The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 143 It’s all here
Lin Bai was very surprised. Why did these two mortal enemies come to his house together? Didn't they fight on the way?
Yao Qianyuan looked at Lin Bai curiously, his eyes occasionally looking down and glancing at Pei Ning, as if he was envious and unwilling.

Gai Yingqiu had a smile on her face, but there seemed to be bitterness in that smile. I don’t know if she was thinking of Yang Shu.

Zhu Yumao dragged Miaomiao out of the yard and was teaching her carefully.

Pei Ning stood under the plum tree without saying a word.

"Junior sister, how does it feel to build the foundation?" When Yao Qianyuan saw that Lin Bai did not come to bribe her, she asked Pei Ning sourly.

"I haven't established my foundation yet." Pei Ning said coldly.

"But you've slept before!" Yao Qianyuan stepped forward, took Pei Ning's hand, and examined it carefully, clicking his tongue non-stop, "It's been nourished by the foundation building, and it's even whiter."

Pei Ning has a headache.

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

"Sister, why did you come here specially?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"For cultivators like us, those who are more accomplished come first. Don't call me senior sister from now on." Gai Yingqiu knows more etiquette than Yao Qianyuan.

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

"You are just too honest." Gai Yingqiu smiled and shook her head, looking even happier. She said with a smile, "Nothing happened this time, but Pei Ning didn't come back for a few days, so the teacher came to ask me about it, so I went to look for that bitch again, and finally found Fengming Pavilion. I heard Zhu Yumao say that you have established your foundation, so I decided to come and see you." When she said this, she said seriously, "Junior Sister Pei ranked first in both small and big competitions, and she is already the most outstanding among the casual cultivators who entered the sect. The master is worried, you don't have to worry too much."

"So that's how it is." Lin Bai felt relieved. He was afraid that the Tianchi sect would cause trouble and get involved in the vixen's affairs.

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

"Is there any hindrance?" Lin Bai discussed this matter with Pei Ning. According to Sister Pei, if Tianchi Sect insisted on intervening, she would just run away.

"If it were in the past, there would probably be some gossip in the sect." Gai Yingqiu smiled slightly, "But now that you have established your foundation and are a pill master, there won't be much of a hindrance. Besides, with that bitch and I to mediate, you two don't have to worry, just enjoy yourself." She laughed very happily, but also with a sense of loneliness, as if she was sad that she couldn't enjoy herself with Yang Shu.

"Thank you, senior sister. You and I are good friends, and we are gentlemen. We don't get involved in mundane matters, but I have made you work so hard for me." Lin Bai sighed.

"I have read the letter you wrote to me several times. Since you regard me as your confidant, how can I let you down?" Gai Yingqiu said seriously, "Do you want to join my sect? My ancestor loves to support young talents. If you want to join Tianchi Sect, I will ask him to accept you as his disciple."

She was so sincere that Lin Bai felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he had acted too well.

But forget about joining Tianchi Sect. Gai Chengfei is good friends with Gao Yuanyuan, and Lin Bai has a lot of secrets, so he dare not get too close to Jindan.

"I appreciate your kindness, Senior Sister." Lin Bai sighed and said sincerely, "Your ancestor is a famous swordsman, but I am an alchemist. If I become your disciple, I will probably make your ancestor angry all the time. Besides, how can I trouble you to move around?" Lin Bai looked straight into Gai Yingqiu's eyes and said sincerely, "We are close friends, so there is no need to hide anything from you. Although I am a casual cultivator, I admire the etiquette of the various sects and families in Qiaoshan, and I don't like fighting and killing. Although I have a knife and a sword in my hand, they are just for show. I have never been fierce with anyone, let alone seen blood."

"That's good too. Junior Sister Pei is sharp-minded, but you are a gentle person. The two of you working together conforms to the principles of yin and yang." Gai Yingqiu was deeply moved when he heard this, and felt more and more that Lin Bai was a good and open-minded person.

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

In the past, Lin Bai always called Yang Shu "senior", but now that he has successfully built his foundation, he calls him "senior brother".

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

But after a few months, Gai Yingqiu's regular gift should have accumulated enough. Lin Bai thought that he should accept the gift, but he had to give a good return gift.

"Alas." Gai Yingqiu shook her head and looked up at Qianshan Muyun. "Although you and Junior Sister Pei cannot see each other every day, you can always see each other once every one or two months, and you have a deep affection for each other, like a loving couple. And I... Alas, I went to Zhutao Garden to look for him several times, but I couldn't see him every time."

Lin Bai immediately put on a righteous expression and said, "Brother Yang, you have failed the beauty so badly. I am really angry!"

"Don't say that about him." Gai Yingqiu immediately defended Yang Shu. She said seriously, "He has great ambitions and is busy with many things. I don't ask to be with him all the time. I just want to see him from afar every few months."

Lin Bai couldn't understand it, but was greatly shocked.

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

"..." Gai Yingqiu actually felt embarrassed. She looked at Lin Bai, feeling rather embarrassed, and whispered, "I'm short of spiritual stones lately. Although I can buy the output of the sect at a cheaper price, but..." She spoke in a lower and lower voice, feeling even more embarrassed. "Good Junior Brother, can you lend me some spiritual stones? I'll return them to you in a few months."

Lin Bai was confused 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 others." Gai Yingqiu's voice was quite sad. "You know, that bitch is always watching me. She is the most mean-mouthed. If she knew that I borrowed money, the whole world would 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 traveling outside for the past few months, and even went to Mianlong Mountain. I have used up all the things I saved, and I haven't refined the elixir yet. How about you wait a while?" Lin Bai said with a wry smile.

"Oh." 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 turned slightly red.

"I'll come to see you in two days! I have something to tell you!" When Yao Qianyuan saw Lin Bai coming, he smiled and his tone was quite expectant.

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

Yao Qianyuan immediately sneered and said, "Pei Ning's eyebrows were relaxed, and the spring spirit was still there. He was not as cold as usual, but gentle. It was obvious that you two had been doing it day and night! Didn't you say that your realm was not stable at that time? Didn't you say that you had internal injuries?"

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

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

"I don't know shame, but I know what self-respect is!" Yao Qianyuan did not give in at all, "I'm not like some people who keep trying to get close to others, save money and give gifts, but don't know where they are thrown to, and don't know whether they are fed to dogs!"

"Stop swearing!" Lin Bai immediately became anxious.

However, Yao Qianyuan and Gai Yingqiu ignored the attempts to persuade them to stop fighting and they just started quarreling under the plum tree.

Zhu Yumao stopped scolding his daughter. The father and daughter watched from outside the fenced yard, and Miaomiao even clapped and cheered.

The two women became more and more excited as they talked, revealing each other's secrets without any scruples.

Pei Ning didn't care about the matter and pulled Lin Bai aside to talk.

"I haven't told you these days. I'll come back later. I also want to take a look at Senior Chen's calligraphy." Pei Ning is always a man of few words.

"Then you can still live here." Lin Bai was naturally happy about it.

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 before they bowed to Lin Bai and saluted to Zhu Yumao. The three women then went west together.

His ears were finally quiet, and Zhu Yumao took Miaomiao into the yard.

Lin Bai chatted with him for a few more words. Zhu Yumao was now working at Fengming Pavilion in Xinyifang, and Yao Gai and the others had come to Fengming Mountain to look for 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 disciple stared at each other.

"Master, no one will sleep with you anymore." Miaomiao held the whisk under her arm and poured tea for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai ignored her.

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

She was talking about Zhu Yuqiang.

In the past few days, the little girl tried to curry favor with Pei Ning, calling her sister and master's wife, which made Pei Ning feel very comfortable.

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

Lin Bai held his forehead with his hand, feeling a headache.

Is this the right thing to do as a disciple? Just don't let him get into trouble in the future!

Anyway, no matter what, since she allowed her younger aunt to sleep with the master, at least she was not betraying him. She was loyal to the master and was willing to help him relieve his worries.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai felt much more 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 Hunyuan transformation, the third transformation began. Starting from earth, earth gave birth to gold, which happened to be accomplished in the Zhu family.

This time, after building the foundation, practicing again, it was different. It was like practicing again, that subtle pain reappeared, as if re-casting flesh and blood.

Four months passed in a blink of an eye, and the Earth and Gold Tempering Body was complete. There were changes in the skin and flesh, but as to how big the changes would be, we would have to wait until the next transformation was completed to see.

For the past four months, Lin Bai did not just practice in seclusion. He also went out occasionally to chat with Zhu Yuqiang, play Miaomiao, talk with Zhu's children, and share his experience in alchemy.

During this time, Sister Pei came once and stayed for two days before leaving. Lin Bai didn't sleep much either, he just accompanied her to the Zhu family's Sutra Pavilion to look at the words left by the Yuanying. Gold gives birth to water, so we have to go to the Jiang family.

"The Jiang family is a den of dragons and tigers. But for the sake of the Hunyuan method, what does it matter if I stoop to those small branches and obtain great results?" Lin Bai clenched his fists.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai took his only apprentice to the plum tree in the fenced yard and taught him a lesson.

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

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

Lin Bai was very tired and said, "Wait until I come back, I will check your homework! If you can't answer it, I will beat you!" He was very serious and put on a sour face.

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

"Master, don't go. Miaomiao misses you." Miaomiao looked well-behaved, and her big black eyes were full of purity and innocence, which made people feel pity for her at first sight.

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

"I still miss my daddy." Miaomiao said again, looking pitiful.

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

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

After leaving this place, he took Miaomiao to Xinyifang.

There is no need to use the Purple Bamboo Boat this time, and the Purple Bamboo Boat has been given to a young descendant of the Zhu family, named Zhu Yuhuan, who also has the potential to build a foundation.

After returning to Xinyifang, Lin Bai went to Fengming Pavilion first and handed Miaomiao to Zhu Yumao.

After a brief chat, Lin Bai told Zhu Yumao many complaints about Miaomiao. When Zhu Yumao took out a bamboo stick and was about to hit Miaomiao on the palm, Lin Bai left with a cruel heart, regardless of Miaomiao's pleading and helpless look.

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

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

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

"Fellow Daoist, you are finally here!" The old cultivator was delighted to see Lin Bai and bowed. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "You have already completed the foundation building? Congratulations."

"Thanks to my fellow Taoist, I was lucky enough to build the foundation." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"You are destined to be together, so it should be so." The old cultivator was from a Yuanying sect, so he was not surprised. He just smiled and took out the wooden box and handed it over, saying: "The mandarin ducks send love to each other thousands of miles away, and you should cherish this friendship."

Is it true that people tend to have more random thoughts as they get older? Lin Bai did not dare to explain further, and only opened the wooden box to read the letter.

There were two letters. Qu Ruyi was as long-winded as usual. She first hinted that everything was fine with Xiuxiu, then said that the jade hairpin and pearl hairpin had been received, and then she said how good she was. She also said that she had picked up a lot of cicada shells and recalled the past with some emotion.

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

The second letter said that Xiuxiu had been feeling happy and sad at the same time recently, and no one knew what was going on. But when asked, she couldn't explain.

Lin Bai silently calculated the days. When Xiuxiu was happy or sad, it was the time when he lost the opportunity to build his foundation, but finally he got it back.

As for the theory of destiny, even though she could isolate herself from the rest of the world and deduce it, Xiuxiu still felt something in her heart.

Looking further, it turned out to be Qu Ruyi who was cursing.

She said that when she and Xiuxiu went to visit Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan said that as monks we should have a free and easy heart, as well as an unyielding determination. If we have someone we want in mind, we should cut through thorns and brambles, not afraid of hardships, and stay together until old age.

What else can I say? As long as Yun Zhonghe dares to move forward, Xiao Ruyi, you can go ahead boldly. Your uncle is here to help you in 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, it seems that the naivety 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 then took out a feather fan and a black cicada and sealed them in a wooden box. The former was for Xiuxiu as a toy to relieve her boredom; the latter was for Qu Ruyi, but the black cicada was no longer useful, and the Nascent Soul sealed in it 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 Pills and Gujing Pills, he gave him a bottle of Tiger and Wolf Pills. Unexpectedly, he liked it very much.

"I just took in my ninth concubine a few days ago. Fellow Taoist, you know me well." The old cultivator was very satisfied.

"..." Lin Bai could only congratulate him a few times and said a few words about the sect's inheritance being our responsibility.

After leaving the Crystal Palace, he went to Zhutao Garden to look for Chun Yuye.

The method of Hunyuan body tempering, the water-related spiritual energy is in the Jiang family, and water creates wood, so Lin Bai came to make a reservation and to build some relationships at the same time.

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

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

Chun Yu Ye became more cheerful and pulled Lin Bai into the cave to chat.

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

Chun Yu Ye didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, Chun Yuye looked at Lin Bai with great interest.

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

"It's okay." Chun Yu Ye waved his hand but said no more.

Lin Bai said goodbye and reflected in his heart that he should not pretend anymore and should behave uprightly in the future.

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 business, Lin Bai hurriedly refined a few batches of Tiger and Wolf Pills before going to look for Jiang Chun.

After chatting for a while and waiting for Jiang Chun to congratulate Lin Bai on his foundation building, Lin Bai immediately shamelessly said that he wanted to borrow the land of Yuhu Lake 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 her."

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

"When my sister heard that you have established your foundation, she agreed and said she wanted to meet you." Jiang Chun led Lin Bai to Yu Lake together.

When we arrived at the Jade Lake, we saw a small island in the middle of the lake with lush trees. There were two people standing under a small pavilion. They were clearly Jiang Xiaobai's sister.

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

"I haven't seen you for a few months. Fellow Daoist Yun has already established his foundation. This is cause for celebration." Jiang Xiaobai showed no expression.

"Thank you for letting me use 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 at the foundation building stage after all, and you have the elder sister from the Gu family to intercede for you, so you should be treated with respect." She lifted her wide sleeves, pointed at the pavilion, and said, "You are in your prime, so to prevent bad things from happening, 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 Lake, and you must obey me in everything."

"Little sister," Jiang Chun couldn't bear it any longer, "Friend Yun Dao is a noble man, how could you say such a thing?"

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

"That's good." Jiang Xiaobai nodded coldly to Lin Bai three times and went back to her black tower.

"My dear brother, please bear with me." Jiang Chun had a helpless expression.

"Just ignore what my sister said." Jiang Yu also spoke.

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

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

By the middle of the night, there was no one on the island in the middle of the lake. Jiang Yu went back to rest, and only the birds and insects could be heard.

Lin Bai came to the black tower and pushed it gently, and sure enough, it was not locked.

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

She looked surprised, with her hands on her chest, frowning and said, "How dare you trespass 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 downstairs.

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