Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 320: Ascension, the Man of Destiny

"A hole is drilled in the purple marrow of the heavenly spirit. Inside is a spiritual liquid stone marrow. Taking it can increase the spiritual roots."

The records of the Spirit Ascension Method emerged in Li Rui’s mind.

present.

He directly drew out the magic sword from his waist and made a small hole in the amethyst jade with great precision. Through the small hole, he could see the stone marrow with a faint purple light.

The refreshing fragrance makes the whole body feel relaxed.

"Good baby!"

Li Rui immediately raised the purple marrow of his head, tilted his head back and swallowed all of it into his stomach.

Then, a clear feeling surged up from Dantian.

Li Rui could clearly feel that his spiritual roots had indeed improved. What surprised him even more was that the immortal energy had gained a little more spirituality.

This trace of spirituality is not simple.

'In ancient times, there were Qi cultivators. Those with low-grade spiritual roots could cultivate Qi, those with medium-grade spiritual roots could use Qi, and those with high-grade spiritual roots could control Qi.'

The difference in spiritual roots is ultimately reflected in the use of spiritual energy.

Not only do high-quality spiritual roots absorb spiritual energy faster, but their use of spiritual energy also far exceeds that of medium-quality and low-quality spiritual roots.

The spiritual energy of this world dissipated.

It was no longer possible to absorb spiritual energy, but the latter advantage still existed.

The immortal energy in Li Rui's body is similar to the spiritual energy in ancient times, so the improvement of his spiritual roots can bring this benefit.

Other warriors do not have this treatment.

Otherwise, the value of the Heavenly Spirit Purple Marrow would have increased countless times, and the entire Tiandi Alliance would not be able to afford it.

Add a touch of spirituality.

The most significant change is that the efficiency of the Qi Hai in flushing away the dirt from the body has increased by more than 10%.

This also means.

He was one step closer to breaking through to the innate level.

An unexpected surprise.

"Is it possible that I can really achieve a breakthrough before I turn eighty-five?"

Even Li Rui was shocked.

This speed is even faster than Jiang Linxian.

Jiang Linxian once told him that she actually broke through to the innate realm at the age of thirty-five, but very few people knew about it.

Do the math.

Jiang Linxian practiced martial arts for thirty years before reaching the innate level, but he only took fifteen years.

Directly halved.

If we compare them by the length of time they have practiced martial arts, even the most talented and brilliant person in the world would pale in comparison to him.

At this time, the advantage of being older comes into play.

At least it's not that shocking.

An eighteen-year-old with congenital disease is terrifying, but an eighty-five-year-old with congenital disease is just normal and nothing unusual.

Perhaps only when you become a hundred-year-old earth immortal will you look a little younger.

Dazzling.

The day has arrived to welcome the princess of the Wu Kingdom.

Just as Nie Siming said, apart from the soldiers of Anning Guard, only Nie Siming and Li Rui from Qinghe City went to the border.

It was a sunny day.

The willow trees beside the official road are swaying in the wind, which is a beautiful sight.

It’s just that the catkins are a bit annoying.

However, the soldiers of An Ning Wei were like iron towers, not distracted by the willow catkins at all, and stood straight.

Only Li Rui casually slapped away the floating willow catkins.

Who told him that he is no longer a soldier, but a general.

Generals often have privileges, such as not having to stick to the rules and being more flexible.

Nie Siming came from the Northwest Army, and he remained unmoved.

Time passes minute by minute.

at last.

A gorgeous and wild convoy appeared before everyone.

It is gorgeous because the chariot is hung with precious jade and jewels, and it is wild because it is pulling an eight-headed monster.

Such an exotic visual impact can only be the convoy of the Wu Kingdom escorting the third princess.

There weren't many people in the convoy, only about thirty or so.

This was the result of discussions between the two countries' envoys, or rather, the consensus reached between the Emperor of Yu and the Ruler of Wu.

Thirty people, not a lot, but not a few either.

According to the rules, these people are the "dowry" of the third princess and should never return to the Wu Kingdom in this life, but live with the third princess in the palace.

The larger the dowry, the more powerful the bride's family is.

Your status in the palace will naturally be higher.

Of course, the third princess does not have these worries, because she is noble enough. Even if she goes to the palace, she probably will not suffer any grievances. Maybe the fourth prince will become a henpecked husband.

"I heard that the third princess is a heroic woman who can kill a big monster alone. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the fourth prince to marry her."

Li Rui thought.

The Wu Kingdom’s convoy came up to Li Rui and Nie Siming.

A pleasant yet heroic voice came from the huge chariot:
"General Nie, thank you for your help."

The person in the carriage was naturally the third princess.

It seemed that he had no intention of getting off the car to see Nie Siming.

Nie Siming didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

She is the prince's consort and has not yet been married. According to the etiquette of the Yu State, unmarried women should not meet men.

Even though Yunzhou's etiquette and laws are not strict, Confucianism is not prosperous.

But there are also ways to avoid suspicion.

Nie Siming clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Third Princess."

Then he waved to the Anning Guards behind him, and the army escorted the convoy towards Qinghe. In the evening.

The convoy entered Qinghe City. The pedestrians on the streets had already been cleared. Except for a few residents living on the street who could see this grand scene, no one else had the pleasure of seeing it. This made the people of Qinghe who loved to watch the excitement quite upset.

At last.

The third princess lived in the Qinghe Villa specially arranged by the county government.

The Wu Kingdom’s convoy will stay in Qinghe for three days.

After the large ship on the canal docks, they will take a boat north. As long as they are out of the territory of Anning Prefecture, what happens afterwards will have nothing to do with Qinghe.

It's that simple.

The preparation is tedious, but it is actually not complicated.

Of course, it is precisely because of sufficient preparation in the early stages that we can ensure that no accidents occur.

Behind this is the months of hard work of thousands of officials in Qinghe.

It was already midnight when Li Rui returned to the military office.

Although Nie Siming specifically asked him to follow Yingzun, it seemed that there was nothing for him to do.

Just when Li Rui was washing and resting.

A soldier from the Benhu Camp walked in and said, "Master Li, there are two women outside the door who want to see you. They claim to be from the Wu Kingdom and their surname is Xia."

Xia is the surname of the Wu Kingdom.

Li Rui had already made some guesses.

When he arrived at the door, he saw the quirky girl Xia Xiaotang as expected.

"Senior, long time no see."

Xia Xiaotang looked at Li Rui with a smile.

Li Rui: "Miss Xiaotang."

During the late night visit, in addition to Xia Xiaotang, there was also a woman dressed as a maid.

Li Rui immediately brought the two girls to the main hall.

He was an eighty-year-old man who had joined the army. He met two women from the Wu Kingdom late at night. No one in An Ning Guard would spread rumors, and of course, no one dared to.

As soon as Xia Xiaotang sat down, she stared at Li Rui curiously:

"Senior, what kind of skills have you learned to conceal your aura?"

She found that she could not sense any aura from Li Rui that had made the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast's soul tremble.

Li Rui did not hide it either.

He practiced the Nine Hidden Heavenly Secrets in order to conceal the true dragon aura. Xia Xiaotang already knew this, so there was no need to hide it any further.

"Yes."

He nodded, and then asked, "Miss Xia, why did you come to Qinghe?"

Xia Xiaotang said with a smile: "My third sister is getting married, and my master asked me to go to the capital of Yu State to see the world."

It seemed as if he had already guessed what Li Rui wanted to ask.

Xia Xiaotang answered in advance:
"I saw you just now, but I was in my third sister's carriage so it was inconvenient for me to see you."

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

Just as he guessed, Xia Xiaotang's identity was not simple. He was the apprentice of the Great Witch. He was no worse than ordinary royal relatives, and it was common for him to ride in the carriage of the third princess of the Witch Kingdom.

Xia Xiaotang turned around and pointed at the maid beside her:
"This is Xiao Cui, Third Sister's personal maid. Today, she has come to tell you what Third Sister has to say."

Li Rui's expression brightened.

The main event has begun.

I think the Great Witch ordered him to accompany him, and Xia Xiaotang's late-night visit was all because of what he was going to say next.

The maid named Xiao Cui said something shocking:

"The Third Princess hopes that Lord Li can follow her into the palace."

"??"

Even Li Rui did not expect this to be the case.

Xiao Cui smiled slightly: "Master Li, don't worry. As long as you become the Third Princess's staff, and the Third Princess becomes the Crown Princess, she can at least help Master Li become a third-rank minister."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

What a big breath.

The third rank is called a big official because officials of the third rank are big figures even in the capital and can attend court.

The third princess wanted to recruit him, and she asked for the position of assistant minister of six ministries at the first sentence. However, this is the Yu Kingdom, not the Wu Kingdom. Even the fourth prince couldn't make anyone an assistant minister.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

And there was no response.

Xiao Cui continued, "Master Li is a person that the Great Witch admires. The Great Witch is good at divination. Master Li is a man of destiny and has great fortune. He will be of great help to the Third Princess."

The man of destiny?

It was the first time that Li Rui heard this statement.

Xia Xiaotang spoke at the right time.

"Senior, the matter of the Soul Pill was discovered by Master, who read the fortune behind my back and found out that you are the man of destiny."

"The so-called destiny person refers to a person who can turn misfortune into fortune and rise to the top. Staying with a destiny person can also bring good fortune."

"That's why the master recommended you to my third sister."

Li Rui suddenly realized.

As the third best wizard in the world and the best wizard in southern Xinjiang, it is normal for the Great Wizard to have some mysterious methods.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Great Wizard should have no hostility towards him, otherwise, with the Great Wizard's magical powers, he would have taken direct action long ago, so why would he have to beat around the bush?

If the Great Witch also takes action, then the position of the third-rank assistant minister is not just nonsense. Moreover, as far as he knows, the third princess is a very capable person in the Witch Kingdom.

As long as Li Rui nods, the ultimate goal can be achieved in one step.

It's really tempting.

Xiao Cui stared at Li Rui and said calmly, "I hope Lord Li will give the Third Princess a reply within three days."

After saying that, she prepared to take Xia Xiaotang away.

Just as the two girls were about to turn around, Li Rui slowly spoke:
"Third Princess, I am not old and my eyesight is not good yet, so you may as well speak frankly."

The maid Xiao Cui paused and turned to look at Li Rui:

"The Great Wizard was right about you, Lord Li. You are indeed very interesting."
