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

As Zhou Yiqiao continued to go deeper into the primeval forest, the surrounding trees became increasingly dense and the light became dimmer.

He had to circulate the spiritual power in his body and enhance his perception so that he could better deal with possible crises.

Finally, after a period of arduous journey, Zhou Yiqiao arrived at the territory of the Qingteng tribe.

He hid in a dense bush, carefully observing the situation ahead.

Not far ahead, I saw tall tree houses standing among the lush trees, forming a unique tribal scene.

In the center of the tribe, a huge green vine tree rises from the ground, with lush branches and leaves, exuding a powerful breath of life.

This is the core of the Qingteng Tribe and the source of their faith and strength.

Zhou Yiqiao held his breath and concentrated, quietly approaching the Qingteng Tribe according to the route he had planned long ago.

The tree people of the Qingteng tribe are powerful and want to defend their homeland. Zhou Yiqiao believes that a head-on confrontation is not a wise move.

However, the size of the Green Ivy Spirit Wood is so huge that it is impossible for Zhou Yiqiao to steal it without anyone noticing.

Therefore, he decided to take a risk and quietly enter the Qingteng tribe to find a way to control the Qingteng spirit wood and then take it away.

As night fell, Zhou Yiqiao repeatedly confirmed the feasibility of the skills taught by Bi Yao, and finally began his action.

He was like an agile cheetah, shuttling through the shadows of the forest. In just three or two breaths, he quietly approached the Qingteng Tribe.

The tree people in the tribe were holding a night ceremony. Their voices were low and solemn. Even though Zhou Yiqiao didn't know the language they were praying in, he could feel a deep awe from their pious attitude.

He carefully avoided the tree people and came to the bottom of the green vine spirit tree.

This sacred tree towers into the clouds, with lush branches and leaves, and each branch seems to contain endless vitality.

Zhou Yiqiao looked up and couldn't help but marvel at the magic of nature, which could evolve into a world completely dominated by trees.

Following the instructions of the technique taught by Bi Yao, he began to search for the spiritual power center of the green vine tree.

He stretched out his hands and gently touched the trunk of the spiritual tree, feeling the endless life force.

As his perception gradually deepened, he could clearly feel the meridian structure inside the spiritual wood, as if it were a huge life network.

He carefully searched along the meridians, and after spending a whole stick of incense, he finally found the spiritual power center - a spiritual core that was glowing with a faint green light.

Zhou Yiqiao was delighted and immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body to establish a connection with the spiritual core of the Qingteng spiritual tree.

This process is extremely difficult, and he must remain extremely focused and stable. Otherwise, any slight mistake may trigger the resistance of the spiritual tree.

As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Zhou Yiqiao's forehead.

However, he seemed unaware, and continued to maintain his current movements like an old monk in meditation.

After another stick of incense, Zhou Yiqiao finally established a connection with the spirit core of the green vine spirit tree.

He could clearly feel the vitality of the spiritual tree flowing under his control, as if he had become the master of this forest.

However, just as Zhou Yiqiao was about to try to control the green vine spirit wood, he suddenly felt a strong hostility.

He looked up suddenly and saw a burly tree man standing not far away, staring at him with sharp eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart tightened, knowing that his whereabouts had been exposed.

Thoughts were swirling in his mind as he quickly looked for a way to escape.

However, the tree man did not attack immediately. Instead, he walked over slowly and asked in a low and majestic voice.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into our territory?"

Zhou Yiqiao's heart sank. He knew that it would be useless to deny it at this point.

He took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and answered.

"I am a cultivator from the outside world. I have no ill intentions in coming here this time. I just heard that the green vine tree is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, and I yearn for it, so I came here to take a look."

Upon hearing this, the tree man frowned slightly, obviously knowing Zhou Yiqiao's true intention and not believing Zhou Yiqiao's explanation.

He said solemnly.

"The Green Ivy Spirit Tree is the guardian deity of our tribe. How can we allow you, the outsiders, to blaspheme it?"

"Leave immediately, or don't blame me for calling my people to execute you on the spot!"

Seeing that the other party was on the verge of exploding, Zhou Yiqiao was startled and knew that he had to take decisive action at this time.

He gritted his teeth and mobilized the spiritual power in his body, trying to forcibly control the green vine spirit tree.

However, his actions immediately triggered a strong reaction from the tree people.

The tree man roared angrily, and countless green vines suddenly emerged from the thick trunk, like flexible tentacles, and coiled towards Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked and quickly used the Diamond Shield to try to block the attacks of the green vines.

As soon as the Vajra Shield appeared, it suddenly enlarged with the blessing of Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual power, protecting Zhou Yiqiao completely.

The moment the green vine touched the Diamond Shield, it burst out with amazing power, trying to tear the Diamond Shield apart.

However, the Diamond Shield was like a solid wall of steel, blocking all of Qing Teng's attacks.

When the tree man saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

These green vines are one with him. When confronting the Vajra Shield, he can clearly feel through the green vines that the grade of the Vajra Shield is not very high. The reason why it can last so long is all thanks to the spiritual power of the man in front of him.

The tree man felt fearful and temporarily withdrew his attack, warning Zhou Yiqiao with a cold face.

"My people have sensed your presence. This is my last warning. If you insist on not changing your ways, you will stay here forever and become the nutrients of the Green Ivy Spirit Tree!"

Zhou Yiqiao felt a chill in his heart, knowing that what the other party said was true.

He glanced at the surrounding forest and felt a strong aura approaching rapidly.

He realized that he was surrounded by the Treeman tribe.

If we force a breakthrough at this moment, it will probably trigger a war immediately.

However, he was unwilling to give up the green vine spirit wood just like that.

"Since we can't come to an agreement, I can only apologize."

Zhou Yiqiao let out a long sigh, and then the spiritual pressure around him exploded. His entire aura increased by at least 50% in just three breaths.

The tree man only heard a series of crisp sounds of bones dislocated, and then saw Zhou Yiqiao's figure turned into an afterimage and rushed towards him.

He was startled and quickly mobilized the spiritual power in his body to try to resist Zhou Yiqiao's attack.

However, Zhou Yiqiao's speed was astonishingly fast. He broke through the tree man's defense almost instantly and punched his trunk.
