The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 490 Earth Book Ginseng Fruit

When the pilgrimage team reached the middle and later stages, Li Jingxiao's strength far surpassed that of Zhu Bajie.

That's why they stopped trying to fight him and Sha Wujing, and instead started drinking to gain experience.

But it was perfectly fitting for Li Jingxiao to pass on Zhu Bajie's martial arts skills to Zhu Zizhen.

Even among rake-type weapons, Li Jingxiao actually found one in his inventory—a long rake-type weapon obtained by defeating level 80 Yellow Wind Monsters.

He casually tossed the weapon to Zhu Zizhen, and the wild boar's loyalty to Li Jingxiao instantly surged.

Chang Hao is a snake demon, Wu Long is a centipede spirit, and Li Jingxiao cannot use poison.

But he can detoxify, and he also has the Purple Gold Green Gourd, which is used in the Maoshan Demon Refining Tower in the Dream of the Red Chamber world to store the poisonous mist exhaled by the four layers of Crimson Serpents.

If Chang Hao and Wu Long were each given a purple-gold-green gourd.

In the future, when these two female demons fight, they will suddenly take out the purple-gold-green gourd and release the accumulated poison gas that fills the sky.

Even if it doesn't do much damage to powerful characters, it's very effective at clearing out mobs.

Li Jingxiao's inventory contained many purple-gold red gourds.

Dai Li is a dog demon, and Yang Xian is a sheep spirit.

One of them spewed red beads from his mouth and injured people.

A pair of swords forged from a pair of ram horns.

Anyone struck by these two swords will be petrified.

Li Jingxiao's casual guidance was a great fortune for the few demons who had no master.

After all, Li Jingxiao is not only strong in his own right, but also possesses the four lineages of Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing and Lingshan.

Although only the Taiqing Dao truly understands it, the Lingshan lineage is merely a small part of Guanyin Bodhisattva's teachings and practices.

But for the Seven Eccentrics of Meishan, Li Jingxiao was the best teacher.

With just a few casual pointers, Jin Dasheng and his six demons benefited immensely.

The six men knelt down with a thud and bowed deeply to Li Jingxiao in gratitude.

He was not only willing to stay by Li Jingxiao's side as a 'guardian of the mountain gate', but even felt that he had obtained a great opportunity.

Their loyalty skyrocketed instantly.

Even Yuan Hong, who was standing to the side, felt that he needed to make a good impression and try to gain Li Jingxiao's approval.

It might be beneficial for cultivating the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

And so, the seven monsters willingly became the guards of Li Garden.

Every morning, Li Jingxiao would teach Daji, Nezha, Ao Bing, Biyun, Yunxiao, and Leizhenzi Taoist magic and martial arts.

If he's in a good mood, he'll occasionally have a few fights with the Seven Monsters of Meishan.

However, Yuan Hong and the others, along with Daji and the others, felt that Li Jingxiao would only give guidance to Yuan Hong and the other six when he was in a good mood.

In reality, offering guidance is just an excuse.

Li Jingxiao's main goal was to fight those seven people several times and gain more experience.

But I can't just beat them up every day for no reason, so I used "being in a good mood" as an excuse to give them some pointers.

Surprisingly, although Yuan Hong and the others were beaten, none of them harbored any resentment.

They even envied Nezha and Ao Bing, who got beaten up every day.

After all, Li Jingxiao would give him some pointers after he got beaten up.

Moreover, Nezha and Ao Bing were used to Li Jingxiao's teaching style and didn't see any problems with it.

Yuan Hong and the other six felt the same way, thinking that this was the treatment a direct disciple should receive, and they were incredibly envious.

As for Li Jingxiao's fondness for hitting people, in the eyes of Yuan Hong and the others, this was not being beaten, but rather Li Jingxiao's seriousness and responsibility as a master.

Even hitting you is a sign of liking you; otherwise, ignoring you would be missing a great opportunity to improve your martial arts skills.

A few days later, Shiji, Caiyun, and Qiongxiao returned from listening to the Tongtian Sect Leader's sermons on Jin'ao Island and Biyou Palace.

Seeing that her three sisters had only been away for a month, seven monsters had appeared in their home.

I couldn't help but become a little curious.

Yuan Hong and the other seven hurriedly bowed and addressed her as "Mistress".

This immediately increased Shi Ji, Cai Yun, and Qiong Xiao's perception of the three of them significantly.

Moreover, Shi Ji and the others were not like Li Jingxiao, especially since they had heard that Yuan Hong was a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

They cultivate the physical body, possessing not only formidable martial arts and Taoist magic, but also the ability to transform and an indestructible body.

Shi Ji and others paid even more attention to and treated Yuan Hong with greater courtesy.

As a result, the treatment and status of Kim Dae-seung and the other six were also elevated to a higher level.

I only learned about the trouble caused by Nezha and Ao Bing from Yunxiao and Leizhenzi.

They almost got hurt themselves and also dragged Biyun into the mess.

Shi Ji was immediately enraged and, for the first time, decided to punish Nezha and Ao Bing severely.

Li Jingxiao naturally had no objection to this, since it was common for Nezha to be beaten.

This kid is already used to it.

However, Shi Ji was ultimately stubborn and soft-hearted. She said she would punish them, but in the end, she only punished Nezha and Ao Bing by making them copy books.

Biyun Tongzi only received a scolding, and that was the end of it.

A few days later, Li Jingxiao's level reached 220 (8/3 million).

That night, Li Jingxiao fought two battles with Shi Ji in Shi Ji's house.

After exhausting the woman to the point of collapse, she fell asleep with a smile on her lips and a blissful expression on her face.

He passed through the wall and entered the quiet room, where he sat cross-legged.

Focus your attention on the game.

The third map was indeed much larger, and more monsters spawned.

What Li Jingxiao didn't expect was that the BOSS of this level was actually Zhenyuan Daxian.

Even Wuzhuang Temple has appeared in the new map.

Li Jingxiao, still in the world of Journey to the West, had visited Wuzhuang Temple many times and was naturally very familiar with the place.

At a glance, you can see the ginseng fruit tree planted in the center of the Taoist temple's back garden, and the dozens of ginseng fruits on the tree.

Although the ginseng fruit was no longer of any use or effect to Li Jingxiao, he thought of the world of Journey to the West.

Zhen Yuanzi generously gave two ginseng fruits, eating one himself and giving the other to Baihuaxiu.

After that, Zhen Yuanzi never sent any more.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but recall the taste and texture of the fruit he had eaten years ago.

So when I saw Wuzhuang Temple and the Ginseng Fruit Tree on the game map, I immediately wanted to try them.

Li Jingxiao thought that defeating Zhen Yuanzi in the game wouldn't be too difficult.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuanzi's strength was indeed not outrageous, but once the old guy lost half of his health.

They would hide in Wuzhuang Temple, and then a divine light would envelop the entire temple.

No matter how Li Jingxiao attacked, the divine light could be easily blocked.

When Zhen Yuanzi went to the backyard, he picked a ginseng fruit from the ginseng fruit tree and ate it.

He quickly recovered all his health and mana.

Only after leaving Wuzhuang Temple did he engage in another fierce battle with Li Jingxiao.

Then it got stuck in a loop.

After several cycles, Li Jingxiao quickly realized...

This divine light must be the 'Earth Book,' a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Although this creature has little offensive power, its defensive capabilities are formidable.

As long as your feet are on the ground, the 'ground book' hangs above your head.

Unless the opponent possesses the power to shatter the primordial earth and reshape the world, it is impossible to break through the defense of this magical artifact.

Li Jingxiao used various techniques, including sword control, thunder magic, Samadhi True Fire, Samadhi Divine Wind, and Solar True Fire, but he still couldn't break the Earth Book.

In the end, even the Chaos Bell was brought out, but it still couldn't do anything to this treasure.

Li Jingxiao was so angry that he cursed loudly, but he was helpless.

Fortunately, after calming down, he suddenly raised his wrist.

Seeing the Vajra Bracelet transformed into a bracelet, Li Jingxiao finally smiled. He then reduced Zhen Yuanzi's health to less than half, after Zhen Yuanzi had been restored to full health and mana.

When he fled back to Wuzhuang Temple, he threw out a divine light.

The Vajra Bracelet suddenly transformed into a giant golden circle, facing the divine light-like Earth Book.

And I must say, the Vajra Bracelet truly lives up to its reputation as a bug-level treasure.

Whether it's weapons, magical treasures, or wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, anything that touches it will fall.

However, although Li Jingxiao withdrew the divine light, he discovered that what he had obtained was not the Book of Earth.

He couldn't help but start cursing again.

In the game, Zhen Yuanzi, without the protection of the Earth Book, is easily worn down by Li Jingxiao.

The ground was littered with magical treasures, weapons, elixirs, silver coins, and a large pile of fruit.

Li Jingxiao recognized it at a glance; it was a ginseng fruit.

With a casual wave of his hand, he collected all the fruits and other items that had dropped into his inventory.

Then a fruit that looked like a small doll appeared in my hand.

Li Jingxiao smelled it and indeed it smelled just like the ginseng fruit from Journey to the West.

If an ordinary person were to smell it, they would live for 360 years.

As soon as I opened my mouth and took a bite, I felt a surge of celestial energy flow into my abdomen.

Li Jingxiao then clearly felt that his internal magical power had increased slightly.

Moreover, it increases the maximum mana.

Simply put, if Li Jingxiao's internal magical power was 1 million before...

After eating this ginseng fruit, it became ten million and one hundred thousand.

Although it only increases the maximum mana by one-thousandth, if you eat a lot...

Over time, the increase in the maximum mana cap is quite considerable.

Moreover, there were a total of 30 ginseng fruits just now.

If you eat it all every day, your intake will increase by 3%.

In just over thirty days, your mana and mana cap will double.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can get 30 ginseng fruits every day.

Li Jingxiao quickly realized that the item dropped by the BOSS in this level was actually a ginseng fruit.

However, increasing the maximum mana limit is actually somewhat of a waste for Li Jingxiao.

After all, he has game elixirs.

But for others, it's a treasure that increases their strength.

Perhaps in the world of Investiture of the Gods, it is a good thing that can increase one's 'cultivation'.

In the world of fantasy and martial arts, melee fighters are a minority.

Therefore, the more magical power one has, the stronger one's strength will naturally be.

Among the other items that were dropped, a level 220 'Rejuvenating Elixir Wood Treasure Necklace' was also found.

Increases spell power by 135%, Insight by 36, and adds 80% mana regeneration speed.

It can also accumulate twice its own mana, replenishing the mana it has consumed at any time.

Li Jingxiao was overjoyed at the sight of it. With this treasure, he had an extra source of magical power.

But then Li Jingxiao suddenly realized that he could consume the pills dropped in the game.

Replenishing health and mana is very easy.

Moreover, with pills that instantly restore a percentage of one's mana, consuming two level-five golden pills is equivalent to restoring all mana.

Thinking about it this way, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but sigh, suddenly feeling that the BOSS of this level was not very useful to him.

As for the other weapons and magical treasures that were revealed, Li Jingxiao didn't fancy any of them.

I'll leave it in my inventory and leave it alone.

The next morning, Li Jingxiao, his four wives, and disciples including Nezha finished their morning exercise.

When he led his four wives inside for tea, he waved his hand.

Four ginseng fruits appeared on a jade plate lined with red silk.

As soon as the four women saw the fruit, they smelled a rich, ethereal fragrance of herbs and plants.

I immediately realized that this fruit must be something good.

Qiongxiao hurriedly asked, "Husband, what is this?"

Li Jingxiao smiled smugly and said, "This treasure is the Herb Rejuvenating Pill, also known as the Ginseng Fruit."

It was the beginning of chaos, the initial separation of primordial order.

A spiritual root that was formed before the earth was created.

It is called the 'Rejuvenating Fruit Tree'.

It takes three thousand years for it to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and three thousand years to mature.

If a person smells it, they will live for 360 years.

"Eat one, and you can live for 47,000 years."

Li Jingxiao deliberately didn't mention the quantity, guessing that even if the ginseng fruit's drop rate was low, it should be fine if it dropped a few times a month.

If 30 of them were to appear every day, that would be incredible.

Although all four women had already consumed the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, they no longer had any worries about their lifespan.

But who wouldn't want to taste this immortal fruit that can prolong life?
When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he stole and ate five gourds of golden pills in the Tushita Palace.

But when they arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, they learned about ginseng fruit from Pigsy and, unable to resist their greed, stole a few.

So after hearing this, Shiji, Caiyun, Qiongxiao, and Daji each reached out and ate one.

Fortunately, all four women were quite refined and wouldn't swallow them whole like Pigsy from Journey to the West.

I couldn't even taste what ginseng fruit tasted like.

However, Li Jingxiao could understand Old Zhu.

He was reincarnated as a wild boar at that time, so his cultivation progress was slow and he also had concerns about his lifespan.

If Li Jingxiao encountered a ginseng fruit that could grant him 47,000 years of life with just one bite, he would most likely have swallowed it whole as if it were a magic pill.

To avoid biting into the fruit one bite at a time, which would cause it to lose the spiritual essence of the plants and trees.

Only Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing, who didn't have to worry about their lifespans, had the confidence to eat bite by bite.

Don't be fooled by Sha Wujing's banishment to the Flowing Sand River; he wasn't reincarnated.

Naturally, he didn't have any of the worries that Pigsy had.

As Li Jingxiao had predicted, after Shi Ji and the other three finished eating, things turned out exactly as they had.

Suddenly, everyone's expression changed, and they hurriedly sat cross-legged to absorb the herbal and spiritual energy of the ginseng fruit.

After a short while, Qiongxiao was the first to wake up.

With a smile on her face, she looked at Li Jingxiao and said, "Husband, this immortal fruit can actually increase my cultivation and magical power!"

After saying that, she got up, went to Li Jingxiao's side, and hugged his arm tightly with both hands, shaking it slightly.

She said in a slightly coquettish and pleading tone, "My lord, I couldn't taste the flavor. Could you give me another one?"

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes at the woman.

There are still 25 ginseng fruits left, but Li Jingxiao is not sure if ginseng fruits will drop every day in the game.

Therefore, Qiongxiao wanted more, but Li Jingxiao naturally wouldn't agree.

It was only after Shiji, Caiyun, and Daji woke up one after another.

Like Qiongxiao, they all felt their own cultivation and magical power increase.

Immediately, just like Qiongxiao, they wished they could eat ten or eight of them.

Fairy Caiyun winked at Daji, who immediately understood.

Qiongxiao and Li Jingxiao, one on each side, clung to each other's arms and began to act coquettishly.

Meanwhile, Shi Ji massaged Li Jingxiao's shoulders, and Caiyun knelt down in front of him to massage his legs.

This immediately plunged Li Jingxiao into an endless world of tenderness.
