Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 781 A True Scholar

"A sage ruler?!"

Li Rui was shocked when he heard Yu Haizhenjun's words.

Good guy.

He was no ignorant country bumpkin; he knew the weight of the title of "Sage Emperor."

Those who say that cultivators don't care about fame are just imagining things. Fame represents fortune, so who wouldn't like it?
It's just that we can't win it.

The title of "Sage Ruler" is not only due to his own strength, but more importantly, it is due to his good relationship with the Human Emperor's Palace.

The latter point is even more important than the former.

Therefore, no one dares to provoke a celestial dynasty with a sage ruler, because it is highly likely that one of the five great celestial dynasties will protect it.

of course.

The benefits of a wise and virtuous ruler go far beyond this.

Li Rui took a deep breath.

The image of Master Zhu's cunning expression before he left that day flashed through my mind, and I immediately understood.

No need to think about it anymore.

It must be the work of Master Zhu.

Li Rui was secretly surprised, realizing that he had underestimated Master Zhu's connections in Shenxu City.

To bestow a sage ruler, the emperor's approval is required.

Master Zhu clearly went to the palace to see the Divine Emperor.

However, considering that Master Zhu was the reincarnation of Dao Jun, it is not entirely impossible, but the favor would be quite substantial.

Generous!
No hesitation.

Li Rui immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Emperor."

The Human Emperor's Palace is an alliance. Whether it is a top-tier immortal dynasty or a third-tier immortal dynasty, everyone is nominally equal.

Since everyone is an emperor, there is naturally no such thing as being inferior.

As an ancestor of a dynasty, he naturally does not need to be too humble.

Not to mention that he now also has the identity of a sage ruler.

Yu Hai Zhenjun looked at the composed Li Rui, smiled, and with a flick of his finger, a divine light entered Li Rui's body.

This is what it means to be granted a title.

That divine light was bestowed by the Human Emperor himself. From now on, as long as one is within the territory of the Human Emperor's Palace, no one will be unaware of Li Rui's title of Sage King. Even in a first-rate immortal dynasty, he will be treated as a Sage Emperor.

"With you by our side, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty will soon be promoted to a first-class immortal dynasty. When that time comes, I will definitely come to congratulate you in person."

"That's what True Lord Yu Hai said."

According to the rules of the Human Emperor's Palace, as long as a first-class immortal dynasty appears in the fourteen states...

It would be necessary to send a True Lord to read out the Emperor's Decree from the Emperor's Palace.

Li Rui: "Palace Master Yu Hai, I have prepared some wine at home. Why don't you come in and have a chat?"

Yu Hai Zhenjun waved his hand:

"I have important matters to attend to, so I will not stay any longer."

After saying this, he left with the officials of the main hall.

Li Rui was not surprised by this.

Yu Hai Zhenjun has high hopes for him, and Shengxianjun is indeed comparable to Zhenjun, but he is not Zhenjun after all.

In the world of cultivation, strength is the most important thing.

If True Lord Yu Hai were to enter the room and sit on equal footing with Li Rui, it would tarnish the True Lord's reputation.

He certainly wouldn't agree.

I haven't heard anyone say that the two sides will only be qualified to continue their dialogue when Li Rui breaks through to the True Monarch level and the Great Yu Dynasty advances to the First Rank.

Not every true lord is as kind as Master Zhu.

In fact, many cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage never even exchange a single word with a True Lord in their entire lives.

The distinction between immortals and mortals is not something to be taken lightly.

Gu Changsheng and Cui He looked at Li Rui, and even with their limited knowledge, their faces showed envy.

They were all quick-witted people, and they were all present when Master Zhu came to visit that day, so they had already guessed the whole story.

They were even more shocked by the methods of that old Master Zhu.

Choi Ha couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"Master Zhu is truly magnanimous in his actions!"

These words had barely left his mouth when he said them.

Then, an old scholar appeared in the courtyard with a smile on his face.

It was none other than Master Zhu.

"You little brat from the Cui family, you've learned that old rascal Cui's glib tongue."

Upon seeing Zhu Qingshan appear, Cui He's face immediately became full of flattery: "Senior, this is from the bottom of my heart. My respect for you is like a surging river." "Stop, stop."

Master Zhu waved his hand to interrupt: "No matter what you say, I can't get you a sage ruler. I've already used up all the favors I have with the Emperor. If you want one, go find Old Monster Cui yourself."

Li Rui's eyes narrowed.

really.

Master Zhu spent a great deal of personal favors to secure the position of this sage ruler.

"Thank you, senior."

This bow was made with utmost sincerity.

Li Rui was not a dull person; he could have said even better things. However, when dealing with Master Zhu, sincerity was the best approach.

Master Zhu smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to thank me. By accepting this sage ruler, you are half a Confucian. This is a business deal, and it's all about being willing. There's nothing to thank me for."

After hearing this.

Li Rui bowed deeply without hesitation.

It's a good business.

But it's clear that he made the profit.

Where in the world is there a saying about exchanging potential for tangible benefits? If that were the case, would there still be geniuses being buried?

Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it.

Since Master Zhu, as a senior, was willing to mentor him, Li Rui naturally did not feel it was a matter of course.

This is against the rules.

Master Zhu accepted Li Rui's bow without hesitation: "I have nothing more to teach you, so I'll just give you this identity. When you go back, you won't be bullied by anyone."

Li Rui understood that Master Zhu had given him a protective charm!

Everyone knew that he would eventually return to Taihua Prefecture.

His name is still among the top three on the Wanfa Hall's wanted list; he is a notorious villain whom everyone in Taihua Prefecture wants to kill.

But if one had this identity, even the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws would have to think twice.

It won't be too outrageous.

Master Zhu's efforts were truly painstaking.

"With the identity of this Sage Emperor, you can still come and go from Hongwen Pavilion. Whenever you have time, you can come and sit at my residence."

Say it.

Master Zhu then drifted away without looking back.

Cui He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration again:
"Master Zhu is truly a scholar!"

This time, he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

The words just finished.

Suddenly, I felt a clearing of my mind, and the voice of Master Zhu echoed in my head: "I love to hear these words, and you deserve a reward!"

Cui He immediately grinned.

Master Zhu has a substantial fortune; these kind words should indeed be spoken more often.

See this scene.

Gu Changsheng was filled with regret.

A blink of an eye.

Li Rui stayed in Shenxu City for another year.

With the identity of a sage ruler, it is much more convenient for him to enter and leave the palace. Moreover, this identity was bestowed by the human emperor, so even someone like King Tianxuan would not dare to easily frame Li Rui with a fabricated crime and kill him.

Life was simple yet fulfilling.

"It shouldn't be long before the Crimson Palace Grotto-Heaven is opened."

Li Rui introspectively examined his inner heart.

A sage ruler is not just about reputation, but also about destiny.

Moreover, it is the purest fortune of the Human Emperor's Palace.

It is very beneficial to spiritual practice.

Once the Crimson Palace Grotto-Heaven is opened, the Dao Seed can be invited to reside there. At that time, the two grotto-heavens will be in balance with each other, thus nurturing the Dao Seed.

Two certificates at once.

Maybe I can get more certificates.

Dealing with those calculations will then be much easier.

Suddenly——

He scanned the doorway with his divine sense and found a person standing quietly.

"Brother Jiang?"
