Chapter 422 The best spiritual stone
Li Rui’s eyes fixed.

But Chen Ming spoke first: “Master Li, save me, I can tell you the whereabouts of the top-grade spirit stone.”

Top-grade spiritual stone? !
Li Rui was shocked.

He didn’t expect to meet Chen Ming, who started by offering top-grade spirit stones.

Let’s look at Chen Ming again.

He was covered in blood, looked weak and in a very miserable state.

Obviously, Chen Ming was being hunted by some powerful person and had to flee to the Yu Kingdom Spiritual Mine to protect himself.

There is a high probability that he is being hunted down because of the top-grade spirit stone.

“Could it be that Chen Ming has a top-grade spiritual stone?”

Li Rui immediately vigilantly sensed the situation around him, and only relaxed slightly after making sure that there were no strong enemies attacking.

As for why Chen Ming chose to look for him.

It probably has something to do with the last time we met.

But there is no doubt that Chen Ming must have already figured out the situation of the spiritual mine.

Li Rui snorted in his heart.

It was just as he guessed.

There is no way Chen Ming would travel thousands of miles just to make sworn brothers.

It turned out that he had his eyes on the top-grade spirit stone.

If high-grade spirit stones are rare, then top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare. Sometimes they are hard to come by even after decades. In the world of immortal cultivation, they will be sought after by great cultivators as soon as they appear.

Ordinary monks have no chance of contact at all.

Even Wu De felt jealous when he talked about the top-grade spirit stones.

Many great monks from the lower world probably came here for the top-grade spirit stones.

That is a precious resource for cultivation.

Li Rui thought of the rumors he heard when he met the demon cultivator before.

At first I thought it was fabricated nonsense.

I didn’t expect it to be true.

at last.

Li Rui said slowly: “Come in.”

Say it.

He took out a few talismans from his sleeves and scattered them casually, setting up a ban in the room to block the outside world from detecting him.

Chen Ming saw Li Rui’s move.

I was slightly surprised.

What a brilliant spell!

He is a powerful person in the Tongxuan realm with extraordinary knowledge. He has seen many talisman masters, but very few can compare with Li Rui’s.

“It’s hidden deep enough.”

Chen Ming pondered in his heart.

However, the more strength Li Ruizang possesses, the better it is for him now.

Li Rui: “Brother Chen, tell me.”

There was finally a smile in Chen Ming’s eyes.

Li Rui said this, obviously indicating that he was willing to save him.

That’s right, few third-grade people could resist the temptation of top-grade spirit stones, and even first-grade land immortals would try to snatch them.

Li Rui is just an official of the Yu State, and it is said that he has been practicing immortal arts recently.

It would be strange if I wasn’t tempted.

Chen Ming swallowed the blood in his throat, his tone became calm, and he said:

“Brother Li, now that it has come to this, I will speak frankly.”

“I didn’t lie to you before.”

“I was indeed looking for the spiritual mine for my brother, but there is one thing I hid from him.”

“Actually, my brother gave me a compass when we last met. It can detect the existence of top-grade spirit stones. I shouldn’t have done that.”

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

“continue.”

Chen Ming added: “I heard that the spiritual mine in Shiwan Mountain appeared in the world. I originally wanted to pay tribute to my brother, but I never thought that it would cause the compass to move abnormally, so I stayed in Shiwan Mountain to search for it.”

A sincere face.

“But I never expected that I would be targeted by a demon cultivator for some reason. I was no match for him, so I had no choice but to find Master Li in a panic.”

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he looked at Li Rui quietly.

Li Rui spoke again: “What is the level of that demon cultivator, and what does he look like?”

Chen Ming was delighted and slightly relieved.

Li Rui began to care about the situation of the demon cultivator. He should be protected today, otherwise he would not have asked at all.

“That demon cultivator is at the upper level of Tongxuan, but he has many magic weapons and is extremely difficult to deal with.”

Li Rui nodded.

The upper realm of Tongxuan is still within the scope of what can be dealt with.

There are four Tongxuan in the spiritual mine, and with the large formation, it is enough to suppress a Tongxuan upper realm.

No wonder Chen Ming barged in.

As for how Chen Ming managed to avoid the formation, he did not ask.

Everyone has their own secret methods.

Li Rui: “Brother Chen, I can let you stay here for a few days. After your injuries recover, I will give you half of the top-grade spirit stones. If you agree, we can swear an oath. If not, please leave. I will pretend that I have never seen or heard of what happened today.”

The so-called Taoist oath.

It is a method that can only be performed by those who have reached the upper third level.

The top three grades can sense heaven and earth, so they can swear with their heart of Tao. Once they swear and then regret it, the backlash will be great. At the very least, they will make no progress for the rest of their lives, and at the worst, they will die suddenly.

Chen Ming gritted his teeth and nodded:

“it is good.”

Say it.

The two of them each released a trace of their true energy and swore an oath.

The oath of Tao is fulfilled.

Chen Ming was obviously much more relaxed.

Li Rui said calmly: “Brother Chen, please stay in this room temporarily and recover from your injuries. I will take care of the demon cultivator myself.”

“Ah.”

Chen Ming nodded.

He really closed his eyes, sat cross-legged and began to heal his wounds.

Li Rui took a look.

Judging from the aura he exudes now, it can be roughly judged that Chen Ming should be in the early stage of Tongxuan.

Chen Ming’s ranking in the world’s martial arts evaluation is not much higher than Li Rui’s.

Of course it is on one level.

Li Rui walked out of the room.

Just walked out of the yard.

He found the general guarding the spiritual mine and asked about the latest situation.

The guarding generals did not notice anything unusual.

“He does have some skills.”

Li Rui chuckled.

It is not easy to sneak into the spiritual mine. The previous demon cultivators have put a lot of thought into it. Chen Ming was able to come in quietly, which shows that his ability is quite impressive.

Don’t think about it.

Chen Ming must be hiding something.

But Li Rui was not surprised. As a traitor, everyone has some hidden cards. “Keep a close eye on it. If there is any movement, report it immediately.”

“Yes.”

The guard general received the order.

Only then did Li Rui walk down the city wall.

He inspected the spiritual mine alone, leaving a few talismans as he walked.

These talismans have little combat power.

Its only function is to provide an early warning if a strong person approaches.

Chen Ming can come in.

Maybe that evil cultivator can also come in.

Have to guard against it.

After doing all this, Li Rui returned to his room with peace of mind.

The day.

He found a reason and sent Ning Zhongtian back to Qingwei Sect.

Outside the spiritual mine.

Taoist Wan Gui was waiting at the spiritual mine not far away with his eyes glowing with a cold red light.

Cursing secretly in his heart.

“Damn it!”

“This little loach.”

Not bad.

He was the one who was chasing Chen Ming.

Originally, he came here today to check the status of the evil puppet formation he left behind in the Yuguo Spiritual Mine.

Never thought about it.

Halfway through his journey, he came across the soul-seeking compass.

This is a rare thing.

It was rumored that one could sense top-grade spirit stones in spirit mines. He had never expected that he would be able to see such treasures after descending to the lower world.

The spiritual mine was born.

This world has accumulated thousands of years, so it is very likely that there are top-grade spirit stones.

This soul-seeking compass is of great use to the Taoist Master Wan Gui.

So the idea of ​​stealing the treasure came to mind.

But he didn’t expect that the cultivator from the lower world was more powerful than he had imagined. After fighting with him for a few moves, he was defeated. The cultivator escaped in a way he had never seen before, and then broke into the spiritual mine.

Although the Taoist Master Wan Gui also has the means to get in.

But it is much more complicated than Chen Ming’s and requires at least one day of preparation.

This is also what makes Taoist Wan Gui depressed.

He groaned.

“Forget it, don’t ruin the big thing.”

If the evil puppet formation is exposed in order to capture that person, it would be a great loss.

Especially now that the people from the Wanfa Palace have also set their sights on that man named Li Rui, there can be no room for mistakes.

The Taoist Master Wan Gui just took a look.

Then, after making sure that there was no problem with the evil puppet formation he had set up, he turned and left.

Half a month later.

Chen Ming’s injuries have fully recovered and he is now full of energy.

in the room.

“Master Li, if I can get the spiritual stone, I will definitely send it to you.”

Chen Ming survived the disaster and was in a good mood, smiling a lot more.

Li Rui just nodded:

“You and I swore an oath, and this is what I should do.”

He then said again.

“Brother Chen, this is the Yu Kingdom’s spiritual mine. There are many people and experts here. If you continue to stay here, you may be exposed. I have prepared a carriage. You can pretend to return to Qingwei Sect with me and then leave halfway.”

“Don’t worry, I have placed magic talismans in the carriage, no one will find it.”

Hear the words.

Chen Ming was overjoyed:

“Master Li is really thoughtful.”

Li Rui smiled slightly: “Brother Chen, please.”

Having said that, he took Chen Ming out of the yard.

Sure enough, there was a huge carriage made of black iron parked in front of the gate of Li Rui’s mansion. The guards at the gate had been sent away by Li Rui, and there was no one at the gate.

When Chen Ming got on the carriage, he saw that the carriage was covered with talismans.

Li Rui explained: “These talismans can block prying eyes, no one can find us.”

Chen Ming said “good”.

“Master Li is truly a man who never reveals his true identity. It turns out that the art of talismans is so powerful.”

He praised it with his mouth.

But I was thinking about other things.

Top-grade spirit stones are extremely valuable, so of course he cannot share them with others, so he wants to enjoy them all by himself.

As for the Dao Oath, he had already transferred it with a treasure, so the backlash could not fall on him at all.

Looking for Li Rui was just a helpless act.

Now that it is no longer needed, why should he worry about it.

Anyway, his strength is greater than Li Rui’s, and the things between the two of them are not open to the public, so Li Rui cannot use the power of the court to suppress him.

Now that we are no longer bound by the oath, we will get off the carriage later.

He would never meet Li Rui again.

This kind of behavior is very common in the world.

If anyone is to blame, it’s only Li Rui, this old fellow, who lacks experience in the world. This can be considered a lesson for him.

Anyway, Li Rui didn’t lose much.

Looking at it this way, Chen Ming felt that he had acted very righteously.

If you meet a shameless person, you might end up getting cheated.

The heavy carriage moved very steadily on the rugged mountain road.

No groom needed.

Pulled by a huge demon horse, it ran very fast.

inside the carriage.

Li Rui and Chen Ming sat opposite each other.

The two of them didn’t say anything, they just closed their eyes and meditated quietly.

A full quarter of an hour passed.

Chen Ming then opened his eyes: “Master Li, this place is hundreds of miles away from the spiritual mine, and the demon cultivator should have left. I will remember your kindness in my heart and will repay you with spiritual stones one day.”

Say it.

He was about to get up and walk out of the carriage.

But just when he was halfway up.

The densely packed talismans in the carriage suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.

Chen Ming’s pupils dilated.

Then I heard Li Rui’s voice:

“Since Brother Chen is here, you don’t have to leave.”
