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

Chapter 539 How many disciples does Immortal Jade Cauldron have?
Commercial operation.

Wen Zhong won his first battle, defeating Xiqi and routing the Zhou army, a truly great victory.

The eight generals, including the Mo brothers, Deng Xin, Zhang Tao, and others, offered their congratulations, but Wen Zhong sat at the head of the table, seemingly lost in thought, with little joy on his face.

The generals exchanged glances and tried to comfort each other.

But Fei Zhong smiled obsequiously and said, "Grand Tutor, you have already dealt a heavy blow to the elite troops of Xiqi in the first battle. It is only a matter of time before the rebels are wiped out."

You Hun laughed heartily: "Exactly, exactly! With the Grand Tutor on the field, we are invincible. Little Xiqi is laughable."

The eight generals were furious at the two sycophants, for these two bastards were using words they had already prepared.

Moreover, most of them were uncouth men with very limited eloquence, but these two bastards were silver-tongued and had a much larger vocabulary than them.

How could I have forgotten about these two... Wen Zhong glanced at the two guys and gave a nonchalant "hmm".

He originally brought these two treacherous officials along with him, intending to behead them as a sacrifice to the flag before the battle.

Xin Huan said, "We have won a great victory over Xiqi this time. All the generals of Zhou are injured, and Jiang Ziya should have been killed by the Grand Tutor. Why is the Grand Tutor frowning?"

Wen Zhong pondered and said, "I'm wondering who the young man who rescued the Yu Xu disciples was. His cultivation is probably no less than mine. With such an extraordinary person, it won't be easy to take down Xiqi."

The generals' expressions tightened slightly upon hearing this.

Indeed, if it weren't for that young man who suddenly appeared, many of the Jade Void disciples would have been killed or injured this time.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out. Before anyone could be seen, the voice was heard. Then, a flash of light appeared inside the tent, and a figure dressed in a gray Bagua Daoist robe appeared: "Fellow Daoist Wen... it's been a long time."

Originally, since he had joined the Tongtian Sect, Wen Zhong should have called him his senior uncle.

However, since he joined the group halfway through his career, he shouldn't put on too high a pedestal.

"who?"

The four demon generals and others were taken aback and drew their swords to seize the attacker.

"stop!"

Wen Zhong stopped the crowd and looked at the newcomer, saying, "This is Shen Gongbao, the Grand Preceptor of our Great Shang Dynasty. Do not be rude. Step back!"

The generals looked at the Taoist priest with surprise before bowing and apologizing.

Shen Gongbao laughed and said, "That...that kid's background, I...I know."

"Fellow Daoist Shen knows?"

Wen Zhong raised an eyebrow: "Speak quickly."

Shen Gongbao stroked his mustache and smiled, "He... he is the disciple of Jade Cauldron Immortal, named Ao Bing."

"Another disciple of Master Yuding?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong stood up in surprise, his expression astonished: "Just how many disciples does Master Yu Ding have?"

This scene left all the generals completely bewildered.

Yes, that young man is quite capable, but the Grand Tutor has seen all sorts of storms in his life of military service, so why would he react like this?

Shen Gongbao said, "Yang... Yang Jian, Long Ji, and Ao Bing, aren't there only these three? What, are there others?"

Wen Zhong glanced at Shen Gongbao, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying to him, he sat back down in his chair, his expression uncertain as he pondered.

After a moment, he said, "Everyone, please step back. I have something to discuss with the Imperial Advisor."

"Yes!" The crowd bowed and withdrew.

Shen Gongbao glanced at the crowd and Wen Zhong, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, he was startled, as if he had thought of something: "Don't tell me that Master Yu Ding has other disciples."

Wen Zhong shook his head: "You know what, there really are, and there are two... Why are you looking at me like that?"

He suddenly noticed that Shen Gongbao was staring straight at him.

Shen Gongbao stared at Wen Zhong: "How did you know?"

Before Wen Zhong could explain, Shen Gongbao continued fiercely, "This... I don't even know about these things, how do you know?"

“I’ve seen it before!” Wen Zhong said matter-of-factly.

Shen Gongbao: "...You've seen him before?"

Wen Zhong then recalled that when he went to conquer the North Sea and encountered trouble, Yu Ding sent two disciples to help him quell the rebellion.

"Mr. Bai...Mr. Chi?"

Shen Gongbao frowned: "But I haven't heard anything about it. What other information do they have? Tell me quickly..."

He tried hard to recall the scenes of his meetings with Yu Ding over the years, but he could not find the two disciples anywhere.

However, in recent years I have been traveling around and have rarely seen Senior Brother Yu Ding. Could it be that this is the time?

Wen Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, those two gentlemen were from the Wu tribe. Back then, they helped me subdue the great calamity of the North Sea, and later they fought a great battle with the demon god, the outcome of which is unknown..."

"The Witch... Clan? I understand."

Shen Gongbao's eyes lit up and he excitedly slammed his right fist into his left palm: "The Three Pure Ones don't like those brutes with strong limbs and simple minds like the Wu Clan. Yu Ding secretly took in Wu Clan disciples, so naturally he had to hide it and not let anyone know. That must be it."

No wonder Senior Brother Yu Ding kept this from him.

That makes sense!

It all made sense.

But his letter of recommendation was written in my front-line command tent, there was no hiding it... Wen Zhong looked at the excited Shen Gongbao, wondering if he was so happy to have deduced such a small thing.

Shen Gongbao asked, "Then...and then?"

Wen Zhong pondered and said, "Those two gentlemen were targeted by a powerful demon god and fought a great battle. Since I couldn't help them, I went to Jade Spring Mountain to ask Immortal Jade Cauldron for help. The immortal said that he would handle the matter and told me not to worry about it and to hurry back to deal with the battlefield."

Shen Gongbao frowned and said, "Is it...is it over?"

Wen Zhong's expression suddenly turned serious: "But later I heard that a shocking event had occurred, and it is very likely related to those two disciples of the Jade Cauldron Immortal."

Shen Gongbao asked curiously, "Wh...what is it?"

Wen Zhong said with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you have been traveling around all these years. Have you heard that a few years ago, the Wu Clan invaded Beiju Luzhou and caused great trouble to the remnants of the Demon Court? The ancient war between the Wu and the Demon almost happened again?"

Shen Gongbao suddenly froze, his expression revealing astonishment, shock, and lingering fear... it was quite a sight.

Wen Zhong, serving as an official in the imperial court, naturally didn't have much free time, but what he had heard over the years from his travels was far more than what Wen Zhong knew.

He heard that the two young witches were the ones who caused the great disturbance in the Demon Court.

At that time, even a demon saint tried to kill the two witch clans, because this would be tantamount to erasing the future of the witch clans. As a result, the ancient great witch was born to confront the demon saint, and a new war between witches and demons was about to break out.

But later, someone persuaded him to stop.

When he heard about this, he, who always loved a good show, was filled with regret and cursed those meddlesome people for ruining the entertainment.

But who would have thought that the gossip would end up on their own heads? If a real fight breaks out, wouldn't their two nephews be killed?
Upon seeing Shen Gongbao's reaction, Wen Zhong immediately had a strong guess in mind and said with a wry smile, "If that's the case, then Immortal Yu Ding has five disciples. Ha, there's one who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and another who caused havoc in the Demon Court's remnants... If they met together, I don't even dare to imagine what they wouldn't dare to do."

Shen Gongbao instinctively replied, "None of your business?"

Wen Zhong coughed lightly: "How many disciples does Immortal Jade Cauldron have? There aren't any more outside, are there?"

Shen Gongbao said decisively, "No, that's all. I was on good terms with him when I was at Yuxu Palace. He never hid anything from me. I've already explained the situation to you regarding those two witch clans." That reason might only convince yourself... Wen Zhong sighed, "Immortal Yuding helped me a lot back then. If I could, I truly wouldn't want to be enemies with Immortal Yuding's lineage!"

Wen Zhong was not one to forget kindness; the two disciples sent by Master Yu Ding last time had helped him a great deal, and he had to repay that favor.

However, now he wants to protect the Shang dynasty, while Jiang Ziya and the third-generation disciples of Yuxu want to support the Zhou dynasty, which to some extent indicates the intentions of the Chan sect.

Secondly, there's another reason... that everyone from the Yu Ding lineage is a pervert.

Yang Jian, Long Ji, Xiao Bai, A Zheng, and now Ao Bing, all either follow the path of physical immortality or are of the Wu clan bloodline, born for war and never ceasing until death...

He felt that physical strength was becoming a tradition in the Yu Ding lineage, and he had never seen anything so outrageous elsewhere.

This is too difficult!

Shen Gongbao said, "This...this is quite simple."

Wen Zhong: "Oh?"

Shen Gongbao laughed and said, "If you... if you accidentally catch Yu Ding's disciples, hehe, spare their lives, and that will repay the favor."

Fortunately, since Senior Brother Yu Ding had done so many favors in the past, his words now don't seem abrupt and won't arouse suspicion.

Wen Zhong nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright...alright, I've been keeping an eye on something lately, and in a few days I'll...send you a great general," Shen Gongbao said with a smile.

Wen Zhong asked, "What general?"

Shen Gongbao smiled mysteriously: "Heavenly secrets... cannot be revealed. Just wait and see."

After saying this, he gracefully left the main tent.

I must say, he gained a lot from this intelligence exchange with Wen Zhong.

Five disciples, and the key is that each of them is now more capable than his senior uncle... Shen Gongbao laughed out loud. He didn't have the complicated feeling of the younger generation being swept away by the older generation; he was just genuinely happy.

……

Xiqi, the Prime Minister's Residence.

"Hey, Dragon Beard Tiger, where are you going!"

"Tianhua, I'll go find them and ask for...Tianhua?"

Huang Tianhua bumped into Long Xuhu and casually greeted him. However, as soon as the two passed each other, Long Xuhu suddenly froze, turned his head, and looked at Huang Tianhua, who was walking away with a dragon-like gait, with a look of surprise.

After all, Huang Tianhua was almost electrocuted and suffered extensive burns all over his body, but he was able to get out of bed perfectly fine in just a short time.

Ao Bing and the others had just sold Longxuhu, and now they felt very guilty seeing him arrive.

Longxuhu walked over and exclaimed in amazement, "Senior Brother Tianhua has really come back to life!"

Nezha said, "Lei Zhenzi saved him, and Uncle Qingxu's life-saving elixir cured him."

"There really is a miraculous pill..." Long Xuhu's heart stirred and he smiled, "So that's how it is. Fellow disciples, Master asked me to ask you for a miraculous pill to heal his injuries."

"A miraculous elixir? To heal injuries?"

After a moment of surprise, everyone turned to look at Nezha.

Nezha was speechless: "Why are you looking at me like that? You've known me for so long, you know me well. My master gave me treasures, but he never gave me any elixirs or magic pills."

After a moment's thought, everyone glanced at Jinzha and Muzha.

Jinzha said, "Don't look at me. When I went down the mountain, my master only gave me a magic weapon and a sword."

Mu Zha said, "All my possessions are these two Wu Hook Swords on my back."

After a moment's hesitation, everyone glanced at Han Dulong and Xue Ehu.

The two men became anxious: "Fellow disciples, you all have some magical treasures, but our master didn't give us anything when we left the mountain."

The crowd looked at the two with sympathy and immediately believed what they said.

There was no other reason than that these two were of low cultivation level, and were considered the least skilled among them.

However, once they arrive in the mortal realm, they are capable of fighting against top-tier generals.

Finally, everyone looked at Ao Bing.

"No, why are you looking at me? Don't you know whether I'm alive or not?"

Ao Bing looked completely bewildered: "When you all came down the mountain, your uncles and aunts gave you magic weapons to some extent. But there are too many brothers in our lineage. How could I possibly get Master's magic weapons? Honestly, I don't know what you guys are thinking."

Upon hearing this, Han Dulong and Xue Ehu immediately echoed their sentiments, saying, "We never expected that Senior Brother Ao Bing would also..."

But as they were talking, they suddenly realized they shouldn't have said that and quickly shut up.

Nezha couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't pity him. Yes, his uncle didn't give him anything, but it's not because he has too many fellow disciples. It's because this guy's family is very wealthy and he lacks nothing."

These two idiots actually believed Ao Bing's nonsense and started to sympathize with the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

However, apart from being Yu Ding's disciple, Ao Bing's other identity as the Crown Prince of the East Sea was indeed never revealed to everyone.

Han Dulong and Xue Ehu looked at Ao Bing in surprise.

Ao Bing glared and said, "Giving and having are two different things. Giving is an attitude, having is mine, understand?"

Nezha picked his nose and urged, "Go tell Uncle Yu Ding what you're saying. Tell him you don't actually want it, you just want to see his attitude."

Ao Bing: "...Why should you worry about this?"

"So none of you have any?"

Longxuhu remained silent until the end, then asked, "What about Master's injuries?"

Nezha looked at Ao Bing: "If you don't want to, go back to your home and get it?"

Ao Bing shook his head: "It will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and there is a large army pressing in from outside. As for bone injuries... never mind, I'll go get two ointments for my uncle to apply. They'll definitely work. Just wait."

He turned and left, entering his room and closing the door behind him, much to everyone's surprise.

"When did he learn to make medicine?"

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. First there was Lei Zhenzi's electroshock therapy, then Nezha's water-based pill application method, and now Ao Bing had gone off to make some kind of ointment.

Are all the doctors here miracle workers?
Huang Tianhua walked toward Jiang Ziya's room. As he approached, he heard a low groan coming from inside the house, but the sound disappeared as soon as he got close.

He knocked tentatively on the door: "Uncle-Master, are you there?"

"Tianhua?" Jiang Ziya's surprised voice came from behind him. "You...are you alright?"

Huang Tianhua laughed and said, "Lei Zhenzi saved my life, and my master sent someone to deliver a elixir that healed my injuries. I am now completely healed."

Jiang Ziya: "...What is it?"

The dead are alive and kicking, while the injured are still in pain. What kind of logic is that?
Huang Tianhua said, "Disciple would like to ask when we will leave the city to fight again... Uncle, please rest assured, Master has already passed on to me the treasure to defeat the enemy, and Nezha and the others are also ready."

"Go to war...you can go yourselves!"

Jiang Ziya managed to bring back the national treasure that was about to be exported, thus preserving his merits for today.

If you get injured, someone will give you elixirs and medicines; if you die, you will be resurrected. So, can you please consider how your uncle feels?
