The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 318 Induction
Twenty thousand miles north of Yinqi Mountain is the boundary of Zhouhui Mountain.

Someone had already been waiting in Shoutian Pavilion, and Wumu Qian, along with two Jindan monks, stepped forward to pay their respects.

After boarding the flying boat of Shoutian Pavilion, the group continued heading north.

The Zhouhui Mountains are vast and fertile, covering an area of ​​nearly ten thousand miles. There are countless sacred places, mountains, rivers, and magical animals.

This place is larger than the entire Qiaoshan, but its population is far less than that of Qiaoshan.

Because the old people of Zhouhui Mountain moved south, and although Shoutian Pavilion has been thriving for hundreds of years, there are still few people and a lot of land, so much so that many secular villages and towns are built on spiritual land.

Many places where spiritual plants should be grown are lacking in management, and the quality of the plants varies greatly, showing obviously that no care has been taken in growing them.

If this happened in Qiaoshan, the spiritual plant worshipper would have packed up and gone home long ago.

However, Zhou Hui Mountain is so vast and fertile that people can grow enough to eat and drink just by planting some crops, and there is still a lot left to sell.

Cheng Yuanli and Lin Bai were looking down from the deck. He shook his head and said in a voice transmission, "In our hometown, every sect and school planted spiritual plants to make full use of them, but the people in Shoutian Pavilion either left large tracts of spiritual land uncultivated or gave them to ordinary people to live in. It's really a waste of natural resources."

The fact that such an honest gentleman could say such a thing shows how outrageous Shoutian Pavilion is.

Lin Bai is also a man who lives a normal life. He can't bear to see such a good place being abandoned. He thinks that maybe the old man Xiang has also set his eyes on this piece of land?

There are more than twenty fifth-grade spiritual places in Zhouhui Mountain, including three fifth-grade top-grade places, all of which are as good as the Xianqiao blessed land.

Not to mention there is also a seventh-level blessed land!

There are only four Nascent Souls in Shoutian Pavilion, which are far from enough to be used up. Many Golden Cores that have the potential to form Nascent Souls are also located in the fifth-level spiritual land, which is truly generous.

The flying boat moved slowly, and palaces and blessed lands could be seen along the way. After five days of travel, they finally arrived outside the main hall of Shoutian Pavilion.

Wu Muchun came out to greet them, and there was also an old Yuanying, who was Huo Taiping, an old friend of Zhou Huishan, but the head of the sect, Xia Yufeng, was not there.

The Three Yuanyings talked a few words and Wumuchun wanted to let Jiang Xingchi go in to talk, but Jiang Xingchi said that since he came to Shoutian Pavilion, how could he not pay his respects to Yuhu Patriarch and so on. He also said that even if Yuhu Patriarch did not summon him, he should still pay his respects at the foot of Wanshou Mountain.

Seeing that the visitor from Qiaoshan was very polite, Wumuchun agreed.

The group traveled five or six hundred miles northwest and saw a mountain hidden in clouds and mist.

Wanshou Mountain is not very tall, nor is it the highest peak in Zhouhui Mountain. It is just that it has beautiful scenery, rich spiritual energy, and a fairy-like atmosphere, so it is called the first among Zhouhui Mountains.

When you arrive at the foot of the mountain, you will see a temple with an old golden elixir guarding the place.

Seeing this, the old Jindan didn't dare to say much. He bowed slowly and retreated to another place.

Jiang Xingchi brought Cheng Yuanli, Lin Bai and Bi Huanqiu forward and bowed respectfully.

"I am Jiang Xingchi from Qiaoshan, and I have come to pay a visit to the ancestor of Shoutian Pavilion on the orders of Xiang Wuhui, the supreme leader of Qiaoshan Sect." Jiang Xingchi's intention was very sincere.

Lin Bai was also meticulous and didn't dare to say a word. After all, he had just killed someone from Shoutian Pavilion, and the next moment he came to flatter the Ancestor Huashen, so he was even more sincere.

Bi Huanqiu also lowered her head and bowed respectfully. She was even more confused. She thought that the matter was settled and she could go home, but the ancestor of the Jiang family sent a message to Lin Bai, asking him to bring him with him to see the immortal appearance of the foreign master.

After paying his respects, Wumuchun chatted for a few more words and then returned to the main hall with Jiang Xingchi.

San Yuanying did not mention Xia Fenyi, let alone Xie Qingxuan. He just talked about Taoism for a while and talked about the scenery of Qiaoshan.

Afterwards, Wumuchun invited Jiang Xingchi to his cave for a detailed discussion, and the meeting ended.

Lin Bai and the other three were naturally not qualified to go, and were taken to the guest house by Wumuqian.

Although it is called a guest house, it is actually better than Lin Bai’s residence in Qiaoshan. It is a fourth-level spiritual place, quiet and secluded.

Wumu Qian was very thoughtful. He arranged a Qi-cultivating monk in front of each cave to serve as gatekeeper and pass on messages.

After completing these formalities, Wumu Qian invited the three men to his cave to sit and discuss philosophy.

After chatting for a while and drinking three cups of tea, Lin Bai finally asked, "Brother Wumu, how is Xia Fenyi doing? Have you found Xie Qingxuan?"

"I don't know about that." Wu Muqian waved his hand and smiled, "My ancestor is only in charge of finding people, and the matter of hunting down the murderer is decided by Sect Leader Xia. Besides, my ancestor is only good at determining yin and yang, and is not good at fighting."

Lin Bai smelled the scent of infighting.

"I believe that once Master Xia takes action, Xie Qingxuan will be easily captured!" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Haha." Wu Muqian smiled and said, "The old man, the sect leader, is away from home. Now it is the old ancestor Yu from Yuliu Mountain who is in charge of this matter."

Lin Bai did not ask where the leader Xia Yufeng had gone, but continued to chat.

They talked about Qiaoshan, Jiuyin Mountain, Yunxia Sect, the fox in Mianlong Mountain, Jiuzha Mountain, and Chen Tianren.

"The leader of the Daoyin Sect is only in the initial Nascent Soul stage, but he is known as a celestial being. Is he really like a celestial being?" Wu Muqian asked curiously.

Lin Bai had no way to explain it, so he just talked about how Chen Zhiyuan killed the enemy by crossing the level, and briefly talked about Chen Zhiyuan's personality.

After listening to this, Wu Muqian pondered for a long time and said, "It has been a long time since my Shoutian Pavilion has produced such a person. I never thought that there would be a hero in the East China Sea. I will go and visit him in the future."

There was admiration in his words, but also a hint of dissatisfaction.

After a while, a guest came outside.

The person who came was a female Jindan cultivator with yellow hair and wearing a tight short shirt, looking very dashing.

The woman stood straight with a stern face. She didn't even look at Wumuqian, but only at Lin Bai and the other two.

"Xia He, what's the matter?" Wu Muqian asked with a frown.

"I heard that you three were visiting in Qiaoshan, so I came to take a look." The female cultivator named Xia He said in a very cold voice. She looked at Cheng Yuanli, then at Lin Bai, and then at Bi Huanqiu. Finally, she said, "I heard that the three of you went all the way north. I guess you must have met Xia Fenyi?"

Cheng Yuanli said nothing, but looked at Wu Muqian instead.

"Xia He, Xia Fenyi's death has been determined." Wu Muqian was very impatient and said, "I have already told you about the matter of Xiaowu Mountain. This Junior Brother Cheng, Junior Brother Zhuanlun followed me to Xiaowu Mountain, why are you making such a fuss?"

"I don't believe what you say. I want to ask them myself." Xia He said coldly.

"Then you might as well go south again." Wu Muqian smiled.

"Of course I have to go there." Xia He said.

Wu Muqian shook his head, then looked at Cheng Yuanli and Lin Bai and explained, "This is Xia He, Xia Fenyi's cousin. The two siblings have always been good friends. I hope you two junior brothers will bear with me."

Cheng Yuanli said nothing and looked at Lin Bai. He knew that Lin Bai had a relationship with Xia Fenyi.

"Okay, okay." Lin Bai was in a very good mood. He nodded to Xia He and said, "Brother Xia and I met at Yubi Mountain. We hit it off right away and drank and talked happily. It's a pity..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xia He waved her hand, "I just want to know who he met, what he said, and whether he offended anyone!"

Although the other party was so rude, Lin Bai was not angry. After all, it was the other party's brother who died.

After thinking for a while, Lin Bai didn't know where to start. "Why are you hesitating?" Xia He frowned and took a step forward.

"Fellow Daoist Xia," Lin Bai sighed, and said, "Brother Xia went south for business. I only met him once in Yubi Mountain. We only knew each other for a few days. How could I know if he had any enemies? As for who he met and what he talked about, how could I hear about it?"

Wu Muqian also said: "Given Brother Xia's character, do you think he has many enemies? But everyone didn't care for the sake of our Shoutian Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Xia He frowned even more and looked at Cheng Yuanli again.

"I have never had any friendship with Senior Brother Xia, and I don't know what kind of person he is." Cheng Yuanli was a kind man. He couldn't get along with Xia Fenyi. They were just nodding acquaintances, so he didn't know him even more.

"I heard that the visitor from Qiaoshan came all the way north to resolve years of conflict. What kind of hero do I think I am? I don't expect that he only has this little knowledge?" Xia He sneered, then turned and walked out.

Is this woman sick?

"Although we, the people of Qiaoshan, are not very knowledgeable, we know benevolence and righteousness. We will never do such heartless and ungrateful things as poisoning someone else." Lin Bai came with Jiang Xingchi for Qiaoshan, and he couldn't afford to lose face, so he spoke out.

Sure enough, Xia He stopped walking when she heard that, turned around and looked at Lin Bai with gloomy eyes.

It seems that the people in Shoutian Pavilion also know where the war originated from, and they have some sense of shame.

Wu Muqian was not very angry. Instead, he looked at Lin Bai meaningfully.

Lin Bai bowed to Xia He, then stood up straight and said, "Now that Senior Wu Mu has deduced that it was Xie Qingxuan who did it, if you want revenge, you should either go find Xie Qingxuan or practice quietly and advance to the Nascent Soul stage, instead of relying on your family background and being aggressive!"

Xia He looked at Lin Bai, sized him up for a few more times, and said, "No wonder Qiao Shan sent you here. I wonder how capable you are?"

"I am a pill master by birth, and I really don't have any special abilities. If you have time, you can come to the Qiaoshan Mountain. I will introduce you to someone who is ten times better than me." Lin Bai said.

Xia He sneered, said no more, and turned away.

After everyone left, Lin Bai sighed.

"Why are you sighing, Junior Brother?" Wu Muqian asked knowingly.

"Brother," Lin Bai poured tea for Wu Muqian and said, "I just arrived at your sect and I have offended someone. I feel uneasy. If I were alone, I would be fine with the anger, but I came here with Senior Jiang for Qiaoshan..."

"It's okay." Wu Muqian confidently took it over. "Xia He may be a bit reckless, but she is not a combative person. With my brother protecting you, no one dares to touch you. Besides, Senior Jiang is at the mountain gate, Xia He dare not act rashly."

"Then it all depends on you, Senior Brother." Lin Bai grabbed Wu Muqian's arm and said, "I have been away for a long time, and I plan to practice meditation for a few days. I wonder if you can find a cave of underground fire?"

Now he only needed to temper his body with fire spiritual energy to reach the second level of Hunyuan. Lin Bai guessed that Jiang Xingchi would have to stay in Shoutian Pavilion for a long time, and he couldn't get involved in the affairs of the Nascent Soul, so he might as well stay underground honestly.

Lin Bai always felt that Jiang Xingchi's ambitions were extremely big and there might be danger in the future, so he had to improve his strength and would not write the Journey to the North for the time being.

"That's easy." Wu Muqian immediately agreed with a smile, and then said, "But since the three of you have come to my Shoutian Pavilion, and the seniors are discussing matters, why don't you hold a Taoist meeting first and give some pointers to the disciples of my Shoutian Pavilion?"

This is as it should be, and all schools and sects like to play this way anyway.

For the next half month, Lin Bai and the other two preached conscientiously.

It's just that the people in Shoutian Pavilion have bad tempers and have always looked down on outsiders. Even when Jindan was giving a sermon, they didn't really support it. Wumu Qian still forced many low-level disciples to come over to make up the number.

People don't want to listen, and Lin Bai and others don't want to talk about it. It's just a trick.

Then Wumu Qian invited a dozen Jindan to discuss Taoism with Lin Bai and the other two.

This went on for another seven days before all these social engagements were over and Lin Bai finally had some free time.

Wu Muqian personally selected a cave house, which was better than the one of Jiang's family, with a grade of four. It was also extremely large, and Lin Bai had a cave house to himself.

"Keep this." Wu Muqian gave Lin Bai the cave abode token and boasted, "This place is a little shabby, please don't despise it, Junior Brother."

Lin Bai naturally praised him endlessly.

"Then you just need to meditate in seclusion. I won't disturb you." Wu Muqian smiled, glanced at Lin Bai and Bi Huanqiu, and then left.

After seeing Wumuqian off, Lin Bai didn't say a word. He first checked the layout of the cave, then took out the alchemy furnace and refined a batch of pills.

Bi Huanqiu was watching from the side.

"You've been here for more than a month. What do you think of Shoutian Pavilion?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"The land is rich in natural resources and has many talented people. This place is ten times better than Jiuzha Mountain." Bi Huanqiu sighed.

"Yeah." Lin Bai also sighed, "I don't even want to go back to Qiaoshan!"

"Senior Jiang wants to help track down Xie Qingxuan, but you can't go back even if you want to." Bi Huanqiu smiled.

"It is so difficult to track down a high-ranking Yuanying cultivator. This is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a short time." Lin Bai didn't believe that Jiang Xingchi was so kind, so he just smiled and said, "Maybe we have to stay here for a few years, or even decades."

"..." Bi Huanqiu sat cross-legged beside the alchemy furnace, stunned for a while, and whispered: "Why do you think Senior Jiang insisted that I come with him?"

"Aren't you happy to come to Huashen Sect?" Lin Bai smiled.

Bi Huanqiu was naturally happy, but he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he thought that there was a god guarding this place.

"Go back and practice well, don't see outsiders, and come to see me once every ten days." Lin Bai said.

Bi Huanqiu nodded, but did not leave. He just drew circles on the ground with his fingers.

"Be careful about lust." Lin Bai scolded him, then tried the new place and felt like he was back in the Jiang family.

After a day of chatting, Bi Huanqiu finally left, and Lin Bai was able to think alone.

Coming to the stone plate and sitting cross-legged for a long time, Lin Bai found that there were still many things he couldn't understand.

What exactly is Jiang Xingchi trying to do? Or what does Xiang Wuhui want to do?
Also, where did Xia Yufeng, the head of Shoutian Pavilion, go? Is the ancestor of Huashen in Wanshou Mountain?

After thinking for a long time and getting nothing, Lin Bai opened his eyes and took out a colorless jade cicada.

In the past, when I was at the Daoyin Sect's Wenjian Mountain, Senior Wood Demon gave me this jade cicada.

This jade cicada has no other effect, except that if the descendants of the wood demon hold such a thing, people within a hundred miles will feel it.

Of course, this colorless jade cicada also has a connection with Sister Zhen’s purple jade pendant.

Before setting off north, Xiuxiu said that the fox should be in the Zhouhui Mountain area, and Lin Bai also saw the fox and Sister Zhen when he broke through.

This man and the fox seemed to be lurking somewhere, and no one knew what they were planning.

The colorless jade cicada was held in his hand. After a while, it trembled slightly and emitted a faint glow.

"Zhou Hui Mountain is so vast, can Sister Zhen really be within a hundred miles?" Lin Bai was stunned.

Just as I was thinking about how to meet, the jade cicada stopped vibrating and returned to normal. It was obvious that Sister Zhen had cut off the communication.
