hunting tree monsters alone.

After all, the strength of one person is always limited. If everyone works together, not only can the chance of survival be increased, but they may also be able to hunt down the Thousand Wood Realm Tree People who have higher cultivation than themselves!

"Alright, I've explained the rules. I'll give you half an hour to form a team. After you've discussed it, come to me to get the contract crystal."

After Elder Qingfeng finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the carriage.

On the square, all the disciples quickly dispersed, looking for their partners to enter the Qianmu Realm.

Zhou Yiqiao did not move. He found a secluded place, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

It’s not that Zhou Yiqiao doesn’t want to form a team, but with his status as a hostage, any disciple of Qinjian Villa who has a little common sense will not rush to cause trouble for him.
