The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 226 Preaching
The afternoon sun is bright, and the Jade Lake is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

The ceremony of becoming an apprentice has been completed, and the status of master and apprentice has been determined.

"Master."

"Master's wife."

Jiang Yu knelt down, then stood up and saluted Miaomiao, calling her "Senior Sister."

The first one to join the sect is called the senior sister. Even though Jiang Yu is a few years older, she still has to call Miaomiao the senior sister.

This is not just ordinary courtesy between peers, but a friendship like that between sisters.

Miaomiao was wearing a black Taoist robe, with a smile on her face, but also a bit helpless. She could only lean forward to return the greeting and said, "Junior sister."

Lin Bai acted like an accomplished person and gave some nonsense advice like sisters should get along well with each other and care for each other.

Pei Ning seemed very happy as well. He took out a tiger claw very generously and said, "I hunted a white tiger in the secret realm before. This claw can kill low-level monsters."

Jiang Yu stepped forward and took it obediently.

Pei Ning took out two fist-sized tiger teeth and gave them to Ye Qingmeng and Miaomiao. He also added, "I hope you stay away from the harm of beasts."

"Not bad!" Jiang Xiaobai also nodded in approval.

Lin Bai pretended not to understand, smiling as usual and nodding along.

After the commotion, Lin Bai spoke for a while, and the people watching the ceremony dispersed.

There were only four foundation-building people and three little girls practicing Qi on Yu Lake.

"Xiao Ye, is there still no news from Taoist Baimei?" Qu Ruyi and Baimei had some friendship, so she was also involved with Ye Qingmeng.

"No." Ye Qingmeng shook his head.

Qu Ruyi looked at Lin Bai.

"I don't know either." Lin Bai shook his head.

"When will your master come to pick you up?" Qu Ruyi asked Ye Qingmeng again.

Ye Qingmeng still shook his head.

Lin Bai looked at Ye Qingmeng and was also curious about where Li Xinghe was going.

When watching Changhe Wudan Theory, Sister Zhen, who was deeply involved, seemed to be removed. But vaguely, a white-haired female cultivator was seen screaming, as if she was imprisoned.

That person must be Lu Qingyin. But I couldn't see clearly at that time, and I didn't know where Lu Qingyin lived.

"Looking at Brother Li's personality, he is not a person who kills indiscriminately. Or rather, given his high position, he would not bother to kill. Now that he trapped Lu Qingyin but did not kill her, is it because of Ye Ruoqing? Or is there another reason?"

"But Lu Qingyin's golden elixir is in sight. With her madness, she might force the elixir to form. I wonder if she can break free from Brother Li's cage by then. Or is it that Brother Li is giving her a hope of forming the elixir?"

"Also, what effect did the tea that Wuxiang drank in his old residence have? Fox didn't tell me about Xiuxiu, which is really worrying."

Lin Bai cursed the fox again in his heart but didn't dare show it on his face. He just said a few words to Ye Qingmeng and then drove the three maids away.

Under the black tower, in the pavilion beside the island, there were only four foundation-building warriors left.

Yesterday, after Sister Pei and Qu Ruyi arrived, they discussed Taoism with Lin Jiang in the black tower for the whole night and chatted about a lot of gossip.

Speaking of which, among the four, Qu Ruyi established his foundation the earliest, followed by Jiang Xiaobai, Lin Bai third, and Pei Ning the latest.

Currently, Lin Bai and Jiang Xiaobai are both at the fourth level of foundation building, Qu Ruyi is at the third level, and Pei Ning is at the second level.

Among the four, Pei Ning is the most dedicated. She has always practiced hard and rarely interacted with others.

In the past, he only spoke briefly to Yao Qianyuan and Gai Yingqiu, and when he went down the mountain he only stayed in Lin Bai's cave.

Jiang Xiaobai has a playful temperament, but after building her foundation, she is considered an elder in the Jiang family. Her temperament is not much more stable, but she seldom goes out. Except when Lin Bai comes to visit and occasionally teaches Jiang Yu, Miaomiao and others, she just stays in the black tower to practice meditation.

Moreover, she had good aptitude and took tongue grass when she was building her foundation, so her progress in cultivation was really rapid, without even the slightest obstacle.

Although Qu Ruyi was the first to establish her foundation, she has never been serious about her work. She has been working for three days and resting for two days. Recently, she has been feeling sad and has not put her mind into cultivation at all.

Lin Bai was the most stable one. In addition to practicing, he also practiced the Hunyuan Body Tempering Method, as well as the methods of alchemy and formation, and went out to mess around from time to time.

Although his aptitude was inferior, his cultivation had not fallen behind due to the stone plate. Moreover, he had experienced ten or a hundred times more than others. When his mind was clear, he had already grasped the theory of elixir in his hands.

"Alas." Qu Ruyi sighed, "You have accepted disciples at such a young age, I really envy you!" She pulled Lin Bai's sleeve and sighed, "In my Yunxia Sect, only those who have reached the Golden Core stage can accept disciples. The rest are mostly taught by foundation-building teachers, and they are not considered master and apprentice. Occasionally, there are foundation-building masters who accept disciples, but they have to be veterans who have been building foundations for many years and have some extraordinary skills."

"There's nothing I can do." Lin Bai sighed.

"Daoyou Zhuanlun has learned a lot. My family is very happy to hand Xiaoyuer over to him." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile, looking like a young man from a wealthy family.

"I feel relieved too." Pei Ning also spoke.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Yu'er has been with me since she was a child. When she was young, I taught her the method of flying knife. Later, I taught her how to make pills and talismans, and even the way of formations. Although we are not master and disciple in name, we have been master and disciple in reality." Lin Bai had already boarded the boat, so of course he had to say some polite words.

The four of them chatted for a while, and Jiang Xiaobai clapped his hands, "Lin Zhuanlun is a genius, and he has already mastered the theory of alchemy. Why don't we form a Taoist association and let him give us some pointers?"

Pei Ning smiled slightly, not surprised. Qu Ruyi looked Lin Bai up and down, mumbling something.

"The ancestors of all generations have said that the theory of alchemy inherits the past and opens up the future, and it is extremely important to the formation of the elixir. It is even related to the great way in the future. It is also said that the theory of alchemy is obtained from one's own destiny, temperament, and experience." Jiang Xiaobai was also very curious, "Lin Zhuanlun, where did you get the theory of alchemy? What inspiration did you get?"

The three girls looked at Lin Bai together.

Since the matter involved a great cause, the three women were all ambitious and wanted to strive for advancement, so they naturally acted in a serious manner.

Lin Bai looked at the three people. Two of them had physical contact with him, and although the remaining one was the descendant of his enemy, they were still friends for life and death.

If Sister Huanhuan and Xiuxiu could also come, it would be perfect.

Therefore, he did not hide anything, but sincerely wanted to inspire the three women.

"My theory of elixir is based on what I have experienced, what I have seen and heard, and what I have gained from it." Lin Bai sighed, "In the past, I was an ant, hunted by Song Qing. If there were no masters who pitied me and cherished me, I would have turned into bones long ago."

"Haha." Pei Ning sneered.

Qu Jiang and the other looked at Pei Ning, who said, "Why don't you tell me in detail how I pity and cherish you?"

"It's better not to talk about the details." Lin Bai waved his hand and quickly continued: "I have gone through countless hardships and crossed tens of thousands of miles of sea waves to come here. I saw the power of the dead tree cicada, saw Song Qingzhi's enlightenment before death, saw Tie Huasheng die as a disciple, and so on. Looking back on the past, I encountered various scenery along the way, and this is how I achieved the theory of alchemy."

"It's the same as not saying anything!" Jiang Xiaobai said.

"My insights into alchemy are quite different," Lin Bai could only explain, "but if I were to say who inspired me the most, it would be Song Qing and Tie Huasheng."

One of them was a disciple of Yunxia Sect, and the other was a fierce and independent cultivator. The former saw and heard the golden elixir tribulation cloud when he died, and the latter was only one step away from the golden elixir when he died, and had already summoned the tribulation cloud.

"Song Qing established his foundation very early, and experienced few dangers. Later, he encountered the secret method of the dead tree, and he became an old man from a young man. His Taoism was gone, and he almost died. He was seriously injured before his death, and encountered the golden elixir heavenly tribulation. That's when he proposed the theory of elixir, which is to use the suffering of life and the suffering of all living beings as the difficult return of a long river, to take its turbid meaning."

"Tie Huasheng also built his foundation when he was young, and he also gained powerful magical powers. He was really proud of himself, just like a precious sword out of its sheath. But later on, his cultivation did not develop, and his reputation declined, just like a precious sword covered with dust, withered and dilapidated. His rusty sword is in perfect harmony with his experiences and even his state of mind."

"I don't know what Tie Huasheng's theory of elixir is, but I saw his words before his death, which probably meant to cleanse the rust. I have observed Chen Tianren's calligraphy for a long time, and I know that Chen Tianren's original life was also a withered sword. Tie Huasheng's theory of elixir should be similar to Chen Tianren's, but he realized it too late, and the rusty sword was shattered into dust after being cleansed."

"Song Qing saw the hardships of life, and Tie Huasheng saw the difficulties of the road. The pure white is covered with dust. The former gets the turbidity of the river, and the latter removes the dirt of the rusty sword, hoping to obtain the purity."

"In my opinion, both of them are a bit too paranoid. It's not that their intentions are bad, but if they are on the right path, a little more paranoia may lead them to go further, but they are ultimately taking a different approach."

After Lin Bai sighed, he looked at the three women's reactions.

"From what you said, Tie Huasheng is imitating Chen Tianren's theory of elixir. Don't you look down on Chen Tianren?" Qu Ruyi asked curiously.

"I don't know what Chen Tianren's theory of elixirs is." Lin Bai shook his head very honestly and said, "It's just that I comprehend Chen Tianren's calligraphy every day, and I deeply feel that Tie Huasheng is far behind. Maybe Tie Huasheng thinks he is a precious sword, so he wants to clean it and shine again. But Chen Tianren has always believed that he is just an ordinary sword blade."

Qu Ruyi lowered her head and said nothing.

"What if you were in their situation and were dirty?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"The water of Canglang is clear, the water of Canglang is turbid, I sail on it." Lin Bai said with a smile, "When it is turbid, it is turbid, when it is clear, it is clear. People say that eight out of ten things are not as you wish, why do we need to seek peace all the time?"

"Is this your theory on alchemy?" Pei Ning asked, tilting his head.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "My theory of alchemy is to ride a boat through the waves. Why would I care about the dirt and mud?"

At this point, Lin Bai grabbed Pei Ning's hand and said, "In the past, Song Qing was like a mountain, and Qu Chengjia looked up at it without realizing how high it was. Now, it seems like he is just a step above it."

"I understand." Pei Ning was always aloof in front of others, and rarely showed affection with Lin Bai in public. She couldn't pull her hand away, and her face turned red, so she stopped pulling and just glared at Lin Bai.

"Lin Zhuanlun has obtained the best elixir." Jiang Xiaobai looked at the adulterer's hands and sighed, "If he stays away from women, he will definitely achieve great success in the future."

"I will definitely keep him away from women!" Pei Ning looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

"..." Jiang Xiaobai did not respond and went to see Qu Ruyi.

Qu Ruyi was a reckless person. She pulled Lin and Pei apart, then grabbed Pei Ning's hand with one hand and Lin Bai's hand with the other, and asked, "Do you two really want to kill my ancestor for revenge?"

"I am only at the foundation building stage, how can I touch a high-level Jindan cultivator?" Lin Bai pulled his hand back and rubbed it, "You're hurting me."

"Why can't I do that? Junior Sister Jiang said that you have obtained the best elixir theory, and the golden elixir is in sight!" Qu Ruyi just shook his head and said, "It's not like I haven't seen you kill people across levels before."

She was referring to the murder of Shen Xu in the cave.

"It was just a coincidence." Lin Bai answered honestly.

"All the sects and families in Qiaoshan say that you have the talent of Chen Tianren." Qu Ruyi looked at Pei Ning again and said, "I have competed with you many times, but you always let me go without using my full strength. Are you holding back to find my ancestor?"

"How can the light of my firefly compete with the bright moon of Chen Tianren?" Pei Ning also shook his head.

Qu Ruyi lost her temper and reached out to pull Jiang Xiaobai for reinforcement, but she saw that she had already moved her butt back.

"I am an outsider, don't involve me." Jiang Xiaobai was trying to protect himself.

"If Lin Zhuanlun invites you to help in a battle in the future, will you be able to show your face in other ways?" Qu Ruyi asked Jiang Xiaobai.

"Sister Qu." Jiang Xiaobai laughed, "People outside say that Lin Zhuanlun is a lucky general. He has a wide range of friends. He has contacts with the Chunyu family, the Tian family, and the three Yuanying descendants of the Qiaoshan Sect. How could it be my turn? Besides, Lin Zhuanlun has always been cautious and self-protective. If it were something else, he would have asked for more reinforcements to ensure victory." Jiang Xiaobai pointed at Lin Pei and said with a smile, "But he has been talking about your ancestor's affairs, so he will only work with Sister Pei and will never ask for help."

After hearing this, Qu Ruyi thought for a while, nodded, and said, "That's true. Lin Zhuanlun is always holding back evil in his heart." She nodded to Jiang Xiaobai and said, "You know him very well, as if you are his bedmate."

"Senior Sister Qu, I respect you as a person, so I'm giving you honest advice!" Jiang Xiaobai immediately became anxious, "My Jiang family is strict in family management, and Qiaoshan is well-known. Don't tarnish someone's innocence!"

Lin Pei and the other man looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said nothing.

"Alright, alright, dear sister, I was wrong." Although Qu Ruyi was very proud, she could still lower her head and quickly apologized. She looked at Lin Bai and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, you and Pei Ning are not easy to deal with. I don't know how bright your future will be." She said pitifully, "I am stuck in the middle, it's really hard to be a human being."

She actually felt that Qu Chengjia had no chance of winning.

Lin Bai couldn't stand Qu Ruyi's pitiful look, so he said, "If you are willing, you can form the elixir sooner. Would I dare to trouble Qu Chengjia?"

"Dare." Qu Ruyi said.

“…” Lin Bai was speechless for a moment.

"There is still a long way to go." Pei Ning had a close relationship with Qu Ruyi after all, so he comforted her, "You and Lin Zhuanlun had a life-and-death friendship, and you have taken care of Xiuxiu for a long time. He will remember your kindness and will not do anything to Qu Chengjia in the future."

Qu Ruyi nodded, as if she had figured it out, and looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai held his forehead and could only nod. He didn't know why Qu Ruyi was so confident that he would definitely be able to defeat Qu Chengjia.

"In my opinion, it's not difficult to resolve grudges." Jiang Xiaobai suddenly spoke.

"How to proceed?" Qu Ruyi asked.

"It's simple! Lin Zhuanlun has always been generous to his own people!" Jiang Xiaobai smiled happily, "You just need to..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Pei Ning's eyes filled with swords.

"What do you need?" Qu Ruyi asked curiously.

"Just keep in touch more often." Jiang Xiaobai said in an embarrassed tone, and was actually a little afraid of Pei Ning.

"Then I'll move in with you?" Qu Ruyi actually believed it. "I'm tired of staying in Tianchi Sect. Pei Ning is only focused on cultivation, and Gai Yingqiu only tells me some great principles of "the way to open a stone is to break a stone". It's not interesting. Cheng Shuang always offends people with her words, so I don't want to look for her anymore."

"It's not suitable, right? My place is small and a bit crowded." Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then quickly declined.

"My real name is Yu Ruyi, and this place is called Yuhu, which is the right place for me to practice Taoism!" Qu Ruyi didn't realize it, but the more he thought about it, the happier he became, "I can also serve as a disciple of the Wheel of Dharma!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Bai pulled Sister Pei away, leaving Qu and Jiang behind to argue.
