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

Chapter 514 Being Played Like a Dog

It's still Yuquan Mountain.

Yu Ding calmly took out his phone, dialed Yu Xu Palace Number One, and quickly resolved Taiyi's debt with Long Ji.

"Huh, you've changed your communication device?"

Taiyi looked at the Jade Void Palace and asked as if it were the first time he had ever seen it.

Without even glancing at it, Yu Ding stretched out his right hand, and a few points of spiritual light appeared in his palm, transforming into two little Taoist priests, one white and one red, only their colors differed.

"Choose whichever one you like."

The reason he went to such lengths to develop this thing was precisely to put it to use in the Investiture of the Gods, so that he could make contact and respond immediately.

As the saying goes: "If you're quick in one step, you'll be quick in every step!"
The Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming have all been arranged, and the small groups for those people have been set up.

He certainly couldn't leave out the 'Jade Void F4' on his side!
Taiyi said, “I just asked casually. You’ve already prepared everything. If I don’t take it…wouldn’t it be a waste of your kindness?”

His long sleeves swept across the hillside like a gentle breeze, and the jade doll was already in his hand.

"These third-generation products are different from the previous second-generation jade tablets. They are driven by our primordial spirits and use our skills. They can also be used as battle puppets."

Yu Ding explained, "Simply put, it develops different functions based on the owner's characteristics. The more knowledge or skills the owner possesses, the more and more powerful the functions that can be developed for this treasure."

He possesses memories of his past life, along with access to the scriptures of the three religions, various supernatural powers and spells, and the heritage of the Wu tribe, all from the primordial era. Furthermore, his primordial spirit is at the Daluo level.

Therefore, it is several versions ahead of others in terms of computing power, database, and functionality.

Taiyi stared at the doll in his hand thoughtfully and said, "Its functions are developed based on the owner's characteristics? This treasure is good, but it might not be very friendly to Senior Brother Huanglong."

Yu Ding was suddenly stunned, then said with a strange expression, "That's not necessarily true!"

Huanglong was, after all, a powerful cultivator. He was a bit reckless, but he wasn't stupid or idiotic.

Last time we were at the East China Sea Commercial Center... cough, anyway, Huanglong can also develop functions that suit his preferences based on his special effects.

Soon, Taiyi separated a wisp of his primordial spirit and entered the 'Jade Void Palace No. 1 Machine', activating it and beginning to study its functions.

"I've heard that the Heavenly Court has elected a new Heavenly Emperor, who is called the Jade Emperor or something like that," Taiyi suddenly said.

Yu Ding twitched the corner of his mouth: "I witnessed it with my own eyes."

Taiyi said speechlessly, "You really are... you never miss anything that happens in this prehistoric world."

Yu Ding shrugged: "It's just a coincidence. There's nothing I can do about it. Senior brother, you know me. I hate joining in the fun the most."

As he spoke, he grabbed a black and white cat that was sleeping under the chair and started petting it.

The white cat, its sweet dream disturbed, bared its teeth and growled in annoyance. But after being slapped by Yu Ding, its eyes cleared up instantly. It could only lie on Yu Ding's body with a disgruntled expression as Yu Ding stroked its fur until it was ruffled.

Qiongqi… Taiyi’s lips twitched, and he looked at the other side of the chair.

A dog grinned and gave a human-like smile after seeing the cat's miserable state.

Beside the bamboo house on the other side, a goat stood up in a human-like manner, wearing an apron and cooking, with an enticing and refreshing aroma wafting through the air.

Taotie, Taotie... Taiyi's facial muscles twitched. Who would believe that one of the four fierce beasts that once dominated the world would one day become a cat that could be petted at will, a dog that guards the gate, and a cook in Yuquan Mountain?
These three were ferocious beasts that were opposite to the Four Symbols of Heaven in ancient times. They were so vicious that even a Great Immortal would have a headache if he encountered them.

It has been weakened considerably, but it is still an opponent that even powerful beings are unwilling to face.

Yu Ding, Yuan Hong, Yang Jian, Long Ji, Qiongqi, Taotie, Taowu... the lineup of this Yuquan Mountain lineage is almost comparable to the Twelve Immortals of Yuxu.

He had to admit that among his twelve fellow disciples, the Yu Ding lineage had the best development.

"What about Chaos?" Taiyi asked.

Yu Ding said, "I don't know. All three have been weakened, but Chaos has not been weakened at all. It is still at its peak. Even the Western Maitreya Venerable, who has cultivated the Golden Body, could not be left alive after a fierce battle. When I attain the Great Luo realm, I will definitely subdue it as well, otherwise the sin will be great."

"It smells so good, you glutton! Is the food ready yet?"

Just then, a divine light flew from the back mountain and landed, transforming into a beautiful figure, Yang Chan: "Oh, Master Taiyi is here too. This disciple greets Master Taiyi."

Taiyi smiled and nodded, but then his eyes twitched slightly. He saw that after Qiongqi had been petted by Yuding, Yang Chan shifted her target and reached out to Taotie, who had been laughing loudly just now: "Little dog, little dog, be good!"

"Roar!" The Taotie bared its teeth and let out a threatening growl before suddenly biting down.

Danger... Taiyi's expression changed. Other ferocious beasts might be tamed, but these few would never be.

This is not his opinion, but the result of countless gods and men. These guys possessed human bodies this time, including the grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan. However, even Emperor Xuanyuan and the subsequent human kings were helpless against them and had no choice but to suppress them.

Before he could even make a move, Yang Chan raised her delicate pink fist and smashed it down on Taotie's head. After a metallic clang, Taotie was struck so hard that his body stiffened, he trembled, saw stars, and became dizzy, staggering backward before finally falling to the ground.

Yang Chan covered her reddened fist, tears welling up in her eyes: "Master, my hand is about to break. Where did you bring this dog from? How come it doesn't recognize people after all this time? It's not as well-behaved as Second Brother's Howling Celestial Dog."

"This..." Taiyi Zhenren almost bit his tongue when he saw this scene.

Goodness gracious! Yang Chan, who usually seems so gentle, well-behaved, and adorable, actually punched Taotie into this terrible state.

Although she herself was also suffering, it was enough to show that her physical body was not much worse than that of the Four Ancient Fiends.

"It...it has some face blindness!"

Yu Ding quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Why did you provoke it? Go find your dining companions."

These three ferocious beasts were all captivated by his powerful martial arts, cough, personal charisma, and completely ignored everyone else.

But one day, Taotie insisted on showing off his skills and cooked several dishes at Yuquan Mountain.

That tasted even better than the cooking of the imperial chefs in heaven.

However, this also attracted Yang Chan, an uninvited guest, and a battle for food ensued between the two...

This meeting and contest was truly a clash of equals, with one table of dishes not being enough for the gluttons, so they prepared table after table.

However, their stomachs were like bottomless pits, impossible to reach the bottom, let alone fill. Seeing this, Yu Ding had no choice but to stop the competition.

There was nothing he could do; he had no surplus food at Yuquan Mountain! However, after that competition, he discovered that the ferocious beast Taotie seemed to have a certain affinity for Yang Chan. Every time Yang Chan came to freeload a meal, it not only didn't get angry, but actually thoroughly enjoyed Yang Chan's praise for the dishes it made.

"Hmph, you bad dog!"

Yang Chan glanced at the Taotie on the ground, then looked at the Taotie and said happily, "Good sheep!"

She turned around and happily went to find her lunch buddy.

Yuquan Mountain is a tranquil place, and there is absolutely no precedent for cooking there.

Although she no longer had any appetite, she always felt something was missing if she didn't eat something, until her master brought this sheep chef with him.

"Wow, this is delicious! The stir-fried bamboo shoots are cooked to perfection."

Yang Chan's eyes sparkled as she squinted, looking utterly delighted: "A little too much and it'll look old, a little too little and it'll be too crisp. This is the best bamboo shoot I've ever eaten in my life."

Taotie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and say, "Little sister, you really know how to eat. Here, try this one. How does it taste? Is this really the best you've ever had?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Yang Chan reached out her chopsticks to pick up the food and praised it highly, saying, "Of course! Actually, I also want to become a master chef like you."

Taotie's eyes lit up and he coughed, "Really...really? You want to be a chef?"

"I dream about it."

Yang Chan smiled and said, "I can't let you suffer every time. I can also do it so we can exchange ideas."

Taotie chuckled incessantly and said, "It's a pity that Old Jade Cauldron forbids killing and eating meat on the mountain, otherwise I would have shown you the pinnacle of my culinary skills."

Taiyi watched this scene in silence for a moment: "This is truly... astonishing!"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a strange thing could exist in the world.

Yu Ding's lips curled slightly; Xiao Yang Chan's conquest of Taotie was already 98% complete...

At this moment, the Taotie, which had been stunned by the blow, slowly woke up. Seeing this scene, both it and Qiongqi sighed and shook their heads.

Taotie transmitted its voice, saying, "That Taotie is finished."

Qiongqi shook his head and sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk, poor Taotie, being played like a dog by a little girl."

Upon hearing this, Taotie suddenly turned its head, glared angrily, and growled.

Qiongqi said speechlessly, "I wasn't talking about you, so what's wrong with you? You're not really going to think of yourself as a dog later... meow?"

Suddenly, it covered its mouth in terror and froze, feeling as if it were being electrocuted, but then Yu Ding scratched its chin.

It wanted to resist, but Yu Ding's hand seemed to have a kind of magic that made it unable to extricate itself. Thinking of Yu Ding's powerful strength... it sighed, narrowed its eyes, raised its chin, and gradually revealed an expression of enjoyment.

Since we can't resist, let's just enjoy it!
"Pfft...hahaha..."

Upon seeing this, Taotie pointed at Qiongqi and burst into laughter, rolling around on the ground.

"Ding!"

Just as Taiyi was sighing, Baoyu, the young Taoist priest, suddenly made a sound. Looking down, he saw that "he" had been added to a group chat.

"Jade Void Palace... what four?"

Taiyi looked at the group name and then saw that there were only two people in it, named Jade Void Palace Number One and Number Two.

Number Two: Senior Brother Huanglong or Senior Brother Taiyi?
Number One: It's Senior Brother Taiyi!
Taiyi glanced at Yu Ding holding the doll beside him and instantly realized that number one was Yu Ding and number two was most likely Yun Zhongzi.

But what does that 4 mean?
Yu Ding's eyes flashed. The group was set up, and with that, the Yu Xu Palace F4 group officially debuted.

……

Kunlun Mountains.

Mysterious within mystery, emptiness within mystery, wondrous within wondrous method, infinitely wondrous.

The Five Elements Daoist arts are extraordinary; a gentle breeze reaches the Jade Palace.

As a gentle breeze swept across Qilin Cliff, Jiang Ziya arrived once again at the Jade Purity Sacred Realm.

This time, however, he no longer felt the nostalgia of returning to his old haunts. He jogged all the way to the Jade Void Palace, asked Kongxu to announce his arrival, and then met the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Yuanshi said, "The four beasts ridden by the four people, including the King of Nine Dragons Island, were born when all beasts paid homage to the heavens. They were all different, which is why dragons are born in nine different kinds and have different colors. Kongxu, go to the Peach Blossom Garden and fetch my mount and your junior brother."

Kongxu nodded in agreement. Indeed, for someone with Jiang Ziya's limited skills, traveling from Xiqi to Kunlun Mountain would be tantamount to taking his life.

He was just very curious... why would this master choose a strange creature as his mount?

"Uncle Master!"

The White Crane Boy whispered, "That Four-Faced Beast has a bad temper. You know it's the master's mount and is very proud. No one can touch it. When you go there, you must speak to it politely."

Empty, with a strange expression, nodded secretly: "I understand."

When he arrived at the peach orchard, he indeed saw a strange beast, as the saying goes:
With a scaly head and leopard tail, and a body like a dragon, its feet tread upon auspicious light to the ninth heaven;
I can roam freely across the four seas and nine provinces, and encounter the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks in an instant.

However, the strange creature looked at him with disdain.

Kongxu reached out to untie the rope, but the four-legged creature stepped on the rope with one paw, stared intently at him, and exhaled a column of air from its nostrils, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Hey, you really have a bad temper... Kongxu said with a forced smile, "Senior brother, Si Bu Xiang Senior Brother, Junior Brother Ziya is enfeoffing gods on behalf of the master. Now he is in trouble and has been ordered to go and help Junior Brother Ziya. You must not mess up the important matter."

The Four-Unlikes finally gave up, nodded slightly, and followed the Void to the Jade Void Palace.

When he returned, Jiang Ziya received two more treasures: the God-Slaying Whip and the Apricot Yellow Banner. He also said that he was ordered by his master to go to the North Sea.

At this moment, on the shore of Beihai.

Shen Gongbao rode his tiger and strolled over. Seeing the terrifying figure in front of him, he couldn't help but grin: "Ah, Dragon... Fellow Daoist Dragon Beard Tiger, please wait!"
