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

Chapter 31 Junior Brother, Something's Wrong
Was it Yuan Hong who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace?

Yu Ding stared in disbelief.

Is he the disciple whom he values ​​highly, whom he has repeatedly instructed and painstakingly taught to be a good person so that he can walk on the right path?

He felt a tightness in his chest and a sense of frustration.

It's like a teacher seeing a genius and putting in a lot of effort to nurture and educate them, hoping the student will have a bright future.

As a result, the student went off to become a hoodlum after graduation and caused a huge disaster...

Yu Ding was in a bad mood.

He just wanted to watch the drama unfold, how did it suddenly turn into him getting involved?

Furthermore, teaching demonic arts and supernatural powers was already a major taboo within the Chan sect, yet his disciples still…

Yu Ding couldn't help but sigh.

If the Heavenly Court finds out about this, wouldn't they hold Yu Ding responsible?
Although his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, was quite protective of his own, he still had to give the Heavenly Court an explanation, right?

Will he be the first to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods?
Thinking of this, Yu Ding shuddered. He was still quite wary of the legendary Investiture of the Gods.

This matter must never be known to anyone; that mischievous monkey is too far away for him to handle...

Yu Ding glanced indifferently at Qing Yun, who was still in shock.

"Qingyun, my senior brother and I still have things to discuss. You can go out now!"

Let's deal with this kid first.

Otherwise, this kid's unusual behavior could easily arouse Taiyi's suspicion.

"The disciple retire."

Qingyun bowed to Qingyun and then turned and retreated.

Fortunately, Taiyi's attention was not on a mere child from Qingyun at the moment.

"Junior brother, why aren't you smiling?"

Taiyi stared at the jade cauldron in surprise: "Isn't it funny?"

"How funny, how funny," Yu Ding said with a forced smile.

Tomorrow, I'll have your apprentice wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and then I'll ask you if that joke is funny or not.

"Your smile looks so forced?"

Taiyi asked suspiciously, "This matter...could it have something to do with you?"

"Impossible! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Yu Ding responded with a righteous and stern denial, followed by a triple denial.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi's doubts were not dispelled. Instead, he stared at the jade cauldron with a scrutinizing gaze and a strange expression on his face.

Yu Ding felt a little guilty under the gaze, and just as he was about to say something, Taiyi shook his head and said, "Something's not right, Junior Brother, something's not right."

"No, senior brother, where did you see that I was wrong? And which eye of yours saw that it was related to me?"

Yu Ding said innocently, "Tell me, tell me and I'll explain."

Taiyi's expression was strange: "Really...it has nothing to do with you?"

"I am devoted to the Tao, how could I have the time and energy to take on disciples and pass on my skills?"

Taiyi remained silent in thought.

"Besides, senior brother, you know me."

"With your foundation destroyed and your skills completely lost, do you think I still have the heart to teach disciples?"

Master Yuding sighed deliberately, "Have you seen a strange face during your visits to my Jade Spring Mountain?"

Besides, what is my relationship with my senior brother?
"If I were to consider taking on a disciple, would I hide it from you, my senior brother?"

Taiyi Zhenren nodded slightly.

Indeed, the three generations of the Chan Sect had few disciples.

Because the Twelve Golden Immortals have been stuck at their current level for many years, they are now working hard to sever their three corpses in order to cultivate into the Great Luo Immortal realm.

Only the Great Immortals are truly transcendent, beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements.

They are currently in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, where the Three Flowers Gather at the Top and the Five Qi Converge at the Origin. Although they can live as long as heaven and earth and be the same age as the sun and moon, they cannot achieve transcendence.

Every so often, calamities will still befall you. If you cannot quickly sever the three corpses and achieve the Great Luo realm, then your own calamity is not far off.

Therefore, he believed that Yu Ding would never have taken on disciples before he was injured.

Stuck at the Taiyi realm for so long, all twelve of them were in a terrible mood. Who was in the mood to take on disciples?
If it weren't for before the injury—

That would be impossible after he was injured. After he was injured, he frequently traveled to and from Yuquan Mountain.

He has come two or three times in just over ten years, but has never seen any unfamiliar faces, so unless Yu Ding teaches such a disciple within five or six years.

But how is this possible?

Didn't you notice that he's still only at the Qi Refining stage after all these years?
This is completely illogical; Taiyi has ruled out one option.

Of course, he hadn't initially thought that Yu Ding and Yuan Hong would have any connection. He just made a joke because he saw that Yu Ding's reaction was off.

At this moment, Yu Ding gave a reasonable explanation, which was just the right explanation to convince him.

"I thought this was funny, so I came all this way to tell you."

Taiyi, losing interest, waved his hand and said, "Fine, since you find it boring, I'll leave."

"Senior brother, please wait!"

Yu Ding called out quickly.

Taiyi turned around in surprise and saw Yuding rubbing his hands and smiling, "Senior Brother, would you mind staying for a few days?"

"What is it?" Taiyi asked.

Yu Ding smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that the immortal peach spiritual root will be ripe in a couple of days. There are immortal peaches that ripen only once every nine years. I would like to invite you to try them, senior brother. Would you do me the honor?"

"Alright!" Taiyi nodded.

In fact, he had eaten many peaches from the Heavenly Peach Tree, which was a tree with innate spiritual roots. No matter how good the spiritual roots in the mortal world were, they could not compare to the peaches from the heavens.
However, since Yu Ding had made the request, it was a token of his goodwill, and he naturally couldn't let it go to waste.

That's what Master Taiyi was thinking, so he really was going to eat the peach. Even if it tasted bad, he had to endure it, not wanting to offend his junior brother...

The next day, Master Taiyi sat cross-legged on the cliff outside the cave, facing east and practicing meditation. "Good morning, senior brother."

Yu Ding strolled over.

Good morning, junior brother.

Taiyi opened his eyes and replied.

Upon looking at it, they were immediately stunned, only to see Yu Ding swinging his arms and stretching his body while looking into the distance.

That's not the point; the real issue is that the aura emanating from Yu Ding is slightly different from yesterday...

"You've broken through to a higher realm?" Taiyi was taken aback.

The two most important words in cultivation are "cultivation" and "enlightenment"!

Magical power comes from cultivation; you'll reap the rewards over time. But as for spiritual realms, you can only attain them through your own enlightenment.

Yesterday, Yu Ding was at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm, but now he has reached the Spirit Refining Realm overnight.

However, it was nothing to his junior brother.

Taiyi thought to himself that his junior brother had only lost his foundation and magic power, but his insights and experience in cultivation were still there.

It's like someone who doesn't know anything about building construction building a tall building by looking at blueprints bit by bit, and then the building collapses.

Having gained experience during the reconstruction, he could rebuild it without looking at the blueprints. If it weren't for the need to rebuild his foundation, he wouldn't be surprised if Yu Ding broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm overnight.

"Yes, I don't know how I broke through to the next level. It just so happened that Senior Brother came over. Isn't that a coincidence?!" Yu Ding said with a delighted smile.

"What a coincidence..." Taiyi glanced at Yuding deeply: "Yes, Junior Brother, tell me, how could this be such a coincidence?"

He broke through the barrier after only one night's stay...

He strongly suspected that Yu Ding had deliberately timed his breakthrough to coincide with his arrival.

She did this so that she could replenish his mana.

The maximum mana capacity of the Qi Refining Realm is three hundred years, while the maximum cultivation capacity of the Divine Refining Realm is doubled to six hundred years.

Half a day later.

On the cliff, Yu Ding slowly opened his eyes, while behind him, Taiyi Zhenren exhaled and finished his practice.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Yu Ding said, feeling the abundant magical power within his body.

"My senior brother is such a useful tool," he silently added in his mind.

Once his cultivation level is high enough, he can replenish his mana, saving him a lot of effort in cultivation.

Of course, Yu Ding did not neglect cultivation; in fact, given Yu Ding Zhenren's physical aptitude, his cultivation speed could be described as astonishing.

The commonly referred to "year of cultivation" is calculated based on the amount of magical power accumulated by cultivators through a year of regular practice.

However, as we all know, people are different.

The magical power that geniuses cultivate for a year requires ordinary disciples to catch up over several years or even decades.

This is still within the same ethnic group; the gap between different ethnic groups is even greater.

Some wild monsters, lacking proper cultivation techniques, relied on instinct to cultivate for hundreds of years before confidently venturing out, only to be utterly defeated by some young humans who had cultivated for decades or even a hundred years.

As for the Twelve Golden Immortals and other disciples of the Chan Sect, they were born with innate talents and were blessed with unique advantages, which were incomparable to those born later in life.

Yu Ding also enjoys cultivation.

But how can the magical power I cultivate myself compare to the comfort and joy of getting free magic from my senior brother?

Once he breaks through to the next realm, he can freeload off his senior brother, and his mana bar will be fully replenished.

His happiness is beyond what others can imagine.

I can't even begin to comprehend the legendary hardships of cultivation... Yu Ding thought to himself, feeling very Versailles.

"Senior brother, please rest and adjust your breathing here first."

Master Yuding said, "I won't bother you any longer."

Taiyi, who was meditating with his eyes closed, nodded gently.

Yu Ding came from Yuquan Mountain, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

If it's the Refining Spirit Realm...

Then you can use that spell on Qingyun.

When he arrived in the mountains, he couldn't find Qingyun. After searching for a while, Yu Ding found Qingyun, whom he had sent to cultivate, sleeping on a tree.

boom!
"Oh dear, who is it... Master, what brings you here?"

Qingyun fell from the swaying tree and was about to lash out when he saw who it was, and his expression changed.

Instead of cultivating properly, you're slacking off here.

Yu Ding said with a stern face, "Do you think you're skilled enough now and don't need to practice anymore?"

Qingyun chuckled and said, "Master, one spirit peach is worth several months of my hard work. Why should I bother with such strenuous cultivation?"

"Strong words!"

Yu Ding snorted: "At such a young age, you've learned to be opportunistic and tricky instead of learning good things. What are you afraid of if you're not going to cultivate immortality?"

Besides, do you think skills cultivated through external means can last?

"Is it not allowed?" Qingyun asked, puzzled.

"Of course not. Fine, I'll tell you honestly today, kid, the best magic power comes from your own cultivation."

Yu Ding said, "Your master's current level of cultivation and magical power is entirely due to his own diligent study and hard work over tens of thousands of years..."

Of course, I was talking about your ex-master. Your current master still prefers to get things for free... Yu Ding silently added in his mind.

Qingyun tilted his head and asked curiously in a low voice, "Has Master never eaten any elixirs or immortal fruits?"

"Ahem, elixirs and fruits are merely supplementary."

Yu Ding coughed lightly: "We still have to rely on ourselves."
