The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 261 Departure
The calamity clouds were still thick, with faint thunder and lightning surging in between, but the thunder was no longer gathering, as if it had finished venting.

After a while, the calamity clouds slowly dissipated, and colorful clouds appeared in the distance.

On the stone plate, Lin Bai sat cross-legged and rested.

The nine levels of thunder tribulation have passed, the golden elixir has condensed, and he has made further progress on the great path since then, and his life span has reached 500 years.

Looking around, the outer fog is more condensed, with countless stars in it. The fog is more deeply connected to my life, as if I could use it at my fingertips.

With a thought, the mountains and waters here turned into Gu Qingshui's Water Curtain Cave Dojo, and every detail was revealed. Gu Qingshui sat cross-legged, his face cold and his body thin.

He moved again, and the stone tablet appeared in his hand, but it did not cause any more unusual movements.

Looking at the stone plate again, it seemed to be slowly rotating, and many of the cracks in it had disappeared.

This time the thunder was so fierce that Lin Bai was seriously injured, but it was useless as he kept holding on to the chain given by Aunt Gu.

It’s not that I feel sad, but in the end, it’s no longer needed.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai looked at a streak of green outside the mist.

He stretched out his hand and took it. One end of the emerald green silk thread fell into his palm, while the other end was outside the mist, stretching to an unknown place.

If you close your eyes and feel it for a while, you will feel that the green silk thread is like water, but there is an endless meaning in it.

"The meaning of drawing endless water?" Only now did Lin Bai understand a little bit about Aunt Gu.

I continued to feel it in my heart. The green silk thread trembled slightly, as if carrying me across countless mountains and rivers through time, and then I saw a cave.

There was a curtain of water falling at the entrance of the cave, and there was a gurgling spring in the cave. A woman was sitting cross-legged in meditation. It was Gu Qingshui.

"He did have affairs with many women, but he was not a swindler, nor was he ignorant of reason. He was also very filial to me, and although he was flattering, he did not have any lustful intentions towards me. I know you are worried that Xiuxiu would be touched by him, but there is no need to talk about others behind their backs." Gu Qingshui said to the fox on the side.

"Alas, I didn't listen to the wild fox and now I'm suffering!" the fox grumbled.

Lin Bai was about to take another look when he felt the stone plate vibrate and a sharp pain in his sea of ​​consciousness.

This is a magical power he gained when he was going through the thunder tribulation, but his wounds have not healed yet, and he is spying on two Nascent Souls, so it is naturally difficult for him to last long.

"The stinky fox is talking bad about me behind my back again!"

Lin Bai cursed non-stop, "How dare you say that I covet Patriarch Gu? This fox has really poisonous eyes!"

After mumbling for a while, Lin Bai opened his eyes.

His body was charred black, his clothes were gone, and the wounds were slowly healing, with flashes of lightning still passing by.

The golden elixir in the sea of ​​qi slowly turned black and white. The spiritual power was more than ten times that of the foundation-building period, and his skin, tendons, bones, and even his internal organs felt like he had been reborn.

"With the foundation of the Twelve Transformations of the Primordial Chaos, this time I am baptized by the thunder tribulation, and my body is more harmonious and natural, and my skin texture has changed both inside and outside."

Brushing off the burnt dirt on his body and changing into a clean Taoist robe, Lin Bai looked at the things in front of him.

The boat obtained from Lu Haike had a crack and was charred inside.

"Find someone to repair it and give it to Jiang Yu to protect herself. Her zodiac sign is a fish in the water. Fish are underwater, and boats are above the water, which is quite fitting."

The broken wood, which was also obtained from Lu Haike but belonged to Gu Yao, was also charred and had lightning patterns on it.

"I have become a lightning-struck tree. I wonder how Gu Yao will thank me."

Looking at the gourd that had been struck by two thunderbolts, there was no change, except that the black and white color became more obvious. Holding it in the hand, there was a faint tingling sensation, and the power of the thunderbolts it had absorbed had not yet dissipated.

This thing is the one that has done the most good this time. Lin Bai plans to ask Aunt Gu and the fox to refine it into a magic weapon.

After thinking for a while, he realized that the injuries on his body were healing very slowly and his breathing was still unstable.

"Master." Miaomiao and Jiang Yu stepped forward and knelt down.

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

"Grandmaster Gu once said that Master has just obtained the golden elixir, so he needs to stabilize his state of mind, so he should practice in peace here." Miaomiao said.

"Where is your master's wife?" Lin Bai glanced at the auspicious clouds in the distance. He thought Xiuxiu should come to congratulate him, but he didn't know where she went.

I just spied Fox talking to Aunt Gu, but didn't see any trace of Xiuxiu.

"Master's wife said it's inconvenient to disturb her." Miaomiao said.

"Where did you go?" Lin Bai asked.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looked at each other and said, "Master's wife said that the scenery of Qiaoshan is very beautiful, so we asked Gu Yao to lead the way for a tour."

That means I have to go find Sister Huanhuan, and I'm afraid I have to say hello to Jiang Xiaobai.

"You two go and keep an eye on her." Lin Bai chased them away, then pulled Jiang Yu back and warned, "Don't let your sister bully her."

"..." Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that with the fairy protecting her, who would dare to bully her? Even if she was bullied, wouldn't the fairy come to her house and scold her for a long time? But Jiang Yu listened to her master the most, so she nodded quickly.

After the two disciples left, the place became quiet again.

This was originally Gu Jiuzhong's Taoist temple, but now it has been cut down by five or six feet, and the original rocks and strange trees are nowhere to be seen.

There was only strong wind howling, just like before.

Lin Bai looked at the colorful clouds in the sky for a while, then closed his eyes again.

Come to the stone plate and sit quietly to recover.

The eighth thunderbolt tests one's will and is the time when one is most likely to be possessed by the devil. Thinking back to the illusion he had encountered, Lin Bai felt sad.

Living a long and free life is indeed what he wants in his heart, but having all the immortals come to congratulate him is not his real intention.

I saw Li Xinghe again in the dream, and he was occupying a stone bench all by himself. He should be at the same level as that woman, or not far away.

Of course, it could also be an illusion, because he had great respect for Li Xinghe in his heart.

"That woman must be formless."

Lin Bai tried to think about the woman's appearance at this moment, but he couldn't remember anything at all.

"People say that the eighth level of thunder can tempt the inner demons of people, which is also a kind of revelation. The coming of all the immortals is a happy event, but if we had not reached the top of the avenue, how could there be such a grand occasion?"

"It's just that Wuxiang seems to be finding fault because I, as her disciple, did not fulfill her last wish? What was the last wish? Where did her disciple go?" "Wuxiang Taoist Master? Zhuanlun Taoist Master? What is a Taoist Master?"

Lin Bai pondered for a long time but still had no clue, so he decided to ask the fox.

Although the fox was coquettish and smelly, she knew a lot. She had always kept it secret in the past, but now that she was a golden elixir, she should be able to speak some serious words to her.

There are still many things to be decided. Aunt Gu has other assignments and has promised to do something for the fox, but I don't know what they are going to do.

"Oh, it would be great if they were like Sister Huanhuan. Even if they were like Jiang Xiaobai, it would be fine. At most, I would have to work harder, but it wouldn't be dangerous."

Lin Bai sighed helplessly, and felt a little itchy in his heart. Now that he is a Jindan elder, Sister Huanhuan and Jiang Xiaobai must have benefited more.

In addition, Tie Huasheng once gave me a treasure map, and this matter has not been settled yet.

You also need to go to Daoyin Sect to meet Sister Pei.

After sorting out all the matters, Lin Bai devoted himself to meditation and consolidating his state of mind.

March passed in a flash.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Miaomiao and Jiang Yu sitting not far away, like guardians.

"In my dream, they are my guardians, just like a fox that I have tied up to guard the door."

Lin Bai took a deep breath, and his two disciples woke up in shock.

"Master!" Miaomiao was the most creative. She crawled forward on her knees and lay on Lin Bai's legs, her tone full of joy and excitement.

When she was a child, she liked to lie on Lin Bai's back when he sat cross-legged. Now she has grown up.

Jiang Yu watched Miaomiao's movements, thinking that his master still had one leg left to bend, but he couldn't do it like Miaomiao.

"What proud thing have you done?" Lin Bai stroked Miaomiao's hair.

"Hehe." Miaomiao smiled embarrassedly and muttered softly, but no one could hear what she said clearly.

Lin Bai looks at ginger fish.

Jiang Yu was the most honest person, and he immediately said, "There was a strange phenomenon after the last thunderstorm, and the colorful clouds did not disappear for seven days. Meng Yuan from Yunxia Sect brought Song Jingxian to congratulate, and my sister invited Song Jingxian to be her guest at Fengming Mountain, and she hasn't left yet."

Evil disciple! Lin Bai glared at Miaomiao and asked about Xiuxiu's condition.

The two girls quickly answered. It turned out that Xiuxiu had been wandering around recently. Because of the fox and the good relationship with Qu Ruyi, Xiuxiu naturally had a good relationship with people and had dealt with many people.

"Young Master's Wife chatted with Senior Sister Yang Huan and my sister several times, and they got along quite well. She stayed at Yang's and my homes for several days, and even went to Fengming Mountain to pay a visit to Senior Yang." Jiang Yu said seriously.

"And Gu Feixue."

Miaomiao added, "Unfortunately, Fairy Chenyu took Master's wife away not long ago."

As she spoke, Miaomiao took out a letter.

Lin Bai took it and found it was a letter from Xiuxiu. It was nothing important, just asking Lin Bai to go over there while he was free.

After asking his two disciples briefly about their cultivation, Lin Bai took them to find Gu Yao's cave.

Now that my state of mind is stable, I should first thank my master.

"Senior." Gu Yao bowed with a smile on her face, "Please." She stretched out her hand, motioning Lin Bai to stir the water in the pool himself.

Lin Bai is the perfect choice.

"The thunder tribulation you attracted that day was truly terrifying. I believe the golden elixir you have gathered is far superior to that of ordinary people." Gu Yao had envy on her face, but she still added, "Go see Feixue when you have time. She often looks at the place where you are meditating from afar."

"That's right!" Miaomiao also said.

After a few words of idle chat, the water curtain fell and wrapped up Lin Bai, just like before.

But this time the mood is different, and the feelings are also different.

Previously, Lin Bai only felt that Taoism was mysterious and there was no way to break free. But now he could feel Aunt Gu's methods and had the confidence to break free.

Of course, this was because Aunt Gu did not try her best. Although Lin Bai had achieved the Golden Elixir, he did not dare to compete with the Nascent Soul.

With one's realm reaching a higher level, one's vision will naturally be higher, and one will be able to better understand the ability to go on without turning back.

When they arrived at the Water Curtain Cave, they saw that Qingshui was not the only one there, the ancestor of the Yang family was also sitting beside them.

Lin Bai bowed and saluted, calling him "Ancestor".

Gu Qingshui was the same as usual, but the Yang family's ancestor was smiling.

"Reserved and calm, harmonious as one." Patriarch Yang pointed at Lin Bai, smiled and looked at Gu Qingshui, and said, "It does have some of the meaning of Li Chenyu when he first achieved Nascent Soul."

Li Chenyu was conceiving a baby outside, and I don’t know how Patriarch Yang could see that the two of them had similarities.

"He practices the Hunyuan Body Tempering Method, so naturally he has some compatibility with the monsters that are born and raised naturally." Gu Qingshui said.

Patriarch Yang nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Now that it's settled, you and I should make preparations early."

After saying this, Patriarch Yang smiled at Lin Bai again, then stood up and left.

Lin Bai was at a loss, not knowing what agreement he had reached with Gu Qingshui, but it didn't seem like a bad thing.

"I wonder what the old ancestor is discussing?" Lin Bai hurried forward, knelt down beside him, and began to pinch his shoulders. "Although I am weak now, at least I can help the old ancestor and relieve his worries."

Seeing that Lin Bai was still pinching her shoulders as usual, Gu Qingshui glanced at him and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Let's talk about it later."

After hearing this, Lin Bai guessed that it must be an internal matter of the Qiaoshan Sect.

"Alright." Gu Qingshui saw that Lin Bai's hands were getting hotter and hotter. He didn't want to offend a man who had just formed a pill, but he felt more and more uncomfortable, so he asked to drive him away, "Follow me!"

Gu Qingshui stood up and Lin Bai missed.

"Where are we going?" Lin Bai was still thinking about looking for Sister Huanhuan later.

"Daoyin Sect!"

After Gu Qingshui finished speaking, she flicked her green sleeves lightly. The Water Curtain Cave seemed to be covered by waves. Lin Bai entered it like a fish swimming in it.
