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

Chapter 232 Split up
Li Jing looked at the middle-aged fisherman in front of him with suspicion.

He initially thought the middle-aged man was very composed, with a mustache, making him seem much more reliable than the hairless Lingzhuzi.

But at this moment, he felt... that it was a bit hasty.

The angler scratched his head and laughed heartily: "Haha, I'm getting old, and I can't remember things as long as it's been a while... But that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

"Can't remember? It sounds like I made it up on the spot..." Li Jing muttered to himself suspiciously, preparing to look in the direction the uncle was pointing.

"Ah?" Li Jing suddenly exclaimed, feeling an arm grab his neck and lifting his entire body into the air.

It was the fisherman who reached out and lifted him up by the neck.

"Young man, you should be more open-minded and not worry about these details, understand?" the angler said with a smile.

Li Jing felt a strong resistance as he was being held, and he frowned and hurriedly said, "I know, I know, um... senior, could you please put me down first?"

"Let you go? Sure!"

The fisherman laughed and loosened his grip, causing Li Jing to fall to the ground again. Before he could react, he landed with a "crack" and was horrified to find that the stone slab that was attached to his legs had shattered into pieces.

However, Li Jing remained kneeling with his legs bent.

“Uncle… this…” Li Jing looked at the fisherman in disbelief.

“A man’s knees are worth gold; he should only kneel before Heaven, Earth, his ruler, his parents, and his teacher. Why don’t you get up now?” the fisherman laughed.

Li Jing nodded quickly and tried to get up, but after a few attempts, his face turned ashen, and he looked at the fisherman in horror: "Senior, I...I can't stand up."

Could it be that kneeling for too long has caused poor blood circulation and muscle atrophy...? The fisherman raised an eyebrow and quickly squatted down to check.

Jade Spring Mountain is rich in spiritual energy. Even an old man nearing the end of his lifespan could prolong his life by kneeling here for five years. Although Li Jing's aptitude is poor, five years of spiritual energy absorption is enough to cleanse his body, strengthen his bones and muscles.

Although his physical constitution was still poor at this time, it was still a step up from five years ago.

At this moment, the fisherman squatted down and pinched Li Jing's legs to check them, and finally nodded slightly.

"Senior, are my legs... crippled?" Li Jing asked nervously.

The fisherman glanced at him, then suddenly stared at a gold hairpin that Li Jing pulled out of his pocket, half of which was sticking out, and laughed, "That hairpin is nice, is it the one your favorite girl's?"

Li Jing coughed lightly and nodded sheepishly: "To be honest, senior, it's... oh?"

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged fisherman, in a very unsportsmanlike manner, pulled the hairpin from his pocket, then grabbed his fishing rod and basket and ran off laughing.

"Um... my hairpin, senior, what are you doing?" Li Jing was shocked.

The fisherman smiled and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Consider this hairpin your reward. If you try to take it, well... cough, why not give it back to you?"

He then slowly walked away into the distance.

"Senior, senior..." Li Jing said urgently, but when he realized he couldn't get through to him, he gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, stumbling forward. Once he could walk, he swayed and ran forward.

But all he could see was that hairpin.

Seeing Li Jing start running, the fisherman smiled gently, then suddenly stopped and tossed the hairpin in his hand to Li Jing.

Li Jing was immediately stunned.

"Don't ask too many questions. Now that you can walk, just stride forward and walk your own path."

The fisherman turned and waved goodbye with a flourish: "If we are destined to meet again, we will. If we are not, it is better not to meet at all."

As he spoke, he took a single step and covered more than ten miles in one go, and after a few more steps, he disappeared from Li Jing's sight.

“Senior…” Li Jing murmured as he gazed at the figure, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

At this point, he knew perfectly well that he had encountered another master, but he simply didn't know who this master was...

Remembering the other person's words, Li Jing gripped the hairpin tightly, turned, and strode towards the Floating Light Cave on Flying Fish Mountain that the other person had mentioned. As he walked, he looked around at the lush greenery and felt a sense of ease wash over him. Gradually, he began to run, and ran faster and faster…

……

At this moment, inside a cave on a back mountain.

Wow…

With the clanging of metal chains, Yu Ding nailed two divine iron chains into the wall, then examined them.

As the one being scrutinized, Bi Fang was timid and hesitant, his body trembling slightly, his docile expression making him seem less like an ancient demon god and more like a parrot.

This was definitely not something he was faking; he was genuinely terrified of the jade cauldron.

Even if he's sealed away now, he just hopes that Yu Ding will finish quickly and disappear from this cave.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Ding, is there anything else?"

Bi Fang felt his hair stand on end from being stared at, so he had no choice but to ask cautiously.

There is a kind of sorrow in this world that you yourself feel sorrow for, and when Bi Fang said this, such sorrow welled up in his heart.

As one of the demon gods of the ancient Heavenly Court, a fierce god of calamity and war, Bifang strikes fear into the hearts of all living beings wherever he goes.

Who would have thought that he would end up in this situation today? It's truly...

Yu Ding pinched his chin and scrutinized Bi Fang, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Bi Fang was taken aback, but before he could ask anything, Yu Ding suddenly raised his hand, and the cave was instantly filled with snow-white sword light.

The next moment, Bi Fang felt himself fly up, and then he saw his body on the ground and his arms flying in the air.

Ok?
Then, with a few soft thuds, Bifang's arms fell to the ground, while his head landed in Yu Ding's hands.

Bi Fang's primordial spirit was so frightened that his soul almost left his body: "Fellow Daoist Yu Ding, what happened to the promise that... Heaven cherishes life?"

"I'm sorry, but I've changed my mind at the last minute."

Yu Ding chuckled softly and said, "But rest assured, I always keep my word."

He originally intended to seal Bifang here and leave it to a little baby, but after thinking about it, he felt it was not quite right.

After all, this Bifang is no ordinary being; he is a Golden Immortal-level demon god, and once unsealed, his power is too dangerous.

Even without the Primordial Version of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, dealing with him would be quite troublesome...

Therefore, the best way is to separate his primordial spirit and physical body, and his magical power and primordial spirit, into six parts.

Also, don't be fooled by the fact that it was dismembered; a Golden Immortal-level being is not so easily killed or destroyed.

"Buzz!"

Next, Yu Ding summoned the Mountain and River Map to collect Bi Fang's five bodies, sealing only one of them here...

After half a month, Li Jing had traveled three thousand miles and finally saw a mountain peak.

A light mist hung over the mountain, its peaks were beautiful, and its forests were deep and secluded. Even a breath of air from it was refreshing.

He suppressed his excitement and searched in the mountains for a long time. He found a mountain path and walked for more than ten miles before finding a cave.

The cave's stone gate was tightly closed, while the pine and cypress trees at the entrance remained evergreen and entwined with spiritual vines, revealing its extraordinary nature, unlike anything found in the secular world.

Li Jing looked around and saw a stone tablet on the cliff in front of the cave, about ten feet high, with six large characters on it: "Floating Light Cave of Flying Fish Mountain!"

Li Jing knew he had come to the right place, so he knelt down and said loudly, "Master Taixu, your disciple Li Jing has come to learn the Dao!"
