The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 317 Laozi's Preaching
Seeing the awkward smile on Li Jingxiao's face, Lao Jun knew that talking to him about alchemy had indeed put a junior like him in a difficult position.

She smiled and changed the subject to cultivation.

He even asked Li Jingxiao what Taoist magic and supernatural powers he had learned.

Aside from the game cheat, Li Jingxiao basically revealed all his cultivation levels this time.

Of course, while we're talking about it, we need to distinguish which points are important and which are just mentioned in passing.

Li Jingxiao knew perfectly well what was going on.

Therefore, he mainly focused on improving his skills in sword control, lightning magic, and Everlasting Spring Technique.

It was no secret that he possessed sword control, thunder magic, Samadhi Divine Wind, and Samadhi True Fire.

Li Jingxiao actually wanted to obtain a genuine cultivation technique from Laozi.

Ideally, it should be of the pure Yang type, since both the "Eternal Youth Skill" and the "Pure Yang Eternal Youth Skill" are pure Yang attribute techniques.

The true energy cultivated is also pure yang true energy.

But Laozi did not impart any Taoist teachings or supernatural powers to him.

After listening to Li Jingxiao's introduction of his cultivation method, he thought for a moment and then explained it to him.

Li Jingxiao was overjoyed and quickly sat down cross-legged.

This is the Taoist Ancestor in the Journey to the West world. There are very few people in the whole world who have the opportunity to listen to his teachings.

Listen, listen.

Li Jingxiao quickly realized that Laozi was talking about the way of the sword.

In "Sword Control Techniques - Immortal Cultivation Edition", I easily upgraded from the Great Master level to the Grandmaster level.

Moreover, their proficiency continued to rise steadily.

It only stopped when it reached the Grandmaster level (31/40).

This saved Li Jingxiao at least one or two years of cultivation time.

Lao Jun could also sense that Li Jingxiao's sword intent was becoming increasingly fierce.

I know that this kid not only listened, but also gained his own insights and understanding.

His talent for the secret passage is indeed extraordinary.

Teachers love students like him the most, who can understand what they're told.

So I originally just intended to give a casual talk, as a way to establish a connection with Laozi.

I couldn't help but want to see just how talented Li Jingxiao really was.

Seeing that Li Jingxiao had not yet woken up, he simply closed his eyes as well, pondering what he would say later.

Seeing this, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn standing to the side were filled with envy, wishing they could take their place.

Immediately, the two brothers felt relieved that they hadn't made things difficult for Li Jingxiao earlier.

There are very few people in the entire Heavenly Court who have received a personal lecture from Laozi.

When they looked at Li Jingxiao again, their gaze was different.

An hour later, Li Jingxiao woke up feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

Just as she was looking at Laozi with eyes full of gratitude, she saw Laozi nod with a smile.

After Li Jingxiao bowed deeply in thanks, he surprisingly didn't send him away.

Instead, she smiled and started talking again.

Li Jingxiao was overjoyed, thinking to himself that his opportunity had arrived.

I quickly focused my attention and continued listening.

It will be released soon; this is about thunder magic.

Unbeknownst to them, the game's skill bar contained three thunder techniques: "Lightning Thunder Fist," "Shangqing Divine Thunder Technique," and "Five Thunder Orthodox Method."

Continuous overlap and rehearsal.

Finally, the +7 Five Directions Five Thunder Beads appeared out of thin air.

Five lightning beads crackled and emitted five-colored lightning, constantly impacting Li Jingxiao's body.

The three lightning magic skills in the skill bar gradually overlapped and merged into a new lightning magic.

The Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method.

Of course, the "Lightning Thunder Fist", "Shangqing Divine Thunder Technique" and "Five Thunder Orthodox Method" did not disappear.

The new Thunder Magic, starting from the basics, saw its proficiency skyrocket with Laozi's continuous explanations.

He only stopped when he completed the "Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method" (1/20).

At this moment, Li Jingxiao's body was flashing with five-colored lightning, and the +7 Five Directions Five Thunder Pearl absorbed the five-colored lightning from Li Jingxiao's body instead.

Not to mention Golden Horn and Silver Horn, even Laozi was somewhat surprised.

He secretly realized that what he had been talking about was merely the Taiqing Thunder Technique.

The commotion this kid is causing seems to be exceeding expectations.
Fortunately, Laozi had a keen eye and quickly discerned the thunderous aura emanating from Li Jingxiao.

The beginnings of the Shangqing School's thunder magic and the Five Thunder Orthodox Method can be vaguely discerned.

He was immediately startled, thinking to himself that this kid's talent was truly amazing.

It actually combines the Shangqing, Taiqing Thunder Method, and Five Thunder Orthodox Method, and also has five thunder pearls.

He independently developed a new technique that combined the advantages of two different schools of thunder magic.

Even Laozi would consider this talent extremely rare.

Since that's the case, let's just grant this kid's wish.

With a wave of his whisk, Laozi sent out more than a dozen pieces of shimmering precious materials from the treasury of the Tushita Palace, which flew to Li Jingxiao's side.

These materials actively integrated into the Five Thunder Pearl, which was continuously absorbing the five-colored thunder from Li Jingxiao's body.

In just a short while, the grade of the +7 Five Directions Five Thunder Pearl continued to improve.

Finally, it was successfully upgraded to the grade of a Celestial Artifact.

Even from Laozi's perspective as a master craftsman, this treasure would be considered a powerful lightning-type magic weapon.

Fu Hu nodded in satisfaction.

With a casual wave of his whisk, Li Jingxiao appeared at the South Heavenly Gate.

Laozi had originally planned to teach Li Jingxiao some more about the pure yang immortal techniques.

But seeing the five thunder pearls that had changed their appearance, he thought to himself that this kid had gained such a great benefit.

If I were to continue preaching to him, it would make me appear as the Daoist patriarch, transmitting the teachings too casually and cheaply.

At least we should assign this kid some tasks in the future, and then pass on new Taoist techniques to him once he has made some contributions.

The Heavenly King of Growth and Marshals Pang, Liu, Gou, Bi, Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao, who are located inside the South Heavenly Gate.

There are also hundreds of divine generals.

Seeing Li Jingxiao appear out of nowhere, he was about to question him.

But then a talisman from the Tushita Palace appeared out of thin air and floated down.

The leader, the Heavenly King of Growth, respectfully accepted the talisman and confirmed Li Jingxiao's identity.

When he looked at Li Jingxiao again, his eyes were different.

He wondered to himself, what is so special about this kid that he has won Laozi's favor?
Li Jingxiao slowly opened his eyes and saw more than a dozen golden-armored marshals and hundreds of golden-armored generals staring at him.

I was immediately startled.

Fortunately, I soon saw the large characters on the South Heavenly Gate, and then I realized that I was at the South Heavenly Gate.

He hurriedly stood up and bowed to the Heavenly King of Growth and the others.

The Heavenly King and the others returned the greeting politely. After some questioning, they learned that this kid had taken over Kui Mulang's cave.

They set fire to Yellow Wind Cave again and captured the rogue cultivator from the lower realm who was the Yellow Wind Great Sage.

However, now that Li Jingxiao has gained Laozi's favor, he is no longer a rogue cultivator with no foundation.

The Heavenly King and others treated Li Jingxiao as if he were a disciple of Laozi.

After all, having received the teachings from Laozi, they were indebted to him for imparting his skills.

Even Lee Kyung-hyo himself couldn't deny this kindness.

Of course, unless he has something wrong with his head, he would not deny it.

On the contrary, they were eager to spread the word that they were the ones who listened to the lectures in the Tushita Palace.

When you lack the strength, it's perfectly normal to seek a powerful backer.

And the backer that Li Jingxiao found is one of the top figures in the Heavenly Court, so there's no denying that.

It's a pity that he couldn't become Laozi's disciple directly.

Otherwise, his status would have instantly risen from a rootless rogue cultivator to a 'second-generation immortal' in the Daoist sect.

In the future, even if we encounter the patriarch Zhenwu Emperor, we can call him "Senior Brother".

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

After greeting the Heavenly King and the others, Li Jingxiao put away the Five Thunder Pearls and crossed the South Heavenly Gate back to the Wave Moon Cave.

The sword control technique is already at the Grandmaster level (31/40).

The +7 Five Directions Thunder Beads have also been upgraded to Immortal Artifact level. The power of thunder magic has increased by 185%.
Lightning attack +142.

风雷+102、火雷+102、山雷+102、水雷+102、土雷+102。

For a period of time afterward, Li Jingxiao stayed at home in seclusion to cultivate his spiritual practice.

Twenty hours of daily cultivation, plus the added benefit of Peach Blossom Immortal Wine.

You can gain 1150 proficiency points in a day.

However, less than a month later, when his sword control technique reached the Grandmaster level (34.3/40), he was able to achieve the same level.

A maidservant then reported that two boys had come to the cave.

He said he was an old friend of the master and had important business to discuss with him.

Upon hearing that there were two boys, Li Jingxiao quickly guessed that they were Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

He rushed out of the pass and personally greeted them upon exiting the Wave Moon Cave.

He even summoned Baihuaxiu to meet him.

Upon seeing Baihuaxiu, Jinjiao and Yinjiao quickly stood up and bowed.

When Baihuaxiu heard that the two were attendants of Laozi, she treated Jinjiao and Yinjiao with great courtesy.

After some pleasantries, Baihua Xiu realized that the three of them had something to discuss.

So he took the initiative to get up and prepare the banquet.

After exchanging a few polite words, Jinjiao and Yinjiao readily agreed to the drinking arrangement.

After Baihuaxiu left, Li Jingxiao learned that the two brothers had come to his door on Laozi's orders to deliver the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill to Sun Wukong.

Li Jingxiao immediately realized that after the westward-bound group passed Pingdingshan, the next challenge would be the Kingdom of Wuji.

This ordeal was actually not dangerous at all; Li Jingxiao even thought that the lion demon from Wuji Kingdom was just there to make up the numbers.

Moreover, this guy was a eunuch, who had been impersonating the king for many years.

It's one thing to avoid touching the queen.

But despite having so many beautiful women in the palace, he didn't touch a single one of them.

This puzzled Li Jingxiao.

However, in order to save the real king, the monkey actually ran to the Tushita Palace.

Asking Laozi for the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to save a mortal king is indeed a waste of talent.

What is the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir?

Not only can it bring the dead back to life, but if an old pig eats one, it will become immortal and can immediately ascend to become an immortal.

If he had been given this, Li Jingxiao thought he would definitely have eaten it.

But after a few seconds of silence, I still felt that I probably wouldn't eat it.

The cultivation gained through elixirs is definitely not as strong as the strength cultivated through one's own efforts.

And if you think about it a little, this might be a test that Laozi (the founder of Taoism) is giving himself.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao suppressed his thoughts.

After receiving a Nine-Turn Golden Pill from Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

I had a good drink with the two brothers and got 30 experience points from them.

The original plan was to have a strongman in golden armor carry the two brothers, who were completely drunk, to their guest room to rest.

But then I thought, these two brothers actually gave me a perfect excuse to go to the Heavenly Court.

We'll stay at the South Heavenly Gate and block Sun Wukong.

He ordered the golden-armored warriors to carry the two drunkards up to the Heavenly Court.

When they arrived at the South Heavenly Gate, they met the Heavenly King of Growth.

Li Jingxiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This humble Taoist greets the Heavenly King. I humbly request that the Heavenly King grant me this favor."

After saying that, she pulled the Heavenly King aside and whispered something to him.

Today, Jinjiao and Yinjiao went to visit their own family.

I didn't want to have a pleasant conversation, so I drank a bit too much.

They were just worried about being punished by Laozi, and also afraid of ruining the jobs of Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

The only option was to take the two brothers back to Heaven and wait for them to sober up at the South Heavenly Gate.

Upon hearing this, the King of Growth almost rolled his eyes.

No idiot would believe such nonsense.

But Li Jingxiao took out 'Immortal's Intoxication' and said with a smile, "Your Majesty does not know, but this humble Taoist priest brewed his own spiritual wine, which is called 'Immortal's Intoxication'."

"Send this to the Heavenly King to try, and he will know how potent this wine is."

This piqued the King of Growth's curiosity and sparked his desire to give it a try.

Since it dares to call immortals drunk, it must have something extraordinary about it.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao had no reason to deceive himself.

Therefore, the Heavenly King of Growth not only left Li Jingxiao at the South Heavenly Gate to look after the two drunkards, Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

She even smiled and pulled him to sit in the pavilion behind the gate to drink and chat.

Sure enough, not long after, Sun Wukong, who always only went through the South Heavenly Gate, arrived.

Upon entering the South Heavenly Gate, one immediately sees Li Jingxiao drinking with the Heavenly King of Growth.

He stopped abruptly and appeared in the pavilion in a flash.

Smiling, he asked Li Jingxiao, "Brother, why aren't you enjoying yourself in the Wave Moon Cave? Why have you come to this Heavenly Palace?"

Li Jingxiao pretended to be surprised and hurriedly greeted Sun Wukong.

Then he said that last month, he went to the Tushita Palace to return Laozi's banana leaf fan.

He gained Laozi's favor and was personally instructed to preach.

He then reconciled with Golden Horn and Silver Horn with a smile.

Today I hosted a banquet for the two brothers, but they both drank too much and ended up with the "Immortal's Drunkenness" drink.

He was so drunk he was unconscious.

Only then were the two sent back to Heaven, where they sobered up at the South Heavenly Gate.

When Sun Wukong heard Laozi preach, he was indeed somewhat envious.

But upon hearing about the Immortal's Drunkenness, his mind immediately became entirely focused on the wine.

He greeted his old acquaintance, the Heavenly King of Growth, and sat down, addressing Li Jingxiao.

"Brother, it's been so long since we last met, how about we have a drink?"

Li Jingxiao and the Heavenly King of Growth immediately knew that the monkey was definitely suffering from a drinking problem.

Li Jingxiao naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The Heavenly King of Growth immediately felt reassured about Li Jingxiao because Sun Wukong and Li Jingxiao had become sworn brothers.

Monkeys may seem carefree, but they are actually quite cunning.

To be able to be brothers with him, one must not only be capable, but also have excellent character.

Li Jingxiao didn't mind inviting the Heavenly King of Growth to have a few more drinks.

This not only provides another source of experience.

The Heavenly King of Growth has three brothers, and the four brothers may visit the Wave Moon Cave from time to time in the future.

Customers who offer a buy-one-get-three-free deal definitely deserve to be well-maintained.

He then took out another top-grade jade wine cup, which he had looted from the Heavenly Pool Dragon Palace years ago.

He picked up the wine jar and poured three cups.

Then, smiling, he raised his cup and said, "Heavenly King, Great Sage, drink this cup to the brim."

The monkey picked up the wine glass with a smile and drank it. The three of them clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Upon tasting it, the King of Growth thought to himself, "Good wine!"

At this moment, he also realized that, besides its excellent taste, this "Immortal's Intoxication" was also delicious.

It can even eliminate negative physical conditions.

He immediately had the idea of ​​exchanging with Li Jingxiao, or even buying a few jars of Immortal's Intoxication.

Unless Li Jingxiao is stupid, he won't refuse.

As for giving it away for free.

If the two have just met, giving the gift directly would put the Heavenly King of Growth in a difficult position.

Therefore, exchanging things you need is the most normal thing to do.

Upon seeing that Li Jingxiao had agreed, the Heavenly King of Growth quickly stood up and said, "Wait a moment."

Hurriedly heading to his immortal abode, Li Jingxiao took the opportunity to look at Sun Wukong and ask him a question.

"Great Sage, what brings you to the Heavenly Court?"
