The Wheel-Turning Master.

Yuexiachan brought Lin Pei and the other two to seek help, but they were eventually persuaded to join the gang with just a few words.

Since he had decided to stay, Lin Bai didn't think any more about it and asked Mu Yao about Sister Zhen's whereabouts.

"That girl can't sit still. I don't know where she has gone now." The wood demon said with a smile.

Lin Bai originally thought that Sister Zhen would be able to come as well, at least to have an extra helper who knows him well, but he didn't expect that she didn't come.

There was nothing more to ask, as they still had to wait for one more person. As the younger generation, Lin Pei and the other two felt uncomfortable staying in the cave, so they came out for a walk.

After coming out from the bottom of the lake which was over a thousand feet deep, the two sat by the lake and chatted.

"Senior Chengfengzi asked some questions about the master." Pei Ning transmitted the message.

This is not surprising. Chen Tianren's sword defeated Kong Shu and his fame had spread to the Northern Wilderness.

The Nascent Soul was right under their buttocks, so the two of them didn't dare to say anything out of the ordinary and just talked nonsense.

Judging from Cheng Fengzi's demeanor, he should be the main person this time. In fact, this place was discovered by him, while Xie Qingxuan and Mu Yao are his assistants.

As for what is in the secret realm and what everyone is looking for, no one knows.

And Cheng Fengzi's words are somewhat similar to the old ancestor's demeanor. I'm afraid he is not far from achieving the state of spiritual enlightenment. He must be quite capable and be proud of it.

Lin Bai also didn't know Cheng Fengzi's origins. Zou Mi had never mentioned it beforehand, and he didn't dare to ask Yue Xia Chan.

After wandering around here and getting familiar with the terrain, I felt that the area within a radius of more than ten miles should be in a formation. The formation was mysterious and had the ability to conceal illusions and isolate detection. It was a world of its own.

There are birds singing and flowers blooming here, and the spiritual land is as high as the fourth level.

Since they had to wait for someone anyway, Lin Bai asked Pei Ning to practice meditation while he stayed by her side to guard her.

Most of the spiritual beasts here are intelligent. After a few days, snakes and deer brought spiritual flowers and rare herbs, trying to ask for elixirs; turtles and tortoises brought flowers, shells and pebbles, trying their best to please.

Seeing that the things sent by the spirit beast were mediocre, Lin Bai still distributed a lot of pills with the intention of helping others achieve enlightenment.

But these spirit beasts were ungrateful and instead demanded insatiable amounts. Lin Bai did not dare to take out the Tiger and Wolf Pills, so he pretended to give them a scolding. However, these spirit beasts were very cunning, and seeing that Lin Bai was an honest man, they became even more rampant, and some even brought a broken stone and wanted to exchange it for the pills.

There was no other way, Lin Bai took out the fox tail hair, and the aura of the high-level spirit beast spread, scaring those spirit beasts away one by one.

But after a few days, those spirit beasts saw that Lin Bai didn't dare to take action, so they came to ask for it again.

"Senior Zhuanlun, what's wrong with asking you to order something? I was the one who brought you in."

"My ancestors have lived here for generations, but I have never seen a cultivator as stingy as Senior Zhuanlun."

The fairy crane and the old roe deer took the lead, leading a group of tigers, deer, foxes and insects, and they were trying to force the emperor to abdicate.

Lin Bai was so angry that he laughed. These guys feared power but not virtue. It was really infuriating.

There was no other way. Lin Bai refined a furnace of pills and said that he liked musk deer the most, so 80% of the pills were given to the red-skinned musk deer, and the other spirit beasts only got 20%.

After distributing the pills for several days in a row, the spirit beasts here were beaten to a pulp.

Lin Bai set up the formation early and never saw these spirit beasts again.

Half a month later, the moon toad also came out.

"Ancestor!" Lin Bai looked concerned. "Ancestor, I couldn't talk before. May I ask if your injuries have healed? I'm afraid the things in this secret realm are extremely dangerous. Ancestor..."

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself." Yuexiachan gently waved her hand. Her face was a little pale and there was a bit of melancholy in her eyes. She just looked at the bright moon in the sky, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Lin Bai felt that Yue Xia Chan was not very reliable.

The more Yuanyings he met, the more Lin Bai saw. There were very few people as scheming as Jiang Xingchi, and those who could break all laws with one force like Chen Tianren were even more unique. Most people were like Aunt Gu, who practiced hard but didn't socialize much.

Of course, there are no stupid Yuanyings, but there are still differences in levels.

No wonder you can chat with Zou Mi, both of you don't like to think about things. Lin Bai actually prefers to deal with Yuexiachan, after all, he doesn't have many bad intentions, and the illusion test like last time is also what ordinary Yuanying will do, which is normal.

"Ancestor, what is the origin of Senior Chengfengzi?" Lin Bai asked curiously. This time he was going to enter the old residence of the Lord of Xuanyin Temple. If he couldn't know the enemy, he should at least know himself.

"Chengfengzi claims to be a casual cultivator." Yuexiachan did not hide the fact, "He is now in the late Nascent Soul stage. He suddenly appeared six hundred years ago and has contacts with fellow practitioners. He has traveled around the Northern Wilderness and has extensive social connections."

He does have a wide range of friends, but too many! He did not look for cultivators in the region, but instead looked for Xie Qingxuan and Mu Yao. Even if they are indeed capable, Cheng Fengzi must not be very popular, right?
Lin Bai was waiting curiously for what would happen next. Yue Xia Chan smiled slightly and said, "That's all I know."

"..." Lin Bai really has a bad temper, but it's not Yuexiachan's fault. She is a real fairy from the Ice Palace and has very few friends.

"Ancestor," Lin Bai changed the question, "May I ask when the senior we are waiting for will arrive?"

"It is normal to wait for ten or eight years for the Yuanying to arrive. It may come in three to five months, or three to five years. Don't take it to heart." Yuexiachan still didn't know, "Just practice quietly."

"Yes." Lin Bai agreed obediently.

"You are carrying the will of destruction of Taoist Master Huaique, and you are also practicing the method of tempering your body. Your skills are naturally outstanding among your peers, but once you enter the world, you need to be more careful." Yuexiachan really didn't treat Lin Bai as an outsider and gave him careful instructions.

"Ancestor..." Lin Bai's eyes turned red with emotion.

Yuexiachan said no more and left with a wave of his sleeves.

In this case, Lin Bai stopped thinking about other things and calmed down to practice.

When I came to the stone plate, I saw a ray of green. Aunt Gu's chain was still there. The moon was surging, and Xiuxiu had made progress again.

As soon as he thought about it, the scene on the stone plate changed. The fog parted and the moonlight poured in, reporting that Xiuxiu was safe.

Then he sat in deep thought. Ever since his last retreat, when he reached the fifth level of the Golden Core, he had been busy and exhausted. Now he finally had some free time to practice in silence for a while.

Since forming the elixir, Lin Bai's progress has been quite fast compared to his peers. However, he has the stone plate to assist him. However, he has too many things to do. He has to practice the Hunyuan body tempering method, comprehend the sword intent, and refine the gourd. Therefore, his progress is still a little slow.

However, he did not achieve much. He abandoned the meaning of purity and the meaning of earth and fire, and attempted to seek the meaning that was in harmony with himself, but he failed. He could only deal with it by relying on the sword meaning left by Taoist Master Huai Que.

The Hunyuan Tempering Body was only at the second level, the gourd had not been refined, and the apprentice was even more rebellious. "The realm is the foundation." Lin Bai's heart moved slightly, and the incomplete stone plate appeared in his hand.

This trip to the Northern Wilderness has three purposes. The first is to inquire about the affairs of the Tianwen Sect, which has now been settled except for Zou Mi's letter; the second is to find out the whereabouts of the second volume of the Changsheng Creation Sutra; and the third is to look for clues to the stone plate fragments.

After pondering for a while, Lin Bai put aside all distracting thoughts and cleared his mind.

A trace of spiritual energy came in from outside the mist, then gathered above Lin Bai's head, and finally enveloped his body.

Now I have reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. The further I progress, the slower and more difficult it will become. Therefore, I cannot afford to slow down any longer.

The Creation Technique is working, and the golden elixir in the body becomes clear.

The fog surged, and soon thousands of stars began to rotate, forming a galaxy.

The stars flowed and poured down on Lin Bai. The water surged, and Lin Bai moved with the waves, his black hair changing constantly to white.

The stone plate was pushed by the water waves and began to rotate slowly, stirring up the galaxy, as if it was combining with the golden elixir in the body, wanting to destroy everything.

The golden elixir in the body became clearer and clearer, as if it had been cleansed by the long river of time and the boundless galaxy.

Strange phenomena occurred frequently inside and outside the body. Sometimes it seemed as if one fell into the long river of time, and sometimes it seemed as if one fell into the boundless galaxy.

The fish swim with the waves and cannot be free.

In a trance, Lin Bai seemed to be back in the wordless secret realm again, where the galaxy was upside down, giant trees were towering, the water was still, and everything seemed to be stagnant and unable to move at all.

At that time, he had a debate with Li Xinghe about swimming fish. Either he regarded himself as the swimming fish, or he regarded himself as the star, in order to complete the escape method.

Li Xinghe even used the appearance and disappearance of Cang and Shang to make an analogy with human life and death, as if he wanted to let the fish swim in the long river of time to achieve the magic of escape.

But after all, in the end it is just that the road is long and difficult, but if you keep going you will reach your destination.

When practicing, one is unaware of the sun and the moon. Sometimes one is like a fish swimming upstream, and sometimes one is swimming downstream.

In the midst of my arduous search, I suddenly became enlightened, my mind and spirit were in harmony, and I felt like I was soaring into the sky.

Lin Bai opened his eyes and saw the stars hanging down, the long river flowing, and the stone plate turning, with a sense of vastness.

There was a thin thread outside the mist, and Lin Bai caught it in his hand.

The mind seemed to be traveling along a line, crossing mountains and rivers, and it was unknown how many tens of thousands of miles away it had traveled, even crossing the outside world and leaving this world.

What you see is lush greenery, beautiful mountains and clear water, it seems like a beautiful place in the world.

Birds flew and butterflies danced, springs gurgled, and from time to time a gray rabbit stood up on its two feet, looked around, and was alert to the enemy.

There seemed to be something different ahead. Lin Bai was about to take a closer look when he suddenly had a splitting headache and had no choice but to let go of the thread.

"The last time I spied on the fox, and even spied on the three Yuanyings of Shoutian Pavilion, it took me a long time to watch. Why is it that this time..."

After resting for a long time and stabilizing his small realm, Lin Bai opened his eyes.

Two years have passed, the protective formation remains the same, and there is only a tiny bit of dust around him.

Pei Ning was kneeling beside him, with his back to him, seemingly answering someone.

Lin Bai looked over and saw that the man was about forty or fifty years old, sitting cross-legged, with black hair and a gray robe, and a slight smile on his face.

The person who came could not be identified, he should be in the Nascent Soul stage. Behind him stood two people, a man and a woman, both of them looked young.

Realizing that he had no feeling of good or bad, Lin Bai stood up and saluted.

The Yuanying ignored him and just looked at Pei Ning, asking, "So your master didn't have any great experiences, and the sword he practiced was probably something he realized on his own?"

"I have never heard my master talk about any strange encounters, so I guess there aren't any." Pei Ning said respectfully.

"Kong Shu used the secret treasure to create the Law of Heaven and Earth, and he still broke it with one sword. It is really exciting." The Yuanying looked up at the sky and sighed, saying: "Compared to him, Chi Shangxing is really not worth mentioning. Even my generation, I am afraid it is difficult to block a sword."

Pei Ning did not respond, but the female Jindan behind the Yuanying laughed and said, "How can Chi Shangxing be compared with Master? Even old Kong Shu is probably not good enough."

"Qing'er, don't underestimate others. Chi Shangxing is not good at fighting, but Kong Shu is good at battle formations!" The Nascent Soul frowned and said, "How can you, a mere Golden Core, look down on those who have achieved the Nascent Soul stage? Not to mention Chi Shangxing, you may not be able to defeat Chen Tianren's beloved disciple alone."

He looked at Lin Bai again and continued, "This young friend is even more extraordinary. He is at the sixth level of the Golden Core, which means harmony with nature. You are far behind!"

"I know I was wrong." The woman named Qing'er bowed, then bowed to Pei Ning and Lin Bai, and said, "Brother and sister, please give me more guidance in the future."

Lin Pei and the other two quickly returned the greeting and said they didn't dare.

The middle-aged Yuanying said no more. He stood up and waved his sleeves to remove the illusion of the formation. Then he saw an old turtle waiting not far away.

The old turtle stepped forward tremblingly, "Please..."

The middle-aged Yuanying stepped directly into the water. Lin Pei and the others looked at each other and followed.

After entering the lake, he soon reached the bottom and then entered the cave.

After walking for a while, a cheerful laugh was heard. It was Chengfengzi.

"Haha! Now that my brother is here, I have no worries on this trip!" Chengfengzi stood up at this moment. He was tall and thin, and his old appearance had actually decreased a lot.

"If Brother Daoist Chengfeng holds me like this, I'm afraid I'll have to work my ass off!" The middle-aged Yuanying responded with a smile.

"Hahaha! Daoist friend, you are joking!" Cheng Fengzi's game was naturally introduced by him, "This is Daoist friend Zhou Wuji, the first disciple of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Patriarch Juexin!"

Cheng Fengzi was very enthusiastic and introduced them: "This is Fellow Daoist Xie Qingxuan, Fellow Daoist Mu Yao, and Fellow Daoist Yuexia Chanyue!"

No one saluted, just nodded in greeting, and Yuexiachan remained calm.

Cheng Fengzi was very happy and laughed loudly, "Fellow Daoist Yue is the descendant of a great sect in the Northern Wilderness, Fellow Daoist Mu was born in the Western Mysterious Region, Fellow Daoist Xie is from the Eastern Sea Region, and Fellow Daoist Zhou followed his master from the Holy Land of Zhongzhou. I am a wandering wanderer in the Southern Sky Region. Now that all the wise men have arrived, we should work together to seize the opportunity!" (End of this chapter)
