Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 96 Fellow Daoist! Please wait!

High above the heavens, beneath the starry sky.

Taibai Xingjun rode a white cloud, and beside him were Shen Gongbao and his pet black tiger.

"The Star Lord's ability to ride the clouds is probably rare in the primordial world."

Shen Gongbao blatantly flattered him, shamelessly so.

There was nothing he could do; he had fallen into Wen Zhong's hands, and he thought he was finished.

He was never well-liked by his fellow disciples in the Jade Void Palace, so no one would come to his rescue.

Jiang Shang, the only one with whom he had a relatively good relationship, was of mediocre cultivation and couldn't even reach the threshold of becoming an immortal.

Just when he was in despair, he was rescued by Taibai Xingjun.

Even if the two had worked together before, it's probably difficult to repay this favor.

Taibai Xingjun nodded perfunctorily, his mind constantly reviewing every aspect of the plan.

He paid a price to redeem Shen Gongbao and the black tiger from Wen Zhong.

That comes at a hefty price.

The Heavenly Court behind Emperor Xin was the West Sea Dragon Palace, one of the Four Seas Dragon Palaces.

It was not something he could easily control, and the price he paid was that the Heavenly Emperor Haotian personally issued an edict ordering the West Sea Dragon Palace to reclaim its power in Chaoge.

This is extremely cost-effective for the Heavenly Court.

The Four Dragon Kings were, in essence, only nominally allied with the Heavenly Court.

They joined the Heavenly Court simply to have a public identity to facilitate their actions.

Therefore, this condition only slightly damaged the face of the Heavenly Emperor Haotian for the Heavenly Court.

But it could potentially gain the assistance of both the Chan and Jie sects, so why not?

Once they had flown away from Jambudvipa, the person who had been pursuing them had vanished without a trace.

It seems they've already given up.

He looked at Shen Gongbao and said, "You may go to Jinxia Cave on your own. This old Taoist will not accompany you."

Shen Gongbao bowed in farewell: "You can rest assured, Star Lord, that I can handle things properly. After all, this isn't the first time we've worked together. I will definitely get it done for you, Star Lord. It's just a matter of time..."

A slight smirk played on his lips.

Taibai Xingjun has already informed Yang Jian and Yang Chan that they are the nephew and niece of the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, and that they hold great importance in Haotian's heart.

Shen Gongbao was worried that Yang Jian would settle scores with him in the future.

Hopefully, Taibai Jinxingjun (the God of Venus) will step in to protect him.

He is now unpopular everywhere, and the Antarctic Immortal is always looking for trouble with him. Only the Heavenly Court can provide him with a place to stay.

If Yang Jian were to also enter the Heavenly Court, he would inevitably face retribution later.

Taibai Xingjun nodded: "Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, this old Daoist will certainly protect you."

After saying that, he casually flicked two gleaming weapons out of his sleeve.

"Seeing that you have nothing of value, these two precious swords are treasures bestowed by the Tushita Palace as a reward for your service this time. Now you may go."

Shen Gongbao took the treasures, his eyes instantly lighting up with excitement. The two swords possessed extraordinary auras, each being a top-grade spiritual treasure, hundreds of times stronger than the swords he had previously held.

He was moved to tears and was about to thank them again.

Taibai Xingjun waved his hand to stop him: "Don't thank me, old Daoist. Once this matter is settled, I will take you to the Lingxiao Palace to meet the Heavenly Emperor. You can thank me then."

Shen Gongbao rode away on a black tiger.

They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Venus looked eastward.

That's the location of Peach Mountain.

Yao Ji should have already been suppressed here by the Heavenly Emperor.

Everything is ready; all that's needed is the east wind.

Yuquan Mountain, Jinxia Cave.

Yang Chan was happily munching on the bear paw in front of her.

She was still unable to abstain from grains, so she naturally needed some food to fill her stomach.

In front of her, Master Yuding was tending to the fire, on which sat three bear paws, emitting an enticing aroma.

Yu Ding Zhenren was also willing to go all out. This dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal learned to cook like a mortal.

In order to help Yang Chan better enter the Dao.

The monsters that originally lived on Jade Spring Mountain suddenly suffered.

One by one, they became missing limbs.

Master Yu Ding was a reasonable man. He took away the bear demon's four claws, but also left it with immortal elixirs.

It can not only help heal his injuries, but it can even go further.

The blood and spiritual energy contained in the bear paws may be even richer at that time.

After Yang Chan consumes it, the benefits to her body will only increase.

This is a win-win solution.

"Awoo~"

The tiger roars in the mountains and forests, its ferocious power spreading far and wide.

A dark figure suddenly descended.

The smell of blood filled the air.

The dark figure was none other than Black Tiger.

Shen Gongbao dismounted from the black tiger, a smile spreading across his face, and flew over.

Upon smelling the repulsive stench of blood emanating from Black Tiger, Yang Chan immediately lost her appetite for the bear paw and began to gag.

Master Yu Ding gently patted Yang Chan's back.

"Senior brother seems to have quite a bit of leisure and refined taste, actually learning to make this kind of food like ordinary people."

Shen Gongbao walked over and reached for one of the bear paws, because Black Tiger was drooling over it, so he gave it to Black Tiger to satisfy his craving.

"Whoosh~"

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Gongbao abruptly withdrew his outstretched hand.

A bright, sharp sword aura grazed his fingertips, causing him to stiffen.

The sword energy flew out and slashed straight at the distant mountain.

The next moment, the mountain collapsed, and a cloud of dust swept in.

Master Yu Ding then waved his hand, unleashing his magical power to dispel the dust and smoke filling the sky.

"The Immortal-Slaying Sword! Senior Brother, you're really angry."

Shen Gongbao was still in shock. He had only wanted some roasted meat, but Yu Ding wanted to kill him and even brought out the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the treasure of the cave.

Seeing that Yang Chan's breathing was gradually stabilizing, Master Yu Ding asked gently, "My dear disciple, would you like to eat more?"

Yang Chan's face was pale. After nodding, she shook her head pitifully. The tears in the corners of her eyes when she was gagging had not yet faded.

Clearly, the smell of blood from the black tiger was too disgusting for her to eat.

Master Yu Ding's expression was unfriendly as he looked at Shen Gongbao: "Tell that beast to get lost and stop disgusting my disciple. This is just a lesson for you. Next time, when I draw my sword, it will be aimed at your head. I've heard that Junior Brother Shen Gongbao is quite skilled in the flying head technique. I wonder if he can withstand a single sword strike from me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao gestured to the black tiger beside him to leave quickly.

The man and the beast stared at each other, a knowing and cunning glint in the black tiger's eyes.

Once the black tiger left, the stench disappeared.

Master Yuding's expression softened slightly. He glanced casually at Shen Gongbao, then continued turning the remaining three bear paws on the fire, asking as if it were nothing more than casual remark, "Didn't you go to Chaoge with that Cloud Boy? Why are you back? Couldn't you stay in Chaoge?"

"Oh, Senior Brother, what are you saying? I'm always at home wherever I am. In Chaoge, I was treated as an honored guest by King Di Xin of Shang. Even the Grand Tutor of Yin Shang had to be mindful of my feelings. I just missed you and Yang Chan after being away for so long, so I came back to keep you company."

Shen Gongbao found an empty seat next to Yang Chan, sat down, and began to talk eloquently, making up all sorts of stories.

As he spoke, he deliberately shook his shoulders, causing the two swords on his back to clink together and make a sound.

Master Yuding glanced at him and said, "I think you've come here to show off the treasure you obtained to your senior brother."

Shen Gongbao chuckled: "Senior brother saw through me. These two swords of mine are extraordinary. They are products of the Tushita Palace and have been in Laozi's furnace. Senior brother, guess what these two swords are called?"

Master Yu Ding shook his head: "I don't have time to play around with your nonsense. You'd be better off refining your weapon properly instead of showing off to your senior brother here."

In his perception, Shen Gongbao did not have a deep connection with the two high-grade acquired spiritual treasures on his back; they were indeed newly acquired.

"Okay, okay~ I'll go refine it another day. I just got a new treasure and I had to rush over to tell my senior brother the good news~"

Shen Gongbao waved his hand and said, raising his sword fingers together. Two sword lights rose behind him, like dragons emerging from the water, swirling and dancing in the air.

"I've named the one on the left 'Fellow Daoist,' and the one on the right is 'Please wait, we'll see later...'"

"You're thousands of years old and still have this kind of mentality. No wonder your senior brothers don't like you."

Master Yu Ding said irritably.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud suddenly erupted from the Golden Cloud Cave in the distance, and the smell of burning filled the air instantly.

Master Yu Ding's expression changed drastically: "Oh no, the old Taoist's pills!"

He turned to Shen Gongbao and said, "Junior brother, you stay here and help your senior brothers roast bear paws. I'll be right back."

"Don't worry, senior brother. Three thousand years ago, I was also a famous meat-grilling expert in the tribe."

Shen Gongbao patted his chest and assured him.

Watching Master Yuding transform into a beam of light and depart.

He was immediately overjoyed. The trouble with Master Yuding's batch of pills was caused by him having Black Tiger sabotage it in secret.

Otherwise, how could he have time alone with Yang Chan?

Shen Gongbao turned around, forcing what he thought was a kind smile on his face, and looked at Yang Chan.

However, his facial features were rugged, which Yang Chan found quite terrifying.

"Uncle-Master, did you see my brother when you went to Chaoge this time? Why did Black Tiger come back but my brother didn't?"

Yang Chan mustered her courage and asked.

I'll definitely update more during the May Day holiday, starting with 8000 words a day for three days, totaling 2.4 words. If I don't finish, I'll chop off my penis!
