The Wheel-Turning Master

This cave is about five meters high and covered with a dome, like a tomb.

The cave wall is dark brown dry loess, neat and smooth, not artificially made, but like a cicada pupa bit by bit.

There are nine caves, except for the way they came, no one knows where they lead to.

All you can see here is earth yellow, and the fluorite is also a light yellow light. There is no sense of depth, but it adds a bit of weirdness.

"We have entered the formation." Lin Bai said.

Qu Ruyi slightly circulated her spiritual power, and there was indeed a sense of condensation.

When she heard the cicada chirping just now, she hurriedly retreated, and there was nothing wrong with her body at that time.

But after just a few breaths, there was a change, which means that the formation has just been opened, perhaps with the cicada chirping as a signal.

Qu Ruyi frowned and urged her spiritual power to touch the cicada. But when the spiritual power was five meters away from the cicada, it disappeared like a drop in the ocean.

He used his spiritual sense to explore again, but there was no obstruction, but he could not see any clues. He only felt that the jade cicada was an ordinary thing.

He scanned the corpse on the ground again, and there was indeed no sound. He didn't know how long he had been dead.

"Take the jade cicada on the wooden stake as the center of the circle, and don't go within five feet."

Qu Ruyi was very cautious and asked again: "But where did this formation come from? We can't get within five feet of the jade cicada. Why did Senior Mu Yao leave a formation?"

"It wasn't left by the wood demon." Lin Bai made an inference, "Besides us, there are others. This must be arranged by the other party in a hurry." As he spoke, he looked at the other eight deep caves.

"Then should we retreat?" Qu Ruyi immediately alerted, holding the small green jade Ruyi, and took a defensive posture.

"How do you know there is no one behind?" Lin Bai stared at the jade cicada and whispered: "Protect me."

After speaking, Lin Bai closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.

The mist was wrapped in a thick layer of dry dark yellow color, as if covered by thick bark.

This is not a deduction, but an isolation effect.

"The reaction to the dodge of danger and the pursuit of good fortune is gone, so this is the reason."

As soon as the mind moved, the mist surged, tearing a small crack in the dark yellow color.

Lin Bai immediately felt a faint feeling in his heart, that there would be a fatal crisis.

"It's not that the stone plate is not good, it's me. If my cultivation is higher and I have more control over this place, this dark yellow color will not have the effect of isolation at all."

"But when I was on the ground just now, the stone plate was normal, why didn't I feel anything in my heart? Is it because I entered the cave and triggered some changes?"

Lin Bai pondered for a while, but nothing came out, so he opened his eyes.

There was still no abnormality around, and the spiritual power was more stagnant.

Qu Ruyi's Ruyi in his hand emitted a faint green light, and the other hand pinched a piece of talisman paper and threw it out.

The talisman paper quickly burned up in the air, and Lin Bai immediately felt his mind calm, but the effect of the formation was still there.

"We are passing by here, and we have no ill intentions. Please show yourself!" Lin Bai shouted loudly.

The voice lingered in the cave for a long time, and the lingering sound did not fade away.

Soon, three people walked out of a cave.

The leader was in his forties, with the foundation-building cultivation; the other two were both practicing Qi, and they were quite young.

"Whose children are you? What are you doing here?" The middle-aged foundation-building cultivator asked coldly.

Before Qu Ruyi could answer, someone else spoke: "Why are you talking to them?"

The voice was rough and dry, and the person did not know which cave he was hiding in, but the lingering sound echoed in the cave.

"This girl must have come here with a revelation from heaven! Force them to get close to the jade cicada first! They have no reinforcements!" The voice spoke again.

Lin Bai and Qu Ruyi immediately understood that the other party also wanted to take the jade cicada, but did not know the method, and wanted to force people to try.

In this case, there was no room for negotiation. The secret treasure is ahead, and it is related to the Great Dao, so there is absolutely no reason to give in.

The person who has not appeared must also be a foundation-building person, and has already blocked the retreat.

The opponent has at least two foundation-building people, and they did not underestimate the enemy because Lin Bai and Qu Ruyi were practicing Qi. Instead, they set up a formation and cut off the retreat.

Too stable!

Lin Bai knew that this was a life-and-death situation, so he didn't waste any words. The Fire Scale Sword flew out, and the red color was very strong, driving the earth fire, and went to the middle-aged foundation-building person.

Not seeking success, but seeking to know the strength of the other party.

"Yi Mu Qing Gang! Get up!" The middle-aged foundation-building person did not show any flaws, but was very steady. A green shadow even covered the two Qi-training juniors behind him.

The Fire Scale Sword hit the green wood shadow with a decisive momentum, leaving only a black mark.

Lin Bai recalled the flying sword, thinking that if all casual cultivators were as steady as you, I would never go out in the future!

"He has understood the meaning of earth fire after practicing Qi for such a short time. He is really capable." After the middle-aged man easily blocked the attack, he did not forget to teach the two juniors behind him, "Watch carefully, don't underestimate the world! Just now, it was your turn. Can you block his attack?"

"He can't stop him at all!" The hiding man spoke again, saying sinisterly: "This kid has understood the endless burning meaning of the earth fire. Your two nephews have no chance of winning!"

The two young men who practiced Qi gritted their teeth, obviously angry.

The hiding man laughed twice and said: "If it weren't for the dead wood cicada in front, I would like to take this kid as my mantle!"

The voice came from nowhere, and the lingering sound continued.

"Don't be arrogant!" Qu Ruyi stepped forward and shouted in a delicate voice: "Let me do it!"

She stepped past Lin Bai and stepped forward. The jade Ruyi in her hand emitted a soft light, and there was a sense of coolness and tranquility around.

Then a green flying sword flew towards the middle-aged foundation-building person, but her momentum was much weaker than Lin Bai's. She was clearly not proficient in swordsmanship and rarely fought.

"This girl must be a disciple of the sect, and she rarely sees blood."

The shadow of Qingmu appeared in front of the middle-aged foundation-building master, "She is so weak, like a three-year-old child!" He stepped forward and pushed out with one hand, "Watch me capture..."

Before he finished speaking, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned around to retreat, but it was too late.

The majestic sword intent surged, as if to cut through the world.

The middle-aged foundation-building master took out a branch of Qingmu to block in front of him, but it was useless. The Qingmu turned into dust in an instant.

The sword force did not decrease at all.

There was a loud rumbling sound. The cave shook and stirred up thick dust.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Qu Ruyi was extremely decisive. He threw out a powerful talisman right away, as if he had no intention of keeping a backhand!

This rich sister's fighting style shocked Lin Bai. He threw out a talisman, and the cave was filled with water, and the smoke and dust quickly dissipated.

The middle-aged foundation-building master and the two Qi-training juniors had disappeared without a trace.

The bloodstains left on the ground were also covered by dust.

The three of them didn't even leave their bodies intact, and there was no trace of flesh and blood.

A large part of the cave collapsed, covering a cave.

The dead tree stump in the middle was motionless, and the jade cicada on it was not stained with dust. The corpse and mole next to it were also motionless, as if they were not affected by the talisman.

Lin Bai found that his spiritual power was no longer stagnant, and it seemed that the formation was also broken.

Qu Ruyi leaned against the cave wall, her face pale, and took out a handful of pills with trembling hands and stuffed them all into her mouth. When she saw Lin Bai looking at her, she even forced a smile, as if to say: Are you scared by the golden elixir sword?

Lin Bai was not scared. The sword just now was indeed powerful, but he had seen it on the Golden Turtle Island.

That was the attack of the golden elixir sword cultivator Po Yunzi!

The man in hiding did not make a sound, and it was unknown whether he was stunned or for some other reason.

Qu Ruyi held the Qingyu Ruyi in his hand, and his face gradually turned red, but he was still panting.

Lin Bai held the Huolin Sword in his hand, and was on guard.

Soon, a hot air suddenly arose in the cave. There was an angry shout, and a red-haired man broke out of the collapsed cave.

This man looked rough, in his forties or fifties, with a naked upper body and strong muscles and bones.

There were flames on his body, and his momentum was clearly in the late stage of foundation building!

That's not all. When the red-haired foundation building settled, two more people flew out from behind him.

An old woman who was building a foundation, and a young man who was practicing qi. They were Zhu Jianshui and Zhu Yushu.

When the aunt and nephew saw Lin Bai, they didn't say anything, as if they didn't recognize him.

Lin Bai did the same, just guarding in front of Qu Ruyi.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, you and I might as well deal with these two people first, and then talk about your younger generation!" The red-haired foundation building looked at Zhu Jianshui.

"I'm here to find someone, not to kill someone!" Zhu Jianshui snorted coldly, "You kill yourself, what does it have to do with me?"

She and Zhu Yushu stood in a corner, and the two looked at the corpse in the middle of the cave.

"Okay, okay!" The red-haired foundation-building man laughed wildly twice, his eyes sinister, looking at Qu Ruyi, and said coldly: "Are you Po Yunzi's disciple?"

"That's right!" Qu Ruyi sneered in response, "Do you want to try the golden elixir attack?"

The red-haired foundation-building man's eyes reflected fire, his naked upper body was dark red, and he shouted: "I want to try it!"

As he spoke, the phantom of the fire unicorn appeared behind him.

The cave suddenly became extremely hot, as if it was about to burn out of thin air.

"Go!" The red-haired foundation-building man was ready to fight a tiger, his blood and energy increased sharply, and he pressed his hands forward.

A phantom of the fire unicorn roared and ran towards Lin Qu and the others.

It is obvious that this red-haired foundation-building man is fighting a rabbit with all his strength.

Lin Bai had no way to resist. Although he had understood a little bit of the meaning of earth and fire, the other party was also of the fire element. Moreover, the purity of the fire meaning and the level of the realm were all better than his.

Targeted!

Just as he was about to take out the protective talisman given by Sister Zhen, he was pushed away by Qu Ruyi. She held the green jade Ruyi in one hand and threw out another talisman in the other.

In an instant, the water in the cave rose, and a black turtle phantom appeared, bringing endless water meaning.

The phantom of the fire unicorn hit the black turtle, then dimmed and disappeared.

The momentum of the black turtle did not stop, and there was a strange light in its eyes.

The red-haired foundation-building did not flee either. His naked body became more and more red, and the phantom of the fire unicorn behind him became more and more powerful.

The black turtle talisman was originally mainly for defense, but it was still the power of the golden elixir.

"Qu Chengjia! Ah! Look at me, Qilin, against the black turtle!" Flames rose from the body of the red-haired foundation-building man, and fine blood beads burst out. He pushed out his hands fiercely, and the fire Qilin behind him struggled forward, and actually resisted the momentum of the black turtle.

The mist in the field rose, and the burning feeling became stronger.

This man was really fierce, and everyone in the field was horrified.

Zhu Jianshui and his nephew looked at each other, and then retreated a few steps, close to a cave, as if ready to escape.

"Po Yunzi, Qu Chengjia, one attack and one defense, it's really rare!" The red-haired foundation-building man's Taoist robe was disheveled, and his upper body was covered with blood, and red flames emerged from time to time.

He laughed loudly and took out a fist-sized stone statue.

The stone statue was in the shape of a Qilin, blood-red, and exuded an extremely strong and hot fire.

"The black tortoise is gone, how much skill do you still have?"

The red-haired foundation-building man laughed wildly, "Disciple of the Yunxia Sect, do you have any backup plan?"

Qu Ruyi collapsed to the ground, her face was pale. She used the talisman twice, and her Qi Sea was empty, and she couldn't even stand steadily.

Lin Bai stood in front of her, thinking about how to escape.

"Get up!" The red-haired foundation-building man held the Qilin Stone Zun with one hand and pointed at the stone Zun with the other hand.

The Qilin Stone Zun's eyes were dark red, showing fire. The shadow of the Fire Qilin appeared behind him.

"Go out!"

The red-haired Ji Zhu shouted loudly, the stone statue in his hand trembling. The unicorn shadow behind him galloped forward, holding the stone statue in its mouth.

Taking advantage of the power of the stone statue, the fire unicorn suddenly grew in size, its power became more obvious, and its fire became more powerful.

"What a trick!" Qu Ruyi forced herself to sit up. She held the sapphire Ruyi tightly in both hands and sent it forward. She shouted: "Ruyi, Ruyi, whatever I want! Decide!"

In an instant, the qilin shadow that contained infinite fire actually stood still and immediately disappeared without a trace.

Only one stone statue in the shape of a unicorn fell to the ground.

At the same time, the Fire Lin Sword in Lin Bai's hand buzzed, turning into fire and heading towards the red-haired foundation.

The red-haired Foundation Builder seemed unable to move and could not avoid it. But his eyes were extremely red, and countless blood beads burst out from his body. Then the body ignited with scorching fire, turning the blood beads into blood.

His beard and hair were spread out, his upper body was covered with blood and fire, and his eyes were even more flaming, like a demon.

For a moment, the red-haired foundation-building aura suddenly rose, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to catch the Fire Lin Sword!

"Friend Liu Dao! I'm here to help you!" Zhu Jianshui's body was surrounded by water, and a green long sword flew out, driving endless waves of water towards Lin Bai!

"Old man, what's the use of you..." Before he could finish his words, he felt a chill in his body. A long sword passed through his body, and vines were wrapped around his feet and knees.

The sword has the meaning of endless water waves, and the vines borrow the meaning of water and are entangled endlessly.

At the same time, the green sword that hit Lin Bai turned towards the red-haired foundation.

"How dare you?" The red-haired Zhuji was furious. He blocked the Fire Lin Sword with one hand and caught the cyan flying sword with the other.

The bloody hole in his chest was burning, as if he didn't feel any pain, and the fire in his body became even stronger. The vines on his legs were ignited by the fire and disappeared without a trace.

Throwing the sword to the ground, the red-haired Ji Ji turned into fire like a madman and rushed towards Zhu Jianshui.

Zhu Jianshui did not run away, but took out a huge alchemy furnace and placed it in front of him.

The whole body of the red-haired Ji Ji was ignited with dazzling fire, and the alchemy furnace was instantly enveloped in fire, immediately burning Zhu Jianshui's body.

Zhu Jianshui was not good at fighting, and he was old. Although the water in his body was strong, it could not cover the fire.

"How long can you last if you activate the fire of life?" Zhu Jianshui shouted angrily.

"How many of our casual cultivators can die a good death? My life will not survive, and I will burn the sky and the earth until the end!"

The red-haired Zhuji laughed wildly, stretched out his palm to press down, and knocked Zhu Jianshui to the ground. When he saw Zhu Yushu making the seal, he shouted: "And you!" With a wave of his hand, a thin fire hit his eyebrows. "Don't you know how powerful the fire is in Mu Zeng? How dare you trap me with vines?"

A ball of flame arose between Zhu Yushu's eyebrows, and then disappeared without a trace. But there seemed to be a huge burning sensation within his body, as if his body was on fire.

The red-haired Foundation Builder was like a madman. Seeing that all the Zhu family's aunt and nephew had fallen to the ground, the fire in his body became even stronger, and he actually started laughing wildly.

Lin Bai had no injuries on his body, so he beckoned for the Fire Lin Sword, joined his body and sword, and headed towards Chifa Zhiji.

"The realm is too low, even if there is earth fire, it is vulnerable to a blow!" Red-haired Foundation Builder was already desperate for his life. His whole body was covered with blood and fire, but he allowed the Fire Lin Sword to pass through his body, and then he launched a palm and slapped Lin Bai. .

For a moment, Lin Bai was on fire, hit the cave wall, and fell to the ground again.

The red-haired man did not stop building the foundation at all, and the two blood holes in his chest were smoldering. He stepped forward and looked at Qu Ruyi.

Qu Ruyi collapsed to the ground, and the sapphire Ruyi in her hand had long lost its luster.

"You are just here to look for opportunities to build a foundation. It is a talisman and a secret treasure. Why don't you bring your Yunxia Sect's Nascent Soul with you?"

The red-haired Ji Zhu did not kill her, but only grabbed Qu Ruyi's hair, "So what if there are many babies? Can you still cry to your mother now?" He grabbed Qu Ruyi's hair and headed towards the center of the cave.

Qu Ruyi had no strength to resist and couldn't even speak.

The red-haired Zhuji gasped for air, spurting out blood from time to time, but was immediately ignited by the fire. The sword wound on his chest was also on fire, but the water had not subsided and he could not stop the bleeding.

For a moment, everyone in the venue was shocked.

Most of Lin Bai's hair was burned off, and his monk's robe was torn, revealing black charcoal and blood-red skin.

However, although he looked seriously injured, he was not seriously injured. Although he cultivates the earth fire intention, it is difficult to hurt the other party, but his own body has also been tempered by the spiritual energy of fire, so the fire intention cannot harm himself.

It's just that his cultivation level is too low, and the other party tried his best to strike with all his life, that's why he was in such a mess.

Zhu Jianshui sat cross-legged on the ground, the flames on his body were no longer visible, but he was just as embarrassed. Even so, she still put her hand on the Zhu Yushu Tianling Cap, as if to drive away the fire.

"go!"

The red-haired Zhuji dragged Qu Ruyi until he reached the dead tree stump five feet away without stopping.

The two of them entered within five feet, and a little water pattern seemed to open up. The cicadas started chirping again, and the fire on the red-haired Zhuji became more intense.

Qu Ruyi's hair was pulled by him, and most of it had burned off. But the remaining hair turned gray.

The red-haired Foundation Builder's steps slowed down, and his body became rickety. The fire of life has burned out and extinguished, revealing its original appearance.

However, wrinkles soon appeared on his face, and his whole body withered. "Even if you carry countless secret treasures, you can't escape death."

After speaking, he stumbled to the ground, his eyes reflected flames, and his wrinkled hands like chicken feet stretched out to Yu Chan.

His eyes were extremely cloudy, and he shed a few tears of blood because he wanted something he couldn't get.

Qu Ruyi was also lying on the ground, her hair was white as snow, her face was covered with wrinkles, and her hands were withered.

"My destiny is going well, how can I not be happy?" Qu Ruyi's voice was extremely old, and she grabbed the ground with both hands and struggled forward.

Soon, blood was drawn out of both hands, and then bones appeared.

She didn't care about the pain of her flesh and blood, but she didn't stop, and used her chin to push forward.

"I can't ask for it..." A sneer appeared on the old face of the red-haired foundation-building master.

Qu Ruyi ignored it. She struggled for a long time and finally came to the dead tree stump.

She stretched out her left hand with exposed bones and flesh, and put it on the stump, but it seemed that she couldn't exert any strength anymore.

"Your spiritual orifice is closed, your face is old, you have lost the opportunity to build your foundation, and you are just waiting to die." The foundation-building master took his last breath and laughed out loud.

"How do you know?"

Qu Ruyi tried her best and finally pressed the black jade cicada with her hand. She seemed to have strength, "Before I came, my junior sister had told me a fortune."

She looked at the red-haired foundation-building master and smiled. The old wrinkles slowly receded, and the white hair turned black, "Nine combined into one, living towards death."

Qu Ruyi picked up the jade cicada and sat cross-legged on the spot, no longer old.

She leaned forward slightly, looked at the foundation-building man, and said, "There are nine caves and nine people here, which should add up to nine. You and I are old and frail, and we should live towards death." She showed a naive smile of a young girl, but she was still pale, and it was obvious that her spiritual power had not recovered.

The red-haired foundation-building man stretched out his arms, his eyes were turbid and dull, "Live towards death, live towards death..." he muttered, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

After he finished speaking, blood and tears kept flowing in his eyes, and he died.

This man was so domineering and powerful that everyone on the field had never seen him before. Now people feel relieved when they die.

Qu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.

Lin Bai was dirty and torn, with a lot of blood and flesh burnt black, but he seemed to be fine.

The aunt and nephew of the Zhu family sat cross-legged on the spot, and they didn't move at all.

"What a living towards death."

A dry voice sounded, and the corpse on the ground moved and slowly sat up.

Qu Ruyi looked horrified. She held the black cicada and staggered towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was also horrified: he had scanned this person with his spiritual sense before, and he had clearly been dead for a long time!

The aunt and nephew of the Zhu family widened their eyes.

The dead body sat up, his hair was white, his face was dry and decayed.

"Yuyan?" Zhu Yushu stood up, his voice trembling.

"He is not Yuyan." Zhu Jianshui's old face was also horrified.

"Zhu Yuyan is very good, the child is diligent and honest, I like him very much."

The corpse laughed dryly, "If it weren't for him, I would have been killed by the dead wood cicada." As he spoke, he tore open his clothes with both hands and opened his belly.

Then a hand covered with yellow turbid corpse water stretched out.

Sizzling, another hand. Then people squeezed out. They were extremely thin, like a child, but their faces were old, with beards on their chins.

His body was covered in dirty corpse water, and his hair was dripping wet. He licked the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"What kind of evil method is this?" Qu Ruyi's voice was trembling.

"This is not an evil method." The man laughed, "This is the innate magical power."

"I have never heard of it." Qu Ruyi frowned.

"It's just a way for casual cultivators to survive, which is not presentable. You, a descendant of a noble family, naturally don't know." The man laughed and took out a few pills to swallow.

"Your innate amber?" Zhu Jianshui suddenly asked.

"Is there anyone who knows it?" The man looked at Zhu Jianshui and nodded politely, "If you are not living in amber, how can you avoid the secret skills of the dead wood cicada?"
