Chapter 449

Clang!

There is no bell in the Immortal Court, but a deep bell sound echoed in Li Rui's heart lake.

Great Dao remnant sound.

At the same time.

The Dao Fetus small person also began to open its mouth and sing loudly.

"Formerly involved in the Profound Truth Dao, stepping up to ascend the Great Mist. Carrying the book to build the Heaven Pass, borrowing to ask the Supreme Home."

Every word and every sentence actually resonated with the Great Dao.

Already near the Dao!

Li Rui is an Innate Immortal Martial Dao Fetus.

This "Immortal Martial" refers to his immortal spiritual root and martial bones, and the "Dao Fetus" naturally refers to the Dao Fetus small person sitting in the dantian.

Dao Fetus, Dao Fetus, is naturally an innate existence close to the Dao.

Why is He Qiannian so obsessed with the Dao Fetus?

It is precisely because if one has this Dao Fetus, even He Qiannian, who does not cultivate true qi, has a chance to comprehend the Dao.

As long as one can comprehend a wisp of Great Dao aura.

Even a mortal can be called a Heavenly Phenomenon.

Of course.

Although the theory is so, for ten thousand ten thousand years, no mortal has been able to do this step.

One step into Heavenly Phenomenon?

Does not exist.

But for the Profound Realm, even if just broken through, as long as one can comprehend the Great Dao, one can ascend to heaven in one step.

It's just that such a person does not exist in the world, so it leads to only being able to climb step by step and steadily.

Li Rui also discovered not long ago.

That he might really be able to comprehend the Great Dao before the peak of the Profound Realm.

But thinking about it.

If even his heaven-defying constitution couldn't do it, then no one in the world could really do it.

He had this confidence.

"Master, the Prince will be coming of age in a few days, shall we go?"

Liu Tiezhu said.

Li Rui smiled and said: "Of course we are going."

A few days ago.

Yuan An came to the Qingwei Sect once, saying that he would return to Yunzhou in a few days, and then the Annan Marquis Yuan Dingting would hold a coming-of-age ceremony for him.

The so-called coming-of-age.

Is the adulthood ceremony; men in the Yu Kingdom who are twenty years old can come of age.

It means that from then on, one can bear the weight of the family.

So generally speaking, most of those who have the coming-of-age custom are family children; ordinary common people don't have that fastidiousness.

Yuan An is a prince, so his coming-of-age ceremony naturally couldn't be small.

By then, he would definitely invite heroes from all over the world to observe the ceremony.

Yuan An came before specifically to invite Li Rui to participate.

"Alright."

Liu Tiezhu was excited at the possibility of going down the mountain.

He had never been to Yunzhou.

It was just right to open his eyes.

Li Rui smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Alright, there are still many days, what's the rush."

Yuan An has a noble status.

And has called him Master for so long, so naturally, he couldn't not go.

Otherwise, he would be rejecting Yuan Dingting's face.

And in terms of reason and emotion, he should also go.

"By the way, Tiezhu, you go to Qinghe first, and tell your Senior Brother Liang to send the things I entrusted directly to Yunzhou."

Liu Tiezhu, who was about to turn and leave, was called back by Li Rui.

"Good."

Liu Tiezhu nodded.

Another night.

After Li Rui finished his cultivation, he went to sleep early and came to the Grand Void Dao Field.

Still no sign of Wu De.

But it was also within expectations.

Wu De entering the Grand Void Dao Field was already much more difficult than Li Rui, and generally speaking, they only met once every few years.

That is to say, the cultivator's lifespan is long enough.

Otherwise, the two of them really wouldn't be able to meet a few times.

Li Rui climbed the steps.

The white jade steps now had no difficulty for him, and he reached the top in just a few breaths.

Not long after.

He came to the small house where Daoist Lord Wanshou was.

As usual.

When he approached, the phantom of Daoist Lord Wanshou appeared, and the sound of preaching slowly sounded:

"If the immortal, uses medicine to nourish the body, uses techniques to extend life, so that internal diseases do not arise, external troubles do not enter, although long-lived and not dead, the old body does not change, if one has the Dao, there is nothing difficult..."

Li Rui sat cross-legged.

Listening carefully.

Originally everything was normal.

But the next moment.

The small person in his dantian seemed to have felt something, slowly opened his eyes, and the Dao rhyme around his body became even thicker.

Li Rui and the Dao Fetus small person were connected in body and mind.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration.

His mouth opened slightly, and a small person the size of a palm actually floated out from his mouth.

This scene was extremely miraculous.

The Dao Fetus small person and the phantom of Daoist Lord Wanshou confronted each other from afar.

And then.

Li Rui slowly raised his arm, and the Dao Fetus small person also made the same movement as Li Rui.

Li Rui's finger pointed into the void, while the Dao Fetus small person's finger pointed exactly at the center of the phantom of Daoist Lord Wanshou's eyebrows!

In the blink of an eye.

The phantom of Daoist Lord Wanshou exploded with a bang.

Finally turning into dots of divine brilliance floating in the air.

Afterward, a burst of incomparably happy laughter sounded in the room.

"Hahahaha, my Dao is not alone!"

At this time.

The divine brilliance in the air slowly gathered, finally turning into a small old man the size of a palm, similar to the Dao Fetus.

It was exactly the same as the previous phantom of Daoist Lord Wanshou.

Fufeng Zhenjun remnant soul!

Li Rui was greatly shocked in his heart.

Just as he was about to do something, he heard the small person speak: "Young man, no need to be afraid, I am a remnant soul of the artifact spirit left by the Fufeng Zhenjun, I cannot hurt you."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

After looking closely, he realized that the small person in front of him was really an artifact spirit.

Masterpiece of craftsmanship!

He asked himself that he had seen quite a few magic treasures now, and some magic treasures also had artifact spirits.

But one as lively as the small person in front of him was unheard of.

"Truly the handiwork of an Immortal Lord."

Li Rui's hand that was about to grasp the blade slowly let go.

Not because the small person in front of him was an artifact spirit, but because the artifact spirit small person in front of him was really weak.

Only the appearance of the Innate.

Even if it only had Innate strength, it wouldn't hurt to chat a few more sentences.

And this place was the Grand Void Dao Field.

It was extremely difficult for outsiders to enter the Dao Field today, and it was even harder for those inside to get out.

You have to know.

Today's Grand Void Dao Field is not what it was back then; it had long been sealed by that Lord of the Immortal Court at the boundary of reality and illusion.

That is to say, the phantom of Daoist Lord Wanshou in front of him couldn't possibly cause him any influence.

Li Rui bowed deeply: "Senior."

The smile on the artifact spirit's face grew wider: "Good, good, truly a top-notch and polite junior; the Fufeng Zhenjun left me in the Dao Field to find a successor, and only those with affinity can wake me up."

"If you have any doubts in your cultivation in the future, you can come and ask me."

"But I am just an artifact spirit, and a remnant soul at that, so don't expect me to give you a path to heaven; also, I can only maintain it for sixty years before I dissipate."

Just as he was speaking.

The artifact spirit suddenly let out an "eh".

His body floated up and circled the Dao Fetus small person in front of him several times.

Only then did he say somewhat surprised:

"Incredible, to actually be able to see someone with a Dao Fetus."

"What is your relationship with that Immortal Lord Nanhua?"

Li Rui blinked his eyes.

Immortal Lord Nanhua?

He naturally didn't know Immortal Lord Nanhua, but it wasn't hard to guess that that Immortal Lord should also possess a Dao Fetus.

Li Rui had no surprise.

An Immortal Lord possessing a Dao Fetus was not an outrageous thing.

After all, there were several Dao Fetus geniuses recorded in ancient books.

And not all of them ended up becoming Immortal Lords.

He was about to speak, but heard the artifact spirit small person wave his hand: "No matter, although my Fufeng Zhenjun is not obvious, in terms of ability, he is not necessarily weaker than Immortal Lord Nanhua; I will pass you today..."

The words were only half spoken.

The artifact spirit narrowed his eyes again, followed by a gasp of cold air.

"Your immortal formula is so brilliant, who taught it to you, speak quickly!"

Li Rui was somewhat surprised.

But still said: "This is the Changqing Method, which I accidentally obtained in an immortal ruin."

The tsk-tsk sounds in the artifact spirit's mouth grew more:

"Didn't expect, didn't expect, my Fufeng Zhenjun was just from a rural background, but the person with affinity with him in later generations is a rich kid."

Clearly.

The artifact spirit was like Wu De, both treating him as a descendant of some great inheritance.

Li Rui was happy to be so.

Saving a lot of tongue.

After all, his configuration, in the cultivation world, I'm afraid only the most top-notch inheritance could afford it.

Can't say it's cheating.

The artifact spirit small person saw this and couldn't help but feel a bit depressed.

It was hard to let him unseal, but he didn't expect that not only did he possess a Dao Fetus, but even the immortal formula was not weaker than Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou's cultivation method.

How to teach?

Nothing to teach.

Originally wanted to show off, but now it seems there is no chance.

How could he not be depressed.

Li Rui didn't think so.

Immortal methods and talent are certainly important, but there is one other thing that is also key.

That is experience.

Although the artifact spirit small person is not Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou himself, he has followed Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou for many years, and his understanding of the immortal path must be far superior to his own.

This is a supreme treasure for Li Rui.

Afterward.

He asked the artifact spirit small person about many cultivation matters.

It was indeed as he thought; the artifact spirit small person himself had ordinary strength, but his knowledge was extremely extraordinary, and a few words from a high position were of great use to Li Rui.

Seeing Li Rui listening with fascination, the artifact spirit small person regained his confidence.

Finally.

It was still the time for the Great Dream Immortal Travel, and Li Rui was listening with interest when it came to an abrupt end.

Early morning.

Li Rui sat up from the bed, still wanting more.

"As expected of an Immortal Lord."

With the artifact spirit small person, it was equivalent to half a Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou teaching him experience hand in hand.

This was too precious.

Even in the cultivation world, it was very difficult to have this blessing.

Accompanying old grandfather?

A strange thought appeared in Li Rui's heart.

Looking at it this way.

"Could it be, I am really the Son of Heaven?"

Five days passed in a flash.

At noon this day.

Liu Tiezhu had long since prepared the carriage in front of the courtyard gate of Changqing Peak, but Li Rui walked over, and one sentence stunned him.

"Tiezhu, why prepare the carriage?"

Liu Tiezhu blinked his eyes: "Master, aren't we going out?"

Li Rui smiled and shook his head:

"Yunzhou is thousands of miles away, taking a carriage takes too long."

"Use this."

After saying that.

Li Rui threw it casually, and then saw a small boat swell in the wind, finally becoming a zhang long.

"This is a flying magic treasure?!"

Liu Tiezhu had been in the Qingwei Sect for so many years; if he didn't even know about flying magic treasures, he would really have lived in vain.

Li Rui laughed:

"Let's go, Tiezhu, let's master and disciple taste the flavor of this magic treasure."

Liu Tiezhu was overjoyed: "Must."

That's right.

Staying in the Qingwei Sect all these years, Li Rui was very hot for the flying magic treasures cast by those elders.

But unfortunately, the path taken was different.

So manipulating magic treasures was a troublesome thing for him.

It was also after some guidance from the artifact spirit small person that he suddenly realized.

He understood the essence of manipulating magic treasures.

He no longer needed to be restricted by the array, and the journey to Yunzhou was long, so taking a flying magic treasure was the best choice.

Li Rui and Liu Tiezhu stepped onto the small boat one after another.

With a thought from Li Rui.

The small boat slowly rose, and then turned into a divine rainbow and disappeared at the end of the sky of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Not even a quarter of an hour.

The master and disciple crossed thousands of miles and arrived at the official road outside Yunzhou City.

Li Rui didn't directly drive the magic treasure into Yunzhou.

It was too ostentatious.

It didn't fit his style of doing things.

But the feeling of driving a magic treasure was indeed good.

Li Rui took Liu Tiezhu and walked slowly into Yunzhou.

Yuan An's coming-of-age ceremony was still three days away, so he didn't rush to visit the Annan Hou Fu, but took Liu Tiezhu for a stroll in the city.

He was not much better than Liu Tiezhu.

He had lived in Yunzhou for decades, but the number of times he came to Yunzhou was truly not many.

And even if he came.

It was almost straight to the Hou Fu, with very little stay.

Li Rui took Liu Tiezhu to a bun shop, with a sign written "Zhang Ji" floating in mid-air.

The smell of buns could be smelled from afar.

Li Rui ordered three cages.

One cage was for Old Yang, although Old Yang didn't have a chance to eat it.

Back in Qinghe.

The two of them often listened to the courtyard guards bragging about how delicious the buns at Zhang Ji in Yunzhou were, so now it could be considered a taste.

Li Rui and Liu Tiezhu ate big mouthfuls.

Most of the surrounding diners were nearby residents.

Looking at the two of them dressed well, but eating roughly, they secretly felt it was novel.

But for a moment.

Two cages of buns went down their stomachs.

Li Rui was someone who had seen and eaten a lot, the taste actually couldn't be said to be good, at most it was thin skin and big filling, it was true that it was affordable, but compared to the delicacies of mountains and seas, it was definitely not as good.

Just when the two were drinking free tea.

They heard diners at a table not far away discussing.

"It's still good that the Young Marquis is back, there are much fewer fops riding horses on the street."

"Isn't it."

"The Young Marquis has said, in this Yunzhou City, the Young Marquis is the biggest fop, others are not worthy, see one beat one."

"Yes."

Not long after.

More and more people followed the discussion.

The Young Marquis they were talking about could naturally only be one person, Yuan An.

Clearly.

Yuan An's reputation in Yunzhou City was quite good.

Li Rui listened, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"A child can be taught."

"Truly a kind-hearted child."

Yuan An is the eldest legitimate son, and very likely an only son, almost a nailed-down future hereditary Annan Marquis.

In such a situation.

His threat didn't come from Yunzhou, but from the outside.

Just like the capital.

So even if he was low-key, it was useless; on the contrary, being appropriately arrogant and domineering could make the big figures in the imperial court dispel their guard.

After all, even if the Holy Emperor's mind was broad enough, the big officials in the court wouldn't be willing to see another Yuan Dingting appear in Yunzhou.

So Yuan An was destined not to have a virtuous name.

On the contrary, he needed to appropriately express the appearance of a fop.

Not outstanding, just mediocre.

Yuan An's move not only taught the fops in the city a lesson but also established a fop persona for himself.

"Very good."

Li Rui secretly praised in his heart.

He wouldn't do things of chivalry and righteousness, not because he was cold-blooded by nature, but because his background was not suitable.

Before on Changqing Peak, Li Rui often taught Yuan An.

To be on the right path.

What is the right path?

It is not to become a saint, but to be good at using one's own advantages to do the most correct things.

Yuan An is the son of Yuan Dingting, the future Annan Marquis.

This Yunzhou must be his fief.

Being able to use some means to make the common people in the city live better is kindness; if one can also make oneself live more comfortably, that is great kindness.

Yuan An did quite well.

Of course.

All of this would definitely be seen through by those old men in the court.

But it doesn't matter, Yuan An is still young, and when he inherits the Marquis title, he will definitely not be worse than those old men's minds.

Li Rui stayed in Yunzhou for several days.

Until the Annan Hou Fu was full of guests, he arrived late.

When he brought Liu Tiezhu to the Hou Fu gate, several of Yuan Dingting's adopted sons were welcoming guests at the gate.

Among them were Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong.

Both of them had specifically rushed back from Qinghe.

Nie Siming saw Li Rui in the crowd at a glance.

He walked over directly, grabbed Li Rui's arm and said: "Old Brother Li, you played in the city for several days and didn't call your younger brother, excessive, truly excessive, tonight you must punish yourself with three cups."

The Annan Hou Fu is the sky of Yunzhou.

If even Li Rui coming to Yunzhou was something they didn't know, then Yuan Dingting's adopted sons would be too useless.

In fact, on the day Li Rui came.

Nie Siming and the others already knew.

It's just that since Li Rui didn't come to the Hou Fu, they simply didn't disturb Li Rui's interest.

Not long after.

Li Rui was pulled to the gate by Nie Siming.

At this time.

Four people stood in front of the Hou Fu.

They were the other four adopted sons who remained in Yunzhou.

The other three didn't return because of the war in the north.

Li Rui cupped his hands to the other two: "Great Teacher, Fifth Teacher."

Calling Yuan Dingting's adopted sons "Teacher" is a way of calling only found in the Hou Fu.

Although Li Rui had already left the Hou Fu, to show intimacy, he still addressed them as Teacher.

The adopted son with the highest seniority of Yuan Dingting, Meng Chong, smiled slightly: "Teacher Li, why be polite, we are all one family."

The fifth son, Zhong Wenfeng, also looked at Li Rui with a smile.

Li Rui was a teacher in the mansion.

He had even been there several times before, and although the two sides were not as familiar with Li Rui as Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong, they still recognized him.

Meng Chong said to Nie Siming: "Seventh Brother, Teacher Li is an honored guest, you lead him into the mansion personally, don't neglect him."

"Big Brother, don't worry."

Nie Siming said while patting his chest.

Li Rui was surprised.

With his Profound Realm martial artist and Third-Rank official status, it was really no problem to be called an honored guest in most places.

But in the Annan Hou Fu, it was far from enough.

Not to mention anything else.

Who among those who came to the Hou Fu to celebrate this time wasn't a Profound Realm expert?

Everyone was from major sects or big officials from various places.

There was even no lack of great experts in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

It was truly hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and no one who came was an ordinary person.

Meng Chong himself was a figure in the top one hundred of the Martial Ranking, so calling Li Rui an honored guest was naturally raising him up.

Li Rui chuckled.

Afterward, he took Liu Tiezhu and followed Nie Siming into the courtyard.

Unlike other guests.

Li Rui went straight into the inner courtyard, where he saw many acquaintances.

For example, Wang Li.

After many years, Wang Li looked increasingly old.

After all, unlike most people in the mansion, his martial arts realm was only at the entry rank, and he was a true civil official.

Li Rui and Wang Li reminisced about the past.

Only then did he know that the Marquis missed Wang Li's diligent work in the mansion for many years, so he had already severed the relationship, and after the year-end, Wang Li would go north to take up his post as a prefecture assistant, a proper Fourth-Rank.

For a civil official, this was already a good way out.

Wang Li traveled thousands of miles to the Hou Fu, and it wasn't for the sake of becoming a big official.

This way out of his was something even some top graduates might not be able to compare to.

Yuan Dingting was good at this point: nostalgic and generous.

Li Rui had many acquaintances in the inner courtyard and chatted enthusiastically.

Some powerful figures in the outer courtyard saw this and were so envious.

But envy couldn't be envied.

Who told Li Rui to have been a teacher in the Hou Fu back then, so his status was naturally closer than theirs.

Just at this time.

The host of the banquet finally appeared.

Just see Yuan Dingting and his wife Cui Chuxue walk out from the deepest courtyard of the Hou Fu.

Still the same as ten years ago, the two didn't have too many changes.

The Prince Yuan An followed obediently behind.

Everyone followed Yuan Dingting to the ancestral temple.

After that, it was the long rituals.

Three crownings, congratulatory speeches, changing clothes, thanking grace, and a series of steps.

Although cumbersome, Yuan An didn't have the slightest impatience on his face, but was solemn; of course, some small details were still noticed by the old foxes who came to observe the ceremony, the immaturity of this young prince.

This coming-of-age ceremony had many people coming to congratulate and climb the social ladder, but there were also quite a few who came specifically to see the quality of this young Marquis of Annan.

No way.

Who told the status of the Annan Marquis Prince to be watched by so many people.

The ceremony was completed.

But heard Yuan Dingting slowly speak:

"My young son is not deeply involved in affairs, so I should ask a virtuous person to advise and restrain him more, to increase his martial virtue."

"Today, I want to choose a good teacher for my young son."
