Chapter 462

"Uncle Li, Father specifically asked me to bring some local specialties. It's a small token of appreciation; I'll leave it here."

Li Rui watched a young man leave.

He looked at the gifts Liu Liu Tiezhu was carrying in his hands.

It was another day for Dao Academy students to enter the immortal sects.

The quality of this batch was excellent.

Among them were many children of royalty and nobility.

The young man who had just left was the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the capital.

Li Rui had no friendship with that Vice Minister.

But that didn't stop the Vice Minister's son from coming to visit; there were quite a few people like the young man before him recently, and every one who came had prepared generous gifts.

Mount Changqing Peak had become much livelier as a result.

Yuan An laughed: "Master, why do these people insist on fighting for that quota?"

He of course knew.

The reason those old fogies, who were as shrewd as demons, sent their precious children into the immortal sects was for that chance to go to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

This matter had already spread among the upper echelons.

That was the Immortal Cultivation Realm!

As long as their children could make a name for themselves in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, why worry about the family business not prospering?

Being able to establish a sect and clan in the Immortal Cultivation Realm was the real skill.

It was not just the Profound Micro Sect; other sects were the same.

For the sake of the quota.

It could be said that undercurrents were surging.

The Profound Micro Sect was at the forefront of the world's immortal sects, so it was naturally the target of countless Yu Kingdom officials.

And Li Rui, the Yu Kingdom's garrison in the Profound Micro Sect, naturally became an important object to befriend.

Those noble children who came to the door were counting on Li Rui to take care of them a bit more in the Profound Micro Sect, so they could have more certainty of obtaining a quota.

Li Rui smiled: "Still too anxious; these immortal sects haven't even built the great array yet."

Crossing the Immortal Gate was not an easy task.

As an array master, he knew too well how difficult it was to set up a great array that crossed two realms.

Even for an immortal sect.

Only those few with extremely deep foundations had this strength.

He knew that there were several old monsters in the Profound Micro Sect's Supreme Elder Hall who had been in seclusion for years, and one of them was an array master.

A First-Rank Array Master!

The Profound Micro Sect's great array was his responsibility.

The work was done extremely covertly.

Even Li Rui couldn't obtain too much information.

'Young people.'

Li Rui murmured softly.

If he were also a young man embarking on the immortal path with a bright future, he would probably also be squeezing his head to fight for it.

But now.

There was no need for that.

Not to mention that he didn't intend to go to the Immortal Cultivation Realm for the time being; even if he wanted to go, as long as he had enough patience, there were many ways.

He was ultimately no longer one of those young people with shallow foundations.

If he still needed to bite the bullet and rush around everywhere now, then those hundred years would have been lived in vain.

He looked at Yuan An: "Little Tiger, what did the Marquis say?"

Being asked by Li Rui like this.

Yuan An was a bit shy: "Father didn't say anything, but Mother said that if I dare to go, even if I reach the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he will find someone to break my legs and drag me back."

Li Rui was speechless.

He had long heard that this eldest daughter of the Cui clan was once a heroine who beat drums for an army of one hundred thousand.

Now seeing it, it was truly so.

'A mother worries when her child travels a thousand miles.'

Li Rui smiled and shook his head.

He didn't say anything about obeying one's parents; young people were least willing to listen to these things.

"Little Tiger, with your current bit of skill, if you go, you'll just be eaten like a bean. At least wait until you reach the upper three ranks; even if you become a bean, you should at least break someone else's teeth, right?"

Yuan An was happy.

He liked listening to his master speak; it was simple and easy to understand, making one feel comfortable all over.

"Master, I understand."

Li Rui then waved his hand: "Good, go."

Then he returned to his room.

He didn't cultivate the Wan Gu Chang Qing Gong, nor did he refine the Great Dao.

Instead, he took several yellow talismans from his sleeve.

He carefully traced on the yellow talismans with cinnabar mixed with spiritual medicine, his expression extremely serious.

He didn't dare to make a single mistake.

At first, it was extremely slow.

Gradually, the speed of tracing became faster and faster.

From tracing one talisman in an hour at the beginning, to half an hour, a quarter of an hour, and then three breaths later.

Li Rui's movements didn't stop at all.

He drew talismans in the room for three full days and nights.

This day.

Li Rui's hands were still moving, but the yellow talisman before him was no longer visible.

Drawing talismans in the void!

If there were a talisman master here, they would definitely be able to tell at a glance.

This was a sign of the Third-Rank Talisman technique reaching completion!

And what Li Rui was drawing at this time was the Third-Rank Pagoda Talisman.

Times were different now.

Immortal techniques were no longer sensitive, and the imperial court's foundations were gradually becoming abundant.

Li Rui handed over the Five Spirits Body Refining Technique and the evil technique he had previously obtained from the Daoist Sheng, in exchange for this Third-Rank Pagoda Talisman.

Initially.

Li Rui's talisman technique had actually always been ahead of his array technique.

It was later, in order to cultivate the Lotus Heart Array, that he had a bias, and the talisman technique was deliberately delayed by him.

After the Lotus Heart Array was completed.

He then picked up the talisman technique again.

To this day, he had finally achieved the Third-Rank Talisman technique.

The speed at which Li Rui drew talismans in his hand became faster and faster, drawing complicated talisman scripts with the Mount Changqing Qi.

Finally!

"Rise."

Following Li Rui's word.

The talisman formed by the Mount Changqing Qi before him suddenly shone with golden light, and then, a small golden pagoda was seen completely covering Li Rui's body.

How familiar this scene was.

The disciple of the Did Si Feng sect who had been killed by Li Rui had once used a similar method to block Li Rui's attack.

At that time, Did Si Feng had actually used a magic treasure to store the talisman intent.

And now.

Li Rui could form the talisman by himself, and its power was far stronger than what Did Si Feng had once bestowed upon his disciple.

"Done."

Li Rui looked at the golden divine light around him, a curve appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Unlike the true intent of Yuan Yuan Dingting's lineage to forge ahead,

he had always considered defeat before victory.

Naturally, his first choice was defensive talismans.

This Pagoda Talisman was very good.

With a thought.

The divine brilliance of the Pagoda Talisman dissipated, and everything vanished into nothingness.

And all of this.

The Great True Person Daoist Qing Ding on the main peak of the Profound Micro Sect, miles away, and those old monsters from the upper realm had no way of knowing.

Li Rui stood up slowly and pushed the door open to walk out.

It was just noon.

The scorching golden sunlight fell on his body, warm and cozy.

Below Tongxuan Upper Realm, half-step Heavenly Phenomenon, Third-Rank Talisman Master, Third-Rank Array Master.

Such foundations were extremely sought-after wherever they were placed, and in terms of status, they could even be on par with Heavenly Phenomenon realm powerhouses.

Quite a few cultivators in the Profound Micro Sect relied on the Six Arts to reach high positions.

This was because whether it was talismans, arrays, or other means, they were an extremely important part of the sect, truly a cash cow.

Therefore, array masters, talisman masters, etc., generally had a status half a step higher than cultivators of the same rank.

It was also truly difficult to practice.

Moreover, practicing the Six Arts would also delay cultivation.

Of course, these problems didn't exist for Li Rui.

Walking out the door.

He happened to see Yuan An, who was cultivating in the courtyard.

"Master."

Yuan An turned his head to look at Li Rui.

Li Rui looked at Yuan An's increasingly full spirit; apart from his status as the son of the Marquis of Annan, Yuan An's own talent was also quite good, and thanks to his family background, he had never taken a wrong step.

His true qi was extremely pure.

Li Rui was amazed; this was the advantage of a noble family.

Yuan An: "Master, I heard news today that those who assassinated the Profound Micro Sect disciples were demonic cultivators incited by the Northern Pole Demon Sect."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

As the garrison set up by the Yu Kingdom in the Profound Micro Sect, although he couldn't solve today's matter, he always had to understand the latest developments.

So he had always let Yuan An inquire.

Yuan An: "I heard that Daoist Daoist Su Xuan Yu personally took action to suppress and kill a batch, and now it's much more peaceful."

Li Rui nodded:

"That's good."

Since Daoist Su Xuan Yu had already taken action, there was no need for him to worry too much.

It was just that this Northern Pole Demon Sect was becoming increasingly active.

'The world is hard to be peaceful.'
