The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 532 Unexpected
The Chan Sect plotted to obtain Li Jingxiao's Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, while Li Jingxiao took the opportunity to gain more experience from the Chan Sect members.

However, during the month Li Jingxiao stayed at home, he probably played cards and sang operas with his wife more often than before.

With Yang Jian, Jinzha, and Muzha coming to seek his guidance, they, along with the Seven Monsters of Meishan, became Li Jingxiao's experience points.

They fight at least once a day.

Sometimes, when Li Jingxiao could easily defeat Yang Jian and Yuan Hong, these two boys not only didn't back down, but relied on the indestructible body of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

Instead, he increasingly wanted to fight Li Jingxiao more to increase his combat experience.

Li Jingxiao naturally wished someone would act as his punching bag.

So, Li Jingxiao was promoted one level in just one month.

At this point, his level was already 234 (1.6 million/4.4 million).

However, compared to before when I stayed at home every day, I accumulated less than ten million experience points in total.

When discussing the Dao with those from the Chan Sect, they would gain experience of fifty to sixty million, or even hundreds of millions of points a day.

There are indeed far fewer.

Therefore, when Li Jingxiao discussed the Dao with the people of Chan Sect, his attitude was very upright.

The topics of discussion were mostly related to Taoist magic and supernatural powers, formations, and weapon crafting.

As for alchemy, as long as Li Jingxiao doesn't bring it up, the people of the Chan Sect will never change the subject to alchemy.

Moreover, Guang Chengzi and the others have probably met together many times over the past month to discuss countermeasures.

Therefore, during this discussion, the members of the Chan Sect deliberately steered the topic toward the Thirty-Six Arts of the Heavenly Gang.

Of course, at this time, the complete and well-formed Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Techniques did not yet exist.

But many supernatural abilities have actually existed for a long time; it's just that no one has compiled them into a book yet.

Upon meeting the people of the Chan Sect, Li Jingxiao deliberately steered the conversation towards several types of Heavenly Divine Powers.

He couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

In Journey to the West, Laozi probably found it troublesome and simply threw the "Heavenly Book" to Li Jingxiao.

Let him learn the 108 arts of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends on his own.

Therefore, when it comes to familiarity with the Heavenly Gang Divine Power, Li Jingxiao is confident that he is no less skilled than the direct disciples of the Chan and Jie sects.

Once the discussion began, Li Jingxiao quickly discovered that these guys' understanding of the Heavenly Gang Divine Power was actually quite superficial.

As for the "Manipulating Creation" and "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations" techniques in the Heavenly Gang Divine Powers, even a sage might not dare to claim that he has fully mastered these two techniques.

Li Jingxiao knew he didn't have that talent, but the other Heavenly Gang Techniques were relatively easier.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao quickly lost more than he won, which angered the members of the Chan Sect, and also made them realize that they had devised a strategy to defeat him.

Not only did it amount to nothing, but it actually became an advantage for Li Jingxiao.

I felt incredibly frustrated and helpless.

However, Li Jingxiao and the members of the Chan Sect kept talking about the Heavenly Gang Divine Power.

The disciples of three generations, including Yang Jian, Jinzha, Muzha, Nezha, and Tu Xingsun, who were listening from the sidelines, benefited greatly.

Such as 'Golden Light Across the Earth', 'Summoning Wind and Rain', 'Subduing Dragons and Tigers', 'Transforming from Fetus to Form', 'Size at Will', etc.

Yang Jian and the others had at most studied it before, or had only heard of it.

But after listening for a day, I've gained some understanding and insights.

However, the members of the Chan Sect deliberately avoided discussing the technique of "turning steel into the ground".

Li Jingxiao understood after a moment's thought that Ju Liusun's specialty was earth magic.

The technique that counters earth-based magic is 'turning earth into steel'.

If it were discussed publicly, it would be tantamount to revealing the magic that restrains Juliusun to the public.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao speculated that among the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, only Juliusun might be able to use the technique of "turning steel into the ground".

If Li Jingxiao were Ju Liusun, he would never discuss the "pointing to the ground to turn steel" technique with outsiders in front of his fellow disciples.

However, while the members of the Chan Sect may lack cultivation and realm, their foundation and vision are still quite good.

Despite Li Jingxiao's numerous victories and few defeats in the debate on the first day, his weakness lies in his inability to refute the knowledge points of the Chan Sect members.

Cultivators at Li Jingxiao's level are able to correctly recognize their own shortcomings and weaknesses, which means they are working to make up for those shortcomings.

Li Jingxiao understood this, and so did everyone in the Chan Sect.

That's why they all gathered at Mount Kongtong and argued fiercely with Li Jingxiao, but no one got angry or embarrassed because they lost the debate.

Moreover, in order to gain more experience, Li Jingxiao had been specifically targeting a few of the fourteen second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect who were only Golden Immortals or those with later cultivation levels of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Although these people were often refuted by Li Jingxiao until they were red in the face, they benefited more than his most powerful fellow disciples such as Randeng, Antarctic Immortal, Yun Zhongzi, and Guang Chengzi.

Therefore, the higher the cultivation level of a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, the more actively they participate in such discussions and debates, as long as they set aside their pride.

After the first day of debates, Li Jingxiao glanced at the character rankings.

When I reached level 234 (2.4 million/4.4 million), I had over 8 million experience points, and I was grinning from ear to ear.

If it weren't for the fact that the members of the Chan Sect were seeing that they were losing quite badly today, they would have taken the initiative to suspend this debate.

They said that the two fellow students wanted to discuss the topics for their debates over the next few days.

Li Jingxiao wanted to debate with these guys until dawn.

As for the Five-Rank Golden Elixir, Li Jingxiao directly lost more than thirty of them, not caring at all.

Instead, he secretly rejoiced.

Since there's a wager, if Li Jingxiao loses, he has to give away a five-stage Golden Elixir.

If you win, you'll naturally get some good stuff.

In the following days, Li Jingxiao lost more than thirty fifth-level golden pills, but in return he received a considerable number of Jade Purity Creation Pills.

In return, they received some rare and precious materials that even Li Jingxiao coveted.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao also witnessed the dozen or so kinds of elixirs in the possession of the Chan Sect.

To be honest, Yuanshi Tianzun's alchemy skills are indeed inferior to those of Taishang Laojun.

In terms of formations, it is no match for the Tongtian Sect Master.

But this old man was arrogant and haughty.

The time and energy spent on studying and refining alchemy and formations far exceeded Li Jingxiao's expectations.

In addition to more than a dozen kinds of elixirs, Li Jingxiao also won several elixir formulas from the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

When they had nothing left to offer after such a defeat, they had no choice but to bring out a number of rare and precious materials, which also ended up in Li Jingxiao's pocket.

As for the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, during the entire seven-day debate, the highest number of consecutive wins by the Chan Sect members was only five.

This left Guang Chengzi and the others both expectant and frustrated.

Then, unsurprisingly, he very actively arranged a time and place with Li Jingxiao for another discussion next month.

As the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Guang Chengzi's first gathering to discuss the Dao was held at Mount Kongtong, and no one thought there was anything wrong with that.

However, there was still some debate within the Chan Sect regarding the venue for the second debate.

The reason is simple: while Yang Jian and the others were acting as Taoist acolytes, they also listened for a full seven days.

They all told their masters that they had gained a lot.

Given this, the location for the second debate naturally became the target of contention among the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

Li Jingxiao didn't care about any of that. In any case, once he had chosen a good location, Yang Jian, Jinzha, and Muzha would most likely be the ones to inform him.

When Li Jingxiao brought Nezha back to Chentang Pass, he was already at level 235 (2.1 million/4.5 million).

For several days after returning home, this guy had a constant smile on his face. And as soon as he got home, he took all five of his wives to the hot spring valley in Skull Mountain for a soak in the hot springs.

When Li Jingxiao and Shi Ji returned to Li Garden in Chentang Pass, the maids in the house easily noticed that their five wives all appeared languid and charming.

The older maids quickly realized what their masters and ladies had gone out to do.

The maids looked at Li Jingxiao with a mixture of shyness and anticipation.

Unfortunately, although Li Jingxiao is fond of women, he is not the kind of lustful man who will take any pretty woman into his house.

Moreover, if we're really talking about looks and temperament, then women who have achieved immortality through cultivation are definitely more beautiful.

It also provides more experience.

At the same time, one must also have a certain degree of fame.

Ideally, she should be the female lead or supporting character in some world; that's Lee Kyung-hyo's standard for choosing his women.

Of course, she would have to be so beautiful that even he would be amazed.

Li Jingxiao certainly wouldn't let that go either.

After bringing it home, it will be just like Daji back then.

Consuming three to five Nine-Turn Golden Pills can grant one the title of Immortal, and even allow one to break through to the Taiyi Realm.

Li Jingxiao prepared gifts for Yunxiao and Bixiao at home before taking Qiongxiao to the Three Immortal Islands.

Upon seeing his two sisters-in-law, not only did Li Jingxiao's eyes light up, but Qiongxiao was also slightly surprised and taken aback.

It was obvious at a glance that the two women had dressed up deliberately.

Yunxiao had always been dressed simply, wearing hemp shoes and silk sashes.

To put it simply, once one's cultivation and level of attainment reach a certain point, they no longer care about or are willing to waste time and energy on dressing up.

As for Bixiao, this girl has always been impulsive and straightforward.

She's not someone who cares too much about dressing up or what she wears.

But today the two sisters were dressed up in their finest attire, which made Li Jingxiao suddenly realize that he needed to work even harder.

Maybe it won't be long before I can bring the two sisters home together.

However, before that, we still need to rely on Yunxiao and Bixiao to spread the news of the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill and the Five-Turn Golden Pill to the ears of the Tongtian Sect Leader and the four disciples of Biyou Palace.

But Li Jingxiao would certainly not specifically ask Yunxiao and Bixiao to be messengers.

If you actually do that, your ulterior motives will be too obvious.

Moreover, seeing that Yunxiao and Bixiao knew to dress up before meeting him, he was quite surprised.

Li Jingxiao only thought for a few seconds before deciding to change the messenger to his brother-in-law, Zhao Gongming.

So as not to make Yunxiao and Bixiao think that his purpose in contacting the two sisters was not pure.

If you want to pursue either of them again, the difficulty will increase several times over.

Even the happy event of becoming Daoist partners was abruptly cut short before it even began.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao was not in a hurry to bring up the matter of the Golden Elixir.

Instead, he reminisced with his two aunts on the Three Immortals Island, discussing the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Use words to test and gauge each other's feelings.

Once she was certain that Yunxiao and Bixiao were indeed subtly interested in her, she gave a very veiled response.

Having understood Li Jingxiao's hint, Yunxiao and Bixiao looked at Li Jingxiao again, their eyes filled with a hint of joy, while their faces unconsciously showed a shy expression.

If Li Jingxiao could see it, Qiongxiao could naturally see it too.

The three sisters have lived together since birth.

No one knows Yunxiao and Bixiao better than Qiongxiao.

Qiongxiao had been trying to match her husband with her two sisters, and she noticed that Yunxiao and Bixiao hadn't seen each other for less than half a year.

She developed romantic feelings for her own husband.

She was both curious and eager for the three sisters to become Li Jingxiao's Daoist partners.

So on the first night, Qiongxiao used the excuse that she hadn't seen her two sisters for a long time to send Li Jingxiao back to her cave alone.

Qiongxiao then took Bixiao with her and they lived together in the cave of their eldest sister, Yunxiao.

No one knows what the three sisters talked about that night, but the next day, not long after Li Jingxiao got up...

Then she saw Bixiao bringing her breakfast with several maids.

Even after becoming an immortal, Li Jingxiao still retained his habits of enjoying delicious food, fine wine, and sleeping.

To put it bluntly, he's a heavy drinker and womanizer, and he can't shake that habit.

Of course, it's true that I like women.

It's true that people want to gain experience to level up their characters and then farm higher-level maps.

They even use lust to cover up the secret of gaining experience and improving their cultivation and realm.

If outsiders knew that he was fond of women, they would easily guess that he was practicing a dual cultivation technique.

They rely on dual cultivation to improve their cultivation level.

In the eyes of most immortals and gods, not only did he take a shortcut, but his future potential will not be very high.

There are still significant risks and hidden dangers.

In this way, Li Jingxiao's threat level will be reduced.

Li Jingxiao was indeed taking shortcuts. In the past, he himself was somewhat worried that relying on cheats to level up might leave some hidden dangers.

Having already experienced three worlds and with his cultivation approaching the top tier below the Saint level, he hadn't discovered any problems or hidden dangers within himself.

Li Jingxiao was no longer as worried as before.

Of course, more importantly, Li Jingxiao has never encountered any inner demons or other evil forces.

It was as if all the demons were born to avoid him.
-
After serving breakfast to Li Jingxiao with several maids, Bixiao led him to the cliffside pavilion outside the cave.

Li Jingxiao could tell at a glance that this girl definitely had something to tell him.

They even thought that with Bixiao's straightforward personality, if she really liked someone, she might take the initiative to bring up the matter of becoming a Daoist couple.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Bixiao opened her mouth, she mentioned that half a month ago, Daoist Duobao brought the Holy Mother Jinling and Zhao Gongming to the Three Immortal Islands.

They started talking about the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill and the Five-Turn Golden Pill.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao frowned.

It seems that the Jie Sect's ability to gather information is much more impressive than I thought.

Leaving aside the fact that the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill was refined outside Kunlun Mountain and Yuxu Palace, it had already spread among the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

Even some of the second-generation disciples on the fringes knew about this.

But that was in the Jade Void Palace, where a sage was in charge, so it's normal that no one dared to inform the Jie Sect.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Li Jingxiao enjoyed a carefree life at home for a month.

He then went to Mount Kongtong and discussed Taoism with Guang Chengzi and others for seven days.

However, the Daoist Duobao of the Jie Sect had taken the Holy Mother Jinling and Zhao Gongming to the Three Immortal Islands half a month ago.

Moreover, before coming to the Three Immortal Islands, it was impossible for Daoist Duobao to immediately bring Jinling Shengmu and Zhao Gongming to the island after learning the news.

They must have spent a lot of time thinking and pondering.

In other words, before he even went to Mount Kongtong, the Jie Sect already knew about the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill and the Five-Turn Golden Pill.

It seems that the disciples of the Jie Sect were not as straightforward as one might imagine, appearing to be ignorant of intrigue and scheming.
