The Wheel-Turning Master

Sitting across the low table, Lin Bai poured tea for Huang Ruhua.

After greeting each other, Huang Ruhua drank a sip of tea and sighed: "I never thought that Fellow Daoist Yun would make such rapid progress."

"No, no." Lin Bai was very humble and used his previous words to fool around, while carefully observing the other party's expression.

Huang Ruhua looked vicissitudes, she must have been traveling all the way and just came back not long ago.

But she was excited, happy and expectant, and also a little worried.

Lin Bai estimated that she should not have obtained the golden elixir secret treasure yet, but she should have a clue.

After chatting for a while, Lin Bai smiled and said, "I was in seclusion last time, and I didn't know you had left until I came out. It was Yang Daoyou who told me."

He sighed and asked tentatively, "Was this trip smooth?"

Huang Ruhua nodded slightly and said, "Just barely. We found someone who knows the formation, but his cultivation is too low, and he is half-baked." She smiled helplessly, as if mocking herself, "But it was finally useful and helped us find the center of the formation. But there are too few people, and it takes many people to break the formation."

When she said this, she looked at Lin Bai.

Why did you invite me with all your heart? Just because I am a good person? Good people should go out and have fun? Lin Bai was speechless.

"You are a good person."

Huang Ruhua put down the teacup, "I trust your character. Although you act timidly... Although you are cautious, this is not a bad thing." Her eyes were burning, and she looked a little crazy. She continued: "You have done me a favor, but you have never held it against me. When I borrowed the Qi-nourishing Pill, it was not that no one would lend it to me, but they were all a little bit lustful. Only you did not look at me sideways, and treated me with courtesy and sincerity. The Qi-nourishing Pill is not worth anything, but I will remember this kindness in my heart."

I am like this to everyone... Besides, I see Sister Ning every day, so I naturally have no interest in ordinary women.

Lin Bai was indeed somewhat touched, and waved his hand and said, "You and I are independent cultivators, and we should help each other. Why does Fellow Daoist Huang keep bringing up the past?"

Huang Ruhua smiled, leaned forward, and whispered, "This is the third time I have invited you to go with me."

"I have just reached the sixth level of Qi training, I am afraid..." Lin Bai showed a worried look, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Is it really the secret treasure of the golden elixir?"

"It must be the golden elixir!" Huang Ruhua was very sure.

"Is there any danger?" Lin Bai asked again.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, I assure you that there is no danger." Huang Ruhua said confidently, "As long as I am alive, I will never let you suffer any harm."

Why is she so confident? They were originally three Qi trainers, plus Zhu Yumao, could they break the golden elixir formation? Even if the power of the formation was reduced a lot, it would be very difficult. Lin Bai frowned slightly, thinking.

Lin Bai didn't want to go in his heart, but since Zhu Yumao was suppressed by the other party this time, it was necessary for him to go.

Zhu Yumao was honest and kind, and he was a goody-goody, but he was really good to him and helped him a lot.

Lin Bai was also a grateful person, so he should find a way to rescue him.

It's just that Huang Ruhua's team was really wrong. Lin Bai couldn't see what was wrong, but he felt that Huang Ruhua was a little crazy.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai felt that he should meet with Senior Zhu Jianyang.

First, it was related to the Zhu family, and second, Senior Zhu Jianyang was kind, so there was no need to worry about leaking Huang Ruhua's secrets.

"When will Huang Daoyou leave again?" Lin Bai spoke after a long pause.

"Within ten days. Actually, I came back this time to find two helpers and to buy some other things." Huang Ruhua said with a little excitement, "Now that you are at the sixth level of Qi training, you can do it alone. If you don't go, I will have to spend more effort to find someone else." Lin Bai looked thoughtful again, and after a long time, he said, "Can you let me think about it?" Then he smiled and said, "This is not a trivial matter. I have to consider everything." "Of course." Huang Ruhua saw Lin Bai's intention and looked happy. "Daoyou, don't worry too much. What you get from this trip will never be a loss to you." After a few more words, Lin Bai sent Huang Ruhua out of the cave. As soon as he came out, he saw Jiang Chun coming towards him. Huang Ruhua and Lin Bai saluted, and Jiang Chun returned the salute. "Daoyou Yun, the matter of the earth fire is done!" Jiang Chun held Lin Bai's arm. "Thank you, brother Jiang, I can make progress in the way of alchemy again!" Lin Bai was very grateful. Huang Ruhua saw that they had something to say in private, so she nodded to Lin Bai and walked away.

"Follow me!" Jiang Chun led the way and continued to walk south.

After walking for a while, there were flowers and green trees, and no one else.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, I spent a lot of effort this time." Jiang Chun stopped under the flower tree and sighed.

This is for benefits! Lin Bai gritted his teeth and silently thought: If earning spirit stones is not for buying, then what is the point of earning spirit stones?

He took out a medium-grade spirit stone with a bottle of Gujing Pills.

Jiang Chun accepted it with satisfaction and whispered: "Is the pill gone?"

This refers to the Tiger Wolf Pill.

"No." Lin Bai sighed, "I have no more to use."

Jiang Chun nodded and smiled, and said nothing more, and continued to lead the way.

After walking for a while, they came to a cave.

Jiang Chun talked with the gatekeeper for a few words and took Lin Bai in.

The cave was even hotter. After walking for a while, Jiang Chun reminded him, "Remember this. Most people who make alchemy and equipment are not very good at understanding people and are a bit dull. So you are also obsessed with alchemy. Do you understand?"

I understand. Act simple and honest, and then sympathize with each other!

"I understand." Lin Bai agreed.

The cave gradually went down. There were small cave branches on both sides, and there were knocking sounds.

Whenever he met someone of the same clan by chance, Jiang Chun would always deal with it and no one would question him. On the contrary, they all bowed politely.

It can be seen that the Jiang family is indeed a strict family upbringing.

After walking for about half a mile in a zigzag way, I don’t know how deep I went into the ground, but I felt that it was getting hotter and hotter. Even as a monk, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

After a little tea work, the front suddenly opened up, and a huge cave with a radius of one hundred feet appeared.

There was a raging fire burning in the middle. There are four large cauldrons standing on all sides, and four young people are guarding them.

"Chunzi!" A young man stepped forward, pointed at Lin Bai, and said with a smile, "Is this the fellow you say is obsessed with alchemy?"

Jiang Chun smiled and said: "Exactly."

Lin Bai bowed and looked dull.

The young man glanced at Lin Bai again and said, "My ancestor has not returned home yet. Hurry up. Also, don't get too close, otherwise you will be poisoned by fire." After saying that, he put his arm around Jiang Chun's shoulder and walked toward him. He walked aside and said in a low voice: "I heard that my little sister is now a businessman and is very promising. She is already selling Tiger Wolf Pills to people. What are you going to tell me about..."

Lin Bai saluted him again, then stepped forward and slowly approached the source of the earth fire.

When he came five feet away, he couldn't get any closer, so he sat down cross-legged. Burning fire, extremely hot. Lin Bai felt that his mouth was dry, his whole body was hot, his hair was slightly burnt, and his butt was almost cooked.

After staring at it for a while, I felt my eyes sting again, and I couldn't stop crying.

Then his consciousness reached out, and after only five breaths, he felt a tingling pain in his head. Then the spiritual power dissipated, and he tried to wrap up a ball of earth fire, but he failed.

This is the real earth fire! It seems to have the intention of burning everything.

Fire itself has the meaning of destruction, but it is also endless. It can destroy all kinds of beasts in the mountains and forests, and will not stop as long as there is something flammable.

It can also be used to refine pills and utensils. Whether it is destroyed or reborn depends on how people use it.

Lin Bai came to the stone plate, and the subtle spiritual energy squeezed in from outside the mist, which was red in color and scorching. It was much richer than the spiritual energy in his own cave, and the fire energy was even more abundant.

If a person with fire in his natal life practices here, he will really get twice the result with half the effort.

Calming his mind, the surrounding mist slowly came in, then outlined the shape of the earth fire, and soon became the power of the earth fire.

In the past, when practicing alchemy, the earth fire only had its shape but not its meaning. This time the earth fire is much stronger than when the alchemy was made, but it does not have the meaning of burning and annihilation.

Lin Bai carefully recalled the meaning of earth fire that he had just felt, and slowly added it to the mist.

The ground fire suddenly grew stronger, but only jumped a few times before dissipating without a trace.

Opening his eyes, Lin Bai observed and experienced again, completely ignoring the burning sensation on his body.

After doing this for dozens of times, I finally got something, and got a slight sense of the meaning contained in the earth fire.

On the stone plate, dots of moonlight appeared on the surrounding fog.

Lin Bai stood on the edge, and a raging fire burned in the center of the stone plate. Although it has the form of fire, it has little meaning of earth and fire.

After all, the time is too short to engrave its meaning on the stone plate.

"Take your time and practice a little bit, and you can always achieve something."

Lin Bai comforted himself and remembered the pure sword intention he saw in Fengming Pavilion.

The turbulence of the earth fire has the meaning of destruction and endlessness, which is a natural thing; and the pure sword intention, unsullied and flawless, is more of the enlightenment of the mind.

The difficulty of understanding the two is different. The latter is difficult, but the former is much simpler.

"Such a pure sword intention, no matter whether the sword intention is obtained from one's own destiny or realized from external objects, the person must be extremely pure."

Lin Bai longed for it, but it was too far, so he had better start with the ground fire.

"If you can use the Fire Lin Sword as a matchmaker and add a bit of the burning and annihilating meaning of earth fire, you will be the best in the same realm."

Lin Bai became more and more confident. Although he was still far from it, he had a slight understanding of the meaning of earth fire. As long as he slowly carved it on the stone plate, he would eventually succeed.

Soon an hour passed and Jiang Chun came to shout.

Lin Bai stood up, his clothes had been damaged by the heat, and his hair was also burnt.

"You're trying your best." The Jiang family disciple who came with Jiang Chun said with a smile.

"I couldn't miss this opportunity, so I just watched it for a while." Lin Bai said with a smile.

The young man smiled but said no more.

Lin Bai changed his clothes and followed Jiang Chun out.

After returning to his cave, Lin Bai was not in a hurry to go out and continued to practice meditation on the stone plate.

One day later, Lin Bai went out.

Arriving at Fengming Pavilion and going up to the second floor, Lin Bai saluted Zhu Jianyang.

"There is still fire left in you, but something went wrong in the alchemy?" Zhu Jianyang asked with great concern.

"That's not true." Lin Bai explained with a smile: "I went to the Jiang family's underground fire cave and saw the source of his fire."

"That's it." Zhu Jianyang nodded slightly, "I guess I will gain something, and it will be beneficial to alchemy refining in the future, right?"

"really."

Lin Bai smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Senior, someone invited me out. That person is probably the same group as the two casual cultivators who took Brother Yu Mao away."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuling looked surprised and asked, "How do you know they are in the same group?"

Zhu Jianyang also looked at Lin Bai curiously.

Lin Bai immediately explained, focusing on the important matters regarding the pill gift, Huang Ruhua's invitation, and even her efforts to seek the formation master.

"I can't say for sure, but I just thought about it. It's definitely not such a coincidence. They are both formation seekers, and the number of them is about the same." Lin Bai sighed and said, "That's why, I suspect that those who are traveling with them The person who knows the formation must be Brother Yumao."

For a moment, no one spoke in the room.

After a long time, Zhu Yuling sighed and didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhu Jianyang looked at Lin Bai and asked, "What are your plans?"

"Brother Yumao is friends with me. I didn't know his whereabouts before, so that's fine. But now that I know, and he may be in danger, I should go and take a look."

Lin Bai expressed his thoughts and added: "If it is really him, then think about how to save him. If it is not him, then he should go out and try his luck."

"This matter was brought about by Yumao himself." Zhu Jianyang smiled and said: "You are now successful in alchemy, your cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds, and your achievements will be even higher in the future. There is no need to take risks."

Lin Bai sighed and said, "I think so too, but I can't feel at peace in my heart. If I really don't know, that's okay. But now that I know but don't let go, I feel really uneasy."

Seeing Lin Bai's frank words, Zhu Jianyang nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and gently threw out a jade talisman.

Lin Bai took the jade talisman and didn't know why.

"If you are in danger, just crush it." Zhu Jianyang said with a smile.

Lin Bai understood that Senior Zhu Jianyang was planning to follow.

"Yes." Lin Bai stood up and saluted.

When Lin Bai left, Zhu Jianyang sat motionless, but Zhu Yuling frowned and circled around Zhu Jianyang.

"Uncle, do you really want to go?" Zhu Yuling had a headache.

"Of course I want to go." Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and smiled, "Yumao is my nephew and belongs to the Zhu family, so why don't we just leave him alone?"

"We don't have many foundation builders left, you..." Zhu Yuling hesitated, her eyes filled with sadness.

"You must know that one's life is full of anger." Zhu Jianyang's voice was gentle and calm, "Our family is in decline, and if anything happens, it will hurt our muscles and bones. But if you see your own family members in trouble and don't go to rescue, you are full of anger. It’s gone. Wouldn’t it be more difficult to regain the glory of our ancestors in the future? We are not those desperate and aggressive cultivators, but we can’t lose the courage to fight for our lives.”

"Of course I know this truth..." Zhu Yuling was still very anxious, "But if I just listened to someone's words, what if he... He was very fond of our words that day. He read them over and over again, and he couldn't wait to stop them. Come down."

"That word has been released home, what are you worried about?" Zhu Jianyang shook his head, with a bit of disgust in his eyes, "You are not showing off your path, and your vision has also been lowered. He likes that word because he is sincerely happy and sees the wise. Qi. Anyone who is aspiring to the truth is willing to take a second look. Although he likes it, he has no greed for it. I have lived for more than a hundred years and am not blind. "

Seeing that Zhu Jianyang's tone was getting impatient, Zhu Yuling did not dare to say anything.

"If we can bring Yu Mao back this time, let him guard this store. You can go back to your hometown!" Zhu Jianyang said.
