Chapter 430: Young and Promising

"Profound Micro Sect?"

In the main hall,

the Prince of Wei, Zhu Gan, narrowed his eyes, his face gloomy.

"Yes, it is rumored that the Profound Micro Sect has obtained a top-grade spirit stone."

Li Rui said.

He did not give his own judgment, but only stated the intelligence he had heard.

Zhu Gan was arrogant; if he added too much drama, it would only lead to dissatisfaction.

He naturally would not do such a superfluous thing.

"Good, I know."

Sure enough, the Prince of Wei, Zhu Gan, just waved his hand after hearing the news, and even added: "You did well."

"Your Highness, then I will take my leave."

After speaking,

Li Rui turned and left.

Walking out of Zhu Gan's residence, he saw Yuan Xiong already standing at the door.

"Old Brother Li, you said the Profound Micro Sect has a top-grade spirit stone?"

He had heard the news and came looking for him.

Li Rui: "It's all rumors, currently it cannot be confirmed."

He naturally knew that the top-grade spirit stone was in the hands of the Profound Micro Sect, but the reason he told Zhu Gan today was because this matter had somehow spread among the demonic cultivators.

So he took a step ahead to inform Zhu Gan.

In this way, there was no risk, and he could fulfill his duty.

As for what Zhu Gan would do afterward, that was not something he should worry about.

Yuan Xiong: "Those bull-nosed Daoists of the Profound Micro Sect hide deep; they actually didn't even let us know about the top-grade spirit stone."

Li Rui nodded.

He felt the same way about this.

If it weren't for the fact that there were experts among the demonic cultivators, they would have almost been deceived by the Profound Micro Sect.

Yuan Xiong: "Old Brother Li, what should we do next?"

Although the spirit mine was decided by the Fifth Prince, specifically, neither he nor Li Rui belonged to the Fifth Prince's faction.

Yuan Xiong was more concerned about his own interests, or rather, the interests of the Annan Marquis Prefecture.

Li Rui pondered:

"Let's wait and see for now."

Upon hearing this,

Yuan Xiong nodded: "Let's do as Old Brother says."

The Ten Thousand Mountains spirit mine, located in the eastern mining area of the Profound Micro Sect.

In a large hall,

Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu sat at the highest point, expressionless.

Below, several elders were furious.

"Damn it, who is the one spreading the rumor, daring to slander my Profound Micro Sect for taking a top-grade spirit stone!"

"Must find that person and refine them into a human puppet!"

One by one, they were filled with righteous indignation.

These days,

because of this matter, quite a few disciples escorting spirit stones had died, all killed by those demonic cultivators coveting the top-grade spirit stone.

If it were on weekdays,

those demonic cultivators would fear the Profound Micro Sect's strength and naturally would not dare to make a move.

But under the temptation of a top-grade spirit stone, it was different.

Those demonic cultivators were wolves; once they saw meat, they would rush up and bite a few times regardless of their lives.

Just as a group of elders were arguing,

Daoist Master Su Xuan Cheng, who was sitting in a corner, closed his eyes and meditated, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

Wronged?

Not at all.

Only a very few people in the Profound Micro Sect knew about the existence of the top-grade spirit stone.

In this hall, there were only him and Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu.

If he weren't proficient in array formations, even he might not have known.

Not bad.

The Profound Micro Sect originated from the Divine Profound Sect of the cultivation world, so naturally, they had methods to find spirit mines.

Not only that,

the Profound Micro Sect had long determined that the spirit mine in the east had a top-grade spirit stone, which was why they were willing to give up most of the spirit mine, but insisted on the eastern spirit mine.

It was all for the top-grade spirit stone.

However, the mining of the top-grade spirit stone was very complicated.

One could not damage the external spirit stones.

Otherwise, the loss would be extremely heavy.

Originally, Master Su Xuan Cheng had already set up a great array to shield it from outside prying, just waiting for the time to come to obtain the top-grade spirit stone, but he didn't expect the news to leak.

Putting the Profound Micro Sect in an awkward position.

After some arguing,

Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu finally opened his eyes slowly and spoke: "The clear are clear; fellow junior brothers, there is no need to discuss this matter further. Those demonic cultivators are rampant, and we still need to assist Elder Master Su Xuan Cheng in reinforcing the great array to prevent accidents."

"What Senior Brother Daoist Su Xuan Yu says is right."

Everyone agreed.

"Alright, fellow junior brothers, all go."

When everyone stood up and prepared to leave, Daoist Su Xuan Yu called out: "Elder Master Su Xuan Cheng, you stay for a while."

Master Su Xuan Cheng stopped and looked at Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu."

Master Su Xuan Cheng smiled slightly.

Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu said: "Elder Master Su Xuan Cheng, the situation has changed, so change the array a bit; we need to speed up."

The top-grade spirit stone put no small pressure on Daoist Su Xuan Yu.

Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu wanted to mine the top-grade spirit stone as soon as possible to avoid long delays.

Elder Master Su Xuan Cheng pondered:

"There is a method, but the loss will be relatively large."

Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu's gaze was firm: "Then I will trouble Elder Master Su Xuan Cheng."

"It is my duty."

Watching Master Su Xuan Cheng leave, Daoist Su Xuan Yu's gaze became even gloomier.

"You mean Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu heard about that matter, just let them reinforce the spirit mine, and there was no other action."

Yuan Xiong said.

Li Rui: "Let's wait and see for now."

Yuan Xiong nodded.

The Profound Micro Sect was a large immortal sect with an upper-realm background and could not be easily provoked.

"That Fifth Prince of ours seems very hot-headed; I heard he has already sent people to investigate."

Li Rui chuckled: "Human nature."

Officials need to perform merits.

Princes are the same.

Although the Yu Kingdom does not have the clan rules of having to establish the eldest son, the assessment of princes is extremely strict.

It even started from the Taizu Emperor and added many rules.

And it was added by later emperors.

Now it is extremely perfect.

These assessments will also serve as an important basis for establishing the Crown Prince.

If Zhu Gan can send the first top-grade spirit stone in the world to the imperial palace, not only will the Lord of the Dragon Court be overjoyed, but he can also add a heavy stroke to the records of the civil officials.

How could he not be tempted?

Yuan Xiong: "I often hear that this Fifth Prince is fond of great achievements; I only hope he doesn't cause any trouble."

Coming from the military,

he disliked Zhu Gan's temperament the most.

A prince who is fond of great achievements, in other words, is cold-blooded and does not treat the lives of his soldiers as lives.

If such a person is smart, he can be called capable.

His future will also be very good.

But it is piled up with the corpses of countless people.

If this were placed on an official, it would be a cruel official.

Li Rui did not intend to discuss a prince, so he said: "Old Brother Yuan, I need some materials, please help me check."

After speaking,

he handed a note to Yuan Xiong.

Yuan Xiong took it and looked; they were all materials for drawing talismans.

And the rank was not low.

Li Rui: "I heard there is a great talisman master in the Marquis Prefecture, can Old Brother Yuan help me ask?"

"Mr. Zhang? Okay, I'll ask."

Yuan Xiong agreed without thinking.

Subsequently, the two chatted for a while.

Li Rui then returned to the residence.

He threw out two more talismans to reinforce the Small Five Elements Array.

Talismans and arrays are not separated.

Li Rui combined the two, and the effect was extremely good.

It was precisely this hand that allowed him to barely resist the erosion of the Evil Puppet Array.

After doing all this,

he returned to the room.

He cultivated the Eternal Evergreen Art as usual, and then crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Waking up again,

he had already arrived before the white jade steps.

At this time, he was already familiar with the road, no longer as embarrassed as before, and easily stepped onto the steps, arriving at the Questioning Heart Pass.

After a battle with the fairy,

he appeared in the Evil Ghost Path again.

Countless evil ghosts rushed toward Li Rui, and the Thousand Soul Banner in his hand expanded with the wind, refining large swaths of evil ghosts.

Originally, Li Rui could have passed the Evil Ghost Path long ago.

But to ensure he could successfully get the reward and incidentally strengthen the Thousand Soul Banner, he had never left.

Countless evil ghosts almost completely wrapped around Li Rui.

The Thousand Soul Banner showed its full power.

With a casual sweep, dozens of evil ghosts were wiped out.

If seen by cultivators from the outside world, they would definitely feel that Li Rui at this moment was even more like a demonic cultivator than the legendary demonic cultivators.

Looking at Li Rui killing in all directions with the Thousand Soul Banner,

it was no less than the old demons of the cultivation world.

The evil ghosts seemed endless.

Li Rui didn't know how many evil ghosts he had killed, but the evil ghosts still surged out from the mountains and plains like a tide.

But just when Li Rui was killing with great pleasure,

all the evil ghosts turned into dust and dissipated without a trace.

Subsequently,

the scene around him changed instantly.

The barren ground disappeared, replaced by white jade ground and countless jade buildings and towers.

He had returned to the Taixu Daoist Field.

At the same time,

a point of spiritual light appeared between his eyebrows.

Another Great Dao Fragment!

Li Rui's mouth lifted slightly.

Sure enough,

he passed perfectly again.

He even suspected that the set-up maze array couldn't stand him brushing monsters every day, so it took the initiative to let him go.

In the dantian,

the Dao Embryo little person who had absorbed the Great Dao Fragment became even more ethereal and dusty, as if standing alone in the world.

The whole person seemed like an immortal who did not touch the dust.

More and more extraordinary.

Li Rui then raised his head and strode into the Taixu Daoist Field.

He still walked very slowly.

The white jade square was huge, and he walked for a full quarter of an hour, but only arrived at the edge of the Taixu Daoist Field.

And here, a giant stone tablet stood.

On it was written the rules of the Taixu Daoist Field.

"Those who enter the Daoist Field are all seeking the True Person, should ascend the steps and knock on the door, question the heart and clarify the nature... fighting and killing are forbidden."

Looking and looking,

Li Rui's face became strange.

Only because he saw an age limit on the stone tablet.

It was right.

There are generally two types of people who can enter the Taixu Daoist Field: one is an Immortal Lord with great Dao attainments, and the other is a heaven-gifted genius.

Like the Yu Kingdom,

the cultivation world also doesn't like cultivators who are too old.

It generally represents that there is not much potential.

After all, having lived for so long, if there were really potential, it should have been realized long ago.

'Miaoxuan Realm under forty.'

Seeing this requirement,

Li Rui was instantly depressed.

He didn't expect that even after cultivating, he could still be age-discriminated.

But it was reasonable; the Taixu Daoist Field is the place where all immortals realize the Dao, how can those who enter be ordinary?

Age is just a basic condition.

Still the same saying, the Taixu Daoist Field is not short of geniuses.

'Forget it.'

Li Rui sighed.

Of course, he didn't continue to struggle; this is the rule of the Taixu Daoist Field, how can he, a Below Tongxuan, break it?

'At worst, I'll come to explore when I become an Immortal Lord.'

What he lacks most is patience.

Just as Li Rui intended to leave,

a divine light shot from the stone tablet, wrapping Li Rui in it.

Seeing this scene,

Li Rui revealed surprise in his eyes.

Because according to the inscription, only those who meet the conditions can trigger the divine light.

'Am I also young and promising?'
