Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 668: If You Can’t Beat Them, Then Join Them
"Fortunately, I was taken in by the True Lord Jianhe and was enlightened after my reincarnation. Now I am Cui He of Baiyujing, and I cultivate the Path of Following the Dragon."

Cui He said with a grin.

Li Rui's lips twitched.

It has to be the people in the cultivation world who know how to have fun.

He was aware that Huang Longzi had been forced to reincarnate by Jiang Linxian.

Just didn't expect it.

There's more to come.

Clearly, Jiang Linxian was no ordinary True Lord; he possessed the ability to deduce cause and effect. That's why he was able to use his great supernatural powers to find the reincarnation of Huang Longzi, enlighten him, and guide him to Baiyujing.

Young Choi Ha has already broken free from the secrets of pregnancy.

No wonder he could break through realms so quickly.

Li Rui even felt that Cui He, or rather Huang Longzi, was deliberately suppressing his cultivation level, otherwise he could have achieved even greater speed.

He looked at Li Rui with a sincere expression and said, "Senior Li, I didn't have a choice before, but now I just want to be a good person."

"."

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

However, upon closer examination...

In fact, Huang Longzi did not do anything immoral when he was in Jinting Xiaodongtian. The calamity was caused by the National Preceptor, who framed him. In fact, it was because Huang Longzi reversed the flow of fortune that Jinting Xiaodongtian is now in its golden age.

He really had no grudge against Huang Longzi.

Now that he has been reincarnated, even Jiang Linxian doesn't say anything, so he naturally has nothing to say either.

Obviously.

This time, Bai Yujing's bait wasn't just him; Cui He, or rather "Huang Longzi," was also one of the baits.

The old Taoist priest said again, "This boy cultivates the Path of Following the Dragon, so you can take him to work at your Eastern Governor's Office."

The words just finished.

Cui He quickly bowed to Li Rui and said, "Cui He pays his respects to the King of Chu. From now on, I will serve our Great Yu with all my heart and soul."

Li Rui's eyes turned strange.

This Yellow Dragon Prince transformed himself from a dragon slayer into a loyal subject of the Great Yu Dynasty.

If you can't beat them, join them?
He pondered for a moment, then said, "From now on, you will work as a staff member in the Prince's Palace."

Cui He's identity is really too good.

So much so that he simply couldn't refuse.

The Cui family is a top-tier immortal cultivation family in Taihua Prefecture, and the Cui family patriarch is even a Dao Lord.

With someone like Cui He around, even the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty would have to think twice before acting.

It has a strong deterrent effect.

As for matters concerning the past life, with Jiang Linxian overseeing things, there shouldn't be any problems.

Upon hearing Li Rui's agreement, Cui He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The matter is settled.

Early the next morning.

The old Taoist priest then led Li Rui and Cui He down from Baiyujing.

"Sister Pei, I've admired you for a long time. I still remember your battle at Huishan."

In the palace.

The young Cui He kept pestering Pei Yao, chattering on and on.

If it weren't for the old Taoist priest Faran pointing it out, no one would have realized that the lively young man in front of them was actually the same person as the cunning and scheming Huang Longzi.

Or rather.

Is this Huang Longzi's true nature?
Pei Yao already knew the true identity of the boy in front of her from Li Rui, and simply said, "Get lost!"

Cui He wore a resentful expression.

"Sister Pei, are you still angry with me because of what happened in our past life?"

Pei Yao said fiercely, "If you speak again, I'll tear your tongue out."

After saying that, he went back to his room.

Nie Siming, Yuan Xiong, Ning Zhongtian, Liu Tiezhu, and Wang Zhao, who were standing to the side, were all dumbfounded.

'Is this the legendary great demon, Huang Longzi?'

Nie Siming: "Hey, kid, are you really the reincarnation of Huang Longzi?" Upon hearing this...

Choi Ha rolled his eyes.
"Who are you calling a 'shrew'? I'm Choi Ha, the staff member now."

Taixu Daoist Temple, the cave dwelling of the Longevity Daoist Lord.

Li Rui stared at the almost transparent spirit of the old man with a complicated expression.

The centennial deadline is approaching.

The old man, the spirit of the artifact, was originally a remnant soul of an artifact spirit, and could not exist in the world for too long; a hundred years was already the limit.

"You little rascal, don't forget what I told you."

The old spirit was quite open-minded about such things.

He was originally a remnant soul, existing only for Li Rui, the successor of the Daoist Lord of Longevity, and had long foreseen this ending.

And he was lucky.

Li Rui is an excellent successor.

Perhaps one day he will be able to reach the same level as his Daoist master.

"You can rest assured, senior."

Li Rui spoke with a sincere expression.

Over the years, the old spirit has been of great help to him, and the help has become even greater as time went on.

The thing the old spirit was talking about was naturally a corner of the Celestial Court.

Or perhaps it's about finding out where the Longevity Daoist Lord is by sifting through a corner of the Celestial Court, thus fulfilling the wish of the little old spirit, even though the little old spirit certainly won't live to see that day.

The old spirit patted the large box in the cave that he had always guarded very closely:

"Kid, this box is yours from now on."

"There are a lot of good things inside, but you have to use them sparingly, understand?"

Li Rui: "Yes, senior."

The old spirit went on and on, explaining a great deal.

Li Rui was an excellent junior, and most of the time he listened quietly.

An hour later.

Only Li Rui remained in the cave.

Such is the path of cultivation: heroes grow old and die, beauties age, and former companions will eventually turn to dust one by one, leaving only one person to walk alone.

However, Li Rui always felt that he would meet the spirit of the old man again someday.

His gaze fell on the large wooden crate.

The spirit of the old man was not a gift from Daoist Wanshou; the treasures inside the large wooden box were.

The existence of the spirit old man is actually a test; only those recognized by the spirit old man can obtain the inheritance of the Longevity Dao Lord.

Li Rui lifted the large wooden crate.

A divine ray of light shot into his brow.

"Lord Wanshou has thought things through thoroughly."

This large wooden box has four layers of restrictions, containing immortal treasures ranging from the Celestial Realm to the Dao Lord Realm. Only when one reaches the required realm can the corresponding restrictions be opened.

Obviously.

Lord Wanshou was worried that his successor would not be able to control such a powerful force.

It can be said that they put a lot of thought into it.

Li Rui broke through the restrictions of the Celestial Realm and his eyes lit up when he saw the wooden box full of top-grade spirit stones and piles of high-level spirit pills.

Get rich!
Then he remembered what the old spirit had said.

"All that talk about not seeking external things, about prioritizing inner cultivation over external matters, is utter nonsense. My Daoist Master said that cultivating immortality boils down to three words: wealth, wealth, and more wealth. With enough resources, even a fool can reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

Indeed, Lord Wanshou is embodying this very philosophy.

They directly passed on the cultivation resources to their successors in later generations.

Those who can pass the century-long test of the spirit old man have already passed the test in terms of character and aptitude. All they lack is time and resources. If time is not enough, then they can just give as many resources as possible.

The inheritance from the Daoist Master of Longevity was exactly what Li Rui wanted.

He has now become a wealthy man with bulging pockets.
