The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 500: Able to Determine 'Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire'

After a few head-on exchanges, Lingya Xian and Li Jingxiao immediately understood the frustration of Jin Guangxian and Qiushou Xian.

The reason was that Li Jingxiao's golden cudgel was too powerful, and every two strikes would inevitably result in a double critical hit.

The more force changes, the harder it becomes to resist.

In less than five moves, Li Jingxiao broke through the defense of the Yin-Yang Sword and struck the guy on the shoulder with a stick.

I immediately felt like my entire shoulder no longer belonged to me.

However, as a close attendant of the Tongtian Sect Leader, his physical cultivation was not as advanced as Li Jingxiao's.

However, he managed to withstand the blow thanks to his own physical defense.

Moreover, this guy's true form is a white elephant, with thick skin and flesh, making its physical defense quite good.

Then Li Jingxiao kicked him and sent him flying several miles, crashing through the wooden fence of the camp and collapsing more than ten meters of it.

Jin Guangxian, who had just been knocked away, had just taken out his magic weapon, the 'Four Symbols Pagoda'.

Before it could even be used, Lingya Xian was defeated.

They were frozen in place.

I don't know whether to continue using the 'Four Symbols Tower' and fight Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao only glanced at the 'Four Symbols Pagoda' a few times before he could tell that this magical artifact was used to 'suppress the primordial energy of the four directions'.

I immediately lost interest.

This magical artifact is effective against magicians, but it is basically useless against Li Jingxiao, who has cultivated the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" and whose physical body is already extremely strong.

Moreover, many formations also have the function of 'suppressing vital energy'.

Li Jingxiao even suspected that there was a formation inside the 'Four Symbols Pagoda' that suppressed vital energy.

Therefore, in Li Jingxiao's eyes, this thing was like a chicken rib.

However, since we've already started, we definitely need to gain experience.

Li Jingxiao took a step forward, using the supernatural power of "Diving into the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth," and instantly arrived beside Jin Guangxian.

They also hit this guy on the arm with the stick.

In an instant, Jin Guangxian was defeated.

Three notifications, totaling over 1.4 million experience points, also sounded in Li Jingxiao's mind.

Judging from their appearance, all three of them are at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

No wonder the 'Seven Immortals' held a position in the Jie Sect second only to the Four Great Disciples.

But it wasn't long before Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian recovered.

Feeling ashamed, he immediately started clamoring for another fight.

Li Jingxiao knew that these two guys were unwilling to accept defeat, so they naturally didn't mind gaining more experience.

His gaze fell upon Qiu Shou Xian, who had already been beaten and was now behaving himself.

Qiu Shou Xian hurriedly shook his head; he wasn't like Ling Ya Xian and Jin Guang Xian, those two idiots.

They knew that if they continued fighting, they wouldn't be able to beat Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao forcibly took away Qiu Shou Xian's magic weapon, the "Taiji Talisman Seal".

If you really offend Li Jingxiao, he might not return it.

However, Li Jingxiao not only wanted to gain more experience, but also thought that the 'Tai Chi Seal' being analyzed in the game's weapon-refining workshop would still need a lot of time to be fully analyzed.

The 'Tai Chi Talisman Seal' is an innate spiritual treasure. The difficulty in analyzing such innate objects is much greater than that of magical treasures forged later in life.

Seeing that Qiu Shou Xian was unwilling to fight anymore, and even less willing to offend him.

Li Jingxiao quickly agreed to the duel between Lingya Xian and Jin Guangxian.

Now Qiu Shou Xian had no choice but to agree, otherwise he would definitely be blamed by Ling Ya Xian and Jin Guang Xian.

However, the three brothers had completely different attitudes.

Two wanted to save face, but one dared not offend Li Jingxiao.

So when they tried to coordinate, their teamwork was completely lacking.

Li Jingxiao was already able to overpower the three of them, so winning would be even easier for him now.

Seeing that he wanted to stall for time, but because the three of them had no coordination, Li Jingxiao couldn't even go easy on them.

Left with no other choice, he suddenly had an idea.

He glanced at the listless Qiu Shou Xian and thought to himself that he might as well knock this guy unconscious with a stick.

As long as Qiu Shou Xian faints, it can buy at least one or two hours of time.

Then, under the pretext of apologizing, he invited Qiu Shou Xian, Jin Guang Xian, and Ling Ya Xian to drink.

Getting the three of them drunk would buy them a lot of time.

Or he could simply pretend to be drunk and wait until he deciphers the Taiji talisman before returning it to Qiu Shou Xian.

If one day isn't enough, we can simply stay in Chentang Pass and not return to Beihai.

Once the 'Tai Chi Seal' is deciphered, all we need to do is collect all the materials.

The weapon forging workshop in the game can forge magical artifacts with the same power as the 'Tai Chi Seal'.

Moreover, this magical artifact can change its appearance, making it impossible for people to tell that it is a counterfeit Tai Chi talisman.

Li Jingxiao insisted on analyzing this treasure simply because it could stabilize 'earth, water, wind, and fire'.

It is essentially a combination of the magical artifacts 'Wind-Stabilizing Pearl', 'Fire-Stabilizing Pearl', 'Water-Stabilizing Pearl', and 'Earth-Imprisoning Pearl'.

Although its attack power is not good, if it is strengthened to +9 and then further strengthened to the level of immortal energy with immortal stones.

It might even be able to imprison the Samadhi True Fire, Samadhi Divine Wind, and Samadhi Divine Water.

If that's the case, then this treasure is truly extraordinary.

From now on, anyone who plays with fire or is skilled in wind, water, or earth-based Taoist magic will find their magic ineffective when they encounter Li Jingxiao.

Even if it cannot completely suppress them, it should be able to weaken the power of these four types of magic.

If all four types of magic are countered, more than 90% of cultivators will have to behave themselves when they see Li Jingxiao.

Upon thinking of this, Li Jingxiao took a sudden step forward and appeared behind Qiu Shou Xian.

He swung his golden cudgel and struck the blue-haired lion on the head.

With a loud 'clang,' not only was Qiu Shou Xian knocked unconscious, but a bump quickly appeared on his head.

It looks like a fleshy horn that hasn't grown out yet.

Then Li Jingxiao grabbed his collar and casually tossed him to Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong immediately flew up and embraced Qiu Shou Xian.

They were very careful with their movements.

He was afraid that when he caught Qiu Shou Xian, he would not be able to control his strength and cause Qiu Shou Xian to suffer secondary damage.

Seeing this, Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian were immediately discouraged.

Knowing that the two brothers had no chance to regain their dignity, they realized they had no chance.

I might as well admit defeat, lest I end up like Qiu Shou Xian, knocked unconscious.

Even as they conceded defeat, the two brothers continued to curse and swear at Qiu Shou Xian.

In everyone's eyes, if Qiu Shou Xian hadn't been so passive in the fight, the three of them might have actually had a chance to win.

Even if we don't win in the end, we won't lose so badly.

Therefore, even Wen Zhong didn't know how to advise Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian against cursing Qiushou Xian.

However, Qiu Shou Xian had already been hit by Li Jingxiao's stick and was unconscious, so there was no way to really do anything to him.

Nezha, Ao Bing, the Seven Monsters of Meishan, and Shi Ji cheered.

However, Shi Ji was, after all, a disciple of the Jie Sect. After cheering a few times, she noticed that more than a dozen of her fellow disciples were looking at her.

She quickly suppressed her smile, but walked briskly toward Li Jingxiao.

However, with so many people around, Shi Ji was too embarrassed to jump into Li Jingxiao's arms.

He could only cling tightly to Li Jingxiao's arm and whisper his congratulations. But Nezha didn't care about all that; he didn't know the three Qiu Shou Xian brothers anyway.

I came to Beihai just to join in the fun.

Even though Wen Zhong had taken good care of him these past few days and taught Nezha many profound principles.

But in Nezha's heart, no matter how good Wen Zhong was, he was not as good as his master Li Jingxiao.

That's why this kid was the loudest.

Even a dozen or so disciples of the Jie Sect glared at him with dissatisfaction.

Nezha simply toned it down a bit and stopped shouting and cheering.

But the smile on his face was impossible to hide.

As for the Seven Eccentrics of Meishan, Li Jingxiao originally thought that these seven people would be concerned about the opinions of Wen Zhong and others because they wanted to become officials.

Unexpectedly, these seven guys had just come from Meishan and were not yet familiar with the ways of the world.

They all bowed to Li Jingxiao and loudly congratulated him.

This made the members of the Jie Sect even more dissatisfied.

While Li Jingxiao was happy and satisfied, he suddenly felt that he should take the opportunity to damage the relationship and feelings between Shiji and the disciples of the Jie Sect.

This is a good thing for Shiji, as well as Fairy Caiyun and Qiongxiao.

To prevent our three women from being tricked into joining the war when the Investiture of the Gods begins.

If they incur the wrath of the Jie Sect now, no one will come to them for help in the future.

Of the more than ten thousand disciples of the Jie Sect, only a dozen or so were recruited by Wen Zhong to participate in the war.

Actually, not many people participated in the great battle because they were fooled by Shen Gongbao.

To put it bluntly, there are tens of thousands of people in the Jie Sect. No matter how eloquent Shen Gongbao is, he can't reach or fool everyone.

Otherwise, it would be a contest of strength between the second and third generation disciples.

With their numerical advantage, the Jie Sect had already defeated the dozen or so members of the Chan Sect.

In Li Jingxiao's eyes, the real culprit who brought about the utter destruction of the Jie Sect was none other than Daoist Duobao.

If this guy hadn't lied and sowed discord in front of the Tongtian Sect Leader, there might not have been a war of ten thousand immortals.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao did not stop Nezha and Ao Bing from cheering.

He praised the Seven Eccentrics of Meishan several times.

The dozen or so members of the Jie Sect who witnessed this, along with Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian, gritted their teeth in anger.

However, he couldn't defeat Li Jingxiao in a fight, so he ended up blaming Shi Ji for all his anger.

They felt that as a member of the Jie Sect, Shi Ji should simply refrain from influencing Li Jingxiao.

They don't even know how to properly discipline Nezha, Ao Bing, and the Seven Monsters of Meishan.

As a result, none of the disciples and servants had any respect for the Jie Sect.

Even Wen Zhong thought to himself, "A married woman is indeed like water spilled from a cup."

She only had her husband in her heart and felt no affection for her master's teachings.

But since she found a good man, even if these members of the Jie Sect were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to really do anything to Shi Ji.

Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian were attendants of Tongtian Jiaozhu. Their strength and status in the Jie Sect were second only to the four direct disciples and Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao.

All three of them suffered defeat after defeat against Li Jingxiao, which shows that Li Jingxiao's strength is at least at the Great Luo Realm.

With seven helpers, including Yuan Hong, by his side, ordinary disciples of the Jie Sect wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Li Jingxiao.

Even if they gather a dozen or so helpers, they might not be able to win.

As a result, the members of the Jie Sect were dissatisfied with Li Jingxiao, but at the same time had to admire him.

When Li Jingxiao offered to take out the pills, saying he wanted to heal Qiu Shou Xian's injuries.

Then he said that he would invite the three immortals with the tufted head and everyone else to drink as an apology for not stopping himself.

The members of the Jie Sect looked at each other, and then all of them readily went to the banquet.

Some even suddenly thought to themselves, "Anyway, I'm just an outer disciple."

There's no need for us to stand up for Qiu Shou Xian and his two companions.

They might not even appreciate it, and might even think you're meddling because you've lost face.

Moreover, some people were thinking that Li Jingxiao had won two games fair and square, yet he had to take the initiative to host a banquet to apologize. What more could they expect?
It is evident that human nature is complex, and with so many fellow disciples, it is indeed difficult for everyone to be a true brother.

It's normal for everyone to have their own little thoughts and concerns.

Not to mention, when faced with benefits, those with fewer resources may even feel a sense of schadenfreude.

Li Jingxiao, focused on gaining experience, didn't care about the spirit wine at all.

After the banquet, Li Jingxiao truly realized that most of the disciples of the Jie Sect were indeed straightforward.

No wonder he was easily fooled and disregarded the repeated instructions from the Tongtian Sect Leader not to get involved in worldly affairs.

He went to cause trouble for Jiang Ziya, and in the end, like adding fuel to the fire, he was put on the list of gods.

Jin Guangxian and Lingya Xian, who initially had a lot of opinions about Li Jingxiao, started to treat him like a brother after they got drunk.

After Li Jingxiao got the Jie Sect members drunk, they all forgot about the Taiji Talisman.

When Li Jingxiao brought Shiji back to Chentang Pass, Wen Zhong slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, "What a fool I was!"

However, Wen Zhong couldn't bring himself to chase after Li Jingxiao to get the Taiji Talisman.

Moreover, in Wen Zhong's mind, Nezha and Ao Bing were still in the camp.

Given Li Jingxiao's cultivation level, it's practically impossible for him to do something like abandoning his disciple for a mere innate spiritual treasure.

Besides, Li Jingxiao was, in the end, also a son-in-law of the Jie Sect.

So Wen Zhong thought of this and simply pretended to have forgotten about it.

Li Jingxiao returned to Chentang Pass late at night after the weapon-refining workshop finished analyzing the Taiji talisman.

Naturally, they lost interest in this magical artifact.

Once he had won over Shiji, Caiyun, Qiongxiao, Daji, and Deng Chanyu...

He immediately went to his study and began to examine the weapon-refining knowledge analyzed by the weapon-refining workshop.

In the Lotus Mountain of the Journey to the West world, Li Jingxiao explained how he stole the Seven Star Sword, the Golden Rope, and the Banana Leaf Fan from Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

However, the banana leaf fan is made from the leaves of the innate banana tree. After analysis, if you want to make the banana leaf fan, you must first obtain the same innate banana leaf.

That's why the game version of the Banana Leaf Fan wasn't made.

The Seven Star Sword and the Golden Rope, once analyzed, were of little use to Li Jingxiao.

Later, he was busy refining pills, cultivating, gaining experience to level up, and grinding monsters in the game.

Naturally, there was no time to refine weapons.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao was indeed not proficient in formations and weapon crafting.

However, Li Jingxiao was, after all, Laozi's direct disciple.

In Journey to the West, Laozi is not only one of the Three Pure Ones, but also a first-class master of weapon crafting and alchemy.

Although they were said to be accompanying Laozi in refining elixirs, the master and disciple were actually quite adept at refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

Therefore, during the forty-nine days of each alchemy session, most of the time was spent either cultivating or listening to Laozi preach.

Occasionally, the old man would still explain the methods of weapon forging to Li Jingxiao.

It's impossible to say that Li Jingxiao has absolutely no skill in weapon crafting.

For Li Jingxiao, unless he's forging a magic weapon of the Vajra Bracelet level, he'd rather grind monsters in a game every day than forge weapons.

The powerful magical artifacts that appear in the game are no less powerful than those crafted by Laozi.

The Immortal Binding Rope has a drawback: it can only bind people weaker than Li Jingxiao.

However, the drawbacks of the golden rope are even greater.
