The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 455 Flicking A Finger Away
Although Li Jingxiao was unwilling to accept Biyun Tongzi and Caiyun Tongzi as his disciples.

However, when teaching Nezha, it's still perfectly fine to also teach the two attendants some Taoist magic and supernatural powers.

After all, their strength has increased, and they can gain more experience when they use the excuse of testing their abilities.

There's no need to consider the feelings of the two boys; they can be defeated in three to five moves, or even just one move.

The next morning, around 10 a.m.

True to his word, Taiyi Zhenren brought Nezha, who was only a few months old, to his door.

At this time, Nezha, despite being newly born, looked no different from a four- or five-year-old child.

When I saw Li Jingxiao, I felt not only curiosity, but also a vague sense of scrutiny and unease.

It's normal to feel uneasy when suddenly taking a stranger as your master.

Secondly, Master Taiyi gives Nezha magical treasures upon meeting him, so in Nezha's heart, his master is the best person.

If it weren't for Master Taiyi saying that Li Jingxiao was incredibly powerful and possessed a remarkable martial art...

They were looking for a suitable successor, but unexpectedly, they took a liking to Nezha.

Even Nezha didn't want to come.

Taiyi Zhenren gave Nezha a few instructions, telling him to be obedient, and then didn't linger.

He handed the boy over to Li Jingxiao, then rode the crane straight back to Jinguang Cave.

Nezha became even more nervous.

Seeing that the little thing was nervous, Li Jingxiao smiled and said, "My surname is Li, my given name is Jingxiao, and my courtesy name is Jingyou."

Are you truly willing to become my disciple?

Although Nezha was mischievous, he was not someone who didn't know manners.

Especially not a fool.

After hearing this, he quickly performed a full prostration and said, "Disciple Li Nezha greets Master."

Li Jingxiao smiled and nodded, his gaze falling on the Qiankun Ring hanging around Nezha's neck.

The Hun Tian Ling (a type of magical ribbon) wrapped around his body.

However, they did not see any magical treasures such as the Fire-Tipped Spear or the Yin-Yang Twin Swords.

The iconic fire wheels were nowhere to be seen.

While feeling somewhat surprised, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

If you want this kid to obey, you have to scare him first.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "I have a cultivation technique called the Superior Celestial Immortal Technique."

Once you cultivate to a high level, becoming a Golden Immortal or a Taiyi Golden Immortal is not a problem.

If you have enough talent and work hard enough, even becoming a Great Immortal is not out of reach.

Upon hearing this, Nezha's face lit up with joy.

Moreover, children are naturally sensitive and can't hide their expressions on their faces.

Not only did he look eager, but his attitude towards Li Jingxiao also became much more respectful.

Unexpectedly, Li Jingxiao continued, "But if you want to learn, you have to let your teacher see your skills first."

If you can push me off this futon while I remain seated, I will begin teaching you this practice today.

If you can't do that, then learn the basics first.

Nezha was taken aback, and after a moment of surprise, his eyes darted around.

He tentatively asked, "Teacher, I am still young and not strong enough. Can I use the treasure?"

Li Jingxiao originally wanted to curb this kid's temper, so he naturally couldn't wait for him to use the magic weapon given to him by Taiyi Zhenren.

Incidentally, this also undermines the status of Taiyi Zhenren in this kid's heart.

He smiled and nodded: "Whatever you say. If I can't even defend against your few magic treasures, I'm not qualified to be your master."

Upon hearing this, Nezha tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment.

That seems to make sense, and I suddenly felt there was no need to take action.

But he wouldn't be satisfied without giving it a try.

After all, in his mind, the Universe Ring and the Hun Tian Ling were both powerful treasures.

Li Jingxiao was wrong because Taiyi Zhenren had not yet passed on the Fire-Tipped Spear, the Wind-Fire Wheels, the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, and the 'Immortal-Slaying Golden Brick' to Nezha.

It's not that I don't want to give it to him, but I haven't taught him any martial arts yet, so I don't want him to get hurt instead.

Moreover, before Nezha returned his bones and flesh to Li Jing and his soul flew to the Golden Light Cave, transforming into a lotus root incarnation.

Taiyi Zhenren imparted his treasures and skills to Nezha, but not his moral principles. In other words, he taught him magical weapons and martial arts, but not the principles of being a good person.

He did not transmit the Taoist teachings of Nezha's Chan sect.

To put it bluntly, it was deliberately condoning Nezha's mischief.

Otherwise, how could they possibly plot against the Jie Sect?

After all, when the Tongtian Sect Leader preached every year, he repeatedly emphasized that his disciples should stay in their caves and cultivate in seclusion.

Diligently cultivate the Tao and recite the Yellow Court Classic more often.

Therefore, the vast majority of core disciples stayed obediently in their cave dwellings.

If the disciples of the Chan Sect were to plot against the outer disciples of the Jie Sect, especially those who were not valued or on the fringes of the outer sect...

The Master of Heaven didn't care at all.

They might even be hoping to make use of these people and put them all on the list of gods.

Firstly, to eliminate unstable factors within the Jie Sect.

Secondly, these people went to Heaven to serve as officials, effectively occupying most of the official positions in Heaven.

To expand the influence of the Jie Sect.

But if the tribulation of gods and immortals were so easy, then it wouldn't be a great calamity of heaven and earth.

Moreover, the people of the Chan Sect are not stupid. There are so many disciples of the Jie Sect, as long as the Tongtian Sect Leader is willing.

Not to mention 365 righteous gods, even 3650 could fill the space.

The Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't say this, lest it affect the unity of the Jie Sect.

However, if the Chan Sect helps send these marginal disciples to the Heavenly Court, the Tongtian Sect Leader will tacitly approve.

However, if the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect cooperated well, the Jade Emperor would not be happy.

The Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms, and the Jade Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Three Realms.

He would never agree to have some trash dumped on him.

That's why so many wandering immortals went to help the Western Zhou and the Chan Sect when the Shang Dynasty attacked the Zhou Dynasty.

To be honest, everyone knows the truth.

The strength of the disciples of the Chan Sect was actually far inferior to that of the Jie Sect.

Helping the Western Zhou and the Chan Sect was merely a deliberate attempt to escalate the conflict and bring more elites from the Jie Sect to the Western Zhou.

Even core disciples were dragged into it.
-
Nezha took the Qiankun Ring off his neck, and saw that the treasure was shining with golden light and was spinning around on its own in Nezha's hand.

It looks like a powerful magic weapon.

Nezha looked at Li Jingxiao with some uncertainty, and was actually a little worried that he might hurt his new master, who was speaking quite kindly.

But Li Jingxiao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, your teacher has some tricks up his sleeve."

Nezha then became bolder.

When he threw the Qiankun Ring at Li Jingxiao, he only used three-tenths of his strength.

But this treasure was indeed extraordinary; when it whistled and struck Li Jingxiao's shoulder, the sound was quite frightening.

Biyun and Caiyun, who were standing nearby, were so startled that they almost cried out.

But in Li Jingxiao's eyes, the Qiankun Circle was nothing special.

In the Journey to the West world, because of the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat, Nezha is also considered Li Jingxiao's third brother-in-law.

Although they are godparents, Li Jingxiao is a direct disciple of Laozi.

Not only did Li Jing show goodwill, but Nezha was also willing to befriend Li Jingxiao.

Therefore, during those years in the Journey to the West world, Li Jingxiao had fewer interactions with Nezha than Yang Jian.

However, they had quite a few interactions and even got into several fights.

Therefore, he is actually quite familiar with magical treasures such as the Universe Ring, the Hunyuan Silk, the Fire-Tipped Spear, the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, and the Immortal-Slaying Golden Brick.

The Nezha in Journey to the West is many times stronger than the little Nezha in front of me.

Li Jingxiao is not afraid.

Naturally, he wasn't worried that the kid in front of him could hurt him.

Sure enough, when the Universe Ring came at him, Li Jingxiao simply flicked his finger at it.

With a "clang," the treasure was sent flying.

Nezha's mouth dropped open so wide he could almost swallow his own fist.
