Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 238: Exiled Immortal

Zhuang Renhe narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Old Ancestor Xueying asked me to find someone who can make this stone light up, and he also emphasized that I can find a breakthrough from an official named Li Rui?"

"What is it for?"

"I just can't figure it out. I really can't figure it out."

A few days ago, Zhuang Renhe received a handwritten letter from the Ghost Cult's Blood Shadow Patriarch. The letter contained only one thing, which was to find someone who could make jade shine, and he pointed out that they could start with Li Rui.

Then invite that person to the Ghost Sect.

The word "please" is very scholarly.

Zhuang Renhe’s understanding of this is that when a person arrives at the Ghost Sect, he cannot be dead, which means he must be captured alive.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be many people in the world who would willingly join the Ghost Sect.

'So, could it be him?'

Why again?

I have no idea what to do. I just don't care about anything and invite the person first.

In the courtyard.

Li Rui's body was like a dragon, and with the flick of his fingers, the huge rock shattered.

After hard training, his martial arts skills improved steadily.

The Changchun Gong, the Hammer Qi Method and the Xianxuan Qi are almost the top combination for nourishing Qi, so the progress will naturally be rapid.

It is estimated that within a few years, the sea of ​​​​qi will be opened up.

It is expected to enter the sea-viewing realm.

This speed is even faster than Jiang Linxian, who is known as the number one genius in Yunzhou.

What is a genius?

This is the genius.

proud?

Not so much.

It won't be too late to be proud of it when it really comes true. Even if Li Rui is equipped with the best equipment, he still needs to live to see the day when it can come true.

Finished sword practice.

Li Rui then pushed the door open and walked out of the house, heading towards the outside of the guardhouse as usual.

On the way out of the camp.

I happened to see Feng Yu and his men walking into the military camp.

Li Rui originally intended to nod symbolically, but he saw Feng Yu actually take the initiative to step forward.

Just when Li Rui was wondering what Feng Yu wanted to talk to him about.

Feng Yu said:

"Captain Li, have you offended anyone recently?"

Li Rui was stunned and frowned slightly:

"Why does Lord Feng say so?"

Feng Yu was straightforward:

"These past few days, Zhuang Renhe's men wanted to pay me to investigate your whereabouts and news."

Li Rui was shocked.

"Zhuang Renhe?!"

Zhuang Renhe investigated him?

Li Rui's heart tightened.

Who is Zhuang Renhe?

That was the hidden hand of the Ghost Cult. It was definitely not a good thing if a member of the Ghost Cult investigated himself.

Li Rui didn't find it strange that Zhuang Renhe was investigating him.

As far as he knew, the people who were close to Shenbing Villa were not only Cao Wei, but also the magistrate Zhuang Renhe.

His business is bound to conflict with the business of Shenbing Villa.

It was also expected that Zhuang Renhe would investigate him.

Li Rui was thinking a lot, but his expression didn't change much. He looked at Feng Yu with a smile:

"General Feng, why did you tell me this?"

Logically speaking, he and Feng Yu belong to two different camps.

Although the two sides do not usually engage in large-scale fighting, small conflicts have never stopped, and the subordinates of both sides are secretly competing with each other everywhere.

Feng Yu had every reason to earn a share of Zhuang Renhe's compensation.

Feng Yu snorted coldly:
"Lord Li, you really look down on me, Feng."

"Who the hell is Zhuang Renhe? How dare he deal with my An Ning Guards?"

"Damn it!"

Li Rui was stern.

The atmosphere!
It is said that Feng Yu's reputation in Jiang Linxian's faction is not completely ruined, because he knows how to act in moderation and will not engage in infighting without any bottom line.

Zhuang Renhe is from the government, and he is from the An Ning Guard.

An Ning Wei can deal with itself, but Zhuang Ren and a government official want to get involved in An Ning Wei?
no way!

Feng Yu was the first one to disagree.

I believe that Cao Wei will definitely not agree.

"Brother Feng, I'll invite you to Haikouju for a drink someday."

When Feng Yu heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.

"No, we must go to Zuixianlou!"

The majestic Daming City, three thousand palace maids, endless red walls, towering palaces, and glazed tiles reflecting the sun.

A corner of the magnificent imperial city.

In a small courtyard.

A pretty figure sat alone on a stone bench, with her chin supported by her right hand and her brows slightly furrowed.

"Ugh."

"Everyone says that the Imperial City is great, but few people know that it is just a huge prison."

Yao Xue looked at the majestic palace not far away and couldn't feel happy. Others thought that Daming City was good, but only those who lived here knew how depressing it was.

Ever since I followed Taoist Zhang into the capital.

Because of her junior master-uncle, she had seen too many of the royal family's schemes.

I'm already exhausted.

"It's better to return to nature."

At this moment, a young man's voice sounded outside the door: "Senior sister, you should be more open-minded. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Daming City."

"Junior brother."

Yao Xue turned around and saw her junior brother Qu Chengfeng walking in.

Compared to him, Qu Chengfeng was like a fish in water after entering the capital. He also took part in the autumn examination this year and even became the second place.

It seems that he is going to be a high-ranking official.

I heard that Qu Chengfeng often went in and out of the residence of the Minister of Rites, discussing philosophy and metaphysics, and it was confirmed that he would soon join the Ministry of Rites as a doctor, directly becoming a fifth-rank official.

Yao Xue didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, and she had no ability to stop it.

Ever since Qu Chengfeng suffered the disaster in Qinghe, he has been completely transformed.

"you've changed."

Yao Xue started talking.

Qu Chengfeng chuckled: "People change, Senior Sister, you have also changed a lot because of that man called Li Rui."

Speaking of Li Rui, Yao Xue was a little dazed.

I haven't thought of this name for a long time.

At first, the two of them often exchanged letters, but as the affairs of the imperial city became more and more numerous and complicated, she was already exhausted just dealing with the current affairs, and she no longer had the heart to write letters.

"Junior brother, you are right. We have all changed a lot in Qinghe."

Later, Taoist Zhang said.

In fact, Qinghe was the place he specially chose for his three disciples to face the disaster. He and his junior brother Qu Chengfeng survived the disaster, while his eldest brother stayed there forever.

"Senior Sister, are you still in touch with Li Rui?"

Qu Chengfeng asked.

Yao Xue shook her head: "It's been a long time since we last contacted each other."

For some reason, she always felt that Qu Chengfeng mentioned Li Rui too many times recently.

"Is it an illusion?"

"Oh."

Qu Chengfeng nodded: "Then I won't bother you anymore."

Get out of the yard.

Qu Chengfeng stood under the brick-red palace wall mixed with cinnabar, deep in thought.

He looked at his fingertips.

A wisp of green air appeared in his hand. It was exactly the immortal energy that the Ghost Sect obtained from Qinghe.

He raised his other hand.

There was a slight hissing sound.

Another wisp of green energy appeared at the fingertips on the other side.

"The prototype of fairy spirit."

Qu Chengfeng muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Exiled Immortal!" In the eyes of others, there seemed to be no essential difference between these two strands of immortal energy, but in his eyes, they were very different.

"There are other exiled immortals in Qinghe."

Qu Chengfeng's eyes almost became scorching.

"So, who is the exiled immortal?"

"I really want to meet him."

"Qu Chengfeng became the runner-up?"

Li Rui looked at the official bulletin sent from the capital, and his first glance fell on the three words "Qu Chengfeng".

"Could it be that he has finally come to his senses?"

He was quite familiar with Qu Chengfeng, but he really didn't see that he had the talent to study.

I heard that he was going to work as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites.

The starting point is the fifth grade.

When it comes to being an official, there are huge differences between people.

He was born into a peasant family and earned his background entirely by himself. Although he was promoted quickly, he was only a sixth-rank captain.

But Qu Chengfeng is very different.

Not to mention that he ranked second in the exam, he had good talent. The owner of his master's Wenxian Tower became the director of the Imperial Observatory, one of the top five big figures in the empire.

When all these conditions are added together, his starting point is an end point that is out of reach for many officials.

of course.

Li Rui was not envious.

There were many officials who started from a high point. There was even a child prodigy who became a third-rank official at the age of eighteen, but he remained a third-rank official until his death.

in contrast.

There are also some officials whose careers only improved when they were in their forties or fifties, but they were able to enter the cabinet and become important officials of the court.

There are many such cases.

Stability is the key, so that you can go far.

Li Rui did not dwell on the matter of Qu Chengfeng for too long, but continued to read the official report with great interest.

This official report is a great way to learn about major events in the world.

Especially for storytellers, it is excellent material for making up stories.

"The Lord of Donghai City and the Sword Immortal of Daoxuan Sect have agreed to compete at the shore of the East Sea."

"The Northwest Sword King killed 3,000 barbarian cavalrymen with his sword, and his power shocked the world."

"Auspicious signs descended from heaven to the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor was greatly pleased."

The time of eating melon is always short and happy.

The official report was only one page long, and most of the content was just briefly mentioned, with only a few hundred words at most, which was really not satisfying to read.

Put down the newspaper.

Li Rui took out a small wooden box from his arms.

If you look at it from a spiritual eye, it is simply shining with golden light.

Once opened.

The fragrance is astounding.

The whole box was filled with sixth-grade pills, and there were even two fifth-grade ones.

Although Tiandimeng did business and made a lot of money, it could not afford to eat like this every day.

The reason why Li Rui is so wealthy is, of course, that he has been living beyond his means.

In the early days, of course, the focus was on dividing the money with the big guys, but now that the business has been going on for a long time, Jiang Linxian, Tie Kuang and the Lord of Dragon Court all think that the monthly settlement is too troublesome, so they changed it to an annual settlement.

Who knows whether Yu State has the technology or not? Settlement every month is such a waste of manpower.

Li Rui can just take out a part of it for himself first.

And then make up for it when the time comes.

Simply put, enjoy first and pay later.

Huabei!

To use the professional terminology of the previous life, it means leveraging.

Friends who often owe money know that appropriate debt can actually be more motivating.

For example, Li Rui now has no shortage of elixirs and his cultivation progress is frighteningly fast.

He took out two sixth-grade elixirs from the wooden box and put them into his mouth.

Carefully refine and absorb the medicinal effects.

The reason why all the pills were not taken at once was based on this principle of economy.

Even if you are rich, you can't waste it, right?
Li Rui has been frugal for most of his life, but he has no intention of spending lavishly after suddenly becoming rich.

When it comes to living, you still have to be thrifty.

Li Rui completed a day's practice meticulously.

Then get under the quilt.

Continue to practice.

"Master, do you think Old Man Tie can do it?"

Liu Tiezhu looked at Tie Kuang who was working seriously on the iron.

Now he finally understood that this old man Tie was indeed a hidden master. Although he knew the old man's temper, he no longer dared to be careless.

I know even more.

The weapon that Tie Kuang was thinking about day and night turned out to be the legendary immortal weapon.

Those are immortal soldiers!

Liu Tiezhu was extremely excited when he mastered a method of inflating air.

The old man Tie is simply inhuman, he wants to create immortal weapons directly.

As his knowledge grew, Liu Tiezhu realized very well that the last magical weapon of Yu State came into being thirty years ago, when he was just born.

"Maybe it's possible."

Li Rui, a layman, certainly could not give an answer.

Ever since he knew that Tie Kuang was refining immortal weapons, Tie Kuang simply allowed Li Rui to enter the backyard.

But apart from the master and his disciple, no one else can set foot in the backyard.

Not even the people from Shenbing Villa can do it.

Ever since Li Rui beat up the people from Shenbing Villa last time, Tie Kuang went back to Shenbing Villa in person.

then.

The people at Shenbing Villa became much more honest and never caused any trouble again.

The old man Tie Kuang has always been reliable in his work, otherwise Li Rui would not dare to use a big sect like Shenbing Villa to establish his authority.

Ever since that incident.

There were fewer people lurking in the city.

After all, Shenbing Villa suffered such a huge loss, but it did not fight back. Apart from the eight major sects, who else in the city would dare to have any evil intentions against Tiandi Alliance?

Even people from the eight major sects need to think carefully.

To put it bluntly, those who come to Qinghe are all workers for the sect, and everyone is afraid of people with strong backgrounds.

It's not worth sacrificing yourself for the sake of the sect.

Just thinking about it.

The hammer in Tie Kuang's hand suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself:
"wrong."

"wrong."

Liu Tiezhu was watching with great interest when Tie Kuang suddenly stopped, making him feel as if bugs were crawling all over his body.

"Old Tie, please keep going, don't stop."

Hearing Liu Tiezhu's words.

Tie Kuang snorted coldly: "You kid, you know shit. The weapon spirit has been smashed to pieces. What comes out is not an immortal weapon. Why do we need to continue fighting?"

Liu Tiezhu immediately became interested: "Weapon spirit?"

Tie Kuang was very patient with Liu Tiezhu. He explained: "The reason why an immortal weapon is an immortal weapon is because of its weapon spirit. Only when the weapon spirit is formed, the embryo can be considered formed."

Li Rui was listening on the side.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he was not good at blacksmithing, he had read a lot of books on weapon forging recently.

"People have souls, weapons also have spirits. The spirit of the weapon is the soul of the weapon. Only when the weapon has spirits can it open mountains and fill seas, and even defend itself against the enemy."

Tie Kuang continued:

"The weapon spirit takes shape, the blood of the monster's heart is infused, forged, and the beast's soul is refined into the weapon, becoming a weapon spirit."

This is also the reason why he came to Qinghe.

If we were to say where in the world there is the most high-grade monster blood, it would undoubtedly be the Witch Kingdom.

In fact.

Tie Kuang asked Li Rui to buy materials for immortal weapons, and most of the money was spent on monster blood. After all, to make immortal weapons, one needs monster blood of at least the third grade, so the price is naturally ridiculously expensive.

In other words, Li Rui has Dao Mo's way, otherwise he would not be able to do it even if he wanted to.

Tie Kuang: "In fact, in ancient times, there was another way to forge immortal weapons, and that was to use immortal energy as a guide."

"Now that the world has changed drastically, immortal energy naturally does not exist, but some special true energy can also be used as immortal energy to forge magic weapons. It's just that the true energy in the world is too scarce and can't be sought after."

Just as Tie Kuang was speaking.

Li Rui seemed to be thinking about something.

"Senior Tie, maybe I can help you."
