The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 442 Taiyi Zhenren
When Li Jingxiao saw the stranger approaching, he subconsciously pulled Shi Ji closer to him.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man possessed an ethereal aura that could deceive others, but not Li Jingxiao's eyes.

Moreover, this person's gaze was fixed on the monkey wine.

Li Jingxiao finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Before Li Jingxiao could speak, Shi Ji frowned.

He stood up and asked in an unfriendly tone, with some uncertainty, "Is it Senior Brother Taiyi?"

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest looked at Shi Ji, who had also used transformation magic to become an ordinary mature woman.

It took me several seconds to remember who Shi Ji was.

Judging from this, Shi Ji was indeed not a famous figure in the Jie Sect and Chan Sect.

Even Taiyi Zhenren had to think for a few seconds before he remembered who she was.

On the contrary, Shi Ji easily recognized Taiyi Zhenren.

After recognizing Shi Ji, Taiyi Zhenren cupped his hands in greeting and asked in confusion, "Junior Sister, what are you doing at Chen Tang Pass?"

Li Jingxiao immediately knew that Taiyi Zhenren was waiting for Nezha to be born.

Therefore, upon seeing Shiji, a disciple of the Jie Sect, in this restaurant, they immediately became wary and suspicious.

Li Jingxiao remained silent, waiting for Shi Ji to speak.

After some explanation and introduction, Taiyi Zhenren looked at Li Jingxiao seriously.

This sight immediately startled Taiyi Zhenren.

Not only could he see that Li Jingxiao's cultivation level was definitely no lower than his own, but he could also tell that it was no less than his own.

It faintly emitted a five-colored glow, clearly indicating that it was a defensive treasure.

Moreover, Master Taiyi felt a sense of familiarity with this person, as if they were fellow disciples.

This is probably related to the fact that Li Jingxiao was currently focusing on cultivating the "Taiqing Daodao Zhenjing" and the "Bajiu Xuangong".

Taiyi Zhenren put aside his contempt and bowed to Li Jingxiao with a smile, saying, "I am Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave, Qianyuan Mountain."

He studied under Yuxu Cave of Kunlun Mountain and Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.

I wonder what your name is, and which master you studied under?

Upon hearing this question, Li Jingxiao's lips twitched involuntarily.

You can't exactly say that you are actually a direct disciple of Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao).
However, Laozi in the world of Investiture of the Gods would never acknowledge himself as his successor.

Furthermore, there should still be some differences between the 'Way of Taiqing' in the world of Investiture of the Gods and the world of Journey to the West.

In addition, the Heavenly Court of this world is not even enough to have true gods, so it had to initiate the Investiture of the Gods to supplement the Heavenly Officials and Immortals.

Therefore, there should be no Zhenwu Emperor in this world, or rather, Zhenwu Emperor has not yet ascended to the throne.

Even if they do, they probably haven't yet ascended to the 'Emperor' position.

He hadn't even become one of the four saints under the Northern Purple Star Emperor.

After thinking for a moment, Li Jingxiao said, "My lineage is rather complicated, please forgive me, fellow Daoist."

Taiyi Zhenren immediately assumed that Li Jingxiao had secretly slipped down the mountain to travel without his master's knowledge.

Or perhaps when descending the mountain, the master specifically instructed that one must not mention the sect.

Fortunately, Li Jingxiao's authentic Xuanmen cultivation and aura could not be hidden from Taiyi Zhenren.

However, since he was with Shi Ji, he didn't mention who his master was.

This also allowed Taiyi Zhenren to be ruled out, as Li Jingxiao's master was Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Otherwise, just accept it.

After all, the Tongtian Sect Leader was a saint, and his master was so powerful and of such high status.

Only a fool would deny it.

Moreover, the Investiture of the Gods war had not yet begun at this time, and there were many conflicts between the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

They still addressed each other as fellow disciples.

Moreover, not all disciples of the Chan and Jie sects disliked each other.

Even when the War of the Gods began, they were still relatively restrained towards each other at the beginning.

They didn't kill him as soon as they met.

There's no reason why Li Jingxiao wouldn't dare admit that he's a disciple of the Jie Sect.

Furthermore, given that the Jie Sect had over ten thousand disciples, there was no precedent of any Jie Sect disciple being forbidden by the Tongtian Sect Leader from identifying themselves as a member of the Jie Sect. As long as someone wasn't a member of the Jie Sect, Taiyi Zhenren would treat Li Jingxiao much better.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao was clearly of human origin, which improved Taiyi Zhenren's impression of him considerably.

After exchanging pleasantries, we took our seats.

Taiyi Zhenren's gaze involuntarily swept over the monkey wine on the table once more.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen good wine before, but rather that he was waiting for Nezha to be born.

In fact, to protect Nezha before he was even born, this old man had been stationed at Chentang Pass for several months.

Li Jingxiao's Monkey Spirit Wine is not only rich in celestial energy.

The wine was brewed by the monkeys and their offspring from Flower Fruit Mountain, using the magical peaches from the mountain.

Even in the world of Investiture of the Gods, it would be considered a fine wine.

Even in the world of Journey to the West, there is a Peach Banquet.

Therefore, the quantity of immortal wine is likely greater than that in the world of Investiture of the Gods, and the taste is also likely better.

Li Jingxiao, of course, wouldn't hesitate to part with a little monkey wine, and invited Taiyi Zhenren to sit down.

He then instructed Shiji to pour him wine.

Shi Ji curled her lip, secretly disliking the people of the Chan Sect.

But the woman did not object to Li Jingxiao's order.

She behaved herself like a well-behaved and polite daughter-in-law.

He picked up the purple-gold gourd containing monkey wine and poured a bowl of it for Taiyi Zhenren.

When Taiyi Zhenren saw that Shiji Niangniang was so obedient, he was surprised and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

In his eyes, the Jie Sect was a group of people of mixed character and unruly behavior.

The facts are actually quite similar.

Taiyi Zhenren's evaluation and fear of Li Jingxiao rose to a new level.

But this monkey wine is really good.

Taiyi Zhenren was not afraid that Li Jingxiao and Shiji would poison him, so he picked up his wine bowl and clinked it with Li Jingxiao's.

After drinking it all in one gulp, a satisfied smile quickly appeared on his face.

Many of the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain are associated with Sun Wukong's rampage in the underworld.

Cross out the lifespan of monkeys in the Book of Life and Death.

Therefore, there are indeed many monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain that have become immortal.

The quality and technique of brewing monkey wine are getting higher and higher.

Just one bowl was enough to attract the attention of Master Taiyi.

After that, the three of them stopped talking about serious matters and instead chatted idly while drinking continuously.

When Taiyi Zhenren was about 80% drunk, the old man took the initiative to surrender.

The notification of +48 experience points immediately popped into Li Jingxiao's mind.

Li Jingxiao was immediately startled.

But then I thought about it again, and there are actually quite a few Taiyi Golden Immortals in the Journey to the West world.

Even the White-haired Rat, Bai Suzhen, and Xingxian broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm in a short period of time.

Among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Taiyi Zhenren was one of the strongest, so it's quite normal for him to be a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

As for true combat power, besides cultivation level, Taoist magic and magical treasures are also important factors.

If you calculate it this way, you could fight at least two or three Taiyi Zhenren by yourself.

The old Taoist priest had many magical treasures, but none of them were actually very powerful.

The Universe Ring, the Heavenly Silk, the Fire-Tipped Spear, the Wind and Fire Wheels, the Gold Brick, the Precious File, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and the Yin-Yang Sword.

He kept the precious file and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover for himself, and passed the rest on to Nezha.

Although the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover is famous, in Li Jingxiao's opinion, this treasure summons nine fire dragons, and the Samadhi True Fire it spews out is indeed very powerful.

But it had absolutely no effect on me.
