Chapter 449: Immortal Lord Inheritance [Two-in-one, additional update seeking monthly tickets!!]

Clang!

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

Great Dao residual sound.

At the same time.

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

"Once traveling the mysterious true Dao, soaring and stepping to ascend the Great Clouds. Carrying the satchel to build the Heaven Gate, asking the Supreme Home."

Every word and every sentence resonated with the Great Dao.

Already close to the Dao!

Li Rui is a Primordial 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, naturally is a congenital 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 doesn't cultivate True Qi, has a chance to realize the Dao.

As long as one can realize a thread of Great Dao aura.

Even a mortal can be called a Heavenly Phenomenon.

Of course.

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

One step into Heavenly Phenomenon?

Doesn't exist.

But for the Below Tongxuan realm, even if just broken through, as long as one can realize the Great Dao, one can ascend to heaven in one step.

It's just that such characters don't exist in the world, which leads to having to climb step by step, steadily and surely.

Li Rui also discovered not long ago.

That he might really be able to realize the Great Dao before the peak of Below Tongxuan.

But thinking about it.

If even his heaven-defying constitution couldn't do it, then there would truly be no one else in the world who could.

He has this confidence.

"Master, the Heir Apparent is about to reach his capping ceremony in a few days, shall we go?"

Liu Liu Tiezhu said.

Li Rui said with a smile: "Naturally, we must go."

A few days ago.

Yuan An came to the Profound Micro Sect once, saying he would return to Yunzhou in a few days, and the Annan Marquis Yuan Yuan Dingting would hold a capping ceremony for him.

The so-called capping ceremony.

Is the coming-of-age ceremony; in the Yu Kingdom, any man who reaches the age of twenty can be capped.

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

So generally speaking, most of those who have the capping custom are family disciples; ordinary commoners don't have that much attention to detail.

Yuan An is the Heir Apparent, so the capping ceremony naturally couldn't be small.

At that time, it will definitely be inviting heroes from all over the world to observe the ceremony.

Yuan An came before, specifically to invite Li Rui to attend.

"Alright."

Liu Liu Tiezhu became interested as soon as he heard he might go down the mountain.

He had never been to Yunzhou.

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's status is noble.

And he has called him Master for so long, so naturally, he must go.

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

And in reason and emotion, he should also go.

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

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

"Alright."

Liu Liu Tiezhu nodded.

Another night.

After Li Rui finished practicing, 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 much more difficult than Li Rui; generally speaking, they only met once every few years.

It's just that the cultivator's lifespan is long enough.

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

Li Rui stepped up.

The White Jade Steps had no difficulty for him now, and he reached the top in just a few breaths.

Not long after.

He arrived at the small house where the Longevity Dao Lord was.

As usual.

When he approached, the phantom of the Longevity Dao Lord had already appeared, and the sound of lecturing 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 looking for a long time without dying, the old body does not change, if there is the Dao, there is nothing difficult..."

Li Rui sat cross-legged.

Listening carefully.

Everything was normal.

But the next moment.

The small person in the Dantian seemed to have sensed something, slowly opened its eyes, and the Dao rhyme around its body became even thicker.

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

Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light.

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

This scene was miraculous.

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

And then.

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

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

In the blink of an eye.

The phantom of the Longevity Dao Lord exploded with a 'bang'.

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

Afterwards, a burst of incomparably refreshing 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 the Longevity Dao Lord.

True Person residual soul!

Li Rui was 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 residual soul of the artifact spirit left by the True Person, it cannot hurt you."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

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

Ingenious craftsmanship!

He himself had seen quite a few magic treasures, and some magic treasures had artifact spirits.

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

'Truly the handwriting of an Immortal Lord.'

Li Rui's hand that was about to grasp the blade slowly put down.

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 Primordial Realm.

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

And this place is the Grand Void Dao Field.

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

One must know.

The current Grand Void Dao Field is not what it was back then, having long been sealed by the Lord of the Immortal Court at the intersection of reality and illusion.

In other words, the phantom of the Longevity Dao Lord in front of him couldn't possibly have any influence on him.

Li Rui bowed deeply: "Senior."

The artifact spirit's smile increased: "Good, good, truly a top-notch and polite descendant. The True Person left me in the Dao Field to find a successor; only those with fate can wake me up."

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

"However, I am just an artifact spirit, still a residual soul, 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'.

Its body floated up, circling the Dao Fetus small person in front of it several times.

Only then did it 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.

Immortal Lord Nanhua?

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

Li Rui didn't have much surprise.

An Immortal Lord having a Dao Fetus is not an outrageous thing.

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

Not everyone can become an Immortal Lord in the end.

He was about to speak, but heard the artifact spirit small person wave his hand: "No matter, my True Person, although obviously not showing, in terms of ability, it doesn't necessarily mean he is weaker than Immortal Lord Nanhua. Today I will pass you..."

The words were only half spoken.

The artifact spirit narrowed his eyes again, and then gasped.

"Your immortal technique is so brilliant, who passed it to you? Speak quickly!"

Li Rui was somewhat surprised.

But still said: "This is the Mount Changqing Technique, which I accidentally obtained in an immortal relic."

The artifact spirit's 'tsk tsk' sounds increased:

"Didn't expect, didn't expect, my True Person was just from the countryside, but the person who has fate with him in later generations is a rich kid."

Obviously.

The artifact spirit, like Wu De, regarded 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 top inheritance can afford it.

Can't say it's cheating.

The artifact spirit small person felt somewhat depressed.

It was hard to have a descendant with fate let it unseal, but didn't expect that not only did he have a Dao Fetus, but even the immortal technique was not weaker than the Longevity True Person's technique.

How to teach?

Nothing to teach.

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

How could it not be depressed.

Li Rui didn't think so.

Immortal techniques and talent are important, but there is one other thing that is also very critical.

That is experience.

Although the artifact spirit small person is not the Longevity True Person himself, he has followed the Longevity True Person for many years, and his understanding of the Immortal Dao must be far superior to his own.

This is a supreme treasure for Li Rui.

Afterwards.

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

It was truly as he thought; the artifact spirit small person himself had ordinary strength, but his insight 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 finally regained his confidence.

Finally.

The time for the Great Dream Immortal Travel arrived, and Li Rui was listening with great interest, but it came to an abrupt end.

Early morning.

Li Rui sat up from the bed, still feeling unsatisfied.

'Worthy of being an Immortal Lord.'

Having the artifact spirit small person is equivalent to half a Longevity Dao Lord teaching experience hand-in-hand.

This is too precious.

Even in the cultivation world, it is very difficult to have this fortune.

Accompanying old grandfather?

A strange thought appeared in Li Rui's heart.

Looking at it this way.

'Could it be that I am truly the Son of Heaven?'

Five days passed in a flash.

At noon this day.

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

"Liu Tiezhu, why prepare the carriage?"

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

Li Rui shook his head with a smile:

"Yunzhou is a thousand li away, taking a carriage is 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 Liu Tiezhu had been in the Profound Micro Sect for so many years; if he didn't even know about flying magic treasures, he would truly have lived in vain.

Li Rui laughed out loud:

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

Liu Liu Tiezhu was overjoyed: "Must."

Correct.

Staying in the Profound Micro Sect for these years, Li Rui was very hot for the flying magic treasures used by those elders.

But the path taken was different.

So controlling magic treasures was a trouble for him.

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

He understood the essence of controlling magic treasures.

He no longer needs to be restricted by the array, plus the long journey to Yunzhou, taking a flying magic treasure is an excellent choice.

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

Following Li Rui's thought.

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

Not even a quarter of an hour.

The master and disciple crossed a thousand li and arrived at the official road outside Yunzhou City.

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

Too flashy.

Doesn't fit his style of doing things.

However, the feeling of driving a magic treasure is indeed not bad.

Li Rui brought Liu Liu Tiezhu and walked slowly into Yunzhou.

Yuan An's capping ceremony was still three days away, so he didn't rush to visit the Annan Marquis Mansion, but took Liu Liu Tiezhu to stroll in the city.

He was not much better than Liu Liu Tiezhu.

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

And even if he came.

Almost all were straight to the Marquis Mansion, rarely staying.

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

The smell of buns could be smelled from far away.

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 guards bragging about how delicious Zhang Ji's buns in Yunzhou were, so now it can be considered a taste.

Li Rui and Liu Liu Tiezhu ate big mouthfuls.

Most of the diners around were nearby residents.

Seeing the two dressed unusually, but eating roughly, they secretly felt it was novel.

Not even a moment.

Two cages of buns went into their stomachs.

Li Rui was someone who had eaten and seen a lot; the taste was actually not 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 as the two were drinking the free tea.

They heard the discussion of diners at a table not far away.

"It's still good that the little Marquis is back, the arrogant ones riding horses on the street have become much fewer."

"Isn't it."

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

"Yes."

Not long after.

More and more people followed the discussion.

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

Obviously.

Yuan An's reputation in Yunzhou City was not bad.

Li Rui listened, his mouth raised slightly.

'A child can be taught.'

'Truly a kind-hearted child.'

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

Such a situation.

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

For example, the capital.

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

After all, even if the Holy Emperor's mind is broad enough, the big officials in the court won't want to see another Yuan Yuan Dingting appear in Yunzhou.

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

On the contrary, he needs to appropriately show an arrogant appearance.

Not outstanding, just mediocre is enough.

Yuan An's move not only taught the arrogance of the arrogant in the city a lesson, but also set up an arrogant persona for himself.

'Very good.'

Li Rui secretly praised in his heart.

He wouldn't do things like chivalry, not because he was cold-blooded, but because his background didn't fit.

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

To be righteous.

What is righteous?

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

Yuan An is Yuan Yuan Dingting's son, the future Annan Marquis.

This Yunzhou must be his fief.

Being able to use some means to make the people in the city live better is kindness, and if he can also make himself live more comfortably, that is great kindness.

Yuan An did quite well.

Of course.

All of this will 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 Marquis Mansion was full of guests, he arrived late.

When he brought Liu Liu Tiezhu to the gate of the Marquis Mansion, several of Yuan Yuan Dingting's foster sons were welcoming guests at the gate.

Among them were Nie Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong.

Both of them specially rushed back from Qinghe.

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

He strode over, pulled Li Rui's arm and said: "Brother Li, you played in the city for several days, and didn't call your brother, too much, truly too much, tonight you must punish yourself with three cups."

The Annan Marquis Mansion is the sky of Yunzhou.

If even Li Rui coming to Yunzhou was not known, then Yuan Yuan Dingting's foster sons would be too useless.

In fact, the day Li Rui came.

Nie Nie Siming and the others already knew.

It's just that since Li Rui didn't come to the Marquis Mansion, they didn't disturb Li Rui's interest.

Not long after.

Li Rui was pulled to the gate by Nie Nie Siming.

At this time.

Four people stood in front of the Marquis Mansion.

It was the other four foster 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 Master, Fifth Master."

Calling Yuan Yuan Dingting's foster sons 'Master' is a way of calling only found in the Marquis Mansion.

Although Li Rui had already left the Marquis Mansion, to show closeness, he still called them Master.

The foster son with the highest seniority, Meng Chong, smiled slightly: "Master Li, no need to be polite, we are all family."

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

Li Rui was an instructor in the mansion.

He had been there

Meng Chong said to Nie Nie Siming, "Seventh Brother, Mr. Li is an honored guest. You must lead him into the manor yourself; do not be negligent."

"Don't worry, Big Brother."

Nie Nie Siming said, patting his chest.

Li Rui was indeed surprised.

As a Below Tongxuan martial artist with a third-rank official position, being called an honored guest in most places was truly not a problem.

But at the Annan Marquis Prefecture, it was far from enough.

Not to mention anything else.

Among those who came to the Marquis Prefecture to celebrate this time, who among the team leaders wasn't a Below Tongxuan expert?

Every one of them was from a major sect or a high-ranking official from various regions.

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

It was truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with no ordinary people coming and going.

Meng Chong himself was a figure ranked in the top one hundred of the Martial Evaluation, so calling Li Rui an honored guest was, of course, an elevation.

Li Rui chuckled.

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

Unlike the other guests.

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

For example, Wang Li.

After many years of not seeing him, Wang Li appeared increasingly aged.

After all, unlike most people in the manor, his martial path realm had only just entered the ranks; he was a true civil official.

Li Rui and Wang Li had a chat to catch up on old times.

Only then did he learn that the Marquis, mindful of Wang Li's diligent work in the manor for many years, had already severed their ties; after the new year, Wang Li would head north to take up his post as a Tongzhi of a prefecture, a proper fourth-rank position.

For a civil official, this was already a decent path forward.

Wang Li had traveled thousands of miles to the Marquis Prefecture, and it wasn't just to become a high official.

This path of his was something even some top graduates might not necessarily match.

Yuan Yuan Dingting was good in this regard: sentimental 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 filled with envy.

But envy was useless.

Who told Li Rui to have served as an instructor in the Marquis Prefecture back in the day? His status naturally made him closer to them.

Just at this moment.

The protagonist of the banquet finally appeared.

Yuan Yuan Dingting and his wife, Cui Cui Chuxue, were seen walking out from the deepest courtyard of the Marquis Prefecture.

Just like ten years ago, there hadn't been many changes to the two of them.

The Heir, Yuan An, followed obediently behind them.

The crowd followed Yuan Yuan Dingting to the ancestral temple.

After that came the long-winded rituals.

A series of steps including the three capping ceremonies, congratulatory speeches, changing of clothes, and expressing gratitude.

Although tedious, there was not a hint of impatience on Yuan An's face; he was solemn. Of course, some small details were still noticed by the old foxes who came to observe the ceremony, revealing the young Heir's immaturity.

There were many people who came to congratulate and curry favor for this capping ceremony, but there were also no few who came specifically to see the quality of this young Marquis of Annan.

There was no help for it.

Too many people were eyeing the status of the Annan Marquis Heir.

The ceremony was completed.

Then Yuan Yuan Dingting was heard speaking slowly:

"My young son is not deeply experienced in worldly affairs; I should invite a virtuous person to advise and restrain him more, to increase his martial virtue."

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