Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 394: The First Appearance of the Dao Fetus [Monthly Ticket Plus, Request for Monthly Ticket, Two-in-One]

"Master Li, from now on this hilltop will be your cave."

The old Taoist priest Zi Yang led Li Rui and his party to a beautiful hill.

Li Rui and his group walked on a path that had been cleared and paved with bluestone slabs.

They came to Qingwei Sect.

Taoist Zi Yang brought them here.

The Qingwei Sect occupies a very large area.

There are more than a dozen hills.

Standing on the top of the hill, you can see the endless mountains and the palaces built of white jade bricks, which gives you a feeling of the legendary fairy palace.

Although the small hill where the Yu State was stationed was not large, it had an excellent advantage.

That is, it is very close to the main peak.

this point is very important.

Great Master Qing Ding has already set up a large formation. The concentration of spiritual energy within the Qingwei Sect is far higher than other places in the Shiwan Mountains. With the main peak as the center, the spiritual energy becomes thinner as you go out.

This also defines the difference between inside and outside.

The mountain where Li Rui is located is the innermost location.

This is also the key reason why so many people want to be stationed in Qingwei Sect.

The importance of the word "di" is self-evident.

Just think about it, a chores disciple who has just joined Qingwei Sect can only live in a place twenty miles away from the main peak, where the spiritual energy is pitifully thin.

In comparison, Li Rui's treatment was not very good.

soon.

Under the guidance of Taoist Zi Yang, Li Rui saw a quiet and elegant house.

Although not luxurious, it has a sense of transcendence.

Surrounded by a sea of ​​bamboo, it is refreshing.

Taoist Zi Yang: "Master Li, this is your residence. All matters concerning the sect are written in the booklet. You are honored guests, but please abide by the rules of this sect."

"nature."

Li Rui smiled and nodded.

After Taoist Zi Yang finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the mountain.

I have no intention of staying longer.

That’s right, the State of Yu sent people to station there, ostensibly for communication but actually for monitoring.

It would be strange if the people of Qingwei Sect were happy about this.

Li Rui didn't care either.

Similarly, he was sent by the State of Yu, his salary was given by the court, and he had the support of the Holy Emperor, so it didn't matter what the Qingwei Sect was like.

Just keep it in moderation.

Then it is to improve your cultivation as much as possible.

This is the purpose of Li Rui's coming here.

Xue Gui once secretly reminded him not to forget his identity as an official of the State of Yu.

Li Rui is now an open spy.

To be a spy you must have the awareness of a spy. No spy who is turned against his will has a good ending.

Of course he wouldn't do something stupid like that.

Coming to Qingwei Sect is to obtain scarce resources for cultivation, not to sacrifice yourself.

Li Rui is very clear about this.

Ning Zhongtian looked at the spotless room and said, "This immortal's residence is so clean."

Tan Hu, Ge Hong and others also looked excited.

soon.

The rooms were allocated to each of them.

There was actually nothing to do when stationed in Qingweizong, or rather, all the court had to do was to intimidate.

As long as Li Rui stays in Qingwei Sect, it is enough.

It's an easy job.

Li Rui's room is in the middle and is the second largest one.

Although it was not as grand as the deputy general's mansion, the second courtyard was more than enough for him and Liu Tiezhu.

As for the largest one, of course it will be reserved for other uses.

Liu Tiezhu put away all the bags on his body.

Then he began to shake the bed vigorously.

Place various things.

Li Rui picked up the booklet on the wooden table in the room and began to read it carefully.

"Something interesting."

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

The booklet goes into great detail, such as how the Qingwei Sect has seventeen peaks and twenty-three halls, and it also gives a detailed introduction to the functions of these halls, as well as what the outer and inner disciples have to do.

of course.

None of this has anything to do with Li Rui.

He just needs to focus a little.

That's where not to go is enough.

Yes, there really is one, and that is the forbidden area on the back mountain of the main peak.

Except for Taoist Qingding, no one can set foot there.

soon.

Li Rui was attracted by the six arts of immortal cultivation in the booklet.

For those who practice Taoism, the ultimate goal is of course to achieve immortality and become an immortal who lives as long as heaven and earth.

But this process is extremely long.

It requires a lot of resources, and it is inevitable to fight with others.

Therefore, the six arts of cultivating immortals came into being.

The so-called six arts are alchemy, weapon making, talismans, formation of battle array, beast exorcism, and spiritual plants.

In fact, the State of Yu also had a corresponding sect.

But compared with the real methods of the immortal sect, there is a world of difference.

Although warriors have great killing power, they are far inferior to cultivators in many means, so warriors are often regarded as stupid and rough men by cultivators.

Li Rui looked at it and his heart moved slightly.

'We have to find a way to get it and try it.'

Three days later.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the founding ceremony of the Qingwei Sect began.

Great Master Qing Ding led his seven disciples to pray for blessings and worship the Three Pure Ones.

The next day.

The Qingwei Sect’s Immortal Gate Assessment has begun.

The immortal seekers who came from all over the world almost filled up the mountain.

It’s not lively.

Li Rui attended the ceremony as an envoy of the State of Yu.

The assessment is divided into three levels.

1. It works.

2. Illusion.

3. Trial.

Then, the best of those who passed the three levels will be selected, and one hundred people will be chosen to become outer disciples.

As for those who were not elected.

You can choose to leave, or stay and work as a menial disciple.

If one performs well, he will have the opportunity to become an outer disciple. Of course, he will inevitably be exploited by the Qingwei Sect for many years.

Compared to others.

Li Rui paid special attention to those unremarkable but calm and collected disciples who were not selected.

If his surname was still Han, he would accept him as his apprentice without hesitation.

Make more good friends.

It’s a pity that it didn’t happen.

The assessment lasted three days in total.

As a bystander, Li Rui was naturally relaxed, but the participants were not so calm.

At last.

One hundred people successfully joined the Qingwei Sect.

What surprised Li Rui was that there were actually a thousand menial disciples.

Once the dream of cultivating immortals that had been suppressed for ten thousand years broke out, the power was truly unimaginable.

Among them, there were even fifth-rank warriors who volunteered to become menial disciples.

Li Rui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Things became much more dull after that.

The Qingwei Sect became very lively.

But these have little to do with Li Rui.

This day.

Shenhua Peak, in front of the Dharma Hall.

Chunxuzi sat cross-legged on the high platform, and one hundred outer disciples were looking forward to it.

Ju Ting Chunxuzi said loudly:

"Immortality is Taoism. To cultivate immortality one must first cultivate truth. This truth is the unity of nature and life. The spirit is restrained, and only then can the spirit be led into the body."

Chunxuzi is a senior disciple of Master Qingding.

He is a top third grade master.

That is to say, it was only when the Qingwei Sect was first established that one could see him personally preach.

Li Rui took Ning Zhongtian and a few others to the outermost part of the crowd to listen. Not far away, they could see the stationed officials of the Wu Kingdom.

He listened very carefully.

I pondered secretly in my heart.

'So this is Xiao Xiantian.'

Compared to practicing martial arts, the method for cultivators to enter the innate realm is much simpler and more brutal, involving elixirs and initiation.

Of course, your health can’t be too bad.

It has to be at least at the eighth level.

After that comes fetal breathing, Qi refining, Yuan condensation, etc.

Li Rui listened to the Dharma for many days and gradually understood. No wonder Yuan Dingting said that different paths lead to the same destination, and the key lies in people.

The confluence of the two begins from the state of wonderful mystery.

It corresponds to the Tongxuan realm.

Only those who reach the wonderful and mysterious realm can be called a true person.

They all take the path of using spiritual energy to resonate with heaven and earth. The only difference is the means. Some people like to use weapons, while others like to use magic weapons.

Who is awesome?
Before reaching the state of Tongxuan, cultivators have a great advantage, but they can only reach the upper third level.

Actually, it’s almost the same.

If he could crush him, would Chunxuzi be so polite to Nie Siming?

After all, strength is the confidence.

Because the Qingwei Sect was established in the two countries of Yu and Wu, it followed the local customs and changed its name to Tongxuan and Tianxiang on top of Miaoxuan.

Li Rui comes to lecture every day.

Often inspiring.

I shouted that it was really worth coming to Qingwei Sect.

Li Rui's life was quite happy, as he listened to sermons during the day and went to Taixu Taoist Temple to practice at night.

The progress of cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds.

Most proud of.

The most unexpected thing was that the stone fetus above the Dantian Immortal Palace actually fell off a piece of stone skin.

This change is incredible.

This means that Li Rui is very likely to enter the realm of the fetus.

Through a corner of the stone skin that has fallen off, you can vaguely see the delicate skin underneath.

Li Rui was secretly looking forward to it.

The stone skin completely fell off, and the day when the Dao fetus was born. Changqing Peak, inside the courtyard.

"Master Li, your Changqing Peak has more spiritual energy, why do the spiritual bamboos grow better than those on my Mantuo Peak?"

A middle-aged man laughed heartily.

Li Rui took a sip of tea:

"Master Sang, raising bamboo also requires sincerity."

"Sincere?"

"Ah."

Li Rui looked very confident.

The Qingwei Sect allocated this small hill to him, so he named it Changqing Peak.

The most commendable thing about Changqing Peak is the exceptionally pleasing growth of bamboos on the peak.

It is said that the feng shui here is good and full of spiritual energy.

Only Li Rui knew that these bamboos had clearly absorbed the immortal energy he had obtained during his practice.

The man in front of me is called Sang Kong.

Like him, he was an official sent by the Wu Kingdom to the Qingwei Sect.

They were in the same situation, and Li Rui was very famous in Wu Country, so after a few visits, the two became tea friends.

Sang Kong curled his lips.

"Everyone knows that your Lord Gu and Great Master Qing Ding are good friends. It's obvious that he is deliberately showing partiality."

Although he is envious, he will not feel jealous.

Li Rui did not refute.

Because it's true.

Sang Kong drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then said: "Master Li, tell your men to be careful recently. Shiwan Mountain is not peaceful."

"Oh?"

"What happened?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

Sang Kong: "Two outer disciples of Qingwei Sect died a few days ago. After investigation, it turned out that it was the remnants of Zijin Palace who did it."

"Purple Gold Palace?"

"Ah."

Sang Kong nodded: "You also know that many people from the Purple Gold Palace have escaped. The Blood Shadow Ancestor and two of the palace's great demons are still lurking in the Shiwan Mountains."

"The Yu Kingdom is the main force. The Purple Gold Palace knows that you are in the Shiwan Mountains and will definitely find a way to retaliate."

Li Rui nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Sang."

Shiwan Mountain is too big.

It would be very easy for a few people or monsters to hide, and they would be impossible to find.

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.

All we can do is be more careful.

Sang Kong suddenly chuckled and said, "Master Li, if you are in danger, you can come to me. I am working hard and will soon make a breakthrough."

Li Rui knew.

The breakthrough that Sang Kong was talking about was not a small hurdle, but a step into the realm of enlightenment.

Become a grandmaster of the upper third rank.

The conditions that Emperor Qingweizong promised to the Wu Kingdom were the same as those promised to the Yu Kingdom.

They can only send warriors below the Tongxuan level.

But rules are rules, and there is always room for flexibility.

When Sang Kong came to Qingwei Sect, he was indeed an innate person, but he had already broken through the soul refining barrier and then he broke through by chance.

Well, it's all coincidence.

If they were to replace people, the Wu Kingdom would definitely have to select new officials, which would take time.

This time can be long or short.

It is common to spend seven or eight years selecting one person.

So during this period, Qingwei Sect will have to bear more responsibility.

In this regard, the Qingwei Sect could only turn a blind eye.

Even though they are immortal sects, the foundation of the Yu and Wu countries cannot be underestimated, otherwise the destroyed Zi Jin Palace is the best example.

This is also the practice of Prime Minister Zhang’s theory on water control.

It is better to loosen than to block, but we also need to make an example of someone to scare the monkey.

Li Rui: "Congratulations, congratulations."

Sang Kong smiled proudly.

If it were someone else, he would definitely not say it.

No matter which official of the State of Yu was involved, he would not have been so close to him.

Li Rui is an exception.

Who told Li Rui to have a very good personal relationship with the Great Witch and the Third Princess? He knew that Li Rui had a Black Dragon Order on him.

Only the people of Wu Kingdom truly know the value of the Black Dragon Order.

And there was news that came from somewhere, saying that Li Rui had once bathed his feet with the great witch.

Be nice.

This friendship is certainly worth making more of.

It is impossible for the Qingwei Sect to stay here forever. Sooner or later, they will have to be rotated back. Maybe they can get close to the behemoth Dawu through Li Rui, so they must pay more attention to it.

The two chatted happily.

Until evening.

Sang Kongcai left with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.

Li Rui stood up and returned to the room with a smile.

Start practicing again.

Outside Qingwei Sect, a corner of the continuous mountains.

A ten-foot-tall, red toad was lying on the ground with a relaxed look on its face.

At this time.

An old man in a black robe came up to him.

The big red toad slowly opened its eyes and spoke in human language: "Blood Shadow, you are indeed alive."

Ancestor Xueying looked at the Heavenly Beetle Zhuha, which was once one of the three pillars of the Purple Gold Palace, and said coldly: "Have you forgotten the kindness of the Immortal Venerable?"

The longicorn red clam narrowed its eyes.

Favor?

It was forced to join the Purple Gold Palace.

If Si Feng wasn't so ridiculously powerful, it would have slipped away long ago.

Ansheng is not feeling comfortable basking in the sun?
Why get involved in human disputes?

Of course, Longhorn Beetle Red Haw would not speak out his true feelings. He chuckled and said, "The Immortal Venerable has been captured. So what do you think we should do?"

The Blood Shadow Patriarch snorted coldly: "Of course it is to rescue the Immortal Lord."

Hear this.

The longicorn red clam was just short of cursing.

Si Feng was arrested. Did he surrender voluntarily?
That was taken away!

Even Si Feng is not his match, and even if he and the Blood Shadow Ancestor are put together, they are no match for him.

So it chooses not to speak.

The Blood Shadow Ancestor took a deep breath. He saw that the Longicorn Red Clam in front of him was not very active.

But now he really needs help.

He said coldly: "The Qingwei Sect has what I need. Send some little demons to keep an eye on a man named Li Rui. If any Qingwei Sect disciple goes out, kill him if you can."

"We must make that ox nose of the Qingwei Sect pay with blood."

Not bad.

He followed Li Rui all the way to Shiwan Mountain.

He was determined to obtain the Thousand Souls Banner.

But he also knew that this matter could not be rushed and had to be done slowly.

The longhorn beetle Red Clam snorted twice: "Got it."

Hearing that the longicorn Zhuha agreed.

The Blood Shadow Ancestor's expression finally eased.

After running around all day, he had gathered considerable power. In addition to the longicorn red clam in front of him, the other three-eyed ghost elephant of the Three Pillars had already taken action.

If you can't defeat Master Qingding, why can't you attack his disciples?
Done everything.

The Blood Shadow Patriarch then turned and left, disappearing into the dense forests of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Watching the Blood Shadow Ancestor leave.

A little demon stepped forward and said timidly to the longhorn beetle Zhuha: "My king, are we really going?"

The longhorn beetle red clam turned over lazily:
"I didn't get a dick, why would I risk my life for it?"

The little demon blinked his eyes: "My king, what should we do?"

The Longicorn Red Clam turned over with its belly exposed to the sun, and said with a satisfied look on its face: "What else can I do? Just call a few monsters and hang around near the Qingwei Sect. Try not to attack."

The big demon was immediately overwhelmed with admiration for the longhorn beetle Zhuha.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The little demon was sent away.

Longicorn Zhuha's face was even more proud: "Among the three pillars, I am the smartest. That old elephant is stupid."

Qingwei Sect, Yunxiao Peak.

A huge palace was crowded with people.

In addition to the outer disciples, there are also many menial disciples.

This is the Dharma Transmission Hall of the Qingwei Sect.

To put it simply, it is the place where the disciples of Qingwei Sect obtain immortal skills.

No matter if you are an outer disciple or a menial disciple, there is only one way to obtain martial arts skills, and that is to exchange them for merits.

The Qingwei Sect also has a hall called the Merit Hall.

Both outer disciples and menial disciples can go there to receive tasks and gain credit after completing them.

Merits can be used to exchange for magic, elixirs, talismans, etc.

The mission of the Merit Hall, besides helping the elders of the sect to look after spiritual plants and monsters, also includes rewards from the two countries of Yu and Wu.

Li Rui walked among the crowd.

I guess it's because I'm a bit older, so people often look at me with curiosity.

He has long been accustomed to it.

Fortunately, there were many old men who joined the Qingwei Sect, and many of them were menial disciples, so it did not cause any big waves.

Although he was an official stationed in the State of Yu, he rarely showed up in public.

Therefore, not many people know his identity.

Li Rui found a young disciple.

"My dear friend, I want to sell a book of magic, but I don't know..."

I was only halfway through my sentence.

The young disciple pointed at a wall impatiently:

"It's clearly written on it. If you want something, just tell me. If you have merit, buy it. If you don't have merit, get out."

Done.

He left in a hurry and rushed around the hall.

Li Rui didn't care about the young man's rude attitude.

It's normal. Anyone who works for eight hours straight wouldn't go crazy.

This is how I went through life when I was young.

He raised his head and looked at the ten-foot-high wall, on which were densely covered many small characters.

There are countless exercises written on it, and the required merits are also indicated.

If you don't have merit, you can also use elixirs, talismans, etc. to go to the corresponding elixir hall or talisman hall to exchange for merit.

Li Rui looked at it for a long time.

Most of these skills are martial arts of the martial arts world. Cultivating immortality also requires practicing martial arts. Many of the menial disciples this time actually do not have a high level of cultivation. They need to improve their martial arts level before they can embark on the path to immortality.

At the top is the exercise method.

Talismans, formations, magic weapon refining, and immortal secrets are all available.

Li Rui squinted his eyes and looked for a long time.

Finally, I chose a book called "Complete Explanation of Talismans".
