Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 248

c248 The legacy of the dragon

“My guest, please take a look and buy whatever you like.”

The vendor at the stall saw Li Rui stop.

Immediately shouted enthusiastically.

Li Rui stepped forward.

He looked at a piece of emerald green and round jade that the vendor placed in the most conspicuous place in the middle.

“How to sell this jade?”

The vendor looked at Li Rui and blinked.

‘A native of Yu? ’

Suddenly, he beamed with joy.

Hello, Yu people!

There are now many caravans from the Yu State in Wubei City. Each of these people has a lot of money, and they are even more generous with jade.

“My guest, it’s not expensive. You can take it home with you for ten thousand taels.”

Li Rui rolled his eyes: “One thousand.”

When the hawker heard this, he immediately straightened his face and said, “Guest, please don’t be joking. There is no way you can cut off the price by 90%.”

Li Rui had a look of regret on his face: “It seems that the old man is not lucky enough, so let’s forget it.”

Finished.

He was about to stand up and leave.

Just after taking a few steps, I heard the hawker calling: “Hey, let’s talk some more.”

Li Rui seemed not to hear and walked forward on his own.

Seeing that Li Rui was really about to leave, the vendor ran out of the stall and grabbed Li Rui: “Sir, the price can be negotiated.”

“Three thousand, give me three thousand and I’ll sell it to you.”

Li Rui didn’t even raise his eyelids: “One thousand one hundred taels.”

“Two thousand five hundred taels, no more.”

“One thousand two hundred taels.”

“Hey, sir, you can’t do this in business.”

In the end, Li Rui bought the jade for 1,500 taels. While watching the hawker packing things, he picked up a large gray-white stone and said, “This thing is a bit strange, so I gave it to me. Take it back and put it at home.”

The hawker glanced at it and grinned: “If you like it, sir, just take it.”

Li Rui was not polite, picked up the big stone, and took the wrapped jade from the vendor.

Then he went straight back to the room.

In the empty room, Li Rui sat alone by the bed.

The jade he bought for a thousand taels of silver was thrown aside casually, his eyes fixed on the gray-white stone placed on his knees.

“This stone exudes dragon energy.”

“It’s really ambergris!”

Everyone thinks that ambergris is the excrement of whales in the sea, but in fact, there is real ambergris in the world.

It is the crystallization of the dragon above the third level after death.

That’s real ambergris.

Li Rui never expected that he would see such a legendary creature at a stall in Wubeicheng.

It’s really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes!

‘The dragon must have been dead for at least ten thousand years. The dragon energy of the ambergris has been completely concealed. If I hadn’t been in the shape of a dragon, I wouldn’t have been able to see it. ’

Good luck.

A real stroke of luck!

The corners of Li Rui’s mouth raised slightly involuntarily.

If this ambergris were placed on the market, its value would be immeasurable.

And more importantly, ambergris is an excellent material for raising immortal soldiers and helping the spirit koi to cross the dragon gate.

“Senior Iron should like it very much.”

Li Rui plans to give this ambergris to Tie Kuang to help him fulfill his dream of forging immortal weapons.

He has always had the temperament to repay kindness with a drop of water and a spring of spring.

If it weren’t for Tie Kuang, he would still be working hard to open up the Qi Sea, and it’s even more likely that he would have been stuck in progress because of his unstable foundation.

Tie Kuang spent a lot of effort to borrow the Fire Burning Sky Hammer, which helped him a big favor.

Of course I have to repay this kindness.

‘An unexpected surprise. ’

Li Rui found a large wooden box and put the ambergris into the box.

Because this ambergris had been buried for too long, it contained too many impurities and needed to be refined by Tie Kuang before it could be used.

That is to say, southern Xinjiang has always been a place where monsters and beasts gather, so it is possible to encounter such buried treasures. If they are placed in the Yu Kingdom, there is almost no possibility of missing them.

At noon.

Tan Hu and others walked out of the room one after another.

Everyone looked refreshed.

Like a general who has won a battle.

“Brother Li.”

“Boss Li.”

Tan Hu and others greeted Li Rui when they saw him sitting in the courtyard.

Li Rui saw a few people and stood up with the box in hand: “Let’s go, it’s time for us to return to Qinghe.”

Tan Hu was a little reluctant: “We’re already here, why not play a little longer and communicate more with Brother Dao.”

Li Rui rolled his eyes.

Communicate with Dao Mo?

The communication with the witch girls is pretty much the same.

He could see through Tan Hu and others’ thoughts at a glance.

On normal days, it would be okay to stay for two more days, but now that I have ambergris, in order to prevent long nights and nightmares, it is better to get it to Tie Kuang as soon as possible.

Regarding the casting of immortal weapons, Li Rui treated it as his top priority.

“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, let’s go.”

Seeing that Li Rui had exposed his thoughts, Tan Hu smiled naively: “Listen to me!”

Immediately.

Li Rui led Benhuqi and a few people to Dao Mo.

After explaining his intention.

Dao Mo naturally wanted to persuade him to stay, but in the end, seeing that Li Rui was resolute, he stopped trying to persuade him.

“Brother Li, please remember to come here often.”

“must.”

Li Rui said goodbye and then left the border of Wu Kingdom under the escort of Wu Kingdom’s army.

Exited the Yu State checkpoint.

After galloping five hundred miles overnight, we returned to Qinghe.

Boom, boom, boom.

Ugly time.

The doors of every house were closed tightly, and there was a rapid knock on the door at the blacksmith shop.

“Who is it, disturbing your dreams at night?”

“If you want to do blacksmithing during the day, you’re out of business.”

The knocking on the door didn’t stop.

“Master?”

Liu Tiezhu opened the door of the blacksmith shop sleepily and was excited when he saw Li Rui.

“Master, why are you here?”

Li Rui smiled slightly and lifted the big wooden box in his hand: “Send something to Senior Tie.”

Liu Tiezhu said oh and was about to turn around and call Tie Kuang.

Liu Tiezhu was startled when he saw Tie Kuang appearing behind him at some point. He clearly remembered that when he got up just now, Old Man Tie was still snoring louder than thunder. In the blink of an eye, he even put on his clothes. .

Damn it.

“Send it to me?”

Tie Kuang looked at Li Rui with interest.

Now is the ugly time. Except for the farmers who are feeding the cows and horses, almost everyone is sleeping. It is not etiquette to give things at this time.

But Li Rui is not someone who doesn’t understand the rules.

It must be something important to come to him in the middle of the night. Since it is a gift, it must be something important.

What is important to Tie Kuang?

Of course it can only be a treasure related to Immortal Soldiers.

Tie Kuang couldn’t help but wonder what Li Rui would give him.

“Yes, senior, let’s see.”

Said.

Li Rui opened the lid of the big wooden box, revealing the large gray-white stone contained in the wooden box.

Tie Kuang and Liu Tiezhu’s eyes were quickly attracted to the big stone.

“Master, this is this”

Liu Tiezhu looked at it for a long time, but he didn’t see anything interesting.

This big stone looks like it is just a stone, there is nothing strange about it.

He thought about all the rare materials he knew, but still had no clue.

Tie Kuang also frowned slightly.

It’s not just Liu Tiezhu who can’t figure out what to do, he, the great weapon maker, is also confused.

It seems to be really just an ordinary, even a little ugly stone.

“Little Li, tell me.”

Tie Kuang has always been willing to ask questions about areas he doesn’t know about.

Li Rui slowly spit out three words: “Ambergris.”

“Ambergris”

Tie Kuang and Liu Tiezhu couldn’t help but repeat it.

Tie Kuang’s eyes suddenly became sharp. He picked up the gray-white stone, first knocked it with his knuckles, and then put his nose up to smell it for a long time.

Looking in confusion: “Little Li, how did you know that this thing is ambergris?”

According to the records in ancient books.

Ambergris should have a peculiar fragrance that can be smelled from ten miles away, otherwise it would not be called “fragrant”.

Li Rui explained: “This ambergris has been in the dust for thousands of years. I accidentally obtained it when I went to the Wu Kingdom. I need to ask my seniors to remove the dregs and preserve the essence before its true form can be revealed.”

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Tie Kuang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He immediately urged Liu Tiezhu to work late at night.

“ignition.”

“start!”

After a while, the room was illuminated red by the stove.

After Tie Kuang carefully put the gray-white stone into the iron furnace, his energy sank into his dantian, and the fire-shaped true energy was slowly poured into the furnace.

The hot Qi burned the air and deformed it.

Tie Kuang’s eyes were burning.

soon.

Under the gazes of Li Rui and Liu Tiezhu, the blackened stone began to peel off layer by layer, and then melted.

at the same time.

A refreshing and strange aroma wafted out of the stove.

“It’s really fragrant!”

This fragrance is more noble than agarwood worth one or two thousand gold.

Tie Kuang frowned slightly.

Immediately grasp it with your hands.

The fire-shaped Qi instantly sealed the inside of the stove, and no trace of aroma leaked out.

Li Rui understood Tie Kuang’s intention.

In addition to the government officials and Anning Guards, there are also people from the eight major sects in the city. It would be troublesome to attract those people.

With continuous refining.

In the end, there were only three thumb-sized, crystal clear stone beads left in the stove.

See this.

Tie Kuang slowly regained his true energy.

He couldn’t help laughing loudly: “It’s really ambergris, God help me!”

This ambergris is a divine item that warms and nourishes the dragon-shaped weapon spirit. It can only be found but not sought.

Even the royal treasury is not much.

Even he couldn’t do it, and in the end, Li Rui was brought to him so neatly.

“Okay, very good.”

Tie Kuang looked at Li Rui with admiration: “With this ambergris, the speed of raising soldiers will be greatly increased. I can create immortal soldiers, and you should be the first to do so.”

This time I came to Qinghe, I came to the right place.

If not for meeting Li Rui.

In fact, he has no possibility of playing immortal weapons at all.

Even 10% is still slim.

Li Rui was sincerely happy about this: “As long as I can help the seniors.”

Tie Kuang groaned: “This ambergris is precious, I will find a way to compensate you.”

Li Rui suddenly became solemn:

“Senior, if anything, this is just a little thought from this junior.”

Tie Kuang raised his eyebrows.

Good guy.

Ambergris, a little care.

The tribute to the emperor is probably of this level, which is not small at all.

Tie Kuang finally figured out that Li Rui was targeting him.

“Come on, come on, come on, my hands are really tight now, just think of it as something I owe you.”

Li Rui chuckled:

“We are all members of our own family, so we don’t owe anything.”

Tie Kuang squinted his eyes and pretended to sigh.

‘What a terrible young man. ’

This is ambergris.

Even if it is not used as material for raising soldiers, for a person like Li Rui who has a dragon shape, it is also a great tonic, no worse than the Great Pill.

Li Rui’s hand is really big.

At least if it were him, he would definitely be reluctant to part with it.

Li Rui laughed.

Reluctant?

Of course a little.

But for him, this ambergris is an unexpected gain, which is worth one thousand taels. From another perspective, spending one thousand taels can make his relationship with Tie Kuang even better.

It’s a big profit!

When Li Rui returned to An Ningwei’s home, the sky was already a little white.

The work was done.

Li Rui felt relaxed.

Back in the house, he didn’t feel sleepy anymore, so he simply picked up the knife beside him and practiced until dawn.

“Master, when did you come back?”

Early in the morning.

Wang Zhao just got up and saw Li Rui practicing with the knife, and was a little surprised.

If I remember correctly.

Didn’t the master go out of the city?

Li Rui smiled slightly: “I came back in the early morning. I thought you were all asleep, so I didn’t call you.”

“Oh.”

Wang Zhao didn’t think much about it, just nodded, and then went to cook porridge.

Now he is the only young man left in the yard, so he should be quick.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The boiling hot meat porridge was out of the pot.

Smelling the fragrance of rice, Yang Yong walked out of the door.

Li Rui looked at his old brother: “Old Yang, I asked someone in the capital to ask for a pill that has the effect of prolonging life. It should arrive in a few days.”

Yang Yong felt a little distressed: “I am a useless old thing. Why waste that good thing? Just leave it for Xiao Zhao and others to eat.”

He felt that his life was worth it.

Living one more day in the future would be a big profit.

When he was young, who dared to think of living in a big house with four entrances and eating big meat every meal.

I dare not even think about it.

It was because Li Rui, the elder brother, was righteous. Otherwise, he would not want to see his old friend after he became rich. This situation was normal in the State of Yu.

Li Rui was a minority among the minority.

So he did not dare to ask for more.

Li Rui glared at Yang Yong: “What, are you trying to get ahead of me again?”

He, a white-haired man, had sent too many black-haired people away.

He really wanted to keep Yang Yong, the old friend, for a little longer.

He was only seventy years old. If he could find some more longevity pills to supplement his health, it should not be a big problem to live to a hundred years old.

“I tell you, kid, you have to live to at least a hundred years old. Then I will go to the court to ask for a reward.”

Yang Yong was also happy when he heard this:

“Okay, okay, a hundred years is a hundred years.”

There were many warriors who lived to be a hundred years old, but for ordinary people, a hundred years old was pitifully rare, and there was often not even one in a city.

The court regarded the seventy-year-old man as a meritorious service to the world, and the centenarian was the centenarian among the centenarians.

It is a sign of great prosperity.

The emperor might even send an imperial envoy to visit.

What a great honor!

The three people in Li’s house ate meat porridge.

Li Rui chatted with his old friend Yang Yong for a while. He had been busy with official business and practicing martial arts during this period, so he had very few opportunities to talk to Yang Yong.

Until noon.

Yang Yong was impatient with what he said and wanted to go out to play mahjong.

Li Rui then happily walked out of Anningwei with his hands behind his back.
