Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 304 Strength in numbers
In the secret room.

Li Rui sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his expression unchanged. There was a faint golden light fluttering in the dantian area in his lower abdomen, and purple smoke was floating, with a fairy-like aura in the air.

boo~
I seemed to hear the sound of bubbles bursting.

Spiritual roots improved!

Li Rui slowly opened his eyes.

Full of joy.

This is a very mysterious feeling, as if one has become closer to the world. Although it is illusory, one can truly feel it, and it is of great benefit to practicing qigong.

At the moment when the spiritual roots are elevated.

The Qi sea in the body also expanded by more than 30%.

Look inside the Dantian.

Now we are not far from the place where we can watch the bright moon rising from the sea.

According to a rough estimate, it will take two to three years at most for Li Rui to ascend to the bright moon and then achieve the innate state!
'It's less than three to five years away from breaking through the Guanhai level, but it's already within sight.'

Even Li Rui himself felt it was a bit too fast.

Perhaps this is the daily life of a genius.

Looking at Yunzhou.

This really proves what Jiang Linxian said, that in Yunzhou, there are only Li Rui and I who are good at martial arts.

Judging from the current speed of improvement, only Jiang Linxian can compare with Li Rui, while the others are one level lower.

Li Rui felt a surge of heat in his heart.

Originally, he improved his spiritual roots just for a vague idea. After all, the system said that there were immortals, and maybe he could really embark on the path to immortality in the future, so of course he had to prepare in advance.

But I didn’t expect that improving spiritual roots would be beneficial to the immortal energy.

I suddenly became energetic.

It's a pity that the method of using spirit stones to improve spiritual roots is just a coincidence. The difficulty is not finding the spirit stones, but the spiritual energy.

It was just a coincidence.

If Li Rui did not have the immortal energy, this item would become the most difficult one.

But the other eight items recorded in the Book of All Spirits are not so simple.

Just name one.

The fourth method.

Bathe in the eternal spring energy and practice the qi-moving formula in the Book of All Spirits for a quarter of an hour.

Not to mention that the Qigong formula is obscure and difficult to understand, even Li Rui's comprehension is not enough to fully understand it in a short time.

What kind of existence is the eternal spring energy?

Just one strand of it can become a sect's most precious treasure. A few years ago, the prefect of Haizhou obtained a strand and presented it to the emperor, who was very pleased.

Bathing in the eternal spring air is simply a fantasy.

That’s it, it’s already the simplest one.

Several other items are even more exaggerated.

Li Rui waited until the Qi sea in his Dantian was stable before he walked out of the secret room.

Looking at the morning light outside the window.

Before I knew it, another night had passed.

Fortunately, Li Rui is now a sea-watching warrior, so not sleeping for a night has almost no impact on him.

"Master, you're awake."

As soon as you go out.

Then I saw Wang Zhao grinning to himself.

So festive.

Of course Li Rui would not tell his disciple that he had not slept at all and had stayed up all night.

Although it can’t be considered as endurance, after all, the feeling of spiritual roots improving is actually quite comfortable.

"Ok?"

"Xiao Zhao, you have made further progress."

Only after spending every day with Wang Zhao could he see at a glance that his disciple had actually reached the level of golden bones and was not far from the level of willow tendons.

That's not a bad speed.

Although he is still a little inferior to his master, he is not bad compared to those geniuses out there.

Moreover, Wang Zhao is already the one with the lowest level among his three disciples.

Liang He and Liu Tiezhu were already seventh-rank warriors.

Of course, Wang Zhao’s path is different, so it cannot be calculated simply based on his realm.

"Master is mighty, you can tell at a glance."

Li Rui was amused: "There's something wrong with the atmosphere in this room. How come everyone has become a flatterer? Even Xiaozhao has been infected."

At this time.

Yang Yong also came over and said, "It's the same thing as the top beam being crooked. Look at Xiaozhao, Xiaohe, and Tiezhu. They are such good kids. They were all very honest at the beginning, but now they are all slick and glib."

Li Rui was speechless.

It is irrefutable and seems to be true.

He coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Zhao, I have asked someone from the Wu Kingdom to send the test method for the demon master. We will know when the time comes."

Wang Zhao's eyes lit up:
"Demon Tamer."

Although he is still working as a groom, his vision has far surpassed that of his past.

Of course I know how powerful the demon tamer is.

The Demon Tamer has a high status in the Witch Kingdom and is very powerful. Not to mention the distant past, just a few years ago, a Demon Tamer controlled monsters to cause a demon tide that razed an entire city to the ground.

Not yet vigorous.

Although he had no intention of massacring the city, which young man didn't want to be a hero?

Li Rui saw that his chicken blood pumping was very successful.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

In fact, there was no need for any test, he knew that Wang Zhao could definitely become a demon tamer.

Without him.

Because his master had an immortal form and also opened the gate to the West.

Just so confident.

The reason why he said it now is because the Demon Tamer's cultivation method is so precious. It was not until a few days ago that Dao Mo found some scattered Demon Tamer inheritances for him.

Li Rui is not a person who likes to make empty promises.

When he said it, it was almost certain.

If what he expected was correct, the demon tamer's skills had already been sent to Qinghe along with the Tiandi Alliance's caravan.

"Call Tiezhu over, it's time to eat."

While the four of them were having dinner——

Liang He rushed in with an anxious look on his face.

"Master, something happened."

Li Rui paused with the wooden spoon in his hand and frowned: "What happened?"

"We just received news that the caravan was attacked by a beast tide. Alliance Leader Ning and Alliance Leader Huang were both separated by the monsters. There has been no news since then."

Li Rui put down the bowl and stood up:
"understood."

During this period, the caravan was often attacked by monsters, so at Yan Zhongxing's request, he asked Ning Zhongtian to lead a hundred battalions of soldiers to patrol the official road.

Now both of them are in trouble.

Seeing that Liang He was also going to follow, he waved his hand and said, "You can stay in the city."

Then, as he walked, he said to Tan Hu, who was yawning at the door, "Let's go, Huzi, get out of the city."

Hearing Li Rui's words.

Tan Hu suddenly became energized, and called on several members of the Benhu Cavalry to mount their horses and follow Li Rui out of the city.

In the mountains and forests.
The sound of clothes rubbing against leaves was heard, and two figures quickly shuttled through the thorny jungle.

"Fourth brother, you run first, I'll cover you!"

"Bullshit, let's go together!"

Ning Zhongtian cursed when he saw Huang Chui slowing down.

Huang Chui's face was a little pale, and there was a huge bloody hole on his waist and abdomen, and it was obvious that he was at the end of his strength.

He was about to speak.

Suddenly his face changed.

Just in front of them, a strong man blocked their way:
"That's it for now"

at the same time.

The two figures behind them also stopped and looked at them with ill intentions.

Ning Zhongtian's face was extremely ugly, and he glanced at the two people behind him.

Originally, he led a hundred soldiers of An Ning Guard to escort the caravan of Tian Di Alliance, but he did not expect to encounter a tide of monsters. If it was just a tide of monsters, he would not be afraid, but he found that there were actually two powerful men in Guan Hai Realm lurking in secret.

So without thinking, he took his second brother Huang Chui and fled into the mountains.

But one of them is at the sixth rank and the other is at the seventh rank, how can they be a match for two fifth rank warriors.

While escaping, Huang Chui was hit by a hidden weapon.

Now we are surrounded.

From the attitudes of the two people behind him, it is not difficult to see that the middle-aged man standing in front of them is the strongest among the three.

It might even be innate!
Ning Zhongtian's heart felt like it had fallen into an icy cave.

Two Guanhai and one Xiantian actually planned to deal with him, a sixth-grade cultivator. How could they have the courage and ability to do that?

But he quickly calmed down.

Anyone who could climb from a peasant to the garrison commander of An Ning Guard could certainly not be an ordinary person.

"Those two are Guanhai warriors. If they wanted to kill my brother and me, they could have used hidden weapons long ago. But they just didn't want to do it. They probably wanted to capture us alive."

"Since they captured him alive, they must have some ulterior motive, or they wanted to threaten someone with our lives."

‘Brother! ’

His pupils shrank suddenly.

Figure out the whole thing in an instant.

Although he didn't understand what the grudge between Li Rui and the three people in front of him was, if Li Rui came, he would definitely die.

No matter how good you are at fighting, can you defeat three warriors of the same level?
The scarred man behind him grinned and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you now. Wait until your eldest brother comes and reunites you three brothers. Then you won't be alone on the road to the underworld."

Ning Zhongtian narrowed his eyes slightly.

really!

He spoke slowly, "I think you are mistaken about one thing. My eldest brother has always been cold-blooded. Your trick will be useless. We are all men of the martial arts world. You can kill him casually. There is no need to hesitate."

"Yo ho."

Ma Lie, with a scar on his face, grinned, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the knife and was ready to take action.

But then Ke Qi slowly spoke:
"You are a real man, thinking of angering my brother and then seeking death, so that your eldest brother won't have to die."

"Justice."

"I admire you very much. If you follow me, I can guarantee you a fifth-rank official position."

Ning Zhongtian's thoughts were exposed, but his expression did not change much: "The Three Wind and Sand Wolves?"

Hearing Ning Zhongtian mention the names of the three people, Ke Qi found it even more interesting: "Do you recognize the three of us?"

"They speak with the northwestern accent of Yu, wear the clothes of Wu, and they are all from Guanhai Realm. There shouldn't be many people like them."

Ke Qi was happy:

"You're quite smart."

of course.

He was interested in Ning Zhongtian, but if Ning Zhongtian really surrendered to him, he would kill Ning Zhongtian without hesitation.

What I hate most in my life is people who are treacherous.

So no matter what Ning Zhongtian says today, he will die in the end.

Since I have to wait for Li Rui anyway, I might as well just sit there doing nothing. It wouldn't hurt to chat with such an interesting guy in the world.

But just when Ke Qi was about to continue speaking.

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

Seeing that person appear, Ning Zhongtian's expression changed: "Brother, let's go!"

Just saw someone coming.

It was Li Rui.

Li Rui first looked at Ning Zhongtian and Huang Chui, and then turned to look at Ke Qi. As for the other two, he didn't even look at them.

"Ke Qi, you are very courageous. Do you really think you are capable enough to get away with it despite the bounty offered by the imperial court?"

Ke Qi raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Master Li, you don't have to scare us. If the imperial court really had that ability, we would have died long ago."

Li Rui smiled and shook his head:

"You know nothing."

After being scolded like this, Ma Lie suddenly became furious.

But Li Rui continued, "You are still alive now, thanks to Lord Yuan. It was Lord Yuan who spoke for you, otherwise the grass on your grave would be three feet high now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Ke Qi and the other two changed.

The third brother even yelled, "You are talking nonsense, it's obvious that you are talking nonsense!"

Li Rui smiled faintly and looked at Ke Qi: "Now you have two choices, either leave and I will pretend that nothing happened. Or wait for the reward from the Marquis and your body will be hung on the city wall in a few days."

Ke Qi narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Rui.

There was a struggle in his eyes.

Then he heard He Yang's voice: "Brother, what are you still hesitating about? Now that things have come to this, let's kill these three people, then go to Boulder City to claim the reward and live a good life. Haven't you had enough of this life of a stray dog?"

Ke Qi's eyes became sharp in an instant.

Correct!
At this point, they have no way out.

No matter what happened before, the three brothers were now wandering ghosts. He didn't want to live this kind of life anymore. If he wanted to live a comfortable life, he had to exchange the head of the man in front of him.

"Go to hell!"

Ke Qi suddenly jumped up and slapped Li Rui with one palm, showing all his innate power.

Suddenly, the wind blew violently, rustling the leaves around.

Li Rui reacted very quickly and swung the sword and scabbard at Ke Qi.

The sword and palm collided in the air.

Ke Qi's palm was interrupted, and Li Rui took several steps back, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Li Rui grinned:

"I was wondering how dare you three do this. It turns out you have entered the Xiantian realm. Very good."

Ke Qi walked towards Li Rui with an expressionless face:
"Since you know, then just give yourself up to me. I can make your death more pleasant."

Li Rui smiled and said, "Do you know the difference between the army and the gangsters?"

Ke Qi had no interest in listening and had already drawn the long sword from his waist, ready to chop.

Li Rui had a knife on his head, but he still smiled and continued, "We have strength in numbers."

Strength in numbers?

Ke Qi frowned slightly.

As soon as Li Rui finished speaking, flames broke out all around, illuminating the entire mountain red.

A majestic voice like a tiger's roar sounded:

"I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs."
