Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 9: Entry
"I've entered the realm of quality?!"

Li Rui looked at everything that was happening to him in disbelief.

These traces all indicate that he has entered the Stone Skin Realm.

Applying jade to the skin will make the blood rush to the head!

He had been practicing Ba Duan Jin diligently, and he never expected that he would be able to break through to the Stone Skin Realm without realizing it.

There is a saying that has been circulating in the Qinghe martial arts community:

"Three years for skin, ten years for bones, and a lifetime for tendons."

It means that it takes at least three years for ordinary people to enter the Stone Skin Realm, but Li Rui only took one month! !
This speed is really scary.

I'm afraid he is even better than the geniuses of those big sects.

He has a perfect life now, so it’s not too much to be a little outstanding, right?
However, the more this happened, the more Li Rui wanted to keep his secret. He was already seventy years old and had never practiced martial arts before. Now he suddenly became a martial artist. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was amiss.

If people knew that I had martial bones, it would definitely bring disaster upon myself.

Never be proud or complacent.

If one has ten qualities and is less than three or four as an outsider, then this is considered the entry level. If one can be like a certain old demon named Han, then he would be considered an expert in the field.

After entering the product.

The road he can walk on is much wider.

Dayu was a country founded on military power and attached great importance to martial artists.

The best way, of course, is to take part in the martial arts examination.

Learned martial arts and brought goods to the emperor's family.

The Emperor Taizu, who founded the Dayu Kingdom, established imperial examinations to recruit talented people from all over the world. The status of the military examination was equal to that of the civil examination. As long as one could obtain the status of a juren, one could at least become a chief clerk, an official appointed by the court registered in the Ministry of Personnel.

Enjoy endless blessings.

As an official, Li Rui will have more time to seek the truth.

Otherwise, even if you have an amazing martial arts body, in ten years it will all turn into a handful of earth and everything will be in vain.

"I will go to the master for grace in the spring of next year."

In three months, he will be seventy years old.

According to the laws of the State of Yu, slaves could be deregistered and become white-household members after they turned seventy to show filial piety.

Although he has already been promoted, he can be freed as long as he shows his strength.

But he was nearly seventy years old, an age when others would have already been buried, but he had become a martial artist. It was too shocking to make it known to the world, and he was afraid that some people would think he was blessed with great fortune and attract bad guys to covet him.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

Li Rui doesn't want to sleep with a knife under his pillow.

Even though you may become a martial artist, you are still a mortal being and can die if stabbed, so it is never too much to be cautious.

"We have endured for decades, so three months won't make a difference."

After years of trials and tribulations, what Li Rui lacks the least is patience.

“What a great horse!”

Li Rui touched the four new chestnut horses that had entered the stable and praised them inwardly.

The coat color is pure, without a single stray hair, which means it has a good bloodline. It's a purebred Dayuan horse. Tsk, tsk, one horse would cost at least a thousand gold coins.

There is another name that is more well-known.

Ferghana horse!

As expected of a disciple of Huaqing Sect, he is truly domineering.

He has been raising horses for so many years, and he can only take a look at them when the eldest son of the Zhu family comes home to visit his relatives.

The next second—

A clear voice sounded behind him.

"How strange! My little Hong has a strange temper and has always kept strangers away. How could she be so affectionate to a groom like you?"

"Junior Brother Zhu, your family is indeed full of talented people."

When Li Rui turned around, he saw Zhu Yue, the eldest son of the Zhu family, and three people from the Huaqing Sect appeared not far away.

"Young Master."

Li Rui turned around with a respectful look on his face.

Zhu Yue was in a good mood after receiving Han Qin's praise:

"Old Li, you've done a great job. I remember you'll be almost seventy in a few months, right?" "Yes, Master."

Zhu Yue was secretly proud of his good memory: "I'll tell my father in a few days and give you a raise."

"Thank you, Master."

Li Rui had a fawning look on his face.

These young men from rich families are stupid and have a lot of money. As long as they are happy, they will spend money lavishly. Just because he was praised by the disciple of Huaqing Sect, his allowance, which had not increased for more than ten years, increased for the first time.

The richer the family, the more they care about face.

Zhou Hu on the side couldn't help but urge: "Brother, let's set off quickly, don't let that traitor get away."

"It is also."

Han Qin nodded slowly.

"Junior Brother Zhu, why don't you let this old groom go with us? We'll always need someone to look after the horses."

Hearing the words of the Huaqing Sect disciple.

Li Rui's heart tightened.

He just heard the word "traitor", and it was obvious that these people were going to hunt down the traitor.

But Zhu Yue did not give him a chance to refuse: "Senior Brother Han is really thoughtful. Old Li, you can go with us."

"Yes."

Li Rui had no choice but to agree.

His current identity is still the groom of the Zhu family. He has no right to refuse. Otherwise, Zhu Yue will punish him in anger, and he will not be able to bear it and may even be beaten to death.

Besides, he was just watching the horses from the outside, so there shouldn't be any danger.

In the mountains and forests outside the city.

"Masters."

A middle-aged man in a deep blue official uniform saw Zhu Yue and his companions coming on horseback, and took two quick steps to greet them.

"Captain Liu, thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Yue jumped off his horse as light as a swallow, his movements graceful and neat.

The Zhu family has great influence in Qinghe and has a deep relationship with the government, which is why they were able to mobilize more than a dozen detectives to help them search for clues.

"It's not hard. Some herbalists saw the thief hiding in a deserted temple halfway up the mountain."

Captain Liu pointed to the forest.

Upon hearing the whereabouts of the traitor, Zhu Yue was even more delighted.

Zhou Hu rubbed his hands and said, "That kid injured his fellow disciples and stole Elder Ma's secret method. Elder Ma was furious. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to offer four Blood Transformation Pills as a reward."

When talking about the Blood-Transforming Pill, Zhu Yue smiled even more.

A Blood-Transforming Pill is of great benefit to cultivation and is worth a fortune, but the key is that there is no market for it.

If I could obtain the Blood-Transforming Pill, the progress of breaking through to the eighth level would be greatly increased, saving at least a year of hard training.

Han Qin said, "Junior Brother Zhu, you go up the mountain from the south, Junior Brother Zhou, you go up the mountain from the north, Junior Sister Jiang, you go up the mountain from the west."

"Captain Liu, I'd like to trouble you to lead your men to surround the deserted temple while we fight, to prevent him from escaping."

"it is good!"

Captain Liu nodded, secretly praising the Huaqing Sect disciples for being different. They were thoughtful and their action plans were strict. That person would have no chance of escaping.

Several people discussed countermeasures.

Li Rui had nothing to do, so he tied the four people from Huaqing Sect's Ferghana horses to a tree stump. As he turned around, his eyes met with those of the girl from Huaqing Sect.

Along the way, several people spoke without avoiding him.

So he knew that the girl from Huaqing Sect was called Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan was not interested in the details of the manhunt, but was secretly observing Li Rui.

Seeing that Li Rui had discovered her, Jiang Yan turned her head.

Li Rui was even more puzzled.

What did the other party see in him?
The next second—

A line of small words appeared before his eyes.
