Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 236: A Visitor from Shenbing Villa
Whoosh!
A point of golden light shot out in an instant, piercing through the endless sea of ​​clouds.

"to make!"

Li Rui's eyes were full of joy.

Gather energy into beads and unleash magical powers with a snap of your fingers!
This move cannot even be considered a martial art. At most, it is just a clever use of true energy.

Everything originated from the inspiration given by a master named Huang in the previous life.

The grade of Li Rui's immortal energy is already higher than the ordinary true energy, and now it is condensed into Yuan. With the grade rising again, just releasing the true energy into beads will have great power, and it will be concealed enough in battle, which will definitely make the opponent unable to defend against it.

Suddenly, an idea came to me.

"Finger snap technique, dragon holding a pearl"

A thought came to my mind.

The Yinglong in the Dantian revived.

Yinglong slowly opened his dragon mouth, and a round bead condensed by immortal energy appeared and was held in Yinglong's mouth.

Li Rui slightly bent his fingers and pinched them together.

A purple light suddenly appeared, with a hint of divine power.

Li Rui chanted softly: "Go!"

With the force exerted by the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, the purple light was ejected and turned into a golden stream of light.

Wherever the golden light passed, the sea of ​​clouds was torn into a chasm over a hundred feet wide.

Li Rui was shocked by the spectacular scene before him.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"very nice."

It has the power of a dragon, but is more concealed in comparison. So it makes killing people easier.

Just fight if you want to, there's no need to release a big dragon.

He only let it go once, but now those guys from An Ning Wei keep pulling him to see the big dragon every day.

Do you really think I'm a dragon trainer?
His last name is neither Qiao nor Xiao, so there is no need to use full special effects for a fight.

Now it’s good to display it as a dragon holding a pearl.

Li Rui's mind moved.

Start the nightly settlement screen.

"come together."

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures walked out from the cloud platform. They were Qi Ze, Gao Zhen and Liu Jiaoniang.

Li Rui's fingers flashed with golden light.

"Just use this trick."

early morning.

Li Rui pushed open the door contentedly, stretched himself, and looked at the faint light in the sky.

"Another day of slaughter."

Two moves, kill three people.

Gao Zhen and Qi Ze were strung together like a candied haws stick by his first-level finger-snapping magic.

The three of them were all sixth-rank masters, yet they were easily killed by him.

After condensing his Yuan, his strength increased dramatically, enough to kill the previous powerful enemy in seconds.

Li Rui knew it very well.

All the ingenious strategies are vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.

It is necessary to have some worldly sophistication, as it can reduce trouble and speed up the practice, but what is more important is one's own strength.

Li Rui never dared to slack off on this.

After practicing martial arts and having breakfast, he had nothing to do.

He strolled out of An Ning Guard early in the morning. Since he became the captain of the Ministry of Commerce, he no longer had to worry about the affairs of the guard, and he had the final say on the affairs of the Municipal Commerce Department.

Li Rui naturally assigned all the tasks to his subordinates.

Grasp the big and let go.

This is the art of leadership.

If you are always worried about being sidelined, feeling uneasy here and worried about something going to go wrong there, you will be exhausted sooner or later.

Li Rui has to practice martial arts, so he doesn't have so much time to deal with miscellaneous matters.

Of course, all the power is delegated to subordinates.

The Municipal Trade Bureau is almost entirely managed by Tan Hu, and the Tiandi Alliance is also managed by Huang Chui and Fei Lao San. At most, Liang He and Liu Tong are asked to supervise it.

Across half the city.

Soon the sound of blacksmithing was heard coming from the shop.

"Master, why are you here?"

Liu Tiezhu, who was shirtless and muscular, saw Li Rui appear, put down the hammer in his hand and went to meet him.

Li Rui looked at it:
"Where's Senior Tie?"

"Old Tie is smoking a pipe in there."

Li Rui nodded.

"it is good."

As he spoke, he and Liu Tiezhu opened the curtain and walked into the back room.

as predicted.

Then I saw Tie Kuang standing on tiptoe, squatting beside the stove, smoking a cigarette, with smoke everywhere.

Tie Kuang didn't raise his head, his eyes rolled up, wrinkles appeared on his forehead:
"Two whole mouthfuls?"

As he spoke, he took out a brass pipe from behind his waist.

"Then take two bites."

Li Rui took the pipe, knocked it on the shoe clasp, then skillfully stuffed it with tobacco and put it directly into the stove to light a fire. He squatted on tiptoe in almost the same way as Tie Kuang and started smoking.

Liu Tiezhu looked at the two old smokers and was speechless for a moment. At this moment, Li Rui and Tie Kuang looked very much like the miserable old men that could be seen everywhere at the intersection of Qinghe Street.

Tie Kuang looked at Li Rui with a sidelong glance, and a satisfied smile appeared on his old face like the bark of an ancient tree:

"Yes, there are not many young people like you anymore."

The corner of Liu Tiezhu's mouth twitched.

Li Rui was not angry at all.

In front of Tie Kuang, a man who is hundreds of years old, he, a man less than eighty years old, is just a young man to Tie Kuang.

After this period of getting along.

The more Tie Kuang looked at Li Rui, the more he liked him.

Not to mention anything else, those seventy-year-old young men in Shenbing Villa are not as likable as Li Rui. They are all like babies who have not grown up.

There is something to say.

A person’s growth is not determined by age but by experience.

If you have little experience, then even if you live for hundreds of years, you will still be the same.

That's just the case with the people in Shenbing Villa. Apart from practicing martial arts and forging iron, that's all they do. They're just like little kids.

Of course, this is just Tie Kuang's opinion.

In the eyes of others, the situation is quite different. It must be unfathomable and the means are extraordinary.

Tie Kuang whipped more and more vigorously.

It has been a long time since he met a young man with whom he could smoke pipe.

"Tell me what's going on."

Li Rui chuckled: "Can't you come and see me if you have nothing to do?"

Tie Kuang sneered: "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost."

Li Rui: "Senior, how is the Immortal Sword? I will go buy any materials you need."

"Being not."

Speaking of the immortal sword.

Tie Kuang's mood improved a lot.

Seeing this, Li Rui asked tentatively: "Senior, why do you insist on making immortal weapons?"

This was the question that had always been in his mind.

As I got to know more about immortal weapons, I found that they were incredibly difficult to make. There were already very few top three masters in the realm of earthly immortals in the world, but the number of immortal weapons was even less than that.

On the one hand, there are too few weaponsmiths capable of forging immortal weapons, and on the other hand, forging immortal weapons is really difficult.

Even if the weaponsmith is an iron madman.

Eighty percent of it is in vain and it ends up being a waste of money.

This is not a good deal no matter how you look at it.

It would be better to wait until your skills have improved before trying again.

Tie Kuang was in a good mood today. If it were in the past, he would definitely say "get lost" and rarely say more than "for killing people."

Li Rui was shocked:
"kill!"

Tie Kuang nodded: "Outsiders thought the previous owner of Shenbing Villa died of illness, but he was actually killed by the Blood Shadow Patriarch. This revenge must be avenged!"

talking.

He took a few more puffs of his pipe: "Old Ancestor Blood Shadow is a top third rank expert. I definitely cannot defeat him. But if I have an immortal weapon, then it might be possible. At worst, I can pass it on to future generations."

"I came to Qinghe, thinking of killing a few blood disciples to offer sacrifice to the gods, but I didn't see any."

When it comes to the Blood Shadow Ancestor, Tie Kuang becomes furious.

Li Rui's expression turned strange.

It’s not that it can’t be found.

All the twelve blood disciples who came to Qinghe died at his hands.

He didn't expect that the Divine Weapon Villa had such a feud with the Blood Shadow Ancestor of the Ghost Cult.

My heart moved slightly.

'I see. ’

No wonder Tie Kuang appeared in Qinghe.

I was wondering before, even if Tie Kuang wanted to purchase materials for forging immortal weapons through the mutual trade, it seemed unnecessary for him to come so early.

When Tie Kuang first came to Qinghe, there was no sign of trade yet. If he really wanted materials, the best time would be to wait until the market was completely stable.

Now I understand that he most likely intended to kill the Twelve Blood Disciples.

After all, the Twelve Blood Disciples had caused a stir in Qinghe before. As the elder of the Divine Weapon Villa, Tie Kuang must have heard the news and came to Qinghe in advance. Tie Kuang stopped talking and kept smoking.

For a moment the room was filled with smoke.

Two old men were smoking.

Liu Tiezhu standing by was not calm.

What is the Divine Weapon Villa, what is the Blood Shadow Ancestor, and what is the Immortal Weapon?
He knew them all individually, but when they were combined together, and heard from Tie Kuang's mouth, it felt wrong no matter how he looked at it.

"grass!"

"Old Tie, you are a master!"

Liu Tiezhu finally figured out why the blacksmithing method taught by Old Man Tie was better than what he had learned before, and why his master Li Rui respected Old Man Tie so much.

If I'm not mistaken, Old Man Tie is most likely a figure like the elder of Shenbing Villa.

Big shot!
The tobacco in the brass pot burned out.

Tie Kuang did not continue, he stood up and glanced at Liu Tiezhu: "You blockhead, if you had half the mind of your master, you wouldn't be so stupid. Stop staring and get back to work."

"Oh."

Liu Tiezhu followed obediently.

Knowing Tie Kuang's voice, he really didn't dare to call him Old Man Tie anymore.

Li Rui just found this scene funny.

To be honest, he still preferred his apprentice's previous rebellious appearance.

He didn't know how to forge weapons and couldn't help much.

So he just started practicing Tie Kuang's hammering technique in the blacksmith shop.

During this period of time, I have been practicing diligently every day and have felt more and more the power of the Hammer Qi Method. The speed at which my Qi is increasing is much faster than before. Otherwise, even with the elixir, it would not be possible to condense my Qi so quickly.

There is actually no need to practice hammering iron like Tie Kuang every day.

"Chu" means to temper, not literally to pound.

You can just incorporate the Hammer Qi method when practicing swordsmanship, and it can also enhance the murderous intent of the swordsmanship at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. The predecessor who created the Hammer Qi method is truly a god.

Although it is not a top-notch killing technique, it can be combined with other martial arts without conflict.

This alone is enough to be called excellent.

"practice!"

In the blink of an eye, the Tiandi Alliance had already gone on seven business trips.

At this time, the Tiandi Alliance could be described as extremely wealthy.

Under the puzzled gazes of Huang Chui and Fei Laosan, Li Rui gave most of the profits to "those people".

Even though there are doubts, Li Rui's prestige is now growing.

Even the two leaders of the alliance did not dare to question Li Rui's decision.

Of course Li Rui handed the money over to Jiang Linxian.

As for whether Jiang Linxian should stay or be sent to the capital.

That wasn't something he needed to consider.

It’s better not to ask too much about your boss’s affairs, as it does no good.

Although the business has been going on for several months, in Li Rui's opinion, it is not even the early stage. The Tiandi Alliance just needs to break even and make a small profit.

The key is to maintain a good relationship first.

Moreover, it is not necessarily a good thing for the Tiandi Alliance to become rich overnight.

Only by taking it step by step can the people of Tiandi Alliance have enough time to adapt to the feeling of being rich.

This process is very important.

In Li's room.

"The level required to open up the Qi Sea is indeed exaggerated."

Li Rui felt the changes in the true energy in his body and said with a sigh.

This period of time.

He practiced diligently every day, and made rapid progress by relying on the Qi-nourishing skills of Changchun Gong and Hammer Qi Method.

However, there is still a long way to go before one can cultivate Qi to the level of opening up the Qi Sea.

Li Rui is not in a hurry.

He is almost eighty years old and has no shortage of patience.

Because of Jiang Linxian, outsiders thought that he had practiced martial arts for decades, but in fact, he had only been in the martial arts world for a short ten years.

Ten years is just the beginning in the path of martial arts.

Countless people have practiced martial arts for ten years and still can't even reach the level of entering the martial arts realm.

In comparison, he should be content.

Li Rui was practicing martial arts in the Municipal Commerce Bureau's office.

Suddenly a person ran in.

At first glance, it was Lianghe.

He was breathing heavily, looking anxious.

"What happened?"

Liang He said intermittently: "Master, it's the people from the Divine Weapon Villa. They came to challenge the Heaven and Earth Alliance!"

"I am Yu Zhiqiu from Shenbing Villa and I am here to ask for your advice."

A bearded man, carrying a huge hammer on his back, stood at the entrance of the Tiandi Alliance with his hands folded.

He said he was asking for advice, but it looked like he was just trying to block the door.

In addition to Yu Zhiqiu, the sturdy man from Shenbing Villa, there were many people standing behind him. Some were disciples of Shenbing Villa, and some were people from other sects in the city who came to watch the fun.

Huang Chui and Fei Laosan looked at the arrogant Yu Zhiqiu and their faces became extremely ugly.

If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him.

He is a sixth-rank master, and the two of them are only seventh-rank.

There is a huge gap between them, so they are no match at all.

Liu Tong stood behind the two of them:
"Alliance leader, I have asked Liang He to report the news."

Hear the words.

Huang Chui and Fei Laosan's expressions looked a little better.

Only Li Rui and Ning Zhongtian are rivals to this man.

Yu Zhiqiu's face was full of joking: "How come, in such a huge Tiandi League, no one can take a blow from me?"

I sneered in my heart:

"What level are you? Are you qualified to compete with my Shenbing Villa for business?"

Paper wrapped fire.

Tie Kuang is the elder of Shenbing Villa. This matter was eventually discovered by Shi Zhou, who became extremely angry.

In Shi Zhou's opinion, it was basically equivalent to giving his money to the Tiandi Alliance.

How can I bear it?

You can’t afford to offend Tie Kuang, and you can’t offend An Ningwei either.

But he can't even touch a tiny Tiandi Alliance?

Shenbing Villa and Tiandi League are both martial arts sects, so Shi Zhou solved the problem using martial arts methods.

The method is straightforward.

Just send Yu Zhiqiu to challenge the Tiandi League and block its door to see how business is done.

The money of Shenbing Villa can only be earned by the people of Shenbing Villa!

No one else has the right to touch it.

If it weren't for the reminder from the people of Huaqing Sect, they might still be kept in the dark.

in the crowd.

A masked man from the Huaqing Sect sneered.

Jiang Haitao reported the matter to Jiang Ding. When Jiang Ding heard that it was a business supported by Jiang Linxian, he realized that it was actually Jiang Linxian who killed Jiang Baichuan.

But even though he understood it, he was determined to avenge his son's death!

This account can only be blamed on Li Rui and Ning Zhongtian, but it is not looking for trouble with the Tiandi Alliance.

If you can't come openly, then let someone else come.

Yu Zhiqiu opened his mouth wide:

"how?"

"nobody?"

"That's right. I don't care about the Tiandi Alliance, a bunch of scum that can't even stand up to the public. Kneel down and kowtow to me, and I can leave now."

Huang Chui and Fei Laosan's veins suddenly bulged.

They tried their best to suppress the anger in their hearts.

Shenbing Villa is a major sect in Yunzhou, the patriarch of the entire state.

Heaven and Earth Alliance?
He is not even the head of a prefecture and is not on the same level at all.

If they really fight, they will definitely be the ones who suffer.

The situation is better than people.

If kneeling down could really settle today's matter, Huang Chui would actually be happy to do so. However, he was not stupid and knew that if Yu Zhiqiu knelt down today, Shenbing Villa could still send Wang Zhiqiu and Zhang Zhiqiu.

Is it possible that he could kneel through the entire Shenbing Villa?
impossible things.

And Shenbing Villa will not agree to it.

Yu Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "You are quite patient?"

"If you don't want to fight, I'll force you to fight!"

talking.

The big hand suddenly reached out towards Huang Chui's chest, trying to take down the second leader of the Tiandi Alliance first and give Ning Zhongtian and Li Rui a warning.

At this critical moment.

A slight sound of breaking wind was heard.

Yu Zhiqiu felt pain in his hand.

Then I heard a voice behind me:
"That's it for now."
