Evergreen Immortal

Bang!

The five fingers were slightly bent like eagle claws, and the hard rock shattered inch by inch in Li Rui's hand, and finally turned into a pile of powder with a crisp sound.

"The power of a thousand catties."

Nowadays, it can be regarded as a great ability.

Li Rui estimated that after reaching the golden bone, his strength finally reached the thousand-pound mark.

His strength has doubled.

This is a sign that the bronze bones are completed.

When ordinary martial arts masters reach this stage, they will try to break through the willow tendon realm, but of course Li Rui, who has martial arts bones, will not be limited to this.

Nowadays, he has no shortage of resources, bones, and skills. Of course, he must reach the jade bone realm.

Only by laying a solid foundation in the early stages can you go further.

If you are just satisfied with a seventh-grade one, you are wasting your resources, and a whole body of martial arts is a waste.

No matter how good your talent is, it doesn't happen overnight, you have to practice hard.

Li Rui looked at the empty wooden box.

In order to break through the golden bone just now, I also took the last bone-strengthening pill.

I originally thought it would last for at least two months, but I didn't expect to finish it in just seven days.

Of course, the progress is also quite gratifying.

"More pills are needed."

Alchemy room.

The red flame under the alchemy furnace made the sound of firewood and grease exploding, creating a fiery scene.

Li Rui and Jiang Cheng looked at the alchemy furnace nervously.

"Wait, wait."

"ten."

"Nine."

"one."

"It's done!"

Almost at the moment Li Rui finished speaking, Jiang Chengcheng rushed to the alchemy furnace, opened the lid and took out the elixir inside.

Suddenly, the fragrance of elixirs overflowed.

"The potency of the medicine has increased by at least 40%, almost to the level of a seventh-grade elixir."

After Jiang Cheng determined the grade of the spiritual pill, he felt incredible.

During this period, his level of alchemy increased greatly.

It is inseparable from Li Rui's exquisite control of the heat.

"This is your part of the elixir."

Jiang Cheng took out seven of the more than ten pills and handed them to Li Rui.

The two-person cooperation mode has been improved.

Li Rui provided some of the medicinal materials bought on the black market, and then helped Jiang Cheng refine the elixir. After the elixir was completed, he took away the elixir of equal value and kept the rest in the medicine hall.

This way.

Li Rui can obtain a rich variety of higher-grade elixirs, and Jiang Cheng can also find more elixir recipes for Li Rui to improve the control of the heat.

A win-win situation.

Li Rui got the elixir and was happy to leave.

But seeing that Jiang Cheng had no intention of leaving, he started another pot of ordinary elixirs.

After this period of edification.

Li Rui also knew something about the elixir. From a casual listen, it should be a potion for treating knife wounds.

This is already the third time today.

He keenly sensed something was wrong.

Medicine to treat knife wounds is indeed often used in places like the Tiandi Alliance where fighting and killing are frequent, but today's quantity is too much.

"I'm afraid something happened to the sub-rudder, otherwise we wouldn't suddenly have to stock up on so many healing medicines."

Li Rui asked tentatively: "Xiao Jiang, who wants to refine these elixirs?"

Jiang Cheng was obsessed with alchemy and had a simple mind. He answered without thinking: "It is something ordered by the Blade Master himself. He said that he will use it soon to deal with the Ghost Sect."

"really."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had heard the news before that Zhang Zhixian summoned all the important figures in Qinghe to meet and join forces to deal with the Guiming Sect.

It seems that action will be taken soon.

"How about I just pretend to be sick?"

Li Rui pondered.

Because of his old age, Dao Xiong did not allow him to participate in the actions of the Ghost Sect.

But if the guarantee is not complete, it will be due to lack of manpower and the old issues will be brought up again.

"You would never ask a sick old man to fight for life or death."

Li Rui is sick.

I caught the wind and chill and lay in bed for several days.

During this period, both Wu Tu and Zhang Yang came to see it, and there was no doubt that it was cold.

A warrior's body is strong, but that doesn't mean he won't get sick. In this world, warriors can also get sick, and they will die if they are not treated for a long time. The eighth level is far from being invulnerable to all evil.

Faking illness will be discovered sooner or later.

Once word reaches Dao Xiong or even Tang Sheng, things will be very troublesome.

Li Rui wanted to catch the cold.

But after staying in the ice cellar for four full days and nights, I finally got my wish.

A little pain of flesh and blood can be exchanged for not taking risks.

He felt it was worth it.

Sure enough.

Just a few days after he fell ill, Dao Xiong summoned the Qinghe branch to encircle and suppress the Ghost Sect. This time, all the deacons and hall masters were dispatched.

Originally Li Rui was also included in the list.

But after Dao Xiong heard that Li Rui was ill, he came to Li's house to take a look.

Then considering that Li Rui was indeed old and sick, it was really inappropriate.

And if you think about it carefully, the matter of encircling and suppressing the Ghost Sect is a secret. Very few people know about it. It is impossible for Li Rui to get sick at the right time.

Just give up.

Of course Li Rui understood that Dao Xiong was here for a visit on the surface, but in fact he wanted to personally determine whether he was pretending to be ill.

And if he is in his prime, he will not be able to escape even if he is really caught by the cold.

This is the effect of superimposing the two.

"Older age does have preferential treatment."

That night.

Qinghe Branch of the Tiandi Alliance took action.

Tianyitang had too few people, so neither Liang He nor Zhou Shulin went there, but the black market mobilized a lot of people.

Li Zhai, in the room.

"Old Li Tou, you are so old, don't run around all day long, our body is not as strong as it used to be."

Yang Yong walked in with a bowl of hot soup.

"Quick, drink."

Li Rui took the hot soup and drank it.

He didn't tell anyone about his deliberate illness, so Yang Yong and Wang Zhao didn't know the inside story. Besides, it was normal for an old man to get sick. It was rare for an old man to be as energetic as Li Rui before.

Yang Yong looked worried.

He was really afraid that Old Li would pass away before him, and then there would be no one left in the world to talk to.

When people get old, the most fearful thing is loneliness.

"Where's Xiao Zhao?"

Li Rui asked.

Wang Zhao hadn't been seen for a long time.

Yang Yong: "In the kitchen, the kid boiled the medicine soup for five hours and didn't dare to close his eyes for a moment."

"He's a thoughtful child."

Li Rui smiled faintly.

Although Wang Zhao was not smart enough, he was sincere and willing to endure hardships. Which elder wouldn't like him?

Li Rui drank the medicine.

He picked up the "Dadong Zhenjing" beside him and started flipping through it.

Practicing martial arts right after getting sick is too eye-catching. It's better to read Taoist scriptures.

Reading books all night.

The dim candlelight flickered. Fortunately, Li Rui didn't lack the money for the lamp, otherwise the long night would be hard to endure.

Unconsciously.

He fell into a deep sleep.

Like a dream.

In front of him was a thick white fog that could not be dispersed. In the distance, he could vaguely see a corner of the palace eaves. There seemed to be dragons and phoenixes dancing in the clouds and mist, and the joyful sounds of fairy birds and beasts came to his ears.

Curling green smoke rose, and fell in front of the bamboo platform.

What a picture of the fairy mountain.

An old Taoist sang softly:

"Resting the essence and breathing nourishes the spirit, the essence nourishes the dantian and the qi nourishes the body.

If someone learns this technique, he will be immortal."
