Chapter 270: One plant, two beauties, twin flowers (16)
From the beginning to the end, Jade Ding Zhenren regarded Taoist Xuanqing as a tool to realize his personal ambitions.
Many gods were originally human beings, but they were able to ascend to heaven because they were able to do things that ordinary people could not do.
Especially the Twelve Golden Immortals, they became famous in the Conferred God Battle of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but after that, they rarely had the opportunity to appear in big scenes.
The "Twelve Golden Immortals" do not rank high among the Taoist gods, and there is an insurmountable gap between them and the "Three Pure Ones, Four Emperors, Five Elders and Six Officials".
Jade Ding Zhenren is dissatisfied with the status quo and wants to be promoted and make further progress in the heavenly realm.
If there is no actual combat opportunity, then one can only rely on other methods to quickly increase cultivation.
Jade Ding Zhenren set his sights on refining various elixirs.
The Buddhist beads of the ancient Buddha Dipamkara and the seeds of the twin flowers were all obtained by him after searching for them with great effort.
Shi Sui had been training in the mortal world for so many years, coming and going without a trace, and Jade Ding Zhenren was not always able to track her whereabouts. This time, it was only through the induction of the Dao Seal on the Buddhist beads that he learned that she had come to this world and had reached such a formidable level of cultivation.
If he doesn't take action, he might not be able to control her in a few days.
Now Shi Sui has been sucked into the Buddhist beads. Jade Ding Zhenren is certain that Shi Sui will kill Shi Qian and transform from a cocoon into a butterfly.
Once the twin flowers are refined into elixir and he swallows it, his skills will improve explosively.
Not to mention being the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, even if he were to fight the Ten Kings of Hell in the underworld, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage...
"Although I am a little disappointed that you didn't break the love poison on your own, your contributions this time are quite significant, so they can be considered as a balance. After I refine the immortal pill, I will allow you to return to the immortal world and serve me again."
Jade Ding Zhenren pointed the Immortal-Slaying Sword at his disciple Taoist Xuanqing, intending to remove the love poison in his body.
After hearing what his master said, Taoist Xuanqing was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Is it really because of the love poison that he fell in love with Huai Qian?
He had been under Jade Ding Zhenren's guidance for many years, following him to learn the Dharma and gain enlightenment, and he never knew that his master had such ambitions.
As the saying goes, "Once a teacher, always a father, and the master's orders are determined by heaven." This is the case in the human world, and the fairy world is even more demanding.
Even if the master orders the apprentice to cut bones and flesh or even to die bravely, the disciple has to obey.
Taoist Xuanqing has long been accustomed to unconditional obedience to Jade Ding Zhenren.
But if the love poison in his body is broken, then the memories related to Huai Qian will also disappear.
Taoist Xuanqing's face was full of hesitation.
Jade Ding Zhenren saw this and shook his head: "You are the most diligent of all my disciples. I originally had high hopes for you, but you can't even let go of a little bit of personal love. You really disappoint me!"
Losing a capable disciple is a small matter, but the feeling of being disrespected is a fatal insult to Jade Ding Zhenren.
Without saying a word, he turned his wrist slightly, pointed his sword and rose up with unstoppable force.
The powerful sword energy rushed straight towards Taoist Xuanqing.
Apprentices must obey their masters absolutely.
Moreover, Taoist Xuanqing's cultivation is far inferior to that of Jade Ding Zhenren, so he has no chance of winning.
But even so, he gritted his teeth, drew out his whisk and held it across in front of himself, trying to block the sword.
"Evil disciple! You have wasted all my training!"
Jade Ding Zhenren attacked vigorously, and with a light downward slash of the Immortal Sword, he cut Taoist Xuanqing's whisk in half.
Taoist Xuanqing had no way to escape. The love poison buried in his body was picked out by Master Yuding with a sword, smashed into pieces, and dissipated into the air.
Taoist Master Xuanqing felt dizzy for a moment and fell to his knees on the ground due to exhaustion.
The memories of Huai Qian, every bit of their brief few decades on earth, were rapidly passing away. He reached out to grab them, but in the end, he only caught a mirage, leaving nothing behind.
Jade Ding Zhenren put the Immortal Slaying Sword back behind him and narrowed his eyes. "You used to be so talented and intelligent, with a heart of steel and courage! Well, just consider it a tribulation. As long as you continue to reincarnate honestly, I will still regard you as my good disciple."
Taoist Xuanqing shook his heavy head and stiffly bowed to Master Yuding: "I will obey your orders and will not disobey."
In the fairy world, food is the original sin.
Even if he was unwilling, it could not change the fact that his feelings for Huai Qian had been taken away from him.
Taoist Master Xuanqing turned back into the "good disciple" who only obeyed his master's orders.
Jade Ding Zhenren nodded with satisfaction.
He raised his right hand and cast a spell to repair the whisk that was broken in two, restoring it to its original shape and handing it back to Taoist Xuanqing.
"Don't let me down again."
"Disciple obeys!"
The two disciples were "reconciled as before." But at this moment, a noise gradually came from far away.
Taoist Master Xuanqing had previously interrupted the casting of the "Thunderstorm Technique". The rain became lighter and lighter, and not long after, the sky gradually cleared up.
After the monks rushed to carry Master Mingjing back to the meditation room for treatment, they immediately sent a team back to check the damage to the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue when they saw the weather improved.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t look, but they will be shocked if they do.
Out of nowhere, how could there be an old Taoist priest with a youthful face like a crane on the mountaintop?!
Several monks holding wooden sticks surrounded Jade Ding Zhenren.
"Where are you from?! This is a peaceful place in Buddhism. Please go back home, Taoist priest."
These monks would never have dreamed that the person standing before them would be the true body of Jade Ding Zhenren, one of the “Twelve Golden Immortals”!
Jade Ding Zhenren was too lazy to bother with this group of "ants" in his eyes.
He stroked his long beard and said, "I have something important to attend to. If you guys know what's best for you, go back to the temple and continue chanting. Don't bother yourself."
The monks looked at each other.
The Big Buddha Temple is an ancient temple used by the royal family. The fact that the iconic statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was struck by lightning is enough to cause huge controversy from the outside world. If the two Taoists are allowed to run wild in the temple, where will the reputation of the Big Buddha Temple be put!
So everyone shared a common hatred for the enemy, roared, picked up sticks and started to chase and beat him.
Jade Ding Zhenren sneered contemptuously.
There was no need for him to take action at all.
Taoist Master Xuanqing, with a killer poker face, picked up his whisk and chanted a spell, wanting to catch all the monks in one fell swoop.
At this critical moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the stone statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva lying on the ground.
Snap—crackling—
Taoist Priest Xuanqing and Jade Ding Zhenren looked over nervously, only to see that the Buddhist beads embedded in the stone statue of Guanyin suddenly emitted a red light and shook violently, as if they were about to jump out.
Jade Ding Zhenren excitedly looked up to the sky and shouted: "Hahahaha - do you see this red light? Shi Sui must have absorbed Huai Qian and cultivated into a complete true body!"
He hurriedly took out a magical Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and wanted to put Shi Sui and the Buddhist beads inside.
call out--
But the beads only expanded rapidly, emitting a brighter and brighter red light. Finally, they broke free from the stone statue, soared into the air, and then suddenly exploded!
