The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 171 Death and Life
Cave quiet room.

Qinghu disguised himself as Gu Qingshui with the intention of playing a trick on others. After being exposed, he did not even blush, but lay down on his back, showing no demeanor of an elder at all.

"Ancestor." Lin Bai knelt on the ground, extremely respectful.

"Nothing happened this time." The fox's tail moved back and forth, and said, "I have received the things you put in Xiaohua Cave. She knew I was coming to Qiaoshan, so she asked me to thank her."

"Ah, she is so polite." Lin Bai sighed, "I am a close friend of hers, why is she so distant?" After establishing a close relationship, Lin Bai asked with concern, "Ancestor, how is Huang Ruhua doing now?"

"I am currently in meditation and will soon be successful." The green fox did not have the airs of a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator, his tone was just lazy.

"Where's Xiuxiu?" Lin Bai asked again.

"Practicing secret methods." She said briefly, as if she didn't want to talk more about Xiuxiu. She looked at Lin Bai with her two fox eyes and said, "You are just like that tomboy from Yunxia Sect. You both smell like a dead wood cicada."

Tomboy? Qu Ruyi? You can even smell that?

Lin Bai immediately took advantage of the situation and asked shamelessly, "The ancestor actually knows Senior Wood Demon?"

"More than knowing him." The fox's tail moved, and said, "If I hadn't shown him the way, how could he have thought of living in the cave and imitating the cicada pupa. How could he have conceived a baby?"

Are you kidding me? Lin Bai's face showed a mixture of shock and admiration, and he bowed down and said, "The old ancestor guided people and pointed out the great way in a casual manner, which really makes us bow down to him."

"No wonder you can make friends with my apprentice." said the fox.

Are you scolding me or your apprentice? Lin Bai bowed again, intending to be honest.

"Did you two get the wood demon's things?" Green Fox asked again.

"Yes." Lin Bai answered seriously, and then said: "Last time, when the ancestor of the Gu family passed away, Senior Mu Yao also visited Qiaoshan. He looked at me at that time. I wanted to kowtow to him and thank him for his kindness in teaching, but I never thought that Senior Mu Yao was summoned by the ancestor Xiang and never showed up again."

"He's gone." Green Fox also became interested in talking about the Wood Demon, saying, "The Wood Demon is still too young, and was tricked away by Old Xiang in just a few words."

Swindled away? Did the Xiang Patriarch and the Wood Demon go on a long journey? Since the matter involved the Nascent Soul, Lin Bai did not dare to ask any more questions.

Green Fox raised his eyes, glanced at Lin Bai, and said: "You have a harmonious and natural state, just like me, with the spirit of Hunyuan."

"Ancestor," Lin Bai moved forward and said honestly, "Junior has practiced a body-tempering technique." As he spoke, he took out an animal skin with the Hunyuan Body-Tempering Technique written on it and presented it to him with both hands.

The fox stared at the animal skin for a while, then she moved her tail and the skin floated towards her.

After a quick glance, it flew back into Lin Bai's hands.

"This is not something you humans practice, but something my monster race practices." The fox smiled, "Remember, after you reach the Golden Core stage, each practice takes at least a hundred years, and the five elements take five hundred years to transform."

"Why is this?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes." The fox's tail suddenly stood up, and the pressure descended in an instant.

Lin Baiben was kneeling on the ground, caught off guard for a moment, and had to hold on with his hands.

The pressure was getting bigger and bigger. My whole body seemed to be bearing a tremendous force, but the stone slab beneath me was normal.

I don't know how long it took, but blood oozed out of my skin. It felt like there were fire and ice spikes in my muscles, and my tendons and bones seemed to be broken inch by inch.

After enduring for a while, the pressure suddenly disappeared.

Lin Bai lay on the ground gasping for breath, glanced at the fox, cursed in his heart, and silently kept this grudge in mind. He would wait until the day when he had a baby with her to seek justice: he would definitely pin her to the ground!

"You have made some progress, which is not easy." The fox said happily. Seeing Lin Bai's pain, but his injury recovered immediately, she asked, "How did you achieve it?"

Lin Bai said nothing.

"It looks like I'm holding a grudge." The green fox chuckled, wagged its tail, and said, "Forget it, forget it. Even a dog would secretly hide bones, let alone a human."

Is this a curse? Lin Bai didn't dare to ask, he just knelt down obediently.

"You are quite clever. Although your aptitude is a little lacking, your cultivation has not fallen behind. I believe there is another opportunity. You are quite suitable for my disciple."

Green Fox said lazily, "Knock your head eighteen times, and I will take charge of this matter."

Is the fox sick? Is he pulling strings? Lin Bai knelt straight and said, "Grandmaster, Huang Ruhua and I have known each other since childhood and have experienced many things together. We are good friends and I have no improper thoughts."

At this point, Lin Bai became more serious and said, "Besides, I already have a Taoist partner. I dare not ask for the ancestor's beloved disciple."

Upon hearing this, the fox sneered, "You have a Taoist partner?" She wagged her tail and continued, "There are at least six women in your cave alone, and the lustful aura involves at least two of them."

Since you smelled it, why are you still trying to pull strings and play with me again? Lin Bai was slapped in the face by the fox, and he didn't dare to argue. He just cursed the fox's sharp nose in his heart.

"Forget it." Qinghu stood up and said lazily, "You and my disciple are good friends, so as an elder, I should give you something." She looked at Lin Bai, "Little pervert, what do you want?"

She finally got a nickname.

"This..." Lin Bai wanted too many things.

"However," the green fox took two steps and said, "If someone holds a grudge against me in their heart, then there is no need to send the gift."

"The fairy's kindness is known throughout the country, and her grace is unparalleled. Anyone who bears a grudge against the fairy is worse than pigs and dogs! He should be attacked by the whole world!" Lin Bai said.

Qinghu nodded slightly and said, "No wonder you were able to cultivate the Hunyuan Tempering Body Art." She lay down again and said, "Since you are in a brothel, I will select a few young women for you. Yang Huan is cute and innocent, Yang Bing is free and easy, Gu Feixue is cold, Gu Yao is innocent, Cheng Shuang is naughty, and Cheng Yiyu is virtuous."

After the fox finished talking about the three Yuanying descendants of Qiaoshan Sect, he continued, "The last five were all virgins, each with their own merits. But I don't know which pig or dog took the first one away."

"Ancestor, actually I..." Lin Bai had a headache.

"If you are not satisfied, I will let Gu Qingshui come. She is cold on the outside but sexy on the inside, and she loves to support the younger generation." Qinghu said.

"Is this...really possible?" Lin Bai was shocked.

"What do you think?" Green Fox glared at Lin Bai.

So you're still making fun of me?
"Ahem..." Lin Bai hurriedly bowed again and said seriously: "Can I ask the ancestor for a technique?"

The fox covered his head with his tail and said, "Your original destiny is the vast mist. I have the secret of attracting the mist, which matches the original destiny of the mist. I will give it to you."

So you can't see through the fog either?
"You are not seeking for me." Lin Bai didn't want that. In his natal chart, fog was secondary and the stone plate was primary.

After bowing once more, Lin Bai continued, "The ancestor came here for your disciple, and I am also here to seek for you, my humble disciple."

The fox lifted his tail to signal to continue.

Lin Bai honestly told Miaomiao's life story again.

"Hearing is believing." The fox wagged its tail, "Old Ancestor, I just happen to be free, go and bring your disciple over."

After saying that, the fox closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.

"Thank you, Ancestor." Lin Bai knelt down, bowed, and walked out.

After leaving Xinyifang, he quickly flew towards Fengming Mountain.

When the Zhu family held a funeral last time, Lin Bai left his good disciple in Fengming Mountain.

When we arrived at the place, we pulled someone over to ask and found out that Miaomiao was with Zhu Yushu and his wife.

"Master, do you miss Miaomiao?" Miaomiao was very happy to see Lin Bai coming, and she didn't look like she had just attended a funeral.

"Brother Yun," Tian Wanjun stood up and saluted, "Do you have time? I want to talk to you about alchemy..."

"Let's talk about it another day. I have something important to do." Lin Bai carried Miaomiao and went west in a flash.

Tian Wanjun looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Yushu patted her hand gently and said soothingly, "Brother Yun is not an outsider."

"I know." Tian Wanjun smiled gently, "You have said it many times, and I have kept it in mind. Don't worry, he came and went in a hurry, and he didn't treat me as an outsider. I am not a petty person."

At this point, Tian Wanjun sighed and said, "There are too few spiritual plants at home, and there is no real expert in alchemy and refining. Brother Yun knows how to make alchemy and talismans, and he teaches the family, but he can't stay in Fengming Mountain for long. All in all, this family is really hard to be in charge of." She complained, but her tone was gentle. She stood up and continued, "When I go back to my parents' home, I will ask the sisters and brothers to come over from time to time, so that I can bring out a group of capable people."

"Wanjun." Zhu Yushu was very moved.

While the couple was chatting, Lin Bai had already returned to Xinyifang with his apprentice.

"Master, are you going to sell me?" Miaomiao was held under Lin Bai's arm, and she kept talking.

"How many pounds of meat do you have? How much would you be worth if I sold you?" Flying was not allowed in Xinyifang, so Lin Bai could only walk.

The master and disciple chatted for a long time and then came out of the cave.

"Kneel down and kowtow." Lin Bai said.

Miaomiao always listened to her master and immediately knelt down towards the cave door.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Ancestor!"

The head of her family had just died, so she brought the mourning set with her.

After Miaomiao finished bowing, she didn't get up. She just patted the dust off her hands and looked at Lin Bai with a smile on her face, as if she was asking for credit.

Lin Bai covered his forehead, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Lin Bai received a message from the fairy and kicked Miaomiao's feet. "Go find Jiang Yu."

"Okay." Miaomiao didn't stand up and kowtowed to Lin Bai three more times.

"No need to kneel down with me." Lin Bai didn't like these false formalities.

"I'm just sitting around doing nothing." Miaomiao stood up and touched her forehead, looking lazy. Seeing that her master was unhappy, she lowered her head and went to Yuhu Lake.

Having such an apprentice is really a headache.

After opening the cave door, the fox was still lying there.

"Ancestor." Lin Bai closed the cave door and knelt down.

"The pass is narrow and dangerous. If we retreat, we can block the flow. If we advance, we can see the world." Qinghu said lazily, even a little lazy. "The destiny is mysterious. There are thousands of faces for thousands of people. Your apprentice's destiny is not bad. I wonder what kind of magical powers he will have in the future."

"After Miaomiao has established her foundation, I will ask her to come and kowtow to the ancestor again." Lin Bai pressed forward, "If the ancestor likes her, why not accept her as a disciple? She is the best at serving others."

"Too lazy and can't afford to support him." said the green fox.

Lin Bai didn't know whether to be happy or sad for his disciple, as he could make a Yuanying stage say such words.

"This is for you. It's a token of our friendship." The green fox used its front paw to pick its ears, then threw out a book, "The secret of all mysteries. Mysterious beyond all mysteries, the door to all mysteries. This was given to you by the wood demon, so it's a token of our connection."

Lin Bai quickly crawled forward on his knees and took the mysterious solution with both hands.

"I came to see you on behalf of my disciple, and you sought the truth for my disciple. Neither of us owes each other anything, and we will go our separate ways from now on." The green fox disappeared after delivering the things.

The fox stood up and took steps in the air, as if he was about to leave immediately.

"Senior!" Lin Bai hurriedly asked, "Xiu Xiu and I are also friends."

Lin Bai had only talked to the fox before, and didn't have time to ask about Xiuxiu in detail.

"Oh," Fairy Chen Yu sneered, "The little turtle of Yunxia Sect and Xiuxiu are master and disciple. When have I ever given her the slightest respect?"

After saying that, the fox glared at him, "Little pervert, do you have any ideas?"

"No, no!" Lin Bai hurriedly asked, "Grandmaster, when will Xiuxiu come out of the mountain?"

Lin Bai wants to ask Fairy Chen Yu to be the middleman, but he needs to talk to Xiu Xiu first.

"It's almost there, almost there!" The fox's voice was faint, and with a wave of its tail, the fox's green shadow suddenly became ethereal and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Escape method? Why do you seem to be afraid of me? Can I still eat you? Or are you afraid of me, Gou Xiuxiu? Are you on guard against me?
Lin Bai lost his temper and shouted respectfully for half an hour, saying many nice things until his throat was hoarse, but the fox did not appear again.

"You are afraid of me, Gou Xiuxiu, but actually I am a kind-hearted person." Lin Bai lamented.

There was no way. The fox fairy was afraid that the magic herbs at home would be picked, so she hid on purpose. Lin Bai had no choice but to accept it.

After sitting in meditation for several days, Lin Bai went to Fengming Mountain again. When he went to get Miaomiao before, Tian Wanjun seemed to be busy.

When they arrived at the place, they talked with Zhu Yushu and his wife and found out that Tian Wanjun had brought several pill recipes from her mother's home and wanted Lin Bai to learn them before teaching them to Zhu's disciples.

After staying for more than a month, Lin Bai returned to his cave to practice.

A year and a half passed quickly, and the Five Transformations of Hunyuan were completed.

His realm had already broken through the third level of foundation building. But he was troubled by many things, such as tempering his body, practicing flying knives, refining pills, making talismans and beating his disciples, so he was a little slow.

That morning, the Jade Lake was shrouded in mist.

Many Jiang family members gathered here.

Jiang Yu's robe fit her perfectly and she stood straight. Although she was still a few years away from being eighteen, she was growing taller and taller, already surpassing her sister.

She has a thin waist but no big body. Her face has not grown yet, but you can tell that she will be a beautiful girl in the future. However, she is not as well-behaved as Jiang Xiaobai, but has a heroic look.

Miaomiao walked out of the bamboo house and bowed to everyone.

Today is the day she enters the Tao.

After a while, Lin Bai and Pei Ning arrived, and Jiang Yatou came out of the black tower.

Everyone then bowed to the three foundation builders.

Lin Bai sat down on the stone platform with a serious expression, looking like a virtuous elder.

"Master, why didn't my father come?" Miaomiao knelt down and asked.

Miaomiao came from Fengming Mountain and was supposed to go to Fengming Mountain to become a Taoist, but Zhu Yumao said that Yuhu was Miaomiao's blessed land and she didn't need to be obsessed with such things.

Entering the path of Buddhism is a major event for a cultivator, and usually close relatives and elders will also be present.

Lin Bai and Zhu Yumao had already made an appointment, but Zhu Yumao was out last time, so he might not be able to make it.

"He went out for something." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Miaomiao was stunned for a while, then kowtowed again, then knelt before Pei Ning, and then knelt before Jiang Xiaobai.

He stood up and bowed to the Jiang family members who were watching the ceremony, then sat down cross-legged.

"The universe is vast and the way is mysterious. We should look up at the sky and look down at the earth; learn from our bodies and from things far away."

Lin Bai spoke slowly, "Walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise. If you want to see its wonders, you should start today."

Everyone stood up and slowly backed away, leaving only Lin Bai and Miaomiao, the master and disciple.

The master and the disciple sat opposite each other, both with their eyes closed and without saying a word.

After half an hour, Miaomiao succeeded in drawing the Qi into her body.

The explanation of all the mysteries of the universe was worked out by the master and disciple kneeling together, so it was natural that he and Miaomiao were in perfect harmony.

By noon, Lin Bai suddenly felt a little sad, as if he had lost something in his life.

Miaomiao's tears formed into a line, and soon turned blood red, "Master, my father is dead."

She tried to wipe away her tears, but they wouldn't stop.
