Chapter 493

"Sect Master Nie?"

Li Rui turned his head and saw a person riding a blade, quickly catching up to the magic treasure boat.

Nie Han was very polite: "Lord Li, I have some things I want to discuss with you privately."

Li Rui pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Good."

A moment later.

Li Rui's group and Nie Han landed on a Gobi desert in the northwest of the Yu Kingdom.

Nie Han pulled Li Rui to a distance.

"Sect Master Nie, is there something?"

Nie Han was a sect master, and he was the first to dare to go up and challenge the Jin Gang Indestructible just now.

Li Rui's impression of him was quite good.

He was a man with guts.

Precisely because of this, Li Rui agreed to speak a few words with him.

"Lord Li, that external skill of yours just now, did you learn it from Marquis Yuan?"

As he spoke, Nie Han's eyes were already shining.

He was clearly in the appearance of a martial arts fanatic.

Li Rui was stunned.

Then he thought.

This Nie Han seemed to be one of the few martial artists in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm who hadn't completely abandoned external skills; this point, although not as pure as He Qiannian's, was also extremely rare.

Thinking of this.

He suddenly realized.

So Nie Han had seen his move of breaking the Jin Gang Indestructible just now and realized it relied on overbearing external skills, which was why he chased after him.

A martial arts fanatic encountering a martial art he admired would naturally be itching to find a result.

Without thinking much, Li Rui nodded: "It was indeed taught by the Marquis."

His external skill ability naturally originated from the True Martial Soldier-Nurturing Art.

But he couldn't tell outsiders.

Since that was the case, it was better to give this reputation to Marquis Yuan.

Anyway, Marquis Yuan could handle it, and as Li Rui's status as the Crown Prince's teacher, there wouldn't be any problems.

Upon hearing this.

Nie Han was even happier: "As expected of the Military Saint; Lord Li's move was truly powerful; I admire you."

If comparing combat power, he felt he was not weaker than Li Rui.

But when it came to external skills, he conceded defeat to Li Rui's move of piercing the Jin Gang Indestructible by attacking a point.

Others only felt it was strong.

But as an expert in external skills, he could see more.

Nie Han took a deep breath and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Li, for telling me."

After speaking.

He left on his blade in a swift and decisive manner, quite in the style of a Jianghu person.

Li Rui watched Nie Han's figure, smiled slightly, and said to Nie Siming beside him: "Little brother Nie, you say I found a master for the Marquis; shouldn't I receive a reward?"

Nie Siming grinned: "We are all family; why talk about rewards."

Li Rui: "Little brother Nie, you didn't say that before."

Nie Siming just smiled and didn't speak.

Before?

Before, Li Rui was only in the Primordial Realm, Tongxuan, so he could naturally afford to reward; but now Li Rui was Heavenly Phenomenon, and he really couldn't be rewarded casually.

As an adopted son, he naturally had to think about saving where he could.

Li Rui laughed out loud.

Receiving a reward was naturally a joke; with his relationship with the Marquis's Prefecture, as long as this relationship existed, it was better than too many rewards.

If there were no surprises.

This Jiangnan hero would probably appear in Yunzhou before long.

As for what happened afterward, that was not something he needed to worry about.

While Li Rui was thinking.

Lines of small text appeared before his eyes.

Visualization Diagram!

Li Rui looked at the words "Vast Sea Green Lotus Visualization Diagram" on the panel before him, feeling slightly excited in his heart.

Finally obtained a visualization diagram.

This diagram was the visualization diagram of the Qingxuan Great Dao.

Looking at the "killed an immortal sect elder" on the panel and associating it with what he learned from Daoist Xuan Yu's memory, Li Rui couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

Could that immortal sect be called the North Pole Immortal Sect...

To say that this reward had nothing to do with the news obtained from Daoist Xuan Yu before.

Li Rui himself didn't believe it.

Having obtained the Vast Sea Green Lotus Visualization Diagram, his progress in comprehending the Dao could be much faster.

As for the Immortal Dao Visualization Diagram...

I'm afraid the requirements are extremely high; even the system wouldn't give it away easily, and it still awaits an opportunity.

Being able to obtain the Vast Sea Green Lotus Visualization Diagram was already beyond expectations.

How could he not be happy.

"Old Brother Li?"

Nie Siming beside him looked at Li Rui and called out.

Having obtained the Vast Sea Green Lotus Visualization Diagram, Li Rui felt refreshed throughout his body and responded: "Alright, let's return to the capital early to report."

After speaking.

He unleashed the small boat again.

Two hours later.

The group returned to the capital.

Master Linglun did not return to the capital with them but returned to the Wan Fadian on his own.

This time, the Wan Fadian had exerted great effort.

Li Rui naturally wouldn't forcibly bring Master Linglun back to the capital.

Once in the capital.

He went straight to the Xun Shan Si.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or if Zhang Shoufu had already received the news.

When Li Rui arrived at the Xun Shan Si.

Zhang Shoufu happened to be in the office.

One must know, although Zhang Shoufu was the Chief of the Xun Shan Si, Zhang Shoufu was the head of the civil officials, and what he governed was not just one Xun Shan Si, but also the Six Ministries and Three Offices.

So most of the time, it was actually Li Rui going to the Cabinet to report.

Zhang Shoufu rarely came to the Xun Shan Si.

Upon meeting, Li Rui knew it wasn't a coincidence; this Zhang Shoufu clearly had received the news long ago.

Zhang Shoufu looked at Li Rui with a rare smile: "Lord Li, the matter in the Western Desert was handled extremely well; I believe His Majesty will be very happy."

Li Rui didn't take credit and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This matter was planned by Lord Zhang; I was just the one doing the work."

At the same time.

He was secretly shocked by the intelligence-gathering ability of the Zhang Shoufu before him.

Today, Zhang Shoufu seemed to be in a very good mood: "No need to be modest; human effort is the decisive factor; if it weren't for you, it wouldn't be simple to get it done. I will naturally report the credit you deserve to His Majesty, so rest assured."

Afterward.

Zhang Shoufu chatted with Li Rui for a while, which was rare.

Such a situation was extremely rare.

Who in the world doesn't know that this Zhang Shoufu is extremely busy.

He is really very busy.

Zhang Shoufu said leisurely: "Guarding a family is not easy, guarding a country is even harder. When I was in the Ministry of Revenue, everyone said I was 'Zhang the Abacus,' calculating every single copper coin."

"There's no other way; no matter how big the family is, if you don't calculate well, you'll eat it all up."

"This luck is much more expensive than copper coins; snatching a little bit over is like the New Year, and one can be happy for a long time."

Li Rui: "His Majesty once said, 'A family that accumulates goodness will surely have surplus blessings.'"

"That's right, that's the principle."

"Actually, I was the one who said that sentence to His Majesty back then."

Zhang Shoufu was in an even better mood, and there were more smiles on his face.

Li Rui was speechless.

He didn't expect that the source of his own "Southern Land's First Goodness" could be traced back to the Zhang Shoufu before him.

After finishing.

Zhang Shoufu then slowly stood up: "Alright, I still have things to do; let's leave some words for later."

Then he got up and left.

He stayed for less than half an hour, but it was already the longest time he had ever stayed in the Xun Shan Si.

It was because Li Rui brought back luck, which made Zhang Shoufu very happy.

This person who was best at mending in the world used luck as the needle and thread in his hands.

A tailor who got a roll of good thread and a good needle would naturally be happy.

It was probably the same principle as seeing good feed back then.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

A clever housewife cannot cook without rice.

Don't look at the Great Yu as if it has a big family and a big business; in fact, it is shorter on money than imagined. If it weren't for this Lord Zhang having the ability to conjure money out of thin air, it would probably have been stretched thin long ago.

Where would there be the glory of today.

"It is said to be related to Lord Zhang's Great Dao; I don't know if it's true."

Li Rui thought in his heart.

Then the formula of the Vast Sea Green Lotus Visualization Diagram appeared in his mind.

"In the abyss of the vast sea, there is a lotus named Green, born in the Great Void, growing in the Mysterious Abyss. Breathing the tides, inhaling wind and thunder, roots connected to the Nine Netherworlds, leaves touching the starlight."
