The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 204: The Blue Dragon Roars, the Sword Cultivator's Hair Turns White

The cave was dark, and everyone stepped back a few steps to watch Xiu Xiu perform the spell.

Behind Xiuxiu, there appeared the shadow of a deep pool with a full moon reflected in it and a green fox shadow above the full moon.

A faint watery scent spread out, followed by slight ripples.

Xiuxiu's eyes were deep, reflecting the moon. She held a bronze mirror in her left hand and pointed at the mirror with her right hand.

Ripples appeared on the bronze mirror, overflowing from the faint moonlight and reflected on everyone's faces.

In just a cup of tea, Xiuxiu put away the bronze mirror and smiled again.

"This is the method of asking for directions using the water mirror. It is even more magical when reflected by the moonlight." Yang said angrily.

"You can do it too?" Cheng Shuang patted Yang Chen's shoulder.

"I don't know, but the fairy told me before..." Yang Chen said in a low voice.

"Is it the Fairy Chenyu who attained the Nascent Soul stage and was raised by your family?" Cheng Shuang asked knowingly, and then said: "There is such a method to ask about good and bad luck, why didn't the Fairy teach you? I remember that she has been in your family for hundreds of years, right? How do you feel when your beloved daughter who you raised ran away with someone?"

Cheng Shuang just hit the nail on the head.

Yang Chen opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. He just clenched his fists, took two steps away, stood next to Lin Bai, and looked away.

"You should talk less!" Cheng Daojin scolded Cheng Shuang.

Cheng Shuang wanted to refute, but when she saw Lin Bai glaring at her, she lowered her head and muttered a few words, and indeed said no more.

Xiuxiu and Huang Ruhua looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything.

"How is it?" Lin Bai asked Xiuxiu.

"The road ahead is blurry, but there are no bad signs." Xiuxiu shook her head slightly, but with a smile on her face, and then said: "Let's go north first, there seems to be something mysterious over there."

"You are just too modest!" Huang Ruhua held Xiuxiu's hand to prevent her from grabbing Lin Bai's clothes. When she saw Lin Bai glaring at her, she also glared at him, like an old ox protecting its calf.

A former friend had ended up like this. Lin Bai didn't dare to say anything, for fear that she would reveal Jiang's misdeeds.

"We are heading north. Do you want to come with us?" Lin Bai looked at the Cheng siblings and Yang Chen.

They all know each other well, and only fools would do the same. Although the three of them didn't know much about Xiuxiu and Huang Ruhua, with Lin Bai as the middleman and the reputation of Fox as the shield, they naturally wouldn't have any wild thoughts.

"I would like to follow Brother Zhuanlun!" The Cheng brothers and sisters had traveled with Lin Bai for a while before, so they immediately became close friends.

"I would also like to follow Brother Yun... Zhuanlun." Yang Chen was much more polite, and bowed to Huang Ruhua and Xiuxiu, "Please take good care of me, both senior sisters."

"Then you have to follow us closely!" Huang Ruhua put her fingers in her mouth and whistled. "Xiaoqing!"

A gust of cold wind blew, and two lanterns were seen lighting up in the darkness in the far end of the cave.

A rustling sound was heard, and a green snake appeared.

“This is the Nine-phase Green Snake. It is good at swallowing and spitting, and can control the wind. But it looks like it bathes in starlight every night, which makes it a little strange. I guess it must have other magical powers.” Yang Chen, as expected, came from the Yang family, which used to raise foxes. He knew a lot.

"You are connoisseur!" Huang Ruhua nodded approvingly.

Everyone looked at the green snake again, and saw it slowly swimming forward, spitting out its tongue, and looking around at everyone. The snake's pupils were lively, and it was obvious that it had regained consciousness.

When it saw Lin Bai, the green snake lowered its head again and hissed twice, as if it was aggrieved.

"What is this legless beast saying? I didn't bully it!" When Lin Bai saw the green snake, he thought of the green fox, so he didn't give it a good look.

Hearing this, the green snake went around behind Xiuxiu.

"Xiaoqing has a good temper, don't say that to her." Xiuxiu really felt unfair, "She said that you have the blood of your companions in you, so she is a little afraid of you."

"I see." Lin Bai nodded slightly, looked at the green snake, and said, "The colorful deer was not killed by me, but by someone else. I only skinned and pulled out the tendons, you don't have to be afraid."

The green snake stepped back again, not daring to look at Lin Bai.

"You're just that brave?" Cheng Shuang was also disdainful. "Senior Sister Meng said earlier that she had contacted many people to make you move, but that's all!" She pulled Lin Bai again and asked curiously, "Is the stupid deer dead?"

Lin Bai nodded and said, "The person you and your sister met earlier was named Lu Qingyin, from Jiuyin Mountain. It was she who took Cailu's life."

Having said that, Lin Bai simply told everyone about Qin Fengyu so that everyone would be on guard.

After chatting, they started to find their way.

Lin Bai made the assignment, Cheng Daojin and Yang Chen were in the front, followed by Cheng Shuang and Huang Ruhua riding green snakes, and Lin Bai and Xiuxiu brought up the rear.

"Yang Chen is too young, Cheng Shuang is reckless and unwise, and Xiuxiu is not good at attacking. Without you to mediate, this trip will be difficult." Lin Bai comforted Huang Ruhua.

Huang Ruhua hummed twice as a response.

The six people and the beast moved forward slowly, stopping from time to time to correct their direction, but they did not encounter any danger.

"Have you learned the art of escape?" Xiuxiu had previously changed her position, so Lin Bai asked this question.

Lin Bai has now touched the edge of the Xinghe escape method, so he is naturally very curious. Moreover, Li Chenyu is proficient in this method and may have profound insights.

"It's not a way to escape, it's just a way to use a substitute." Xiuxiu explained carefully, "Using yourself as the shadow of the moon in the water, although it has the shape, it's just catching the moon in the water, not the real body. This is the way to escape that the fairy taught me."

"I see. Didn't Li Chenyu teach you how to fight?" Lin Bai asked.

"No." Xiuxiu smiled, "The fairy said that I am lucky, and someone will take care of the thorns ahead for me."

At this point, she held Lin Bai's hand, blinked her eyes, and said, "Thousands of miles away from home, I have not forgotten that I am a female doctor. Going up the mountain to collect herbs, practicing medicine, and seeing patients are all hardship. The road ahead is bumpy, and we should always stick together and support each other."

"Okay, the two of us, and Sister Ning, let's stick together!" Lin Bai grabbed Xiuxiu's hand.

Just as I was about to say something, the green snake in front came over in fear.

He spat out his tongue, didn't dare to look at Lin Bai, bowed his head again, and turned away.

"What message did Huang Ruhua ask Qing Snake to convey?" Lin Bai asked.

"It's not a good thing to say, so just don't ask." Xiuxiu's face turned a little red.

Seeing this, Lin Bai felt that it would be necessary to learn how to tame animals in the future.

"What did Fairy Chenyu ask you and Xiao Huang to do here?" Lin Bai talked about business with Xiuxiu.

"There are two purposes." Xiuxiu still pulled the corner of Lin Bai's clothes. She did not hide anything and said, "The first thing is to find the way to the great way."

"The road to the great Dao?" Lin Bai was extremely puzzled. "Li Chenyu had just formed his infant form not long ago, and he had already encountered a big problem in his cultivation?"

"I don't know." Xiuxiu shook her head obediently, "The fairy never told me."

"What about the other thing?" Lin Bai asked again.

"The fairy wants to ask about the whereabouts of her master." Xiuxiu said in a low voice.

"Li Wuya?" Lin Bai asked.

"That's right." Xiuxiu nodded and said, "When the fairy was young, she was rescued by Senior Li, who raised her for two years and taught her some knowledge. The name Chenyu was given by Senior Li. Later, Senior Li left without saying goodbye. The reason why the fairy left the mountain and went to the Yang family was to find out about Senior Li."

When this secret realm was opened that year, people from all three sects entered, but only four came out. They were Xiang Wuhui, the supreme leader of Qiaoshan Sect, Yin Wuqing, the master of Jiuyin Mountain, and Yun Wujiu, the master of Yunxia Sect. There was another person who had never shown up and his whereabouts were unknown. He was Li Wuya.

This person is quite mysterious, even Gu's Yuanying doesn't know his origin. I'm afraid only Xiang Wuhui and the other two who were traveling with him at the time know a little bit about him.

Now it seems that after Fox advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she still misses her master and even wants to ask him for the way to the Great Dao. How high is this Li Wuya?
Among Xiang Wuhui, Yin Wuqing and Yun Wujiu, only Xiang Wuhui was closest to the Transformation Realm, but he was still trapped in the secret realm, unable to move forward or backward. "Those who can come here are all in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Li Wuya is at least in the Nascent Soul Realm, why would Li Chenyu let you come here to look for someone?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"The fairy said that when one reaches the highest level of Taoism, one can ignore the rules of the big world, let alone the small world." Xiuxiu smiled and whispered, "The fairy said that Senior Li is nostalgic and might come in to take a look when this secret realm is opened."

Still nostalgic? Why didn't you go find this stinky fox? Lin Bai laughed at Li Chenyu in his heart, but he didn't dare to despise the fox's words.

Once you have achieved the Nascent Soul stage, your connection with the heaven and earth will become deeper, and any feelings in your heart will not be groundless.

If Li Wuya were to come here, given his level of cultivation, he would either be too lazy to bother with the small fry and not show up, or he would suppress his cultivation and pretend to be someone else.

Lin Bai thought carefully about the people he met in this secret realm. If they could be considered masters, the only ones were Lu Qingyin and Li Xinghe.

However, although Lu Qingyin is very good at fighting, has rich experience, and possesses many secret techniques, it is ultimately flashy.

But Li Xinghe was different. He only showed the secret technique of star escape and the method of trapping enemies, and did not display any other magical powers.

However, when Lin Bai thought back to his conversation with Li Xinghe, he felt that this man's vision, knowledge, and understanding were far superior to Lu Qingyin's.

Moreover, Li Xinghe's last name was also Li. When he talked to him about foxes before, he even called the foxes by their real names.

"Fortunately, I have always been kind to others. I will not offend others unless they offend me. I have no quarrel with Li Xinghe. On the contrary, I had a pleasant conversation with him because of the matter of saving Ye Ruoqing. He even gave me inspirational words from time to time."

“It’s always a good thing to do more good things.”

Lin Bai sighed for a while, looking at Xiuxiu, and couldn't help but think of Mr. Bai who saved the dying and the wounded.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiuxiu looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai didn't say much to Xiuxiu. Anyway, with Xiuxiu's personality, she would never make people angry for no reason. On the contrary, if she knew that Li Xinghe might be related to the fox, she would definitely ask about it.

Anyway, no matter who Li Xinghe is, just treat him as before, without flattery or pretending to be distant.

Of course, when it is time to ask for advice, you still have to ask honestly.

"Only those below the Jindan stage can enter this small world. Now it seems that Fox has been prepared for a long time." Lin Bai changed the subject, "But after she went to Jiuyin Mountain to form a baby, why did she choose the Jindan stage first when choosing the person to make a life contract with?"

"Play. The fairy said that we can just sit there doing nothing anyway." Xiuxiu said.

If this was said by another Yuanying, it would be disrespectful to the elders and not befitting of a high-level cultivator. But if it was said by a fox, it would be normal!
Lin Bai really didn't know what to say.

Chatting, we walked along the crooked passage.

Two hours later, there was a sudden movement ahead. When Lin Bai and Xiu Xiu approached, they found that it was a few Qi training sand scorpions, all of which had been killed, and the remains of their bodies had been swallowed by the green snake.

After walking for half a day, they actually met people. They were the brothers Chunyu You and Chunyu Che from the Chunyu family.

The Chunyu family and the Yang family are on good terms. Lin Bai had drunk with them in the past. With Yang Chen around, there was naturally no need to be on guard.

They communicated with each other, gathered into a team and moved forward together.

Heading north, they encountered a lone male cultivator from Jiuyin Mountain, who was killed by Cheng Shuang with a single sword.

After Cheng Shuang got the storage ring, he generously shared the profits with everyone. No matter whether anyone contributed or not, everyone got a share.

"Here you go!" Cheng Shuang took out a bottle of pills, opened it, smelled it, and threw it to Lin Bai. "Sea Cucumber Pill, it has the same effect as Tiger Wolf Pill. It will ensure that you can turn the wheel smoothly."

Lin Bai had no choice but to accept it.

They continued forward and saw a cliff.

It is unknown how deep the cliff is, and there is so much dust and fog that it is impossible to tell what is going on.

There was a faint light below, as if someone was fighting fiercely.

Cheng Shuang wanted to get off, but was stopped by Cheng Daojin. The Chunyu brothers didn't dare to move, and Yang Chen came to see Lin Bai.

Huang Ruhua and Xiuxiu also watched Lin Bai.

"Stop, let me go down and take a look!"

In times of crisis, heroes are more likely to show their true colors. At this moment, Lin Bai should take action.

Those who are capable should do more work. Lin Bai considers himself to be the most capable person in the group and it is his responsibility to take on the responsibility of protecting people in danger.

Moreover, there is no feeling of misfortune in my heart, and there is even a faint sense of good fortune.

Arriving at the edge of the cliff, Lin Bai handed Xiu Xiu to Huang Ruhua and said, "Take good care of her!" He then gently jumped onto the green snake's head and said, "Qinglong! Let's go!"

The green snake was stunned for a moment before realizing that it had turned into a green dragon. It glanced at Huang Ruhua, then gritted its teeth, opened its mouth and spit out wind, then its body floated up.

The snake's body curled slightly, carrying Lin Bai, the man and the beast, and went down the cliff at a very fast speed.

The cliff is high and the walls are deep. When the green snake rushed down, faint star marks were emitted from its body. It passed through the flying dust and mist, appearing and disappearing, like a real green dragon.

After flying down five or six hundred feet, the dust and fog dissipated, and then you could see the majestic scene.

A few miles ahead, among the broken rocks, there stands a huge and majestic stone gate.

The stone gate is more than ten feet high and sixty to seventy feet wide. It is mottled and dilapidated, as if it has experienced countless wind and frost.

The stone door was half open, and it was dark inside, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

Under the stone gate, there were five or six groups of people among the rocks and sand dunes.

Two others were fighting each other.

Both of them were women. One of them wore a light green Taoist robe and controlled many flying swords. Her sword intent was evident as she moved back and forth, and she was an extremely powerful sword practitioner.

The other man was dressed in black with white hair, and his figure was nimble. He dodged among the many flying swords, and his hands were sometimes making hand gestures and sometimes casting talismans, with a wider smile on his face.

Both of them were extremely beautiful, and their fighting showed their gracefulness and unparalleled beauty.

The sword cultivator took the lead in the attack with fierce power; the other female cultivator was calm and composed, and was able to resolve the attack with a wave of her hand.

"Why did Sister Pei fight with Granny Lu?"

"Why don't you see Qu Ruyi?"

"Oh, why is Sister Qu lying on the ground? Did she learn the earth escape and sand escape techniques?"

Lin Bai rode down on a green snake, and the green snake's whistling sounded like a dragon's roar.

The people watching the fight, including Pei Ning and Lu Qingyin, all looked over here.

Lin Bai didn't bother to interrupt Sister Pei and just stayed beside Qu Ruyi.

"Brother Li, Junior Sister Ye." Lin Bai jumped off the green snake's head and landed on the ground, then looked at another couple.

Yang Shu sat on the ground with his back against Gai Yingqiu, his face extremely pale, and forced a smile at Lin Bai.

Gai Yingqiu, however, forgot about her friendship because of the beauty and just nodded slightly at Lin Bai, "Go help Pei Ning." She turned her head and stared at Yang Shu.

"I rode the Azure Dragon, flew through the clouds and mist, and descended from the sky, just like the flowing light of the past." Li Xinghe smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I have gained something. It's really rare."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Li." Lin Bai smiled and patted the snake's head. The green snake then flew into the air again and went straight up to look for Xiuxiu and the others.
