Chapter 538: Good for Cooling

It is well known that there are three parties, and if two parties unite, and the strength of those two parties is not particularly weak, the outcome is already doomed.

Master Xuanwei and Daoist Zi Yang of the Qingwei Sect had already come to find Li Rui.

The attitude was very good.

In just the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the matter was settled.

The Yu Kingdom was willing to give up the spiritual mines of the Ten Thousand Mountains in exchange for the dragon vein.

The Qingwei Sect was an immortal sect that had left the world, and did not value qi luck; it could be considered each taking what they needed.

Of course.

If the Wu Kingdom had not expressed its position first, they would have wanted more.

The Earth Priest ceremony was cumbersome.

Although the Wu Kingdom ruler had not yet issued an edict, the position was already nailed down.

Why so certain?

Because sitting beside Li Rui were the Great Wu and Xia Xia Xiaotang.

"Last time when soaking feet, I felt that you brat had prospects, just like your master's master; back then, when I traveled to the Yu Kingdom, I fought with him, and at that time I won, but when I reached the First Rank, I couldn't even take three moves from him."

"Arriving first doesn't mean arriving."

"Walking far is the real ability."

"Your lineage is all about accumulating and breaking out, late bloomers; on this point, I, the old man, cannot compare to your lineage."

The Great Wu said while steam rose.

Under his feet was a bucket of warm, clear water.

Li Rui was the same.

Li Rui looked at the Great Wu, muttering in his heart; it seemed that the last time he met the Great Wu, the two were soaking their feet.

He listened to the Great Wu talk about the story of his master's master.

Thoughtful.

These things also had rumors in the martial arts world.

There had always been older martial arts people saying that his master's master, before he reached the First Rank, did not perform prominently, and it was only after reaching the First Rank that he became unstoppable.

Suppressing the entire martial arts world for hundreds of years alone.

The gap between First Rank and First Rank was truly vividly reflected in his master's master.

Why else would the martial arts world have a saying.

The City Lord of East Sea City is number one because there is only number one.

The second to the ninth combined cannot compare to one Gao Tianxia.

Regarding this.

Whether it was that Sword Emperor of West Shu, or the National Teacher, or the Great Wu, none had ever refuted it.

The Great Wu, the National Teacher, and his master's master were all of the same generation.

Now spoken from the Great Wu's mouth.

It could be considered confirmed.

Li Rui: "Senior, everyone's Dao is different, and Senior also has unique points, which my master's master cannot compare to."

Based on the principle that whoever is close is strong.

He complimented the Great Wu a few words without leaving a trace.

Today, the smile on the Great Wu's face was much more than usual, especially when saying that Gao Tianxia could not compare to him.

"Your master's master's martial arts are the number one in the world; if it weren't for being limited by this world, I am afraid he would have gone much further, definitely more than one Heavenly Human Realm."

"Of course, apart from martial arts, in the matter of witchcraft, I am still slightly better."

The Great Wu laughed *hehe*.

Li Rui: "The witchcraft of the Wu Kingdom is indeed wonderful and extraordinary."

Another compliment.

The Great Wu's smile grew more.

He looked at Li Rui with appreciation: "If you want to learn witchcraft, I can teach you; no need to take me as a master, just learn what Xia Xiaotang learns."

Li Rui was somewhat surprised.

The Great Wu's words did not seem fake.

The Great Wu's witchcraft was something countless cultivators in the Wu Kingdom dreamed of, even Heavenly Phenomenon realms could not ask for it.

And at this moment, the Great Wu was actually willing to give it away?

Li Rui did not answer, but pondered for a long time, only then opening his mouth: "Senior, the younger generation still understands the principle of not being greedy; I will not learn witchcraft."

These words could be said to be from the heart.

He naturally wanted to learn the Great Wu's witchcraft.

But thinking that he had to practice the Evergreen Longevity Technique and True Martial Cultivating Soldiers Technique every day, and besides that, there were two visualization maps, refining the small tower, and formation arts, talisman arts... it was already the limit.

Adding witchcraft would definitely be overflowing, and it would only be counterproductive.

The Great Wu could not help but laugh: "You brat, you are truly interesting; if you don't learn, then don't learn."

After saying this.

He stood up and put on his shoes.

He said to Li Rui: "By the way, if you go to East Sea City, remember to say hello to your master's master for me."

"Senior, this matter is on me."

"This matter is somewhat tricky."

Outside the Qinghe Enclosure.

Several figures lurked in the low bushes, peeking like tigers and leopards.

These few people were naturally the Seven Evils.

Originally, they were prepared to observe Li Rui's action by borrowing the conflict between the Yu Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom, and the Qingwei Sect, and determine Li Rui's strength before taking action.

But what they did not expect was.

They actually stopped fighting.

The Yu Kingdom did not even have a single person injured or killed because of the conflict, and the matter was already settled.

This made them somewhat caught off guard.

Not only that.

Li Rui even became a Wu Kingdom official because of this, and his reputation went up another level.

Although they were disdainful of empty things like reputation, there was no doubt that once they took action, apart from fleeing to the deepest part of the East Sea to avoid disaster, waiting until the immortal gate of this small grotto-heaven opened, there was no other way.

It was not that they could not do it.

It was just that the cost became higher.

Because it was expensive, they hesitated.

They had not taken action all along, which was the reason.

Xie Qi: "What should we do now?"

As soon as the words fell.

He heard Xie Yi say decisively: "Need more money."

"This dragon vein is dyed with evil; it is truly dangerous; I heard that several more dragon-seekers died in the valley."

Nie Nie Siming said.

But no matter how you looked at it, there was a bit of schadenfreude.

Yuan Xiong's expression was solemn: "The National Teacher took action personally, but the dragon vein of the Ten Thousand Mountains is a great dragon that is hard to encounter in ten thousand years; the more prosperous the dragon vein, the more powerful the demons produced; even the National Teacher must deal with it carefully; this time determining the dragon vein is probably not that simple."

Li Rui listened.

What the two said, he had also heard of.

The dragon vein of the Ten Thousand Mountains was even more terrifying than the Yu Kingdom court had expected.

Once the vein is determined, it is a dragon vein that can surpass Taiheng Mountain.

It has a great increase in national fortune.

The court is increasingly attaching importance to this matter.

Even Yuan Yuan Dingting has been allowed to regain military power; as long as an accident occurs in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the army will appear in front of the Ten Thousand Mountains within an hour.

*'Could it be that this dragon vein turning evil is related to the immortal tomb in Wu De's mouth?'*

Li Rui thought in his heart.

However, these things had nothing to do with him.

Ever since that day, the National Teacher really did not let him intervene in the matter of determining the dragon vein.

Li Rui was also happy to be free.

He practiced in the Qinghe Enclosure all day, and even the formation arts had signs of breakthrough.

Even if he reached the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

That was also one point of plowing and one point of harvest.

It is called heaven rewards diligence.

Being entangled in worldly affairs will delay cultivation.

Of course.

Li Rui could be so indifferent for another reason.

That was that there was his "spy" in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

He turned his head to look toward the Ten Thousand Mountains.

As if he could see a slightly chubby figure climbing over mountains and ridges, searching for dragon veins and acupuncture points.

At the other end.

Inside the Imperial City.

"A bunch of bastards!"

The Fifth Prince Zhu Gan fiercely smashed his teacup; with an angry slam, a large pit was smashed into the blue bricks of the floor, and the teacup turned directly into powder.

Zhou Tong and Ben Shi just stood there quietly.

Just yesterday.

News came from Qinghe that the Seven Evils had not made a move, and they even threatened to demand more money.

The so-called demanding more money.

Naturally, they wanted more fortune.

Otherwise, they would withdraw, and the previous transaction would be wiped clean.

Zhu Gan was naturally furious.

The key is that the Seven Evils are not his people, but demonic cultivators he hired, who are uncontrollable; he could go and beg his uncle-in-law, but Zhu Gan also knows that every time the State Preceptor makes a move, it must be repaid after he ascends the throne in the future.

If he still had to beg the State Preceptor for such a small matter, it would make people look down on him.

A flash of determination crossed Zhu Gan's eyes, and he gritted his teeth:

"Then add it!"

"Tell them they must kill Li Rui within three days."
