Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 381 Five Spiritual Bodies (Two in one, two updates, please give me a monthly ticket!!)
The east wing of the courtyard.

Yellow energy was rising from Li Rui's body, becoming thicker and thicker until it enveloped him completely.

bark.
The whole person seemed to fall into a lake, and suddenly descended and disappeared on the ground.

next moment.

Li Rui came to the underground.

At this moment, he was like a swimming fish, moving freely among the rocks and soil.

This is the wonderful use of thick soil.

After practicing for a long time, Li Rui gradually discovered that in terms of killing power, the Five Spirits Body Refining Immortal Technique may not be more powerful than martial arts, but in terms of other effects, it is much more powerful than martial arts.

For example, this thick earth body, after being trained, has the ability to burrow into the earth.

It saved him the trouble of digging the soil.

Li Rui has tried it several times and has become proficient in it.

Wandering all the way.

Find a suitable location for the secret room.

As he searched—

Suddenly I felt something in my heart.

"Well?"

A strange feeling rose in his heart, as if something below was attracting him.

Li Rui groaned.

Then he slowed down and swam cautiously in one direction.

Not long after.

The surrounding rocks and soil suddenly disappeared, and with a thud, they fell down and arrived at a secret passage.

Although there was no light at all, there were some faint green lights in the dark passage, so it didn't feel dark at all.

"Is it the Night Pearl?"

Li Rui was shocked.

I saw that on the wall of the secret passage, there was a luminous pearl every ten feet.

Night-shining pearls are rare treasures and are extremely valuable. Inlaying so many of them is truly a huge investment.

Li Rui stood still.

Looking at the dark green tunnel, I wonder where it leads to.

And what attracted him seemed to be at the end of the secret passage.

However, Li Rui did not walk in that direction immediately, but walked in the opposite direction first.

After just a moment, he saw something made of stones that looked like an altar, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

Seeing this thing, Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

"The Immortal's residence?"

He remembered the files in Wenxian Tower.

The hidden sects in the world have been searching for immortals for thousands of years, and of course they have gained something.

For example, the immortal’s mansion.

After the disappearance of the ancient fairyland, many immortal relics remained in the Red Land of China, most of which were immortal palaces.

Those great immortal sects were completely destroyed tens of millions of years ago when the Dao was lost.

Most of what can be found in later generations are the scattered caves of monks.

The secret passage in front of me is almost the same as the cave recorded in the file.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

This kind of cave is almost harmless. After all, it has existed for tens of millions of years, and any means of protecting the house have all disappeared in the long river of time.

Not to mention that he is a congenital warrior, even ordinary people can enter.

There have been rumors before about mortals who accidentally entered immortal ruins and gained great fortune.

Li Rui's heart moved.

Then he walked in another direction.

A quarter of an hour later.

He came to a secret room which was no more than three meters in radius. Almost everything in the room had decayed, and only traces of a bed and a wooden cabinet could be barely seen.

Li Rui searched through it.

really.

Got nothing.

Not all ancient cultivators were powerful. The immortal treasures that could be passed down for thousands of years were top-notch divine objects even in the ancient fairyland era.

This kind of immortal cave that yields nothing is actually the norm for those who seek immortals in hidden sects.

Otherwise, if it were really so easy to find the immortal treasures, why would those powerful hidden sect masters go into the mountains for years like ascetic monks?

It is even more unlikely that even the traces of immortals have almost become legends.

Li Rui was not discouraged by this.

Although there is no treasure here, it is a perfect hiding place.

It is dozens of feet above the ground.

I'm afraid even the immortals on land may not be able to find him, so it's very safe.

It also saves the trouble of development.

Li Rui looked at the ready-made cave and nodded with satisfaction.

But just when he was about to take a rest in the cave——

The three spiritual energies in the body suddenly became restless.

Li Rui frowned slightly, then closed his eyes and thought.

About an incense stick of time passed.

He opened his eyes again, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

'The concentration of spiritual energy here is much higher than on the ground!'

This discovery greatly surprised Li Rui.

He couldn't help but think of the legend of the paradise.

'In ancient times, there were blessed caves. One day of cultivation in the blessed caves was equivalent to one year in the outside world. Wherever there were blessed caves, there were often immortal sects. Ordinary cultivators could only join the immortal sects to enjoy the benefits.'

simply put.

The distribution of spiritual energy is uneven, with more in some places and less in others.

Places with many caves are called blessed places.

Although this cave is far from being as exaggerated as the legendary paradise, the effect of practicing the Five Spirits Body Refining Technique here is more than three times that of practicing on the ground.

Those who practice Taoism often talk about wealth, friends, Dharma and land.

The word "earth" refers to a place with rich spiritual energy.

This discovery made Li Rui very happy.

"Good place."

Half an hour later.

Li Rui appeared in the room of Pojun Fort again.

Get out of the yard.

Then he saw Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong already waiting in the training ground in the city.

Li Rui quickened his pace: "Sorry for keeping you two waiting."

Nie Siming smiled and waved his hand: "This city is newly built, so it really needs to be well organized. After all, we will live here permanently."

Big figures like Zhou Dinghai and Xue Gui naturally only had to stay in the rear.

Although these low-level military officers do not have to fight on the front line every day, they still have to be stationed in Pojun Fort from time to time to prevent accidents.

"Let's go."

Li Rui said.

Afterwards, a few riders left Pojun Fort and headed deep into the Shiwan Mountains.

Months passed.

Large tracts of trees in Shiwan Mountain were burned, and several towering castles could be seen in Qinghe enclosure.

These castles almost surrounded the Purple Gold Palace.

Of course, several major wars broke out during this period.

But in the end, Annan Town relied on more troops and stronger warriors to suppress the counterattack of Zijin Palace.

Although there was no full-scale war, small conflicts never stopped.

"Brother, those bastards from Zijin Palace are really cunning. They attacked a fortress under Fu Tao's command last night. I heard that many people died."

Ning Zhongtian came to Li Rui's courtyard and said.

Li Rui chuckled:

"Fourth brother, you better be more careful."

Different from him.

Ning Zhongtian joined the army and inevitably had to guard the Seventy-two Forts.

Li Rui had no choice but to accept this.

Admiral Zhou may allow flexibility in unimportant matters, but he always has his say when it comes to matters related to the war.

Otherwise, once this door is opened, who would be willing to fight on the front line?

Ning Zhongtian: "Don't worry, big brother."

Today was his shift, so he was able to come to Pojun Fort to see Li Rui.

Afterwards, he told Li Rui about the situation on the front line.

It was so scary.

The strong men with Purple Gold Skill often launched night attacks, but they were not greedy and would just kill a few people and then run away.

I can't sleep well.

of course.

The soldiers in Annan Town did the same thing, and both sides were constantly testing each other.

This was also something Li Rui had expected.

It is common to hear of wars where sieges last for months or even decades, which is similar to the current situation in Annan Town.

In fact, most of the time it is just a test.

Even more outrageous, sometimes the two sides would even cease fire and start trade at certain times.

If there were wars every day.

In just a few days, everyone was dead.

Neither the Zijin Palace nor the Yu Kingdom court could afford this price.

A country may look powerful, but in fact it is extremely fragile.

It is possible that a seemingly stable country could be destroyed in one war.

Therefore, the two countries have always been cautious and restrained about the war.

What they want is stability, not losing the throne in one war.

Even so, the soldiers on the front line did not have a comfortable life.

Li Rui couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, his official position was high enough, otherwise no matter how he hid, he would not be able to escape the task of guarding the fort.

Where else can I be as leisurely as I am now?

Ning Zhongtian stayed in Pojun Fort for half a day. After handing over to Cao Wei, he couldn't wait to return to Qinghe. He didn't want to stay any longer.

Night time.

Li Rui, who was supposed to be in the house, had disappeared.

Somewhere beneath the Shiwan Mountains.

Li Rui was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

The secret room has now changed greatly. Not only has it been cleaned by Li Rui, but he has also moved in all kinds of furniture such as beds and cabinets.

Although I am not a person who pursues pleasure, I cannot live in a too shabby place.

A thought came to mind.

Five-colored true energy emanated from Li Rui's body.

Not bad.

After nearly a year of practice, he had finally mastered the final stage of the Five Spirits Body Refining Technique, the Sharp Gold Body.

"There are five thieves in the sky, and those who see them will prosper. The five thieves are in the heart. If you apply them to the sky, you will gather the five elements to refine your body, and form a body of five spirits, which will be immune to all evil."

next moment.

The five-colored true energy around Li Rui gradually began to entangle and blend under the influence of his mind.

'Metal gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to metal.'

The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other.

The sharp gold body, the green wood body, the black water body, the fierce flame body, and the thick earth body influence and entangle each other, with a subtle sense of repulsion.

Li Rui frowned slightly.

Then the immortal energy came out from Dantian, like a general commanding his subordinates, and it actually straightened out the five spiritual true qi.

Then the five kinds of true energy returned to the body.

Lung Metal, Heart Fire, Liver Wood, Kidney Water, Spleen Earth

Metal is in the lungs, fire is in the heart, wood is in the liver, water is in the kidneys, and earth is in the spleen. The immortal energy is harmonized in the center of the dantian.

'The immortal aura is peaceful and harmonious, and is the best for integration.'

Li Rui was delighted.

Under the influence of the immortal energy, the five spiritual energies gradually merged, and an invisible existence like a barrier was formed around the body.

The power of the five elements circulates endlessly.

Li Rui just opened his eyes.

"It's done!"

"Is this the Five Spirits Body?" Li Rui looked curiously at the invisible barrier covering his body.

'When the Five Spirits Body is slightly developed, it can become a Five Spirits Shield, which can withstand a force of ten thousand kilograms and is invulnerable to water and fire.'

There are these five spiritual shields.

The ability to save lives will be greatly improved!
Li Rui was delighted.

Compared with the art of killing, he actually values ​​the art of defense more.

What he seeks is immortality. Living long is important, but if you want to live long, you must first not die easily.

Li Rui couldn't help but feel curious.

How strong is this Five Spirit Shield?

Thinking of this, he pulled out the magic sword beside him and killed the dragon.

The whole body is full of strength.

Ten percent!
Zhan Jiao was thinking about slashing with the Five Spirit Shield.

Silent and breathless.

Just like falling into a quagmire, the speed of the dragon-slaying beast became slower and slower, and finally it was suspended in mid-air, unable to fall at all.

See this scene.

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

This Five Spirit Shield can block his full-strength attack!
"very good."

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

You know, his current combat power is already the best among the innates, and there are not many who can withstand his full-strength attack.

"I just don't know if I can withstand a third-grade attack."

soon.

Li Rui shook his head.

It’s not that he would not be able to catch it, but he would not do such an experiment, or in other words, he would not let such a thing happen before he stepped into the upper third level.

He hated the kind of dangerous challenges that involved going against one's level.

It would be more satisfying to have an absolute crush after the strength is enhanced.

What's more, the upper three grades are far from comparable to the innate ones.

Li Rui had seen He Qiannian take action, and he was truly domineering.

No matter how many innate masters there are, they are not as good as He Qiannian's punch.

One more way to save your life.

Li Rui was in a good mood.

He immediately used the Five Spirits Body and returned to the room.

It was already late at night.

He crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

When Li Rui walked out of the yard, he saw Nie Siming who was about to lead a group of people out of the city. He looked anxious and had murderous intent.

Take two quick steps.

"Brother Nie, are you going to leave the city?"

Nie Siming nodded, his face gloomy.

"Yes."

"A fort to our west was massacred."

Hearing this, Li Rui was shocked: "They were massacred. Was it a surprise attack by the Purple Gold Palace's army?"

Nie Siming shook his head: "No, according to the intelligence received, there should be a strong man who suddenly broke in."

"one person?"

Li Rui frowned.

It takes a lot of strength for one person to massacre an entire fortress.

I'm afraid that even Nie Siming may not be able to do it. He might be a strong man at the third-grade Tongxuan level.

"Brother Nie, the situation is unknown. It is safer to wait for reinforcements."

Nie Siming hummed:
"I have sent a message to Mr. Liu, and he will be here soon. I will only go with my eighth brother to investigate the situation first, and I will not fight with anyone."

Hear the words.

Only then did Li Rui stop dissuading him.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong are both powerful men at the peak of the innate realm, so they can take care of each other if they go out together.

Moreover, they all have the trump cards left by Lord Yuan, so even if they encounter a third-rank strongman, they have the confidence to protect themselves.

Done.

Nie Siming led his men out of the city.

Looking at Nie Siming leaving, Li Rui seemed to be thinking about something.

'It's still too dangerous outside.'

Purple Gold Palace.

Si Feng's somewhat annoyed voice echoed in the hall: "I told you not to attack again before you recover."

Taoist Sheng stood in front of Si Feng and picked his ears.

Not at all concerned:

"Friend Si Dao, you are making a big deal out of nothing."

"What can these crude warriors do to us?"

"Except for those few people, there is no need to be so wary."

"They are just some ants from the lower world."

Si Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Fellow Daoist Sheng, this world is not as simple as we think. You'd better restrain yourself and don't miss the big thing."

Done.

He flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Looking at Si Feng's departing back, Taoist Sheng curled his lips.

Subsequently.

The palm of his right hand was glowing scarlet.

He chuckled.

"If I can't practice the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, practicing the Hundred Souls Banner will be enough."

The Hall of All Laws teaches everyone without distinction, and there are both good and evil people in the hall.

And he is a wicked man.

This Ten Thousand Souls Banner is an evil weapon made from the souls of living people and is extremely powerful.

Taoist Sheng does have a Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but he cannot bring it to this world, so he has been thinking about refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The living soul required by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is not from an ordinary person, but at least from an entry-level warrior.

It is the fastest among those fortresses.

The light in his hand converged.

The smile on Sheng Daoren's lips turned playful.

"Sir, there is a letter for you."

A young soldier knocked on Li Rui's door.

Li Rui pushed open the door and said with a kind smile, "It's Xiao Ma."

War is a long-term endeavor, and most of the time, what the people in Pojun Fort need to do is to live well and maintain their morale.

Therefore, in addition to having sufficient supplies, communication with the outside world is also essential.

Half of the battalion was specifically responsible for delivering messages, not only military intelligence, but also family letters.

The young soldier handed the letter to Li Rui respectfully.

"thanks."

Li Rui took the letter and expressed his gratitude.

Suddenly.

The young soldier was flattered and waved his hand quickly: "Sir, this is what I should do."

Li Rui called his name just now.

But he never expected that a high-ranking official like Li Rui actually knew him.

I'm really flattered.

Li Rui laughed and said, "Okay, get busy."

The young soldier then respectfully said goodbye and left.

Li Rui took the letter and walked back to the room.

Although the messenger in the army has a low position and almost no power, it is an important position in Li Rui's eyes.

Sometimes it can even save lives.

So he secretly took note of the situation of all the soldiers who delivered the letter, so that he could speak it out in one sentence.

He sat at the wooden table.

Only then did he open the envelope.

The letter was written by He Qiannian, and it was written in secret code. Naturally, he had memorized the decryption method by heart.

Li Rui looked at it seriously.

The letter said two things.

First, the imperial court has ordered all the major clans to mobilize manpower to provide assistance, and those experts will arrive at the front line in a month at most.

Second, one of the seven guest officials of the Secret Guard is already in Yunzhou.

Li Rui was not interested in the former matter.

Because it was only a matter of time.

Although those big sects are powerful, they are ultimately making their living on the territory of the Dayu court. The reason why the court is more lenient towards these sects is that it hopes they can help at critical moments.

This is the case with the Northwest Frontier Army and the current Annan Town.

What really interested him was the second piece of news.

The seven guest officials of the Dark Guard are all mysterious.

But since it is an existence that can deal with the banished immortal, its strength cannot be bad.

No matter in which world, temporary workers are the most terrifying existence.

Although those guest officials are no longer included in the list of secret guards and are non-staff personnel, their strength is unquestionable.

Li Rui couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the guest official who came to Yunzhou.

Finished reading the letter.

He casually threw the letter into the brazier beside him and did not look away until it was completely burned to ashes.

"The world is in turmoil, so we need to improve our strength as quickly as possible."

A congenital warrior would be very impressive in any state.

But on the battlefield where the top three rank warriors appeared, he seemed to feel very insecure.

There was an incident in the Northwest Frontier Army where a barbarian warrior broke into the camp and killed officers.

Li Rui immediately sat cross-legged.

He continued to practice the Five Spirits Body Refining Technique.

Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The castle was empty, the gate was open, and a group of cavalry slowly walked in.

Nie Siming looked at the corpses all over the city.

He frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's really hateful."

Yuan Xiong at the side sighed softly. He and Nie Siming had seen this kind of scene too many times before. He turned his head and said to the adjutant beside him: "Call someone to take away the bodies of these brothers in the city. We, the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom, cannot die on the land of another country."

"Yes!"

The State of Yu attached great importance to filial piety, and especially to returning to one's roots.

Therefore, as long as the war permits, both generals and soldiers will take away the bodies of their comrades after the war and send them back to their hometowns.

To die on the battlefield is ultimately the worst option.

Finished the order.

Yuan Xiong then looked at Liu Qing, who was squatting not far away with an interested look on his face.

"Mr. Liu, can you tell who did it?"

Liu Qing was looking at a corpse, and Yuan Xiong could tell at a glance that it was the garrison guarding the city.

"interesting."

Do not know why.

Yuan Xiong actually saw excitement in Liu Qing's eyes.

Liu Qing murmured, "This killing method is really brilliant. It doesn't damage the body at all, but directly hits the soul. It's amazing."

But as he spoke, Liu Qing narrowed his eyes:

"No, that person committed murder, perhaps not for the purpose of killing the enemy."

At this time.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong were both attracted by Liu Qing's words.

Liu Qing said: "It should be for the purpose of seizing the living soul. Yes, it is for the living soul."

"And we need the living soul of a warrior. The higher the realm, the better."

"Why do they look more and more like the methods of evil monks in ancient times?"

Hear this.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong's pupils shrank slightly.

If that mysterious powerful person needs the soul of a warrior with a high level, there is no place more suitable than Pojun Fort near Shiwan Mountain.

Yuan Xiong exclaimed: "Oh no, the military fort is broken!"
