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

Chapter 356 You and Fairy Yunxiao are not a good match

After leaving the Three Immortals Cave, Bixiao staggered and headed straight for a spiritual spring on the island.

When she arrived, she saw Yang Jian already sitting cross-legged by the spiritual spring, his eyes closed as he circulated his inner energy, his face and head enveloped in multicolored energy.

He didn't look well.

"Hey, Yang Jian, how are you doing? If you can't, don't force yourself. I have some antidote pills here."

Bixiao said with concern, "With the ancient spiritual spring next to you, it can cure all poisons. This time the poison is not strong, but there are too many kinds. I can't hold on much longer."

"Don't worry about me, I... I can do it!"

Yang Jian kept his eyes closed and gritted his teeth, continuing to circulate his internal energy. A clear light emanated from his body, expelling the colorful energy from his body.

The rising air slowly dyed the white clouds above into rainbow clouds.

"Wow, so beautiful..."

Bixiao looked at the rainbow cloud and sighed, but her face immediately turned green. She rushed to the spiritual spring to fetch water, put the elixir in her mouth and swallowed it, then circulated her internal energy to dissolve it.

"Great, I've lived another day!"

Soon after, Bixiao opened her eyes and lay weakly on the ground, looking at the sky and saying wearily.

She looked to the side and saw that Yang Jian's condition had improved considerably, with much less of the chaotic poisonous gas surrounding him.

He actually managed to detoxify himself... Bixiao stared at this scene with surprise in her eyes.

You have to know that even she had to rely on antidotes and the eternal spring to cure her second sister's poison, while Yang Jian, a junior, was able to cure himself. It was no wonder that she was surprised.

"Could it be..." Bi Xiao's eyes flickered as she realized something.

After a long while, Yang Jian finished his exercise by drawing circles with both hands, opened his eyes, and found that all the poison in his body had been removed.

"Hey Yang Jian, what kind of cultivation method do you practice?" Bixiao asked.

Yang Jian glanced in the direction of the cave dwelling and said indifferently, "No comment."

Even within the Chan Sect, very few people have mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and most people don't even know about it, let alone outsiders.

Given the current relationship between the Jade Void and Azure Wanderer lineages, he naturally couldn't reveal his true nature to them.

Bixiao said slyly, "Hey, actually I can guess what you're practicing even if you don't say it. You're cultivating the legendary... Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, right?"

"Don't try to trick me. Like I said, I have no comment."

Yang Jian said calmly, "Also, is there something wrong with your second sister...? It's one thing for the food to serve guests to be bad, but she even poisoned a guest who was visiting for the first time?"

Even though he also lives in Bengbu, he still has some experience with this matter.

"It wasn't poisoning; it's just that some of the ingredients had conflicting medicinal properties. They were all mildly toxic, just a lot of different kinds."

Bixiao sighed deeply and said, "Besides, didn't I get poisoned as her sister too?"

Yang Jian's expression softened slightly.

"And look at the same thing, we were like this after just one sip, but your master drank it all in one go and was perfectly fine."

Bixiao gritted her teeth and said, "That damned old Jade Cauldron, I'm not done with him yet. If it weren't for him, I would never have been so foolish as to drink this sip even if you beat me to death."

"My master... how did he do that?" Yang Jian fell into deep thought.

Indeed, ever since he landed on the island and contracted the virus, he has been on guard against everything around him.

If his master hadn't drunk it all in one gulp and praised it as unparalleled in heaven and earth, he would never have taken a single sip.

"Are you stupid? Not only was that guy not poisoned, but he also drank that awful stuff without batting an eye and even praised it to the skies. Doesn't your master have a guilty conscience?" Bixiao asked.

Just thinking about the taste of that drink made Yang Jian's lips twitch slightly, and his body instinctively felt a wave of discomfort.

"My master was subjected to your second sister's harassment because of me," Yang Jian said coldly, clenching his fist.

"Maybe so. To be honest, he's the second person who can drink my second sister's concoction and still talk nonchalantly."

Bi Xiao did not deny it, and his face showed admiration: "I, Bi Xiao, have never admired anyone in my life, let alone the people of Yu Xu Sect, but just for what happened today, I admire Yu Ding for the rest of my life."

"The second one? Who was your first one?" Yang Jian asked curiously.

Honestly, that stuff was so awful he couldn't even describe it; he simply couldn't swallow it.

He was convinced even by those who could drink this stuff.

"Brother Duobao."

Bixiao earnestly advised, "You should follow your master and learn well from now on. There is still much for you to learn."

At this moment, Yu Ding had followed Bi Xiao out of the Three Immortals Cave and arrived at the back mountain.

There is a cave at the foot of the mountain, and in front of the cave is a small lake where a large swan is playing.

Oh, it should be called a swan here.

Upon noticing the jade cauldron, the swan's gaze immediately sharpened, and it spread its wings, assuming a protective stance.

His immortal power had actually reached the peak of the True Immortal level.

"You beast, step back now! If you disturb my fellow Daoist, I will hold you accountable."

Qiongxiao scolded, and the swan, feeling somewhat aggrieved after being scolded by its master, turned around and leisurely went back to the lake.

"Is that your mount, fellow Daoist?" Yu Ding asked.

He suddenly had some doubts about his mount, the three-headed dragon. Although it was a bit lewd, it was at least at the level of a celestial being.

Looking across the entire prehistoric world today, there are only a handful of immortals who possess celestial mounts, making them incredibly prestigious when they go out.

Qiongxiao laughed and said, "That's right. After I subdued it, I ordered it to guard this place. It's a bit fierce, please forgive it, fellow Daoist."

"It's alright, I quite like small animals too, I've kept them before, cough cough!"

Yu Ding suddenly stopped laughing and changed the subject, saying, "Oh, we've arrived. Is this the place?"

A cave with two stone doors appeared.

"Indeed, although you are well-versed in medicine, please change into these clothes before entering this sect."

Qiongxiao flipped her hand and conjured a set of protective white clothes and a veil covering her face, which she then gave to Yuding.

Quite professional... Yu Ding was stunned for a moment when he saw the protective white coat and gauze scarf. After changing, he followed Qiong Xiao into the cave.

The cave was extremely spacious, with a stone wall separating the interior. In the center of the stone wall was a window with a transparent barrier.

"Brother Yuding, please look at this place where I study medicine," Qiongxiao said, waving her hand.

Looking into the jade cauldron, one could see a tall alchemy furnace in the center, with raging, extremely hot flames inside.

There were shelves around, displaying many books and gourds, while on another shelf were various medicinal herbs labeled with their names.

Yu Ding nodded slightly in affirmation, then glanced to the right through the transparent window...

The next moment, Yu Ding was stunned again. He saw a high platform in the center of the right area, on which various research shelves and jade bottles and porcelain were placed.

In addition, there were jars containing an unknown liquid that were bubbling.

"That's... the place where they study poison?" Yu Ding asked with a strange expression.

Qiongxiao laughed and said, "The things are simple and messy, please forgive me, fellow Daoist."

Yu Ding said, "No, no, Fairy's base and equipment have truly broadened my horizons. My assessment is that they are extremely professional."

That's so damn professional.

I never imagined there were such talented people among the immortals.

However, it's not surprising now. Even he thought the prehistoric world was a very chaotic, dangerous, primitive, and backward world in his previous life.

It wasn't until he learned about the history of the prehistoric world here that he discovered it wasn't like that at all.

Although the prehistoric world was dangerous and chaotic, it was not backward.

Modern civilization has emerged on Earth over five thousand years, let alone in the primordial era.
Countless years have passed since the beginning of time, and countless races have perished in the flow of time.

Humanity prospered under the leadership of sages such as Fuxi, Shennong, Feng Hou, and Cangjie. Who would dare say that no intelligent beings emerged from the races of the past?

Externally, cultivation follows the mainstream and trend, but internally, each civilization will inevitably emerge, such as the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin.

Ultimately, the race was wiped out, but the essence of the culture was refined and discarded, resulting in the primordial world we know today.

Even the dragon and phoenix seal scripts used by immortals today are improved versions of the two ethnic groups' scripts.

"Haha, Brother Yuding's praise makes me quite embarrassed." Qiongxiao said modestly, but his face showed that he was very pleased.

Although the Jie Sect did not oppose her research, everyone had different interests, so there was not much for them to discuss.

For a long time, when she looked at the base that only had her while doing her research, she would still feel that her path was too lonely.

But she had a strong premonition from the moment she saw the jade tripod today.

This fellow Daoist Yu Ding is definitely a kindred spirit, and an expert at that.

That's how she got to her base.

Yu Ding said solemnly, "Fairy, there is no need for modesty. I am telling the truth."

He had only ever met two people among all the immortals in the entire primordial world who were dedicated to scientific research.

Qiongxiao was alright, as the Jie Sect didn't prohibit anything, but the pressure on Yun Zhongzi as a disciple of the Yuxu Sect was unimaginable.

Under the dogma of Yuxu, Yun Zhongzi is definitely neglecting his duties!

Qiongxiao bowed respectfully and said, "Brother Yuding's suggestion was very helpful. I will make some improvements first, and I would appreciate your guidance."

"You're too kind, fairy." Yu Ding bowed in return.

The two immediately entered the poison zone, and Qiongxiao took the lead, starting to refine and mix the liquid.

"Only a god would dare to act like this..."

As Yu Ding watched Qiong Xiao operate with bare hands, he couldn't help but think that those liquids were all poisonous, and if a mortal got a drop on them, he would be completely dissolved.

Immediately, Yu Ding spoke up from the side, referring to the beverage ingredients from his previous life, occasionally pointing to something.

Qiongxiao nodded repeatedly, then buried herself in making improvements.

"It seems... something is still missing."

Yu Ding looked around, his gaze sweeping over Qiong Xiao's instruments.

He admitted that Qiongxiao's small scales were quite useful, but beakers, measuring cups, and small trays were more cost-effective. Furthermore… Yu Ding's eyes flickered, and he took out a folding fan from his sleeve and tapped it in his palm.

The creature depicted in this fan is none other than the Celestial Hound.

"Should we try developing a super dog virus?" Yu Ding hesitated.

It was Yang Jian's act of letting his dog bite Bixiao that inspired him.

Rabies virus has a 100% fatal rate for mortals, but those viruses pose little threat to gods.

But what if... there's a rabies virus that threatens even the gods?

He had only thought about it before, but now, in this professional setting with professional staff and equipment...

"Give it a try... or forget it?"

Yu Ding hesitated, for this virus involved microbiology and could be considered a biological weapon.

I wonder if anyone in the prehistoric world has paid attention to microbiology yet.

"Let's leave it for now," Yu Ding shook his head.

The most direct way to kill an immortal is through physical means or mental curses.

Viruses are too small for ordinary people to handle, but immortals can use their spirits to enter their bodies and kill them. To kill an immortal with a virus would mean the virus is stronger than the immortal... which is unrealistic.

However, Qiongxiao's equipment is still too simple. I'll ask Junior Brother Yunzhongzi to get her a set tomorrow.

Under Yu Ding's guidance and Qiong Xiao's instructions...

After a long while, a finished cup was produced. Although it was still green, it was decorated with a pattern of white clouds.

At this moment, the tea emits a faint, refreshing fragrance.

Yu Ding and Qiong Xiao stared at the tea, their eyes shining with anticipation.

Qiongxiao asked, "Brother Yuding, what is that green powder you added? It smells so good!"

“Matcha!”

Yu Ding said, "Would the fairy like to try some?"

Qiongxiao smiled and said, "It's better if you do it, Brother Dao. If there's a problem, I can help you detoxify."

Yu Ding smiled warmly and said, "Why don't you try it, Fairy? I just drank a cup. Don't worry, Fairy, I can also detoxify."

The two exchanged a glance, their smiles faded, and they fell silent for a moment.

"Should I let my third sister/apprentice give it a try?"

The two looked at each other and whispered tentatively in unison.

Hearing the other person's answer, the two coughed nervously and said, "I think it's okay!"

They all said the same thing again!

The two paused for a moment, looked at each other, and exchanged knowing smiles.

"go!"

Yu Ding, holding his drink, tilted his head and said, "How can we let Fairy Bixiao come? Let my disciple do it."

My disciple, don't blame your master for tricking you. Your master is doing this for your own good.

If you really become my teachers, this will prevent you from abusing your wife for a moment of pleasure only to face the nightmare of chasing her back later.

You must understand my good intentions.

"This is not good..." Qiongxiao said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright, just consider it compensation for him setting his dog on Bixiao Fairy."

Yu Ding said, "Besides, I improved this product, so the fairy should at least have some confidence in me."

"Okay, let's go!" Qiongxiao nodded with a smile.

The two of them quickly headed towards Yang Jian and his companion with the improved version.

Beside the eternal spring!
"What? You want me to drink it?"

Yang Jian was pushed to sit on the stone bench and looked to his left and right at Yu Ding Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao.

A glass of green beverage was placed in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao and Bixiao nodded.

"This is outrageous, Master! Let's fight them off..." Yang Jian looked at the jade cauldron, ready to take action. This is just too damn bullying.

If one cup isn't poisoned, does he still want another?

Yu Ding coughed and said, "Disciple, this improved version is my own creation. If you don't trust others, don't you trust your master?"

"Ah, Master, you..." Yang Jian was somewhat incredulous.

Yu Ding nodded: "Don't worry, with your master here, nothing will happen."

So be it... Yang Jian gave up struggling, looked at the contents of the cup in front of him, suddenly closed his eyes, picked up the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ah, this wonderful taste is...

With his eyes closed, Yang Jian felt as if spring had arrived, the spring breeze was gentle, and his taste buds were dancing. A look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

"It's done!"

Qiongxiao looked at Yu Ding with surprise.

Yu Ding nodded slightly, displaying the demeanor of a master.

What a joke! Do you really think I worked for nothing all those years in milk tea shops and coffee shops?

The problems with Qiongxiao's products are twofold: firstly, the taste, and secondly, the sheer number of ingredients—a full hundred, including all sorts of strange and unusual things.

It would be strange if they didn't get poisoned. If Qiongxiao were to drink it first, the success rate would definitely increase dramatically.

"This……"

Bixiao looked at the entranced Yang Jian in disbelief: "Hey, Yang Jian, are you alright?"

Yang Jian opened his eyes and hurriedly asked, "Master, what is this? It smells so good. Is there any more?"

Bixiao said warily, "Is it really that delicious? Yang Jian, I'm telling you to learn from your master, but don't try to imitate what your master did just now."

Yang Jian said, "Why would I lie to you?"

“If you want it, go find Fairy Qiongxiao,” Yu Ding said.

Yang Jian looked at Qiongxiao, and Bixiao said, "Second Sister, is there any more? I want to drink too."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go make it for you right away."

She was very happy to see the artwork become Qiongxiao.

"Make sure you get a lot!"

Bixiao said, "Oh right, Yuding, you should go with them too."

How much do you distrust your second sister... Yu Ding glanced at Bi Xiao speechlessly.

Why is everyone... so happy?

But at that moment, a white light appeared and a fairy appeared, dressed in white, beautiful and otherworldly, with a unique temperament and aura.

Even Yu Ding was visibly taken aback.

"Miss!"

Qiongxiao and Bixiao stepped forward with delight: "You've come out of seclusion?"

The person who arrived was none other than Yunxiao.

She smiled and nodded at the two of them, saying, "Yes...no..."

"We have guests, but you're in seclusion. How can we greet them?" Bixiao asked.

Yunxiao looked at Yuding and smiled, "Congratulations."

"This humble Taoist has met the Fairy of Clouds."

"He really does stutter..." Yu Ding bowed and thought to himself.

No wonder Yunxiao was so quiet and reserved when I saw her several times; she was as beautiful as a mute bride.

Yu Ding naturally knew that Yunxiao's last words of congratulations indicated that he had returned to the Golden Immortal realm.

He had only met Yunxiao a handful of times, and seeing him now made him appear slightly less imposing.

Being in the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortals, she possessed a unique aura.

In addition, her extraordinary appearance makes her seem exceptionally refined upon meeting him.

Yunxiao's gaze shifted as he looked at Yang Jian.

Yu Ding quickly introduced, "My disciple, Yang Jian."

Yang Jian bowed.

“Not bad!” Yunxiao’s eyes showed appreciation.

At this moment, Qiongxiao and Bixiao told them about the drinks.

Yunxiao's eyes lit up as he glanced at Yu Ding and his disciples before taking the lead.

"My older sister invited you all to come together."

The three sisters went together to the Three Immortals Cave.

Just as Yu Ding was about to leave, he saw Yang Jian frowning and staring at Yunxiao's back without moving, a silver light shining between his brows.

"Disciple, what are you looking at? Do you think Fairy Yunxiao is pretty?"

Yu Ding transmitted his voice and said with a smile, "Although I have nurtured you to be very outstanding, I have to tell you that you and Fairy Yunxiao are not suitable for each other."

P.S.: Sigh, I've turned into a night owl again. I'll correct any typos later. Please point them out if you find any. Thank you! Goodnight everyone!
