Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 130 teaches you how to resolve karma.
Wow, Master's arms feel so comfortable to hold...

Longji squinted, hugged Yu Ding's arm with both hands like a koala, and rubbed his head against it.

She held the master her mother had found for her in awe.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Tell me, in this vast and ancient world, how many people do not know the great names of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void?
In her mind, such a celestial being must be serious, dignified, and formal, so she always behaved very obediently.

Of course, as she spent more time with him, she discovered that besides being handsome, this master was also...

She's also very approachable!
So she gradually became bolder.

"Have you had enough of rubbing against me?"

Yu Ding glanced at the disciple: "If you've had your fill of freeloading, go sit down and I'll give you a lesson first."

I remember Yuan Hong liked to rub his palm, and Long Ji would rub his arm... What's wrong with these disciples?

"Cough cough!"

Longji coughed and quickly went to the foot of the cloud bed.

With a flick of her wrist, she released a shimmering futon from her small embroidered pouch and landed on the ground. She then sat down with a serious expression, her big eyes wide as she looked at the jade cauldron with a grin.

The Lingbao Futon... Yu Ding remained silent for a moment, then glanced at the purse on Long Ji's waist.

A primordial spiritual treasure… Yu Ding couldn’t help but feel a little depressed.

Although it is only the size of a palm, this item is actually a storage magic treasure, containing its own world and a universe within it.

He had seen Longji pull out elixirs, divine medicines, peaches of immortality, and magical treasures from it... just like Doraemon's magic pocket.

"Before we begin, your teacher needs to understand your basic cultivation situation."

After Yu Ding finished speaking, he added, "This is also to make it easier for me to teach you."

Longji is somewhat different from Yuan Hong and Yang Jian. Those two did not have a foundation or innate ability to cultivate; they needed methods and techniques.

Both of them were quite talented and perceptive, so they were essentially self-taught. He only played a supporting and guiding role in their cultivation, but mainly taught them how to be good people.

Longji, however, possesses a cultivation method and has cultivated to a certain extent, thus establishing a foundation...

"I understand the basic information. My name is Long Ji, I am sixteen years old, and I am at the Returning Void Realm."

Longji pondered for a moment and said, "Those who are skilled in water-related supernatural abilities also possess water-based magical treasures, such as the Four Seas Bottle and the Mist and Dew Universe Net..."

As she spoke, she patted her purse, and several innate treasures, imbued with primordial energy, soared into the sky, making the Golden Cloud Cave glitter with precious light.

The innate spiritual treasure... Yu Ding's eyes were dazzled, and his heart was deeply shaken.

As expected of the daughter of two great innate gods, her magical treasures are either spiritual treasures or innate spiritual treasures.

“Moreover…” Yu Ding’s eyes flashed as he looked at the treasure.

The Mist and Dew Universe Network possesses the subtle interplay of mutual generation and restraint.

The mist and dew are true water, and water can overcome fire. Therefore, even the supernatural power of Samadhi True Fire must be restrained in front of this treasure.

With the addition of the Four Seas Bottle... these two magical treasures can be said to be natural counters to many fire-based supernatural powers, Taoist arts, and magical treasures.

"How was your time at Yuquan Mountain?"

"I'm very happy and relaxed!"

"How does it compare to before?" Yu Ding asked.

Longji looked up at the sky cautiously and said, "Everything is fine."

This will to survive… Yu Ding remained silent, lost in thought: “Have you encountered any problems during your cultivation?”

Longji sighed, "Yes, I've been stuck at this level for a long time. The more anxious I get, the more frustrated I become, and the more exhausted I feel."

Later on, he couldn't even enter a meditative state anymore, but he still had to pretend to be diligently cultivating under his mother's coercion, cough, loving encouragement..."

"Is the Golden Mother Goddess very strict with you?"

"Ahem, Mother is treating me quite well!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the sky again and gave Yu Ding a wink with a pained expression.

"Will the Empress punish or scold you?" Yu Ding chuckled to himself.

Longji laughed and said, "Spare the rod and spoil the child, that's what my father said."

Wait a minute... His Majesty's cotton-padded coat is leaking air.

Yu Ding looked thoughtfully at Long Ji and asked, "So, do you like cultivation?"

"I love it, haha, I love it so much."

Longji's smile was more like a grimace, and he shrugged helplessly at Yu Ding.

Yu Ding suppressed a laugh and asked, "One last question, how long did it take you to cultivate to the Void Returning Realm?"

Longji hesitated for a moment: "A month... I guess. Master, don't look at me like that. We have twelve cycles in one yuan, and twelve months in a year. One cycle... isn't that a month?"

She sounded a little guilty at the end.

She originally thought she was no bad, but when she heard that Yang Jian only had ten years... well, that hurts.

"Alright, your reasoning is clear, and you're not stupid..." Yu Ding nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

The so-called innate deities are those who were born after the chaos was created, before the primordial world had evolved.

Because the laws were incomplete at that time, and there were no cultivation paths at all, the cultivation environment was extremely poor, so they could only rely on themselves to figure out how to cultivate...

Fortunately, they are immortal and do not have to worry about dying; they have a long life to squander.

Later races like the dragon, phoenix, and qilin were blessed by heaven and earth, possessed unique advantages, were born sacred, and had very long lifespans.

They didn't feel that their cultivation was slow.

It wasn't until the emergence of humans that their preconceived notions were completely shattered.

The way of Heaven is impartial. Compared to the divine, the lifespan of humans is extremely short, like fireworks—whoosh, pop, gone!

They are as fragile as ants from birth.

But it is precisely this weak race and creature that, despite their short lifespan, cultivates so quickly that it is hard for them to accept, challenging their understanding time and time again.

It also made them realize... times have changed!

Of course, Long Jisan's cultivation has reached the Void Returning stage... her aptitude is truly remarkable, at least more acceptable than her Void Returning stage at sixteen.

Furthermore, there's another point: Longji's foundation is frighteningly solid. This is different from Yang Jian. When Yang Jian ascended to heaven, he reached a certain realm, but his magical power for breaking through was insufficient. Fortunately, he had the "elixir" from Laozi to replenish his power.

Longji's magical power has reached a certain level... he's just short of enlightenment.

"Master, can you teach me to become a celestial being in ten years, just like you taught Senior Brother Yang Jian?" Longji asked expectantly.

I doubt you could turn me into a celestial being, but if you develop quickly, you might grow into one... Yu Ding smiled mysteriously: "Guess."

Yang Jian is a talented person whose aptitude, comprehension, luck... almost every attribute value is maxed out.

In some places, even he, as the master, is envious.

In other words, Yang Jian's experiences would definitely make him a protagonist template in Earth-based novels.

He suffered a devastating tragedy in his childhood, losing his family and wandering from place to place until he found a renowned teacher, rescued his mother from danger, and finally achieved a happy ending, becoming famous far and wide...

Think of Jiang Ziya, the protagonist of the Investiture of the Gods.

Even after Yuanshi Tianzun gave him a cheat code and the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu helped him, he was killed seven times. How tragic was that?

Then look at Yang Jian, who displayed his skills in the Investiture of the Gods, fighting against the Jie Sect and other extraordinary people from all directions, achieving remarkable feats.

Even against opponents they couldn't defeat, they generally escaped unscathed, suffering fewer setbacks than some of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

You, a girl who's good at making money, what's going on with your luck and hard skills? Don't you know?
"If ten years isn't enough, a hundred years will do, or even a thousand years..."

Longji probably also felt that her request was a bit excessive, and smiled pleadingly.

Yu Ding pondered for a moment.

Longji climbed behind Yu Ding and began to massage his back, saying softly, "Master!"
"Huh..." Yu Ding shuddered, glancing at her: "Forget about this ten years, it'll be a hundred years..."

What Longji lacks now is not meditation, but relaxation and stress relief.

In the past, they were pressured too much by the Queen Mother of the West.

Longji's eyes lit up: "How about it?"

"I, as your teacher, am willing to take on the challenge."

Yu Ding sighed, "This is his Achilles' heel!"
I used to think that Yang Jian's self-taught disciples didn't reflect his teaching level, but when I encounter this... Heaven, please continue to give me self-taught disciples!

"Thank you, Master!"

Longji smiled sweetly, then asked in a low voice, "Master, what is a pig...?"

"Why are you asking this?" Yu Ding was taken aback.

Longji chuckled dryly, "It's nothing, I just haven't seen it before and wanted to see what it looks like."

In her mother's words, eating so many peaches of immortality would make even a pig become an immortal.

She was still upset after being scolded.

However, she quickly came out of it. She had never seen a pig before. What if it was a powerful monster or beast? Anyway, as long as it wasn't human, it wasn't too far-fetched.

Yu Ding suddenly remembered that this prince either lived in the Kunlun Wonderland or in the Heavenly Court, and had only ever seen divine beasts and immortal beasts.

Never seen a pig before...that's normal!
It seems that she will have to take Longji out to travel and experience things, because she has found that Longji knows and understands too little about the affairs of the mortal world.

Yu Ding glanced at it, raised his hand and pointed, and a burst of spiritual light burst forth from his fingertip, forming a black pig.

"This is a domestic pig!"

He doesn't seem fierce or powerful... Longji smiled outwardly but was surprised inwardly.

Then, the image on Yu Ding's fingertip changed, showing a ferocious-looking wild boar: "This is a wild boar."

"Wow, what a ferocious beast!"

Longji was overjoyed and said, "Is this what Mother Empress was talking about?"

The ferocious beast... Yu Ding glanced at the wild boar, and his desire to take his apprentice down the mountain became even more urgent.

"Get down and sit properly. I'm going to teach you a lesson now!" Yu Ding said.

"Eh!"

Longji quickly sat down, looked up, opened his eyes wide, and pretended to be listening attentively.

Wow... Master looks so good!

Yu Ding looked at her and said, "In the first lesson, we will talk about the two words 'cause and effect'... and how to cleanly resolve cause and effect."

"Cause and effect... to settle cause and effect?" Longji was taken aback.

"Yes, you are not the only one in this world. As long as you come into contact with other living beings, you will inadvertently create causes that will eventually bear fruit."

Yu Ding nodded and said, "Heaven's way is impartial; cause and effect mean that what you owe must be repaid, and what others owe you... will eventually be repaid as well..."

The ways to settle these karmic debts are incredibly varied. Some use magical treasures, others use cultivation techniques, and some even offer themselves in marriage… only then can they be satisfied.

"Promise yourself?"

Longji glanced at the jade cauldron, then her face suddenly flushed slightly: "Master, is there any karma between master and disciple?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Ding was almost choked by his apprentice's words. What on earth was going on in this little head of his apprentice?
But he could only nod speechlessly and say, "Yes, but not that kind of thing. The master-disciple relationship is very pure. Don't get the wrong idea."

"Using one's own body as a form of atonement is something I, as a teacher, absolutely do not advocate or allow!"

"What if our demands for retribution are too much and we can't accept them?" Longji quickly changed the subject.

"Good question, that's what I'm going to say next."

Yu Ding smiled warmly: "If they go too far..."

If one can no longer tolerate it, then there is no need to tolerate it any longer. Kill him, destroy his body and evidence, sever his soul and spirit, and shred his primordial spirit... These three things are all indispensable, and not a single wisp of his primordial spirit can escape.

Remember, if you're going to do something, do it cleanly and decisively. Otherwise, the cause and effect will not only remain unresolved but will also worsen. Do you understand?

Yu Yu Ding never expected that Yuan Hong had such talent in settling karmic debts. He was self-taught and his work was in no way inferior to that of the old Taiyi.

"Destroy the corpse, erase all traces, sever the soul, annihilate the spirit, and shred the primordial spirit?"

Longji silently recited it a few times, his eyes sparkling, and he smiled, his eyes curving into crescents: "Disciple has remembered."
