The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 129 Between Life and Death, the Chance of Revelation

Jade Lake, Bamboo House.

Jiang Yu cleaned up the dishes while Lin Bai sat cross-legged, thinking about Jiang Yatou's matter.

According to Xiao Jiangyu, her elder sister had already entered the eighth level of Qi training two months ago.

It took Jiang Yatou about ten months to go from the seventh floor to the eighth floor, which was quite fast.

Generally speaking, the progress is fastest in the early and middle stages of Qi training, and in the later stages, it slows down, and one level per year is considered good. If a genius enters the Dao, he can build a foundation within five or six years, and those with excellent qualifications can do it within ten years.

It seems that Jiang girl is indeed very talented.

It took Lin Bai one year to advance from the seventh to the eighth level of Qi training. However, that was intentional to slow down his progress, as he spent most of his time tempering his body and practicing flying knives.

According to Jiang Yatou's progress, if everything goes smoothly, she will be able to reach the ninth level of Qi training within a year. At that time, she only needs to gather her spiritual energy and stabilize her state. After another three to five months, she will reach the state of perfection and wait for the revelation from heaven.

This time she did not write a letter, but asked her sister to pass the message. It was very upright and there was not a single dirty word in it.

She seemed to be deliberately keeping away, but there was a hint of urgency in her words, as if urging him.

Lin Bai could tell when Sister Pei was coming from the degree of her frown, but Lin Bai couldn't understand what Miss Jiang was thinking. After all, they had too little contact with each other.

But there is no doubt that what Jiang Yatou is most worried about right now must be building her foundation.

"But why is she rushing me? She has been bothering me every day since she established her foundation. If she had established her foundation first, wouldn't she have been able to ride on my neck and pee? Why is she rushing me so eagerly?"

Lin Bai recalled the old days.

Previously, that girl Jiang had carelessly refined the Tiger and Wolf Pill, which resulted in her falling in love. At that time, they were alone in the Underground Fire Cave, and their feelings grew stronger. However, Lin Bai had a very stable mind and was a sincere gentleman. He would never take advantage of someone in danger. He immediately made a decisive move and knocked Jiang girl unconscious, thus preserving the innocence of both of them.

But when Jiang girl was unconscious, she was still groaning, twisting her body, and her hands were about to tear her clothes off. It was obvious that she was having an erotic dream.

When she woke up, she said she had lost her innocence. Lin Bai explained again and again, and she woke up after being touched again.

But afterwards, she swore that she had dreamed of building the foundation, and it didn't seem like a lie.

Monks rarely have dreams, but when they do, they often have signs of foreshadowing. Since she dreamed of building a foundation, it should be a good omen.

"She urged me like this, could it be that she had a premonition in her dream that the revelation opportunity was related to me?"

The opportunity to build a foundation is hard or easy, and it is impossible to predict. It may be eating a meal, seeing a scene, going through some mundane things, or meeting a few friends or enemies.

Of course, it could also be like Qu Ruyi's, with many twists and turns and a narrow escape from death.

"She had a wet dream and it was a good omen for building a foundation. Could it be that sleeping with me would be her chance to build a foundation? Is it that simple? If Qu Ruyi knew, she would probably cry to death."

"If that's the case, I'll have to make some sacrifices. Jiang girl may be a bit naughty, but she has nothing to say to me. Her innocence is a small matter, her path is the big deal."

Lin Bai thought about it for a long time and felt that it was unreliable.

"Why are you laughing? Are you remembering something happy?" Jiang Yu tilted his head and stared at Lin Bai, waiting for Lin Bai to share his thoughts with great anticipation.

How could Lin Bai dare to share it? You can't say that your sister has bad intentions towards me, right?

"I saw that you are innocent, well-behaved and sensible; your sister is smart and kind-hearted." Lin Bai said seriously, "With you two sisters here, the Jiang family will surely prosper in the future. I am envious, so I laughed."

"Sir, you are so kind." Jiang Yu bowed in a formal manner, showing a thousand times more sensible than her sister.

Now, a year has passed since I last saw her. The little girl has grown taller, her face is fair and fair, her clothes and hair are very neat, and she has become more well-behaved.

I had been in Zhu's house for four months and had seen Miaomiao quite often, but the girl could understand what people said but she just didn't pay much attention to people and always looked lazy. Zhu Yumao got angry several times because of this and even planned to have another child.

After playing with flying knives with Jiang Yu for a while, Lin Bai continued his meditation.

In just two months, the second transformation of Hunyuan was completed.

One line is twelve years, five lines is sixty years, this is one turn. Two turns is one hundred and twenty years, which is almost the same as the life span of a Qigong cultivator.

The flesh and blood became more condensed, and there seemed to be an endless cycle in the body, which was in line with the laws of nature. But if you carefully perceive its wonders, it is just the same as usual.

For Lin Bai, the most obvious thing is that his skin is tougher, his Qi Sea is more expanded and solid, and his consciousness can be extended further and stronger. As for the effect of his soul, the feeling is not obvious.

He took the flying knife to try again. The injury was lighter than the first time and the recovery was faster. The earth fire invaded his flesh and blood and disappeared within a few breaths.

Lin Bai estimated that the second turn was 50% stronger than the first turn.

In the first turn, Lin Bai had to spend some effort to take down Shen Xu, but after the second turn, Lin Bai thought it would be much easier. The effect of the amber poison was getting smaller, and the power of his flying knife was getting stronger.

Lin Bai thought for a moment and decided not to practice Hunyuan Three Transformations for the time being. With the ability of the Second Transformation, he could easily fight against Qi training cultivators; if he met a fierce late foundation building cultivator, he could also use injuries to win; if he met a Jindan cultivator, especially a sword cultivator like Po Yunzi, the Third Transformation would be useless.

When it was Chenshi, Jiangyu came again.

She seemed to know that Lin Bai was leaving today, so she prepared a much richer breakfast, including fried fish, fish soup, and dried fish.

"I caught them all." Jiang Yu's voice was childish and serious, yet also somewhat proud, as if he was waiting for praise.

"Xiao Yu is truly a god." Lin Bai lied.

Jiang Yu was very satisfied and spoke a few humble words.

After dinner, he played flying knives with her for a while. Lin Bai said goodbye to the Jiang family members who lived here, and followed Jiang Yu to find Jiang Hongbo to say goodbye.

Jiang Hongbo was quite kind to Lin Bai. Firstly, Lin Bai had a noble character and was a sincere gentleman, so he was naturally liked by Senior Jiang, who also had a good character. Secondly, Lin Bai had a good level of cultivation and was also an alchemist. Even if his aptitude was slightly poor, he still had great potential.

"You've made rapid progress." Jiang Hongbo held the fishing rod in one hand, smiling, "You've already reached the eighth level of Qi training, just like Yu'er's sister. Not bad, not bad."

"It's because the Jade Lake is a beautiful spiritual place. My mind is clear and my cultivation can be developed." Lin Bai replied with a smile.

"I remember your Taoist partner is from the Tianchi Sect?" Jiang Hongbo asked again.

"Yes. She is now studying martial arts in Tianchi Sect." Lin Bai answered honestly.

Jiang Hongbo nodded slightly and asked no more questions.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Hongbo, Lin Bai glanced at the black tower and returned to the Underworld Fire Cave Mansion.

After chatting with Jiang Chun for a while and refining the elixir for him, Lin Bai went underground to observe the source of the underground fire.

Now that he has reached the second stage of Hunyuan, Lin Bai is no longer as far away from the source of the earth fire as before, but is a little closer. If it weren't for the Jiang family members by his side, Lin Bai could even stand five steps away.

After observing for an hour and confirming his own understanding of the meaning of the earth and fire, Lin Bai returned to the cave.

After thinking silently for a moment, he took out the jade cicada.

After being nurtured closely for more than a year, the deep meaning in the jade cicada's eyes has become less profound, and has become brighter and more complex.

Lin Bai inputted spiritual power, but there was still no response.

After two days of rest, he went to Fengming Pavilion to get spiritual materials for alchemy, went to Yao Qianyuan to pass on a message, and also went to Zhutao Garden to maintain his relationship with Chunyu Ye.

However, Gai Yingqiu was no longer in Tianchi Pavilion. She had returned to the mountains to practice, which made Lin Bai, who was hoping to take advantage of the opportunity, quite disappointed.

"I haven't lost a single match in this sect competition." Two days later, Pei Ning finally came, and she played it down.

“So what if he didn’t lose a game? Aren’t you still under me?” Lin Bai was even more nonchalant than her.

"I'm not a golden elixir, how can I suppress you, Lin Zhuanlun? How can I make you so weak?" Pei Ning smiled sarcastically.

Lin Bai had long been accustomed to this and had his own way of dealing with her.

After two days of commotion, Pei Ning returned to the mountain and Lin Bai continued his meditation.

Since he planned not to practice the Hunyuan Body Tempering Method for the time being, Lin Bai focused all his attention on his cultivation progress and the flying knife. He only refined two furnaces of pills every day and occasionally went out to talk to Senior Zhu Jianyang to relax.

Another eight months passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Bai had already broken through to the ninth level of Qi training. This time, there was nothing to suppress his progress, and he could go out from time to time, so he felt relaxed and made faster progress.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged in the Earth Fire Cave, closed his eyes, gathered the scattered spiritual energy, and slowly took it back.

After completing a large cycle of Qigong, Lin Bai exhaled and checked himself silently.

The sea of ​​qi had expanded by half compared to before, and could hold more spiritual energy. Faintly, there was a swelling and pain in the sea of ​​qi. The sea of ​​consciousness was becoming more and more prosperous, and the control of the mist became easier and smoother.

Another day passed like this, and the state of mind became stable.

At this juncture, all you need to do is practice for a few more months to achieve harmony and perfection, and then revelation will come.

Lin Bai was not in a hurry to go out, and returned to the stone plate to practice diligently, waiting for the arrival of revelation.

After three months of meditation on the stone plate, he had achieved perfection, but he felt nothing in his heart, and the revelation had not yet arrived.

"Three months on the stone plate is about three days in the outside world."

"Do I need to wait a few more days?" Lin Bai opened his eyes and pondered for a long time, but to no avail, so he stepped out of the door to ask someone who had experienced this before.

Went out and found Jiang Chun.

It took Lin Bai ten months to reach the ninth level from the eighth level, and it has been a year since Jiang Yatou reached the eighth level of Qi training, so she must have achieved perfection by now.

"My dear brother, your aura has changed. It seems to be harmonious and integrated. Could it be that you have achieved perfection?" Jiang Chun looked surprised.

"If it weren't for this blessed land, how could I be where I am today?" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"It's not a blessed land, but you are a blessed person. Unlike me, I have no way to develop my own path and can only run around to continue the family line." Jiang Chun stretched out three fingers and lamented, "My uncle gave me three more ordinary women, two of whom were widows with children. They fled to my territory from other places..."

"How difficult is that? I will prepare two more batches of Tiger and Wolf Pills for Brother Jiang. I will not let Brother Jiang be looked down upon by that ordinary woman!" Lin Bai smiled.

Only then did Jiang Chun laugh.

"I wonder how Fellow Daoist Xiao Jiang is doing?" Lin Bai asked casually.

Lin Bai guessed that Jiang girl was probably the same as him, so it would be best to ask her.

"I haven't been there in recent days. Only Xiaoyu goes to see her occasionally. Others don't allow her to go." Jiang Chun looked around and whispered, "You are not an outsider, so it's okay to tell you. My little sister has actually been consummated a long time ago, but for some reason, she has been hesitating, saying that the revelation has not come yet. I don't know how she is doing recently, and I don't know if she has gone out."

She has already achieved perfection? Lin Bai was stunned. It turned out that he had underestimated that girl. But if that girl's foundation-building opportunity was really sleeping, then why did I still have no feelings? Although she was selling Tiger Wolf Pills, knew a lot of tricks, and talked dirty every day, she was indeed an innocent girl.

Speaking of which, when I first met Jiang Yatou, she was only fourteen years old. Now she is nearly eighteen, and I don’t know how much she has changed.

Lin Bai wanted to find out, but Jiang Chun didn't know much, and he couldn't ask Jiang Hongbo.

After chatting with Jiang Chun for a while, Lin Bai went to look for Zhu Jianyang.

"Just wait." Zhu Jianyang smiled and stroked his beard, also happy for Lin Bai's progress. "The opportunity of revelation may come in one or two months, or three or five days. You don't need to worry, go out for a walk, see your Taoist partner, talk to your friends. It will come naturally when it is time."

Lin Bai always listened to others' advice and went to Tianchi Pavilion again to chat with Yao Qianyuan.

"I don't look like a disciple of the Jindan Sect. I look more like a brothel owner, just trying to hook you up every day!"

The closer she got to Yao Qianyuan, the more she spoke without restraint, "What about you? You are so stingy. You used to give me a bottle of sperm-fixing pills, but now you only give me Qi-condensing pills!"

Lin Bai took out the semen-retention pills and presented them to her, saying with a smile, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. You are the best senior sister in the world."

Yao Qianyuan took the semen-fixing pill and said, "Your breath is stable, but the apocalypse is coming?" Her tone was quite sour, "Why so soon? If I had known earlier, I would..." She was extremely resentful.

"Not yet." Lin Bai acted honestly.

"It's really useless. Gai Yingqiu, you're still sleeping!" Yao Qianyuan was angry again.

"She's on the mountain and I can't find her to talk to." Lin Bai complained.

"Aren't you usually quite clever?" Yao Qianyuan grabbed Lin Bai's wrist, pulled him upstairs, entered the private room, took out a pen and paper, and said, "Write a letter! Something corny!"

This is forced!

Lin Bai relied entirely on her for help, so he had no choice but to do as she asked. He thought that he would contact Gai Yingqiu individually in the future and let her serve as a mouthpiece for me and Sister Pei.

"That's right. If we don't keep in touch, our friendship will fade. If our friendship fades, forget about sleeping with us."

Yao Qianyuan forced Lin Bai to write a weird greeting letter, and only then was he satisfied.

"Alas, this may be the last time I bully you." Yao Qianyuan was quite sad. "Based on the records of our Tianchi Sect, most foundation-building opportunities are 30% dangerous, 40% enlightening, 20% dead-or-die situations, and the remaining 10% is a situation where you are sure to die. Heaven will not allow it."

She held Lin Bai's hand, like an older sister, and said kindly: "The road is important, but life is also important. If it really doesn't work, you can retreat. As long as you are alive, there will always be a chance."

Yao Qianyuan put Lin Bai's hand on her chest and rubbed it, "I'll give you a little sweetness. If you build your foundation, I'll let you play for a month."

"Senior Sister, I treat you as my own sister, why are you like this?" Lin Bai acted very angry.

"You have the intention but not the courage!" Yao Qianyuan pointed at Lin Bai with great disdain.

Lin Bai said a few more nice words before escaping.

And then I still felt nothing in my heart, as if the apocalypse had not yet arrived.

Lin Bai had no intention of practicing, so he went to Zhutao Garden again.

We have to maintain this relationship, and I will need to come to Zhutao Garden to temper my body in the future.

"Sister..." Lin Bai spoke sweetly when he saw Chun Yu Ye.

"You are harmonious and harmonious, and the great path lies ahead." Chun Yu Ye said with a smile, his tone a little bleak.

"The great way is ahead of me, but my sister is also ahead of me." Lin Bai said seriously, "No matter what realm I reach in the future, I only remember that there was a person in the bamboo forest who was as pure as a chrysanthemum. She was the kindest woman in the world."

After talking with her for a long time, Lin Bai made her giggle, and attracted several young women from the Chunyu family.

However, Lin Bai looked straight ahead, like a gentleman. He looked at no one except Chun Yuye, which really made Chun Yuye feel proud.

"This is my adopted brother. He is a sincere gentleman named Yun Zhonghe. He is an alchemist and is only in his early twenties. His training has been completed and he is building his foundation right now." Chun Yuye introduced him to the younger sisters with great pride.

After bidding farewell to Chunyu Ye, Lin Bai took a stroll in the market and bought a pearl hairpin and a jade hairpin.

After returning to the cave, Lin Bai participated in another Taoist gathering of Qigong practitioners.

It was meaningless. And because he had already achieved perfection, people did not dare to speak loudly, and he even said in private that he wanted to show off his saintliness in front of others.

A day later, Pei Ning came.

After making love, he whispered with her for a long time before letting her go.

But I still feel nothing in my heart.

Five days later, Lin Bai was refining medicine and meditating peacefully when a stream of spiritual energy came in from outside.

The door was opened and it was Jiang Chun and Zhu Yumao.

Jiang Chun bowed slightly and left.

Zhu Yumao pulled Lin Bai along and said with a smile, "Let's go find uncle."

"Brother Yumao, what's the good news?" Lin Bai closed the cave and went out with him.

"Yushu went out last time to look for an opportunity to build his foundation, and now he has succeeded and has returned." He was quite excited.

"We should go and congratulate them!" Lin Bai was also happy for the Zhu family from the bottom of his heart.

The two bought some wine on the way and came to Fengming Pavilion happily.

After chatting with Zhu Yuling for a while, the three of them went upstairs to talk to Zhu Jianyang.

"Although Yushu has a fierce temperament, he is not a man who is only brave but without strategy." Zhu Jianyang took a sip of tea and stroked his beard with satisfaction. "He is both wise and brave, and has a fighting spirit. He has not lost his heart to seek the truth, and his ambition to prosper the family is still there. Naturally, building a foundation is a piece of cake."

"Finally, there is another happy event in the family!" Zhu Yuling was also very happy. She wiped her eyes and poured the wine herself.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. Someone rushed to the second floor and opened the door. It was Zhu Yuqiang.

Zhu Yuqiang was in a very miserable state, with traces of tears on her face.

"What's wrong? You're so grown up, but you're still so clumsy. How are you going to get married in the future?" Zhu Yuling frowned and scolded, then stole a glance at Lin Bai.

"Aunt...Aunt is gone." Zhu Yuqiang wiped her tears.

Zhu Yumao was stunned for a moment, and Zhu Yuling staggered a few steps and fell onto the chair.

He and his two siblings couldn't stop crying, they were all distraught and unable to control themselves.

"Stop!" Zhu Jianyang was not sad. He shouted softly, and the Zhu brothers and sisters were freed from their sadness and confusion.

"My elder sister was already exhausted, but she just waited for the news from Yushu, and she managed to hold on until now. Now that Yushu has succeeded, my elder sister is relieved, and her pride has disappeared."

"One gains, one loses, and one gets rid of the old and takes in the new."

Zhu Jianyang smiled and said kindly, "Children, the road ahead is long. People will never die, and death will never end, unless you kill yourself. So cheer up and live up to the dead. This is what the children of the Zhu family should be like."

Lin Bai watched silently, and suddenly his heart was moved. An extremely mysterious feeling lingered in his heart for a long time.

"But has the apocalypse arrived?" Zhu Jianyang asked with a smile.

"Yes." Lin Bai replied.
