The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 326 Silencing
Upon inquiry, I learned that the Bodhisattva had given a sermon a few days ago, in which he discussed the "Five Elements Escape Technique," one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Transformations.

Li Jingxiao only listened for three days and actually learned all five types of escape techniques: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Now, not only Pigsy and Sandy, but even Sun Wukong was incredibly envious.

Although the monkey knows a few of the Heavenly Transformations, he is most proficient in the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations.

Even though one can master the profound aspects of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, they are actually quite formidable.

However, in a true comparison, the changes of the Heavenly Gang are indeed more powerful than those of the Earthly Fiends.

Otherwise, Sun Wukong wouldn't have been restrained by so many magical powers and techniques.

Putting everything else aside, if he could also perform "Whip Mountain and Move Stones"...

If you had met Silver Horn on Lotus Mountain, you wouldn't have been hindered by Mount Sumeru, Mount Tai, and Mount Emei.

He was so badly injured that he vomited blood, and he couldn't move at all.

If it weren't for his indestructible body, he would have been crushed into mincemeat long ago.

Li Jingxiao transformed into a stream of water and headed straight for the cave in the water.

Upon reaching the main gate, I simply slipped through the gap.

The monkeys and their companions arrived outside the cave and began shouting and cursing.

The Great King of Inspiration is now just like Golden Horn and Silver Horn back then.

Whenever someone wanted to eat Tang Sanzang, someone would shout and curse outside the door.

He was extremely annoyed by the disturbance.

But if you avoid battle and don't come out, the monkey won't waste time talking to you and will break down the cave gate and storm in.

Moreover, this time, the monkeys' side not only had five members, but each of them was also a skilled fighter.

Moreover, once Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire is ignited...

The river water not only cannot be extinguished, but will instead burn even more fiercely.

Previously, when the monkey encountered Red Boy, he asked the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas for help.

However, the rain poured down by the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas could not extinguish this Samadhi True Fire.

Instead, it fueled the fire, making it even more intense.

So Red Boy was outside the door at that moment, speaking to Sun Wukong and the others.

After Li Jingxiao rescued Tang Sanzang, he was simply ordered to set the entire cave ablaze.

The monkey and Pigsy loathed the Great King of Inspiration, so they not only did not oppose him, but also...

On the contrary, they were happy to be relaxed.

But when the Great King of Inspiration led three hundred lesser demons out of his cave to meet the enemy...

Suddenly, a red light appeared in the cave.

Just as I was wondering about it, I saw that red light, as if it had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil.

With a loud 'boom,' it suddenly burst into flames, roaring outwards.

"Oh no!" the monkey cried out. "Pigsy, Sandy, Muzha, run! This is Samadhi Fire!"

Sun Wukong is not afraid of the Samadhi True Fire, but he and the other two, including Pigsy, are not.

In an instant, he flashed out of the Tongtian River and looked down from the high sky.

At this moment, the Tongtian River was ablaze with intense heat, its surface a blazing red.

First, the area within a few miles, and then the area within a dozen miles, was all boiled up by the Samadhi True Fire.

The river water was like hot oil, and the fire burned brighter and brighter.

Before long, even Sun Wukong and Red Boy rushed out of the Tongtian River.

Looking terrified, he hovered in the air, observing the situation in the river.

At this moment, Li Jingxiao's mind was filled with a dense barrage of notifications promising increased experience.

Wait for the prompts in your mind to increase your experience, or decrease it.

At this moment, Li Jingxiao, who looked like a man of fire, was holding onto Tang Sanzang, who was wrapped in the golden wheel of the sun.

With a "whoosh," it burst out of the boundless flames.

He casually tossed Tang Sanzang to Sun Wukong, while he himself hovered in the air.

Take a deep breath, looking downwards.

In the Tongtian River, countless Samadhi True Fires were sucked into his belly like a dragon sucking water within a dozen seconds.

Fortunately, he was still in his fire form, so the countless flames could not harm him.

Instead, his body emitted scorching heat, and within seconds, the air around Li Jingxiao's body was distorted by the heat.

Seeing this, Pigsy, Sandy, and Muzha couldn't help but retreat several hundred meters again.

Looking at Li Jingxiao, one could see envy mixed with deep admiration.

Red Boy's gaze towards Li Jingxiao was inevitably tinged with jealousy.

I spent three hundred years cultivating at Flaming Mountain before I learned the Samadhi Fire.

But Li Jingxiao, in at most half a year, seems to have already surpassed himself in the cultivation of this supernatural power.

Now that he has also learned the Fire Escape technique from the Five Elements Escape Techniques, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

Not only is the flame more powerful, but it can also be controlled freely.

It would be strange if I wasn't envious.

However, after feeling envious, I also felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, we made up with this guy, and our relationship is even better than before.

Otherwise, the thought of him having his eye on him would make Red Boy a little scared.

Then, Li Jingxiao exhaled a puff of black smoke and returned to human form from his flame state.

Then a chain flew off his wrist.

It plunged straight down.

A short while later, the two monsters, who had bound a man and a woman, flew back.

Sun Wukong, Pigsy, and Sandy immediately recognized him as the Great King Linggan.

Muzha immediately recognized that this guy was actually a koi fish in the pond of the temple where the Bodhisattva often preached on Mount Putuo.

My heart skipped a beat; what if the monkey found out?

They'll definitely go to Mount Putuo and cause trouble for the Bodhisattva.

He flew over to Li Jingxiao's side and whispered a few words to him.

Li Jingxiao feigned surprise and looked at Muzha.

Mu Zha nodded very affirmatively.

Li Jingxiao immediately looked troubled, frowning and thinking for a few seconds.

He took out the exquisite purple-gold gourd and put the koi fish into it.

The other fish demon, a female fairy, opened her mouth and spat out a 'Wind and Thunder' from the Five Thunders of the Divine Firmament.

In an instant, the fish demon was electrocuted into charcoal, and its body quickly disappeared into ashes.

When Muzha saw this fish demon, even his soul was cleaved away.

Then I felt relieved.

Then, Li Jingxiao used the Samadhi True Fire to burn all the monsters in the cave in the Tongtian River to death.

Instead of blaming Li Jingxiao for being too ruthless, she secretly rejoiced.

If they're all dead, then no one will leak the secret.

As for Li Jingxiao, since he had already killed someone to silence them, he naturally wouldn't mention the true identity of the Great King of Inspiration to Sun Wukong.

However, the monkey, pig, sand, and red boy are not stupid.

Muzha whispered a few words in Li Jingxiao's ear, and Li Jingxiao killed him to silence him.

There must be some secret here that no one knows.

The monkey immediately handed Tang Sanzang over to Sha Wujing for protection.

He and Lao Zhu flashed to Li Jingxiao's side.

She asked with a smile, "Brother, what good news is there? You can't keep it from your brother."

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes at the monkey, before the old pig could speak.

He then said to the old pig, "Brother Pig, I'm giving you ten jars of 'Immortal's Intoxication' and a thousand taels of silver."

How about I provide you with some wine, meat, and food for your journey west?

Pigsy immediately knew that this was a reward for bribing him.

Just as he was about to haggle, Li Jingxiao raised his stakes.

"Twenty jars and three thousand taels of silver, or forget it." Old Pig chuckled; one tael of silver could buy at least a hundred or two steamed buns.

Three thousand taels is enough to feed myself for seventy or eighty years.

Nodding, he ignored the monkey and flew to Sha Wujing's side.

They led Tang Sanzang ashore and waited.

Seeing this, the monkey couldn't help but point at Pigsy and start cursing.

Then, with a quick glint in her eyes, she said with a smile, "Brother, I won't take too much, thirty jars, how about that?"

Li Jingxiao nodded without hesitation, "Okay, when you go out to find vegetarian meals for Elder Tang one of your days."

As long as I'm home, or in the home of any of my other "concubines," the Great Sage will guarantee you good food and drink whenever he comes over.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong chuckled.

On the journey to the West, he was the one who did most of the work of begging for alms for Tang Sanzang.

But sometimes when the monkey goes out, it takes an hour before it comes back.

At his speed, nobody would believe it would really take him two whole hours to get the vegetarian meal.

It must have been under the guise of begging for alms that he ran off to find friends to eat and drink with, and then brought back a golden bowl of vegetarian food to Tang Sanzang.

Moreover, the vegetarian meal in this golden bowl was enough for Tang Sanzang to eat his fill, and what was left was for Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

No wonder Pigsy couldn't stand the sight of Monkey King the whole way.

In the original story, Pigsy didn't have much money, which is why he was unwilling to take on the mission.

But in this world, Pigsy is very rich.

Although tens of thousands of taels were spent on the fox spirits at the Fox Fairy Courtyard.

But Li Jingxiao did business with him several times, and he received at least tens of thousands of taels of silver from him.

However, before leaving Gao Laozhuang, this guy hid most of the silver in Fuling Mountain and Yunzhan Cave.

I thought that the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures would only take two or three years.

But now two years have passed, and we've only gone less than a fifth of the way.

He had already spent almost all of the several hundred taels of silver he brought with him on food and drink.

At this moment, Old Pig only had three or five taels of loose silver on him, which he hid in his ear.

Upon hearing that Li Jingxiao would give him three thousand taels, Pigsy immediately became satisfied.

Muzha had also drunk the Immortal's Intoxication wine these past few days and knew that it was excellent.

Moreover, according to Li Jingxiao, the brewing process is quite difficult, so the quantity is very small.

Muzha, the Black Bear Spirit, and Red Boy didn't doubt it at all when they heard this.

After all, in their eyes, the better something is, the harder it is to obtain.

Li Jingxiao deliberately artificially inflated the perceived value of 'Immortal's Intoxication'.

Otherwise, if the supply were open.

As long as you have enough in-game currency, you can buy unlimited amounts of Jade Dew Wine, Spirit Recovery Wine, Immortal's Intoxication, and Herbal Spirit Brew in the game.

So Li Jingxiao paid with 50 jars of Immortal's Intoxication to shut Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie up.

In Muzha's eyes, it was an enormous sacrifice.

His fondness for Li Jingxiao exploded instantly.

Li Jingxiao did this, naturally, to impress the Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva taught me several Heavenly Transformation Techniques, which, frankly, was also a way of asking me to do things for him.

As for when a huge crisis suddenly breaks out.

If he can help, Li Jingxiao will certainly continue to help the Bodhisattva.

But if it involves life and death, then I'm sorry.

Li Jingxiao's priority is definitely self-preservation.

At this moment, Red Boy ran over, looked at Muzha, and asked, "Senior Brother?"

Mu Zha shook his head, "Let's talk about it when we get back to Mount Putuo."

Red Boy nodded, knowing that it might involve the Bodhisattva, and then stopped asking questions.

The three of them went ashore and greeted Tang Sanzang, whose face was somewhat pale.

Tang Sanzang's gratitude towards Li Jingxiao deepened at this moment.

But the fear and dread in their eyes were even deeper.

The truth is that every time Li Jingxiao saves him, he inevitably kills all the demons.

In Tang Sanzang's eyes, this method was far too cruel.

He showed absolutely no pity, but you can't reason with someone like Tang Sanzang.

It's better to make him fear you and be afraid of you, so that he will listen to you properly.

Moreover, Tang Sanzang was a bully at home, and when talking to the monkey, he would nag and nag, telling him what not to do and what not to do.

But when facing outsiders, she is incredibly polite.

Moreover, the more vicious a person was, the more polite Tang Sanzang was to them.

Since Li Jingxiao knew what kind of person Tang Seng was, he naturally didn't care what Tang Seng thought.

Most of the time they ignore each other, and when they meet, they exchange at most a few polite words.

So he whispered a few words to the monkey, pig, and sand, telling them to come over for a drink whenever they had time.

He then reminisced with his third brother-in-law, the White Dragon Horse.

Together with Muzha and Hong Hai'er, they bowed to the monkey and the others.

They flew back to Mount Putuo.

Upon arriving at Luojia Mountain, Muzha hurriedly went to report to the Bodhisattva.

After a while, the Bodhisattva, dressed in casual home clothes and with a somewhat pale face, came out.

Upon seeing the Bodhisattva's appearance, Li Jingxiao immediately realized that something was amiss with the Bodhisattva.

It might be related to cultivation practices.

But he didn't ask any questions, and instead took out the purple-gold gourd.

Facing the lotus pond, I opened the lid and poured out the koi.

Upon seeing this, the Bodhisattva sighed and said, "This humble monk has neglected to discipline this wicked child, who dared to descend to the mortal realm to commit evil."

"I must thank you for your quick thinking, which saved this humble monk's face."

Li Jingxiao hurriedly waved his hand, "The Bodhisattva has shown me great kindness, and I, your disciple, will naturally serve the Bodhisattva."

The Bodhisattva nodded in satisfaction, said a few words, and then made an excuse to return to the temple.

Not only was Li Jingxiao relieved, but Muzha and Hong Haier also breathed a sigh of relief.

He pulled Li Jingxiao aside and said they should have a good drink together.

Li Jingxiao chuckled and glanced at the character's level as he walked.

From level 127 (632 million/940 million)
Level 128 (892 million/960 million)
Upon arriving at the Purple Bamboo Forest, they got Muzha, Red Boy, and the Black Bear Spirit drunk.

It immediately leveled up to level 129 (14/980).
Add two attribute points to Comprehension.

体质260、根骨261+28、悟性99+14
At this point, simply practicing will yield 60.5 points of proficiency per hour.

There's only one level left to reach level 130.

Li Jingxiao was naturally unwilling to leave and continued to linger on Mount Putuo.

Every day he either goes out to drink and fight with the Black Bear Spirit, Muzha, and Red Boy.

He would accompany his three wives to practice martial arts, and at night he would practice the "Divine Night Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method".

Moreover, the Bodhisattva learned that he had been practicing thunder magic recently.

He even gave a special lecture on thunder magic, and the Bodhisattva actually knew the Taiqing and Shangqing thunder magic.

The cultivation level is extremely high.

Therefore, the proficiency of "Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method" continued to increase by +100+100 as the Bodhisattva preached.

After only three days of lectures, the investment reached 1/20.
It has risen to Dacheng - (9/20)
It was more than ten times faster than my own cultivation speed.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao wished that the Bodhisattva would give a short lecture every three days and a long lecture every ten days.

Unfortunately, the Bodhisattva's sermons depend entirely on his mood.

According to Muzha, sometimes it happens once every three to five years, and sometimes once every ten to eight years.

He certainly hadn't experienced an example like preaching three times in just two months.

It is evident that the Bodhisattva truly held Li Jingxiao in high regard.
