The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 101 Fighting for Life
After seeing Huang Ruhua off, Lin Bai felt that too many troubles had happened today, so he hung a "Retreat" sign outside the cave.

Close the door and meditate in peace.

Half a month passed quickly and Lin Bai opened his eyes.

"Xiu Xiu uses me as a training ground every day, but she can't deduce anything. Will this dampen her confidence?"

Lin Bai muttered to himself, thinking about Xiuxiu, and couldn't help but think of the girl from the Jiang family who was two or three years older than Xiuxiu.

I'm really not used to it without her occasionally buzzing in my ears.

Lin Bai wanted to inquire more, but since Jiang Chun had given him hush money, he couldn't ask any more, otherwise he would be disrespecting the Jiang family.

"Let's ask Yao Qianyuan some other day. She seems to be very close to that girl."

Lin Bai made up his mind, took out the small Yin-Yang Cauldron, and began to refine the sperm-retaining pills.

After spending two days refining it, Lin Bai went out.

Instead of going directly to Fengming Pavilion, Lin Bai first wandered around the market town, trying to pick up a book on body-building exercises.

I gained nothing and just wore out my shoes for nothing.

Arriving at Fengming Pavilion, he went up to the second floor with Zhu Yuling, but did not see Zhu Jianyang.

Upon asking, he found out that a new Nascent Soul had appeared in the Qiaoshan Sect, and Zhu Jianyang went with the head of the Zhu family to congratulate them.

Lin Bai knew before that the Zhu family had some connection with the Qiaoshan Sect, so he was not too surprised.

After all, the Nascent Soul is too far away.

This time, the ingredients for the twenty portions of Sperm-Securing Pills give us four hundred pills, which is considered complete.

After handing over the Gujing Pills to Zhu Yuling, Lin Bai obtained another twenty portions of materials.

This time, Lin Bai was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he chatted with Zhu Yuling and talked about trivial things in the market.

"Has something happened to the Jiang family? Something seems amiss to me." Lin Bai turned the conversation to Jiang.

"Haha, that's not true. The Jiang family is proud of this." Zhu Yuling giggled, as if she was happy to see other Jindan families embarrassed.

"Sister Yuling, I'd like to hear the details." Lin Bai quickly poured her tea.

"Doesn't the Jiang family have a cave industry?"

Zhu Yuling's smile widened. "There was a Taoist who was good at making talismans. She saved up some spirit stones and lived in the Jiang family. She was in her fifties or sixties and had no hope of becoming a great master, so she wanted to have fun. Then the Jiang family found her a young man for her to enjoy. That was fine, it wasn't a big deal, it was consensual. But the Taoist was really cruel. He detained the young man in a cave, fed him tiger and wolf pills every day, and kept asking for more..."

She couldn't hold back her laughter when she said this. "The young man couldn't stand such a war, so he found the right opportunity to escape, but was tied back by Kun Dao. This matter was reported to the City Patrol Guard, and the Jiang family took a lot of effort to suppress it. But the City Patrol Guard was jointly established by the Jindan Sects and Families around Xinyifang. So even though the independent cultivators didn't know, the Jindan Sects and Families knew something. Everyone said that the Jiang family was openly doing the cave business, but in fact they were pimping and selling tiger and wolf pills in secret, doing the flesh trade."

Lin Bai: “…”

"The Jiang family has been producing golden elixirs for generations, and their education is very strict. They only care about reputation, but this time they have brought shame to their parents!" Zhu Yuling became happier. "The Jiang family's ancestor has even come out of retirement to suppress this matter. Alas, I don't know which member of the Jiang family did this. I'm sure he has been skinned alive by now."

Lin Bai has already confirmed that it is the incident involving Jiang girl that has been exposed!

Thinking back to the beginning, Jiang Xiaobai had considered me first! But I was a person of high moral character, so Yang Xiang took advantage of me...

Things change at different times, and life really does play tricks on us.

Lin Bai felt that he might not be able to see that girl for a while.

"Don't tell anyone about this." After laughing, Zhu Yuling carefully reminded.

"I saved it." Lin Bai is not stupid. He just needs to be happy in secret. There is no need to tell others about it.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Bai had no intention of moving. After chatting for a while, he asked, "Brother Yumao wrote to me last time, saying that he would come to Xinyifang soon. Why hasn't he come yet? Is he stuck at home?"

"I almost forgot." Zhu Yuling slapped her forehead and said, "Yumao sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that he wanted to go out and explore the world."

"What?" Lin Bai thought it was outrageous. "Brother Yumao is honest and sincere. How could he meet someone good if he went out? Why did you let him go out?"

"He has not made any progress in his cultivation for a long time. Whether it is the Gujing Pill or other methods, they are all ineffective." Zhu Yuling also sighed, "He left a letter saying that he wants to go out and try his luck. Maybe he will have a chance and be able to show his great Dao." After hearing this, Lin Bai couldn't say anything else. As a fellow cultivator, he knows the pain of not being able to show his great Dao. If it were me, I would also go out and try my luck. Maybe I would have a chance or gain some enlightenment while risking my life.

Since you have chosen the great road, you must have the will to fight to the death.

"Brother Yumao, did you go out alone? Going south or north?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I don't know." Zhu Yuling shook her head. "The letter he left behind said that he met two fellow Taoists and they got along quite well. After spending more than ten days together, they invited him to go on an adventure together."

"How can this be possible?" Lin Bai thought it was outrageous. "He is too trusting! He has no defense at all! He just follows someone he has known for more than ten days? You should replace him with someone else as soon as possible, he is not capable of doing this!"

Zhu Yuling smiled suddenly upon hearing this and said, "He only knew you for one day, but he treated you as a close friend and trusted you very much."

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "I am a good person."

"You are a good person, so others cannot be good people?" Zhu Yuling smiled, and seeing that Lin Bai looked unhappy, she explained, "It should be fine. Although Yumao's cultivation is not high, he has gained a little knowledge in formation. Those two casual cultivators said they wanted to rely on him to break the formation, so they need to rely on him."

Two independent cultivators? Breaking the formation? Lin Bai suddenly thought of Huang Ruhua. She was looking for a formation master, and she also had two fellow Taoists traveling with her...

Lin Bai sighed and thought to himself that after going around in circles, Huang Ruhua and the others actually found someone who knew about the formation.

But what if once the formation is broken, they will take advantage of us completely?
"Are you worried about him?" Zhu Yuling asked with a smile.

"Since I came to Qiaoshan, the first good person I met was Brother Yumao. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today." Lin Bai sighed again, "How can I not worry?"

"Everyone has his own destiny." Zhu Yuling smiled faintly, "He went out this time for the sake of the great way. You and I can't force him."

Lin Bai glanced at her and thought to himself, how can you be so open-minded? You were not like this before! Did Senior Zhu Jianyang enlighten you?
The two of them didn't say anything more. After sitting for a while, Lin Bai returned to the Jiang family's property.

First go to Cave No. C to look for Huang Ruhua, but no one responds in the cave.

I asked a few familiar Taoist friends, but they also didn't know.

Lin Bai had no choice but to go find the Jiang family’s Qigong manager.

But the man who practiced Qigong was very steady and prudent in his work, and he didn't say much at all.

Lin Bai had no choice but to go back to Huang Ruhua's cave, thinking that if Jiang girl was there, he might be able to coax something out of her.

Just as he was about to go home, he saw a cave opening. A man walked out of it. His hair was a mixture of black and white, his face was a little haggard, and his back was hunched.

Who is this? Lin Bai took a look and thought, isn't that Yang Xiang's cave? Did he quit the lease and change the owner?

"Friend Yun." The man spoke.

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, walked forward and bowed, then took a closer look and found that it was Yang Xiang!

Yang Xiang is not much older than me, but I haven’t seen him for such a long time. How come he looks so old?
Yes, I slept like this.

"Fellow Daoist Yang?" Lin Bai asked in a low voice.

"I'm sorry to embarrass you." Yang Xianglue bowed.

"Are you okay?" Lin Bai said without any intention of making fun of him.

It's not shameful to earn spirit stones by physical strength.

"Not bad." Yang Xiang smiled and pointed at the cave, "No rental fee is required for ten years, and the Jiang family also promised to give me... ahem..." He said here and waved his hand, "I can't say more, please don't tell others, Fellow Daoist Yun."

"I know." Lin Bai nodded.

"Are you here to look for fellow Daoist Huang Ruhua?"

Yang Xiang pointed outside and said, "She left five days ago. She also said that there was a sign in front of your cave saying you were in seclusion, so I didn't dare to disturb her. Let me tell you."

Sure enough! Lin Bai nodded.
