Evergreen Immortal.

Zhu family.

"Sir, Old Li Tou did go to the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and he became something like a hall master!"

The manager of the Zhu family said.

"really?"

"It's absolutely true. I heard it with my own ears from the people of the Heaven and Earth Alliance."

Zhu Ping, the master of the Zhu family, narrowed his eyes.

"You old Litou, it's so hard to hide this from me."

It has only been less than two months since Li Rui redeemed himself, and a groom from the Zhu family suddenly transformed into a guest of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

He knew that it was not easy to get into the Heaven and Earth Alliance, let alone the Hall Master, who had to be at least a top-grade warrior.

His son Zhu Yue had told him before that Li Rui had practiced martial arts, but he never expected that Li Rui could reach the top level.

There is a world of difference between ordinary martial artists and advanced martial artists.

The second master of the Zhu family, Zhu Lie, snorted coldly: "It's just a hall master, what a big deal!"

Zhu Ping glared at his second brother.

He could probably guess why Li Rui insisted on leaving the Zhu family, and this matter must have something to do with Zhu Lie.

"You, you, you are short-sighted."

Zhu Ping cursed Zhu Lie because he hated iron.

The hall leaders of the Heaven and Earth Alliance must be at least high-grade martial artists. If Li Rui was still in the Zhu family, wouldn't the Zhu family be able to get a house-holding martial artist for free.

In order to worship those warriors, the Zhu family spent hundreds of taels of silver a year.

Moreover, the warriors trained by one's own family are of course better than those hired from outside.

After scolding Zhu Lie, he gave instructions to the middle-aged steward.

"I remember that Old Li Tou also had an apprentice named, named."

"Wang Zhao."

"Yes, Wang Zhao, give him an extra 30% of the regular salary, give him a day off, and ask him to go to the Tiandi League to walk around."

"yes."

The middle-aged housekeeper was a little surprised and didn't understand why Zhu Ping paid so much attention to Li Rui.

Zhu Lie was also puzzled: "Brother, he is just a top-grade warrior. Why should our Zhu family be afraid of him?"

Zhu Ping glared at Zhu Lie: "You don't know what you are doing, Qinghe's world is about to change!"

In Tianyi Hall.

"Are you Liu Tong?"

After finishing his sword practice, Li Rui just walked into the building when he saw an unfamiliar young disciple of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Liu Tong looked at Li Rui and said, "Hall Master Li, my brother-in-law asked me to go out for a drink yesterday, but I had to shirk it. If my brother-in-law sees me again someday, I will make an appointment with Hall Master Li."

Li Rui smiled and waved his hand: "I'm old, so I won't go."

Tianyitang has two relationships.

It's just that the two have completely different personalities.

Zhou Shulin is cautious and submissive in doing things, for fear of running into trouble, while Liu Tong looks like a playboy who has been drained by wine and sex.

Study it carefully.

Probably because Zhou Shulin's relationship with Vice Helmsman Zhou was average, he should have tried his best to get this position. But Liu Tong was different. His sister was favored and he knew how to do things, so of course he was much bolder.

There is no higher or lower, just different situations.

Regarding Liu Tong's relationship, Li Rui naturally chose to let it go as long as he didn't cause trouble.

He's all in this world.

Basically, we don’t seek merit, but only seek to have no faults.

And it seems that Liu Tong will not stay in Tianyi Hall for long.

At noon, Liu Tong escaped in the name of his brother-in-law, the deputy helmsman, and only Li Rui, Zhou Shulin, and Liang He were left in Tianyi Hall.

Their division of labor is quite clear.

Zhou Shulin is responsible for daily affairs during the day.

Liang He is on duty at night.

Li Rui finally lived a retired life of drinking tea and reading books.

Although Tianyi Pavilion does not have many useful techniques, it has a collection of many Taoist classics.

There are a lot of Taoist allusions in White Ape's Sword, some of which Li Rui still barely understands to this day.

Books in ancient times were expensive, with a single copy costing a hundred liters, and more expensive ones even cost several taels of silver.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to be poor in literature and rich in military.

Practicing martial arts costs money, but actually studying also costs a lot.

Now that there are free books to read, Li Rui will certainly not let them go.

"The Qi transforms into the three pure beings, and the physical energy carries the Tao. The source is the innate Taoist lineage, which flows into Laojun's Dharma lineage. There are three Tao, upper, middle and lower. The top is Niwan, the middle is Chicheng, and the bottom is Qihai."

Li Rui flipped through the book.

When you look up again.

Before I knew it, it was already dusk.

"Wonderful!"

Li Rui closed the Taoist scripture in his hand, and some of the sword techniques that he had been confused about before suddenly became clear.

He was also surprised to find out.

When he was reading a book, the White Ape's Knife Breathing Method was running much faster.

He didn't know if Yan Ruyu was in the book, but he could really become stronger!

Zhou Shulin packed rice in a food box and sent it to his home.

Li Rui suddenly realized that this guy Zhou Shulin could also be cultivated.

It's a pity that his position has almost zero power, so he can't do much to help Zhou Shulin.

Finished the meal.

Li Rui started practicing his sword again.

After practicing the White Ape Sword once, he stopped and looked at his arm with a frown. The power of the Xiaoyuan Dan was finally exhausted.

"Go to the medicine hall tomorrow and have a look."

Each branch of the Tiandi Alliance generally has seven halls, namely Wenwu Hall, Zhongyi Hall, Introduction Hall, Discipline Hall, Medicine Hall, Chuanfa Hall, and Tianyi Hall. Of course, in addition to the seven halls, the Tiandi Alliance There are many industries in Qinghe, such as restaurants, brothels, gambling houses, etc.

These places are collectively called venues.

Each venue has a deacon, whose status is equivalent to that of the hall master.

Most of those from the Anbamen who joined the Heaven and Earth Alliance became deacons in charge of the place.

The hall leaders are usually people brought from the headquarters by the helmsman and deputy helmsman, so Tianyitang really doesn't have much to offer, so Li Rui took advantage of it.

In addition to receiving a considerable salary, joining the Tiandi League also has another benefit, which is that the resources are abundant.

For example, when disciples of the Tiandi League buy elixirs in their own pharmacy, the price is at least 20% cheaper than that of Danwangfang, and hall masters like Li Rui can save 30% cheaper.

Over time, a lot of money can be saved.

Li Rui now has a full 130 taels of silver, which is enough for a period of time. The salary of the Tiandi League is still paid monthly, so it can be saved for a few months.

The next morning.

Li Rui showed up at Tianyi Hall and gave a few instructions to Zhou Shulin and Liang He.

Then he went straight to the pharmacy.

Along the way, the disciples of the Tiandi League saw the token with the number "28" engraved on his waist and whispered to each other.

"That old man is the new head of Tianyi Hall. I heard from the Wenwu Hall that he is already seventy."

"Guigui, seventy, older than my grandfather."

"No wonder he can only be the head of Tianyi Hall even though he has been promoted. He is even worse than the deputy head."

"Shh, speak softly."

The Tiandi League disciples tried to lower their voices as much as possible, but Li Rui's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people after practicing breathing techniques. He heard every word of these words.

"That's the disadvantage of being old."

Li Rui smiled and shook his head.

It is said that people become more obedient at the age of sixty. He is already seventy and no longer cares about these things.

Don't despise the poor young

Just follow your own path.
