The Wheel-Turning Master.

When we arrived at Yunyao Mountain, a group of people were already waiting there, and all we saw were familiar faces.

This time, we traveled to the Northern Wilderness to investigate, as it concerns the survival of Zhou Hui Mountain.

Therefore, Yang, Gu, Jiang and Meng, who founded the Zhouhui School, naturally needed to produce people.

The Jiang family selected the generals Wumuqian and Lei Yinmu, Meng Yiwei from Meng Shanhe of Black Wind Mountain, Lin Bai from the Gu family, and Yang Shaoan from the Yang family.

There are also Pei Ning, who came from Daoyin Sect; Gao Yuanyuan came from Yunxia Sect, Lu Jiuyao came from Jiuyin Mountain, Qi Hongyun came from Guyang Sect, Zhu Shuang came from Tianhuo City, and Shi Qingshuang came from Shi Family.

These people were all from the surviving Yuanying sects, and now they were considered Zhou Huishan's people. However, after all, the time was too short, so Jiang Xingchi even asked for the opinions of the various sects, and it was considered a decision.

Anyway, I used to use the Nascent Soul vigorously, and now I use the Golden Elixir, which is used to cause trouble and never let me have any rest.

There are eleven golden elixirs in total, one more than the original ten, because there is one extra person, Jiang Xingchi.

"It's difficult for you, and it's difficult for Master too." Jing Si Tui had already been subdued by Jiang Xingchi, and he defended Jiang Xingchi in every word. He also laid out the facts, "The Cheng family wanted to go too, but Master felt sorry for them and said he would definitely support Cheng Keshui to be the head of Qiaoshan. He wouldn't let them send anyone out until they had a Nascent Soul."

Jing Situi sighed continuously, "Master is kind and righteous, and Cheng Keshui was so moved that he burst into tears."

"It seems that everyone is reminiscing about the old times with the people of Qiaoshan. Why don't you remember our old times? Why don't you remember the old times of people from Jiuzhashan?" Jiuyinshan Lu Jiuyao said sadly.

No Yuanying died in Jiuyin Mountain, but a branch was divided. Now Lu Jiuyao is in charge of Dumu Mountain.

"The Tianyan Sword Sect didn't send anyone out, and neither did the Hehuan Sect, Qingxin Xuanmen, and Xuyun Sect. The master even sent two people specially, and even sent his own disciples!" Jing Situi sighed continuously, "We have taken care of the several Nascent Soul predecessors who passed away, and divided the blessed land for the younger generations. This time, we didn't look for their descendants. Those who went were those who had Nascent Souls in their families. This is related to the survival of our Zhouhui Sect, and we should all tolerate each other as a sect."

As soon as this was said, before Lu Jiuyao said anything, he heard someone muttering something like "how can a slave of three surnames be compared with us?"

Zhu Jindan chatted for a while, and Lin Bai and Pei Ning entered first.

After waiting for another hour or so, Jing Shitui led everyone into the main hall. There were two Yuanyings, Jiang Xingchi and Du Jueming, but Lin Pei and the other one were nowhere to be seen.

Du Jueming looked calm and composed. He did not show any sign of cowardice like the long-legged fairy. Instead, he looked extremely relaxed.

Jiang Xingchi stroked his beard and smiled, looking kind and benevolent. With a smile, he asked Shi Qingyu to distribute a simple map of the Northern Wilderness, and then began to give some instructions.

Anyway, most of it was nonsense, about how the investigation was the most important thing this time, safety was the most important, and they should try to avoid disputes as much as possible.

Of course, considering the dangers of the road, we also need to help each other. If you really can't hold on, you can turn back and not force yourself to risk your life.

Zhu Jindan didn't say anything, thinking that if they don't force him to work hard, then why not just not let him go!

After talking for a long time, everyone felt tired after listening to Jiang Xingchi's polite words.

Then Du Jueming said a few more words, saying that if you obey my orders, I will not let you suffer any harm.

Everyone still believed in Jiang Xingchi's words. Although Jiang Xingchi was used to making people fight for their lives, he was also very honest when it came to dividing the fruits.

But Du Jueming was different. He used to run away when fighting before, but who knows if he would not run away this time? He worked hard to earn the title of the Long-legged Fairy!
After a day of commotion, the flying boat set off and headed northwest along the same path it had taken on the pond.

This was the route that the Tianwen Sect took to the south, passing through the territories of several Yuanying monsters along the way. These monsters rarely interacted with humans, and their intelligence could not be compared with Li Chenyu, so most of them still acted according to the instincts of wild beasts.

So although it was a little dangerous, they were used to it. Moreover, the lifespan of monsters was long and they never left their nests, so there shouldn't be any big changes along the way. At most, the Jindan level monsters would change their territories. If they were careful, there wouldn't be much trouble.

The flying boat went farther and farther away, and Du Jueming stayed in the cabin without saying a word.

Jiang Xingchi came specially to see him off and stayed by his side.

"Brother Du, the ancestor said that when you come back this time, you can continue to stay in Zhouhui Mountain and be taught by the ancestor; if you don't want to, you can also return to Jiuzha Mountain to become the head of a sect. If you want to make further progress in the future, you can also go to Wanshou Mountain." Jiang Xingchi comforted him.

Du Jueming didn't even look at Jiang Xingchi, and just said, "What else can I say?"

"This trip is also for the sake of my millions of fellow Taoists in the East China Sea, and even more for the sake of you and me." Jiang Xingchi said these polite words.

"I shouldn't have been bewitched by you and participated in the Northern Expedition. Taoist Lihuo is dead, Old Yan is also dead, and those left in my hometown are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and they won't live long..." Du Jueming revealed his true feelings, and there was a lot of sadness in his words.

"How do you know that new branches can't grow from an old tree? Besides, Brother Du is still young. He will need to seek guidance from the ancestor in the future. There is hope for a bright future." Jiang Xingchi said with a smile.

Du Jueming did not respond.

The flying boat was travelling very fast, and after five days, they saw a mountain towering into the clouds ahead, stretching for an unknown number of miles.

Clouds rolled over the mountains, bringing a slight chilly breeze.

As the flying boat rose higher and passed over the mountains, it began to feel chilly and the wind was extremely strong.

"How does the wind here compare to that in the thousands of ravines of sand?" Du Jueming stood on the deck with a serious look on his face.

"It's the same as the Thousand Valleys Sand Land. But the wind in the deepest part of the Thousand Valleys Sand Land is three times stronger than here."

Du Jueming opened his mouth but said nothing.

The flying boat passed over the mountains and then descended, traveling more than ten feet above the ground. This time, the wind was stronger the higher it went, and secondly, there were cloud beasts running in the sky.

"I'll take you here." Jiang Xingchi was unwilling to go any further.

“…” Du Jueming was stunned for a long time and finally nodded.

A group of Jindan came over to say goodbye, especially Wumu Qian, who was reluctant to leave and grabbed Jiang Xingchi's sleeve with tears in his eyes.

"Wu Muqian has only been your disciple for ten years, but I never thought that the relationship between master and disciple is so deep." At this point, Du Jueming was not afraid of anything and even laughed out loud.

Jiang Xingchi nodded slightly and said, "Just treat it with sincerity."

Zhu Jindan looked on, and no one said anything.

"Master," Wu Muqian wiped his tears and asked, "Why can't I see Lin Zhuanlun and Pei Ning? Lin Zhuanlun promised me that he would go to the Northern Wasteland together."

Jiang Xingchi lovingly touched Wu Muqian's head and said, "Everything depends on yourself. How can you accomplish anything if you rely solely on the Lin Zhuanlun?"

"..." Wu Muqian was stunned and said timidly: "Then he...he is not going? As expected...Ancestor Gu still gave up..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Xingchi immediately interrupted Wu Muqian and said in a deep voice: "Fairy Chen Yu knows another way and went to send Lin Zhuanlun and Pei Ning away."

"This..." Wu Muqian was stunned. He murmured, "Master doesn't allow me to rely on Lin Zhuanlun, so how can Lin Zhuanlun rely on the fairy?"

"He was the first to gain the ability, so Fairy Chenyu promoted him. Don't get the basics wrong." Jiang Xingchi said.

"Then...how did the fairy know that there was another way?" Wu Muqian did not give up.

"The master who once enlightened the fairy has a very important background, so this may be the reason." Jiang Xingchi did not hide it.

Wu Muqian said nothing and walked into the cabin in a daze.

"I don't know how Brother Wu Mu will scold me!" At this time, thousands of miles away, on the same snowy field, Lin Bai and Pei Ning were walking side by side.

The path the two of them were taking was exactly the route that Sister Zhen had left behind when they parted.

But even with the map in hand, all I could see were snow-capped mountains. The wind had been blowing here for who knows how many years, and it didn't blow in one direction, but back and forth, almost blocking the road in front of me.

The mountains were covered with countless frozen snow and ice. Wherever we stepped on the road, there was thick snow and ice, and it was still snowing.

"I have to go back!" A green light came and landed in Lin Bai's arms.

"Fairy, you're here now." Lin Bai said.

"Yes!" Pei Ning also said.

"I am at a critical stage in my cultivation now, I cannot leave!" The fox shook his head repeatedly, "If it weren't for Xiuxiu, I wouldn't even bother to send you two off! Besides, I am a wild fox in the forest, not a snow fox, so I can't stand the cold."

She made up an excuse, threw out two fox tail hairs, and ran back to Zhou and the mountain.

Lin Bai did not ask for anything more, and he and Pei Ning walked towards the northwest, one in front and one behind.

The route left by Sister Zhen was extremely simple, and this place was all white, so it was impossible to be too careful. We could only refer to the terrain of the mountain to determine the direction of travel.

The two did not dare to fly too high in the air, and just walked and stopped, correcting the direction.

There wasn't much danger along the way. They encountered many different kinds of monsters, but there were only three in the Jindan realm, so the two of them avoided them.

Some of the other monsters were mostly confused, and Lin Pei did not dare to release the aura of the golden elixir. Some monsters deliberately came forward to investigate, not because they were looking for trouble, but because they were simply curious.

After more than a month, they found a cave along the way. They went in to rest for a while and saw the mark left by Sister Zhen.

The cave was deep and warm. Exploring further inside, we saw various skeletons of people and animals. At the deepest part, we found a white bear monster.

After defeating the monster, Lin Pei and the others continued on their journey.

They went through twists and turns, and protected each other by seeking good fortune and avoiding danger, but they also experienced two major battles. However, they were all Jindan realm monsters, and they did not offend any Yuanying realm monsters.

Three months later, we finally walked out of the mountains and saw the endless white snowfield.

Going another ten thousand miles ahead, you will reach the area of ​​Wanli Lake.

Wanli Lake is located in the south of the Northern Wilderness. The lake is thousands of miles wide and is covered with ice and snow all year round. There are many small islands, where many monks and ordinary people live.

There is a Yuanying sect in the north of Wanli Lake, but it has long since declined, and now only two Yuanyings are left to support it.

Because the spiritual land here is not of high quality and seems desolate, it is common for no living beings to be seen within three to five hundred miles.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning chose a place to restore their energy, then moved forward again, stepping on the ice and snow on the lake, and saw a foundation-building family on a small island.

"I wonder why the two seniors have come to my humble place?" The head of the Foundation Establishment family was an old man in the Foundation Establishment stage. Upon seeing the two Golden Cores coming to his house, he was polite but a little wary.

Lin Bai didn't try to get close to the man. He just asked about the local geography and customs with a cold face and then left.

After that, sects and families could be seen from time to time, but most of them were small sects, each with its own affiliation.

Most people here wear animal skins, which may be a habit brought from the mortal world. Some also wear Taoist robes, the style and patterns of which are very different from those in the East Sea.

Moreover, this place is not suitable for farming, and spiritual plants that can grow in ice and snow are rare. Most of them dig ice into the lake to catch various fish. Because of this, the monks are mostly aggressive in fighting for territory, and Lin Pei and his companions encountered several fights on the way.

But this is a small sect after all, which doesn’t mean much. It is not easy for small sects in the East China Sea to survive.

This place is remote, and many cultivators have heard of the name of Tianwen Sect. They know that it is a large sect, and they have also heard that it has suffered a disaster, but they do not know the specific circumstances.

"The mountains are high and the gods are far away. We are all poor and remote people. It is normal that we don't know. But I believe that the Jindan Sect must know something, and the Yuanying Sect must have been paying attention to it."

Lin Bai discussed with Pei Ning for a while and decided to go to Qiu Shui Sword Sect.

The Qiushui Sword Sect is a Nascent Soul Sect with two Nascent Souls in charge, and has always been the master of Wanli Lake. However, I heard that it has declined in recent years, and a new sect called Yuxin Yiyi Sect has been established in the north, and the two sects are competing with each other.

Continue walking slowly toward the northwest, and after ten days, you will see a towering city.

I saw a high wall made of ice that seemed to pierce through the clouds. It was long for hundreds of miles, with the mountains as walls in between and faint ripples of magic circles, making it even more majestic.

This city is located in the north of Wanli Lake and is called Tiangong City. It is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The outer city is built on Wanli Lake, and the inner city is on a large island and is the ancestral home of the Qiushui Sword Sect.

When we arrived at the city gate, people wouldn't let us in.

Lin Bai had inquired about it before coming here. Tiangong City is divided into inner and outer cities. The outer city is open to everyone and is the most prosperous city in this vast area.

There was no other way, so Lin Bai took out the spirit stone to clear the way. After asking the guards carefully, he found out that the Qiushui Sword Sect and the Yuxin Yiyi Sect had been fighting too fiercely recently. In addition, someone broke into the inner city three days ago, so martial law was imposed.

"If you two really want to enter the city, just wait for five or six days." The foundation-building guard wore a long sword on his waist, a fur hat, and threw the spiritual stone given by Lin Bai in his hand. He laughed softly and said, "If you two are in a hurry to enter the city, I... hehe, have some ways."

The gatekeepers are all the same, they all cost money! This is what the pheasants at the Dream Lake are like!
There was no other way, and he didn't dare to force his way in. Just as Lin Bai was about to negotiate the price, he saw a man walking out of the wide city gate.

The man was wearing a loose Taoist robe and waving a folding fan in his hand, looking elegant and unrestrained.

It has a restrained scent and a light herbal aroma.

The man walked out of the city gate waving a folding fan. When he looked up and saw Lin Pei, he was stunned for a moment, then pretended not to know him and made an expression as if he had suddenly realized something, "I forgot my things in the city!" He tapped his palms with the folding fan and was about to turn back to the city.

"Could it be that I recognized the wrong person? Fairy Lu clearly told me to come here to look for her." Lin Bai sighed.

Sure enough, the man stopped, hesitated for a while, ran out, and glared at Lin Bai.

"Brother Yao." Lin Bai said with a smile.

He Wenyao had a strange look on his face and didn't say anything. He grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and walked out.

When they came to a deserted place, He Wenyao stopped, stared into Lin Bai's eyes, and said, "You are deceiving me again. The fairy will never reveal my whereabouts!"

After he said this, he saw Lin Bai had a calm smile on his face, so he got angry and asked, "How did you find the fairy?"

"The fairy and I know each other and are close friends. How can we not have a way to communicate?" Lin Bai laughed and talked nonsense.

He Wenyao believed it. There was some sadness on his face and his eyes were red. Finally, he pointed at Lin Bai and said angrily: "I have worked hard to protect her for decades, but she never let me touch her hand. Now that you are here... I am living here with the fairy and starting a new life. Why are you here again?"

What was this man thinking? Lin Bai was shocked. He Wenyao really underestimated him and thought he was facing a pervert!

Lin Bai looked at Pei Ning again, and they had a mutual understanding. What she meant was clearly: It shows that you are famous!

He Wenyao pointed at Lin Bai for a long time, too angry to say a word. Then he pointed at Pei Ning and said angrily, "Pei Ning! Why don't you take care of Lin Zhuanlun?"

Pei Ning crossed his arms and said, "It's going to rain, and my mother wants her family, how can I care?"

"..." He Wenyao seemed to have been hit. He took two steps back, then stood up again tremblingly. The sadness on his face slowly faded away. He just looked at Lin Bai like a walking corpse and said, "Her injury is not healed yet. You...you didn't bully her too much, did you?"

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were stunned. They looked at each other and had a huge question in their mind: How could this fellow be so virtuous after forming a pill? How did he form a pill? (End of this chapter)
