Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 743 Meeting the Daoist Lord

He had been involved in officialdom for many years.

Li Rui came to the conclusion that when meeting a superior for the first time, it is best to address them by their title.

Only idiots.

That's why they'll try to establish a relationship the first time they meet.

Moreover, he really had no connections to rely on.

He bowed deeply:
"Li Rui, the master of Tianzhen Tower, pays respects to the ancestor."

The old man in hemp clothing, Zhuge Ming, chuckled.

'He's an interesting little fellow.'

that day.

He saw it all clearly.

Although Li Rui happened to obtain the fragment of the [Netherworld Fire] Dao Seed that the old Daoist Fa Ran had seized, he used it to sever the path of the Liang family patriarch.

But theory is theory.

In reality, even if a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm obtains a fragment of the [Netherworld Fire] Dao Seed, it would be extremely difficult to achieve this.

After all.

It's Li Rui, this young kid, who's really capable.

They remain calm in the face of danger and can even turn the tables.

He's a fine young man indeed.

"Come here, let me take a good look at you."

Zhuge Ming beckoned to Li Rui, signaling him to come closer.

Li Rui walked obediently to Zhuge Ming.

Zhuge Ming gazed at the scene for a full seven breaths, then said with a half-smile, "Very good."

He couldn't see through.

Li Rui was surrounded by an extremely mysterious aura that enveloped everything, making it impossible for anyone to see through him.

Even he wouldn't be able to do it.

That's why he felt it was good.

He has seen far too many monsters.

Many people even have more talent than him.

In the end, he became a Dao Lord, while those demons turned into a handful of dust.

The key is to survive.

In this battle, he deliberately opened up the large formation.

The elders and disciples of Baiyujing had been living in comfort for too long and had long forgotten the real crisis, which he had long been dissatisfied with.

It was the swords of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws and the Blood Demon Cult that rekindled Bai Yujing's fighting spirit.

Ding Jun couldn't withstand the pressure, but he performed well.

They will likely be personally enlightened by him after reincarnation.

As for this little kid in front of me, he looks like the kind who will survive.

That's good.

Zhuge Ming waved his sleeve.

Li Rui had hidden himself well enough, but due to his low level of cultivation, there were some things he was willing to do but unable to.

As an elder, he should naturally lend a hand.

Zhuge Ming waved his hand gently.

Li Rui felt an extremely mysterious magical power flowing around his body.

My heart moved slightly.

Zhuge Ming is helping him cover up the cause and effect!

Sometimes, not being able to see through things is a form of ostentation. He knew this, but he was powerless to do anything about it. However, with Zhuge Ming's help, even if a Daoist Lord met him, he would only think of him as a decent junior.

How could Zhuge Ming not see it?

Li Rui's true strength may be even more terrifying than it appears.

The seventh volume of the Book of People?

Too low.

'Concealing one's talents.'

Zhuge Ming smiled.

"Nice little guy."

Li Rui spoke up at the opportune moment: "Ancestor has displayed great power, and this junior greatly admires it."

"You certainly have a sweet tongue."

Zhuge Ming burst into laughter again.

As the saying goes, it's never wrong to be overly polite; even after becoming a Daoist master, one still enjoys hearing kind words.

But then Zhuge Ming said, "Do you know how much I paid for displaying my divine power this time?"

Before Li Rui could speak.

Zhuge Ming raised three fingers and waved them in front of Li Rui: "Three hundred years of lifespan."

Upon hearing this number, Li Rui couldn't help but click his tongue.

He knew that using the immortal tree would come at a price, but he never imagined it would be this terrible.

Zhuge Ming said leisurely:

"I have lived for 1,300 years in this life. Now, after deducting another 300 years, I am already halfway to the ground. At most, I can only prolong my life and protect Baiyujing for another 200 years before I can only be reincarnated."

"But being able to kill that brat Huanglong isn't a bad deal." he said.

Zhuge Ming grinned, a smug look on his face.

"This strike won't be easy to get through."

“Summer flourishes and winter withers, the cycle continues endlessly. The Hall of Ten Thousand Laws has found a Daoist Lord from another state, so it is only right that he should gain power.”

"I wish to retire from the world and seclude myself in the mountains."

The mountain is closed!

Li Rui was startled.

Zhuge Ming looked at Li Rui with a half-smile: "I think this Jinting Isle is quite nice."

The Immortal Sect has sealed off its mountain.

Generally, there are two types.

First, they completely disappeared, and almost no one knew their whereabouts.

The other type, as Zhuge Ming said, simply left the fourteen provinces.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the blink of an eye.

He then understood Zhuge Ming's intention.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Laws also harbors ambitions to seize a province, but now that the Divine Profound Sect is weak, Zhuge Ming of Baiyujing can only maintain his position for at most two hundred years.

Compared to the life-or-death struggle with the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws and the Blood Demon Cult in Taihua Prefecture.

The most crucial thing is to cultivate the next Dao Lord.

As long as there are two Dao Lords, Baiyujing will always remain Baiyujing.

Even when the tide turns and the balance shifts, a counterattack will be a piece of cake.

This is a strategy of retreating to advance.

Moreover, Bai Yujing has been cultivating Jinting Xiaozhou for the past hundred years, and has already established a solid foundation, so everything has come to fruition naturally.

Not to mention, there is also a fairy tomb on Jinting Xiaozhou.

'A clever scheme.'

Li Rui secretly praised him.

How could he not see it? It's likely that this Old Ancestor Zhuge had already calculated it back in the Golden Court Little Cave Heaven.

"I will follow the ancestor's arrangements."

Li Rui immediately bowed.

He was the ancestor of the Yu Kingdom, and could be considered its master.

Zhuge Ming asked him today because he thought highly of him, but if he really didn't know what was good for him and refused Li Rui, then he had no right to say no.

Jinting Xiaozhou was Bai Yujing's chosen escape route.

"very good."

Zhuge Ming burst into laughter again.

Just laugh.

Golden pills flew out from his sleeves.

A wonderful fragrance wafts through the air!

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

With just one glance, he could tell that these pills were extraordinary.

Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir, Divine Essence Great Elixir, Nine-Soul Ghost Elixir.
Each of these is a top-grade pill that is only used when breaking through to the next level in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Zhuge Ming chuckled and said, "When elders meet juniors, they always have to give them some gifts. After accepting these pills, we'll go down the mountain in a few days."

Li Rui had just put away the pills when a look of astonishment appeared on his face:

"Going down the mountain?"

He had just voiced his question.

Then I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Ancestor, Ancestor, you have displayed great power! My respect for you is like a surging river, never-ending."

Fu Feng Zhenjun looked at the young man who was running towards him with a strange expression.

崔河
Or it should be called Yellow Dragon.

But why does this sound so familiar?

As soon as Li Rui turned his head, he saw Cui He running over excitedly.

When passing by.

Cui He winked at Li Rui.

Zhuge Ming looked at Cui He and said with a smile, "Your surname is Cui, and my surname is Zhuge. We are not from the same family. You should call this ancestor 'that old codger'."

Cui He still wore a fawning expression:
“One is my biological ancestor, and the other is the ancestor who taught me; they are both ancestors.”

Zhuge Ming burst into laughter again.

I laughed for a long time.

Then he pointed at Li Rui and said, "Alright, you take this kid down the mountain. Once you get to Zhongzhou, with the Cui family's reputation, he shouldn't be easily bullied."

"Go."

Zhuge Ming waved his sleeve.

Li Rui was even more shocked:

"Zhongzhou!!"
