The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 534 When your heart belongs to someone, everything seems pleasing.
The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning tests his disciples' background and character more than he requires of their talents.

It's just that the apprentice lacks talent, and no matter how hard the master tries, he often ends up doing useless work.

This shows that the level of Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples was not as good as that of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

After the Investiture of the Gods began, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly discovered that temperament, will, and character are things that can change.

Talent is the greatest advantage and strength that one is born with.

No matter how good the twelve disciples were in terms of character and perseverance, they were still troubled and anxious because they could not break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Even their mental state became unstable.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world, which is why Yuanshi Tianzun was forced to make decisions before and after the Investiture of the Gods.

He had to expend so much energy and time to plan for his twelve disciples.

He even used his status as a saint and senior master to scheme against the disciples of the Jie Sect.

To be honest, Li Jingxiao sometimes felt sorry for Yuanshi Tianzun.

However, the apprentices that the old man chose were handpicked by him.

You have to take the blame for your own mistakes.

Thinking about it this way, Li Jingxiao felt that Yuanshi Tianzun deserved it.

After thinking about all this, Li Jingxiao took out a jade bottle containing three Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills from his inventory and handed it to Qiongxiao.

Then he took out three jade bottles, each containing only one Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, and gave them to Qiongxiao at the same time.

Under Qiongxiao's puzzled gaze, he said, "Just in case, you and your two older sisters each take one."

Qiongxiao was overjoyed and hugged Li Jingxiao's neck to kiss him.

However, while I was happy, I also muttered to myself, "I knew you were a scoundrel. You've been eyeing my eldest and second eldest sisters all along."

Fortunately, although Qiongxiao was a little jealous, the sisters were still very close.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so focused on helping her husband marry both of her older sisters.

Li Jingxiao's decision to let Yunxiao and Bixiao stay on the Three Immortal Islands now seems incredibly wise.

Despite the fact that Qiongxiao has a close relationship with Shiji, Caiyun, Daji, and Deng Chanyu, they are like sisters.

But in this girl's heart, her eldest and second eldest sisters were the closest.

If the three sisters all stayed in Chentang Pass, they would inevitably have conflicts with Shiji and the others over time.

Moreover, Yunxiao was a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had severed his three corpses, and Shiji was the first woman to follow Li Jingxiao.

Over the years, she has always been recognized as the eldest sister by women such as Caiyun and Qiongxiao.

But if Yunxiao were to acknowledge Shiji as her elder sister, it's easy to imagine that Yunxiao would feel uncomfortable.

Yunxiao is much stronger than Shiji, and his status is also much higher.

She was highly valued by the Tongtian Sect Leader, and it can be said that Shiji had no advantage over her.

It would be better for everyone if they lived separately.

Li Jingxiao and Qiongxiao spent another long, intimate time together until midday. Then, Qiongxiao, looking languid and charming, took six Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills and went to find Yunxiao and Bixiao.

The Yunxiao sisters had actually been waiting for Qiongxiao all along.

After Li Jingxiao flirted with Bixiao, when the girl returned to Yunxiao's cave, Qiongxiao immediately noticed something was wrong.

Qiongxiao, without any hesitation, directly stated the matter.

Even if Bixiao wanted to make excuses, she felt somewhat guilty and lacked confidence.

Even if Yunxiao was stupid, he could see the problem now.

After asking a few questions, it was quickly determined that Bixiao did indeed have a problem.

Maybe he's already been bullied by that bastard Li Jingxiao.

While feeling dissatisfied and resentful towards Li Jingxiao, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The idea of ​​three sisters marrying the same man seems absurd, but this is the world of Investiture of the Gods.

There was no Confucian ritual or law to govern it, and Confucianism had not even emerged yet.

Many etiquette rules and regulations are indeed very different from those of hundreds or thousands of years later.

Moreover, there are precedents of emperors marrying two sisters, so as long as the three Yunxiao sisters agree, the Tongtian Sect Leader will not object.

Then none of that will be a problem.

Then there was the incident where Qiongxiao went to see Li Jingxiao alone.

Seeing Qiongxiao's charming and languid appearance, Yunxiao and Bixiao, two novices in love, had no idea that their sister had just had a few fights with Li Jingxiao.

At this moment, Qiongxiao felt completely relaxed and comfortable, and her heart was filled with love for Li Jingxiao.

In a very good mood, she did her best to speak well of Li Jingxiao.

Seeing this, Yunxiao was furious. He had sent Qiongxiao to see Li Jingxiao earlier only to confirm that bastard's attitude.

After all, they bullied Bixiao, so there should be a clear explanation and account.

Otherwise, how will I be able to face people in the future?
Fortunately, Qiongxiao quickly noticed that her eldest and second eldest sisters were staring at her with unfriendly expressions, so she immediately changed the subject to more important matters.

Li Jingxiao naturally wouldn't mind having another wife, but marriage was out of the question.

Yunxiao and Bixiao weren't actually that concerned about getting married.

Once a man and a woman form a Daoist partnership, they can become husband and wife in reality.

They are also companions on the road, and even allies who would follow each other to the death.

Moreover, the so-called "Daoist partners" do not only refer to the marital relationship between men and women.

The fathers and sons, brothers, friends, and lovers on the path of cultivation can actually be called Daoist partners.

To put it simply, they are teammates in a group to fight monsters.

However, by this time, many people have come to refer to the relationship between Daoist partners as simply the union of men and women on the path of cultivation.

They are closer and more stable than husband and wife, but not husband and wife in the true sense.

Mutual help and support on the path of cultivation is the kind of relationship that immortals who have achieved immortality value even more.

People like Shiji, Caiyun, and Qiongxiao were initially chosen because Li Jingxiao was handsome.

He exudes an air of authority, speaks eloquently, and knows how to use sweet words to deceive women.

That's when I was attracted to him.

But what truly won over the three women was that after spending time with him, they were able to gain immense benefits from Li Jingxiao, and that's when they truly became loyal to him.

Otherwise, simply talking about love, it would be extremely difficult to make these fairies, who have cultivated for countless years, completely devoted to Li Jingxiao.

Of course, there are definitely women who would do anything for love.

When Qiongxiao first met Li Jingxiao, this woman already seemed to be somewhat love-struck.

However, it is impossible for fairies to willingly attach themselves to Li Jingxiao again and again.

To put it bluntly, love is only temporary; the combination of interests is the foundation for a long-term relationship between boyfriends and girlfriends or husbands and wives.

For Yunxiao and Bixiao, Li Jingxiao was indeed the man with the best conditions and the most suitable for them to become Daoist partners in their lives.

Although there are many fellow disciples in the Jie Sect, only Duobao Daoist and Zhao Gongming are stronger than Yunxiao or of similar strength.

Moreover, with Zhao Gongming as their sworn brother, the three Yunxiao sisters would indeed find it difficult to be attracted to men who were inferior to Zhao Gongming.

When women are looking for a husband or boyfriend, they are indeed very likely to compare their boyfriend with their own father or older brother.

Given Zhao Gongming's status, position, and strength, it would be very difficult to find more powerful second-generation disciples or independent cultivators in the entire Investiture of the Gods world.

Moreover, not everyone is like Li Jingxiao, who is already so powerful but still thinks about those things between men and women all the time.

Without any vested interests, one would naturally not be like Li Jingxiao, who would go to great lengths to get his hands on any fairy he fancied.

Unlike Li Jingxiao, who is both witty and willing to lower himself to sweet-talk a woman, he wouldn't do that. Fortunately, after Li Jingxiao succeeded, he was actually quite good to his woman.

After receiving the promise they wanted, Yunxiao and Bixiao felt relieved, and their smiles brightened considerably.

When chatting with Qiongxiao, the topics often revolved around Li Jingxiao.

I learned that Li Jingxiao is usually very easygoing and loves his woman very much.

The only downside is that he is overly diligent and strict during his daily practice.

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao and Bixiao frowned.

I thought that Qiongxiao's harsh words were directed at the women and servants around her.

But according to Qiongxiao, Li Jingxiao cultivates for at least four or five hours every day.

He would inevitably have several battles with his five wives every morning.

To paraphrase Li Jingxiao, if one only meditates and cultivates, focusing solely on Taoist techniques and magical power, but is not skilled in combat or fighting, then...

In the future, when you fight with someone, you might suffer because of your lack of fighting experience.

So not only Qiongxiao and her five women, but also Li Jingxiao had to fight several times a day.

Even his disciples and household guards were tested on their martial arts skills every day by Li Jingxiao.

If Li Jingxiao discovers that someone is slacking off, they will definitely be punished by him.

Fortunately, the punishments weren't too severe.

In reality, Li Jingxiao's goal was to gain experience.

In fact, he had long regarded accompanying his wife for morning exercises and testing his disciples, including Nezha and the Seven Monsters of Meishan, as daily tasks.

Once he gets used to it, Li Jingxiao himself will feel uncomfortable if he stops doing it.

After hearing what Qiongxiao said, Yunxiao and Bixiao couldn't help but roll their eyes at Qiongxiao.

The third sister was lucky to find a tolerant husband like her brother-in-law, which is why he was very forgiving of her neglect of cultivation and her inconsistent approach to training.

Moreover, having her brother-in-law supervise her cultivation is a great thing.

So, while Yunxiao and Bixiao were relieved, they also began to admire Li Jingxiao.

In their eyes, Li Jingxiao was a celestial being, yet he was still so diligent and hardworking.

Such perseverance and self-discipline are truly rare.

He was countless times better than his fellow disciples in the sect.

Unfortunately, Li Jingxiao had repeatedly instructed that no one was allowed to mention the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to outsiders.

Otherwise, Qiongxiao would have already boasted to Yunxiao and Bixiao.

If Bixiao knew that the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir could improve cultivation and increase the probability of breaking through realms, she might have already gone to Chentang Pass and refused to leave.

As for Yunxiao, this woman is already a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has severed her three corpses, so the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir really has no effect on her.

With the power to grant immortality to the heavens and earth with just one pill, Yunxiao would likely covet this golden elixir.
-
Qiongxiao then took out three jade bottles from her sleeve and said, "Eldest sister, second sister, these are Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills that my husband personally refined. They have the effect of bringing the dead back to life."

After saying that, he gave one to each of Yunxiao and Bixiao.

The sisters' expressions changed, and they subconsciously felt that Qiongxiao was trying to flatter Li Jingxiao.

However, Qiongxiao soon revealed some of the things that Li Jingxiao had done in Kunlun Mountain and Yuxu Palace.

Since even Master Uncle Yuqing knew about this elixir, he still accepted the three Nine-Turn Golden Pills offered by Li Jingxiao.

Then it couldn't be that Qiongxiao was bragging to Li Jingxiao.

Thinking of this, the two sisters quickly took the jade bottle.

Upon opening it, a rich aura of immortality and medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Even just smelling it makes you feel much more energetic.

My soul still felt a sense of euphoria.

Yunxiao immediately realized that this pill was indeed a good thing.

After all, this woman was already a cultivator at the Great Luo Realm. Just smelling the fragrance of the medicine was enough to shake Yunxiao's soul, so she couldn't possibly be bad.

Then Qiongxiao said that she would present three Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills as a gift to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Yunxiao and Bixiao immediately assumed that this was a betrothal gift from Li Jingxiao.

The two sisters blushed slightly, feeling touched.

However, after calming down, the two quickly realized that it was impossible to send only three pills as betrothal gifts.

So after thinking it over, he felt that Li Jingxiao was testing his master's reaction to the fact that he had abducted his three sisters at the same time.

Thinking about it this way, Yunxiao and Bixiao's smiles became even more satisfied.

They had no idea that they had been outmaneuvered by Li Jingxiao and Qiongxiao.

Of course, neither of them could have imagined that Li Jingxiao's purpose in giving the Rejuvenation Pill was simply to hear the Tongtian Sect Leader preach to him.

Even setting aside Yunxiao and Bixiao, Li Jingxiao's purpose was something that even the Tongtian Sect Leader probably couldn't have imagined.

Since Yunxiao and Bixiao had misunderstood, they decided to let Qiongxiao's suggestion that the three sisters go to Biyou Palace together to give gifts to their teacher and also test the waters for her opinion.

He agreed without even thinking.

After the three sisters reached a consensus, they looked at each other.

The three of them suddenly smiled, got up together, and left the cave.

He sent a maid to inform Li Jingxiao, and together they rode on auspicious clouds to Jin'ao Island.

But once the three sisters left, Li Jingxiao began to feel uneasy.

I want to meditate and cultivate myself, but I can't calm my mind.

I looked at the skills panel.

The sixth level of the Taiqing Great Dao True Scripture (427 million/500 million).
If the Tongtian Sect Leader were to truly preach to him, then the "Taiqing Great Dao True Scripture" would soon be able to break through to the seventh level.

In the next few years, all you need to do is focus all your time on cultivating the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

Perhaps the Investiture of the Gods has already begun, and I am the seventh level of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

Their confidence in saving their lives grew even stronger.

Since he couldn't calm down, Li Jingxiao thought he might as well go home and play with his four wives.

But before he could get up, he remembered that he was in the East China Sea.

It's been a long time since I've seen that widow Ao Qing.

The thought of how this woman would go to any lengths to please him was unbearable.

Once I thought about it that way, I couldn't sit still any longer.

In a flash, he appeared in a sea area thousands of miles away.

It fell straight into the sea, and the surrounding sea surface split open on its own, and soon it arrived at a crystal palace.

Although it cannot compare to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea in terms of area and scale, this Crystal Palace is equally luxurious and extravagant.

Upon hearing the maid's report, Ao Qing's face lit up with joy.

She hurriedly got up and asked the maids around her if there was anything wrong with her outfit.

Having confirmed that her makeup and attire were all in order, she hurried toward the main hall.

Before she could even step out of the corridor outside her palace, she saw Li Jingxiao holding a blue jeweled fan in his hand.

She walked into the garden with a smile, dressed in a brocade robe.
