Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 370 Flame Body

"Grandmaster, Qi Tong has not returned yet. We have sent people to look for him, but we can't find any trace of him."

Inside the Purple Gold Palace.

Zhu Yun said.

The Blood Shadow Ancestor narrowed his eyes.

That day, a wave of monsters suddenly appeared in the Shiwan Mountains. That was all, and Qi Tong also disappeared that day.

Several days of searching yielded no results.

"Got it. What does the Palace Master say?"

Zhu Yun: "The Palace Master said to find another one."

The Blood Shadow Ancestor nodded: "Okay, you go down first."

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

Zhu Yun bowed deeply before turning and leaving, a hint of bitterness on the corner of his mouth.

Immortal Taoist disciple?

It's just that she and Qi Tong are self-righteous.

Ever since the day she told Palace Master Qi Tong that he might be dead, Si Feng had not shown even the slightest emotion on his face.

Obviously.

In Si Feng's opinion, she and Qi Tong looked at their servants in the same way as the masters of wealthy families.

If you die, you will die.

"another."

Si Feng's light words kept echoing in Zhu Yun's mind.

The reason why the Blood Shadow Patriarch wanted to investigate the murderer was not because Qi Tong had any noble status, but because he did not want to tarnish the reputation of the Palace Master.

Qi Tong’s death made Zhu Yun more cautious.

Everything she has gained now may be lost if she is not careful.

"The demonic tide that day should have been caused by Qi Tong."

"Did he really go to look for that Yu countryman named Li Rui?"

"No, that person has just entered the Xiantian realm. How can he be a match for Qi Tong who has practiced immortal arts and possessed magical instruments? But if it's not him, then who could it be?"

Zhu Yun did not tell Si Feng and Blood Shadow Patriarch about Li Rui's affairs at the first time.

Because she is afraid.

She was afraid of Si Feng's indifference that transcended everything.

If Qi Tong comes back after she finishes talking, it might be very disadvantageous to her.

If Qi Tong turned against her and made the Palace Master think that she was the one who harmed her fellow disciples out of jealousy, given the Palace Master's cold temper, she would surely die.

She had nothing to do with Qi Tong.

It didn’t matter to her whether Qi Tong was dead or alive, and revenge was even more unimportant.

Protecting yourself is the most important thing.

'Just pretend you haven't heard it.'

"Last time we trained, we came in second to last. I was so embarrassed that I trained as hard as I could!"

Ning Zhongtian inspected the training ground and shouted loudly, although he did not mean to be too critical.

Last training session.

An Ningwei came in second to last.

The results are very good.

After all, four of the Eight Guards of Qinghe are the personal guards of General Xue of Annan Town. They are the elite among the elites and their manpower is not at the same level.

The other three guards were the elite troops from Jiannan and Huaidong towns, plus the general brought by Zhou Dinghai who led the troops personally. It was certainly a happy event that Anning Guard came in second to last.

But the countdown is the countdown after all, and Ning Zhongtian still has to reprimand her openly for this.

"Ning joins the army, good morning."

Cao Wei came up to Ning Zhongtian with a smile.

"Lord Cao."

Ning Zhongtian clasped his fists, but it was no longer a salute from a subordinate to his superior.

Not bad.

He has made a breakthrough and, under Li Rui's operation, has become a new recruit of An Ning Wei.

Although the imperial edict of appointment has not yet come down, it is already a foregone conclusion.

"I followed the right person."

Cao Wei felt emotional as he looked at Ning Zhongtian, who was full of vigor and vitality.

Ning Zhongtian is just a rustic guy.

First, he was appreciated by Lei Yong, which allowed him to enter the military camp and escape from the underworld. Later, he met Li Rui, who recognized him as his elder brother. Look, now people can treat him as an equal. Cao Wei concluded that it was just good luck and he followed the right person.

Following the right person doesn’t just mean that person is strong enough, it’s also more important that he or she is willing to support you.

Just like him, although he was relying on the fifth prince as his supporter.

But the Fifth Prince has too many subordinates, so many that in the end it all depends on personal ability.

It is impossible to help as wholeheartedly as Li Rui did.

While the two were talking.

A heavy black carriage appeared in An Ningwei.

The two saw Li Rui slowly walking down from the carriage.

"Brother is much more impressive now than before."

Ning Zhongtian praised.

Since becoming a deputy general, Li Rui no longer relies on walking to go out as before, but almost always rides in a horse-drawn carriage.

"This is the demeanor of a master."

Ning Zhongtian grinned and walked forward with Cao Wei.

"General."
Li Rui smiled and nodded: "Master Ning, Master Cao, are you training?"

"Ah."

Ning Zhongtian nodded.

Now that there are a lot of people watching, of course I have to mention my position.

After all, whether it was Anning Guard or Annan Town, they were all troops of the imperial court, and these officers were only temporary commanders. Calling each other brothers in the barracks would only cause criticism.

You can say it in private, but not in public.

Of course no one will say anything when you are at the peak of your career, but if you fall into trouble, your opponents may use this as an excuse to make trouble for you.

Li Rui looked at the vigorous soldiers:
"Yes, very energetic."

"Let's go inside and talk."

Ning Zhongtian and Cao Wei brought Li Rui to the general's mansion.

Li Rui naturally sat in the main seat.

The three of them sat down.

Qianqian took a sip of tea and then spoke: "Fourth brother, Brother Cao, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has observed the unusual phenomenon of three stars in a row. His Majesty has made up his mind to launch a military operation against Dongwu. We need to be prepared."

Hear the words.

Ning Zhongtian and Cao Wei both looked solemn.

Every time the State of Yu launched a major military campaign, it would begin with observations by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. The conjunction of three stars indicated that a war was about to begin.

It seems that the Holy Emperor has made up his mind to attack Dong Wu.

Thinking about the recent military training, they all brightened up.

This is not a military training, it's clearly a pre-war exercise.

Li Rui put down the teacup calmly.

Three stars in a row?

There is a saying that the emperor's heart is the heart of heaven. No matter what the celestial phenomena are, the final right of interpretation lies in the hands of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.

These are just excuses.

In his opinion, it was clear that the Holy Emperor wanted to take action.

In order to have a legitimate reason, I came up with this idea.

It's just a tactic commonly used by emperors.

Back in the time of Emperor Taizu, an official from the Imperial Observatory calculated a result that was inconsistent with Emperor Taizu's wishes. Emperor Taizu wanted the country to recuperate, but he calculated that Mars was guarding the heart.

Taizu was so angry that he almost killed the deputy supervisor.

In the end, it was the imperial teacher of that generation who stepped forward to calm Emperor Taizu down.

He heard the above from Yao Xue.

Internal information from the Imperial Observatory, guaranteed authentic.

Li Rui guessed that it was probably the banished immortal from the Purple Gold Palace who wanted to support Dong Wu, and there would be a new country ruled by the banished immortal in the world.

The Holy Emperor suffered greatly from the disaster of immortals in his early years, so of course he would not watch such a thing happen.

Going to war is inevitable.

"Alright, you guys continue to train. I'm just telling you in advance so you can be mentally prepared. This matter has not been decided yet, so don't spread it to anyone else."

"Yes."

Ning Zhongtian and Cao Wei nodded solemnly.

Li Rui finished his instructions.

Then he stayed in the general's mansion and had a drink with the military officers and lieutenant generals of An Ning Guard before returning to his own mansion.

Just returned to the mansion.

A pretty little maid came up.

"Master, the warm water is ready."

Li Rui was helped to undress.

After washing up, I started another day of practice.

Thoughts together.

The scarlet true energy slowly wrapped around his body. Although it was a gas, it gave people a feeling as hot as a raging fire. The green wood energy seemed to add fuel to the red flames.

The burning of the scorching true qi caused the space to distort.

The flaming body is completed!
Wood makes fire.

After Li Rui had mastered the Qingmu Qi, he continued to practice the Lieyan Body.

That day, the man from the Purple Gold Palace was also practicing the Fiery Body.

But it's just an introduction at most.

He is far inferior to the current Li Rui.

Li Rui originally had middle-grade spiritual roots. After improving his spiritual roots with the six methods of spiritual improvement, the quality of his top-grade spiritual roots was much better than that of ordinary top-grade spiritual roots.

This difference is clearly reflected in the speed of practicing immortal techniques.

In his eyes, Qi Tong's flaming body was no different from a small flame.

Just when Li Rui was practicing.

Suddenly, I felt something in my heart.

"This cultivation method is actually very beneficial to the training of the mind?"

This discovery surprised him greatly.

There are three levels of innateness: training the body, training the mind, and training the spirit.

Physical training, as the name suggests, is of course to use true Qi to cleanse the body in order to achieve the innate state of the physical body.

Entered the practice of mind.

Training the mind does not mean training the heart specifically, but training the five internal organs.

In order to achieve the state of nourishing the spirit.

The five elements of the Five Spirits Body Refining Technique correspond to the five internal organs of the human body, which is similar to the practice of training the five internal organs with innate true qi. With the combination of the two, the speed of practice is greatly increased.

The joy of accident!

If I continue at this pace, perhaps in a few years, I will be able to pass the stage of innate heart training.

'Old Li, I am really a genius in cultivating immortality!'

In the blink of an eye, it is summer again.

Qinghe is a peaceful place.

The pedestrians on the street were not affected by the tense atmosphere in Annan Town at all.

On the second floor of Zuixianlou, the private rooms facing the street offer a good view of the bustling crowds on the street.

"Your Majesty is truly magnanimous. He strikes as soon as he says so."

Lin Lang took small sips of the cool, chilled plum wine.

It has a special feeling in this hot summer.

Li Rui was sitting opposite him.

He tilted his head and looked out the window.

He chatted with her from time to time: "Brother Lin, the location of our Chunfeng Hall is really good."

Here, you can just see a corner of Chunfeng Hall.

"Yes, I specially consulted a master, and the feng shui is excellent."

Li Rui was speechless.

As far as he knew, masters who often said that donors had a black forehead and would have a bloody disaster would not be able to do business for long, and they usually said good things.

After all, the master was also worried that Lin Lang would be unhappy and would directly ask the masters of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce to throw him into Qinghe River to feed the fish.

"Have Xiao Liu and Niece Lin already set off?"

"Well, I just left yesterday. I have some connections in Jiangzhou, so I'll be fine."

Lin Lang said.

Li Rui just nodded.

Now that Chunfengtang’s business is growing bigger and bigger, Yunzhou is no longer satisfied.

Liu Tong told him a few days ago that he wanted to visit Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is located in the southern part of the Yangtze River. If any chamber of commerce can gain a foothold there, it would be considered a major player.

Ever since the Chamber of Commerce was established.

Li Rui really didn't worry about the elixir.

Of course, snacks are needed.

Lin Lang suddenly thought of something:
"Lord Li, have you heard that His Majesty intends to send an envoy to the Wu Kingdom?"
