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

Chapter 83 My disciple, how many years have you been here?
Qingyun was also somewhat taken aback by the little girl's appetite.

In fact, the year after the brother and sister arrived, he had suggested to the master that they should plant some spirit rice or something in the mountains. The spirit peach trees produced so much, and he needed the Qi-Nourishing Pills...

However, the master seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem at the time.

Thank goodness, his Qi-Nourishing Pill is now secured...

"Alright, you stay here and keep watch, I'll go check it out."

Yu Ding rose gracefully and walked out of the cave, pondering carefully who could be Yang Chan's master.

First, we must exclude the other members of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

After all, Yang Chan is a young girl, and there are differences between men and women. It would be inconvenient for her to hang out with a bunch of grown men, and this should be taken into consideration.

In fact, as Yang Chan has grown up, it has become somewhat inconvenient for her.

However, there isn't a single female immortal among the Twelve Golden Immortals. Apart from them, the other immortals don't seem to be capable enough to be suitable.

As Yu Ding pondered, the images of three suitable candidates gradually became clear in his mind.

Sanxiao!

Firstly, Yu Ding trusted the character and conduct of the Three Immortals.

Secondly, the relationship between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect was already somewhat tense. Last time, they traveled a long way but gained nothing, so they still harbored some resentment.

Sending them a disciple could also be seen as a diplomatic move, greatly easing tensions between the two sides.

In that case, if the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation is unavoidable during the Great Tribulation of the Gods, it might also... cough cough!
Of course, this is just one of his current ideas.

Yang Chan is also a hot potato. The Three Immortals might not have been afraid of taking on disciples before, but sending one this time is suspected of being a scheme against them and the Jie Sect.

Perhaps we could try to find connections with our master.

Yu Ding pondered further, for she hadn't forgotten that Yang Chan would become the owner of the Lotus Lantern in the future, and that the Lotus Lantern had a very deep connection with the goddess Nuwa...

East China Sea, Three Immortal Islands.

The Three Immortals were meditating and refining their Qi in their celestial abode.

Bixiao opened her eyes and secretly glanced at her two older sisters beside her.

Then, his primordial spirit left his body and reached out into the cave.

"Where is Third Sister going?" A voice rang out from inside the cave.

Her primordial spirit suddenly flew back and entered through the Azure Heaven Gate. She opened her eyes and looked to the side, where she saw Qiongxiao looking at her with the same smile that had never changed in millennia.

Bixiao huffed, "Second sister, I still can't swallow this. Those two children have such good potential, especially the little brother. He has such a heroic air about him; he'll definitely be a great man in the future. I really want to touch him..."

"Cough cough, Third Sister!" Qiongxiao's face darkened, and she raised her hand to her mouth to cough.

Bixiao immediately said nonchalantly, "Hmm, feel his bone structure, he definitely has the potential to become a Golden Immortal in the future. Just handing them over to the Jade Void lineage like this... I feel terrible."

As she spoke, she clutched her proud chest, revealing a heartbroken expression.

Qiongxiao looked at her dramatic third sister and smiled, "As the saying goes, 'A bet is a bet,' and we made a deal beforehand. We can't go back on our word, can we?"

"I know!"

Bixiao said angrily, "But I still feel bad."

Qiongxiao: "..."

"Forget it, I'm going outside for some fresh air. I'll see if I can find a disciple with better aptitude to comfort me..." Bixiao walked out of the cave with a gloomy face.

Qiongxiao watched her retreating figure with a smile.

Her talent as a Golden Immortal was extremely rare, almost on par with those born from innate nature, possessing even better aptitude...

Please don't let him go to a brothel again!
"Big sister!" Qiongxiao turned her head to look at Yunxiao, who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.

She sat there serenely, her eyes never opening from beginning to end.

This time, after she spoke, there was no sound for a long time.

"Could it be that my eldest sister also..." Qiongxiao's squinty eyes suddenly opened.

"Hmm!" Yunxiao murmured softly.

Qiongxiao breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a headache, "My little sister has gone to wander around the mortal realm again."

“Okay!” Yunxiao said, then fell silent.

"Wouldn't it be nice to take a walk?"

Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao could only sigh helplessly.

Just then, a little girl rushed over: "Fairy, there's a problem at number thirty-six."

"Don't panic, let me go and take a look."

Qiongxiao narrowed his eyes again and smiled as he stood up, leading the girl out of the immortal mansion and heading towards another place.

Unlike her younger sister, she doesn't have as many frivolous habits.

Outside the pavilion, there was a barrier, within which were many courtyards of varying sizes, where spirit beasts of different sizes were kept.

"Fairy Maiden!" The girl guarding area number nine quickly bowed in greeting.

"How is number thirty-six doing?"

Qiongxiao came to the outside of a courtyard and asked, in which was a snow rabbit, all white, about the size of a dog.

He lay stiffly in the courtyard, foam at the corners of his mouth, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes wide open, emitting a nauseating stench.

The girl guarding her frowned silently, while Qiongxiao seemed not to smell anything at all.

"One incense stick's time after taking the medicine, he foamed at the mouth and experienced convulsions!"

"After two incense sticks had burned, he started screaming and yelling wildly." "After three incense sticks had burned, he collapsed and couldn't get up..."

"Dead?" Qiongxiao fell silent after examining the plant. "Such a potent poisonous herb; even my antidote was useless..."

After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and pointed, sending a rich life essence into the snow rabbit's body while simultaneously stripping away the medicinal effects.

Before long, the snow rabbit beast actually moved again, slowly opened its eyes, and showed a look of relief at being resurrected.

Was it this beautiful fairy who saved it?

It was originally a snow rabbit in the mountains. After cultivating for many years, it once saw a spiritual herb with abundant spiritual energy and ate it.

Unexpectedly, it was a highly poisonous plant that nearly killed it.

It was later rescued by a fairy, who fed it medicine, and it began to fight tenaciously against the poisonous plant despite the pain.

Later, he gradually lost consciousness.

Now that I've woken up, it's clear I was saved by this fairy.

Ah, what a beautiful and kind fairy! I, the Snow Rabbit, am not destined to die!

"Give it that grass again."

Qiongxiao smiled and instructed the girl beside her, "This time I'll take a look myself. This herb seems to be somewhat incompatible with one of Senior Brother Lü Yue's plagues!"

Lü Yue was also a Golden Immortal master of the Jie Sect, skilled in plague poisons, which made everyone in the Jie Sect wary of him.

In addition, this senior brother entered the sect very early, but he was arrogant and had a high opinion of himself. He looked down on ordinary disciples and was very dissatisfied with Duobao, the number one second-generation disciple of the Jie Sect.

Later, he simply left the sacred realm of Biyou Palace.

This is an extremely dangerous senior brother, so it is quite necessary to take some precautions.

Snow Rabbitmon: (ミД彡)
Looking at the gentle and beautiful fairy with squinting eyes in front of it... it suddenly felt a chill run down its spine.

……

Yu Ding arrived outside Jinxia Cave and saw the two siblings sitting on the edge of the cliff.

"Hey, Uncle Yuding!"

Yang Chan was the first to spot the jade cauldron. She ran over excitedly, looked up expectantly, and asked, "Is the Qi-Nourishing Pill ready?"

Yu Ding's lips twitched as he said, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

Three years have passed, and Yang Chan is almost six years old.

She's clearly destined for good looks, but right now she's still a little one with a bit of baby fat.

"Hurry up, I don't have many left."

Yang Chan shook her small bag, which made a jingling sound.

At least one-fifth...

Yu Ding's brows twitched again, which was quite inconsiderate of him. This girl had to be sent away.

Originally, Master Yuan Yuding had a large stockpile of spiritual herbs, which meant he had never had to worry about materials when he wanted to refine pills over the years.

Now... he sends Yang Jian and Qingyun to the mountains every day to cultivate good land and plant spiritual herbs and medicines.

"I know, I know."

Yu Ding chuckled and patted Yang Chan's head. "If you can eat this much... this little girl is still quite cute."

"Disciple meets Master!"

Yang Jian was gazing into the distance when he heard the sound and quickly stood up, clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

"No need for formalities!" Yu Ding said, walking to the edge of the cliff and gazing into the distance. "How have you been lately?"

Yang Jian paused for a moment, then said, "Much better."

Yu Ding turned back to the silent boy before him and sighed softly.

From the day Yang Jian went up the mountain, he was often awakened by nightmares at night.

Yu Ding asked Qing Yun to teach him the method of concentrating his mind and refining his qi first, so that he could make things a little easier for him.

Of course, at first he thought that perhaps when Yang Jian was a little older, he could explain the reasons.

Perhaps Yang Jian's hatred for the Heavenly Court would be less intense, but now Yu Ding has abandoned that idea.

Because he couldn't make Yang Jian let go, nor could he bring himself to say those words.

As the saying goes, "Don't advise others to be good if you haven't experienced their suffering." What happened to Yang Jian, if it happened to anyone else...

To be precise, while not all of them, at least 90% of people would make the same choice as Yang Jian.

He couldn't bring himself to tell Yang Jian to let go of his hatred.

Therefore, his later methods of calming the mind and regulating the breath were to make Yang Jian more relaxed, sleep more soundly, and ensure that he had sufficient energy for cultivation.

However, those rudimentary methods seemed to have little effect, and the nightmares still frequently plagued Yang Jian.

Having no other option, after the third year, Yu Ding had to sneak into his apprentice's room every few days.
Using magic, we can calm Yang Jian's mind and help him fall asleep peacefully, allowing him to replenish his energy and spirit.

Now that he sees Yang Jian in good spirits, he can start cultivating as well.

After completing his studies, how he proceeds is up to Yang Jian to choose.
The teacher's main responsibility is to impart knowledge and teachings; as for the quality of the disciples they ultimately teach... that depends on Yu Ding's personal abilities.

"Yang Jian, how many years have you been here?"

Yu Ding stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, and asked softly.
