Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 100 Li Jing's Happy Life

Chen Tang Pass!

Yang Jian immediately thought of Li Jing.

I wonder how Li Jing's relationship with his wife is now.

Is that green hat comfortable to wear?

He was just about to enter the city to see what it was like when a powerful pressure suddenly struck him, making him catch his breath.

In a daze, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

The Taoist priest held a whisk, wore a lotus crown, and was dressed in a Taoist robe with a Tai Chi diagram, with wide sleeves, silk ribbons, and hemp shoes.

"Who are you, and what brings you here? I have killed all the demons here. If you are here to slay demons, do not go to the wrong place."

The Taoist's voice was deep and resonant, and the heavens and earth seemed to echo his words.

It was astonishing that he had completely unleashed his cultivation level and used his power to intimidate others.

They wanted Yang Jian and the others to back down.

At this moment, the three people behind Yang Jian were on high alert, their faces flushed. This Taoist was extremely powerful and must be at least at the Golden Immortal realm.

They could only place their hopes on Yang Jian.

Given the favor shown to her by her master, the Holy Mother Jinling, she would surely bestow upon her a life-saving treasure.

Yang Jian's mind raced. He had already guessed that Nezha would be born in two years, and that Taiyi Zhenren would definitely protect him.

The person before me must be the Immortal Taiyi.

No wonder he was stopped as soon as he took his first step into the city.

Yang Jian bowed and said, "Yang Jian pays his respects to the Immortal Taiyi. General Li Jing of Chentang Pass is an old friend of mine. I am just passing by and would like to visit him to reminisce."

"Hmm? You must be Yang Jian. Is your sister named Yang Chan?"

Taiyi Zhenren suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked Yang Jian up and down.

"Indeed, senior, have you ever met my younger sister?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Yang Jian felt a surge of warmth in his heart and said with some excitement.

"Don't call me senior. I heard you've become a disciple of Fellow Daoist Jin Ling. Just call me Uncle-Master."

Taiyi Zhenren nodded: "That's right. I had the chance to meet that old fellow Yu Ding once when I went to drink with him before."

He turned to the other three: "So you are disciples of the Jie Sect. Yang Jian has come here to visit an old friend. And you?"

Before the three could answer.

Yang Jian explained, "We came from Jin'ao Island, intending to go to Chaoge to find Senior Brother Wen Zhong, but after entering the Southern Continent, we completely forgot the direction of Chaoge, so we thought of finding someone to ask for directions."

"So that's how it is."

Master Taiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing his aura and appearing as an ordinary Taoist.

It wasn't that he was making a mountain out of a molehill, but rather that of the four people in front of him, only Yang Jian looked like a normal human; the other three were all monstrous beings, each extremely ugly and unlike any kind of good person.

After learning that he was a disciple of the Jie Sect, he understood. Given the Jie Sect's unrestricted approach to accepting disciples, there were no standards or requirements for transformation.

The inhabitants of Jin'ao Island are all covered in fur and armor, born from wet eggs. To make them transform into human form is harder than climbing to heaven.

He casually pointed west: "That's Chaoge. It'll be there in ten or fifteen days. You three should hurry up and go."

Chen Jiugong, Yao Shaosi, and Hu Lei felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They bowed in unison and quickly flew away.

After the three left.

Taiyi Zhenren then looked at Yang Jian and casually asked, "How did you recognize me?"

He appeared casual in his questions, but in reality, he was already on high alert.

His hiding place in Chentang Pass was unknown to anyone in the Chan Sect except for the Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Yang Jian had never met him before, yet he knew his identity immediately.

This naturally aroused his vigilance.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian realized his mistake. In his nervousness, he had actually called out the name of Taiyi Zhenren.

However, he was not worried at all, because he could blame everything on the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit.

"After I became a disciple of my master, he considered that I would encounter various great gods when I traveled through the prehistoric world, so he introduced me to them one by one, which is why I was able to recognize my master."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren stroked his beard and said, "Is that so? Then how did your master introduce me?"

Yang Jian suddenly felt a headache coming on; Taiyi Zhenren's serious nature made him very uncomfortable.

"Given the temperament of the Golden Spirit Mother, she would definitely say that this Taiyi Zhenren is an ugly bastard."

The Demon Eye reminded him in his mind.

Yang Jian suddenly understood, based on the principles of the Golden Spirit Mother's classification.

Then all living beings in the world will only be divided into two types: those she can defeat and those she cannot.

Those who can't be defeated can only be divided into two types.

One type is handsome, and the other is ugly.

So what the Demon Eye said makes a lot of sense.

"Perhaps my uncle doesn't want to hear this~"

After Yang Jian finished speaking, he looked up at Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren's expression immediately froze.

He angrily flicked his whisk and turned to leave.

He only left a whisper in Yang Jian's ear: "Do not reveal the old Taoist's identity to Li Jing."

Yang Jian bowed with his hands clasped, indicating that he understood.

He had already told Li Jing that he had been cuckolded, and whether or not he mentioned Taiyi Zhenren's name, the result would be the same.

Even if Yang Jian hadn't told Li Jing when he was in Chaoge.

Li Jing himself will come to his senses after a few days.

Therefore, the root cause of the discord between Li Jing and his son Nezha lies here.

It's all because Master Taiyi doesn't understand human relationships.

Even if he had to wait a while, until Li Jing and his wife had consummated their marriage, before casting the spell to reincarnate the spirit pearl, it would be fine.

Yang Jian entered the city and asked for directions, thus learning the location of the General's Mansion.

Upon arriving at the gate, the gatekeeper announced their arrival.

He didn't have to wait long before he saw Li Jing's familiar figure coming to greet him.

However, when he bid farewell to Chaoge, Li Jing's appearance was noticeably much more weathered. His once full head of black hair was gone, and his temples were now white, and his eyes looked tired.

Clearly, these past few months have not been easy for him.

Upon seeing Yang Jian, he smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time: "Since our last parting in Chaoge, I never imagined we would meet again today. May I ask what brings you here, Lord Shu?"

Li Jing's words were full of the implication of keeping people at arm's length.

He used to call Yang Jian his junior brother, but now he calls him the Marquis of Shu. The difference is self-evident.

"When I left Chaoge, I went to Jin'ao Island to become a disciple. I just returned from Jin'ao Island and happened to pass by Chentang Pass. I thought that General Li's wife must be about to give birth, so I thought I would come and visit her."

As Yang Jian spoke, he subconsciously touched his nose.

Li Jing's face darkened instantly. Yang Jian was really rubbing salt in the wound: "Lord of Shu, you must be tired from your journey. Please come inside and let us talk."

He led Yang Jian straight into the main hall, then dismissed the servants and closed the door.

With a solemn expression, he said, "My two sons, one older and one younger, have both been taken away by immortals. Those two immortals are the renowned Manjushri and Cihang Daoren. Does Lord Shu know why?"

Li Jing clearly sensed something was amiss.

His two sons originally intended to go to Xikunlun to join the sect founded by his master, Master Du'e.

Who would have thought that no sooner had he made such a plan than a celestial being descended to take him as a disciple?

After making inquiries from various sources, he finally learned that the people who had accepted him as a disciple were the renowned Manjushri and Cihang Daoren, two of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Back in Chaoge, Yang Jian had warned him that the immortals had their eyes on his Li family.

Therefore, Li Jing wanted to ask the immortal what his plan was for his son.

"This is incredibly good news! Has General Li visited his ancestral graves?"

Li Jing asked in confusion, "I go every year during Qingming Festival, and nothing has changed."

"That must be because you didn't see the auspicious smoke rising from your ancestral grave."

Yang Jian kept laughing and gesturing to Li Jing not to talk nonsense.

The Immortal Taiyi is surely monitoring the entire Chentang Pass.

Some things are destined never to be said.

Li Jing understood Yang Jian's deeper meaning and suddenly clenched his fists.

Even though his cultivation and strength were extraordinary among mortals.

But in the presence of gods and immortals, they are still like ants.

A sense of powerlessness rose in my heart.

"Crunch~"

The sound of something squeezing through the crack in the door could be heard.

Yang Jian looked in the direction of the sound.

Then a beautiful woman with a large pregnant belly walked over.

"Is this the young man Yang Jian that you mentioned, sir? He is indeed handsome. If I had a younger sister, I would definitely introduce you to her."

The woman walked over with a smile.

Li Jing hurriedly went over to support her arm, scolding her gently, "Didn't we agree that you shouldn't run around while you're pregnant? It wouldn't be good if you disturbed the fetus."

After saying that, he introduced Yang Jian, "This is my wife, surnamed Yin, named Suzhi."

"I've already had my third child, I'm way more experienced than you."

Li Jing just chuckled awkwardly.

Yang Jian clasped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, sister-in-law."

After Yin San Niang arrived, she started talking non-stop. She didn't usually have many people to talk to at home, only Li Jing and the servants.

After the two children were taken away by the immortal, he became even more lonely and bored.

Therefore, Yang Jian's arrival made him quite happy.

Li Jing busied himself serving tea and water, but he didn't let his servants do these things.

It concerned his wife, and he could only feel at ease if she came in person.

Judging from Li Jing's expression, he clearly hadn't told Yin San Niang about the problems with her pregnancy.

He did not harbor any resentment towards Yin San Niang at this time.

She still fulfills her duty as a good husband.

Clearly, he was directing all his anger at the gods and immortals.

Yang Jian did not linger there, and Taiyi Zhenren's divine sense swept over him from time to time.

It always terrified him.

Li Jing and Yin San Niang, however, seemed oblivious to everything.

This was clearly a deliberate reminder from Taiyi Zhenren.

It also implies urging Yang Jian to leave as soon as possible.

After a few words.

Yang Jian then took his leave.

It releases white clouds and soars away on them.

"My lord, this Yang Jian is indeed extraordinary. Not only is he handsome, but his speech is also very pleasant. In addition, his cultivation is not low, so his future achievements are limitless."

Li Jing, brimming with jealousy, said sourly, "What's wrong? Are you falling for someone?"

The next moment, he let out a cry of "Ouch~" as Yin Sanniang grabbed his ear and dragged him into the room: "You're not allowed to sleep in separate rooms tonight."
