Chapter 303 Spiritual Root Improvement
"Brother, the border between Yu and Wu is in turmoil. Nie Siming led 800 soldiers out of the city overnight, and Cao Wei also went."

Wake up early in the morning.

Ning Zhongtian went to the military office and told Li Rui what happened last night.

"Well, I see."

Li Rui nodded.

Ning Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Li Rui was so calm.

"Brother, did you leave someone behind?"

Li Rui rolled his eyes. "It was so noisy last night, how could I not have heard it? It kept me awake all night, it was really annoying."

"."

Ning Zhongtian was speechless.

"It must be because Big Brother's methods are so mysterious that I am so suspicious."

He gave a bitter smile, then cursed, "This Nie guy is really a piece of shit. He took 800 people out of the camp and didn't even tell my brother about such an important matter."

Everyone in Qinghe knows that Nie Siming and the military officer of An Ningwei are not on good terms.

Those sects are all fence-sitters.

Li Rui's prestige had reached its peak because of the Qinghe enclosure incident, but now due to Nie Siming's suppression, it was directly weakened by more than half.

Some sects took advantage of the situation and when they saw that the situation was not right, they all joined Nie Siming and secretly did harm to the Tiandi Alliance.

Even inside An Ningwei.

The control is not as good as before.

Now Li Rui spends most of his time at home doing nothing, which is a clear sign of being sidelined.

Everything is inseparable from Nie Siming.

Li Rui waved his hand indifferently:

"Fourth brother, anger is harmful to your health and lifespan, so don't get angry easily."

"General Nie is the Qinghe inspector appointed by the Marquis. We should listen to General Nie."

The post of inspector.

It's a temporary position.

The official rank can be high or low depending on the subject of the inspection.

Like Nie Siming, all matters in Qinghe are within the scope of his inspection. Although his rank is not the highest, his power is great. Coupled with his status as the adopted son of the Marquis, he is the highest official in Qinghe.

All officials in Qinghe must listen to Nie Siming.

Since he is a superior.

There is really no need to tell his subordinate much about what to do.

It is a favor to say it, and it is also a duty not to say it.

Nothing wrong with that.

Li Rui is very open-minded about this kind of thing.

Moreover, because Nie Siming came to Qinghe, although the border was in chaos, he didn't have to worry about it personally. Compared with these, it was more than worth it to suffer a little grievance.

Li Rui persuaded him.

Ning Zhongtian didn't say anything else.

Come here.

He stayed and had a bowl of meat porridge in the military officer's mansion, and then left satisfied. This made Wang Zhao suspect that Ning Zhongtian came there deliberately to eat for free.

Had breakfast.

He also practiced martial arts in the mansion.

It was already noon when Li Rui went out.

The simple day of joining the army officially began.

There were only a thousand men in the An Ning Guard, and Nie Siming took away eight hundred of them last night, which meant that only four battalions of soldiers were left in Ning Zhongtian's hands.

The once bustling parade grounds have become much quieter.

Li Rui went out and went to the Municipal Trade Bureau again, still for the matter of the Demon Lan.

As soon as I walked in the door.

Yan Zhongxing came over and sighed as soon as he saw me:
"Brother Li, you have to help me this time."

Li Rui slightly turned his body to avoid Yan Zhongxing's hand that was about to grab his sleeve, and said calmly: "Master Yan, what happened?"

Yan Zhongxing's palm missed, feeling a little embarrassed:

"It's not a demon pen, but a business trip."

Li Rui looked serious.

Although he was promoted to become a military officer of Anning Guard, he continued to serve as the Captain of Commerce because the trade between the two countries became more and more important.

Traveling as a trader is his main job.

Yan Zhongxing: "Brother Li, caravans have been in trouble recently. In addition to the robbers from the East Witch, a group of monsters have gathered recently to attack the caravans transporting monsters. I heard that many of them were monsters that were sold before and then escaped for unknown reasons."

Monster Attack
Li Rui groaned.

Ever since he opened the Gate to the West and was able to communicate with monsters, he realized that monsters simply could not communicate with humans. In addition, their temperaments were very different, so humans thought they were not very intelligent. But in fact, they also knew that revenge was necessary.

Those monsters were caught and then sold, so they must have hatred in their hearts.

It was only natural that they would attack the caravan after escaping.

"I'll send someone to investigate this matter."

Yan Zhongxing was overjoyed: "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Li."

On the border of Yuwu, deep in the mountains.

Three people were sitting around the campfire, talking in low voices.

"Brother, if we do this, will the officials from Qinghe City come?"

"All those officials are born in the Year of the Rat. How could they be so brave as to go out of the city to deal with such matters?"

"Not necessarily. I heard that the Li guy in Qinghe is famous for his fighting skills. We'd better be careful."

The three strong men were talking to each other.

The youngest among them spat to the side and said, "What are you afraid of? Our eldest brother has already made a breakthrough a few days ago and is now a genuine innate warrior. How can he be afraid of a little An Ning Guard joining the army? Ridiculous!"

If there were anyone from the Northwest Army present, they would definitely be able to recognize the identities of the three people.

Three Wolves of Wind and Sand.

In the Northern Desert, these three villains are hated by the Northwest Army.

He is the third oldest among the three, named Ma Lie, and has the most violent temper.

The second son, He Yang, was a cautious person. He was still a little worried: "The man surnamed Li is an official of the Yu State. If we kill him, the Yu State court will definitely fight us to the death."

Ma Lie's eyes flashed with sarcasm:

"Second brother, have you become stupid after living in the mountains for the past few years?"

"Our names have long been on the bounty notice. It's a fight to the death. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"And didn't we say that when we brothers succeed in this, we can go to Wu Country and become officials. That's the life that real people should live."

most of the time.

It was the second and third sons who were talking.

The eldest brother Ke Qi just listened quietly.

The three brothers were not biologically related, but became sworn brothers later.

We became sworn brothers in the Northwest Military Camp.

If it weren't for that damn unscrupulous guerrilla who insisted on sending them to their deaths, he might have become a general of the Northwest Army by now.

He knew he was going to die, but he still went. He refused to do it anyway, and then he escaped from the barracks with his two brothers at night.

When the guerrilla general found out, he led his men to hunt him down overnight.

Now that they are still alive, it naturally means that the guerrilla general is dead.

A deserter, and one who had killed a general. Unsurprisingly, the names of these three people appeared on the bounty notice of the Yu State court.

all the time.

They only dared to roam outside the borders of the State of Yu.

Later, when he heard that the Wu Kingdom was in chaos, he fled from the northwest to the Shiwanda Mountains.

I have been working as a swordsman in Wu Kingdom for many years.

Now the mayor of the Giant Stone City of the Wu Kingdom came to them and said that as long as they could kill an official of the Yu Kingdom named Li Rui, he would let them be the deputy mayor of Giant Stone City.

They agreed without hesitation.

Who would want to be a thief when you can be an official?

Anyway, we have already killed the guerrilla general, so we don’t care if we kill one more soldier.

While the three of them were talking.

A man in a black robe slowly approached:

"I have robbed the goods from the Divine Weapon Villa. Li Rui should be leaving the city soon. You three only have one chance, so don't let the city lord down."

Ma Lie snorted coldly:
"We don't need you to tell us what to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Qi said, "Okay, don't worry, we will take care of this matter."

Then he looked at the black-robed man in front of him with some fear.

In terms of combat capability alone, this man in black robe may be far inferior to this innate warrior.

But he is one of the rare demon tamers in the Wu Kingdom.

A demon tamer, as the name suggests, is someone who can control demon beasts.

They have been swordsmen in the Witch Kingdom for so many years, so of course they know how powerful the demon tamers are. Many people in the Witch Kingdom can control demon beasts, but they either tame the demon beasts or form companions with them.

But the demon tamer is different.

Not only can he communicate with monsters, but he can even form a soul link with them. It's not just one companion, but multiple.

He is the real master of the monster.

The demon tamer has special physical requirements, so it is extremely rare in the Witch Kingdom.

Once you take action, you will attract a wave of monsters.

Most warriors would be crushed to death by the monsters before they even saw the person.

The man in black robe looked at the eldest brother Ke Qi and nodded with satisfaction: "You are very good, no wonder you can be the eldest brother among the three."

Ma Lie on the side was immediately annoyed:

"What do you mean!"

As soon as he stood up, he was pushed down by Ke Qi.

"Brother."

"shut up!"

The man in black robe looked at Ke Qi with a half-smile: "Don't worry, as long as you get things done, the position of deputy city lord of Giant Stone City will definitely be yours."

Ke Qi nodded: "I hope the Qi family can keep their promise."

The black-robed man uttered:
"How did you know that I was from the Qi family?"

Ke Qi chuckled: "I have been a swordsman in Wu Country for six or seven years. If I hadn't even heard of the reputation of Qi Feng, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, I would have died long ago."

The black-robed man Qi Feng raised his lips slightly:
"You are somewhat beyond my expectations."

As a core member of the Qi family, his status is almost equal to that of the mayor of Giant Stone City, so he dared to promise to be the deputy mayor.

"Since you recognize me, you should know that I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. As long as you can do your job well, the Qi family will not treat you unfairly. I can ask the ancestor to give you a surname."

Ke Qi's eyes lit up: "Okay, it's a deal!"

Done.

Qi Feng turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Qi Feng was nowhere to be seen.

Ma Lie then spoke up: "I didn't realize that this pretty boy was actually the evil spirit of the Ten Thousand Demon Lord."

About Qi Feng.

He has a great reputation in the northern border of the Witch Kingdom, even not lower than the innate warriors.

Just because during the war, he once attracted a tide of monsters and set a record of destroying an entire city by himself. He is truly a super ruthless person.

Ke Qi was in a very good mood:
"Let's go, this must be done."

The higher the status of the person who comes forward, the more importance the Qi family attaches to the matter.

The greater his chance of becoming the deputy lord of Boulder City.

"I've long been tired of being a swordsman."

"Second brother, third brother, when we become officials in Giant Stone City, we must build a big house with five entrances and marry ten wives!"

Qinghe, Anningwei.

Military Office.

late at night.

The lights were on in Li Rui's room, and a silhouette was printed on the window paper.

He stared at the object in his hand, lost in thought.

Is this it?

I saw that the spirit stone in my hand had changed from its previous crystal jade appearance to its current gold stone appearance.

If you take it out and use it as gold, I guess no one will notice.

Li Rui originally expected that it would take at least several years to nurture the spirit stone, but he never expected that it would be nurtured into the appearance described in the Book of All Spirits in just a few months.

"Could it be possible that I really have the talent of an immortal?"

Li Rui was speechless.

This speed was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, since the spirit-testing stone had already been nurtured, he did not delay any longer and immediately walked into the secret room, intending to crush the spirit-testing stone with the pestle and mortar that had been prepared.

But this spirit-testing stone is extremely hard.

In the end, the altar and pestle were both smashed to pieces, but the spirit-testing stone only suffered minor skin injuries.

Seeing this, Li Rui simply drew out the magic sword from his waist and killed the dragon.

He used the handle of the knife as a pestle and smashed it down hard.

The spirit-testing stone cracked with a sound.

"As expected, the immortal soldiers are still effective."

Li Rui was delighted and his hands moved faster. In less than a moment, a golden spirit-testing stone was smashed into gold powder.

"Grind it into powder and then take it raw."

Li Rui thought.

No wonder the immortals in the legend like to use gold and stone as medicine. It might be this spiritual stone that has been nurtured.

He raised his head.

Then he swallowed all the gold powder.
