Becoming a god begins with the evolution of acupoint supernatural powers.

"On the other hand, Pigsy is in a terrible situation..."

In the clearing in front of the woods, Lu Ming was telling a story with great enthusiasm.

He would certainly agree to the condition of obtaining the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo without spending cultivation resources.

That day, Feng Qingzhu seemed to relax a bit, and sometimes she would smile as she listened.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her face was stunningly beautiful. She had always been aloof and cold, which had somewhat concealed her charm. But now, when she smiled, a strange feeling arose in Lu Ming's heart.

"This girl actually has a pretty smile," Lu Ming muttered to himself.

"When did Feng Qingzhu and Lu Ming become so close?"

Not far away, Liu Yiyi stood gracefully under the eaves, looking at the two people who seemed to be talking and laughing in front of the woods, and said with a slight frown.

For some reason, seeing this scene made her feel uneasy.

Chen Feng stood beside her and smiled:

"I heard that they have been coming here every day to practice their skills recently."

"These past few days, besides sparring, they've been chatting every day, and today they chatted for an unusually long time."

Liu Yiyi was a little annoyed and pouted, saying, "Qingzhu is usually aloof and arrogant, but I didn't expect her to have her own little schemes."

"She sparred with Lu Ming every day, so she must already know Lu Ming's strength and that he has the ability to break into the top three."

"I never expected that she wouldn't tell me so I could prepare in advance."

"Now that Lu Ming has been recruited by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, her relationship with Lu Ming seems to have become even better at just the right time."

"Hmph, I just don't understand. Even if Lu Ming gets a red sign, he's only in the top three of the small test. Why did Tianji Pavilion suddenly recruit Lu Ming?"

"You should know that Senior Brother Chen is such a genius, yet the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion doesn't even bother to acknowledge him!"

Hearing this, Chen Feng felt a pang of jealousy, and his face darkened.

He never expected that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion would recruit Lu Ming, and even go so far as to reprimand Shen Changfeng and suppress Guo Zhengwei for it!

With the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion as his backer, Lu Ming could move freely in the city without hindrance, and no one dared to assassinate him anymore.

However, in order to secure a spot in a third-rate sect ahead of time, he had Chen Jinyang deal with Lu Ming, thus creating a deadly feud with Lu Ming.

This news was extremely detrimental to him.

He glanced at Liu Yiyi beside him and thought to himself that the best course of action now was to win over the neutral Flying Dragon Martial Arts School and let Zhou Zhen's side take the initiative as soon as possible.

In this way, he can make great contributions and receive more rewards, allowing him to cultivate faster.

In the world of martial arts, strength ultimately reigns supreme.

Although Tianji Pavilion recruited Lu Ming, it will not go against him for Lu Ming's sake.

As long as he remains stronger than Lu Ming, he has no need to fear Lu Ming.

Furthermore, if he could be eliminated fairly and squarely in the competition, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion would not bother to harm a fallen genius.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng smiled faintly at Liu Yiyi:

"The situation is complicated now. As the saying goes, those who follow the right path will find many helpers, while those who stray from it will find few. Although Lu Ming received funding from the Tianji Pavilion, he offended the mainstream forces in the city."

"Once he fails to continue his previous progress and loses his title of genius, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion will no longer protect him."

"The competition for the red card will definitely be more intense next time, and there might even be interceptions during the competition."

"Given Lu Ming's popularity, it's hard to say whether he can weather this storm. Given his limited resources, one wrong move could lead to total defeat."

"As for me, I have already been recruited by Senior Zhou and secured a position as a disciple of the Lingyun Sect in advance."

"Yiyi, according to Senior Zhou, one of the purposes of his visit to Chiyun County this time is to find a disciple with outstanding talent for Lingyun Sect."

"I am ready to recommend Yiyi to Senior Zhou and Brother Shen so that she can become a disciple of Lingyun Sect. Then we can be fellow disciples again."

Liu Yiyi exclaimed in surprise, "Is this true? I... I can become a disciple of the Lingyun Sect?"

Chen Feng laughed and said, "Yiyi, don't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, your loss to Lu Ming in the last quiz had a lot of luck involved."

"If Lu Ming had broken through a little slower, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"Since Lu Ming was recruited by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, you are not much different."

"In that case, you are more than qualified to become a disciple of the Lingyun Sect."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi said happily, "If it weren't for Senior Brother Chen's recommendation, I probably wouldn't have had this opportunity. If I can really become a disciple of Lingyun Sect, I really have to thank Senior Brother properly."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Alright, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

He then took his leave.

"Take care, senior brother." Liu Yiyi responded and was about to leave when she suddenly saw Feng Qingzhu teaching Lu Ming martial arts in the clearing in front of the woods not far away.

"That is... the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo?" A look of disbelief appeared in Liu Yiyi's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Feng Qingzhu would teach Lu Ming this kung fu she created herself.

This is simply impossible. Even when Li Youning asked Feng Qingzhu to teach her, Feng Qingzhu refused.

"Could it be that Qingzhu has secretly fallen for her?" A thought flashed through Liu Yiyi's mind. No, she couldn't let Feng Qingzhu continue to sink deeper into despair.

Chen Feng had just hinted that Lu Ming might be intercepted or obstructed in the next competition for the red card.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion cannot possibly interfere with such competition.

If Lu Ming makes even the slightest mistake, he could easily lose his title of genius and be kicked out of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Therefore, Shen Changfeng will never let Lu Ming go again.

If Feng Qingzhu gets too involved with Lu Ming, wouldn't she also be in danger?

She hurried over there.

As she approached, the two stopped teaching and turned to look.

Liu Yiyi glanced coldly at Lu Ming, then said to Feng Qingzhu:

"Qingzhu, why did you teach him the Eighteen Styles of Qingzhu as well? Don't get too involved with him; it won't do you any good."

Feng Qingzhu, holding a green bamboo stick, frowned as she looked at Liu Yiyi, who had suddenly walked over and said those words out of the blue.

"This has nothing to do with you."

Liu Yiyi's face froze, her breathing quickened slightly, her chest heaved, and she said:

"We've known each other for years and are friends. How can you say we have no relationship?"

"I'm saying these things to you because I want what's best for you."

"Does this mean you're no longer considering me a friend because of Lu Ming?"

"If you won't listen to your friend's heartfelt advice, then there's no need for us to be friends anymore."

Feng Qingzhu's expression remained unchanged as she said, "It's a deal."

Liu Yiyi was surprised by Feng Qingzhu's words. Her expression changed. She looked at Feng Qingzhu, then at Lu Ming who looked completely innocent. Her face turned pale and then red. She said...

"well!"

Enraged, she turned and left.

Feng Qingzhu withdrew her gaze, not even glancing at her.

Lu Ming looked apologetic. "I'm sorry I made you argue with your friend. How about we find a more secluded place for the lesson?"

Feng Qingzhu said, "The Li family used to be the leader of the neutral forces in Chiyun County, and she and You Ning also claimed to be friends. But in reality, they weren't really friends to begin with."

Lu Ming suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

He then felt a strange sensation; Feng Qingzhu had actually explained it to him.

In the past, Feng Qingzhu would not have explained this kind of thing to him.
