Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 443 It's my turn [Two in one, more chapters, please vote for me!!]

Li Rui looked at the change in Yuan An's expression and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

'It's a good seedling.'

This is the evaluation in my heart.

Since Yuan Dingting asked him to temper Yuan An's character, he would of course do his best, after all, he is the eleventh in the world.

In his opinion.

Yuan An is already very good.

But he was just stubborn and wanted to get rid of his identity as a prince and walk the world as an ordinary person.

Does that mean you can be ordinary just because you want to?

Yuan An was destined to never experience the kind of life where one had to fight for a steamed bun.

Li Rui knew.

Although Yuan An appears to be humble on weekdays, he is actually very ambitious.

He wants to copy his father's ways.

But because of different backgrounds, it is destined that things cannot be the same. Experiencing life and living are two different things.

It's not necessary either.

In Li Rui's opinion, what Yuan An should do is to know how to make use of his own advantages.

Everyone has his or her own path.

Rising against the wind is indeed legendary.

But it is not a bad idea to be born at the highest point and then use the momentum to crush others along the way.

As far as he knew, the Great Wizard of the Wizard Country was born into the most noble family in the Wizard Country, had never suffered any hardship in his life, and yet he reached the highest position in the end.

If you endure hardship without any effort, you will end up in a inferior situation.

He had been watching most of the time, looking for an opportunity to wake Yuan An up.

Today is a good opportunity.

Yuan An seemed to understand something.

He straightened his expression and bowed deeply to Li Rui: "Thank you for your advice, Master."

Today's Master spoke with extra seriousness.

The previous master was the one that Yuan Dingting asked him to call.

After today, he called voluntarily.

Li Rui turned slightly to the side and did not accept Yuan An's greeting. He laughed and said, "Your Highness will understand these principles sooner or later. I just said it in advance."

Yuan An didn't think so.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as enlightenment in the world.

Practicing martial arts requires guidance, and the same goes for one’s character.

All equally priceless.

About ten days passed.

Yuan An ran up the mountain excitedly: "Master, something happened."

Li Rui looked at Yuan An who was excited.

Something happened, there's no point in being happy.

However, considering that the other party was the prince, he asked kindly: "Your Highness, what happened?"

Yuan An: "Master is really a man of foresight. A few days ago, a team of Qingwei Sect disciples went to investigate a case of a village demon cultivator. Guess what? They all never came back. It's very likely that they are in great danger."

That's why he was so excited.

It is probably because I truly feel how to make proper use of my identity.

If he insisted on disguising himself as an ordinary person, he might be among those who disappeared this time.

Yuan An was reviewing the situation.

Li Rui has more to think about.

You don’t have to worry about Yuan An’s identity, but you have to ask about his status.

This does sound strange.

Generally speaking, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. Before joining the immortal sect, the upright cultivators will be warned by the sect elders not to kill mortals indiscriminately.

As for the demon cultivators, there are not so many rules.

But generally speaking, they will not kill mortals.

Unless it's useful.

For example, refining the soul flag.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes. If it was really as he thought, then it would be necessary to ask Taoist Zi Yang to pay more attention.

As for him.

Of course I won't take risks.

Firstly, the demon cultivator is in the Witch Country, and secondly, the missing person is a disciple of the Qingwei Sect. What he told Yuan An also applies to himself.

It's just a precaution in advance, in case the evil cultivator really tries to refine magic weapons like the Soul Banner and sneaks into the Yu State to cause trouble.

The next day.

Li Rui sent Liu Tiezhu to Ziyang Peak to invite Taoist Ziyang to Changqing Peak for a drink.

After what happened last time.

The relationship between Taoist Zi Yang and Li Rui became much closer.

While drinking.

While chatting, Li Rui told Taoist Zi Yang about the evil cultivators in the village.

Taoist Zi Yang heard this.

He immediately thanked Li Rui and said frankly that he would definitely ask the sect's masters to investigate.

Wu Kingdom, a village.

"Strange, why did Qingwei Sect send a fourth-rank to check it out?"

The Taoist priest Wan Gui hid in the woods outside the village, squinting his eyes as he looked at several Taoist priests who were carefully checking the dead silent village.

Not bad.

The villager puppet demon cultivator that the Qingwei Sect disciples are investigating is him.

Taoist Wan Gui considered himself to be cautious.

He only attacked some mortals, and the ones sent by Qingwei Sect before were some outer disciples.

Unexpectedly, this time, the best people in the inner sect were directly sent to investigate.

Of course he didn't take a fourth-rank person seriously.

But he knew that the Qingwei Sect would usually have ratings before assigning tasks.

Different levels of danger will lead to different levels of sent disciples.

This time, a fourth-rank
"Could it be that the Qingwei Sect has already noticed something?"

There are many powerful people in Qingwei Sect.

If he were discovered and surrounded by those Taoists, he would be doomed to death.

The Taoist Master Wan Gui has been lurking in the dark.

Until he watched the Qingwei Sect group leave.

Only then did he begin to think about it.

"It seems that things cannot be delayed any longer. We still need to find a way to refine Li Rui in advance."

Finished thinking.

The Taoist Master Wan Gui did not return to the village, but flew towards the direction of Shiwan Mountains.

"You mean the demon cultivator has not been found?"

Li Rui was a little surprised.

This day.

Taoist Zi Yang took the initiative to come to Changqing Peak to have a drink with him, and the two talked about this matter during their conversation.

"Well, I ordered my eldest disciple to go check it out. The demon cultivator was cunning and had already killed all the people in the village and turned them into corpses. He himself had already escaped."

"These demon cultivators are truly cruel and ruthless."

Taoist Zi Yang said.

He added: "At present, it seems that the demon cultivator is afraid, so he chooses to cut off his tail to survive."

Li Rui listened quietly.

It seemed like what Taoist Zi Yang said, the demon cultivator was afraid, so he abandoned the village and fled away.

He took a sip of his wine, thoughtfully.

Zi Yang said: "That evil cultivator is causing trouble to the world. Our Qingwei Sect is a famous immortal sect, so we will not let him go."

The matter of the demon cultivator is omitted.

Elder Ziyang talked about another matter:
"By the way, Brother Li, I went to ask Elder Fu about what you mentioned before. He said that it was the Linghua Formation that Brother Li wanted, but Elder Fu needed ten high-grade spirit stones before he was willing to trade."

Ten high-quality spirit stones!

Li Rui chuckled.

It's really a big mouth.

Although the Linghua Formation is a third-level formation, it is a relatively niche type of third-level formation and is not of high value.

You know, most third-level formations only require five or six high-quality spirit stones.

Taoist Ziyang also knew that this was a little far-fetched, so he smiled bitterly:
"Brother Li, you also know that formation masters are often obsessed with studying formations, and most of them have strange temperaments."

Li Rui still clasped his fists:

"Thank you for troubling Brother Ziyang with this matter."

"It's just something I said casually. It's not a big deal. I feel guilty for not being able to help Brother Li."

Taoist Zi Yang waved his hands quickly.

after that.

Li Rui never mentioned the formation again.

As for why he went to Taoist Zi Yang to buy the formation, on the surface he said that the Yu Kingdom court needed it again, but in fact, it was because his formation was about to break through.

This day.

On the Evergreen Peak.

Li Rui pushed the door open and looked at Liu Tiezhu who was swinging a sledgehammer in the yard.

Since I came to Qingwei Sect.

Apart from forging iron, Liu Tiezhu spends most of his time practicing hammering.

Although they both learned Tie Kuang's hammer qi method.

But to talk about it.

Li Rui's hammer qi method had long been transformed into the invisible, and he only got the true meaning. In comparison, Liu Tiezhu's method was more pure, as he not only learned the meaning, but also mastered the form.

He is the most worthy successor of the Iron Crazy Hammer Qi Technique.

"Master."

Seeing Li Rui leaving, Liu Tiezhu put down the sledgehammer in his hand and spoke with a grin.

Li Rui: "Tiezhu, prepare the car, and go out for a walk."

"Okay."

Liu Tiezhu agreed without even thinking: "Master, where are we going?"

"Just clear the river."

The day.

The two of them went down Changqing Peak.

But what puzzled Liu Tiezhu was that Li Rui actually asked him to slow down deliberately, and it took him a full seven days just to get out of Shiwan Mountain.

The carriage was moving very slowly.

The demon horse's four hooves made a clattering sound as it walked leisurely on the official road.

It's almost no different from a donkey pulling goods.

Liu Tiezhu sat outside the car, holding a bamboo whip from somewhere.

The horse pulling the cart is a demon horse.

It is very human-like and is a top-grade demon horse selected from the Imperial Stables in Annan Town. It does not need to be whipped or driven.

It's just that Liu Tiezhu wanted to satisfy his desire to be a horse groom.

At this rate, it will take at least five or six days to reach Qinghe.

Although Liu Tiezhu didn't know why his master did this, he would be happy to do so as long as he could get rid of the Qingwei Sect.

'I've got nothing to do.'

at this time.

Li Rui was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the carriage, his hands moving and the spells kept changing.

There were seven or eight small flags flying in front of Li Rui.

Looking closely, it turns out to be in line with the art of the Big Dipper.

next moment.

Li Rui's sleeves began to flutter without wind.

only.

What made the sleeves blow was not the evergreen energy, but the formation intention.

Li Rui made hand gestures at an increasingly faster speed. If there was a formation master present, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was the long-lost Lotus Heart Formation.

Just a moment.

"rise!"

Following a light scolding from Li Rui.

He actually set up a third-order lotus heart formation in the carriage.

One thought creates a formation!
Third-level formation master!

A formation master at the third level is like a warrior at the profound level.

It represents that the formation can connect heaven and earth, and the power of the formation will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Think again.

The small formation flag shrank in an instant, and finally turned into seven small dots and fell into Li Rui's palm.

If Coltrane were here.

Seeing this scene would definitely shock you beyond words.

Just because Li Rui had just broken through to the third level, he was able to accomplish the void formation that only a second-level formation master could do!

Looking at the small formation in his palm.

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

Become!

From then on, he no longer needed to slow down, and could completely move the formation with him. This was also the method by which Li Rui had studied the art of formation for many years and had developed his own method of moving the formation.

The ability to set up a void formation is an ability that only a second-level formation master can possess.

As a third-level formation master who had just broken through, it was naturally impossible for him to completely look down on the second-level, not even with the Dongtian Gate.

This is equivalent to Tongxuan challenging the celestial phenomena beyond his level.

He can also speak the law of heaven.

Something that is simply impossible.

Li Rui was able to do this because, firstly, Dongtianmen really gave him extraordinary talent, and secondly, he was actually taking shortcuts.

The range of his void formation is extremely small.

Can only protect yourself.

It is simply not comparable to those mountain protection formations, and the only other formation it can use is the Lotus Heart Formation.

No other formations will work.

Very restrictive.

But for Li Rui, it was enough.

Since then.

No need to worry about your secrets being discovered.

This moment.

Li Rui just felt relaxed all over, and smiled more unconsciously, and finally laughed out loud.

Liu Tiezhu, who was outside the car, heard laughter from inside the car.

I couldn't help scratching my head:
"Master, what happy thing happened?"

Li Rui: "Nothing, nothing."

The carriage finally arrived at Qinghe City.

But what Liu Tiezhu did not expect was that Li Rui did not return to the Annan Town camp, but took Liu Tiezhu to a remote alley to drink noodle porridge.

"Shopkeeper, two bowls of porridge and two white cakes."

Li Rui found a seat in the corner and sat down familiarly.

He parked the carriage outside the alley.

The owner of the noodle and porridge shop is an honest middle-aged man.

"Okay."

Just responded and finished.

Two bowls of steaming noodle porridge were brought up, along with two white pancakes that looked very pleasing to the eye and were bigger than the face.

"Yeah, it still tastes the same as before."

Li Rui praised.

If I remember correctly, he has outlasted four generations of owners of this noodle and porridge shop.

Liu Tiezhu finished eating quickly and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

He originally wanted to wait for Li Rui to finish eating and then go to Annan Town, but he didn't expect that Li Rui used the last bit of white bread to wipe up the last bit of porridge at the bottom of the bowl and put it into his mouth.

Clapped his hands:

"Let's go back."

Liu Tiezhu habitually said, "Okay, but I haven't seen you for a long time."

But Li Rui said: "Who said it was Annan Town? It was back to Shiwan Mountain."

One listen.

Liu Tiezhu was stunned.

Traveling thousands of miles just for a bowl of porridge?

Li Rui smiled.

Didn't say anything either.

Little did he know that he had broken through the formation on the way here.

"Haha, Lord Li, how come you have time to come?"

Ke Chuan looked at Li Rui who got off the parked carriage and greeted him with a smile.

Ever since Zhu Qian failed to break through.

The whole person became much more irritable.

Except for the three guards including Ke Chuan, everyone else was beaten and scolded at will. It was said that every once in a while, many maids and servants in the mansion would be beaten to death for a small mistake.

The temperament changes greatly.

In order to avoid being alone, Li Rui came to Ling Mine less often than before.

"Mr. Ke."

Li Rui clasped his fists.

Ke Chuan looked Li Rui up and down and said, "Master Li, the formation has improved again. I said before that the method of moving the formation is a minor skill. Don't spend too much time on it."

Of course, he couldn't see Li Rui's true attainments in formations.

Yet one can detect progress.

Li Rui laughed and nodded: "I have indeed realized something recently."

He certainly wouldn't tell Coltrane.

In just a dozen years, his attainments in the art of formations had caught up with Ke Chuan's hundred years of hard study.

After exchanging pleasantries with Kechuan.

He then returned to the Lingkuang mansion.

Seeing the evil puppet formation again gave me a very different feeling.

If it was before, it was like seeing flowers in the fog, and it was impossible to see clearly, so we could only take shortcuts and procrastinate. But now, the situation is very different.

Li Rui saw clearly every foundation of the evil puppet formation.

Suddenly.

Li Rui frowned slightly.

"Has that evil master been here?"

He noticed that the evil puppet formation in the mansion was several times more ferocious than before, and it was obviously strengthened by the evil formation master.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then he came to the door again.

While talking to the two guards at the door, he quietly sensed the breath of the two men.

My heart sank.

Those two people have been transformed into human puppets.

Moreover, his method was extremely sophisticated, and I'm afraid even he himself couldn't discover it.

Li Rui had originally reserved a means to delay the effect of the evil puppet formation on the two people so that they would not be hit so quickly.

It should be the work of the evil array master himself.

'You're running out of patience?'

Li Rui walked back into the room.

There was a dangerous cold light flashing in his eyes.

Shiwan Mountain, a hidden forest.

"You mean, Li Rui went to the spiritual mine again?"

The Taoist Master Wan Gui, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes.

The young monk from the Qingwei Sect stood in front of him and answered respectfully, "Yes, I have been here for three days."

"good very good."

The corner of Wan Gui Taoist's mouth slightly raised.

"you"

"You can be free now."

I saw the Taoist Wan Gui reaching out his big hand to grab the young monk from Qingwei Sect.

The pupils of the young monk from Qingwei Sect were instantly filled with fear, but no matter how he struggled, he could not move even a step.

puff!
My head exploded in an instant.

Red and white objects were scattered all over the ground, and the young monk's body fell to one side with a thud.

It's already dead and can't die anymore.

Do it all.

The Taoist Master Wan Gui smiled even more.

How careful he is in what he does.

Of course, it is impossible to leave any trouble for yourself.

Ever since he discovered that the Qingwei Sect might have discovered him last time, he has been planning to close the net in advance.

Anyway, Li Rui has been in the evil puppet formation for several years.

Most of it has been converted.

He specially strengthened the evil puppet formation so that he could forcibly refine Li Rui.

Add to that the psychedelic formation, as long as it is done quickly enough.

The strong men in the Yuguo Spiritual Mine will not find out.

Once he succeeds, he will go far away and completely leave the Qingwei Sect area, perhaps going directly to Beiyuan to join the Beiji Xian Sect.

By then, even if the Qingwei Sect had great abilities, they would be unable to do anything to him.

Since you are leaving.

Of course, you can't leave any handle for yourself.

The only leverage he has over Qingwei Sect is this young disciple who was transformed into a human puppet.

The Taoist Master Wan Gui secretly said what a pity:
"I originally wanted to make you an inner disciple, but you are not that blessed."

Placing an inner sect disciple there would be of great help to the Taoist Master Wan Gui.

But compared with Li Rui, he still chose to give up.

Kill to prevent any accidents.

Do it all.

The Taoist Master Wan Gui flew towards the spiritual mine.

tonight.

Li Rui must be transformed into a human puppet!

Yu State Spiritual Mine.

Teams of soldiers patrolled the camp.

High security.

This was the arrangement made by the Fifth Prince. It had been several years since the demonic rebellion, and the situation should have been relaxed. However, Zhu Qian went even further, making it even more severe and demanding even more stringent.

The soldiers below were all suffering terribly.

But Zhu Qian's status was too noble and no one dared to resist.

In a magnificent mansion.

The yard was dark.

There is not a single light.

Liu Tiezhu had been sent by Li Rui to Yuan Xiong's mansion. Li Rui was the only one in such a huge mansion.

How could it not be deserted?

at this time.

Li Rui was sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

Close your eyes and meditate.

at the same time.

Outside the mansion.

A man in black slowly walked towards the gate of the mansion.

The two guards who were originally guarding the gate and talking and laughing suddenly became dull in an instant, as if they had lost their souls.

The man in black didn't even speak.

The two of them took the initiative to open the door.

The Taoist Master Wan Gui showed a satisfied smile. They were all refined into human puppets, so of course they had no choice but to obey him.

That's it.

He entered the house without any hindrance.

Even the patrolling guards couldn't see any clues.

Make sure it is in the center of the courtyard.

Taoist Wan Gui narrowed his eyes and looked towards a house.

That was Li Rui's room.

The doors and windows were closed and it was pitch dark.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and without any hesitation, he immediately began to make hand gestures and activated the evil puppet formation and the psychedelic formation.

If nothing else happens.

Li Rui is now deeply rooted in evil.

As long as he used his great magic power to refine it by force, Li Rui would have no chance to resist.

He had known about it a long time ago.

Li Rui has only broken through to Tongxuan for more than ten years. At this age, he is at most at the initial stage in Tongxuan.

And he reached the highest level!

Not to mention that he also deliberately set up the evil puppet formation.

It was not unfair for Li Rui to be refined.

But just when Taoist Wan Gui activated the formation and prepared to refine it, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

He was surprised to find out.

Li Rui was no longer in the room.

At this moment, there was only a piece of yellow paper in the room, which was riddled with holes due to the evil energy of the evil puppet formation.

Stand-in!
The pupils of Wan Gui Taoist priest shrank instantly, and his expression became extremely ugly.

At this time.

A figure sounded from behind him.

"End?"

"Then it's my turn."
