Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 59: Rich Couple’s Dharma Land
"Carrying the supreme bone, I have attained the way to heaven."

This jade bone realm can only be reached by very few warriors with special physiques.

Coincidentally, Wu Gu is one of them.

Being able to reach the Jade Bone Realm would be of great benefit to the subsequent realm climbing, so Li Rui certainly did not intend to let it go.

And it doesn't take too much time for him.

However, the number of pills required for Yu Gu was too much for him now.

“You still have to make money.”

Li Rui sighed softly.

There is a saying in the underworld of Yu State that "wealth, friends, laws and land".

Needless to say, "wealth" comes first. Having money can solve more than 90% of the troubles in this world. Running around all day is not for a few taels of silver.

The second "lover" does not only refer to a partner, but also includes a teacher and relatives. If you have someone in the court, you will have no worries. With someone to lead the way, you can avoid many detours.

"Fa" refers to martial arts techniques. A profound martial arts technique that suits oneself can make practicing martial arts more efficient.

Finally, the "land" refers to the spiritual land.

As we all know, in order to refine an elixir, in addition to the alchemist's superb alchemy attainments, there must also be elixir.

And spiritual medicine only grows on spiritual soil.

In fact, spiritual soil is not as mysterious as rumored. It is basically a piece of fertile land containing special spiritual substances, which is extremely rare.

According to legend, the law was first discovered by a herbalist.

Herbs with miraculous effects can be collected in the same place every few years and are called magic medicines.

Similar to the mushroom nest where you pick mushrooms.

Experienced herbalists often take note of these medicinal herb dens, so they can continue to make considerable profits.

Later, this matter soon attracted the attention of some alchemists. After several generations of research, they determined that the root cause was actually the soil where the elixir grew.

Note, it is soil, not ground.

Only the thin layer on the surface can be called spiritual soil.

Those big sects are enclosing land everywhere just to occupy spiritual land. The amount of spiritual land in a sect also reflects the foundation of the sect to a certain extent.

In order to fight for the spiritual land, these forces have had many conflicts, and bloodshed and death are common.

But this kind of thing has never stopped.

If you want to become strong, you must fight.

But the way of fighting is very important.

"Master, Sun Ming and his people are really worthless. They actually dared to collude with human traffickers and engage in human trafficking. I don't know how many decent girls have been harmed by them and sold to brothels."

Liang He said indignantly.

He stayed up late these days to look at the account books, with big dark circles under his eyes. Although he was tired, he still couldn't hide his anger.

Li Rui looked calm.

Or maybe it's the numbness after seeing so much suffering.

Human traffickers are despicable, but if it weren't for these people who roam the underworld, where would the servants of the wealthy families and the women in brothels come from?

How can the masters in the yamen enjoy themselves?
Just human nature.

All Li Rui can do is stick to his original intention.

Seeing that Li Rui had no reaction, Liang He became anxious: "Master, these people not only buy and sell boys and girls, but also sell fake medicine and meat injected with water. And more."

He said a lot in one breath, but it was obvious that Li Rui was still indifferent and even more annoyed.

Young people can't stand these filthies.

"And they sell contraband salt!"

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Smuggling salt is indeed a heinous crime."

"???"

Lianghe’s question mark face.

He had just listed dozens of charges, but the hall master only listened to the one charge of smuggling salt?

Several days passed.

Liang He thought that Master Li would take some action.

Whatever the crime was, at least it could bring some clarity to the black market.

But what he didn't expect was that after Li Rui learned everything, he still flipped through the book as usual as if nothing had happened.

He even went out less and less frequently, which made Liang He confused.

However, he also understood that the black market had been operating for so many years, and the culprit certainly could not be just a small person like Sun Ming.

It's not him, not even Li Rui, who can bring him down.

"Is that all we can do?"

The more he looked at Sun Ming, the angrier he became. If he hadn't kept Li Rui's words in mind, he would have rushed up and beaten Sun Ming up.

"Brother Sun."

Liang He smiled and nodded to Sun Ming.

"I have matured."

Sun Ming was a little flattered. He had originally thought that he would be given a hard time when he handed in the account book, but he did not expect that nothing would happen after a few days.

The guy who came to the black market with Li Rui even nodded and bowed to him.

Sun Ming immediately felt relieved.

"It's said that those who can be deacons are not fools. Behind the business in the black market are Deputy Captain Zhao, the county magistrate, and even the head of the headquarters."

"How could a mere deacon dare to move?"

Anyone who is sensible will choose to turn a blind eye.

That was what happened to the previous deacon.

"The old man is particular about people."

Sun Ming grinned and gave Liang He a smile that he thought was kind.

When Liang He thought of the sound he heard in the alley, he felt nauseous and took a few quick steps. He really didn't want to see Sun Ming's fat face again.

But this scene fell into Sun Ming's eyes.

"The old man is scared."

You see, his little brothers all run away when they see me.

Sun Ming straightened his back.

"Don't be arrogant, I'll send you something some other day. I just don't know if it's still okay when you're already seventy. There are two top-quality items in this batch of live goods. No, what if they're the good ones for Longyang?"

Sun Ming blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to figure out Li Rui's preferences.

As long as you find out what your boss likes, most of the work is done.

The next morning.

When Li Rui arrived at the fifth floor of the black market, there was an exquisite box on the table.

It’s as big as a human head.

Li Rui walked to the table and opened the lid of the wooden box, and the golden color came into view.

"Gold?"

He raised his eyebrows.

The wooden box was filled with gold bars, which looked to be at least one hundred taels.

One tael of gold and ten taels of silver.

In other words, there are exactly one thousand and two taels of silver in this wooden box!

Li Rui licked his lips and said, "There is really a lot of money in the black market."

A small commander could actually come up with one thousand taels. Even he, the hall master, could not come up with so much money.

"bribe me?"

Li Rui smiled and shook his head.

"He is quite a smart man."

There is nothing wrong with Sun Ming doing this, and he is not stingy at all and is willing to spend a lot of money.

Even Li Rui was tempted.

"It's a pity that we are not on the same path as each other."

There was no way he would allow anyone belonging to Zhao Wei to stay by his side.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
The issue of stance is a fundamental one and cannot be compensated by personal skills, just like he never thought about pleasing Zhao Wei.

No matter how much gold and silver you spend, it will be useless unless you are willing to defect.

But what good end can a traitor have?
Therefore, Li Rui’s philosophy has always been to either not make enemies or, if you become an enemy, to kill him.

Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.
