Chapter 503: Heart has a fierce tiger, sniffing the rose (Please vote!)
This day.
Daoist Dingchen came to the small courtyard where Li Rui and his group were staying.
Li Rui was teaching Yuan An boxing techniques.
He saw Daoist Dingchen perform a Daoist salute with extreme etiquette before speaking: "Lord Li, the Master has left seclusion; he wishes to meet with you."
Dingchen's master, naturally, was the Island Master of this immortal island.
True Person Fufeng.
Yuan An's eyes brightened.
They had waited for almost two months, finally waiting for True Person Fufeng to leave seclusion.
Heavenly Phenomenon realm cultivators in seclusion could not leave the door for three to five years, not to mention the First Rank, where ten or eight years were common.
'Luck is not bad.'
Yuan An thought.
He heard his master Li Rui speak: "Then I will trouble Daoist friend Dingchen to lead the way."
"It is my duty."
Daoist Dingchen led Li Rui toward a courtyard in the very center of the island.
There was no majestic palace.
The small courtyard where True Person Fufeng lived was no different from an ordinary Daoist temple.
Regarding this.
Li Rui was no longer too surprised.
After becoming the Peace-Establishing Commandant, he could obtain more and more information about the Immortal Sects, and although the Immortal Sects were mostly Daoist, the style differences of each Immortal Sect were also extremely large.
Some buildings were majestic and atmospheric, making people feel awe when looking at them, just like the Northern Polar Immortal Sect.
Others advocated harmony and dust, and it was possible that a First-Rank old god lived in a thatched cottage.
Fufeng Island belonged to the latter.
It was just not as exaggerated as a thatched cottage, but this small courtyard before him was really not majestic.
Li Rui was led by Daoist Dingchen into the small courtyard.
And then he saw an old man farming in the courtyard, looking like an old farmer.
Who could have thought.
This person was actually at the realm of a land immortal.
'Returning to simplicity, harmony and dust?'
Li Rui thought in his heart.
He did not have the slightest negligence, and bowed respectfully to the old farmer: "Great Yu Peace-Establishing Commandant, greetings to True Person Fufeng."
The old farmer put down the hoe in his hand, held his waist, stood up, and looked at Li Rui.
He first waved his hand toward Daoist Dingchen on the side.
Dingchen sensibly pushed away, and also closed the door.
Soon.
Only Li Rui and True Person Fufeng were left in the courtyard.
True Person Fufeng didn't speak, just started to use the hoe to dig up the last bit of unplowed soil, his movements extremely skilled.
Li Rui was once a horseman.
Sometimes he would also do some farming.
'If this were in the countryside of Qinghe, it would definitely be a good hand.'
He praised in his heart.
If this thought were known by people outside, it would definitely drop their jaws.
First Rank... farming?
What a fresh word!
Once at the First Rank, everything one does will be successful.
Li Rui watched quietly on the side.
But the more he watched, the more he couldn't move his eyes away.
'Worthy of being a Great True Person at the realm of a land immortal!'
True Person Fufeng's movements seemed simple and unadorned, but in Li Rui's eyes, every move actually conformed to the Great Dao's heavenly will; if those seekers of the Dao saw it, they would definitely be fascinated.
Li Rui watched with great interest.
If he weren't a disciple of Fufeng Island, he would have thought True Person Fufeng was preaching.
The two, one watching, one hoeing.
Complementing each other.
A full half-hour passed.
Half an acre of land was completely loosened, the soil distributed evenly, having a very unique beauty.
True Person Fufeng then put the hoe aside and looked at Li Rui: "How much did you understand?"
Li Rui was not surprised, saying faintly: "One percent... two percent."
"Two percent."
True Person Fufeng repeated it, showing a satisfied smile: "Worthy of being Great Yu's Peace-Establishing Commandant, the comprehension is truly amazing; there are not many people on this island who can learn my skill of hoeing."
"Thank you, Senior, for preaching; the junior has hoed the land in his early years, so he learned it quickly."
Li Rui bowed.
If he hadn't seen that True Person Fufeng was deliberately preaching, his comprehension would be too low.
Just entering the door, he got no small opportunity.
Whether it was a test or a gift, he got the benefit, so he should thank him.
Li Rui hadn't stood up yet.
True Person Fufeng spoke coldly: "People from the Western Desert have just left."
Li Rui narrowed his eyes.
People from the Western Desert, naturally referring to the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom.
Looking at the world, Great Yu's opponents were nothing more than these few, and apart from allies, only the Northern Polar Immortal Sect and the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom remained.
'Indeed straightforward.'
Li Rui smiled lightly.
True Person Fufeng continued: "These days, I was not in seclusion; people from the Northern Plains and the Western Desert have both been here."
If it were anyone else, they would definitely secretly break into a cold sweat in their heart.
But Li Rui's smile grew more: "Senior will definitely be glad of his choice in the future."
This time, it was True Person Fufeng's turn to laugh heartily; he pointed at Li Rui from afar: "You kid are an interesting person, no wonder Gu Changsheng and Zhang Zilu sent you."
Li Rui grinned.
True Person Fufeng had seen people from the Northern Polar Immortal Sect, and had seen people from the Western Desert.
Now he was still willing to see him.
The result was self-evident.
If True Person Fufeng decided to defect to those two sects, now it should be a clash of arms.
Since he was willing to see him, what was there to panic about?
True Person Fufeng looked at Li Rui appreciatively: "Fufeng Island can be on good terms with Great Yu, but Fufeng Island's affairs, apart from you, other Great Yu officials cannot interfere."
During these days.
He had actually been paying attention to Li Rui, this Peace-Establishing Commandant.
It was very much to his taste.
Li Rui: "I can count for what I say; Senior, rest assured, as long as I am still the Peace-Establishing Commandant for one day, it will not change."
"Very good."
True Person Fufeng nodded.
After speaking, True Person Fufeng waved his hand, and Li Rui walked out of the courtyard obediently.
A major event was settled in just a few words.
But was the matter really this simple?
Of course not.
It was just that the effort was all in places that couldn't be seen; that kind of drama of debating with scholars and finally making people convinced could never happen in reality.
True Person Fufeng, a land immortal, wouldn't care about what was said, but more about what there was.
Did one really think Tan Yu and Yu Ziyi, two people from Bai Yujing, following Li Rui to the East Sea, was completely accidental?
It was Gu Changsheng and Li Rui doing it on purpose.
Gu Changsheng didn't say.
But he brought people to Li Rui at that time, actually saying everything.
Apart from this.
Li Rui had actually never been idle.
To be precise, he was idle, but Nie Siming and He Qiannian were not.
The two rarely stayed on the immortal island, leaving early and returning late.
Actually, they were squatting.
Li Rui had long known the news that the Buddhist Kingdom and the Northern Polar Immortal Sect had been to Fufeng Island, and had already sent the news to the imperial court.
So during these two months, Marquis Dingyuan made a trip to Jiangnan.
A few demonic cultivators were missing.
These were the real reasons why True Person Fufeng made his choice.
He was just a lead-in.
Of course, to say he was completely borrowing the tiger's power was also wrong; now his status was called Imperial Envoy, but it should be called Envoy.
Since ancient times, being an envoy was not easy.
What was needed was boldness, carefulness, and calmness in the face of change.
Even if the backing was strong, one had to try every means to show the backing's strength.
As for the final result.
That was not something he, an envoy, could decide.
With such an example as Fufeng Island, going to other sects should be much smoother.
In fact, this was also Li Rui's deliberate doing.
He chatted with Tan Yu all the way, not wasting time; from Tan Yu's mouth, he learned the roots of those seven sects in the Immortal Cultivation World.
This Fufeng Island's Island Master was a loose cultivator.
So this became his first target.
Although even so, it only increased the probability, and could not have absolute certainty.
Fortunately, his luck was not bad.
Everything went very smoothly.
Li Rui returned to the small courtyard in the Fufeng Sect.
At this time.
It was the most complete time in these two months; Nie Siming and He Qiannian had already received the news and returned from outside.
Nie Siming: "Done?"
"Done."
Seeing Li Rui nod, Nie Siming couldn't help but laugh.
The sea breeze of these two months was not blown in vain.
Although Fufeng Island's matter was done, Li Rui still didn't rush to leave.
He planned to wait for the two from Bai Yujing to return before inviting them to set off together.
Bai Yujing's signboard was indeed easy to use.
If it weren't for Tan Yu and Yu Ziyi, this trip wouldn't have been so smooth.
The group waited for five days.
Finally, they waited for the two.
It was just that what surprised Li Rui was that Tan Yu and Yu Ziyi's aura was withered, their faces wretched, clearly having encountered a fierce battle and fled back to Fufeng Island.
Tan Yu looked at Li Rui, a bitter taste appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"My junior sister and I encountered an interception by people from the Wan Fadian."
