Chapter 473

"Merging with heaven and earth is the Dao Body, so that heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me."

Li Rui broke through.

The artifact spirit, the little old man, was very talkative.

He said things he hadn't said before.

Before, even if Li Rui asked, the artifact spirit, the little old man, never spoke of the Dao Body Realm.

Now he took the initiative to speak.

"Little Li, it's not that I didn't tell you, but that the realm hasn't been reached; knowing it isn't necessarily a good thing; this is the principle the Dao Lord taught me back then."

"Since you have already entered the Purple Mansion, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"If you want to enter the Dao Body Realm, the key lies in the two words 'merging with the Dao'."

"You have just entered the Purple Mansion, your foundation is not stable; you should nourish the Spirit Embryo more, comprehend the Great Dao, so that you can cross that step sooner."

"It's just a pity that your Dao is different from the Dao Lord's; I don't have the visualization method for the Qingxuan Dao, so you have to think of a way yourself."

Looking at Li Rui's appearance.

The artifact spirit, the little old man, was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Wait, don't tell me you don't know what a visualization method is?"

Li Rui nodded.

The artifact spirit, the little old man, was puzzled: "Your elders at home didn't tell you?"

"Senior, I come from a Small Grotto-Heaven."

Hearing the three words "Small Grotto-Heaven."

The artifact spirit, the little old man, then showed realization.

"No wonder..."

"I was wondering when the Immortal Cultivation Realm produced a fool like you, insisting on practicing the Great Innate."

"So it's a cultivator who walked out of a Small Grotto-Heaven; you don't need to feel inferior either; as far as I know, quite a few Immortal Lords have walked out of Small Grotto-Heavens, and my True Person also came from a Small Grotto-Heaven."

"It's truly fate."

Li Rui showed a look of astonishment: "So the True Person also came from a Small Grotto-Heaven."

Although.

He had known this matter long ago.

Taking the initiative to speak out today was something he had planned for a long time.

The artifact spirit, the little old man, lectured day after day, and naturally, it was inevitable that he would mention the Master Wanshou Dao Lord.

Li Rui also inferred from the fragments of words that the Master Wanshou Dao Lord also came from a Small Grotto-Heaven and only achieved the position of Dao Lord after going to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

He knew from Wu De's mouth.

Although the inheritance of the Small Grotto-Heaven is withered, it often produces a few incredible heaven-gifted prodigies.

Quite a few great powers have walked out of Small Grotto-Heavens in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

This is also the reason why those immortal sects in the Immortal Cultivation Realm want to spend great effort to set up great arrays.

They want spirit mines, but they want the cultivation talents of the Small Grotto-Heaven even more.

According to what Li Rui knows, quite a few immortal sects in the Immortal Cultivation Realm rose because of the geniuses who walked out of Small Grotto-Heavens.

Since the Master Wanshou Dao Lord himself came from a Small Grotto-Heaven, it can be considered half a fellow villager.

Although he doesn't expect special treatment, at least the artifact spirit, the little old man, won't harbor ill intentions because of this.

And Li Rui knows.

With the artifact spirit, the little old man's discernment, he won't be able to hide it for long.

Rather than waiting for the other party to discover it, it's better to take the initiative to speak out.

Only then did a hearty laugh from the artifact spirit, the little old man, come from the room: "I should have seen it long ago; you are a person from a Small Grotto-Heaven, good, very good!"

When Li Rui clarified his identity.

The artifact spirit, the little old man, guided him even more vigorously.

Although it was impossible to get the visualization methods for the Qingxuan Great Dao and the Immortal Dao, he still thought of quite a few ways for Li Rui.

Of course.

They must all be realized in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Li Rui wasn't even sure if the immortal sects in the artifact spirit, the little old man's mouth, still existed.

The matter of visualization diagrams can only be done slowly.

Being anxious won't help.

"Old Li, the talismans in the Talisman Room are almost all taken; if we keep distributing them like this, it will be empty."

Li Rui had just returned to the Mountain-Seeking Division.

The person in charge of the Talisman Room ran over to complain.

As for why the Array Room didn't come together, it was because they had already come last month.

He, this Mountain-Suppressing Envoy, is leisurely, but the people under his hand are not.

Knights use martial arts to violate the prohibition.

The harm of immortal cultivators is even worse.

Relying solely on these few hundred people in the Mountain-Seeking Division, it is naturally impossible to completely suppress the immortal cultivators who are causing trouble in the world.

Li Rui had a saying in his previous life: if you are rich, use firepower coverage.

The Great Yu court has money, so often when going out to execute missions, those people in the Mountain-Seeking Division throw talismans and array flags as if they don't cost money.

The effect is very good.

They smashed to death I don't know how many immortal cultivators who committed crimes and handled several beautiful major cases.

For this, the Holy Emperor personally came to the Mountain-Seeking Division to express his condolences.

The front line is fighting happily, but the four rooms in the back suffer.

Working ten hours a day is a common occurrence.

Although they are all cultivators and their energy can keep up, it delays their cultivation.

One by one, they naturally harbor grievances.

The Talisman Room person in charge is surnamed Wei, called Wei Ke, and is called Old Wei in the backyard; he is a Fourth-Rank talisman master, looking at Li Rui with eyes full of expectation.

"Old Li..."

But he heard Li Rui speak unquestioningly: "Old Wei, if anyone feels tired, they can go back; no need to tell me, just leave directly."

Wei Ke heard this.

Immediately, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Rui then spoke: "I have already asked Grand Secretary Zhang for instructions; the salary will be increased by thirty percent; you go down and tell the brothers."

Originally, Wei Ke had a look of frustration.

But hearing the salary increase by thirty percent, he immediately became full of energy again.

"Alright, Old Li, I'll go say it right now."

"If those little cubs dare to complain, I'll tell them to roll up their bedding and get out!"

After speaking.

He rubbed his hands and walked out of Li Rui's office room with a grin.

Li Rui smiled slightly.

He continued to flip through the ancient books in his hand.

Nowadays, the talismans produced by the Talisman Room and Array Room, those below the Third-Rank are all produced by the talisman masters and array masters under his hand, and the demand is the greatest, so the situation of rushing to work appeared.

Those above the Third-Rank are personally produced by Li Rui.

Generally speaking, the Mountain-Seeking Division is much more cautious when taking action against cultivators of the Upper Three Ranks.

In the year since its establishment, there have only been two cases.

Coupled with the fact that Li Rui's talisman and array attainments were already extremely high, he was leisurely.

Those young juniors are tired, but they cannot refuse the other Mountain-Suppressing Envoys just because they are tired, and they cannot go to Grand Secretary Zhang to complain.

Back in the day, when the Great Yu was fighting the Northern Plains barbarians, didn't Grand Secretary Zhang also rack his brains to find silver?

Because there is no money, surrender?

How absurd.

It is the same situation in the Mountain-Seeking Division.

Grand Secretary Zhang dug Li Rui here just to settle this matter.

If he can settle it, Li Rui is his right-hand man; if he can't, then Li Rui will probably have to stay here for a lifetime.

Li Rui is not a novice in officialdom.

He knows clearly.

Now the Holy Emperor is about to do something big; if he tells the Holy Emperor that the food and grass are insufficient, the Holy Emperor would already be benevolent if he didn't drag people out and behead them.

So at this time, he can only resist hard.

If he survives, he will be promoted and get rich; if he can't, he will return to the fields to retire.

People in the world only see the benefits of high officials, but they don't understand the dangers involved.

The salary Li Rui just mentioned is naturally not paid by Grand Secretary Zhang, but out of his own pocket.

The court turns a blind eye to officials running private businesses, but it's not waiting for this time to use it.

If he still dares to hide it, that is the way to death.

Li Rui's Spring Breeze Hall is almost about to open in the capital, and it has become the fourth largest chamber of commerce in the Yu Kingdom.

He still has this bit of money.

And, after spending this money, the business of Spring Breeze Hall can be done more smoothly in the future.

This account is not difficult to calculate.

Do you really think Spring Breeze Hall is smooth everywhere because of the ability of the two little fellows Liu Tong and Lin Wan?

No.

It is the face of Spring Breeze Hall.

It is Li Rui's face.

Or rather, it is the Holy Emperor's tacit approval.

Do you really think the Holy Emperor has only met Li Rui twice, and the reason for the repeated favors is because of Gu Gu Changsheng?

That is just the appearance.

That is because Li Rui has sent more than ten million silver to the Imperial Palace through Jiang Jiang Linxian.

The larger the business of Spring Breeze Hall, the profit has not skyrocketed.

Why?

It is because it was sent to the Imperial Palace.

Just say it like this.

The exotic flowers in the Imperial Garden have Li Rui's contribution.

Of course, it's not that everyone sends it, and the Holy Emperor will accept it.

To put it plainly, it depends on the person and what the person does.

The learning involved is not small.

Days passed like this.

Li Rui's status in the Mountain-Seeking Division became more and more stable, and once during the early court, the Holy Emperor praised Li Rui for being capable in front of all the civil and military officials.

The reputation of Li Rui being a capable official gradually spread in the capital.

Li Rui just smiled at this.

Compared to empty fame.

He was still more concerned about the progress of his cultivation.

He must not slack off because he entered the Celestial Phenomenon, otherwise he would truly be wasting a good bone structure.

This day.

He finished work from the Mountain-Seeking Division and didn't go home, but went all the way to Jiang Jiang Linxian's residence.

As soon as he entered the door.

He actually saw a stunningly beautiful young woman standing in the courtyard.

Li Rui smiled:

"Miss Jiang, long time no see."
