Chapter 304

In the secret room.

Li Rui sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his expression still. At the position of his lower abdomen dantian, golden light faintly flickered, purple smoke drifted, and immortal energy was misty.

Pop~

A sound of a water bubble breaking seemed to be heard in his ears.

Spiritual root improved!

Li Rui slowly opened his eyes.

Full of joy.

This is a mysterious feeling, as if he has become closer to heaven and earth; although it is ethereal, he can feel it truly, and it is also of great benefit to practicing.

At the moment the spiritual root improved.

The Qi sea in his body also expanded by more than thirty percent.

Looking inside his dantian.

Now the distance to the Sea-Observing Rising Moon realm is not far.

Roughly estimated, at most it will take two or three years, and Li Rui will be able to rise the moon, and then Innate can be expected!

'The distance to breaking through Sea-Observing is less than three to five years, and Innate is already in sight.'

Even Li Rui himself felt it was a bit too fast.

Perhaps this is the daily life of a genius.

Looking at Yunzhou.

It truly confirms that sentence of Jiangjiang Linxian: In Yunzhou martial arts, there are only me and Li Rui.

With the current speed of progress, only Jiangjiang Linxian can compare with Li Rui; others are all a level behind.

Li Rui's heart was burning.

Originally, he improved his spiritual root just for an ethereal thought; after all, the system said there were immortals, so maybe he could step onto the immortal path in the future, so of course, he had to prepare in advance.

But he didn't expect that improving his spiritual root would be beneficial to Immortal Su Xuan Qi.

Suddenly, he was full of spirit.

It's just a pity that this method of improving spiritual roots with the Spirit-Testing Stone was a coincidence; the difficulty is not finding the Spirit-Testing Stone, but the immortal energy.

It counts as a coincidence.

If Li Rui didn't have Immortal Su Xuan Qi, this item would have become the most difficult.

But the remaining eight items recorded in the Ten Thousand Spirits Book are not so simple.

Let's just say one.

The fourth method.

Bathe with Ten Thousand Ancient Spring-Meeting Qi, and circulate the Qi-traveling mantra in the Ten Thousand Spirits Book for a quarter of an hour.

Not to mention the Qi-traveling mantra is obscure and difficult to understand; even Li Rui's comprehension couldn't grasp it for a while.

What kind of existence is Ten Thousand Ancient Spring-Meeting Qi?

Just one wisp can become a treasure at the bottom of a sect's box. A few years ago, the Magistrate of Haizhou obtained a wisp and offered it to the Emperor, and the Emperor was overjoyed.

Bathing in Ten Thousand Ancient Spring-Meeting Qi is simply a fantasy.

And this is already the simplest among them.

The other few are even more exaggerated.

Li Rui waited for the Qi sea in his dantian to stabilize before walking out of the secret room.

Looking at the morning light outside the window.

Unknowingly, it was another night.

Fortunately, Li Rui is now a Sea-Observing martial artist, and not sleeping for a night has almost no effect.

"Master, you're awake."

As soon as he went out.

He saw Wang Zhao grinning and laughing to himself.

Very festive.

Li Rui, of course, wouldn't tell his disciple that he actually hadn't slept at all and had pulled an all-nighter.

Although it didn't count as pulling an all-nighter, the feeling of spiritual root improvement was actually quite comfortable.

"Mm?"

"Xiao Zhao, you've made progress again."

Living with Wang Zhao day and night, he could see at a glance that his disciple had actually reached the Gold Bone realm, and the distance to Willow Sinew was not far.

This speed is really not bad.

Although it is still a bit worse than him, the master, compared to those geniuses outside, it is already not bad.

And, Wang Zhao is already the one with the lowest realm among his three disciples.

Liang He and Liu Liu Tiezhu were already Seventh-Rank martial artists long ago.

Of course, Wang Zhao walks a different path and cannot be calculated solely by realm.

"Master is mighty, you can see it at a glance."

Li Rui was amused: "The atmosphere in this house is problematic, how did everyone become sycophants, even you, Xiao Zhao, have been infected."

At this time.

Yang Yong also walked over: "It's not that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Look at Xiao Zhao, Xiao He, Liu Tiezhu, what good children, they were all quite simple at the beginning, now everyone is oily and slippery."

Li Rui was dumbfounded.

Irrefutable, it seems it really is.

He coughed lightly: "Xiao Zhao, I have entrusted someone to send the test method for Monster Controllers from the Witch Kingdom, and you will know when the time comes."

Wang Zhao's eyes lit up:

"Monster Controller."

Although he is still a groom, his vision has long surpassed that of the past.

Of course, he knows the power of Monster Controllers.

Monster Controllers have high status in the Witch Kingdom, and their strength is also formidable. Not to mention the distant ones, just say a few years ago, a Monster Controller manipulated monsters to trigger a monster tide and razed a city to the ground.

Isn't that fierce?

Although he didn't have the thought of slaughtering a city, which youth didn't have the thought of being a hero?

Li Rui saw that his chicken blood was very successful.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

Actually, there was no need to test; he knew that Wang Zhao would definitely be able to be a Monster Controller.

Without anything else.

Because his master has an immortal form and also opened the West Heaven Gate.

It's just that confident.

The reason he only said it now is because the cultivation method for Monster Controllers is too precious; it wasn't until a few days ago that Dao Mo found him some scattered Monster Controller heritage.

Li Rui is not someone who likes to draw cakes.

When he said it, it was actually already eight or nine out of ten.

If he guessed correctly, the method for Monster Controllers was already being sent to Qinghe with the Heaven and Earth Alliance's merchant caravan.

"Call Liu Tiezhu, it's time to eat."

When the four were eating—

Liang He rushed in with an anxious face.

"Master, something happened."

Li Rui's wooden spoon paused, and he frowned: "What happened?"

"Just received news, the merchant caravan was attacked by a monster tide, Alliance Leader Ning and Alliance Leader Huang were both scattered by monsters, and there is still no news."

Li Rui put down his bowl and stood up:

"Understood."

During this period, the merchant caravan was frequently attacked by monsters, so at Yan Yan Zhongxing's request, he let Ning Ning Zhongtian take a hundred soldiers from the camp to patrol the official road.

Now they actually both had an accident.

Seeing that Liang He also wanted to follow, he waved his hand: "You stay in the city."

Then, while walking, he said to Tan Hu, who was yawning at the door: "Let's go, Tiger, out of the city."

Hearing Li Rui's words.

Tan Hu instantly gained spirit, greeted a few people from the Tiger Cavalry, mounted their warhorses, and galloped out of the city with Li Rui.

In the mountains and forests. *Swish swish*

The sound of clothes rubbing against leaves rang out, and two figures shuttled through the thorny jungle at high speed.

"Fourth Brother, you run first, I'll cover the rear!"

"Fart, if we go, we go together!"

Ning Ning Zhongtian saw Huang Chui slow down and cursed loudly.

Huang Chui's face was a bit pale, and there was a huge blood hole in his waist and abdomen; he was clearly at the end of his rope.

He was about to speak.

Suddenly his face changed.

I saw that directly in front of them, a burly man blocked their way:

"Stop here..."

At the same time.

Two figures behind also stopped, looking at the two with malicious intent.

No errors, no omissions, read it all in one go!

Ning Ning Zhongtian's face turned ugly to the extreme, and he looked at the two behind him with his peripheral vision.

Originally, he took a hundred soldiers of the Anning Guard to escort the Heaven and Earth Alliance's merchant caravan; he never expected to encounter a monster tide. If it were just a monster tide, he wouldn't be afraid, but he discovered that there were actually two Sea-Observing realm powerhouses lurking in the dark.

So he didn't even think about it and took his second brother Huang Chui to flee into the mountains and forests.

But one Sixth-Rank and one Seventh-Rank, how could they be the opponents of two Fifth-Rank powerhouses?

During the escape, Huang Chui was hit by a hidden weapon.

Now they were even surrounded.

Through the attitude of the two behind, it was not hard to see that the middle-aged man standing in front of them was the strongest of the three.

Possibly even Innate!

Ning Ning Zhongtian's heart fell into an ice cellar.

Two Sea-Observing, one Innate, actually designed to deal with a Sixth-Rank, what virtue or ability did he have.

But he quickly calmed down.

Being able to climb from a mud-legged person to a Garrison Commander of the Anning Guard, naturally, he couldn't be an ordinary person.

'Those two are Sea-Observing martial artists; if they wanted to kill me and Second Brother, they could have killed us with hidden weapons long ago, but they deliberately didn't want to take action, it should be that they want to capture us alive.'

'Since they want to capture us alive, they must have some scheme, or rather, it is to threaten someone with our lives.'

'Big Brother!'

His pupils shrank suddenly.

Instantly understood the crux of the matter.

Although he didn't understand what kind of grudge Li Rui had with the three people before him, if Li Rui came, he would definitely die without a doubt.

No matter how well he can fight, can he fight three martial artists of the same rank?

The scarred man behind him grinned and said: "Don't worry, we won't kill you now. When your Big Brother comes, we'll send you three brothers to reunite, so you won't be lonely on the Yellow Springs road."

Ning Ning Zhongtian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sure enough!

He spoke slowly: "I think you got one thing wrong. My Big Brother has always been cold-blooded; your trick should be useless. We are all men of the Jianghu, kill if you want, why so much dawdling."

"Yo-ho."

Ma Lie, the scarred man, grinned, rolled up his sleeves, picked up his blade, and was about to take action.

But heard Ke Qi speak slowly:

"You are indeed a man, thinking of angering my brother and then seeking death, so that your Big Brother won't have to die."

"Righteous."

"I appreciate you very much, follow me, and I can also guarantee you a Fifth-Rank official position."

Ning Ning Zhongtian's intentions were exposed, but his face didn't change much: "Three Wolves of the Wind and Sand?"

Hearing the names of the three, Ke Qi found it even more interesting: "You recognize us three?"

"Northwest accent of the Yu Kingdom, Witch Kingdom clothing, and all are Sea-Observing realm; there shouldn't be many such people."

Ke Qi was happy:

"You are indeed smart."

Of course.

He was interested in Ning Ning Zhongtian, but if Ning Ning Zhongtian really defected to him, he would kill Ning Ning Zhongtian without hesitation.

What he hated most in his life was treacherous people.

So no matter what Ning Ning Zhongtian said today, he would eventually die.

Anyway, he had to wait for Li Rui, and since he was idle, chatting a few more words with such an interesting Jianghu person didn't matter.

But just as Ke Qi was about to continue speaking.

A figure walked slowly out of the darkness.

Seeing that person appear, Ning Ning Zhongtian's face changed: "Big Brother, run!"

I saw the person who came.

It was Li Rui.

Li Rui first looked at Ning Ning Zhongtian and Huang Chui, and then turned to look at Ke Qi; as for the other two, he didn't even look at them.

"Ke Qi, you have great courage, do you really think you can still be at large under the imperial court's bounty because you have ability?"

Ke Qi raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Lord Li, you don't need to scare us. If the imperial court really had that ability, we would have died long ago."

Li Rui smiled and shook his head:

"You know a fart."

Being scolded like this, Ma Lie was instantly furious.

But heard Li Rui continue: "You can still live now, you should thank Marquis Yuan; it was the Marquis who spoke for you, otherwise, the grass on your graves would be three zhang high by now."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three Ke Qi changed.

The third brother cursed loudly: "You talk nonsense, it's clearly a lie!"

Li Rui smiled faintly at Ke Qi: "Now you have two options, either leave, and I will treat it as if nothing happened. Or wait to be hunted by the Marquis, and in a few days, your corpses will be hung on the city wall."

Ke Qi narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Li Rui.

A struggle flashed in his eyes.

Then he heard He Yang's voice: "Big Brother, what are you still hesitating for? It's come to this, let's kill these three, then go to Giant Stone City to receive the reward and live a good life. Haven't we lived enough of this stray dog life?"

Ke Qi's eyes became sharp in an instant.

Right!

It's come to this, they have no way back.

No matter what happened before, in short, the three of them are lonely ghosts; he never wants to live this kind of life again. If he wants to live a comfortable life, he must take this person's head in exchange.

"Go to hell!"

Ke Qi suddenly exploded, slapped Li Rui with one palm, and the Innate power was fully displayed.

For a time, a violent wind blew, blowing the surrounding leaves to rustle.

Li Rui reacted extremely quickly, swinging his blade and scabbard at Ke Qi.

The blade and palm collided in the air.

Ke Qi's palm momentum was interrupted, while Li Rui retreated several steps in a row, his chest feeling stuffy.

Li Rui grinned:

"I said how you three dared to take action, so you entered Innate, very good."

Ke Qi walked toward Li Rui with an expressionless face:

"Since you know, then just stretch your neck and wait for death, I can let you die quickly."

Li Rui smiled dashingly: "Do you know the difference between an army and Jianghu ruffians?"

Ke Qi had no interest in listening; he had already drawn the long blade from his waist and was about to chop.

Li Rui's blade was already overhead, but he still had a smile on his face, continuing: "It's having many people and great momentum."

Many people and great momentum?

Ke Qi frowned slightly.

At the moment Li Rui's words fell, firelight rose all around, illuminating the entire mountain top red.

A voice as majestic as a tiger's roar rang out:

"I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs."
