The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 146 Shadows Become Three

Lin Bai said goodbye and left, returning to the Underworld Fire Cave Mansion.

Zhu Jianyang did not say an exact date this time, but for a cultivator, it was normal to prepare for something for three to five years.

But since he had this plan, Lin Bai thought he should prepare well.

When you are hanging around in Xinyifang, you just need to have a good mouth. But when you are outside Xinyifang, you need to have real skills.

Sit down cross-legged and quietly reflect on the new skills you have acquired.

Lin Bai served with all his heart and exchanged his sincerity for Jiang Xiaobai's sincerity, which allowed Jiang Xiaobai to carefully pick out a technique that matched Lin Bai's true nature.

The mist in the sleeve is also called the cloud in the sleeve, but it does not mean that the mist comes out from the sleeve, but it means that it can be released at will.

According to this method, it can only be used by a cultivator who has established his foundation, because he must look inward, communicate with his own destiny, and then evolve his destiny's mist. If it is poisonous fog or miasma, it can kill the enemy; if it is mist or illusion, it can block and trap the enemy.

Anyway, what effect it has depends on what kind of fog your own life is.

Lin Bai pondered for a long time, closed his eyes and practiced the method, then he saw mist on the stone plate.

"Since I established my foundation, I have become more comfortable and at ease in controlling the mist. Moreover, my life force can enter and exit freely, so I don't need to spend time and effort to participate in the transformation and creation. I can just borrow it."

Thinking of this, Lin Bai's heart moved, and a lot of mist suddenly surged out of his body, pouring out like a flood, unable to stop it in time.

This was the first time Lin Bai did this kind of thing outside of his body. He didn’t have enough experience and didn’t control himself well.

There was no rush. Lin Bai first looked inwards into his sea of ​​consciousness and saw that there was nothing unusual about the stone plate, and the fog around it had not decreased much.

With another thought in his mind, the mist quickly gathered and returned to his sea of ​​consciousness.

After trying this several times, Lin Bai closed his eyes and reflected and summarized.

"It consumes a lot of spiritual energy. If I want to cover an area of ​​100 meters, I'm afraid it can only last for two or three hours. But when my cultivation level improves in the future, it will be able to last longer!"

"The mist follows my heart and can be controlled with my spiritual sense. It doesn't take much effort."

After trying a few more times, I was able to use the cloud in my sleeve as I wished.

"I can make the mist transform into everything on the stone plate. Can I do it outside?"

As Lin Bai thought this, mist emanated from his body again, and then gathered into a flying knife. However, it only had the shape of a flying knife, and the appearance was still mist.

"Without the stone plate, I will lose the ability to create and will not be able to plan everything. When my realm is further elevated and I discover the wonderful uses of the stone plate, I may be able to create a mist outside my body and even create mountains, rivers and waves."

"My fog can block the observation of spiritual consciousness. If it covers an area, it can be used as a maze to block the enemy and isolate deduction."

Lin Bai pondered for a long time, wondering if he could seal the mist in a talisman and let others use it. When he was doing something secret, he would not be afraid to deduce it.

Of course, it needs to be someone you can trust, like Sister Pei and Little Sister Jiang; or someone you can trust like Senior Zhu Jianyang.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai decided to wait until another day. He didn't need it at the moment, and neither did Pei and Jiang.

There is still a lot to do next.

Lin Bai took out the treasure map given by Tie Huasheng.

The so-called treasure map actually only has a rough location, which is deep in the Mianlong Mountain. It had emitted auspicious light in the past, but Tie Huasheng had not found the method and had never found it.

Lin Bai didn't want to go at this moment. Besides, it would be better to tell Huang Ruhua, after all, it was her master who sent it.

Next is the art of alchemy. The notebook given by senior Zhu Jianshui is still there. It was left by Zhu Jianguang, and there are also Zhu Jianshui's comments and experience on it. It is a very precious thing.

There was also a newly refined flying knife. Lin Bai spent a lot of effort before Jiang Xiaobai agreed to help and let her family refine it.

As for the sword intent, I have not yet figured out the Nascent Soul sword intent, and it will take some time to imitate and outline it.

Moreover, that pure meaning is much more difficult to perceive than the meaning of the underground fire at the beginning. After all, there is only a piece of writing, and one can only feel its meaning. Unlike the underground fire, one can not enter the cave and feel it truly.

I also have to teach my apprentices and serve Sister Pei and Sister Jiang.

"There are so many things to do, let's finish this round of the Five Elements first."

Lin Bai made his plans and stopped practicing, simply lying down to rest.

The next day, Pei Ning came as expected, but Yao Qianyuan did not follow.

"Are you full?" Pei Ning asked as he sat down.

"I have already established my foundation and can practice fasting. I only eat some fresh fruits and vegetables occasionally. How can I eat too much?" Lin Bai pretended not to understand.

"Really?" Pei Ning smiled.

"Really." Lin Bai replied.

"You've been on that small island in the middle of the lake for more than two months. Are you sure you didn't eat too much?" Pei Ning asked again.

"I only eat some fruits occasionally, and I'm quite restrained, so I just taste them briefly." Lin Bai held her back.

"Is the melon juice refreshing?" Pei Ning asked again.

Lin Bai didn't understand, so he didn't answer. He just pushed her over and coaxed her a few times before she was convinced.

After the two of them finished their quarrel, they chatted a lot. Lin Bai talked about his experience in cultivation and his understanding of the swordsmanship, while Sister Pei talked about the affairs of the Tianchi Sect.

When talking about Xingnong, the two of them couldn't avoid another fight.

A day passed like this, Lin Bai saw Pei Ning off and turned to Zhutao Garden.

After chatting with Chunyu Ye for a while, Lin Bai asked Yang Shu again.

Gai Yingqiu wanted to lick Yang Shu, and Lin Bai had no way to persuade her, so he could only help her. He also made friends with Yang Shu and asked about the fox.

"I don't know what he's been busy with recently. He often runs between Xinyifang and Qiaoshan School, and he's rarely seen." Chun Yu Ye spoke softly, like a sister next door.

Lin Bai didn't ask any more questions and returned to his cave to practice.

The main method is to refine the body by Hunyuan, followed by the progress of cultivation, and finally the practice of the cloud in the sleeve.

Occasionally, he would come out of the cave to find someone to chat with and relieve his boredom, but he never met Yang Shu.

A month passed like this, and Lin Bai thought it was time to pay the accommodation fee for his good disciple, so he crawled out of the cave.

After chatting with Chun Yuye for a while, Lin Bai left Zhutao Garden.

I arrived at Yu Lake and climbed onto the small island with familiarity.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu both wore the Jiang family's standard robes, with their sleeves tied tightly and their hair in Taoist buns.

"Master." Miaomiao bowed obediently, then walked forward pitifully, took Lin Bai's hand, looked up and said, "Master, why have you lost weight?" As she spoke, she put her face against Lin Bai's hand, rubbing it, her affection and longing for him truly beyond words.

What on earth is this girl learning? Your father is such a kind man, how could he have a daughter like you?

Lin Bai held his forehead and thought about finding the most beautiful bamboo to make a bamboo whip after returning to Zhutao Garden.

But thinking about it again, Lin Bai realized that he also liked to pretend in the past. From this perspective, the inheritance is in order, and they are worthy of being master and disciple.

"Senior and Miaomiao really have a deep relationship between master and disciple." Jiang Yu sighed.

Lin Bai had no choice but to ask a few more questions, but the girl's answers were all good.

"Miaomiao can be where she is today thanks to Xiaoyuer's contribution." Lin Bai praised Jiang Yu again.

"Jiang Yu doesn't dare to take credit for it." Jiang Yu bowed.

"Master, Sister Xiaoyuer is very kind to me." Miaomiao held Lin Bai's hand and said to Jiang Yu, "Sister Xiaoyuer, I want to tell Master something."

Jiang Yu smiled and bowed, then went to fish in the distance. "Miao Miao, did you feel wronged here?" After Jiang Yu walked away, Lin Bai squatted down, held Miao Miao's hands, and asked with concern.

"No." Miaomiao shook her head, put her little mouth close to Lin Bai's ear, and protected it with one hand, and whispered: "Xiaoyuer's sister is beautiful, Master, do you sleep with her? I kneel to her every day, and she is very easy to talk to."

Is she easy to talk to? That's all Master has worked so hard to prepare for you!
However, Lin Bai was still pleased that this disciple was not accepted in vain and knew how to respect his master.

"You don't have to worry about these." Lin Bai patted her head, "Just remember, don't play tricks on Xiao Yu'er's sister. She is more cunning than you."

"I have never been a cunning person since I was a child." Miaomiao said immediately.

"Do you remember what I said?" Lin Bai glared at her.

"I've remembered." Miaomiao replied.

"Go and have fun." Lin Bai drove her away and went up to the Black Tower to greet the landlord.

After chatting for a while, he paid for his accommodation.

"The wood element is full of spiritual energy and can inspire people to move forward, which is not bad."

Jiang Bai paused for a while and then said, "Your method of tempering the body does have some tricks. In the future, you need to let me check each of the five elements you cultivate."

Her face was still flushed, but she looked serious and explained earnestly: "This method of tempering the body is twice as effective but half as effective. It is time-consuming and laborious, and quite useless. I need to watch you all the time, otherwise you will go astray and it will be too late."

You want to eat it, right? Sister Pei knows all the five elements, do you want them all?
Lin Bai had no choice but to agree. Now that Miaomiao was in her territory, it didn't matter if she worked a little harder for her only disciple.

"Miao Miao is much more sensible now, but your sister has worked hard." Lin Bai said.

"It's only a few times a month. It's not that hard." Jiang Xiaobai replied.

"..." Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Miao Miao didn't cause any trouble here, did she?"

"She is only a few years old, how could she cause any trouble?" Jiang Xiaobai sighed, "She has only been here for a few days, and Jiang Yu gave her the flying knife and the flute you gave her. Such a cunning person has taken advantage of my sister."

"I'll find something for Xiao Yuer later." Lin Bai hurried to coax him.

After another commotion, Lin Bai came out of the black tower.

I took Miaomiao back to Fengming Pavilion, but I didn't see Zhu Yuling. Senior Zhu Jianyang was not there either. Only Zhu Yumao was the shopkeeper.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Bai sent Miaomiao back to Zhutao Garden.

Considering that Gai Yingqiu's gift had not been given out yet, Lin Bai went to find Chun Yu Ye to inquire.

"What a coincidence. He didn't come back until the afternoon. He should still be there now. You can go there by yourself." Chun Yu Ye said with a smile.

Lin Bai thanked him and went to look for Yang Shu again.

It was already dark at this time. I walked along the path in the bamboo forest, listening to the sound of bamboo waves and looking up at the starry sky.

Soon I saw a small courtyard with an open fence gate. There was a faint candlelight in the house, but no human voices could be heard.

"Excuse me, is Brother Yang here?" Lin Bai stood at the door and said loudly, "Yun Zhonghe is here to visit you."

"Come come come!" The door opened and Yang Shu's laughter was heard.

Lin Bai stepped into the courtyard and came to the door of the house, and saw that in addition to Yang Shu, there was also Chunyu Tong.

The two men were sitting around a low table with wine bowls and jars on it, looking quite rough.

"I am sorry to disturb your pleasure by visiting you late at night." Lin Bai smiled and bowed, then took the wine gourd from his waist and said, "I can only offer you good wine. I hope you won't blame me."

If it was during Qi training, this would be a little inappropriate. Now that Lin Bai has established his foundation, he can be on equal terms with the two of them.

"You have actually established your foundation?" Yang Shu's face had turned red from drinking. He waved his hand repeatedly, "Come and sit down."

"I'm lucky enough to have established the foundation." Lin Bai sat next to Yang Shu, rearranged the wine bowls, poured Yang Shu's first, then filled Chunyu Tong's, and finally his own.

"This is top-quality monkey wine, sweet and fragrant!" Yang Shu knew the quality of the wine very well, and drank it all in one gulp, swaying back and forth, "Drink it quickly!"

Chunyu Tong only took a sip, while Lin Bai drank it all.

"Where did you get it?" Yang Shu snatched the gourd. He poured some for Lin Bai first, then poured some for himself. Maybe he was drunk, and the wine spilled all over the table.

"It was in the Sleeping Dragon Mountain." Lin Bai smiled and said, "I lost the opportunity to build my foundation at that time, and I was unhappy, so I found a few monkeys to bully me."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shu put his arm around Lin Bai's shoulders and said in a mean way, "How did you bully me?"

"Brother Yang, I'm not into that." Lin Bai waved his hand. Seeing that Yang Shu was indeed drunk, he said casually, "Was the incident at Longmenfang really caused by the fairy in Brother Yang's family?"

This matter is no longer a secret in the Qiaoshan area, and all the major sects and families who should know about it know about it.

When Yang Shu heard this, he drank two more bowls of wine and kept pouring it.

Chun Yutong smiled and said, "More and more people know about this now."

"You know it, then you know it!" Yang Shu was very upset and wiped his mouth, "My family can throw away a Yuanying, but other families don't even have a Yuanying!"

After these words were spoken, Chunyu Tong was innocently implicated.

Lin Bai, however, acted calm and said, "Brother Yang, what is the rule now?" He acted generous and said seriously, "Fairy Chen Yu was born in Brother Yang's family. She has achieved so much now because you raised her one bite at a time. She should belong to your family!"

"That's right!" Chun Yu Tong also spoke up. He and Lin Bai both wanted to find out the news, and they became more and more in sync with each other.

"It's difficult." Yang Shu seemed to be drunk, and he didn't hide anything. "The old ancestor turned into a human form after his Nascent Soul, and he spoke fluently. He sent a letter saying that Mianlong Mountain is his hometown, Qiaoshan Sect is his mother's home, and Jiuyin Mountain is his new home, so he doesn't want us to start a war."

Good fellow, now he has a family, a fox has three burrows. The fox said all the good and bad things. Is this a human or a spirit animal? Lin Bai was quite impressed, thinking that this fox could talk better than a human.

Chun Yutong was also very curious and asked, "Whether it's the new home or the old home, it still depends on what Fairy Chen Yu wants, right?"

"Ancestor Chenyu said that she is close to the human race and does not want to return to Mianlong Mountain. She wants to choose another person to perform the life contract method." Yang Shu continued to drink.

Chun Yutong pondered for a moment and said, "Fairy Chen Yu is a Nascent Soul, and her spirit beast naturally has the ability to observe the heavens and the earth. Since she wants to choose someone, she thinks it must be very outstanding."

"Fellow Daoist Chunyu is right!" Lin Bai was just making do. It wasn't his turn anyway, so he casually asked, "Brother Yang, why don't you give it a try? Fairy Chen Yu is from your family after all, so you should consider our old friendship."

Chunyu Tong also nodded.

"I can't." Yang Shu shook his head. "When I first entered Taoism, Patriarch Chenyu said that I was stupid and should be paired with a stupid deer."

Chun Yu Tong and Lin Bai looked at each other, both of them had normal expressions, and there was no sign of them trying to hold back their laughter.

"Since Fairy Chenyu wants to select people, there must be a rule, right?" Chunyu Tong asked again.

"Hehe, how should I know? It seems like they are still talking." Although Yang Shu was drunk, he was not stupid and did not say much.

Lin Bai drank a glass of wine, and felt itchy. He took out the wine gourd and poured more wine for Yang Shu, and asked, "I wonder what Fairy Chen Yu looks like?"

"She transformed into a human form after she reached Nascent Soul stage. I have never seen her before. Before that, she looked like an ordinary fox, but with light green fur." ​​Yang Shu said casually.

Chun Yu Tong also became interested and asked, "What does Fairy Chen Yu like?" He snatched Lin Bai's wine gourd and poured wine for Yang Shu.

"That old ancestor doesn't have many hobbies." Yang Shu tilted his head and thought for a long time, then said, "If there is one, it's probably that he loves sleeping."

Love to sleep? Sleeping is good! No wonder you want to go to Jiuyin Mountain! Lin Bai is more energetic. He has the name of the Wheel-Turning Master and has been through physical training for a long time. Although he does not want to act like an animal, if he can really bring home a Yuanying fox, what would it matter if he sacrifices himself to feed the fox?

Even if the Yuanying spirit beast has a strong physique and tough skin, it should be able to survive by gritting its teeth, right? Besides, Fairy Chen Yu has already transformed, and maybe even the smell of a fox is gone!
If I can practice the life contract with the fox in the future, then the man and the beast will be united, and we will suffer together and prosper together. In the future, if I can bring the Yuanying fox with me, won't it be easy to do anything?

Lin Bai looked at Yang Shu eagerly, and Chun Yu Tong was also extremely eager.

Seeing their looks, Yang Shu sneered and said, "When I say sleep, I mean sleepiness. It has no hidden meaning. It's not as dirty as you two think!"

What's the point? Lin Bai immediately gave up the idea, and felt that it would never happen to him. He should go back and practice diligently, and don't think about taking advantage of the opportunity.

I wish you all a happy new year! Happy New Year's Day!
