Chapter 363

Purple Chai Jingong, in front of the magnificent hall.

Si Feng and the Sheng Daoist stood side by side.

Before long.

The Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu brought two people to the two of them.

"Palace Master, Great Elder, the people you wanted have been found."

Si Feng looked at the combination of the man and woman before him and smiled slightly: "Very good."

After speaking.

The Sheng Daoist stepped forward.

He grabbed the man's shoulder with one hand; the man was shocked in his heart, but didn't dare to dodge at all, so he had to grit his teeth and persist, letting the Sheng Daoist grab his right shoulder.

Instantly.

A chill rose.

Making him unable to help but shiver.

"Middle Grade Upper, not bad."

The Sheng Daoist laughed with satisfaction, and then the same scene appeared on the girl.

Only then did he turn his head.

Nodded to Si Feng: "No problem."

Hearing the Sheng Daoist's words, the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Feng had always let him use spirit-testing stones to find Upper Grade spirit roots.

It was a pity.

People with Upper Grade spirit roots were hard to find in the world, so in the end, he could only find two people with top-tier Middle Grade spirit roots.

The corners of Si Feng's mouth raised slightly.

He naturally understood that the spiritual energy of this world was exhausted, and it was almost impossible to give birth to people with Upper Grade spirit roots; the ones before him could already be considered to have excellent aptitude.

If they were in the upper realm, they would at least be Upper Grade spirit roots, and maybe they would have the opportunity to become Top Grade spirit roots.

Of course.

He was just thinking about it.

"Fourth-Rank, Primordial, not bad; follow me to cultivate in the future."

Spirit roots had some benefits for martial arts, but there was no absolute relationship; it wasn't that if the spirit root was good, the martial arts would definitely be high; the two people before him were both Primordial martial artists, which was already beyond his expectations.

Clearly, the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu had put in enough effort for this.

Hearing Si Feng's words.

Not only the man and woman, but even the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu was secretly surprised.

What great fortune.

He didn't expect this man and woman to actually become the Palace Master's disciples.

The man and woman were originally from the Ghost Underworld Sect and the Qi clan, so they naturally knew the power of the Purple Chai Jingong's Palace Master, and their eyes were full of surprise.

Si Feng's next sentence, however, poured a basin of cold water on them:

"I need two little Daoist boys now."

Not disciples, just Daoist boys.

The man suppressed the disappointment in his heart and raised his spirits:

"Yes, Palace Master."

Daoist boy is a Daoist boy; maybe in the future, he could still become the Palace Master's disciple; there were still many opportunities.

Subsequently.

This man and woman followed Si Feng into the hall.

Si Feng first handed a small booklet to the man: "This is the Blazing Fire Art."

Then he handed another small booklet to the woman: "This is the Profound Water Art."

"Cultivate daily in the future,"

"Go."

Immortal Venerable bestowing the technique?

The man and woman were immediately overjoyed.

Since the technique was bestowed, what difference was there from being a disciple?

For a time, both of them kowtowed endlessly.

Si Feng had long been accustomed to this and just waved his hand.

After the man and woman left, the Sheng Daoist chuckled and looked at the backs of the two leaving excitedly, asking: "These two only have Middle Grade Upper spirit roots; if it were in the upper realm, it would barely pass, but this is the lower realm; at least an Upper Grade spirit root is needed to cultivate immortal techniques, and this incomplete version of your technique, although it can be practiced, is really not very interesting."

Si Feng's smile did not diminish:

"Who said I wanted them to succeed?"

Hiss.

In the room, a slight sound rang out.

A green vine wound out from the ground, slowly winding onto Li Rui's arms.

Gradually, it actually became a pair of gloves.

Green light flashed around Li Rui's body.

It was the Green Wood Qi.

And this vine was not naturally grown, but was forcibly urged out by Li Rui using Green Wood Qi.

With just one thought.

He could control its growth and death.

"Not bad."

The corners of Li Rui's mouth raised slightly.

Just as he had thought, water generates wood; with the help of the Profound Water Body, his speed in perceiving the wood spiritual energy of heaven and earth was more than double that of normal; in just one month, he could absorb the wood spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refine the Green Wood Qi.

The progress of the immortal technique was not bad.

Li Rui was in a great mood.

After finishing his cultivation, he pushed the door and walked out of the room.

This was a large mansion ten courtyards deep.

Let's put it this way: walking from the courtyard entrance to the end of the courtyard, it wouldn't be a problem to walk for half an hour.

Bold.

Not bad.

Although the imperial decree for the appointment had not yet arrived, it had already been filed in the Ministry of Personnel, so he moved out of the previous Military Advisor's Prefecture of the Anning Guard and came to the Assistant Regional Commander's mansion dedicated to the Annan Garrison.

This mansion was supervised by him personally, so the quality was, of course, beyond question.

And most of those living here were the upper echelons of the Annan Garrison.

Besides Regional Commander Xue Gui, several Assistant Regional Commanders of the Annan Garrison, and those miscellaneous generals, the advisors and guests of Xue Gui and Zhou Zhou Dinghai also lived here.

It could be called the most powerful and noble place in Qinghe.

Don't look at the fact that the gatekeeper was a Sixth-Rank Garrison Commander.

It was truly noble.

Having become a Fourth-Rank Assistant Regional Commander, he couldn't do without servants for such a large courtyard. Li Rui bought seven or eight clever men and women with clean family backgrounds to tidy up such a large mansion.

Otherwise, relying on Liu Liu Tiezhu alone would be too difficult for him.

If Liu Liu Tiezhu wasted his cultivation for these trivial matters, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

As an Assistant Regional Commander, meeting guests was a frequent occurrence; if he called his colleagues to his home and it was a mess, he would lose face.

Face was a big deal for officials.

Before, he was the biggest official in Qinghe and could be casual, but now Qinghe was not short of officials.

So he had to be careful.

Liu Liu Tiezhu was a hundred percent in favor of this matter and finally got rid of the pain of cooking.

Yang Yong was also very much in favor.

After all, he could be considered to have truly lived the life of a master he had imagined before.

The only one who was not satisfied was perhaps Old Man Tie.

!

"Master."

"Master."

Young faces greeted Li Rui with awe one after another.

Li Rui sometimes nodded slightly, sometimes ignored them.

As a master, one cannot be too approachable, especially since the whole courtyard was full of newcomers; Li Rui was once a servant himself and understood the minds of these servants too well.

Although he didn't have the heart of the Fourth Master of the Zhu family to deduct from his subordinates, if he was too easy to talk to, the servants would bully the master.

Due to his official position, it was impossible to do anything excessive.

But the little actions in private would only become more and more rampant; when he wanted to manage them again, he would have to beat a few people to death.

Li Rui was a person who had been through it, so he thought about helping them.

As for equality between master and servant.

He never considered it; only someone with a brain cramp would do this in the Yu Kingdom.

Li Rui walked out of the Li Mansion gate.

A brand-new and magnificent carriage was already parked at the entrance, and a young groom respectfully said to Li Rui: "Master, are you going out?"

Li Rui nodded: "Go to the Anning Guard."

"Alright."

The young groom hurriedly took the horse stool.

Although this thing was really redundant for a martial officer like Li Rui, the necessary airs could not be less.

Li Rui stepped on the horse stool and easily got into the carriage.

Then he heard a clear "crack" from the whip in the groom's hand.

The carriage drove slowly.

This carriage was specially made, and the horse was also specially selected by the Imperial Horse Bureau; it was steady, and one couldn't feel any shaking at all.

Li Rui sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon.

He saw the familiar Anning Guard camp.

Li Rui came to the Anning Guard again, and he was now a superior.

As an Assistant Regional Commander, he was originally an assistant to the Regional Commander in managing the guard battalion; the Annan Garrison had a total of twenty-four guard battalions; besides the four guards personally led by Regional Commander Xue Gui, the other Assistant Regional Commanders each managed two or three guard battalions.

The Anning Guard was under Li Rui's jurisdiction.

Besides that, the other place he had was not in Anning Prefecture, and not even in Yunzhou.

Precisely because of this.

In fact, the Assistant Regional Commander only went to inspect the guard battalion once a year as a matter of routine, and basically would not point fingers at the affairs of the guard battalion at other times.

Except for the Anning Guard, which was in the Annan Garrison's station.

Who told it to be too close.

In fact, among the twenty-four guards, eight were in the Annan Garrison's station.

This time, they all moved to Qinghe together.

Excluding the one left behind in Yunzhou, plus the original Anning Guard, there were eight.

That is, the personal guard battalion in the soldiers' mouths; the Anning Guard was Li Rui's personal guard battalion.

Walking on the avenue of the Anning Guard.

Li Rui was suddenly awakened by bursts of shouting.

Lifting the side curtain.

He saw several circles of people around the drill ground, one by one with flushed faces, shouting loudly.

"Hit!"

"Kick his lower plate!"

"Shameless, actually using a crotch-grabbing hand!"

Li Rui listened, and for a time became interested, saying to the young groom outside the carriage: "Stop, you wait outside the guard battalion."

"Yes, Master."

The young groom respectfully took out the horse stool again.

Li Rui stepped on it skillfully and walked to the periphery of the crowd.

"Hit, why don't you hit!"

The voice of a young soldier suddenly stopped abruptly, stuttering: "Li... Lord Li."

I don't know when.

Li Rui appeared beside him, also standing on tiptoe, watching with great interest.

The young soldier widened his eyes.

Li Rui, Assistant Regional Commander Li, who in the Anning Guard didn't know him?

He actually appeared here, and was standing beside him.

Li Rui looked at the young soldier with a smile: "What exactly is going on in here?"

The young soldier hurriedly replied:

"It's the people from the neighboring Guniu Guard, coming to challenge us again; today it's Lord Lu who is taking action."

Li Rui suddenly understood.

The Assistant Regional Commander of the Guniu Guard had already been replaced by a general of Zhou Zhou Dinghai's line.

It was common for guard battalions of different factions to look down on each other.

Large-scale conflict was, of course, impossible.

After all, Li Rui had drunk with Fu Tao yesterday, but sparring and fighting like the one before him were definitely indispensable.

Just as they were talking.

Hearing a "wa ya" sound.

Dust flew up.

Lu Jun was defeated.
