The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 174 Life-saving Hair
"Didn't I send you a message asking you to concentrate on your cultivation and not get involved in this matter?"

After Gu Feixue learned that Lin Bai recommended himself, she actually took the initiative to find him.

"How could I not know about Senior Sister's care and love?" Lin Bai looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and said with emotion: "It's just a matter of righteousness, how can I retreat? Besides, if I don't respond, then Senior Gu will be embarrassed. I have received the favor of the Gu family, so I should stand up!"

"You always think about others and never think about yourself."

Gu Feixue sighed and advised: "You are an alchemist and are not good at fighting. Why don't you stay behind and make more pills?"

"If everyone thinks this way, then everything is over." Lin Bai waved his hand and acted cool, saying, "Senior sister, there is no need to mention it again. I have made up my mind." At this point, he asked with concern, "Senior sister, are you feeling better?"

"How can it be healed so easily when the root is injured?" Gu Feixue said helplessly, "You care about me so much, but you don't consider yourself."

"..." Lin Bai couldn't pretend any longer, so he said quickly, "Yang Chen just invited me to drink and cheer me up, so I'm leaving now."

Lin Bai had nothing to talk about with her, and she wouldn't let him sleep. But Sister Huanhuan was the most heartwarming, bending down and opening her mouth.

"I'll go with you too!" Gu Feixue actually caught up with him.

“……”Lin Bai had no choice but to let her do it.

The two of them found Sister Huanhuan's residence together, and the Yang family members were already waiting there.

Needless to say there is Sister Huanhuan, Yang Shu, Yang Chen, Yang Bing, and a few other young people who practice Qigong.

Everyone sat cross-legged under the jujube tree, Yang Huan picked some jujubes and distributed them to everyone, and then brought some osmanthus wine and poured it for everyone himself.

"Feixue..." Yang Shu moved closer to Gu Feixue, "I haven't seen you go out for a long time."

Gu Feixue closed her eyes.

"Are you tired?" Yang Shu asked with concern.

"Brother Yun, what is the current situation?" Yang Chen poured wine for Lin Bai and asked about the war again.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over.

Lin Bai did not hide anything and told everything he knew.

Lu Shiping was serving as a priest in Cang Yun Sect. Yue Fengshu went there in person to ask for her, but Cang Yun Sect refused to give her to him.

Gu Qingshui wanted to go out personally to speak up for the Tian family, but Patriarch Yang came to persuade him, and in the end it was decided that the Tian family would fight.

At the same time, the various sects in Qiaoshan each provided elixirs, talismans, and magical instruments. The Huaqing sect even sent out a golden elixir, and some foundation-building sects and families also provided help.

Yue Fengshu promised to invite a Jindan cultivator to help.

At the same time, we need to invite more independent cultivators to join the war. The salary will certainly not be small, and there will also be thank-you gifts afterwards.

In short, since the Nascent Soul didn't come out, the two Golden Core sects went to war.

Now that the decision has been made, each family will go back and prepare and set off in ten days.

"I should have expected this!" Yang Chen was young and best suited to talking about foreign affairs. "The battle between Yuanying is no small matter, and it won't start easily. The followers must be the vanguard to test each other's determination first."

"So Feixue...the Gu family won't go out to fight?" Yang Shu asked Lin Bai.

"That's right." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Are you going too?" Yang Huan asked.

Lin Bai nodded.

"Drink!" Yang Huan raised the wine bowl.

They talked for a long time, drank until midnight, and fell drunk one after another.

They called in a few Qigong disciples to send the person away, and the Gu family also sent Zhu Yuhuan to pick up Gu Feixue.

"I haven't drunk enough..." Gu Feixue started to act crazy while drunk.

Lin Bai forced her to drink a few more bowls, which made Gu Feixue dizzy.

He casually asked a few questions about Zhu Yuhuan's recent situation, and then asked her to take Gu Feixue away.

For a moment, only Lin Bai and Yang Huan were left.

The two men entered the room without much talk. They took off their Taoist robes and, under the influence of alcohol, they indulged themselves.

Perhaps knowing that Lin Bai was about to enter a dangerous situation, Sister Huanhuan was exceptionally gentle and considerate.

"Sister Huanhuan, you are so nice." Lin Bai always serves others, but only Sister Huanhuan is willing to serve Lin Bai.

It all depends on the mood of that little girl Jiang Xiaobai, let alone Sister Pei. It would be a blessing if she could be a little more proactive.

The two of them made a fuss for a long time and started talking dirty.

It was not until dawn that Lin Bai reluctantly left.

After leaving the Qiaoshan Sect’s territory, Lin Bai returned to Xinyifang.

I found Tianchi Pavilion and asked Yao Qianyuan to deliver the message.

"It seems like the war is really about to start." Yao Qianyuan's avenue is not developing, and he has been living in Tianchi Pavilion, doing real work. "The prices of elixirs and talismans in the market have been rising recently, and many independent cultivators have poured in."

"As long as business is good, that's enough." Lin Bai smiled.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Bai returned to his cave.

As soon as I sat down, someone came to visit.

When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Xiaobai leading a female cultivator, who was his old friend Huang Ruhua.

After not seeing for a long time, Huang Ruhua has actually established a foundation. Her face no longer shows the sadness of the past, but instead a relaxed look.

"Brother Yun, how are you?" Huang Ruhua saluted with a smile.

"I hope you are well." Lin Bai smiled and invited her into the cave.

"You guys chat, I'm going back to practice." Jiang Xiaobai left quickly.

"Why are you pretending to be innocent? She keeps saying that she has cut off all contact with you a long time ago, but I don't believe it. Is she also so good at pretending in bed?" Huang Ruhua seemed to have learned some skills from a fox.

“……”Lin Bai had a headache.

"This place is not bad." Huang Ruhua entered the cave, looked around, and said, "When we first entered the Jiang family, you and I both lived in the worst cave. Now you have reached the third level of foundation building and have made great progress in alchemy, and you are becoming more and more extraordinary."

"You have already established your foundation and become a disciple of Fairy Chen Yu. Your future is limitless." Lin Bai praised her.

Huang Ruhua sat cross-legged and said with a smile: "I just went to see Daoist Xiao Jiang. Her two burdens have become even bigger, and she also has a coquettish aura. You two are really bold."

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and before he could open his mouth to argue, Huang Ruhua spoke again out of curiosity.

"Also," Huang Ruhua's eyes widened, and she tilted her head to look at Lin Bai, "In the cave in the valley, I saw dirt on the stone bed, and there was a smell of alcohol. I asked Xiao Jiang just now, but she has never been to Mianlong Mountain again, so it must not be her. Did you take someone to sleep there again?"

"That..." Lin Bai was in the wrong.

"Is it a human or an animal?" Huang Ruhua asked.

Am I so hungry in your eyes?

"It must be someone..." Lin Bai didn't want to talk about this any more, so he asked, "Did you come out of the mountain to seek a foundation-building opportunity? Have you encountered any danger?"

"Why didn't you clean it up for me? I won't live here anymore!" Huang Ruhua grumbled for a few words before answering, "I came here to seek an opportunity to build my foundation. I lived in the town of Shang's ordinary descendants for more than two months, working in the fields every day, planting vegetables and harvesting crops, and I succeeded. Later, when I was building my foundation, the monks from Shang's family came to see me, but they didn't make things difficult for me."

"..." Lin Bai didn't say anything. Thinking about Qu Ruyi's foundation-building journey in the past, and then looking at his own and Jiang Xiaobai's, there was a world of difference.

People cannot be compared.

Huang Ruhua tilted her head and stared at Lin Bai, and asked, "The last time Master went out, I asked her to bring you a letter on the way. Did she bully you?"

He's almost peeing on my head! Lin Bai smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Master loves to tease people, don't mind it." Huang Ruhua also laughed, and then said: "Master also asked me to stay away from you. Have you offended my master?"

How could this fox look down on people? As if I were really a lecherous thief! Lin Bai didn't have a temper. After all, he had benefited from the fox, so he couldn't scold her. "Fairy Chen Yu is a Yuanying, how dare I offend her? How could I offend her?"

Lin Bai smiled calmly and said, "Perhaps Fairy Chen Yu hopes that you will be strong and independent, and doesn't want me to bother you with mundane matters."

"That's right." Huang Ruhua nodded slightly and really believed it.

She was somewhat naive and silly to begin with, and having lived in the mountains for a long time, under the protection of the Fairy Chen Yu, she became even more cunning.

"How does Fairy Chenyu treat you?" Lin Bai asked.

"Master sleeps all day long." Huang Ruhua took a sip of tea and continued, "She kept nagging me after she woke up. Xiuxiu and I went to find some wild fruits and make some food, and she wanted to grab some as well."

Fairy Chen Yu has no ethics as a teacher!

"What about Xiuxiu? How is she now?" Lin Bai asked with concern.

"Xiuxiu is doing fine." Huang Ruhua mentioned Xiuxiu with a smile on her face, "She is more sensible than me and has better aptitude. Master found a secret method for her and she is practicing it now."

"What secret method?" Lin Bai was curious.

"It should be the theory of yin and yang in numerology. I don't understand it either." Huang Ruhua replied.

"When will Xiuxiu come out?" Lin Bai asked again.

"It's almost time." Huang Ruhua shook her head. "Master likes to sleep a lot, and he doesn't let Xiuxiu and I run around." She stared at Lin Bai again and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you are having an affair with Xiuxiu's senior sister? How many people have you flirted with?"

"No such thing."

When Lin Bai learned that Xiuxiu was safe and sound, he stopped asking questions and did not reveal his relationship with Xiuxiu.

He didn't dare let Huang Ruhua take the letter to Xiuxiu, for fear that the vixen with low moral character would intercept it.

The two chatted for a while, and Huang Ruhua asked, "Xinyifang is not peaceful. What happened? I wanted to buy some elixirs, but the prices went up ridiculously. I asked Daoist Xiao Jiang, but she told me to ask you, saying that you know best."

Since he was not an outsider, Lin Bai did not hide anything and told Xiao Huang everything.

Huang Ruhua heard this and said with emotion: "No wonder Master said that the outside world is not peaceful, it turns out that there is really something big going on."

"What else did Fairy Chenyu say?" Lin Bai felt that the fox might know some inside information.

"Master said it was like pigs and dogs fighting each other." Huang Ruhua said.

As expected of a fox, his words are so sweet!

"Then you should leave early." Lin Bai sighed and said, "I have to follow the army too. When things here are over, I will go to the mountains to play with you guys."

"You...you want to go too?" Huang Ruhua was shocked. "Even if you don't win the Yuanying battle, there are still many golden elixirs! Do you really want to go?"

"I was chosen." Lin Bai smiled bitterly.

"You are a very cunning person, so it shouldn't be a big deal." Huang Ruhua thought for a while, took out a small wooden box, and said with a pained expression on her face, "We are all good friends. I don't have much to give you, but this may save your life."

"What is this?" Lin Bai took the small wooden box, opened it and saw a small wooden stick wrapped with green fox fur.

"My master gave me these fox furs to save my life. There are only three of them in total. Don't waste them." Huang Ruhua stared at the fox fur, still reluctant to part with it.

Life-saving hair? After hearing this, Lin Bai immediately put the things away, and then asked: "Nascent Soul attack?"

"What are you thinking?" Huang Ruhua pouted, and said with a pained look, "How can a Foundation Establishment cultivator draw on the power of the Nascent Soul? It's just for escaping. It has the ability to move, and it can be a hundred miles away in the blink of an eye." She smacked her lips and said with a pained look, "I didn't use any of them, please don't waste them."

"Don't worry, I will never waste it!" Lin Bai remembered that when they were chased by jackdaws in Mianlong Mountain, Gu Feixue and Gu Feng escaped using a similar method.

It seems that foxes should be quite good at this, or even proficient in such magic.

Lin Bai made up his mind that if he saw a fox again in the future, he would try to please it and pull out some of its fur.

The two chatted for a long time, and Pei Ning and Gai Yingqiu came over.

"I am Yun Zhonghe's old friend, Huang Ruhua." Xiao Huang did not say her relationship with the fox.

The four of them chatted for a while and then headed to Yuhu Lake together. Jiang Xiaobai also called in the young men from her family and held a Taoist meeting.

After two days of commotion, Huang Ruhua said goodbye.

Lin Bai and Jiang Yatou presented many medicinal pills and talismans, which were in short supply in the mountains.

"You are Brother Yun's disciple, this is for you." Huang Ruhua took out a green jade stone and gave it to Miaomiao, and said, "It was taken from Jinghu Lake and nurtured by my teacher. It has the effect of cooling and calming the mind, and is beneficial to spiritual practice." She patted Miaomiao's head and said with emotion, "You are obedient and sensible, and you know etiquette and are upright. You don't look like a disciple taught by Yun Zhonghe."

Huang Ruhua took out another piece of jade and gave it to Jiang Yu, saying, "You are much more decent than your sister. You don't act like a young lady, but more like a gentleman."

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Huang Ruhua has learned the true skills of a fox and should not be underestimated.

After seeing Huang Ruhua off, Lin Bai and Pei Ning returned to the cave.

The two of them knew each other too well, so they didn't bother to say any polite words and just stayed close to each other.

"When you went to Mianlong Mountain for the first time, you slept with Xiao Jiang; when you went there for the second time, you had an affair with Yang Huan."

Pei Ning put on his clothes and said, "The Tian family is good at raising spiritual plants and flowers. Most of the young ladies in the Tian family are gentle and kind, so they have a unique flavor. You can pick some."

"This journey is full of difficulties, so don't talk nonsense." Lin Bai stared with an upright look.

Sister Pei sneered a few times and left.

After a long break, Jiang Xiaobai came again.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they chatted for a while before sending Jiang Xiaobai away.

Lin Bai gave his disciple some good instructions and asked Miaomiao to concentrate on his practice.

After everything was done, Lin Bai returned to his cave to meditate.

He took out eighteen flying knives and examined them carefully. Nine of them were made of fire lin ore, and nine were made of lapis lazuli.

The former is scarlet, with a hint of fire, inheriting the meaning of the Earth Fire Sword; the latter is bluish-cold, slightly heavier, with fewer impurities, imitating Chen Zhiyuan's pure meaning.

Then take out seven small flags, which are the Flying Cloud Flags, to form a flag formation.

Finally, he took out a small wooden box, which was given by Xiao Huang and made from fox tail hair.

He also has the innate magical power of the dead tree cicada and the five transformations of Hunyuan, which are very effective in seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

In this way, you can kill the enemy when you advance, escape when you retreat, and you can also withstand attacks.

You need to prepare more elixirs and talismans. Although they will be distributed when the time comes, it is always a good idea to prepare more.

After working hard for several days to make pills and talismans, Lin Bai took out a book to read.

There has been no progress in the escape method. Limited by my fate and my understanding...

"Sister Zhen knows how to do it, and so does the fox. I'll ask for your advice when I have time. It's a pity that the fox doesn't like men, otherwise I can use my power of the wheel..."

After daydreaming for a while, Lin Bai returned to his meditation.

Six days passed like this, and when it was time to set off, Zhu Jianyang came to the door.

The two chatted as they headed towards Tian's house.

"You have been at the Tian family these days. What do you think of them?" Lin Bai asked as he walked.

"We have been at ease for too long and have not learned how to fight. Now we are sharpening our weapons and practicing the combined attack formation before the battle. Unfortunately, everyone is new to it and it is difficult to master it quickly." Zhu Jianyang gave his evaluation and said, "I think it will be difficult to win."

"Victory or defeat does not depend on the Tian family, but on Aunt Gu... ahem, on the determination of Old Ancestor Gu." Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang are too familiar with each other to mention it.

"Then you can only win, not lose!" Zhu Jianyang smiled.

"Just don't collapse at the first sign of trouble." Lin Bai became worried again.

After chatting about trivial matters, the two discussed how to avoid military service and live a leisurely life, and the Tian family slowly returned to farming in the mountains.
