Chapter 159 Jade Cauldron Immortal Takes Yang Jian as Disciple Ahead of Schedule
Yang Jiao even flew to the towering Dragon Gate with her Heavenly Eye to investigate.
They searched for a long time in every place within a 300-mile radius of Guanjiangkou, but still could not find the location of the Jade Cauldron Immortal.
She felt uneasy:
"When did real people become so fast?"
In just two days, it disappeared.
If Yang Jiao hadn't known that Yu Ding Zhenren couldn't climb clouds, she would have thought that Yu Ding Zhenren had already returned to Jinxia Cave on Yuquan Mountain.
"But where is the real person?"
Yang Jiao murmured, "If I can't find Master Yu Ding, I can't practice those profound techniques."
As she was getting anxious, a rather impractical idea suddenly popped into her head...
"Could it be that I overestimated the real person's speed?"
He's a deity, after all, and was once one of the most powerful among the Twelve Golden Immortals. It shouldn't be that bad...
Yang Jiao felt that this idea was both reasonable and unreasonable.
Gradually narrow down the scope of the Sky Eye's observation.
At a glance, I spotted a blue-green figure, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, walking back to Yuquan Mountain, more than 30 kilometers away from Guanjiang Estuary.
"..."
She immediately mustered her courage and chased after him.
In just a few breaths, he arrived behind Jade Cauldron Immortal and shouted:
"Master, please wait!"
Upon hearing this, Master Yuding, covered in sweat, turned around and looked at Yang Jiao, panting heavily.
Why are you here?
Yang Jiao clung to Yu Ding Zhenren's Taoist robe and wouldn't let go, wailing loudly:
"Master, I have a favor to ask of you."
Master Yu Ding had a bad feeling. He looked Yang Jiao up and down and asked cautiously:
"What's the matter?"
“Recite those 40,000+ books of yours for me.”
"What?!" Master Yu Ding's expression changed drastically; he knew this couldn't be good! He waved his hand and said:
"No, no, this is what the disciples of Jade Void have learned. Besides, I'm already in this state. What if I recite it again and my life is already gone!"
Yang Jiao is currently unable to find a suitable master.
"We can only ask Jade Cauldron Immortal for help," he said, not giving up.
"Please, Master, help me out of our shared fate. If I don't learn, I won't even have a chance to survive when the heavenly soldiers and generals descend to earth."
"Learning it will give you a better chance of survival, won't it?"
Master Yu Ding hesitated, considered it for a moment, and finally shook his head, saying:
"The teachings of the Jade Void Sect cannot be passed on to outsiders. Besides, are you trying to take advantage of my Chan Sect? There are two even more powerful figures in the West whose lives are intertwined with mine."
Yang Jiao weakly held up three fingers and assured them:
"Rest assured, Master, the Western teachings are also included."
Isn't this the Jade Cauldron Immortal from recently? Moreover, he is known as the encyclopedia of the Three Realms. Even learning a little bit from him would be enough to defeat an old man with an axe.
Seeing that Yu Ding Zhenren was wavering, Yang Jiao didn't give him a chance to think of a reason to refuse, and carried him to Guanjiang Estuary.
Jade Cauldron Immortal struggles:
"Hey hey hey hey, it took me two days of walking to get here!"
"Next time, could you please not follow that fat Taiyi Zhenren's example and use me up after you're done with me?"
They returned to Guanjiang Estuary amidst the curses and shouts of Master Yuding.
Yang Jiao was terrified the moment she put him down!
He stared at Yang Jian, his expression stiff.
Because of their own circumstances, the master and disciple were able to meet earlier than planned...
As soon as Master Yuding landed, he began to straighten his Taoist robe. Looking at the unfamiliar faces by the tea table, he became interested in the obedient little monkey munching on a peach.
He walked over and stared intently at Sun Wukong.
He clapped his hands and pointed, saying:
"What an intelligent monkey! It's so young yet it already has intelligence; it's going to be very successful."
Do you have a master?
Sun Wukong shifted his position, turning his backside towards him.
What is a master?
No, not as good as an older sister.
Yang Jiao's eyes widened. What was going on?
The Jade Cauldron Immortal has taken a liking to the monkey!
She quickly stepped forward and stood between the two, trying to draw Yu Ding Zhenren's attention to Yang Jian:
“Real person, this is my younger brother Yang Jian.”
Upon hearing this, Jade Cauldron Immortal broke out in a cold sweat! Fairy Yao Ji had another child besides Yang Jiao?!
He slapped the palm-leaf fan on his forehead and refused:
"I won't look, I won't look."
This family is going against the Heavenly Court. If it weren't for Yang Jiao's broken oath already being formed, I would have to give Yang Jiao a wide berth.
Yang Jiao choked.
Yang Jian glanced at the somewhat eccentric Jade Cauldron Immortal, then similarly pursed his lips and looked away.
Since the Jade Void Technique is only taught to members of the Chan Sect, why doesn't Yang Jian simply become a disciple beforehand?
It's not a big problem to eavesdrop on a few words.
Yang Jiao pulled on Yu Ding Zhenren's hand and dragged the palm-leaf fan down:
"You'll see for yourself in person."
"He is very talented."
Master Yu Ding was not as strong as Yang Jiao, and the palm-leaf fan was forced to be pulled down, but his eyes remained closed.
Leaning back in his chair, a deep frown lined his brow as he closed his eyes.
Yang Jiao then used her hands to pry open his eyelids, forcibly opening them so that he could look at Yang Jian before speaking:
“Real person, look back at him. I don’t believe your eyes are empty.”
Yu Ding Zhenren was forced to look at Yang Jian.
The three- or four-year-old child sitting in front of me has deep-set features and an excellent appearance. He is extraordinary at such a young age, and his temperament is even more refined.
At first glance, he is even more talented than that fat Taiyi's precious disciple.
He sighed inwardly:
"This Yao Ji is truly blessed; the children she had with a mortal are all exceptionally talented."
He was torn.
If one were to take on disciples, the karmic entanglements involved would be far greater.
But what if we miss this opportunity...?
Master Yu Ding was tormented, but then he had another thought.
Yang Jiao's life is already tied to his own, so what's the big deal about taking his brother as a disciple?!
He jumped to his feet, looked at Yang Jian, and was finally swayed by his talent. He nodded, then rushed to the bank of the Guankou River in frustration, squatted down, and frantically splashed the water with a palm-leaf fan to vent his anger:
"Ahhh, I must have owed you siblings something in my past life!"
Yang Jiao was overjoyed.
He quickly said to Yang Jian:
“Master Yu Ding is a rare and excellent master in the Three Realms. Jian’er, why don’t you go and pay respects to your master?”
Yang Jian looked deeply at his sister, knowing that she was seeking protection for him. Although he was young, he knew his mother's identity and how difficult his family's future would be.
Therefore, he practiced his skills more diligently than anyone else.
"Jian'er understands."
Yang Jian rose and walked towards Jade Cauldron Immortal, kneeling heavily behind the figure still stomping his feet, and proclaimed loudly:
"Disciple Yang Jian greets Master."
The jumping figure paused, held his ground for a second, then suddenly relaxed. Jade Cauldron Immortal slowly turned around, helped Yang Jian up, and said:
"Good child, your master will certainly teach you well, but I promise you one thing..."
Yang Jian looked up in confusion, waiting for what would happen next.
All that could be seen was Master Yu Ding's bitter expression, his lips pursed, and he let out a mournful cry:
"If you cause trouble in the future, just don't mention your master."
