Sage Master Teaches His Son

The Sage Master was speechless, and said irritably, "You've got a really good plan, isn't it? You don't have to pay anything if you lose, but you make hundreds of millions of Spirit Stone off us if you win?"

Zhang Yang said meaningfully, "They hold the secrets of the Azure Cloud Sect's development over the years. Don't you want to know? That's why I said if you win, you'll have already gained something."

I'm confident they deserve ten Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones!

Actually, what secret is there?

The secret of "ideological education" lies in its subtle and gradual process.

Only when Sage Master has a complete understanding of the entire process of "ideological education," and has to deduce it in detail and understand human nature, can he possibly uncover the secrets.

There are no other secrets.

Besides, even if the Sage Master discovers the secrets of ideological education, the powerful Langya Sacred Land would still need time to figure it out.

With both sides having already decided to form an alliance, this can be considered a good thing.

As for allowing the Langya Sacred Land to contact the seven people, one reason is to expose the traitor's activities. If these traitors are truly problematic, and even years of ideological education have failed, then the sooner the problem is exposed, the better. If no problems arise, it indicates the success of the ideological education, and incidentally, it's a way to profit seventy Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone from the Langya Sacred Land —isn't that a good thing?

This is a sure thing, why not gamble?

The Sage Master fell into deep thought.

He wondered if the secrets held by the Azure Cloud Sect disciples were worth seventy Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone.

The Azure Cloud Sect's rapid rise to power in such a short time undoubtedly indicates the existence of a secret.

As for whether the Langya Sacred Land could recall the seven disciples, the Sage Master had no doubt.

Because these seven people were sent out by them, and each of them had deep ties with the Qingyun Sect. How could they be cut off by the Azure Cloud Sect in just a few years?

Besides, the Azure Cloud Sect is currently facing a lot of troubles and is far less stable than the Langya Sacred Land. Therefore, these seven people will definitely be taken back.

However, since Zhang Yang mentioned the bet, it means that Zhang Yang should also be confident.

Therefore, the Sage Master might be considering that there are a few people he might not be able to get back.

This means that he would lose to Azure Cloud Master several dozen Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, equivalent to several hundred million Spirit Stone.

The Langya Sacred Land doesn't lack hundreds of millions of Spirit Stone, but a few dozen Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone could very well strengthen the foundation of the Azure Cloud Sect. Currently, as allies, he is happy to see the Azure Cloud Sect's foundation increase.

Thinking this through, the Sage Master decisively said, "I'll take the bet with you!"

However, you cannot threaten them when we are in contact with them!

"Of course!" Zhang Yang nodded with a smile. "I'm different; you can threaten them!"

The Sage Master was surprised and asked, "Are you really that confident?"

Zhang Yang shrugged. "What's the point of keeping people who can't be retained?"

"Haha, good!" The Sage Master nodded approvingly. "Just for your magnanimity, I promise you privately that I'll give you ten Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones! If you're willing to exchange them for something else, we can also give you some Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, up to a maximum of two hundred!"

Zhang Yang shook his head. "Then thank you very much for your generosity, Sage Master. We don't need anything else right now... Oh, right, I have a pill on hand, refined by my Third Uncle-Master. If taken by someone at the Primordial Spirit Realm Peak, it's almost guaranteed to propel them into the Dao Integration Realm. We call this pill the Dao Integration Pill... Sage Master, would you like to buy one for Brother Kong? Considering we're acquaintances, I'll only charge you fifty Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone!"

"I don't need it!" Kong Xiuping shouted angrily.

Does he not even qualify for the Dao Integration Realm? Why are you looking down on him so much?

Zhang Yang a strange smile, "Brother Kong, I think you need it!"

"I..."

The Sage Master waved his hand to stop his son from speaking, then looked at Zhang Yang and asked strangely, "Did you get anything good on the Prodigy Battlefield this time?"

"To my shame, I raided all your strongholds, and I did get some good stuff from them!" Zhang Yang replied with a smile.

Even the Sage Master was speechless.

That kid's shameless! Wouldn't it be better if he just applied some of that to his own son's face?

He nodded and said, "I agree!"

Zhang Yang took out a pill that Danchenzi had refined using a three-thousand-year-old elixir and handed it to the Sage Master.

Upon seeing the pill, the Sage Master's expression turned extremely solemn. He gave Zhang Yang a deep look and said, "It seems you were deliberately trying to lure me in!"

Don't worry, once we form an alliance, our interactions will deepen, and there will be other things to trade then."

He stood up, looked at Azure Cloud Master, and said with a smile, "You've really taken on a good disciple, unlike my son, who's utterly useless!"

Azure Cloud Master also stood up, smiling and shaking his head, "Sage Master is too kind. Your son is indeed a rare figure in the world!"

"Since that's the case, how about marrying your second disciple to my son?" the Sage Master said again.

Azure Cloud Master glanced at Zhang Yang beside him and said with a smile, "Zhang Yang already said that our Azure Cloud Sect does not engage in marriage alliances!"

"What if they themselves are willing?" the Sage Master asked.

Azure Cloud Master hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded affirmatively and said, "As your master, I'm happy to see it happen!"

"Alright, that's exactly what I wanted to hear, fellow Daoist!" The Sage Master laughed. "It was a very pleasant meeting with you all. I will send someone to your Azure Cloud Sect soon! Farewell!"

After saying this, he took Kong Xiuping and turned back to the Langya Sacred Land.

Azure Cloud Master watched the Sage Master disciples leave, then he looked at Zhang Yang and said seriously, "Boy, Mingyue cannot marry into another sect; it would be a huge loss for us. So, go back and marry Mingyue!"

Zhang Yang said speechlessly, "Master, I just said that we must abandon the outdated custom of arranged marriages!"

"The situation is different now. Mingyue simply cannot marry someone from the Langya Sacred Land," Azure Cloud Master said definitively.

Zhang Yang laughed, "Master, you can rest assured, Junior Sister won't like someone like Kong Xiuping."

Azure Cloud Master glanced at Zhang Yang a few times. "I think it's better if I make the decision myself! You come back by yourself, I'll go find Mingyue and ask about the situation first!"

After saying that, he disappeared on the spot to find Situ Mingyue.

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded. "Are you in such a hurry?"

Let's talk about this after we get back to our sect!

With a sense of helplessness, he took out his flying boat, invited Gudoer and Gu Yan, and slowly flew back to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Meanwhile, after returning to the Langya Continent, the Sage Master and Kong Xiuping did not rush back to the Langya Sacred Land.

The Sage Master glanced at Kong Xiuping and asked, "Have you learned anything?"

Kong Xiuping gave a wry smile and said, "In some aspects, I am ashamed to admit my inferiority. However, I truly do not need that elixir; I guarantee I can enter the Dao Integration Realm!"

The Sage Master shook his head helplessly, looked at Kong Xiuping and said, "You don't need it, but the Holy Land does!"

If the Alchemist of Holy Land can decipher the secrets of elixirs, it will enhance the foundation of the Holy Land.

This is where you fall short of Zhang Yang; you cherish yourself too much!

For the sake of the sect's interests and his own personal gain, Zhang Yang was determined to obtain it, even at the cost of losing face.

What about you?

If you lose face even a little, you start to get anxious and can't control your temper.

Xiu Ping, you're doing something wrong!

"Look at me, I'm over 2,300 years old, Tribulation Realm, the master of the Langya Sacred Land. Why would I care about my reputation?"

"Father..."

Kong Xiuping stared blankly at the Sage Master.

"You must change!" The Sage Master's expression turned serious. "After you return to your sect, go with Tu Shan and the others to the Azure Cloud Sect and bring the sixty Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone you promised Zhang Yang!"

Furthermore, I'm giving you a task: you must marry Situ Mingyue!

If you can't marry him...

The Sage Master glanced sideways at his son, the Disciplinary Ruler gently tapping his palm.

He wanted to use this incident to toughen up Kong Xiuping's skin.

"Father..."

Kong Xiuping bristled, staring at his father in horror.

The Sage Master frowned slightly and said softly, "This woman is definitely not simple!"

Otherwise, why would the Azure Cloud Sect keep holding on?
