The Wheel-Turning Master
Chapter 169 The Middleman
I came to Fengming Pavilion and found Zhu Yumao.
It turned out that there was indeed something important. Zhu Yushu went to the Tian family for a few rounds and fell in love with a young lady from the Tian family.
Since then, the marriage between the two families has been decided. Zhu Jianyang is discussing etiquette at the Tian family.
The female cultivator of the Tian family is nearly 30 years old and her name is Tian Wanjun. She was also an outstanding person. She had completed her Qi training at the age of 21. It's a pity that she lost the opportunity to build a foundation and was delayed for a few years. Now she manages farm affairs in the Tian family.
I don't know how Zhu Yushu got to know her, but the marriage is set in stone anyway.
In fact, most people who practice cultivation seek to be free and easy. Even if they become Taoist couples, they are too lazy to do any etiquette. At most, they invite three or five friends to drink and celebrate.
However, families and sects are different. They have to consider survival. Moreover, Zhu Yushu is the next head of the family, and his marriage is not decided by him alone.
Although the female cultivator of the Tian family is in the Qi training realm, she is still marrying down. The Zhu family got a bargain.
However, it is unknown whether Zhu Yushu and Tian Wanjun really like each other or were forced by the Tian family.
Lin Bai only hopes that the two of them are in love.
"What is the temperament of that young lady?" Lin Bai was afraid of meeting someone like Zhu Yuling again.
"I heard that she is a very reasonable person." Zhu Yumao smiled.
"Dad," Miaomiao was the first to find fault, "just listen to this kind of words. My master often told me that when you meet a female cultivator, you first praise her appearance and then her temperament. So when you pull a female cultivator here, you can praise her for being reasonable. It's not rare..."
She finished speaking, and seeing that Lin Bai and Zhu Yumao looked unhappy, she quickly stopped talking.
After talking for a while, Lin Bai got up and left.
"Master, you go back first." Miaomiao didn't leave, "I'll accompany my father and fulfill my filial duty. I'll go back later."
Lin Bai agreed of course, and went back to practice alone.
Refining pills to calm the mind, and then began to think about himself.
Now he has nothing, only more than a thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
As for making a living, apart from selling himself, the only way is to refine pills. Although he has made some progress in making talismans, he has not yet taken them out to show off.
With the notes of Zhu Jianguang and Zhu Jianshui, Lin Bai is diligent. Now he refines pills for the foundation-building cultivators, Anling Pill and Jiuzhi Pill.
The former is helpful for cultivation, and the latter is for healing. Lin Bai also wants to make some pills with higher prices and greater profits. Such as the Yujing Pill for detoxification and the Huayuan Pill for breakthrough, but he suffers from the lack of pill formulas and spiritual materials.
But even so, he can live a happy life.
Alchemists at the foundation-building level are popular wherever they go.
Lin Bai is still refining pills for Fengming Pavilion, but the spiritual materials of the Zhu family are really less. First, the spiritual materials for the foundation-building period need to be older, at least a dozen years, and at most hundreds of years; second, there are too few people in Fengming Mountain, and the spiritual materials needed for the foundation-building stage are particularly difficult to take care of.
"When my sister-in-law gets married, she may be able to get in touch with the Tian family. In the future, she will make alchemy for the Tian family, and every extra profit is a profit."
"After all the calculations, the hard work of alchemy is not as much as sleeping with people! Not to mention killing people and robbing goods!"
After sitting for a while, Lin Bai took out the talisman pen, talisman paper, cinnabar, and a bottle of clear water with a lot of spiritual energy.
Grind the cinnabar, concentrate on it, lick the ink and write.
A shadow appeared behind him, the mist dissipated, and a turntable slowly turned.
Concentrate on your mind and write on the pen.
However, the spiritual patterns were messy at first, and then the talisman paper broke.
The golden elixir has its own natal talisman, which is to seal the natal magical power on things such as animal skins and tree barks. The foundation-building cultivators also have their own magical powers, but it is difficult to imitate the talisman.
Due to the limitations of the realm, there is no way. Lin Bai tried for a long time, but there was no effect. It was really like pulling a bow but not shooting an arrow.
After a break, Lin Bai started writing again.
There was only vast fog in the shadow behind him, and no wheel was seen.
The fog moved randomly and slowly fell on the talisman paper. Cinnabar appeared, the spiritual pattern was drawn, and wisps of fog disappeared into the spiritual pattern.
This is the natal talisman, which is made by borrowing the power of the natal. All foundation-building cultivators can make corresponding talismans according to their own natal, but the power is far worse.
Lin Bai pinched the talisman, shook it slightly, and burned when it met the wind. Immediately, a small group of mist rushed out of the talisman paper and entered from the center of his eyebrows.
This talisman can isolate deductions by borrowing the power of the natal fog, which can last for half an hour. In addition, it can't even block the field of vision, let alone help in fighting.
However, if it is used in a special place, it should have a miraculous effect.
Lin Bai named this talisman the Eye-blocking Talisman, which means a leaf covering the eyes. There is very little fog, which fits the saying of a leaf; it can cover the deduction for a while, which fits the ability of blocking the eyes.
The cloud in the sleeve that I cultivated before borrowed the fog of my own life, which can only be used by myself. If I want to seal it and give it to others, it will disappear when it leaves the body for a hundred feet.
This talisman can be regarded as making up for this defect and can be borrowed by others.
However, Lin Bai did not plan to give it to anyone.
As he practiced for a long time and gained more knowledge, Lin Bai became more and more aware of how magical and strange his own fog was. If the secret was known to others, I was afraid that I would not be able to keep it, but would be taken away by others to squeeze it dry.
It involves my own secrets. Except for those who are closest to me, I must not show the Eye-blocking Talisman to others.
After drawing dozens of talismans, I was exhausted. After sitting and resting, Lin Bai put aside his distracting thoughts and practiced on his own.
I have already practiced the Hun Yuan Body Tempering Method for three times. I was delayed a lot last time, going to the Sleeping Dragon Mountain and attending the funeral. Now it is time to move on.
However, my progress in cultivation has not been delayed. I am now at the second level of foundation building, and I have already touched the threshold of the third level of foundation building.
This time, the tempering of the body starts from the fire. The time allocation for cultivation is mainly for tempering the body, followed by realm cultivation, and then alchemy and talisman making. Occasionally, I will teach my apprentice and Xiaoyuer.
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Bai suddenly felt a little joy in his heart.
When he came to the stone plate, he saw the moonlight outside the mist was extremely bright, and Xiuxiu became more and more capable.
Feeling it carefully, I don’t know where the joy came from.
Lin Bai guessed that it was not Jiang Yatou who was pregnant, nor was it Sister Huanhuan who was pregnant, but Sister Pei’s foundation building was successful.
"The return date is not far away. It seems that Sister Pei is doing well."
Another month later, Lin Bai went to the Crystal Palace for a tour, and then sent a letter to Qu Ruyi, asking if Xiuxiu would return, and mentioned Zhu Yushu’s marriage. He went to Yuhu to pay for the accommodation for his good apprentice, and then went to Zhutao Garden to get four flying knives, and ordered another four.
After a busy time, Sister Pei still didn’t come back.
Lin Bai had no feelings in his heart, so he was not in a hurry and took his good disciple to Fengming Mountain.
Fire produces earth, and the earth-type spiritual energy body tempering needs to be in Zhu's Fengming Mountain.
Let Miaomiao go wild, and Lin Bai went to find Zhu Yushu.
After chatting for a long time, he asked about the Tian family girl. Zhu Yushu, a man of heroic temperament, laughed, and I don’t know what kind of aphrodisiac he took.
When he asked Zhu Jianyang again, he also praised the Tian family girl to the sky.
Given the relationship between Lin Bai and the Zhu family, there is no need to say polite words about these things. It seems that the Tian family girl is really good.
Lin Bai felt that if Xiuxiu was there, he would definitely say a lot of things, such as marrying a virtuous wife, and then compare it with the bad things of the neighbors.
"There is no news from Sister Ruyi!"
Lin Bai practiced and tempered his body in silence again.
Another two months, the earth-type spiritual energy body tempering was completed. In three days, it will be Zhu Yushu's wedding ceremony.
The Zhu family rarely had a happy event, so they should have held it in a grand manner. However, after all, the Gu family had just lost their Nascent Soul, so both the Zhu and Tian families had to keep a low profile.
All the foundation-building sects and families around Fengming Mountain came to congratulate. Gu Fang and Gu Yao came from the Gu family, and three foundation-building people came from the Tian family. In addition, there were some friends who practiced as independent cultivators.
However, there were also people from the Crystal Palace in Xinyifang, who came to congratulate on behalf of Qu Ruyi, and also presented gifts, which made the guests look up to the Zhu family.
When the ceremony began, Lin Bai finally met Tian Wanjun from the Tian family.
She was of average appearance, but she was generous and generous, and her eyebrows were very gentle and soft.
Lin Bai knew why Zhu Yushu, a hard-headed man, was so happy. It turned out that he had encountered a bridle that could tie him up by using softness to overcome hardness.
It was dark when the ceremony was over. The banquet was set up inside and outside the hall, and the host and guests were all happy.
Lin Bai sat at the same table with his apprentice, and he taught her the principles of life while she poured him wine.
After a while, Zhu Yumao came hurriedly, saying that he had something important to tell him.
The two of them avoided everyone, and Zhu Yumao took out a letter and said, "Someone from my manor just came. This letter is for you."
"Who wrote the letter?" Lin Bai asked.
"I don't know." Zhu Yumao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Today, there is a wedding at home, and the manor is guarded by only an ordinary old servant. According to the old servant, the person who came was masked, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He said he was my old friend. The letter was delivered to me, and when I opened it, I saw that there was another letter, but it was sent to you."
Lin Bai took the letter and felt nothing. He opened the letter and saw only four words: I have returned.
This is the handwriting of Sister Pei, and Lin Bai knows her very well.
But Sister Pei has completed the foundation building, why doesn't she go directly to Fengming Mountain, but hide it? Besides, she has completed the foundation building for three months, but she has not returned yet. What happened?
Lin Bai and Sister Pei had been in cahoots for a long time, so he knew that Sister Pei was not a mysterious person. She did not show up, nor did she return to Tianchi Sect. She must have encountered a very difficult decision, or there was another secret.
"Don't mention this to outsiders." Lin Bai reminded Zhu Yumao.
After returning to the table with Zhu Yumao, Lin Bai chatted with Gu Fang and Gu Yao for a while, and drank with everyone until midnight. Then he was drunk and left.
When he arrived at Zhu Yumao's manor, there was no light.
All the ordinary servants here had been dismissed, and Lin Bai went forward and came to the guest room.
Pushing the door in, the candlelight lit up.
Pei Ning's face was frosted, and there was a slight smile on his lips.
"I..."
As soon as Pei Ning opened his mouth, Lin Bai raised his hand to signal.
He waved his sleeves and threw out seven small flags, which were placed around the house. Then mist surged out of his sleeves, covering the room.
Sister Pei's behavior was unusual this time. It was feared that she had really encountered something serious. Lin Bai acted cautiously to prevent others from spying.
Sitting in the mist, the two of them faced each other, and even the candlelight flickered and went out.
"You can tell me now." Lin Bai held her hand.
"I should learn more from your cautious behavior." Pei Ning sighed, and then spoke out without reservation.
She had experienced the incident in Qianhe Sandy Land, and knew that it involved many golden elixirs, so she left immediately after the foundation was established.
Pei Ning did not return the same way, fearing that someone would come again, so she went to Mianlong Mountain from the southwest. She sat in the Mianlong Mountain cave mentioned by Lin Bai for two months. Afterwards, she showed up at Longmenfang, and then rushed all the way here.
Her move was to make people think that she built her foundation in Mianlong Mountain, not Qianhe Sandy Land.
"I didn't hide my tracks when I went there, but Mianlong Mountain is in the south and Qianhe Sandy Land is in the southwest, so it's normal."
"I didn't interact with anyone when I went from Qianhe Sandy Land to Mianlong Mountain, so no one should know my whereabouts."
Pei Ning's tone was a little lonely, and he took out a stone tablet the size of Miaomiao's palm.
Lin Bai took it and looked at it carefully, only to see that the blood on it had already solidified into brown. The material was unknown, without any spiritual energy, like an ordinary mountain stone.
The reverse side is painted with strange lines that look like rivers. There is only one word on the front: None.
I can't see its use, and I don't know its magic.
However, Lin Bai and Pei Ning discussed for a long time and felt that this stone tablet should be a key, or the key to unlocking a secret realm.
But the strange thing is that after Sister Pei built the foundation, she looked around and found nothing unusual. It seemed like an ordinary sand vortex.
The nine people emerged from the sand and then fell into it. I don't know where it comes from, nor its purpose.
However, the Jiang and Yao families were involved, and guessing from his words, it was probably the golden elixir behind the matter.
Yao Wanshan and Jiang Xingchi are both in the late stage of the Golden Elixir. The thing that can make their hearts flutter is either to add another Golden Elixir to their family, or to help realize the Tao Nascent Soul.
In the past, when vixens were causing trouble, Yunxia Sect and Jiuyinshan Yuanying rushed to Qiaoshan Sect. At that time, Gao Yuanyuan and Qu Chengjia were guests at the Tianchi Sect. When Qu Ru unexpectedly went out to build the foundation, Yao Wanshan hooked up with Qu Chengjia and promised to treat Qu Chengjia with great gifts.
Although I don’t know what they did, since the matter involved a secret, they still invited Qu Chengjia there, so they must have relied on Qu Chengjia’s numerology theory of yin and yang.
However, it seems that this time, even with the help of Qu Chengjia, Yao Wanshan did not get what he asked for, so he sent Yao Qianlong to guard him.
And Jiang Xingchi seemed to be involved.
The scorpion-tailed snake skins that Lin Bai had previously obtained in Mianlong Mountain were all given to Jiang Yatou, and they were confiscated by her family. They turned out to be made into spiritual weapons.
The two discussed it for a long time and felt that Qu Chengjia just met at the right time. However, Pei Ning used Qu Chengjia's talisman, which made Yao Qianlong think that Pei Ning was related to Qu Chengjia, and mistakenly thought that Qu Chengjia wanted to pick peaches.
There are too many people involved behind this matter. In addition to Yao and Jiang's two golden elixirs, there are seven others, and there may be another golden elixir behind.
The problem now is that Pei Ning is hot with the stone tablet, but Jiang Huo cannot ignore the grace of fighting for his life.
But if it is handed over to the Jiang family, trouble may arise again.
Although the Jiang family has a good family tradition and they are all gentlemen and ladies, they are also honest and honest in doing business and never take advantage of others.
But if this stone tablet involves the Great Dao, it will be beneficial to the realization of the Nascent Soul. I'm afraid Jin Dan will not only fight tooth and nail, but his methods won't be gentle either.
Therefore, we can no longer use common sense to judge Jiang Xingchi, and it is even correct to think the worst about him.
"You gave me a lot of spiritual stones last time, and I made the sword box and the flying sword with great joy, but they were destroyed in one encounter."
She was quite sad, "And these..." She pointed to the nine storage rings on the table, "All the specialties related to Qianhe Sandy Land were thrown away, and I didn't dare to take the damaged spiritual weapons. There are also some elixir talismans, but there are not many letters and no identification tags."
"So you don't dare to ask for anything valuable?" Lin Bai laughed.
"You make so much money in one trip, and I will only do money-losing business." Pei Ning also laughed.
"Being able to come back in peace is better than anything else. Besides, is it possible to achieve this without building a foundation?" Lin Bai comforted her.
"What about the stone tablet?" Peining asked.
"Jiang Huo's great kindness for saving his life, you and I are not the ones who don't recognize the kindness. We need to understand Jiang Xingchi both emotionally and rationally. We should not hinder people from becoming enlightened. This is not something that our mere foundation builders can participate in, for sure It needs a golden elixir to start with, maybe we can make some soup along with it," Lin Bai said.
"What if there is danger?" Peining shook his head slightly, "No matter how good you and Jiang Yatou are, after all, the matter involves secrets and involves many golden elixir monks. Jiang Xingchi can't believe it."
"So we need to find the right person." Lin Bai smiled.
"Gu... Fairy Shen Yu?" Peining also smiled.
"You know me, Sister Ning!" Lin Bai took her hand and walked in, saying, "You encountered many enemies this time, and there were a lot of inappropriate responses. Let me give you some pointers."
