Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Alright, alright, come here, everyone."

Yunping waved, signaling everyone to gather around.

This time, everyone gathered in front of the cloud and found a place to sit down. Zhang Ruoxue, who had no place to sit, was temporarily placed on Ye Yuchan's lap—anyway, this silly body had a strong load-bearing capacity.

Yunping glanced at everyone present. Apart from the eldest brother and Xiao Jiu, who were the oldest and youngest, who had not yet returned to Yuntian Academy, everyone else had arrived, and there were even two more grand-disciples.

After being away for so many years, I'm finally about to reunite everyone.

Next, only the eldest and the ninth are missing.

This time, however, their relationship isn't in a rush.

He waved his hand and said to everyone, "In the next few days, I may need to go into seclusion for a while. When I come out of seclusion, I will have a task for you."

"Little Cicada, tell Lao San and the others about it."

Ye Yuchan nodded, though she seemed somewhat reluctant, she still told Jiang Yuetian and the others about Chu Chenxi's request for their help.

Upon learning of the movements of the Demon Dynasty and the Immortal Capital, Jiang Yuetian frowned and said in a deep voice, "So, Master wants us to go and help the Lantian Empire?"

"Three more days at the academy."

Yunping added, while looking up, "If I'm not mistaken, you might have to go to the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace again."

“Lan Yu…” Jiang Yuetian looked puzzled.

"...The Heavenly Palace?" Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with doubt.

Yun Ping's face revealed an unfathomable smile: "After all, if I'm not mistaken, those two so-called True Immortals are probably heading towards us this time, they just took a detour."

"Leave the Three-Day Academy to Ruoxue and Yuchan."

"Leave the Lantian Empire to the third brother and Luo Kui."

"Leave the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace to Xiao Jiang, Fourth Brother, and Yuan'er."

Lu Yingqiu weakly raised her hand, her face still pale: "Then... what about me, Grandmaster?"

"You guys stay here and keep me company. If I'm left alone in this godforsaken place to mess around with those two lunatics, I'll be bored to death."

"Crazy...?" Lu Yingqiu blinked, completely unable to understand Yun Ping's words.

But the old rogue had no intention of explaining. Instead, he slowly stood up and said, "Well then, you're free to do as you please for the next few days, but before that—"

He suddenly turned around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Each of you, come to my room once."

As he spoke, he winked at everyone, raised his eyebrows, and wore a smug, cheeky grin.

"It's been a very, very long time since I've had an in-depth conversation with my beloved student."

“This is a rare opportunity, so let your teacher…” He licked his lips and chuckled, “Let me give you all a good beating.”

Upon seeing Yunping's exceptionally irritating expression, everyone's expressions simultaneously trembled.

They seemed to feel a... inexplicable chill creep up their spines.

3. What is the fourth brother trying to cosplay...?

The first one to enter the room and chat about life with the old rogue was the second brother, Jiang Yuetian.

When Xiao Jiang entered, he looked a little uneasy. He thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't made any mistakes or caused any trouble recently—except for claiming that he would teach Yuan'er how to cook, but that mistake wasn't his fault.

Before entering the room, Xiao Jiang muttered to himself, "I didn't do anything wrong, there's no need to be nervous."

That being said, when he entered the room and found Yunping sitting in a chair next to the wooden table with a smirk on his face, legs crossed, staring straight at him, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Jiang Yuetian instinctively covered his lower body and chest—he didn't know why he did it, even though he was a man, he always felt that Yunping's eyes were always wandering to these areas: "Teacher... is there something you need?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Yun Ping licked his lips and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yuetian: "Little Jiang, do you want to break through?"

"A breakthrough?" Jiang Yuetian was taken aback, wondering why Yun Ping would suddenly bring this up, but he still honestly replied, "I've been thinking about it..."

"Breakthroughs always come at a price, Xiao Jiang, are you willing...?"

Yunping paused here, then continued, "Offer your body?"

……

Jiang Yuetian covered her chest and lower body, her face flushed, purple hair falling from her temples, her voice barely audible: "This...this isn't a good idea."

He's a man, after all!

Yun Ping's expression turned serious: "What's wrong with it? Didn't you want to break through?"

“I do want to…” Jiang Yuetian shifted restlessly, “but I will not sell my body.”

“I’ve heard Junior Sister Yu Chan say that this is an unspoken rule.”

Yunping: "..."

That girl Yu Chan has been feeding Xiao Jiang some more inexplicable knowledge.

The old rogue inwardly cursed Ye Yuchan, then said irritably, "What are you thinking? Do you think that sleeping with your master will make you a saint?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetian scratched his face and blurted out sheepishly, "Theoretically speaking... dual cultivation with you should indeed improve one's cultivation level... right?"

Yunping immediately showed a rather terrified expression: "Xiao Jiang, you wouldn't...?"

"No, no! I was just guessing..."

"But you weren't wrong... Theoretically speaking, sleeping with me could directly break through to around the level of a half-immortal..."

Jiang Yuetian: "..."

Wow, that's really true!

The old rogue waved his hand, indicating that the topic didn't need to be continued, and then said seriously, "Let's get back to business, Xiao Jiang, has your Lava Body stopped growing recently?"

Upon hearing that Yunping had finally stopped joking around, Jiang Yuetian also straightened up and nodded deeply.

That's right.

Jiang Yuetian's spear skills have already broken through the realm of "at will" through practice, and he has incorporated his own understanding into the spear technique. He has clearly reached the level where he can call himself a master of spear skills.

This is what is meant by a state of true freedom.

However, no matter how much his spear skills improved, Jiang Yuetian's cultivation level was still locked at the Void Realm. The reason he could not advance further was because his special elemental physique—the Lava Body—completely blocked his path forward.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Jiang's physical conditioning has reached its limit.

Although Xiao Jiang can further evolve his physique by receiving the inheritance of the Great Wilderness Heavenly Flame, the path he takes will no longer be his own, but rather the inheritance of the Great Wilderness Heavenly Flame, receiving the ultimate direct lineage.

Xiao Jiang's path is not that one.

"If you want to break through to the level of a sage, you can no longer rely solely on your physical constitution."

Yun Ping stared at Jiang Yuetian, gazing into those exceptionally beautiful purple eyes, and said, "How about trying to integrate the Lava Body into your soul?"

"Integrate into the divine soul?" Jiang Yuetian's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again: "But... how do I do that?"

"Destruction precedes construction. You are on the path of martial arts, and the path of martial arts is your life. Everything that happened in the Azure Secret Realm was a turning point in your life. Think back carefully, and you will understand what to do."

"If you're really unsure about a direction, don't ask me. Ask Yuan'er. She knows you better than I do."

“Yuan’er…”

Muttering the name of Yuan'er to himself, the image of that well-behaved and adorable little girl, who was sometimes mischievous and cunning, floated into his mind. A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Yuetian's eyes, and he couldn't help but nod: "Okay, I'll remember it."

"Okay, let's go out."

Seeing this, the old rogue didn't say much. The master can only lead you to the door; the rest is up to you. He wouldn't interfere too much in Xiao Jiang's path to sainthood.

"While you're at it, grab that pigeon, the third one, and make him appear in front of me within three minutes. Otherwise, we'll all be eating pigeon meat and drinking pigeon soup tonight."

Just as Jiang Yuetian was about to leave, she gave a wry smile, nodded, and then stepped out of the room.

Two minutes and 59 seconds later—

Jiang Shaoguang, the black-robed swordsman, was kicked into the house by a slender, jade-like leg. Without even thinking, it was obvious that it was Fan Luokui's leg.

Fan Luokui slammed the door shut. Jiang Shaoguang sighed helplessly and turned around, only to find Yun Ping staring at him with a sinister look.

"Oh, you've arrived?"

"Haha..." Jiang Shaoguang scratched his head and chuckled twice, "You asked me to come, how could I not come? Haha..."

Yun Ping rolled his eyes at Jiang Shaoguang, then said irritably, "Why don't you just learn from Yu Chan and create your own Great Dao? I've already thought of a name for you: Pigeon Dao."

"When others think you're about to unleash your ultimate move, you don't. When others think you won't unleash it, you suddenly unleash it and instantly kill the enemy. That's also a way to use the pigeon strategy. What do you think?"

Jiang Shaoguang's eyes lit up: "Then is there also an ability to automatically avoid all battles and eliminate everyone?"

"You're nothing."

Yunping almost tore Jiang Shaoguang, that pigeon, to pieces.

“Yu Chan is a very special girl, so she can create her own Great Dao. As for you, you should just stick to the Path of the Sword.”

Jiang Shaoguang chuckled awkwardly and said, "Alright... Junior Sister Yu Chan is quite special."

Yunping rolled his eyes at the kid. In fact, of all his disciples, Jiang Shaoguang and Ye Yuchan were the most troublesome. One of them would skip a date and the other would cause trouble. They were really too much trouble.

"The sword path you follow is mainly about thoroughly understanding the Tai Chi Bagua Qingyan Diagram I gave you. In fact, you already touched the threshold of the Great Dao during the previous battle against the Demon Dynasty. You yourself are aware of this. The reason you haven't yet achieved Sainthood is..."

"I suspect you think crossing over to sainthood is too much trouble, right...?"

Jiang Shaoguang shuddered, a hint of nervousness appearing on his forehead: "N-no! How could I possibly stand up for something as important as the Cultivation of Sainthood..."

"Oh, really?"

A smile appeared on Yunping's face.

A sincere, earnest, heartwarming, and kind smile.

That expression was worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize.

"In that case, Third Brother, could you perhaps find some time to undergo a Sainthood ceremony?"

Jiang Shaoguang: "..."

Although Yunping was smiling, Jiang Shaoguang could not help but tremble at the mere glance at the smile on Yunping's lips.
