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

Chapter 48 I have a sword

However, Yu Ding quickly came to his senses and saw Shen Gongbao lower his head.

Yu Ding's heart stirred.

Although his IQ was mediocre, emotional intelligence is essential for salespeople. He realized that his surprise at the name had been misunderstood by Shen Gongbao.

He also knew that there were very few strange creatures in the Jade Void Palace.

Because his master disliked the rampant voices of those who were different, very few people dared to sign up.

In addition, Shen Gongbao also had a stutter...

Yu Ding could imagine that Shen Gongbao must have had a very difficult time in Yuxu Palace.

If I can help...

Yu Ding would never be stingy with his kindness.

After all, from a public perspective, this Junior Brother Shen is a key figure in the Investiture of the Gods; from a private perspective, he is currently lacking in merit, very lacking, lacking a great deal...

That despicable wicked disciple!
"What a wonderful name!"

Suddenly, Shen Gongbao shuddered and felt a hand land on his shoulder as the sound rang out.

Shen Gongbao looked up in a daze and saw Yu Ding's smile.

This smile is as warm as a spring breeze, capable of dispelling the gloom in people's hearts; like sunshine, it illuminates the soul.

However, a question still crossed Shen Gongbao's mind.

What's so clever about this name?

Yu Ding smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else just now and I was a little distracted, but it was definitely not because of you, so you don't need to feel inferior."

Shen Gongbao asked cautiously, "Really...really?"

It's time for a white lie again... Yu Ding nodded seriously and smiled, "Of course, don't you trust your senior brother?"

He seems like a scumbag. Ugh, what a sin.

Shen Gongbao quickly shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes brightening a little.

"Relax, don't feel pressured, and don't be nervous. You'll speak better that way."

Yu Ding said, "Remember, junior brother, your stutter isn't a big problem. Don't be ashamed, and don't be afraid to speak..."

Encouraged, Shen Gongbao nodded emphatically, deeply moved.

Although these disciples, like the Twelve Golden Immortals, are all called members of the Jade Void Sect, to be honest, they are fundamentally different groups from two different worlds.

They are in the sky, while they are on the ground.

Normally, only these people would look up at their twelve senior brothers to pay their respects, but among the twelve Golden Immortals, almost no one would lower their noble heads to glance at them or say anything.

but……

He never imagined that among the Twelve Golden Immortals there would be such an approachable and kind senior brother.

They stood up for him, encouraged him, and showed no disdain...

Being with this senior, he gradually stopped being nervous and his heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

Yu Ding glanced at the white crane boy and saw that the little devil was still there, carefully comprehending the truth.

So he smiled at Shen Gongbao and said, "Come on, take two deep breaths first, inhale and exhale. Okay, let's see how it goes. What's your name?"

Shen Gongbao was lost in thought when he heard this, and casually replied, "Shen Gongbao!"

After he finished speaking, both of them were stunned, and then an unbelievable look of surprise appeared on Shen Gongbao's face.

Yu Ding: "Are you done?"

Shen Gongbao asked in disbelief, "Am I alright?"

Yu Ding laughed and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Gongbao said, "Senior Brother Taiyi said that if we wait until he comes out, he will invite you to discuss the Dao with him."

Discussion of the Way...

Yu Ding nodded slightly: "Not bad, you're all better now."

Shen Gongbao said with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Yuding."

"You're welcome, you're welcome..."

Yu Ding waved his hand, "Sigh, it's just trying to earn a little bit of merit while doing good deeds."

That wretched disciple! I must cleanse this sect of evil...

At this moment, Baihe Tong'er said with a joyful expression, "I understand, Uncle Yuding, I've got it."

Yu Ding, with an air of superiority, nodded slightly with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you, White Crane Boy, have quite good comprehension!"

Baihe Tongzi smiled sheepishly and said, "Not at all, I'm far inferior to my martial uncle."

"Alright, I need to go visit your senior uncles, so I won't keep you company any longer. Feel free to come to your senior uncles if you have any questions in the future," Yu Ding said with a smile.

"Definitely!" The White Crane Boy's eyes shone brightly.

Yu Ding led Shen Gongbao down the steps toward the meeting place arranged by Taiyi.

Shen Gongbao whispered, "Senior brother, this is your private gathering, so I guess I won't go?"

"Why not go? Don't worry, your senior brother is here," Yu Ding said with a smile.

He turned his head and looked around. The air was filled with celestial energy, and there were many pavilions. Flocks of cranes flew across the sky, and mythical beasts lay on the cliffs. It was much larger than the university campus in his previous life.

To be honest, he... is a little blind!
If Yu Ding didn't find someone to guide him and had to find his way on his own, he would really think he was lost here.

Meanwhile, on a mountain cliff.

The place was shaded by pine and cypress trees, quiet and elegant, which is why Taiyi and the others, who planned to discuss the Dao, chose it as their venue.

By this time, Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, and others had learned the whole story of the conflict between Yuding and Manjushri.

Yu Ding still hadn't returned.

So they chatted for a while about their lives after they came down from the mountain.

But after we finished talking, Yu Ding still didn't come.

Because their lives consisted of nothing but deep contemplation and enlightenment, and even when they occasionally went down the mountain for a stroll, they would quickly return.

Unable to break through their current level, they had no interest in sightseeing and therefore nothing to say.

To put it simply,
This is a gathering of a group of older, introverted men.

Of course, they would occasionally come across some treasures and spiritual roots that they would bring back with them.

Hearing that everyone had picked up treasures, Huang Long sighed sourly, "You senior brothers are really lucky, unlike me, who's in a terrible situation. I went out with Yu Ding and..."

"Ahem!" Taiyi coughed.

The crowd's curiosity was piqued by the yellow dragon.

After all, it sounds like there's a story behind it.

But after being interrupted by Taiyi, everyone glanced at Taiyi Zhenren and asked, "Junior brother, why are you coughing?"

"No, it's okay!"

Taiyi chuckled dryly, "My throat suddenly feels a little dry."

The others shook their heads.

Chi Jingzi smiled and looked at Huanglong: "What else?"

When Huanglong Zhenren heard Taiyi cough, he knew that Taiyi had just misspoke. Now, he was feeling uneasy under the stares of everyone and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he pointed to the distance with delight: "Yu Ding is here."

As everyone looked over, they saw Yu Ding leading a reserved young man in black robes towards them.

They now knew the young man's background.

"Fellow senior brothers and junior brothers, I'm late." Yu Ding sat down directly.

Grand Master Lingbao glanced at Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao's expression tightened. He understood what was meant and knew that he had no right to speak here. He lowered his head and was about to leave.

"Junior Brother Shen, wait a moment."

Yu Ding quickly addressed the crowd, saying, "Senior Brother Lingbao, and fellow disciples, I hit it off with this junior brother at first sight. How about we let him listen in on our discussion of Dao today?"

Shen Gongbao's eyes were slightly red, but he didn't say anything.

He simply buried this feeling deep in his heart.

The group exchanged glances, and Chi Jingzi pondered for a moment before saying, "Since Junior Brother has spoken... well, let's just let him listen from the sidelines!"

Grand Master Lingbao glanced at Shen Gongbao with surprise, and then nodded slightly.

He was somewhat curious as to why this seemingly ordinary disciple would be favored by Yu Ding.

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed upon hearing this. How many of the Twelve Golden Immortals could listen to their discussion? Even if he couldn't comprehend the profound insights, remembering some of the more superficial ones would be more than enough for him.

"Let's begin!"

Chi Jingzi looked around at everyone and asked, "Which junior brother would like to go first?"

Taiyi said, "Then I'll go first. I'll ask my master: What is the so-called Great Dao?"
The Master replied: "The Great Dao is formless, nameless, inquisitive, and unresponsive. Its greatness has no bounds, its smallness has no limits. It cannot be known, nor can it be practiced!"

So that's what it is... Yu Ding nodded secretly, feeling ashamed when he recalled pointing randomly when Yuan Hong came to ask him questions.

But what left him speechless was not that, but that Yuan Hong had truly grasped something.

This left him quite helpless, indicating that his initial summary was indeed quite accurate.

In the path of cultivation, talent is paramount!
Everyone chimed in, sharing the questions they had asked after the Master's sermon, which served as a form of exchange.

Yu Ding still couldn't understand it, but he could remember it. However, listening to it like this made him a little sleepy.

Shen Gongbao, standing to the side, cherished this hard-won opportunity. He listened very attentively, sometimes frowning in deep thought, sometimes relaxing his brows, and listening with great interest.

A long time passed like this.

“Alright, let’s put the discussion on the Dao aside for now. Next, let’s discuss the Dharma. Does anyone have any suggestions?” Chi Jingzi asked.

Guang Chengzi pondered for a moment and said, "How about a sword duel?"

The methods practiced by the Twelve Golden Immortals were very diverse, and almost everyone had some knowledge of swordsmanship. However, when it came to the depth and refinement of their understanding of swordsmanship, Guang Chengzi and Yu Ding Zhenren, both Golden Immortal level sword immortals, far surpassed the others.

The jade tripod is even purer, as can be seen from the fact that the treasure of the mountain is a sword.

"Good!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chi Jingzi looked at Yu Ding and smiled, "Senior Brother Guangcheng and Junior Brother Yu Ding's understanding of the sword is far beyond our reach. What do you say, Junior Brother?"

kendo……

Yu Ding pondered for a moment, then looked at the finger where the mark was located, raising an eyebrow slightly: "I have a sword called the Six Meridians Divine Sword."
