The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 267 Other Matters
Another day has passed, and the moonlight is beautiful.

Lin Bai has never had a full meal since he formed the Dan stage, and Sister Zhen has never eaten since she formed the Dan stage.

After the two of them ate their fill, they each cleared their minds, put on their clothes, and didn't speak, as if they were a little ashamed of what had happened that day and night.

After burping, Lin Bai thought it was time to go back.

Staying here for a day and a night, I have neglected a lot of my practice and might even arouse suspicion.

After eating and drinking, and getting a lot of information, Lin Bai needed to go back and digest it.

"Sister Zhen, I'll leave first." Lin Bai was best at making decisions, and he waved his hand to clean up the filth in the place.

"When we were in Huaxi County, I was the one who took care of everything afterwards." Mu Zhen said faintly, "You are so skilled now. It seems that you have stolen a lot of people in Qiaoshan and have a lot of experience."

Lin Bai didn't expect that he would be caught doing something wrong even though he was being attentive, and he was stunned.

"Should I still come?" Lin Bai asked.

"Next time let's just talk about Taoism." Mu Zhen said.

It seems that he is just being stubborn, and everything else is comfortable. Lin Bai did not say anything, opened the door, went out, and closed the door again.

It was late at night, and the moon was high in the sky. Dugu Yan was waiting in the courtyard. When she saw Lin Bai coming out, she stood up and saluted.

"Senior, have you gained anything from discussing alchemy?" Dugu Yan saw that the two had discussed for a day and a night, and thought that both of them must have achieved great accomplishments in alchemy. Now that only Lin Bai came out, he must be slightly inferior.

"Of course I have gained something." Lin Bai put his hands behind his back, looked up at the bright moon, and sighed: "No wonder the predecessors always said that cultivation is not just sitting in one place, but also requires a lot of socializing with others. It is because of this that one can know one's own strengths and weaknesses, and understand the depth of others."

"Senior's words are thought-provoking." Dugu Yan looked serious yet perfunctory, as if he was just saying something casually.

"Has anyone been here?" Lin Bai asked again.

"No one ever wants to come here." Dugu Yan shook his head.

Lin Bai nodded, pointed his chin toward the door, and said, "Come with me."

"You..." Duguyan crossed her arms over her chest, "What do you want to do, senior?"

"What about fulfilling the contract?" Lin Bai asked.

"Please come in, senior." Dugu Yan bowed slightly and led the way.

After going out, the two walked down the mountain.

There is no one to guard Dugu Yan's place, so it seems that she lives alone here.

According to what Mo Yingcheng said, in the past, if the guests came to the sect for ordinary foundation-building pills, there would be a special place for them to rest. If they were distinguished guests, they would be specially arranged to stay.

Mu Zhen is undoubtedly a distinguished guest. The fact that he was arranged to stay with Dugu Yan must have been intended by Mo Yingcheng for the purpose of allowing Dugu Yan to consult and communicate with him.

The two walked along the mountain path, with birds singing and leaves rustling in the forest. It was extremely quiet.

Dugu Yan seemed to have something to say, but didn't dare to.

Lin Bai let his mind go and felt the night scene of Daoyin Sect.

"Pei Ning asked me to come find you to fulfill our promise, but I didn't expect that the Daoyin Sect's senior disciple would also be a person who breaks his word." Lin Bai sighed.

In fact, Lin Bai had no idea what had happened between Sister Pei and Dugu Yan.

"I was so drunk at the time..." Dugu Yan lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, feeling extremely ashamed.

"Haha," Lin Bai sneered, "I heard that sword cultivators cultivate their minds before they cultivate their swords, and they are fearless and upright. You got carried away for a moment, could you possibly take back the flying sword you launched?"

Dugu Yan remained silent and sniffed in grievance.

"What happened between you and Pei Ning? Tell me in detail." Seeing that he had bullied her enough, Lin Bai revealed his purpose, "I am not unreasonable, just tell me the truth."

"Didn't Pei Ning tell you?" Dugu Yan asked in a low voice.

"It is wise to listen to both sides. I naturally need to listen to what you say." Lin Bai said.

Dugu Yan was confused. She suddenly felt that this senior Zhuanlun was quite sensible and did not look like a lustful person. Moreover, he chatted with the younger generation of the wood demon about the way of alchemy for a whole day and night, so he must be a person who is obsessed with cultivation.

Thinking that most people who are obsessed with alchemy and talisman making are somewhat dull, Dugu Yan felt relieved, "Senior Zhuanlun, you are a good person."

She immediately started to tell the whole story.

It turned out that the fox brought Pei Ning to Daoyin Sect and then left Pei Ning to Min Hengbo.

Sister Pei was the calmest of the lot, concentrating solely on her cultivation, and was quite liked by Min Hengbo, who was also a sword practitioner.

Originally, Dugu Yan was not a person who liked to go out, and she was not an arrogant person, so she would not run into Sister Pei.

But the fox has a talented disciple named Huang Ruhua, who has been hanging around in the Daoyin Sect.

Huang Ruhua knew Pei Ning and knew that her sword skills were sharp, but Huang Ruhua was not like her master and was not a person with a bad mouth.

Then Qu Ruyi came. Huang Ruhua was good friends with Xiuxiu, so she was naturally close to Qu Ruyi. Qu Ruyi was always good at making friends, and after Huang Ruhua introduced her, she quickly hooked up with Duguyan, who was of the same age.

After drinking, Qu Ruyi boasted about all the heroes, which aroused Dugu Yan's interest, and he ran to challenge Pei Ning to a duel of swords.

Pei Ning was introverted and naturally did not want to compete, but Dugu Yan was very determined and would go to find Pei Ning every now and then.

Qu Ruyi and Huang Ruhua were extremely bored and kept adding fuel to the fire. Pei Ning finally lost his patience and accepted the sword fight.

But Dugu Yan was only good at talking, while Pei Ning was good at swordsmanship. After an hour-long fierce battle, the winner was decided.

Originally, this matter would have passed with a laugh. Although Dugu Yan was defeated, he was only slightly inferior and it was not a loss of face.

But Dugu Yan was not convinced, and always felt that Pei Ning was only slightly stronger than himself, so he came up again and wanted to fight with swords for no reason.

After winning three times in a row, Pei Ning finally lost her patience and said that she had a Taoist partner and if Dugu Yan lost again, she would become his mistress. Dugu Yan was confident that she could win and didn't take it seriously, so she naturally lost again.

Afterwards, Pei Ning asked her to prepare, and also asked her to borrow the dual cultivation method from the sect, so that Dugu Yan could learn it first.

Dugu Yan finally realized that Pei Ning was serious and was so scared that she dared not challenge Pei Ning to duel again.

"Senior Sister Min said that I pestered Pei Ning to duel with me, which was not in accordance with etiquette, and punished me to serve in front of the palace." Dugu Yan was dejected, "If she knew that I had lost my innocence..."

Duguyan grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice: "Only you, Pei Ning and I know about this matter. Please don't spread it."

"Then have you found a way to practice dual cultivation?" Lin Bai knew that Pei Ning had always been sensible, and the fact that Dugu Yan could make Pei Ning do such a thing showed how long Sister Pei had tolerated Dugu Yan.

"I've searched...searched, but it's meaningless." Dugu Yan muttered.

"..." Lin Bai looked at her and thought that she was an honest person.

"I was just a little bit off, just a little bit!" Dugu Yan was very annoyed. She stretched out her little finger and waved it in front of Lin Bai's eyes. "Every time I was just a little bit off, she was so lucky!"

Silly child, since you are always a little inferior, you should know that you are not inferior by just one or two levels!

"Sister Ning is so nice." Lin Bai sighed.

"Pei Ning is really good." Dugu Yan also sighed, and then whispered: "Senior, I have pledged my life to the sword, and I don't plan to get married in this life."

Pei Ning had said the same thing before, but in the end... Lin Bai nodded slightly and said, "You are a man with a heart for swordsmanship, and you are Chen Tianren's beloved disciple, so I will not force you. But an agreement is an agreement after all, and I have never heard of a disciple from a noble family breaking an agreement."

Dugu Yan was startled.

"Although I am an alchemist, I respect sword cultivators the most in my life." Lin Bai said casually, "How about this, let's put this matter aside for now, I will talk to Pei Ning, and you can just focus on your cultivation."

Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Senior Zhuanlun, you are a good person!"

"It's just a small matter. I won't talk nonsense." Lin Bai waved his hand, "I came to discuss the matter of the elixir with Senior Sister Mu. You don't have to talk nonsense."

"Of course." Dugu Yan agreed immediately.

Lin Bai glanced at her and thought to himself that Miaomiao can even make you stupid.

After chatting for a few more words, asking about cultivation and giving some pointers, Lin Bai saw that he had her under control, so he returned to Daishan in the night.

He went into the house and sat quietly, set up a warning formation, and came to the stone plate.

The mist was thick and dense, and there seemed to be stars shining in it. There was a tiny wisp of emerald green, and the moonlight became darker.

The broken cracks are still there on the stone plate, and there are many strange patterns on it.

Lin Bai's mind moved, and the mist came in front of him, transforming into the wooden house where he and Sister Zhen played.

The candlelight on the low table was dim, reflecting the shadows of two people.

This time, he humbled himself and sacrificed himself bravely, which really opened Sister Zhen's mouth a little and revealed a lot of things he had never heard of before.

The first thing was the broken stone that concerned himself. Lin Bai had a vague feeling that it should be his own life object, just incomplete.

If one can find the place where one's own destiny lies, it will be extremely beneficial to one's practice.

Moreover, after reaching the Golden Core Realm, one can sacrifice and refine one's own magical treasure. If one refines it with one's own magical treasure, it will naturally be more powerful and more suitable for oneself.

However, there are thousands of original destinies, and many cultivators cannot find their own original destinies in their entire lives. They can only replace them with similar objects, or even only objects that are compatible with themselves can be refined into magic weapons.

Lin Bai had already found a replacement, which was the black and white Yin-Yang gourd.

But if he could find his natal stone plate, Lin Bai would naturally be willing to give it a try.

I don’t know how high up Sister Zhen’s ancestor is. I, a mere Jindan, don’t even have the qualifications to meet him, let alone ask for treasures.

But Sister Zhen’s ancestor seemed to value the broken stone plate very much, which also shows that the stone plate is indeed of extraordinary origin and extremely powerful.

"Judging from Sister Zhen's tone, her ancestor should be as good as the Taoist Master Wuxiang, or maybe slightly inferior."

After knowing that he would no longer be pursued by Zhenjie's ancestors, Lin Bai felt relieved. She didn't have any hostility towards him, but he still had to serve Zhenjie well, as he might need Zhenjie to introduce him to someone in the future.

After thinking this through, Lin Bai began to ponder the relationship between Li Xinghe and Taoist Wuxiang.

"In Wuxiang's old residence, Li Xinghe said that the world is like an inn, and we are all just passers-by."

"At that time, he seemed to be paying tribute. Could it be that he went deep into the secret realm to see the Taoist Master Wuxiang? Are they friends?"

After pondering for a while, he got nothing. Lin Bai didn't think much about it. After all, he had been taught by others, so he would do as he pleased when they met in the future.

After sitting quietly for a while, Lin Bai emptied his mind and closed his eyes to practice.

After forming the elixir, things happened one after another. Although he did not show filial piety to Aunt Gu, he met his old lover, and then he would go to the secret trial realm.

According to what Mo Yingcheng said, it will be opened within one or two years, which is very urgent. Lin Bai not only needs to take care of his cultivation, but also needs to sacrifice his life magic weapon as soon as possible so that he can have a backup plan.

Two days later, Mo Yingcheng came to the door.

"I heard that someone saw you going to Yushan Mountain a few days ago. How is it?" Mo Yingcheng smiled mischievously.

"I just went to discuss the method of alchemy." Lin Bai told the truth.

"I see." Mo Yingcheng stepped forward and grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve, saying, "Senior Gu is here to question you."

"Ah? What's the matter? Is she going back to Qiaoshan?" Lin Bai asked.

"That's not what I said." Mo Yingcheng shook his head. "Actually, it's Senior Mu Yao who wants to see you." He raised his eyebrows, as if there was something meaningful behind it.

Could it be that Senior Mu Yao knows that I slept with his descendant?
Lin Bai smiled openly, "I have wanted to meet Senior Mu for a long time!"
