Chapter 473

"Harmonizing 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.

Said words he hadn't said before.

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

Now he took the initiative to speak.

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

"You have now entered the Purple Mansion, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"Wanting to enter that Dao Body realm, the key lies in the two words 'integrating the Dao'."

"You have just entered the Purple Mansion, the foundation is not stable; you should nourish the Spirit Fetus more, perceive the Great Dao, so that you can cross that step early."

"It's just a pity, your Dao is different from the Daoist Lord's; I don't have the visualization method of that Qingxuan Dao; you can only find a way yourself."

Looking at Li Rui's appearance.

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

Li Rui nodded.

The artifact spirit, the little old man, couldn't help but be puzzled: "Didn't your elders at home tell you?"

"Senior, I come from a Small Cave Heaven."

Hearing the three words "Small Cave Heaven."

A flash of realization appeared in the eyes of the artifact spirit, the little old man.

"No wonder..."

"I was just saying, when did the immortal cultivation world produce a fool like you, insisting on practicing the Great Innate."

"So it's a cultivator who walked out of a Small Cave Heaven; you don't need to be inferior; as far as I know, quite a few Immortal Lords have walked out of Small Cave Heavens, and my Fufeng Zhenjun also came from a Small Cave Heaven."

"It's truly fate."

Li Rui showed a surprised expression: "So the Fufeng Zhenjun is also a person from a Small Cave Heaven."

Although.

He had known this matter long ago.

Today, taking the initiative to speak out 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 Daoist Lord Wanshou.

Li Rui also inferred from the fragments of words that Daoist Lord Wanshou was also from a Small Cave Heaven, and only after going to the immortal cultivation world did he achieve the position of Daoist Lord.

He knew from Wu De's mouth.

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

The immortal cultivation world has produced quite a few great powers who walked out of Small Cave Heavens.

This is also the reason why those immortal sects in the immortal cultivation world have to spend immense effort to set up great arrays.

They want spirit mines, but they want immortal cultivation talents from Small Cave Heavens even more.

As far as Li Rui knows, several immortal sects in the immortal cultivation world rose precisely because of geniuses who walked out of Small Cave Heavens.

Since Daoist Lord Wanshou himself is from a Small Cave Heaven, it counts as half a fellow villager.

Although he doesn't expect special treatment, at least the artifact spirit, the little old man, won't have a different heart because of this.

And Li Rui knew.

With the artifact spirit, the little old man's discernment, he couldn't hide it for too long.

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

Only hearing hearty laughter from the artifact spirit, the little old man, in the room: "I should have seen it long ago; you are a person from a Small Cave Heaven; good, very good!"

When Li Rui clarified his identity.

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

Although the visualization methods for the Qingxuan Great Dao and the Immortal Dao couldn't be obtained, he still thought of quite a few ways for Li Rui.

Of course.

They all require going to the immortal cultivation world to be possible.

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

The matter of visualization diagrams can only be done slowly.

Can't be rushed.

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

Li Rui 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.

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

Heroes 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 cause chaos 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 perform tasks, 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 ones fighting at the front were happy, but the four rooms at the back suffered.

Working ten hours a day was a common occurrence.

Although they were all cultivators and their energy could keep up, it delayed their practice.

Naturally, one by one, they had complaints.

The person in charge of the Talisman Room was surnamed Wei, called Wei Ke; everyone in the backyard called him Old Wei; he was a fourth-rank talisman master, looking at Li Rui with eager eyes.

"Li Lao..."

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

Wei Ke heard this.

Immediately didn't dare to say anything more.

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

Originally, Wei Ke was depressed.

But hearing the salary increased by thirty percent, he was immediately full of energy.

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

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

After speaking.

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

Li Rui smiled slightly.

Continued to open the ancient book in his hand.

Now, the talismans produced by the Talisman Room and Array Room, those below the third rank, were all produced by the talisman masters and array masters under his hand, and the demand was the greatest, which was why the current situation of rushing shifts appeared.

Those above the third rank were personally made by Li Rui.

Generally speaking, the Mountain-Seeking Division would be much more cautious when taking action against cultivators of the top three ranks.

Since its establishment for a year, there had only been two cases.

Plus Li Rui's talisman and array attainments were already extremely high, so he was leisurely.

Those young juniors were tired, but they couldn't really refuse the other Mountain-Suppressing Envoys just because they were tired, and they couldn't go to Grand Secretary Zhang to complain.

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

Surrender because there is no money?

How absurd.

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

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

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

Li Rui is not a novice in the officialdom.

He knows the score.

Now the Holy Emperor is about to do a big job; if he tells the Holy Emperor that the provisions 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 resists, he will be promoted and get rich; if he can't, he will retire to the fields.

People in the world only see the benefits of being a hall official, not understanding the dangers within.

The salary Li Rui just mentioned, of course, wasn't given by Grand Secretary Zhang, but had to be paid 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 Chunfeng Hall was almost about to open in the capital, becoming the fourth largest chamber of commerce in the Yu Kingdom.

He still had this bit of money.

And, after paying this money, the business of Chunfeng Hall could be done more smoothly in the future.

This account is not hard to calculate.

Do you really think Chunfeng Hall is smooth sailing everywhere because of the ability of Liu Tong and Lin Wan, the two little guys?

No.

It's the face of Chunfeng Hall.

It's Li Rui's face.

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

Do you really think the Holy Emperor only met Li Rui twice, but repeatedly bestowed grace because of Gu Changsheng?

That's just the appearance.

That's because the silver Li Rui sent to the Holy Emperor through Jiang Linxian was more than ten million.

The bigger the Chunfeng Hall business, the profit didn't skyrocket.

Why?

Because it was sent to the imperial palace.

Just say it like this.

The exotic flowers in the Imperial Garden all 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 within is not small.

Days passed day by day like this.

Li Rui's status in the Mountain-Seeking Division became more and more stable, and even once when attending the morning 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 also 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 couldn't be lazy just because he entered the Heavenly Phenomenon, otherwise, he would truly waste 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 Linxian's residence.

As soon as he entered the door.

He actually saw a pretty and stunning woman standing in the courtyard.

Li Rui smiled:

"Miss Jiang, long time no see."
