The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 290 Accepting a Disciple
The four did not dare to stay for long, and came out from under the Endless River and headed southeast.

There were patrolling disciples who stopped the way, but Li Wusheng was a disciple of the Lord of Jiuzha Mountain, so no one dared to come up and ask him anything.

Lin Bai, Mu Zhen and Mo Yingcheng were not too panicked, but Li Wusheng was anxious.

Li Wusheng hurriedly left the Jiuzha Mountain area and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no pursuers.

It didn't seem like Lin Mu and the other two had killed anyone, but rather like Li Wusheng had killed and robbed someone.

"It's safe here. As long as the ancestors in the sect don't come to chase you, you will be fine." Li Wusheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Judging from the accent, it is obvious that he believes that Lin Mu and the other two are not clean.

"Jing Shitui has always been upright and has the demeanor of an elder. He is definitely not someone who goes back on his word. You don't need to worry about it." Mo Yingcheng comforted Li Wusheng.

"That's why I'm afraid of my eldest brother!" Li Wusheng sighed, "He's more like a father than my master!"

Perhaps because of the word "Dad", Li Wusheng glanced at Lin Bai and curled his lips, as if dissatisfied.

Lin Bai and Mu Zhen bowed to Li Wusheng without saying much.

Although Sister Zhen had said that there was another way to escape, Lin Bai was sure that it was something similar to the fox tail hair from the past, and it might be even more precious than the fox tail hair. After all, Sister Zhen also said that she could escape from the hands of the Nascent Soul.

But it would be better if you could get out peacefully without the secret treasure.

But in the end, he still owed a favor. Li Wusheng helped to speak up, Bi Huanqiu tried to smooth things over, and Mo Yingcheng even brought up the face of Chen Tianren from the Daoyin Sect.

Although rescuing the injured comes first, this friendship must be acknowledged.

Moreover, when they were about to fall out, the eldest senior brother Jing Si Tui rejected the opposition and let Lin Mu and the other two leave, and designated Li Wusheng to see them off, which clearly meant to escort them.

Killing someone's direct descendant on someone else's territory, although the situation is different in the secret realm, it can indeed be justified if the other party is entangled.

But they didn't care much and let him go. Of course, they took into account Chen Tianren, Fox, and the face of Qiaoshan Gu. But no matter what, they let him go and even asked someone to escort him. It was a good relationship, and there should be rewards in the future.

"Alright." Li Wusheng waved his hand and looked at Lin Mu and the others, "We are out of the Jiuzha Mountain area, you should leave quickly."

"Senior Sister, do you know Lu Qingyin?" Lin Bai was not in a hurry to leave. He also admired Jing Shitui very much and was sure that he would not go back on his word and chase after her.

I didn't feel any sense of good or bad, and it was just a matter of a few words anyway.

Previously, Lu Qingyin formed the elixir in the Wuxiang Tomb, and then Lin Bai parted with her. At that time, she said that the East China Sea was a deadly place and she wanted to go west.

Later, I heard from others that I had seen He Wenyao at Jiuzha Mountain, and that He Wenyao said that it was Lin Bai who killed Yue Fengshu.

After that, there was no news from her, but when he heard He Bingde mention Lu Qingyin's name in the secret realm, Lin Bai wanted to find out more about her.

"Lu Qingyin?" Li Wusheng frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I think I've heard of it."

"Then you have to think about it carefully." Mu Zhen couldn't help laughing, "This is about Lin Zhuanlun's old lover."

"Is that so..." Li Wusheng really became serious. He looked Lin Bai up and down, then looked at Mo Yingcheng and said, "Don't learn from him."

"..." Mo Yingcheng didn't expect that the fire at the city gate would affect innocent people. He shook his head speechlessly.

"Senior sister, don't believe what others say. The truth is that Lu Qingyin and I have a grudge against each other." Lin Bai explained.

"Oh." Li Wusheng looked like she just didn't believe it. She stroked her chin and thought for a while, then said, "I've heard of this person's name. It seems like he had contact with Senior Brother Ying a few years ago. He said he wanted to buy something, but I haven't heard of him since then."

This was within Lin Bai's expectations. Although Lu Qingyin was famous in the three places of Qiaoshan, she was famous for her foundation-building body after all, and she was too far away from Jiuzha Mountain, so she would not attract the attention of Jiuzha Mountain Jindan at all.

It’s normal that no one recognizes it and no one pays attention to it.

"Sister, if you have any more news about her, please write to me." Lin Bai said.

"It's not a big deal, so there's no problem." Li Wusheng agreed immediately, and then advised: "Brother Zhuanlun, I know you are capable, but don't be greedy."

"..." Lin Bai was overwhelmed and could only nod in agreement.

Seeing that Lin Mu and the other two had no more nonsense to say, Mo Yingcheng then held Li Wusheng's hand, full of affection. "I'll come to see you later."

They just thought Lin Mu and the other two were stones.

Li Wusheng nodded shyly and said, "Okay."

Lin Bai and Mu Zhen looked at each other, both speechless.

After a moment of affectionate glance, Mo Yingcheng reluctantly said goodbye to Li Wusheng.

"Keep a close eye on him for me!" Before leaving, Li Wusheng did not forget to send a message to Lin Bai in the tone of an empress.

"..." Lin Bai really had no temper.

After bidding farewell to Li Wusheng, Mo Yingcheng took Lin Bai and Mu Zhen and headed southeast together.

There were four of them when they came, including Wang Qixiu, but now there are only three of them on their way back.

Previously, he set out from Daoyin Sect and lingered in Jiuzha Mountain for more than a month before entering the secret realm. After that, he experienced several ups and downs in the secret realm, and another month passed.

However, after being away for more than two months, Lin Bai had achieved this result, and he was extremely satisfied.

The three of them did not stop and headed for Daoyin Sect. It took only two hours to reach the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

When they arrived in front of the main hall of Daoyin Sect, disciples came forward to pay their respects.

It was none other than Dugu Yan.

"Where is Master now?" Mo Yingcheng asked.

"The master is meditating in the old place. He said that if the eldest brother comes back, we can go directly to find him." Dugu Yan answered honestly.

Mo Yingcheng nodded, without asking any more questions, and took Lin Bai and Mu Zhen to the side hall.

Dugu Yan served tea and stood behind Mo Yingcheng.

"The trip to Jiuzha Mountain is over. What are your plans, Junior Sister Mu?" Mo Yingcheng knew that Mu Zhen had a mysterious origin and did not rely solely on the wood demon, so he guessed that she would not stay long.

But after spending a long time together, Mo Yingcheng naturally saw that Mu Zhen was quite capable, so he was willing to make more friends with her. Although Daoyin Sect is a Yuanying Sect, it only has one Yuanying Chen Tianren to support it. Its foundation is too shallow, so it would be good to make a good relationship with him and get some help.

"The trip to Jiuzha Mountain was just a coincidence. I plan to travel again and go north." Mu Zhen did not hide it. She had already told Lin Bai about it.

"Heading north?" Mo Yingcheng nodded slightly. "Are you heading to Qiaoshan with Junior Brother Zhuanlun?"

"Qiaoshan is further north. But of course we have to go to Qiaoshan to take a look." Mu Zhen looked at Lin Bai and said, "I heard that Lin Zhuanlun has two talented disciples. I envy them so much."

"He is just an unfilial disciple." Lin Bai waved his hand, and he really missed his two disciples. "Further north is a war-torn area." Mo Yingcheng was familiar with the geography and customs. "Golden Cores are fighting in chaos, foundation building and Qi training cultivators are fighting in an army, and Yuanying cultivators are fighting in person. It is not a good place."

"Since you have traveled around and seen peaceful and kind places, it's time to see some different scenery." Mu Zhen said with a smile.

Seeing that Mu Zhen was unwilling to tell the truth, Mo Yingcheng did not ask any further questions. He guessed that it might be related to the person behind her, or maybe the mission.

"Where is my dear brother Zhuanlun?" Mo Yingcheng looked at Lin Bai again, and Dugu Yan behind him also lowered his head to look at him.

"After the matter here is settled, I also plan to go back to Qiaoshan." Lin Bai answered honestly.

"We have only been together for a few days, and we have to part ways." Mo Yingcheng smiled and said, "But even if my dear brother Zhuanlun leaves, does Pei Ning want to follow him?"

"She is devoted to practicing sword skills and may not want to leave. I will go and ask her again." Lin Bai couldn't make sense of Sister Pei, so he could only persuade her.

"She is good friends with Junior Sister Min, and has a lot of contact with Yan'er. I think she really wants to stay here." Mo Yingcheng smiled and pointed at Dugu Yan behind him, and asked, "Have you ever fought with Pei Ning recently?"

"..." Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, her face flushed and she lowered her head, and replied: "Brother, I have never dueled with Pei Ning again."

"You can't keep up with her." Mo Yingcheng sighed, looked at Dugu Yan, and said, "You should practice diligently in the future. Don't learn from Min Hengbo to randomly challenge others. It will inevitably hurt your state of mind. Master is also a sword cultivator, but he rarely fights. You must understand this principle."

"Yes." Dugu Yan responded pitifully, and then looked at Lin Bai with resentment.

Mo Yingcheng looked at Lin Bai again and said with a smile: "It's good for Pei Ning to stay here. She is a sword cultivator, and there are many sword cultivators in our sect. It's just right for her to practice from time to time, which will be of great help."

Dugu Yan was stunned when she heard that. She had just been taught that sword practitioners should not fight all the time as it would hurt their state of mind. But for Pei Ning, fighting all the time would be helpful?
"Thank you for your care, senior brother." Lin Bai replied with a smile.

Seeing that Lin Bai agreed to let Pei Ning stay, Mo Yingcheng seemed relieved and said with a smile: "As soon as Fang comes back, you two might as well take a few days to rest."

After chatting for a while, Mo Yingcheng pulled Dugu Yan over and asked her to take Lin Mu and the other two to Yushan Mountain to rest.

After seeing Lin Bai and Mu Zhen off, Mo Yingcheng sat for a while before heading southeast of the hall.

After walking for more than ten miles, we came to a low mountain. It was lush and green, with a narrow mountain gate hidden in it. The spiritual land was of average quality, only upper-middle third grade.

This is the old site of Tiejianmen. Chen Zhiyuan came from Tiejianmen in the past.

Afterwards, Tiejianmen declined and was conquered by others. After that, Chen Tianren left. Although he gained power later, he did not restore the Tiejianmen mountain gate. Instead, he reconciled the chaos in the area and founded the Daoyin Sect.

The spiritual land here is not of high quality and is not suitable for Nascent Soul cultivation. However, because of his deep attachment to the place, Chen Tianren always likes to come here and sit for a while.

Mo Yingcheng arrived in front of a dilapidated courtyard and pushed open the door.

Outsiders said that this courtyard was the place where Chen Tianren preached in the past. In fact, Mo Yingcheng knew that there was nothing magical about this broken courtyard. It was just that the master had swept the floor here for decades before he became enlightened, and he really had developed feelings for it.

When I entered the yard, I saw that it was clean and tidy, with an incense burner in the yard, peach trees on both sides, and a reclining chair under the tree, where an old man was lying with his eyes closed.

"Teacher." Mo Yingcheng closed the door, walked forward, moved a small wooden stool and sat next to him, without any of the usual formalities and bows.

"Are you back?" Chen Zhiyuan opened his eyes and looked at Mo Yingcheng, then closed his eyes, then opened his eyes again, sat up suddenly, and stared at Mo Yingcheng.

"..." Mo Yingcheng did not say anything either. As the eldest disciple of the Daoyin Sect, he always acted on behalf of his master. He traveled to many places and met many Nascent Soul cultivators. It can be said that everyone of them looked like a Nascent Soul cultivator. Only his master did not look like a Nascent Soul cultivator. His temperament and demeanor did not look like one either. Instead, he looked like a little old man among the mortal world.

But because of this, Mo Yingcheng felt that his master had truly returned to his original nature.

"Such a domineering intention, but also close to the Tao." Chen Zhiyuan looked at Mo Yingcheng, feeling it carefully, and said: "It seems that this trip was not in vain. After all, it is not just about the love affair."

"..." Mo Yingcheng replied honestly: "I have too many doubts on this trip, and I want to ask Master."

"Tell me what you want to say." Chen Zhiyuan didn't lie down either. He turned his legs over, sat cross-legged, and looked like he was listening attentively.

Mo Yingcheng immediately told the truth, first saying that he was trapped in the secret realm of the chessboard trial, then how the Taoist Wuxiang suppressed the sword intent, and when he went up the mountain to seek the way, he was injured by the sword intent, and finally how Lin Zhuanlun rescued him.

“No wonder.” Chen Tianren sighed after hearing this and said, “If the sword intent had not been suppressed by Taoist Wuxiang for a long time and its power had not been lost, you would have been killed long ago. Taoist Lihuo would have been killed too!”

"In your opinion, what kind of person can make such a slash?" Mo Yingcheng asked curiously.

"How should I know?" Chen Zhiyuan shook his head. "Since the death of Taoist Master Wuxiang, the East China Sea has become increasingly barren. Xiang Wuhui has tried his best to achieve the state of transformation, but he still can't. There is no one to ask for information."

"Xiang Wuhui is not going to succeed, Master will always have a chance." Mo Yingcheng leaned forward, "I still have some residual sword intent in my body, Master, you may as well try to comprehend it. If you gain something, it will be of great help!"

"No." Chen Zhiyuan rejected it immediately, smiled and looked at Mo Yingcheng, and said: "My generation of sword cultivators often only cultivate one sword intent. People with extraordinary talents may be able to comprehend more, but they also need to understand the principles of harmony and compatibility. For example, you mentioned Lin Zhuanlun, he imitated my sword intent and realized the burning silence of earth and fire. It seems extraordinary, but it is actually a temporary achievement. He still has to choose a path by himself, either in the middle or late stage of the Golden Core Realm. Or after achieving the Yuanying Realm, he can find a method that suits him."

Chen Zhiyuan was quite emotional, and continued: "As for this senior's sword, the meaning of destruction is too strong. Maybe he first cut off his own lifespan, and then cut off his own cultivation, so that he could make this sword. Or maybe he is so powerful that he can strike at will."

Chen Zhiyuan pointed to the peach tree beside him and continued, "Your master's path has long been determined. The method and nature of cultivation have also long been determined. It is impossible to imitate the sword intent of the master."

"Quality is more important than quantity. Master's path is naturally the road to heaven." Mo Yingcheng said with a smile.

Seeing his eldest disciple flattering him, Chen Zhiyuan also smiled happily and said, "Since Lin Zhuanlun was able to remove the sword intent for you, it must be because he got the opportunity."

"That's right." Mo Yingcheng also guessed so.

Chen Zhiyuan stroked his goatee, frowned in thought for a while, and said, "Gu Qingshui is really lucky."

"That's not necessarily true." Mo Yingcheng immediately smiled confidently and whispered, "Master, why don't you accept Lin Zhuanlun's Taoist partner as your disciple?"

"Lin Zhuanlun's Taoist partner? The little girl from Qiaoshan?" Chen Zhiyuan thought for a while and finally remembered who it was.

"That's right, her name is Pei Ning, her natal sword tomb, she practices the method of group swords, and her talent is extremely high."

Mo Yingcheng massaged Chen Zhiyuan's back and continued, "Master, I have no chance to practice swordsmanship, Rong Ding practices alchemy, Junior Sister Min practices swordsmanship but knows how to advance but not retreat, and the fourth one is trapped by love. As for the others, there is no need to say more. Pei Ning may go further in swordsmanship."

Chen Zhiyuan nodded, "What you said makes sense, just go ahead and do it. If they don't want to, don't force them."

"Yes!" Mo Yingcheng responded happily, stood up, bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Zhiyuan.

"Go out for a while and see what that little girl from Jiuzhashan said?" Chen Zhiyuan asked with concern.

"Wu Sheng..." Mo Yingcheng blushed a little, "She is naturally very nice, and she even asked me to say hello to Master."

"Why don't you bring her back?" Chen Zhiyuan urged, "You'll just sleep with her and not care about her anymore? She's sensible and good-looking, she's more than enough for you!"

"This is not the case." Mo Yingcheng said embarrassedly.

"How about this, I'll go find Taoist Lihuo some other day and do him a favor. I have to get the person over here." Chen Zhiyuan was very serious.

"Master, I'm afraid it's not going to work." Mo Yingcheng sighed, looking helpless, "There is hope for the Silent Path, but Jiuzha Mountain may not let us go."

"Then... can we marry into the family? This is how ordinary people act, so we don't have to worry about our reputation." Chen Zhiyuan asked cautiously, obviously worried about embarrassing his beloved disciple.

“……”Mo Yingcheng was shocked.
