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

Chapter 233 This Master is Unreliable

Outside the Floating Light Cave.

After introducing himself, Li Jing knelt respectfully, bowing his head and waiting patiently.

"Wait, this feeling..."

Suddenly, Li Jing looked down at the ground, a strange expression on his face.

He suddenly realized something: after kneeling on the hard, broken stone slabs of Yuquan Mountain for a long time, kneeling on the ground now felt as comfortable as kneeling on a cotton quilt.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jing couldn't help but yawn, feeling a wave of drowsiness slowly washing over him.

No, I can't sleep, or the real person will be angry... Li Jing gritted his teeth and tried his best to persevere. That's right, he could fall asleep even if he was kneeling.

After all, those five years at Yuquan Mountain weren't wasted.

In addition to developing incredibly strong knees, he also mastered the amazing skill of sleeping while kneeling.

However, even so, he has come to become an apprentice, so the first impression is extremely important.

If that Master Taixu comes out later and sees him asleep, what's the point of him becoming his disciple? He'll probably just be kicked out.

Li Jing waited patiently, but the days of travel and the three thousand miles of running over half a month were taking their toll, even on his well-trained body.

He warned himself that he absolutely must not fall asleep, but his eyelids just wouldn't cooperate, growing heavier and heavier...

Not long after, a soft snoring sound was heard in front of the Floating Light Cave.

The sun slowly moved from his head to the west and set, replaced by a full moon rising. The summer forest was filled with the sounds of cicadas and frogs, rising and falling in waves.

Suddenly, a foot landed, and a figure carrying a fishing rod and a fish basket appeared on the cliff behind Li Jing.

"Are you here already?"

Looking at Li Jing kneeling in front of the cave, the figure smiled. This kid is quite devout!

Half a month ago, he first set up a cave dwelling here, and then instructed Li Jing to come here to become his apprentice...

In addition, he also took some time to disassemble the Bifang and buried its body in six different places before finally finishing up.

"plum……"

"Phew~~~ZZzz~~~"

Yu Ding smiled and said, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a strange sound.

Yu Ding: "???"

"Hey hey hey!"

Then Li Jing let out a silly laugh and muttered, "Miss Yin, we meet again. What a coincidence. You're still so beautiful..."

Yu Ding slowly lowered his head, and black lines appeared on his forehead.

Goodness, it's impressive that you can fall asleep kneeling, and you're even dreaming of coaxing a girl...

Yu Ding looked up at the starry sky and sighed helplessly. This disciple... can he return him?

But this kid can fall asleep even while kneeling, he must be exhausted... Yu Ding felt a little tired, even though he had prepared a big gift package for this kid's future.

Shaking his head, Yu Ding walked past Li Jing to the stone gate, and with a loud bang, the stone gate opened automatically.

After Yu Ding went inside, the stone door closed with a "bang".

"Huh? Hmm?"

The noise startled Li Jing. When he opened his eyes, looked around and, finding no one there, breathed a sigh of relief and stretched: "It's evening now!"

"Did you sleep well?" a voice asked beside him.

Li Jing stretched and nodded with a contented expression, but suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked up and saw the stone door wide open, and a foot stepped out first, bathed in the light from inside the cave.

Is it Master Taixu...? Li Jing stared wide-eyed with anticipation.

Then a Taoist priest with gray hair, a smiling face, surrounded by a clear light, and a whisk on his arm stepped out of the cave and appeared before Li Jing.

"What an ethereal, otherworldly air... Eh... Eh eh?"

But as the Taoist priest emerged from the light of the cave, Li Jing's expression suddenly changed from anticipation to shock. He abruptly stood up, pointed at the Taoist priest, and asked in astonishment, "Aren't you...aren't you...the senior who guided me the other day?"

The Taoist priest in front of him looked exactly like the fisherman who had given him directions on the way that day.

The only difference between the two was that today they were wearing Taoist robes, and their fishing rods and baskets had been replaced with whisks, and their hair had turned white...

"Ahem, young man, hello there, we meet again!"

Yu Ding gave a polite but slightly embarrassed smile: "I didn't expect you to travel so fast, arriving here in just half a month." In the past, he was known as the Jade Void Immortal, a man of great supernatural powers and extremely high seniority, in front of his disciples.

This also forced him to maintain a certain demeanor at all times, preserving the aloofness, mystery, and authority of a master in front of his disciples and outsiders.

Although it feels good to enjoy the respect and admiration of others, all of this is based on his identity as Yu Ding Zhenren, and is ultimately not his own identity.

But this time is different; this time he is not as Jade Cauldron Immortal…

"Senior Fishing Master... what are you doing here..." Li Jing asked with a suspicious look.

Yu Ding coughed and said, "Ahem, that Master Taixu is a good friend of mine. It's only natural for me to introduce you to him when I'm visiting him, right?"

"really?"

Li Jing stared at the jade cauldron with disbelief, then suddenly said, "The Taixu Zhenren you speak of... is yourself, isn't he?"

"No, cough cough, no, this humble Taoist is not!" Yu Ding waved his hand with a smile.

Even though he calls himself a humble Taoist, he's still not... Li Jing's face darkened as he stared at the jade cauldron, and he said suspiciously, "There's something I don't understand."

"What is it?" Yu Ding asked calmly.

Li Jing stroked his chin and pondered, "Since you are the Grandmaster of the Void, why didn't you just accept me half a month ago? Why did you have to beat around the bush and bring me here?"

"Uh, well..." Yu Ding's lips twitched. He couldn't very well tell her that he had given her a cheat code!

This apprentice is excellent in one way: you don't have to worry about him. He's practically got a cheat code.

Otherwise, if your apprentice is lacking, you'll have to go to great lengths to find a way to give them a boost...

Beside him, Li Jing pondered and asked himself, "I heard from a friend that immortals like to test those who want to become their disciples. Could it be that the immortal is testing me?"

By the end, Li Jing's face had darkened.

Having knelt on Jade Spring Mountain for five years, the mere mention of this ridiculous test now makes him feel as if a herd of monsters is stampeding through his heart...

"Of course!"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Through three thousand miles of clouds and moonlight, your journey has shown me your sincerity, determination, perseverance, faith, and love..."

There are so many… Li Jing’s lips twitched slightly.

If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known I had so many worries!

"In short, I admire you very much, young man. Come, become my disciple!" Yu Ding said with a look of eager anticipation.

Hurry up, don't keep Fellow Daoist Bifang waiting!

"Becoming an apprentice..." Li Jing looked at the excited jade cauldron in front of him with some doubt, feeling a little apprehensive.

He didn't know why, but Master Yu Ding gave him a sense of security. After all, a person's reputation precedes them, and that person's name was well-known.

Even though he was rejected, he still respected him greatly.

But the Taoist priest in front of him gave him a very...

Think about it, he had never heard of such a person in the Immortal Realm from Lingzhuzi.

Of course, this can be considered as ignorance, but I want to see how he came to Flying Fish Mountain.
They all arrived here because they were guided by this Taoist priest.

The powerful immortals usually have a high status; even if you want to worship them, they may not accept your worship.

This Taoist priest, on the other hand, was very humble, almost as if he was begging him to become his disciple.

Perhaps it's just human nature to be base... Li Jing sighed inwardly, looking at the jade cauldron with suspicion.

However, this Taoist priest in front of him always gave him a very, no, extremely unreliable feeling.

At this moment, he truly doubted whether this Taoist priest... had any real skills.

"Ahem, are you going to pray or not?"

Yu Ding also felt that he might have been a bit too enthusiastic, so he immediately put on a stern face and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing sighed inwardly. He had wasted five years at Yuquan Mountain. Now, did he still have the right to choose?

He couldn't wait any longer; if he didn't learn some skills and go back soon, Miss Yin might marry someone else.

"Fine, I've been tricked, so be it..." Li Jing's eyes hardened as he knelt down and kowtowed to the jade cauldron: "Disciple Li Jing greets Master!"

Of course, he had also made two plans in mind.

That means I'll learn here for a while, and if I don't learn anything, I'll run away immediately!
You can't afford to lose both your skills and your wife!
