The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 245 Business Comes to the Door: The Essence of Ren Water
Li Jingxiao stood on a hilltop, gazing at the sky.

Although the sky is clear today, there are quite a few clouds. It's a good time to test the attack range of the new "Samadhi Divine Wind".

He took a deep breath, opened his mouth and exhaled, and a fierce wind immediately swept through the air.

Gusts of hurricane winds scattered the clouds in the sky.

Moreover, even though the target wasn't the ground, the scattered hurricanes still caused everything within a radius of several miles to sway trees violently and send rocks and sand flying.

It was like the prelude to a torrential downpour.

Once the hurricane subsides, there will be no rain for miles around.

The sky was clear and cloudless.

Immediately, a large amount of sand and dust was swept into the sky, covering an area of ​​several miles and several hundred meters in height, all of which was yellow dust.

Upon seeing this, Li Jingxiao burst into laughter.

Although it is far less powerful than the Yellow Wind Monster in Journey to the West, whose single gust of wind could darken the heavens and earth and terrify ghosts and gods.

But it's also much more powerful than before.

If this were to encounter the zombie horde from Nanling again, a single, forceful breath would surely reduce a large number of low- to mid-level zombies to mere skeletons.

Even your skeleton will be blown into bone dust and scattered by the wind.

Upon thinking of this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Moreover, after practicing the two supernatural powers for seven days, Li Jingxiao had begun to realize that the flying sand and stones were one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers.

This thing wasn't passed down by the Taoist patriarch of Heaven; I could never have learned it.

I'm extremely satisfied with this deal.

Then he took another deep breath, but this time the divine wind that blew out was much slower.

Soon, the dust that filled the sky around Maoshan was blown away by Li Jingxiao.

The old Taoist Xuanming looked at him with deep envy.

Then came joy.

The stronger Li Jingxiao is, the stronger Maoshan's fighting power will be.

After Li Jingxiao and the Taoist Xuanming returned to Maoshan, Li Jingxiao was in a very good mood.

Looking around at the Maoshan disciples, he found everyone agreeable.

They brought out over a hundred jars of monkey spirit wine, along with over a hundred catties of spirit dates and over a hundred sheep.

He casually handed it over to the two elders who had previously protected him.

He said he wanted to treat everyone to a good drink.

At first, the two elders and a dozen disciples didn't realize that the spirit wine and spirit dates were good things.

Upon approaching and smelling the spiritual energy emanating from the jujubes, the Taoist priests exclaimed in surprise.

He bowed to Li Jingxiao.

The hundred or so kilograms of jujubes alone are of extraordinary significance to Maoshan.

Although it is no longer of much use to the elders and elite disciples.

But for new disciples and those who have only been disciples for three to five years, this thing is a treasure.

Eating a dozen or even dozens of these pills will inevitably raise your cultivation level by one or two levels in a short period of time.

This greatly enhances the strength of the next generation and the generation after that of the Maoshan disciples.

As these two generations of disciples grow up, Maoshan will inevitably produce more elites, and even elders.

Even the sect leader can use Monkey Spirit Wine.

For a moment, Li Jingxiao was satisfied.

Everyone on Maoshan Mountain was extremely satisfied.

At noon, Maoshan held a grand banquet.

Li Jingxiao, the sect leader, and a dozen elders all drank until they were seven-tenths drunk before the party ended.

Maoshan had prepared a superior room for him, but Li Jingxiao hadn't been home for seven or eight days.

They refused to stay.

Besides, Maoshan is good in every way, except that it doesn't have many female disciples.

Li Jingxiao's biggest flaw is that he can't live without women.

His beautiful wife and concubines at home were waiting for him to go back to plow the fields and loosen the soil; he had no time to waste on the mountain with a group of old and middle-aged Taoist priests.

With a slight sway, he rode the clouds towards Jinling.

Master Xuanming hurriedly instructed his disciples to see him off, but as soon as the disciples agreed, Li Jingxiao was nowhere to be seen.

The elders laughed and said, "It's alright, given Jingyou's cultivation level."

Anyone who crosses him is truly cursed.

As for security, even if all of us old bones were put together, we probably couldn't break through his defensive magic.

Otherwise, if you want to force that Eight-Armed Demon into seclusion, being highly skilled in martial arts alone won't be enough.

Moreover, I discovered a few days ago that the demon had actually woken up.

He continued his seclusion, but he was too intimidated by Jing You to fight him again, lest he lose too many times and disrupt his mental state.

Master Xuanming thought for a moment and then quickly nodded.

In terms of martial arts alone, the Eight-Armed Demon is indeed extremely formidable.

To fight him, one must not only be skilled in martial arts, but also have strong defensive capabilities.

But there are demons like the Eight-Armed Demon who increase their strength through battle.

It's hard to say whether he'll be in a state of mental turmoil if someone is beating him down.

If you lose too many times, you'll definitely go crazy.

But if he has already entered a berserk state, he will either kill his opponent or die from exhaustion.

Considering Li Jingxiao's supernatural powers of having three heads and six arms, it's normal that he could terrify the eight-armed demon.

If Li Jingxiao finds out about this, he'll definitely go to the Demon-Sealing Tower and kill that guy.

In his eyes, a demon who cannot provide him with experience or benefits is not worth living.
-
Although Li Jingxiao was seven-tenths drunk, he was still quite sober.

Maoshan is very close to Jinling, and in a short while we were over Jinling.

But before he could descend on the auspicious cloud, someone in the distance shouted, "Is that Master Li ahead?"

Li Jingxiao was taken aback, and then became on guard.

The Golden Wheel of the Sun instantly appeared in his palm, ready to defend itself should anything happen.

Fortunately, the visitor was someone we knew. The Dragon King of Dongting was dressed in a dragon robe and bowed respectfully from afar.

Upon seeing this, Li Jingxiao returned the greeting.

Then he asked with a smile, "Why does the old Dragon King have time to come to Jinling City instead of enjoying blessings in the Dragon Palace?"

The old Dragon King smiled and waved his hand: "Please don't make fun of me, Master. I was asked by someone to ask for your help."

Li Jingxiao immediately sobered up a bit, and with a quick thought, he said, "Then please come to my humble abode for a cup of tea, Lord Dragon, and we can discuss this further."

The old Dragon King nodded hurriedly. Being invited to his home meant that Li Jingxiao considered him a good friend.

The two descended from auspicious clouds and landed in the front yard of Li Garden.

When the servants saw their master return, they hurriedly instructed the old woman to inform the two ladies.

Then I noticed that the Dragon King was not only dressed in a magnificent dragon robe, but also had a rather strange appearance.

Then Li Jingxiao said, "My humble abode is simple and unadorned; please do not laugh at it, Dragon Lord."

The Dragon King had already noticed the layout of Li Garden, with its exotic flowers, strange rocks, pavilions, and towers, when he descended the clouds from the sky.

It's obvious at a glance that it's an excellent Jiangnan-style courtyard.

He waved his hand with a smile and praised the courtyard highly.

However, compared to the prosperity and extravagance of the Dragon Palace, Jinling Li Garden is far inferior.

Fortunately, although Lee Kyung-hyo likes fine clothes, gourmet food, beautiful women, and mansions.

However, they would not excessively pursue extreme luxury, which is why they never thought of decorating their home to be more luxurious than the Dragon Palace.

The two then entered the second gate together and went to the main hall of the central courtyard to take their seats as host and guest.

One of the servants in the front yard then muttered, "The master just said that person was the Dragon Lord?" The others nodded in disbelief.

Suddenly someone exclaimed, "This is the Dragon King! No wonder the eldest sons of the Wang and Xue families often tell people that their masters are honored guests of the Dragon King."

For a moment, the chatter in the front yard became chaotic, but no one dared to make a loud noise.

They began to discuss the matter in hushed tones, their faces filled with excitement and surprise.

Li Jingxiao ignored everything and led the Dragon King into the main hall, instructing the maids to serve him fine tea.

A moment later, Li Jingxiao's ears twitched.

Footsteps could be heard from afar, coming from the fourth courtyard.

Upon closer listening, one could discern the footsteps of Keqing, Yuanchun, and others.

As the maidservant brought over the finest Yuhua tea, Li Jingxiao could faintly hear the soft voices of Qin Keqing and the others coming from the side hall of the main hall.

Before long, Wang Xifeng, following Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun's instructions, led several maids to deliver more than a dozen kinds of fine Nanjing pastries.

Moreover, the craftsmanship was extremely exquisite, so much so that even the Dragon King praised it.

However, Li Jingxiao also knew that making these pastries was indeed very labor-intensive and costly.

Yuan Chun and Wang Xifeng came from wealthy families. Although they didn't care about the most extravagant things they ate or used, they could never lose face or dignity as members of the Xingguo Duke's Mansion.

As a result, Qin Keqing, who used to be frugal, is now influenced by Yuan Chun and Wang Xifeng.

They've started to care about making a big show of things.

Li Jingxiao didn't care about these things; after all, he could earn money much faster than the women in his family could waste it.

If you have a lot of gold and silver but don't use it, then you're really no different from a lump of iron.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao also discovered that simply indulging in extravagance in food and daily necessities would only cost a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver more each year.

This amount of money is nothing compared to the silver embezzled by the entire Jia family.

Seeing the flirtatious look in Wang Xifeng's eyes, Li Jingxiao knew that he had been away from home for nearly ten days, even though they had only been married for a few days.

Not only are they worried about themselves, but they must also miss them terribly.

He smiled and nodded to Wang Xifeng, saying, "Go and tell the two ladies that the Dragon King of Dongting Lake is visiting today, and instruct the kitchen to prepare carefully."

I want to have a good drink with the Dragon Lord.

So that I won't be too embarrassed to visit the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake next time.

The old Dragon King laughed heartily and exchanged a few polite words.

Wang Xifeng nodded hurriedly and bowed to Li Jingxiao and the Dragon King.

As he walked out, he thought to himself, "No wonder this person looks so strange."

It turns out to be the real Dragon King.

Thinking about it this way, it suddenly seems that the more I look at it, the more it resembles the dragon in the painting.

He hurried into the side hall and spoke quietly with Qin Keqing, Yuan Chun, and the others.

The women became increasingly excited as they listened; had they not covered their mouths, they would have already gasped out.

But for Li Jingxiao and the Dragon King, even if they lowered their voices, they could still hear each other very clearly.

Hearing only exclamations and some discussion, Li Jingxiao didn't say anything to remind them.

Moreover, judging from the old Dragon King's appearance, he seemed to enjoy the praise and admiration of others.

After drinking tea and eating some snacks, the old Dragon King finally began to talk about serious matters.

Moreover, before getting down to business, the old Dragon King was quite sensible and took out an extremely exquisite gold box inlaid with red, blue, and green gemstones, and placed it on the table.

Then he said, "The Master mentioned Xiao Wang's good-for-nothing cousin before, who was sent to Japan by the Master."

After Xiao Wang's cousin found out, he made a special trip to Japan a few days ago.

I want to capture that wicked creature and bring him back to be punished.

Unexpectedly, that wicked creature colluded with several demons from Japan and injured Xiao Wang's cousin.

This time, I am asking for your help at the request of my cousin.

Either capture him, or eliminate that wicked creature directly.

Li Jingxiao could understand Long Jun's cousin.

In this society with its strict rules and etiquette, it is considered a heinous crime punishable by heaven and earth for a son to beat his father.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time the old Dragon King's cousin had been beaten by his son.

I heard the old Dragon King mention it back when I was in the Dragon Palace of Dongting.

Back then, that old mudfish from Tianchi injured his father and fled beyond the Great Wall.

Anyone would be utterly disappointed after being beaten twice by their own son.

Li Jingxiao thought for a moment and then nodded.

However, he won't go to Japan right away.

I'm earning a lot of experience every day now, and I'm leveling up very quickly.

Once you reach level 90, then you can start fighting the new bosses that appear in the game.

Even just getting a level 90 weapon can significantly boost your strength.

If you add armor, hats, shoes, and jewelry, then you might unleash some magical powers.

Or a powerful magic weapon would be even safer.

So Li Jingxiao made an excuse that he had been staying at Maoshan recently to assist the sect leader and elders in handling some important matters.

For the time being, it is not possible to travel thousands of miles to Japan.

So if I can wait, I will go to Japan again in a month or two.

Upon hearing this, the old Dragon King immediately assumed that a powerful demon had appeared and was causing trouble again.

Think back to the zombie general and flying zombies, a dozen hairy zombies, and thousands of ordinary zombies that wreaked havoc in Nanling.

Li Jingxiao handled everything by himself.

This time, however, he said he was assisting the leader of Maoshan and a dozen elders, which must be even more serious than the zombie problem in Nanling.

Let's get down to business.

Even if we have to wait a year or two, or even three to five years, it's fine.

As for leading his men to capture the Dragon King of Tianchi, the old Dragon King of Dongting knew very well that he was not even as strong as his cousin.

Bringing people along would only cause trouble for yourself.

Moreover, since my cousin escaped with his injuries, he certainly wouldn't have the guts to go back again.

So as long as Li Jingxiao agrees, all that's left is to wait.

In any case, although Li Jingxiao's prices are high, his reputation is excellent.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, even if he can't handle it on his own, he can still seek help from Maoshan.

He managed to persuade the headmaster of Maoshan and a dozen elders to join him.

Let's go to Japan together. Not to mention a few powerful demons and that evil dragon, we could even wipe out the entire country without any problem.

Thinking of this, the Dragon King of Dongting pushed the golden box on the table in front of Li Jingxiao.

"Master, this is the essence of Ren water. It can not only preserve youth, but also heal any injury and even bring the dead back to life."

Li Jingxiao immediately became interested upon hearing this.

He picked up the gold box and carefully examined the three drops of Ren water essence inside, which looked like crystals.

I picked one up and smelled it; soon, a burst of spiritual energy rushed into my nose.

He immediately sensed an unusual movement in the internal energy within his body.

Li Jingxiao was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, he put the essence of Ren water in his hand into his inventory.

Commanding the game character, I took the essence of Ren water to the pharmacy in the game.

I put it in the trading section to make sure it's not poison and has no side effects.

Then he threw it into his mouth.

Just a few seconds after swallowing it, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly erupted. Li Jingxiao quickly used his Longevity Technique to absorb this spiritual energy.
