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

Chapter 302 Don’t come over

Inside the General's Mansion, there was a moment of complete silence.

Whether they were ordinary people from Chentang Pass or soldiers who came to witness the ceremony, they were all stunned.

This includes Yin Guangling, and Yin Guangling's mother, who sits next to Yu Ding.

They knew that Li Jing had a master who lived in the east courtyard, but he rarely went out and was rarely seen by anyone.

But no one expected that this person would make a move... no, not even make a move.

With just a few words, the wind and rain stopped, and the dragon was frightened away.

"I must say, these gifts... are not bad at all."

Yu Ding looked at the scales and smiled, "Jing'er, put them away. We'll make a protective armor for your wife later."

"I understand, Master!"

Li Jing was both surprised and delighted, never expecting his master to have considered things so thoroughly.

He now possesses an indestructible body and doesn't need it, but Yin Guangling definitely needs a suit of armor for protection.

Under the veil, Yin Guangling bowed happily and said, "Thank you, Master!"

"It's nothing to thank me for. Jing'er is my disciple. Guangling, if you marry him, won't we be family?"

Yu Ding laughed heartily and said, "I hope that from now on you two can be of one heart and mind forever, be loving husband and wife, and live a long and happy life together!"

After saying that, he whispered to Yin Guangling, "Guangling, if this kid dares to bully you or treat you badly in the future, just remember it. When you see him again, tell me that it's the teacher's fault for not teaching properly, and see how I deal with him!"

"Okay, I understand, Master!" Yin Guangling chuckled.

"Master, I heard everything..."

Li Jing, standing to the side, was exasperated. He glanced at Yin Guangling, then his expression softened: "In this life, Li Jing will never betray Guangling!"

"That's good!"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, our progress was interrupted by an uninvited guest. Now... let's continue!"

At this time, the weddings during the Shang Dynasty were quite different from those seen on the jade tripod. After the ceremony was completed in an orderly manner, two maids carrying dragon and phoenix candles led the newlyweds into the bridal chamber in the back hall.

Seeing this, Yin Guangling's mother smiled, her eyes slightly red, and wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve.

“By the way, that guy Bi Fang…” Yu Ding looked at the newlyweds’ backs, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

After the maid left, only the newlyweds remained in the bridal chamber, the candlelight flickering.

Yin Guangling sat quietly by the bedside, watching the graceful figure. Li Jing lifted the veil and saw a beautiful and delicate face.

In the candlelight, her face was even more breathtaking, and Li Jing was momentarily mesmerized by her beauty.

"Have you seen enough?"

Feeling a little embarrassed by the stares, Yin Guangling kicked Li Jing, a blush creeping onto her pretty face.

"Have you seen enough...no, not enough!"

Li Jing answered casually, but after being kicked, he immediately realized his mistake and changed his answer to, "I can never get enough of looking at you!"

"Heh, you're quite the smooth talker. How come I never noticed you were so glib before?!" Yin Guangling scoffed.

Li Jing hurriedly said, "It's not just flattery, it's the truth, Guangling. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. At that time, I swore in my heart that if I could marry you, I would live thirty years less..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Guangling kicked him to the ground, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "On a day like today, what nonsense are you spouting? If you say such unlucky things again, I'll kick you to death."

After being kicked down, Li Jing chuckled nonchalantly and sat down on the ground to examine Yin Guangling, saying, "My wife is so beautiful, ah, my wife is just so beautiful... I, Li Jing, am truly fortunate to have married her in this life, no, in ten lifetimes."

"You smart aleck!" Yin Guangling glared at him, but couldn't hide her smile. Then, remembering something, she said, "But speaking of which, I didn't expect your master to be so powerful."

When you mentioned it before, I didn't really think much of it. I figured even the most powerful person couldn't compare to the Jade Cauldron Immortal I met that time..."

"Master Yu Ding is indeed powerful, but he is not as good as my master."

Li Jing snorted, "Don't be fooled by his reputation; he's lost more often than he's won in his bets with my master."

"Good good!"

Yin Guangling didn't want to argue. She glanced out the window and said, "It's getting late. Go and entertain the guests. Oh, and give me a lock of your hair."

"Alright, then I'll go and entertain everyone." Li Jing nodded, cut off a lock of hair, handed it to Yin Guangling, and left the bridal chamber.

In the bridal chamber, Yin Guangling cut off another lock of her hair, looked at the two locks, and smiled...

The banquet had already begun in the front courtyard.

"Disciple, come here!"

Just as Li Jing was about to reach the front hall, Yu Ding came out from around the corner and beckoned him to the side.

"Master?"

Li Jing asked in surprise, "Why aren't you attending the wedding banquet in the front hall? What are you doing here?"

"I'll help you!" Yu Ding said, his hand forming a sword-like finger, smoothly gliding across Li Jing's arm, making the sleeve slide open like water.

An arm sealed by a talisman was revealed.

"Help me?" Li Jing asked, puzzled. His expression changed when he saw the arm.

"Of course! You wouldn't want your wedding night to be disturbed, would you?"

As Yu Ding spoke, he pointed his finger, and the talisman wrapped around Li Jing's arm was peeled off with a whoosh.

"What does Master intend to do with Bifang?" Li Jing asked tentatively.

"Make room!" Yu Ding said without looking up.

"You old Taoist priest... are you going to keep bothering me like this?"

As he was speaking, Li Jing lowered his head and gritted his teeth, revealing crimson demonic runes on his right cheek and right arm.

When Li Jing looked up again, his right eye had turned into an eerie crimson pupil, and a powerful demonic energy began to rise...

"Bifang, don't do it."

On the other side, Li Jing shouted anxiously.

"do not move!"

Yu Ding glanced up at him and said indifferently, "Stop messing around! Even in your prime, you're no match for me."

Upon hearing this, the rising aura emanating from Li Jing suddenly weakened considerably. After staring at the jade cauldron for a moment, Bi Fang jumped up and down in frustration, asking, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"You were the one who sealed me inside your disciple's body back then, and now that I've finally gotten used to living here, you're the one who wants to torment me out again. Aren't you annoying?"

As they were talking, a glint flashed in Li Jing's unchanging left eye, and he quickly said, "Master, please leave Bifang here. This disciple is fine with it."

"Didn't you want to get rid of him before?" Yu Ding raised an eyebrow.

Actually, he pretty much figured it out himself.

Everything went as he expected; after years of getting along, Bi Fang and Li Jing seemed to have developed some tacit understanding.

The Bifang is not as ferocious and violent as it used to be...

Simply put, after spending a lot of time with Li Jing, this once mighty demon god seems to have gained a bit more... humanity!
This would have been impossible before, since these demon gods are all high above and mighty, how could they care about weak humans, just as humans wouldn't care about ants on the ground.

However, after Bifang was dismembered into eight pieces, greatly reducing its strength, and then sealed inside a human body, the two depended on each other for survival, and were subtly influenced by each other to some extent.

Of course... this influence is mutual!
Li Jing shook his head and said, "He can help disciples cultivate their mental composure."

It can be said that when his master was not around, Bifang was his greatest reliance.

"Is it to help you cultivate, or do you need his power...?" Yu Ding said calmly, "Bi Fang, if you want to avoid me tormenting you, that's fine, but the problem is you're not being honest!"

"Who said that?" Bi Fang denied it. "How could I be dishonest when I'm like this?"

"Is that so? But I see that your current power is far beyond what it was back then," Yu Ding said calmly. "Did you persuade my disciple to unseal some of your power again?"

"you……"

Bi Fang's expression changed drastically. He stared intently at the jade cauldron, and as he spread his hands out as if to grasp something, crimson light began to gather in his palms.

“Bifang, don’t fight my master. I’ll persuade him,” Li Jing quickly said.

"This kid still has some conscience..." Bi Fang thought to himself, as the red light in his palm slowly faded away.

“Anyway, you can’t beat him!” Li Jing continued.

"You brat, you're talking nonsense..." Bi Fang's eyes widened suddenly. As expected of master and disciple, they were both so...repulsive!

Li Jing sighed and said, "Master, this was not Bi Fang's doing. It was my own idea to break the seal for him. If you want to blame or punish me, then punish me!"

“Disciple, you are too simple and honest. How could you possibly be a match for such a cunning and treacherous demon god?”

Yu Ding said calmly, "Forget about punishment. Just listen from the side and leave everything to your master. Don't interrupt our conversation." Li Jing stammered and fell silent, his right red pupil lighting up again.

"What exactly do you want?" Bi Fang stared intently at the jade cauldron.

"Now you have two choices!"

Yu Ding held up two fingers, bending one down, and said, "The first is to sign a life-and-death contract with my disciple!"

"What? You're going to tie my life and fortune to this mortal brat?"

Bi Fang, shocked and furious, flung his sleeve: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"It seems you've chosen the second option, fellow Daoist..."

Yu Ding's eyes flashed, and his body burst with blazing golden light as he charged toward Bi Fang, who had taken control of Li Jing's body, like lightning.

Bi Fang cried out in alarm, "You... what do you want to do? Don't come any closer... ah..."

Immediately afterwards, the area was illuminated by a blazing red light, and the screams of birds, as if piercing through gold and splitting rocks, rang out.

Soon after, the commotion subsided, and Li Jing was seen lying on the ground, looking somewhat pained, covered in sweat, with a hole in his clothes at the chest, revealing a small black and white Tai Chi diagram.

The Tai Chi symbol has five smoking finger marks on its edge, like branding irons on a person.

"call!"

Yu Ding gently blew a breath, dispersing the white smoke from his five fingers.

"Master, is it done?" Li Jing asked with a wry smile, panting.

"Alright!" Yu Ding clapped his hands and said, "I have made a pact of life and death between you, and I have also opened up a small world in your middle dantian and sealed Bi Fang there with the Yin-Yang and Five Elements seal."

His second option for Bifang was to sign a contract and move to a different place. Alas, Bifang was indeed very close to his apprentice and chose the two options without hesitation!

“Middle Dantian…” Li Jing looked up at his chest.

The Tai Chi diagram and the five smaller marks slowly disappeared.

The human body's dantian is divided into upper, middle, and lower. The lower dantian is the area three inches below the navel, the middle dantian is the Tanzhong acupoint in the center of the chest, and the upper dantian is the Niwan Palace in the brain.

"Gone?" Li Jing was taken aback.

"The method of use remains the same. When you need him in the future, you can loosen the seal a little, and the amount of loosening depends on the power you need."

Yu Ding smiled meaningfully as he spoke: "This way, you can be completely isolated from each other and have your own private space. It won't disturb your happy life in the future."

"Master's consideration is indeed very thorough."

Li Jing initially thought nothing of it, but when he heard what followed, he suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but blush.

Indeed, Bifang used to be able to sense almost everything that happened to him and would tease him repeatedly, but just now he was so eager to keep this backup plan that he forgot about it.

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Disciple, I have one last piece of advice for you."

Li Jing was taken aback, then quickly stood up and said solemnly, "Master, please speak. I am all ears."

“We can yearn for the power to do something, but only if we can control that power, rather than being blinded and enslaved by it…” Yu Ding said meaningfully.

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully and said, "Disciple will remember."

"Alright, then I can rest assured. Enjoy your wedding night!"

Yu Ding stood with his hands behind his back, raised his hand and beckoned, a pot of wine flew over and landed in his arms, he laughed and said: "With your master here, even if the Dragon Palace of the East Sea collapses tonight, it won't disturb you."

Master's domineering presence... Li Jing quickly replied, "Thank you, Master!"

"My disciple is having a feast, you must drink..." Yu Ding waved his hand, picked up the wine pot, and laughed as he rose under the moonlight, arriving at the gate tower of Chen Tang Pass.

Under the cover of night, the outline of the majestic city of Chentang Pass resembles a colossal beast lying prone on the earth.

"Greetings, venerable immortal!"

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city were on high alert. The giant dragon they had just witnessed made them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Upon seeing the jade cauldron arrive, the general guarding the city wall hurriedly bowed in salute.

"You recognize me?" Yu Ding asked in surprise.

"This humble general, He Yunhu, just finished celebrating the General's arrival before taking his turn guarding the city. I was fortunate enough to witness the old immortal displaying his divine powers just now..." the general said with great respect.

"So that's how it is!" Yu Ding smiled. "You can continue as usual, no need to pay any attention to me."

The general cupped his hands in greeting, then led his men to patrol the city tower.

Yu Ding looked around the city tower and saw nothing more than a few large drums and the soldiers' replaced weapons.

"Hmm?" Suddenly Yu Ding's eyes lit up. He saw a weapon rack in the very center of the city tower, on which were displayed a large bow and three arrows.

The large bow and three arrows all looked simple and unadorned, yet they carried a profound sense of weight that ordinary people could not perceive.

Yu Ding stared at the large bow and three arrows. Like the mountain-splitting axe, it was also imbued with human merit, making it a treasure of human merit, but unfortunately, there wasn't much of it.

"The old sage has excellent eyesight."

He Yunhu appeared at the right moment and explained: "These are the Qiankun Bow and Zhentian Arrow, the treasures of Chentang Pass! Since the time when Yanhuang defeated Chiyou, they have been passed down to this day, and no one has been able to lift them."

Yu Ding reached out and grabbed the large bow, securing it firmly in his hand.

Upon seeing this, He Yunhu and the others all held their breath.

With a flick of his wrist, Yu Ding brought the legendary great bow to his hand. He weighed it in his hand, shook his head, and put it down again.

"Old Immortal, why did you pick it up and then put it down again?" He Yunhu asked in surprise.

"Treasures possess a spirit; it all comes down to fate!"

Yu Ding said, "Only those with the right destiny can take it and use it."

Just like that guy with the Mountain-Splitting Axe, if he hadn't been fooled by Yang Jian, would a dignified human race's sacred artifact have acted rashly and stormed the Heavenly Court, ruining his own reputation?
He Yunhu stammered, "But didn't the old immortal pick it up just now?"

Yu Ding said calmly, "Let alone a bow, even if Mount Tai were here today, I could lift it."

That is to say, he has profound Taoist cultivation and can forcibly use it. Even if his physical strength is insufficient, he can still use supernatural powers to pick it up, but this does not mean that he has gained the weapon's approval.

In battle, something that is not recognized becomes a burden rather than an asset.

He Yunhu was lost in thought.

Yu Ding sat down cross-legged on the city wall and began to wait.

This time, however, he did not see any more dragons from the East China Sea cause trouble until dawn.

It's a pity... Yu Ding felt a little regretful, but considering that the Four Seas Dragon Clan had some connection with his old friend Huanglong, he didn't dwell on it.

"Tell your general that I have taken my leave."

Yu Ding said softly, "Tell him not to forget his original intention, not to forget what he said before, to guard this place well, and to protect the peace of the people of Chentang Pass."

He Yunhu quickly cupped his hands in greeting, watching as the jade cauldron transformed into a golden light and shot up, disappearing into the horizon.

Above the clouds, Yu Ding walked with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly he remembered something.

That is, he forgot to warn Venus to have the Heavenly Court's forces rectify their behavior. If they accidentally harm civilians again, I'm afraid his disciple will have to go to Heaven for a visit.

"Wow!"

Just as he was hesitating about whether to go to the Heavenly Court, suddenly, a crane's cry rang out in the distance, followed by someone shouting, "Uncle-Master Yu Ding! Uncle-Master Yu Ding!"

Yu Ding looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white crane flapping its wings and coming towards him, which then transformed into the White Crane Boy.

"White Crane, what brings you here?"

Yu Ding asked in surprise, his expression changing slightly as he looked distressed, "Why has Master summoned me again?"

"Uncle-Master, what's with that expression? Are you unhappy that the Sect Leader summoned you?" Baihe Tongzi said with a grin.

I was happy to go see my master, and my master wanted to see me... Yu Ding coughed and said, "How could I not be happy that my master summoned me!"

"Hahaha!" The White Crane Boy laughed so hard he almost fell over, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle-Master, it must be something good that I came to see you!"

"Oh?" Yu Ding raised an eyebrow.

The White Crane Boy took out a gourd and said, "Grandmaster said that Uncle did a good job in relieving the crisis of the Heavenly Court, so he gave you a reward."

"A reward? What...reward?" Yu Ding looked at the gourd, wondering if he should add a few more strands of Pangu Banner sword energy.

The White Crane Boy said helplessly, "How would this disciple know? Master just gave this disciple a gourd. Uncle-Master, why don't you open it and see?"

As Yu Ding lifted the gourd lid, a beam of jade light flew out and entered his crown chakra, causing him to shudder.

“This is…” Yu Ding pondered for a moment, then his expression changed drastically.

Primordial Jade Purity Qi?!
