The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 514 Asking for a visit

It would be even better if my five wives were willing to take on the responsibility of teaching Nezha, Ao Bing, Bi Yun, Yun Xiao, and Lei Zhenzi.

The more free time you have, the more time you have for self-cultivation and leisure.

While Li Jingxiao sparred with his wives every morning to gain experience, he also made sure to take advantage of the experience points his disciples gained.

Although it's small, it adds up.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao was able to defeat Nezha, Ao Bing, Bi Yun, and their fellow disciples in just a few moves.

This experience is actually quite easy to gain.

Otherwise, Li Jingxiao has never been willing to do anything that is too time-consuming or inefficient.

With Li Jingxiao, a super master, as their sparring partner, Nezha and his five fellow disciples' strength indeed increased rapidly.

Despite Li Jingxiao's seemingly unstoppable momentum, he actually possesses an extremely wealth of experience in actual combat.

It could even be said that in the world of Journey to the West, there are few who have more close combat experience than him.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King, the Black Bear Spirit, Yang Jian, and the Green Ox Spirit in the Tushita Palace are all top-notch close combat masters.

But these people are all Li Jingxiao's sparring partners, and they are sparring partners who can fight anytime, anywhere.

In addition, there were several battles with the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Roc of Lion Camel Ridge.

Li Jingxiao not only has outstanding combat skills, but also first-class adaptability.

With a master like him as a sparring partner, it would be impossible for Nezha and his five fellow disciples, as well as five women including Shiji, to slow down their rate of strength increase.

Otherwise, his disciples and wives wouldn't be so devoted to him.

At the core of the teacher-student relationship and the husband-wife relationship, it is actually a relationship of interests.

Even love, in the end, is a choice.

If Li Jingxiao didn't have the ability, how could Shi Ji and the other women have willingly chosen to have no identity at all?

She only considered herself a Daoist partner and followed him wholeheartedly.
Nezha would not become his disciple, and Ao Bing would not rather be a nominal disciple than become his apprentice.

Only Biyun and Yunxia, ​​the two senior and junior siblings, had no choice but to become Li Jingxiao's disciples.

Of course, it was a great blessing for the brother and sister to be able to become Li Jingxiao's disciples.

Otherwise, he would have been shot to death by Nezha with his Heaven-Shaking Bow long ago.

Even Shi Ji was burned to death by Taiyi Zhenren using the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

The five women, including Shi Ji, agreed to teach several apprentices without hesitation.

Especially Daji, who previously made Nezha obedient and not go to Chaoge to serve King Zhou.

This made Daji feel a sense of compensation towards this boy.

Incidentally, out of love for Ao Bing, I also found him much more pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, Daji was the most proactive in teaching Nezha and Ao Bing.

Shi Ji then simply took over the task of teaching Bi Yun and Yun Xia.

These two little ones used to be Shi Ji's own pageboys, but now they have become Li Jingxiao's nominal disciples. Shi Ji's attitude towards them is also very different from before.

Moreover, the higher Biyun and Yunxia's future achievements and abilities, the more stable Shiji's position in Li Jingxiao's heart will be.

Therefore, Shiji was also proactive and serious about teaching the two boys.

Incidentally, Fairy Caiyun and Qiongxiao were also pulled along by Shiji, who would occasionally give Biyun and Yunxiao pointers.

Only Deng Chanyu wasn't very enthusiastic about this matter.

This girl herself is only at the Celestial Immortal level, too busy cultivating to have any time to teach Nezha and the others.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao had repeatedly instructed Deng Chanyu that the magic weapon "Five-Light Stone" and the unique skill of throwing stones should not be easily passed on to outsiders.

Even Li Jingxiao's disciples cannot pass it on.

Deng Chanyu could naturally understand Li Jingxiao's good intentions, so she didn't have any outstanding skills to teach Nezha and the others.

Naturally, they stopped caring.

Lei Zhenzi, however, was still a baby.

No one forced him to work hard in his cultivation.

With more free time, Li Jingxiao would often spend time playing with his wives while at home.

The five women also noticed that he had been acting out more often lately, and after a little thought, they quickly understood why.

She was happy to let her husband be idle.
-
While Li Jingxiao was enjoying himself at home, he would go to the Beihai camp in his spare time to drink and fight with the disciples of the Jie Sect, Wen Zhong, and the four generals of the Mo family.

That evening, after returning from Beihai Park, I had just landed in the garden when Biyun and Yunxiao hurried up to greet me.

He bowed and said, "Master, Master Taiyi and Daoist Yunzhongzi have come to visit."

Li Jingxiao frowned upon hearing this, but pondered for a moment.

He quickly guessed that the two men had come to win him over and bribe him because of the East China Sea rebels.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, having Nezha and Ao Bing help Li Jing fight a battle, and incidentally helping Li Jing get promoted and ennobled, also brought such a good thing.

Nodding to Biyun and Yunxia, ​​he asked as he walked towards the living room, "Is your senior brother here?"

Biyun looked at the sky; it was already evening.

He hurriedly replied, "The eldest brother took the junior brother to the second brother's place for lunch, and they should be back for lunch soon."

Upon hearing that Nezha had taken Lei Zhenzi with him, he ran off to play at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Li Jingxiao was not angry at all. On the contrary, he felt that Nezha and Lei Zhenzi were not there, so he was able to negotiate with Taiyi Zhenren and Yun Zhongzi.

That way we can have fewer worries.

It's definitely better to keep children away from this kind of blatant negotiation about interests.

Upon entering the living room, Taiyi Zhenren and Yun Zhongzi saw him return.

He quickly stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said hello.

After Li Jingxiao returned the greeting, they exchanged pleasantries and sat down according to their status as host and guest.

Then Biyun and Yunxiao brought in tea, serving tea to Li Jingxiao and also adding fresh tea to Yun Zhongzi and Taiyi Zhenren.

After another round of polite exchanges, and once the two boys had left...

Li Jingxiao finally got to the point, but he wasn't foolish enough to admit that he knew the Chan Sect was supporting the Dongyi people's rebellion.

Instead, he smiled and asked, "Did you two come here today to test the martial arts skills of Nezha and Lei Zhenzi?"

After saying that, he pretended to have a headache, sighed, and continued, "To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that..."

I have been very busy lately and have indeed neglected to discipline Nezha and Lei Zhenzi.

Why not send the two brothers back to the mountain with the two Daoist brothers and give them a proper lesson?

When Taiyi Zhenren and Yun Zhongzi heard this, they were actually quite tempted.

He took the two little ones back to the mountain to teach them for a few years, so that Nezha and Lei Zhenzi wouldn't have to learn from Li Jingxiao all the time and then not recognize them as their two masters in the future.

Just as he remembered the reason for his visit, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but wink at Yun Zhongzi.

Let's put aside the matter of hinting to the apprentice for now and discuss the important matters first.

Those who follow the Chan sect will not openly admit that they are the supporters behind the Dongyi people.

While scheming is one thing, many things can be done privately, and that's fine.

But if others find out, it will be incredibly embarrassing.

They just wanted to get Li Jingxiao away, or find a troublesome demon and ask Li Jingxiao to subdue it.

The only option is to find something that prevents Li Jingxiao from dealing with outside affairs.

However, Li Jingxiao's strength was too high. Several years ago, he single-handedly defeated Taiyi Zhenren and Chijingzi without any chance to fight back. Moreover, those two even brought out the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Yin-Yang Mirror, but they still couldn't do anything to Li Jingxiao.

At that time, everyone in the Chan Sect knew that Li Jingxiao's strength was at least at the Great Luo Realm.

Moreover, compared to ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals, Li Jingxiao could easily withstand the two great treasures, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Yin-Yang Mirror, simply by relying on his Taoist magic and supernatural powers.

It's clear that they are not only powerful, but they may also possess exceptionally powerful magical artifacts.

Whether it's the Investiture of the Gods or Journey to the West, one's own cultivation and strength are indeed the foundation for survival.

However, the effects of magical treasures and Taoist supernatural powers are, most of the time, more important than one's own cultivation level.

In terms of pure strength, Sun Wukong could defeat the two brothers, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who were begging for mercy.

However, the result was that Silver Horn only used the move "Whip Mountain Moves Stone" to summon Mount Sumeru, Mount Emei, and Mount Tai.

The pressure caused Sun Wukong to bleed from all seven orifices, and he almost died.

The Purple-Gold Red Gourd and the Golden Rope caused Sun Wukong to suffer defeat after defeat.

Of course, they may possess powerful treasures and magical abilities, but they lack sufficient strength.

No matter how good the magic weapon or how powerful the Taoist magic and supernatural abilities are, they cannot unleash their full potential.

If Li Jingxiao were to use his "Whip Mountain Moves Stones" technique at this moment, Sun Wukong would not have suffered as much as just bleeding from his seven orifices.

Of course, if Silver Horn weren't Laozi's attendant, he wouldn't have had the ability or the prestige.

He persuaded the mountain gods of Mount Sumeru, Mount Emei, and Mount Tai to agree to let Silver Horn move these three mountains to suppress Sun Wukong.

These three mountains represent Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

The mountain gods of these three mountains are not comparable to ordinary mountain gods.

They might have powerful backers.

Their own strength should not be low either.

Otherwise, do you really think that moving Mount Tai is so easy?
-
Yun Zhongzi had also fought Li Jingxiao, although it was only a brief exchange, Yun Zhongzi still lost decisively.

Therefore, he was well aware of how powerful Li Jingxiao was.

If we want Li Jingxiao to exorcise demons, then we need to find a demon who can at least fight Li Jingxiao to a standstill.

But where are the demons of the Great Luo Golden Immortal so easy to find?
Moreover, they have already reached the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Demons at this level are either powerful figures like Demon Kings or Demon Saints.

Or they are followers of Confucianism.

Or perhaps they have cultivated themselves to a high level and become virtuous people; how could they possibly still come out to cause trouble in one place?
Therefore, finding a worthy opponent for Li Jingxiao was a real headache for the members of the Chan Sect for quite some time.

In desperation, some suggested that they simply ask their master, Yuanshi Tianzun, to preach to Li Jingxiao.

Back then, Li Jingxiao followed Lady Shiji to Jin'ao Island and Biyou Palace to listen to the Tongtian Sect Leader preach.

Then the Chan Sect could also find a reason to summon Li Jingxiao to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, so that he could listen to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable preach with the Chan Sect disciples.

And even the reasons are easy to find.

Taiyi Zhenren and Yun Zhongzi stepped forward and said that Nezha and Lei Zhenzi had been learning their skills from him for many years.

Therefore, he owed Li Jingxiao a huge favor.

Only then did they invite Li Jingxiao to visit Yun Zhongzi's Daoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain, or Taiyi Zhenren's Daoist temple in Qianyuan Mountain and Jinguang Cave.

During his visit, which lasted only a few days, was the day when Yuanshi Tianzun preached to his disciples.

He took the opportunity to invite Li Jingxiao to go to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain to listen to a lecture.

Not everyone has the opportunity or qualification to listen to a sage's sermon.

Anyone who isn't a fool would be overjoyed.

Furthermore, the Chan Sect is the foremost of the three great sects in the world: Chan, Jie, and the Western Sect.

Only a fool would offend the Chan Sect.

Before the Investiture of the Gods war began, the Chan Sect revered Laozi as the Great Lord, which meant that the sect had two saints.

There is no doubt that it holds the position of the head of the three religions.

If we could win over Li Jingxiao to the Chan Sect, that would be a great help.

After all, Li Jingxiao not only defeated Yun Zhongzi, but the result of his sparring match with Zhao Gongming on the Three Immortal Islands had also been spread out from within the Jie Sect.

He defeated two Great Luo Golden Immortals, both of whom were disciples of famous sects.

The authenticity of this record is absolutely reliable, and no one would doubt Li Jingxiao's superior strength.

Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face to Yun Zhongzi, Zhao Gongming, and even the Chan and Jie sects.

Moreover, while Li Jingxiao was treating the disciples of the Jie Sect to drinks in Beihai, he also inevitably had to spar with them.

Over time, many people have been defeated by him.

No one doubted his abilities then.

While the disciples of the Chan Sect are hypocritical, hypocritical people often value face more than anything else.

They also care more about and know how to maintain their image.

Upon hearing that they were going to visit Zhongnan Mountain and Jinguang Cave, Li Jingxiao roughly guessed what the two men were thinking.

After only a moment's hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

Firstly, the forces behind the Dongyi are not the demons of the North Sea.

There weren't that many demons or cultivators, allowing Li Jingxiao to kill indiscriminately and gain a lot of experience.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao was not concerned about the Eastern Yi rebellion at all at this time.

Secondly, although the Chan Sect has few disciples, there are still 14 people including the Twelve Golden Immortals, Yun Zhongzi, and the Antarctic Immortal.

If you have the chance to drink and fight with these people, you'll definitely gain a lot of experience.

Thirdly, the people of the Chan Sect are hypocritical and ruthless. Rather than being schemed against by them in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to build good relations with them.

At least maintain a superficial relationship.

Incidentally, it also makes it clear to the people of the Chan Sect that they are not someone who can be easily targeted or schemed against.

In this way, during the future Investiture of the Gods war, the Chan Sect will not always be thinking of scheming against them.

Incidentally, Shiji, Caiyun, and Qiongxiao, three disciples of the Jie Sect, will also be excluded from the list of those targeted.

Fourthly, since we have met the Tongtian Sect Leader, we may have the opportunity to meet the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and even listen to his lectures.

Li Jingxiao would not let such an opportunity pass him by.

Then I will ask the Primordial Celestial Venerable to teach me the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts".

At this time, the "Taiqing Great Dao True Scripture" had been cultivated to the sixth level (198 million/500 million).

It took nearly two and a half years to accumulate 198 million proficiency points.

For Li Jingxiao, who was using cheat codes, the speed was very slow.

But if outsiders knew, they would be incredibly envious of him.

But Li Jingxiao had been using cheat codes for so long that he had come to think that his cultivation speed was a matter of course.

If this guy didn't have a good mentality, he would definitely try every means to get close to Sanqing.

As for the progress of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques", it was because he had been focusing on the "Great Purity Great Dao True Scripture" for the past two or three years.

Therefore, the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" is only at the sixth level (23/500).

It can be said that Li Jingxiao only used the supernatural powers and martial arts of this profound skill when he practiced with his wives, disciples and the Seven Freaks of Meishan every morning.

That's how you earn a little bit of proficiency related to this divine skill every day.

If one could listen to the Primordial Celestial Venerable preach, especially the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," one's proficiency would surely increase by hundreds of thousands.
