Chapter 467 Overcoming the Tribulation

Chapter 467 Overcoming the Tribulation
"Brother Nie, Brother Yuan."

Li Rui looked at the old acquaintance who walked in with a smile on his face.

Not bad.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong were transferred back to the capital from Beiyuan by Prime Minister Zhang.

The two are now the guardians of Xunshansi.

As for Jiang Linxian, he had completely left Xunshansi and became a genuine deputy director of the Imperial Observatory.

Actually.

Not only Jiang Linxian, but several mountain guardians who used to hold other positions also returned to their original duties.

These are all the works of Prime Minister Zhang.

According to him, Xunshansi is not the secret guard of the past, so it must be cut off. Except for the seven guest officials, the rest must be regular officials registered in the Ministry of Personnel.

of course.

The Ministry of Personnel had almost no say in the appointment and dismissal of Xunshansi.

Who said that the chief of Xunshan Division was Prime Minister Zhang? Even the Minister of Personnel did not dare to stop him.

Originally He Qiannian was also invited, but was rejected.

Of course Li Rui knew.

He Qiannian's qi and meridians had been condensed by him again. Now he was concentrating on practicing hard, hoping to renew his martial arts meridians. How could he have the energy to get involved in the affairs of Xunshansi?

Understaffed.

Xunshansi is a government office that needs to face and kill immortal cultivators, so its military force cannot be weak.

It became inevitable to ask for people from Lord Yuan.

Nie Siming laughed and said, "Brother Li, my two brothers heard about your heroic deeds in Beiyuan. You blocked the celestial phenomenon. We brothers are ashamed of our ability."

Li Rui: "I was just taking advantage of the situation. Without the protection of the formation, I would not be a match for Xuanyu."

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong looked at each other.

Will they believe it?

I'm afraid that Li Rui has other means hidden besides the formation.

After all, they had experienced how powerful this old man was by receiving countless punches from him.

Yuan Xiong: "Oh, by the way, my eldest brother will come to the capital soon. Brother Li has rarely been to the Marquis' Mansion before, so he doesn't see my eldest brother very often. When my eldest brother arrives, we must get drunk together for three days."

Li Rui was somewhat surprised:

"Master, are you also going to work in the company?"

Yuan Xiong nodded: "Yes, it is the Holy Emperor's order."

After listening to Yuan Xiong's words.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

"It seems that the Holy Emperor is not as wary of Lord Yuan as the outside world has said."

Otherwise, there would not have been three adopted sons of Yuan Dingting placed in such an important government office as Xunshansi.

Meng Chong came north to look for Shansi. There was no doubt that it must be the deputy director who had not escaped.

Li Rui was even happier.

It turns out that when people become strong, they will have friends everywhere.

Three days later.

Meng Chong, the oldest adopted son of Yuan Dingting, even older than Yuan Dingting, came to the capital.

Meng Chong and the other two had just arrived in the capital.

There is no place to stay.

Ever since.

Li Rui simply invited the three of them to stay in his own house. With Yuan An's relationship, it didn't seem out of place at all.

Besides.

Jiang Linxian rarely went out, so she came to Li Rui's mansion.

Naturally, he was also familiar with Meng Chong and the other two.

"Sir, you've been traveling all the way. I brought this wine from Yunzhou. Please taste it tonight."

Li Rui poured the wine as he spoke.

He did not use the cup that scholars used when they gathered together, but directly used a bowl.

Several of them were from the military, so of course they didn't have those petty and sophisticated ways of doing things.

Meng Chong was calm and steady. He drank three bowls of wine and still spoke slowly: "Hu Zi is naughty. Thank you Mr. Li for your concern. I would like to thank Mr. Li on behalf of my adoptive father."

After that, there are three big bowls.

Li Rui waved his hand: "Hu Zi is my apprentice, it's only natural that I should care about him."

Meng Chong filled the glass again, and then he said, "Sir, it was really exciting to fight in the Qingwei Sect, and let the world know the power of our Great Yu."

He praised Li Rui highly.

Li Rui used his profound realm to block the celestial cultivator, which brought great honor to Yunzhou.

When he heard this in Yunzhou, he was very happy.

Now of course I have to say it to his face.

Before Li Rui could say anything, Nie Siming interrupted him with a smile: "Brother, I've said it before, Brother Li is a very capable person."

Meng Chong laughed and cursed:
"When did I ever question it?"

Jiang Linxian spoke at the right time: "Mr. Da has indeed been very optimistic about Brother Li for a long time."

Li Rui smiled and clasped his fists in a salute: "Thank you, sir."

Meng Chong waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li is Xiao Hu's master. According to seniority, he is our master. I should be the one to pay homage to him."

Hear the words.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong both grinned.

Good guy.

If they really follow what their eldest brother said, they will have to call Li Rui "Master" from now on.

The two couldn't help feeling depressed.

Ever since I met Li Rui, my seniority has been declining.

Li Rui would not be arrogant: "For us, the wisest among us should be the first, but we must not do that."

The two of them refused several times, and finally they called each other brothers.

Meng Chong looked at Jiang Linxian and Li Rui. At his age, the two of them were his juniors. He said slowly, "Yunzhou is a place where two celestial phenomena can appear. It is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

He was genuinely delighted.

Today, Yunzhou is Yuan Dingting's fiefdom. In theory, everyone in Yunzhou is considered Yuan Dingting's people.

There are not many celestial phenomena in the world.

There are even fewer celestial phenomena coming out of Yunzhou. Before Jiang Linxian’s breakthrough, the last celestial phenomenon coming out of Yunzhou dates back to a thousand years ago.

Now two have come out in one go.

Doesn’t this mean that Lord Yuan is a good ruler?

Yes.

Meng Chong already regarded Li Rui as being at the celestial realm.

Otherwise, with his arrogance, how could he easily become friends with others?

Meng Chong fought his way out of a pile of dead bodies. He was impressed by Yuan Dingting's terrifying fighting skills and was willing to become Yuan Dingting's adopted son.

There is no such thing as fear of the strong in those who fight.

For soldiers, strength is everything.

After the Qingwei Sect incident, he has acknowledged that Li Rui is of the same generation as him.

Nie Siming’s wish came true.

They were really drunk for three days.

Meng Chong then went to Xunshansi, where he was greeted personally by Prime Minister Zhang, with quite a grand ceremony.

after that.

Meng Chong officially became the deputy director of Xunshan Division.

Although the four rooms in the backyard are under the direct jurisdiction of Prime Minister Zhang and have little to do with Meng Chong, it will always be much more convenient to have more acquaintances in Xunshansi.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong are very busy.

Although he was given a mansion in the capital, he rarely lived there. Most of the time he was traveling outside to arrest cultivators who committed crimes.

It was precisely because there were more and more immortal cultivators that the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites were unable to manage them, so the Xunshan Division was specially established.

Even sometimes.

Meng Chong always led the team personally.

In comparison, Li Rui has much more free time.

It is said that formation masters and talisman masters have a high status.

If a warrior has the assistance of talismans and formations, his strength can be improved by at least 30%, and his ability to survive will also be greatly enhanced. Moreover, they are rare.

There were less than a hundred people in the four directions of the backyard, and most of them were helpers. The real formation masters and talisman masters were only good with two hands.

There are too few staff.

Therefore, Li Rui also needs to draw talismans and set up formations himself every day.

These talismans and formations are much more helpful to Xunshan Division than if Li Rui personally led the team to charge.

Therefore, even if Li Rui volunteered to go out of the city to carry out the mission, Prime Minister Zhang would not agree.

In this regard.

Li Rui was also very happy about it. Not only could he improve his talisman skills and formations, but he could also get a very generous salary of high-quality spirit stones for free. Naturally, there was no reason for him to refuse.

Life is comfortable.

Unknowingly.

A year passed quietly.

This night.

Taixu Taoist Temple, inside the house of Wanshou Taoist Lord.

"He Dao Qing Xuan, but he needs to pass the tribulation in his body?"

The old spirit was very surprised after hearing what Li Rui said: "Are you going to take the path of physical cultivation to the end?"

Li Rui nodded.

The old spirit circled around Li Rui several times, marveling at his performance.

"I know you are a physical cultivator and have practiced the Great Innate, but I didn't expect you to draw the lightning into your body. Although this method can temper the body, it is also very risky."

Physical cultivation is rare in this world.

There are even fewer physical cultivators who can directly invite the calamity into their bodies.

Even during the years he followed Wanshou Daojun, he rarely heard of such a situation.

I didn't expect to find a successor who would actually follow the path of pure physical cultivation.

I was surprised.

The old man pondered for a long time before speaking: "I have indeed seen this situation in some ancient books, so I will tell you. As for whether it will work, you will only know after trying it."

He did not ask Li Rui why he wanted to endure the tribulation in his body.

But after a long time together.

The old man also knew that Li Rui was a steady person and would not do useless things.

Since he wants to endure the tribulation within his body, he must have his reasons.

Say it.

The old man with the spirit of the weapon just jumped into the air.

Then a golden light shot into Li Rui's forehead.

next moment.

Strange information flooded into Li Rui's mind.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

Anything that can be called an ancient book by the old man who is a spirit of the weapon must naturally be an extremely ancient thing.

This is the realization of an ancient physical cultivator's internal tribulation.
