The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 347 The treatment of a personal disciple is indeed different.

Li Jingxiao recently refined a batch of seven fifth-stage golden pills, which, despite his deliberate concealment, can increase lifespan by 100 years.

This made Laozi very satisfied and gratified.

He secretly thought that he had made the right choice in taking Li Jingxiao as his disciple.

Unexpectedly, this kid's talent in alchemy is even slightly stronger than his talent in learning Taoist magic and supernatural powers.

Overjoyed, he immediately granted Li Jingxiao the right to use the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Having this right is tantamount to officially announcing to the public that Li Jingxiao is Laozi's successor in alchemy.

They also made Li Jingxiao refine two batches of Five-Turn Golden Elixir every month as his homework.

In reality, obtaining the fifth level of the Golden Elixir was no longer a problem for Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, as long as there are enough materials, it is easy to refine hundreds or even thousands of fifth-grade golden pills in the game's alchemy room.

However, Li Jingxiao spent two months cultivating Taoism and refining elixirs by Laozi's side.

Gradually, he also discovered that his master seemed to be eager for him to refine sixth, seventh, and eighth-level golden pills in a short period of time.

It took Li Jingxiao more than a month to realize what was going on.

Laozi refined the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir for the Jade Emperor for countless years and in countless batches.

They might have already vomited from the decoction.

After all, no matter how talented someone is, it's hard to like someone who keeps repeating the same thing.

In particular, to a certain extent, Laozi's alchemy was still for the Jade Emperor.

The more you focus on completing the task, the faster you'll get bored.

Moreover, Laozi's status is undeniable; no matter how well or how many elixirs are refined, it doesn't matter.

He is still the Dao Ancestor.

There is no more room for improvement.

There's nothing left to admire.

If this were a ruler and his ministers in the mortal world, they would definitely be wary of each other.

However, the Jade Emperor in the Journey to the West world experienced 1750 tribulations.

Each kalpa lasts for 129,600 years.

It took approximately 2.268 million years of cultivation to attain the supreme position of "Lord of the Three Realms".

Moreover, each kalpa contains the trials of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, undergoing the ultimate tests of life and death, karma, and the laws of heaven and earth.

Aside from the Three Pure Ones being the founders of creation, the Jade Emperor is indeed the person with the highest status in the Three Realms.

Moreover, all of the Jade Emperor's achievements were largely the result of his own efforts.

He was rightfully the Jade Emperor.

The Buddha only went through 8 kalpas, each lasting 12.96 years, for a total of about 103.68 years.

Therefore, in the world of Journey to the West, no one can truly overthrow the Jade Emperor.

Since there is no fundamental conflict between Laozi and the Jade Emperor.

Even if there is conflict, a situation of "fighting without breaking apart" can be maintained.

Given this, Laozi genuinely hoped to have a disciple who could help him share some of the tasks of alchemy.

Moreover, it's actually quite difficult for a master not to like a smart apprentice.

Watching one's apprentice grow little by little under one's tutelage brings a sense of accomplishment that even immortals and gods could not resist.

However, Li Jingxiao is not stupid.

Even if he were to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in the game in the future, he would not show it in reality.

Moreover, being able to refine the Eight-Turn Golden Elixir ensures his position in Laozi's heart.

They will not be passively drawn into the secret struggles between Laozi, the Jade Emperor, and other great gods.

Even if I need the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir someday, I can just ask Laozi for it.

If even a monkey could obtain the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir from Laozi, Li Jingxiao refused to believe that he, as his personal disciple, couldn't get one.

If they really won't give it to me, I'll just take it.

Anyway, the elixir that Laozi refined has always been kept in the alchemy room of the Tushita Palace.

Even though Sun Wukong stole the elixir of immortality back then, more than 500 years have passed.

Seven or eight purple-gold gourds and several jade bottles were still displayed brightly on the table.

It is clear that, apart from Sun Wukong, no one dared to steal anything from the Tushita Palace.

Or rather, even if Laozi were unwilling, Sun Wukong wouldn't actually be able to steal the elixir.
-
On this day, Li Jingxiao completed the task of refining two batches of at least 10 fifth-level golden pills in one go, which was a task that would take a month.

Use the purple-gold-red gourd that you got from the game to collect the 10 golden pills.

He casually tossed it onto the wall of the alchemy room and hung it up.

He looked at Golden Horn and Silver Horn and said, "Don't bother me this month."

Jinjiao and Yinjiao chuckled. They had heard Li Jingxiao complain more than once during their two months of drinking together.

He said he didn't have time to go home and spend time with his wife.

He also complained that he had too much homework every day, and that he was becoming Laozi's ox and horse.

This is why a direct disciple like Li Jingxiao dares to criticize his master in such a way.

When Laozi found out, he simply laughed and scolded Laozi, punishing him by making him copy the first part of "Taiqing Dandao".

But even a fool knows that what is supposedly a punishment of copying books is actually the transmission of the alchemy techniques of Li Jingxiao's Taiqing lineage.

Unfortunately, Li Jingxiao had already memorized the first part of "Taiqing Dandao".

Making him copy books was indeed a punishment for Li Jingxiao.

As for Jinjiao, Yinjiao, and everyone in the Tushita Palace, they were all purified by Li Jingxiao several times.

Everyone already knows that this young master not only has an outrageously strong talent for alchemy.

Their own strength is also quite formidable.

Needless to say, Li Jingxiao has been battling the Green Ox Demon for the past two months.

From the initial back-and-forth battles, it now only takes a few dozen moves to force the Green Ox Demon to admit defeat.

In the last ten days or so, the Green Ox Demon, Golden Horn, Silver Horn, and Kui Wood Wolf have all attacked together.

With the help of his "Iron Rod of Will" which transformed into a bright silver spear, Li Jingxiao was able to fight the four of them for hundreds of moves without being defeated.

However, what Jinjiao and Yinjiao considered invincible was actually a victory for Li Jingxiao according to the game system's judgment. Each fight allowed him to gain 77 experience points from the four of them.

Otherwise, Li Jingxiao would be crazy to keep picking fights with them every few days.

If we don't get anything out of it, we might as well go have a drink with the four of them.

They managed to subdue four people, not only because they had similar experience, but also because it took them less time.

In the past two months, Li Jingxiao has also risen from level 147.

It has been upgraded to 149 (608 million/2900 million).

After completing his tasks for the month, Li Jingxiao left the Tushita Palace directly.

They flew all the way to the Western Heavenly Gate and greeted the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra, who was on duty there that day, as well as dozens of marshals.

It flew straight out of the Western Heavenly Gate.

Then, after figuring out the direction, he traversed 18,000 li in a flash.

In just a few breaths, they appeared in the Wave Moon Cave.

When Baihua Xiu saw her husband return, she was so excited that she transformed into a series of illusory figures.

She threw herself into his arms and refused to get down.

Li Jingxiao chuckled and spent a full forty-nine days in the Tushita Palace refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir with Laozi.

After that, he became an apprentice, learned skills, and spent more than two months practicing alchemy and cultivating Taoism.

That means I haven't seen my wife for almost four months.

Not only did Baihua Xiu miss him terribly, but Li Jingxiao, with his lustful nature, could hardly resist.

He picked up Baihuaxiu and went to the bedroom.

After spending a carefree night at home with Baihua Xiu, the girl dragged him to the martial arts arena early the next morning.

He demonstrated that he had mastered the "Diving Abyss Shrinking Earth" technique in the past few months.

The results can be achieved by taking one step and covering four or five miles.

Li Jingxiao naturally praised her repeatedly, making Baihua Xiu's eyes crinkle into beautiful peach blossom eyes with joy.

After that, he inevitably started playing a game of chase with Li Jingxiao.

After checking Baihuaxiu's swordsmanship, Li Jingxiao thought to himself, since his wife is now interested in swordsmanship and has excellent talent.

I simply uploaded the game version of "Sword Control Technique" by Baihuaxiu.

Firstly, it would also provide an offensive technique, and secondly, it would prevent her from having nothing to do at home and overthinking things.

Of course, the stronger Baihuaxiu is, the more experience you can gain by sparring with her in the future.

This girl only had 5,000 points before, but in just half a year, she already had 10,000 points.

Although it is still far from Ao Xin's 10 points, in terms of cultivation time, Bai Hua Xiu has only been cultivating for 2 years.

However, Ao Xin's income has increased from 4 when they first met to 10 in the past two years.

Only Ao Huiji's older sister, who was paid 2 back then, is still paying 2 now.

They were very proper in letting her cultivate.

But Li Jingxiao is cheating.

Judging from whether her experience points have increased, it's clear that this mature woman's mind isn't on cultivation at all.

While in the Wave Moon Cave, after spending four or five days with Baihua Xiu, a golden-armored warrior suddenly reported something.

The golden-armored warriors from Thorn Ridge sent word that the little tree spirits of the Wooden Immortal Temple had discovered the whereabouts of the pilgrimage team.

Xingxian asked the golden-armored warrior to ask her where she was.
There's also the question of whether or not to host a banquet for the pilgrimage team.

She also mentioned that Princess Wansheng had been staying in Thorn Ridge for the past three months.

Li Jingxiao originally wanted to go to Thorn Ridge, but when he saw Baihua Xiu pouting slightly, looking like she was reluctant to part with him.

Yet she didn't complain or throw a tantrum, which made me feel a little sorry for her.

He put his arm around Baihuaxiu and said, "Go and prepare, I'll take you to invite Sun Wukong and Zhu Ganglie for drinks."

And your appearance as the lady of the house makes things seem more formal.

Upon hearing this, Baihuaxiu beamed with joy.

He hugged Li Jingxiao and kissed him a few times on the face, then excitedly instructed the maid to prepare to leave.

Lee Kyung-hyo smiled and shook his head, but he was the first woman in this world to have come here.

There are indeed some special feelings involved.

Moreover, Baihuaxiu never makes a fuss with me. Even if she occasionally throws a little tantrum, she will be happy as long as I coax her.

Li Jingxiao naturally adored such a wonderful daughter-in-law.

Half an hour later, Li Jingxiao, with Baihua Xiu dressed in her finest attire in his arms, flashed through the mountain and emerged from the Wave Moon Cave.

Using the magical power of "A Bright Future," one can travel 18,000 miles in a single step.

Take two more steps, and you'll reach the top of Thorn Ridge.

Upon seeing the Wooden Immortal Temple, he switched to the "Diving Abyss Shrinking Earth" technique and appeared directly in front of the Apricot Immortal.

When Xingxian saw Li Jingxiao, she was first startled.

Upon seeing who it was, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

As for Baihuaxiu, Li Jingxiao had already mentioned her to Xingxian before.

Moreover, Xingxian took the initiative to have Princess Wansheng serve Li Jingxiao together, so she naturally didn't care whether Li Jingxiao had other women.

Upon learning who Baihuaxiu was, Xingxian even took the initiative to bow and address her as "elder sister".

Baihua was ashamed to see that Xingxian was willing to be a concubine, and her attitude towards Xingxian immediately became kinder.

Princess Wansheng, however, was displeased and began to feel uneasy.

She was afraid that Baihua would not recognize her or even despise her.

Fortunately, Baihuaxiu didn't care about having another sister at all, and even felt that having one more sister wouldn't make a difference.

It doesn't matter if she's gone.

Therefore, the relationship between the three women was harmonious from the very beginning.

In terms of competence, Princess Wansheng is undoubtedly the most capable.

She was also willing to take on the task of preparing the banquet.
