Chapter 298 Blood Sacrifice

Chapter 298 Blood Sacrifice
Unexpected disaster?

Li Rui looked at Nie Siming who was walking away, chuckled and shook his head.

He also understood why Jiang Linxian did this.

It's nothing more than helping him build momentum in the Marquis' Mansion.

Otherwise, you would really think that the reason why he could become a teacher in the Marquis' Mansion so easily and even ride in Marquis Yuan's carriage was because of the preparations made in advance.

If you gain fame, you will also have to endure the backlash that fame brings.

With Lord Yuan's support, even though Nie Siming disliked him, his life was not in danger.

Since it has nothing to do with life and death.

That was nothing, especially compared to what he had gained.

Just a little bit of annoyance.

And if he didn't hear it, Nie Siming would wait until he broke through to the innate level before taking action. Such a particular and principled enemy is really hard to find even with a lantern.

Cao Wei walked up to Li Rui with a smile on his face: "Brother Li, it's okay. If you can really break through the Xiantian realm, it will be worth getting beaten up."

Li Rui has not been humiliated many times.

Of course he should cherish it especially.

Li Rui agrees:

"Brother Cao is right."

If being beaten once can make one achieve enlightenment, one can even ask to be beaten twice more.

After all, the reward was so great and the price so small that he was worried it was fake.

Qinghe City, East Market Demon Market.

As more and more people came to Qinghe to do business with monsters, the Municipal Trade Bureau set up a monster pen in the East Market to imprison monsters.

"You should be more careful and know what you should and shouldn't mess with."

"Don't judge a monster's danger level by its appearance."

"Otherwise you'll die miserably."

It's time for new people to enter the Demon Fence.

Generally speaking, the elders will explain the rules clearly to these newcomers. It’s not that they are worried that these people will steal the monsters, but that every once in a while, someone will disappear from the monster pen.

After checking, it was found that they were all eaten alive by monsters.

Yaolan didn't want to lose another sum of money for no reason.

Although the old man from the Demonic Guard only spoke for about a quarter of an hour and then left, leaving behind a few new guys from the Demonic Guard staring at each other in amazement.

It's not that I'm irresponsible.

But the old men in the demon pen all know it, and no matter how much they say, it will be useless.

Whether you can survive depends on your understanding, or maybe luck.

"Let's go. I said we have to clean the demon pen tonight, or we'll lose our first day's wages."

As soon as I heard about the wages.

The teenagers became excited.

The Demon Pen is dangerous, but the money offered is extremely generous, otherwise how could they try so hard to get into the Demon Pen even though they know it is dangerous?

It was in a corner that the boy had never noticed.

A harmless-looking red fox slowly raised its head.

"Master Li, please see if the share of the demon pen can be increased a little more."

"You know, people often die in this demon pen, and the pension is a big expense."

In the Municipal Trade Department.

Yan Zhongxing looked at Li Rui with a smile on his face.

Now the Monster Stall has become the bulk of the Municipal Trade Bureau's income, and Li Rui has occupied 40% of the monster business in the city.

Most of the management fees of the Demon Fence are paid by the Tiandi Alliance.

That is what Li Rui came up with.

As an official of the Ministry of Revenue, he certainly knew that he had to be polite to Lord Jin, not to mention that Li Rui was also a fifth-rank official like him.

Li Rui chuckled: "Master Yan, let's talk business. The Tiandi Alliance has already paid a lot. You also know that I am an honest person and I don't make much. Why don't we go ask other families?"

Yan Zhongxing rolled his eyes secretly in his heart.

Sincerity?

Not making much money?

Even if others don't know, he must know that if we only talk about the monster business, Tiandi Alliance is undoubtedly the number one in Qinghe.

It’s just that the Tiandi Alliance acts in a low-key manner, so outsiders seem to think that it is suppressed by the other major sects.

In fact, he has been making a fortune in silence.

But no matter what Yan Zhongxing said, Li Rui would never give in.

He was serving in the imperial court.

He had served as a lieutenant in the Municipal Trade Bureau for quite some time, so he knew all the ins and outs of the business very well.

The wages of avarice is death.

The people in the Demon Fence died for gold and silver.

Moreover, even if he increased the share, in the end it would only feed those who were in charge and managers and so on, and would not flow into the hands of those who did the work at all.

As it was said in the previous life, there would be no killing without buying and selling.

What Li Rui can do.

In other words, he ordered the disciples of the Tiandi Alliance to pay more attention and exercise good discipline.

Then he would pay for it out of his own pocket, and if it was an elderly person from Qinghe, he would ask Yang Yong to deliver it. There was no other way.

Even if he doesn't do the monster business, someone else will do it.

"If you want to blame someone, blame the world."

Since this is a business matter, we certainly cannot make concessions at will.

Otherwise once you let go.

If there is a first time, there will be a second time, and the price of the demon stall will continue to rise.

The money lost was Li Rui's own pocket.

Li Rui took advantage of Yan Zhongxing's dry mouth and tea time to speak: "Master Yan, the facilities in this monster pen are still too imperfect. I heard that many monsters died in the monster pen. This is not good."

"If this continues, I'll have no choice but to build my own demon pen."

When Yan Zhongxing heard this, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand.

Self-built?

I absolutely disagree with that!

"Master Li, it's all because of the people under your command who are careless. I'm going to talk to them right away."

"Don't worry."

A smile on his face.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Yan. You know, I don't keep my word in the Tiandi Alliance. If the other leaders are not happy, there is nothing I can do."

Yan Zhongxing sneered in his heart.

What you say doesn’t count?

Although the Tiandi Alliance has many leaders, the only one whose words count is Li Rui.

The others all became high-level thugs.

‘Old fox. ’

He cursed inwardly, but still smiled: "Master Li, just keep your heart in your stomach."

Then he sighed:

"You know, these monsters are all ferocious. Just yesterday, a new group of people came, and another one died."

"Difficult, difficult, difficult."

Yan Zhongxing shook his head.

After wasting a boring half hour, Li Rui finally found an excuse to leave the Municipal Trade Bureau. Otherwise, Yan Zhongxing could have kept talking until dusk, and then he would have to drag him out for a drink, which would have been another boring, tedious and uninteresting day. 'Practicing martial arts is still more interesting.'

Late at night.

When Li Rui passed away, he left behind a green lamp and an ancient book.

I'm enjoying it.

The book in his hand is collected by the Imperial Observatory and is a note left by a great monk from a major sect in ancient times.

Most of them are anecdotes.

Li Rui read the stories of these fairy kings and fairies with great fascination.

There is also a lot of useful information.

Just like the passage before us.

"Using the energy of the Immortal King to cleanse the tendons and marrow can increase your perception of the energy of heaven and earth, and use your spiritual roots."

To put it simply, in ancient times, one could ask the Immortal King to pass on energy to improve one's spiritual roots.

But now there is no Immortal King at all.

The books in the Imperial Observatory have been almost completely read through, but the methods of improving spiritual roots in them are almost impossible to achieve. Improving spiritual roots was also an extremely difficult task in ancient times.

Not to mention that he upgraded his spiritual roots from medium-grade to high-grade spiritual roots, which was even more difficult.

A top-grade spiritual root would be considered a genius in ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant.

Not to mention nowadays when spiritual energy is exhausted.

'It's difficult, difficult, difficult.'

Although Li Rui had anticipated this, he couldn't help but feel regretful because he couldn't do anything about it.

"Middle-grade spiritual roots are already pretty good, especially compared to those old demons in the stories of the previous life who started out with low-grade spiritual roots."

Li Rui put down the ancient book in his hand.

Fall down and go to sleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he arrived on the dream platform, where a person was already waiting.

It was Yuan Xiong.

Yuan Xiong wanted to spar with him to improve his martial arts, but now he was being simulated by Li Rui in his dream.

He was originally a congenital martial artist who had reached a certain level. This made him the perfect training target for Li Rui.

The moves he learned from sparring with Yuan Xiong can be used in actual combat to identify and fill in the gaps.

Yuan Xiong can only hit him once.

But he could beat Yuan Xiong thousands or tens of thousands of times.

So actually it was Li Rui who made the profit.

"bring it on."

The corner of his mouth slightly raised, a long sword appeared in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, two figures collided in mid-air.

late at night.

In an alley outside An Ning Wei, in an unnoticed corner, a little fox with fiery red hair was staring at the tall walls of An Ning Wei with bright eyes.

'Dragon spirit.'

It said silently in its heart.

"It seems that the little white dragon is in here."

"Finally I found it."

A human-like sneer appeared on the little fox's face.

The old people who live at the foot of the mountain all know the saying of fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake, and mouse, which means that animals such as foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and mice are human-like and should not be provoked at will, otherwise disaster will be brought.

This point is also applicable to monsters.

Fox-type monsters are generally much more intelligent than other monsters.

It was deliberately captured by the demon hunters of the Wu Kingdom and then sent to Qinghe.

He was ordered by the Demon Lord to come to Qinghe to look for the son of the old dragon in the Shiwan Mountains, the Little White Dragon.

Then capture the little white dragon and hand it over to the lord of Boulder City.

As for why the city lord didn't take action himself.

On the one hand, it is because the connection between monsters is more acute, and on the other hand, there are many masters in Qinghe. In addition, due to the previous siege, the Wu people were strictly checked, so it is very difficult to sneak into the city.

That's why the Lord of Giant Stone City used the dragon scales to ask the Demon Lord to send his monsters into Qinghe to find out the news about the little white dragon.

The little fox licked his lips:

'Humans taste really good.'

last night.

It couldn't help itself and ate a human in the demon pen. Fortunately, it did it secretly enough so no one could notice it.

'It's time to go back. '

The little fox looked at the sky and thought.

Then it turned around and disappeared into the depths of the alley. A moment later, it returned to the demon pen as if nothing had happened.

backyard.

The room was red, not from the fire, but from Tie Kuang's raging fire energy burning.

Same as before.

Li Rui put his hands on Tie Kuang's back.

The true meaning of the Sage of War madly poured into Tie Kuang's body.

The sound of hammering iron continued to be heard.

Today, Tie Kuang is in much better condition than before. His eyes are extremely focused and even have a hint of fanaticism.

A full half hour passed.

The fiery red energy that gushed out of Tie Kuang's mouth gradually disappeared.

Li Rui suddenly felt a pain in his flesh.

He had seen such scenes too many times. Every time Tie Kuang's true energy stopped, it meant that another piece of divine iron was wasted. This was already the fourth piece of divine iron. Even with Li Rui's family fortune, he could not afford it.

Immortal weapons not only test the skills of the weaponsmith, but also his family background.

Those who have no money cannot afford to build immortal soldiers.

Li Rui's money is still spent beyond his means. He borrowed it in advance from the Tiandi Alliance as the leader of the alliance. It is really half of the Tiandi Alliance that supports him as the leader.

Just when you thought the day was over.

Tie Kuang stretched his hand back and shouted:

"Jiao Lin, hurry!"

There was obvious urging in his words.

Li Rui and Liu Tiezhu were both shocked. After so many times, it was the first time that Tie Kuang asked for the scales of the giant dragon.

Liu Tiezhu quickly took out the dragon scales from a box nearby and trotted over to Tie Kuang.

Tie Kuang didn't even look at it and threw it directly into the fire.

Subsequently.

He exhaled his Qi once again, and suddenly the room was ablaze with fire.

Calcinated dragon scales.

This process lasted a whole day and night.

Even with Tie Kuang's powerful inner energy as an innate warrior, he couldn't bear it.
