The Wheel-Turning Master

Lin Bai is an honest man.

Since he didn't plan to enter the mountain and the Gu family wouldn't let him go, he practiced during the day and drank and chatted at night.

Three days later, the full moon was in the sky.

In Yang Huan's tent, the Yang family siblings and Lin Bai drank and chatted.

Last time, Gu Jinzhen provoked Yue Fengshu, and Lin Bai suffered an unexpected disaster. But these two people are one of the descendants of Yuanying and the other is the direct descendant of Yuanying, and they can't afford to offend.

Regardless of whether Yue Fengshu has a grudge against the little alchemist, Lin Bai knows that he is tied to the Gu family.

Therefore, Lin Bai has been asking Yang Huan's siblings about the mess of Qiaoshan Sect these days, at least to find out how powerful Yue Fengshu is.

Chatting until midnight, Yang Shu was drunk again, muttering to himself.

"You have been asking about the head of Yue these two days. In fact, you don't have to be afraid of him. With the protection of the Gu family, as long as you don't cause trouble, he won't lower himself to trouble you." Yang Huan poured wine for Lin Bai.

"Alas, I am just a mere alchemist, and I have always been timid." Lin Bai sighed and drank.

Yang Huan saw that Lin Bai looked harmless and helpless, so she frowned and said, "Why are you pretending to be kind to me?"

"... I'm used to it." Lin Bai quickly poured her some wine, "Sister Huanhuan, when will you go back?"

"Why should I go back?" Yang Huan kept drinking.

"Your injuries have not healed, but you drink every day, what should I do?" Lin Bai looked caring and said seriously, "In my opinion, it's better to go back to your hometown to rest."

Yang Huan did not answer, but got up and went outside to call two Qi-refining disciples to send Yang Shu away.

The tent was peaceful, with only two people left.

"It's settled, I'll go home tomorrow." Yang Huan said in a low voice.

"That's right." Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll go back too." As he spoke, he stood up.

"Drink for a while." Yang Huan held Lin Bai, with a strange expression, "I don't know when I can drink with you again after returning to the mountain this time."

This is true, Lin Bai can only accompany her to continue chatting.

After drinking for another half an hour, Yang Huan frowned, "Can't you get drunk?" Her cheeks were red, and there was a bit of resentment between her eyebrows.

Lin Bai has experienced a lot of ups and downs, so she naturally understands what Sister Huanhuan means, but this place is not good after all.

"There are three Yuanying here, and there are many golden pills." Lin Bai whispered.

Yang Huan raised his sleeves and threw out a talisman, which spread out faint water ripples.

At this point, Lin Bai also felt itchy, "You have to keep your voice down." He pressed the water gourd.

Yang Huan turned his head away and didn't look at Lin Bai.

After making a fuss for a long time, Lin Bai suddenly felt something in his heart, but he didn't move.

"You just bully people..." After a few breaths, Yang Huan came back to her senses, her voice was full of resentment. She picked up the wine gourd, poured the wine, and was about to open her mouth when she was stunned.

The two of them quickly put on their Taoist robes and left the tent.

Under the bright white moonlight, a green water mark started from Longmen Square and went north.

Many people came out of the tent to see, and whispered.

"Is it Gu Qing... Is it the ancestor of the Gu family?" Lin Bai asked.

"It's the new Yuanying." Yang Huan's tone was quite complaining, as if she blamed Gu Qingshui for ruining her mood for drinking.

Her cheeks were still red, and she pulled Lin Bai into the tent again.

Just stopped halfway, she was neither in nor out, as if she had not drunk enough.

After Lin Bai served her comfortably and felt comfortable himself, he hurried away.

On the second day, the injured children of Qiaoshan Sect and other Jindan sects and families all left on the flying boat.

"My sister's complexion seems to have improved a lot. She will be fine after a few days of rest at home." Yang Shu looked up at the flying boat.

That's all my credit! I sent her wine and other things, and I worked hard. Lin Bai touched his waist and didn't dare to say anything.

"Why did the ancestor of the Gu family suddenly leave last night?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"How should I know? I was so anxious..." Yang Shu covered his mouth, "Ahem, you go ask Gu Fang."

Since he was free, Lin Bai went to find Gu Fang.

"I don't know either." Gu Fang shook her head.

"Is this matter going to be resolved?" Lin Bai asked.

Gu Fang just shook her head.

There was no other way, so Lin Bai continued to rest, practice during the day, and drink with Yang Shu at night.

But Yang Shu only talked about Gu Feixue, either worrying about Gu Feixue's injury or talking about Gu Feixue's heroic appearance in the past.

Lin Bai really couldn't stand it, so he hung up the sign of recuperation and stopped drinking with Yang Shu.

Ten days passed in a hurry, and Gu Qingshui never returned, and was replaced by the old Yuanying of the Cheng family.

The atmosphere here became more and more weird, and Jiuyin Mountain sent many disciples into the mountain, as if they were determined to get Fairy Chenyu.

And the people of Yunxia Sect who entered the mountain were few, and this time they withdrew, as if they didn't want to compete for the good fortune.

Qiaoshan Sect didn't make any movement, and the Yuanying of the Cheng family didn't care about anything at all, just let the Jindan of each family make the decision.

Lin Bai saw something was wrong, and asked Gu Fang again.

But Gu Fang didn't know anything.

Lin Bai had no choice but to ask Yang Shu again.

"It seems that something happened at home, I don't know much." Yang Shu didn't treat Lin Bai as an outsider, but he was just building a foundation after all, and he couldn't get involved in deeper things.

After another five days, Gu Fang sent someone to invite him.

Lin Bai hurried over and entered the tent, and saw Jindan Gu Jinzhen was also there, with a gloomy look on his face.

When Gu Jinzhen teased Yue Fengshu last time, she was so pleased with herself, but now she looked like her mother had died.

Looking at Gu Fang again, she was also in a trance and forgot to even say hello.

Something happened to the Gu family? Lin Bai couldn't understand that the Gu family had the new Yuanying Gu Qingshui and the old Yuanying Gu Qingshan. Although they were both in the early stage of Yuanying, they were dual Yuanyings after all. The Qiaoshan sect had a total of five Yuanyings, excluding those in the late stage of Yuanying. It can be said that for the Supreme Leader, there is nothing that would make his family frown. Even if he is the Supreme Leader, he still has to give some face to the Gu family.

Could it be that his ancestor died? Lin Bai murmured in his heart, knowing love is not a good thing.

"Senior Gu, Senior Sister Gu, why are you calling me?" Lin Bai bowed and saluted.

"You are not an outsider, please sit down." Gu Jinzhen said.

If Gu Fang said this, Lin Bai wouldn't mind it. After all, he gave her a lot of gifts. But Tangtang Jindan said this, it seems that he not only wants to make good friends, but also has trust.

Lin Bai thanked him and made up his mind that even if you have a lotus tongue, you will never go into the mountains again.

"You need to go into the mountain this time." Gu Jinzhen said nothing nonsense.

"This..." Lin Bai cried bitterly, "Nowadays, everyone in the mountain is a veteran of hundreds of battles. There were rumors before that the disciples of Jiuyin Mountain were ambushing and ambushing me in the mountain. I am a mere alchemist..."

Lin Bai sighed repeatedly.

"Gu Feng is dead." Gu Fang suddenly said, her expression extremely ugly.

"Senior Brother Gu..." Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly: "Where is Senior Sister Feixue?"

"Still alive." Gu Fang said.

"What about Senior Sister Gu Yao?" Gu Yao was walking with Zhu Jian Yang, so Lin Bai actually asked Zhu Jian Yang.

"Nothing." Gu Fang said again.

Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Yun, I know this is embarrassing you, but this is also a helpless move." Gu Fang sighed quietly.

"Senior sister, the Gu family's children are quite talented, why don't you gather some people and go?" Lin Bai asked sincerely, saying in his heart that the Gu family doesn't want to add someone to the family, so let me come with a foreign surname?

"The previous promise remains the same. My family allows you to put forward one condition." Gu Fang did not explain, but directly offered benefits. "Also, I heard that you have a companion who joined the Tianchi sect. At that time, the Four Golden Pill Sect was a casual cultivator. Do you know why?"

She looked at Lin Bai listlessly.

"Sister, please inform me." Lin Bai and Pei Ning discussed this matter more than once, but neither had a clue.

Gu Fang looked at Gu Jinzhen.

"I can't tell you about this yet." Gu Jinzhen sighed and said, "I can only make you a promise. I treat you as a nephew of the Gu family, and Pei Ning is also a nephew, and I will never treat you as an outsider."

Lin Bai was confused, but the meaning behind the words seemed quite dangerous.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai stood up, bowed, and said, "Yun Zhonghe is willing to go into the mountains again to look for someone."

"Good boy." Gu Jinzhen stroked his beard, "Since you value the friendship with your Taoist couple, my Gu family also values ​​friendship."

Lin Bai thanked him again.

Gu Fang took out a letter and handed it to Lin Bai again along with Yan Guiling.

"If you meet Gu Yao, let her come back quickly." Gu Jinzhen warned again.

Lin Bai responded, thinking that it was only the third time. This would be the third time.

Gu Jinzhen explained many matters, and Lin Bai left.

Now that I'm in the mountains, I want to catch some more. Lin Bai went to Tianchi Sect again and asked about the whereabouts of Gai Qiuyan and Yao Qianchi.

Lin Bai went to say goodbye to Yang Shu again. Hearing him say many good things, Lin Bai went up the mountain with satisfaction.

The jackdaw mist has not yet dispersed, and Lin Bai is still traveling through the mountain forest.

There was no danger along the way and no one was encountered. It has been nearly three months since the disciples of the three sects entered the mountain. The capable ones are all deep in the mountains, while the incompetent ones have either turned into ashes or returned to their bases to rest.

After three days of grinding, Lin Bai came to Chuan Valley again. The place is lush and green, with no tall trees to be seen.

Return to Xiao Huang's former residence and pick up the talisman left here.

"It's a pity that no one from the Tianchi sect is following this time, otherwise there might be another talisman belonging to Liu Tianhe."

Lin Bai was quite disappointed. Previously, there were jade bodies lying on the stone bed, but now there was only a faint scent of wine.

After resting for five days, Lin Bai came out of the cave and planned to explore inside.

Since he has some means to seek good luck and avoid evil, he also has talismans to protect himself. As long as he doesn't encounter the golden elixir, there will be no danger.

Walk deeper into the valley and pass through the territory of the Foundation-Building Leopard.

But the place was in a mess, the leopard was gone, not even the disciples or grandchildren were there.

Most monsters are stubborn and will not leave their territory easily unless they encounter a stronger one to rob them or they die.

Lin Bai slowed down his pace more and more, only moving forward cautiously.

Five miles deeper, there is the exit through the valley ahead.

I saw a gloomy forest outside the valley, many tall and giant trees, and the faint sound of roaring beasts.

After walking a few more steps, I suddenly felt something in my heart, but it wasn't strong. It means that there is danger ahead, which may affect your life, but if you are careful, it should be no big deal.

Lin Bai took a look outside the valley, turned around and walked back.

Within a few breaths, he felt that his energy machine was locked. Immediately, a huge copper bell fell from the sky, followed by a flying sword chasing him, and a long rope like a snake.

The thick mist was rising, with several streaks of red firelight, and there seemed to be faintly rotating stone disks.

Soon, the fog dissipated, and there were two corpses on the ground, with fireworks standing out. There were another 127 or 278-year-old woman with a very beautiful appearance. She just stood there motionless, with a blank look in her eyes. There were traces of white snow on her black hair, and wrinkles appeared and disappeared on her face.

Lin Bai first collected the storage ring and the spiritual weapons scattered on the ground. Then he asked: "Jiuyin Mountain?"

These three people are actually quite capable, especially their cooperation. However, Lin Bai left early, making their cooperation difficult, and they defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.

The nun had wrinkles on her face and she gritted her teeth without making a sound.

"Is there another formation ahead?" Lin Bai guessed that since these three people could threaten him and make him feel safe and secure, there must be external aid, which should be a formation.

"What is Daoyou..." the female cultivator started, but she immediately shut up when she heard her old voice.

"Take me to where you set up the formation." Seeing that the two dead foundation builders had turned into ashes, Lin Bai waved his sleeves and sent them back.

"You...you won't kill me?" The female cultivator looked very beautiful. Although there were wrinkles on her face, they could not hide her past color.

"That depends on whether you listen to me or not." Lin Bai smiled.

"I am willing to be the pioneer for Daoyou and serve you with my body." The female cultivator gritted her teeth and led the way.

After leaving the valley, she described the place where the formation was set up in detail.

"This formation is called the Phantom Sinking Water Formation. Entering the formation is like entering a fantasy world. You can only see waves and water surging, and it is difficult to tell the direction." The female cultivator said.

"Why are you lying here instead of exploring further?" Lin Bai smiled at her and said, "You are blocking the way here, presumably to buy time for your fellow disciples?"

The female cultivator was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Where did your fellow disciples go?" Lin Bai asked again.

"Zhengnan!" The female cultivator said decisively, and then flattered, "Daoyou are a casual cultivator? Why don't you go with me?"

Lin Bai looked at her and knew that she was not lying, but had no good intentions, and was going to find a companion.

"That's right, I came from Xinyifang." Lin Bai smiled.

"What a coincidence?" The female cultivator lifted up her half-white hair, raised her half-old face, and flirted, "My brother is an alchemist, and has always made a living in Xinyifang, living in the Jiang family, and later..." She stopped talking.

Lin Bai nodded and rummaged through the storage rings of the three of them. There were indeed a lot of good things in them.

In addition to the things from Jiuyin Mountain, there were also things from Qiaoshan Sect and Yunxia Sect. Many spiritual weapons were stained with blood, obviously stolen.

The flying knife took the life of the female cultivator, so Lin Bai did not go deeper and just stayed here.

After waiting for five or six days, only four disciples from Jiuyin Mountain came, and they were all taken in by Lin Bai.

After waiting for another two days, Lin Bai stopped the formation and put away the formation flags and formation plates. He would study them when he returned and learn the ability to set up formations in the future.

According to the female cultivator, Lin Bai walked to the south.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and there were many trees, so monsters were seen from time to time.

Lin Bai did not have the heart to take advantage of the opportunity, so he honestly avoided monsters. After two days of hesitation, he only walked around for twenty miles.

After walking for another half a day, he saw an acquaintance.

"Brother Yun, long time no see." Chun Yutong looked like a wild man, and there was even a smile on his face.

There was a girl beside him, her white robe had become a black robe, her face was dark, her hair was messy, and she was also in a mess.

"Is there danger ahead?" Lin Bai asked.

Chun Yutong did not answer, and the girl did not say anything.

"I am a good friend of Yang Shu, please give me some advice." Lin Bai thought, don't hide it, I am your brother-in-law!

The girl heard Yang Shu's name and went to see Chun Yutong, who nodded slightly.

"There are thieves from Jiuyin Mountain ahead." The girl said.

"Have you seen Gu Feixue from the Gu family?" Lin Bai asked again.

"No." The girl replied.

"Where is Gu Yao?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I haven't seen that slut." The girl replied.

How did she become a slut? Lin Bai couldn't say anything, he could only sigh and throw some healing pills over. The girl took it, nodded slightly to thank him, and walked north, obviously going out of the mountain.

Lin Bai walked again, but met two Cheng family members from Qiaoshan Sect. However, they were just on guard, and they ignored him when he wanted to ask for some information.

After walking more than ten miles forward, he felt something in his heart.

Before Lin Bai left, a man and a woman came, both wearing the uniforms of Jiuyin Mountain.

But they also looked quite vicissitudes of life, and it was obvious that they had suffered a lot.

"Self-cultivator?" The male cultivator said coldly.

"That's right." Lin Bai replied.

"Get lost!" the male cultivator said.

Lin Bai hated the cultivators who didn't follow etiquette the most. The thick fog dispersed, and the flying knife was used to take the lives of the couple immediately.

"You are a tired army. The talismans have been used up long ago, and most of the spiritual weapons have problems. How dare you challenge me?"

He waved his sleeves to blow away the ashes and picked up the spoils. Just when he was thinking about whether to advance or retreat, three more disciples of Jiuyin Mountain came.

These three people didn't say anything and just came up to fight.

Lin Bai could only deal with them, but after trying for a while, he felt that these three people had some skills, but they seemed to be very weak, and they had obviously been in a series of fierce battles.

Without thinking too much, he used his magic power to cripple two people, and then the flying knife came to harvest another one.

After picking up the spoils, he went to the stone plate to recover a little, and then heard a whirring sound in front of him.

"Refueling tactics?" Lin Bai was shocked.

The two men who came were two male cultivators. Although they were extremely fierce, they were also tired and used their original source to fight hard.

Lin Bai used the same trick again and killed two more people.

"Come back later, I have to catch someone alive."

After using the dead wood cicada magic twice, Lin Bai was also very weak. He thought that if another person with a talisman came, it would be over.

He turned around and ran for a while, but no one came. He felt nothing in his heart.

"A total of seven were killed. Are there only seven of them?" Lin Bai found a safe place, waited until he recovered to his peak, and then headed south again.

After walking about a mile, there was a peach blossom forest.

There were no green leaves, only the spring breeze shaking the peach blossoms. Butterflies danced lightly and birds sang softly. There were green deer walking in the middle, and cranes accompanied them.

This place has a bit of fairyland scene. However, there were several corpses in front of the peach forest, and the scenery was a bit ruined.

Lin Bai walked into the peach forest without feeling anything.

After walking 300 steps, he saw a small round pond, about 30 meters in diameter.

There is a small stone island three feet in diameter in the middle, just below the surface of the water and shaped like a full moon.

I still feel nothing in my heart. Lin Bai stepped forward and took a closer look, and saw that the pool was extremely deep, and he could not tell the depth, reflecting his own appearance.

There seemed to be fish swimming in it, but they were looming, as if they were illusory.

Lin Bai thought about it for a long time, then stretched out his hand to touch the water lines. Warm, cool, gentle, not like long-lasting water.

There is no evil in my heart.

Lin Bai saluted towards the pond water and said: "Fairy, Xinyi Fangyun... Lin Zhuanlun wants to see you."

A small fish jumped out of the water, causing slight ripples, nothing unusual at all.

"Fairy Shen Yu is not in the deep pool?"

Lin Bai thought for a while and looked around carefully, trying to find any clues, but found nothing.

"If the fairy is not here, what are the people of Jiuyin Mountain doing here?"

Lin Bai calmed down and walked around the peach blossom forest again, but still found nothing.

Before arriving at Youtan, Lin Bai shamelessly said many words of admiration, but to no avail.

"Xiao Huang?" Lin Bai called Huang Ruhua again.

Still no one answered.

"Fairy Shen Yu loves innocent girls. Although I am innocent, I am still a man. Could it be that the fairy doesn't like me and that's why she doesn't see her?"

"Or do you need to jump into a deep pool?"

Lin Bai felt that this was the first time that turning the wheel was useless.

When night falls, the moonlight reflects on the deep pool, and the subtle ripples sway the bright white moon shadow.

Hearing the roars and roars of animals, Lin Bai wanted to find a place to rest. After thinking for a while, I took out Yan Gui Ling from the storage ring, and there was a slight sound.

"Is Gu Feixue nearby?"

Lin Bai regretted taking out Yan Guiling. But after thinking for a while, if I was wasting my time here, why not go meet Gu Feixue, maybe she would know something.

Go to the direction the bell tone points to and go southwest.

Grinding and chirping, we waited until dawn and walked about three miles.

The further you go, the more dense the ringtones become.

After a while, I saw a vision.

The forest here is lush, but there are very few flying birds. Many trees are wrapped in pale spider webs, and many bird and animal skeletons are hung on them.

Walking forward slowly, there are more and more spiders. The trees are all connected by spider webs, and the spider webs are extremely sticky.

"What the hell!" Lin Bai put Yan Guiling into the storage ring, turned around and walked back, "I'd better go and think about the deep pool. The iron pestle is ground into a needle, and with my sincerity, I will definitely be able to get it. The fairy favors you."

After walking a few steps, I felt a chill in my heart. When I looked back, there was nothing.

"Zizzi..." Hearing this sound, he raised his head again and saw a huge pale spider on the high tree, spitting out spider silk as thick as an arm.

Lin Bai did not hesitate. Before the flying knife was released, the talisman treasure had already been taken.

I saw surging water immediately appearing all around, and a long green sword seemed to be carrying a river, rushing and rolling.

The pale spider's webbing immediately disintegrated as soon as it touched the shadow of the sword. However, the sword power continued, and the phantom sword edge went straight into the spider's body, killing it immediately.

"Liu Tianhe seems a bit strong, no worse than senior Po Yunzi."

Lin Bai felt nothing at all and took out Yan Guiling again.

Follow the ringtone and go deeper into this place. Within a quarter of an hour, they saw a cave sealed by spider silk.

He turned his fingers into fire and burned it for half a quarter of an hour before burning away the spider silk.

Looking inside, he saw Gu Feixue sitting cross-legged on the spot, holding a broken sword in his hand and looking pale.

"Why are you here?" Gu Feixue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Gu asked me to come find you." Lin Bai put away Yan Guiling, took out the letter, and stepped forward and said, "Are you injured?"

"Poisoned." Gu Feixue's face was whiter than that of the spider.

"I have the Jade Pure Pill." Lin Bai took out the pill bottle, took out three pills, and handed it to her, but she didn't take it.

"The effect is too slow." Gu Feixue shook his head.

"Then I'll take you out." Lin Bai was very sincere.

"I have become food and cannot leave this place." Gu Feixue actually still smiled.

"Food? Can't live without it?" Lin Bai was puzzled.

"You should leave quickly!" Gu Feixue did not explain, only said: "There is a foundation-building perfect monster here, it is extremely ferocious! Bring the news out, and let Gu Yao avenge me in the future."

Foundation-building perfection monster? You didn't tell me earlier! Lin Bai was startled, and when he saw that he felt nothing, he quickly took out various talismans and elixirs, intending to keep them for her to use.

Then he asked casually: "What kind of monster is it?" Lin Bai wanted to go back and give an explanation.

"It's a pale poisonous spider." Gu Feixue said.

"Poisonous spider?" Lin Bai didn't leave, "What does it look like?"

"The whole body is pale, the body is extremely hard, and the spider silk is highly poisonous and has a paralyzing effect." Gu Feixue shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You should leave quickly, so as not to be discovered."

"No!" Lin Bai waved his hand immediately, "While you are still alive, you see your friends in danger but run away alone. This is not the way to be a human being."

"You..." Gu Feixue was stunned, thinking that you were not like this when you met Lao Yu.

"Senior sister, don't worry!" Lin Bai said proudly with a righteous look on his face, "I have to take care of the entrustment of my seniors, how can I just leave? I will be my guardian this time. If any monsters come, they must step on my feet. Only corpses can hurt Senior Sister!"

"You don't have to be like this." Gu Feixue thought this person was stupid?

"Don't say too much! I, Yun Zhonghe, never care about gains or losses when I act, I just want to be clear of guilt. Senior sister, just take good care of your wounds!" Lin Bai walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Light shone in from outside the cave, and Gu Feixue saw Lin Bai sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, facing outside, with a particularly majestic dark outline. There was a sword beside him, and he really meant to die generously.

"Is this the Gale of Wind Zhijin grass?" Gu Feixue murmured.
