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

Chapter 331 Brothers Became Father and Son
Jiang Ziya began to tremble with excitement, and looked up at Kong Xuzi with disbelief.

It's no wonder he was so agitated.

He spent over twenty years in the Jade Void Palace. Although the path to immortality was difficult to achieve, his vision had long surpassed that of ordinary mortals.

Although the animal hide in his hand was neither a divine weapon nor a magic treasure, he knew at a glance that its value could not be measured by the standards of magic treasures.

Kongxu looked at Jiang Ziya's reaction, smiled and nodded in affirmation of his answer.

To talk about Feng Hou Qi Men, we have to go back to the Battle of Zhuolu, which happened a long time ago.

In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor and the warlord Chi You fought for supremacy at Zhuolu. Although the Yellow Emperor had the help of many powerful figures such as Feng Hou, Li Mu, and Ying Long, he still lost nine battles to Chi You.

Later, Chi You even asked the Wind God and Rain Master to unleash wind, rain, and fog, plunging the Yellow Emperor into danger.

At this critical moment, a goddess claiming to be the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady arrived with a heavenly book, imparting to Emperor Xuanyuan the art of divination and military strategy, including talismans, seals, swords, and maps, thus enabling him to defeat Chiyou.

After the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor entrusted the heavenly book he had obtained to his minister Feng Hou for recording and organizing, so that it could be passed down to future generations and benefit all people.

Feng Hou, a descendant of Fuxi, was an important minister under the Yellow Emperor. As a descendant of Fuxi, he was naturally proficient in astronomy, geography, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and military strategy.

He received the order from the Yellow Emperor to simplify and improve the 4,390 Qimen Dunjia formations in the Heavenly Book given by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, while incorporating human astronomy, calendar, warfare, and strategy into 1,080 formations that have been passed down to later generations.

If the original Qimen Dunjia was a method that only immortals and gods could master to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth, then after being improved by Feng Hou, it became a technique more suitable for humans to learn.

It was only later generations that called it "Feng Hou Qi Men". There is a poem that says: "A divine dragon carries a map out of the Luo River, and a colorful phoenix carries a book in the blue clouds. Therefore, Feng Hou was ordered to develop it into a text, and thus the art of escaping the heavens and the earth began."

"This is the original scroll of Feng Hou Qi Men. Even Senior Brother Yu Ding went through a lot of trouble to find it."

Kongxu said, "He specifically asked me to give it to you at the right time. Although he is not here, he has always been thinking of you."

He emphasized the word "deliberately" a little more.

“The original scroll…” Jiang Ziya’s pupils contracted, he gripped the animal hide in his hand tightly, and his breath involuntarily stopped for a moment.

The value of Feng Hou Qi Men is immeasurable, and the value of the original scroll personally handwritten by Feng Hou is self-evident.

He looked at the roll of animal hide in his hands and felt it become incredibly heavy.

The image of Yu Ding, gentle and warm like jade, smiling, floated into his mind, making his eyes well up with tears: "Senior Brother Yu Ding... do you still remember me?"

He was devoted to the Tao, but unfortunately, he wasted the first half of his life without finding a renowned teacher.

Although he was fortunate enough to become a disciple of a sage, he had only seen that master once since entering Kunlun Mountain, and the master had not taught him anything. He had just asked his senior brother Yu Ding to teach him on behalf of the master.

Because of his poor physical constitution, he has suffered countless jokes from his fellow disciples over the years.

Although Shen Gongbao stood up for him and stopped the crowd, Shen Gongbao was a rabbit who didn't stay in his burrow. He often went down the mountain to see the outside world, and only after a long time would he bring back some celestial wine to tell him about the wonderful world outside and the new immortal friends he had made.

Shen Gongbao returned and then disappeared again, his whereabouts unknown, which can be described as extremely carefree.

He longed for this kind of life, but he knew he was an awkward person.

He lacked the extraordinary talent and profound cultivation of his fellow disciples like Yu Ding, and he also lacked the interpersonal skills of Shen Gongbao. He could only stay in Kunlun Mountain.

He tried to integrate into the circle of his fellow apprentices, but after several attempts he found that he couldn't get in, so he gave up.

As for his senior brother Yu Ding, who was in charge of teaching him, he was often elusive and hard to find.

Several years have passed since he was shown the Battle of Heaven, but he has never seen Senior Brother Yu Ding again.

Since he didn't have a social circle, he gradually adapted to living alone.

He began cultivating alone, carrying water and chopping wood all by himself, refining elixirs all by himself...

The entire Jade Void Palace seemed to have forgotten his existence.

On countless long nights, he would gaze at the bright moon alone when he couldn't sleep.

He doubted whether he could truly cultivate anything.
He didn't know the point of continuing like this, or what the final outcome would be.

But he thought he would most likely die of old age on this Kunlun Mountain.

Just as he arrived quietly, he will also disappear without a trace, unnoticed by anyone.

However, just when he thought everyone had forgotten him, someone told him that someone was still thinking about him, and that it was Senior Brother Yu Ding.

It seems that Jiang Ziya has suffered a lot... Looking at Jiang Ziya, who was about to shed tears, I sighed in my empty heart.

Jiang Ziya's predicament was somewhat predictable, but the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was approaching, and the deity himself was simply too busy.

In addition, he knew that Jiang Ziya was the one destined by Heaven to be the one to confer the gods, and that he would eventually rise to prominence, so he somewhat overlooked Jiang Ziya.

Little did they know, Xiao Jiang was going through the most difficult time right now.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think he's often away?" Kongxu was trying to gain favor with Yuding.

Jiang Ziya hurriedly asked, "Has Senior Brother Yu Ding returned?"

Kongxu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. When he came last time, he saw that you were cultivating very seriously, so he didn't disturb you. Instead, he found me and left this animal skin for you."

Sure enough, having multiple avatars is very convenient.

The Qimen animal skin scroll, personally handwritten by Feng Hou, came from the collection of the Jade Void Palace Library. When he discovered it, it was hidden under many books, so it must have been untouched for a long time.

However, it is not surprising. Firstly, the disciples of Yuxu have a high opinion of themselves. With the teachings passed down by a sage, why would they covet human objects?
Furthermore, the Feng Hou Qi Men method has very high requirements for the mindset and threshold of practitioners; simply put, it requires qualified and destined individuals to practice it.

And Jiang Ziya was undoubtedly the person destined for this.

"I see!" Jiang Ziya said, somewhat disappointed.

"He may be busy. There will be another day when we meet again. Just focus on your cultivation."

Kongxu laughed and said, "Yu Ding told me that this scroll of Qimen is for you to cultivate naturally, and not to force yourself to cultivate, nor to have any burden or pressure. If you have no hope of becoming an immortal in this life, he will personally send you to reincarnation and help you become an immortal in the next life."

Jiang Ziya's spirits lifted, and he bowed towards the distance with a radiant expression: "Thank you, Senior Brother Yu Ding."

Kongxu smiled and said, "If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me."

Jiang Ziya bowed to the emptiness and said, "I remember."

……

Chentang Pass!
In a courtyard of the Li family mansion, the Golden Sheep King, about the size of an ordinary sheep, was quietly grazing with its head down.

"No, Old Sheep, you've really started eating vegetarian food?" The dragon turtle lying next to him said disdainfully, "Look at how scared you are."

Just then, voices came from the courtyard gate, and the dragon turtle quickly lowered its head and took a bite of grass.

The Golden Sheep King gave it a disdainful look.

Soon, a three- or four-year-old child led a two-year-old child who was already walking very steadily.

Li Jing and Yin Guangling followed behind, watching the two children with smiles on their faces.

The group entered the courtyard and found the doors tightly shut. Li Jing glanced at the dragon turtle and asked, "Haven't Master and the others come out yet?"

The one-year-old child tilted his head and looked curiously into the house.

Seeing that the Golden Sheep remained silent, the Dragon Turtle, who was nearby, quickly said, "Yes, Lord Li, the Immortal has not yet come out."

"Then let's wait outside!"

Li Jing said, "Jinzha, sit down with your brother."

As he spoke, he helped Yin Guangling to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard. Yin Guangling lowered her head and raised her hand to stroke her swollen belly, a loving smile on her face.

He looked at Yin Guangling's belly with some worry: "It's been half a year and there's still no sign of pregnancy. I have to let Master see me before I can feel at ease."

Yin Guangling rolled her eyes at him: "Why are you in such a hurry? I don't feel unwell."

Li Jing turned his head away and remained silent.

At this moment, Xiaobai was sitting cross-legged on the ground inside the house, with Yuding standing beside him, nodding and shaking his head from time to time.

Xiao Bai asked with some worry, "Master, what's wrong with my body?"

“There’s no problem,” Yu Ding said thoughtfully.

As the clan multiplies and proliferates, the bloodline of the Wu tribe will gradually become diluted.

In short: each generation is worse than the last.

The purest bloodline of the Wu tribe undoubtedly belongs to the twelve ancestral Wu, the progenitors of the Wu tribe.

Xiao Bai must be a descendant from many generations later, so he hasn't made much progress in cultivating the witch clan's methods.
But he didn't understand what had happened to Xiaobai in the past three years.
Xiao Bai touched his bald head worriedly: "Then will I lose my hair?"

Yu Ding said, "This is normal. By the way, besides the method I taught you, have you practiced any other methods in these three years?"

"No!"

Xiao Bai looked bewildered, then pondered, "I just followed Master's instructions, constantly practicing those twelve movements, and as I got used to them, I kept increasing the pressure, and as I got used to them, I kept increasing the pressure..."

Yu Ding paused for a moment: "Did you feel anything special... during that time?"

"I don't feel anything special... I don't."

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "I just kept doing what my master told me to do every day. No matter how tired or painful it was, I didn't stop. And then I became better and better every day."

Jade tripod: ヽ(｀Д)

Yu Ding paced back and forth in the house with a dark expression, feeling a tightness in his chest that he couldn't exhale.

Damn it... I can't teach this disciple anymore.

Although Yuan Hong and Yang Jian also completed their apprenticeships in three years, neither of them were as outrageous as this kid!
How could someone reach a level comparable to a celestial being in just three years by doing only a few simple exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, squats, long-distance running, and weightlifting? Are you kidding me?
Putting aside others, it took him over a hundred years to achieve the status of a Celestial Immortal, but this kid only took three years.

Xiao Bai shrank back and asked, "Master, why are you angry? Did I do something wrong?"

"It's not that it's bad, it's that it's too good..." Yu Ding said irritably, "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself."

Even if Yu Ding isn't exactly the chosen one, he's still definitely got the main character setup: a direct disciple of a sage, one of the twelve immortal leaders of Jade Void, a great sword immortal of the primordial world... and he even got to listen to a private lecture from his father, Primordial Beginning.

The result... was really discouraging.

Seeing the angry jade cauldron, Xiao Bai quickly knelt on the ground, trembling.

Weak, pitiful, and afraid...

Yu Ding glanced at Xiao Bai. You might say that the method he taught was magical, but in reality it was just a few exercise movements.

So... that means it's because of Xiaobai's own physical constitution that he was able to unleash his potential by constantly breaking through his own limitations?

Yu Ding helped Xiao Bai up: "Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong. Your teacher is just surprised and happy about your achievements."

The emergence of one outrageous individual after another is indeed bad news.
The good news is that these kids are all his apprentices.

The more outrageous their growth becomes, shouldn't he, as their master, be even happier?

If he ever wants to cause trouble for the Seven Immortals, his disciples will probably be able to take care of them without him even lifting a finger.

Upon realizing this, Yu Ding's lips curled into an expectant smile.

Little White tilted her head: "Really, Master?"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I was angry just now because... I remembered an enemy."

"who is it?"

Xiao Bai frowned: "Who dares to make Master angry? I'll go find him."

"No, no, no, I can handle this. Since you're fine, continue cultivating using this method." Yu Ding looked at Xiao Bai with anticipation in his eyes and on his face.

He didn't want to change it anymore, because it would be even more troublesome if it caused problems.

If this kid grows up to the level of an Ancestral Witch, he'll take him out... hehehe.

Xiao Bai nodded emphatically: "I understand, Master."

“Your senior brother and his family have arrived. Let me see what they need,” Yu Ding said.

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment and said, "I guess it's because my sister-in-law can't give birth?"

The baby can't be born... Yu Ding raised an eyebrow. He went out for a while and Li Jing got his wife pregnant with their third child?

Moreover, it seems that Lingzhuzi even became sworn brothers with Li Jing...

Brothers turned into father and son... Interesting, very interesting!
