Evergreen Immortal.

"With the supreme bones in your body, you can attain the path to heaven."

This jade bone realm can only be reached by a very small number of warriors with special physiques.

As it happens, Wu Gu is one of them.

Being able to reach the Jade Bone realm will be of great benefit to subsequent realm climbs, and Li Rui certainly doesn't intend to let it go.

And it doesn't take much time for him.

It's just that the amount of elixirs needed for the jade bones is too much for him now.

"You still have to make money."

Li Rui sighed softly.

There is a saying in the world of Yu State that "wealthy couples are in the right place".

It goes without saying that "wealth" ranks first. Having money can solve more than 90% of the troubles in this world. Running around all day long is not just for a few pieces of silver.

The second "companion" does not only refer to partners, but also includes masters and relatives. With someone in the court, everything will be smooth and there will be someone to lead the way, and many detours can be avoided.

"Dharma" is a skill. A skill that is profound and suitable for oneself can make martial arts training more effective with half the effort.

The last "earth" refers to spiritual soil.

As we all know, if you want to make a magical elixir, in addition to the alchemist's superb alchemy skills, you must also have a magical elixir.

And elixirs only grow on spiritual soil.

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

According to legend, it was a pattern discovered by a medicinal collector.

Herbs with strange effects can be collected in the same place every few years, which are called elixirs.

It is similar to a nest of fungi picked up.

Experienced herb pickers will often take note of these elixir nests, and they will be able to continue to make huge profits.

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

Note, it's soil, not ground.

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

The purpose of those large sects' enclosing land is actually to occupy the spiritual land. The number of spiritual lands of a sect also reflects the sect's heritage to a certain extent.

In order to compete for the spiritual land, these forces often clashed, and bloodshed and death were common.

But this kind of thing has never stopped.

If you want to be strong, you must fight.

But the way of fighting is very particular.

"Master, people like Sun Ming are really nothing. They actually dare to collude with human traffickers and engage in human trafficking. I don't know how many good girls have been harmed by them and sold to brothels."

Liang He said angrily.

In the past few days, he stayed up late looking at the account books, with two 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 too much suffering.

Human traffickers are hateful, but without these people wandering in the underworld, where would the servants of wealthy families and the women in brothels come from?

How can the old man in the government office enjoy himself?

Just human nature.

All Li Rui can do is keep his heart.

Seeing that Li Rui had no reaction, Liang He was a little anxious: "Master, these people not only buy and sell boys and girls, they also sell fake medicines and meat injected with water. And, and..."

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

Young people hate to see such filth.

"And they sell private salt!"

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

"It's really a heinous crime to be private."

"???"

Liang He has a question mark face.

How dare he just listed dozens of crimes, and the hall master just heard about selling illegal salt?

Several days passed.

Liang He thought Hall Master Li would take some action.

No matter what the crime is, at least it can bring some clarity to the black market.

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

Even going out less often.

Liang He was confused.

But he also understood that after operating the black market for so many years, the culprit couldn't be just the little Sun Ming.

It wasn't him, or even Li Rui, who could move him down.

"Is that all there is to it?"

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

"Brother Sun."

Liang He smiled and nodded to Sun Ming.

"I have indeed matured."

Sun Ming was a little flattered. When he handed over the account books, he thought he would be challenged, but he didn't expect anything to happen after a few days.

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

Sun Ming immediately felt relieved.

"Let's just say that no one who can be a deacon is an idiot. Behind the business in the black market is Deputy Director Zhao, the county government boss, and even the boss at the helm."

"How dare a little deacon dare to touch you?"

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

The previous deacon was like this.

"The old man cares about people."

Sun Ming grinned and showed what he thought was a kind smile to Liang He.

When Liang He thought of the sounds he heard in the alley, he felt nauseated and walked a few steps quickly. He really didn't want to see Sun Ming's fat face again.

But this scene fell in Sun Ming's eyes.

"The old man is scared."

You see, his little brother will run away when he sees me.

Sun Ming straightened his back.

"Be careful not to be arrogant and impetuous. I'll give you something some other time. I'm already seventy, so I don't know if it'll be okay. There are two high-quality items in this batch of live goods, but it won't be okay. What if it's Long Yang's good one."

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

As long as you figure out your boss' preferences, you'll be almost done.

The next morning.

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

It was as big as a person's 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 full of gold bars, which looked at least one hundred taels.

One tael of gold equals ten taels of silver.

In other words, there were a full thousand taels of silver in this wooden box!

Li Rui licked his lips: "The black market is really rich."

A small commander could actually take out a thousand taels, even he, the hall master, couldn't take out so much money.

"Bribe me?"

Li Rui smiled and shook his head.

"He's a smart man."

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

Even Li Rui was tempted.

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

He couldn't let a man from Zhao Wei stay by his side.

How could he allow others to sleep soundly beside him?

The issue of stance is a fundamental issue, which cannot be made up by personal skills, just like he never thought of pleasing Zhao Wei.

No matter how much money is spent, it is useless unless he is willing to defect.

But what good end can a traitor have?

So Li Rui's philosophy has always been either not to make enemies, or to kill them once they become enemies.

To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.
