Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 472: Great Weather (asking for monthly ticket)
Enter the palace?

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

The fourth prince was not prominent among the other princes because his mother's family was weak and he himself often appeared to be unconcerned with state affairs. He was a marginal prince.

But now the Holy Emperor allows Zhu Ting to enter the palace.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhu Ting had become one of the candidates for crown prince.

In other words.

The value of the Fourth Prince has increased greatly compared to before, and he is no longer an idle prince.

He glanced calmly at Xia Yun, who was smiling gently beside him.

"Good means."

It is said that behind every successful man there is a woman.

of course.

After chatting for a while, Li Rui understood that the Fourth Prince had been lurking before, but now he was going to show his strength.

Right.

Although her mother's family is not good, Xia Yun has the entire Wu Kingdom behind him. In fact, she is even stronger than the several princes in the palace.

There was no way to compete before.

Now that the Wu Kingdom is unified, the young ruler of the Wu Kingdom has rested and recuperated for more than ten years and is no longer as weak as before.

With such powerful support, the Fourth Prince is now fully grown.

Of course, the Wu Kingdom is a foreign race after all, and it is impossible to rely on it completely.

The State of Yu was at its peak during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Holy Emperor would certainly not let the future emperor become a puppet of the State of Wu, so Zhu Ting had to build up his own power.

This is why we should be so respectful to others.

The Fourth Prince looked at Li Rui sincerely.

He is really eager to recruit talented people.

It is true that he has the support of the Wu Kingdom behind his wife, but he also knows that if he wants to compete for the position of crown prince, relying on Xia Yun alone is not enough.

The key still lies in the court.

Although he had been accumulating strength before, he was still too weak compared to the other princes in the palace.

Li Rui has extensive connections and acts cautiously, and the key is that he is very likely to step into the celestial phenomenon like Jiang Linxian.

Of course he wanted to recruit such a talent.

Under the slightly eager gaze of the Fourth Prince Zhu Ting, Li Rui slowly shook his head: "Your Highness, King Wu, this is a matter concerning the foundation of the country. I will pretend that I have never heard of what happened today."

Hearing Li Rui's refusal.

The fourth prince still had a smile on his face, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

But then he thought of what his wife Xia Yun had said.

"Li Rui is a cautious and calm person, a great talent, he will definitely not agree to it just once, you need to be sincere."

The fourth prince took a deep breath and said, "Lord Li is right. I was too abrupt."

Didn't think about it.

He just finished speaking.

Then Li Rui spoke again: "However, if His Majesty the King of Wu has any difficulties in the palace after leaving, I am willing to offer some advice."

The fourth prince's eyes lit up.

He actually bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Li."

Li Rui slightly turned his body to avoid Zhu Ting's greeting, pretending to be terrified and said, "Why should King Wu be so polite?"

after that.

The conversation between the two became more lively.

Even the fourth prince Zhu Ting invited Li Rui to dinner.

People outside said that the Fourth Prince liked Xuanhuang food and preferred light meals. Perhaps it was because Li Rui had come, so he added a spirit fish from the East China Sea, which was not considered a luxury among the princes.

while eating.

Zhu Ting suddenly said, "Master Li, is there any misunderstanding with my fifth brother? Perhaps I can help mediate."

After hearing what Zhu Ting said, Li Rui paused in picking up the meat.

The fifth prince Zhu Qian?
At first, his heart tightened slightly, and then he calmly replied: "The fifth prince and I worked together in the Spirit Mine, and sometimes we did have different political views."

One listen.

Zhu Ting frowned in confusion: "Strange, why has Fifth Brother been sending people to inquire about Lord Li's situation in Yunzhou recently?"

Then he kindly reminded: "Master Li, my fifth brother has an impatient temper and has recently made a breakthrough in the celestial phenomena. It is inevitable that he will be arrogant. You should be careful to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble."

Zhu Ting put it tactfully.

Li Rui naturally understood.

He thought to himself.

Why does Zhu Qian care so much about him?
Could it be that Zhu Qian knew about the Qingwei Sect's affairs?
He calmly glanced at the Fourth Prince beside him, who was known for being indifferent to worldly affairs.

Even he didn't know, but the Fourth Prince Zhu Ting actually knew about this, which shows that the Fourth Prince's skills are far more powerful than people think.

"The blood of the Zhu family breeds little monsters."

The dinner was over.

Only then did Li Rui leave.

As I walked out of the Prince of Wu's Palace, I saw a carriage parked on the street.

A look at the groom.

It turned out to be Liu Tiezhu and Yuan An.

Li Rui smiled: "Why are you here?"

Liu Tiezhu said: "Xiaohu said that the master went to see the prince, and he insisted on dragging me to join in the fun."

Li Rui was speechless.

He strode onto the carriage.

With a sound of the carriage, the carriage started moving slowly.

He looked at Yuan An outside the carriage, then looked at the Prince of Wu's Palace behind him, and immediately felt happy.

What a grand ceremony.

First, a prince played the piano for him personally, as if he had visited him three times at his cottage, and then the prince served as his groom.

I'm afraid that few people in the world can enjoy this kind of treatment. 'Our Lao Li is really getting more and more successful.'

At this time.

Yuan An turned his head and glanced at Li Rui behind the curtain, and asked curiously: "Master, so you agreed?"

He is the son of Marquis Annan.

Being very sensitive to these things, he naturally guessed that the Fourth Prince Zhu Ting wanted to recruit Li Rui.

Li Rui shook his head: "No."

Yuan An chuckled: "As expected of you, Master."

He just thought that Li Rui was wise and chose to protect himself. After all, the Holy Emperor was at the peak of his power now, and taking sides at this time was undoubtedly the most unwise behavior. The master would not make such a low-level mistake.

Little did people know that although Li Rui refused, he did not completely reject it.

Such choices all stem from his breakthrough.

In the past, he would have drawn a line between himself and Zhu Ting without hesitation.

This is a dispute concerning the foundation of the country. Getting involved will lead to death.

But now it’s different. He has become a celestial phenomenon.

Li Rui never advocates blindly standing out, but in fact, he also does not advocate blindly hiding.

It is foolish to aim too high when you are weak, and it is also foolish to be timid when you are strong enough.

Do things according to your ability.

When it comes to Tianxiang, the relationship with the court is no longer a simple vassal, and your words will become extremely important. Although you say you are a minister, it should be said that you are discussing the world together. Tianxiang warriors can sit in the court and discuss political affairs together.

in other words.

Finally, I went from being a chess piece to a chess player.

Have the capital to place bets.

Today, Li Rui neither refused nor agreed because he didn't know the Fourth Prince at all and of course couldn't place a bet easily.

But there was no need for him to completely reject a prince.

After Zhu Ting enters the palace, he will inevitably have dealings with others in the future. It doesn't hurt to have more ways. As an astronomical figure, he won't be in trouble just because he is close to a prince.

If you are strong enough, you can do it with ease.

If it's not enough, then it's a dilemma.

The carriage passed through the wide street and soon arrived at the house next to the Jishuitan.

Master Li Rui and his two disciples returned to the house.

Everyone take a rest.

Walking into the room, Li Rui began to practice the Eternal Green Skill and the Zhenwu Nurturing Technique again. He never dared to slack off when it came to practice.

I continued practicing until late at night.

Only then did he fall into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he arrived at Taixu Taoist Temple.

"You are really born with the material for the Purple Palace. With this fetus, you don't have to nurture the spiritual fetus, which saves you a lot of effort."

The old man said.

There is even a hint of envy.

"When Daojun was in the Purple Mansion Realm, he was probably not as good as this kid."

of course.

He didn't say this out loud.

A Taoist Lord, even if Wanshou Taoist Lord is not the kind of person who is brave and diligent and achieves the status of a Taoist Lord in an unparalleled manner, it cannot be said that he is not as good as the younger generation in front of him at the same level.

The old man coughed lightly.

"Don't be lazy because of this. The Dao fetus is just like that."

He lowered his voice and seemed to lack confidence.

Daotai does have reason to be proud.

Li Rui did not take it seriously and asked humbly: "Senior, you said before that the Purple Mansion Realm should nurture the spirit fetus and even open up the Dantian Purple Mansion to carry the Tao. What is this Purple Mansion?"

Hear Li Ruizhi ask.

The old man with the spirit of the weapon then resumed his appearance as a master: "When you reach the sky, you will first pass through the Purple Mansion. The Purple Mansion is the Immortal Palace, a place that accommodates the Tao. Cultivators have caves, and the same is true for the spirit fetus. The spirit fetus is used to lead the sound of the Tao to open up the cave."

talking.

The old man deliberately put on a face again:

"Why are you thinking about these things? Even if you already have a Dao fetus, you still need to nurture it well. Don't rush into it recklessly, which will cause your foundation to be unstable and ruin your future."

"What the senior said is very true."

Li Rui was not annoyed either.

But I was thinking about something.

What the old spirit weapon said was not much different from what Jiang Linxian said. It seemed that the celestial realm of warriors should also be derived from the purple mansion realm in the world of immortal cultivation.

In this case, doesn't it mean that he has already opened up the Purple Palace? !

Li Rui looked inward at himself, looking at the immortal palace where the little Taoist figure was sitting cross-legged.

Isn’t this the spiritual fetus and purple palace mentioned by the old man?

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Rui.

"We need to suppress this kid's arrogance."

He pretended to be unfathomable and said, "Boy, you know that there are three levels of spiritual embryos, and the purple palaces are even more divided."

"Oh?"

Li Rui showed a surprised expression in a very supportive manner.

The old man raised his lips slightly, and spoke with a proud tone, like an old naughty boy: "In the ordinary Purple Mansion Realm, it is a blessing to be able to open up a small house. My Taoist master is a genius, so he can build a cave. It is said that there are powerful people. The Purple Mansion can become a magnificent Eight Directions Temple, carrying infinite Taoist power."

"If you are greedy for improvement, you will end up with a purple palace the size of a palm. No matter how magnificent the Dao is, you will not be able to contain it. Everything will be in vain."

"Now do you understand how serious this is?"

Li Rui nodded.

But I was even more surprised in my heart.

Then, what if his Purple Mansion is an immortal palace?
