The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 359 Thick Skin Gets You Food

After Li Jingxiao finished speaking, he looked at the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom and said, "Your Majesty, please set up an altar and inform the Bodhisattva and the True Man Ziyang."

There will definitely be a response.

However, Your Majesty must apologize to the Peacock King and ask the Buddha Mother for forgiveness for the sin of accidentally harming the Buddha Mother's offspring when you were young.

Upon hearing this, the king and his ministers dared not refuse.

They were Bodhisattvas and Buddha Mothers, all top figures on Mount Ling.

Moreover, this mere mount of the Bodhisattva nearly drove the King and nobles of Zhu Zi Kingdom to the brink of collapse over the past three years.

If the Buddha Mother is not satisfied, she might just send an even more powerful mount to continue causing trouble in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi.

Ten or eight years from now, the Kingdom of Zhu Zi might fall into chaos on its own.

The king fasted for seven days and set up a high altar to offer sacrifices to the three great leaders.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing knew that Li Jingxiao was trying to curry favor with the Bodhisattva, the Buddha Mother, and the Master Ziyang.

But the three brothers dared not say anything, and Li Jingxiao provided them with fine wine and food every day to keep them quiet.

Not to mention Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, even Sai Tai Sui, who transformed into a child.

Drinking immortal wine and eating palace delicacies every day, I'm starting to not want to go back to Luojia Mountain.

Meanwhile, the many gods and Buddhas who guarded Tang Sanzang in the heavens transformed into mortals and mingled with Li Jingxiao, drinking and eating meat.

While thanking Li Jingxiao, she also kept thinking about how good he was.

Li Jingxiao also took the opportunity to suggest to Tang Sanzang that he open a sermon in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi.

On the first day, it attracted thousands of people and officials to listen.

In just three days, the name of the holy monk became widely known in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi.

Now even Tang Sanzang liked him very much.

Seven days later, after all the officials and common people had paid their respects, the golden robes on Lady Jin Sheng Palace indeed came off her body on their own.

Upon seeing this, the king was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, embracing Jin Shenggong in one arm.

Sai Taisui, who was standing next to Li Jingxiao, had the appearance of a child, but his expression was somewhat clenched teeth.

Li Jingxiao wouldn't tolerate him; he slapped the guy to the ground.

The Binding Immortal Rope on his wrist suddenly transformed into a chain, binding the guy tightly.

Sai Tai Sui realized that most of his magical power was actually restricted by the Immortal Binding Rope.

He immediately cowered and struggled to his knees, begging for mercy, before they finally let him go.

A voice also reached Li Jingxiao's ears.

Li Jingxiao immediately recognized that it was Master Ziyang transmitting his voice to him.

He said he would treat him to a drink after everything was over and they returned to Heaven.

Although this patriarch of the Southern School of Taoism did not show up, his name became widely known in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi during these seven days.

Of these powerful figures who have ascended to immortality or become ancestors, very few are truly indifferent to their reputation.

Many people are actually only interested in becoming famous and then spreading their teachings.

Li Jingxiao caused such a commotion that Master Ziyang naturally developed a great liking for him.

As for the Bodhisattva and the Buddha Mother, although they did not communicate directly, Li Jingxiao believed that the benefits would certainly be plentiful.

After staying in Zhu Zi Kingdom for another three days, Li Jingxiao watched the pilgrimage team depart into the distance.

Taking Sai Tai Sui with us, we first went to Peacock Mountain.

Princess Peacock was indeed aware of his actions in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi.

She was incredibly enthusiastic when serving Li Jingxiao.

It was obvious at a glance that the Peacock King had said something to her.

As for the Bodhisattva, Li Jingxiao took Sai Taisui to the back of Luojia Mountain.

The Bodhisattva then preached to him, and even taught him thunder magic.

Three days later, the "Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method" was upgraded to Legendary (29/60).

It seems that the Divine Thunder of the Nine Heavens is about to be upgraded to the 'Mythical' level.

Li Jingxiao was naturally focused on mastering this divine skill to its maximum level first.

Therefore, after the Bodhisattva preached, Li Jingxiao only stayed in the Purple Bamboo Grove for one day.

He had a drink with the Bull Demon King and his wife, Red Boy, Black Bear, Muzha, Linggan King, and Sai Taisui.

He ran straight back to Heaven and pestered Laozi to teach him about thunder magic.

After Laozi finished speaking, it was clear that the proficiency of the Divine Thunder Five Thunders had reached the legendary level (49/60).

After thinking for a moment, Li Jingxiao went to the Jade Purity Realm, Qingwei Heaven, the thirty-fifth heaven of the Heavenly Court.

He shamelessly knelt down outside the palace of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, begging him to teach him the "Jade Purity Divine Thunder Technique".

As expected, Yuanshi Tianzun did not keep Li Jingxiao waiting for long.

So they sent the White Crane Boy out of the palace to welcome him inside.

He jokingly scolded Li Jingxiao a few times, but then, quite open-mindedly, he actually explained the "Jade Purity Divine Thunder Technique" to Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, although it talks about the Jade Purity Thunder Method, the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method combines the Upper Purity, the Supreme Purity, and the Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

While listening to the Jade Purity Thunder Technique, the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Techniques were also continuously increasing their proficiency.

In just one day and one night, a purple lightning storm suddenly erupted from Li Jingxiao's body.

He was enveloped by constantly roaring and flashing lightning.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable looked on with a satisfied expression.

He stroked his beard and nodded, watching as a large amount of Divine Thunder erupted from Li Jingxiao's dantian.

It not only impacted and strengthened Li Jingxiao's internal organs.

Even the body, bones, and blood are constantly being strengthened.

In the end, he became completely transformed into lightning, and Li Jingxiao had even become a part of lightning himself.

Meanwhile, Li Jingxiao was controlling his body, constantly absorbing lightning to strengthen his body's defenses.

We also saw the increase in 'Lightning Magic attribute enhancement 200%, Lightning Magic power enhancement 200%'.

This is still a benefit brought about by the legendary ascension to mythology.

When the Divine Thunder Five Thunders reaches the Mythical level, it will definitely be strengthened again.

Fortunately, he had never switched to other cultivation methods.

Otherwise, who knows how much time would be wasted before you could get the benefit of double enhancement by 200%.

A full day passed before Li Jingxiao was able to cultivate the scattered lightning within his dantian back to normal.

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes and, before Li Jingxiao could wake up, began to explain the "Jade Purity Divine Thunder Technique".

He spoke for two days and two nights, then waved his hand dismissively.

They threw Li Jingxiao back into the Tushita Palace from the thirty-fifth heaven.

Meanwhile, the "Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method" had already become a myth (21/100).

Li Jingxiao chuckled, his eyes darting around, and he wanted to run to the thirty-fourth heaven.

Seek guidance from Daoist Lingbao on the Shangqing Thunder Method.

Unfortunately, before he could take any action, he heard Laozi's voice.

He could only sigh and obediently go to the Tushita Palace to see Laozi.

Then this old man conscripted him to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

However, there are also some benefits to refining the Golden Elixir.

At least Li Jingxiao had plenty of time to think about the Jade Purity Thunder Technique.

At the same time, it stabilized the thunderous power within his body.

To avoid upgrading too quickly and leaving hidden dangers.

Moreover, although Laozi did not teach him thunder magic during the alchemy process, he did teach him the Dao of Taiqing.

This easily calmed Li Jingxiao down.

This is one of the benefits of having a teacher.

Forty-nine days passed, and this time, a total of 18 Nine-Turn Golden Elixirs were harvested.

The number of pills refined was six more than in the past, and Laozi was so happy that his mouth was crooked from smiling.

While praising Li Jingxiao repeatedly, she also generously tossed him a piece.

Li Jingxiao was also very happy about this.

In addition, there was one that was kept from Laozi during the ordeal in Wuji Kingdom.

He already had two. So Li Jingxiao thought for a moment and quickly decided to give one to Ao Huiji.

This will not only improve her skills, but also give her more experience every time she does the sports she enjoys in the future.

Ao Huiji no longer needs to worry about her lifespan.

Secondly, this woman has always liked to introduce her man to her cousins.

When I visit the West Sea Dragon Palace in the future, I'm sure I'll be able to play cards with even more dragon girls.

Moreover, although the Four Seas Dragon Palace does not have a high status in the Journey to the West world, it is still a wealthy place.

He has made many connections with gods and Buddhas within the Three Realms.

If something really happens, asking my father-in-law, Ao Run, for help will definitely make things much easier.

Of course, even if Li Jingxiao gave Ao Huiji the Golden Elixir instead, the Four Seas Dragon Palace would still fawn over Li Jingxiao.

After all, Li Jingxiao's strength already qualifies him as a high-end combatant.

Not to mention that he was also Laozi's personal disciple.

After Laozi left the alchemy room with a smile, Li Jingxiao did not rush to the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Instead, they instructed Golden Horn and Silver Horn to prepare the materials for refining the Five-Turn Golden Elixir.

Then, after resting for three days in the Tushita Palace, he simply finished refining all the five-stage golden pills he had prepared over the past two months.

This time, Li Jingxiao did not continue to hold back his skills too much, but instead refined 8 or 9 five-stage golden pills in one batch.

Previously, if you wanted to refine enough for two months, you would need to use four batches.

Three furnaces are enough now.

The brothers, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, received a total of five extra fifth-stage Golden Pills.

Overjoyed, he pulled Li Jingxiao aside and made him wait in the Tushita Palace for a day.

The next morning, the two brothers placed 20 Qilin Pure Yang Fruits in front of Li Jingxiao.

Incidentally, I also helped him obtain a cluster of colorful rays of light from the ninth heaven.

Li Jingxiao was overjoyed.

He thought to himself that these two brothers were quite perceptive, knowing to give him something he needed as a reward.

Overjoyed, Li Jingxiao threw another 10 jars of Monkey Spirit Wine at the two of them.

Only then did they leave the Heavenly Palace and go to the Dragon Palace of the West Sea.

My father-in-law is very happy that I haven't been here for so long.

Moang and Ao Jun, along with the other dragon sons and grandsons, were also very welcome.

Not only did Mo Ang invite Li Jingxiao to drink, but he also felt that his martial arts skills had improved over the past six months, so he took the initiative to fight Li Jingxiao the next day.

To save face for his brother-in-law, Li Jingxiao changed his weapon to a large spear made of mixed iron and gold.

He fought with him for over two hundred moves before finally defeating Moang.

However, while the old Dragon King wasn't particularly skilled, he had excellent eyesight.

She had long noticed that her son-in-law was giving way to Moang.

Otherwise, let alone two hundred moves, he might have defeated Moang in thirty or fifty moves.

However, in Li Jingxiao's eyes, Moang's strength had indeed improved.

Besides the experience gained from defeating him, it increased from 20 to 25.

During his fight with Moang, one could indeed feel that his power had increased and his moves had become more ferocious.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao genuinely praised Moang.

Moang himself was even more aware that the gap between himself and Li Jingxiao seemed to have widened even further.

Fortunately, I was prepared, so while I was jealous, I didn't harbor any resentment.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao's sincere congratulations made Moang very happy.

After that, Li Jingxiao simply let Ao Jun, Ao Xin, and Xiao Tuolong go up together.

Don't be fooled by the fact that three people attacking together might seem like it would be harder to defeat them.

In reality, the three siblings not only had problems coordinating, but Li Jingxiao could actually defeat them individually more easily.

Even a single shot is enough to send the little alligator flying.

To break the weapon in the hands of his second brother-in-law Ao Jun again, it only takes one move.

As for Ao Xin, she no longer has two troublesome older brothers and cousins.

With the Demon-Slaying Sword and the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword in his hands combined, he was able to fight Li Jingxiao to a standstill.

Of course, Lee Kyung-hyo is even more gentle and patient with his woman.

He replaced the mixed iron and gold great spear in his hand with an 80-level +6 demon-suppressing sword.

After exchanging more than thirty blows with Ao Xin, he was certain that his wife's martial arts and swordsmanship had indeed improved.

Only then did he find an opportunity to break through Ao Xin's defense with a single sword strike, and he reached out and pulled the girl into his arms.

Ao Xin glared at Li Jingxiao angrily, but she was actually very happy and proud inside.

The old Dragon King, his princes, his grandsons, and the little alligator dragon laughed heartily.

The dragon matriarchs and dragon girls behind the screen were even more envious.

Although Lee Kyung-hyo is a womanizer, he is indeed very capable.

Moreover, despite his womanizing ways, Lee Kyung-hyo is actually very good to his women.

Especially after Li Jingxiao gave Ao Huiji the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, everyone in the West Sea Dragon Palace was extremely envious.

Needless to say, Ao Huiji was absolutely in love with Li Jingxiao.

Although Ao Xin pouted and sulked, she heard Li Jingxiao say that Lao Jun would definitely give her one next time he bestowed a reward.

The reason Ao Huiji was given the opportunity first was because her talent was far inferior to Ao Xin's.

This turned Ao Xin's worries into joy.

However, after Ao Huiji consumed the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, she did not ascend to the Heavenly Court.

Instead, he stayed in the Earthly Immortal Realm and remained an Earthly Immortal.

The difference between celestial immortals, earth immortals, and wandering immortals in Journey to the West is actually quite simple.

Ascending to the celestial realm and possessing sufficient strength makes one a celestial being.

The Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Five Directions, and the Five Emperors are all from the Great Luo Realm.

Those who do not wish to stay in the Heavenly Court, but instead seek out blessed lands and famous mountains and rivers as their dwellings in the Earthly Immortal Realm, live a carefree and leisurely life.

Those who don't even have a cave dwelling are called wandering immortals.

Therefore, the distinction between Celestial Immortals, Earthly Immortals, and Scattered Immortals is not based on strength.

Take Zhenyuan Daxian, for example. Although he is an Earth Immortal, his strength is definitely among the top in the Three Realms.

Even the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, and the Five Emperors of the Five Directions held him in high esteem.

Guanyin Bodhisattva herself said that she was very wary of Zhen Yuanzi.

Some wandering immortals are also incredibly powerful.

However, among the wandering immortals, true masters are naturally the fewest.

Most of them are ordinary immortals without any backing, sect, or background.

Otherwise, one could become an official in Heaven.

Or, who would want to be without a home if they've found a good place to live?
After Ao Huiji consumed the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, in addition to becoming an immortal, she was also greeted by celestial officials who descended to earth to receive her.

They wanted to bring Ao Huiji to the Heavenly Court.

However, upon seeing Li Jingxiao, the spirit officials of the Taiyi Heavenly Venerable's Mansion immediately realized that he definitely did not want to go to heaven to be a minor deity.

Li Jingxiao didn't make things difficult for the spirit officials; instead, he invited a few of them to drink at the West Sea Dragon Palace.

They gave them some more gifts before sending them away.

This is a win-win situation for everyone.

After that, Li Jingxiao would go to the sky above the pilgrimage team every evening to take attendance.

Then he pulled dozens of the gods and Buddhas who were guarding Tang Sanzang to drink.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing would occasionally take advantage of Tang Sanzang's rest time.

He went to Li Jingxiao's place to freeload drinks.

Every day, Li Jingxiao can earn two to three million experience points just from these people.

It was four months later when the pilgrimage team finally arrived at the Spider Cave.
