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

Chapter 523 Lu Ya Leaves the Mountain
"An explanation of a celestial book? What a strange name..."

Huang Long muttered something and took the two items, examining them closely. His attention then fell first on the yellow jade doll.

Lei Zhenzi said, "Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master Yu Ding said that you must read the Heavenly Book first before you can study this doll."

Huang Long waved his hand and said, "It's not too late to study it first."

Lei Zhenzi suddenly chuckled.

Huang Long said, "What are you laughing at, kid?"

Lei Zhenzi laughed and said, "If Uncle Yu Ding asked me, Uncle Huang Long would definitely answer me like this, asking me if I believe it or not."

"eventful!"

Huang Long's smile gradually faded. He snorted softly, put the two items into his sleeve, and looked at Lei Zhenzi with concern, saying, "Child, why do you look like this? Have you encountered a problem in your cultivation?"

Lei Zhenzi wore a half-mask, covering the lower half of his face and protruding fangs, but with his blue face, red hair, and hooked nose, he still looked somewhat strange.

Lei Zhenzi felt a warmth in his heart and shook his head, saying, "No, Uncle-Master, it was because I accidentally ate two immortal apricots from one of Master's spiritual roots that I grew wind and thunder wings and became like this, but I also gained this supernatural power."

Huang Long pondered and said, "Perhaps your cultivation level was too low at that time and your body could not withstand the power of the Immortal Apricot, causing your body to undergo a strange change... By the way, when did Yu Ding go to Zhongnan Mountain?"

"It's been many years. My master carried me back to Zhongnan Mountain and my senior uncle was already there. Oh dear, it's getting late."

Lei Zhenzi said, "The disciples of my four senior uncles, Yu Ding, Tai Yi, Wen Shu, and Pu Xian, have all gone down the mountain to assist Zhou. My master told me to go back as soon as possible to practice martial arts and that I should also go down the mountain in a few days. I must go back now, senior uncles. This disciple bids farewell!"

"Go!"

Huang Long nodded slightly, and Lei Zhenzi squatted down, flapped his wings, and instantly a gust of wind and dust rose up. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the dark clouds in the blink of an eye.

"Xiqi..."

Huang Long sighed, “Yun Zhongzi’s disciple walks the path of thunder, Taiyi’s disciple Nezha cultivates the path of fire, Yu Ding’s disciple has profound skills and transformations, and there are other disciples… The younger generation is surpassing the older generation, and now it has become the world of young people.”

"Other people's disciples are all so outstanding, and the master-disciple relationship is so warm. I'm the only one coming and going, and the dojo is so cold and deserted..."

Huang Long fell silent. He couldn't help but begin to doubt whether his decision and insistence on refusing to accept apprentices all these years had been wrong.

He stood there, lost in thought, for a long time.

As Lei Zhenzi departed, the dark clouds that had obscured the sky dispersed, and the golden sunlight shone upon him.

Boo!
Suddenly, a crane's cry rang out. Huang Long snapped back to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound. A bald crane with only one feather left on its head was slowly strolling around.

"Oh, and there's you, my old buddy. I can't just see the benefits!"

Huang Long smiled and turned to stroll into the cave, saying, "Last time, the trouble caused by Taiyi, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra's disciples not only bankrupted them, but they also had to refine pills and treasures to pay off their debts. Tsk tsk, so miserable. Only Old Yu Ding was lucky enough to have taken in a wealthy disciple."

He returned to his cave and opened the jade book: "You, Yu Ding, are quite good at guessing, aren't you? You said I would study it first before reading it. Humph, then I'll just read it first."

As he returned, the bald-headed crane wandered into the mountains.

Although it only has one hair on its head, it stands tall and proud, like a king surveying his territory.

In the mountains and forests, whether they were ferocious beasts like wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards, or auspicious creatures like cranes and monkeys, they all lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"The new generation of products..."

After Huanglong read through the instruction manual, he was overjoyed when he looked at the jade doll again. He immediately separated a part of his primordial spirit and refined it into the doll, thus completing its activation.

Almost as soon as he activated it, he heard a "ding" and was pulled into the Jade Void F4 group chat, where he saw that there were already three people in it: Cloud Water Zen Heart, Tai 2 True Man, and Gold Medal Lecturer.

Huang Long stared at the three names for a moment, then sneered, "Yun Zhongzi, Taiyi, and Yuding are playing this trick again."

Having experienced the early messaging scrolls that resembled group chats, he was already very familiar with the use of aliases, but he despised it.

The Jade Void Immortal never changes his name or surname, and besides, among those few people, who doesn't know who?

Although they used aliases, he could recognize several of them at a glance.

Yunshui Chanxin: Brother Huanglong has arrived, so the four of us are now all together. From now on, we can discuss anything here as soon as possible.

Gold Medal Instructor: Available
Tai 2 Zhenren: Good
Huanglong Zhenren: Good
……

Yuquan Mountain, Jinxia Cave.

Yu Ding smiled when he saw Huang Long's name; this guy just doesn't fit in.

He went to great lengths to persuade Taiyi to use the nickname "Tai 2 Zhenren".

He looked at the small light screen projected by the young Taoist priest. In addition to the 'Jade Void F4', there was also a group called 'Biyou Family'.

Compared to the quiet atmosphere of the Jade Void F4, the Biyou family is much more lively, and lurking and spying on the screen has become his daily routine.

After all, Taiyi is with him while his clone is with Yun Zhongzi. Apart from Huanglong, he can communicate directly with the two of them about anything.

The Biyou family is different. Although there are only five members in the group, two of whom are him, there are still three female members.

Three women make a drama, and this group never gets dull.

Bixiao: Hello! Hello! Hello... Tianxu, when will your next batch of communicators come out?
This is Bixiao's daily urging for updates.

Tianxu: Almost there! Almost there!
Yu Ding curled his lip. How could he possibly produce this thing in large quantities?

Putting aside his intellectual property rights, the sheer amount of work involved in providing each member of the Jie Sect with one of these devices is staggering, given that the Jie Sect disciples are countless throughout the prehistoric world and the three thousand worlds.

The phrase "Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage" does not simply mean that the Jie Sect only has ten thousand powerful cultivators who have reached the realm of immortals. Rather, it refers to the immortals who are qualified to make a pilgrimage to Jin'ao Island.

Just imagine how terrifying it would be if such a group were created?
When the time comes, if the Chan Sect kills someone, someone will raise their arms and call out, and tens of thousands of people in the group will immediately respond and rush over from all over the world.

With such a grand display, let alone the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void, I'm afraid anyone except a sage would be apprehensive!

Bixiao: It's always "almost there" again. Every time I urge you, you say it's almost there. Can you give me a definite answer? If it's really impossible, get three sets for Caiyun, Shiji, and Hanzhi first. Let Jinling and Guiling have a break for now.

Yunxiao: Third Sister, you are not allowed to be rude to your junior brother.

After a moment's thought, Yu Ding signaled to Tian Xu to agree.

Tianxu: Sure, Senior Sister, I'll bring it to you in a few days.

Bixiao: That's more like it.
The group chat fell silent again. Yu Ding's eyes flashed. According to the information he had gathered while lurking, Yunxiao had placed Bixiao, this unruly rabbit, under house arrest since the beginning of the great calamity.

Bixiao was forbidden from coming to the mortal world to fool around again, so she reconnected with her girlfriends.

Zhao Gongming also listened to his Uncle Tongtian's advice and began to meditate in his cave. He would occasionally chat with him, and for the time being, there were no problems.

He had nothing to worry about regarding Xiqi, and in fact, he really shouldn't have to worry about it, since he and his fellow disciples were mostly focused on that area.

What truly kept him on guard was... Lu Ya of Kunlun Mountain!

Now we can only hope that Taixu can discover something.

……

Xiqi, the Prime Minister's Residence.

After Zhang Guifang's entire army was wiped out, Xiqi ushered in a long-awaited period of peace.

After all, the journey is long, and even if a new army were to conquer it, it would definitely not be that quick.

Nezha and his brothers are all restless types. They don't know how to train soldiers, so when they have nothing to do, they can only practice their martial arts.

Jinzha glanced at Ao Bing's door and said, "That's strange. Why hasn't Ao Bing come out these days? I was thinking of having another chat with him."

Nezha laughed and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Jinzha leaned against a tree in the courtyard and said, "I don't know why, but when I first saw him, I felt that his expression and eyes were very familiar to me, as if I had seen him somewhere before, so I wanted to chat with him."

Nezha chuckled guiltily, "Really...really? How could we be familiar? I haven't noticed it for so long."

"Have!"

Muzha immediately replied, "What you said reminds me. I saw him have the same feeling that day."

Jinzha asked in surprise, "Second brother, you have one too?"

Mu Zha nodded and said, "I've been thinking about where I've seen him these past few days, but it's strange, no one matches."

Nezha: "..."

Are these two older brothers so perceptive?
Jinzha pondered, "We haven't lived in many places, except for Chentang Pass and the mountains. Only Master and we live on the mountains, so we must be from the foot of the mountain. Come on, second brother, let's check each other, it shouldn't be hard to find."

Nezha's lips twitched: "Isn't that necessary?"

Mu Zha's eyes lit up: "Great idea! If we eliminate everyone else, the one left must be him."

Nezha said guiltily, "Second brother..."

He wanted to stop them from going astray, but Jinzha and Muzha had already gone back to their rooms to check their answers, so he had no choice but to quickly slip into Ao Bing's room.

Just as Jinzha and Muzha said, they had only lived in limited places, except for Chentang Pass and the mountains, and had not seen many people. After a while, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"No one? How could that be? Not a single person fits the bill." Mu Zha asked in surprise.

“No, second brother, you forgot, there’s another place…” Jinzha said, slowly looking up at the sky.

Mu Zha followed the gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Brother, you mean... one of Water Zha or Earth Zha?"

Jinzha laughed and said, "Didn't you notice someone's missing? I already know who it is."

Mu Zha glanced at the room, thought for a moment, and then smiled: "I know who it is now. No wonder this kid tried to lead us astray. But we can't expose this, or it will cause trouble for our uncle and this brother. Our Li family doesn't do things like repaying kindness with enmity."

Jinzha chuckled and said, "Brother, we think alike!"

The two brothers chuckled.

On the other side, Ao Bing sighed deeply after hearing Nezha's words.

"What should we do?" Nezha asked.

Ao Bing also said with a headache, "I've been trying my best to avoid them, how come your two older brothers are... so clever!"

Nezha said proudly, "It's nothing special. My dad told me that I had a master who taught them for a few years, but he didn't teach them magic. I don't know if he taught them these things."

Just then, Jinzha and Muzha arrived in the courtyard.

Jinzha laughed and said, "Oh, so it's the person we met when we went out with Master before. Why did you go to all this trouble?"

Mu Zha said, "Practice your skills! Practice your skills!"

Then the two of them started practicing again in the courtyard.

Nezha laughed and said, "Hehe, these two idiots are talking so seriously, they really gave me a fright."

Ao Bing glanced at the two people in the courtyard, then looked at Nezha and shook his head. Jinzha's voice was three points louder than normal just now.

He laughed too. After eating milk and salt for a few more years, things are definitely different!
……

West Kunlun.

Beside a small river.

"Fellow Daoist has returned?"

Taixu, who was fishing, greeted him warmly. The newcomer was none other than Lu Ya, dressed in gray.

Lu Ya nodded indifferently and returned to his courtyard.

Taixu withdrew his gaze and continued fishing. He had known Lu Ya for quite some time, but the guy always had this icy face whenever they met, and he had no desire to communicate with him.

He also noticed that Lu Ya would go out for a while every few days, and then go out again not long after.

"Ok?"

Just then, Lu Ya suddenly left his courtyard again. Before leaving, he made a hand seal and pointed a finger, and the flames instantly engulfed the courtyard.

This guy isn't coming back... Taixu watched Lu Ya leave on a cloud and felt a thought. Was he involved?
