The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 295 Believers
"When I was your age, I had already started refining pills. Master can't do without me for a moment, otherwise nothing can be done!"

On Fengming Mountain, Miaomiao was wearing a tight black dress, holding a scroll in one hand and the other hand behind her back, and was frowning as she taught a Taoist boy of about eleven or twelve years old.

She is not much older, but she is at the foundation-building stage after all, and has a master who is a high-level Jindan cultivator. Naturally, her temperament is different, and her status in the Zhu family is also very high.

But after all, she was young and looked like a girl, so she didn't look really fierce. She just copied the way her master used to teach her.

"Speaking of which, according to the seniority of the family, you are still my uncle, of the same generation as Zhu Yushu, who is already the head of the clan. How can you live in the future if you can't learn this or that all day long?"

Miaomiao's voice is tender, but she is very powerful when she scolds people.

The child finally couldn't bear it anymore. He sniffled, his eyes turned red, and he burst into tears.

"Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry! When I was your age, Master beat my butt to pieces, but I didn't even say a word!" Miao Miao kept scolding him. "Fellow monk, you must have some backbone!"

After talking about some nonsense like "strict teachers produce excellent students" for a while, Miaomiao sent the man away and took out the book in her hand to read.

After a while, a girl of six or seven years old came running over.

"The clan leader said that a fellow Taoist from the Yunxia Sect has arrived, and asked my elder sister to go meet the guest." The little girl said in a baby voice.

When Miaomiao heard this, she guessed that it was either Meng Yuan, Song Jingxian, or Qu Ruyi. Now that the ancestor of the Cheng family had just passed away, someone from the Yunxia Sect would definitely come.

After tapping the girl's forehead, Miaomiao immediately stood up and went to the Fengming Mountain Hall.

Sure enough, it was Qu Ruyi and Huang Ruhua, who were accompanied by Zhu Yushu and his wife, and were chatting.

"In the blink of an eye, Miaomiao has grown so big!" Qu Ruyi liked Miaomiao very much when she saw her. "She looks smarter than Xiuxiu. She is worthy of being brought up by Lin Zhuanlun."

"Regardless of Lin Zhuanlun's character, his vision is really good. Miaomiao and Jiang Yu are both first-class in appearance and have good aptitude. They have both established a foundation in the blink of an eye." Huang Ruhua also sighed.

Miaomiao bowed first, then asked, "Sisters, is my master back?"

"In Qiaoshan." Qu Ruyi said with a smile, "I came here yesterday. Xiao Huang and I went to Cheng's house first, and came to see you today."

"..." Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Master has come back tired from traveling so far, and there is no one to lead him. I have to go and serve him."

As he spoke, he bowed again, winked at Zhu Yushu twice, and then walked away.

"Alas, a man like Lin Zhuanlun can actually have such a well-behaved and sensible disciple." Qu Ru couldn't help but envy Miaomiao as she saw her in a hurry, as if she wanted to show filial piety in front of her master.

"Who says it's not true?" Huang Ruhua was also very touched. "Lin Zhuanlun is so lucky that his parents are gone after he wants to take care of them."

The two girls kept clicking their tongues, while Zhu Yushu and his wife looked at each other in silence.

Miaomiao hurried out of Fengming Mountain, came to Xinyifang, and rushed to Yuhu without stopping.

She is now a senior who has established her foundation. She has lived in the Jiang family for a long time and is a senior sister to Jiang Yu. Therefore, no one dared to stop her and they all saluted her one by one.

When you arrive at Yuhu Lake, you will see the black tower. Not far away is a small courtyard with a bamboo house.

Crossing the Yu Lake, we came to the balcony on the shore, where a little girl was fishing.

Miaomiao saw the girl dozing off with her head nodding while holding a fishing rod, so she picked up a piece of bluestone and threw it into the river.

Sure enough, the girl was awakened and rubbed her eyes, only to find that it was Miaomiao.

"When your aunt was a doorman for Senior Jiang, she was very careful and never dozed off!" Miaomiao pointed her finger at the girl's forehead and immediately tapped her butt. "I never made any mistakes when I was guarding the door for Master. You dare to take a nap during the day, so I will punish you by not having any sleep for a month."

The girl was stunned for a moment and almost cried out of grievance.

"Don't bully her." Jiang Yu walked out of the bamboo house.

She was wearing a light-colored Taoist robe and a lotus crown on her head. She stood straight and was taller than Miaomiao.

Miaomiao smiled happily, pinched a part of the girl's face with both hands, and pulled it apart.

Jiang Yu stepped forward to help the girl up, gently comforted her, and let her go to play aside. Then he asked, "Senior Sister, why did Senior Zhu let you out?"

"I can come out whenever I want. Who can trap me?" Miaomiao smiled confidently.

"Master said that pride brings harm, while humility brings benefit. Sister, don't be proud and complacent." Jiang Yu said seriously.

"Sister Xiaoyuer is right." Miaomiao accepted the teaching sincerely and said, "Master is back."

"Ah?" Jiang Yu was startled. "What should we do? What we did is not appropriate. I'm afraid Master will be unhappy."

"I'll take the responsibility." Miaomiao straightened her chest, patted her chest, and said, "Anyway, I'm the mastermind, you're just being coerced by me."

"We are sisters of the same mind, so there is no need to distinguish between who is the leader and who is the follower." Jiang Yu made up her mind and said, "Master said that everyone makes mistakes, but it is the best thing to correct them. Let's admit our mistakes and let Master punish us."

"When I made mistakes before, Master always spanked me on the palm of my hand." Miaomiao immediately became serious and whispered, "Actually, just let your sister sleep with Master and he will persuade her."

"It's as if I sold out my sister in exchange for a peaceful life..." Jiang Yu held his forehead and shook his head helplessly, "I won't mess with you next time."

"What are you afraid of? Your sister is very happy about it!" Miaomiao smiled, took Jiang Yu's hand, glanced at the black tower, and whispered: "Your sister has been in seclusion for so long, and Master has also been outside for a long time. It's just right for the two of them to be happy!"

"..." Jiang Yu smiled helplessly when he heard Miao Miao say this, "Master used to practice in my home and told me about mundane things. He said that in his hometown there were emperors, generals, and peddlers. Senior sister, you are like a sycophant around the old emperor, doing everything to relieve the old emperor's worries."

"What do you mean by treacherous minister? This is called great loyalty appears like treachery!" Miaomiao puffed out her chest confidently.

Jiang Yu shook her head, obviously not convinced, but she did not argue. She knew that this senior sister was the most favored by the master, and she had great skills, a wide circle of friends, and dared to do anything.

"We can't hide our wealth-making activities from our master," Jiang Yu said.

"Of course." Miaomiao also saw through it. "Gu Wushang likes to pretend to be mature. As long as the master asks, he will definitely tell the truth. Even if Gu Wushang doesn't say it, Gu Lianzhu will tell on me! Even if Gu Lianzhu feels guilty, he will tell on me when your sister is sleeping!"

"My sister..." Jiang Yu rubbed his brows and said, "My sister is worried that you and I will go astray. She is not the kind of person who would report bad things."

"Yes, yes, it's pillow talk, I understand." Miaomiao smiled.

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Yu asked again. She has always trusted this senior sister. No matter whether her ideas are bad or not, she has a lot of ideas.

"What else can we do?" Miaomiao said as if it was a matter of course, "Just give him 10%."

"..." Jiang Yu was shocked. "Master is a Jindan cultivator. How can Master look down upon us, a bunch of idiots? Besides, Master is originally an alchemist. If he is willing to open a furnace to refine pills, we can make more money than reselling goods to the north."

"Sister Xiaoyuer, you just don't understand Master."

Miaomiao smiled confidently, "Master is too lazy to make pills! It takes a long time to make spirit stones from making pills, and reselling the goods will inevitably result in losses. Master will not play this game. His method of making spirit stones is faster than ours!"

Jiang Yu frowned and thought carefully, then suddenly said: "You mean, Master can make a lot of money just by sleeping with women?" She turned her head to look at the black tower, biting her lower lip, and said: "No wonder my sister said that she was very poor for a while..."

"..." Miaomiao was stunned when she heard this, and said, "This is only part of it. I mean, Master was short of spiritual stones, so he went out to rob them. He has never been good at doing business."

At this point, Miaomiao put her arms around Jiang Yu's slender waist and whispered, "Don't spread this matter. Master loves his reputation."

"...We are almost ruining Master's reputation." Jiang Yu muttered softly.

"Since Master is back, we can fulfill our promise. Why would we say that we want to ruin our reputation?" Miaomiao said. "Okay." Jiang Yu actually believed it, then shook his head and said, "Sister, you just said that Master loves to steal other people's things. That's not true. Master has always taught us to be kind to others. If others don't bully me, I won't bully others. He also said that we should have a righteous heart and not be malicious. He also said that if you plant a grain of millet in spring, you will harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn. It means that we should learn skills in a down-to-earth manner."

"You believe this too?"

Miaomiao smiled and shook her head, saying, "As your family's tenant, he slept with your legitimate daughter and ate and drank for free from her. Do you believe what this kind of person says?"

"..." Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and argued: "Master's ability to refine pills comes from your family. He is closer to your family than to mine. Why haven't I heard that he slept with your daughter?"

"It's because Master boasted that he doesn't like women. It's also because Zhu Yuqiang is not good enough and Zhu Yuhuan is not pretty enough!" Miaomiao made sense. "Besides, he doesn't come to my house all the time and he is under the care of Master's wife. Do you really think Master is an honest man?"

She counted on her fingers, "I bet that Master might have hooked up with someone again in Daoyin Sect this time! Let's go and ask around later. If there's nothing, I'll jump into your Yuhu Lake!"

After hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded in agreement and said, "Senior Mu who came to see us half a year ago..."

"It must be Master who hooked her up!" Miaomiao was very sure. She hummed twice and leaned close to Jiang Yu's ear. "Master just advanced to the Golden Core stage and he hooked up with Old Golden Core. If he tries harder, the one in the Water Curtain Cave in Qingyun Mountain might also..."

Jiang Yu quickly covered Miaomiao's mouth.

"You are just too honest!" Miaomiao laughed.

Jiang Yu covered his forehead with his hands, feeling helpless.

"Let's go, let's go see the master as soon as possible and fool the matter first." Miaomiao pointed at the black tower and asked, "Why don't you tell your sister?"

"My sister is still in seclusion." Jiang Yu said.

"Still in seclusion? It's been more than a year, right?" Miaomiao put her hands on her hips, looked up at the black tower, and muttered, "Your sister has always been capable and established her foundation early. I'm afraid that Master will sleep in the golden elixir again..."

Jiang Yu also looked towards the Black Tower and nodded, saying, "The Black Tower seemed to have some unusual movements a few days ago. My sister must have made some progress again."

"Seeing a virtuous person, you should also hurry up!" Miaomiao crossed her arms, looked at Jiang Yu, and said, "Your sister looks like she has two alchemy furnaces hidden in her chest. She doesn't look like a real sister to you. I guess she has practiced some kind of dual cultivation method? Go ask Master later!"

“……” Jiang Yu was speechless.

The two sisters talked for a long time, then left Yuhu together and came to Xinyifang.

We headed westwards, but were stopped after a while.

"Two junior sisters, please stay!" A female foundation-building practitioner saluted.

This female cultivator is from the Chunyu family, her name is Chunyu Ye, and she has been helping to take care of the Chunyu family's external affairs.

"What's the matter, Senior Sister? Are you here on behalf of Chunyu Tong to collect the spirit stones?" Miaomiao smiled and pressed the storage ring on her hand, as if she was going to settle the account on the spot.

The previous debt collection incident was caused by Chunyu Tong, so Miaomiao was very unhappy and kept muttering that Chunyu Tong was not kind.

"How could that be? My family sincerely wants to invite your master to come and teach and enlighten us." Chun Yuye said quickly with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will never forget your family." Miaomiao smiled with satisfaction, and said, "But everything still requires self-improvement. Even if Master teaches by example, it will be difficult if you are not good enough!"

"Junior sister, that's right." Chun Yuye bowed again and said, "Now that your master has returned, I wonder when he will start preaching?"

Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, pretending to think, and said, "We have to wait until the sacrifice to Patriarch Cheng is over. But Master has many friends and a lot of things to do..."

"Senior Sister Chunyu, just wait for good news." Jiang Yu has always been honest. When she saw Miaomiao was in control, she quickly spoke up to help Chunyu Ye.

Chun Yu Ye thanked him, and Jiang Yu pulled Miao Miao and left quickly.

"What's wrong? If Chunyu Tong hadn't asked everyone, no one would have cared about our affairs!" Miaomiao spoke only after they walked away.

"She is different." Jiang Yu glanced back and saw that Chun Yuye had disappeared, so he whispered, "Have you forgotten that Master stayed in the Chunyu family? I heard from my sister that this Senior Sister Chun Yuye helped Master at that time."

"Ah?" Miaomiao was stunned. "So Master really slept his way to where he is today?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Master and that person are innocent." Jiang Yu said immediately.

"Do you believe it?" Miaomiao asked.

“……” Jiang Yu was speechless.

As they hurried on their way, they discussed whether the master had a lover among the four sects and four families of Qiaoshan Jindan.

When they arrived at Qiaoshan, Jiang Yu saw that Miaomiao did not go to Gu's place, but went to Yang's place first, so he was puzzled, "Master is a member of Gu's family, so he must be in Gu's family, why did he go to Yang's place first?"

"You, this is why you don't understand Master." Miaomiao was very confident. "Master arrived yesterday and must have gone to see Grandmaster Gu first. But later he didn't go to my house or yours, so he must have gone to Yang's house. I guess he's still on Sister Huanhuan's bed right now."

"..." Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "That makes sense."

Continuing forward, I saw from afar a lot of people sitting in Yang Huan's yard, obviously listening to the sermon.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu entered the yard and saw their master sitting cross-legged under a jujube tree. Many people from the Yang family had come, including Yang Shu, Yang Chen, Yang Bing, Gai Yingqiu, and a few other young people who were practicing qigong.

In addition to the Yang family, there are also the Gu family, including Gu Wushang and Gu Lianzhu.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, not daring to say a word.

He lowered his head for a long while, but saw that the master ignored him and continued to preach.

The two girls listened carefully and found that the master was not talking about the knowledge of alchemy over and over again, but instead talked about what he saw and heard in Jiuzha Mountain.

"Jiuzha Mountain is indeed a prosperous place for our Taoism, where many masters gather and commerce thrives. Its disciples are also of noble character and outstanding, and I yearn for it. Although casualties are inevitable in the secret realm, I always feel angry afterwards for my own weakness and inability to rescue my fellow Taoists." Lin Bai sighed.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu were still kneeling on the ground. When they heard this, they knew that it was their master who was scolding them.

Jiang Yu felt even more guilty, and lowered his head with a red face, reflecting in his heart that he would never allow his senior sister to instigate him again, nor would he lose face for his master again.

Miaomiao also lowered her head. She did not reflect on herself, but whispered: "Master is so sad, it doesn't seem fake. Maybe it was the person Master killed."

"Miao Miao, what are you talking about?" Lin Bai glared at her.

"I say Master is so wise!" Miaomiao said immediately.

"What?" Lin Bai frowned.

"I said that Master has compassion for the world and cares for fellow practitioners. Miaomiao should take Master as an example!" Miaomiao quickly changed her words.

"Where is Xiaoyuer?" Lin Bai didn't let any of them go.

"Disciple should be like my sister. We should take our master as our role model, behave uprightly and be kind to others," said Jiang Yu.

"If you really think so, I will be relieved." Lin Bai nodded with satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, everyone praised Senior Zhuanlun for his good teaching methods.
