【Dao Seed: One of the fragments of the Great Dao; those who possess the Dao Seed can better sense the Great Dao of heaven and earth.】

Li Rui looked at the rewards on the panel and widened his eyes.

Dao Seed!

This is something that only the holy sons and holy daughters of those immortal sects in ancient times could possess.

Great creation!

His heart was thumping wildly.

The system actually gave him something he had only seen in ancient legends.

He hurriedly closed his eyes to feel it carefully, and was immediately overjoyed.

Possessing the Dao Seed, naturally close to the Great Dao, Li Rui faintly had a feeling that the Dao Seed might help him increase the probability of achieving the Dao Embryo realm.

According to what He Qiannian said.

The so-called Dao Embryo realm is to let the primordial spirit return to the Great Dao while the physical body returns to the Primordial state.

But there are no more immortals in the world, and approaching the Great Dao is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He Qiannian's assumption is to take a side path, peeking at the Great Dao through the path of physical external martial arts, seeking a glimmer of possibility for a Dao Embryo.

But now Li Rui also has the Dao Seed, plus the assistance of external martial arts, the possibility of achieving the Dao Embryo is much higher than that of ordinary martial artists.

Li Rui quickly calmed his mood.

Turning his head.

He saw He Qiannian had already walked out of the room and arrived on the deck.

"Senior."

Li Rui saluted He Qiannian.

He Qiannian nodded casually: "You kid actually have some skills, not bad. In the future, if you have nothing to do, you can come to the Thousand Cranes Martial Hall to visit more often. Take this token, and no one will stop you in the future."

Li Rui did not know if He Qiannian valued him so much because of his performance in suppressing the Blood Spirit Demons on the deck, or because he killed a Primordial martial artist.

But it didn't matter.

As long as he pretended not to know, he wouldn't be embarrassed.

He decisively took the token from He Qiannian's hand: "Thank you, Senior."

Chatting with He Qiannian that day was a huge gain.

He Qiannian is not only an Earth Immortal powerhouse but also a master of external martial arts; he thought that when he enters the Primordial realm and impacts the Dao Embryo realm in the future, he would inevitably have to ask He Qiannian for more advice.

Of course, he would not pretend to decline this token.

Just accept it straightforwardly.

He Qiannian is also not someone who likes to be polite.

At this time, Li Rui's peripheral vision caught a young man wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a shoulder pole walking out of the Third Princess Xia Yun's room.

It was precisely Chen Ming, who carried the sun and moon on one shoulder.

Chen Ming just leaned against the door with his arms crossed, without the slightest intention of getting off the ship.

He had completely become Xia Yun's gatekeeper guard.

Having an Earth Immortal powerhouse guard the door for oneself, what a grand display!

Li Rui's eyebrows lifted.

It was decided when the two countries opened trade, but there had been no movement for a long time.

Of course.

The more outstanding Xia Yun was, the more determined his heart to stay away became.

The crisis was lifted, and the large ship continued to set sail.

Before long.

Xia Xiaotang walked out of Xia Yun's room and came to Li Rui's side: "Senior."

"Miss Xiaotang, are you alright just now?"

Xia Xiaotang giggled: "Third sister is famous for being resourceful in our Wu Kingdom; this small scene cannot stump her."

Li Rui deeply agreed with this.

If those big figures in the capital really regarded the Third Princess Xia Yun as a noble lady who only knew needlework, they would probably suffer a huge loss.

Tonight, he had witnessed the methods of this Third Princess of the Wu Kingdom.

Xia Xiaotang asked curiously: "Senior, why did you refuse Third sister? Her promises have never been broken."

Li Rui shook his head with a smile:

"I really don't have any great ambitions."

"Alright."

Xia Xiaotang said "Oh."

Li Rui also did not explain much.

This matter could not be explained to Xia Xiaotang; he could form an alliance with the Third Princess Xia Yun who was in the Wu Kingdom, but if Xia Yun came to the Yu Kingdom, that would not work, not to mention Xia Yun's purpose in coming to the Yu Kingdom.

Some things, stance is very important.

Half an hour later.

They sailed into the wharf of Huainan Prefecture.

A group of officials from Huainan Prefecture were already waiting here; besides them, there was also the Regional Commander of Annan Town, Xue Gui, who was also surprisingly at the wharf of Huainan Prefecture.

The Third Princess did not get off the ship.

Stopping at Huainan Prefecture was just to replenish supplies on the ship and replace personnel on the ship.

They would continue to set off after staying for only half an hour.

As for why the Regional Commander of Annan Town, Xue Gui, appeared here, it was of course because he received an urgent report from the communication office.

It was just that he had only just arrived, and the matter had already been settled.

He simply waited at Huainan Prefecture.

"Regional Commander Xue."

Li Rui and Nie Siming saluted together when they saw Xue Gui appear.

Xue Gui glanced at them and nodded: "You did well."

Then he took Nie Siming and walked toward the Third Princess's room. Li Rui, on the other hand, took his people and continued to stay on the deck.

Anyway, there was plenty of time.

He gave Ning Zhongtian a few instructions and then mixed into the crowd to get off the ship. Huainan Prefecture did not have much interaction with Anning Prefecture, and it was not within the jurisdiction of Anning Prefecture. Those big officials of Huainan Prefecture all ran onto the ship one after another, heading straight for the Third Princess Xia Yun.

Not a single person paid attention to this little old man, Li Rui.

Before long, he left the wharf.

Arrived in a remote small alley.

Only then did Li Rui take out the jade bottle he had just searched from the man with the hooked nose from his bosom.

It was precisely for this item.

That he had firmed up his determination to kill the man with the hooked nose.

Otherwise, with his personality, he would definitely have upheld the habit of not chasing a desperate enemy, letting the man with the hooked nose leave, rather than chasing and killing him alone for several miles.

Of course.

Read it without a single error, from beginning to end!

The reason Li Rui did this was that he had a ninety percent certainty, plus ten percent confidence that he could retreat unscathed.

As long as that man with the hooked nose was slightly less injured and did not know the Evil God Method.

He would not have chosen to take action.

Li Rui reached out and pulled out the small wooden stopper on the jade bottle.

Suddenly.

A strange fragrance hit his nose, and a reddish-gold elixir lay quietly at the bottom of the bottle.

This item is called the Wonderful Spirit Elixir.

The name is not important; the key is that this elixir is one of the nine methods recorded in the Spirit-Raising Method that can improve spiritual roots.

Because the required spiritual herbs are extremely rare and difficult to find, plus the requirements for alchemy are extremely high.

Li Rui was still looking for an alchemist who could refine this elixir.

He didn't expect it to appear in front of him so naturally, so of course he couldn't miss it.

Anyway, these were all evil people from the Ghost Ming Sect causing chaos; it was perfectly normal for him to go and chase these evil people, and no one would suspect anything, so he took action.

Li Rui did not hesitate to pour out the Wonderful Spirit Elixir and swallowed it into his belly with his head tilted back.

A trace of coolness spread from his dantian.

Spiritual roots improved again!

According to the records in the Spirit-Raising Book.

Obtaining three methods can enter the middle grade.

He was originally a middle-grade spiritual root, so now he had obtained three means to improve spiritual roots; although he had not upgraded to a high-grade spiritual root, he had also obtained a good improvement.

At this moment, his spiritual roots could be considered top-tier among the middle grade.

Li Rui finished eating the Wonderful Spirit Elixir and then crushed the jade bottle.

Lost in thought.

"This Wonderful Spirit Elixir is an ancient legacy prescription; let alone it's hard to refine, it doesn't have much benefit for martial artists."

"Why would the Ghost Ming Sect rack their brains to refine this elixir?"

"Could it be that someone also wants to improve their spiritual roots."

"It's truly strange."

Li Rui was lost in thought, but the clues were insufficient, and thinking more was useless; otherwise, it would be worrying about nothing.

There are too many strange things in the world; it is impossible to figure out the truth just by daydreaming, and there is no need to think too much about things that waste brainpower in vain.

Finished eating the Wonderful Spirit Elixir.

Li Rui mixed into the crowd and returned to the large ship.

Not long after he walked onto the deck.

Nie Siming found him.

Li Rui then followed him into the Third Princess's room.

Nie Siming and He Qiannian were both inside.

Li Rui's eyebrows lifted.

A room with three land immortals, it was truly a grand atmosphere.

After a cup of tea.

Li Rui walked out of the Third Princess Xia Yun's room.

Ning Zhongtian, Tan Hu, and the others surrounded him:

"Big brother, what happened?"

Besides the three Earth Immortal figures, only Nie Siming and Li Rui could enter the Third Princess's room.

Rounding it up, it's approximately equivalent to our big brother also being a land immortal!

Don't look, even the Prefect of Huainan Prefecture could only stand outside, eagerly stretching his neck to look inside.

This is the gap.

Li Rui smiled lightly:

"Nothing much."

"Brothers, prepare yourselves; we are going to enter the capital."

"Enter the capital?!"

Hearing these two words.

Ning Zhongtian, Wei Ming, and the others all widened their eyes.

The capital, that is the best place in the world; they had heard of it a thousand times, ten thousand times, but they had never had the chance to see it in their lives.

I heard that the Jiaofang Division there is the best in the world.

Even former noble ladies of princes and marquises can talk about love and play with you; just thinking about it is indescribably wonderful.

Li Rui: "The order from Regional Commander Xue is to prevent the Ghost Ming Sect from committing evil deeds again, telling us to escort the Third Princess straight into the capital, and then return."

"The matter happened in our Annan Town, so of course we must manage it to the end; otherwise, wouldn't we be looked down upon by other towns."

"Brothers, just go to the capital to broaden your horizons."

Although he refused Xia Yun, it did not mean he was not interested in the capital.

On the contrary.

Very interested.

In the capital, there are not only many officials, but most of the headquarters of the world's chambers of commerce are in the capital.

There are so many rare treasures that you can't even imagine.

He wants to collect the materials to upgrade to high-grade spiritual roots; in Yunzhou, or even the Southern Region, the hope is slim, and it is only possible in the capital.

It's just that due to his identity as a military advisor of the Anning Guard, he couldn't enter the capital.

There was even less possibility for the Tiandi Alliance to insert their hands into the capital.

This official business trip is just the right time to see if he can collect the materials for upgrading spiritual roots.

Anyway, this time it is to escort the two countries for marriage.

The display will not be low.

Doing things will be much more convenient than entering the capital alone.

Ning Zhongtian and the others had long had their eyes shining:

"Enter the capital."

"Enter the capital!"
