The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 518 Is there such a good thing?

When Nezha and Lei Zhenzi heard Li Jingxiao say that they had the opportunity to hear a sage preach, but missed this great opportunity because they fell asleep, they were shocked.

I felt a pang of regret immediately.

After a short while, Nezha thought about it with a bitter face and suddenly felt that if he didn't hear it, he didn't hear it.

Although the boy is not even five years old, he has a lot on his mind.

It wasn't that he didn't want to listen, but on the morning of the first day, he only understood a very small part before his head started to feel foggy.

After a moment of reflection, Nezha realized that he wasn't really to blame.

It's not that I don't want to listen, it's that I can't understand it at all.

It's actually a good thing to fall asleep.

Having figured this out, the boy muttered, "What can I do if you don't understand? It would be better if you went back, Master, and taught me and my fellow disciples more."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao frowned, but quickly smiled helplessly and rubbed Nezha's head.

This is essentially the same reason why elementary school students can't understand university courses.

Forcing it would be a bad idea.

No, the descriptions of primary school and university are not entirely accurate either.

When Yuanshi Tianzun preached the Dao, it wasn't all about the Great Dao of the Daluo Realm and beyond.

The first morning's lessons covered the very basics.

Although he had his own personal agenda when he talked about the Jade Purity Way, he was the leader of the Chan Sect and the founder of the Jade Purity Great Way.

There's a problem if you don't talk about the Way of Jade Purity.

After Nezha muttered something to Li Jingxiao, he secretly thought that Yuanshi Tianzun was indeed giving him a special lecture.

Therefore, not only did Nezha and Lei Zhenzi gain very little, but they also gained nothing.

Even among the fourteen second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, many became increasingly confused as the days went by.

So it's normal to not understand.

Then Li Jingxiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought to himself that if he wanted to hear the Primordial Celestial Venerable preach again...

They must demonstrate more abilities, if they can be of great help to the disciples of the Chan Sect.

Or it could provide great benefits to the Chan Sect. I believe it wouldn't be too difficult for Yuanshi Tianzun to preach to me one or two more times.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao quickly made up his mind to steer the conversation toward alchemy when he was talking with the members of the Chan Sect.

Li Jingxiao doesn't need to worry about being taught alchemy by members of the Chan Sect.

As for alchemy skills, he was second only to Laozi in Journey to the West.

Li Jingxiao knew all too well that alchemy relied on talent.

This isn't something you can learn or master simply by trying hard or being willing to endure hardship.

In Journey to the West, Laozi tried to train Golden Horn and Silver Horn, but unfortunately, the two brothers were not up to par.

Later, in order to free himself from the tedious and time-consuming process of alchemy, Li Jingxiao also taught Jinjiao and Yinjiao alchemy.

Even if you tell Golden Horn and Silver Horn the complete steps, principles, details, and precautions for refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

He even personally taught them how to refine pills, but the two brothers could only refine fifth- and sixth-grade golden pills.

Let alone the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, even with the Seven-Turn Golden Elixir, these two brothers have been stuck on how to control the flames.

Therefore, if you want to refine elixirs, you must first learn to control fire.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao used both gentle and strong fire simultaneously when refining elixirs.

The difficulty of starting and controlling the fire is countless times greater than the difficulty of Laozi's alchemy using only a gentle fire, also known as the Six Ding Divine Fire.

The very question of how the Six Ding Divine Fire and the Five-Colored Flames can coexist and divide their functions is enough to stump 99.99% of geniuses.

It would be strange if they could learn it.

Of course, Li Jingxiao's ability to so easily progress from the fifth and sixth level of Golden Elixir to refining the ninth level Golden Elixir was actually due to some kind of cheat code.

To be honest, Li Jingxiao's talent wasn't that great, but the cultivation technique he practiced could increase his three-dimensional attributes.

After a surge in physical constitution, innate talent, and comprehension, even an ordinary person can become a super genius.

Everything will be different.

This is why he prioritized cultivating the "Taiqing Great Dao True Scripture".

Each time this technique is upgraded, your physique, physical constitution, and comprehension all increase by 100.

Even if Li Jingxiao had only increased his three-dimensional attributes by one time, let alone five times, he would still become a super genius.

Furthermore, as long as Li Jingxiao's proficiency is sufficient during cultivation, he will not encounter situations where he gets stuck at a certain level.

This ability may not seem outstanding, but countless cultivators and immortals often suffer because they can't break through a certain realm, thus wasting countless time and energy.

Some people may even lose their mental balance because they cannot make a breakthrough for a long time.

They either rely on unorthodox methods to break through, thus falling into the demonic path.

Either they lose all their fighting spirit and simply give up, in which case there will be no possibility of further breakthroughs.

The members of the Chan Sect, in order to regain the face they had lost because Li Jingxiao had defeated them all by himself.

Naturally, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to discuss philosophy with Li Jingxiao again.

When they sat down to discuss the Dao again, Li Jingxiao directly agreed that this time they would only talk about alchemy.

The members of the Chan Sect were naturally unhappy.

They had previously discussed and decided to specifically choose areas where Li Jingxiao was not good at the competition.

If we only consider alchemy now, it's clearly a freebie.

But Li Jingxiao wasn't stupid. No matter how the people of the Chan Sect tried to persuade him, he always maintained an attitude that if they didn't agree, he would go home.

Anyway, Li Jingxiao has won once, so there won't be any more matches in the future.

That means they'll always be one step ahead of the Chan Sect.

This infuriated the members of the Chan Sect, yet they were powerless to do anything about it.

Although this is the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, it can be considered the main base of the Chan Sect.

However, if a fight is fought in a sage's arena, regardless of who wins or loses, the Primordial Heavenly Lord will surely punish the person.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, since even a Great Luo Golden Immortal like Yun Zhongzi lost to Li Jingxiao...

Of the others, only the Old Man of the South Pole has a chance of defeating him.

If it's a group fight, then winning is the same as losing.

Li Jingxiao, a rogue cultivator, was able to defeat the Chan Sect, who needed a numerical advantage to win.

That means all twelve Golden Immortals are useless.

Moreover, the thought of Li Jingxiao single-handedly defeating five of the seven immortal attendants of the Jie Sect in the Yin Shang camp in Beihai is quite telling.

Even the Twelve Golden Immortals weren't very confident; they believed they could defeat him by sending only five of them.

If six, seven, or eight people were sent out, and this got back to the Jie Sect, they would surely be ridiculed by the Jie Sect members.

Therefore, taking action is definitely not a good choice.

In the end, it was Guang Chengzi, the eldest disciple, who suddenly had an idea.

He looked at Li Jingxiao and said, "Master, how about we have three rounds of competition? First, we'll compete in weapon crafting, then in alchemy, and finally in formation formation. What do you say?"

Li Jingxiao's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, thinking to himself, 'Is there really such a good thing?'

At the same time, they understood what the people of the Chan Sect were up to.

It's simply a matter of 'coming back from a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1'.

During their previous discussions, the members of the Chan Sect already knew that Li Jingxiao's alchemy skills were extremely high.

However, in terms of weapon crafting, he was on par with Yun Zhongzi.

As for formations, to be honest, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable himself was not good at them, so he didn't teach his disciples much about them.

However, to say that Yuanshi Tianzun was not good at formations is to compare him with Tongtian Jiaozhu.

If it were anyone else, the sage would absolutely crush them.

However, weapon crafting is what the Chan Sect excels at.

Unfortunately, it seems that only Yun Zhongzi truly inherited the skills of Yuanshi Tianzun in weapon crafting.

Although others also studied it, they ultimately lacked talent, so their skill level was naturally not very good.

Of course, the members of the Chan Sect did not think they were inferior. They were all proud and arrogant, so how could they admit that they were not as good as others?
Li Jingxiao's agreement to the weapon crafting and formation competition was also driven by his own ulterior motives. Since Guang Chengzi proposed the weapon crafting competition, Li Jingxiao seized the opportunity to suggest that both sides give each other a magical artifact during the competition.

Whoever is the first to imitate and forge the opponent's magic weapon, and whose imitation is closest to the original, wins.

If it were really a contest of this, Li Jingxiao was absolutely confident of winning.

In the game's weapon crafting workshop, there is the ability to analyze magical artifacts.

Once analyzed and cracked, as long as there are enough materials, any amount can be refined.

Moreover, the higher the level of analysis and decryption, the closer the power of the counterfeit will be to the genuine product.

If a celestial artifact is further enhanced to +9, even a replica can surpass the power of the genuine article.

However, the weapon-refining workshop is not a panacea.

When Li Jingxiao snatched the Banana Leaf Fan from Golden Horn and Silver Horn at Lotus Mountain in the Journey to the West world.

After analysis, it was found that Laozi's banana leaf fan was transformed from a banana leaf on a primordial banana tree.

Although this thing can be analyzed, it lacks the natural banana leaf as a raw material.

However, they were unable to forge a replica that could rival the banana leaf fan.

Moreover, since both Laozi's banana leaf fan and the banana leaf fan in the hands of the Bull Demon King are innate objects, there is basically no crafting technique involved.

Therefore, even if a raw material that can replace the original banana leaf is found, the forged imitation is far less powerful than the genuine product.

Li Jingxiao had never considered imitating the two types of banana leaf fans.

Fortunately, I finally found a +9 celestial weapon in the new map. Its power and attributes are even better than Laozi's banana leaf fan.

In Journey to the West, Li Jingxiao accompanied Laozi in refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir at least five or six times a year.

Therefore, Laozi simply handed over the banana leaf fan in the Tushita Palace to Li Jingxiao for management a long time ago.

This made Li Jingxiao extremely familiar with this banana leaf fan.

Incidentally, it was also because of his control over and understanding of this fan that he was able to perfectly master the Six Ding Divine Fire.

Among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, there are quite a few powerful treasures.

The number one item is undoubtedly the Fantian Seal.

The second-ranked item is either the Yin-Yang Mirror or the Soul-Losing Bell.

The others are hard to rank, but the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe are all worth mentioning.

The Immortal Binding Rope, Heart-Piercing Nail, Primordial Chaos Banner, Demon-Subduing Pestle, Immortal-Slaying Sword, Pure Glass Bottle, and Dragon-Hiding Stake are all top-tier magical treasures.

There were many other spiritual treasures, but they were mostly unknown, so Li Jingxiao simply ignored them.

What Li Jingxiao most wanted to analyze was naturally the Fantian Seal.

This thing is specifically designed to hit people on the head.

Anyone with poor defensive capabilities would surely die if hit by it.

The only one who escaped this magical artifact was Yang Jian, who cultivated the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

Moreover, the one who wielded the Heaven-Turning Seal to smash Yang Jian was Yin Jiao, Guang Chengzi's disciple.

If it were Guang Chengzi, Yang Jian might not be able to withstand it either.

This magical weapon is also known as the "Holy Mother Killer".

They specialize in killing female cultivators of the Jie Sect.

Both Our Lady of Golden Light and Our Lady of Fire died at the hands of this treasure.

Even the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit, one of the four direct disciples of the Jie Sect, was struck by this treasure and revealed her true form.

Even the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, Duobao Daoren, was knocked down by this magic weapon.
-
The second thing Li Jingxiao wanted to analyze was the 'Soul-Losing Bell'.

This treasure is specifically designed to attack the opponent's soul, and its power is immense.

If one is caught off guard, one's soul and body will be annihilated.

The only one who is not afraid of this treasure is Nezha, who has transformed into a lotus root and has no three souls and seven spirits.

Li Jingxiao's skill in sonic attacks is quite high.

If one were to master the Soul-Slaying Bell, even a replica could be used as a trump card.

Moreover, the Soul-Slaying Bell is not the giant bronze bell found in temples.

It's just a small bell, making it extremely discreet when held in the hand.

If the opponent is not careful, they will be ambushed.
-
Once the competition was confirmed, Li Jingxiao immediately spoke up, mentioning that the first match would be a weapon crafting contest.

How to compare is up to him.

The members of the Chan Sect wanted to refute, but Li Jingxiao said something.

It's only fair if you make one request and I make another.

Furthermore, during the second alchemy competition, the Chan Sect could also propose what kind of pills to refine.

Now the members of the Chan Sect had no reason to object.

Upon hearing Li Jingxiao's words, both sides took out a magical artifact and handed it to the other for observation and deciphering.

Then, when the requirements for refining imitations and so on were stated, the members of the Chan Sect were immediately dumbfounded.

If you bring out a low-level magic weapon, it's like giving points to the opponent.

But if the magic weapon is of a high level, there's a risk that Li Jingxiao might actually be able to break it.

Since Li Jingxiao had his own ulterior motives, the first thing he did was to take out the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords.

+9 Level 110 Heavenly Sword - Shushan Treasure.

Sharpness +117, Demon Subduing +117, Evil Extermination +117.

It is changeable and has no fixed form.

Normal attack silver chain state

Restrain your magical power, physical strength, and soul.

+9的120级雷炎剑——锋利+138、降魔+138、诛邪+138。

Thunder Magic Power +245%.

Simultaneously wielding the Heavenly Strike Sword doubles attack power.

These two magical treasures are indeed quite powerful, and they are especially effective against demons and evil spirits.

As for the Heavenly Sword's ability to bind, trap, and lock people, it is basically ineffective against Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, the Chan Sect also possesses similar magical treasures.

Ju Liusun's Immortal-Binding Rope, and Puxian Zhenren's Rainbow Rope.

Manjushri's Demon-Binding Rope and Taiyi Zhenren's Hun Tian Ling (given to Nezha).

They all have the attribute of binding or locking people.

In particular, Ju Liusun's Immortal Binding Rope is extremely powerful.

Li Jingxiao didn't feel the need to keep the attributes of the Heavenly Sword a secret.

As for the Thunderflame Sword, it enhances the power of thunder magic by 245%.

In Journey to the West, when Li Jingxiao consulted the Three Pure Ones, he learned and mastered the thunder magic of Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing.

He also created the "Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method" based on the three schools of thunder magic and the Five Thunder Orthodox Method among the Thirty-Six Arts of the Heavenly Gang.

When cultivated to the mythical level, the lightning magic attribute is enhanced by 500%, and the power of lightning magic is enhanced by 500%.

Lightning resistance has also been increased many times over.

Li Jingxiao himself hadn't even figured out the exact amount.

However, it should never be less than five times the resistance to lightning.

Moreover, the +9 Five Directions Five Thunder Pearl Immortal Artifact also has the ability to absorb lightning.

In addition, Li Jingxiao possessed a body full of defensive magical artifacts, and his physical body and resistance to magic were enhanced by cultivating the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

Li Jingxiao was not afraid that the disciples of the Chan Sect might learn something from the Thunder Flame Sword and the Heavenly Strike Sword and then use it to threaten him.

Li Jingxiao took out two immortal swords, one gleaming with lightning and the other resembling a bamboo whip.

The first thought that crossed the minds of the members of the Chan Sect was the pair of swords, male and female, in Guang Chengzi's hands.
