Chapter 522: Hero

"This luck is truly mysterious and incomparable."

In the mansion by the Jishui Pool.

Li Rui sat cross-legged, feeling the luck in his body carefully.

Presiding over the immortal ceremony this time, he was originally the person with the second-highest luck blessing after the Holy Emperor, perhaps because he broke the external evil of luck, the luck blessing he obtained was far more than he imagined.

Luck is a thing of ten thousand fortunes.

It is a divine object of the first class.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get even a trace, and he almost filled an entire dantian.

Generally speaking.

The higher the rank of the Yu Kingdom's officials, the more luck blessing they can obtain, but even so, like the terrifying amount of luck Li Rui has now, even the Ministers of the Six Ministries wouldn't dare to think about it.

At this time.

The Dao Embryo little person in the dantian is breathing luck.

With the changes between every breath.

Strands of luck are being transformed into Dao power.

Looking at the increasingly thick Dao power in the Immortal Court, Li Rui's eyes lit up.

"Truly useful!"

Correct.

These days, he had been trying to purify luck

Qi luck sounds mysterious.

But in reality, it is the energy of all spirits, or perhaps the Dao of all spirits.

Qi luck can be said to be the collection of thousands of Great Daos.

Yet, what Li Rui cultivates is the Immortal Dao, which is to merge the Great Dao of heaven and earth into his own Dao; if he could purify Qi luck, it would be a great supplement for him, even better than spirit stones.

After several months of practice.

He finally succeeded.

"Truly, this is fate."

Li Rui felt the power of the Great Dao within his body growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he felt incomparably refreshed in his heart.

Discovering this method was also a stroke of luck.

Where could ordinary people obtain so much Qi luck?

It was precisely because he presided over the Immortal Ceremony this time and possessed enough Qi luck that Li Rui was able to discover the clues and have enough Qi luck to conduct research.

With this means.

It is equivalent to possessing a continuous supply of Great Dao nourishment!

For a Heaven-Image Realm cultivator who is already in urgent need of comprehending the Great Dao, this temptation is too great.

Who told him to be the Peace Commissioner of the Yu Kingdom?

Yu Kingdom officials all have the blessing of national luck, which is infused into their bodies every day, having the effect of benefiting cultivation, it is just a matter of quantity.

Like some ninth-rank minor officials, the infused Qi luck is imperceptible and has almost no help for cultivation.

But once above the third rank.

The Qi luck increases significantly by several times.

With the blessing of Qi luck, those third-rank high officials can be helped by the gods whether they are practicing martial arts or immortal techniques.

And at Li Rui's position as Peace Commissioner.

The Qi luck is even more considerable.

Feeling Qi luck being infused into his body every moment, isn't that equivalent to a great supplement every day!

The corners of Li Rui's mouth rose slightly.

Presiding over the Immortal Ceremony this time, he gained too many benefits.

The feeling of becoming stronger every moment is truly fascinating.

He stood up.

After many days, he finally pushed open the door.

"Master, you have finally come out."

Yuan An happened to be in the courtyard, and seeing Li Rui, he said with a grin.

Li Rui: "Has anyone come to visit these days?"

"Yes."

"There were many, but I politely declined them all."

Li Rui looked at Yuan An with satisfaction: "Well done."

Back in the capital.

He pretended to have left behind a root of illness from external evil and needed to retreat for quiet recuperation, so he did not see anyone.

On one hand, he was wholeheartedly studying Qi luck.

On the other hand, he did not want to be too ostentatious.

He had truly stolen the limelight on Ding Mountain.

Now it is rumored in the capital that he is the number one person under the first rank in the Yu Kingdom's court.

Although he has a big backer like the Private Secretary, he is still more accustomed to acting low-key to avoid unnecessary trouble, so he found such an excuse to avoid those who cling to power.

In the end.

Corrupting the government and covering the sky with one hand.

These are not the paths he seeks.

He is just borrowing power.

Isn't the effect very good?

With the blessing of Qi luck, it is equivalent to sitting on a spirit mine; just by cultivating with peace of mind, one can naturally open up the Purple Mansion.

"By the way, Master, the Duke of Wei came to the capital yesterday. I heard he is staying by the side of Jishui Pond, less than a mile away from us."

Yuan An said suddenly.

"The Duke of Wei?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, I heard it is because the Duke of Wei wants to memorialize His Majesty to issue an edict to establish the next Duke of Wei; it seems to be a person named Qi Kuang."

"He also came to the capital together."

Yuan An told everything he knew in detail.

Li Rui nodded: "Good, I know."

As everyone knows, the lineage of the Duke of Wei is a remnant of the previous dynasty.

Their status was extremely high before.

But with the destruction of the Ghost Ming Sect and the Purple Gold Palace, they are no longer useful, and their status is declining day by day.

Li Rui knows even more.

In those years, the Duke of Wei's mansion had many secret dealings with the Ghost Ming Sect.

In fact, this is also human nature.

The reason why the Duke of Wei did this is the same principle as the generals at the border raising enemies.

No emperor likes a general with no battles to fight, and the same is true for the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The influence of the Su Xuan Kingdom on the current dynasty has almost been exhausted.

Naturally, there is no need for the Duke of Wei's mansion to exist.

"I heard the old Duke of Wei has extremely high seniority and has already lived for a full eight cycles; it is time for him to pass away."

Li Rui thought.

Once the old Duke of Wei dies, the successor to the title of Duke becomes the biggest problem.

This not only involves the internal struggle of the Qi clan but also requires the Holy Emperor to nod and issue an edict.

There are countless struggles hidden in the dark.

The Duke of Wei's mansion has never been heard of in the capital these years.

It is said that it is because of the fierce internal fighting.

Now there is finally a candidate.

But will the Holy Emperor still issue an edict?

No one knows.

The Imperial Palace.

In the Imperial Study.

Eunuch Zheng stood respectfully beside the Holy Emperor and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei has been waiting outside the Imperial Study for two hours; still not seeing him?"

The Holy Emperor spoke lightly: "No."

"Yes."

Having received the answer, Eunuch Zheng did not say anything more.

He just pushed open the door.

He walked to the Duke of Wei, who was leaning on a cane and was old to the extreme, and whispered: "Duke of Wei, His Majesty really has important matters to discuss with Lord Zhang; you should come back another day."

The old Duke of Wei looked calm and just nodded.

Then he really turned and left.

Without the slightest hesitation.

But Eunuch Zheng knew that this old man would appear again tomorrow.

Because such a scene had already appeared for a full seven days.

Every day, the old Duke of Wei waited in front of the door, waited for the Holy Emperor's response, and then left obediently, without interruption.

Eunuch Zheng watched the old Duke of Wei leave.

He sighed softly.

Thinking back then, how high-spirited this old Duke of Wei was; when it came to the end, he had to bow his head for his descendants.

A hero in his twilight years.

At this time.

In the Imperial Study.

In the room, Grand Secretary Zhang looked outside the house, said nothing, and just stood quietly.

Of course, he had nothing to discuss with the Holy Emperor.

It was just an excuse for the Holy Emperor to decline.

After a full quarter of an hour of silence, the Holy Emperor spoke leisurely: "Zhang Zilu, logically speaking, Qi Tang helped me back then, and I should give him some dignity, but his actions over the years really make me feel cold."

When his foundation was unstable, in order to survive that immortal disaster, he had sought the Duke of Wei.

This old Duke of Wei finally agreed to take action.

The Holy Emperor remembered this favor and had always been tolerant of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Otherwise, just the actions of the Duke of Wei's mansion colluding with the Qi clan, the Ghost Ming Sect, and even the Purple Gold Palace, with his temper, he would have been exterminated many times over.

But precisely because of this.

Once the favor is exhausted, it should be handled according to official business.

Zhang Zhang Zilu in the room had long spoken bluntly that there was no need for the Duke of Wei's mansion to exist.

So the Holy Emperor had already made a decision.

It should be the last generation of the Duke of Wei.
