The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 370 Six-Turn Golden Core
Li Jingxiao initially practiced the Lightning Thunder Fist, which belongs to the Shangqing lineage.

He also cultivated the Shangqing Divine Thunder Technique, which was considered the foundation of his skills.

Later, when Laozi explained the Taiqing Thunder Method to him, Taiqing, Shangqing, and the Five Thunder Orthodox Method suddenly merged, creating the "Shenxiao Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method".

After becoming a disciple, he listened to the Primordial Celestial Venerable preach the Jade Purity Thunder Method.

At this time, the "Five Thunders of Shenxiao" can be considered a combination of thunder magic from the three schools of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing.

The thunder magic, which combines the strengths of three schools, naturally astonished even Zhen Yuanzi.

As he listened, Zhen Yuanzi entered a meditative state.

After Li Jingxiao spoke for three days, although he only gave a general overview, he did indeed give Zhen Yuanzi a considerable understanding of thunder magic.

After all, although he was the ancestor of the earth immortals, he did not worship the Three Pure Ones, but only Heaven and Earth.

However, in terms of cultivation, they are indeed inferior to the Three Pure Ones.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced to become sworn brothers with Sun Wukong.

When Zhen Yuanzi woke up, he was so happy that he spent more than a month discussing Taoism with Li Jingxiao.

Until the Golden Horn and Silver Horn descended to earth and found the Wuzhuang Temple.

It was said that he was ordered by Laozi to send Li Jingxiao back to the Tushita Palace to assist Laozi in refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

The two may continue their debate for several more months before it ends.

During this period, Li Jingxiao's lightning magic cultivation level not only rose to the Mythical level (81/100), but also...
He also learned the "Sleeve Universe" technique from Zhen Yuanzi as he wished.

Only after learning it did Li Jingxiao realize that this supernatural power was indeed powerful.

But it also depends on who performed it.

Li Jingxiao was certain that it would be extremely difficult for him to easily capture Sun Wukong into his sleeve using this supernatural power.

If the Three Pure Ones were to perform the task, catching the monkey might be easier than Zhen Yuanzi's.

Fortunately, although Li Jingxiao was disappointed, he also felt that having a powerful supernatural ability was always a good thing.

While he might not be able to defeat Sun Wukong, he could handle other people without any problem.

After all, in the world of Journey to the West, only a very small number of beings are actually more powerful than the Monkey King.

When bidding farewell to Zhen Yuanzi, the old Taoist priest repeatedly invited Li Jingxiao to visit Wuzhuang Temple and have some tea whenever he had time.

To put it bluntly, although Li Jingxiao's cultivation level is not as high as Zhen Yuanzi's, some of his ideas are indeed more novel than those of the cultivators in this world, and his thinking is more unconventional and active.

Occasionally, it can give Zhen Yuanzi a refreshing perspective.

For someone of his level, even the smallest improvement is a huge step forward.

Li Jingxiao also found it beneficial to discuss the Dao with Zhen Yuanzi, so he readily agreed.

When they flew towards the Western Heavenly Gate with Golden Horn and Silver Horn, the two brothers, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, specifically reminded Li Jingxiao.

When the master told them to descend to the mortal realm, his expression was rather unpleasant, suggesting he wasn't in a good mood.

After a moment's thought, Li Jingxiao suddenly cursed inwardly.

It seems that someone is unhappy about my association with Zhen Yuanzi.

Sure enough, upon entering the Tushita Palace, he was scolded by Laozi.

Li Jingxiao did not argue and his attitude in admitting his mistake was excellent.

If the old man doesn't want me to go, then I won't go.

Anyway, "Shenxiao Wulei" is only 19 experience points away from reaching the maximum level.

I've tasted another ginseng fruit, and I still have one in my inventory.

He also learned the art of hiding one's inner world in one's sleeve.

There's really not much need to go to Wuzhuang Temple in the future.

Moreover, if you really want to listen to a lecture, you might as well shamelessly go to the Daoist temple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable and listen to him lecture on the Primordial Dao Fruit directly.

Even if you don't understand it, you can at least use the game's library as a cheat to copy it down.

One day in the future, I will be able to understand and learn it.

With this in mind, Li Jingxiao relaxed.

As Laozi continued his tirade, he noticed the man's calm demeanor and immediately lost interest.

And I felt relieved.

He nodded to himself in satisfaction, thinking that his apprentice was indeed exceptionally talented.

That mindset alone is remarkable.

He pretended to be amused and told Li Jingxiao to get out and prepare to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

Li Jingxiao took his leave politely, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Although the old man sometimes liked to scold people, as a teacher, he was not exactly strict.

After forty-nine days, this batch of Nine-Turn Golden Pills produced 17 pills.

Compared to the average number of pills Laozi produced when he refined pills himself in the past, this was a full 5 pills more.

The old man was delighted and grew to like Li Jingxiao more and more the more he looked at him.

Li Jingxiao accompanied Laozi in refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir five or six times. Just by watching, he roughly learned how to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

However, Li Jingxiao did not have much need for the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

He had two more hidden in his hand, which is why he didn't actually try to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

Lao Jun was so pleased that he gave Li Jingxiao another pill, which made Li Jingxiao even less inclined to refine the elixir.

After Li Jingxiao used the +9 purple-gold red gourd, which he had refined himself and was of immortal artifact quality, to store the golden pill.

Golden Horn and Silver Horn began cleaning the alchemy furnace, intending to follow their usual practice.

My young master will begin refining the Fifth-Rank Golden Elixir in three days.

At that time, the two brothers could share one or two, or even several.

As for obtaining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir from Laozi like Li Jingxiao, Jinjiao and Yinjiao wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

Moreover, all the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir being refined now is collected and stored by Li Jingxiao from the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Li Jingxiao was always cautious, so after Laozi asked him to manage the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir he had refined...

We will no longer use Laozi's purple-gold gourd.

Instead, he used a gourd he had refined himself to hold the elixir.

Now, let alone Golden Horn and Silver Horn, even Laozi wouldn't be able to easily break Li Jingxiao's magical gourd.

Moreover, as long as someone touches the magical gourd, Li Jingxiao will inevitably find out.

At his speed, even using his full power of lightning escape, returning to the Tushita Palace would only take a few dozen breaths. After Golden Horn and Silver Horn finished cleaning up the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Laozi said something to Li Jingxiao.

“Disciple, from now on, when you refine two batches of golden pills, one batch will be refined five times and the other six times.”

Li Jingxiao was taken aback. When he looked at Lao Jun, he saw the old man nod slightly.

He immediately realized that someone didn't want him to have much contact with Zhen Yuanzi.

To avoid trouble, one should artificially increase their own importance.

Upon hearing Laozi's words, Golden Horn and Silver Horn were startled, then overjoyed.

Previously, Li Jingxiao had refined a six-turn golden pill, and his assistants were Jinjiao and Yinjiao.

However, at that time, Laozi felt that being too prominent was not a good thing.

This is why Li Jingxiao kept his ability to refine the Six-Turn Golden Elixir a secret from others for the time being.

He also used a supernatural power to make Golden Horn and Silver Horn forget about the Six-Turn Golden Elixir.

That's why the two brothers looked surprised at that moment.

But if Li Jingxiao really manages to refine a sixth-stage golden pill, it would naturally be a good thing for the two brothers.

As soon as Lao Jun finished speaking, Golden Horn and Silver Horn looked at Li Jingxiao expectantly.

Li Jingxiao didn't care at all about what the two of them thought.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, he bowed to Laozi with his hands clasped.

"Your disciple will obey your instructions."

Upon hearing this, Lao Jun glared at Li Jingxiao with annoyance.

It's obvious that if Li Jingxiao hadn't figured it out himself, he would definitely have refused.

Fortunately, if an apprentice is outstanding enough, their master's tolerance can indeed become extremely high.

He cursed and swore at Li Jingxiao a few more times before finally tidying himself up.

He strode out of the alchemy room with an air of otherworldly wisdom and the demeanor of a patriarch who created the world.

The old man was indeed quite different in private than he appeared in public.

Of course, Laozi didn't curse everyone.

In the eyes of Jinjiao and Yinjiao, only Li Jingxiao was frequently scolded.

If it were anyone else, the old man would either curse them a few times or simply ignore them.

As usual, Li Jingxiao spent three days in seclusion, and only after his energy and spirit were fully restored did he begin refining elixirs.

The Five-Turn Golden Elixir was something I was already extremely familiar with.

Refining the Six-Turn Golden Elixir was equally easy for him.

So much so that Jinjiao and Yinjiao, who were watching from the side, admired him immensely.

He sighed inwardly to himself.

The gap between people can sometimes be so vast that it can lead to despair.

These two brothers accompanied Laozi in refining elixirs for countless years and through countless batches.

Unfortunately, he lacked the talent and could only obediently serve as a fire-tending boy.

Of course, in Li Jingxiao's eyes, Jinjiao and Yinjiao were not exactly smart people.

This is probably a common problem among the servants around all powerful figures.

They're all either simpletons or people with no real talent.

Of course, it's not absolute.

The white crane attendant beside Yuanshi Tianzun is quite normal.

Three days later, the Five-Turn Golden Elixir was successfully refined.

A single batch of six-stage Golden Elixir pills yields six pills, and this is only because Li Jingxiao deliberately controlled the quantity.

But for Golden Horn and Silver Horn, a batch of 5 is enough to fulfill the pre-order quantity.

The extra one, according to Li Jingxiao, was the reward for the two brothers.

This made Jinjiao and Yinjiao even more respectful to Li Jingxiao.

The news that Li Jingxiao could refine the Six-Turn Golden Elixir quickly spread throughout the Heavenly Palace.

When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he specially summoned Li Jingxiao to the Lingxiao Palace.

After inquiring in person, he was overjoyed.

While praising him repeatedly, he also bestowed upon him a large number of gifts.

Li Jingxiao also took the opportunity to ask for a lot of rare materials for refining weapons and alchemy.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and approved it immediately.

The only requirement was that Li Jingxiao refine a few more batches each month.

Li Jingxiao agreed verbally, but in his heart he thought that even if it was a fifth or sixth level Golden Core, it wouldn't be difficult to cultivate.

Only a fool would spend all day holed up in the alchemy room, acting as an alchemy machine.

Each month, after completing the 10 golden pills required by Laozi, which is equivalent to two batches,...

The rest of the time is spent either cultivating or playing with his wife.

As Li Jingxiao was pondering this, he had just stepped out of the Lingxiao Palace when he saw a female official leading several female immortals waiting outside the palace.

It is said that the Queen Mother of the West invited him to Yaochi to admire the flowers.

Li Jingxiao immediately realized that this was an attempt to win him over.

The thought of the Imperial Wine of Yaochi stirred Li Jingxiao's heart.

Upon arriving at Yaochi, he was greeted by the Peony Fairy, whom he had met at the Peach Banquet, who was also present to him.

Li Jingxiao immediately started muttering to himself.

However, for someone like Li Jingxiao, it would be a shame to let a beautiful woman go when she's offered herself up.

Even if it's not convenient to meet in secret in the Heavenly Palace, then just follow Kui Mulang's example and descend to the mortal realm.

Unfortunately, before I could even exchange a few words with the Peony Fairy, we arrived before the Queen Mother's throne.

Moreover, besides the Queen Mother, there was another beautiful and stunning female immortal sitting right next to her.

After the introduction, Li Jingxiao realized that this female immortal was actually the Jade Emperor's own niece.

Yang Jian's younger sister.
