Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 239
c239 Exiled Immortal
Zhuang Renhe narrowed his eyes slightly.
‘The ancestor of Blood Shadow asked me to find someone who can make this stone shine, and he also emphasized that I can break through from an official named Li Rui? ’
‘What’s for? ’
‘I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out. ’
Zhuang Renhe received a handwritten letter from the ancestor of the Blood Shadow Sect a few days ago. The content was only one, which was to find someone who could make jade shine, and it was pointed out that Li Rui could be the first choice.
Then invite that person to the Ghost Sect.
This word “please” is very learned.
Zhuang Renhe’s understanding of this is that people cannot be dead when they come to the Guiming Sect, which means to be captured alive.
Otherwise, there shouldn’t be many people in the world who would willingly go to the Guiming Sect.
‘So. Could it be him? ’
And why?
No clue at all. Simply ignore the situation and invite the people first.
In the courtyard.
Li Rui looked like a dragon, and with a snap of his fingers, the boulder shattered.
After practicing hard, his martial arts improved steadily.
Changchun Kung Fu, Hammer Qi Technique plus Immortal Xuan Qi are almost perfect for nourishing Qi, and the progress is naturally rapid.
It is estimated that within a few years, the Qi Sea will be opened.
It is expected to enter the sea-viewing realm.
This speed is even faster than Jiang Linxian, who is known as the number one genius in Yunzhou.
What is Tianjiao?
This is Tianjiao.
proud?
Not really.
When it comes true, no matter how proud you are, it’s never too late. Even if Li Rui is a perfect match, he still needs to live long enough to realize it.
Finished sword practice.
Li Rui then opened the door and walked out of the house, walking towards the outside of the guardhouse as usual.
On the way out of the camp.
I happened to see Feng Yu leading people into the military camp.
Li Rui originally planned to just nod symbolically, but saw Feng Yu actually take the initiative to step forward.
Just when Li Rui was wondering what Feng Yu wanted to do with him.
Feng Yu said:
“Captain Li, who have you provoked recently?”
Li Rui was stunned and frowned slightly:
“Why did Mr. Feng say that?”
Feng Yu was straightforward:
“In the past few days, Zhuang Renhe’s men want to pay me to investigate your whereabouts and find out the news.”
Li Rui was shocked.
“Zhuang Renhe?!”
Zhuang Renhe investigates him?
Li Rui’s heart tightened.
Who is Zhuang Renhe?
That was the secret hand of the Guiming Sect. It was definitely not a good thing for a person from the Guiming Sect to investigate him.
Li Rui didn’t find it strange that Zhuang Renhe was investigating him.
As far as he knew, it was not only Cao Wei but also the magistrate Zhuang Renhe who was close to Shenbing Villa.
His business is bound to conflict with the sale of Shenbing Villa.
It was expected that Zhuang Renhe would investigate him.
Li Rui was constantly thinking, but his face didn’t change much. He looked at Feng Yu with a smile:
“General Feng, why did you tell me this?”
Logically speaking, he and Feng Yu belong to two camps respectively.
Although the two sides do not usually fight, minor conflicts never stop, and the subordinates of both sides are secretly competing with each other.
Feng Yu had every reason to earn a share of Zhuang Renhe’s salary.
Feng Yu snorted coldly:
“Master Li looks down on me, Mr. Feng, too much.”
“Who is Zhuang Renhe? He dares to deal with people from An Ningwei.”
“Nice work!”
Li Rui was awe-inspiring.
The situation is bad!
If Feng Yu’s reputation among Jiang Linxian’s faction was not completely bad, it was because he acted in a measured manner and did not engage in infighting without a bottom line.
Zhuang Renhe was from the government, and he was from An Ningwei.
Anning Guard can be managed by themselves, but Zhuang Ren and a government official want to put their hands into Anning Guard?
No way!
Feng Yu was the first to refuse.
I believe that Cao Wei will definitely not agree.
“Brother Feng, I’ll invite you to Haikou Residence for a drink some other time.”
When Feng Yu heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.
“No, we must go to Zuixian Tower!”
The majestic Ming City has three thousand palace ladies, long vermilion walls, majestic palaces, and colored glass reflecting the sun.
A corner of the magnificent imperial city.
In a small courtyard.
A pretty figure sat alone on the stone bench, her right hand resting on her chin, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“well.”
“Everyone in the world thinks that the imperial city is great, but they don’t know that it is just a huge prison.”
Yao Xue looked at the majestic palace not far away and couldn’t be happy. Others thought Daming City was good, but only those who lived in it knew how depressing it was.
Since then, he has followed Zhang Laodao into the capital.
Because of her junior uncle, she saw too many royal schemes.
Already mentally and physically exhausted.
“It’s better to go back to nature.”
At this moment, a young man’s voice sounded outside the door: “Sister, please be more open-minded. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this Daming City.”
“Junior brother.”
Yao Xue turned around and saw her junior brother Qu Chengfeng walking in.
Compared with him, Qu Chengfeng was like a duck to water after entering the capital. He even participated in the Qiu Wei this year and even became the second place.
It seems that he is someone who wants to be a high official.
I heard that Qu Chengfeng often visited the residence of the Minister of Rites, discussing Taoism and mysteries. It was even confirmed that he would join the Ministry of Rites as a doctor soon, and he would directly become the fifth rank.
Yao Xue didn’t know whether this was a good thing or not, and had no ability to stop it.
Ever since Qu Chengfeng suffered a disaster in Qinghe, his whole person has been completely transformed.
“You have changed.”
Yao Xue spoke.
Qu Chengfeng chuckled: “People change, senior sister, haven’t you also changed a lot because of that person named Li Rui?”
Speaking of Li Rui, Yao Xue was a little confused.
I haven’t thought of this name for a long time.
At first, the two of them often exchanged letters, but as the things in the imperial city became more and more complicated, she was exhausted just dealing with the things in front of her, and she didn’t have the heart to write letters.
“Junior brother, you are right. We have all changed a lot in Qinghe.”
Later, Zhang Laodao said.
In fact, Qinghe was the place he specially chose for his three disciples to face the disaster. He and his junior brother Qu Chengfeng survived the disaster, and the eldest brother stayed there completely.
“Senior sister, are you still in touch with Li Rui?”
Qu Chengfeng asked.
Yao Xue shook her head: “It’s been a long time since we contacted each other.”
For some reason, she always felt that Qu Chengfeng mentioned Li Rui a little too many times recently.
‘Is it an illusion? ‘
“Oh.”
Qu Chengfeng nodded: “Then I won’t bother you, senior sister.”
Walk out of the yard.
Qu Chengfeng stood under the brick-red palace wall mixed with cinnabar, thinking.
He looked at his fingertips.
A wisp of green air appeared in his hand, which was the immortal energy that the Ghost Sect got from Qinghe.
He raised his other hand again.
There was a slight hissing sound.
Another wisp of green air appeared at the fingertips on the other side.
“The prototype of immortal energy.”
Qu Chengfeng muttered to himself, with excitement in his eyes.
“Exiled immortal!”
In the eyes of others, these two strands of immortal energy seemed to have no essential difference, but in his eyes, they were very different.
“There are other exiled immortals in Qinghe.”
Qu Chengfeng’s eyes almost became hot.
“So. Who is the exiled immortal?”
“I really want to meet him.”
“Qu Chengfeng became the second place?”
Li Rui looked at the official report sent from the capital, and his first glance fell on the three words Qu Chengfeng.
‘Could it be that he really got it? ‘
He was also quite familiar with Qu Chengfeng, and he really didn’t see that he had the talent of a scholar.
I heard that he was going to the Ministry of Rites to be a doctor.

Starting from the fifth rank.
When it comes to being an official, people are very different.
He was born a peasant, and his background was earned by himself. Although he was promoted quickly, he was only a sixth-rank lieutenant.
But Qu Chengfeng was very different.
Not to mention that he got the second place in the exam, he was talented. The owner of his teacher’s Wenxian Tower became the director of the Imperial Observatory, one of the top five figures in the empire.
Adding these conditions together, his starting point is the end point that many officials can’t reach.
Of course.
Li Rui is not envious.
There are many officials with high starting points. There was even a child prodigy who became a third-rank official at the age of 18, but he was still a third-rank official until he died.
On the contrary.
There are also some officials whose careers only improved when they were in their forties or fifties, but they were able to enter the cabinet and become important officials of the court.
Such cases are everywhere.
Stability is the key, so that you can go far.
Li Rui did not stay on Qu Chengfeng for too long, but continued to read the court report with relish.
This court report is a great way to understand the world’s major events.
Especially for those storytellers, it is a great material for making up stories.
“The Lord of Donghai City and the Sword Immortal of Daoxuan Sect agreed to compete on the shore of the East China Sea.”
“The Northwest Sword King killed 3,000 barbarian cavalry with his sword, and shocked the world.”
“Auspicious signs fell from the sky in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor was very pleased.”
The time of eating melons is always short and happy.
The court report is just one page, and most of the content on it is just a few words, at most a few hundred words, which is really not satisfying to read.
Put down the court report.
Li Rui took out a small wooden box from his arms.
If you look at it from the perspective of the spiritual eye, it is simply shining with golden light.
As soon as it is opened.
A strange fragrance fills the nose.
A full box, all of which are sixth-grade elixirs, and even two fifth-grade ones.
Although the Tiandi League has done business and made a lot of money, it can’t support eating like this every day.
Li Rui is so rich, of course, he did something that was beyond his means.
In the early stage, of course, he had to share the money with the big guys, but now that the business has been going on for a long time, Jiang Linxian, Tie Kuang and the Lord of Longting all disliked the trouble of monthly settlement, so they changed it to annual settlement.
Who asked Yu State whether it had technology? Monthly settlement was a waste of manpower.
Li Rui could just take out a part of it for himself first.
Then he could make up for it later.
In short, it means enjoying first and paying later.
Huabei!
In the professional terminology of the previous life, it means adding leverage.
Friends who often owe money know that appropriate debt can actually stimulate motivation.
For example, Li Rui now has no shortage of elixirs, and his cultivation progress is frighteningly fast.
He took out two sixth-grade elixirs from the wooden box and put them in his mouth.
Carefully refine and absorb the medicinal effects.
Not eating all the elixirs at once is based on this principle of saving.
Even if you are rich, you can’t waste it, right?
Li Rui has been frugal for most of his life, but he has no idea of spending lavishly after getting rich.
You still have to be thrifty when you live your life.
Li Rui completed a day of practice meticulously.
Then he got into bed.
Continue practicing.
“Master, do you think Tie Laotou can succeed?”
Liu Tiezhu looked at Tie Kuang who was working hard on the iron.
Now he has figured it out. This Tie Laotou is really a hidden master. Although he knows Tie Laotou’s temperament, he dare not be careless anymore.
He knows even more.
The weapon Tie Kuang was pondering day and night turned out to be the legendary immortal weapon.
That’s an immortal soldier!
Liu Tiezhu mastered the Qi filling method and was already extremely excited.
Old Man Tie is simply inhuman and wants to create immortal weapons.
As his knowledge increased, Liu Tiezhu knew very well that the last immortal weapon in the Yu Kingdom was born thirty years ago, when he was just born.
“Maybe it’s possible.”
Li Rui, a layman, certainly couldn’t give an answer.
Ever since he knew that Tie Kuang was refining the immortal weapons, Tie Kuang simply let Li Rui enter the backyard.
But except for their master and apprentice, no one else could even think of stepping into the backyard.
Not even the people from Shenbing Villa.
Since the last time Li Rui attacked someone from Shenbing Villa, Tie Kuang has personally returned to Shenbing Villa.
Then.
The people at Shenbing Villa have become much more honest and have never caused trouble again.
Tie Kuang, an old man, has always been reliable in his work, otherwise Li Rui would not dare to establish his authority with such a large sect as Shenbing Villa.
Since that incident.
There are far fewer people watching in the city.
After all, the Shenbing Villa suffered such a big loss and yet it didn’t even fight back. No one in the city, except for the eight major sects, dared to have a bad idea against the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Even people from the eight major sects need to think carefully.
To put it bluntly, those who come to Qinghe are all sect workers, and everyone is afraid of people with a tough background.
It’s not worth putting yourself in for the sake of the sect.
Just thinking about it.
The hammer in Tie Kuang’s hand suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, and he murmured to himself:
“wrong.”
“wrong.”
Liu Tiezhu was watching with great interest when Tie Kuang suddenly stopped and made him feel as if he was crawling with insects.
“Old man Tie, you should continue, don’t stop.”
Hear what Liu Tiezhu said.
Tie Kuang snorted coldly: “You kid, you know nothing. The weapon spirit has been smashed to pieces. If you fight it out, it won’t be an immortal weapon. There is no need to fight it down.”
Liu Tiezhu suddenly became interested: “Weapon spirit?”
Regarding Liu Tiezhu, Tie Kuang was very patient. He explained: “The reason why the immortal weapons are immortal weapons lies in the spirit of the weapon. Only when the spirit of the weapon is formed can the embryo be considered formed.”
Li Rui listened.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Although he doesn’t know how to blacksmith, he has read a lot of books about forging weapons in recent days.
‘People have souls, and weapons also have spirits. If the weapons are spirited, the souls of soldiers also have spirits. Only then can they be able to open mountains and fill seas, or even defend themselves against enemies. ’
Tie Kuang continued:
“The weapon spirit is formed, the heart blood of the monster beast is poured into it, forged, and the beast soul is refined into the weapon to become the weapon spirit.”
This is also the reason why he came to Qinghe.
To say that the place with the most blood of high-grade monsters in the world is without a doubt the Witch Kingdom.
In fact.
Tie Kuang asked Li Rui to buy the materials for the immortal weapons, and most of the money was spent on monster blood. To build an immortal weapon, you need at least third-grade monster blood, so the price is naturally ridiculously expensive.
That is to say, Li Rui has Dao Mo’s way, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to do it.
Tie Kuang: “Actually, in ancient times, there was another way to forge immortal weapons, and that was to use immortal energy as a guide.”
“Now that the world has changed so much, immortal energy naturally does not exist, but some special energy can also be used as immortal energy to forge divine weapons. However, that type of energy is too scarce in the world and cannot be obtained.”
Just as Tie Kuang was talking.
Li Rui was thoughtful.
“Senior Tie, maybe I can help you.”
