Chapter 364: Huang Shiliu, the Thief (1)

At the award ceremony after the competition, Lu Ping was beaming with joy.

Although the Peach of Immortality was eventually snatched away by outsiders, to Lu Ping, this was nothing.

It was only a Peach of Immortality that ripened once every three thousand years. He still had more than ten Peaches of Immortality that ripened once every nine thousand years.

However, whether these Peaches of Immortality should be given to his disciples or kept for his own use would depend on the specific situation in the future.

After his family consumed the Peaches of Immortality, their cultivation levels had also increased by a large margin.

Since they had all advanced to the Tribulation stage and above, their starting points were already low. It was already enough to make people happy that they had such an increase.

Most importantly, after this time, their qualifications had been completely improved.

It was no longer a factor that restricted their cultivation.

As the saying went, a few were happy and a few were sad.

The Myriad Spirit sect undoubtedly became the biggest winner, they obtained the Peach of Immortality.

As for the Seven Phoenixes sect, they successfully used this opportunity to show the potential of their disciples to the outside world.

Although the Qingzhou state sects didn’t reap any great benefits, they didn’t suffer any injuries.

The most unlucky one was the Eight Desolation Immortal sect. The sect’s favorite, Hua Wuxie, died in battle on the last day. Not only did they not get anything, they even lost a genius.

This was very unpleasant.

Lu Ping handed the Peach of Immortality to Zhou Yuqing.

This guy’s face was still calm. Although he was happy in his heart, there was no change in his appearance. He only carefully put away the fruit.

In the crowd, Huang Shiliu was almost drooling as she watched him put away the fruit.

“Don’t eat it, don’t eat it. You must take it home before you eat it. You must take the good stuff home and enjoy it slowly,” Huang Shiliu muttered silently.

Once the things were in their hands, the people of their respective sects naturally wouldn’t stay any longer. They all took their leave.

A fake smile hung on Lu Ping’s face as he sent them off one by one.

He waited until all the disciples of the various sects had left.

Lu Ping returned to his room. He had already moved into the same room with Huang Xiaoqi.

After entering the room, Lu Ping smiled and said, “You sure know how to hide and be quiet. Why didn’t you say that you would go out and help me?”

Huang Xiaoqi rolled her eyes, “Why would I go out?” Said Lu Ping. “These people can’t wait to take the benefits and leave. You can’t wait for them to get lost as well. It’s just that they have no choice but to welcome you because of their reputation. I can’t be bothered to play along with you guys.”

Lu Ping shook his head and said, “Generally speaking, if our sect wants to slowly get on the right track, we must establish a good operating model. The current model is too abnormal. It’s completely relying on your financial resources to fund it.”

Huang Xiaoqi smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not that troublesome. If you don’t think it’s suitable, I just need to merge the business into the sect. In that case, it can be considered as the sect’s business. It’s a secular matter, so there’s no need to go through so much trouble.”

Lu Ping pondered for a moment and said, “Forget it for the time being. These people in the sect are now a mix of fish and dragons. If the business is merged into them, there won’t be less trouble. It’s better to take things one step at a time.”

This was true. Although the inner disciples of the sect were all for cultivation, it was impossible for them to have a 100% success rate. Even if Lu Ping had the system, there were still some people among these disciples who were difficult to nurture.

These people were bound to take charge of some of the sect’s businesses and external affairs during this process.

This was an inevitable process, and under such circumstances, merging Huang Xiaoqi’s current private industry with the sect’s industries would bring problems.

In Lu Ping’s opinion, there was no need to do so. This was because Huang Xiaoqi’s current business would ultimately yield benefits to Huang Xiaoqi. Moreover, she also had a complete business model.

Why create more trouble?

As for the sect itself, it would just develop slowly.

Seeing that Lu Ping didn’t agree, Huang Xiaoqi didn’t ask any further. To her, this matter wasn’t worth paying attention to.

Suddenly, Lu Ping let out a soft exclamation.

Huang Xiaoqi asked curiously, “What’s the matter, Hubby?”

“Huang Shiliu went out.”

Lu Ping controlled the sect’s grand array, so he could clearly sense the sect’s disciples coming and going.

Huang Xiaoqi smiled and said, “She might have wanted to go out and play.”

Lu Ping looked at her and smiled. “Are you sure?”

“What do you mean?” Huang Xiaoqi could see that Lu Ping was implying something.

“Our young miss is a typical nerd. Other than eating, she watches anime and manga. Her interpersonal relationships are limited to a few girls from the sect. If I remember correctly, ever since I came back, this girl hasn’t left her house once, right?”

“Yeah.” Huang Shiliu had always been like this, so Huang Xiaoqi didn’t feel surprised.

But suddenly, she reacted.

“Is she heading toward the people of the Myriad Spirit sect?”

Lu Ping helplessly spread his hands and smiled, “Not in the same direction, but I guess that girl is putting a smoke bomb on me. Once she meets food, she is definitely scheming!”

In the sky, all the cultivators of the Myriad Spirit sect looked on with smiles on their faces.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that they had accepted the Peach of Immortality that was the focus of everyone’s attention and suppressed the Qingzhou state sects could be said to be a manifestation of the Myriad Spirit sect’s strength.

The sect elder said with a smile, “Yuqing’s performance is not bad. When we go back this time, take the Peach of Immortality and see if it’s as amazing as Lu Ping said.”
