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

Chapter 195 Young Jiang Shangyuan wishes to become the Immortal's disciple
"Wait, what's wrong with my friend?"

It was Zhang Tianyuan, the father, who was the first to notice something was wrong.

His son was only three years old, but he possessed a composure and maturity beyond his years, which made him very popular with the villagers.

But this was the first time he had ever seen such an expression on his own son.

"I saw a light..."

Zhang Youren pointed to the sky and gestured towards the delivery room, frowning: "It flew into the room from there."

"A ray of light?"

Zhang Tianyuan and Yao Shun were taken aback by what he said. They looked in the direction he was pointing for a moment and said blankly, "There's nothing there!"

Zhang Youren fell silent, staring intently at the delivery room with a grave expression, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable instinctive repulsion, or more accurately... he couldn't help but want to leave this place.

"go!"

Zhang Youren pulled Zhang Tianyuan away.

"Where are you going? Stand over there."

Zhang Tianyuan grabbed Zhang Youren and scolded him, "Didn't you see your Uncle Yao is giving birth today? Just wait patiently!"

Beside him, Yao Shun said with a dark face, "Brother Zhang, the one who gave birth is my wife."

"It's nothing, it's the same thing!" Zhang Tianyuan said nonchalantly.

Under the watchful eye of her biological father, Zhang Youren reluctantly sat down by the pond, but her gaze kept glancing towards the delivery room.

For some reason, he felt extremely uncomfortable sitting next to that delivery room, as if he were sitting on pins and needles...

"What exactly...is it?" Zhang Youren frowned and pondered.

"Come on, brother, let's ignore that kid and wait patiently!"

Zhang Tianyuan was pulling Yao Shun toward the pavilion when suddenly a "waa ...

"Born, born!"

The sound of the baby crying excited the two men, and Yao Shun quickly walked towards the delivery room.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Youren jumped up as if she had seen a tiger in the delivery room, and was about to walk out the door.

But after taking only a few steps, he found his body constantly dangling into the air, with only his two feet flailing about.

One hand grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"You brat, your Uncle Yao has a baby. What are you running around for? Come on, let's go see your Uncle Yao's baby."

Zhang Tianyuan carried his son, who was unable to resist and could only hug his arms with a frustrated expression, towards the delivery room, as if he were a chick.

"So, is it a girl or a brat?"

Zhang Tianyuan asked his son a question, which made his son roll his eyes repeatedly.

Yao Shun shook his head and looked at the delivery room door, saying, "She's not out yet, I don't know."

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a midwife walked out smiling, holding a crying baby.

"Congratulations, Master Yao, it's a young lady!"

The midwife held up the swaddled baby for the group to see, and the infant cried incessantly.

"Haha, my dear brother, it seems we can become even closer in marriage from now on."

As Zhang Tianyuan spoke, he lifted his son to the swaddling clothes and laughed, "You little rascal, look, she's going to be your wife from now on."

Zhang Youren looked over with a reluctant expression.

Strangely enough, after their eyes met, the baby girl immediately stopped crying and started to giggle.

"Haha, my good brother, look! Your daughter stopped crying when she saw this brat. She's definitely destined to be my daughter-in-law," Zhang Tianyuan said smugly.

"It seems that it really is... This is really strange."

Yao Shun asked in surprise, marveling at the discovery.

"Ouch, you brat, let go! Ouch!" Zhang Youren suddenly screamed.

Suddenly, the baby girl touched his face and pinched him, causing Zhang Youren to gasp in pain, while the baby girl giggled happily.

"Let go, you brat, let go! Dad, Uncle Yao, help me!" Zhang Youren cried out for help.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianyuan and Yao Shun exchanged a glance and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then, in the next moment...

"Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose……"

Two men burst into unrestrained laughter in the courtyard.

……

Yuquan Mountain.

A sword light flashed through the clouds and landed in front of the Golden Cloud Cave, transforming into a young Taoist priest in green robes. After taking two steps forward, he transformed into a young boy in green robes.

Qingyun looked around the cave entrance, then carefully knelt down and said, "Qingyun has returned from undergoing tribulation after descending the mountain. Please punish me, Master!"

Yes, it's a tribulation!
That's right, he became an immortal.

Although Qingyun was apologizing, his face still showed undisguised excitement and joy.

The True Immortal, although only struck by thirty-two bolts of lightning, signifies that his achievement in this life ends at the level of True Immortal.

But once you become an immortal, you can live forever and won't have to worry about your lifespan ending one day...

In conclusion, the trip down the mountain was quite worthwhile, so he was willing to accept any punishment the old man might impose.

At this moment, outside Yuquan Mountain.

On a mountain ridge, Lingzhuzi lay on the ground and pointed ahead, saying, "Do you see that? That's Jade Spring Mountain."

Beside him, Li Jing nodded, then frowned and asked, "Why is it called Jade Spring Mountain? Because there's a spring in the mountain?" Ling Zhuzi, who was about to explain, opened his mouth, but then said unhappily, "You don't know what you're talking about. Do you think it's just an ordinary spring?"

"Isn't it extraordinary?" Li Jing's expression shifted.

"Uh... Of course, my martial uncle's dojo is named after that spring, how could it be ordinary?"

Lingzhuzi said proudly, "That's a celestial spring. Did I tell you what kind of celestial being my uncle was when I came here?"

Li Jing honestly replied, "Yes, so what's so special about that fairy spring water?"

"Hmm... It makes people strong and healthy, yes, it can even prolong life!"

Lingzhuzi racked his brains and made up a story: "If a cultivator drinks this, their cultivation will greatly increase, and their strength can be increased several times over!"

"Really?" Li Jing's eyes lit up.

"Ahem, of course it's true. Otherwise, how could someone my age have such cultivation?"

Lingzhuzi coughed lightly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and take me for a drink!" Li Jing couldn't contain himself any longer.

"Oh...why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Lingzhuzi quickly said, "This immortal spring water is only effective the first time you drink it. If you drink it during cultivation, it will make your efforts twice as effective. Are you really sure you want to drink it now?"

“This…” Li Jing shook his head hesitantly, looking at Jade Spring Mountain: “Fine, let’s go and become disciples now!”

"It's not us, it's you. When you go, remember not to say that I brought you here."

Lingzhuzi turned and left without any hesitation.

……

A Taoist priest was carried on a cloud flying through the sky.

A layer of white clouds, like another layer of earth, divided the sky into two layers.

The area above these clouds can be called the high sky. As the saying goes, "the higher you stand, the farther you can see," but if you stand up here and look down at the human world, you can't see anything at all.

The jade cauldron descended from the clouds and flew low in the sky below the clouds.

After all, going to Yuxu Palace is something that can be said to be urgent, but it's not urgent either... well, there's nothing urgent about it.

The Heavenly Emperor has already resigned, and someone else will take his place in the future. Does it matter whether he's in a hurry or not? No!
Putting everything else aside for now, let's find the future Heavenly Emperor, that Zhang Youren.

That kid has a lot of potential!

"Are those immortals in the sky? Immortals, immortals, wait for me!"

As Yu Ding was pondering, he suddenly heard a muttering, and then, for some unknown reason, a cloud of gray mist shot into the sky, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Yu Ding flashed and transformed into a sword light, landing gracefully and looking around in surprise.

This is unbelievable... He, a celestial being, almost fell off the sky while riding a cloud. This is too outrageous.

Upon looking at him, he immediately noticed a young man dressed in gray, thin, with an honest face and a stubble beard reminiscent of Huanglong, who was rushing towards him with delight.

A few meters away from him, he knelt down with a "thud" and, using the momentum, glided excitedly toward the jade cauldron.

boom!
Unless it's extremely unlucky, a small tree will suddenly appear in front of this middle-aged man, and he will roll on the ground, clutching his crotch.

"Is it this boy?"

Yu Ding shook his head helplessly, having to admit that this kid was indeed an unlucky fellow who had ruined his path to the heavens.

"Immortal, please wait!"

Seeing that Yu Ding was about to leave, the unlucky young man endured the pain and hurriedly waved.

"Please wait..." Yu Ding turned around, his face darkening. He gritted his teeth inwardly; these were the three words he hated most.

Especially when it's said behind his back.

Clang!
The jade cauldron transformed into a sword light and soared into the sky. The unlucky young man looked disappointed and sighed, "Immortal, don't walk so fast, or you might fall like you did just now..."

Just then, the sword light suddenly trembled, disappeared into the clouds, circled around, and then returned.

Upon landing, it transformed back into a jade cauldron.

"You brat... shut your mouth!"

Yu Ding stepped forward with a dark face, intending to teach this jinx a lesson, but luckily he was quite skilled.

If it were someone less skilled... they might have been knocked off their feet by those words.

"I've seen the Immortal!"

The young man, whose boastful and nonsensical manner had a touch of Huanglong's style, was overjoyed to see the jade cauldron return and kowtowed, saying, "This humble one, Jiang Shang, has admired the Dao of Immortality since childhood, and has sought immortals in all directions with unwavering sincerity and determination. Today, to meet the venerable immortal is truly due to my sincere heart..."

Yu Ding, who had rushed forward angrily, paused for a moment, then asked strangely, "You said... your name is Jiang Shang?"

He was riding the clouds so skillfully when this future junior brother told him to come down. Could this be considered a special kind of fate?
“Indeed, please accept me as your disciple, Immortal Master…” Jiang Shang quickly said.

"Taking on apprentices?" Yu Ding's eyes flashed.

If this kid had continued on his original path, he would have been his master's last disciple. For him to take on a disciple... was a bit overstepping his bounds.

Furthermore, considering that even this kid's bad luck can affect him, he's also finding it hard to control himself!
The young man was nodding when he suddenly cried out and jumped up from the ground, rubbing his bottom with a flushed face.

A scorpion slowly crawled across the ground.

Yu Ding: "..."

Well, I'm definitely not going to take this apprentice.

Furthermore, this kid has extremely poor aptitude; even if he were Jiang Ziya, his talent would be quite ordinary.

To describe it in one word, it really is: completely unremarkable!
"I can't teach him..." Yu Ding shook his head. Jiang Ziya was a tough nut to crack, even Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't teach him.

He decided to give up, but this kid was, after all, a key figure in the Investiture of the Gods.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Ding had an idea: Just like before, take it back to Yuanshi Father to teach…
