The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 308 All the way north

Lin Bai thought they would go north, but unexpectedly Jiang Xingchi went southeast.

Cross the sea and reach Yunxia Sect.

After practicing for many years and wandering around many places, this was the first time that Lin Bai set foot in the Yunxia Sect.

Even though he knew there was no need to worry about his safety, Lin Bai still felt a little unnatural.

Fu Bozi and his disciples came out to greet them. The two sides exchanged a few polite words and then came into the Yunxiao Palace.

Yunxia Sect has three Yuanyings, Yun Wujiu is in the late Yuanying stage and has always lived in seclusion. The affairs of the sect are managed by Fu Bozi and Han Xiaoqiu, two Yuanyings, in turn, with Po Yunzi and others assisting.

Now it is Fu Bozi who is in charge of the hundred years.

In the Yunxiao Palace, Fu Bozi sat in the main seat, with a man and a woman beside him, who should be his nephews and grandchildren.

Behind Jiang Xingchi are Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli.

Po Yunzi and Gao Yuanyuan were also there.

The newly promoted Nascent Soul came to visit as a gesture of goodwill, so all the people in charge of the Yunxia Sect came.

The two sides exchanged a few polite words. Jiang Xingchi praised the two young and promising people behind Fu Bozi, and Fu Bozi praised Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli for their bright future.

"Alas." After talking for a long time, Jiang Xingchi finally got down to business. He sighed and said, "We cultivators strive for the great way and pursue immortality in order to be free. But the world is so difficult, how can we tolerate a free life? I, Qiaoshan Taishang, have been in seclusion at Xianqiao, but I have repeatedly heard about the war in the north, where everyone from Yuanying to ordinary people has suffered. Taishang saw fellow cultivators killing each other and the lives of the people were destroyed, and he couldn't bear it, so he ordered me to go north to persuade them to make peace."

After hearing this, Fu Bozi was a little confused. Po Yunzi and Gao Yuanyuan looked at each other, neither of them quite understood.

Although the war in the north is fierce, it is far away.

As for the words of persuading peace, it was even more outrageous. Xiang Wuhui could indeed be called the number one person among the three sects, but why would the many sects and families in the north listen to your words of persuasion for peace?

Why can't you bear to see your fellows being killed? Did you say this to Wu Hui when he surrounded and killed Lu Haike? Did you say this when the Gu family fought against Jiuyin Mountain?
Besides, can you, Jiang Xingchi, persuade them to make peace? Xiang Wuhui may not be able to persuade them to make peace! The cause of the war is not the war, but the Shoutian Pavilion tens of thousands of miles away!

Fu Bozi stroked his beard for a long time, nodded, and said: "Junior Brother Xiang is not only a master of Taoism, but also a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. I admire him."

Obviously, he was just being polite.

Lin Bai stood there with a blank expression on his face, but in his heart he didn't believe that the ancestor was so kind.

"Brother, although your sect is located on an overseas fairy island, its reputation has spread far and wide. This grand event should be participated in by you and me!" Jiang Xingchi said sincerely.

"..." Fu Bozi didn't expect Jiang Xingchi to be so direct and actually wanted Yunxia Sect to suffer as well. He stroked his beard and thought for a long time, and said, "My Yunxia Sect is a poor place, not as good as the countless heroes of Qiaoshan... This is a serious matter, please let me think about it carefully."

"Okay." Jiang Xingchi understood very well, and asked with a smile: "Is it convenient for me to visit the leader of your sect?"

Fu Bozi thought about it for a moment and then agreed. He couldn't see through Xiang Wuhui's intentions, so he simply threw his worries to Yun Wujiu.

He immediately asked Po Yunzi to take Jiang Xingchi to meet Yun Wujiu.

"The Yunxia Sect is full of outstanding people. You two should stay here for a while and make some good friends." Jiang Xingchi left Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli behind.

Fu Bozi saw Jiang Xingchi off and stood outside the hall for a while with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a cup of tea, when Fu Bozi was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the young Jindan brought by Jiang Xingchi talking to a young female cultivator from his own family.

The female cultivator smiled sweetly, still a little shy. She lowered her head from time to time, but always looked up at the young golden elixir, her body slightly twisted, as if she was in heat.

"I remember he is Lin Zhuanlun, right?" Fu Bozi asked Gao Yuanyuan through voice transmission. He had clearly praised Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli for their bright futures before.

"Yes." Gao Yuanyuan glanced and saw Lin Zhuanlun and Song Jingxian chatting happily in a corner outside the hall. She thought to herself that this boy was used to hooking up with the female disciples of my Yunxia Sect.

"Is this guy the one who has a grudge against Qu Chengjia? The girl from our family who was abducted by a fox was also seduced by him, right?" Fu Bozi asked again in a voice transmission.

"Yes..." Gao Yuanyuan nodded and replied: "In fact, the hatred has long been resolved. He has a close personal relationship with Meng Yuan and Qu Ruyi, and he also respects me and my senior brother very much."

"Meng Yuan and Qu Ruyi are in seclusion, right?" Fu Bozi transmitted the message.

"Yes." Gao Yuanyuan replied.

"Just keep an eye on it." Fu Bozi was relieved and sighed, "How many people who follow the Gu family are good? Gu Jiuzhong was bewitched by the Red Skull as soon as he entered Jiuyin Mountain. I'm afraid this person has also learned the true teachings. And there's also the old incident with Li Chenyu. You should keep a close eye on him. We don't have many people in the Yunxia Sect. Don't let them be fooled away."

Gao Yuanyuan agreed immediately.

Fu Bozi said no more and left with a wave of his sleeves.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't bother to care about these trivial matters. When he saw Fu Bozi walking away, he immediately asked Song Jingxian to take Lin Bai for a walk, and then went to chat with Cheng Yuanli.

Lin Bai hadn't seen Song Jingxian for a long time. The girl was still as quiet as before, except that her face blushed easily.

"Senior, I have read your letter... I have kept it carefully. I want to go to Qiaoshan to find you, but I'm afraid..." Song Jingxian spoke incoherently.

Lin Bai chatted with her for a few words and took out a stone. "This is the Wuxiang Stone. I got it from the bottom of the Endless River in Jiuzha Mountain. You and I met in the Wuxiang Taoist Master's Wuzi Secret Realm, so I found it specially to give to you."

There are a lot of these Wuxiang Stones under the Endless River, and they are of no use. Lin Bai picked up some of them, and now they are useful.

Sure enough, Song Jingxian happily took the Wuxiang Stone and looked at it for a while before saying, "The one you gave me is a little bigger."

She put it away like a treasure with a sweet smile on her face.

"..." Lin Bai didn't expect that Qu Ruyi also picked up this thing when she was in Jiuzha Mountain. He had wanted to give Meng Yuan another one, but now he didn't dare to do so.

"Where is Qu Ruyi?" Lin Bai revealed the matter of the Wuxiang Stone.

"She is in Bagua Mountain now." Song Jingxian smiled when she mentioned Qu Ruyi, "She said that she will not come out until she forms the elixir."

"She has a loose personality. If no one is controlling her, she will wander around. It would be a good idea for her to stay in seclusion." Lin Bai took out a bottle of wine and handed it to Song Jingxian, saying, "Send it to her for me."

Lin Bai didn't want to go to Qu Chengjia's territory, not because he was afraid of Qu Chengjia, but because this was the Yunxia Sect after all, and there was no need to cause trouble.

"I will definitely give it to her!" Song Jingxian was very obedient.

"Why doesn't Meng Yuan come out?" Lin Bai asked again.

"The eldest sister is also in seclusion." Song Jingxian looked envious, "She will be able to achieve the golden elixir in the next two or three years."

"You should also practice well. You must know that the great way is the foundation." Lin Bai looked concerned.

"Yes." Song Jingxian nodded slightly, then turned her head to look at Lin Bai and said, "I was in seclusion, but when I heard you were here, I came to see you..."

"When you have formed the elixir, you can go to Qiaoshan and live for a while. We can meet whenever you want." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Song Jingxian nodded immediately.

The two chatted, walked around, and looked at Bagua Mountain from a distance.

"Brother Song, I'm here to see you."

In front of a tomb, Lin Bai held a gourd and poured out wine.

Song Jingxian was accompanying him, not looking at the tombstone, but staring at Lin Bai instead.

The breeze brought the fishy smell of sea water, and it felt like I was back on Golden Turtle Island.

Times have changed, but it's just a glass of muddy wine. "I owe my proposal of the alchemy theory to Brother Song, and because I saw his experience, my determination to seek the truth has become even stronger." Lin Bai sighed and poured more wine, "I should come to see him more often in the future."

"Senior..." Song Jingxian said softly, stepped forward and pulled Lin Bai's sleeve, saying: "Then when the senior comes, I will definitely accompany you."

"Jingxian, you are so nice." Lin Bai said.

Song Jingxian blushed.

Lin Bai chatted with Song Qing for a while, talked about old times, and then left with Song Jingxian.

"My master wants to ask Senior Jiang to discuss Dao, but I'm afraid it will take some time." When Lin Bai came back, he was caught by Gao Yuanyuan, "You are proficient in alchemy and formations, why don't you give a lecture and benefit our disciples."

Lin Bai had received favors from Gao Yuanyuan before, so since Gao Yuanyuan said so, Lin Bai did not refuse and agreed immediately.

The two days before the sermon were relatively normal, and the disciples of the Yunxia Sect were quite polite.

However, on the third day, the disciples of Yunxia Sect saw that Lin Bai answered every question and was easy to talk to without any airs, so some of them asked Lin Bai to talk about the way to seduce women and the past events of Mianlong Mountain.

Then someone started to make a scene, making a lot of noise. Song Jingxian wanted to say something to help, but was drowned out by the noise.

Gao Yuanyuan severely punished the main culprit and the accomplices, and did not dare to let Lin Bai continue speaking, so he immediately replaced him with Cheng Yuanli.

Lin Bai didn't expect that his reputation was so great, but it was not a good reputation, so he felt very uncomfortable.

Gao Yuanyuan treated Lin Bai to two days of drinking before he was able to appease him.

After waiting for another three days, Jiang Xingchi finally finished the talk.

After a few polite words, Jiang Xingchi took Lin Cheng and left.

Riding on the clouds and mist, crossing the calm sea, he went all the way north to Jiuyin Mountain.

"I, the Supreme Master of Qiaoshan, was in seclusion at Xianqiao... I saw my fellow Taoists killing each other and causing great suffering to the people. I couldn't bear it, so I ordered me to go north and persuade them to make peace."

The people from Jiuyin Mountain didn't understand Jiang Xingchi's intention yet. After a few words of idle chat, Jiang Xingchi directly repeated the same words he had said in Yunxia Sect.

After hearing these hypocritical words, Yuanying Zheng Yehe immediately praised Xiang Wuhui's benevolence and righteousness, but said that Jiuyin Mountain was weak and could not participate.

Jiang Xingchi refused to let her go and asked to see Yin Wuqing again.

"The sect leader has been in seclusion for a long time and has not seen guests for a long time. I hope my junior brother can understand." Zheng Yehe refused.

"I am delivering a letter on the orders of the Supreme Master." Jiang Xingchi said again.

"I will forward it to you, brother." Zheng Yehe said.

"The Supreme Lord has ordered me to deliver it to Senior Sister Yin personally." Jiang Xingchi insisted on seeing Yin Wuqing.

Zheng Yehe never agreed.

The two Yuanying-stage cultivators were like vendors in an ordinary vegetable market, talking nonsense for a long time.

"Fellow Daoist, please go sit over there for a while while I go ask the sect leader for instructions." Zheng Yehe finally lost his patience.

Jiang Xingchi agreed immediately and followed Zheng Yehe, and Lin Cheng and the others also followed.

But after waiting for three days, Zheng Yehe still didn't show up. Jiang Xingchi was very good at cultivating his Qi, so he just picked up the pieces and played chess alone.

Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli had no right to speak and could only stare blankly.

Then the monks from Jiuyin Mountain came and asked Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to preach.

"Brother Zhuanlun, my sister died at your hands before, and I knew that you must be able to form an elixir. Now that you are following the phoenix, you will definitely make further progress! Can you come and preach to my disciples of Jiuyin Mountain?" A relative of Lu Shiping, named Lu Jiuyao, came to the door.

Seeing that the other party had brought up the past, Lin Bai felt embarrassed to refuse and could only go and ask Jiang Xingchi for instructions.

"Go away." Jiang Xingchi didn't care at all.

From then on, Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli started preaching, and I got a glimpse of the customs of Jiuyin Mountain.

Jiuyin Mountain is a big sect after all, and they do things in an authentic way, unlike the Yunxia Sect, which only does work without any benefits. After Lin Bai preached for a day and Cheng Yuanli was replaced, Jiuyin Mountain sent several female cultivators to serve him.

"I don't know what you like, just pick it. If you know the method of fierce fighting, I'll take all of them. The children at home all want to discuss Taoism with you, and they are looking forward to it." Lu Jiuyao didn't treat Lin Bai as an outsider, and said confidently: "No matter what you like, I can satisfy you! Even if it's the type of Gu Jiuzhong and Yang Shaoan, I can arrange it at any time!"

"...Brother Daoist." Lin Bai was frightened and refused, "This trip is for the war in the north, for thousands of fellow Daoists, it is not appropriate to announce... that obscenity."

"There will be a Wuzhe conference in two days. Do you want to come, Junior Brother?" Lu Jiuyao pretended not to hear Lin Bai's words.

"I've been abstaining from sex recently." Lin Bai said.

Lu Jiuyao stared at Lin Bai, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he whispered, "I have quite a few spirit beasts at home."

What the hell is going on? Lin Bai immediately said seriously, "I've been practicing my profound skills lately, so I don't want to be around women!"

"I see." Lu Jiuyao looked as if he was wondering why didn't you tell me earlier.

"Brother, do you have any news about Lu Qingyin?" When Lin Bai heard the word spiritual beast, he thought of the Deer Fairy.

"Her?" Lu Jiuyao shook his head. "I haven't heard from her since. Besides, I'm not familiar with her."

"Isn't she a relative of you and Lu Shiping?" Lin Bai asked again.

"She is from the same family, but she rarely showed up before. I only knew her after the incident in the Wordless Secret Realm." Lu Jiuyao did not seem to be lying, but was very sincere. "I heard that although her last name is Lu, she is not from our Lu family. She was brought back by my family's old ancestor, the Seafarer."

Lin Bai asked again, and seeing that Lu Jiuyao indeed didn't know, he then inquired about Yin Wuqing, but he didn't know either.

They stayed in Jiuyin Mountain for more than a month, but Zheng Yehe never showed up.

Lin Bai traveled around Jiuyin Mountain for a long time, saw a lot of scenery, and rejected many bad relationships.

Another month passed and Zheng Yehe finally showed up.

"My sect leader is in seclusion at a critical juncture and it is difficult for him to see guests." Zheng Yehe said.

It's obvious that he doesn't want to see me! He hid for two months in the hope of getting rid of me, but Jiang Xingchi can sit still for too long.

"I'll just wait." Jiang Xingchi wasn't angry at all, "I wonder how long it will take, Senior Sister Yin?"

"..." Zheng Yehe had no choice but to say, "The Sect Master said that it would take at least fifty years, and at most several hundred years."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingchi sighed for a long time, and then asked Zheng Yehe if he could go to the north with him to resolve the chaos.

Zheng Yehe naturally refused.

Jiang Xingchi tried to persuade him for two more days, and Zheng Yehe, a Yuanying-level man, was so tired that his beard fell off, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to give in.

There was no choice, Jiang Xingchi said some nonsense about "the world is difficult" and said goodbye to Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli.

Heading north, there were small sects and families like the Jindan Foundation Building Sect along the way. Jiang Xingchi did not stop and headed straight for the front line.
