The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 128: The Path to Foundation Building
Sit quietly with your eyes closed, free of distracting thoughts.

When the five elements are combined, one transformation will lead to success and the form of Hun Yuan will be obtained.

In the blood, flesh, muscles, and internal organs, the concept of the five elements is no longer heard, and everything returns to nature.

The spirit and soul are more condensed; the sea of ​​qi is filled and expanded; the flesh and blood are more solid; the sea of ​​consciousness is stable; and the mind is not easily disturbed.

Lin Bai silently felt it and felt that the most useful thing at the moment was that his Qi Sea had expanded by 20%, which condensed more spiritual power. Another thing was that his Sea of ​​Consciousness was stable, and he could control the mist more freely, and he could attract more mist, which made it easier to control the flying knives.

Open your eyes and look at yourself in the mirror.

His face remained the same, just a little paler, barely worthy of the name of a pretty boy.

Usually, successful methods of body tempering can enhance the skin's radiance and give it a different kind of charm. But Lin Bai's skin was the same as usual, as if it had not been tempered at all.

But if you feel it carefully, you will understand its beauty.

Lin Bai pondered for a moment, took out a flying knife and cut his wrist.

The skin was tough, and the flesh and bones underneath were vibrant, so the flying knife couldn't cut through the skin.

With the influence of the earth fire, the flying knife suddenly turned red and violent. The skin was immediately burned, and the flesh and blood were charred black, but the momentum of the flying knife was stopped.

The trace of underground fire wanted to invade the flesh and blood, but it disappeared before it could go deep enough.

Looking at the wound again, it was slowly healing and looked like an ordinary wound, not like it was eroded by the earth fire.

Lin Bai sat quietly for a while, then took out another five throwing knives and placed them one by one.

Then the six flying knives left the ground one after another, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. After a quarter of an hour, they were all burning red and full of fire.

The flying knives were more powerful than before, and they came and went as they pleased. Each of the six flying knives seemed to be controlled by someone, sometimes they flew together, sometimes one in front of the other, sometimes forming a formation, and sometimes they flew in disorder.

After galloping for a quarter of an hour, the six flying knives slowly lost their burning sensation and returned to their original red color, and were collected one by one.

In addition to tempering his body, Lin Bai did not slack off in practicing the technique of flying knife.

Now that he has mastered the first transformation, Lin Bai's control over the flying knife has become more flexible and light, and its power has also increased.

"After working so hard for a long time, I can finally let the six Pei sisters do various actions as I please. I can let them go up and down together, and I can also let them have fun together, or let them have fun one by one. And I can make them not interfere with each other, and they can cooperate with each other."

"Six Pei sisters are still too monotonous. We need to find six more Jiang girls."

Lin Bai gritted his teeth and set an ambitious goal.

It has been more than six months since the Battle of the Cave. Looking back and comparing it now, I have gained something new.

With the ability displayed by Senior Zhu Jianshui, Lin Bai was confident that he could win. However, Senior Zhu Jianshui was old and weak, and had little experience in battles. His realm was only the middle stage of foundation building, so it was really an unfair victory.

Thinking back to Shen Xu, although his amber poison was strange, his five elements were in harmony, so he was more durable than before. Therefore, the poison would take longer to develop, and the power of the amber poison would be greatly reduced. When the flying knives came out, the fire would slightly restrain him, and if he continued to attack with all his strength, he would have an 80% chance of winning.

But if he faced a fierce man like Boss Liu, he would be hard to win. Firstly, the opponent was in the late stage of foundation building, which was a big difference; secondly, Hunyuan Tempering Body was mainly for defense after all; thirdly, the opponent was of the fire element, which restrained his attack.

Lin Bai thought about it carefully and felt that if he encountered someone in the late stage of foundation building, and someone as ferocious as Boss Liu or Tie Huasheng, it would be difficult for him to win.

If it was an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, he would be able to win. Even if it was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, as long as he didn't have a strange fate, he could still fight hard.

When Lin Bai was making friends in the past, he had heard a lot about Qi training killing foundation building, and foundation building killing golden elixir, and he had long yearned for it. Now, although he could not say that he would definitely be able to kill across levels, at least he had the capital to fight.

"Now that I have mastered the art of flying knives, I can both kill and defend. This is something I have spent a lot of time to master!"

"We still need someone to teach and test our moves! It's hard to be a freelance cultivator, unlike the disciples of a sect, who can always have a foundation-building instructor to guide them."

Lin Bai was sighing randomly, feeling unsatisfied. He thought that he had already mastered the Hunyuan Body Tempering Method once, so he might as well master it a few more times.

"Anyway, there's plenty of time! My name is Zhuan Lun, so of course I have to spin more. Even if someone who is one realm higher than me cannot easily hurt me!"

Now that I have obtained Hun Yuan, if I want to temper my body again, I can choose from the Five Elements at will, and I just need to follow the order of mutual generation.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai suddenly realized that he had combined the five elements into one, but Sister Pei had only tasted four of them and had not yet tasted the effect after tempering her body with the wood element.

"I've only rented a place in Zhutao Garden for two months. I don't know if they will let me rent it again. It looks like I'll have to talk some more."

Lin Bai was just thinking about it when a spiritual force came in from outside, indicating that there was a visitor.

When the door was opened, a woman in blue clothes, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, came out.

She has a calm look, with a bamboo hairpin in her hair, which makes her look quite elegant.

This person's name is Chun Yuye, and she is in charge of the many caves in Zhutao Garden, and her duties are similar to Jiang Chun's. However, most of the people here are building foundations, and there are fewer people, and there are people from the Chunyu family who use it for their own use, so she is much more free than Jiang Chun.

"Sister Chunyu." Lin Bai's sleepiness brought him a pillow, and his mouth became sweeter. There was a smile of surprise on his face. He bowed and took two steps forward, saying, "Just now I felt a stir in my heart, as if I was happy. It turned out that it was my sister."

Chun Yuye smiled and said, "I don't have any happy news to tell you."

"It is a great joy for me to see my sister." Lin Bai was really shameless and spoke very seriously.

Chun Yuye finally laughed out loud and said, "You are so sweet." She looked at Lin Bai for a while and then said, "Your lease has expired for three days."

"Three days have passed?" Lin Bai looked surprised. "I forgot the time during my retreat. Please forgive me, sister."

"For Yao girl's sake, let's just forget about it," Chun Yu Ye said.

"How can that be? Wouldn't that make it difficult for you, sister?" Lin Bai said seriously, "I will just supply you."

Seeing that Lin Bai was quite sincere, Chun Yuye felt more relieved and said, "It's not a favor. I can make the decision on this matter myself."

"Thank you very much, sister." Lin Bai sighed and said, "How about I renew the lease for another two months? That way I can make up for my mistake?"

“This…” Chun Yuye hesitated. “Most tenants of Zhutao Spiritual Land are cultivators who have established their foundation, so there is no shortage of tenants. You asked Yao girl for a favor, so my sisters and I allowed you to rent it for two months. If you want to renew the lease…”

"Since it's difficult for me, then forget it." Lin Bai said with regret, "I just regret that I'm obsessed with cultivation and rarely go out to see people. In the future... I don't know when I can see my sister's face again in the future."

"Alas." Although Chun Yuye was the receptionist, she was a descendant of the Jindan, and lacked some insight and sharpness. She immediately said, "It's only two months, you can stay here." She patted her chest and said, "Let's go and renew the contract with me."

"Alas." Lin Bai also sighed, "How could there be such a beautiful and kind person like my sister in this world? How lucky I am to have met such a person? The magic of fate is truly amazing."

Lin Bai signed the contract and paid the rent quickly, without even having to pay half a spirit stone more.

Afterwards, Lin Bai took out the Qi Condensation Pill to give to the other person, but the other person refused to accept it, which made Lin Bai even more embarrassed and ashamed.

"We are both descendants of the Golden Core, but Yao Qianyuan is still trying to extort money even if he is wrong. The difference between people is really huge."

Lin Bai called his sister for a long time, then left Zhutao Garden and went straight to Xinyifang Street.

Now I have a lot of things to do. The first thing is to get a Hunyuan body, which I need to ask Sister Pei to appreciate.

I also have to refine some Qi-condensing pills for her to assist her in her practice.

I also need to meet Senior Zhu. Yang Shu mentioned the Zhu family last time, and Lin Bai felt that it was not just a casual remark.

I still have to go to the Crystal Palace... Forget it, I won’t go to the Crystal Palace. I’m too lazy to bother with that guy Qu Ruyi.

In addition, I have to maintain my favor by refining the elixir for Jiang Chun. As for Fengming Pavilion, I will put it aside for now, and when the fire attribute spiritual energy is tempered in the body, I will refine more at once.

Lin Bai made short-term plans and went to Tianchi Pavilion first.

Gai Yingqiu was at the counter. She looked up and saw Lin Bai, and immediately said, "Little pervert... Daoist Yun."

Lin Bai was a respectable man, so he bowed and made it a point to maintain good relations.

Since I have accidentally found Yang Shu's contact, I might as well try it. What if Gai Yingqiu wants to give me something again? Maybe I can pick up some junk.

Gai Yingqiu returned the gift and asked in a low voice across the counter, "Why haven't you come for a while?"

It's as if there's something unclear between us! Lin Bai smiled apologetically and said, "I finally rented the Zhutao Garden spiritual land of the Chunyu family, and I was so focused on practicing that I forgot to go out."

"Did Senior Brother Yang accept the camphor?" Gai Yingqiu didn't care about Lin Bai's troubles at all.

"Of course I accepted it." Lin Bai touched the storage ring on his finger.

Gai Yingqiu was delighted when she heard this and asked, "What did Senior Brother Yang say?" She was both happy and expectant.

"Senior Yang said that borneol is precious. I'm sorry to bother you with your money." Lin Bai lied.

"He..." Gai Yingqiu's eyes were wet with tears. She wiped her eyes, sniffed, and said, "It's just a few months of salary. What's the point? I'll be happy if he's fine."

Lin Bai was stunned and shocked. He thought, after all, you are the counter keeper. Although you are not very old, and I don't expect you to be experienced in social relationships, you should be more thoughtful, right? How can you lose your composure when it comes to sex?
It seems that all the girls from noble families have this problem, and they have experienced few setbacks and few hardships. However, Yao Qianyuan and Jiang Yatou are the exceptions.

Also, this is too humble.

Lin Bai couldn't empathize with her. After all, he and Sister Pei had been through life and death together. There was no question of who pursued whom. Anyway, it was a natural thing for them to sleep in bed.

Of course, Lin Bai coaxed her a lot in order to get her to change more positions.

"What else did he say?" Gai Yingqiu wiped her tears and asked firmly. "... He said that Senior Sister Gai is gentle and beautiful, and she is also chaste and polite. She is a lady from a noble family." Lin Bai was telling the truth.

"He, he actually looks at me like this?" Gai Yingqiu was happy again. She asked anxiously, "Then why doesn't he see me so often?"

"Senior Sister Gai, Senior Yang's heart is devoted to the great Dao." Lin Bai persuaded tactfully.

"The road ahead is difficult and long, and one needs someone to accompany and support him." Gai Yingqiu's thoughts now made sense.

Lin Bai didn't say anything, thinking to himself, have you kept up with the cultivation? Others are building their foundation, but you sit at the counter every day. Could it be that your family has given up on you?
"After my rotation this year, I will concentrate on my cultivation." Gai Yingqiu was full of pride. She looked at Lin Bai again, took out a bottle of Qi Condensation Pill and gave it to him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's just a message, how can I let Senior Sister spend money?" Lin Bai refused to take the Qi Condensation Pill, and his face was serious. "Senior Sister had quite a misunderstanding of me before, but I respect and honor Senior Sister in my heart."

Gai Yingqiu seemed to have not yet recovered from her earlier stupor and looked a little dazed.

"Senior sister should know. I went to find Senior Sister Yao to ask her to pass a message to Pei Ning to express my love for him." Lin Bai was very good at pretending. He sighed and continued, "So, I know the pain of Senior Sister missing you the most, and I understand the difficulty of Senior Sister missing you the most. I feel the same way, how could I not know?"

Lin Bai has completely lost his shame.

Sure enough, Gai Yingqiu seemed to be touched when she heard this, and her face was moved, "I never thought that you actually knew that I..." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes again, stopped talking, forced a smile, and said, "I was wrong before. Yao Qianyuan is upstairs, you can go find her."

"I'm coming down." Someone said.

Lin Bai and Gai Yingqiu looked over and saw a man walking up the stairs. It was Yao Qianyuan.

Yao Qianyuan sneered at Lin Bai and Gai Yingqiu, then walked out of Tianchi Pavilion.

Lin Bai confessed his crime to Gai Yingqiu and then chased after him.

When they arrived at the street, they walked about a hundred steps, and Yao Qianyuan suddenly laughed out loud.

She grabbed Lin Bai's arm and praised him, "You finally listened to me!"

Lin Bai was puzzled.

"I was right. You are the most shameless, sweet-talkerish, and humble. You are really good at seducing people!" She grabbed Lin Bai's arm and whispered, "If you can deflower her, I will let you sleep with her ten times for nothing!" As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe, whispered a few more words in Lin Bai's ear, and then giggled.

Ha, you want to cheat for free food and drinks? Lin Bai didn't say yes or no, he just fooled her.

After a long time of talking, he finally managed to trick Yao Qianyuan into leaving. He also gave him a bottle of Qi Condensation Pill, but it was a gift from Gai Yingqiu that night.

Just barely enough.

Lin Bai rubbed his aching head, bought some spiritual materials for Qi Condensation Pills, and went to Fengming Pavilion again.

After arriving on the second floor and chatting for a while, Lin Bai took out three small wooden boxes.

In the previous story, Gai Yingqiu sent gifts to her unrequited lover in the bamboo forest, and Lin Bai took advantage of the opportunity and got six small boxes of Tianchi borneol flakes.

This thing is not cheap and has always been used by cultivators who are building their foundation.

Lin Bai didn't need it, so he just gave it away.

"I got some Tianchi ice flakes some time ago, which I'd like to give to you, senior. I also have two boxes, so please pass them on to senior Zhu Jianshui and brother Yumao." Lin Bai had a close relationship with the Zhu family, so he spoke directly without beating around the bush.

Zhu Jianyang didn't say any polite words. Instead, he opened it and took a look in front of him, then happily accepted it.

Then Lin Bai mentioned Yang Shu's inquiry into Zhu.

Zhu Jianyang pondered for a long time and said, "My ancestor received the favor of Gu, the Yuanying master of Qiaoshan Sect in the past, so we have a master-disciple relationship. The last time Qiaoshan Sect promoted a new Yuanying master, it was the Gu family that had a new noble. Because of the friendship, I went with the patriarch to congratulate. As for the Yang family's Yuanying..."

He sighed and smiled bitterly, then shook his head and said, "Ever since my ancestor passed away, we can't get close to the Gu family's Nascent Soul, and his younger generations are gradually becoming unfamiliar with us. Yang Shu is famous, but even though he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he is not someone my Zhu family can get involved with." He seemed quite lonely.

"In the end, we have to be self-reliant." Zhu Jianyang sighed.

Lin Bai deeply agreed with this.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and then Lin Bai said goodbye.

He went downstairs and chatted with Zhu Yuling for a while, then went to Jiang's house.

Lin Bai met several acquaintances and greeted them one by one. He remembered that he had not participated in a Taoist gathering for Qigong practitioners for a long time.

When he arrived at the Underground Fire Cave, Lin Bai first found Jiang Chun.

After some small talk, Lin Bai asked a few questions and only then did he realize that none of the Jiang sisters had written to him.

He refined two batches of Tiger and Wolf Pills and handed them over to Jiang Chun.

He took out two more boxes and asked him to pass them on to Senior Jiang Hongbo and Jiang Yatou.

Lin Bai had received favors from the former, and had an unclear relationship with the latter, so he should give something to both.

The friendship must be maintained.

After finishing all these, Lin Bai worked hard on refining the Qi Condensation Pill for another day, and then waited for Pei Ning.

Another day passed, and Pei Ning came late. Yao Qianyuan did not follow, and it was unknown whether it was because of the loss he suffered from Jiang Hongbo last time.

The spring breeze brings a unique charm.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged and listened to Pei Ning's appreciation. However, she was very reserved about this kind of thing and would never say a word.

There was no other way, Lin Bai could only push her down and force a few words out of her while teasing her.

"It's more comfortable than before... It seems to suit me better..." Pei Ning was forced to speak in a low voice and bit Lin Bai's shoulder, but only left a few shallow teeth marks.

After a busy day, Lin Bai sent her home and went back to Zhutao Garden to temper his body.

This time it starts with wood, followed by fire, then earth and metal, and finally water.

After staying in Zhutao Garden for two months, Lin Bai sometimes went out of the cave for a walk and looked for Chunyu Ye to chat, which made her very comfortable.

Gai Yingqiu also came twice, asking Lin Bai to deliver something. Lin Bai got one portion of Tianchi lotus seeds for free, and the other was a letter, which was burned by Yang Shu.

The two-month period was up, and the second transformation of Hunyuan had made a good start, so he said goodbye to Chunyu Ye.

"Sister, this is something I made myself. It's not worth much, just consider it a token of my appreciation." Lin Bai handed over a bottle of Qi Condensation Pill.

"Brother, come and talk to me often in the future. If you still want to rent this place, just ask." Chun Yu Ye took the Qi Condensation Pill, and there was a bit of sadness on his face.

Several of her little sisters were watching and giggling.

After leaving Zhutao Garden, Lin Bai first asked Yao Qianyuan to pass on the message, then went to Fengming Pavilion to get the spiritual ingredients for the Gujing Pills, and then returned to the Dihuo Cave Mansion.

Give Jiang Chun the Tiger and Wolf Pills, and then the Sperm-Securing Pills.

After two busy days, Pei Ning came again. This time, she tasted all five elements and got the taste of Hunyuan.

Lin Bai stayed in the Earth Fire Cave for more than two months, and the fire attribute spiritual energy tempering was completed. He went to Zhu's house again, drank and chatted with Zhu Yumao and his brothers, and then continued to practice, tempering his body with the two elements of earth and gold.

Compared to the underground cave in the past, the Zhu family's earth-attributed spiritual energy is inferior and not pure.

But these are small things.

After staying at the Zhu family for two months, Lin Bai went to the Jiang family again, paid a visit to Jiang Hongbo, and then moved into the small bamboo house.

Once the body is tempered with water-attributed spiritual energy, the second transformation of Hunyuan will be completed.

It has been nearly a year since the battle in the underground cave, and a year since I broke through to the seventh level of Qi training.

While Lin Bai was tempering his body, he did not give up his unique flying knife skills. Although his practice slowed down a bit, he had already reached the eighth level of Qi training.

There was a little light outside the window and a gentle breeze.

Lin Bai opened the door and saw Jiang Yu standing outside with a lunch box. She was wearing a tight-fitting outfit with a bamboo tube hanging around her waist, revealing the handle of a small flying knife.

She was still very steady and polite. She walked into the house, knelt down, took out the breakfast and placed it on the low table.

"My sister asked me to tell you that she has reached the eighth level of Qi training." Jiang Yu said seriously.

"Anything else?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"Yes." Jiang Yu knelt down, his back straight, and said, "My sister also said that she has started the path to building her foundation. She asked you to hurry up, she doesn't like to be slow."

"Then you should reply to her," Lin Bai ate hastily, "Just tell her that I have also reached the eighth level of Qi training, and the path to building a foundation is just around the corner."

"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded, then leaned forward a little, frowned, and said with concern: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

She pushed the fish soup forward again and said, "Eat fish."
