The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 122: Dividing the spoils and seducing
Qu Ruyi had just reached the stage of foundation building, and her realm was not stable yet, so Lin Bai and Zhu Yushu did not dare to disturb her.

Since they had nothing to do, the two of them went around the nine caves in the catacombs to check if there were any traces of other people.

After becoming familiar with the terrain, Lin Bai reflected on the gains and losses of this battle.

Compared with the rich sister, I am too poor, have too few backup plans, have no backing, and cannot carry my ancestor out to fight.

The advantage is that it recovers quickly, but its methods are limited, mainly because it has little practice of magic, and only has the earth and fire sword intent, which is easy to be restrained.

There is no doubt that the Hunyuan Body Tempering Technique had a miraculous effect. If it were not for the fire attribute spiritual energy to temper the body, the fire poison would have eaten away the heart long ago, and there would be no chance of a comeback.

According to the Hunyuan Body Tempering Technique, the five elements need about the same amount of time to temper their bodies. Fire takes ten years to temper its body, and earth also takes ten years. The next are gold, water, and wood, and finally they can be harmoniously integrated and achieve the meaning of Hunyuan.

This five-step process is called one rotation. Of course, the longer it takes, the better the effect. It can be repeated multiple times to further enhance the effect of body hardening.

Lin Bai has been tempering his body in the stone plate for more than ten years. Fire creates earth, so the next step is to temper his body with earth-attributed spiritual energy.

The earth-attributed spiritual energy here is pure and abundant. Lin Bai thought that he could try to use the earth-attributed spiritual energy to temper his body.

Just tempering the body with fire spiritual energy for ten years is enough to block the fire poison. If the five elements are combined into one and become the natural primordial being, it will definitely be stronger.

Looking at Qu Ruyi again, she was sitting upright on the wooden stake, still in a stable state, gathering her scattered spiritual energy.

Zhu Yushu was practicing with his eyes closed. He was very diligent after knowing his shame. Zhu Jianshui's injury had healed and he was on the ground on guard.

Lin Bai didn't think much about it, closed his eyes and walked to the stone plate.

There were dots of moonlight on the outer mist, which seemed to have a sense of water. It was Xiuxiu practicing.

Wisps of yellow earth-attribute spiritual energy squeezed in from the mist, without any mixture of spiritual energy from other elements, so it could be described as pure.

The earth-attributed spiritual energy intertwined together and slowly gathered in the center of the stone plate, covering Lin Bai.

After a while, the earth-attributed spiritual energy turned into a line and entered Lin Bai's body from between his eyebrows.

According to the method of tempering the body, the spiritual energy will flow like water and silk, washing through the flesh, blood, skin, tendons, bones and meridians.

The feeling of combing hair and piercing with thousands of needles when tempering the body with fire-attributed spiritual energy in the past reappeared. However, the vigorous fire spirit that lingered in the flesh and blood in the past slowly turned into earth-attributed spiritual energy, and the two complemented each other.

From the skin to the flesh, from the outside to the inside, everything feels heavy.

There seemed to be endless yellow sand and dust in the body, and it seemed as if thick soil was flowing in the flesh and blood. The mind was calm, as if it had merged with the earth.

"Last time, I used the fire-attributed spiritual energy to temper my body. It burned me so much that I almost died."

"Sure enough, the first time is the second time, it doesn't hurt this time. It's warm and very comfortable."

Three days passed like this, and Lin Bai opened his eyes.

There was nothing unusual on his body, except that his usual dark red skin was gone, and now it was a bit more pale yellow.

Just when he was about to try out a few spells, he felt someone was watching him.

Qu Ruyi and Zhu Jianshui, aunt and nephew, sat cross-legged in a triangle, all looking at him with smiles.

Lin Bai stood up and bowed.

"Don't waste time!" Qu Ruyi seemed to be a little more arrogant after building her foundation. She frowned and asked, "Where are the spoils of war?"

It turned out that they wanted to divide the spoils.

Lin Bai hurried forward, took out five storage rings, and said, "Three foundation building rings, two Qi training rings, all here." He pointed to the sky and swore, "I didn't move any of them!"

"Who knows." Qu Ruyi said with a smile.

She took the storage ring, took out the things inside one by one, and then divided them into several portions.

Three high-quality spirit stones, twenty-three medium-quality spirit stones, and six or seven hundred low-quality spirit stones were combined into one.

A set of skills called Yimu Qinggang Miaofa.

A fire qilin stone statue was obtained from Boss Liu.

A wooden sword spiritual weapon, not only is it full of wood energy, it also has the meaning of metal and stone.

There were also some common elixirs, talismans, broken swords and broken magical instruments with blood stains on them.

There are also five storage rings, which are also valuable and are combined into one.

There are six copies in total, and the value varies greatly. Therefore, whoever gets it first will naturally get the most benefits.

"Why is it just this little? I have two talismans, one secret treasure, plus one talisman from you, Lin Zhuanlun... I'm losing so much!" Although Qu Ruyi said this, there was a smile on her face.

She has already established a foundation, so she is not at a loss no matter how you calculate it.

"How to divide it?" Qu Ruyi rubbed his hands, looking like an impatient boy.

Zhu Jianshui waved her hand and said, "Yushu and I came here to look for Yuyan's body. Our trip has been successful, so you don't need to consider me aunt and nephew." She took the broken bronze mirror from the pile of miscellaneous items and said, "This item belongs to my family. It is considered to be returned to its original owner."

"Everyone has contributed this time, and everyone has a share." Qu Ruyi said very sincerely.

"That's right." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Seeing Qu Ruyi's sincerity, Zhu Jianshui said, "In this case, my aunt and nephew are counted as one. How about marrying last?"

"Okay!" Qu Ruyi nodded immediately, clapping his hands and smiling, "Lin Zhuanlun has made great contributions, you should go first!"

Zhu Jianshui smiled and nodded.

Zhu Yushu also smiled and said, "Brother Zhuanlun, please take it first."

"I am no longer called Lin Zhuanlun." Lin Bai looked at Qu Ruyi and said with a smile, "I now use the name Yun Zhonghe."

He is very frank.

"Okay, okay, please come in, Brother Yun." Qu Ruyi smiled.

Lin Bai nodded and just looked at the six pieces of spoils on the ground, but did not take any.

"Choose now!" Qu Ruyi was quite excited. This was probably her first time doing this. "Congratulations on building your foundation." Lin Bai smiled and looked directly into Qu Ruyi's eyes.

Qu Ruyi didn't dare to look Lin Bai in the eye. She just pretended to be carefree and waved her hand, saying, "The road ahead is difficult. This is just building a foundation. The road ahead will be long and full of obstacles. I don't know how many hardships there will be!"

"Indeed." Lin Bai nodded with a smile, and then said: "You and I came here together to seek opportunities. Now that you have established your foundation, I don't know where my opportunity is."

"Oh, that's a pity." Qu Ruyi lowered her head and sighed, saying, "But at least there is still something to gain." She pointed at the spoils on the ground and said, "Hurry up and take them."

"You really don't understand?" Lin Bai looked at Qu Ruyi.

Qu Ruyi gritted her teeth for a long while, then took out the jade cicada, "Give it to me, give it to me!" She stuffed the jade cicada into Lin Bai's hand and laughed angrily, "It's just a golden elixir, I don't even care about it! Haha, I've seen so many good things. I'll take any one of them..." She couldn't say anything else as she spoke, her eyes never leaving the jade cicada.

Lin Bai immediately put it away and said with a smile: "You have already established your foundation. When you return, won't the elders of Yunxia Sect give you gifts? Just act cute and you will have everything." He naturally had to act cute since he got the advantage. "A mere jade cicada is really not worth mentioning."

Qu Ruyi gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Bai, then took the Fire Kirin stone statue.

Zhu Jianshui originally wanted to take the spirit stone, but when she saw Zhu Yushu staring at the Yi Mu Qing Gang magic, she took it.

It was Lin Bai's turn again, and he simply gathered the spirit stones in front of him.

Qu Ruyi took the five storage rings and glared at Lin Bai again.

"Yushu, thank you both." Zhu Jianshui bowed, took the sword, and gave it to Zhu Yushu along with the Yimu Qinggang magic.

Both of these items suit Zhu Yushu, so Lin Bai and Qu Ruyi tacitly chose not to take them.

Zhu Yushu stood up and bowed to Lin Bai and Qu Ruyi.

There were also some common talismans, elixirs, a few broken swords and damaged magical weapons left.

It was Lin Bai's turn. He shook his head and said, "These are useless to me. I don't want them." He looked at Qu Ruyi with a smile on his face.

"Then I want it!" Qu Ruyi accepted it happily, looking quite satisfied.

"This time, Senior Qu slayed demons and killed many enemies in all directions, and finally established his foundation. When we return to Yunxia Sect, we will take out these things and give them to the younger generations. I believe that we can show off our achievements." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Qu Ruyi's thoughts were discovered, and she became angry and said, "You are such a mean person!"

After the things were divided, Zhu Jianshui looked at Lin Bai and said with a smile: "We have been away from home for a long time. Yushu and I are planning to go back. Do you want to come with us?"

Before Lin Bai could answer, Qu Ruyi immediately said, "I still have some unresolved grievances with him. You two go first."

Zhu Jianshui nodded and said, "This place is not the residence of the sect or family, but it is within the influence of Jiuyin Mountain. You two should be careful."

She was subtly reminding Qu Ruyi that Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect had always been at odds with each other, and there were always minor conflicts.

"Thanks for the reminder." Qu Ruyi took out two more bottles of pills, threw them to Zhu Yushu, and said with a smile: "This is my Yunxia Sect's Yuanhua Pill, please accept it." Then he looked at Zhu Jianshui, bowed, and said: "Please keep this matter confidential."

"Of course." Zhu Jianshui returned the greeting and said, "Goodbye." After that, he wrapped up Zhu Yushu and disappeared into the deep cave.

Only Lin Bai and Qu Ruyi were left in the cave.

Lin Bai pushed the spirit stone in front of her and said, "Here you go."

Qu Ruyi smiled and said, "Bribe me? What do you mean?"

Lin Bai replied: "This is your spoils of war, so it should belong to you." He smiled and continued: "I hope you can pass it on to Xiuxiu, she loves saving money the most."

"She doesn't dare to take so many." Qu Ruyi said this, but she still put them all into the storage ring.

Then Lin Bai didn't speak, and Qu Ruyi didn't speak either.

After a long time, Qu Ruyi seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. She grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and begged, "Lin Zhuanlun, please Zhuanlun, Yuchan, please send me off!"

Lin Bai smiled without saying anything, with a heart of stone.

"Hua Yuan Dan!" She took out two bottles of pills and the Fire Kirin Stone Zun. "This is a spiritual weapon that can increase the power of fire. It suits you best."

Lin Bai shook his head.

Qu Ru saw that Lin Bai did not move at all. She was extremely resentful. She gritted her teeth and thought for a long time, then ignored Lin Bai.

After a while, she suddenly smiled.

"Lin Zhuanlun." Qu Ruyi spoke softly.

Lin Bai looked over and was shocked.

Qu Ruyi's shoulders were half exposed, and she said coquettishly: "As soon as I established my foundation, I felt relaxed and wanted to try the yin and yang way and the love between men and women."

She became more gentle, her eyes watery, and said, "I rarely see outsiders, and there is no one in my school who suits my heart. Only you are the most different." She stretched out her hand again and pressed it on Lin Bai's hand, "You saved my life, and I am very grateful in my heart."

Qu Ruyi's voice was sticky, "It just so happens that I am here... The old ancestor is very strict, I have never had... Please be gentle to me."

Drinking the first soup and opening a new bud can be considered auspicious. Lin Bai did not have any premonition in his heart.

When Sister Pei came to visit in the past, she had already shown signs of being upset, which is why Lin Bai saw the blood.

Therefore, Que Ruyi is using the beauty trap!
Still want to get something for nothing!
She loved men's clothing, and Lin Bai had no idea about her.

He shook her hand off and pushed her away. Lin Bai angrily said, "Qu Ruyi, who do you think I, Lin Zhuanlun, am?"

He stood up and angrily shouted, "I live and die with you. I have always considered you my best friend, someone I can trust my life with, and a brother. How dare you want to sleep with me?"

Lin Bai made a very disgusted expression, "Xiu Xiu regards you as her own sister. If Xiu Xiu knew what you did, what would she think? If Pei Ning knew, how would I live my life?"

"Bamboo can be burned, but its joints cannot be destroyed! Jade can be broken, but its whiteness cannot be destroyed." Lin Bai shook his head and sighed, "I value my reputation the most in this world! How can you let me live my life?"

Qu Ruyi listened in a daze. Seeing Lin Bai's pitiful look, she put away her clothes and a look of shame appeared on her face.

She stood up, straightened her clothes and hair, then bowed, looking very serious, no longer pretending to be coquettish as before.

"That's right." Lin Bai returned the greeting and praised: "This is the Qu Ruyi in my mind, the one who rides a big horse, wears men's clothes, and is very dashing, the Qu Ruyi who values ​​friendship and loyalty."
