Evergreen Immortal

Above the Dantian Qi Sea.

The waves rolled.

Above the vast sea, there was a mirage, like the legendary fairy palace, with misty clouds and fairy air. You could vaguely see two ancient and vast stone gates standing on it, one in the south and one in the west.

Just then.

The fairy palace began to shake slightly.

To the north of the fairy palace, a stone gate that looked roughly the same as the South Heaven Gate and the West Heaven Gate slowly rose.

Seeing this stone gate.

Li Rui's breathing stagnated instantly.

"North Heaven Gate!"

A quarter of an hour later, the North Heaven Gate finally appeared completely to the north of the fairy palace, with mottled marks all over it, as if it had been chopped by countless swords and weapons, and the killing intent was about to tear the sky apart.

'It is said that the north is the main war, and the North Heaven Gate is adjacent to the Demon Realm. The war between the ancient fairy court and the Demon Realm started from the North Heaven Gate. ’

‘The one guarding Beitianmen is a famous war god in the ancient fairy court, and he doesn’t need to kneel when he sees the fairy emperor. ’

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Li Rui’s eyes.

Beitianmen’s main killing intent just fits in with Baizhan’s killing intent. After absorbing enough Baizhan’s killing intent, he accidentally aroused Beitianmen’s killing intent.

Allowing the fairy form to condense Beitianmen.

An unexpected surprise!

Li Rui’s mouth couldn’t help but rise.

If there was no Baizhan’s killing intent, this Beitianmen would probably become a bottleneck for him.

No other reason.

There are too few people to kill.

His talent is indeed high enough, but it doesn’t mean that everything will go smoothly. Killing intent can only be obtained by killing people.

The number of times he has taken action is very few.

If we really compare the number of people he has killed, except for some civil servants, he can almost be ranked last.

The killing intent is naturally impossible to be too strong.

It is even more impossible to arouse Beitianmen’s killing intent.

Yuan Dingting was the military saint of the Yu Kingdom, a veteran of thousands of battles. His hands were covered with the blood of countless enemies, not to mention that he later became the governor. The cause and effect of killing intent were all gathered in him.

His killing intent from hundreds of battles was naturally unparalleled.

Such killing intent helped Li Rui a lot.

‘The killing of the Lord of Beitian Sect will definitely be of great benefit to the combat power. ’

Li Rui’s eyes were shining.

Thinking of this.

He shook his right hand, and the Cangfeng appeared in his hand.

Just the moment he got it, a strange feeling spread in his heart.

Familiar.

Extremely familiar.

At this moment, Li Rui felt that he was a master of weapons, and countless details of weapons emerged in his mind involuntarily.

The next moment.

He swung his arm slowly, and Cangfeng swung it.

Every move was smooth and natural, without a trace of stagnation.

At this moment.

Li Rui seemed to have entered the realm of man and sword unity, and for a moment he was a little selfless, and the sword intent was wantonly splashed.

There was no sun or moon in the secret room.

I don't know how long it took before I woke up from the strange feeling.

Li Rui looked at the barrier knife in his hand and muttered to himself:

"Is this the function of Beitianmen?"

Nantianmen and Xitianmen both gave Li Rui a special ability, and Beitianmen was no exception, the ability was weapon specialization.

Literally.

Li Rui became a weapon master, and any weapon in his hands could increase the lethality by more than 50%.

Beitianmen is the master of killing.

How to kill?

Of course, it is to use swords, so it is common sense to strengthen the ability of swords.

The lethality of weapons is increased by 50%?

What a concept, this is equivalent to raising the combat power by at least 30%!

This is the realm that those sword and gun masters dream of.

Li Rui mastered it so well.

'The fairy form is indeed extraordinary! '

As the realm grows, the strength of the fairy form gradually reveals itself. The dragon form was originally powerful enough, but in comparison with the fairy form, it was somewhat eclipsed.

With one form in hand, the world is mine!

Originally, Li Rui had the idea of ​​opening up other forms, but as he got to know more about the immortal form,

he gave up the idea.

The immortal form and dragon form alone were enough to consume all his energy.

Continuing to open up the forms would not only be useless for combat power, but would also distract his attention.

The gains would not outweigh the losses.

So it is better to specialize in two forms. As a person, you should not be too greedy.

Not all the strong men in the world are like Jiang Linxian, who opened up nine forms of energy in a terrifying way.

‘Nine swords opened at the same time, that scene must be spectacular.’

When Li Rui thought of Jiang Linxian’s nine flying swords, his heart was hot.

If I had known earlier,

I should have let Jiang Linxian, who was still in Qinghe, perform them. In this way, I could simulate them in the Great Dream of the Immortal.

I could also test how many swords I could block.

Now it is too late to regret.

When Li Rui opened the secret room and walked out of the room, he saw Wang Zhao and Tan Hu guarding the door.

Seeing that the two of them had dark circles under their eyes.

Li Rui knew that this time he would be in seclusion for a long time.

Seeing Li Rui come out, Wang Zhao and Tan Hu stood up suddenly.

"Master, you finally came out."

Wang Zhao looked at Li Rui and said in surprise.

It really came true.

He just said that his master was in seclusion and would not see guests, but he didn't expect Li Rui to really go into seclusion.

During this period of time.

He can finally tell those who want to visit him that my master is in seclusion, and he doesn't have to say those words against his will.

"How long have I been in seclusion?"

Li Rui asked curiously.

Tan Hu replied: "Brother, you have been in the room for four days and four nights."

"So long?"

Even Li Rui was shocked.

And since entering that special state, he didn't even feel hungry.

He didn't eat or drink for four days and four nights, but he still felt full of energy and his fighting power was at a super peak level.

Tan Hu rubbed his hands: "Brother, did you have another epiphany?"

Li Rui blinked: "I guess so."

Tan Hu looked at Wang Zhao, and there seemed to be words written on his face.

It said "Look, am I right?"

Tan Hu had long been immune to Li Rui's epiphany. The luck that others dreamed of became a commonplace for Li Rui, as if he could have an epiphany while eating or sleeping.

'No way, who says my brother is a real genius. '

Tan Hu grinned:

"Brother, teach me any tricks, I also want to have an epiphany."

"."

"Huzi, some things are innate."

In a blink of an eye.

Another month.

"Sir, this is something sent from the capital."

A post station messenger came to the military mansion, trembling with fear.

"Thank you for your hard work, Huzi. Prepare some hard-earned silver for the little brother."

The officer was shocked.

'It is said that Lord Li of Anningwei is generous, and it is true. '

He is just a small errand boy at the post station, but he can be called a little brother by a dignified military officer. He can brag about it for a long time in the future.

The officer left.

Li Rui looked at the big box that was as high as his knees.

These are all ancient books sent from the Imperial Observatory. He did not find Jiang Linxian, but Yao Xue.

Although Jiang Linxian always called him brother, he was only a fifth-rank and she was a terrestrial immortal. The gap was too big. If he really regarded himself as a big brother, it would be troublesome.

It is more appropriate to find Yao Xue.

Just as he thought.

Take a look at the book bar without any mistakes!

These ancient books are not valuable in the Imperial Observatory. Yao Xue, as Li Rui's pen pal in the capital, sent these things with just one letter.

It's like asking "Are you there?" in the previous life, and the things came.

Open the box.

It's full of books.

"Wow."

You can tell from the yellowed cover that they are all old things.

Li Rui opened a book at random and started reading.

"A man who seeks longevity and cultivates the Tao, the secret lies in ambition, not in wealth and honor, but in learning the method of immortality. If you want to be peaceful and indifferent, you should eliminate your desires, look inward and listen, and live without thoughts."

He is now a soldier.

If you want to be free, you have plenty of time.

Practicing martial arts and flipping through books, it's a familiar feeling.

When flipping through books.

Only then did he see a piece of letter on the side of the big box full of ancient books.

It should be Yao Xue's reply.

Li Rui put down the ancient book in his hand, picked up the letter, pinched it with two fingers and opened it.

"Senior Li is determined to seek immortality and ask for the way. I admire him deeply. I have found these ancient books, which may be inspiring. It has been several years since we parted in Qinghe. I hope we can meet in Beijing one day. Looking forward to it. Yao Xue's name."

From the previous letters, Li Rui knew that since Gu Louzhu became the director of the Imperial Observatory.

In addition to the mysterious old Taoist Xu Xuan who is hard to find, and Qu Chengfeng who was sent to serve as an official in the imperial examination, the Wenxian Tower has no one.

Old Taoist Zhang and Yao Xue seem to be trapped in the imperial city.

At most, they can walk around the capital, and they can't leave the city at all.

There is nothing they can do.

The more noble the status, the more restrictions there are.

Isn't it the same for the emperor?

If it weren't for these rules that follow you all the time, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

Who in the world is not a bird in a cage?

From the words in Yao Xue's reply, it is not difficult to see that Yao Xue doesn't seem to like the palace.

But since she became a disciple of Wenxian Tower and Master Gu became the director of the Imperial Observatory, everything has been out of her control.

But how many people in the world can do whatever they want?

Li Rui picked up the pen and wrote a few hundred words.

It's not that he sympathized with Yao Xue's experience.

Others helped to find so many ancient books. If they can't help, they should provide some emotional value.

Right?

"Li Rui is still in seclusion?"

He Wanchun sat on the chair in the main hall of Guiyun Sect with an expressionless face.

A disciple bowed and said:

"Yes, Lord Li is in seclusion and does not see guests. I heard that he not only does not see our Guiyun Sect, but also other sects."

He Wanchun narrowed his eyes slightly:

"This Lord Li is quite interesting."

However, in his opinion, seclusion is probably fake, and avoiding suspicion is real.

How can a warrior be in seclusion for a month? Is he cultivating immortals?

Li Rui obviously doesn't want other forces to interfere in the business of monsters, so he did it on purpose.

"How is the situation in Wu Country?"

"We have sent people to investigate, but I heard that the old dog has surrendered to the rebels in Wu Country, which is a bit tricky."

He Wanchun's heart sank.

The number of monsters in Yu Country is not large, and the court has made monsters legitimate, and many of them cannot be moved, so they are inevitably restricted.

So their Guiyun Sect's beast control lineage has always been in secret contact with Wu Country.

Until two months ago.

The monster dealer in Wu Country suddenly lost contact.

Without the monsters, the beast control lineage will become a joke.

So He Wanchun, the leader of the lineage, came to Qinghe in person to preside over it, just for the monsters.

But once the path is broken, it is not so easy to continue it.

The Guiyun Sect is a big sect, but no matter how long its hands are, it can't reach Wu Country.

And there are four branches in Guiyun Sect, and the beast control branch is weak, and it is even less likely to get much support.

That's why they want to get in touch with Li Rui.

But from Li Rui's current attitude, it is not easy for Guiyun Sect to get involved.

They can only find another way.

The young disciple was about to leave, but was stopped by He Wanchun:

"Go prepare a gift, remember to make it heavy."

"Prepare a gift?"

The young disciple was a little surprised.

He Wanchun nodded: "Yes, prepare the carriage and horses, and follow me to Qianhe Martial Arts School tomorrow."

In front of a gray, magnificent mansion with a very large area.

There was a lot of noise.

Crackling.

A large piece of gray-black fog floated in the air, and after a burst of harsh firecrackers, a large group of people came in one after another, holding heavy boxes in their hands.

It shows that the gift will not be light.

Today is the day when Qianhe Martial Arts School opens to accept disciples.

The masters of the 17 martial arts schools in Qinghe all came to congratulate.

In fact, according to the rules of the Qinghe martial arts school circle, if a new master wants to come to Qinghe to take in disciples, he must first visit the masters of the 17 martial arts schools one by one, and more than half of them must agree before he can open the school.

Otherwise, it would be a violation of the rules. Even if the school is opened forcibly, there will be countless troubles later.

As for how to visit?

That's even simpler.

Both sides choose an apprentice, and as long as their own apprentice can beat the other's apprentice, it is considered a successful visit to the school.

Half of the agreement actually means that half of the martial arts schools have been defeated.

Some people will ask?

Then why not let the master fight directly, but let the apprentice come.

This involves a face issue.

Those who can open a school are all well-known figures in the world. If they win, it's fine. If they lose, it will be difficult for both the visitor and the master to have the opportunity to open a school again. If you lose face, who would be willing to worship you as a master?

Don’t be too ruthless in destroying people’s wealth and making enemies.

So a compromise was thought out.

That is to let the apprentice come to visit the school.

In this way, even if he loses, it will be the apprentice who loses, and the impact on the master will not be too great.

Both sides can maintain the final dignity.

The previous 17 martial arts schools all went through this, but only Qianhe Martial Arts School made an exception.

Even before the opening of the school, the owner of Qianhe Martial Arts School did not inform the 17 colleagues.

But for this.

The 17 people had no opinion at all, or dared not to have one.

Why?

The strong dragon suppressed the local snake.

It was because the owner of Qianhe Martial Arts School had a very loud nickname - White Crane Divine Fist.

Or it can also be called.
