The Wheel-Turning Master

On the stone plate, Lin Bai sat cross-legged in the middle.

A little bit of spiritual energy squeezed in from the outer mist, and then gathered like cotton wool, turning to the center of the stone plate.

The spiritual energy was slightly blue and green, mixed with a hint of dark red, with a hint of fire.

The spiritual energy gathered, Lin Bai slowly absorbed it, and entered the sea of ​​qi through the three spiritual orifices. Then he slowly sent it out, traveling around the body's meridians, cleansing the body and soul.

The three spiritual orifices were still a little lacking in aptitude, but with the stone plate, the progress of cultivation was not slow.

Moreover, the body was weak during the Qi training period, and every one or two hours of cultivation, he had to stop and wait for two hours.

"Time cannot be wasted. I have to find a method to refine my body. If I go out to explore in the future, it is always good to have a stronger body."

"In addition, I have to refine pills and make talismans..."

"I don't know what happened to Sister Pei. She chose the path of sword cultivation, and sword cultivation requires the most tempering and there are many dangers."

"I also want to temper with her."

Lin Bai was lost in thought for a long time, and quickly calmed down and continued to practice.

The sun and moon are unknown in the mountains, and the same is true in the stone plate.

As the Ruyi Jingxin Jue continued to practice, cleansing the body, washing the blood and flesh. The sea of ​​qi also slowly expanded a little, and the spiritual power contained became more and more.

After a long time, the sea of ​​qi was stable and motionless, and the spiritual power in it kept surging.

It has already reached the fifth level of Qi training, and there has been no major breakthrough, just a slight improvement.

The spiritual power in the body that was disturbed by the breakthrough was calmed down, and the spiritual energy that was scattered from the body was absorbed into the sea of ​​qi.

Lin Bai opened his eyes. The cave was dark, with only a lighting stone above his head.

Fifteen days later, he finally made progress.

After running the Ruyi Jingxin Jue for one more week, Lin Bai felt relaxed, as if his spiritual power was endless.

However, the road ahead was still difficult, and it would become more and more difficult.

The fourth, sixth, and seventh levels of the Qi training period were checkpoints. Some people could not get through them in their lifetime, and some people could not feel the pain of breaking through the checkpoints at all.

When Lin Bai broke through the fourth level before, he did not feel how difficult it was, but he did not know how to deal with the sixth level.

In addition, he had to find a way to make a living quickly.

There were not many spiritual stones on him, and he could only live for another four months at most.

After opening the cave door, the sunlight was dazzling. After walking a few steps, he saw the casual cultivators who were chatting outside looking over.

He had just entered the fifth level of Qi training, and his breath was not stable yet. Others could tell at a glance. Some casual cultivators smiled and bowed, while others sneered.

"Oh, you have reached the fifth level of Qi training? That's fast! Congratulations!" Jiang Xiaobai was talking to a female cultivator. When he saw Lin Bai, he hurried over with a happy face. He didn't know where he was happy.

"It's a fluke." Lin Bai smiled and replied.

"You asked me for help a few days ago, and there is already some progress. But you are in seclusion, so I don't want to disturb you." Jiang Xiaobai walked into Lin Bai's cave and said, "Come in and tell me!"

Lin Bai immediately felt something was wrong with the sentence "Come in and tell me".

After entering the cave, the two sat cross-legged.

"My humble place is simple, and I don't have tea..." Lin Bai was very polite.

"Alright, alright! I hate being polite!" Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand, interrupting Lin Bai's words, and said with a smile: "I found a person who is in the late stage of Qi training. He has made and painted talismans for decades, and has a skilled craftsmanship. He has saved a lot of wealth! He lives in my cave with the number A!"

Lin Bai lives in the lowest number C cave. Those who live in the number A cave are relatively wealthy casual cultivators, most of whom have skills.

"Really? Did that Taoist friend make any requests?" Lin Bai always felt that there was a trap.

"What can I ask for?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled and waved his hands, saying indifferently: "But that fellow Taoist is a little old, and there is no hope for the Great Dao. He has no children or relatives, so he needs you to take care of him in his old age."

"Of course." Lin Bai agreed immediately, and then asked in confusion: "I guess that senior is a female Taoist? Does he have any other requests?"

"How do you know?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled awkwardly and poked with both hands, "I heard a good saying in the mortal world that a woman who is three years older than you is rich. She is only forty or fifty years older than you, and I don't know how many gold bricks she has."

"Only forty or fifty years older?" Lin Bai sneered.

"This is a small matter. Do you still want to learn skills?" Jiang Xiaobai frowned and said seriously: "I have no hope for the avenue, but I have skills and saved a lot of spirit stones. I just want to enjoy myself for a few more years and end my remaining life. By then, won't the spirit stones belong to you? You will also learn the skills, it's worth it!" She became more and more excited as she spoke, "If you ask me, it's the same with your eyes closed. If you feel sorry for Sister Pei, then give Sister Pei more of the spirit stones you have saved. She will always understand your hard work."

Is this what a fourteen-year-old girl said?

Lin Bai didn't know what to say for a while.

"How is it?" Jiang Xiaobai looked at Lin Bai expectantly, rubbing his hands again, and asked: "If you are willing, I will go and pass the message, and let you guys succeed tonight!"

Lin Bai pondered for a while and asked: "Daoyou Xiao Jiang, how many spiritual stones did you get from the other party after running around for me?"

"None." Jiang Xiaobai immediately shook his head, "I am not greedy for those things, I can't spend them all myself."

"Then what did you do it for?" Lin Bai rubbed his aching head.

"I'm free." Jiang Xiaobai seemed to have a headache, and sighed, "My family punished me to work, I have to do something, otherwise I'll be bored to death."

You pimp when you are bored? And pimp an old one?

"..." Lin Bai was speechless, and felt that there was a big gap between casual cultivators and family members.

"Are you going or not? Give me a word." Jiang Xiaobai was excited again.

Lin Bai shook his head, pretending to be a saint who was not interested in women, and said seriously: "I am Lin... I am Yun Zhonghe, an eight-foot man, how can I seduce others with my beauty? Don't mention this matter!"

Jiang Xiaobai scratched her head and stood up, "Okay, I met someone who pretends to be noble." After saying that, she walked out.

When she reached the door, she turned back and said, "Are you not good enough?"

Lin Bai: "What?"

"I heard that Sister Pei took you into the small forest before entering Tianchi Sect, but you came out in less than a cup of tea. Many people saw it and said that you were sweating all over your face." Jiang Xiaobai smiled, "My family opened the Jiang Family Danfang in Xinyifang. If you tell me my name, I will give you an 80% discount." After saying that, she slipped away with a giggle.

Who did this girl learn this from? She has no sense of shame! Lin Bai secretly clenched his fists, thinking that people in my hometown said I was weak, and now I am here, they still say I am weak! Have I cultivated this immortal in vain?

After thinking for a while, Lin Bai took out the letter of introduction sent by Zhu Yumao from the storage ring.

"I must repay Brother Zhu in the future."

Lin Bai muttered for a while, left the cave, closed the door, and went to the market.

When he came to Fengming Pavilion in the west of the market, Lin Bai stepped in.

Fengming Pavilion is the property of the Zhu family and the largest shop on this street, with a total of three floors.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning passed by many times, but never came in to take a look.

The person in Zhu Yumao's letter of introduction is the person in charge of Fengming Pavilion, named Zhu Jianyang.

According to Zhu Yumao, Zhu Jianyang is in the middle stage of foundation building, and he is in charge of all the business affairs of the Zhu family in Xinyifang. Therefore, he has a wide range of contacts, is steady in his work, and likes to help the younger generation.

After entering Fengming Pavilion, we saw two Qigong practitioners in standard Taoist robes entertaining several casual practitioners.

At the counter was a female practitioner in her thirties, practicing Qigong.

"What would you like to buy, fellow Taoist?" the female practitioner asked with a smile.

Lin Bai walked forward, took out the letter of introduction, presented it with both hands, and said, "I'm looking for Senior Zhu."

The female practitioner took the letter, glanced at it, and said, "Please follow me."

Going up to the second floor, the female practitioner knocked on a door. Without waiting for a reply from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

The layout of the room was simple, with only a table and a recliner, on which sat a Taoist with a goatee, about forty years old.

"Hello, senior." Lin Bai bowed, knowing that this person was Zhu Jianyang.

"Uncle, letter." The female practitioner handed the letter over.

Zhu Jianyang sat up, nodded to Lin Bai first, and then took the letter of introduction.

After opening the envelope and reading it briefly, Zhu Jianyang smiled and said, "Friend Yun, have you broken through the fifth level of Qi training?"

"Yes." Lin Bai bowed again.

"That's right." Zhu Jianyang nodded slightly, and then said, "Yu Mao said he is on good terms with you and is willing to guarantee you. What do you want?"

"Senior, I have just come to Xinyifang and have no special skills. I want to learn some skills. I hope you can help me." Lin Bai bowed again.

"Then you can be an apprentice in my shop. Or you can join my clan and learn a skill. In the future, you will be one of our own." The female cultivator smiled.

"Since you are Yumao's good friend, there is no reason for you to be an apprentice or marry into the family." Zhu Jianyang spoke slowly, looked at Lin Bai, and said with a smile: "What do you want to learn? What kind of talent do you have? Whether it is making talismans, refining tools, refining pills, or even planting spiritual herbs and plants, it's all fine." "I... I haven't learned it yet." Lin Bai smiled awkwardly and bowed again, "Now I want to learn some alchemy skills." "Alchemy is fine. Alchemists are welcome wherever they go. However, it still depends on talent." Zhu Jianyang nodded slightly, and then said: "You have been in Xinyifang for some time, and you must know the difficulties of my Zhu family." He only mentioned it briefly, looked at the female cultivator again, and then said: "Go get a small Yin-Yang Ding, and get twenty portions of materials for nourishing qi pills." The female cultivator was stunned for a moment, bit her lip and went out. Zhu Jianyang didn't say anything more. After the female cultivator brought the things up, Zhu Jianyang looked at Lin Bai. "The Yangqi Pill is the most common pill. Those who want to learn alchemy should first make this pill."

Zhu Jianyang pointed to the alchemy furnace and said, "The small Yin-Yang Cauldron is enough for you to use before building your foundation. How about it?"

"Thank you, senior." Lin Bai didn't know what to say. This senior Zhu Jianyang did give Zhu Yumao face, but he didn't mention learning skills. He just gave things and didn't seem to intend to teach.

"Go." Zhu Jianyang took out a booklet and handed it to Lin Bai, waving his hand, "Go back and study it carefully. If you can refine the Yangqi Pill, you can show it to me. I will take it in the future. This is finally a job, right?"

This trip is too smooth, right?

"Thank you for your support, senior." Lin Bai was a little confused, but he still bowed quickly, took the things, and then slowly left.

After Lin Bai disappeared, the female cultivator showed an unhappy look and said, "Uncle, the materials and the furnace are not cheap. Hundreds of spirit stones have been thrown out! Aren't you afraid that he will take the things and run away?"

"Yumao guaranteed him and asked the clan leader to sign it. What can I do? However, I think this person can really talk to Yumao." Zhu Jianyang said with a smile.

"Zhu Yumao does have a wide range of friends, but he has never been out of Qiaoshan. He always thinks too well of others!" The female cultivator shook her head and sighed helplessly, "He can't do business, doesn't know the dangers of the world, and is always less guarded. I think his young man is quite smart and not a simple and honest person. Who knows if the name he told Zhu Yumao is a fake!"

"It doesn't matter whether the name is fake or not, as long as the friendship is real." Zhu Jianyang laughed, "If the boy never comes back, then we will just think of it as a lost bag of spirit stones, and let Yumao learn a lesson. If the boy comes again, it means that his character is not bad. A few hundred spirit stones can test his character, which is always worth it. In our situation, more friends mean more ways."

"More ways? Just practicing Qi." The female cultivator sighed again, obviously thinking that the bag of spirit stones was lost.

"What's wrong with practicing Qi?" Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and smiled, "Who didn't start from practicing Qi?"
