Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 411: The Prince's Teacher

In the small courtyard of Changqing Peak.

"Master Li has entered the upper third rank, and his future is bound to be limitless."

Sang Kong said with a smile after he sat down.

Taoist Ziyang also smiled: "Just now I saw Lord Li, he looked like a fairy, this is a very auspicious sign."

Li Rui asked Liu Tiezhu to serve tea:

"You two, why are you so polite?"

As soon as Sang Konghe and Taoist Zi Yang sat down, they presented their gifts.

He has asked Liu Tiezhu to take over.

The two came to congratulate him on his breakthrough, and it would be rude not to accept the gift.

Sang Kong laughed loudly: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Why are you being so polite, Brother Li? In two years, it will be the day of the World Martial Arts Review. Then we can go in together and take a look at his performance on the Martial Arts Review."

Speaking of martial arts reviews.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

He has now revealed his profound realm to the outside world.

Being selected into the World Martial Arts Review is a sure thing.

The World Martial Arts Review is an honor that belongs exclusively to the strong, but I don’t know how the ranking will be.

Although Taoist Zi Yang has been practicing in seclusion for many years, he is also very familiar with worldly affairs: "Perhaps the world's martial arts evaluation will be different this time."

Li Rui and Sang Kong agreed with this.

The destruction of the Purple Gold Palace was like a fuse, as if it had blown up the immortal's nest.

All the existences that were previously hidden in the world and were ostensibly hidden sects, but were actually immortal sects, were revealed.

In the past, the world’s martial arts evaluation only evaluated the strong in the visible world, and the hidden sects were excluded.

Now all the immortal sects have emerged.

Eighty percent will also participate in the evaluation.

The scenery at that time will surely be a grand event.

Gu Changsheng will probably have a headache for a long time because of this.

The three of them chatted.

The topic unconsciously turned to the South China Sea.

It was Sang Kong who started the conversation: "Master Ziyang, have you found the person who killed Master Chunxuzi?"

This matter is now causing a stir in the Qingwei Sect.

Taoist Zi Yang sighed and shook his head: "Senior Brother Xuan Yu has already gone to the South China Sea, and Senior Brother Chun Xu Zi must have been harmed by that evil cultivator."

The two said.

Li Rui would interject from time to time.

When he went to Nanhai Xian City, he left a clone at Changqing Peak. Combined with Gu Changsheng's aura, it was enough to make it look real.

He had a perfect alibi.

No one would suspect that he, an official of the State of Yu who was in seclusion to break through, would be the one who killed Chunxuzi.

"What is the realm of the old demon Tiannan?"

Li Rui asked.

Taoist Zi Yang showed fear in his eyes: "I heard that he is at least a great demon in the second-grade celestial realm, and he has also refined the legendary Ten Thousand Souls Banner that harms the heaven and earth!"

"He is truly a heinous criminal!"

Taoist Zi Yang said angrily.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

The matter about the old demon Tiannan must have been spread by those two demon cultivators.

of course.

This was also intentional on his part.

The purpose is to divert everyone's attention.

The old demon Tiannan does not exist at all.

No matter how powerful you are, you can't find it.

Li Rui can stay completely out of it.

Although the news of Li Rui's breakthrough had spread in the Qingwei Sect, due to his identity as an official of the Yu State, no one would discuss it openly.

The days passed by.

Reached the upper third grade.

Of course, the realm improvement can no longer be as exaggerated as before, and it is common to take hundreds of years.

Li Rui has immortal spiritual roots and the power of eternal youth.

Walk very steadily.

Besides.

He practiced martial arts every day and also studied the arts of formations and talismans, so he was extremely busy.

When you are busy, the days go by faster.

One year has passed in the blink of an eye.

At the foot of Changqing Peak.

Li Rui walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, occasionally throwing a few colorful stones from his sleeves.

These are not ordinary things.

But it is the five elements stone.

After some research, he finally figured out a way to reverse the Five Elements Formation.

Now trying to set up the formation.

Once the formation is set up, with him as the center of the formation, he can easily trap and kill a fifth-rank master. Even if he is facing a Tongxuan realm master, he can be of benefit in the battle.

His formation has been improved, but it is only at level six.

If one could become a third-rank formation master, the formation he could set up would be truly extraordinary, and it would be easy for him to trap Tongxuan to death.

Li Rui is not one of those Taoists who does not need to worry about resources and only needs to concentrate on seeking the Tao.

It is necessary to learn more skills to support yourself.

Combined with martial arts, it will definitely give the enemy some surprises.

He didn't want too much.

I only practiced formations and talismans, and gave up on more things decisively.

soon.

Li Rui walked around Changqing Peak.

After throwing out the last Five Elements Stone, he clapped his hands in satisfaction.

The reversal of the five elements formation was successful.

It is not visible on normal days and will only appear when he urges it.

He took a walk every day over the past year, throwing out a few pieces of Five Elements Stone each time, and setting up the formation without anyone noticing.

Li Rui walked back to the courtyard.

As soon as I walked in the door.

Then he saw Sang Kong sitting in the yard, and Liu Tiezhu was talking to him: "Master."

Liu Tiezhu gave up his seat obediently.

Li Rui sat down with a smile: "Brother Sang, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

Sang Kong grinned: "Brother Li, I heard that the first batch of disciples from Yuguo Daoyuan will also go to Qingwei Sect?"

Li Rui nodded.

"I heard that they have already arrived in Qinghe. I estimate that they should be there in about three days."

Same as the State of Yu.

The Wu Kingdom also established a Taoist temple to cultivate talents in cultivating immortals.

And people have already arrived at Qingwei Sect.

Once all students from Yuguo Taoist Academy arrive, Qingwei Sect will begin the entrance examination.

This is different from the ordinary immortal sect assessment.

More places available.

It is estimated that this is one of the conditions for the Qingwei Sect to establish its own sect across the two countries of Yu and Wu.

It is also one of the most important responsibilities of Li Rui and Sang Kong.

Sang Kong has been running around a lot on this matter these days.

Now it's Li Rui's turn.

"They are all lively young people. They are really a headache."

Li Rui smiled slightly.

This difficult matter is not only about taking care of the Qingwei Sect, but also the students of the Taoist Academy.

As the first batch of students in Taoist Academy.

Many of them are descendants of high-ranking officials and their identities are not simple.

Even Li Rui and Sang Kong had to be careful.

It is probably the same as the chief examiner of the imperial examination.

In just this short month, Li Rui received so many greeting letters that they piled up half a person's height.

Among them, this is the most special one.

It was sent from Marquis Annan.

It was written by Yuan Dingting himself.

What Li Rui did not expect was that Marquis Annan actually sent his son to the Taoist temple, and he would soon come to Qingwei Sect.

As for why I wrote the letter.

But it originated from an old story.

In order to escape his background as a groom, Li Rui became a retainer of the Annan Marquis's Mansion, which meant he was the young master's tutor.

But the prince was still young, so he had never fulfilled his responsibility of teaching.

Later he became a viscount and then an earl.

Your status has become more valuable.

It is obviously inappropriate to continue to be a teacher in the Marquis's Mansion.

But the matter of teaching has always remained.

I heard that the young master is now fourteen years old, which is the age for him to get married and have children in ordinary times. It is obvious that Lord Yuan wants his son to go out and gain more experience.

Li Rui was actually the protector chosen by Yuan Dingting for his own prince.

Li Rui didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

He had once been protected by Marquis Annan, which was a favor.

There is no such thing as undeserved favor in the world. Once you have received it, you must return it.

He had not been qualified to repay before. Obviously, Lord Yuan now felt that the time had come to repay.

Li Rui ran around for three days.

Relying on his connections with the Qingwei Sect, everything was quickly arranged.

Much calmer than Sang Kong.

This day.

A large ship came flying in the sky and landed in front of the Qingwei Sect's gate.

Wait until everyone on the boat has disembarked.

It shrank again instantly.

It turns into a palm-sized ship model, which is really magical.

"Brother Yuan."

Li Rui, who had already received the news and was waiting in front of the mountain gate, walked forward with a loud laugh.

This is the first time that students from the Taoist Academy practice Taoism.

The imperial court attached great importance to this matter.

Not only the students were sent to Qingwei Sect, but also strong men were invited to escort them to other immortal sects, just to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

The one who escorted them to Qingwei Sect this time was Yuan Xiong.

"Brother Li, congratulations."

Yuan Xiong smiled.

He had heard about Li Rui's breakthrough.

Now Li Rui is like him and Nie Siming, both are masters in the Tongxuan realm.

After that, he pointed to an old man who looked like a Confucian scholar and said:

"This is the horse master of the South Daoyuan."

The magic ship just now was the work of Master Ma.

Li Rui smiled and clasped his fists: "Mr. Ma."

The Taoist elder named Ma Xuan returned the greeting: "Ma Xuan, greetings to Master Li."

The State of Yu established five Taoist temples in the east, south, west, north and center.

The strongest among them is of course the Zhongdaoyuan located in the capital city, and the other four Taoist temples are not much different.

Most of the teachers in the Taoist academy were hired from various major immortal sects at a high price.

Maybe it’s because of Yuan Dingting.

The Southern Dao Academy was not located in Shuzhou, the most powerful province, but in Yunzhou.

Li Rui has a great reputation in Yunzhou.

Naturally, the elder of the Southern Daoist Academy had heard of it.

"This is Taoist Priest Zi Yang of the Qingwei Sect."

Li Rui introduced Taoist Zi Yang.

Taoist Zi Yang laughed and said, "You have come from afar, the test will be held in three days, you can take a rest."

Some pleasantries.

Only then did Li Rui bring dozens of students from the State of Yu to Changqing Peak to stay temporarily.

Every student looked nervous.

Many of them had gone through untold hardships to enter the Taoist temple. If they could be admitted to the Qingwei Sect, they would have a bright future. But if they could not, their best way out would be to return to their hometown and become a minor official.

A cultivator does not become noble because of his cultivation, but because of his strength.

But among the many students, there were a few who seemed a little different.

There was no sign of nervousness at all, and his whole body exuded nobility.

It is an innate temperament.

Ordinary people can’t learn it even if they want to.

These people were led by a handsome young man.

"Sir."

Li Rui called out.

When those people saw Li Rui and Yuan Xiong appear, they all made way obediently.

Their backgrounds were distinguished, but they had no capital to act arrogantly in front of these two masters of the Tongxuan realm.

Those dandies who ignore the situation and act recklessly are villains that only exist in novels.

Very little, in fact.

They all knew how to assess the situation and knew that Li Rui and Yuan Xiong should not be provoked.

When the handsome young man saw Li Rui appear, he immediately saluted and said, "Hello, Mr. Li."

note.

He addressed Li Rui as "Sir" instead of "Sir".

A smile appeared on Li Rui's lips.

The prince of Annan, nicknamed Huzi, does not have any arrogant temper at all.

"His Royal Highness."

Yuan An, the son of Annan Marquis, looked at Li Rui with a smile: "Mr. Li, when I was four years old, my father asked me to be your disciple, and I have never forgotten it."

He does not mean that.

The eyes of several noble families around him looked at Li Rui with awe in an instant.

Of course they knew Yuan An's identity.

The son of Yuan Dingting, the military saint and Marquis of Annan in Dayu, his status was so prominent that it was even not inferior to that of the imperial prince.

It's normal for Yuan An to have a teacher.

Who doesn’t have a teacher at home?

But generally speaking, calling him "sir" is enough, but Yuan An actually took the initiative to call Li Rui "master", and it seemed that it was Yuan Dingting's request.

That's amazing.

Prince's teacher!
He is the prince's teacher of the Annan Marquisate, so how could they not be surprised.

Li Rui smiled slightly.

What Yuan An said just now was really flattering him.

He is not worthy of the identity of the prince's teacher.

What would happen if Yuan Dingting found out?

You know, this identity corresponds to the chief aide in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, who is a grandmaster in the celestial realm, and his reputation and strength are much stronger than his.

"Your Highness is talking nonsense, but I cannot bear it."

At this time.

Yuan Xiongcai smiled and said, "Huzi, you must remember your foster father's words. Now that you have come to Qingwei Sect, you must forget your identity. If you don't understand something, always ask Mr. Li for advice."

"Yes, yes, Starling."

Yuan An looked at Yuan Xiong in a flattering manner.

In the Annan Marquis' Mansion, he was almost invincible, except when he met his brothers.

Among them, Yuan Xiong was the most severe.

When Yuan Xiong was still in the Marquis' Mansion, he was kicked many times.

In response, the Marquis and his wife chose to ignore it.

Yuan Xiong then looked at Li Rui and said, "Brother Li, Tiger is now in your hands. Don't be reluctant to let him go. Just kick him as you like."

Hear the words.

The corner of Yuan An's mouth twitched.

He still remembers the time when Yuan Xiong and Nie Siming treated him like a ball to play with.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The assessment of students from the Yu and Wu countries began.

The examiners were Taoist Zi Yang and an elder who was also at the Tong Xuan realm.

After the two of them discussed with Li Rui and Sang Kong.

The assessment has been simplified into two steps.

The first level is to enter a magic formation and test your character.

The second stage is the trial to leave the sect, which tests the ability to respond.

As for testing spiritual roots and so on.

It had been verified as early as when I was in the Taoist Academy, and the Taoist Academy had already issued an assessment, which would also serve as the basis for the final assessment.

After several rounds of consultations among the three parties.

The number of places was finally confirmed to be fifty.

Compared with the Qingwei Sect's immortal gate examination, the probability is much higher.

Li Rui, Sang Kong and others stood on the high platform.

"There are still some good seedlings this time."

Taoist Zi Yang said with a smile.

The disciples who joined the Qingwei Sect were talented, and he was happy to see them succeed.

This is a win-win situation.

While talking.

Then the elder of Qingwei Sect was seen making hand gestures to perform a magic spell, and then a curtain of light instantly covered the sky in front of the Dharma Hall, and colorful psychedelic smoke slowly rose.

The mind-confusing formation!

Li Rui is originally a formation master.

Seeing this confusing formation, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Fourth-order formation!

This is incredible.

The Qingwei Sect had made sufficient preparations for this assessment.

Li Rui touched his chin:
"If it is used as a mountain protection formation for Changqing Peak, it will be very useful in combination with the Reversing Five Elements Formation."

Just as Li Rui was thinking.

One by one, students from the Yu and Wu countries walked into the formation.

Then all kinds of strange howls were heard.

Either an unbridled laugh or a scream of extreme fear.

Soon.

A disciple rushed out from behind the confusing formation.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

crazy.
