The Wheel-Turning Master

Chapter 143 Now that we are here

Lin Bai was very surprised, why did these sworn enemies come to the door together? Didn't they get into a fight on the road?

Yao Qianyuan looked at Lin Bai curiously, looking down at Pei Ning from time to time, seeming envious but also unwilling.

Gai Yingqiu had a smile on her face, but there seemed to be bitterness in her smile, and she didn't know if she was thinking of Yang Shu.

Zhu Yumao slipped Miaomiaoti outside the courtyard and was teaching him carefully.

Pei Ning stood under the plum tree and said nothing.

"Junior sister, how does it feel to build a foundation?" Yao Qianyuan asked Pei Ning sourly when she saw that Lin Bai didn't come to offer bribes.

"I haven't built a foundation yet," Peining said coldly.

"But you have slept there!" Yao Qianyuan stepped forward, took Peining's hand, and looked at it carefully, tut-tutting, "It needs to be moisturized by the foundation to make it whiter."

Peining had a headache.

Here Lin Bai reached out to Gai Yingqiu and invited her to talk aside.

"Why did Senior Sister come here all the way?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"In our generation of monks, those who are successful come first. From now on, don't call me senior sister." Gai Yingqiu knows better etiquette than Yao Qianyuan.

"It's just foundation building." Lin Bai immediately said seriously, "In my heart, senior sister will always be senior sister. We know each other, and it has nothing to do with realm."

"You are so honest." Gai Yingqiu smiled and shook her head, becoming more cheerful. She smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with this time. It's just that Pei Ning didn't come back for a few days, so the teacher came to ask me. I just I went to look for that bitch again, and finally found Fengming Pavilion. I heard Zhu Yumao said that I had established a foundation, so I decided to come and take a look." When she said this, she said seriously: "Junior Sister Pei, Xiao Bi, Da Bi is one. He is already the most outstanding among the casual cultivators who have just started. If the master is worried, you don’t need to worry too much.”

"That's it." Lin Bai was relieved. He was afraid that the Tianchi faction would cause trouble and get involved in the vixen's troubles.

"Also," Gai Yingqiu looked at Lin Bai and said with a smile, "the elders in the family already know about you."

"Is there any hindrance?" Lin Bai discussed this matter with Peining. According to Sister Pei, she said that if the Tianchi faction insisted on taking control, she would simply run away.

"If it had been in the past, I'm afraid there would have been some gossip in the door." Gai Yingqiu smiled slightly, "But now that you have established the foundation and are an alchemy master, there will be no hindrance. Besides, with me and that bitch, we can make a difference. "You two don't have to worry, just be happy." She smiled happily, but also felt lonely, as if she was sad that she couldn't be happy with Yang Shu.

"Thank you, senior sister. You and I are close friends. We are gentlemen, and we are not involved in mundane matters, but I let you work hard on my affairs." Lin Bai sighed.

"I have read the letter you wrote to me several times. Since you regard me as a confidant, how can I betray you?" Gai Yingqiu was very serious, "Do you want to join my family? My ancestor is the most I love to guide young heroes. If you want to join the Tianchi Sect, I, my ancestor, will accept you as my disciple."

She was so sincere that Lin Bai felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she acted too much like him.

But forget about joining the Tianchi Sect. Gai Chengfei was on good terms with Gao Yuanyuan, and Lin Bai had a lot of secrets about him, so he really didn't dare to get too close to Jin Dan.

"Senior Sister's kindness is deeply appreciated." Lin Bai sighed and said sincerely: "Your ancestor is a famous sword cultivator, but I am an alchemy master. If I become a disciple, I am afraid that I will make your ancestor angry from time to time. "Besides, how can I trouble you to move around?" Lin Bai looked at Gai Yingqiu with sincerity and said, "You and I are close friends, so I don't need to hide it from you. The etiquette of the sects and families in the mountain does not like to fight and kill. Although I have a knife and a sword in my hand, it is just a show of force. I have never been cruel to anyone, and I have never seen blood. "

"That's good. Junior Sister Pei is fierce, but you are a gentle person. The two of them are in harmony with each other, which is in line with the yin and yang." Gai Yingqiu was very emotional after hearing this, and she felt more and more that Lin Bai was a frank and good person.

Lin Bai saw that she was getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly asked with concern: "Sister, don't just talk about me, how are you and Senior Brother Yang doing recently?"

Lin Bai used to call Yang Shu his senior, but now that he has successfully established the foundation, he calls him his senior brother.

This time I asked Gai Yingqiu casually. Previously, he wanted to get something, but now that Gai Yingqiu was so sincere, Lin Bai felt embarrassed.

However, after a few months, Gai Yingqiu should have saved up enough. Lin Bai thought about it, he still had to accept the things, but he needed to return the favor properly.

"Alas." Gai Yingqiu shook her head and looked up at Qianshan Muyun, "Although you and Junior Sister Pei can't see each other every day, you can always see each other every one or two months, and your feelings are very deep. Luan and Phoenix sing in harmony. . And I...well, I went to Zhutao Garden to look for him several times, but I couldn't see him once."

Lin Bai immediately showed a righteous and awe-inspiring expression and said, "Senior Brother Yang has let down the kindness of a beautiful woman like this. I am really angry!"

"Don't talk about him like that." Gai Yingqiu immediately defended Yang Shu. She said seriously: "He has a great heart and is busy with various affairs. He is naturally busy. I don't ask to be by his side all the time, but only every few days." It would be nice if Yue could take a look at him from afar."

Lin Bai could not understand, but was greatly shocked.

"Senior sister, do you need me to send a message?" Lin Bai could only follow Gai Yingqiu's words.

"..." Gai Yingqiu became embarrassed. She looked at Lin Bai, rather shy, and whispered: "I haven't been able to take advantage of spiritual stones recently. Although I can buy the output of the sect at a cheaper price, but... She became even quieter and more embarrassed, "Good junior brother, can you lend me some spiritual stones? I will return them to you in a few months."

Lin Bai was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I dare not ask for money from my family, nor do I dare to borrow money from the sect." Gai Yingqiu's voice was quite sad, "You know, that bitch is always staring at me. She is the most mean-mouthed. If she knows that I borrow money, the whole world will know it."

Gai Yingqiu looked at Lin Bai expectantly.

Lin Bai almost softened his heart. If it was something else, he would lend it; but for this kind of thing, Lin Bai didn't have a penny.

"Senior sister, I have been running around outside in the past few months, and I also went to Mianlong Mountain. I have used up all the things I saved, and I haven't made the elixir yet. Otherwise, you wait?" Lin Bai smiled bitterly.

"Alas." Gai Yingqiu sighed.

Lin Bai didn't dare to talk to her any more, and hurried to find Yao Qianyuan and Pei Ning.

Pei Ning and Yao Qianyuan were whispering under the plum tree, and Pei Ning's face was slightly red.

"I'll find you in two days! I have something to tell you!" Yao Qianyuan smiled when she saw Lin Bai coming, and her tone was quite expectant.

Lin Bai immediately complained: "My realm is not stable now, and I was injured when I was forcibly building my foundation. I need to recuperate here for a few months."

Yao Qianyuan sneered and said: "Pei Ning's eyebrows are relaxed, and the spring spirit has not disappeared. He is not as cold as usual, but gentle. It is obvious that you two have been working day and night! Didn't you say that your realm was not stable? Didn't you say that you had internal injuries?"

Before Lin Bai had time to refute, he heard Gai Yingqiu sneer.

"Yao Qianyuan, do you still think it's the past? You are so arrogant and have no manners!" Gai Yingqiu really didn't treat Lin Bai as an outsider, "Fellow Daoist Yun has already established his foundation, and those who have achieved success are the first. You need to call him an elder! How can you say such shameless words."

"I don't know shame, but I know what self-esteem is!" Yao Qianyuan didn't give in at all, "Unlike some people, they rush to others, save money and give gifts, but don't know where they are thrown to, and don't know if they are fed to dogs!"

"Don't curse!" Lin Bai immediately got anxious.

However, Yao Qianyuan and Gai Yingqiu ignored the persuasion and started quarreling under the plum tree.

Zhu Yumao over there stopped scolding his daughter. The father and daughter watched outside the fence, and Miaomiao even applauded.

The two girls got more and more excited, exposing each other's past without any scruples.

Pei Ning didn't care about it, so he pulled Lin Bai aside to talk.

"I haven't told you these days. I'll come back in a few days. I also want to see Senior Chen's calligraphy." Pei Ning is always short-tempered.

"Then you can stay here." Lin Bai was naturally very happy.

Pei Ning glared at her, turned around and walked out, "Two senior sisters, let's go!"

Yao Qianyuan and Gai Yingqiu made a fuss for a while, then bowed to Lin Bai, and then bowed to Zhu Yumao, and the three women went west together.

Finally, Zhu Yumao took Miaomiao into the yard.

Lin Bai chatted with him for a few more words. Zhu Yumao is now working in Fengming Pavilion in Xinyifang. This time, Yao and Gai went to Fengming Mountain to find him first.

After Zhu Yumao left, Lin Bai had nothing to do, so he sat on the stone bench under the plum tree.

Miaomiao sat opposite, and the master and apprentice stared at each other.

"Master, no one is sleeping with you." Miaomiao held the whisk in her arm and poured tea for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai ignored her.

"Shall I let my aunt sleep with you?" Miaomiao waved the whisk back and forth, very happy.

She was talking about Zhu Yuqiang.

In the past few days, the little girl has been trying to curry favor with Pei Ning, calling her sister and master's wife, making Pei Ning feel very comfortable.

As soon as Pei Ning left, the girl's rebellious nature was revealed.

Lin Bai held his forehead, feeling a headache.

Was this disciple right? Just don't make trouble in the future!

Anyway, no matter what, since she can let her aunt sleep with the master, at least she is not turning her elbow outward, she is loyal to the master and is willing to relieve the master's worries.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai felt relieved.

After playing with the child for a while, Lin Bai handed her over to Zhu Yuqiang for discipline.

After another day of meditation, Lin Bai went to the old place to temper his body.

After the second turn of Hunyuan, the third turn began this time. Starting from the earth, the earth produces gold, which can be completed in the Zhu family.

After building the foundation this time, practicing again is different. It's like practicing again, and the subtle pain reappears, as if recasting the flesh and blood.

Four months passed in a blink of an eye, and the earth and gold tempering body was completed. There were changes in the skin and flesh, and as for how much change it can have, it will take another turn to see.

In the past four months, Lin Bai did not just practice in silence, but occasionally went out to chat with Zhu Yuqiang, play Miaomiao, talk with the children of the Zhu family, and talk about the experience of alchemy.

During this period, Sister Pei came once and stayed for two days before going back. Lin Bai didn't sleep much, just accompanied her to watch the words left by the Yuanying in the Zhu family's Sutra Pavilion.

Gold produces water, so we have to go to the Jiang family.

"The Jiang family is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. But for the sake of the Hunyuan method, what if I bend to the thin branches and fruits?" Lin Bai clenched his fists.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai pulled his only apprentice to the plum tree under the fence yard to teach his apprentice well.

"Master will be away for a while. You should study hard at home, learn etiquette, respect your elders, and love your brothers and sisters." Lin Bai taught earnestly.

"Yes." Miaomiao's voice was quite perfunctory.

Lin Bai was very tired and said, "When I come back, I will check your homework! If you can't answer, I will hit you!" He was very serious and put on a bad face.

Miaomiao was not afraid at all. She laughed a few times, stepped forward to pinch Lin Bai's arm, and rubbed her little face against Lin Bai's shoulder.

"Master, don't leave. Miaomiao misses you." Miaomiao looked well-behaved, and her big black eyes were pure and flawless, which made people feel pity at first sight.

Lin Bai thought of Xiu Xiu, so he couldn't bear to be cruel at all.

"I still miss my father." Miao Miao said again, she was pitiful.

"Okay, okay, Master will take you to Xinyifang to see your father." Lin Bai lost his temper.

He took his inferior apprentice to say goodbye to Zhu Yuqiang, and then to Zhu Yushu.

After leaving here, he took Miao Miao to Xinyifang.

This time, there was no need to use the purple bamboo boat, and the purple bamboo boat had been given to a young descendant of the Zhu family, named Zhu Yuhuan, who was also a promising foundation.

Back to Xinyifang, Lin Bai went to Fengming Pavilion first and handed Miao Miao to Zhu Yumao.

After a brief chat, Lin Bai complained to Zhu Yumao about Miao Miao. When Zhu Yumao took out the bamboo strips and wanted to hit Miao Miao's palm, Lin Bai ignored Miao Miao's pleading and helpless eyes and left cruelly.

He didn't go to Jiang's house, but went straight to the Crystal Palace.

Half a year has passed since I sent a letter to Qu Ruyi. I wonder what her situation is like now, and whether Gao Yuanyuan has mentioned me to her.

When I arrived at the Crystal Palace, it was the old cultivator again.

"Fellow Daoist is finally here!" The old cultivator saw Lin Bai, and he was very pleased. He bowed. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Have you succeeded in building your foundation? Congratulations."

"Thanks to fellow Daoist, I was lucky enough to build my foundation." Lin Bai smiled.

"You are destined to be here, so it should be like this." The old cultivator came from the Yuanying sect, so he was not surprised. He just smiled and took out the wooden box and handed it over, saying, "The mandarin ducks sent their feelings thousands of miles away. Fellow Daoist, you need to cherish this friendship."

Is this person more prone to wild thoughts as he gets older? Lin Bai did not dare to explain more, and just opened the wooden box to read the letter.

There were two letters. Qu Ruyi was usually long-winded. First, she hinted that Xiuxiu was fine, and then said that the jade hairpin and pearl hairpin had been received. Then she did this and that, and also said that she had picked up a lot of cicada shells, and thought of the past, and was quite emotional.

Lin Bai is not stupid, he knows that she is thinking about Yuchan again.

The second letter said that Xiuxiu was happy and sad recently, and she didn't know what happened. She couldn't tell when asked.

Lin Bai silently calculated the days. When Xiuxiu was happy and sad, it was when he lost his chance to build a foundation, and finally he had to build a foundation again.

In the way of fate, even if he could isolate himself from the deduction, Xiuxiu still felt it in his heart.

Looking back, it turned out that Qu Ruyi was scolding people.

She said that when she and Xiuxiu went to visit Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan said that we cultivators should have a free and easy heart and an unyielding will. People who have something in mind should cut through thorns and fear no hardships to accompany each other until old age.

He also said that as long as Yun Zhonghe dared to move forward, Xiao Ruyi could respond boldly, and his uncle would be there for everything.

At the end of the letter, Qu Ruyi asked what happened.

It seems that Gao Yuanyuan didn't tell Qu Ruyi in detail. Lin Bai sighed, Gao Yuanyuan was really here for something, it seems that she had left a good impression on him.

Lin Bai thought about it, asked the old cultivator for paper and pen, and wrote a reply on the spot. He didn't say much, just said that he had successfully built his foundation.

He took out the feather fan and black cicada and sealed them in a wooden box. The former was for Xiuxiu as a toy to relieve boredom; the latter was for Qu Ruyi, but the black cicada was no longer effective, and the meaning of the sealed Nascent Soul had disappeared.

After finishing his work, Lin Bai chatted with the old cultivator for a while. Thinking that the old cultivator didn't need things like Yangqi Dan and Gujing Wan, he gave him a bottle of Hulang Wan. I never thought that he liked it very much.

"I just took in the ninth concubine a few days ago, and fellow Taoist knows me." The old cultivator was very satisfied.

"..." Lin Bai could only congratulate a few words, and talked about the responsibility of the sect to pass on the inheritance of my generation.

After leaving the Crystal Palace, he went to Zhutao Garden to look for Chunyu Ye.

The method of Hunyuan body tempering, water-based spiritual energy is in the Jiang family, water produces wood, so Lin Bai came to make a reservation and keep in touch.

"I never thought that after not seeing you for a few months, you really succeeded in building your foundation. I knew you could do it." Chun Yuye was quite emotional and bowed, "You will be a senior in the future, and you must not call me sister anymore."

"It's just building a foundation. In my heart, sister will always be sister. You and I have a mutual understanding, which has nothing to do with realm." Lin Bai said immediately.

Chun Yuye became more and more happy and pulled Lin Bai into the cave to chat.

The two sat down opposite each other, prepared tea, and talked for a few words. Lin Bai said that he wanted to borrow the precious land of Zhutao Garden in two months for a short-term lease of two months.

Chun Yuye didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chun Yuye looked at Lin Bai with interest.

"Sister, do you have anything to say to me?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Chun Yuye waved his hand, but didn't say anything more.

Lin Bai said goodbye and came out, reflecting in his heart that he could no longer pretend in the future and had to be a decent person.

After strolling around Xinyifang, Lin Bai did not dare to go to Tianchi Pavilion to look for Yao Qianyuan, for fear of losing his innocence.

After returning to the Jiang family's property, Lin Bai hurriedly refined a few furnaces of Tiger and Wolf Pills before going to find Jiang Chun.

After chatting, when Jiang Chun congratulated Lin Bai on his foundation, Lin Bai immediately said shamelessly that he wanted to borrow the land of Yuhu to practice.

"It's not difficult, but now Yuhu is under the management of my little sister, and she seems to be quite unkind to you... Let me go and ask."

Jiang Chun took the Tiger and Wolf Pills and worked very hard. After a while, he came back.

"My little sister heard that you have built your foundation, so she agreed and said she wanted to see you." Jiang Chun led Lin Bai to Yuhu together.

When they arrived at the edge of Yuhu, they saw the trees on the island in the middle of the lake were green, and there were two people standing under the pavilion, clearly Jiang Xiaobai's sisters.

Rowing on the small island in the middle of the lake, Lin Bai bowed, and Jiang Xiaobai and his sister returned the gift.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. Brother Yun has already established his foundation. Congratulations." Jiang Xiaobai had no expression.

"I'm sorry to borrow your place to practice this time." Lin Bai also acted as if he was unfamiliar with you.

"The place where you lived before has been occupied by my children." Jiang Xiaobai said calmly, "But you are still a foundation-building person, and you have the elder sister of the Gu family to intercede for you, so you should be treated with respect." She lifted her wide sleeves, pointed to the pavilion, and said, "You are in your prime, so to prevent bad things, you should practice here, and you must not leave the island in the middle of the lake. I am now the new manager of Yuhu, and you must listen to me in everything."

"Little sister," Jiang Chun couldn't bear it anymore, "Daoyou Yun is a noble person, how can you say such a thing?"

"Daoyou Jiang said, I will keep in mind what you said." Lin Bai said.

"That's good." Jiang Xiaobai nodded coldly to Lin Bai three times, and then returned to her black tower.

"My dear brother, please bear with me." Jiang Chun looked helpless.

"You just ignore my sister's words." Jiang Yu also spoke.

"Alas." Lin Bai sighed and remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Chun said a few more words and left. Jiang Yu talked to Lin Bai for a while, and then went fishing with him.

By midnight, there were no outsiders on the island in the middle of the lake. Jiang Yu went back to rest, and only heard birds and insects chirping.

Lin Bai came to the black tower and pushed it gently, and it was indeed unlocked.

When he reached the top floor, he saw Jiang Xiaobai.

She looked surprised, with her hands on her chest, frowning and said, "How dare you break into my tower? What's your intention? You are alone, what do you want to do? Last time was the last time, what else do you want?"

"Then I'll go." Lin Bai immediately turned around and walked down.

"Since you're here." Jiang Xiaobai immediately grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve.
