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

Chapter 355 Yu Ding, you're really a ruthless person!
Ahead, ethereal energy lingered, and an island stood in the sea, its presence casting a dazzling, auspicious glow upon the surrounding waters.

There were no formations or barriers set up on the island, and Yu Ding and his disciples successfully landed on the island under Bi Xiao's guidance.

"The three of you have such great courage, why don't you set up some formations or other such methods in your Daoist temple?"

Yu Ding deliberately tried to start a conversation and said with a smile, "Aren't we afraid of some enemies or adversaries barging in?"

He knew that asking this question was completely unnecessary.

Leaving aside the methods of the Three Immortals, just consider that Biyou Palace is also located in the East Sea.

Given the background of the Jie Sect, even if someone dares to trespass on his Jade Spring Mountain, no one would dare to trespass on the Three Immortal Islands.

Bixiao smiled and said, "It's nothing. My second sister is actually hoping for an enemy to come, so we can test the medicine."

During the drug trial... Yu Ding suddenly stopped laughing.

Is that Fairy Qiongxiao really that scary...? Yang Jian glanced at his master with a strange look, asking inquiringly.

Yu Ding shook his head slightly.

Fairies aren't scary at all; they're quite pretty, have good personalities, and great figures... cough cough, I'm getting off-topic.

In short, what he feared was the methods Qiongxiao possessed.

Thinking of this, Yu Ding sighed, recalling the conflict between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

The courses at Yuxu Palace are divided into four major subjects according to their importance: Dharma, Stillness, Movement, and Technique.

The method of cultivation, needless to say, involves refining qi and cultivating immortality by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and the sun and moon.
Secondly, stillness is the cultivation of the mind, which includes meditation, fasting, and meditation retreats. It cultivates the state of mind.
These movements refer to some external auxiliary methods used in alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making.
Finally, this art encompasses Taoist arts, fate, physiognomy, divination, and other techniques. Although mastering it will not grant immortality, it will allow one to invoke spirits, capture ghosts, consult oracles, and seek good fortune while avoiding misfortune.

The two disciplines of Dharma and Tranquility are the most important, serving as the foundation for a Qi cultivator's livelihood and also considered the righteous path by his master.

As for the latter two subjects, all twelve immortals can master them, but the reason for specifically setting up two subjects is more humane.

These two subjects are designed to address the employment and livelihood issues of students with poor qualifications.

Those disciples had at least cultivated immortality, and although they had no chance to attain immortality, they could at least set up a stall and make a living by catching ghosts and telling fortunes after leaving the mountain, so they wouldn't starve to death.

Anything other than these four subjects was regarded as heresy by his master.

But the Jie Sect is different.

His uncle over there believed in "teaching without discrimination" when accepting disciples, and he didn't interfere with the direction of his disciples' cultivation. He would teach whatever his disciples liked.

This led to the fact that the cultivation culture of the Jie Sect could be described as "a hundred flowers blooming".

This sect has all sorts of people who specialize in various fields: some specialize in weapon crafting, some in formations, some are skilled in fire magic, and some even specialize in biological and chemical aspects such as plagues and poisons...

In short, Biyou Palace does not support idlers.

Their cultivation methods are limitless; there's nothing they can't do.

It is said that the entire Kunlun Mountains, the ancestral mountain range of all mountains, were turned into a mess by the Jie Sect, which led to the Three Pure Ones splitting up.

Ahem, I'm going too far again.

Yu Ding shook his head to bring his thoughts back, and then went back to Qiong Xiao and Lü Yue, the Jie Sect immortals who mainly focused on biochemistry.

They attacked a large group of people!

Like the Plague Immortal Lü Yue, who could easily reap the lives of millions of people by spreading plague with a wave of his hand, and the key is that it is contagious.

How could he not be wary?

Oh, it's not scary... Yang Jian understood when he saw his master shaking his head.

At this moment, Bixiao laughed and said, "According to what Fellow Daoist Yuding said, could it be that your Jade Spring Mountain..."

Yu Ding said, "Only immortals who lack ability, have poor cultivation, and lack self-confidence would act like this. What real, confident immortal would bring that home!"

Ah, that's why there was no barrier on Jade Spring Mountain when he first woke up!

It mainly involves a matter of saving face.

Putting aside their own cultivation level, which hothead would dare to force their way into the Daoist temple of the Three Religions with the reputation of the Three Religions?

As a result, a panicked white ape took advantage of the situation.

From that moment on, the wheels of fate began to turn...

"You're really good at pretending..." Bi Xiao secretly curled her lips. "If I didn't know that you've completely lost your skills, I would almost have believed you."

Fine, I'll give you, Yu Ding, face by not saying anything in front of your disciple.

Bixiao glanced at him: "Did you set it?"

“I didn’t,” Yu Ding said.

“We don’t have any either!” Bixiao said.

The two looked at each other, and then both fell silent.

"Isn't there a magical barrier on Jade Spring Mountain? Although it was set up by Uncle-Master Taiyi..." Yang Jian muttered to himself, but he chose to keep quiet so as not to let his master become an insecure and unserious immortal.

The three walked on the island, which wasn't particularly large, only about three hundred miles long.

However, the island is full of undulating peaks, dense forests, waterfalls and strange rocks, rare and precious animals, and spiritual herbs and medicines. The scenery is picturesque and can be called a fairyland.

"Huh, why do these spirit beasts and birds look so sickly?"

As Yang Jian was admiring the view, he suddenly turned around in surprise, glanced into the distance, and couldn't help but speak.

Along the way, he saw all kinds of bright flowers on the island, but none of the spirit beasts seemed to have any spirit.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding and Bi Xiao exchanged another glance.

The two remained silent, just slowing their pace.

"Disciple, hold your breath and don't smell the flowers," Yu Ding suddenly reminded him.

Yang Jian was taken aback: "Why..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a bit dizzy and his body swayed. Then he suddenly realized what was happening and staggered to Yu Ding's side, protecting it behind him.

"Master, this is bad! These flowers... are poisonous! Quick, let's go! This is... a trap!"

He closed his eyes as soon as he finished speaking, and his body fell uncontrollably, but Yu Ding caught him.

"Oops, too late! Help me up!"

Yu Ding was somewhat annoyed. After stuffing Yang Jian into Bi Xiao's arms, he began searching among the nearby flowers and plants.

"No, even Yang Jian was affected, how come you're alright, Yu Ding?" Bi Xiao asked in surprise.

"Otherwise, how come I'm the master and he's the disciple?"

Yu Ding searched for something among the flowers, muttering, "That Fairy Qiongxiao is really something, planting so many Bewitching Grass and Bewitching Flower here. My disciple is a first-timer, how would he know to guard against these?"

"How do you know these flowers and plants?" Bixiao was even more surprised.

This is the main ingredient for refining the Bewitching Immortal Pill... Yu Ding suppressed his shock and said without turning his head, "I saw it in a book."

The reason why the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is so powerful is not only because it contains the wonders of heaven and earth, but also because it contains the Bewitching Immortal Pill and the Immortal Closing Technique.

When the three elements of formation, elixir, and technique are combined, one can lose the immortal's spirit, dissipate the immortal's soul, trap the immortal's form, damage the immortal's energy, destroy the immortal's original nature, and harm the immortal's limbs.

Gods who enter the formation become mortals, while mortals who enter the formation perish!
He only learned about these two flowers and herbs after visiting the library of Biyou Palace, and knew that they were the main ingredients for refining the Bewitching Immortal Pill.

"Book?"

Bixiao paused for a moment and then exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey, you can say whatever you want, but why are you pulling up the flowers and plants that my second sister is cultivating?"

"Ahem, take a few back to study. To be honest, I, Yu Ding, also have some knowledge of medicine."

Yu Ding wasn't embarrassed after being called out. He casually stuffed more than ten plants into his sleeve and then picked a flower from an inconspicuous one.

"What is that?" Bixiao asked in surprise.

"How could you, as the master of the Three Immortal Islands, not know this?"

Yu Ding rolled his eyes, brought the flower to Yang Jian's lips, squeezed out the juice, and dripped it into his mouth, saying, "This must be the antidote."

Bixiao asked in bewilderment, "Only my second sister has the antidote for the poison of these flowers and plants."

"That's true, but everything in the universe has its counterpart, and there's always an antidote for the most potent poison."

As Yu Ding spoke, he withdrew his hand and carefully observed Yang Jian's reaction, saying, "This flower can survive between the Bewitching Grass and the Bewitching Flower. I guess it must be the antidote that can wake Yang Jian up."

Bixiao looked at Yang Jian, who was unresponsive, and asked, "What if... he doesn't wake up?"

"Then I must have guessed wrong."

Yu Ding rolled his eyes again: "Then we'll have to ask Fairy Qiongxiao for the antidote."

"How exactly do you intend to be..." Bixiao glared at Yuding, feeling an urge to slap him.

This bastard actually used his apprentice as a test subject. How is this despicable act any different from his second sister's experimentation on her?
Snapped!Snapped!
But before Bixiao could finish speaking, she was interrupted by another voice.

"Brother Yu Ding is too modest. He is clearly well-versed in medical principles, yet he says he only has a little knowledge."

A fairy-like woman, dressed in a light green dress, with an ethereal air, delicate features, and a hazy, alluring figure, walked in, clapping her hands.

Her steps were not large, but she reached the group in just a few steps, a kind smile on her face.

However, what really caught people's attention were her squinted eyes.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Bixiao immediately pushed Yang Jian, whom she was holding, to Yuding like a mouse seeing a cat.

Ha, woman, no, female immortal... Yu Ding chuckled inwardly. How about it, disciple? Master is more reliable than a woman, isn't he?

"Brother Yu Ding, it's been a long time," Qiong Xiao said with a smile.

Yu Ding smiled and bowed, saying, "It's been a long time since I've seen Fairy Qiongxiao. This humble Taoist greets you."

After returning the greeting, Qiongxiao looked at Bixiao and smiled, "So you still know to come back, Third Sister!"

"Second sister, as I said, I've gone to the mortal world to temper my heart."

After answering, Bixiao gestured to the unconscious Yang Jian and asked, "Second Sister, how is Yang Jian?"

Yes, the trials of worldly life have led him to listen to music in brothels... Yu Ding thought silently.

"Didn't he wake up?" Qiongxiao gestured.

Then, Yang Jian, who was in Yu Ding's arms, slowly woke up.

After opening his eyes, he immediately thought of something and protected the jade cauldron behind him, watching Bixiao and Qiongxiao warily: "Master, are you alright?"

"Hey, Yu Ding, you've really got some skills," Bi Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

"I have more than two brushes..." Yu Ding coughed lightly, "Disciple, you must not be rude to the two seniors. This is not a trap. The two fairies have no ill intentions."

Yang Jian carefully observed the faces of the group before his guard was lifted, though he remained wary nonetheless.

"Master, be careful. This squinty-eyed woman... cough, this fairy doesn't seem like a good person," Yang Jian transmitted his voice.

Qiongxiao gave Yang Jian a deep look and smiled, "You two have come from afar, please come into the cave and rest for a while."

"Thank you very much, Fairy Qiongxiao," Yu Ding said with a smile.

Then Bixiao and Qiongxiao led the two master and disciples towards the cave.

As long as you don't offend anyone, you're a good person... Yu Ding patted Yang Jian on the shoulder, thinking, "He's still a young man after all."

He has said it countless times: the prehistoric world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

But all his apprentices were incredibly reckless, and none of them listened to him.

Wisps of smoke rise and fill the doorway with auspicious light; towering pines and cypresses surround the house.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao invited the master and disciple into the main cave, but the cave was very quiet and secluded, and they did not see Yunxiao.

"Hasn't Eldest Sister emerged from seclusion yet?" Bixiao asked in surprise.

Qiongxiao said, "It's the same as your worldly trials."

Bixiao asked in surprise, "She went to the mortal realm too?"

Qiongxiao said speechlessly, "No, I mean, I've gotten used to you not being here."

Hahaha... Yu Ding held back his laughter. As for why Qiongxiao was a recluse, it was naturally because she was conducting biohazards on the island.

In that case, his junior brother Yun Zhongzi is more reliable. He's working on scientific research and communication technology. I wonder how his progress is now.

The group sat down as host and guests, and soon children served them fruits and drinks.

However, this tea appears to be a green liquid, presenting a very unhealthy state despite its healthy color.

Yang Jian and Bi Xiao turned green when they saw the color of the drink in their cups, and almost covered their mouths to vomit.

"This is a new drink I've made, Brother Yuding, please try it." Qiongxiao smiled and gestured.

So it's a new product, no wonder I've never seen it before... Bixiao didn't dare to say anything for fear of letting her try it too, her stomach was churning at that moment.

Then, she looked at Yu Ding with sympathy, as if she had recalled some unbearable past events.

Don't ever ask why Sanxian Niang (Three Immortals Brew) tastes so good!
"This tea is poisonous, Master, don't drink it..." Yang Jian desperately tried to signal to Yu Ding with his eyes, "At worst, we'll fight our way out."

Even if it's poison, you have to drink it to apologize... Yu Ding picked up the teacup, smiled without looking at it, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Damn, Yu Ding, you're really ruthless..." Bi Xiao stared in disbelief, inwardly praising him. He drank it down without even blinking, not afraid of being poisoned.

When she first tried the Hundred Flowers Wine, she was overwhelmed by the medicine more than ten times.

"Master?"

Yang Jian carefully stared at the jade cauldron, secretly preparing to rush out with his master.

Then they saw the jade cauldron smack its lips and savor it.

Bixiao and Yang Jian both stared wide-eyed, eager to see what the jade cauldron would look like.

"Not bad, not bad. Fairy Qiongxiao can actually extract and blend the essence of a hundred kinds of spiritual flowers, herbs and fruits."

Yu Ding nodded expressionlessly, smacked his lips, and said, "The main ingredients here should be peach juice, Bodhi fruit, and fire mulberry leaves, supplemented with more than ninety other ingredients. Its benefits even surpass those of fine wine and nectar..."

Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao slowly opened her squinty eyes, revealing a look of surprise as she gazed at the jade cauldron.

"Is it really that delicious?"

Yang Jian and Bi Xiao looked at the jade cauldron, then at the contents of the cup in front of them.

Is this describing... the same thing?

Bixiao and Yang Jian exchanged a glance, and then both of them picked up their cups and took a small sip.

"Sigh..." Just as I was about to stop the two of them from drinking from the jade cauldron, it was too late. The next moment, the two of them were trembling as if they had gone numb.

Then, with a dark face, Yang Jian got up without saying a word, lowered his head, and walked out of the cave.

At first he was walking, then his pace quickened, and finally he transformed into a golden light and flashed away.

Bixiao then vomited with a "whoosh," and while rinsing her mouth with the Three Immortals Wine from the gourd, she said mournfully, "Yu Ding, I... slurp... I'm not done with you yet!"

"Who told you to drink so fast?"

Yu Ding pursed his lips: "I only mentioned the advantages, not the slight drawback of the slightly inferior taste."

“This is called…” Bixiao was about to say something, but Qiongxiao looked over, so she had to hold back.

But Yu Ding, don't you feel any guilt for praising me so highly?

Then there's her second sister. If you're going to make poison, then make poison; if you're going to research drinks, then research drinks. But her second sister just likes to mix the two together.

The resulting product was unpalatable as poison, with a terrible color and taste; yet it was also poisonous as a beverage.

Qiongxiao looked at Yuding and smiled, "Then what suggestions do you have, Brother Yuding?"

Yu Ding pondered for a moment and said, "The creation of a mature beverage inevitably requires decades or even hundreds of years of continuous experimentation and improvement. As for this one, I suggest..."

Qiongxiao listened intently.

"Ahem, well, Fairy Qiongxiao, actually I've come to apologize with my disciple," Yu Ding said at the opportune moment.

Qiongxiao was taken aback and asked, "What offense are you apologizing for?"

Yu Ding said, "My rebellious disciple accidentally released his dog and bit Fairy Bixiao. Although it was a misunderstanding, I feel very guilty, so I specially came here..."

"If it's a misunderstanding, can't we just clear it up? I don't think Bixiao is angry with your disciple."

Qiongxiao waved her hand to interrupt and bring the topic back on track: "Come on, let's get back to the drinks. What's your suggestion, Brother Yuding?"

"Hehe, it's done..." Yu Ding said expressionlessly, "I think Fairy Qiongxiao has put the cart before the horse. The nutritional value of a drink is important, but the taste is equally important, or even more important."

If it doesn't taste good, no one will drink it, let alone anything else. The same principle applies to making poison. Ahem, I digress. The first thing a successful drink must do is to create a strong desire in people to drink it..."

As Qiongxiao listened, her eyes slowly opened and her gaze grew brighter.

Bixiao ran out to rinse her mouth with a dark face. As she left the cave, she could still hear the two of them discussing something seriously.

Judging from their voices, they both seemed to have a feeling of... regret for not having met sooner.

"Another monster!" Bixiao shuddered.

She can drink whatever her second sister makes without batting an eye.
What is a monster if he can share the same interests as his second sister?
Compared to these two, what is her hobby of listening to stories in brothels?
P.S.: I'll correct any typos later. I'm a little late getting into my daily routine today. 4600 words is still a bit low, so I'll shamelessly ask for a few more monthly votes. Goodnight!
