Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 413: Ascend to the World Martial Arts Review
"Li Rui?"

Chen Ming spoke slowly.

Li Rui clasped his fists and said, "Brother Chen, nice to see you again."

In the past, regardless of one's superiority, one had to call him Senior Chen. But now that two people are in the same realm, there is no need to be too modest, otherwise people will look down on him. Just call him an equal.

At this time.

Yuan Xiong also spoke: "Yunzhou, Yuan Xiong."

Chen Ming was somewhat surprised: "The adopted son of Marquis Annan?"

He didn't expect to see the adopted son of the famous military saint Yuan Dingting in Shu, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

"Exactly."

Yuan Xiong nodded.

There was more surprise in Chen Ming's eyes.

Li Rui: "Brother Chen, I don't know why you came to Red Wind Valley. Qingwei Sect is conducting a trial here, please give us some convenience."

"Qingwei Sect?"

Chen Ming really knew about Qingwei Sect, an immortal sect entrenched in the southern border of Yu State.

"Don't worry, I came here because I heard that there was a demon riot in Chifeng Mountain, so I came here to fight against the demons. Since Qingwei Sect has taken action, this is great."

Li Rui couldn't help but look at Chen Ming a few more times.

I have heard that there are many heroes in Shu.

Jiannan is mountainous and has many monsters.

But there has never been any news of a great monster wreaking havoc in the world, because most of the heroes in Shu take it as their mission to slay monsters and eliminate evil.

Although Li Rui is not a chivalrous man, he appreciates such behavior very much.

He smiled slightly: "In that case, Brother Chen, we have some official business to attend to, so I will leave first."

But just as he and Yuan Xiong were about to turn around and leave.

But Chen Ming stopped him.

"Master Li, I have something else to say. Can I have a word with you?"

Hear the words.

Li Rui glanced at Yuan Xiong and said, "Brother Yuan, I will go there. You go back to Red Wind Valley first, to prevent the prince from encountering any disaster."

Yuan Xiong nodded and left first.

Seeing Yuan Xiong completely leave, Chen Ming spoke quietly: "Xia Yun has good vision. No wonder she was so optimistic about you back then."

Li Rui chuckled: "The Fourth Prince's wife is indeed the smartest person in the world."

Chen Ming sighed softly:
"Master Li, do you know why I want to cooperate with Xia Yun?"

Li Rui blinked.

In fact, he later investigated Chen Ming.

Chen Ming wandered around Shu all his life and seldom went out. His connection with Xia Yun, the third princess of Wu Kingdom, might be that they were once sworn brothers who died in Wu Kingdom while performing a mission.

Then, Chen Ming appeared in Qinghe and joined forces with Xia Yun to repel the enemy.

There's a big chunk missing in the middle.

"The Fourth Prince's wife is known for her intelligence, so it is reasonable for Brother Chen to be willing to help her."

Li Rui pretended not to know.

Chen Ming's eyes became firm: "I admit that I was wrong. Xia Yun is right. Maybe you are really a good partner."

"cooperate?"

Just when Li Rui was confused.

Chen Ming said, "Lord Li may not know that Xia Yun and I became friends because we became sworn brothers. We have a deep friendship and were childhood friends. Later, he went to the Wu Kingdom and became a shadow guard of the Wu Kingdom. Then he died."

Li Rui heard the word "shadow guard".

His expression brightened.

The rumors were indeed concealed.

The so-called Wu Kingdom Shadow Guard is actually an organization equivalent to the Yu Kingdom Secret Guard, specially set up to deal with banished immortals.

Chen Ming continued, "The last time I saw my brother, he told me that he was going to look for something, but he was killed before he found it."

"He asked for it. It would be a relief if he died, but as his brother, I have to ask for an explanation."

"I killed the man who killed him."

"I want to help him find what he's looking for."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

I guess that thing is the reason why he joined forces with Xia Yun.

Chen Ming: "Lord Li, do you want to know what that thing is?"

Li Rui said nothing, just listened quietly.

Chen Ming did not keep the secret and gave the answer directly: "It is a spiritual mine."

Spiritual mine?

Hearing these two words, Li Rui's pupils shrank slightly.

He heard these two words from Wu De from the world of immortal cultivation.

In the world of cultivating immortals, besides absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the most important thing is undoubtedly the spirit stone.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in a small spiritual stone is extremely abundant and even more refined.

It is the hard currency in the world of immortal cultivation.

A piece of spirit stone cannot be called a mine. There must be a lot of it. Very much of it.

Even in the world of immortal cultivation, spiritual minerals are the exclusive property of all the major immortal sects.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is reviving, and spiritual mines will appear!

Li Rui's expression became solemn.

He seemed to have seen the bloody storm.

Chen Ming stared at Li Rui: "Xia Yun wants to find the spiritual mine to revive the Wu Kingdom. I want to find the spiritual mine to give my brother a result. I heard that Lord Li is practicing in Qingwei Sect. If he can get the spiritual mine, it may be possible for him to enter the celestial phenomenon. We can cooperate."

Li Rui was silent.

It would be a lie to say I'm not excited about Lingkuang.

In the world of cultivating immortals, wealth, companions, magic and land are often mentioned. The most important wealth most of the time refers to spirit stones.

As long as there are enough spirit stones, you can create a god by piling them up.

Anyone would be moved.

But what Chen Ming didn't expect was that Li Rui shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to live a stable life. I will pretend that I didn't hear anything about today."

"Farewell."

Done.

Li Rui left without looking back.

Chen Ming looked at Li Rui's departing back, his eyes flickering.

"Spiritual mine."

Returning to Chifeng Valley, Li Rui seemed to be thinking about something.

The spiritual mine matter is too big.

As a master of physics he was not qualified to participate at all. It was a major event for the entire country and sect.

Those banished immortals probably came for the spiritual mine.

Although Xia Yun is now the consort of the fourth prince of Yu State, she is also the third princess of Wu State. When Wu State wants to find a spiritual mine, they actually ask her, an official of Yu State, to do it. This is problematic no matter how you look at it.

As for what Chen Ming said, it was to help his brother fulfill his last wish.

Maybe it's true.

A hero is a hero, and appreciation is appreciation.

But Li Rui prefers to think the worst of people.

He now possesses immortal spiritual roots and has the Eternal Green Technique, which means he has already reached the path to immortality. The only thing left is a matter of time.

If he was caught up in the fight for the spiritual mine, he would lose his life.

That would be a case of losing the big picture for the small.

Even if he wanted to look for spiritual mines, he had to do it in an honest way. He knew very well that he couldn't have it all to himself.

Dazzling.

Three days passed.

The demonic rebellion in the Red Wind Valley was quelled.

The performance of those students was recorded by Taoist Zi Yang, and finally the outer disciples were selected based on the Taoist academy's evaluation.

Prince Yuan An naturally escaped unharmed.

Moreover, Li Rui had already inquired in advance that the performance would be at least A-level.

Although not the best, it is more than enough to join the Qingwei Sect.

Otherwise, Li Rui would have to use his connections to ask Taoist Zi Yang to make some minor adjustments.

If Yuan An was rejected by Qingwei Sect, he would have no way to explain to Yuan Dingting.

Subsequently.

Taoist Zi Yang raised the magic weapon banner again and carried a group of students back to Shiwan Mountain.

at dusk.

Everyone appeared in front of the mountain gate of Qingwei Sect.

"Brother Li, why do you have to take a detour?"

On the way back, Li Rui took the initiative to find Taoist Zi Yang and suggested taking a detour.

Flying a full thousand miles more.

It was supposed to arrive at noon, but it was delayed until the evening.

Although Taoist Zi Yang was puzzled, he agreed because Li Rui had helped him a lot before.

Li Rui: "Red Wind Valley is unusual. I'm worried there might be a big monster. It's fine for us, but these students can't stand it."

Taoist Ziyang groaned for a moment, and then stopped worrying:

"Brother Li is really thoughtful."

Say it.

He took a group of students to the Dharma Hall.

The next step is to announce the assessment results.

Li Rui also followed.

As for why taking a detour.

He had to be on guard against others. If Chen Ming took action and hurt the students, he would have a hard time explaining himself. Soon.

The result of the assessment was determined, a total of twenty-seven people from the Yu Kingdom and twenty-three people from the Wu Kingdom were admitted to the Qingwei Sect.

All are happy.

If one side has too many people, Li Rui and Sang Kong will be unwilling to drink tea together for at least a long time.

Prince Yuan An was assigned to the Dharma Hall.

It is a very good career path for outer disciples.

"Mr. Li, Changqing Peak is good in every way, except for some flowers."

"Sir, you like quietness, so I found some orchids."

Yuan An said with a smile.

Li Rui nodded: "I do have a good intention. As long as His Royal Highness likes it, that's good."

Yuan An shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, I've already told you, just call me Hu Zi."

In the blink of an eye.

Yuan An has been in Qingwei Sect for three months.

He was assigned to the Dharma Hall.

With Li Rui's special arrangement, he got a leisurely job of guarding the Kung Fu Pavilion.

Therefore, Yuan An spends half of his time in Changqing Peak.

Liu Tiezhu even reserved a room for Yuan An.

Li Rui admired this intelligent and clever prince very much. Who would refuse a younger generation who sent treasures to his door every now and then?
However, he did not really consider himself as Yuan An's master.

I have always addressed him as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Even though Yuan An corrected it many times, it still remained the same.

Not everyone can call you Huzi.

At least Li Rui feels that he is not enough now.

Afterwards, Yuan An asked for some more magical skills and then left with satisfaction.

In fact, Yuan An understood everything Li Rui said.

Is it possible that the Marquis of Annan’s Mansion is missing some magical skills?
It's just a request from my parents.

Watching Yuan An leave.

Li Rui then withdrew his gaze, smiled and shook his head slightly.

The son of the Marquis of Annan had a good character, but he lacked experience after all. Perhaps this was the reason why Yuan Dingting sent his beloved son to the Qingwei Sect.

Focus your mind.

The Eternal Green Technique began to work.

There is a faint flash of green all over the body.

Li Rui's foundation in Tongxuan is now completely solid, and he has begun to advance towards the early stage of Tongxuan.

Using one's own spiritual power to draw the power of heaven and earth within ten feet around the body is considered as entering the initial realm of Tongxuan.

For Li Rui, all he had to do was follow the steps.

It can be achieved in seven or eight years at most.

This speed is not fast, but it is actually not slow either.

You know, when you reach the upper third level, although your life span is longer, it is extremely difficult to break through each level.

Not to mention far away.

Take the Taoist Zi Yang for example, and Chun Xu Zi, who was refined into the Thousand Souls Banner by him.

After decades of entering the realm of Tongxuan, I am still in the initial stage.

Every step is a chasm.

Not to mention that Tongxuan will eventually need to comprehend the great way of heaven and earth, which will trap countless heroes.

And he.

There are no such concerns.

With the Immortal Root and the Eternal Green Technique, there is no bottleneck at all. The only drawback is that it is too steady and cautious, so it does not appear outstanding.

It’s also good not to stand out.

This was exactly what Li Rui wanted.

When cultivating immortality, being down-to-earth is the most important thing.

Li Rui is not one of those young geniuses who only want to make a sudden success. What he lacks the least is patience.

Practice the Eternal Green Technique daily.

He casually pocketed a few five-element stones.

Just go down the mountain for a stroll.

Those who practice Taoism all pursue immortality.

But in fact, these four words are separate. Longevity means a long life, and immortality means being free from all disasters.

Li Rui practiced the Eternal Green Technique, and his life span was much longer than that of ordinary people.

But this does not mean that he will definitely live to that time.

During a thousand years of time, there is always a possibility of encountering a disaster and dying along the way.

This is also the reason why cultivators generally practice magic to protect themselves. To cultivate Taoism, one must first cultivate life. If there is no life, everything is empty.

Even the young marquis of the Marquisate was forced to practice martial arts.

Not to mention someone like Li Rui who came from a humble background.

Although Li Rui was already a martial arts grandmaster and extremely powerful among his peers, he still felt unsure, so he also practiced talismans and formations.

First of all.

Of course, the goal is to make Changqing Peak indestructible.

As Li Rui threw out a five-element stone.

A wisp of colorful smoke suddenly rose up.

If there is someone familiar with it, he will definitely recognize it. It is the Bewildering Array.

Cultivation takes no time.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Li Rui was meditating in the room, and then he heard knocks on the door.

open the door.

Then they saw Ning Zhongtian and three others standing at the door with red faces.

Li Rui chuckled: "What's going on? A breakthrough?"

Ning Zhongtian grinned: "No, it's more interesting than our breakthrough."

talking.

He raised the copy of the official bulletin in his hand.

"The world's martial arts review has come out."

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

I have been so busy practicing these days that I have forgotten about this matter.

"Can it be divided into two versions?"

He couldn't help but be curious.

There have been rumors before that many immortal sects have emerged in the world, and the world's martial arts evaluation will be divided into two lists: martial arts and immortal.

"No, no."

Ning Zhongtian smiled and shook his head: "Gu Jianzheng said that all the great ways in the world have the same destination, we are all one family."

Li Rui was speechless.

This is in line with Gu Changsheng's style.

However, he didn't expect that she would be so decisive.

Ning Zhongtian couldn't wait any longer.

He opened the copy of the court bulletin.

The four big words "World Martial Arts Review" appeared before his eyes.

'Number one, the best in the world!'

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

There are many banished immortals in the world, but none of them can shake the position of the Lord of East China Sea.

It was precisely because of this suppression by the world's number one that the word "martial arts" was not directly removed from the world's martial arts evaluation this time.

But except for this Gao Tianxia.

The top ten in the world have changed dramatically. Except for the Sword Emperor of Shu, the National Master and the Great Wizard who retained their top ten positions, the rest have been replaced.

Needless to say, they are naturally those banished immortals who have appeared in the world.

Yuan Dingting, on the other hand, only dropped two places and ranked eleventh.

This shows the true value of this military saint.

A total of 1,375 people were selected for this martial arts evaluation.

It is twice as much as last time.

soon.

Ning Zhongtian finally found Li Rui's name in the official gazette.

"One thousand one hundred and thirty-seven, Li Rui."

Seeing that their eldest brother was on the list, and was able to suppress hundreds of Tongxuan after a breakthrough, they were all grinning from ear to ear.

Li Rui chuckled.

Little did he know that he had deliberately written a letter to Gu Changsheng requesting that the ranking be lowered.

He has now reached the third rank.

It's enough.

No matter how much fame you have, it is just a burden.

Just get on the list.

Just as Ning Zhongtian and the other three were having a heated discussion.

Lines of small words appeared in front of Li Rui.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced plot of Become Famous Throughout the World - World Martial Arts Review. ]
