The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 114 The Old Man
Gently gather it, twist it slowly, then pick it up again, big and small beads falling onto the jade plate.

After spending a long time with Pei Ning, you can see her character. She is usually quite cool, sometimes likes to insult others, and sometimes says some dirty words.

But he just turned the wheel, slept, and didn't even blush, nor did he care about what others said.

With courage comes fear. If you meet her with sincerity, she will be a little uncomfortable and will keep silent. If you take the opportunity to tease her to speak, she will be embarrassed and angry.

But Lin Bai knew her inside out and had already figured out all the details. Whether she had arrived, what the signs were before she arrived, and what she looked like after she arrived, all of them were clear.

But I don’t know what happened today, her waist, which had always been straight and strong, became much softer, which seemed quite accommodating.

After falling several times, Pei Ning took a long time to recover.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lin Bai looked into her dark eyes.

Pei Ning lay on his side, his face still flushed, blinking his eyes, and said, "It seems like you are a little different."

She knew Lin Bai best and could detect any subtle changes.

"What's the difference?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"It's just..." Pei Ning's face turned even redder, a little embarrassed, "Your body is a little hotter than before, especially..."

"No wonder you came so late today..." Before Lin Bai could finish his words, he saw her glaring at him and stopped talking quickly.

"Have you learned something weird again?" Pei Ning's expression was serious. She knew Lin Bai too well.

"How could that be?" Lin Bai quickly refuted, and then whispered: "I got a method of body training and I'm learning it recently."

"Is it the body-refining method or the double-day-off method? Where have you been in body-refining?" Pei Ning became bolder and bolder as he spoke, with a smile on his face.

"I got it last time I went out." Lin Bai took out the animal skin and showed it to her.

Pei Ning sat up and read it carefully. The more she read, the more she frowned. She shook her head and said, "It's a waste of time and effort, and it's useless." She threw the animal skin back and asked, "Did you encounter any danger when you were outside that time?"

"I'll tell you later." Lin Bai didn't plan to tell her about Tie Huasheng.

Xinyifang has not been very peaceful recently, and the Qiaoshan Sect seems to be causing trouble, so the less you know, the safer you will be, and the most important thing is to practice with peace of mind.

Pei Ning and Lin Bai have been in cahoots for a long time, so he naturally understood what Lin Bai meant: the water is a bit deep.

She nodded slightly, bit her lip, and whispered, "I got seventh in this competition. Next time I will be in the top three, and then first."

Pei Ning meant that from now on I will not be a burden to you, but will protect you instead.

"Sister Ning, you are so nice!" Lin Bai pinched hard.

"Don't call me aunt anymore?" Pei Ning asked with a smile.

When she was confused just now, she heard Lin Bai calling her aunt, and she naturally didn't bother to respond. Then Lin Bai stopped, and she reluctantly responded randomly.

The Underground Fire Cave was already hot, and when the two of them moved a little, it became even hotter.

There was another commotion, and before Pei Ning could catch his breath, he asked, "Are you still dating Jiang girl?"

"She's locked up, how can I get along with her?" Lin Bai remembered that he hadn't read the girl's letter yet, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he calmed down and tried to be calm as usual. "Besides, she is a descendant of the Golden Core, and the Jiang family has high hopes for her. I'm just a tenant, how can I marry her?"

"You are pretending very well, unlike when I mention Sister Zhen." Pei Ning took back his hand, smiled, and said, "But you have explained so much, there must be something wrong."

"Believe it or not." Lin Bai argued, thinking that it was indeed the person next to him and he could not hide it at all.

Pei Ning smiled, put her chin on Lin Bai's shoulder, and said, "I only come down the mountain once every few months. Thank you for waiting for me." Her voice softened, "Since you don't want to take an ordinary concubine, then find a suitable person to join the Tao. But she must have good character."

This has been said before.

Lin Bai still couldn't tell whether her words were true or not, so he refused: "Besides you, there is no room for anyone else in my heart."

"I'm serious." Pei Ning was very serious. "Every time I came to see you, you never let me leave your shabby bed. If you can coax Jiang girl into your arms in the future, I won't say anything. At the very least, doesn't the Zhu family want to be closer to you?"

Lin Bai just kept shaking his head. He really had no interest in Jiang girl. After all, she was still too young and a girl. Moreover, Sister Pei loved to test people on this kind of thing, but she was very serious about other things.

Seeing that Lin Bai was determined, Pei Ning finally stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, she smiled and said, "You are the best at pretending." She tapped Lin Bai's forehead and said, "Then you'd better clean up in the future and don't let me see any clues."

Lin Bai thought about it and felt that if he wanted to hide, Sister Pei might not be able to notice anything unusual.

Pei Ning finally stopped talking about these trivial things and instead talked about her participation in the sect competition. While Lin Bai was doing it, he also talked about his experience of feeling the meaning of the earth fire.

They rarely see each other, and after talking about business for a while, they can't help but get bored. It's like this when you've been hungry for a long time, and you wish you could eat too much and die.

The two of them had been shamelessly doing this for two days, and it was time for Pei Ning to go back.

After putting on the Taoist robe, Pei Ning's originally cold face still had a hint of tenderness, and even his voice became much softer.

“It’s getting more and more ridiculous.”

This was the first time Pei Ning put on clothes after arriving at Lin Bai's cave, but he was about to leave.

She usually says some reflective words after putting on her Taoist robes.

After sending her out of the cave, the two of them strolled around the market town, chatting along the way, just like an ordinary couple.

"If you hadn't come here, would we have been married? I was pregnant with your child, and I would weave straw sandals at home every day while you would go out and sell them. Occasionally when you felt bored, you would go out to rob houses and do good deeds." Pei Ning adjusted the pearl hairpin on her hair and said with a smile.

"I don't like fighting and killing. Being a rich man is enough." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Yes, get a few more concubines." Pei Ning tilted her head slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be stopped. She tapped Lin Bai's chest with her finger, "I'm not a jealous woman, you can find someone if you want, don't keep tossing me. I can't live without you, but I also like to practice swordsmanship, so I can't stay with you every day." As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Lin Bai, and said seriously: "If you don't find someone, I will help you find a junior sister and trick her into having sex with you. She will be on the first day and I will be on the fifteenth day, so there will always be someone to share my burden."

Is this human language? Lin Bai said seriously, "I don't have any other requirements, just good looks."

"Okay, just wait." Pei Ning nodded with a smile on her lips, turned around and left, then turned back, "Don't follow me, so that Gai Yingqiu won't bother you." As she spoke, she stepped into Tianchi Pavilion.

Lin Bai went back obediently, closed the cave, and first took out the letter from Jiang Yatou.

"Practice is the main thing, and refining the elixir is the auxiliary. Don't get close to women, it hurts others and yourself."

There are only sixteen words, but they are full of wisdom and wisdom. If someone who is not familiar with the matter reads them, one would think that it was written by a respected senior.

Lin Bai waved his hand, and the letter paper caught fire and turned into ashes.

Taking out a pen and paper, Lin Bai wrote a reply: You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of a fish?

What I mean is, you are not me, how do you know the pleasure I get from indulging in women? I am willing to indulge in women.

Lin Bai sealed the letter, took out the alchemy furnace, and began to refine the Tiger and Wolf Pills.

This time there were five servings! I wonder if Jiang Chun eats this as a meal.

After refining the Tiger and Wolf Pills, Lin Bai refined several batches of Essence-Securing Pills and also several batches of Qi-Condensing Pills.

After packing up, Lin Bai left the cave and went to look for Jiang Chun.

"Brother Jiang." Lin Bai took out the wooden box.

"It's ready so quickly?" Jiang Chun opened it and looked at it in surprise, then nodded with great satisfaction. "It is my responsibility to inherit the family heritage!"

He put away the wooden box and bowed to Lin Bai, "My dear brother, you have also contributed to the inheritance of my Jiang family! If my concubines can get pregnant, my dear brother will be the first to contribute!"

"..." Lin Bai always felt that this was not right, but he could not refute it. He took out the letter and handed it over, "Daoyou Xiao Jiang's words are quite thought-provoking. I have learned a lot, so I wrote back."

"I will pass it on to you, my dear brother." Jiang Chun immediately agreed.

"Brother Jiang," Lin Bai was concerned about another matter, "Can we go to the Earth Fire Cave Mansion again?"

The method of tempering the body is for defense, and the sword is for attack, and both must be taken into account. Lin Bai likes to do both, and this is the case when he treats Sister Pei, and also when he treats himself.

"That's not difficult." Jiang Chun hesitated for a moment, "Just follow me."

He first went to find his fellow Qigong practitioners and explained the situation here. Then he took Lin Bai and headed towards the Earth Fire Cave.

Arriving at the entrance of the cave, Jiang Chun spoke a few words to the two Qigong practitioners guarding the gate, went in with two bottles of Tiger and Wolf Pills, and then pulled Lin Bai in.

"You have to help me." After walking for a while, Jiang Chun said to Lin Bai with a pained look on his face.

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was talking about the Tiger and Wolf Pills.

"I'll help Brother Jiang refine two more furnaces later." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"That's the best." Jiang Chun was satisfied.

Following the old path, the two soon arrived deep into the cave.

The underground fire was still raging, and the people here were still the same people from last time.

"Isn't this Chunzi? Are you here to ask me to make Tiger and Wolf Pills for you?" A shirtless man laughed.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone here laughed.

Obviously, Jiang Chun's misdeeds have become known to everyone.

Jiang Chun's face was not looking good, and he said angrily: "Jiang Huo, uncle has already issued an order not to mention this matter again! Are you going to break the rules?"

The man named Jiang Huo chuckled twice, and as expected, he didn't mention it again. Instead, he looked at Lin Bai.

"Are you an alchemist?" Jiang Huo asked.

"That's right." Lin Bai bowed.

When the man saw Lin Bai bowing, he quickly bowed back.

The Jiang family has strict rules, which is evident from this.

"Are you the one who makes the elixir for Jiang Chun?" Jiang Huo asked again.

"Not bad." Lin Bai replied.

Jiang Huo looked at Lin Bai again and asked with a smile: "How many pills did you make in one furnace of Gujing Pills? What's their quality? How good or bad is it?"

"I'm a new learner and haven't mastered the skills yet." Lin Bai replied with a smile.

"Where is the Qi Condensation Pill?" Jiang Huo asked.

"One furnace produces eighteen pills, of average to low quality." Lin Bai revealed his clumsiness and smiled with shame.

Jiang Huo smiled when he heard that, and stopped asking questions. He turned around and was about to leave, but when he saw Lin Bai bowing again, he had to patiently return the greeting.

"You are too polite!" Jiang Huo bowed slightly, but said he was dissatisfied, and then he went to chat with Jiang Chun. Lin Bai also found it funny. These alchemists have lived here for many years. They are not very good-tempered, but they don't have so many twists and turns in their minds.

From this we can see that Jiang girl is the oddball in the Jiang family.

As you approach the source of the underground fire, the scorching heat hits you in the face. It has the meaning of surging and endless, and also the meaning of annihilation and burning.

His robe was torn and his hair was burnt.

Lin Bai felt like he was falling into a furnace. His skin was dark red, and fire was slowly surging in his flesh and blood. But after waiting for a while, he felt the burning sensation subside. Although the underground fire was surging, he did not feel uncomfortable, but rather felt a sense of closeness.

Two steps forward, the ground fire became stronger. Lin Bai sat cross-legged and observed and savored it carefully.

After a cup of tea, my eyes started to feel sore and the burning sensation in my body started to reappear.

The fire source here is not very strong, and Jindan cultivators can easily withstand it.

Lin Bai estimated that if he could practice the Hunyuan Body Tempering Method here for thirty to fifty years, he would not be afraid of the source of the earth fire even when practicing Qi.

"But how can an ordinary person endure for thirty to fifty years? Wouldn't their cultivation and skills fall behind? It would be better to improve their realm. So, this Hunyuan Body Tempering Method is useless."

Closing his eyes, Lin Bai took out the alchemy furnace, waved his hand to attract a small ball of fire, and closed his eyes to refine the Qi Condensation Pill.

The elixir was ready, and the elixir furnace was put away. While Lin Bai was feeling the meaning of the earth fire, he carefully copied it in his mind.

After a while, he went onto the stone plate, trying to outline the surging meaning of the source of the earth's fire.

This went on for dozens of times, and then Jiang Chun came to call for help.

"Fire poison eats at the heart, don't get too close next time." Jiang Huo kindly reminded.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Taoist." Lin Bai bowed.

"You...you should stop being so polite! People who don't know would think you are from my Jiang family!" Jiang Huo returned the greeting angrily and turned away.

After Jiang Chun came out of the cave, the two chatted for a while about some magical methods to improve sexual performance, and then Lin Bai returned to his own cave.

After hanging up a sign that read "retreat", Lin Bai came to the stone plate, concentrated on recalling the meaning of the underground fire, and then sketched the underground fire.

After working hard for several days, he made some progress. Lin Bai opened his eyes, took out the Fire Scale Sword, and tried to attach the power of Earth Fire.

After a long pause, he thrust out his sword, and there was a loud bang. But although the momentum was strong, the power of the earth fire did not increase much.

"It takes time to temper the Hunyuan body; the sword intent needs to be comprehended and savored, and it can't be achieved in a short time."

Lin Bai was not discouraged. This is how spiritual practice works. It cannot be rushed.

From then on, Lin Bai practiced diligently every day, focusing on tempering his body, followed by cultivation, and then comprehending the meaning of earth fire.

Finally, I would make some pills from time to time to relieve my mood.

Another month passed quickly, and more than eight years had passed in the stone plate.

The method of tempering the body has made further progress. The fire energy in the flesh and blood is extremely abundant and is constantly running. The skin on the outside is still slightly dark red, and the body surface is slightly warm. It is closer to the fire aura, and it is more handy to control the earth fire, and even consumes very little spiritual power.

The spiritual energy in the sea of ​​​​qi also contains fire, and has a slight burning feeling.

As for the soul, Lin Bai's realm is too low and he can't really feel it.

His cultivation was also very smooth, without any obstacles. Although he had three spiritual orifices and absorbed a lot of fire spiritual energy, he could not compare with those with more spiritual orifices. However, he had a stone plate, and although most of his time was spent on tempering his body, his progress was not slow.

"The progress is just right, not too slow, but not too fast either."

Lin Bai took out the Huolin Sword again and covered it with his spiritual consciousness. His mind turned, and sparks appeared on the sword, followed by flames.

There is not much earth fire on it, but it is pretty good for the Qi Refining Stage. If you face someone of the same realm, you can easily suppress them, unless they are restrained by their own destiny.

Lin Bai sat there for a while, sorted out what he had learned, and refined the Sperm-Securing Pills that he had not yet finished refining, then went out to play.

After feeling depressed for a long time, Lin Bai wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Senior Zhu Jianyang, and then go to Yao Qianyuan to ask when Sister Pei would come down the mountain, and also whether Miss Jiang had replied to the letter...

A lot of stuff.

After leaving the Earth Fire Cave and the Jiang family's property, I just stepped onto the street and suddenly felt a sense in my heart.

It's not a simple matter of good or bad luck, but rather a feeling of anxiety and difficulty in calming down.

Lin Bai immediately turned around and went home, thinking anxiously.

What happened?
"Is it Sister Pei who wants to catch me cheating? No, she really wanted to pimp me that day. Besides, I am a virgin, innocent! Why should I be afraid of being caught cheating?"

"Liu Dabao? That's not right. His affairs have nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me."

"Is that Tie Huasheng? How dare his master and disciple come to Xinyifang? Is Gao Yuanyuan a freeloader? According to Senior Zhu Jianyang, if Tie Huasheng is successful, he will face the golden elixir tribulation within three to five years. He will definitely look for a peaceful place."

"Could it be that Tie Huasheng was captured by Gao Yuanyuan and he exposed me and Senior Zhu? In that case, at most I can be convicted of concealing the truth... Besides, if that's the case, I'm just a small Qi training shrimp, so I can just go and catch him. Since you didn't come to ask, it means you weren't implicated because of Tie Huasheng's matter."

"I am honest and kind to others. Who have I offended? Could it be that the Jiang family found out about my private relationship with Jiang girl? We only communicated privately, without any confidential information or flirting. We just discussed cultivation matters."

Lin Bai thought about it for a long time and had a guess in his mind, but it still needed to be verified.

When he found Jiang Chun, Lin Bai put on a smile.

"Brother Jiang, you look so happy. Is there any good news?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"One of my ordinary concubines is pregnant." Jiang Chun was very proud.

"Congratulations!" Lin Bai didn't know much about their Jindan family. He just knew that male cultivators who entered the Tao and did not achieve great success would usually have several ordinary concubines. If one of them became pregnant and gave birth to a child with spiritual awareness, the family would reward him.

"You have been in seclusion for more than a month, and are you thinking about alchemy?" Jiang Chun asked with a smile.

"Brother Jiang, just wait. I'll open the furnace for you later." Lin Bai understood what he meant and asked casually, "You haven't been out for a few days. Is there anything unusual happening in Xinyifang recently?"

Jiang Chun shook his head. "It's nothing more than a conflict between a casual cultivator and the store owner. It's nothing serious."

"What about our Qiaoshan Sect?" Lin Bai lowered his voice, "That Senior Yang who patrols the city is from the Qiaoshan Sect. Did he find out anything?"

"This is a secret, how would I know?" Jiang Chun smiled, and whispered, "However, a few days ago, people from Yunxia Sect and Jiuyin Mountain went to Qiaoshan Sect, led by Yuanying, I don't know what it was about."

"Nascent Soul..." Lin Bai smiled helplessly, "How big of a mess did Liu Dabao get into?"

"Liu Dabao is just a Qi cultivator. It would be disgraceful for a Yuanying to even look at him for a second." Jiang Chun said confidently, "Maybe the person behind Liu Dabao has been dug out."

Lin Bai also thinks so.

Just as he was trying to get some more information, he suddenly saw Yao Qianyuan strolling over.

"Junior Sister Pei asked me to bring you a message!" Yao Qianyuan walked forward without any greeting, not looking like a disciple of a sect at all.

Seeing this, Jiang Chun bowed to Yao Qianyuan and said, "Please chat slowly, both of you." Then he walked away.

"Senior Sister Yao, please come into the cave and talk." Lin Bai led Yao Qianyuan into the cave, closed the door, and then asked, "What does Pei Ning want to say?"

Yao Qianyuan just sat down and looked at Lin Bai with a smile.

They are all rats!

"Please accept it, Senior Sister." Lin Bai took out a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills and presented it to her.

"Not bad." Yao Qianyuan opened it and smelled it, and was very satisfied. She changed her expression and said softly, "Let's sleep first!"

She was asking for filial piety one moment and flirting with others the next. Lin Bai had never seen anyone change so quickly!

“……”Lin Bai had a headache.

"I won't tease you anymore."

Yao Qianyuan smiled and said, "Junior Sister Pei said that there are a lot of sexy women outside, so she asked you to stay in seclusion and not go out."

This was a codeword set down by Pei Ning, meaning that now that Qu Chengjia was here, they had to behave themselves.

I thought this codeword would not be used, but I didn't expect...

Yao Qianyuan smiled, looked at Lin Bai meaningfully, and said, "Does this sentence by Junior Sister Pei include me as well?"

"How could that be? Senior sister is a straightforward person, not at all... not that." Lin Bai said perfunctorily.

"Am I not flirty in your eyes?" Yao Qianyuan asked with a smile.

Lin Bai rubbed his temple and asked, "How is Pei Ning now?"

"She said she had some enlightenment and went into seclusion." Yao Qianyuan lazily kicked off his shoes and rubbed Lin Bai with his toes.

Lin Bai moved back and asked, "I heard from Daoist Fellow Jiang Chun that a Yuanying cultivator from Yunxia Sect went to Qiaoshan Sect. Senior Sister, do you know why?"

"How should I know?" Yao Qianyuan shook his head and whispered, "It should still be about what happened last time."

Lin Bai was silent.

"You--why are you hiding?" Yao Qianyuan kicked with his toes, and when he saw that he couldn't hit anyone, he said, "Let's go! Go out and play!"

"Senior Sister, you just passed a message to Pei Ning, how could you forget? She asked me to meditate in seclusion." Lin Bai was helpless.

"You do whatever she tells you to do?" Yao Qianyuan glared at Lin Bai.

"Of course, I'm the most obedient." Lin Bai replied.

"Heh." Yao Qianyuan said disdainfully, "When she asked you to stop, did you stop? When she said no, did you refuse to give it to her?"

Lin Bai was speechless.

"Let's go." Yao Qianyuan hooked her feet, "Put on my shoes." Her tone was quite soft and charming, with a hint of spring, "Let's go take a look at that slut."

This refers to Gai Yingqiu.

"Why are you looking at her?" Lin Bai was curious.

"Gao Yuanyuan is a guest on the mountain, Qu Chengjia is here too, and he brought his juniors with him."

Yao Qianyuan smiled happily, "The little kid volunteered to take them out to play."
