Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 287: Martial Arts Review: The First Crane of a Thousand Years

"World Martial Arts Review, No. 537."

Li Rui sat in the pavilion of the Military Officer's Mansion, listening to the gurgling water and looking at the dark gray clouds in the distant sky. Even from a long distance he could smell the faint smell of saltpeter in the air.

'What a grand occasion.'

Chizuru Martial Arts School opens.

This is a big deal.

Since Cao Wei has gone, he doesn't need to go to join the army.

Otherwise, outsiders would think that An Ning Wei had succumbed to the power of Qianhe Martial Arts School.

The main job of An Ning Wei is to monitor the major martial arts forces within its jurisdiction, and Qianhe Martial Arts School is naturally among them.

It is true that neither Li Rui nor Cao Wei can afford to offend the master of the Crane Martial Arts School, who is known for his White Crane Divine Fist. However, if they lose their prestige at the beginning, it will be more difficult to manage the Thousand Crane Martial Arts School later.

The majesty of the court is gone.

The two main officers, Li Rui and Cao Wei, will definitely be the ones who will be in trouble.

The two of them had already discussed Cao Wei's visit.

Yang Yong on the side said with a sigh: "As expected of a master above the martial arts rating, this is a great performance."

The museum opened today, and almost all the important people in the city went.

Perhaps only Li Rui is left.

There were a total of 517 people on the last World Martial Arts Review list, and this time there are 20 new people on the list, for a total of 537.

what is interesting is.

The owner of Qianzuru Martial Arts School was ranked 517th ten years ago, and now he is ranked 537th.

Ok.

They are all ranked last.

Therefore, there was a new title in the martial arts world, He Qiannian, who was rated as the number one martial artist.

Of course, it's just a joke behind the back.

If you really meet Crane Qiannian, you still have to respectfully call him Crane Master.

Although he was ranked last in martial arts rating, he was still a terrestrial immortal. Not to mention in Qinghe, he was one of the best in the entire Yunzhou.

He Qiannian is willing to come to Qinghe, which has elevated Qinghe's martial arts to a higher level.

If a school is opened to recruit disciples, it will benefit the court and the underworld in Yunzhou.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

"As an earthly immortal, this is not too much."

Yang Yong looked like he was watching the fun: "Brother, what do you think the immortal figure in the martial arts review looks like? Does he have horns on his head?"

Li Rui thought about Jiang Linxian and firmly denied Yang Yong's conjecture:
"No."

Yang Yong was just joking.

Now that I am old, I don't want to move. But if I were seventeen or eighteen years old, I would have stood on tiptoe to see what the great master He was like.

In front of Qianzuru Martial Arts School.

The thick smoke dissipated and the front of the door was bustling with people, very lively.

He Wanchun put his hands behind his back and walked into Qianhe Martial Arts Hall with two disciples of Guiyun Sect.

"congratulations."

He clasped his fists towards the tall middle-aged man standing at the door.

"It's Elder He. Long time no see."

He Qiannian's eldest disciple, Xiao Yu, laughed and returned the gift. Then he asked his fellow apprentice beside him to take the things from He Wanchun's hand, and pulled He Wanchun towards the martial arts hall.

He Wanchun had a smiling face.

He glanced around the lobby.

It was full of people, but Grandmaster Crane, who was ranked number one in martial arts, was nowhere to be seen.

They were all received by disciples.

But it’s normal to think about it.

He has been the leader of a sect for thousands of years, and the people of Qinghe are all small fish and shrimps. It doesn't matter whether they are seen or not.

If you don't have that much skill, you might as well practice more.

Rules and etiquette are a protective umbrella for the weak, and the strong do not need them.

Moreover, as a famous grandmaster, He Qiannian has several extremely outstanding disciples.

For example, the eldest disciple Xiao Yu in front of him is a warrior at the fourth level of the innate realm.

As He Wanchun walked, he said, "I have specially prepared a gift for Brother Xiao this time."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Elder He, you are too polite."

He Wanchun lowered his voice a bit: "Brother Xiao, do you know which business in Qinghe is the most profitable?"

Hear the words.

The smile on Xiao Yu's face turned playful.

It seems that what Elder He from Guiyun Sect is going to give is not some magical medicine or magic weapon.

He Wanchun asked himself and answered: "It's the monster business."

"If Brother Xiao is willing, my Guiyun Sect can split the profits with your sect 30% to 70% and do business together."

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.

Master He Qiannian came to Qinghe at the invitation of Lord Yuan. In fact, in addition to He Qiannian, there are five other earthly immortals with martial arts ratings above the average who are also planning to establish their own sects in Yunzhou.

According to Lord Yuan, if there was only one Shenbing Villa in the Yunzhou martial arts world, it would be too boring.

The crane has been living in Qinghe for thousands of years, which is why it is named after it.

Xiao Yu was the only one who took care of the affairs of the martial arts school, and He Qiannian never asked about it.

It can be understood that He Qiannian was going into seclusion in another place at the invitation of Lord Yuan, and the real owner of the martial arts school was actually Xiao Yu.

Different from He Qiannian's indifference.

Xiao Yu really wanted to expand Qianhe Martial Arts School, or even upgrade it to a sect. He would take advantage of the presence of his master He Qiannian to establish his own school and become a master.

But the martial arts school wants to expand.

In addition to teaching well, what is more important is to have money.

In Qinghe, when it comes to making money, it’s of course the monster business.

"Why, Mr. He has a way?"

He Wanchun smiled mysteriously:
“Even though I don’t have it, someone else does.”

It's late at night and the moon is hanging on the eastern branch.

Joined the military office.

Li Rui was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, breathing heavily, when suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door.

When I opened my eyes and pushed the door open, I saw Shi Zhou, Zhou Ting and Bai Jing standing anxiously outside.

"Brother Shi, what are you doing?"

Shi Zhou's face was extremely ugly, and he cursed: "Damn He Wanchun!"

Li Rui frowned slightly.

If I remember correctly, the chief elder of Guiyun Sect in Qinghe seems to be called He Wanchun.

"what happened?"

As he spoke, he led Shi Zhou and the other two into the room and sat down.

After sitting down, Shi Zhou drank a cup of tea and then spoke:
"Five days ago, He Wanchun and Xiao Yu from Qianhe Martial Arts School came to me and said they wanted to help me do the monster business. With Brother Li's request, I of course refused."

"But damn, today I got the news that my Shenbing Villa's caravan in Wu Country was robbed."

"It must have been done by the damn Guiyun Sect's He Qianhe Martial Arts School!"

"He Wanchun clearly wants to force us to give up our trade routes and get involved in the monster business."

Thinking of this, Shi Zhou gritted his teeth.

Zhou Ting and Bai Jing both looked solemn.

Although this has not happened to them yet, it is estimated that it will happen soon.

Li Rui groaned.

Considering that He Wanchun had tried every possible means to visit him before, it is not difficult to guess what happened.

Guiyun Sect also wanted to get a piece of the monster business, and Elder He also brought Qianhe Villa into the picture.

"I see."

Li Rui nodded.

He had anticipated what happened today.

The monster business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more powerful people in Qinghe, which is bound to attract the covetousness of others. Although he has no intention of controlling the monster business, it does not prevent others from putting this crime on his head.

In an attempt to divide the profits.

After all, if the monster trade route of the Wu Kingdom was really so easy to open up, the Tiandi Alliance would not be the largest one now.

The situation in Wu Kingdom is already chaotic.

To do this business, besides having money, the most important thing is to have people. Either someone from the Wu Kingdom court or someone from the bandit gang.

The Wu Kingdom has been closed for a thousand years. How could these big clans know the senior officials of the Wu Kingdom? Even if they wanted to make friends with them, they would avoid them as much as possible.

Who isn’t afraid of being charged with treason?
Even in the Wu Kingdom, the business of monsters is not something that anyone can touch.

Dao Mo dared to pave the way for Li Rui because Xia Xiaotang’s master was a great wizard.

It's that simple.

Otherwise, at least a third-rank official from the Wu Kingdom would need to speak up before those monster dealers would dare to do business with the Yu Kingdom.

Seeing that Li Rui didn't say anything, Shi Zhou couldn't help but get anxious:

"Brother Li, you have to help your brother."

There is a huge gap between bulk and bulk.

Shenbing Villa is a major sect in Yunzhou. In the past, it had produced powerful people at the level of Earth Immortal. However, with the sudden death of the previous sect leader, there are no more powerful Earth Immortals in the sect.

This is almost fatal for a large batch.

The reason why Shenbing Villa can hold on is because of its relationship with General Xue.

With the protection of General Xue, they can continue to maintain their dignity in Yunzhou.

When encountering a big event, General Xue would naturally take action, but if the matter has not yet reached the point where it alarms General Xue, it would be difficult to deal with.

He Wanchun first chose Shenbing Villa.

Isn't it just thinking of picking the softest persimmon first?

Otherwise, why not go to Baizhanmen or Daoxuanzong?

Both Baizhan Sect and Daoxuan Sect have earth immortals in charge, and they are very powerful and no one dares to bully them. As for Li Rui, he is protected by Lord Yuan, so anyone who dares to provoke him will be the easiest to bully.

As long as Shenbing Villa surrenders, tell him who to contact in Wu Kingdom.

After figuring out the way, He Wanchun could naturally find someone to connect with the team.

Li Rui smiled and looked at Shi Zhou, Zhou Ting, and Bai Jing:
"My three brothers, you are so confused. The affairs of the underworld are underworld. How can the three of us be defeated by two families?"

The three of them thought Li Rui could come up with some good idea.

But after hearing what Li Rui said.

Looking at each other.

It’s that simple, crude and direct.

Shi Zhou's face showed a bitterness: "Brother Li, the owner of Qianhe Martial Arts School is He Qiannian, a master of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Even if we exclude He Qiannian, He Wanchun and Xiao Yu are also fourth-grade innate masters. I'm afraid we can't afford to offend them."

Not only did he think so, but Bai Jing and Zhou Ting, who had stronger sects, also thought so.

If it were that easy, they would have done it long ago.

After all.

They are just a branch of the sect, but the owner of Qianhe Martial Arts School even lives in Qinghe.

Far water cannot quench near thirst.

If a conflict really happens, they will definitely be the ones who suffer.

Li Rui smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't worry, my three brothers. Grandmaster He is powerful, but don't forget that this is Yunzhou, and Lord Yuan is still here."

I heard the three words "Lord Yuan".

The three of them all brightened up: "What does Brother Li mean?"

"You can hit them as you like, just don't kill them."

In front of Qianzuru Martial Arts School.

Three or five disciples gathered in groups and were chatting.

At this time.

A few strong men with swords came over. Seeing that they were unfamiliar, the disciples of Qianhe Martial Arts School hurried forward to stop them: "Who are you?"

The scarred leader raised his lips slightly: "Is this Qianhe Martial Arts School?"

"Correct."

The martial arts school disciple nodded, becoming even more confused.

What does it mean?
When Scarface heard this, he smiled even more, and his scar trembled like a fat worm:
"Brothers, we've arrived."

Seeing the strange behavior of several people, the disciples of Qianhe Martial Arts School immediately became alert and shouted: "Who are you and what are you doing?"

Scarface's smile has turned into a wild laugh.

He pointed at the people behind him.

"introduce."

"This is Wang Pu from Baizhan Sect, nicknamed the Barbarian Lion."

"This is Cheng Fei from the Daoxuan Sect, nicknamed Taoist Qingfeng."

"As for me, I am just a small character in Shenbing Villa."

When the disciples of Qianhe Martial Arts School heard this, their confusion reached its peak. Of course, at his level, he didn't know about the grudge between his own martial arts school and Shenbing Villa.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Scarface grinned:
"Simple, according to the rules of the martial arts world, the three of us are here to ask for martial arts lessons."

Want some advice on martial arts?

The faces of the three disciples of Qianhe Martial Arts School suddenly changed.

A more appropriate word would be "kick the door"!

Scarface raised his foot and kicked the nearest disciple in the chest.

boom!
The disciple from Qianhe Martial Arts School flew out like a sandbag.

"Someone come quickly, the challenger is coming!"

The same situation also happened in Guiyun Villa.

The people from the three sects were extremely sensible. They did not even enter the door. Instead, they ran away after the fight and beat up all the disciples from the Guiyun Sect and the apprentices from the Qianhe Villa who were outside. The ordinary disciples all had swollen faces and noses.

The fight lasted for three days in a row.

Moreover, he directly announced his name, which was extremely arrogant.

Although it was not fatal, it was very embarrassing for Guiyun Sect and Qianhe Villa.

A force is active in the underworld.

Face is important.

"Brother, these three sects are going too far. They don't take our master seriously!"

He Qiannian's third disciple said viciously.

These days.

Disciples of Qianhe Martial Arts School were constantly beaten, leaving him humiliated.

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes.

Of course he understood why the three sects did this.

I just didn't expect that he would dare to challenge me so unscrupulously and openly.

While he was thinking.

He Wanchun arrived at Qianhe Martial Arts Hall with a unhappy look on his face. Obviously, he did not expect that the counterattack from Shenbing Villa would be so direct.

The reason why he chose Qianhe Villa and was willing to take only 30% was because he was impressed by the strength of Qianhe Martial Arts School.

But I didn't expect that Shenbing Villa would come up with such a dirty trick.

They were caught off guard and suffered great humiliation.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think?"

Of course, he didn't come here to be helpless, but just to give enough respect to Qianzuru Martial Arts School.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "It's just a small fight, nothing to be afraid of."

"Since you want to fight, then let's fight."

Could it be possible that his Qianhe Martial Arts School was afraid of the three sects of the Divine Weapon Villa?

It’s not our sect.

There are only three branch sects, and there is not even a fourth-grade innate person. What is there to be afraid of?

Seeing Xiao Yu's statement, He Wanchun smiled: "With Brother Xiao's words, I feel relieved."

Xiao Yu nodded with a smile.

During this period of time, he has been learning more about the monster business, and the more he looks at it, the more frightened he becomes.

Even though he was tempted, he had to do this business.

Just when the two of them were discussing it.

There were footsteps outside the door.

Turned his head.

Then he saw He Qiannian's second disciple Wei Chong walk into the house.

He looked at the people in the room, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly:
"Master said, let's stop here, the martial arts school should do what the martial arts school should do."
