The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 73 Secret Contest
Because his father became a Taoist priest, Jia Zhen inherited the Ningguo Mansion's family business early on and became the patriarch of the Jia family.

It's much better than those nobles who become the head of the family when they are forty or fifty years old.

So he was both afraid of and grateful to his biological father Jia Jing.

Seeing that his father's face was much rosier than before, he hurriedly thanked Li Jingxiao again and again, then covered a few banknotes with his hands and stuffed them directly into Li Jingxiao's sleeves.

Li Jingxiao did not refuse. After all, Sanhua Yulu Pills were actually Panax notoginseng blood-replenishing powder mixed with honey.

Moreover, Sanqi Buxue Sansan can add 100 points of blood and qi, but Sanhua Yulu Wan can only add 30 points.

It can be said that the price has increased many times just by changing the name and appearance.

Li Jingxiao took the money and became more enthusiastic. He smiled and said, "Mr. Jing's accumulated poison over the years should have been mostly eliminated.

For the next two months, come to see me once a month for a follow-up consultation and take two Sanhua Yulu pills, and you should be able to recover."

Jia Jing nodded and thanked him quickly, and he became more and more impressed and envious of Li Jingxiao's abilities.

Jia Rong, who was standing by, asked in a puzzled voice, "Uncle Jing, I heard that above the Three Flower Jade Dew Pills, there are also Six Flower Pills and Nine Flower Pills.

You didn't give it to my nephew's grandfather, but do you have any explanation?"

Li Jingxiao was secretly happy. The reason for dividing the grades was nothing more than deliberately raising the value of Liuhua and Jiuhua Yulu Pills.

He smiled and said, "Brother Rong is indeed smart and filial, but Lord Jing has been practicing Taoism for many years and has gained something.

What is lacking is nothing more than "a word of true teaching". Once you have received the true teaching and have suddenly seen the light, you will most likely be able to practice the Taoist internal training technique.

In this case, we should be even more cautious.

Lest the medicine be too potent and damage your foundation, that would be your fault."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he said it, Jia Jing's eyes began to shine.

Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Rong stared at Li Jingxiao intently.

If Jia Jing could get some advice from Li Jingxiao and succeed in practicing Taoism, then if the Jia family has a true practitioner in the future, the family's situation and status in the capital will definitely be greatly improved.

Li Jingxiao put away his smile and said in embarrassment, "Due to the ancestral precepts of the Zhenwu Temple, I dare not pass on the true martial arts to others.

However, I do have three of my subordinates who are true disciples of Mount Mao."

After saying this, he looked at Jia Jing and said, "Jing Gong, sincerity can move mountains and open up new paths."

Although Jia Jing felt sorry, Li Jingxiao gave him a clear way out.

As for the saying "where there is a will, there is a way", to Jia Jing, it is nothing more than what each person wants.

It is not easy to force Li Jingxiao, but it is not difficult for him to do business with Maoshan.

But for a Taoist sect like Maoshan that values ​​​​renouncing the world, this matter has more advantages than disadvantages.

These factions, which have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, have plenty of excuses and methods to teach you internal skills while at the same time slowing down your cultivation speed.

Moreover, whether it is practicing Taoism or martial arts, it requires talent.

Jia Jing is already in his forties and has long passed the best age for cultivation.

Those who have only learned superficial internal skills are just like the bottom of the martial arts world and cannot even be on the stage.

Not to mention threatening Li Jingxiao, he is not even as good as a third-rate master in the world of martial arts.

If it is disguised as a Taoist internal training technique, once the internal strength is really cultivated, people like Jia Jing who have practiced Taoism for many years without success will believe more and more that they have obtained the true teachings.

Jia Jing stood up and bowed to Li Jingxiao. Li Jingxiao felt that it was natural for him to receive his bow.

But when he thought about it, the Jia family had tried every possible way to marry Jia Yuanchun to him, so he had to respect the Jia family for the sake of face.

He quickly dodged and instantly appeared beside Jia Jing, helping him up.

Jia Jing was not the only one who was deeply shocked. Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong were also stunned. Li Jingxiao appeared beside Jia Jing as if by teleportation. They felt more and more that Li Jingxiao must have received the true teachings and supernatural powers of the Zhenwu Temple.

His determination to marry Yuanchun became even stronger.

After seeing off Jia Jing and the other three, Li Jingxiao just accompanied his three sisters to finish dinner when a little maid quickly ran to the door of the restaurant and started whispering to the older maid.

After a while, the second-class maid beside Jingxi came in and reported, "Master, Master Lu in the front yard said he has something urgent to discuss with you."

Li Jingxiao nodded, comforted his three sisters, got up and went to the front yard.

After Lu Erfu clasped his fists and saluted, he leaned over to him and whispered, "Sir, the brothers heard outside that the Jia family is spreading the news that you saved Master Jing of Ningguo Mansion, Master Zhu of Rongguo Mansion, and the eldest aunt who married into the Lin family."

Li Jingxiao was stunned, thinking that a demon had appeared and was waiting for him to gain experience.

I didn't expect it was just this little thing?

No, Li Jingxiao reacted and understood after a little thought.

This is because the favor is so great that marrying a daughter and giving her a generous dowry can be considered as repaying part of the favor.

Not only can outsiders not blame the Jia family, they may even have to praise them.

Not to mention, he has a son who supports the second wife, so Jia Yuanchun will be his legal wife when she marries him.

Li Jingxiao chuckled and thought to himself, has the Jia family received guidance from an expert?

After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Erfu, "Take your men and find some rogues to spread the news that my second uncle wants me to take over the second branch of the family."

Erfu nodded quickly. Besides being envious of the fact that the Lord could marry two wives, he also wished that Li Jingxiao would have many wives, concubines and children.

As a personal guard, all his wealth and glory depended on Li Jingxiao.

Erfu and other personal guards, as well as Zhao Junming and other Jinyiwei who had followed him in the imperial mausoleum and had fought together with him, naturally hoped that Li Jingxiao would get better and better.

When the news spread, just as Li Jingxiao had expected, other noble families also began to covet Li Jingxiao's marriage.

Especially if there are nobles in the family who are in poor health or elderly, they would think that Li Jingxiao had saved Jia Jing, Jia Zhu and Jia Min without realizing it.

It is said that even Lin Ruhai and the little girl of the Lin family relied on Li Jingxiao's elixir to cure their old illnesses accumulated from years of hard work.

Now the Jia family is the one who is anxious.

If this marriage is snatched away by someone else, to put it nicely it would be a win-win situation, but to put it bluntly it would be like the matter is 90% done except for the last step and someone else got there first.

Moreover, the only girl of marriageable age in the Jia family is Jia Yuanchun. If the marriage fails, it will become countless times more difficult for Yuanchun to get married again.

Li Jingxiao did this to force the Jia family to marry Yuanchun to him.

Secondly, it was done for the emperor and the emperor emeritus to see.

Li Jingxiao didn't believe that Erfu and others could secretly spread the news of one son and two generations without the knowledge of the emperor and the emperor emeritus.

Even among people like Erfu, there might be people related to the retired emperor and his son.

This is equivalent to telling them, father and son, that if they have any ideas, they should intervene quickly.

Otherwise, I would have really married the eldest daughter of the Jia family.

Third, he took the opportunity to suppress the Jia family and Yuanchun's confidence.

Otherwise, after marrying her, she would always be thinking of causing trouble for Qin Keqing.

PS: Some book friends said that the title of the book is somewhat inconsistent with the content. The original name of this book was "Groups of Taoist Companions". Due to some reasons, the title had to be changed a week after the book was published.

By the time I published the book, I already had 260,000 to 270,000 words of manuscript in reserve, and I couldn't change it even if I wanted to.

I'm also having a big headache now.
