The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 212 Grand Formation
Gu Qingshui turned into water and disappeared, and the cave returned to peace.

"The old man's shoulders are thin and small, so they feel a little uncomfortable when I pinch them. They are not as comfortable as Jiang girl's."

Lin Bai looked at his hands for a while, thinking that he had taken a step forward this time. He only hoped that he could massage Aunt Gu's legs the next time they met.

"A fox is pleasant to the touch, but it is not a human being after all. Ancestor Gu has been very kind to me, and I wish I could show my filial piety to him!"

He muttered to himself for a long time and refined two batches of Tiger and Wolf Pills before he finally calmed down.

After being in a daze for a while, he came to the stone plate.

But I could see stars hidden in the clouds, each forming a constellation. There was a hint of green on the outside, which was Aunt Gu's bracelet.

Xiuxiu seemed to be lazy and stopped doing the deduction.

"Now that you know where I am, you're too lazy? You stinky fox, don't even bother to do anything about it!"

After cursing for a while, Lin Bai thought carefully about what Aunt Gu said.

In fact, Gu Qingshui didn't say anything useful when he came this time. He just asked Lin Bai to go to Qingyun Mountain of Shangqiaoshan Sect and obey his orders.

As a small foundation-building person, like an ant, Lin Bai had no idea of ​​the Nascent Soul's thoughts. However, although Gu Qingshui was always cold, he was not cunning, nor did he seem to be very scheming. Whether he loved or hated was written on his face.

"Auntie Gu was a young genius. She achieved Nascent Soul at an early age. Everything went smoothly for her. She rarely flattered others and was a bit naive."

"There are both good and bad things about hanging out with people like this."

After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai opened his eyes and took out the escape talisman given by Xiuxiu.

"Fox stingy!"

I feel uncomfortable if I don’t curse the fox every day.

After putting away the pills and opening the cave door, he saw Miaomiao and Xiaoyuer waiting there.

"Senior." Jiang Yu bowed respectfully. "My sister is ready to listen attentively. Let me urge you."

Lin Bai also wanted to taste the delicious fruits on the twigs again, but because of Aunt Gu's order, he had to endure it.

"My sister also said that the seniors have experienced many hardships outside. Can you give a sermon in Yuhu and talk about the gains and losses?" Jiang Yu spoke clearly, with jade on his forehead and a smile on his face.

The so-called preaching is a common thing in the sects and families. If you succeed in building your foundation outside, you have to talk about it when you come back; if you go into a secret place and come back, you have to talk to your fellow disciples; or if you encounter a monster, you have to tell them how to capture it or how to escape; even how to deal with independent cultivators, or even how to prevent being cheated.

Of course, if the person concerned doesn't want to talk more, that's fine. But as long as it's not a secret, most people will share something with their fellow disciples.

This is one of the so-called background. Everything has precedent.

"Forget about the preaching." Lin Bai waved his hand. "I am only at the foundation building stage. How can I preach under the Golden Core Sect? How about this? I will talk a little about the principles of formations and the way of alchemy some other day."

Now Lin Bai is familiar with all the sects and families. Whenever someone asks him to talk, Lin Bai will talk about alchemy. After all, alchemy is a popular subject, and no matter when he talks about it, there are always people willing to listen.

"Thank you, Senior." Jiang Yu bowed happily and asked, "When are you free? I can make arrangements."

"whatever."

Lin Bai was about to go to Qingyun Mountain, so he didn't care about these little things. "You guys go take care of these things. I have a lot of things to do."

He put his hands behind his back and looked towards the horizon. The clouds were changing and his eyes could not break through the clouds. "I have to focus my energy on serving you, my nobleman."

Jiang Yu and Miaomiao looked at each other, not knowing what it meant, let alone who the benefactor was.

After dealing with the two little girls, Lin Bai closed the door of the cave which was not yet warm, and went to Xinyifang.

I went for a walk in Fengming Pavilion and asked Zhu Yuhui to report my safety to Zhu Yushu and Tian Wanjun.

After leaving Fengming Pavilion, he wandered to the Crystal Palace and met the old cultivator on the way.

"I heard that a young foundation-building cultivator from Qiaoshan confronted my uncle-master and made Uncle Qu lose a lot of face. Do you know where that person came from?" After the old cultivator received the Tiger and Wolf Pill from Lin Bai, he started to chat.

The news spread so quickly? Lin Bai asked with a smile: "Oh? Which young hero is it?"

"What young hero? You better stop talking." The old cultivator pulled Lin Bai's sleeve and lowered his voice, saying, "I heard that he is a ruthless person who loves to show off. He calls his ability his Dharma name and even hooked up with Uncle Qu's last disciple. Yes, he is the one who is bound by the fate of Fairy Chen Yu. Tsk tsk tsk, Qiaoshan is really full of demons and monsters. We should just change the name to Jiuyin Mountain."

"..." Lin Bai didn't expect that after he had a few arguments with the Jindan cultivator, his reputation would become worse and worse!

After talking for a long time, Lin Bai said goodbye and left.

After finding Tianchi Pavilion, he sent a letter to Yao Qianyuan to deliver to Pei Ning.

"How did that bitch hook up with Yang Shu?" Yao Qianyuan received the letter and gnashed his teeth in anger.

She had always been at odds with Gai Yingqiu, but later Gai Yingqiu established his foundation and now he has gotten what he wanted and is getting closer and closer to Yang Shu. Yao Qianyuan is naturally very dissatisfied.

"How should I know?" Lin Bai gave her a bottle of Tiger and Wolf Pills and went back to Qiaoshan Sect.

When he arrived at the place, he didn't go to Qingyun Mountain first, but instead went to tell Sister Huanhuan about his worries.

After his mood was soothed, Lin Bai felt much better and went to look for Gu Yao.

When they arrived at the cave under Gu Qingshui's butt, there was another person besides Gu Yao.

This man was very old, with white hair and eyebrows, and a white beard that was longer than Gu Yao's hair.

His face was dry, his eyes were cloudy, and his hands were like skin and bones.

Only a kind smile appeared on his face.

This person was at the Golden Core stage, sitting cross-legged beside a small pond, with Gu Yao kneeling beside him.

"Lin Zhuanlun greets the senior." Lin Bai bowed.

“No need to be so polite.” The old man waved his hand slightly, motioning for him to come forward.

Lin Bai hurried forward and knelt beside him.

The old man held Lin Bai's hand, then held Gu Yao's hand, and pressed their hands together, "They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, Yao'er, please don't bully them."

What kind of love story is this? From the old to the young, no one in the Gu family is reliable! Lin Bai has no temper at all, not to mention that he has no thoughts about Gu Yao, even if he has... really no.

Gu Yao immediately pulled her hand out, and Lin Bai also withdrew his hand awkwardly.

"Is this man senile and irritable?" Lin Bai asked Gu Yao with his eyes.

Gu Yao didn't understand, and said helplessly: "Grandmaster, he has his own Taoist partner, don't point fingers at him!"

"So what if you have a Taoist companion? Just be happy." The old man was very open-minded.

"Senior, Senior Sister Gu and I are friends of gentlemen, and I don't have any evil thoughts." Lin Bai immediately expressed his determination.

It’s not that he disliked Gu Yao, but because he had just hit Aunt Gu on the back, Lin Bai disliked Gu Yao because she was too young and unattractive.

It’s so boring to look for Gu Yao. If you want to find someone, look for the Nascent Soul ancestor of Gu Yao’s family.

"So that's how it is." The old cultivator sighed.

Lin Bai didn't understand why this old cultivator came, but he just pretended to be an honest man.

The Gu family had lost a batch of golden elixirs in the past. Lin Bai had only seen Gu Jinzhen and Gu Jiuzhong, so this was the first time he had seen this person.

But judging from his appearance, he is probably at the end of his life and won't live for many more years.

Gu Yao patiently introduced it immediately.

This man was indeed a member of the Gu family, named Gu Laoquan. In terms of secular seniority, he was Gu Qingshui's grandfather, and he was already 520 years old this year.

The life span of a Jindan cultivator is 500 years. However, most of them do not live to be 500 years old, because their old injuries damaged their vitality, or they exchanged their life for their own like Lu Qingyin. However, there are also some who have a long life span and live 20 to 30 years longer. Such people either took longevity elixirs and spiritual herbs, such as Wannian Dan and Changqing Dan; or they have a different destiny and use supernatural powers to prolong their life, such as the Changsheng Tree and Evergreen Ivy.

However, Lin Bai naturally admired the golden elixir that could last for 520 years.

"Xiao Shui said that you have some talent in formation." Gu Laoquan looked at Lin Bai with his cloudy eyes.

Xiaoshui? Aunt Gu? Lin Bai understood that this person was here to preach.

Previously, Lin Bai had been taught the book “Entering the Formation”. He had only studied the first seven formations in detail and had not yet figured out the rest, so he needed someone to guide him.

"I am a dull young man and only have a few insights." Lin Bai said modestly.

"There are so many methods and skills. It's a good thing to choose the right one." Gu Laoquan sighed, his eyes seemed to see through time. "Speaking of which, I have also gone astray."

Lin Bai and Gu Yao sat up straight, looking as if they were listening attentively.

This old man has lived for so long that he must have countless life experiences to impart, and Lin and Gu were naturally happy to listen.

"I'm stupid, I don't know anything! I've only opened two spiritual orifices, and I'm still at the third level of Qi training when I'm over thirty."

Gu Laoquan's voice was low and vicissitudes, and there was a bit of old age. "There was no other way. The ancestor said that you should learn to make talismans, but the talismans were so scary that I wanted to sleep. I was kicked out by the teacher within a month."

"I didn't give up. Since the great way didn't work for me, I wanted to learn a skill and raise a few beautiful wives. I also tried to learn how to grow spiritual plants, but I ruined a few of the ancestors' new seedlings, and now I'm being kicked out again."

"Later, the ancestor sent me to make pills. I burned the furnace for half a year, and my face was blacker than charcoal. Several girls I liked stopped dating me. I was very angry, so I made a furnace of pills and tried one. Fortunately, my senior brother from the Zhu family was there, otherwise I would have confessed on the spot."

"The ancestor saw that I was not good at the Great Dao and had no talent for learning, so he sent me to Santongfang as a receptionist. As a result, I was cheated of many elixirs by a few casual cultivators. It was not a beauty trap, but a setup to take advantage of my lack of knowledge!"

"I really had no other options. I was locked up again. I had nothing to do, so I looked for two introductory books on formations. I didn't expect that I could actually get started. This is like a dragon entering the sea or a tiger entering the mountains!"

"It's difficult to get started with formations, and even harder to master them. I never dared to think about practicing formations before."

Gu Laoquan talked about the past for a long time, and Lin Bai and Gu Yao listened with great interest.

This is only possible for the children of the Yuanying family. If it were a casual cultivator, how could he make the same mistakes over and over again? He would have been beaten to death by his elders long ago.

"The book 'Entering the Formation' was compiled by the senior?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"If I could have that ability," Gu Laoquan pointed to the top of the cave with difficulty, "could I let Xiaoshui sit on my head? Could I let Jiuyin Mountain take advantage of me?"

Lin Bai and Gu Yao didn't dare to say anything. Mr. Gu didn't have many days left to live, so he could say whatever he wanted, but Lin and Gu didn't have the courage to do so, so they just pretended not to hear anything.

"Come to think of it, Xiaoshui is also a bit of a loser. When she was a child, she asked me for advice on formations. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Gu Laoquan shook his head, obviously looking down on Gu Qingshui's abilities.

"Grandfather," Gu Yao lost her temper and pulled his sleeve, saying, "You came here today to preach, didn't you? Lin Zhuanlun and I are waiting for you!"

"I can't say I'm a preacher. I just survived a few more days and saw some powerful formations." Gu Laoquan was actually humble.

"Then let's get started, ancestor!" Gu Yao said with a smile.

"Begin?" Gu Laoquan opened his cloudy eyes, "This place is too small to set up a large formation."

"Then where are we going?" Gu Yao asked.

Gu Laoquan looked towards the door, and Gu Yao quickly helped him up.

"Go to the most suitable place." Gu Laoquan walked forward tremblingly.

After exiting the cave, Gu Laoquan took out a flying boat, which was only about ten feet long and half a foot wide.

There were cloud-like waves on the flying boat. "Come here." He pulled Lin Bai and said, "I'll show you the way."

After boarding the flying boat, he stuffed many high-quality spirit stones into it. Clouds of gas spread out, covering the flying boat.

The clouds rose and slowly moved to the northeast.

The flying boat hid in the clouds for a day, and Lin Bai finally understood where he was going.

"What's the point of setting up formations and playing house at home all day? Go down and try it yourself and kill a few. It's better than anything else." Gu Laoquan smiled.

Gu Yao was not a fool. She roughly knew where she was going. She was not afraid and was full of fighting spirit.

The flying boat continued to move forward, sometimes moving and sometimes stopping.

Lin Bai felt nothing in his heart, Gu Yao became more and more silent, but Gu Laoquan became more and more energetic, and a sinister smile was seen from time to time.

When they arrived two hundred miles away from Cang Yun Gate, the clouds fell to the ground and the shape of a flying boat appeared.

The three of them got down from the ground, and Gu Laoquan took out a bell and gave it to Gu Yao.

"Within a mile, if someone approaches, we will give an alarm." Gu Laoquan pulled Lin Bai back and said, "In the past few days, you have been a few points better than Yao'er in discussing the art of formation. You are also good at speaking, so you must be good at seducing people, right? Why don't you like Yaoyao? Does Feixue like you?"

"..." Lin Bai understood Gu Laoquan's temper, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "I would like to see the senior's killing formation."

Gu Laoquan chuckled and led the two forward. "I know this place well. I've been here countless times. I'm very familiar with it."

He had already explored the route.

They walked and stopped, being cautious and alert. After bypassing Cangyun Gate, they came to the woods by the sea, and the three of them stopped on the only way from Jiuyin Mountain to Cangyun Gate.

"The formation needs to take advantage of the situation." Gu Laoquan looked at the sea, saw the rolling waves and the seagulls on the beach, and said with a smile: "The water near the coast is very astringent and the wind and waves are strong, so we naturally need to borrow some."

He sat cross-legged under a tree by the coast, took out the formation diagram, and explained to Lin Bai and Gu Yao the trend of spiritual energy and weather changes in this place.

After talking for a long time, Lin and Gu still didn't know what formation to set up, so they just followed the instructions and went about their business.

"You don't need to understand it now. Just do it once and you will gain something. As for your future achievements, it depends on yourself."

Gu Laoquan directed the two men without hesitation, and it was obvious that he had already understood the geography of the place thoroughly.

We traveled ten miles along the coast, busy for three days and nights.

With Gu Laoquan as the core of the formation, the grand formation was finally completed.

Gu Laoquan took out a round object the size of a head and placed it on the hub of the formation.

"If it's to capture a golden elixir, why would we need so much effort? But if we want to trap the Nascent Soul, we need the help of the demon elixir!" Gu Laoquan's eyes were clear and his face looked crazy.

The so-called demon pill is something that is produced in the body of a demon beast after it achieves golden elixir.

The demon pill has endless uses and is an important item for making a natal magic weapon. It can have various uses, depending mainly on the type of demon beast it is.

If it is used elsewhere, it will also be magical. However, the demon pills are taken from demon beasts, which have violent auras, and each one is different. Ordinary people cannot take advantage of their power, and only golden pills can use them.

The demon pill that Gu Laoquan took out had layers of ripples on it, and it did not show any violence, but rather a peaceful aura.

"This..." Gu Yao was still a little confused, "Grandfather, we have set up a formation, but it won't move. How can we get people in?"

"No hurry, no hurry." Gu Laoquan crushed a jade pendant, "Those who are good at defense hide under the nine earths, and those who are good at attack move above the nine heavens. We hide, and someone will attack us." He looked at Gu Yao lovingly and said, "Silly child, you don't really think that with a formation, we can cause trouble for the Nascent Soul cultivators with our old and young strength, right?"

Gu Yao said nothing and looked up to the east.

I saw the clouds on the sea break up, and it seemed that someone was coming from a far distance.

The figure arrived in an instant, but stopped after entering the formation.

"My Gu family was deceived before, but now the situation is reversed!" Gu Lao put all his hands on the monster, "Chengyu Pingbo formation, start!"

His white hair was tumbling, and his face, which was already just skin, looked even thinner.

"Lu Haike!" A cold voice was heard as blue waves cut through the sky.
