The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 139: The Controversy of Remarriage
Jiang Xiaobai was wearing a wide-sleeved Taoist robe and sitting upright on a low couch, looking very serious.

Lin Bai was sitting in front of her, also looking like a gentleman.

"Xiaoyu likes the jade flute you gave her very much, and she also said that she has remembered your words. She asked me to thank you." Jiang Xiaobai said lightly and pulled his robe again.

"It's just a flute. As long as she likes it, why should she thank me?"

Lin Bai stared into her eyes and said, "Now it's time to talk about our business. Give it to me."

"You are so shameless!" Jiang Xiaobai blushed, "I have something serious to tell you."

"I'm talking about the giant scorpion's poison needle, poison sac, snake skin and fangs. You've shown off enough, so you should give them back to me." Lin Bai had a headache. "What do you think I was talking about?"

"..." Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, with a look of shame and anger on her face. She endured for a while and said, "Why are you panicking? What is yours is yours. When has my Qiaoshan Jiang family ever stolen anything from others?"

"Then give it to me?" Lin Bai urged.

"Urgent, urgent, urgent, I just know it's urgent." Jiang Xiaobai said angrily.

"Are you done showing off and want to give it away?" Lin Bai had seen through her a long time ago.

"It's a loan, not a gift." Jiang Xiaobai laughed.

Lin Bai was speechless. He just felt that he was too young to believe what a woman said.

Especially, I dare to believe what Jiang Xiaobai says.

Lin Bai held his forehead and sighed, feeling deeply tired.

"Okay, okay, look at how stingy you are! I'll compensate you." Jiang Xiaobai said with disdain. She reached forward and put her hand on Lin Bai's knee, "Don't be angry." This sentence was very soft and sticky.

Lin Bai looked at her.

Jiang Xiaobai shook her head helplessly, looking pitiful. "Alas, I have nothing else to compensate you. After I established my foundation, my family wanted to make a new spiritual tool for me, so they didn't give me any other rewards." She sighed faintly, feeling very aggrieved. "After all the calculations, I only have my body left..."

She turned serious and said solemnly, "This is the last time! If I didn't feel sorry for you and I didn't have anything to pay off the debt, I would never do this!"

Lin Bai understood that the poison needle, poison sac and snake skin fangs must still be in her hands, but she had to play a trick. Then she would feel comfortable and happy, and the spoils of war would be in her pocket. As for him, he worked hard but got nothing.

This woman is really cunning.

Lin Bai wanted to discuss some conditions, but she immediately took out a talisman and threw it out.

The talisman ignited gently, creating faint ripples that enveloped the area, isolating the inside and outside, making no sound, and blocking anyone from seeing through.

It's obvious that he came prepared!

"Okay." Jiang Xiaobai turned around and said, "I can't stay here for too long. Come to my place next time."

You just said this was the last time! Lin Bai had no choice but to eat first.

Jiang Xiaobai is a playful person who is willing to try anything. This time he has a lot of new tricks, and I don't know if he has read some books at home in the past two days.

After some commotion, they chatted some small talk.

Her hands were restless, either playing with the jade cicada or playing with something else. When Lin Bai said something to her, she argued that the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind, and she was behind, so she could catch them all in one net and play with them. Lin Bai couldn't argue with her, so he could only let her do whatever she wanted, because she had to bear the consequences of her foolish play anyway.

After another quarrel, Jiang Xiaobai became even more obedient, not looking like a foundation-building cultivator at all. His face was red, his big black eyes blinked, and his body trembled slightly.

This is the time when women are most obedient and best at negotiating conditions.

"What's going on between Qiaoshan Sect and Jiuyin Mountain?" Lin Bai asked naturally after he had served her well.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "The ancestor doesn't allow me to talk nonsense."

"I'm not an outsider." Lin Bai pinched her.

"Hehe, it's itchy!" Jiang Xiaobai smiled foolishly and twisted around, "Then tell me where this jade cicada came from?"

Earlier, when they were at Mianlong Mountain, she had seen the jade cicada when they met each other nakedly. She felt that it was unusual, but could not figure out the reason.

When she saw him again these few days, she found that Heichan's eyes were a little brighter, and she became even more interested.

"It was given to me by a senior." Lin Bai said.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and stopped asking.

Lin Bai nudged her again and made her feel comfortable, and then she began to talk about Qiaoshan Sect and Jiuyin Mountain.

Things are actually not complicated.

The Qiaoshan Sect has a spiritual beast with the cultivation level of a golden elixir. The so-called spiritual beast is actually a demon beast. It is just that the demon beast enters the sect, is educated, and has spiritual wisdom, so it is called a spiritual beast.

There was a cultivator in the Yang family of the Qiaoshan Sect who was at the Nascent Soul stage, named Yang Chuan. He went to the Mianlong Mountain to seek an opportunity to build his foundation, and after he succeeded, he brought back a little fox that had built its foundation.

This is not a big deal. Some cultivators are born to be close to monsters because their destiny is a certain monster, or a tree or forest, or for other reasons.

Ever since Yang Chuan brought the fox back, he has been inseparable from the fox and they have a very good relationship.

Afterwards, Yang Chuan practiced the life contract method, and his fate became even more dependent on that of the fox, and their minds were connected.

This method of life contract is a secret technique to connect the life of the spirit beast, and it needs the consent of the spirit beast to be carried out. And the realms of the two should not be too different, it is best to be the same realm, and have a deep affection for each other.

Moreover, the cultivator who performed the Life Contract could only choose one demon beast. If one of them died, the spell would be dissolved.

After the life contract is made, there is actually no distinction between master and servant between the cultivator and the spirit beast.

However, most monks are thoughtful and knowledgeable, while spirit beasts are simple-minded and need to be fed by monks from time to time; moreover, spirit beasts have long lifespans, and their cultivation progress is very slow, so their cultivation is usually weaker than that of monks; in addition, spirit beasts and monks live together day and night, and often have deep feelings for each other, and spirit beasts have not lost their wild instincts, and generally regard monks as their masters, and rarely resist.

Therefore, after performing the life contract method, the cultivator is often the leader and the spirit beast is the follower.

Of course, there are also extremely powerful spiritual beasts that serve as the leaders, with cultivators as their followers.

The benefits of the secret method are self-evident. All the abilities of the spirit beast can be used for one's own benefit and driven by one's own will.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can control them as you wish after practicing the Fate Contract. Some spirit beasts are naturally timid and afraid of things. If you ask them to fight, they will retreat behind you. Some spirit beasts are very intelligent and will not obey your orders even if you give them blind commands.

After the Yang family cultivator and the fox performed the life-contract technique, they became closer.

In Jiang Yatou's words, if the fox could transform, it would probably want to get married.

Things were going well up to this point. Later, the Yang family cultivator's golden elixir entered his stomach, and the fox caught up after spending more than a hundred years in the foundation-building stage.

Both of them are golden elixirs, the Yang family is so happy.

I had hoped that everyone would be happy. But in the end, the Yang family cultivator failed to achieve the Nascent Soul stage and died of old age in Qiaoshan.

But the fox was still alive and well, looking very energetic.

When a person dies, the life contract is gone, and the fox is free. But it is really nostalgic and close to humans, so it has no intention of leaving.

The Yang family didn't want to let the fox go, after all, it was a golden elixir spirit beast. Even if it didn't seek to increase its prestige, it would be great to have it as a mascot.

Later, the Yang family wanted to let the fox perform the life contract with their newly promoted golden elixir to renew their old relationship.

The fox was quite intelligent and had strong cultivation. It said that it had taken a fancy to a golden elixir of the Gu family and wanted to make a life contract with it.

The Yang family naturally refused. The fox was very sensible and did not make a fuss or force anything, so the matter was put aside.

To use Jiang Xiaobai's malicious words, instead of finding a new wife for the man, the Yang family resorted to dirty tactics such as having the son inherit the father's property and the younger brother inherit the elder brother's property.

After more than a hundred years, the fox still did not leave, but lived in the territory of the Yang family of Qiaoshan Sect. In addition to practicing, it also taught the children of the Yang family from time to time, and wandered around the place where Yang Chuan was buried, just to show its nostalgia. It was also very close to the family, and the Yang family also liked the fox. Any outstanding children of the Yang family were proud to have touched and hugged the fox.

The Yang family also respected the fox very much, and the younger generations all called it "ancestor".

There's nothing wrong with this.

But the member of the Gu family that the fox had his eyes on had achieved Nascent Soul status a few years ago!
This is nothing, at most we can say that the fox has poisonous eyes.

Anyway, the fox never thought of jumping out of the nest again, nor did it interact with the Gu family. It just stayed in the Yang family's territory.

Afterwards, the fox said he wanted to go out for a walk and visit his hometown in Mianlong Mountain. The Yang family had long regarded it as a family member and knew that the fox was a simple-minded person, so even the Yang family Yuanying did not stop him.

As a result, the fox went out for a wander and asked someone to send a message to Qiaoshan Sect, saying that he liked Jiuyin Mountain and wanted to live there for a while.

Naturally, the Yang family did not agree, but the fox was very smart and had his own ideas, so Jiuyin Mountain was also very happy about it. They hit it off and settled down in Jiuyin Mountain.

Actually, it was nothing here. For a Yuanying Sect, losing a golden elixir was nothing. Just treat it as a fox dying outside. However, the Qiaoshan Sect was shameful, especially the Yang Family.

Later, the Qiaoshan Sect and the Jiuyin Mountain did not get along well. But after all, it was just a small Jindan monster, and it was not enough to cause the two Yuanying sects to fight.

But a few years ago, the fox got some secret treasure in Jiuyin Mountain, or had some other chance, and he achieved Yuanying in one fell swoop. Losing a golden elixir is a life-threatening thing for the Zhu family. But for Qiaoshan Sect, it is not worth mentioning at all.

But the Qiaoshan Sect was devastated to death because they had lost a Nascent Soul, and a Nascent Soul spirit beast with an extremely long lifespan.

Especially the Yang family. Not only did they lose an adult, but they also gave away a Yuanying spirit beast for nothing.

Who wouldn’t be anxious?
The supreme leader of Qiaoshan Sect who is in the late Nascent Soul stage has not spoken yet, so now the Yang family of Qiaoshan Sect wants to fight, the Gu family wants to negotiate, and the Cheng family also wants to negotiate.

Jiuyin Mountain got a great advantage, but kept saying they wanted to make peace. Yunxia Sect kept fanning the flames, saying they wanted to help Qiaoshan Sect fight.

The situation is currently at a stalemate here.

Lin Bai listened carefully and thought about it carefully. He felt that there must be a secret in it, but outsiders didn't know it.

For example, what did the fox get, and why did it form a baby in one fell swoop when it ran to Jiuyin Mountain; what price did Jiuyin Mountain offer to keep the fox?
"Do you want to fight?" Lin Bai pinched.

"There's nothing I can do about you." Jiang Xiaobai said with disdain, "Hurry up, it's getting late." She turned around.

"..." Lin Bai had no choice but to go with the flow.

After the commotion, Lin Bai asked, "Qiaoshan Sect lost their wife and lost face, I'm afraid they won't let it go. Are they going to fight Jiuyin Mountain?"

Jiang Xiaobai rested for a while, and while combing his hair, he said, "Who knows. My ancestor said there might be more trouble."

"That fox is already in the Nascent Soul stage, and its intelligence is high. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Jiuyin Mountain to keep it. So the fox is willing to stay in Jiuyin Mountain. This is the crux of the problem." Lin Bai thought for a while and said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

It's none of my business, so I'll just ignore it. Lin Bai didn't want to get involved, and it wasn't his turn to get involved.

However, all the sects and families in Qiaoshan are considered as subordinates of Qiaoshan Sect. If Qiaoshan Sect goes to war, the first to fight will be the people of Qiaoshan Sect, and then the families and sects around Xinyifang will have to send people to follow.

Seeing that Jiang Yatou was not worried, Lin Bai asked, "Is this the reason for the incident at Longmenfang?"

"It is said that the fox sent a letter to Qiaoshan Sect, mentioning this matter, and the letter contained quite aggrieved words. Qiaoshan Sect naturally had to take care of it, and the Yang family also worked very hard."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, "Let's not talk about this." She spoke softly, and continued, "Before, your realm was not stable, so I didn't feel anything... Why today, I feel that your skin is tough, yet soft. There is a natural and harmonious state, as if it was made by nature."

She touched her hair, her face still flushed, her eyes watery, and she looked reluctant to leave...

Is this girl not eating enough? Lin Bai pretended not to understand.

At this moment, a spiritual force came from outside.

The two men quickly put on their robes, cleaned off their dirt, and straightened their appearance.

When the door opened, it was Jiang Chun.

Jiang Chun stepped in and saw Jiang Xiaobai sitting behind a low table, with his hands in his sleeves, a cold expression on his face, and even a hint of disdainful smile.

Lin Bai sat a few steps away, very respectful.

Jiang Chun shook his head and sighed, thinking that since his younger sister was put in solitary confinement and built her foundation, she was no longer as cunning as before, and her temperament had become much more upright, like an elder. But she was also a little arrogant and cold, and she was okay with her family, but she seemed to look down on her old friends.

The difference in realm is a natural chasm. Life spans are different, abilities are ten times greater, and horizons are naturally different. Therefore, the circles are also different. Qi practitioners play with Qi practitioners, foundation builders play with foundation builders, and peasants play with peasants.

But Jiang Chun couldn't say anything. If he didn't make good progress, he would become more and more distant from Jiang Xiaobai in the future, and they wouldn't even be able to talk to each other.

"Did you remember what I said to you?" Jiang Xiaobai said in a light voice, looking like an expert.

What did you say? Apart from the matter of Qiaoshan Sect and Jiuyin Mountain, it was just humming and moaning.

"Senior, every word you say is like a pearl of wisdom. I am grateful for your guidance." Lin Bai bowed.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "If it weren't for Sister Gu and Pei Ning, I wouldn't bother to come to you!" She emphasized again and again, and even stopped calling Pei Ning sister.

After saying that, he stood up, nodded to Jiang Chun, and left.

"Alas." After Jiang girl left, Jiang Chun sighed and said, "She was building her foundation outside this time. I don't know how she became like this after she came back. Don't take it to heart."

"It's okay." Lin Bai said with a smile, "I'm very happy to be taught by her, so how could I be resentful?"

Jiang Chun was really touched to see that Lin Bai was not angry but so open-minded.

The two chatted about interesting things in Xinyifang for a while, and then Jiang Chun left.

After a while, Jiang Chun came back.

"Brother," Jiang Chun said angrily, "Who do you think I am? We have known each other for a long time, why do you do such a thing behind my back? How can I live with myself?" He was very angry.

The affair was exposed? Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly said: "Brother Jiang, I actually have my reasons."

"What's your difficulty? You don't consider me as a friend, right?" Jiang Chun sighed, "If you want to change places, just tell me. Why do you want to ask me to be the middleman? Could it be that with our friendship, I can charge you more spirit stones?" As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Bai.

After taking it and looking at it, it turned out to be a lease agreement. It was still the Underground Fire Cave Residence, but it was moved to a more spacious place.

And the contract is for ten years.

Jiang Xiaobai secretly changed the place for me? Or is it a ten-year lease?
Lin Bai was a little confused, thinking, is this a passionate love affair?
"Brother Jiang, I really have a problem." Lin Bai was the smartest and said immediately, "You and I are close friends. If I rent the cave, you must lower the price for our friendship. Wouldn't it hurt our brotherly feelings if we negotiate spirit stones? I don't have a close relationship with Senior Jiang Xiaobai, but she is a new foundation-building person after all, and she is also friends with Pei Ning. I'll ask her to talk to you, and your family won't make things difficult for you."

Lin Bai forced himself to make it up.

When Jiang Chun heard this, he believed it, but he was still filled with emotion.

After talking with him for a while, Lin Bai quickly packed up his things and followed him to the new cave.

After walking around for a while and heading south, we came to a quiet place. There were only three caves here, and they were very far apart.

Lin Bai took out the token and opened the door, then went in to take a closer look. It was more than six times bigger than before. In the middle was the reception area, on the right was the alchemy room, with a raging fire. On the left was the resting area, with a low bookshelf.

Each room is separated by a door, which is spacious and comfortable.

This place is quiet and few people come and go. Jiang Xiaobai has good intentions...

Hard work always pays off, so Lin Bai didn't have much to say.

"The other two caves are inhabited by two seniors who are in the late stage of foundation building. Both of them have great potential for achieving great success. They seldom go out and their personalities are pretty good." Jiang Chun explained the rules of this place again.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Chun left.

Lin Bai tidied up the room and took out the small Yin-Yang Cauldron to test the fire.

After refining several batches of elixirs, Lin Bai recalled the moment when Tie Huasheng was dying.

Tie Huasheng's original destiny is a rusty copper sword.

Gao Yuanyuan once said that there was a person whose destiny was similar to Tie Huasheng, and that he was a rusty iron sword. Senior Zhu Jianyang had also mentioned this person.

The two of them seemed to admire the man whose destiny was to have a rusty iron sword.

Lin Bai thought about it carefully for a while, and vaguely remembered the words left by the Nascent Soul that Senior Zhu Jianyang had brought back: sword!
The purity of its meaning is unprecedented in life.

“Could it be that those extremely pure words were left by the predecessor of my Rusty Iron Sword?”

Lin Bai had a vague feeling in his heart and felt that he should go to Zhu's house.

We just need to wait for Sister Pei to come. She is a real sword practitioner and we can take her to see the world.

Three days later, Jiang Xiaobai did not come to disturb them.

Three days later, a spiritual force came from outside.

When I opened the door, I saw a man standing with a sword in his arms. It was Pei Ning.

After not seeing her for a long time, she looked even more energetic. Her face was still very fair, and there was a hint of a strange smile between her brows.

Jiang Chun was beside him, "The person has been brought here." He smiled and saluted Lin Pei, then turned and left.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning returned the gift and closed the cave door.

Pei Ning smiled and stared at Lin Bai from head to toe for a while, then stepped forward to visit the new cave.

"Is it okay?" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Nature is wonderful."

Pei Ning nodded in approval. She held the sword and smiled, "I never thought you could find such a good place to sleep." She clapped her hands and smiled even more, "Lin Zhuanlun, thank you for your hard work."
