The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 288 Pigsy Taking the Initiative to Do Business

If these little demons weren't careful, they could be struck by the lightning generated by the Five Directions Five Thunder Pearls.

The body will then convulse and become paralyzed.

Then Li Jingxiao stepped forward with his spear and pierced his head with a single thrust.

Or you might get swept away by a single shot, your head blown off.

The notification sounds kept echoing in my mind: add one thousand, add three thousand.

Occasionally, there are notifications of +2 or +3.

When only a hundred or so lesser demons remained, some of them couldn't resist running away.

With a thought, Li Jingxiao drew the Demon-Slaying Sword from his back.

One becomes two, two becomes four.

Four changes, hundreds and thousands.

One after another, flying swords whistled and pierced through the fleeing little demons.

Within a range of several hundred meters, it moved back and forth, killing all the lesser demons in just a few dozen breaths.

Although I earned a total of 61 experience points.
Level 100 (101.8 million/400 million)
But for Li Jingxiao, these three hundred lesser demons were still too few.

If it were the Yellow Wind King, who occupied the Yellow Wind Ridge, which stretched for eight hundred miles, and had several thousand men under his command.

Unlike the Yellow Robe Monster Kui Mulang, who only has so few subordinates.

There are even more monsters in Lion Camel Ridge, at least seventy or eighty thousand.

After killing all the lesser demons, Li Jingxiao looked up and saw Pigsy and the Yellow Robe Monster.

At that moment, they were engaged in a fierce battle on a hill dozens of miles away, and a smile crept onto his lips.

He used a spell to burrow into the ground.

Sneaking past stealthily, he suddenly jumped out from behind the Yellow Robe Monster.

Holding up the towering white jade pillar, he struck it down with the stick.

To Li Jingxiao's surprise, he struck down with the stick.

It hit the yellow-robed monster squarely on the head, right where he had been hit a few days ago.

With a clang, the yellow-robed monster suddenly felt dizzy.

This was only because Li Jingxiao didn't want to kill him.

Otherwise, this blow would have definitely left him with a bloody head.

However, Kui Mulang was a wolf demon who had attained enlightenment, and his wolf head was very hard, something Li Jingxiao experienced firsthand.

Two blows from the stick only made him dizzy, but no bumps appeared on his head.

Seeing this, the old pig was not about to let such an opportunity pass, and raised his rake to strike.

The yellow-robed monster suddenly let out a strange cry, his black eyes widened, and he shouted "Freeze!" at Pigsy.

In an instant, he immobilized the old pig and then vanished in a gust of wind.

While the immobilization spell is powerful, it also has significant flaws.

Pigsy was only frozen for two seconds before breaking free of the spell.

Seeing the yellow-robed monster escape, and realizing he had almost suffered another loss, he couldn't help but curse loudly.

As Li Jingxiao struck the Yellow Robe Monster with his staff and sent him fleeing, the notification sound of +16 experience points naturally rang in his mind.

However, seeing that the guy has been hit again, even if he comes back for revenge, it will probably take him several days to recover.

Li Jingxiao sighed in frustration, thinking to himself, "The Demon-Locking Tower is still the best."

Once the demons are trapped, they'll come knocking on your door every day.

Even if the demon that gets beaten is likely to become withdrawn, the short-term gains are extremely high.

After offering a few words of comfort to Pigsy, Li Jingxiao said with a smile, "Brother Pig, now that the old demon has escaped, we can take this opportunity to plunder his cave."

The gold and silver found shall be divided equally, half for each person.

If you can bring tens of thousands of taels of silver back to Gao Village, I don't believe that Old Master Gao would refuse to marry his daughter to you.

If that still doesn't work, you can have my share too, as a wedding gift for you.

Pigsy's eyes lit up and a bright smile appeared on his face.

He pulled Li Jingxiao and rushed into the Boyue Cave.

The two split up and searched the place, and surprisingly, they actually found quite a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Li Jingxiao didn't embezzle this time either, since he wasn't short of money anyway.

It's definitely worth it to use money to win over Old Pig; tens of thousands of taels would be a very good deal.

Just because Li Jingxiao wasn't greedy doesn't mean that Zhu Bajie was as honest as him.

Li Jingxiao looked at the several hundred taels of silver that Old Pig had scavenged.

The four treasure chests he found contained a total of 5 taels of silver.

He rolled his eyes at Pigsy.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu knew that Li Jingxiao had seen through his little trick.

He gave an awkward laugh and quickly tried to save face.

"Oh dear, my brother is truly blessed to have found so much money."

Next time we team up, let my brother do the searching himself.

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes again, but then went along with it and didn't say anything more.

The two split the money on the spot, and one went back to Gao Laozhuang.

One returned to Baoxiang Kingdom.

Moreover, Pigsy was thinking to himself, "I already have fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver."

If he needs help to marry Cuilan, that would be too shameful.

So they didn't mention asking Li Jingxiao for help at all.

Return to Baoxiang Kingdom.

The king and princess were quite pleased to hear that the yellow-robed monster had lost again.

But when Li Jingxiao continued, he learned that the old demon had escaped again, and he quickly exclaimed that it was a pity.

King Baoxiang was now even more unwilling to let Li Jingxiao go.

Since Li Jingxiao had nowhere else to go, he simply stayed in Baoxiang Kingdom.

He spends every day having sweet nothings with the princess.

You can earn another five or six thousand experience points.

Although it wasn't much, Li Jingxiao was indeed becoming increasingly satisfied with the princess.

Not only does it make her feel comfortable, but it also makes her emit a floral fragrance when she gets warm.

Then, besides practicing martial arts himself, he taught the princess martial arts.

She was probably a fairy maiden serving incense in the Heavenly Court's Fragrant Palace in her previous life; she could be considered a female immortal no matter what.

So although he was reincarnated, he was exceptionally gifted.

When Li Jingxiao taught her the complete version of the Nine Yin Manual, she mastered it extremely quickly.

Moreover, he probably knows that the person he loves will likely continue to travel in the future.

Therefore, they were extremely enthusiastic when practicing internal energy cultivation techniques and lightness skills.

In just a few days, Spiral Nine Shadows had achieved some initial success.

When he moved, he could create three afterimages, which astonished not only the maids but also the palace guards.

The king and queen were very surprised and delighted that she had achieved such success in her cultivation so quickly.

At the same time, she was very satisfied that Li Jingxiao was willing to teach the princess such a profound skill.

Li Jingxiao also took some time these past few days to visit Yingchoujian in Shepanshan.

After shouting and cursing in the mountain stream for a while, the little white dragon had probably been pondering things over the past few days.

I feel like I'm capable again.

So when he heard the shouts and curses, he jumped out of the ravine, drew his sword, and started fighting with Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao was secretly pleased, so he didn't go all out this time.

He fought with the little white dragon for half an hour before finally winning.

This led the White Dragon to mistakenly believe that his years of secluded cultivation had indeed yielded progress.

Moreover, this guy isn't stupid; he senses that Li Jingxiao is a worthy opponent.

Not only can it alleviate the boredom and frustration of being trapped here, it will also benefit one's martial arts skills.

Therefore, he kept quiet about compensating Li Jingxiao for the horse.

If you lose, run away and hide in the mountain stream to continue practicing diligently.

Suddenly, life wasn't so hard for Little White Dragon anymore.

Li Jingxiao gained 6 experience points and returned to Baoxiang Kingdom.

The next day, he went to find Pigsy again, only to find that Pigsy had changed drastically.

Not only did he buy 800 mu of fertile land in the village next to Gao Laozhuang, but he also became a landlord.

He had even hired a matchmaker and was planning to go to Gaojiazhuang to propose marriage. When Li Jingxiao came to visit, his face, though smiling, was dark and wrinkled.

After everyone had settled down and exchanged pleasantries, Old Pig leaned over and whispered something.

“Brother, I’ve made some inquiries these past few days. It turns out there are quite a few demons ruling over the mountains within a thousand miles around here.”

"Brother, if you have some free time, how about we brothers do another business deal?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao immediately felt that he had corrupted Lao Zhu.

Fortunately, Pigsy was indeed deeply in love with Gao Cuilan; otherwise, if he had run away, Guanyin Bodhisattva might have come to him to ask him to join the pilgrimage team.

If I can't find the person, they might blame me.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao forgot that Lao Zhu had previously mentioned that he had a mortal enemy.

So the business that Pigsy mentioned was nothing more than dragging Li Jingxiao along to take revenge.

They also robbed him while they were at it.

However, even if Li Jingxiao knew, he wouldn't care.

Upon hearing that Zhu Bajie wanted to do another deal, Li Jingxiao naturally wouldn't refuse.

The old monster, Old Pig, goes to fight, while I deal with the little monsters and gain experience.

However, Li Jingxiao had already mistakenly believed that Old Pig wanted to deal with Black Bear Spirit, Yellow Wind Great Sage, and others.

That black bear spirit is highly skilled in martial arts; even if Pigsy and I joined forces, we might not be a match for it.

Moreover, the black bear doesn't have many subordinates.

You won't gain much experience by fighting him.

If he were to fight the Black Bear Demon one-on-one, he would most likely lose.

The Black Bear Spirit is preceded by the White Dragon, so Pigsy doesn't need to intervene.

As for the Five Elements Mountain, Li Jingxiao would be a fool to go looking for Sun Wukong.

To the west of Gao Lao Zhuang is Huang Feng Ling, where Huang Feng Da Sheng's martial arts skills are not very good.

But even Sun Wukong couldn't withstand the authentic Samadhi Wind.

With my small arms and legs, going up there would be suicide.

Behind Huang Fengling are Sha Wujing, Wuzhuang Temple, White Bone Demon, and Yellow Robe Monster.

Behind the Yellow Robe Monster are Golden Horn and Silver Horn, the Lion Spirit of Wuji Kingdom, Red Boy, and the Three Demons of Chechi Kingdom.

So after much deliberation, Li Jingxiao still felt that the White Bone Demon, the Lion Demon, and the three demons of Chechi were the most suitable.

However, the monsters in these three places are not very strong.

The lion spirit of Wuji Kingdom is utterly useless.

Both being mounts of Manjushri Bodhisattva, they are completely incomparable to the lion demon of Lion Camel Ridge.

As Li Jingxiao was thinking, Zhu Bajie said to himself, "Don't worry, brother, I've already found out."

North of Fuling Mountain is Snake Ridge Mountain, where a snake demon lives, but he's not very powerful.

But I heard he's quite wealthy.

Li Jingxiao was taken aback at first, then stared at Lao Zhu with a strange look in his eyes.

Pigsy, stared at like that, soon began to look away.

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes at the old pig. Since it was a monster from north of Fuling Mountain, how could the old pig say he didn't recognize it?

Li Jingxiao didn't believe that there might even have been conflicts before.

Perhaps when Pigsy was a monster in Fuling Mountain, he had already fought with that snake demon a few times.

Not only did they have a grudge, but they also kept inquiring about the other party's information, which led them to be certain that the snake demon was rich.

Then Li Jingxiao remembered that Lao Zhu had said he had an enemy.

However, this is also a good thing for Lee Kyung-hyo.

But if we let Zhu Bajie off so easily, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause in the future.

It's even possible that they might end up hurting themselves.

So Li Jingxiao didn't say anything, picked up his teacup, covered his head, and drank tea.

This immediately embarrassed Pigsy.

With a quick glance, he stood up with a smile.

He cupped his hands in a deep bow to Li Jingxiao.

Direct compensation is not an option.

Then he said, "Brother, that snake demon is bullying us too much."

Back then, I was in Fuling Mountain when I was chosen as a husband by Sister Mao.

The couple loved each other dearly and had some savings, so they lived a very happy life.

But that snake demon was greedy and shameless, and had long coveted Second Sister's family fortune.

Seeing that my second sister had chosen me as her husband, and relying on her large number of followers, she took advantage of my weakness and that my second sister and I were outnumbered and came to cause trouble every few days.

Less than a year later, he beat his second sister so badly that she died.

This forced me to live a life of hardship in the mountains and fields, and to find wild fruits and wild animals to fill my stomach.

Even after rescuing Miss Gao, he only dared to disguise himself as this dark-skinned man and hide in Gao Village to live out his days.

Now that my virtuous brother has helped me, I will naturally avenge the murder of my wife.

After hearing this, Li Jingxiao didn't believe a single word.

According to some explanations I read in my previous life, Sister Mao was most likely tortured to death by Old Pig.

He even used a brutal fighting tactic to drain his life force, causing him to die.

Moreover, when Zhu Bajie was a monster, he wasn't a good person at all.

He robbed and ate people, becoming a bandit, until he became a son-in-law and his family settled down.

But then I thought, what does this have to do with me?
Pigsy wanted to rob the snake demon, but he also set his sights on the snake demon and his minions.

So only after Lao Zhu repeatedly begged and apologized did he pretend to have calmed down and agree.

Pigsy was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the servants in the manor to prepare wine and food.

Once the food and wine were served, Li Jingxiao asked with a smile, "Let's see who can drink the most today. The loser will have to listen to the other person when they go to cause trouble for that snake demon in the future."

Old Pig wanted to refuse as soon as he heard it, but then he thought about it again.

So what if we lose?

If the young Taoist priest is right, then we should listen to him.

If what they say is wrong, then I won't listen.

Then, with a quick glance around his eyes, he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. But since we're making a bet, why don't you bring out some good wine, brother?"

Otherwise, drinking rustic country wine would be utterly tasteless.

As long as Li Jingxiao could gain experience, he didn't care about Lao Zhu's little schemes.

Take out four jars of liquor from your inventory.

This wine is much stronger than the previous Dukang wine.

The two drank and drank, finishing just two jars.

Old Pig blushed, and his tongue trembled as he spoke.

Li Jingxiao took out two more jars, and these two jars were the secondhand wine that he had just poured into his mouth and put directly into his inventory.

More or less, it still has some of my own saliva on it.

But then I thought, damn it, I'm making that old pig drink my own saliva.

Instead of disgusting him, I disgusted myself.

So I quickly changed it.

After drinking the third jar, Pigsy really couldn't take it anymore.

He simply admitted defeat and refused to drink anymore.

In Li Jingxiao's mind, a notification of +12 experience points immediately rang out.

Level 100 (137 million/400 million)
He casually picked up the guy and threw him onto the bed in the bedroom.

Lee Kyung-hyo thoughtfully stayed in the hall and released a silencing note onto the bedroom door.

He meditated for an hour to make sure that the old pig hadn't turned into a wild boar demon before flying back to Baoxiang Kingdom.

He went off to be all lovey-dovey with the princess.

Incidentally, he used his telescope to observe Snake Ridge Mountain, north of Fuling Mountain, for quite a while.

And I must say, Snake Ridge Mountain is indeed a treacherous place.

The serpent demon's lair was hidden inside a mountain.

It's easy to overlook if you don't look closely.

Unfortunately, the all-seeing eye is not X-ray vision, so it is difficult to see what is inside the mountain.

But Pigsy said that this snake demon was not only quite skilled, but also had many subordinates.

The reason he and Sister Mao couldn't win was because this snake demon always brought seven or eight hundred subordinates with her.
