Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 388 Daoist friend, please stay [Monthly ticket plus update, please vote, two in one]

The sound of ghosts crying was heard in the room.

Li Rui sat cross-legged.

A white banner in front of him began to emit a blood-red mist, which then floated up on its own without any wind blowing.

"good."

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

After forty-nine days, he finally mastered the first level of the Thousand Souls Banner.

"According to the technique, the Thousand Souls Banner has three layers. Each time a layer is unlocked, its power increases several times. It takes seven years to refine it."

Li Rui thought secretly.

He has top-grade spiritual roots, and the progress in refining the Thousand Souls Banner is going smoothly.

There are almost no obstacles.

A thought came to mind.

The Thousand Souls Banner will float on its own, and there is no need to spend any effort to control it.

"The magic weapon of the immortal family is really useful."

Li Rui secretly praised in his heart.

He shouted in a low voice: "Collect!"

The Thousand Souls Banner turned into a small flag the size of a palm and flew into Li Rui's sleeve with a whoosh.

Compared to spiritual weapons, magic weapons are more flexible and can change size.

It is very convenient to carry.

Otherwise, if you go out carrying a white banner, you will definitely be regarded as a demon and beaten to death by the righteous people in the world.

I don’t know where it started, but those demon sects have a large number of supporters of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Ever since.

Those who use white flags will be automatically regarded as heretics.

But if you can put the Thousand Souls Banner in your sleeves and release it when fighting, it will not only catch the enemy by surprise but also save you a lot of trouble.

After refining the Thousand Souls Banner, Li Rui was in a good mood.

He hummed a little tune that the fishermen in Qinghe used to hum.

Push the door open and go out.

"Master."

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw Liu Tiezhu looking at me with a smile.

"Tiezhu, where is Senior Tie?"

Li Rui looked towards the backyard and found that Tie Kuang was not there.

Liu Tiezhu scratched his head: "Old man Tie said he felt suffocated staying in this house, so he went out to get some fresh air."

Li Rui understood.

Old man Tie is depressed.

Ever since that competition, Tie Kuang stopped fighting and practicing boxing, and stayed in the backyard all day to bask in the sun.

Li Rui couldn't help feeling guilty.

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so harsh."

He withdrew his gaze, then strolled out of the deputy general's mansion with his hands behind his back.

"Morning, Master Li."

"Brother Li, let's go for a drink some other day. I'll treat you."

Everyone I met looked like they had picked up money, and there was a constant smile on their face.

The rebellion in Zijin Palace was put down.

The town of Annan should take the first credit.

I heard that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel are discussing the issue of rewarding the three armies. Someone will definitely be promoted, and at least someone of poor rank will get a reward.

Of course I'm happy.

Smart people have already started making arrangements.

Li Rui knew that several deputy generals had sent secret letters to important figures in the capital, hoping to get an official position in the capital.

The State of Yu has always had the habit of attaching importance to the capital and neglecting the outside world.

No matter how good the officials from other places are, they are not as good as the officials in Beijing.

There was once a second-class Jinshi who would rather be a ninth-rank official in the capital than be sent out to be a county magistrate.

Although the situation is better among military generals, there are still many military generals who want to enter Beijing.

Fighting for military merits outside is not as comfortable as drinking tea in Beijing.

While greeting, Li Rui walked to the carriage parked at the gate of the camp.

The young groom called out "Master".

Li Rui: "Go to Qianhe Martial Arts School."

"Okay."

The young coachman cracked his whip, and the sturdy demon horse pulled the heavy carriage slowly towards Qinghe City.

When pedestrians on the street saw the carriage, they would consciously avoid it with a look of fear on their faces.

There was a small black and gold tiger-patterned flag on the carriage of Annan Town, which made it easy to identify.

In Qinghe, who dares to go against Annan Town?

Li Rui looked through the car curtain at the awe-filled eyes.

There was no ripple in my heart.

When he travels now, he usually rides in a horse-drawn carriage. If an official has to travel by himself, it would be like traveling at night in fine clothes, which would make people laugh at him.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The carriage stopped steadily in front of Qianzuru Martial Arts School.

Li Rui got out of the car.

He greeted the gatekeeper disciple of Qianhe Martial Arts School in a familiar manner, and then strolled to He Qiannian's courtyard.

The door to the courtyard was open.

From a distance, I could see He Qiannian lying there leisurely basking in the sun.

Li Rui walked to the door and bowed respectfully with a smile: "Senior, are you feeling better?"

He Qiannian: "Don't worry, you won't die."

"May you live forever, Senior. Living a few hundred more years won't be a problem."

"Do you think I'm an old monster?"

He Qiannian rolled his eyes.

Li Rui looked at He Qiannian, whose blood and energy were full, and thought to himself that those who practiced external skills were different. The injury He Qiannian suffered that day was not ordinary. An ordinary Xuanwu practitioner would need at least a year to fully recover, but He Qiannian shortened this time to three months.

A master of external martial arts, his recovery ability is indeed strong.

He Qiannian glanced at Li Rui and asked, "Did the guy surnamed Jiang leave?"

"Ah."

Li Rui nodded: "The Imperial Observatory was busy with affairs, and Brother Jiang left a few days ago."

He Qiannian snorted.

"That kid didn't even come to tell me and just quietly left."

Li Rui pretended not to hear.

In fact, after the battle in Zijin Palace that day, Jiang Linxian disappeared again. It was not until three days ago that she suddenly returned to the Deputy General's Mansion, packed her things, and left Qinghe that night in a hurry.

He Qiannian: "Boy, have you been slacking off in your training these days?"

"Practice hard every day, never be lazy."

Li Rui said that although he had put a lot of effort into refining the Thousand Souls Banner, he had not neglected the Great Horizontal Training.

The Thousand Souls Banner is a weapon and is an external one.

One's own realm and strength are the foundation.

"That's good."

He Qiannian then nodded with satisfaction.

The state of Dao Tai is hard to come by in a thousand years. Those who step into the state of Dao Tai are all geniuses who dominate the world.

If one can enter the Dao womb with external skills, the external skills will flourish for a thousand years.

"That event must be very interesting."

He Qiannian's mouth corners slightly raised.

He felt that Li Rui might really be able to do it.

Li Rui: "Senior, I heard that there is a sect that wants to enclose land in Shiwan Mountain?"

He Qiannian nodded: "I heard that he is a hidden master with great strength, and he wants to establish a sect in Shiwan Mountain."

A hidden master?

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Shiwan Mountains are too sensitive. Not to mention that they are located at the border between the two countries, because of the Zijin Palace, both the Yu court and the Wu royal family are keeping an eye on it.

In order for that person to establish a sect in Shiwan Mountain, he needed to establish a relationship between the two countries of Yu and Wu.

It is impossible for ordinary people to do this.

It can be said that one has hands and eyes that can see through everything.

He also heard the gossip from the capital.

He Qiannian: "This matter is indeed strange, but since it is the decision of the Holy Emperor, it is not something you and I can worry about. Just focus on practicing martial arts."

"Yes, senior."

Of course Li Rui knew.

However, as the deputy general of Annan Town, if a large sect appears in the Shiwan Mountains, there must be some connection.

Whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is always better to know more about them.

He didn't like being kept in the dark.

At the hour of Hai, the night is deep and quiet.

Except for the patrolling guards, the Annan Town camp was shrouded in the inexhaustible darkness.

Li Fuzhong.

Li Rui's room was brightly lit.

It stays on all night.

Only the rich and powerful could afford to do this. In the past, no one would even think about it and would not be willing to spend the money on lights.

Finished the exercise.

Only then did Li Rui crawl into bed and fall asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in front of the Taixu Taoist Temple shrouded in clouds and mist.

He sat cross-legged on the ground skillfully.

Start breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice.

The Five Spirits Body Refining Art has now been mastered, and in ancient times, he would be considered an outstanding cultivator.

Coupled with his martial arts skills, he cannot be underestimated.

'Brother Jiang once said that the current top three grades have actually been improved. Five hundred years ago, a banished immortal came down to earth, and the court was able to get a glimpse of the immortal secrets. The top three grades have been called the third grade of earthly immortals only in the past few hundred years, because these three grades are the way to immortality from the innate.'

'They are already 70% to 80% similar to the ancient immortal cultivators.'

Li Rui was doing two things at once.

While madly absorbing the spiritual energy of Taixu Taoist Temple, he was thinking.

The spiritual energy in Taixu Taoist Temple is several times denser than that of the outside world. Practicing immortal arts here can make rapid progress.

About three hours passed.

Only then did Li Rui stand up.

Step onto the white jade steps on time.

One step, two steps and ten steps.

He climbed more than twenty steps in one breath without being affected by the shock of his soul at all.

Just as Li Rui was about to step onto the 28th step.

A sudden change occurred!

The hairs on Li Rui's back stood up, and a strong sense of crisis made him turn his head sharply.

"Sure enough, it appears again!"

In an instant, a small flying sword appeared one foot in front of him.

Five Spirit Shield!
The Five Spirit Shield, which had been prepared long ago, blocked the small flying sword.

Since the last time, Li Rui never took off the Five Spirit Shield whenever he stepped onto the stairs, and it was the same every time.

Now it finally comes in handy!

It was at this moment that Li Rui finally saw the scene behind him clearly.

There was a plump, cheerful-looking young Taoist priest standing behind him, and the flying sword was being driven by that Taoist priest.

Li Rui was wondering whether the young Taoist was the combat target simulated by Taixu Dojo.

The young Taoist actually spoke:
"Fuck, it's actually alive."

The atmosphere in front of the white jade steps became weird.

Both seemed caught off guard.

The fat Taoist smiled and said:
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

"I thought it was a trial illusion, so I took action. I am sorry for the offense."

The corner of Li Rui's mouth twitched.

This was really an unlucky remark. Once a cultivator named Shen said this, that fellow Taoist was not far from falling. He withdrew his right foot that was about to step out.

He walked down the white jade steps and came in front of the fat Taoist priest.

If it were reality, he would definitely act without hesitation, but this is a dream, and the worst that can happen is insomnia.

He couldn't help but become more curious about this fat Taoist priest.

He squinted his eyes and looked him up and down.

The fat Taoist on the opposite side did something similar.

After a long time, Li Rui confirmed one thing: the fat Taoist in front of him was not a dream simulation, but like him, he came to Taixu Taoist Temple through his soul in a dream.

The fat Taoist bowed and said, "I am Wu De from the Shenxuan Palace. I wonder what sect you belong to?"

Shenxuan Palace?
Wu De is really a good name.

There was no change on Li Rui's face.

However, he was muttering in his heart that as the deputy general of Annan Town, he had access to intelligence on all the forces of the Yu State and was already familiar with it.

However, he had never heard of such a sect as Shenxuan Palace.

'Could it be the Hidden Sect, or maybe it's not a sect of the Yu Kingdom?'

Although I was confused.

But Li Rui still smiled and bowed: "So it's Brother Wu, my name is Zhu Ping, I have no sect or school, I am just a wandering wanderer."

He originally wanted to make up a sect.

After all, people who travel around the world without any sect or affiliation are easily looked down upon.

But he was worried that the other party really knew him and it would be exposed, so for the sake of safety, he had to settle for the second best.

Hear the words.

Wu De laughed:

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhu. I have long heard of your great name."

Li Rui smiled.

Long admired?

Zhu Ping was the former patriarch of the Zhu family. He died long ago and no one recognized him outside of Qinghe. It was strange that the fat Taoist in front of him knew him.

But there was more of a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Wu, I have long admired you."

Wu De narrowed his eyes, which were originally only the size of green beans, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, how did you get into this Taixu Dao Palace?"

Look at the appearance.

He had no intention of mentioning the previous sword that caused Li Rui to lose sleep.

Li Rui laughed: "It's just a coincidence."

Wu De also laughed and said, "Then we are really destined to meet."

Both of them had ulterior motives.

After talking for a long time, I didn't get any useful information.

Li Rui's surprise gradually dissipated.

as big as World, nothing is nonexistent.

Since he was able to enter the Taixu Taoist Temple, it is natural that other people may have thought of other ways to enter.

It's just that the two of them actually met each other.

What a coincidence.

Wu De on the opposite side had similar thoughts and kept muttering to himself.

'Looks honest, but not honest at all.'

He tried his best to talk but couldn't get any information from Li Rui.

When Li Rui was about to continue asking questions.

Wu De's face changed and he cried out "Oh no!" Then his figure gradually became illusory and finally disappeared.

Looking at the empty ground.

Li Rui fell into deep thought.

Obviously, Wu De's method of entering Taixu Taoist Temple was not as good as Da Mengyouxian's. It only took half an hour, which was pitifully short.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

It is also time for the Great Dream of the Immortals to end.

next moment.

Li Rui sat up from the bed.

He muttered to himself.

"Shenxuan Palace, Wu De."

He sat up from the bed, washing and thinking.

When you push the door and walk out.

It's already bright.

He beckoned a young servant and said, "Go and call General Tan."

"Yes."

Just a moment.

Tan Hu strode into the deputy general's residence and said with a grin, "Brother, what's the matter?"

He is very proud of himself now.

Li Rui was promoted and was brought to the Annan Town camp. He was the most personal guard among the personal guards, and he had made a breakthrough in the last battle of Zijin Palace, so he was naturally happy.

"Huzi, go check the files to see if there is a sect called Shenxuan Palace."

Tan Hu was a little surprised.

"Shenxuan Palace?"

But he didn't think much about it, and nodded: "Okay, brother, I'll check it out now."

"Go."

Li Rui waved his hand.

I became more and more curious about Wu De's identity.

After a short episode.

Li Rui's life returned to normal.

After that, he stayed at Taixu Taoist Temple every night, but he never saw Wu De again.

Obviously.

It was not easy for Wu De to enter Taixu Taoist Temple.

There is no time in cultivation, and autumn comes in the blink of an eye.

In the courtyard.

Li Rui was wearing an autumn jacket suitable for the solar term, even though he was no longer afraid of cold or heat.

He looked at Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong who were eager to try.

"Then come on."

Today, he told the two about his breakthrough.

Ok.

Although it’s a year late.

Upon learning this, the two couldn't wait to compete with Li Rui.

Nie Siming said excitedly: "Finally I caught up. My eighth brother and I have already stepped half a step into Tongxuan. We will be able to enter the upper third level in three years at most."

Being able to fight with Li Rui on the same level made these two martial arts fanatics very excited.

In fact, the two of them have already sparred with Li Rui many times.

It’s just that because of the inequality of our realms, it’s hard to enjoy it every time.

Now I finally have the chance.

The three of them came to the martial arts arena.

Nie Siming was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He clasped his fists towards Li Rui and showed no intention of holding back. He directly used his weapon, a spear.

Li Rui drew the sword from his waist and killed the dragon, holding the sword and sheath in his hand.

A fighting spirit rose in Nie Siming's eyes.

Give a low drink.

The spear shook and stabbed towards Li Rui like a silver dragon, and the domineering true energy pressed towards Li Rui like a tidal wave.

The slain dragon roared softly, like a dragon roaring in the sky.

next moment.

Swords and guns collided.

Nie Siming raised his eyebrows. He was the one who was at a disadvantage?

But there was more excitement in his eyes.

"Come again!"

Nie Siming no longer held back this time. He was like a madman, entering a special state of violence.

In this state.

His strength has increased by 30%!
Nie Siming was already a top-notch innate strongman, and now his strength has been improved by 30%. It is obvious how powerful he is.

Yuan Xiong watched the fight from the side.

"Seventh Brother was born with an abnormal soul. He can control his inner demons and enter a state of madness. He is extremely domineering. I'm afraid Brother Li can't resist him."

He was ready to take action at any time.

He was afraid that Nie Siming would lose control and hurt Li Rui.

Li Rui became more and more excited as the battle went on.

With his great horizontal training combined with dragon-shaped true qi, he was able to fight Nie Siming on equal terms.

In a blink of an eye.

The two have exchanged hundreds of moves.

It was so dizzying that I could hardly see clearly.

finally--

Li Rui roared, and used his great brute force to tear apart Nie Siming's gun, forcibly knocking Nie Siming out of his crazy state.

See this scene.

Yuan Xiong couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What a powerful external skill!"

This move alone almost established Li Rui's reputation as the best in innate external skills.

You know, as Yuan Dingting's adopted son, not only are he and Nie Siming's external martial arts not weak, but their bodies can be said to be very strong, on par with their internal martial arts.

This situation is rare in the congenital area.

But even so, Nie Siming was still suppressed by Li Rui's external skills.

Nothing!
Nie Siming's eyes regained clarity, and he used his spear to push the ground to steady his body.

Looking at Li Rui, he took a deep breath:

"I lost."

There are not many people in the Innate Realm who can make Nie Siming admit defeat.

Even though a warrior like Nie Siming can only show his full strength when facing life and death, Nie Siming has already recognized Li Rui's strength and accepted the defeat with conviction.

The fighting spirit in Li Rui's eyes did not disappear.

Without any intention of resting, he turned to look at Yuan Xiong.

"Brother Yuan, do you want to try?"

Yuan Xiong was stunned.

Originally, he was thinking about not taking advantage of the situation and waiting for Li Rui to recover to his peak before fighting again.

I didn't expect Li Rui to take the initiative to ask for a fight.

How could he say no?

"it is good!"

Yuan Xiong shouted and also clenched his silver spear.

Fight with Li Rui.

Unlike Nie Siming, although Yuan Xiong's kung fu is also domineering, he does not take the aggressive approach. His pistol skills are exquisite and hard to defend against.

Li Rui held a knife in one hand and stood still.

He did not use any magic at all, but only responded with martial arts.

Half an hour later.

Li Rui wins again!

Lian fought against Yuan Dingting's two adopted sons and won all the battles.

If this matter were to get out, I'm afraid the entire Yu Kingdom would be shocked.

The battle is over.

Nie Siming then came over, looked at Yuan Xiong, and laughed:

"Brother Li's fighting ability is such that he can be called the best in the world."

Yuan Xiong, who was always calm, actually nodded in agreement this time:
“It’s worthy of the name.”

Li Rui was happy.

Invincible without Tongxuan!

Yuan Dingting’s two adopted sons jointly recognized it!
