The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 299 Sword Control Technique Upgrade

Baihua Xiu, looking shy and somewhat weak, leaned against Li Jingxiao's chest as she ate the delicacies of the Dragon Palace.

Although he verbally berated Li Jingxiao, he showed no mercy to women.

But secretly, he was delighted.

This at least proves that she is still very attractive to Li Jingxiao.

After dinner, the two inevitably had another competition.

Needless to say, the outcome was that Baihuaxiu suffered a crushing defeat.

Li Jingxiao looked at the lovely girl in his arms, who had finally fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

Satisfied, he embraced the princess, closed his eyes, but his mind was still on the game.

As usual, I commanded my game character to fight monsters in the game.

Surprisingly, I found a copy of "Tong You" and a copy of "Zhi Li".

The term "communication with the netherworld" refers to the ability to communicate with gods and spirits, to understand and perceive the affairs of the netherworld, and to move freely within and outside of hell.

'Disintegration', on the other hand, allows the body parts to be separated without any damage.

It can also recover instantly, without leaving a trace of injury.

Lee Kyung-hyo had previously mastered "The Sequel," and now he has learned "Disintegration."

In the future, even if you are hit by the enemy, you will no longer have to worry about losing your hands or feet.

Moreover, when defending against an enemy, if the enemy slashes at one's body...

When there is no way to avoid it.

Then one can use the "Dissection" technique to actively separate the body, avoid the enemy's attack, and then actively restore the body to its original state.

It can be considered an excellent way to evade attacks.

The next morning.

When he and Baihuaxiu got up early for morning exercise, he accompanied her to practice swordsmanship.

When the princess, accompanied by her personal maid, went to prepare breakfast for her husband...

Only then did Li Jingxiao unleash the supernatural power of "Disintegration" in the training ground within the cave.

With a thought, Li Jingxiao noticed that one of his hands automatically separated.

It flew around him a few times in the training ground before returning to his wrist.

It was proactively restored to its original state.

Li Jingxiao rotated his wrist and five fingers, finding no problems, and then he felt relieved.

Then the arms, legs, and even the entire lower body were separated from the body.

There was still no pain, and not a drop of blood came out.

Moreover, with its limbs separated, it can not only strike but also kick while flying in the air.

They can also retrieve the teacups and weapons.

Li Jingxiao was having so much fun that when he separated his head from his body, his head could actually become invisible.

They flew out of the Wave Moon Cave and were thinking of flying further away.

But Li Jingxiao was always cautious, and after a moment's thought, he returned to his cave.

After restoring everything to normal, Li Jingxiao smiled and went to have breakfast with the princess.

He hugged and kissed the princess, and under her shy gaze, he flew off to the Flowing Sand River.

At noon, sure enough, another flying sword came down from the sky.

They rushed into the Liusha River, dividing it into ten parts, then into millions.

He stabbed at Sha Wujing, who was chained to a bronze pillar.

After watching the whole thing, Li Jingxiao descended from the clouds and landed on a mountain peak, where he sat cross-legged in meditation.

After some quiet practice, he immediately felt that his sword control skills had indeed improved.

I was planning to come over tomorrow to have a few fights with Sha Wujing to gain some experience.

Two golden-armored generals descended from the sky.

One had a ruddy complexion and held a sword, while the other had a dark complexion and held a golden mace.

Li Jingxiao immediately guessed their identities upon seeing them.

He hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "This humble Taoist priest is Li Jingxiao. May I ask if the two divine generals are the Crimson Spirit God and the Black Spirit God?"

When the two generals, Turtle and Snake, saw that he recognized them, they nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"Good insight. We two are here on the orders of Lord Zhenwu to inform you. You must not act recklessly or disregard the laws of Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao immediately understood that his act of secretly observing the punishment of being pierced by ten thousand swords was indeed suspected of being voyeuristic and showing contempt for the Heavenly Court.

As for gambling with Sha Wujing and giving him wine and meat, that's not a problem.

After all, the punishment given by the Jade Emperor did not say that Sha Wujing was forbidden from drinking alcohol and eating meat.

Or they could make him eat vegetarian food and not let him eat meat.

Otherwise, Sha Wujing wouldn't be able to catch and eat a passerby every three to five days.

He sighed inwardly, then quickly bowed and agreed.

Seeing that he agreed so quickly, the two generals, Turtle and Snake, nodded in satisfaction.

He casually tossed out a gleaming golden sword manual.

"This is the swordsmanship insights that the master passed down to you. It is the insights that the master gained when he led the two of us to wipe out the evil demons causing chaos in Beiju Luzhou."

I am sending this to you today. You must use it wisely and never use it for evil.

Otherwise, the master will certainly not forgive you.

Li Jingxiao was overjoyed and bowed down to the sky without hesitation.

The kindness of passing on knowledge and teaching is akin to being given a second life; it is only natural to worship one's teacher.

When the tortoise and snake generals saw him refer to himself as a 'disciple,' they couldn't help but grin.

He thought to himself that this kid was quite clever and might actually become the master's apprentice in the future.

Even if things don't go well, with the kindness of passing on my skills today, I can at least be considered a disciple in name only.

In that case, this kid's seniority will be much higher.

He laughed heartily and was about to return to Heaven to report.

Li Jingxiao hurriedly stopped the two divine generals and took out 1 jars of monkey spirit wine and many spirit dates.

Please have the two of them take it back, saying it's a gift for their teacher.

The two generals, Turtle and Snake, nodded with increasing satisfaction.

Although heaven lacks nothing, Li Jingxiao's intention is more important than what he gives.

Li Jingxiao was actually overjoyed.

Although the True Martial Emperor's swordsmanship manual in my hand is good, it is far less important than the act of bestowing this swordsmanship manual upon me.

From now on, I can be considered a disciple recognized by the True Martial Emperor.

Of course, Li Jingxiao was also well aware that he could not really be considered a direct disciple.

If it's not a direct transmission, then it's not considered a successor.

However, while the pay is relatively lower, the responsibilities are also less, and the degree of freedom is greater.

For Li Jingxiao at this moment, this perfectly aligned with his own thoughts.

He had no desire to become an official in Heaven and serve the Jade Emperor like a beast of burden.

They were even less willing to be bound by the Heavenly Rules.

However, Li Jingxiao thought about it again and realized he was overthinking it.

Many people are willing to be beasts of burden, yet they cannot obtain such a service.

Only someone like him, with connections, would get the benefits but be unwilling to take responsibility.

However, if it's about exorcising demons and monsters, Li Jingxiao would definitely agree without hesitation.

This one point alone would surely satisfy the True Martial Emperor.

Perhaps after Zhenwu the Great saw that he had Baihuaxiu, a human woman, he became entangled with the Dragon Princess of the Dragon Palace again.

He then found an excuse to have the Turtle and Snake generals give him sword techniques as a reminder of his human identity.

After watching the Turtle and Snake generals leave, Li Jingxiao hurriedly put his swordsmanship insights into his inventory. When he clicked to learn them again, countless swordsmanship techniques and insights suddenly flooded his mind.

In just a moment, the max-level sword control technique suddenly transformed.

Sword Control Techniques - Immortal Cultivation Edition - Beginner (1/1000).

Moreover, as he absorbs and understands more and more 'kendo insights', his understanding becomes deeper and deeper.

In just half an hour, he went from beginner to junior proficiency (1/5000).

Before I knew it, an afternoon and an evening had passed.

When Li Jingxiao woke up again.

The Sword Control Technique - Immortal Cultivation Edition has reached the Mastery level (240/5).
Li Jingxiao immediately felt that his understanding of swordsmanship had improved by at least ten times compared to the past.

The level 100 +8 Demon-Slaying Sword on his back suddenly began to vibrate on its own.

It seemed poised to break free from the scabbard's restraints, unsheathe itself, and transform into thousands of flying swords, roaming the heavens and earth.

But Li Jingxiao knew very well that it wasn't that the Demon-Slaying Sword had gained sentience.

Instead, it was when he had just mastered the immortal cultivation version of "Sword Control Technique" and had progressed from beginner to intermediate level, entering the proficiency level.

His entire body was filled with sword intent, and he couldn't control it freely for a while, which affected the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Li Jingxiao closed his eyes again, but only for a short while, after which he calmed down.

The Demon-Slaying Sword on his back also fell silent.

Although Li Jingxiao was excited, he couldn't stop gaining experience.

So I suppressed my excitement, looked at the sky, and saw that the sun was just about to rise.

He decided to continue meditating and practicing the "Sword Control Technique".

Half an hour later, his proficiency level indeed increased by 17.3.

At this moment, Li Jingxiao's cultivation speed increased by 1260% due to the bonuses in his three-dimensional attributes.

Vein width +590%.

He then took out the purple-gold gourd from his waist and drank several large mouthfuls of monkey spirit wine.

Half an hour later, as expected, my proficiency increased by 57.3 points.

Mastery of "Sword Control Technique - Immortal Cultivation Edition" (314.6/5)
If you cultivate for 12 hours a day, you can gain 207.6 points from pure cultivation.

However, if you drink Monkey Spirit Wine, and your level 100 Immortal Longevity Technique is maxed out, you can refine 20 jin of spirit wine.

That's equivalent to an extra 200 points of proficiency.

At this moment, Li Jingxiao wished he could ascend to heaven and beg the True Martial Emperor to impart to him a method of cultivating the Dao.

Upgrade the grade of the Longevity and Immortality Technique.

However, considering that you get about 400 proficiency points a day, you can get 1.2 proficiency points a month.

It only takes four or five months to go from proficient to master.

In this cultivation period, four or five people can break through a realm.

Two or three years later, they will be able to break through to the next level.

If word got out about this speed, it would surely make countless gods and Buddhas green with envy.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the Flowing Sand River.

Sha Wujing looked around and saw Li Jingxiao sitting cross-legged on a cliff. He breathed a sigh of relief and flew away.

He landed next to Li Jingxiao and planted his staff into the rock.

He also sat down cross-legged like Li Jingxiao and spoke to him without any politeness.

"Fellow Daoist, I've been starving for a week. Let's get some food and drink first so I'll have the strength to fight you a few rounds."

Li Jingxiao laughed heartily. Judging from his tone, he could tell that this guy had now developed a friendship with him.

Li Jingxiao didn't mince words. As long as this guy was willing to fight a few rounds with him, everything would be fine.

They took out a whole, slaughtered cow and roasted it over a pile of firewood.

He possesses the supernatural power to control fire; even if he were to shackle an entire ox, he could still control the heat perfectly.

Li Jingxiao only asked for some tenderloin, but the rest of the whole cow was chewed up and swallowed by this guy, meat and bones alike.

After drinking two full jars of strong liquor, Sha Wujing patted his belly, feeling satisfied.

When she looked at Li Jingxiao, there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

It makes sense, considering I just suffered the agony of being pierced by a thousand swords yesterday.

It's perfectly normal to feel grateful for the roast beef and good wine I enjoyed today.

Even for Sha Wujing, this was the lowest point in his life.

At this time, if there are still people who associate with him, fight with him, eat meat and drink with him, then they are true friends in adversity.

It's easy to add flowers to brocade.

Offering help in times of need is even more valuable.

People are also more likely to experience strong emotions during low points in their lives.

Li Jingxiao was also happy to build a good relationship with Sha Wujing.

Of course, the premise is that before joining the pilgrimage team, they are willing to fight alongside you to gain experience.

Otherwise, who would want to spend all their time with a prisoner if there's no benefit to it?
The two chatted for a while, and even talked about martial arts and Taoist magic.

Putting everything else aside, Sha Wujing's skills in the water are indeed much better than his skills on land.

Seeing that Li Jingxiao was interested in this, the guy taught him all the water skills he knew without reservation.

When Li Jingxiao took out the mixed iron and refined gold spear, Sha Wujing was immediately taken aback.

The 60-centimeter-long spearhead gleamed coldly, and the golden dragon scale pattern on the spear body made it even more dazzling.

It looks more powerful than the black gold and silver spear that Li Jingxiao used before.

Sure enough, as soon as the two clashed, Sha Wujing clearly felt that Li Jingxiao's every move was much heavier than before.

They immediately focused all their energy on it.

However, Sha Wujing's strength was ultimately inferior to that of Prince Moang.

No matter how hard he tried, he could only last for thirty moves before he was defeated.

However, Old Sha was more ambitious than Pigsy.

The more he lost, the more he appreciated having someone like Li Jingxiao, whose strength was far superior to his own, to accompany him in martial arts training.

It will greatly help improve one's own abilities.

Moreover, he had just suffered the agony of being pierced by a thousand swords yesterday, and he had nowhere to vent his anger.

So even after losing three matches in a row, he still insisted on having two more matches with Lee Kyung-hyo.

When he was too tired to fight anymore, he waved his hand and said he was done.

Li Jingxiao was secretly overjoyed.

Winning five games in a row equals 50 experience points. Li Jingxiao felt that if this guy played Wuchang with him every day...

Then it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is their biggest financial backer.

However, there is no shortage of sources of experience now.

Sha Wujing, the White Dragon Horse, Prince Moang, Zhu Bajie, and the White Bone Demon.

If you find someone to fight every day of the week, it will take five days.

I'll spend the remaining two days with the Ao Qin and Ao Huiji sisters, so I can have beautiful women by my side.

The two sisters actually have a lot of experience to offer.

As for the evenings, he would still embrace the gentle, beautiful, and virtuous Baihuaxiu.

Moreover, one can also practice the upgraded sword control technique while sleeping at night.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao's life became very regular after that.

The only thing that displeased Li Jingxiao was that Zhu Bajie refused to fight him.

He's either constantly fawning over Gao Cuilan like a dog, or he's off off somewhere having fun.

So much so that Li Jingxiao went to look for him several times, but he was never home.
