The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 388 When interests are at stake, anything is negotiable
Li Jingxiao poured out a lotus seed that exuded a rich, ethereal aura and looked at the beauty in his arms, saying...

"This is a sixth-grade green lotus seed, which can greatly restore vital energy."

"After you eat it, you should be able to keep it a secret from those female officials in charge of surveillance at Yaochi."

As soon as the Peony Fairy saw the green lotus seed, she sensed the rich, ethereal energy emanating from it.

Moreover, this woman was currently head over heels in love with Li Jingxiao, not to mention that Qinglianzi was clearly extraordinary.

Even if you gave her a poison, she would most likely swallow it without hesitation.

However, after consuming the peony and immediately activating his main cultivation technique, he immediately felt his cultivation level rapidly increasing.

Although she hadn't broken through to her current level, the Peony Fairy felt that as long as she ate ten or eight more pills...

That should help me break through to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

He no longer cared whether the lotus seeds had replenished his depleted yin essence; his gaze was fixed on the jade bottle in Li Jingxiao's hand.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao was somewhat surprised that the Green Lotus Seed could actually help immortals improve their cultivation.

These lotus seeds are said to be 'sixth-grade green lotus seeds,' but they are actually just pills obtained through gameplay.

Otherwise, Li Jingxiao would have already tried planting and cultivating lotus himself.

Li Jingxiao was not stingy when it came to his women.

Not only did he give the jade bottle in his hand to the Peony Fairy, but he also took out another bottle of nine beads from his inventory and gave them to her as well.

Upon seeing this, the Peony Fairy was overjoyed.

After carefully putting away the two jade bottles, he hugged Li Jingxiao and kissed him.

The two then engaged in another battle.

When we parted again, it was already evening.

However, Li Jingxiao was still worried that the Peony Fairy would be discovered by the inspectors of Yaochi.

So they flew ahead to the Western Heavenly Gate and returned to the Tushita Palace.

He then instructed Golden Horn and Silver Horn to go to Yaochi, saying that he was preparing to go into seclusion.

Therefore, before going into seclusion, I plan to refine three to five months' worth of fifth- and sixth-grade golden pills.

To avoid accumulating several months' worth of unfinished tasks.

When the Peony Fairy returned to the Jade Pool, she was actually a little uneasy.

But as soon as they entered the Jade Pool Wonderland, they saw Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

He was taken aback at first, then began to speculate in his mind.

Before she could think much about it, a female official led her to see the Queen Mother.

At this moment, the Queen Mother was thinking about sending the elixir materials to Li Jingxiao as soon as possible, and gave a few instructions to the Peony Fairy.

Tell her to go to the Tushita Palace as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, the Peony Fairy felt relieved, but she also guessed that Li Jingxiao must have deliberately used the refining of the Golden Elixir to encourage and support her.

While the woman was secretly delighted and couldn't wait to throw herself into Li Jingxiao's arms, she hurriedly took the prepared spiritual flowers and herbs to the Tushita Palace.

The Queen Mother, who had been completely oblivious, couldn't help but smile as she watched the Peony Fairy's retreating figure.

The Jade Emperor will agree to let the Peony Fairy send Li Jingxiao spiritual flowers and herbs every month.

Naturally, this was the result of a compromise between him and the Queen Mother.

The peaches of immortality have always been in the hands of the Queen Mother, which is why her position is unshakeable.

Although the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor are husband and wife, they are actually more of a community of shared interests.

In the entire Heavenly Court, there are very few deities who are as fond of women as Li Jingxiao or Zhu Bajie from hundreds of years ago.

Most people who can become immortals have long since lost their romantic feelings.

Where there are interests, there will inevitably be disagreements.

Therefore, the Queen Mother had long harbored resentment towards the 'Dan Yuan Conference' held by the Jade Emperor.

Unfortunately, there are only so many peaches available each year.

Since the couple were the supreme rulers of the Three Realms, they inevitably had to distribute salaries to those below them. And the peaches of immortality were the largest and most popular salary in the Heavenly Court.

Unfortunately, the quantity is indeed insufficient.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to allow the Jade Emperor to distribute golden pills as a supplement to the peaches of immortality to the gods in Heaven.

In the past, the Queen Mother could not influence Laozi, so she could only watch helplessly and worry anxiously.

Now there is an opportunity to influence Li Jingxiao, a powerful figure capable of refining elixirs.

Not to mention that even after the Peony Fairy ate the sixth-grade green lotus seed, there was not a trace of her vital essence leaking out.

Even if the investigating spirit official discovers the problem, the Queen Mother will help the Peony Fairy suppress it.

They even took the initiative to cover up and make amends for Li Jingxiao's mistake.

In the future, we might even be able to obtain some fifth-grade, sixth-grade, or even seventh-grade or eighth-grade golden pills from Li Jingxiao.

For the Queen Mother, that would mean she could cultivate more direct descendants.

Faced with such enormous profits, as long as Li Jingxiao and Fairy Peony don't have children, nothing else matters.

If the benefits are sufficient, they might even push Yang Chan, their adopted niece, into Li Jingxiao's arms.

Moreover, there is no shortage of couples in the Heavenly Palace.

Li Jing had a biological daughter, though it is unknown whether she was born before he became an immortal.

She was born after becoming an immortal.

This at least shows that Li Jing had a wife, and that she lived in the Heavenly Palace.

There's also that lecherous Pigsy. When he was an official in Heaven, Li Jingxiao didn't believe that this guy would be honest.

Perhaps among the 80,000 Heavenly River sailors were female officials who had an affair with Old Pig.

When the Peony Fairy arrived at the Tushita Palace, she longed to throw herself into Li Jingxiao's arms upon seeing him.

However, out of reverence for this place being Laozi's sacred site, they dared not do anything excessive or out of line.

However, even those two fools, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, could see the deep affection in Li Jingxiao's eyes.

Fortunately, the two brothers weren't really fools, and they didn't dare to interfere in the affairs of this young master, Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao did indeed use the Golden Elixir, giving the two brothers ample benefits.

They winked at Li Jingxiao, and the two brothers stood guard outside the palace where Li Jingxiao was staying, keeping watch for him and the Peony Fairy.

However, Li Jingxiao would not be so lustful as to act recklessly in the Tushita Palace.

He sat with the Peony Fairy in his arms, showering her with sweet words, which made her giggle from time to time.

Although they didn't do anything outrageous, women sometimes actually prefer to talk about love with the person they like.

He wasn't particularly interested in martial arts competitions.

Finally, we made an appointment for our next trip to the Flower Valley outside Luoyang City.

The Peony Fairy reluctantly bid farewell to Li Jingxiao and returned to Yaochi.

Three days later, Li Jingxiao refined six batches of fifth- and sixth-turn golden pills.

For the next three months, unless Laozi summons him back to the Tushita Palace to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

He arranges all the other people's time himself.

He returned to Wave Moon Cave and spent three days with Baihuaxiu, then took her to Thorn Ridge.

Playing with Xingxian and Princess Wansheng.

As for the white-haired rat, the woman lived in Thorn Ridge for two months, but in the end, she couldn't bear to leave her home in the Bottomless Cave of Trap Mountain.

I returned to the bottomless pit early on.

Li Jingxiao caused trouble in the Thorn Ridge for three days before resuming his daily trips to the pilgrimage team to report for duty.

The gods and Buddhas, including Liu Ding Liu Jia and Wu Fang Jie Di, complained again about his absence for several months.

Now that they have alcohol to drink, they're all behaving wildly.
