The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 300 Advancement
On the stone plate, Lin Bai sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The moonlight was even brighter in the outer mist, and the green remained the same. Strands of subtle spiritual power flowed in and then surrounded Lin Bai.

After forming the elixir, he had just stabilized his state of mind when he was taken to Daoyin Sect by Aunt Gu. After resting for a long time, he went to Jiuzha Mountain again. Then he practiced in Daoyin Sect for more than half a year. After returning to Qiaoshan, he did not rest much.

However, although women can wear down one's fighting spirit and miscellaneous things can disturb one's mind, Lin Bai's desire to seek the truth has never slackened.

With the help of the stone plate, Lin Bai devoted himself to practice whenever he had free time, and his cultivation did not fall behind.

In fact, it was faster than others of the same level. After wandering for a long time, Lin Bai felt that he was not far from the second level of the Golden Core.

The path of cultivation becomes more difficult step by step. From the foundation of Tianqi, to the formulation of the theory of elixir, to the golden elixir realm, it becomes even more difficult.

A small realm is a threshold. If the practice goes smoothly, it is not slow to advance one level every ten years. Most cultivators can only move forward one step every twenty years.

If you encounter an obstacle, you may not make any progress for thirty to fifty years, or even remain motionless for your entire life.

People like Tie Huasheng have to spend their entire lives in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Golden Core Stage is ten or a hundred times more difficult.

Building a foundation and forming a pill are certainly difficult, but even if you lack talent and have no external resources, you still have a chance.

To reach the peak and achieve the Nascent Soul stage, character, aptitude, opportunity, and luck are all indispensable. As for the efficacy of elixirs, external assistance is also extremely important.

Lin Bai had Aunt Gu's backing and was also friends with the Qiaoshan clan, so he had no shortage of things. Even if he had questions about his cultivation, there were people to ask.

He calmed his mind, hung up the token for seclusion, left Dugu Jing to guard the gate, and concentrated on meditation.

The method that is practiced is the secret of longevity and creation obtained from the Taoist master Wuxiang. It understands the changes of time and space and the alternation of time and space. It is a first-class Taoist method.

Lin Bai was immersed in it, his spiritual power surged, and his golden elixir became brighter and brighter. As the Zhou Tian circulated, there were subtle changes on the stone plate, light shone through the cracks, and the galaxy was seen hanging on the long river of time, which was extremely magical.

Dugu Jing was in charge of guarding the gate and practicing alone in the courtyard.

She had not been in Qiaoshan for long, but because she was a disciple of the Daoyin Sect, had the special support of Lin Bai, and was accompanied by Miaomiao and Jiang Yu, she had met many people.

The previous Taoist meeting lasted for more than a month. Dugu Jing followed Lin Bai every day and listened to many insights into Taoism, which was quite beneficial.

Dugu Jing was currently sitting under a tree in the courtyard, doing a battle formation deduction.

The longer Dugu Jing studied the art of formation, the more he felt that Master Zhuanlun had learned a wide range of knowledge. Not only did he understand the theory of formation, he also studied the method of alchemy and the art of talismans. As for his ability to seduce women, there was no need to say more.

Dugu Jing heard Miaomiao bragging that his master's wife couldn't count them all. There was a big one in Daoyin Sect, a small one in Mianlong Mountain, not to mention Qiaoshan, there were also some in Yunxia Sect, and it seemed that there was also a lover in Jiuyin Mountain, but he went to another place.

Glancing at the tightly closed door, Dugu Jing didn't dare to ask any questions. He just focused on doing the homework assigned by Mr. Zhuanlun.

Three months passed quickly, and Dugu Jingli understood the three formations and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Mr. Zhuanlun had not yet come out of retreat, Dugu Jing closed his eyes and meditated quietly.

Although the art of formation is mysterious and profound, the level of cultivation is the foundation.

A few days later, Miaomiao and Jiang Yu came together. They first paid their respects to the master, and then the three girls sat together and chatted.

"Master is such a jerk!" Miaomiao patted her chest when she saw that Dugu Jing was detained and unable to leave the house. Then she took Dugu Jing and Jiang Yu to find Gu Feixue together.

"Master said that he can only feel at peace when he is with you, senior sister." Miaomiao only said one sentence, and Gu Feixue agreed to help watch the gate.

Dugu Jing was stunned and did not dare to ask whether this extremely cold and beautiful Senior Sister Gu Feixue had an affair with Mr. Zhuanlun. Instead, he admired Miaomiao's methods even more.

When the three girls had some free time, they went to talk to Gu Yao, but Gu Yao was not in the mood to discuss and instead scolded them.

There was no other choice, so Miaomiao led people to Fengming Mountain again, called out the disciples at home, and asked Dugu Jing to lecture for three days and explain the art of formation.

Dugu Jing had been with Miaomiao for a long time, and he also knew that this junior sister's deceased father had been a close friend of Mr. Zhuanlun, so Mr. Zhuanlun was extremely doting and indulgent towards her.

This Junior Sister Miaomiao was also very smart and could chat with anyone. She was not bad in talent, her cultivation was smooth, she had the skills of making pills and talismans, and her knowledge of formations was not bad either, but she just didn't like to settle down and study deeply.

"I've been out for several days. It would be bad if the master came out and found that I was not here." Dugu Jing is not as brave as Miaomiao.

"Don't worry." Miaomiao waved her hand, "Master will definitely forget about you once he sees Gu Feixue!"

"Senior Sister Miaomiao, Master is not that kind of person. Even if he is obsessed with women, he can't forget us." Jiang Yu defended Master and took Dugu Jing's hand, saying, "But Master is obviously in seclusion this time with the intention of not advancing and not going out. Why don't you go to my house and fish for a few days?"

"..." Dugu Jing heard from Mr. Zhuanlun that Jiang Yu was an honest child who never made mistakes and never overstepped the boundaries, until Miaomiao led him astray...

"Okay." Dugu Jing agreed.

When the three women arrived at Yu Lake, they saw that the Black Tower was still closed. They bowed from a distance, found some shade under a tree, and took out their fishing rods.

After fishing for half a day, Miaomiao realized something was wrong because not a single fish was caught.

Because Jiang Yu loves fishing, Miaomiao has also become proficient in it. She always catches fish and can make very accurate judgments about the fish situation.

But half a day passed and not a single fish was caught, and the fishhook didn't move at all, which was really strange.

Miaomiao dropped the fishing rod and looked back at the black tower.

Jiang Yu and Dugu Jing also looked over.

The three women were all foundation-building cultivators. Although they were only in the initial stage, they were capable after all, and they all knew that something was wrong.

"It's not your sister." Miaomiao withdrew her gaze and looked at the water again, then at the duckweed and the fallen leaves on the trees.

"It seems like some kind of formation." Dugu Jing has been learning formations from Lin Bai for a long time. His ability in setting up formations is average, but he has a deeper understanding of the principles behind them.

The fishes in the water seemed unable to distinguish between heaven and earth, and all of them dived deep into the water. A breeze blew through the willows on the shore, and the leaves fell onto the water. They should have floated and moved, but instead they fell into the water.

The birds in the bamboo forest in the distance seemed to be imprisoned and could not fly out of the small space.

Miaomiao pinched Jiangyu's cheek and muttered, "What do you feel?"

"It seems like I have no control over myself..." Jiang Yu replied honestly.

The two women looked at Dugu Jing again. Dugu Jing nodded and said, "It seems that there is something wrong with the method of confinement and the technique of controlling objects..."

"Your ancestor..." Miaomiao finally understood.

Sure enough, the black tower opened its door.

Jiang Xiaobai was wearing a slim-fitting robe with a slender waist. He frowned slightly and looked at the three women.

"Is your master back?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

Miaomiao nodded quickly, "When Master saw that my sister was in seclusion, he also went back to seclusion."

"When he comes out, ask him to come find me." Jiang Xiaobai instructed.

Miaomiao quickly agreed.

"Leave here. What happened today must not be spread outside." Jiang Xiaobai put on a serious look again, but she looked too well-behaved, a bit childish, and lacked any imposing manner.

The three girls were obedient and quickly agreed and ran away.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu returned to Fengming Mountain to meditate, and Dugu Jing went to see the gate again.

After returning to Chunhui Hall, Dugu Jing originally wanted to take over Gu Feixue's class, but he didn't expect that Senior Sister Gu would not leave yet.

"Have you been learning formations from Senior Zhuanlun?" Gu Feixue asked.

When Dugu Jing saw Gu Feixue chatting, she could only follow suit.

"Yes." Dugu Jing did not dare to offend Mr. Zhuanlun's beauty, even though Miaomiao said that Mr. Zhuanlun had never slept with her. "I remember you are from Daoyin Sect." Gu Feixue asked again.

"Yes." Dugu Jing replied.

"Do you know Pei Ning?" Gu Feixue asked again.

"..." Dugu Jing finally understood. Pei Ning was a sword cultivator, and Gu Feixue was also a sword cultivator. One of them was the Taoist partner of Master Zhuanlun, but the other had never slept with him. He felt dissatisfied.

"Of course I recognize him." Dugu Jing said.

Gu Feixue asked about Pei Ning's recent situation and inquired about Pei Ning's abilities.

Dugu Jing was not a swordsman and had never fought against Pei Ning. He only knew that Pei Ning was a real capable person and had defeated his clan sister Dugu Yan repeatedly.

After talking for a long time, Dugu Jing finally sent Gu Feixue away.

There is no day or month in my practice, and yet, March has passed in a hurry.

That morning, Dugu Jing suddenly felt something in his heart and opened his eyes to look towards the door.

The door of the house was still tightly closed, but the spiritual energy in the room was flourishing, and there was a slight vibration.

"Sir, that's too fast..."

Dugu Jing knew that this was a sign of a breakthrough to a small realm, but he remembered that Mr. Zhuanlun had only formed his elixir a few years ago and had been wandering outside, exploring secret realms, sleeping with women, and holding Taoist meetings. He didn't expect that after half a year of seclusion, he could actually break through.

"It seems that the trip to Jiuzha Mountain was really helpful." Dugu Jing sighed slightly, then calmed down and carefully felt the aftermath.

After a short while, the spiritual energy here became more and more vigorous, and then there was a sense of prosperity. The old trees in the courtyard blossomed and weeds grew in the blink of an eye. Dugu Jing felt his mind clear and his whole body relaxed.

But after a while, the feeling of old age came back, the flowers on the old trees withered, the grass on the ground turned yellow, and I felt stagnant from the inside out, in my muscles, bones, and limbs, and even my mind became dull.

In a daze, Dugu Jing found himself as if he had fallen into a river, being lifted up by the waves and then thrown down again.

Just as he was about to go with the flow, he saw stars falling from the sky, as if an invisible hand had pulled him out.

Dugu Jing staggered a step, finally stood firm, bowed towards the door, then quickly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, hoping to savor the feeling just now.

At this moment, Lin Bai has broken through the shackles and reached the second level of Jindan.

His hair turns white and black, as if countless years have passed.

There is a feeling of stars below and above the body, which lasts for a long time.

His mind is clear and connects time and space. Lin Bai follows it and sees endless white moon.

Then the moonlight rippled slightly, and it was a bright moon reflected on the water.

Looking closely, I saw a woman in a plain white robe fiddling with a green hair, and another brown-haired woman leaned in to look at her intently.

There was a huge tiger demon guarding nearby, and a green snake was surrounding the two women.

"Master also said that I am not at home and she is not at home either!" Huang Ruhua was angry.

"The fairy is safe now, and I roughly know where she is." Xiuxiu comforted.

"So where on earth did Master go?" Huang Ruhua stroked her chin, looking wise, and glanced at the tiger, whispering, "All monsters will go into heat, so Master should be no exception. Did he go to find a lover?"

"..." Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "If the fairy is...if she is moved, I will feel it in my heart."

She blew on her green hair and continued, "Didn't Miaomiao say that the fairy was seduced away by Senior Mu? I guess the fairy has other important things to do, so don't worry."

"Just don't bring back a male fox." Huang Ruhua muttered.

"..." Xiuxiu held her forehead and said, "In fact, it would be nice if I could bring back a mole."

"...That's even worse than a fox!" This time it was Huang Ruhua's turn to hold her forehead with her hand.

Seeing that the two women were speechless, Lin Bai focused his attention on the green hair.

For a moment, the green hair fell into the galaxy, drifted to an unknown number of miles away, and landed in a mountain forest.

"Li Chenyu, are you bored? You're chasing me endlessly, right?" Mu Zhen was panting, his clothes were dirty, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

A green fox was lying on a tree branch about ten feet away. It used its tail as a cushion and coiled up, saying with a smile, "You led me out first, and now you're annoyed that I followed you?"

The fox became more and more proud. "I won't beat you or kill you. I will just follow you. If you want to find out secrets, I will be by your side. If you want to buy or sell spiritual objects, I will be by your side. If you are too sleepy to speak because of Lin Zhuanlun, I will still be by your side."

"..." Mu Zhen was really annoyed, "You were the one who bullied others first!"

"Small-minded." The fox grinned.

"Haha, just follow me!" Mu Zhen laughed angrily, "Lin Zhuanlun knew you were not here, so he must have stolen your home! Xiuxiu has been well-behaved and cute since she was a child, and Lin Zhuanlun is a demon of lust and has been coveting her for a long time. This place is 20,000 miles away from Mianlong Mountain. It will be too late for you to go back and save her!"

Sure enough, the fox was stunned after hearing this. She wagged her tail and said, "Xiu Xiu and I are connected by heart. I will know immediately if she is in heat. Not to mention that I have other plans. Anyway, I will wrap you up and bring you back so that Xiu Xiu can see how happy you and Lin Zhuan Lun are."

"..."Mu Zhen held her forehead with her hand. She had a lot of bad intentions, but the fox was not an easy person to deal with.

Mu Zhen gritted her teeth. She had ways to save her life and was confident that she could escape the fox's pursuit, but the treasure should not be wasted like this.

The fox had no intention of harming anyone, and Mu Zhen was really reluctant to use the secret treasure.

"What do you want?" Mu Zhen said angrily.

"I want to know about my master..." The fox was talking, but suddenly paused. She stood up, looked around, then looked at the sky, her tail moving non-stop.

Mu Zhen saw that the fox was acting strangely, but didn't notice anything unusual, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there a male fox?"

"I feel like someone is spying on me." The fox swung its tail, stirring up the heaven and earth here, creating huge ripples.

"hiss……"

Lin Bai wanted to continue reading, but he felt an unbearable headache and looked away.

This time, after breaking through a small realm, he was able to follow the map and actually saw the fox and Sister Zhen more than 20,000 miles away.

And with Xiuxiu as the matchmaker, we can know the world by just looking at a hair.

However, his cultivation was shallow, and he ran into a fox who was cultivating the space method and was extremely alert, so he was discovered.

"As expected, there is no supreme method in the world. We need to be careful next time."

Lin Bai reflected for a while, recalling his feelings after breaking through the small realm, and then carefully thought about how to trace the source.

“Knowing where you are now, you know where your past was, and you know where your future is going.”

Lin Bai sat quietly for half a day, then opened the door with a flick of his sleeves.

Dugu Jing was already kneeling outside waiting, saying, "Sir, please come out of seclusion."

This child is not as smart as Miaomiao, but a little more smart than Jiang Yu, and he is also very respectful. Lin Bai likes him very much.

Dugu Jing did not wait for Lin Bai to ask, and said: "Senior Sister Jiang Xiaobai of the Jiang family has come out of retreat and invited you to discuss Taoism."

He actually came out of seclusion? Lin Bai couldn't help but think of the thin branches and fruits, and nodded in agreement.

Now that my cultivation has improved, I cannot abandon the Hunyuan Body Tempering Method. It is a good opportunity for me to borrow the Jiang family's Earth Fire.
