Chapter 1185 Blood Evil Awakens

Zhang Yunhe and Li Canghai smiled at each other. They were very satisfied with Zhou Yiqiao's attitude.

The two elders were both smart people and could naturally see Zhou Yiqiao's potential and future, so they wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

Zhang Yunhe was the first to take out a jade box from his sleeve. There was a faint glow flowing on the jade box, which was obviously not an ordinary object.

He handed the jade box to Zhou Yiqiao and spoke gently.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the gift I prepared for you to celebrate your promotion. It's just a small token of my appreciation, not a token of respect."

Zhou Yiqiao was slightly stunned.

He wanted to refuse, but seeing the sincerity in Zhang Yunhe's eyes, he did not speak directly. Instead, he took the jade box, opened it and saw a crystal jade talisman lying inside.

The jade talisman is engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a gentle yet powerful spiritual power.

"This is?"

Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but ask.

"This is the 'Qi Gathering Talisman', which can instantly restore your Qi sea for you at a critical moment. It is helpful for training or fighting."

Zhang Yunhe explained.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart moved, and he naturally understood the preciousness of this item at the first moment.

How dangerous is it for cultivators to fight? Often, a single breath can decide life or death.

This "Qi Gathering Talisman" is truly a life-saving treasure at the critical moment. If a top cultivator like Zhou Yiqiao masters it, it is possible to reverse the situation of the battle by borrowing its divine power.

Precisely because he knew how precious this treasure was, he bowed to Zhang Yunhe sincerely this time.

"Senior Zhang, I am ashamed to accept such a generous gift."

Seeing this, Li Canghai also took out a jade box from his storage bag and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Mr. Zhou, this is a little gift from me, please accept it."

Zhou Yiqiao took the jade box, opened it and saw that inside was the 'Jade Talisman for Avoiding Disaster' that Li Canghai had mentioned before.

He immediately closed the jade box and said sincerely.

"Senior Li, this calamity-avoiding jade talisman is too precious, I cannot accept it."

Li Canghai waved his hand and smiled.

"Master Zhou, I know that I am old, and I have long lived in the villa without leaving the house. I am afraid that I will never encounter any real life-threatening disaster in this life. It would be a waste for me to have this jade talisman to avoid disaster."

"But Master Zhou, you have already reached the Void Refining Realm at such a young age. You will definitely travel around in the future to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Tianchen Realm. Having it with you will also provide you with an extra layer of protection."

Zhou Yiqiao still wanted to refuse, but Zhang Yunhe persuaded him.

"Mr. Zhou, what Brother Li said makes sense."

"This calamity-avoiding jade talisman really doesn't have much effect in his hands, but in your hands, it can become a protective amulet."

"Just accept it. This is also our token of appreciation."

Seeing that the two elders were so insistent, Zhou Yiqiao knew that it would be unkind to refuse again, so he accepted the two treasures and said gratefully.

"The kindness of the two seniors will be remembered in my heart."

"If you need me in the future, just let me know."

When Zhang Yunhe and Li Canghai saw Zhou Yiqiao accept the gift, they both smiled with satisfaction.

Both of them did ask Zhou Yiqiao for something, but they also knew the principle of gradual progress, so neither of them was impatient to make any requests.

Zhang Yunhe reminded.

"Mr. Zhou, you have just experienced the blessing of heaven and earth, and your cultivation has greatly improved. You should go back and consolidate your cultivation first, and we can talk about other things later."

Li Canghai also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Master Zhou, your cultivation has now reached a new level, and you need time to adapt and consolidate. Everything is fine in Qinjian Villa, you don't need to worry."

Zhou Yiqiao knew that the two elders were telling the truth, and he really needed time to adapt to the changes after his promotion.

So, he bowed to the two elders again to express his gratitude, then took his leave and returned to Bixiao Cave to go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, decades have passed, quietly passing by like running water.

Inside the Bixiao Cave, the spiritual energy is rich and the sky is filled with clouds and mist, making it seem like a fairyland isolated from the world.

In this quiet environment, Zhou Yiqiao devoted himself to cultivation, which not only consolidated his newly promoted cultivation, but also achieved a qualitative leap in his understanding of the path to immortality.

As his cultivation improved, Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual power became richer and richer, and his sea of ​​​​qi became vast and boundless, as if it could accommodate everything in the world.

The six magical weapons that accompanied him in receiving the blessings of heaven and earth also gradually showed their unique charm and power through the nurturing and refining over the years.

Especially Senior Xue Sha in the Blood-Drinking Millstone, with the blessing of heaven and earth, he recovered most of his injuries, and after Zhou Yiqiao's careful care over the years, he finally woke up from his deep sleep.

The first moment Senior Xuesha woke up, he was shocked by Zhou Yiqiao's cultivation speed.

"Little guy, your progress is simply astonishing!"

“My former master was also a natural talent, but he also went through countless years and hardships to cultivate to the state of spiritual transformation.”

"And you, who were able to achieve breakthroughs in such a short period of time, even surpassed my old friend. You can be considered a rare existence in the Tianchen Realm."

Senior Xuesha's voice echoed in Zhou Yiqiao's sea of ​​consciousness, and his relief was mixed with a hint of barely perceptible sadness.

"It's a pity that I am not strong enough and can no longer be your help."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart, and he responded in a gentle voice.

"Senior Xuesha, you are too modest."

"If it weren't for you and the other magic weapons protecting me, how could my path of cultivation be so smooth and unobstructed?"

“Don’t worry, senior. Yiqiao will follow the example of Senior Xuexue back then and help Senior Xuesha upgrade his innate ancient treasure. You and several other magic weapons will take you to see the wider world of cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, Senior Xuesha was moved and his voice was a little excited.

"Good boy, I appreciate your kindness."

"If that day ever comes, I will do my best to help you embark on the supreme path to immortality."

Afterwards, Zhou Yiqiao turned the topic to other magic weapons, especially the six treasures that had undergone a transformation with the blessing of heaven and earth.

Only after he and Senior Xuesha agreed on the method of advancement for several magic weapons did he officially end his retreat and leave Bixiao Cave Heaven.

"I guess you are Senior Brother Zhou Yiqiao, right?"

Zhou Yiqiao had just left Bixiao Cave Heaven and had not yet had time to contact the Seven Swords when he heard someone beside him asking.

He turned his head and saw a young disciple wearing a green shirt, with a handsome face and looking 50% similar to Li Canghai, looking at him with admiration.

This person was holding a token tightly in his hand, and it was obvious that he had obtained the approval of the two elders, which allowed him to wait here.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and nodded.

"It's me. Which junior brother are you? Looking at your token, could it be that Elder Zhang and Elder Li have any instructions?"

The young disciple hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Brother Zhou, I am Li Muyun, the great-great-grandson of Elder Li. I am here on the orders of Elder Li to welcome you out of seclusion."
