Chapter 471

"Drawing the tribulation into the body can indeed not only strengthen the primordial spirit but also temper the physical body; it's just that using the physical body to bear the tribulation clouds is too dangerous."

The artifact spirit, the little old man, analyzed.

Cultivators of Li Rui's realm generally wouldn't be struck to death by the heavenly tribulation.

It hadn't reached the point of being envied by the heavens.

But crossing the tribulation within the body was an exception.

Even for body cultivators, those who chose to cross the tribulation within the body were extremely rare; not only because this path was difficult to practice, but also because quite a few had died under the heavenly tribulation.

Immortal cultivation is inherently going against the heavens, and body cultivation is even more against the heavens among those going against the heavens.

Not tolerated by the heavens and earth.

To draw the tribulation into the body in such a situation is no different from provoking the might of the heavens.

Li Rui: "Rest assured, Senior, I have my own sense of proportion."

He was somewhat different from body cultivators.

Body cultivators purely use the physical body to contain the tribulation clouds, while he could use the Immortal Court in his body to bear them, which was much gentler.

Having obtained the insights on crossing the tribulation from ancient body cultivators, Li Rui became more and more confident in his heart.

Ten-tenths certain!

Seeing Li Rui so certain, the artifact spirit, the little old man, didn't say anything more, and even felt a trace of anticipation.

This day.

"Master, outside there are two soldiers who claim to be from the north."

An old butler said respectfully to Li Rui.

Li Rui nodded.

"Good."

A large residence in the capital naturally needed servants to manage it.

It was just that Li Rui was strict in employing people.

Most of the people in the mansion were brought by him from Yunzhou.

He put down the book in his hand and stood up to come to the courtyard.

He saw two men covered in dust, wearing armor and helmets, standing in the courtyard.

One of them, a more handsome and lean man, bared his teeth, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Big Brother."

Correct.

The two before him were none other than Ning Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu, who had returned from the Northern Plains.

Looking at the two who were tanned and rough from being polished by the wind and sand of the Northern Plains.

Li Rui said gloomily: "You've tanned, you've thinned."

He came to the Mountain-Seeking Division in the capital.

After standing firm, he transferred the two back from the Northern Plains.

Just like Yuan Xiong and Nie Nie Siming.

The Northern Plains temper people, and the Mountain-Seeking Division is the same; it doesn't delay anything.

And Li Rui indeed needed to cultivate more manpower in the Mountain-Seeking Division.

Ning Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu were undoubtedly the best choices.

After years of fighting in the Northern Plains.

Ning Ning Zhongtian finally stepped into the Innate Realm as he wished, and Tan Hu was also at the Fifth-Rank Sea-Observing Realm; they were pillars of support wherever they were placed.

The reason why the two could advance so fast was, besides being competitive themselves, naturally inseparable from the large amount of resources Li Rui sent.

When one person achieves the Dao, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Li Rui was already almost at the Celestial Phenomenon, so he would naturally not be stingy with his brothers.

Wanting to eat well in the court.

Having a hard fist alone wouldn't work.

"Big Brother, this residence is truly impressive."

Ning Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu said, looking at Li Rui's imposing residence.

They had followed him to the capital back then; the residence they stayed in last time was the one in the Reception Office, which was elegant, but how could it compare to the luxury of the current one?

Look, the chairs were all made of the best South Sea sinking wood.

Li Rui: "Alright, I have already greeted Great Master Meng; you will follow General Nie to do things in the future."

Upon hearing this.

The two were even happier.

Ning Ning Zhongtian laughed, proudly saying to Tan Hu: "See, I said long ago that Big Brother must have already thought it out for us."

Tan Hu bared his teeth: "Why not say Big Brother is still the best."

The two sang in harmony.

Li Rui waved his hand: "You must be tired from the long journey; rest well, and then go to the Mountain-Seeking Division to report to General Nie; you know General Nie, so I won't go."

"Alright."

Ning Ning Zhongtian nodded fiercely.

Li Rui still thought wrong.

Ning Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu were not tired at all; they secretly slipped out of the residence late at night.

It wasn't until the next morning that they returned.

They didn't even rest their feet.

They went directly to the Mountain-Seeking Division to report.

"No wonder young men have such hot tempers."

Li Rui looked at the two leaving full of vigor and shook his head with a smile.

Given the rank of Ning Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu, they naturally didn't have the qualifications to be allocated a residence in the capital where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, and they had to rely on their own salaries to buy one.

The two didn't buy one either, and just like that, they moved into Li Rui's residence.

With a few people here.

The residence wouldn't be cold.

"Master, Uncle Ning and Uncle Tan went out of the city to execute a mission; Little Tiger said he went to see an old friend."

Only Liu Liu Tiezhu was left in the courtyard, scratching his head and saying.

Li Rui was dumbfounded.

During the day, only Liu Liu Tiezhu was in his courtyard.

Ning Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu had to execute a mission; Yuan An was the son of Marquis Annan, and he had lived in the capital for several years in his childhood, so he naturally knew quite a few people.

But Liu Liu Tiezhu didn't have so many connections, and his temperament was honest and simple.

The one he was familiar with was probably the auntie selling sesame cakes outside the residence.

Li Rui: "Liu Tiezhu, if you feel bored, I can find you a job in the workshop."

Liu Liu Tiezhu shook his head: "Master, I'm not bored; every day I forge iron, practice martial arts, and later I have to go fix the roof for Auntie Zhang's house; I'm busy."

Li Rui laughed: "Indeed very busy, then forget it."

This was also the place he liked about this second disciple.

A heart of innocence.

He was still the blacksmith from the blacksmith shop in Qinghe, at most not worrying about food or clothing.

He knew that Liu Liu Tiezhu had an excellent reputation in the streets and alleys nearby.

This seemed to have no help for practicing martial arts.

Actually, it was a process of tempering the heart, which would be of great help when comprehending the Great Dao in the Below Tongxuan Realm in the future.

Otherwise, why would some cultivators like to play in the red dust.

Li Rui didn't care about this disciple of his anymore.

He carried his hands behind his back.

First, he went to the Talisman Room and Array Room of the Mountain-Seeking Division.

In one breath, he finished refining the talismans and array flags for the next ten days.

Then he went to Jiang Jiang Linxian's residence.

Luck was not bad.

Jiang Jiang Linxian didn't go to the Imperial Observatory.

Seeing Li Rui standing before the gate, Jiang Jiang Linxian smiled and welcomed Li Rui into the residence while saying: "Old Brother Li, I just obtained some good pre-Ming tea."

Li Rui: "Old Brother Jiang, then I must taste it properly."

Not long after.

Fragrant tea smoke began to rise in the main hall.

Li Rui took a sip; it was fragrant at the entrance, and then the tip of his tongue felt sweet, accompanied by spiritual power nourishment.

"Good tea!"

He praised.

Jiang Jiang Linxian laughed: "With nothing to do in my leisure, I just thought of tinkering with some small things."

Li Rui glanced at Jiang Jiang Linxian's waist.

The wine gourd was no longer there.

"Old Brother Jiang, why don't you drink wine and changed to tea instead?"

Jiang Jiang Linxian's eyes revealed nostalgia: "Before, I wasn't allowed to drink, later I hid to drink, now that no one manages me, I have no interest in drinking."

Li Rui knew.

Jiang Jiang Linxian was talking about his late wife and daughter Jiang Yan.

Now this Jiangdong Sword Immortal before him was all alone, and his sword intent was even purer.

Perhaps when he walks out of the capital, he can really become a First-Rank Land Immortal.

If it weren't for the fact that a heartless swordsman draws the sword the fastest.

Li Rui finished the tea and then said lightly: "Old Brother Jiang, I estimate I have to leave the city for a period of time, at most ten days; please take care of the few people in my residence."

Jiang Jiang Linxian was somewhat surprised:

"Is it the Mountain-Seeking Division's business?"

"No."

Li Rui shook his head: "It's about time."

Jiang Jiang Linxian's eyes lit up.

"Celestial Phenomenon!"

He didn't say it out loud, and at the same time sighed in admiration at Li Rui's state of mind.

Breaking through is a major event; even he was prepared and prepared before breaking through, completely unlike the indifference of Li Rui before him.

If Li Rui hadn't taken the initiative to say it.

One wouldn't be able to see it at all, only thinking it was an ordinary visit.

"Good."

Jiang Jiang Linxian nodded.

Li Rui laughed heartily: "Sorry to trouble Old Brother Jiang."

After finishing the tea.

He stood up.

Jiang Jiang Linxian couldn't help but ask: "Old Brother Li, leaving the city now?"

Li Rui: "Everything that should be done has been done, so naturally I am leaving the city."

After speaking.

He drifted away.

Jiang Jiang Linxian looked at Li Rui's carefree back.

At this moment, compared to him, this sword immortal, Li Rui looked more like that transcendent old immortal.

Li Rui left the city.

The capital is worthy of being the most prosperous place in the Yu Kingdom.

Outside the city were vast plains, straight roads, and villages scattered like stars.

It was not as desolate as Qinghe.

Walking about ten li.

Only then did he take out the magic treasure small boat from his sleeve; in just a moment, he was already a thousand li away.

Not long after.

Li Rui came to a deep mountain.

He found an ancient tree at will, sat cross-legged on a large rock under the tree.

Day and night alternated, letting the wind and rain change.

Until one day.

The peach tree in the Immortal Court in his dantian grew another peach.

All things grow, heaven and earth open.

Enter Celestial Phenomenon.
