Chapter 228

"This is?"

Li Rui was puzzled and didn't take the box immediately.

Dao Meng grinned:

"Xiaotang didn't let us open it, and I don't know either."

"Alright."

Li Rui pondered for a moment, but still took the small wooden box from Dao Meng's hand; since Xia Xiaotang didn't let Dao Meng and the others see it, he didn't open it either, but tucked it into his bosom.

After introducing Tang Hai to Dao Meng.

He found a quiet place.

He took out the small wooden box from his bosom and opened it slowly.

An elixir the size of a fist, pitch-black all over, with golden dragon patterns on it.

Li Rui frowned slightly.

He pondered in his mind for a long time.

But he couldn't find the type of elixir in front of him.

At this moment, he saw a small note pressed under the black-gold elixir, with a line of crooked words written on it, which looked like Xia Xiaotang's handwriting.

"This elixir is called the Daojun Shenhun Elixir, secretly made by the Wu Kingdom imperial family; legend has it that it has miraculous effects on awakening, specially offered to the Divine Lord."

The corners of Li Rui's mouth twitched.

Awakening...

Clearly, Xia Xiaotang had taken him for the Beast God and thought that if he took this elixir, he could recover the Beast God's strength faster.

The idea was very good.

It was just a pity that Li Rui was not the Beast God.

"Daojun Shenhun Elixir"

He recited these three words silently in his heart, his thoughts flying, and then he was shocked.

"One of the three great secret elixirs of the Wu Kingdom!"

Thinking of this.

Li Rui felt as if his heart had almost skipped a beat.

No wonder there were no images of this elixir in the ancient books he had read; it was because there were too few, too few people in the world who had seen the Daojun Shenhun Elixir.

So few that even those who wrote those ancient books had only heard the name and had never seen the true appearance of the Daojun Shenhun Elixir.

He stared fixedly at the black-gold elixir in front of him for a long time, finally exhaled a long breath, and muttered to himself:

"It really is the Daojun Shenhun Elixir!"

Legend has it that the founding Wu Lord of the Wu Kingdom awakened the Beast God bloodline and obtained the Beast God's inheritance: one technique, one magic tool, and three elixirs.

Relying on these few things, he conquered the ten thousand beasts of the Southern Border, established the Wu Kingdom, and achieved a thousand-generation hegemony.

That was why the Wu Kingdom imperial family claimed to be descendants of the Beast God.

This Daojun Shenhun Elixir was one of the three elixirs passed down by the Beast God.

"Legend has it that the Daojun Shenhun Elixir has the miraculous effect of helping people achieve enlightenment and turning a fool into a genius; it is a divine object that martial artists in the world dream of."

"But this Daojun Shenhun Elixir, I'm afraid even the princes and princesses of the Wu Kingdom might not necessarily have it."

The reason why a divine object is a divine object.

Besides having good effects, there was another indispensable characteristic, which was scarcity.

As far as he knew.

The number of people in the entire Wu Kingdom who could obtain the Daojun Shenhun Elixir would not exceed the number of fingers on two hands, and the vast majority of them were big shots at the peak of the mountains, or core members of the Wu Kingdom imperial family.

Without exception, they were all existences that Li Rui needed to look up to now.

He sighed softly.

"It seems I still underestimated Xia Xiaotang's identity."

Xia Xiaotang was probably not just a simple branch of the imperial family.

Otherwise, how could she take out the Daojun Shenhun Elixir?

Li Rui's gaze towards the Daojun Shenhun Elixir became heated.

Even with his mindset, it was difficult to remain calm when facing such a peerless divine object as the Daojun Shenhun Elixir.

"Enlightening children, restoring the spirit of the elderly."

This was the evaluation of the Daojun Shenhun Elixir's effects in ancient books.

The Wu Kingdom imperial family produced talent after talent, which was inseparable from this Daojun Shenhun Elixir.

Li Rui finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Return it?

Of course, that was impossible.

If heaven gives and you don't take, you will suffer the consequences.

What's more, the Daojun Shenhun Elixir was too precious and could allow his strength to have a huge leap.

Compared to the situation of killing people to seize treasures, the Daojun Shenhun Elixir was gifted by Xia Xiaotang, so the risk factor was much smaller.

Li Rui was not in a hurry to take the Daojun Shenhun Elixir.

As usual, he waited until the Trade Office closed, and then returned to his home in the Anning Guard as if nothing had happened.

As soon as he walked into his home.

He didn't even eat.

Dao Mo's peripheral vision saw Xia Xiaotang, whose face was pale, and he asked with concern:

Li Rui looked at the Daojun Shenhun Elixir in his hand, his eyes shining terrifyingly bright.

The Daojun Shenhun Elixir was different from other elixirs; no one knew what changes would occur after taking it.

The Trade Office was crowded with people, and there were people from the Wu Kingdom.

Even though this elixir was gifted by Xia Xiaotang, being discovered would be endless trouble, and there would be no way to explain it to the government or the Anning Guard.

A small official of the Yu Kingdom obtaining a secret elixir of the Wu Kingdom; no matter how you looked at it, it was unreasonable.

Lifting heavy weights as if they were light—that is the way of cultivation.

That was why he had been pretending that nothing had happened, waiting until he returned home to prepare to take the Daojun Shenhun Elixir.

To be precise, it should be gnawing.

The Daojun Shenhun Elixir was too big to be eaten in one bite.

Li Rui divided it into three bites before swallowing the fist-sized Daojun Shenhun Elixir into his belly.

A strange fragrance filled his mouth and nose in an instant.

Like a head-on infusion of wisdom!

Li Rui felt a coolness pouring down from the top of his head, his whole body cool; with just a single thought, thousands of images appeared in his mind, and the amount of information like a wild wolf would have been enough to make his head explode under normal circumstances.

But now, he even had energy to spare.

The Daojun Shenhun Elixir, terrifying to this extent!

No wonder the world called the Daojun Shenhun Elixir the supreme divine elixir for enlightenment.

Practicing martial arts in this state was no less than an epiphany; an artificially controlled epiphany—just thinking about it was scary.

For those martial artists stuck in bottlenecks, it was simply something they dreamed of.

A thought suddenly rose in Li Rui's heart.

Just as the medicinal effect was about to reach its peak, he slammed his head onto the pillow.

Eyes closed.

He fell asleep.

Consciousness revived; when he saw the hazy things in front of him, he had already appeared in the Dream Cloud Platform.

Li Rui immediately closed his eyes.

It took a long time before he opened his eyes.

"It worked."

The effect of the Daojun Shenhun Elixir was brought into the Great Dream Wandering Immortal!

His comprehension was already terrifying, and with the effect of the Daojun Shenhun Elixir, he almost reached the effect of an epiphany, plus the amplification of comprehension improvement from the Great Dream Wandering Immortal.

At this moment, his thinking speed was probably unmatched in the world. A state beyond epiphany!

Li Rui didn't know how long this state could last in the Great Dream Wandering Immortal, so he hurriedly sat cross-legged on the cloud platform and closed his eyes.

Martial intent appeared in his mind like stars in the sky.

In a trance.

He saw a figure holding a long saber, with his back to him, agile like a dragon, the saber dancing wildly, like a downpour.

At this time.

A low chant came to Li Rui's ears:

"The fourth form of the Wandering Dragon Six Slashes, Shocking a Hundred Miles!"

The saber momentum was domineering and fierce, changing Li Rui's style, pursuing only offense, exerting strength to the extreme, superimposing strength, with one saber's strength surpassing the previous one.

It actually had a bit of the style of his disciple Liu Tiezhu's hammer technique.

Every time the saber fell, it would stir up a gale on the cloud platform.

=9+Book_Bar

The next instant.

The saber technique changed.

Quiet as a mountain, the long saber hung low, seemingly motionless, but actually accumulating strength in secret.

Soon.

The saber intent on his body reached its peak; the saber intent nurtured by the Saber-Nurturing Style splashed out in an instant; in a trance, it seemed as if a divine dragon was raising its head towards the sky.

"The fifth form of the Wandering Dragon Six Slashes, Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

The low-hanging long saber swept up with the momentum of thunder.

There was a faint sound of wind and thunder.

If Qi Ze were hit by this saber, the number would probably change from eighteen to one.

A one-hit kill!

Just as the saber intent was unleashed to the extreme and the tip of the saber was about to slash the firmament.

Li Rui silently practiced the last sentence:

"The sixth form, Arrogant Dragon Has Regrets!"

In an instant, the saber that was already moving upward with unstoppable momentum actually stopped halfway, twisting with even more terrifying force, changing from a sweep to a slash.

"It is easy to throw a punch but hard to retract it; use seven parts of strength, and keep some in reserve."

Li Rui suddenly recalled what the instructor said when he went to the martial arts school to learn secretly in his youth.

At that time, he only felt it was mysterious.

Now it had all turned into martial arts mysteries.

"The top nine, Arrogant Dragon Has Regrets; the limit of strength should have a surplus; excess leads to overflow, and excessive rigidity leads to breaking; being able to retract and release freely is the true great freedom!"

That figure and Li Rui's figure overlapped at this moment.

A long saber appeared in Li Rui's hand.

No longer confined to one move or one style, he was round and free, retracting and releasing with measure.

Just like Li Rui's age.

He had passed the age of being hot-blooded, but he also had his own advantages, which was knowing how to retract strength.

Sometimes retracting is for the sake of killing better.

Being blindly fierce is not necessarily the best way to kill.

Li Rui pursued the result.

He practiced for a whole night; the Wandering Dragon Six Slashes, under the blessing of the strange state, reached perfection, and more importantly, perfectly matched Li Rui.

"Done!"

Li Rui could not hide the excitement on his face.

One Daojun Shenhun Elixir had saved him ten years of bitter study!

"Come out."

Following Li Rui's low shout, Qi Ze's figure appeared in front of him.

Just as he stood firm.

The brilliant saber light drowned him.

The next morning.

Li Rui pushed open the door feeling refreshed.

Well, one slash.

Qi Ze died very peacefully; at least that was the case in the dream, and reality should be about the same.

"The Daojun Shenhun Elixir is indeed powerful!"

Li Rui could feel that his perception of the outside world had become sharp.

This was a manifestation of improved comprehension.

"An elixir can actually improve comprehension; it is simply unheard of."

No wonder the Daojun Shenhun Elixir was called one of the three great secret elixirs of the Wu Kingdom.

Not only that.

He could feel that the Yinglong energy wandering in his meridians was much smoother; every time it completed a cycle, the quality of the Immortal mysterious energy in his body improved by more than double compared to before.

In other words, the time he took to complete the condensation of the Origin would be saved by half compared to before.

The improvement of the Daojun Shenhun Elixir to him was almost all-encompassing.

Strength surged!

"A fool turning into a genius; it truly does not deceive me."

Li Rui was overjoyed.

Xia Xiaotang being able to take out such a divine elixir was truly giving him a great fortune.

Subsequently.

Li Rui's expression became strange, and he touched his chin:

"If that little girl knew I wasn't the Beast God, would she be angered to tears?"

At the other end.

Ten thousand miles away, the imperial capital of the Wu Kingdom.

In a gloomy palace, oil lamps were placed all around, and deep in the palace was darkness that even candlelight could not illuminate.

"Well done."

"The Qi clan's treacherous heart does not die; they colluded with the Ghost Ming Sect to ruin the Wu Emperor's great cause. I am very happy that you were able to accomplish the matter."

An old, hoarse voice sounded from the darkness.

Dao Mo knelt on the ground, his head pressed tightly against the ground, like the most devout believer.

"May the Beast God bless us."

Listening to Dao Mo's words.

Xia Xiaotang, who was standing beside the Great Shaman, seemed to think of something and revealed a shallow dimple.

"It is the Beast God blessing us."

Thinking of the elixir she left behind, she couldn't help but feel that she was simply too smart.

Giving the Beast God an elixir—wouldn't the Beast God have to cover her in the future?

The first believer of the Beast God; this was more impressive than being the Great Shaman's closed-door disciple.

"I am a genius!"
