The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 266 News
The candlelight is faint.

After a long separation, we met again. In the dead of night, it was like returning to Huaxi County in a dream. There was no cicada chirping, but there was more sincerity.

Sister Zhen's appearance hasn't changed, and her temperament seems to be the same too. She's still a little awkward as she was back then.

Fortunately, Lin Bai had seen the world and had met many people in Qiaoshanye. With just a little guidance, she was able to remember the past.

"You're becoming more capable." Sister Zhen bit her lower lip and spoke in a sticky voice.

Lin Bai had dealt with Sister Pei many times, so he knew that he should not respond at this time, so he just remained silent.

When the moon reached its zenith, the two began to talk about business.

"Sister Zhen," Lin Bai looked just like he did in Huaxi County that day, "You seem to have not changed at all."

"How do you want me to change?" Mu Zhen leaned against the low table, picking up the lantern with one hand. His eyes regained some clarity and he said unhappily, "You're used to seeing the various things in Qiaoshan, so you're tired of the ones back home?"

"No way..." Lin Bai was shocked. He had just compared himself with Jiang girl in his mind. Although Zhen sister was slightly inferior, she was plump. Jiang girl, on the other hand, had small branches and large fruits, and was also delicious.

But I didn’t expect that Sister Zhen was the same as before. Even when she was in high spirits, she still used her brain and was discovered by her.

"Sister Zhen, what are you doing here?" Just like when he was in Huaxi County, Lin Bai liked to ask Sister Zhen questions while doing things.

"Don't you know that you came here to the secret realm to temper your Taoist heart?" Mu Zhen snorted lightly, suppressed his anger, and turned his head away from Lin Bai.

"Really? I don't believe it." Lin Bai stopped and did not move.

Mu Zhen ignored him. After a while, she finally lost her patience and looked directly at Lin Bai, saying, "You haven't changed at all. You're just trying to take advantage of me now!"

She sneered and said, "Today, either put on your clothes and talk, or take them off and do the work! It's your choice!"

"How about wearing half and taking off half?" Lin Bai found a compromise.

Mu Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Lin Zhuanlun, you are really capable now!"

She stretched out her jade arm, tapped Lin Bai's forehead, and said, "You were very afraid of me before, but you are not afraid now?"

"Hehe, I've never been afraid. It's the same today as it was before." Lin Bai said toughly, but still served obediently.

Mu Zhen hummed twice, and at first she showed some disgust, but after a few breaths, her slender waist slowly arched, and she grabbed Lin Bai's hair with one hand and put the other hand around the back of his neck, as if she wanted to press Lin Bai in.

Lin Bai wanted to say something, but his arms were already filled, and her legs were wrapped around him, so it was clear that he could only move forward and could not retreat.

Sister Zhen is good in every way, but she is not easy to fool. Lin Bai found that she was really the same as before. She would agree to any slightly excessive request, but she would ignore him if he talked about other things.

Lin Bai knew very well that his destiny was to serve others, so he stopped thinking about it and asking more questions. He just served with all his heart, hoping to make the beauty happy.

Sure enough, she used the same skills she usually used to deal with Jiang girl. Sister Zhen moaned and held on even tighter.

When the sky was slightly bright and the morning glow was reflected in the window, the two of them stopped to rest.

The candle flame lasted for a long time, and the two men's clothes were thrown far away, just talking together.

In the past, they met again when Zhen Jie was at the stage of Dan. After they separated, Lin Bai had many encounters with others. Without waiting for her to ask, Lin Bai told her everything.

There was no way to hide it anyway, so he briefly told the story of how he met the Zhu family, how he refined the elixir to survive, and finally how he got close to the Gu family.

It just omitted the stories about the women and did not go into detail about the two secret realms.

Mu Zhen listened in silence, with one hand under his head and the other hand holding Lin Bai's hand, drawing circles on his palm.

"You have always been able to be humble, flatter others, and dare to risk your life. It is not surprising that you have encountered such a situation."

Mu Zhen was not too surprised, but whispered: "Your body is now more than a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary person, and it feels round and natural."

"Sister Zhen, are you satisfied?" Lin Bai asked for credit.

"Just barely." Mu Zhen finally smiled and stared into Lin Bai's eyes. "You are proficient in alchemy and have made great progress in body tempering. This is rare."

"Since Sister Zhen is satisfied, I will come if you call me next time!"

Lin Bai didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Sister Zhen, what sect are you from? Where are you from?" Lin Bai was afraid that Sister Zhen would not want to tell him, so he grabbed her vital points.

Mu Zhen held Lin Bai's hand and said softly, "In the far west, you will know in the future."

Her voice was soft, and it was obvious that she was moved, no longer as rebellious as before.

Lin Bai knew that his efforts were not in vain, so he asked again: "Old Ancestor Gu asked about Li Xinghe before. Senior Mu obviously knew about it, but he didn't say much. I wonder what Li Xinghe's background is?"

Having said that, Lin Bai honestly told the story of the Wordless Secret Realm.

"I will tell you when you have achieved Nascent Soul." Mu Zhen smiled and kept the secret, "Your acquaintance with him is a great opportunity. Just like that wild fox in the mountains, with just a little help from him, he has already found the opportunity of the Great Dao. With his guidance, you will surely gain more. If you meet him in the future, you may as well ask for his advice."

Lin Bai nodded, knowing that Li Xinghe must be a person with extremely high cultivation, so he said no more.

After just asking two questions, Sister Zhen kept hiding the truth and showed no sign of being straightforward in bed, which made Lin Bai quite unhappy.

"Sister Zhen, what is the origin of Senior Wuxiang?" Lin Bai asked about his cheap master.

I asked Aunt Gu before, but she didn't know. I also asked Fox, but Fox was also vague.

Lin Bai guessed that the fox probably didn't know much. "The Taoist Wuxiang was the last Taoist to achieve enlightenment, and he has long since fallen." Sister Zhen really knew a lot. She blinked her eyes and whispered, "When you came here, you must have passed by the Thousand Valleys Sandy Land, which was one of the battlefields."

"One of?" Lin Bai had always thought that Qianhe Sand Land was the place for the great battle, but he didn't expect it to be just a battlefield.

"There are several other places. The four regions of east, west, south, north, and even Zhongzhou have all been places of fighting. But in the end, they all perished here. The Taoist master Wuxiang's temple is also here." Mu Zhen said.

Lin Bai couldn't estimate the strength of Taoist Wuxiang, but he thought it must be extremely high. And there was actually a powerful person who could kill him, how powerful must that be?

Lu Haike was so difficult to kill, and Master Wuxiang was so much more powerful. What kind of plan and arrangement could be used to kill a great cultivator who was proficient in both time and space?
"Who killed him?" Lin Bai asked in a low voice.

"I can't say it." Mu Zhen smiled, "Whatever you say will be known. Whether it's his nickname, name, or honorific title, he may hear it." Mu Zhen tapped Lin Bai's forehead, "You don't want to be targeted by him, do you?"

Lin Bai was stunned again. He had only heard that if a Nascent Soul reached the later stage, its perception would be extremely sharp. If someone planned a plan that could kill or injure it, it would be able to sense it in its heart. Even a Nascent Soul that specialized in a certain avenue could trace the source and avoid harm.

But now, just by mentioning the name and Dharma name, the person who was thousands of miles away could feel it. How high must this cultivation be? What great path did he cultivate?
"Eh?" Lin Bai was stunned, thinking of his own isolated deduction, and he seemed not afraid to mention the man's name.

After thinking about it, Lin Bai felt that there was no need to take the risk. Even if he was not afraid, Sister Zhen would not dare to say more.

"Let's talk about it later." Lin Bai sighed.

"Since you have inherited Senior Wuxiang's mantle, you might become that man's enemy in the future." Mu Zhen said with a smile.

"When I was at Wuxiang Tomb, I saw that Senior Wuxiang seemed to have a successor. If we are talking about enemies, I'm afraid it's not my turn yet, right?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Maybe they have already surrendered." Mu Zhen smiled.

"..." Lin Bai was speechless and asked in confusion: "Why didn't that great man destroy the Wuxiang Tomb?"

"How should I know?" Mu Zhen shook his head.

"So who is more senior, your ancestor or Senior Wuxiang?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Mu Zhen smiled but said nothing.

"Sister Zhen, how did you find me that day? How did your ancestor help you find me?" This was what Lin Bai was most curious about. Because the fog around him could isolate him from other people, he naturally could not trace her, but Sister Zhen found her.

"Now I can't find you anymore, so you don't have to be so scared." Mu Zhen smiled coquettishly, "The ancestor has a broken stone in his hand. I don't know where it came from. It seems to be a part of some round jade. It should be related to you in some way. The ancestor used his supreme magical power to find your approximate location."

Stones? Broken pieces? Lin Bai immediately thought of a stone plate.

"Can you give me that stone?" Lin Bai immediately stepped forward and said with loyalty, "Sister Zhen, since we are so close, your ancestor is naturally also my ancestor. I want to show my filial piety."

"Hehehe." Mu Zhen covered her mouth and chuckled, "First, let's fulfill your Gu Qingshui's filial piety."

The meaning is self-evident, but the filial piety you mentioned is different from the filial piety I mentioned, right?

There was no way. If this woman didn't want to talk, there was no way to pry her mouth open! Even if it was full, she would never say a single word!

"Sister Zhen still treats me as an outsider."

Lin Bai sighed, withdrew his hand, and was quite bored. Looking out the window, he shook his head and sighed, "Since arriving at Qiaoshan, Pei Ning and I have been helpless and have seen the ups and downs of life. Even though we have climbed up the ladder, we are still strangers and cannot find a home."

"Then whose girls did you sleep with in Qiaoshan? How many?" Mu Zhen asked.

"I make alchemy to make a living, and I curry favor with the Gu family to establish myself. It's really difficult... Alas." Lin Bai sighed.

"How many did you sleep with?" Mu Zhen asked.

"At that time, with Qu Chengjia outside, I could only hide my identity and use the name Yun Zhonghe. I was really trembling with fear and restlessness." Lin Bai sighed.

"How many?" Mu Zhen asked.

Seeing that Sister Zhen was not moved at all, Lin Bai did not dare to talk nonsense anymore and whispered: "Sister Zhen, it's great to see you."

"Hehe." Mu Zhen had a smile on his face.

"Sister Zhen, I know you are not here just for that secret realm. I wonder what else you are going to do? If you need me, please tell me!" Lin Bai said sincerely.

"Of course there are other things." Mu Zhen did not hide it. "Something happened in the Northern Wilderness. I met my uncle on the way, so I followed him to see him - to see you." She smiled gently.

"Northern Wilderness? If you go alone, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?" Lin Bai was very concerned. There had been a chaotic war in the area north of Qiaoshan before, and ten thousand miles to the north was the Northern Wilderness. It was heard that it was a wild land with a thousand miles of cold area, ice and snow all year round, very few cultivators, but many monsters.

"It's not that dangerous, it's just a training." Seeing Lin Bai's deep concern, Mu Zhen gently grabbed Lin Bai's hand, placed it on her chest, and whispered, "I'm not alone. There's someone leading the team. It's hard to hurt us easily."

"Then I feel relieved." Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither of them spoke. The sun was rising outside, and the sunlight from the window fell on the low table.

After a long while, Mu Zhen tilted his head slightly and asked, "What kind of body-tempering method are you practicing? It doesn't seem to be tempered by spiritual medicine or nourished by spiritual objects, but rather some kind of strange technique."

"It's the Hun Yuan method." Lin Bai answered honestly, "In fact, I have many questions about this body tempering method, and I would like to ask Sister Zhen for advice."

As he spoke, Lin Bai leaned forward and said, "Check for me to see if there are any mistakes or omissions in my repairs." He waved his sleeves and threw his clothes further away.

"Okay." Mu Zhen nodded.
