The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 211: Water
The fluorescent light in the cave is dim.

There are three sects of golden elixirs guarding the stone tablet.

Not far away, there were foundation-building sites of various sects that had just emerged from secret realms.

Everyone was still in shock after the fox made a fuss just now, and now they saw someone talking loudly and passionately, so they all looked over.

Qu Chengjia was quite famous among the three sects. Firstly, she was a direct disciple of Yun Wujiu; secondly, she was one of the rare cultivators who studied numerology; thirdly, the fox gave her the nickname "Turtle", which made her even more famous.

Lin Bai is not very famous, but most of the foundation-building masters who have traveled to the secret realm know him.

Qu Ruyi was in a daze. On one side was her good friend, and on the other side was her own elder. She really didn't know what to do.

"Come!" Meng Yuan grabbed Qu Ruyi and walked towards Po Yunzi.

Gu Jiuzhong was also quite surprised. He looked at Lin Bai, then at Qu Chengjia, and then stood with his hands behind his back.

However, a female Jindan cultivator from Jiuyin Mountain smiled continuously.

Yue Fengshu stood in the distance, with He Wenyao standing beside him. The master and disciple talked in low voices, looking at Lin Bai and Pei Ning from time to time.

"I knew you were still alive!" Qu Chengjia stood in the air, his clothes and hair fluttering, as if he was suppressing his anger.

Lin Bai looked up at Qu Chengjia and recalled the wind and snow that day.

The awe-inspiring power of the golden elixir is so overwhelming that a mortal body can only crawl on the ground.

Now, the world has changed, the sky is high and the sea is vast. Although there is still a gap, I can hold my head up high and don't have to beg for survival in a humble way.

"Thank you for your concern, Immortal Master Qu." Lin Bai replied with a smile, raised his hand slightly to salute, and said, "I also miss you all the time. I just hope you are healthy and free from disasters so that I can come to thank you."

What I mean is that you shouldn't die too early. I will sharpen my sword and kill you myself.

Except for a few fools, most people on the field understood the meaning of this declaration of war.

"He forced the girl from the Qu family to eat the Tiger and Wolf Pill?" Yang Shaoan pulled Yang Shu and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either." Yang Shu spread his hands, but still whispered: "When he was in the Jiang family, he did make his fortune by refining Tiger Wolf Pills. It seems that the Jiang family girl bought the goods from him. But although he has a close relationship with Qu Ruyi, they are like brothers. It is with Senior Qu's beloved disciple..." At this point, Yang Shu pulled Yang Shaoan and whispered: "Uncle, Lin Zhuanlun helped us in Mianlong Mountain before, and he has repeatedly helped us in this secret realm. He is grateful to us. Should we help him?"

"That's right, Sister Huanhuan gets along very well with him." Yang Chen said on the side.

"Gu Jiuzhong hasn't said anything yet, is it our turn to speak?" When Yang Shaoan saw Yang Chen mention Yang Huan, he immediately frowned and scolded, "The Gu family just suffered the humiliation of Jiuyin Mountain, and it's time to go crazy. Now, let alone that Lin Zhuanlun fed the Qu family's daughter Tiger Wolf Pill, even if he slept with her three or five times, the Gu family has to bite the bullet and protect her!"

The three uncles and nephews were having a great discussion, but Po Yunzi over there didn't understand the situation either.

"I remember that boy wasn't Ruyi's lover? I saw him in front of Mianlong Mountain." Po Yunzi asked, stroking his beard.

Everyone looked at Qu Ruyi. Qu Ruyi shook her head and whispered, "I have never admitted it. You guys just spread it around." She felt quite aggrieved. She would steal a glance at Qu Chengjia in the sky from time to time. She was very timid and just grabbed the corner of Po Yunzi's clothes. "Uncle Master, you have to take care of... take care of your sister."

"Master!" Meng Yuan pushed Qu Ruyi away, came to Po Yunzi, leaned forward and spoke in a low voice.

After listening to this, Po Yunzi patted Meng Yuan's hand lightly, indicating that he should not worry. He glanced at Song Jingxian again and then looked up.

Qu Chengjia was clearly furious when he heard Lin Bai's rude words. He took out his whisk and asked, "Does the death of my disciple Song Qing have anything to do with you?"

"Master Qu asked even though you knew the answer." Lin Bai replied frankly, "I have to thank Brother Song for saving my life. Thinking back to the past, Brother Song realized the truth before his death, and I admire him very much! Master Qu taught people in a good way, and I admire him even more!"

"Qu Chengjia! I was the one who cut off Song Qing's arm!" Pei Ning also shouted loudly, pressing his sword and saying, "At that time, he prostrated himself on the ground in front of the two of us, begging for his life. Just like the two of us prostrated ourselves on the snow that day!"

When Song Jingxian heard these words, she looked at Lin Bai and Pei Ning in disbelief, muttering to herself, trying to speak but unable to, and could only look at Meng Yuan in confusion.

Meng Yuan had no time to respond, she just looked at Pei Ning with interest. "Your friends are all more vicious than each other, why are you such a fool?" She grabbed Qu Ruyi's sleeve and asked.

"..." Qu Ruyi didn't dare to lose her temper.

"Looking for death!" Qu Chengjia was furious when he saw Lin Bai's sarcastic tone and Pei Ning's blunt insults.

She had a bad temper to begin with, and she had no place to vent her anger when she was nicknamed the fox a few years ago. Now that her apprentice was snatched away and her own descendants were turning their backs on her, she was really furious.

He waved his whisk, his black Taoist robe fluttered, and stretched out his hand to slap downwards.

I saw water all around, and there seemed to be the shape of Bagua in my palm, as if it was going to cover the sky and the earth, leaving no place for people to hide.

"As a dignified Jindan, you have the nerve to fight against two juniors? You will not be able to disgrace the reputation of Senior Yun!" Gu Jiuzhong immediately stepped forward and pointed out, and then he saw the phantom of a blue bird running towards the Bagua palm print.

At this moment, a roar was heard. The pressure of the golden elixir descended, the sword light rushed, and everyone in the cave felt the sword cutting their faces.

In just a moment, the blue bird shadow and the Bagua palm print disappeared, leaving only a little dust.

A flying sword slowly fell back to Po Yunzi. Meng Yuan leaned over and raised his hand, respectfully catching it.

Gu Jiuzhong put his fingers together without saying anything, with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent; Qu Chengjia had a solemn expression, as if he had something to say.

"My master's reputation is so great that no one can enhance it even a little bit, and no one can diminish it even a little bit." Although Po Yunzi was dressed in shabby clothes, no one dared to look down on him.

"Junior brother has made great progress." Yue Fengshu said from a distance.

Po Yunzi nodded to Yue Fengshu from a distance, then looked at Gu Jiuzhong and said, "Please give my teacher's regards to Senior Gu."

After saying this, he looked at Qu Chengjia again.

"Junior sister, it's getting late, you should go back to the mountain first." Po Yunzi said.

Qu Chengjia was silent for a few breaths, then glanced at Lin Pei and the others and said, "Brother, this boy is very patient, has a secret, is eloquent, and is two-faced. We must not let him stay."

"Master Qu, thank you for your praise." Lin Bai bowed and smiled.

Qu Ruyi and Meng Yuan glared at him fiercely, as if to say: Say less!

"The Yunxia Sect must avenge us, so let's go back to the mountain first." Po Yunzi also looked helpless and sighed, "There are so many things going on here, let's sort them out later."

Qu Chengjia tightly grasped the whisk, looked at Lin Bai again, and then turned into a mysterious light and disappeared.

Po Yunzi didn't say much. He just nodded slightly to Yue Fengshu and Jiuyin Mountain Jindan, then he slowly walked out of the cave with a group of people from the Yunxia Sect.

Song Jingxian walked forward in a daze and looked back at Lin Bai.

Qu Ruyi was also very confused and just followed the others.

When we came out of the underground cave and saw the sunlight, we saw Meng Yuan and others were already arranging the flying boat and were just waiting to go home.

"Why are you following me?" Meng Yuan saw Qu Ruyi was about to board the flying boat and stopped her.

"I..." Qu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and said: "I am from Yunxia Sect, I will go home with you!"

"No wonder people look down on you." Meng Yuan said.

"Why don't you like me?" Qu Ruyi said anxiously, "I don't like him!"

"I'm saying you're stupid." As the eldest senior sister, Meng Yuan really didn't give her junior sister any face. "You clearly met Lin Zhuanlun a long time ago but didn't tell Uncle Master. Now you're in trouble everywhere." She pinched Qu Ruyi's face hard and said, "Uncle Master is so angry that he has nowhere to vent. If you go back to the mountain, I bet that ten years of confinement is not too little."

"Ah?" Qu Ruyi finally came to her senses and nodded in agreement, "That's the truth."

"Go out and play for two years, and come back when your uncle's anger has subsided." Meng Yuan was worthy of being the eldest senior sister, and immediately gave instructions, "Go find Xiuxiu, or go to Xinyifang, and let Lin Zhuanlun take care of your food and drink."

"This... He has turned against my ancestor." Qu Ruyi was very depressed.

"I'm not against you." Meng Yuan smiled, "Didn't you say that you saved his life three times when you were building your foundation? In this secret realm, he saved me, Meng Bo, and Jing Xian. Who do you think he did it for? It's obviously for you. Others didn't distance themselves from you, but you did? Besides, you treat Xiuxiu as your own sister, and he should thank you!"

"If Uncle Qu knew that Ruyi was making a living with his enemies, wouldn't he be so angry that he would die?" Meng Bo suddenly interrupted.

"Get lost." Meng Yuan glared at Meng Bo.

"You won't let me talk anymore..." Meng Bo said embarrassedly and walked aside.

"Indeed, I am looking for opportunities outside. Once I make further progress, no one can say anything about me." Qu Ruyi was convinced. She nodded and said, "But I have friends all over the world. There is no need for Lin Zhuanlun to control me! I have my own place to go!" She did not forget to brag even at this time.

"That's exactly the reason." Seeing that Qu Ruyi had been let in, Meng Yuan repeatedly reminded her, "Anyway, remember, don't run around. Stay away from secret places, adventures, and the like. If anything happens, the Crystal Palace has a cargo ship that can send a message from time to time. If you are short of anything, tell me."

"I'm not stupid." Qu Ruyi said.

"Haha." Meng Yuan smiled and said nothing more.

Qu Ruyi tilted her head and thought for a while, then walked towards the Qiaoshan faction camp. Meng Yuan returned to the cabin, and seeing Song Jingxian was in a state of despair, he ignored her.

Meng Yuan could understand Song Jingxian. He had called him Mr. Zhuanlun affectionately before, but now he realized that Mr. Zhuanlun was actually an accomplice in the murder of his brother.

Song Jingxian held Meng Yuan's hand and asked, "Senior sister, do you think Mr. Zhuanlun and Senior Sister Pei are the murderers of my brother?"

"If you think it is, it is. If you think it is not, it is not." Meng Yuan was very open-minded. "It has nothing to do with him. It only depends on what you think."

The two sisters chatted endlessly, and Lin Bai and Pei Ning also got on the flying boat of Qiaoshan Sect.

After entering the cabin, Gu Jiuzhong sat down first and carefully inquired about the grudge between Lin Pei and Qu Chengjia.

Lin Bai gave a brief account, only saying that he and Xiuxiu were siblings.

After listening to this, Gu Jiuzhong sighed and said, "I thought you slept with her daughter."

There was a hint of loss in his tone.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other and felt that the Gu family was more unreliable.

"You and the little girl are siblings, and the little girl is the fairy's life-contracted person. So after all, Fairy Chenyu is still a member of my Gu family!" Gu Jiuzhong said again.

Lin Bai didn't understand how Gu Jiuzhong figured out this relationship, he just listened.

Gu Jiuzhong asked about what happened in the secret realm again. Lin Bai severely accused Qin Rensong and briefly talked about Lu Qingyin's matter.

As for the stone tablet he got at the end, Lin Bai did not dare to show it. "I have never heard of this person." Gu Jiuzhong did not know Lu Qingyin.

After talking for a long time, Gu Jiuzhong finally left, leaving only Lin Bai and Pei Ning in the cabin.

After many dangerous experiences, life and death, seeing the wonders of the world and the separations of the world, the two of them were like dry firewood and a fiery fire.

Before I could take off my clothes, someone knocked on the door.

Pei Ning was thin-skinned and wanted to stop, but he couldn't stand Lin Baichi's pestering.

"This is the Gu family's flying boat. It has a soundproof effect."

Lin Bai made a fuss several times, but Pei Ning held back and didn't say anything. Even when he tried to persuade her, she only responded occasionally.

After two hours, the cabin door was opened and Qu Ruyi and Cheng Shuang appeared.

I don't know how they got together.

Qu Ruyi walked in, without saying a word, just slightly bent over and sniffed.

"Why did you let Lu Qingyin escape? And you even let her drink the fairy tea?" Cheng Shuang was a straightforward person. She grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and angrily said, "Lin Zhuanlun, you are so useless!"

"More useless than you?" Lin Bai asked.

"..." Cheng Shuang opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"As soon as you escape from danger, you become obsessed with sex." Qu Ruyi sneered, "How can you achieve great things?"

"Although love between men and women is the truth of nature, being so greedy for pleasure is not what we should do!" Cheng Shuang also said.

These two people came just to cause trouble, but Lin Pei ignored them and just sat quietly with his eyes closed.

After enduring this for a few days, he flew past Xinyifang on a flying boat and entered the main mountain of the Qiaoshan Sect.

Pei Ning returned to Tianchi Sect. Qu Ruyi and Cheng Shuang became sisters after chatting, and no one knew where they went to play.

Lin Bai had a strong sense of being a vassal, so he went to look for Gu Yao first.

"The ancestor is not here." Gu Yao didn't waste any words when she arrived at the cave under Aunt Gu's butt.

Lin Bai stepped forward, stirred the small pool vigorously, and asked, "Where did the ancestor go?"

"How should I know?" Gu Yao shook her head. "I heard that you were so powerful that you competed with Qu Chengjia."

"It's just a rumor." Lin Bai was too lazy to talk about Qu Chengjia, and asked again: "Has Ancestor Xiang returned?"

"No news." Gu Yao replied.

"Is there any unusual movement in Jiuyin Mountain?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I don't know." Gu Yao was clueless.

Lin Bai was too lazy to talk to her anymore, so he patted his butt and went to find Zhu Jianyang.

After a while, Gu Wushang and Zhu Yuhuan came over, and even Gu Feixue came in person.

"You are of the same generation as the leaders of the three sects, both of you are of the 'Wu' generation." Lin Bai looked at Gu Wushang.

Gu Wushang was frightened and quickly poured tea for Lin Bai. "Senior, please don't scare me." He looked very ugly. "My life force has the effect of rejuvenation, so I'm named Wushang. How dare I associate myself with three Nascent Soul masters?"

After scaring people, Lin Bai felt much better and continued to discuss Taoism with Gu Feixue.

After talking for a whole day, Yang Shu and Cheng Daojin came to invite him.

This time in the secret realm, I helped the Yang and Cheng families, and their relationship became even deeper.

Lin Bai already has a close relationship with the direct descendants of the three Yuanying stages of the Qiaoshan Sect.

"They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows. I already have three burrows. But Aunt Gu's burrow is bigger."

Lin Bai muttered to himself for a long time, then called Gu Wushang and Zhu Yuhuan, and followed Yang Cheng and the others to Sister Huanhuan's residence.

Cheng Shuang and Qu Ruyi were also there, and they were talking to Yang Huan about the past at Mianlong Mountain.

They were all young men who had just established their foundation. They were naturally enthusiastic and generous people. Drinking under the moon like this, all their worries disappeared.

When the drunken crowd had left, Lin Bai and Yang Huan went inside to talk in detail.

"In pursuit of the great path, what does a little hardship matter? It's a pity that we haven't accomplished our goal yet."

"This is what I should do. I have long regarded Yang Shu and Yang Chen as my own brothers."

"Sister Huanhuan, you are so nice."

The noise continued until dawn, when Lin Bai finally withdrew to chat with Zhu Jianyang.

Before we could say a few words, Miaomiao and Jiang Yu arrived.

"Master!" Miaomiao's eyes were red, and she threw herself into Lin Bai's arms, "Miaomiao misses Master!" Her nose was twitching, looking really pitiful.

Lin Bai was still resentful about the incident with the bamboo hat, but when he saw Miaomiao he didn't feel angry at all.

"Senior." Jiang Yu was an honest child and bowed respectfully.

"Okay." Lin Bai smiled and nodded, then looked at Miaomiao and said, "The bamboo hat you made for me was lost. Come back and make another one. It should be the same style as the one you gave to others."

Miaomiao didn't even move her eyes, and said directly: "That won't do! Master, the hats I made for them are female, and yours are male."

She looked up and said very seriously, "I only hope that Master can have more female confidantes and many children!"

She always finds a way to smooth things over.

Lin Bai was convinced. As both a master and a father, he was naturally more tolerant of her. As long as she didn't tear down the sky, everything would be fine.

Besides, even if this girl is a little cunning, she is still filial after all.

Lin Bai chatted with the two girls for a while, and then tested them on the formation. Seeing that they were quite good at fooling people, he did not force them to embarrass themselves.

After talking for a long time, Lin Bai went to say goodbye to Gu Yao and took the two girls back to Xinyifang.

Since Aunt Gu was not around, Lin Bai was too lazy to stay here. He might as well go back to his cave to study the stone tablet and taste the fruit of the twigs.

"Okay, you two go back now." Lin Bai drove the two girls back. "I'll take a short break and then go visit Daoist Xiao Jiang. Xiao Yu'er, tell your sister to listen to... listen attentively to my story."

The two girls were very obedient and bowed and left immediately.

When I opened the cave door, I saw a beautiful figure.

The visitor was wearing green clothes, sitting cross-legged, with his back to Lin Bai, his black hair loose. He was a little thin, and although he didn't see his face, he knew he was cold and indifferent.

Lin Bai had been fooled by the fox many times, so he was already tired of it. He knew that the fox was looking for trouble, but he still pretended to be happy.

The cave door slowly closed, and Lin Bai hurried forward, kneeling beside the woman in green, and said happily, "Ancestor, why are you here?"

As he spoke, he did not forget to move his hands, gently pinching her thin shoulders, and flattering her: "Grandmaster, why don't you see me? I miss you so much! I encountered many things in that secret realm this time, and I have a lot to say to you!"

Gu Qingshui turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Bai with a slightly frown.

Lin Bai was a shameless person. He had witnessed Lu Qingyin's secret forbidden technique before, and he was itching to do it, so he gently patted her back and said in a friendly way: "Grandfather, why do you always avoid me? I know that you think I am stupid, and I will definitely correct myself in the future to show my filial piety to you. I just hope that you can smile."

At this point, Lin Bai did not forget to brag, saying: "Old Ancestor, this time I went deep into the secret realm and encountered many difficulties, but when I thought of you, I was not afraid at all!"

"Alright, put your hands down." Gu Qingshui's voice was less cold, but somewhat helpless, "Where's the bronze mirror?"

Bronze mirror? Didn't you take it away? Lin Bai was stunned for a moment before he realized that after all his efforts, this person was not a fox in disguise!

"Ancestor," Lin Bai said with shame on his face, "It was because of my incompetence that Fairy Chen Yu took it away from me!"

As he spoke, he pounded the ground in anger.

"How can you be incompetent?" Gu Qingshui sneered, "You even dared to provoke Qu Chengjia, who dares to say that you are incompetent?"

"Old Ancestor, you know me. I have always been honest, simple and kind. When others bully or insult me, I avoid them and let them do what they want."

Lin Bai quickly explained: "But Qu Chengjia intended to harm me. I crawled on the ground and could only fight for my life. Ancestor, you have to help me!"

"Help you kill her?" Gu Qingshui asked.

"That's not necessary." Lin Bai was very clear-headed. He knew that Aunt Gu would never go out to fight Yi Jin Dan herself, and she was unwilling to borrow someone else's help, so he said, "I should settle the grudge myself. I just hope that the ancestor can give me one or two secret methods to make me stronger so that I won't be at a loss when facing the enemy."

As Lin Bai spoke, he sighed and said, "In the secret realm this time, there is a female cultivator from Jiuyin Mountain named Lu Qingyin. This person's behavior is treacherous and she has a myriad of magic. She possesses the forbidden technique of burning life and the wonderful method of transformation, which really caused me to suffer a lot. If it weren't for the favor of heaven, I wouldn't be able to come back this time."

"The forbidden method of burning life and the evil method of transformation are both methods that will cause great harm in the future." Gu Qingshui asked calmly: "What have you forced people to become? You made them ignore the future and only care about the present?"

How come this guy is more talkative than Cheng Shuang? Lin Bai was scared and could only say, "Well... actually, it was me and three fellow practitioners of Yunxia Sect who worked together."

"My Gu family also has forbidden techniques, but they are not easily passed on."

Gu Qingshui raised her head slightly, her eyes rolling like a river, "Are you ready?"

Are you going to cause trouble? To mess with Lu Haike? Or to mess with Jiuyin Mountain? Who are your helpers? I don't trust your methods, Auntie Gu!

But now that they’ve come to my door, I can’t push them away!

Lin Bai did not hesitate at all, and said firmly: "Lin Zhuanlun is willing to be the pioneer for the ancestor, even if it means death!"
