Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 242
c242 The Iron Forge asks, the Sparrow shows its way
The wooden frame creaked and turned.
Zhuang Renhe walked out of the secret passage expressionlessly. The Blood-Picking General had stopped moving, or rather, the Blood-Picking General in the secret room had been turned into nothing.
This time he was really dead, and there would be no such person as the Blood-Picking General in the world.
‘Xian Zun, you are really good at hiding things! ’
Zhuang Renhe never expected that the Ghostly Nether Sect would do so many things behind his back.
He never expected that when the Immortal Lord came to the world, he would actually participate in it.
He already understood.
The order to find someone was not issued by the Blood Shadow Ancestor at all, but by the Immortal Lord.
‘Xuan Guo claimed to be the descendant of the Immortal, and it was actually true. ’
Zhuang Renhe’s eyes flickered.
All along, he had only regarded the teachings of the Ghostly Nether Sect as a joke, and the immortal descendants were all tricks to deceive himself.
He joined the Ghostly Nether Sect just to use each other.
But the water of the Ghostly Nether Sect seemed to be deeper than he expected, and it actually resurrected the Immortal Lord.
Soon, greed filled his eyes.
‘Immortal energy. That’s immortal.’
Zhuang Renhe still had doubts about whether the Immortal Lord really existed, but the existence of immortal energy was almost a foregone conclusion.
‘If the Ghost Cult can take it, so can I!’
In Li’s house.
“The taste of the Yangqi Pill is better than the Huangting Pill.”
After eating so many elixirs, Li Rui slowly tasted some of the flavors.
To say the best.
It has to be a fifth-grade elixir, which is full of color, fragrance and taste.
This mentality is probably similar to that of a gourmet who has tasted all kinds of food.
Li Rui looked at a floor tile.
There was the entrance to the secret passage, and the elixir was hidden in the dark room, especially the two fourth-grade Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills.
He swallowed his saliva.
Now is not the time yet. When the true qi is condensed to the point where it can open up the sea of qi, then two Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills will help to open up the sea of qi in one fell swoop.
The amount of Qi needed for the Qi Sea is frightening, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
That is to say, the pills Tie Kuang gave were enough and powerful enough.
This gave Li Rui the possibility of rapid success.
I am afraid that even the core disciples of the Shenbing Villa may not have such treatment.
A true super genius treatment!
Tie Kuang spent a lot of money for the immortal soldiers this time.
Only when Li Rui opened up the Qi Sea and could cultivate more immortal Qi, the immortal soldiers would be possible, so he had to help with all his strength.
But thinking about it the other way around, that is, exchanging the blood of the beast for pills, is it more cost-effective in some ways?
With the help of a large number of pills, the progress of cultivating Qi is of course a thousand miles a day.
Look inside the Dantian.
At this time, the dragon shape is more agile and lifelike, and it is no different from the legendary Yinglong. In addition, the immortal shape is the same, and there is a little fairy charm in the haze.
The effect is quite gratifying.
After taking the pill, he immediately started to circulate the Qi with the Dragon Wandering in the Nine Skies. Because the effect of the medicine was extremely active, Yinglong circulated around his body in an instant. In just a quarter of an hour, he completed a big cycle.
Li Rui looked at the moonlight outside the window.
It was still early.
He simply took the Divine Fire Burning Heaven Hammer and walked out of the door.
Under the moonlight.
The old man swung the hammer.
“What a great scene.”
Outside An Ningwei.
On the roof of a deserted house, Fu Huai stood quietly, looking at the scene of An Ningwei from a distance, his eyes flashing with a strange purple light, holding a small jade bottle in his hand, the liquid inside had been drunk.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a guard post.
But in his eyes, the scene was spectacular.
On the right hand, a giant sword was about to be unsheathed, and on the left hand, a double-winged dragon slowly raised its head, wanting to fly into the sky.
Fu Huai was in a difficult mood.
A small Qinghe actually hibernated two such terrible people.
Once these two people are allowed to rise, I am afraid that Yu State will have two more great figures.
And they are military personnel.
The Ghost Cult certainly does not want to see such a thing.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he was not sure whether these two people were the people that the Immortal Venerable was looking for, one thing was certain, they were all people that the Ghost Cult wanted to kill.
In the past thousand years.
There have always been some geniuses in the Yu State who died inexplicably.
Some of them were done by the Ghost Cult, which was just a means to eliminate the threat in advance.
‘Jiang Linxian Li Rui’
Fu Huai thought.
Although both of them were outstanding people, it seemed that they were still far from the exiled immortals mentioned by the Immortal Venerable.
What is an exiled immortal?
An immortal who descended to the earth!
It’s just that the environment has changed, but the essence of the immortal has not changed at all.
The atmosphere should be so great that it has no boundaries.
Fu Huai has never seen a real immortal. Except for a few high-level members of the Ghost Cult, no one else knows about the Immortal Venerable.
So Fu Huai can only rely on guessing and comparison.
‘So, who will it be? ’
He muttered to himself, then jumped off the roof easily and disappeared into the darkness.
The Lantern Festival is here.
“The fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, the seventh day of the Zhongyuan Festival, and the tenth day of the Lantern Festival are the birthdays of the Three Officials. The Heavenly Official blesses, the Earthly Official forgives sins, and the Water Official relieves disasters. Set up an altar to offer sacrifices.”
The fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, the Heavenly Official blesses.
At this time, the streets are decorated with lights, people come and go to watch lion dances and lanterns, and sit around to eat Yuanxiao.
The streets of Qinghe have never been so lively.
Young men and women took to the streets.
The customs of the Yu Kingdom were open, and there were many female warriors, so there was no saying that women could not show their faces, but only on the Lantern Festival could you see so many men and women at a time.
Li Rui walked on the street.
An old man seemed a little out of place.
After a while.
He entered an alley.
It became much quieter in an instant. He then walked through the small path in the middle of a house and could not see a single person.
After a while.
He came to a blacksmith shop.
“Senior Tie.”
Tie Kuang was talking to Liu Tiezhu about a knife blank.
The people on the street were all carefree boys and girls.
Craftsmen never say the Lantern Festival.
Tie Kuang turned his head and saw Li Rui, and snorted coldly: “Why haven’t you opened up the Qi Sea yet? It’s too slow.”
Li Rui was speechless.
He really thought that the Qi Sea could be opened whenever he wanted.
As long as the Qi Sea is opened up and stabilized a little, it will be a smooth journey, and the Guanhai realm is set in stone.
Guanhai, Guanhai, of course, the premise is that there is a sea.
With the sea, everything else will be natural.
This sea is the Qi Sea. Qi can form a sea, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it is of course that the amount of true Qi must be sufficient.
Masters of Guanhai Realm are qualified to be the leader of a prefecture’s major sect. It’s not that easy to break through.
Li Rui laughed and picked up the food box in his hand.
“Eat Yuanxiao.”
“Cook glutinous rice into balls and sugar into soup, which is called ‘Yuanzi'”
The Lantern Festival is the time to eat Yuanxiao.
Tie Kuang rolled his eyes: “Who eats that stuff that only women eat.”
A quarter of an hour later.
Three figures stood on tiptoe and squatted at the door of the blacksmith shop, each holding a bowl in his hand.
Tie Kuang’s cheeks bulged:
“It smells good.”
Li Rui: “Right, this is specially made by Zuixianlou. Ordinary people may not be able to buy it. I thought I would bring it to you to try.”
Tie Kuang ate more and more excited.
The fried Yuanxiao has a crispy skin and a soft and glutinous inside. The core is osmanthus, brown sugar, and bean paste, which is sweet and flowing.
It is much more exquisite than the ones sold at the stalls outside.
Tie Kuang was eating Yuanxiao, saying: “You kid, don’t think that a few Yuanxiao can fool me. If you can’t open the Qi Sea within a year, you have to spit out twice as much. By the way, the hammer is borrowed, and you have to return it when the time comes.”
“Yes, yes.”
Li Rui nodded repeatedly.
Of course he knew that the old man Tie was talking about the Divine Fire Burning Heaven Hammer.
This hammer is the treasure of the Divine Weapon Villa, and it is impossible for it to be left outside for a long time.
Li Rui took advantage of the good mood of the old man Tie and asked: “Senior, why does my true Qi automatically collapse every time I try to open the Qi Sea?”
Tie Kuang is a genuine fourth-grade innate master.
There are not many in the whole Yunzhou.
Now it’s not easy to meet him, and he is willing to give me advice, so of course I can’t miss it.
Tie Kuang chewed a fried Yuanxiao and swallowed it whole:
“That’s because you practiced too fast.”
After saying that.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He cursed: “I have lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I have seen your situation.”
“It is because I have been working as a blacksmith for many years and am proficient in bone-feeling that I can tell that you have only practiced martial arts for ten years at most.”
“You broke the mirror too quickly, so your true energy is not enough to settle.”
“Use the hammer I found and swing it thousands of times every day to help temper your true energy and solve your problem.”
Li Rui’s pupils shrank slightly.
His background had actually been seen by Tie Kuang a long time ago.
The methods of the innate warriors are indeed not predictable by mortals.
Tie Kuang looked at Li Rui deeply: “Fortunately, I, an old man, know some skills in bone-feeling, otherwise I would have been fooled by you and Jiang Linxian.”
“Fuck the royal secret guard.”
“Li kid, you are quite good at hiding.”
Li Rui just laughed.
Well, pretending to be stupid.
Tie Kuang rolled his eyes at this, and then sighed again: “It is probably only people like you who can live long, keep pretending.”
He has seen too many talented people.
But all of them died young because their talents were revealed too early.
You can’t become a talent without going through wind and rain.
But if you really go through wind and rain, you will become mud that crushes fertilizer if you are not careful.
This matter cannot be solved perfectly even by the big clan.
The guardians are useless.
I think Li Rui’s character has been perfected before he embarked on the martial arts, and the key is that he can break the mirror like a broken bamboo. This is the first time Tie Kuang has seen it in his life.
This can only prove that Li Rui’s original talent is terrible.
It’s just that he has been buried because of his background.
Good and bad are interdependent.
Tie Kuang thinks it’s not all bad.
Li Rui put away his smile and bowed to Tie Kuang: “Thank you, senior.”
Tie Kuang had seen through his background for a long time, but he did not publicize it to the public. He also took great pains to find him the Divine Fire Burning Heaven Hammer. It can be said that he took great pains.
“Open up the Qi Sea as soon as possible, and it would be best if you can jump out of the Guanhai Realm directly to help me forge the immortal weapon as soon as possible. Stop talking nonsense.”
Li Rui was not annoyed.
Tie Kuang has this temper.
He speaks just like his name, hard and crazy, but his heart is not bad. This is the advantage of technical talents.
Li Rui also likes to get along with people like Tie Laotou.
Practical.
Li Rui finished the fried Yuanxiao in the bowl: “Senior Tie, how confident are you of the immortal weapon?”
Tie Kuang’s face dimmed: “About 10%.”
“I hope I can make an immortal weapon before I die, so that I can have an explanation when I meet that old man later.”
Li Rui nodded.
10%.
It seems very low, but it is actually quite good.
There are not many people in the entire Yu Kingdom who dare to say that they can create immortal weapons.
Immortal soldiers will not die. Their large numbers are passed down from generation to generation and accumulated over time. In fact, they are even rarer than third-level warriors.
Tie Kuang regarded the creation of immortal weapons as his legacy.
After eating the Lantern Festival.
The sound of hammering was heard again in the blacksmith shop.
Tie Kuang and Liu Tiezhu are very similar to some extent. Both of them are idiots and will never get tired of blacksmithing.
It stands to reason.
With Li Rui, Tie Kuang no longer needs to make money from iron.
But as Tie Kuang said, idleness is idleness.
If you don’t fight for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over.
Li Rui couldn’t help much, so he stood up and walked back to the colorful streets.
On a busy street.
Boys and girls gathered in groups.
Li Rui walked alone.
After the Lantern Festival.
The year is completely over.
Farmers have begun to prepare for the busy farming season, and there are many more merchants in the Trade Department than before.
The days passed.
In the office of the Municipal Trade Department, Liang He took a piece of paper and handed it to Li Rui respectfully:
“Master, this is the list provided by Zhongxian Cheng.”
Li Rui nodded: “Okay.”
He took the list from Liang He and read it carefully.
On this list, all the people around Zhuang Renhe are marked.
‘So who is spying? ’
Li Rui murmured.
He looked at the smoke deep in his consciousness, the color had turned deep red.
Danger is coming!
And it all started at the county government party two years ago. Since that day, the color of the smoke has become increasingly red.
It is almost certain that it should be related to Zhuang Renhe.
Li Rui was just puzzled.
He had already “turned over” his immortal energy, so why were the people from the Guiming Sect still lingering?
‘Or is it that Zhuang Renhe has other intentions? ’
Zhuang Ren and a county magistrate were watched by countless people in every move they made, so it was impossible to spy on him all the time.
So it must be his men.
Li Rui then used his connections to approach Zhongxian Cheng.
The county government cannot be monolithic in the first place. It is a routine operation for the second-in-command to take advantage of the first-in-command and seize the opportunity to take over.
Zhongxian Cheng gave the list to Li Rui quite readily.
Today Liang He went to the county government office and brought back the list.
Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.
He said to Liang He: “Give a copy of this list to the Second Alliance Leader and the Third Alliance Leader, and ask them to send people to keep an eye on these people and report their whereabouts to me every day.”
“yes.”
Liang He took the list, then turned around and left.
Li Rui’s eyes were profound.
He is no longer what he was back then, and there are many ways to investigate a person.
That person can look him up.
Of course he can check.
The county government has great energy, but the Tiandi Alliance also has its own advantages.
The beggars on the street, the vendors on the roadside, and the dark gates in the city.
The gangsters in the eyes of others are the spies of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Most of these people looked down upon, so they were all bribed by the Heaven and Earth Alliance and were called “Sparrows”.
Of course it’s all Li Rui’s handiwork.
There is nothing he can do elsewhere, but in Qinghe, he has fifty years of experience.
Maybe he is not as good as that person in terms of force.
But as a human being, you must eat and buy things. As long as you go out, you will leave traces.
It can also be analyzed through these whereabouts.
Sometimes small things can actually have a big effect.
“Let me see who it is!”
