The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 264 Cold Iron Golden Bean
Moreover, Li Jingxiao could easily sense that his strength had increased significantly.

It even feels like it has increased by almost 50%.

Previously, each move had the force of four or five thousand catties.

Now that he has transformed into a five-meter-tall giant, a single palm strike should weigh six or seven thousand jin (approximately 3,000-3,000 kg).

The Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar weighs 7200 jin (approximately 1 catties), and its attributes will increase with each subsequent enhancement.

The weight will also increase by 800 jin (400 catties).

Therefore, Li Jingxiao never truly used this divine weapon as his primary weapon in battle.

Now that it has grown to its enormous size, it can finally be used as a divine weapon.

With Dang Kang by his side, they landed on a cliff, where Li Jingxiao maintained a height of over 5 meters.

Take out the towering white jade pillar.

Driven by Li Jingxiao's thoughts, the weapon transformed from a two-meter-long golden-wrapped white jade staff into a gigantic seven-meter-tall staff.

It was just right in Li Jingxiao's hand.

Moreover, when she danced, it was much easier and more agile than before.

At least while maintaining the giant's physique, there won't be a situation where the muscles become sore after just a few movements.

There will be no situation where one's own strength is insufficient to maintain the balance of the white jade staff.

When Kang Yi saw the towering white jade pillar in Li Jingxiao's hand, his heart skipped a beat.

This staff is made entirely of white jade, with golden carved divine iron bands at both ends.

It's obvious at a glance that it must be an extraordinary melee weapon.

He secretly rejoiced that he was imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower.

When Li Jingxiao reprimanded him, he did not use this white jade stick.

Otherwise, you might get seriously injured from just one blow.

They could even be beaten to death with just a few blows.

Li Jingxiao gripped the white jade staff and performed a set of staff techniques.

Although strength and stamina are consumed quite quickly, as long as you consume the red potions in the game...

Maintaining sufficient stamina and strength for an extended period is not a problem.

So he burst into laughter, in a very good mood.

And with his five-meter-tall stature, his voice became several times louder when he laughed.

The laughter sounded like thunder, and could be heard from a great distance.

When the mountain monsters saw his god-like figure, they trembled with fear.

Li Jingxiao had no time to pay attention to these little demons in the mountains. He put away the Sky-Supporting White Jade Staff and returned to his normal human size.

They continued flying back to the capital with Dang Kang on their swords.

Along the way, Kang would occasionally tell Li Jingxiao all about his experiences and insights from cultivating the "Giant Transformation Technique" throughout his life.

Li Jingxiao listened attentively, nodding occasionally, and knew that this wild boar monster was very clever.

Since they've passed on their best skills and special abilities to me, I might as well go all the way and do a good deed.

He passed on all his life experiences to himself.

In that time, the returns will be even greater.

Li Jingxiao did indeed feel more favorably toward Dang Kang after thinking about it in his heart.

I focused my attention on my inventory, hesitating for a while between level 40 and level 50 equipment.

In the end, I decided to give the boar monster a set of level 30 bronze armor and a bronze helmet.

A giant axe, a rhinoceros horn bow, and a pair of Wind Chaser boots that increase speed by 20%.

As for the necklace and ring in the game, Li Jingxiao was reluctant to give them away.

It's also impossible to give this wild boar monster a treasure that can increase physical constitution, comprehension, and magical power.

Even a level 20 necklace and two level 20 rings can increase spell power by a combined 50%.

The more Li Jingxiao thought about the necklace and ring in the game, the more he felt they were like divine artifacts.

The level 90 Five-Colored Exquisite Ring increases spell power by 50% and grants +10 to Constitution.
Two rings increase spell power by 100% and provide 20 points of constitution.

The level 90 Four Spirits Guardian Necklace increases spell power by 60% and grants +10 to Comprehension.

It also grants a +30% increase to mana regeneration speed.

Unfortunately, even after reaching level 90, I haven't been able to find any level 90 weapons.

Fortunately, the level 80 +6 Demon-Slaying Sword is also very powerful and useful.

With the addition of the towering white jade pillar, its attack power is off the charts.

A few blows and he could knock down the Dragon King of Tianchi and Shuten-dōji.

This was because Li Jingxiao's strength was insufficient before, and he did not unleash the true power of this weapon.

Otherwise, one blow might be enough to smash the head of Shuten-dōji or the Heavenly Lake Dragon.

However, level 90 shoes and helmets have been released.

Level 90 Moonwalking Boots, Speed ​​+55%.

Level 90 Seven Treasures Lotus Crown, spell resistance +55%.

When Kang Gang was released, let alone weapons.

The clothes he was wearing were ordinary Taoist robes that Taoist priests wear every day.

Now he put on a bronze helmet, bronze armor, long boots, and a large axe.

I finally started to look like a general, and suddenly I felt very imposing.

Moreover, this outfit would make a better impression on his superior if he went to see the 'City God' Liang Guangyuan.

He couldn't help but thank Li Jingxiao repeatedly.
-
As they were talking, they arrived in the capital and immediately landed invisibly outside the City God Temple.

After revealing their figures, soldiers immediately went to inform the City God and the civil and military judges.

After some courtesy.

Out of respect for Li Jingxiao, Liang Guangyuan was quite satisfied with Dang Kang.

In terms of sheer strength, this wild boar monster would rank at least in the top five within the city god system of the capital.

They might even make it into the top three.

After all, not all gods and immortals are good at fighting.

Some of the high-ranking officials in the underworld had never cultivated during their lifetimes.

Of the four judges, only Zhong Kui is truly formidable.

The other three, Wei Zheng and Cui Jue, were both civil officials during their lifetimes.

Although Judge Lu has some skills, he is not like Zhong Kui, who is a professional demon-slaying general.

Their combat skills are indeed relatively weak.

Therefore, the City God was quite satisfied with Kang Dang's arrival.

In addition, Li Jingxiao owed a huge favor, so his gains were even greater.

However, since it's an employment position serving the underworld, there are bound to be various means of control.

Kang also realized that neither the underworld nor the City God would easily trust him.

Even Li Jingxiao worries that after gaining his freedom, he will soon fall back into depravity.

So when I joined the company, I went to the underworld with Judge Wu.

As for the methods the underworld uses to control its subordinates...

Even if Li Jingxiao were stupid, he wouldn't ask such a question.

After watching Judge Wu take Dang Kang to the underworld, Li Jingxiao chatted with Liang Guangyuan and Judge Wei for a while before getting up to say goodbye and go home.

Li Jingxiao's life returned to normal once again.

Besides playing with his wives and concubines every day, he would spend his mornings grinding for experience points, and then go home for lunch before meditating and cultivating.

While beating up Shuten-dōji and the Dragon King of Tianchi, the two demons were still quite resentful of Li Jingxiao.

Therefore, the two monsters were eager to fight Li Jingxiao every day.

To give them enough confidence, Li Jingxiao didn't even take away the weapons and magical artifacts of the two demons for the time being.

However, Li Jingxiao also understood that he would wait until the two monsters lost miserably.

Moreover, he loses every day, losing three to five games each day.

Before long, the two of them will be just like Dang Kang, the three flower fairies, and the Crimson Serpent, losing so badly that they have no confidence in winning.

With this mindset, anyone would hate competing with Li Jingxiao.

Then it turns into a one-sided beating. As the beating continues, either they completely give up.

Li Jingxiao has now come to his senses.

With the Demon-Sealing Tower in place, every day you imprison any demon, you gain an extra day's worth of experience.

It's better to gain more experience than to kill all the powerful demons in a single blow every time you fight them.

The three flower fairies are now truly obedient.

They no longer mentioned following Li Jingxiao or serving by his side.

Every time Li Jingxiao went up to the third floor, the three female demons would obediently cooperate with him in three battles.

It's a bit like how Hu Xian'er and Liu Cuitong were forced to play chess by him back then; it's the same mentality.

Since we're going to lose anyway, let's lose faster.

Let's lose cleanly.

To avoid angering Li Jingxiao and getting beaten up by him again.

They were even beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen, or their hair, clothes, and faces were burned and turned completely black.

Li Jingxiao was holding back; he only used the "Flame Spit" technique to spew out ordinary flames.

If you use the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, the five-colored flames will burn, and monsters like flower fairies or tree fairies are most afraid of fire.

If things go wrong, Li Jingxiao could burn you to death with his five-colored flames.

The red-banded snake was the most worry-free; Li Jingxiao would always use the purple-gold-green gourd to collect the poisonous mist.

Then I went up and started hitting.

However, Li Jingxiao also knew in his heart that if it came to who hated him the most, the Red-banded Serpent would definitely be number one.
-
The day after imprisoning Shuten-dōji, Li Jingxiao spent some time gaining experience at Maoshan.

Instead of flying directly back to the capital, they went to the Dongting Dragon Palace.

The Old Dragon King learned that his cousin had been imprisoned in the Maoshan Demon-Locking Tower by Li Jingxiao.

His face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly ordered his eldest prince to instruct people to prepare a banquet.

Then I thought of informing my cousin, Jiang Boyan.

But Li Jingxiao wouldn't wait in the Dragon Palace for five or six hours like last time.

I'd rather come back tomorrow after I've gained some experience.

It's better to make others wait for you than to wait for others yourself.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the old Dragon King hurriedly stepped forward and took Li Jingxiao's hand.

"Please wait a moment, Master. My daughter, Qingqing, has recently made progress in martial arts and has been wanting to ask you for further instruction."

Please, Master, for Xiao Wang's sake, give me just a little guidance.

Li Jingxiao wasn't stupid; he could easily see that the old Dragon King was using a "honey trap."

Moreover, if he were to consummate his marriage with Ao Qingqing, he would be considered a generation inferior to the old Dragon King.

At that time, he won't be calling himself "the real person" or referring to himself as "Little Wang".

Rather, it's my son-in-law and me. Perhaps if something happens in the Dragon Palace, we'll even think about getting something for free.

Just to test the Dragon Girl's charm, he suffered such a loss; no matter how Li Jingxiao calculated it, he felt it was a bad deal.

If Li Jingxiao really wanted to have an interspecies exchange with the Dragon Girl, he thought it would be better to go find Hu Xian'er and Liu Cuitong.

Having known each other for so long, we already know each other inside and out.

Seeing that Li Jingxiao was unmoved, the old Dragon King became anxious.

Helplessly, he said, "Master, recently I have had people conduct a lot of research, using cold iron mixed with gold, silver and copper."

They created a few more powerful golden beans, capable of summoning the Yellow Turban Warriors.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but laugh.

This means that when the honey trap failed, they resorted to bribery.

However, Li Jingxiao does have a preference for "Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers" and the Yellow Turban Warriors.

This is a warrior who is fearless of death, skilled in martial arts, and extremely loyal.

Although they were cannon fodder, they were actually quite useful.

Moreover, as long as you have enough mana and gold beans, you can summon infinitely.

The defeated Yellow Turban warriors were not actually dead.

Instead, the vessel that summons them, the golden bean, has a limit to the amount of external force it can withstand.

The golden bean shattered, and a wisp of the Yellow Turban Warrior's soul returned to Heaven.

This allows for continuous, cyclical summoning.

The Yellow Turban Warriors that were summoned might even be a group of Yellow Turban Warriors who were stationed under the command of the True Martial Emperor.

Li Jingxiao was already acquainted with many of the Yellow Turban warriors.

Recently, the ones summoned have mostly been the same few dozen or a hundred.

The alloy of cold iron, gold, silver, and copper, is obviously capable of withstanding higher levels of external force.

Perhaps it will absorb even more mana.

The Yellow Turban warriors summoned were naturally even stronger.

Li Jingxiao naturally became interested.

The old Dragon King hurriedly ordered someone to fetch a plate containing over a hundred cold iron gold beans.

Li Jingxiao put them all into his inventory, then took one out and poured magic power into the Cold Iron Golden Bean.

As expected, the Cold Iron Golden Bean absorbed even more mana.

Judging from appearances alone, the summoned golden-armored warriors are not only taller, but their golden armor is also more robust, and their defensive capabilities are certainly stronger.

The Yellow Turban Warrior himself said that his strength was now at least 50% greater than before.

He even reached out and tapped the golden armor on his body with his fingers, saying that the armor's defensive capabilities were much stronger.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but give the Dragon King of Dongting a thumbs up.

The old Dragon King was startled by the golden-armored warrior.

Although the Yellow Turban Warriors could speak and possessed wisdom.

But it's rare to see a golden-armored warrior who looks like an ordinary person.

The old Dragon King couldn't help but wonder to himself, why is it that no matter what kind of magic or supernatural power it is, it becomes more powerful than others in Li Jingxiao's hands?
Unfortunately, no matter how hard I racked my brains, I couldn't figure it out. I could only marvel at Li Jingxiao's talent, which was truly unparalleled.

But Li Jingxiao knew very well that this was all thanks to the necklace and ring from the game.

With a wave of his hand, the golden-armored warrior returned to the Heavenly Court, and the cold iron bean flew back into his hand on its own.

Li Jingxiao said directly to the Dragon King, "Dragon King, I would like 1 of these Cold Iron Golden Beans."

Consider this payment for helping your cousin capture and imprison the great Japanese demon who fought alongside the Dragon King of Tianchi against him in the Maoshan Demon-Locking Tower.

The old Dragon King and the eldest prince were taken aback, then their faces lit up with joy.

I never expected to get a buy-one-get-one-free deal. I'm sure Jiang Boyan will be very happy when he finds out.

Then the Cold Iron wouldn't need to come from the Dongting Dragon Palace anymore; Jiang Boyan must have already collected quite a bit of Cold Iron.

So the Dragon King and his son nodded after only a few seconds of thought.

He then looked troubled and said, "Master, this cold iron is much harder than gold and silver, and it is much more difficult to engrave the 'Great Strength Talisman' on the cold iron alloy."

It would take at least two or three months to produce 10,000.

How about that every 10 days from now on, the real person comes to my Dongting Dragon Palace?

"Take the finished Cold Iron Golden Beans with you, and while you're at it, teach Little Wang's daughter some martial arts, shall we?"

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes at the old Dragon King, who was trying to create opportunities for his daughter to spend time with him.

Li Jingxiao shook his head helplessly and said bluntly, "The Dragon Lord should know that I already have two wives and concubines?"

This is practically saying outright that even if he gets together with your daughter, he can't give her the status of a legal wife.

But to everyone's surprise, the old Dragon King didn't care at all.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. My daughter just admires you."

We are already beings who have transcended the mundane world.

How can we be bound by worldly rules?

All you need to do is visit my Dongting Dragon Palace often and take a look at Qingqing.

If my daughter has any children in the future, she can certainly raise them with me, her maternal grandfather.
