The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 124 Raising Cicadas
When young men and women meet again after a long separation, it is natural for them to be affectionate and affectionate.

Pei Ning's temperament is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and so is his personality.

At first, she insisted that Lin Bai read the letter to her, but after a few thrusts, she became limp.

The underground fire cave was hot to begin with, and the passion only made it even hotter. Pei Ning's slightly cool skin immediately became warm, and then hot, with a hazy pink color, as if it was smeared with red flowers.

Her fair face was flushed, and her eyes were confused. She bit her lower lip, trying not to make a sound, but her body cooperated with Lin Bai.

Not long after, she was seen closing her eyes, frowning, and pressing her arms down, tightly grasping the sides of the couch.

After a while, she let out a soft moan, her slender waist straightened, her body tensed and trembling slightly.

"Are you still asking me not to read?" Lin Bai stopped and asked.

Pei Ning ignored him completely. Her eyes were still blurry and she was mumbling something.

After a long period of commotion and several rounds of movement, the two of them rested.

Pei Ning lay on her side, her head resting on Lin Bai's arm. The flush on her face had not yet faded, and her pair of dark eyes kept staring, without saying a word.

Lin Bai was still measuring the size. He felt that after not seeing her for a long time, Sister Pei seemed not as big as Qu Ruyi.

"You've changed." Pei Ning said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Bai was shocked. "I am honest and I guard my heart and body."

"Heh, why are you so guilty?" Pei Ning smiled, his cold eyes turned gentle, and he whispered, "Before, your body was slightly dark red, with a slight fire. Now the dark red is gone, but there is a heavy feeling. The breath is longer, and the strength has increased a little."

"How does it feel?" Lin Bai asked.

"Feeling..." Pei Ning's face turned even redder. He didn't look at Lin Bai, but said angrily, "Lin Zhuanlun, is this what you think about all day?"

"You are just imagining things, right?" Lin Bai felt aggrieved. "I mean, how about my body tempering method? What do you mean?" Lin Bai looked at her with a smile.

"..." Pei Ning glared at Lin Bai and said, "Wait until your five elements are united!" She pinched Lin Bai angrily and asked, "Did you meet someone you know outside?"

"How did you know that?" Lin Bai was very curious.

"When you came back earlier, you were happy to see me, but you were also a little wary." Pei Ning blinked, "Did you meet Qu Ruyi? Did she ask you about me?"

As expected, nothing can be hidden from the person beside you. Lin Bai said in admiration, "It is indeed true."

Pei Ning pushed his head away, "Don't eat yet." She smiled happily, "I was her guide in Huaxi County, serving her every day, and she liked me very much." She stared into Lin Bai's eyes and smiled playfully, "In fact, she told me that she wanted to take me away, but I declined."

"Qu Ruyi is not a good person."

Lin Bai was immediately angry, "When I was out, I happened to meet her looking for Tianqi." Lin Bai was innocent, so he was not afraid of anything. "I should have known not to help her build her foundation."

Upon hearing this, Pei Ning stared at Lin Bai and asked, "Another life-and-death crisis?"

Lin Bai nodded, "This is very complicated, but I am lucky enough to survive."

"If you hadn't gone out, how could there have been any accidents?" Pei Ning complained, but there was concern in his eyes.

"That's not something you would say." Lin Bai smiled.

"I'm speaking for Miss Jiang." Pei Ning smiled, took out a letter, and stuffed it into Lin Bai's face. "After all, Qu Ruyi is a little older and likes men's clothing. I'm afraid she's not to your taste, and she's not as good as Miss Jiang's fragrance."

Lin Bai took the letter, tore it open and saw only one line of words on it: I have reached the seventh level of Qi training.

Pei Ning also came over to take a look, "Why didn't you tell you when your period would start?"

She had a smile on her face, but also a weird look.

"She is still young, what are you talking about?" Lin Bai said seriously.

"You'll grow up in two years." Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai, sincere and gentle, "It's not bad this way. You're not a messy person. If you have the ability, I will only praise you."

After she finished speaking, she pushed Lin Bai away and said with a smile, "Lin Zhuanlun, you didn't react at all when I mentioned Qu Ruyi just now. How come you are immediately moved when I mention Jiang girl?" She smiled happily, "If you say that you and Jiang girl are innocent, I don't believe it at all."

Lin Bai knew that he couldn't reason with her, so he didn't say anything back and just pushed her.

After a long commotion and a lot of effort, Pei Ning was finally coaxed into submission and the matter was finally revealed.

He went crazy day and night for three days, and then a spiritual force came in from outside.

This is a visit. Jiang Chun is a polite person. Seeing that Pei Ning has not come out, he will not disturb him rashly, so it must be Yao Qianyuan.

Pei Ning hurriedly put on his Taoist robe, tied up his hair, and put on the pearl hairpin.

Lin Bai slowly cleaned the cave and then opened the door.

It was indeed Yao Qianyuan.

She stepped into the cave without saying a word, just looked around with a smile on her lips.

When Lin Bai saw her, he remembered that Gao Yuanyuan said Qu Chengjia was invited away by Yao Wanshan and seemed to be going on a long journey for work.

Yao Wanshan is the ancestor of Yao Qianyuan.

Although Lin Bai was curious, he knew it was difficult to find out. Besides, Yao Qianyuan must not know the secret of the golden elixir.

"Senior Sister Yao." Lin Bai and Pei Ning saluted.

Yao Qianyuan nodded with her hands behind her back, and moved closer to Pei Ning, taking a closer look, and said with a smile: "Her skin is fair and delicate, bright and beautiful, and there is still spring between her eyebrows, not as cold as before." She clapped her hands and exclaimed, "It seems that she is full."

She looked at Lin Bai again and said, "You don't look tired, your eyes are clear and bright, and there is no dark bloodshot, so you haven't taken the Tiger and Wolf Pills. I thought there would be only the dregs left, but I didn't expect you to be quite capable."

Yao Qianyuan nodded approvingly, as if he was evaluating medicinal herbs.

Pei Ning had long been accustomed to Yao Qianyuan's dirty talk, so he didn't blush and didn't say a word.

Lin Bai didn't want to chase him away, as he had something else to ask Yao Qianyuan, so he gritted his teeth and asked him to sit down and poured him some hot tea.

"Where have you been recently?" Yao Qianyuan touched the rim of the teacup and asked curiously.

"I've been refining pills for a long time and I feel bored, so I asked my friends to go out for a walk to relax." Lin Bai pulled Pei Ning to sit opposite her, and said with a smile: "Senior sister is still as graceful as ever."

"Still as graceful as ever? How can you compare to someone who has been nourished for three days and three nights?" Yao Qianyuan smiled charmingly, not caring at all that Pei Ning was right beside her. She pointed at the low table and said, "Junior brother can both make pills and serve women. This is really enviable."

Lin Bai pretended not to understand and just asked, "Senior Sister, I want to find a place with abundant water and wood spiritual energy. Can you tell me where to look?"

Now, after practicing the Hunyuan Body Tempering Method and tempering the body with earth-attributed spiritual energy, you can go to the Zhu family’s territory and temper the body with metallic spiritual energy.

Metal creates water, water creates wood, so Lin Bai needs to prepare in advance.

The first consideration is safety and tranquility. Therefore, you cannot leave the market town, you must stay in the market town and look for it among the various Jindan sects and families.

"What are you going to do?" Yao Qianyuan smiled when she heard this. "You are in the Earth Fire Cave, and you want to find a place with dense water vapor and dense forests." She smiled, "You are fire, water, and wood, which is quite similar to one of my senior sisters."

Quite similar? Lin Bai was very curious, thinking, could it be that he had met a fellow practitioner who was also learning the Hunyuan Body Tempering Method?

Pei Ning saw Lin Bai's expression and asked for him, "Why is he similar to that senior sister?"

Yao Qianyuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "That senior sister also got the five elements and understood the five elements."

Lin Bai was tickled by what he heard and immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Yao Qianyuan clapped his hands and said, "She followed the order of the five elements. She first looked for people with wood in their natal chart, then people with fire, then people with earth, and then gold and water."

"Then what?" Lin Bai became even more curious, wondering if this was some kind of secret method or a formation?

"Then sleep with them one by one." Yao Qianyuan said.

Lin Bai was speechless. This senior sister was probably not practicing the Five Elements, but had a hobby of collecting things? Could it be that she had inherited the Nine Yin Mountains?

Pei Ning smiled and looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai had the best rapport with her and knew her abilities well, so he immediately understood that she meant to say that she had tested her own fire and earth.

Lin Bai stared at her, indicating that there was a third one among the five elements, and he would not let her miss it.

Pei Ning turned his head away and stopped looking at Lin Bai.

"Senior sister," Lin Bai could only look at Yao Qianyuan helplessly and said, "Please give me some pointers. I'm not joking." "I didn't say you were joking." Seeing Lin Bai being embarrassed, Yao Qianyuan was very happy and said, "Isn't it just looking for a place with lots of water? What's so difficult about that?" She sat up straight, tapped the table with her fingers, and smiled, "It's far away in the sky, and it's close at hand. Why bother to go far away? Just bow your head."

Hearing this, Lin Bai glanced at Pei Ning.

"Senior sister," Lin Bai was extremely helpless, "I use it for cultivation, not for use. Don't make fun of Pei Ning."

Yao Qianyuan was stunned at first, then looked at Pei Ning meaningfully.

Pei Ning finally blushed. She stared at Lin Bai and said word by word: "Senior sister means the Jiang family."

That's it!

"..." Lin Bai had a headache. As he had become familiar with Yao Qianyuan, he unconsciously thought that there must be something fishy in her words, and he kept thinking about it in the wrong way.

"There is a big lake in the Jiang family mountain, called Jade Lake, surrounded by more than a dozen small lakes. It is a place full of water vapor." Yao Qianyuan explained with a smile, "You can ask Jiang girl for help and give her some spirit stones, and the matter will probably be accomplished."

"Thank you for your advice, senior sister." Lin Bai thanked her immediately.

"As for the place with abundant wood spiritual energy," Yao Qianyuan thought for a moment and said, "Chun Yu's family has a cave residence, but it's not very big, and most of them are used by themselves. There are also some that are rented out, but they are a little more expensive, and usually people who are building their foundation rent them."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Bai and said with a smile: "If you want to rent it short term, remember to find me. It will be a little cheaper."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Lin Bai thanked sincerely and took out a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills and presented it to her, "Please accept it, Senior Sister."

Yao Qianyuan accepted it without hesitation.

After a while of nonsense, Lin Bai sent Yao Qianyuan and Pei Ning away.

After closing the cave door, Lin Bai sat quietly for a while and examined himself.

After three days of madness, he did not feel tired at all. The effect of body tempering became more and more obvious, and Lin Bai was very satisfied.

He opened the earth fire and refined a furnace of Qi Condensation Pills, then another stream of spiritual power was injected into it.

When the door opened, it was Jiang Chun.

"Brother Jiang."

"Good brother."

The two men greeted each other, sat down opposite each other, drank tea and chatted.

After praising each other for a while, Jiang Chun got down to business.

"My dear brother, your diplomatic trip must be a happy one, and you will be able to make further progress in the way of alchemy." Jiang Chun turned the conversation to alchemy.

"I do have some insights." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"That's good." Jiang Chun laughed, "You've been gone for more than two months, and I've run out of pills long ago."

"Brother Jiang is responsible for the inheritance of the family. If I had known, I would have refined two more furnaces." Lin Bai immediately agreed, "I have nothing to do these few days, so I will concentrate on refining pills for Brother Jiang."

"Thank you very much, my dear brother." Jiang Chun immediately bowed.

"Brother Jiang, you're welcome."

Lin Bai waved his hand, "By the way." Then he began to put forward conditions, "I have something I would like to ask Brother Jiang for a favor."

"But do you want to go to the cave to observe the underground fire?" Jiang Chun smiled easily and took out the wooden box.

"That's not the case." Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I just learned a new technique, and I need to practice it in a place with water. I heard that Brother Jiang's family has a Jade Lake spiritual place, so I don't plan to go outside to ask."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chun immediately said, "Brother, we Qigong cultivators should focus on cultivation and not indulge in magic." He was quite serious and continued, "Especially in the early and middle stages of Qigong, even if you learn magic, your power is only mediocre due to the limitations of your realm. Therefore, it is only proper to practice magic in the late stage of Qigong or after building your foundation. Those who specialize in magic in the Qigong stage are mostly casual cultivators who often go out to risk their lives, or those who have no hope of achieving the Great Dao."

These words were spoken with sincerity and every word made sense. The man really did not regard Lin Bai as an ordinary acquaintance.

Lin Bai was very grateful, but he couldn't listen.

"Brother Jiang, I know that you have good intentions." Lin Bai poured him more tea and said ashamedly, "I won't hide it from you, Brother Jiang. Actually, when I was out, I realized that I needed to find a place with misty water."

"You have observed the earth's fire and are good at refining pills. Now you want water. Could it be that water and fire complement each other?" Jiang Chun touched his chin and actually helped Lin Baiyuan.

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Bai immediately responded.

"Okay." Jiang Chun nodded, "My family has the Jade Lake Spiritual Land. I'll ask for you." He looked at Lin Bai and asked, "When will you use it?"

"Two and a half months later." Lin Bai replied.

"Okay." Jiang Chun pondered for a while and said with a smile, "Write another letter to my younger sister and ask her to help. The person who looks after Yuhu Lake is my uncle, and he dotes on my younger sister the most."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang." Lin Bai thanked him immediately, took out paper and pen, and started writing the letter.

In the past, when he and Jiang Yatou communicated, they always mocked each other and were sarcastic to each other, but now he was asking for help. Lin Bai was thick-skinned and didn't feel ashamed. Instead, he wrote nice words to her without asking for money.

After writing the letter, Lin Bai handed it to Jiang Chun.

The two chatted for a while, and then Jiang Chun said goodbye.

After closing the door, Lin Bai cleaned up the cave.

He also refined a batch of Tiger and Wolf Pills to help him calm his mind.

He closed his eyes and thought back to the first time he used the Dead Wood Cicada Talisman. That time it was Song Qing and Zhang Han, who had suffered the torment of the years, and the great immortal master had fallen into the mortal world.

The second time was in the cave, when Boss Liu and Qu Ruyi stepped into the five-zhang area of ​​Yuchan, and time passed rapidly for the two of them.

"Strange and magical."

Lin Bai took out the jade cicada and looked at it carefully.

It feels warm to the touch, is pitch black all over, and is the same size as an ordinary cicada.

I don't know what material it is made of, the workmanship is average and it's a bit ugly.

I took out the purse embroidered by Xiuxiu and compared the two. It was indeed that Xiuxiu's embroidery was slightly better.

Putting away the purse, Lin Bai took another closer look. The wings of the jade cicada were extremely thin, and the body of the cicada was slightly shiny, but the eyes were extremely dim.

Lin Bai took a few breaths and after he felt nothing in his heart, he extended his spiritual sense to connect with it.

It was just like any other thing, nothing special was found.

A little input of spiritual power was like a drop in the ocean.

"How do you use this thing?"

Lin Bai felt that he had little knowledge, but he didn't dare to ask others.

Blood? That was even more impossible. Lin Bai didn't even dare to try.

"After Qu Ruyi got the Jade Cicada, she didn't know how to use it. But after building her foundation, she seemed to know how to use the Jade Cicada."

"Before she established her foundation, she had a feeling that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and that one is born towards death. These are all principles that repeat themselves in an endless cycle."

Lin Bai held the jade cicada in his hand and pondered for a long time, but gained nothing.

"Shen Xu said that the jade cicada needs to be nurtured. What does 'nurture' mean?"

"Does that mean that the Jade Cicada cannot be stored in the storage ring and needs to be carried with you all the time?"

"What will happen after it is cultivated?"

Lin Bai pondered for a long time, but still got nothing.

In that case, Lin Bai didn't think any more about it. He took out a string, made the jade cicada into a pendant, and hung it around his neck.

"Wear it for a few days and see if the jade cicada changes."

Thinking this, Lin Bai started to refine the Tiger and Wolf Pills.
