The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 273 Jiuzha Mountain

When he opened the door, he saw Mo Yingcheng with his hands behind his back, a big smile on his face, as if he was imitating his master.

Dugu Yan was behind, sticking his head out with a sneaky look, looking like a stupid thief.

After the greeting, Mu Zhen invited Mo Yingcheng in.

Mo Yingcheng went in immediately, and Dugu Yan followed him in.

The three golden elixirs sat opposite each other, while Dugu Yan stood by them.

The house has been cleaned, there is not a speck of dust in it, and there is no smell at all.

"Junior brother Zhuanlun, why didn't you tell me that you came out of seclusion?" Mo Yingcheng asked with a smile.

"I have some questions about cultivation, so I came to ask Senior Sister Mu for advice. I was just about to come find you." Lin Bai smiled frankly.

Mu Zhen closed his eyes and said nothing, as if the person in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Lin Bai knew that her interest was spoiled, which was why she was unhappy, but she just couldn't show it.

Mo Yingcheng looked at Mu Zhen, then at Lin Bai, with a hint of admiration on his face.

"Brother Mo, is the Jiuding Sect's secret trial realm about to open?" Seeing that he had a slightly strange look in his eyes, Lin Bai quickly changed the subject.

This time he came to Daoyin Sect for the Jiuding Sect's secret trial realm, to hone his Dao heart, which would be of great help to the formation of a baby in the future.

It was said before that it would take about one or two years, but I didn’t expect that only half a year had passed and the time had come to open it.

"Yesterday, Jiuzhashan sent a letter saying that the secret trial realm will be opened soon." Mo Yingcheng smiled, "I have already reported it to Master, and we can set off at any time."

"I can leave anytime." Mu Zhen opened his eyes.

"Me too." Lin Bai also said.

"No hurry, we'll leave tomorrow afternoon." Mo Yingcheng looked at Lin Bai with a smile and said, "I heard that you also forged and refined a batch of flying knives in Wangu Mountain. Are they easy to use? The trial secret realm may be dangerous. You haven't formed your elixir for long, so you need something handy."

"Mr. Dugu's skills are naturally extremely high." Lin Bai smiled and bowed to Mo Yingcheng and Mu Zhen, and then said: "Besides, with Senior Brother Mo and Senior Sister Mu here, why should I take action?"

The three of them chatted for a while, agreed on the itinerary, and Mo Yingcheng left.

Lin Bai originally wanted to go and report the news to Sister Pei, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Sister Zhen and made trouble again.

It was not until midnight that they went to Wenjian Mountain and brought Sister Pei down.

"I am going to travel far away for a few days. You should study the formation well here and don't get lazy."

Lin Bai took Sister Pei back to Daishan. Seeing Dugu Jing being so respectful, he couldn't help but think of his two disciples. His heart softened and he took out a book, "This is the experience I gained from studying formations in the past. Take it and have a look."

"Thank you, Mr.." Dugu Jing knelt on the ground and took it with both hands.

Lin Bai said no more and pulled Sister Pei inside.

"According to what Senior Brother Mo said, this trip shouldn't be very dangerous. But it is a trial after all, and I haven't been in the Dan stage for long, so it's inevitable that there will be some disappointments." Lin Bai said.

"Miao Miao and Jiang Yu have already established their foundations, and Xiu Xiu has Fairy Chen Yu, so there's no need for me to worry about them." Pei Ning said.

Do you think I'm entrusting you with your orphan?
"..." Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "I mean, I may have to stay longer."

Pei Ning smiled, "I understand what you mean. But don't get too caught up in it when you have a beautiful woman by your side."

"Don't worry." Lin Bai said confidently.

The two of them whispered a few more words and chatted about some irrelevant things. Seeing her tenderness and warmth, Lin Bai went to nudge her.

The next day, when Lin Bai went to the main hall of Daoyin Sect, Mu Zhen had already arrived.

"Pei Ning came to see me when you were in seclusion." Mu Zhen suddenly said.

"What do I want to talk to you about?" Lin Bai felt uneasy because Sister Pei never mentioned it.

"It's nothing." Mu Zhen smiled. "She saved my life on Golden Turtle Island and guided me on the flying boat. Shouldn't she come to see me and thank me?"

"What else did you say?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I just asked about the sword cultivation method, nothing else." Mu Zhen suddenly lowered his voice, "Are you worried that she would make me angry? Do you think I am a moody person? I can see that no matter how intimate we are on the bed, you care about her much more than me."

Why is she a little sour? But Sister Zhen is really sharp! Lin Bai could only explain: "After all, she is now in the foundation building stage. Unlike you, she has a sect and clan to rely on, and no Yuanying ancestors to protect her. Naturally, I have to care more about her."

In fact, Lin Bai and Sister Pei are truly dependent on each other for life and death. Someone who truly knows her inside out will naturally treat her differently.

"She has a high talent in swordsmanship, and her destiny is compatible with hers, so she is most suitable for practicing the group sword method." Mu Zhen smiled and suggested, "You should go and pay a visit to Chen Tianren and ask him to accept Pei Ning as his disciple."

"Is this... feasible? Will Chen Tianren agree?" Lin Bai actually had this idea a long time ago, but he just couldn't bring himself to speak up, and it was not easy for him to entrust others.

"Chen Tianren has a kind personality and Pei Ning is talented, so they won't refuse. If you can ask the Fox Gang for help, it will be even easier." Mu Zhen said.

"I understand." Lin Bai nodded. He planned to take care of the fox again after this trial and try to smooth its fur.

While the two were chatting, Mo Yingcheng and a middle-aged Jindan walked over. They were Wang Qixiu, who had discussed Taoism at Wenjian Mountain before.

This person is in the late stage and has the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

"Brother Wang is going to Jiuzha Mountain to visit a friend, and we will go with him." Mo Yingcheng explained.

"You two are both young talents. I am deeply honored to travel with you." Wang Qixiu was very polite, without any of the reserve of a late Jindan cultivator.

The four of them didn't say much, nor did they take a flying boat or anything like that. They just flew straight to the west.

Jiuzha Mountain is about three thousand miles away from Daoyin Sect, but Jiuzha Mountain is far vaster than Daoyin Sect. The mountains stretching for thousands of miles are all part of Jiuzha Mountain’s territory.

There are many sects and clans among them, and Jiuding Sect is the master of Jiuzha Mountain. Therefore, Jiuzha Mountain often refers to Jiuding Sect.

According to Mo Yingcheng, the Jiuding Sect had seven Yuanyings and many Jindans. Jiuzha Mountain was also rich in products and had many markets, the largest of which was three in total.

Xinyifang is far from comparable, and only Santongfang can be compared in scale.

The four golden elixirs flew through the air and headed a little west and northwest, when they saw an endless river.

This river is the Endless River.

The Endless River runs from east to west. Gu Qingshui had seen it before when he led Lin Bai across the Thousand Valleys Desert.

Following the Endless River, it took only two hours to reach the Jiuzha Mountain area, a distance of three thousand miles.

There were patrolling disciples coming and going, so the group did not dare to be careless. After they explained their purpose, they were allowed to pass.

We went deep into the Jiuzha Mountain, stopped and walked, and avoided the towns and villages on the way, because there were restrictions above the towns and villages, and people were not allowed to fly in the air.

After going around twice, we saw a high mountain a hundred miles away.

The mountain was who knows how many feet high it was, having already disappeared into the clouds, with occasional magical cranes and fairy birds flying by.

"This mountain is about a hundred miles in circumference and three thousand feet high. Most of it is usually hidden in the clouds. In fact, there are nine pillars supporting the mountain from the bottom. Because its shape resembles a tripod and the nine pillars are like the feet of a tripod, it was named Ding Mountain in ancient times. Now it is called Jiuding Mountain." Mo Yingcheng introduced to Lin Bai and Mu Zhen.

"It's really like the atmosphere of immortals." Lin Bai looked into the distance. The high places were blocked by clouds, while the low places were covered by dense forests, making it difficult to see the whole picture.

"Under the Jiuding Mountain, the Endless River runs through it." Mo Yingcheng pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "People say that the Endless River was cut by a mighty sword, but the Jiuding Mountain stands here, straddling both sides of the Endless River. It can be seen that the mighty also pity this mountain and can't bear to erase it."

Mo Yingcheng introduced it for a while, and then a female Jindan cultivator came over.

"Senior Brother Mo." The female cultivator had a good appearance, with her hair tied up and wearing purple clothes, and had a sweet smile. She was very familiar with Mo Yingcheng.

"Junior Sister Li." Mo Yingcheng greeted them with a smile, then looked at Lin Mu and the others and introduced them, "This is Junior Sister Li Wusheng, the disciple of the Lord of Jiuzha Mountain."

Hearing the name, Lin Bai couldn't help but think of Lu Qingyin, and she is from the Wu generation, the same generation as Xiang Wuhui... "These two are Junior Brothers Qiaoshan Lin Zhuanlun Lin, and Junior Sister Muzhen Mu. As for my Senior Brother Wang, you recognize him yourself." Mo Yingcheng was also very happy and introduced them to Li Wusheng with a smile.

The two sides greeted each other. Li Wusheng smiled and praised him with a few polite words like "Junjie". Then he did not mention the matter of leading the way, but started chatting with Mo Yingcheng instead.

The two talked for a quarter of an hour. Mu Zhen became impatient and sent a message to Lin Bai: "Mo Yingcheng is eloquent, well-versed in human relations, and not bad looking. I was wondering why there were no rumors of him having affairs in Daoyin Sect. It turns out that his lover is outside."

Lin Bai looked over and saw that Mo Yingcheng was unusually happy and a little shy; Li Wusheng, however, was much bolder. He grabbed Mo Yingcheng's sleeve and shyly called him brother.

"Brother Mo is really a man of few talents. I thought he was not interested in women, but I didn't expect that he would not even eat the grass at home." Lin Bai sent a message to Mu Zhen.

"You showed mercy many times in Qiaoshan, but when compared with him, the difference is obvious!" Mu Zhen said disdainfully.

Lin Bai ignored her.

After a while, even Wang Qixiu couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice, which made Mo and Li react.

"I'm going to look for Senior Brother Ye." Wang Qixiu bowed slightly.

"Brother, just take care of yourself." Li Wusheng finally reacted and agreed with a smile.

After Wang Qixiu left, Li Wusheng glanced at Mo Yingcheng again, then looked at Lin Mu and the others, "Come with me."

The four continued to move forward and soon arrived at the foot of Jiuding Mountain.

It looks majestic from a distance, and even more strange from up close.

I saw Jiuding Mountain towering thousands of feet high, and the foot of the mountain seemed to be hollowed out, with only nine pillars supporting it, and the Endless River running under the nine pillars.

The nine pillars were about the same size, with a circumference of about a hundred feet, but they looked much smaller when compared with the Endless River and the mountains above it.

Jiuding Mountain is so tall and magnificent, but it is supported by only nine pillars. It is truly a miracle of nature.

The four of them landed on a low hill at the foot of Jiuding Mountain, only a hundred feet above the Endless River.

There are nine pavilions on the mountain, the tallest of which is called Guanhe Tower.

The four of them stood on the platform at the top of the mountain, looking out over the river.

"Junior sister, the message you sent me last time said that the trial is about to begin. How long will it take?" Mo Yingcheng finally remembered the important matter.

"The entrance to the secret trial realm is currently showing signs of instability. It will take about two months to enter." Li Wusheng said with a smile.

"More than two months? Didn't the message say that it would be delivered soon?" Mo Yingcheng asked curiously.

Li Wusheng did not answer, but just tilted his head slightly, lifted his hair, and looked at Mo Yingcheng with a slightly resentful expression.

Lin Bai and Mu Zhen looked at each other and realized that Li Wusheng was missing his lover and was annoyed that his lover had not come for a long time, so he used his power for personal gain.

"Senior Chen has never taken care of the chores, and you are the one who handles them all. I think you are so tired, so I asked you to come earlier so that you can have a few days of leisure."

Li Wusheng's voice was soft and tender, and she whispered aggrievedly: "Or do you blame me for meddling in your business?"

"How could I blame you?" Mo Yingcheng stepped forward and grabbed Li Wusheng's hand.

Looking down at the rolling Endless River and looking up at the boundless Jiuding Mountain, the two of them became inseparable when faced with such magnificent sights of the world.

Lin Bai and Mu Zhen looked at each other and held their foreheads with their hands.

"Senior Brother Mo has always been steady and polite. Today he is really hungry." Lin Bai transmitted the message.

"I'm not like you. I sleep wherever I go." Mu Zhen replied.

"Sister Zhen, you're joking. I don't have any acquaintances in Jiuzha Mountain." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Eh? Isn't that Lin Zhuanlun?" A drunken female voice was heard. The two turned around and saw someone waving from the tall attic.

There was not just one woman, but two.

They are Qu Ruyi and Huang Ruhua.

Mu Zhen couldn't help but laugh.

Mo Yingcheng and Li Wusheng also sensed something was wrong and withdrew their hands.

"Ahem, Junior Brother Zhuanlun actually has an acquaintance here?" Li Wusheng looked at Lin Bai, and before Lin Bai could speak, she smiled and said, "You two can go and meet your friend."

She took out two tokens and said, "With these, you can travel freely in our sect. But you two should not move around recklessly. Some of these places are forbidden."

He gave the two tokens to Mu Lin and the other person, "You two should take a good look at the magnificent scenery of Jiuzha Mountain. I will come here to find you again tomorrow."

After dealing with Lin Bai and Mu Zhen, Li Wusheng looked at Mo Yingcheng and said, "My flower garden is blooming. Brother, would you like to go and see it with me?"

"That's exactly what I meant!" Mo Yingcheng agreed immediately, looked at Lin Bai and Mu Zhen, and saluted very embarrassedly.

"There are beautiful scenery ahead with high mountains and clear waters. Just go ahead, brother." Lin Bai was happy to help others.

Sure enough, Mo and Li happily agreed and went along the Endless River.

After the people flew far away, Lin Bai looked towards the attic again. Huang Ruhua and Qu Ruyi were still waving at him.

These two foundation-building juniors are not polite at all! Lin Bai held his head high and puffed out his chest, looking like a master.

When he took Mu Zhen up to the attic, he saw not only Qu Ruyi and Huang Ruhua, but also eight foundation-building monks, all of whom reeked of alcohol.

"This is Lin Zhuanlun, one of the Four Beauties of Qiaoshan. Before he established his foundation, I helped him and we had the honor of listening to Senior Wood Demon's teachings together. In fact, both of us have received favors from Senior Wood Demon and are his descendants."

Qu Ruyi's face turned red from drinking and she didn't talk to Lin Bai. Instead, she introduced the foundation-building skills to everyone.

When the foundation-building group heard this, they all bowed.

Lin Bai didn't know who the other three beauties in Qiaoshan were, but he just nodded slightly as a return gesture.

After hearing what Qu Ruyi said, Mu Zhen looked at Qu Ruyi for a second longer.

Seeing that Mu Lin was a senior Jindan, everyone decided not to interfere in his conversation and after paying their respects, they all left, leaving only Qu Huang and the other two.

There were only four people left in the attic, and Qu Ruyi and Huang Ruhua bowed to Mu Zhen again.

"I am Qu Ruyi from the Yunxia Sect, a junior. Nice to meet you, senior." After all, Qu Ruyi came from a big sect, and he did not lose his manners even when drunk.

"I am Huang Ruhua, a casual cultivator. I am here to meet you, senior." Huang Ruhua saluted stupidly.

Mu Zhen gently raised her hand, brushed the two of them away, and looked at Huang Ruhua with a smile.

Huang Ruhua was stunned for a moment, always feeling that this senior had bad intentions.

"I heard that Fairy Chenyu came to Jiuzha Mountain last time. Where is she now?" Mu Zhen asked.

"My master stayed there for more than a month and then returned to Mianlong Mountain." Huang Ruhua answered honestly.

Mu Zhen nodded slightly, then looked at Qu Ruyi and asked, "Are you Qu Chengjia's junior?"

"Yes." Qu Ruyi didn't think much about it and thought that Lin Bai had communicated with this female Jindan.

In the past, Mu Zhen was pursued by Qu Chengjia and had a deep impression of him. Later, when she heard that Lin Bai had severely defeated Qu Chengjia, she praised Lin Bai for his ability.

"I just heard that you are the closest descendant of Senior Mu Yao?" Mu Zhen asked with a smile.

Qu Ruyi scratched her nose and wanted to agree, but when she saw Lin Bai frowning, she suddenly had an idea and shook her head, "I'm not, he is."
