The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 258 Perfection
Another day passed, when Lin Bai was preaching to Gu Wushang and Zhu Yuhuan, Gu Fang came over with the Cheng brothers and sisters and Qu Ruyi.

Cheng Shuang was as impolite as usual, "I heard that you are a fox that kills two birds with one stone. With your bravery, you not only ate Xiu Xiu, but also Fairy Chen Yu!"

She never said anything nice when she opened her mouth.

"That's right." Qu Ruyi actually chimed in.

"Sister Shuang, Junior Sister Qu, how ridiculous!" Cheng Daojin couldn't bear it anymore. "This is because Brother Zhuanlun is very capable, but there is no need to say more! You just need to think about why others can't do it, but Brother Zhuanlun can? Is the name 'Zhuanlun' just a false name?" He held Lin Bai and apologized in a low voice, "My sister is ignorant, don't mind it." He also took out a bottle of Tiger and Wolf Pills as an apology.

As if you are sensible! Lin Bai has no temper.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuhuan and Gu Wushang were stunned and looked at Lin Bai as if they had just met him.

Lin Bai saw Cheng Shuang with her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew, and Qu Ruyi holding a folding fan, looking nonchalant, not at all like a child of a noble family!
"Fairy Chen Yu is now in Grandmaster Gu's Water Curtain Cave," Lin Bai threatened, "If you two really want to know the inside story, just go and ask."

Sure enough, when the name of the fox was mentioned, Cheng Shuang covered her mouth in fear, and Qu Ruyi couldn't even put away her folding fan.

Appearing fierce but being weak inside only makes people laugh!
Seeing that he had frightened them, Lin Bai invited them to sit down.

"Lin Zhuanlun," Cheng Shuang slowed down, not daring to mention the fox again, but asked in a low voice: "I heard that Sect Leader Yue's death was related to you, and He Wenyao also said it himself."

Since Lin Bai returned to Qiaoshan, he would ask everyone he met, and only Gu Feixue was a person of noble character.

"How can I be a match for Master Yue?"

Lin Bai frowned and acted helpless, "Master Yue is a man in the late Jindan realm. Not to mention me, even if three or five foundation building masters join together, it would be difficult to hurt him at all!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai looked around at everyone. Seeing that everyone was enjoying the conversation, but still had a look of disbelief, he continued, "People say that even a centipede dies but remains in place. For a person like Sect Leader Yue, external forces cannot kill him instantly. He can only be broken from the inside."

He pointed in the direction of Jiuzha Mountain and whispered, "The secret treasure is so exciting. It was He Wenyao who attacked and murdered Sect Leader Yue and took the treasure away. Alas, poor Sect Leader Yue loved him like his own son, but he was betrayed! I don't know how painful it must be!"

"Does He Wenyao have the guts to do that?" Cheng Shuang didn't believe it, tilting her head and muttering, "Anyway, both of you are too scared to come back, so one of you must be not innocent."

"Sister Shuang, how ridiculous!" Cheng Daojin couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "Why can't they both be innocent? Why can't it be Brother Zhuanlun and He Wenyao working together?"

Are these two siblings here to pick a fight? Seeing that the truth was about to be revealed, Lin Bai quickly poured some tea and changed the subject: "Senior Sister Cheng, Senior Sister Qu, speaking of the matter with my evil disciple, I have to thank you for turning things around."

Miaomiao got into trouble before and after she established her foundation, and both Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect were involved. If she hadn't been quick-witted and found many people to help speak up for her, she would probably still be in solitary confinement now.

Lin Bai didn't need to thank Jiang Yatou and Sister Huanhuan. Qu Ruyi was also an old friend, so there was no need to say more. Gu Yao and Gu Feixue were Miaomiao's masters, so they should help, but they had to recognize Cheng Shuang's favor.

"It's all a small matter. I like that girl too!" Cheng Shuang patted her slightly exposed chest. "She is a sister of Ye Ruoqing's sister. I have to give her some face!"

Qu Ruyi stared at Lin Bai with resentment and whispered, "Senior Sister Meng and Junior Sister Song also contributed."

Although Lin Bai had a bad relationship with Qu Chengjia, she had a good relationship with Qu Ruyi. In the past, when she asked her to take care of Xiuxiu, she really treated Xiuxiu like her own sister, and later they had a friendship of life and death, and she did not treat herself and Pei Ning as outsiders.

Although one does not need to remember a favor for one's whole life, Lin Bai and Pei Ning are both nostalgic people and know how to repay a favor. They did not kill Qu Chengjia earlier only for Qu Ruyi's sake.

"If I meet you again in the future, I will thank you very much." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"It's better not to encounter it." Qu Ruyi muttered.

"Xiu Xiu's letter to you." Lin Bai took out a leaf. It was a mulberry leaf. After drying, it became as strong as cloth. However, it was not as useful as paper. But Xiu Xiu had a lot of free time and loved to tinker with these little things.

Qu Ruyi took the letter and read it carefully, and soon a smile appeared on her face.

In fact, there was nothing important in the letter, mostly just Xiuxiu's gossip. Something about the seventh generation of moles that Lin Bai had castrated, and something about Fairy Chen Yu being in a bad mood recently and not letting him touch her belly...

Everyone chatted for a while and then started a Taoist meeting.

After a day passed, everyone dispersed.

Lin Bai and Qu Ruyi stayed until the end, chatting about their own plans.

"You've been away for so long, why don't you return to Yunxia Sect?" Lin Bai asked.

"The ancestor ignored me and I have no face to go back." Qu Ruyi sighed.

"In that case, then concentrate on your practice. Once you swallow the pill into your stomach in the future, who can stop you from going back?" Lin Bai gave an idea.

"That's not very interesting." Qu Ruyi shook his head. "What about the golden elixir? The ancestor is still injured, his cultivation has greatly decreased, and he no longer has the desire to improve. The leader of Yue Fengshu's sect has also died."

"It's just that their cultivation is too low." Seeing that she was depressed, Lin Bai quickly patted her shoulder and comforted her: "If you give up when you encounter a little setback, how can you accomplish anything? With your temperament, you should ride the wind and waves and travel far and wide."

Qu Ruyi tilted her head and looked at Lin Bai, then nodded after a while.

"Has the theory of alchemy been drafted?" Lin Bai asked again.

Qu Ruyi shook her head like a rattle.

"Draft a theory on alchemy as soon as possible, and don't be discouraged." Lin Bai patted her shoulder again, "I always remember how heroic you were when I first met you, and how curious you were about everything. How about now?"

“Isn’t this growing up?”

Qu Ruyi sighed again and said weakly: "My birth name is Qingyu Ruyi, and my name is Ruyi. But in this world, no matter if you are an ordinary person who has not entered the Tao, or a great man who can move mountains and fill the sea, who can be as good as he wants?"

She was quite emotional.

"Nine out of ten things in the world are not satisfactory, why do you want everything to be satisfactory?" Lin Bai smiled and advised: "If you can achieve three out of ten things, it will be satisfactory. If you can achieve five or six, it will be a blessing from heaven."

Qu Ruyi nodded, "What you said is exactly the same as Xiuxiu's."

"So you should practice meditation well, whether you are in Qiaoshan or returning to Yunxia Sect. Pei Ning, Xiuxiu and I are always thinking of you." Lin Bai said.

"No." Qu Ruyi raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Bai, with a smile on her face, and said softly: "I plan to go to Daoyin Sect, travel more, and draft a theory on alchemy first."

"..." Lin Bai looked at her eyes and knew that she must have made up her mind a long time ago, so he took out the fox fur and said, "When you go on a long journey, you always need to prepare some escape supplies." Qu Ruyi patted the purse on her waist and said, "Xiu Xiu gave it to me a long time ago!"

Xiuxiu has never given it to Sister Pei!
Lin Bai couldn't say anything, but just gave her a few more instructions and asked her to go to Daoyin Sect to look for Pei Ning.

"Then I'm leaving." Qu Ruyi took out two letters, "One is for Xiuxiu, and the other is from Jingxian to you."

She held the letter written by Song Jingxian, looked at Lin Bai carefully again, and whispered, "Don't get tired."

As he spoke, he threw the letter to Lin Bai and said, "Open it and take a look!"

Lin Bai took it and opened the envelope. Qu Ruyi came forward and stood on tiptoe to look at it.

The handwriting is beautiful, and it is obvious that it was written by a gentle and virtuous woman.

The letter didn't say anything big. It first talked about the sadness of separation after not seeing each other for a long time, then said that he had met Miaomiao, and finally asked a few questions about the formation. It didn't say much else.

"Brother, if you have time, please answer my questions. I am looking forward to it..." Qu Ruyi spoke in a pinched voice.

Lin Bai suddenly felt that it was a good idea for Qu Ruyi to go to Daoyin Sect. Otherwise, if she stayed in Qiaoshan any longer, who knows what she would become from learning from Cheng Shuang!

"It's not like there are no people in the sect who understand formations, but they come to ask you!" Qu Ruyi sneered.

Lin Bai didn't dare say anything. He just put away the letter and couldn't help but think of Song Qing again.

The two chatted for a while and then said goodbye.

Within two days, Qu Ruyi sent an invitation to a group of people to go to Fengming Mountain for a drink. Not only the Cheng family, but also the Yang family, Gu Yao and Gu Fang were there, and even the Jindan Sect and various families had people invited.

She has been in Qiaoshan for a long time and has a wide network of contacts, including men, women, young and old.

After three days of drinking at Fengming Mountain, Qu Ruyi said sadly that she was going to Daoyin Sect. Lin Bai then said that Cheng Yi would send her off, and the Cheng brothers and sisters immediately took action. When the others saw this, they had no choice but to follow him.

Those who don’t bring spirit stones will be given magical instruments, spiritual weapons, or elixirs and spiritual herbs.

Qu Ruyi accepted a lot of gifts with a smile, and later returned the gifts from the Cheng brothers and sisters and Lin Bai, gave them some extra benefits, and then ran away at night.

From then on, there were no more distractions, and Lin Bai focused on meditation. If he felt bored, he would go to Sister Huanhuan to drink and chat, or go to the Jiang family to discuss Taoism.

Half a year passed, and Miaomiao and Jiang Yu came back.

"Master, you should form the elixir as soon as possible! You have low ability and you will be bullied as a disciple! It's okay if Master's wife is here, but if she is not, I..." Miaomiao was indignant.

This girl has always been cunning. When she was bullied, she would just fight back secretly. Now she opens her mouth to complain, which shows that she was severely bullied by the fox.

"Fairy Chen Yu has given Senior Sister a few more nicknames and has been lying on Senior Sister's head all day long." Jiang Yu is an honest man, so he naturally tells the truth.

It seems that he was indeed bullied!

"It's difficult for you, it's difficult for me, and we all have to do it reluctantly!"

Lin Bai didn't have a temper either, "Who hasn't been bullied by a fox? I've been bullied too! You know, God will not let down those who work hard. The three of us should learn from our mistakes and then be brave!"

After sending away the two stupid disciples, Lin Bai abandoned all other matters, practiced in seclusion, and stopped tempering his body, only seeking perfection.

Now that he has reached the ninth level of foundation building, his sea of ​​consciousness is stable and can be used at will. His sea of ​​energy is vast and contains a lot of spiritual energy, like a river or sea, waiting to condense into a golden elixir.

The so-called state of perfection is when the sea of ​​qi and the sea of ​​consciousness are connected from the inside out, the mind is open, and then one can communicate with heaven, earth and man.

Generally speaking, it takes at least a year to complete the foundation building, and it may take an unknown amount of time. It may not be achieved in a lifetime, or it may be achieved after experiencing something or meeting someone.

Another half year passed, and Lin Bai still failed to achieve his goal.

"Just have no distracting thoughts." Gu Jiuzhong said.

"If you have no idea, go find something fun." Yang Shaoan said.

"The Foundation Establishment Stage is the foundation of the Great Dao, and the Golden Elixir is the first step. There is no need to rush." ​​Zhu Jianyang explained.

Lin Bai had no choice but to talk to Sister Huanhuan and then went to the Black Tower to chat.

Finally, he came to Gu Yao's cave and stirred the water himself, but Aunt Gu didn't react at all.

"Auntie Gu's mess is really hard to stir up."

After muttering to himself for a while, Lin Bai went back to his practice.

Three months later, Lin Bai suddenly heard a sound of thunder inside his flesh and blood chest. It seemed to be everywhere, yet it was hard to find its trace.

When you come to the stone plate, you will see stars hanging and rivers rushing.

The fog rolled in and became thicker.

The stone plate was vibrating slightly, and the cracks in it seemed to be closing.

He opened his eyes and refined a furnace of Tiger and Wolf Pills, "Give it to Yang Shu."

Hand the pill to Gu Lianzhu and ask him to deliver it.

Lin Bai found Gu Yao's cave.

The foundation is built perfectly and the elixir is about to be formed. Naturally, he has to meet Aunt Gu before facing the calamity.
