“You’re teaching it yourself?” Huang Beisi frowned.

He didn’t know what Lu Ping meant.

In fact, the help Lu Ping mentioned was just a pretense.

It was to highlight the price he had to pay for learning the cultivation method, and his real goal was to have these people become his disciples.

As long as these phoenixes were taught by him, they would be considered his disciples. At that time, he could use the White Jade Ring Ruler on them.

This way, if there were any conflicts in the future, Lu Ping could be considered to have some countermeasures.

To be honest, this condition was not unacceptable in Huang Beisi’s eyes.

However, he still added, “They will help you three times. Now I have some conditions. First, you can’t be enemies with the Phoenix clan. Second, you can’t be enemies with any forces that have saints behind them.”

He didn’t want to be restricted by Lu Ping’s methods to become enemies with those powerful existences.

After all, everyone knew that the two from the Western religion were good at scheming.

He even suspected that the relationship between Lu Ping and Huang Xiaoqi was due to some sort of scheme.

However, he didn’t say it out loud. Just as Lu Ping said, if he could really obtain the support of saints, it would undoubtedly bring great benefits to the rise of his clan.

However, he wanted benefits, but he did not want to be treated as cannon fodder.

Huang Beisi’s eyes flashed with a wise light.

He sneered in his heart, “Hmph, kid, I want the benefits, but if the person behind you wants to harm my clan, it won’t be that easy!”

He smiled and agreed, “Of course.”

“But why does he want to teach it personally?” Huang Beisi was a little puzzled, he pondered in his heart, “This kid did not give me the cultivation technique because he wanted to prevent us from cultivating it at will. He wants to teach it personally because he wants to sign a spirit contract. Although the clansmen can cultivate it, the cultivation technique is still in his hands! What a cunning kid!”

This time, he wasn’t wrong. The reason why Lu Ping wanted to personally teach him was partly to form a teacher-student relationship, and partly because he didn’t want to directly give the cultivation technique to Huang Beisi.

If this guy obtained the cultivation technique and turned hostile, wouldn’t he lose both his wife and his disciples?

Lu Ping didn’t have much trust in this father-in-law who wanted his life.

It had to be said that Lu Ping’s tactic of pulling the wool over his eyes was quite effective.

Moreover, Huang Beisi did believe it.

First, it was Kong Xuan, and then it was Sun Wukong. Was it possible to say that Lu Ping had nothing to do with the Western religion?

Moreover, these two people’s cultivations were at the top. If they didn’t have the approval of a saint, why would they get involved with a Tribulation stage cultivator like Lu Ping?

With a saint behind him, Lu Ping’s value in the eyes of Huang Beisi was completely different.

His status was also completely different.

Although Lu Ping’s performance was a little annoying, that sentence was indeed effective.

Having someone behind him was awesome!

This was also reality.

Could he defeat a saint by relying on himself?

However, Huang Beisi also had some doubts about Lu Ping’s status in Mount Numinous. However, just looking at the two people beside him, they were also famous existences in Mount Numinous. It was likely that Lu Ping’s status wasn’t low.

After thinking for a while, Huang Beisi’s originally cold face finally revealed a smile.

“Alright, Lu Ping, this matter is settled. I’ll study it and see if I can choose a cultivation technique. I’ll let you know when the time comes!” At this moment, Huang Beisi’s tone became much gentler.

He still had plans in his heart.

Currently, the Phoenix clan was still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. What he was constantly worried about was that if the Jade Emperor really sent experts to pay up, the outcome of the battle would be unknown!

However, he still had hope. After all, the experts of the Heavenly Court might not go all out. Perhaps they were just going through the motions.

Now, if he could build a closer relationship with Lu Ping, he might be able to get some good words from the higher-ups of the Western Church in the future.

This was what he really wanted. On the contrary, it was not that he did not care about cultivation techniques, but it was not his ultimate goal.

He hoped that he could use the Western religion to pull the strings of the Heavenly Court to restrict him.

“Then you won’t be returning to the sect for dinner today?” Lu Ping asked with a smile.

“Tomorrow! Tomorrow!” Huang Beisi’s face was full of smiles.

Lu Ping secretly sighed in his heart. What Huang Xiaoqi said was indeed correct.

This old father-in-law of his was really a person with a strong desire for power. He had a standard politician’s face. Once he saw that Lu Ping was of use, it was immediately different.

Lu Ping could roughly guess Huang Beisi’s thoughts. This was also why he went to pull the wool over the eyes of the Western sect.

The two of them were full of smiles, but in their hearts, they did not have much of a good impression of each other.

Lu Ping and Sun Wukong left together.

Seeing the two of them fly away, the smile on Huang Beisi’s face gradually disappeared.

“Go, go to the Heavenly Phoenix Planet and ask the clan to pick some children whose bloodline purity is not too good and send them over! Send twenty first!”

Interstellar travel required time. This round trip would take at least two months, so he directly ordered Feng Zeming to do it.

Feng Zeming said in a low voice, “Sir, are we just going to accept him like this?”

“Hmph, so what if we accept him? You’ve seen it yourself. Right now, Little Xiaoqi and he have already become cultivation partners. That kid has experts by his side and saints behind him. If we don’t accept him, what else can we do?”

Feng Zeming wasn’t stupid enough to want to make an enemy out of a saint.

To ordinary people, saints and the Heavenly Court were distant entities.

But to them, these entities weren’t hidden.

He just couldn’t accept the fact that Lu Ping’s identity had changed so quickly.

He said in a low voice, “Sir, I think there might be a problem. That Lu Ping grew up on Fengming Planet since he was young. Before that, he didn’t have any mystical powers. He only revealed some abilities after he joined Qingzhou Academy. I was the one who arranged for him to join Qingzhou Academy. How could this kid get involved with a aint?”

Huang Beisi said helplessly, “Are you and I able to guess the actions of a saint? This kid has Kong Xuan and Sun Wukong by his side. Do you think that they would help a kid who has never been out of Fengming Planet if it wasn’t for the saint’s instructions? There must be something special about this kid. In other words, he is a chess piece of the saint. Perhaps he has some use for it! No matter what, what’s done is done. It’s certain that this kid has something to do with Western religions! There’s no need for you to get involved in this matter. Hurry back to Heavenly Phoenix Star!”

“Yes!” Feng Zeming bowed and left.

On the other side, Lu Ping and Sun Wukong met Zhang Biao.

Zhang Biao was very happy to see the two of them.

Ever since Lu Ping left, the two of them had hardly any contact with each other.

They each had their own lives and cultivation.

Lu Ping didn’t go back on his word. This time, he took Zhang Biao to an expensive restaurant.

They ordered a table full of dishes.

Lu Ping looked at Zhang Biao.

He was at the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage!

That’s right. It had been nearly two years since they graduated.

Zhang Biao’s cultivation had increased by two levels.

From the perspective of common cultivators, such a speed was actually considered normal, or even above average.

However, Lu Ping was already a Tribulation stage cultivator.

Things had changed, but people had changed too.

But what made Lu Ping very gratified was that Zhang Biao was not jealous at all. He was still laughing, chatting, and eating.

That was because he treated Lu Ping as a friend.

After three rounds of wine and five different dishes, Lu Ping looked at Zhang Biao and said with a smile, “How about it? Are you interested in coming to the Seven Phoenixes sect?”

Zhang Biao chuckled and agreed, “Sure! I was thinking about it before. Lu, you’re not particular about it. When you’re rich, you don’t even mention bringing me along. That’s more like it!”

He did not hide what he was thinking.

In reality, it would be unrealistic to say that he did not have any thoughts.

However, if Lu Ping did not open his mouth, he would not take the initiative to bring it up.

He did not want to trouble Lu Ping, but since Lu Ping had opened his mouth, it would only be a joke if he said it again.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “I’m busy right now. There are a lot of things going on recently. Don’t worry. With me around, your cultivation speed will definitely increase.”
