The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 539 Losing a few times occasionally isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Li Jingxiao can be quite petty and vengeful at times.

Fairy Caiyun and Qiongxiao dared to tease him, so to uphold his authority as a husband, Li Jingxiao pulled Qiongxiao and Fairy Caiyun out of the cave.

Ostensibly, it's about morning exercise and being a sparring partner for two women.

In reality, Li Jingxiao defeated Qiongxiao, who was wielding the Nanming Li Huo Sword, with just an ordinary level 30 wooden stick.

Even when the two of them teamed up, Caiyun Fairy, who wielded the Thunderflame Sword, lost more than ten times.

The two women were truly defeated this time, and they complained that Li Jingxiao didn't know how to "cherish women".

On one hand, he began to doubt his own talent in martial arts, wondering if he was even inferior to Nezha and Ao Bing.

Li Jingxiao won more than ten times in a row, and after glancing at his character level, he had earned eight or nine million experience points in just one morning.

Unfortunately, none of the women in his family were willing to lose ten or more times every day.
No one would want to lose so many times on the first day and then still be willing to fight with Li Jingxiao the next day.

If it weren't for Li Jingxiao's repeated emphasis on the importance of morning training and actual combat, forcing the women in his family to get up early every day and spar with him for one or two matches, it would have been a different story.

Maybe no one is willing to get up early and exercise in the morning anymore.

Humans are inherently lazy. Even for those who have attained immortality and enlightenment, few can withstand the loneliness of cultivating all day long.

Moreover, focusing solely on secluded study often has the opposite effect.

Not everyone is like Li Jingxiao, whose skill proficiency can increase simply by putting in the effort.

There's no need to worry about the issue of being stuck in a certain realm.

Once you've mastered the skill, what's incredibly difficult for others becomes as easy as breaking through a windowpane for Li Jingxiao.

Qiongxiao and Caiyun Fairy, who had suffered a crushing defeat, could tell from Li Jingxiao's beaming face that he was in a very good mood.

The two women glared at Li Jingxiao, feeling annoyed, but there was nothing they could do about it.

They can't just say they'll ignore Li Jingxiao from now on.
If you actually do that, it will only benefit other women.

She could only look at Li Jingxiao with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.

Li Jingxiao had been with the two for many years, so he knew perfectly well that Qiongxiao and Fairy Caiyun were feigning helplessness.

However, even though he saw through their act, Lee Kyung-hyo had no intention of exposing them.

They even took the initiative to step forward and comfort her.

This can be considered a kind of tacit understanding and fun.

Moreover, as long as Lee Kyung-hyo lowers his stance, it's easy for him to calm down the women around him.

Even when Li Jingxiao took the initiative to coax them, the women felt a sense of satisfaction.

They felt that Li Jingxiao's willingness to humble himself to comfort them showed that he was a good man who knew how to cherish his wife.

The fact that the standards for a good man were set so low shows how oppressive the lives of women and wives in ancient times were.
-
Before I knew it, I had spent more than ten days on the Three Immortals Island.

With the date approaching for his discussion with the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader still hadn't sent anyone to inform him to go to Jin'ao Island and Biyou Palace to listen to the sage's sermon.

Li Jingxiao could only bid farewell to the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, Fairy Caiyun, and Fairy Hanzhi.

The Three Immortals and Fairy Caiyun were naturally reluctant to part, but little did they know that Fairy Hanzhi's gaze towards Li Jingxiao was also full of reluctance.

Li Jingxiao, however, was in no hurry to sow discord among the woman, after all, he had just started dating Yunxiao and Bixiao.

You have to consider the feelings of both of them.

Wait a year or two before finding an opportunity to eat Hanzhixian, so as not to provoke Yunxiao and Bixiao's objections.

Lee Kyung-hyo waved goodbye to the women again.

Then he quickly returned to Chentang Pass.

As expected, Yang Jian, Jinzha, and Muzha came to escort him to Yunxiao Cave on Mount Taihua.

They gathered at Chijingzi's cave.

However, with three days left before the Daoist discussion, Li Jingxiao stayed on the Three Immortals Island for more than twenty days without returning home.

Shi Ji, Da Ji, and Deng Chanyu naturally refused to let him go.

I could only stay at home for two nights, which inevitably led to more partying every night.

Incidentally, I learned from Deng Chanyu that Wen Zhong, that old bastard, was finally preparing to lead his troops to the East Sea to quell the rebellion of the Eastern Spirit King and the Eastern Yi.

Upon learning this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After Wen Zhong returned to the capital with the momentum of a great victory, leading 50,000 elite troops from Beihai.

Not to mention the nine-tailed fox, even King Zhou behaved himself for more than a year.

Unfortunately, Wen Zhong's time in court was ultimately too short. Once he left, Chaoge City would inevitably descend into chaos again.

However, this had nothing to do with Li Jingxiao; he simply instructed Deng Chanyu to send someone to inform his father-in-law, Deng Jiugong.

Don't get involved in the rebellion to 'pacify' the Eastern Ling King and to annihilate the Eastern Yi.

Not only would it be a thankless task, but it might also lead to being targeted by the mastermind behind the rebellion of the Eastern Spirit King.

That is, the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and even the demon race represented by the Goddess Nuwa have their eyes on them.

Deng Chanyu knew her husband's strength and the depth of his network of connections.

He nodded hastily, assuring his father that he would persuade him to settle down and become a local official.
-
For the next two days, Li Jingxiao spent his days practicing martial arts with the three women.

Incidentally, while instructing his five disciples, Nezha, Ao Bing, Lei Zhenzi, Biyun, and Yunxia, ​​on their martial arts skills.

He also gave Yang Jian, Jinzha, and Muzha a few pointers.

Yang Jian and the other two wished they could live in Chentang Pass every day so they could consult Li Jingxiao and get answers to their questions.

Li Jingxiao was also eager to have more punching bags to be beaten.

And gain some experience along the way.

As a result, Yang Jian and Yuan Hong were bound to be beaten up by Li Jingxiao in various ways.

If the two players lose too badly and are unwilling to fight anymore.

Li Jingxiao would then call upon Nezha, Ao Bing, Jinzha, and Muzha together.

He fought against the four of them alone, plus Yang Jian and Yuan Hong.

Now, it won't be so easy for Li Jingxiao to win.

Although Nezha, Ao Bing, Jinzha, and Muzha's strength and cultivation are far inferior to Yang Jian or Yuan Hong.

But when it comes to teamwork and support, the four Nezha members are a perfect match.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao had already fought several times with Nezha and the other six.

As Yang Jian and his six companions worked together more frequently, their teamwork and skills became increasingly seamless and proficient.

If Lee Kyung-hyo wanted to win, it would actually be very simple.

By simply using a powerful magic weapon, or even just employing the "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" technique, these scholars could be easily captured.

But to actually do that would be tantamount to the strong bullying the weak.

There's absolutely no need for a fight.

Plus, Nezha was always nagging.

If Li Jingxiao, as the master, were to be touched on the sleeve by those six guys...

If you hit the target with Taoist magic, you'll lose.

Otherwise, in Nezha's mind, there was no need to continue fighting.

Li Jingxiao readily agreed, eager to gain experience.

Moreover, having so many restrictions isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Firstly, even if Nezha and Yang Jian lose ten times, if they can win just once, their enthusiasm will be very high in the future.

Secondly, so many restrictions on Li Jingxiao also test his combat abilities.

Adversity is the only time when one can rapidly improve their strength. Therefore, it is indeed not as easy for Li Jingxiao to defeat Yang Jian and the other six people working together now as it used to be.

However, after several matches, Li Jingxiao did indeed benefit quite a bit.

In particular, if one wants to subdue the highly talented Yang Jian and Yuan Hong, then the application of those transformation techniques in the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" must indeed be more refined and skillful.

Li Jingxiao defeated Yang Jian and the others by relying solely on his martial arts and ordinary Taoist magic.

This also made the six guys admire and fear Li Jingxiao even more.

Yang Jian, in particular, is now truly convinced of Li Jingxiao's abilities.

Little did they know that in the world of Journey to the West, Li Jingxiao had fought many battles with Yang Jian, who was his brother-in-law.

The more times you fight, the more you naturally understand your opponent.

The Yang Jian in the Investiture of the Gods world is quite different in appearance and personality from the Yang Jian who is the second brother-in-law.

However, in terms of martial arts and Taoist supernatural powers, the two are at least 60-70% similar.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao could suppress Yang Jian with his eyes closed.
-
After staying at home in Chentang Pass for two days, on the morning of the third day, I bid farewell to Shiji, Daji, and Deng Chanyu.

He led a few younger people towards Yunxiao Cave on Mount Taihua.

On the way, Li Jingxiao asked Yang Jian why Chi Jingzi's cave was called Yunxiao Cave.
Upon hearing this question, Yang Jian scratched his head, unsure how to answer.

Jinzha and Muzha suddenly realized that the name of Chijingzi's cave was indeed in conflict with Yunxiao Niangniang, one of the Three Immortals.

Fortunately, Yang Jian was always quick-witted. Not knowing how to answer, he remembered that Manjushri's cave was also called "Cloud Cave".

The only difference is that one is on Mount Taihua and the other is on Mount Wulong.

Li Jingxiao then let Yang Jian go and continued flying forward on his own.

Yang Jian secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, while thinking to himself.

Judging from the rumors, the relationship between this Master Li and the Three Immortal Maidens is indeed extremely close.

Otherwise, why would you have deliberately brought up the name of the cave just now?

In fact, it could be a veiled warning.

The secret passage read: Once we reach Mount Taihua, we must report this matter to our master, uncles, and senior brothers as soon as possible.

After Li Jingxiao left Chentang Pass, Shiji, Daji, and Deng Chanyu at home immediately felt bored.

After discussing it for a while, the three women quickly decided to visit the Three Immortals Island.

To put it bluntly, Shiji, Daji, and Deng Chanyu have been staying at home for too long.

Feeling restless after a long period of stillness, Qiongxiao and Fairy Caiyun took advantage of Li Jingxiao's absence and went to the Three Immortal Islands again.

Why not visit and get to know the Three Immortals Island as well?
-
When Li Jingxiao arrived at Mount Taihua, two of the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect who were there to greet him were indeed absent.

Moreover, Daoist Ran Deng also made up an excuse not to keep the appointment this time.

Li Jingxiao could guess with a little thought that Randeng must have been ostracized.

The last time we discussed Taoism in Guangchengzi's cave on Mount Kongtong, Daoist Randeng also participated in the debate.

But anyone could see that the old man had been holding back all along.

Since he wasn't willing to go all out, Guang Chengzi and the others naturally wouldn't continue to play along with him.

Li Jingxiao didn't care about this. Since he had expected it, there was nothing to be disappointed about.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group did not rush into discussing philosophy.

Instead, they steered the conversation towards various Taoist practices and supernatural powers.

After listening for a while, Li Jingxiao finally understood that these guys from the Chan Sect wanted to suppress him in the contest of Taoist magic and supernatural powers.

In the hearts of the Chan Sect members, they and their fellow disciples were, after all, the direct disciples of the Jade Purity Saint.

The Taoist arts and supernatural powers he learned and mastered were far more powerful than those of Li Jingxiao, who was all alone.

Unfortunately, what Li Jingxiao feared least was someone challenging him to a contest of Taoist magic.

Over the course of three days, although Li Jingxiao still inevitably suffered losses, he was still able to maintain a win-loss ratio of three to seven, or even two to eight.

Guang Chengzi and the others were so angry they almost vomited blood.

When Huanglong Zhenren couldn't think of a better way to win against Li Jingxiao, he noticed several of his fellow disciples giving him meaningful glances.

He immediately nodded and jumped out, shouting that he wanted to have a fistfight and a weapons contest with Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, it's purely a contest of techniques, so there's no need to use magic or supernatural powers.

Li Jingxiao was almost amused by Huanglong Zhenren's words.

Not only did he defeat Huanglong Zhenren in just a few moves, but he also used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to knock him down.

They also used Tai Chi, Tian Shuang Fist, Da Fu Mo Fist, and various palm and fist techniques such as Dispelling Clouds Palm and Heart-Crushing Palm to defeat six second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

The members of the Chan Sect were filled with disappointment and helplessness.

Then they compared weapons.

This time, the Chan Sect lost even faster.

Later on, Li Jingxiao simply stopped bothering his second-generation disciples.

Instead, he used the excuse of giving pointers to drag Yang Jian, Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha into a beating.

In an instant, the second generation of the Chan Sect made up their minds never to compete with Li Jingxiao in fists, feet, or weapons again.

Seven days later, Li Jingxiao regretfully took Nezha back to Chentang Pass.

It was probably because it severely damaged the confidence of the Chan Sect members that they only gained a little over 60 million experience points after seven days of debate.

This made Li Jingxiao somewhat regretful, yet he also knew that the members of the Chan Sect were increasingly lacking in confidence and motivation.

It's basically an unsolvable problem.

No matter who it is, if they lose too many times, no one wants to be constantly abused.

He secretly thought that in future discussions with the Chan Sect members, it would be better to win less often.

The current score is 8 to 2, or even 7 to 3.

Next time, it would be best to keep the win-loss ratio at 6.5 to 3.5.

Only when the members of the Chan Sect feel that the gap is narrowing will they have enough motivation to continue the competition.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao had made up his mind to do so at the next discussion.

He would drink with the people of the Chan Sect every day to make up for the lack of experience he gained by deliberately letting them down.

When they returned to Chentang Pass, Li Jingxiao, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi were dumbfounded.

Aside from maids and servants, there were no other women in the household besides Shiji, Daji, and Deng Chanyu.

Even Biyun, Yunxiao, and the Seven Monsters of Meishan followed the three women, Shiji, to the Three Immortal Islands.

Li Jingxiao suddenly felt a little anxious.

She was afraid that Shiji and Yunxiao would fight over who was the eldest sister.

Fortunately, after calming down, Li Jingxiao realized that even if the two women had a disagreement, it was most likely just a verbal argument.

They couldn't even argue, after all, Shiji and Yunxiao were true cultivators.

She wouldn't act like an ordinary lady, throwing a tantrum and cursing in the street.

That's why Li Jingxiao didn't rush to Sanxian Island immediately.

Instead, he instructed Nezha and Lei Zhenzi to take good care of the house, and then summoned Ao Bing from the East Sea Dragon Palace.

He instructed Ao Bing to keep an eye on Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, lest the two boys follow suit and go out to wander around and cause trouble.

After making these arrangements, Li Jingxiao suddenly appeared on the Three Immortals Island, thousands of miles away.

Upon seeing the numerous women, it was exactly as Li Jingxiao had predicted.
