Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 554: Conferred Marquisate (Additional Update, Two-in-One)

Yunzhou, Annan Marquis Mansion.

After that day.

Li Rui left Qinghe Villa and moved into the Annan Marquis Mansion.

"Brother Li, our emperor is truly the master of the rejuvenation of the country. He even found Bai Yujing as his backer. Those immortal cultivators are so well-behaved."

In the courtyard.

Nie Siming's laughter rang out.

After that night, the imagined chaos did not happen.

Those who are familiar with the world of immortal cultivation know that those immortal dynasties that can stand for tens of millions of years either have a profound foundation of their own or have the support of powerful immortal sects.

Although the Yu Kingdom has a good foundation, it can only be regarded as a third-rate dynasty in the world of immortal cultivation.

Finding a good backer is crucial.

"I heard that the immortal envoy from Baiyujing turned out to be Lord Jiang."

"Brother, I really admire him from the bottom of my heart. He can do well wherever he goes."

Nie Siming said.

Li Rui listened with a smile on his face.

He has already obtained intelligence from the court.

With the protection of Baiyujing, Dayu will surely prosper for a thousand years.

The reason why Baiyujing was willing to protect a secular dynasty that had just come out of the Small Cave Heaven, in addition to the Immortal Tomb, was another major reason and that was Jiang Linxian.

I heard that Jiang Linxian is doing very well in Baiyujing and has even become a core disciple.

"Brother Jiang is truly a talent."

Li Rui thought to himself.

In short.

With the protection of a giant like Baiyujing, there is no danger or worry.

of course.

It is impossible for Baiyujing to be monopolized by one party.

Those immortal sects can still set up sub-sects as before.

So apart from the increasing number of cultivators coming here to seek opportunities, there has been almost no change.

For ordinary people, they are completely unaware of anything.

To be so stable.

It is also inseparable from the foundation of the State of Yu itself, and this is all thanks to Li Rui, the master.

A celestial being who proves his truth through force.

It is not something that ordinary people can compare to.

The ancestor of heaven and man is enough to protect a third-rate immortal dynasty. The Yu Kingdom has Gao Tianxia, ​​so in terms of foundation, it is actually not bad.

As Nie Siming was talking, he also talked about the battle in Donghai City.

"Brother Li, your master is really domineering. He braved the heavenly thunder tribulation and beat Huang Longzi to retreat step by step. Although Huang Longzi ran away, I'm afraid he will have to recuperate for at least sixty years before he dares to show up."

His words were full of admiration for the Lord of Donghai City.

Li Rui was also fascinated.

The reason why Gao Tianxia didn't take action was that he was stopped by Huang Longzi.

Huang Longzi brought the heavenly thunder to block the door.

But his master was even more ruthless. He braved the thunder and chased Huang Longzi for thousands of miles.

The end is unreasonable.

Those who have cultivated to become immortals know that thunder tribulations are extremely terrifying.

This is true for those who are undergoing the tribulation, and even more so for cultivators who have mistakenly entered the range of the thunder tribulation, and the consequences are even more severe.

In the case of his master, the thunder tribulation he endured was even greater than when he broke through that year.

Extremely dangerous.

Because of this, there has been a legend in the world of immortal cultivation that there was a senior named Ye who often used to chase his enemies with heavenly tribulations.

Huang Longzi wanted to replicate it, but unfortunately Gao Tianxia was too fierce.

In the end, he ended up fleeing in a panic.

In short.

Today, the State of Yu is peaceful and prosperous, and is even better than when the country was first founded.

In history books, it is destined to be an unavoidable chapter.

Li Rui's days are busy.

In addition to running around to suppress those unruly cultivators, practicing the Immortal Path Evergreen Art Visualization Diagram is extremely energy-consuming.

at this time.

Li Rui sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrated.

"To obtain the immortality of the Valley Spirit, one must rely on the Mysterious Female to establish a foundation. Once the true essence returns to the Golden Chamber, a bright pearl will never leave."

Deep in the sea of ​​consciousness.

There was a green aura floating around.

This was exactly what Li Rui had been visualizing - immortal energy.

Different from before.

There was only a trace before.

But now it is a sea of ​​qi!
When he got the fragments, Li Rui could only watch from afar, so his progress on the path to immortality seemed a bit slow compared to the Qingxuan Avenue. But now that he has obtained the complete Immortal Path Changqing Diagram, he can directly walk into the Qi Sea.

What I have realized is completely different from what I have realized today.

"Wonderful!"

Li Rui immersed himself in the sea of ​​qi and felt extremely refreshed.

The Immortal's Evergreen Diagram is indeed a visualization diagram exclusive to the Immortal's path.

The way to immortality is the way to become immortal.

The first step is to transform all spiritual energy into fairy energy.

This step can only be achieved by those powerful beings in the world of immortal cultivation.

But Li Rui wanted to take a shortcut.

What you see is what you get.

All he had to do was visualize and he could transform the spiritual energy in his body into real immortal energy, and his efficiency was much faster than before.

Although his realm is not high enough, he cannot really ascend to heaven on the spot.

But the benefits are numerous.

Not to mention anything else, a wisp of immortal energy is equivalent to countless spiritual energy. It is simply a dimensionality reduction attack. When refining talismans, activating formations, and fighting with others, it can be used in both quality and quantity.

It's all crushing.

More importantly, the complete Immortal Path Evergreen Map can enhance the Immortal Realm.

This was undoubtedly a leap forward in Li Rui's combat power.

He had long been aware of the power of the fairyland.

Once the fairyland is opened, all paths will be forbidden.

It is extremely domineering.

Just imagine, if he could expand the Hundred Miles Fairyland, the magnitude of the event would be unimaginable.

According to Li Rui's idea.

As long as he meditates every day, in less than ten years, he will be able to expand a fairyland of ten feet. By then, he will be able to gain the upper hand when fighting against others and be invincible.

This day.

A group of special guests came to the Annan Marquis Mansion.

"Young Master, may I ask if Lord Li, the Taiping Commander, is in the Marquis' Mansion?"

The young man guarding the gate looked at the kind old eunuch in front of him, blinked, and then nodded: "Yes, yes."

Eunuch Zheng heard this.

He immediately smiled and said, "Please lead the way, young master. We are carrying the imperial decree from His Majesty, so we cannot delay."

I heard it was an imperial edict.

The young man guarding the gate suddenly widened his eyes.

Don't dare to delay any longer.

However, he did not panic. Instead, he politely arranged Eunuch Zheng and his party in the front yard and ran to find the commander.

Not long after.

Li Rui came to the front yard.

Also coming with him were Yuan An and several of Yuan Dingting's adopted sons.

As for Yuan Dingting himself, he was not in the mansion.

When Eunuch Zheng saw Li Rui appear, the smile on his old face became even greater.

He took the imperial edict from the young eunuch beside him.

It was not read out but was directly placed in Li Rui's hands.

Although doing so was not in accordance with etiquette, he was the Holy Emperor's close confidant and this action was a way of showing intimacy with the Holy Emperor.

Looking at the entire Yu State.

Only a very small number of people can enjoy such treatment.

Eunuch Zheng said, "Sir Li, Supervisor Gu has already told His Majesty about your achievements. His Majesty was even delighted and praised Sir Li as a pillar of the empire. He must be rewarded well to motivate all officials."

Halfway through the sentence.

Eunuch Zheng just slapped his forehead.

He said apologetically, "I am old and confused. I should call you Lord Li."

When the people around Li Rui heard this, they all gasped.

Li Rui is going to be conferred a title of nobility? ! !
"Your Majesty, in recognition of Marquis Li's dedication to serving Dayu, has conferred him the title of Marquis of Wu'an."

Eunuch Zheng spoke at the right time.

Meng Chong, Nie Siming and others were all shocked.

Marquis of Wu'an!
The Yu Kingdom values ​​etiquette, and the title of marquis is extremely particular. The Holy Emperor alone cannot decide, and the Wenyuan Pavilion scholars need to quote classics and then determine it based on his personal deeds.

The whole process is extremely cumbersome.

But precisely because of this, Meng Chong and his companions were even more confused. Where did the word Wu'an come from?

"It means that he can take care of the soldiers, win the battle, and make the people gather at peace, so he is called Wu'an."

to be honest.

The word "Wu'an" is more suitable for military generals.

Ok.

Although Li Rui was born in Annan Town and was a military general according to his resume, he had never fought in a battle, let alone the phrase "victory in battle".

Based on their understanding of Li Rui.

He can only take a few actions on one hand, let alone lead troops.

Therefore, the two words "Wu'an" are more interesting.

Li Rui has opened the imperial edict.

Looking at the word Wu'an.

I was also feeling doubtful in my heart.

The above "eliminate the rebels and stabilize the country" refers to his killing of Zhou Tong.

He didn't expect that.

When Gu Changsheng took Zhou Tong's spiritual fetus away, he said he wanted to take credit for him, but he actually asked for a marquis directly!
Really unexpected.

To know.

In the past eight hundred years, the State of Yu had only conferred the title of Marquis on two living lords, one was Yuan Dingting, and the other was him.

By this calculation, wouldn't he be on par with Yuan Bingsheng?

Status soars!

At this moment, the small words on the panel appeared on time.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced plot of becoming a general and a prime minister - Marquis. ]

[For an official, being promoted to a higher position is the greatest joy in life. Congratulations to the host for becoming Marquis of Wu'an after serving as an official for more than ten years. Please keep up the hard work! ]

[Complete the mission, Lord. Rewards are being calculated.]

【Task rating B.】

【Get 30 achievement points! 】

【Name: Li Rui】

【Age: 30】

[Talents: extraordinary comprehension, wisdom, dreaming of immortality, defeating demons and winning, innate immortal martial arts fetus]

[Kung Fu: Eternal Green Kung Fu, Zhenwu Army Training Technique, Blue Lotus Visualization Diagram, Immortal Evergreen Visualization Diagram]

[Item: Spirit Ascension Book]

[Achievement: 50/100]

It has only been a short time since I last received the reward! I have passed the halfway point again!

Who says good fortune never comes alone?
This doesn't make sense for Li Rui.

"Thank you, father-in-law. I have set up a table at Jufulou in the city. Please come over."

Regarding the eunuchs around the Holy Emperor.

Li Rui was still very polite.

Although given his relationship with everyone in the Annan Marquis's Mansion, it would be fine to hold a banquet in the mansion.

If it were an ordinary day, I might have done this.

But he is now Marquis of Wu'an.

He is on the same level as the Marquis of Annan, so doing so would inevitably give the impression of usurping the throne. Given Li Rui's personality and conduct, he would naturally not give others any chance to talk about him.

at dusk.

Li Rui and Eunuch Zheng appeared on the top floor of Jufulou.

The entire Jufulou building, except for this room, had been cleared out.

It’s not that Li Rui has great power.

But it was because Eunuch Zheng's identity was too special, and if someone noticed him, trouble was bound to arise.

Even if Eunuch Zheng himself doesn't care, Li Rui, as the host, has to take it into consideration.

This is what it means to be well versed in human nature.

Do things in detail.

Li Rui was already adept at this.

Drink a glass of wine.

Eunuch Zheng then said with a smile: "Lord Li is truly the Purple Star descended to the earth. We are so envious of him."

Ziwei Star represents official career.

If the official's Ziwei star moves, it means he will be promoted.

It's only been a few years since Li Rui's death.

He went straight from being a small Yunzhou military officer to the most powerful marquis in Dayu.

Eunuch Zheng has been in the palace for so many years, and has only met three people.

Prime Minister Zhang, Marquis Yuan, and Supervisor Gu.

And the Lord Li in front of him is very likely to become one of these big figures who can make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand.

Such status.

Even if Ziwei Star moves, it won’t work. Only when Ziwei Star descends to earth can it work.

Li Rui laughed out loud: "Eunuch Zheng, you are too kind."

After three rounds of drinks, the guests were all in high spirits.

Eunuch Zheng was a little drunk.

Of course, it was not just because the wine Li Rui served was made from magical herbs and was extremely intoxicating. As a close minister of the emperor, he could best understand what it meant to serve the emperor like serving a tiger.

Even though he has been following the Holy Emperor for a hundred years, he still has to be extremely cautious, fearing that he might make a wrong step.

Being drunk is almost impossible.

The reason why I was drunk today was simply because the person I was drinking with was Li Rui.

While we're drunk.

Eunuch Zheng dipped his hand in the wine, drew a circle on the table, and lowered his voice: "Lord Li, we are here for another reason."

"Oh?"

Li Rui moved closer.

He was so unable to see that everything that had happened before, including the title of marquis, was for the purpose of what Eunuch Zheng was talking about now.

Anyone who is well versed in the ways of being an official knows this.

The fewer people there are, the bigger the things will be.

Eunuch Zheng: "Lord Li has left the capital, and some things have not yet reached the ears of the Lord. Someone from Baiyu Capital has come, and they want to move Shenxiao City to our Yu Kingdom."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

This is not surprising.

Li Rui didn't know how the bigwigs from various parties played games after the Jinting Small Cave Heaven came to power, but the final result was that the State of Yu came under the protection of Baiyujing.

That being the case.

Both the Shenxuan Sect and the Wanfa Palace have subordinate sects.

There is no reason not to set up Baiyujing.

Shenxiao City is here.

Li Rui said nothing, just listened quietly.

Eunuch Zheng quickly drew another circle on the table with wine: "Bai Yujing invites Mr. Gao to be the deputy city lord of Shenxiao City, and Mr. Gao has accepted it."

"Shenxiao City needs someone to help run it. Your Majesty looked around and felt that the Marquis is the most suitable."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. Once you go to Shenxiao City, you will at least be an elder."

"Your Excellency cannot be wronged."

Eunuch Zheng's words were so perfect that not a single flaw could be found.

Li Rui chuckled.

He said that it was too hasty to exchange Zhou Tong for a marquis title.

Now it seems.

The Holy Emperor's move was to pave the way for him to go to Shenxiao City.

The twelve buildings and five cities of Baiyujing are the most core group of people besides the elders and disciples of the sect.

Not to mention becoming an elder in Shenxiao City, even if one was just a deacon, countless cultivators would flock to him.

The good job that others dream of finally fell on Li Rui's head.

It's certainly not luck.

But it was because of the influence of his master.

But you have to know that his master is not a king, prince, or general of the Yu State, so the Yu State has to send another person, and Li Rui is undoubtedly the best choice.

But since you have sent someone.

The identity cannot be bad, as it concerns the first impression that the State of Yu gives to the world of immortal cultivation. Therefore, even the most pedantic old scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion were relieved.

The two extremely important words "Wu'an" were given to Li Rui.

The purpose is to not damage the dignity of the Yu Kingdom.

When you go out, you always need to have a good identity to make things easier.

After Eunuch Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Rui with some trepidation.

This time I came to Yunzhou.

Delivering the imperial edict is a small matter, this matter is a big matter.

Under the expectant gaze of Eunuch Zheng, Li Rui smiled and nodded: "Then I will go and take a look."
