Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 378: Innate Greatness
In front of the majestic border covered with moss.

The camel cow had disappeared, and several carriages were parked under the city wall.

"It is a blessing for me, Qin, to be able to accompany you all for a few days. Please come often in the future."

Minister Wang laughed and said:
"Master Qin, you are too polite. We will say goodbye now."

"See you later."

Qin Huo waved his hand with a smile, and when he glanced at everyone, he deliberately stayed on Li Rui for a while and nodded slightly.

Li Rui certainly understood what Qin Huo meant.

Qin Huo wanted him to pass the message to He Qiannian.

He Qiannian is the Mountain Guardian, and his level is equal to Qin Huo. As for what happens next, it is not something that a Mountain Guardian like him can decide.

Even He Qiannian couldn't figure it out, it was just reported one level at a time.

The only ones who can really make the decision are the Holy Emperor and a few others.

Li Rui also nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Seeing this scene, Qin Huo laughed and clasped his fists: "I've sent you a thousand miles away, but we will have to say goodbye. I wish you a safe journey, everyone."

The carriage creaked as it crushed the gravel on the ground.

The Yu State delegation passed through the border.

The surrounding mountains are no longer steep and the roads have become wider and flatter.

Only then did Minister Wang feel relieved.

To be honest, dealing with a person like Qin Huo is really not easy.

at this time.

Minister Wang did not take a carriage as before, but rode a horse side by side with Li Rui and others.

He looked at Li Rui standing beside him:

"Master Li, you seem to have a good relationship with Master Qin."

Li Rui: "It's just official business."

Hear this.

Minister Wang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He thought that when he was leaving the city, Commander Yang of the Secret Guard had come to him and insisted on forcing Li Rui into the delegation.

At the beginning.

He thought that Commander Yang didn't trust him and that Li Rui was a secret agent sent by him.

But now it seems to be more complicated than he imagined.

He thought about what the secret guard was really going to do.

I quickly called him haha.

"Master Li, please don't think too much. I just think that Master Li is quite capable of handling affairs. It's a pity that you have been picked by General Xue. Otherwise, I would have picked you to the Ministry of Rites no matter what."

Listening to Minister Wang's words, the officials from the Honglu Temple looked at Li Rui with envy.

If Li Rui was an official of the Ministry of Rites.

Just based on this sentence, he is worthy of a fourth-rank official.

Of course, this is no longer necessary for Li Rui now.

The road after that was smooth.

In just two days, they arrived at Qinghe City.

Upon receiving the news, General Xue set up a banquet at the reception pavilion outside the city to welcome Minister Wang and his entourage.

In no mood.

But he was rejected by Minister Wang.

He said that he had important matters to attend to and had to return to the capital to report, for fear that the Holy Emperor would blame him.

General Xue thought that it was his subordinates' poor performance that angered Minister Wang.

But when he heard Minister Wang praising Li Rui, Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong who were accompanying them, especially Li Rui, he almost praised him to the sky.

Only then did General Xue feel relieved.

A team of soldiers was sent to escort Minister Wang to the canal ferry.

After watching the people from the Ministry of Rites leave, General Xue looked at Li Rui and the other two with satisfaction: "Well done."

Then he looked at Li Rui carefully:

"It is a great achievement to promote the prestige of our country. Just wait for your reward, boy."

Just now, Minister Wang praised Li Rui's heroic feat in great detail, and Xue Gui felt very happy to hear it.

"I'll give you ten days off, go and have a good rest."

Xue Gui laughed and turned away.

Li Rui and the other two looked at each other.

A knowing smile.

Qianzuru Martial Arts School, backyard.

"Hey, you're finally back."

He Qiannian was lying on a deck chair, looking at Li Rui who walked into the yard with a leisurely look on his face.

Now Li Rui is considered half a member of Qianhe Martial Arts School. He is familiar with all the disciples at the door and doesn't even need Xiao Yu to lead the way to enter He Qiannian's courtyard.

"Senior, I brought you some specialties from the Wu Kingdom."

talking.

He took out the letter Qin Huo gave him from his arms.

See the letter.

He Qiannian narrowed his eyes slightly and sat up straight.

Li Rui: "Qin Huo is a member of the Wu Kingdom Shadow Guard. He asked me to give this letter to you, senior. He probably hopes to cooperate with the Shadow Guard."

"Also, ten days ago, there was a fire in the Chunfeng Hall in the Wu Court, and Feng Jing died."

"According to what Qin Huo said, it should be a banished immortal who took action."

Just a few words, so concise and to the point.

Feng Jing came from him.

He Qiannian of course understood that it was to lurk in the Wu Court to gather information.

He was actually killed by a banished immortal.

He Qiannian's face turned cold. He took the envelope from Li Rui's hand and opened it immediately.

The content of the letter was not much different from what Li Rui had said, except that the details were richer. This was Qin Huo's gesture of goodwill.

Cranes have lived for thousands of years without any taboo.

Thaksin casually handed the letter to Li Rui: "Take a look at it, it might be useful."

Li Rui took the letter and read it very carefully, memorizing every word.

He Qiannian sighed and rubbed his brows: "I should not have accepted this job as a secret guard. I really have to worry about it."

"Okay, you don't need to worry about what happens next, just practice hard."

"Did your martial arts skills fall behind during the few days you were in Wu Country?"

Li Rui: "I got some benefits, which is not bad."

He Qiannian was immediately happy.

What Li Rui calls "good" usually means a great fortune.

"very good."

He Qiannian's mouth corners slightly raised.

This anonymous disciple of his is truly reassuring when it comes to practicing martial arts.

"Minister Wang has returned to the capital and reported everything about the Wu Kingdom to His Majesty. His Majesty was overjoyed and ordered the three towns of Annan, Huaidong, and Jiannan to attack the Eastern Wu Kingdom and restore peace to the world."

"Admiral Zhou even went to the border for a special inspection a few days ago."

Nie Siming told the news he had received.

Li Rui looked at the blue sky and said, "The war is about to begin."

People may think that the crusade against Dongwu was for the Tancheng Alliance which almost ceased to exist a thousand years ago.

Only a few people like Li Rui understood it.

The Holy Emperor clearly wanted to take action in advance to suppress the immortal rebellion.

But Li Rui was not at all flustered.

War is not what people imagine it to be, with tens of thousands of people killed or injured, or hundreds of thousands of people buried alive.

That usually only happens at the end of a war.

The actual situation is.

The initial preparation and testing alone is a huge project.

It can be as short as a few months or as long as several years.

Moreover, Li Rui understood that the attack on Dongwu by the State of Yu was fake, and the real purpose was to suppress the Zijin Palace.

Of course the Wu Kingdom also knew about this, but in the Wu Kingdom's view, as long as the Yu Kingdom could help contain the Zijin Palace, it would be enough.

Therefore, you probably won't have the chance to see scenes where hundreds of thousands of troops are charging into battle.

Nie Siming chuckled:
"Brother Li, you better hurry up. My eighth brother and I have already felt that we may be able to enter the realm of Tongxuan in a few years."

Li Rui was not surprised at all.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong already had excellent physiques, and with the guidance of Lord Yuan, it was normal for them to break through quickly.

And now he is in his early fifties.

In the ordinary world, they can be considered grandfathers.

Breaking through in the Jiazi year is not the best among the best group of geniuses, especially with Jiang Linxian, a third-grade genius in his early forties, ahead of him.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong even felt it was too slow.

Li Rui smiled slightly:
"How can I compare to you two brothers? It is enough for me to reach the upper third level in my lifetime."

Nie Siming curled his lips.

He knew Li Rui's talent very well.

Maybe I'll give them a big surprise without telling them.

Half a year passed afterwards.

Li Rui spent most of his time practicing in the deputy general's mansion.

The effect of Emperor Tinggu's cleansing of the mind continued to manifest, and his progress in training his mind was advancing by leaps and bounds.

There are now signs of great success.

at this time.

Li Rui was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed.

The mysterious immortal energy around his body is wrapped in three-colored energy.

Blue, green and red correspond to the mysterious water energy, green wood energy and fiery flame energy respectively.

Not bad.

He has already mastered three of the Five Spirits Body Refining Techniques.

The mysterious immortal energy controls the three energies, constantly stripping away distracting thoughts in the mind, until it becomes clear.

There is a saying in the underworld of Yu State that people have thousands of thoughts.

What this means is that everyone has hundreds of thoughts at every moment, but because the soul unifies them, they cannot be detected on a normal day.

But this process is constantly consuming the soul.

The innate mind training is to focus the mind and achieve true concentration.

Once one has mastered the art of mind training, the speed at which one can improve in martial arts will be far greater than before.

After all, I was doing two things at the same time before, but now it has become just one, so of course it’s faster.

"Calm your mind and get rid of all illusions. All right and wrong are empty, and you will find the true yang."

Li Ruifu came to his heart and suddenly felt something.

next moment.

The true energy in his body surges, and colorful divine aura flashes.

Just a thought.

The mysterious energy of immortality will circulate throughout the body's major meridians, completing a complete circulation!

At this time, Li Rui's control over true qi reached a new level.

Another thought.

The mysterious immortal energy actually transformed into three thousand black hairs, each of which seemed to have life, constantly moving around, and finally filling the entire room.

In an instant, Li Rui seemed to be in fairyland.

His eyes shot open.

'Innate great success!'
