The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 247 Meeting
"She's just a child, why are you bullying her?"

Seeing Xiuxiu hiding, Lin Bai tried to reason with Pei Ning.

"Children are not gentle and shy." Pei Ning said.

Lin Bai couldn't argue with her, so he just casually said some of the principles he usually taught Miaomiao, and then pulled Pei Ning into the pool.

Xiuxiu led the way from below, and the three of them dived deeper and deeper, getting deeper and deeper into the water.

This small deep pool is like a well. After diving for more than ten feet, you will reach the bottom.

The wall was inlaid with fluorite, which shone with a faint green light. The bottom of the pool was paved with bluestone, which seemed to be some kind of formation.

Using hand gestures to avoid the water, the three of them wiped off the water stains on their robes.

The area under the pool was already narrow, and for a moment the three of them were actually facing each other.

The blush on Xiuxiu's face had not yet faded, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Pei Ning crossed his arms and looked at Xiuxiu with a smile.

Lin Bai couldn't bear to see Xiu Xiu being bullied, so he asked, "Is this a teleportation array?"

"Yes." Xiuxiu nodded immediately and whispered, "The fairy has set up a formation here to facilitate travel."

"There must be more than one teleportation array of this kind, right?" Pei Ning finally stopped staring at Xiuxiu and looked at the wall of the cave instead.

"Eighteen in total." Xiuxiu was an honest child and did not hide anything.

"A fox has a foul mouth and too many enemies. People say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but little do people know that a cunning fox has eighteen burrows." After Lin Bai finished speaking, he looked at Xiuxiu carefully, "The fairy is not at home, right?"

"No." Xiuxiu smiled and shook her head, and asked curiously: "Are you afraid of fairies?"

"He wants to sleep with you, how can he not be afraid of the fox?" Pei Ning interrupted.

“……”Xiuxiu blushed again.

Lin Bai glared at Pei Ning, and Pei Ning asked back, "Did I say something wrong?"

It didn't make sense, but Lin Bai was thick-skinned, so it was okay. However, Xiuxiu blushed and lowered her head to rub the hem of her clothes.

"When you were a kid, you wouldn't let go of people. Now that you've grown up, you know how to blush?" Pei Ning pinched Xiuxiu's face, "Leave this place immediately!"

Xiuxiu didn't dare to say anything. She just answered "Hmm." and took out a token.

The token should be made of jade, which contrasts with the bluestone at the bottom of the pond under your feet, and then the token emits a distant blue light.

"Hold your breath and guard your heart." Xiuxiu stretched out her hand.

Lin Bai immediately grabbed Xiuxiu's hand, and then quickly pulled Pei Ning's hand.

Pei Ning was in a trance, and suddenly he felt the water above his head rolling, as if it was upside down. A green light flashed, and his mind was in chaos.

When I landed again, I found myself in a pavilion, surrounded by trees, rocks, and the sound of waves in the bamboo forest.

Before he could ask, he heard a tiger roar.

The pressure from the golden elixir descended, and Pei Ning's hand was held tightly by Lin Bai. She held back her dizziness and looked back.

Outside the pavilion, there was a huge mottled tiger with its bloody mouth wide open, revealing teeth as sharp as swords.

His eyes were like copper bells, staring at Lin Pei and the others closely. He exuded a murderous intent and was extremely majestic.

Lin Bai had seen this tiger before. When the three sects were causing trouble in the past, the tiger went to Longmenfang in person to deliver the message on behalf of the fox.

"Tiger." Although this tiger is the fox's lackey, it is a Jindan realm monster after all, so Lin Bai and Pei Ning have to give it respect.

But after he performed the salute, the tiger roared again.

A strong wind blew, bringing with it a foul smell.

"Get out of the way!" Xiuxiu put one hand on her waist and scolded with a stern face.

Sure enough, the tiger put away its ferocious look, wagged its tail, and did not move away. Instead, it just lay down, with a look of grievance on its face.

"It has always been very domineering, and it always shows off its power when it sees strangers. The fairy asked it to protect this place, so even the passing deer and roe deer will be beaten by it." Xiuxiu explained, pulling Lin Bai's hand and leaving the pavilion, "Come with me."

The three continued south and came to a waterfall.

After passing the waterfall, you will see another world.

The grass was green and the peach blossoms were in full bloom. Butterflies were dancing and orioles were flying, and cranes and deer were wandering. A gray bird flew over crookedly and landed on Xiuxiu's shoulder, chirping non-stop.

There is a wide pool of water in front, over a hundred feet in size.

There is a small island on it with an old peach tree growing on it, with pale pink petals and no green leaves.

Looking up at the sky, the soft moonlight is shining down and reflected on the deep pool.

Although there are birds and animals here, it is extremely quiet. When Lin Pei and the others stepped into this place, they felt calm and not a bit irritable.

The spiritual energy is rich and should be in the upper fourth grade.

"That's where the fairy practices," Xiuxiu pointed to the peach tree in the middle of the pond, "Actually, that's where she sleeps every day."

Xiuxiu walked along the edge of the pond again. There were two wooden platforms hidden in the peach forest, with low tables, teacups and a few cushions on them.

On one of the futons lay a sleeping mole.

"This is where Sister Huang and I practice." Xiuxiu asked Lin Pei to sit down and poured tea. "I usually go to the island in the middle of the lake to practice, but I don't think it's as good as here."

"It's Huang Ruhua's residence again." Pei Ning suddenly looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai held the teacup, pretending not to understand, and just nodded, "It's indeed a good place. The fairy really cares about you."

After drinking a sip of peach blossom tea, Lin Bai asked in a low voice: "Where did the fairy go? Where is Xiao Huang?"

"We went to Daoyin Sect, saying we were going to meet a celestial being." Xiuxiu sighed, "Originally, the fairy didn't want to take Sister Huang with her, but when she heard that we were going to meet Chen Tianren, Sister Huang said something like a rusty sword and insisted on going with us."

Sure enough, when they were in Qiaoshan Sect before, Chen Tianren’s first disciple Mo Yingcheng came to the Gu family for help, and then Lin Bai acted as a middleman and was able to contact the fox.

It has been nearly two years now, and the matter of Chen Tianren has not yet been resolved.

"How long has the fairy been gone? Can you tell me why?" Lin Bai asked again.

"It's been more than a year." Xiuxiu shook her head. "As for what happened, the fairy didn't tell me in detail." At this point, Xiuxiu did not forget to add, "The fairy always treats me like a child." She seemed to be quite resentful. She poked the sleeping mole with her finger. When the mole woke up, it chirped again. Xiuxiu had no choice but to take out some dried fruits to coax it.

"Yes, you are not a child anymore." Pei Ning clapped his hands and praised, "You are already familiar with human affairs, and you are ready to bloom."

When Xiuxiu heard this, she glanced at Lin Bai secretly, blushed again, and lowered her head to tease the mole.

Lin Bai had a headache. Of course he wanted to see Xiuxiu, but he also had many things to ask Fox.

Such as the origin of the black knife, the origin of Lu Qingyin, the old story of Xiang Wuhui and Yue Fengshu, and how to play with the gourd.

It would be fine if the fox was not at home, but Sister Pei used to like Xiuxiu very much, but now that Xiuxiu has grown up, she has bullied her in the blink of an eye. Lin Bai couldn't afford to offend both sides, so he quickly said a few words and let Xiuxiu guide him again.

Xiuxiu was naturally happy. She picked a lot of fruits and introduced many wild animal companions to Lin Pei.

After two days of hard work, I finally took a tour around the area.

Then the three of them sat idly again and talked about their experiences in cultivation.

Pei Ning is a sword cultivator, and the method of practicing the sword is to gain enlightenment through competition and seek enlightenment through tempering. That's why Xiuxiu doesn't like what she says.

Xiuxiu studied the theory of numerology and yin and yang, and because of this, she also studied the art of formations, but not in depth.

She talked non-stop, just like the chatterbox she was when she was a child, and there was no end to her talk. One moment she talked about local customs and practices, the next she talked about the taming of spiritual beasts, and even about various spiritual herbs and plants.

But if Pei Ning asked her how to fight back, Xiuxiu would say something like be careful and cautious, and that there would be no danger if you didn't go out, which made Pei Ning laugh.

Lin Bai was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so he immediately told them what he had learned.

All in all, Lin Bai was the most experienced of the three. Whether it was various skills, fighting the enemy in battle, or serving the elders, he was very experienced.

However, Lin Bai only talked about his insights on spiritual practice, and did not talk much about how to coax Aunt Gu or tease the fox.

The three of them talked about the Tao meeting for two days, and then went back to their own practice.

Lin Bai is now at the seventh level of foundation building and has entered the late stage. Since he changed to practicing the Creation Art and put aside all other skills, he has made rapid progress while tempering his body and practicing.

The spiritual energy here is rich, and it is an excellent place for practicing.

Moreover, there is five elements of spiritual energy surrounding the blessed land, so it is naturally very convenient to temper the body.

After a month of meditation, his cultivation had improved further.

Lin Bai estimated that the message sent to Jiang girl had already been delivered, and the girl might have already come, so he set out to look for her.

"I just want to go out and relax." Xiuxiu hesitated and didn't dare to look at Pei Ning's face.

"Don't get too tired." Pei Ning glanced at Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu blushed slightly, but she was very serious, "It's just accompanying him to meet a few friends, it's not tiring at all."

"I mean him." Pei Ning said.

Xiuxiu turned her head slightly to look at Lin Bai, as if she was thinking about something, but her face became redder.

"This is about Qiaoshan Sect, so you two stay here. If everything is safe, you can go next time." Lin Bai said seriously, which actually scared Xiuxiu.

After taking the token, he went to the pavilion again and activated the teleportation array.

Since he had mastered the escape technique, the discomfort during teleportation was not a big deal. Lin Bai also asked Xiuxiu how to set up a teleportation array, but the girl was not well-educated and had not yet learned the true teachings of the fox.

The light flashed, and after a slight feeling of trance, Lin Bai came to the bottom of the small deep pool again.

According to Xiuxiu, Longmenfang is nearly 2,000 miles away from the peach forest where the fox is practicing. And it is so far away, but it arrives in the blink of an eye. The teleportation array is indeed a top-notch array.

"The same goes for escaping. When will I be able to travel a thousand miles, or even ten thousand miles, in one step?"

Lin Baijing rested for a while before jumping out of the deep pool.

He picked a peach blossom and put it on his head, then set off.

We took the route through the valley and rode non-stop to the agreed place.

As soon as we arrived, we saw the big tree where we used to drink. Looking around, we saw that there were already arrays, early warning arrays, and illusion arrays.

However, Lin Bai had studied the formation so well that he could enter an empty space.

After walking a dozen steps, they saw two people sitting cross-legged in the place where the three people had drunk before, and they seemed to be discussing Taoism.

A man was wearing black clothes, with black hair tied up, and his eyes were dark and bright.

The other person was also wearing black clothes, but his clothes were particularly loose, with a lotus crown on his head and a whisk in his arms.

Both of them look to be in their teens, one is smart and cute, the other is well-behaved and lovely, like sisters.

It was Jiang Xiaobai and Miaomiao.

"Speaking of which, your master is also lucky. He went into the mountains alone to look for an opportunity to build his foundation. He happened to meet me when he was in danger, and that's how I saved his life." Jiang Xiaobai sighed, as if reminiscing.

"I have yet to repay you for your kindness, senior!" Miaomiao said immediately.

"Now that you have established your foundation, and you and Xiao Yuer can be sisters, you don't have to call me elder all the time." Jiang Xiaobai said.

"Sister!" Miaomiao said sweetly.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction. "Although you are a few years younger than Xiaoyuer, you are the first to build your foundation. You also became Lin Zhuanlun's disciple earlier, so you are his senior sister. You must take good care of Xiaoyuer in the future and don't let anyone bully her."

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely treat you as my own sister!" Miaomiao would never say the wrong thing.

The two chatted for a while and then talked about this trip into the mountains. Jiang Xiaobai taught them many ways to deal with independent cultivators and monsters. Miaomiao listened very carefully and praised Jiang Xiaobai for his knowledge from time to time.

"Master! I miss you so much!" When Miaomiao saw Lin Bai approaching, her eyes immediately turned red. She rushed forward and hugged Lin Bai's arm, as if she had experienced many life and death separations.

She always knows how to handle things.

Jiang Xiaobai stood up, nodded slightly to Lin Bai, and said no more.

Although this girl is very versatile and energetic, she only reveals her true form in the Black Tower. She is always well-behaved and kind when outside.

After chatting for a few words, I learned that the two girls had just arrived two days ago. After hastily setting up the formation, they stopped to rest.

"Has your ancestor returned?" When the small world collapsed, Lin Bai saw Jiang Xingchi's figure. It seemed that he had gotten the opportunity, but he didn't know what happened to him now.

"I'm back." Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly.

Lin Bai felt relieved, and looked at Miaomiao again, smiling and asking, "How did you build your foundation? Tell me in detail how."

Miaomiao is Lin Bai's first disciple and the daughter of an old friend, so he has always treated her as his own daughter. Lin Bai naturally cares about her very much.

"Master! There's no rush to discuss this! You guys should focus on your work!" Miaomiao made a point. "Although there is a formation here, it's leaky on all sides. It's not a good place to discuss matters!" She pointed to the cave entrance. "Why don't we discuss it inside the cave? I've already cleaned it up!"

Miaomiao patted her chest and said, "I'm guarding the door outside! I won't let anyone disturb the peace!"

Lin Jiang and the other person glanced at Miaomiao, then looked at each other, and nodded.

After entering the cave and closing the door, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and sighed, "When will I have such a considerate disciple?"

"Did she get into trouble when she was building her foundation?" Lin Bai could see something was wrong.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and nodded.
