The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 320 Treasure Stealing
Three days later, Bi Huanqiu left with Jiang Xingchi.

He went silently, and no one knew where he went or who was with him.

Anyway, judging from the situation, it doesn't seem like they are just doing the job casually, but they really want to capture Xie Qingxuan.

Without the Nascent Soul to take care of him, Lin Bai didn't know what to do, so he took Cheng Yuanli with him to find Wumuqian.

After talking for a long time, he didn't get a single useful word out of him. Wumu Qian just said that Shoutian Pavilion was the master of the East China Sea and that people with aspirations should come to Shoutian Pavilion to seek the truth.

After farting, Lin Bai found Yang Shu’s cave again and injected several streams of spiritual power into it.

"I'm in seclusion!" Yang Shu opened the door helplessly, "I can see that the elixir is about to form!"

"According to your estimate, how long will it take?" Lin Bai asked.

Now that Jiang Xingchi is out, he asked Yang Shu to take care of himself before leaving. Lin Bai always feels that something is not good and does not want Yang Shu to stay here for long.

"Half a year!" Yang Shu was full of confidence.

"Tell the truth." Lin Bai didn't believe it.

"Just one or two years!" Yang Shu changed his tone.

After getting the confirmation, Lin Bai no longer paid any attention to it and returned to the Underworld Fire Cave Mansion.

The Colorless Jade Cicada still did not respond, and Sister Zhen and the fox were still lurking.

"Although there is only one Nascent Soul left in Shoutian Pavilion, the ancestor Huashen is still in charge of Wanshou Mountain. Even if ten foxes come, they can't accomplish anything! Unless Huashen is not at home! But even if Huashen goes out to visit relatives, he will come back one day!"

Lin Bai cursed the fox for a while and then continued to temper his body.

In order to avoid being disturbed by women, Lin Bai was extremely careful and only went out once every month or so.

He practiced without day or month, and in a hurry, more than half a year had passed. He had successfully tempered his body with fire-attributed spiritual energy and had reached the second level of Hunyuan.

Looking closely at my body, I find it round and smooth. The five elements flow through my flesh, blood, tendons and bones, and there is an endless flow of life, giving me a sense of harmony.

The remaining sense of destruction in the body was integrated into the five elements, and they consumed each other, becoming less and less.

"If I can resist the Divine Transformation Amulet again this time, I should be able to recover faster."

Thinking of this, Lin Bai meditated in silence for another half a month before coming out of retreat.

He first went to Keju to look for Cheng Yuanli, but he was in seclusion. Then he went to look for Yang Shu, but he was also in seclusion.

Lin Bai didn't have any friends in Shoutian Pavilion, so he could only go to Wumuqian.

"So harmonious and perfect. Congratulations, Junior Brother, for making further progress." Wu Muqian couldn't stop praising Lin Bai as soon as he saw him.

"But I have made some progress, but not as good as my senior brother." Lin Bai was also very humble.

The two chatted for a while before Lin Bai asked, "Brother Wumu, your sect leader has been away for more than half a year. I wonder how Xie Qingxuan is doing?"

"Junior brother, you are missing Junior Sister Bi, right?" Wu Muqian smiled knowingly and said, "Come to think of it, I thought Senior Jiang would take you with him, but he brought Junior Sister Bi instead. It would be good if he could take both of you with him."

As he spoke, he blinked his eyes, as if to say, I see through you.

"I originally thought that I could help you with some of my own efforts and see the world, but Senior Jiang thought that I had low moral character and couldn't be pushed too much because of Ancestor Gu, so he kept me here." Lin Bai sighed repeatedly, "Besides, I started out as an alchemist, and although I also practiced formations, I have only dabbled in this field. In terms of background and vision, I am far inferior to Senior Sister Bi."

"Didn't you coax me into bed?" Wu Muqian smiled happily and whispered, "If you are lonely, my Wu Mu family has several girls who are as pretty as Sister Bi."

"This..." Lin Bai was stunned.

After traveling north for a long time, Lin Bai got to know Shoutian Pavilion better and better. The people in Shoutian Pavilion had a very high opinion of themselves, and very few monks married outside the palace.

As for ordinary people, some also married Zhou Huishan's old people, but they either married them into the family or married them into the wife's family, and rarely pushed their own family members out.

Shoutian Pavilion is detached from the mundane world and has formed a unique community of its own, impenetrable to any external forces.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the people of Shoutian Pavilion think too highly of themselves and feel that outsiders are inferior. In the past, although the old people of Zhou Huishan quarreled and fought, most of the lower-level disciples were married, and later they were never integrated into the Shoutian Pavilion, which was also the reason why Shoutian Pavilion rarely married.

However, over the years, the number of ordinary people in Shoutian Pavilion has gradually increased, and there have been marriages between the younger generations of Huo Taiping's family. I don't know whether this is open-minded or a move to win over the family.

When Lin Bai heard that Wu Muqian was coming to send his daughter off, he couldn't believe it.

However, Lin Bai thought that although he was not inferior to the monks of Shoutian Pavilion, he had no interest in the people of Shoutian Pavilion.

"Senior Jiang is working outside, how can I enjoy myself in the back?" Lin Bai politely refused, and then asked: "I wonder if Sect Leader Xia has sent back any news? Is Xie Qingxuan executed?"

"Chasing after the Nascent Soul is not an easy task?" Wu Muqian smiled, clearly not worried at all, and said, "It may not be possible in three to five years. But our leader is the most persistent, and he wants to use this to establish his authority, so I'm afraid he has to kill Xie Qingxuan."

"I heard that Xie Qingxuan is proficient in formations, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." Lin Bai sighed.

"The master is carrying a secret treasure. As long as we can find it, killing a mere Nascent Soul—" Wu Muqian stretched out his hand, turned it over, and said with a smile: "It's as easy as pie."

If someone else said this, Lin Bai would have ridiculed him a long time ago, but since he has the God Transformation Ancestor as his support, he really isn't exaggerating.

"I don't know when I will have the honor to meet the Patriarch Huashen." Although Lin Bai said this, he was actually afraid of meeting the Patriarch Huashen in his heart.

"There will always be a chance." Wu Muqian smiled and patted Lin Bai's shoulder. "Now the sect is led by my ancestor. If there is a chance, I will take you with me."

He smiled happily and added, "I have long admired Senior Gu's elegance and grace, and I hope she can come to Shoutian Pavilion and sit with me."

Lin Bai smiled and thought that given Aunt Gu's personality, it would be difficult to get her to change sides.

"I had the same idea, but Senior Jiang asked me to stay behind..." Lin Bai sighed and said, "Cheng Yuanli and Yang Shu are in seclusion again. I thought that when they come out, I would let them return to Qiaoshan so that they can send a message for me!"

"That's right! The sooner you come, the sooner you can benefit!" Wu Muqian actually took it seriously, holding Lin Bai's arm, and whispered: "Now my ancestor is in charge, and he plans to change the previous rules of Shoutian Pavilion. You see Zhou Huishan is so vast, but there are not many people. The ancestor wants to recruit some sects and families, and they will all become Shoutian Pavilion's own people in the future, and we will fight for the sect together! After a thousand or hundred years, why worry about not having another god?"

Why don't you bring back Zhou Huishan's old friends first? Is it because you've hurt them too much and you're afraid of them?
Hearing this, Lin Bai showed admiration on his face and said, "Senior Wu Mu is very far-sighted! In my opinion, Senior Wu Mu is the most suitable person to be the head of the sect!"

"Who says it's not true? It's just that Xia Yufeng came a few years earlier and took the credit for pioneering the area, so he was appointed as the head of the sect by the Jade Pot Patriarch." Wu Muqian stopped calling him head of the sect and called him by his name, saying disdainfully, "If it weren't for this, what merit and ability would Xia Yufeng have?"

"I believe that Senior Wumu's innovation will surely bring new vitality to Shoutian Pavilion. When Patriarch Huashen sees them, he will definitely know who is wise and who is foolish! At that time, the position of the head of the sect will definitely have to be changed!" Lin Bai flattered.

"You can't say that, my dear brother. The three Yuanyings in my Shoutian Pavilion are all sages. We just have a temporary difference of opinion." Although Wumu Qian said this, he smiled even more happily.

If everyone is virtuous, does that mean that everyone is not virtuous?

"I still think that Senior Wumu is approachable. If Ancestor Gu asked me who is the best among the three seniors of Shoutian Pavilion, I would only recognize Senior Wumu!" Lin Bai said honestly.

Wumu Qian became even happier. He fetched some fine wine and drank it.

After three rounds of drinks, the two chatted more and more happily. Lin Bai took the opportunity to ask for some fine wines that were specialties of the Northern Wilderness. He also said that he had found a treasure trove and hoped to learn the alchemy methods of the Huashen Sect.

Wumuqian agreed immediately and started boasting that someone would come from his hometown in a few days.

This guy brags when he drinks too much, and his drinking behavior is not as good as Yang Shu's. However, he also has some superiority in the Shoutian Pavilion and never lies. This matter cannot be ignored.

Now Fox and Sister Zhen are lurking. If they want to cause trouble, Wumuchun with only one Yuanying will naturally be unable to defend against them. If there are a few more Yuanyings, I'm afraid Fox will be caught by the tail.

Moreover, the exact reason for the migration of the Northern Wilderness to the south has not yet been clarified.

Lin Bai had inquired about it before. The ordinary people in Shoutian Pavilion naturally didn't know about it, and the old people in Zhou Huishan couldn't say anything. The cultivators in Shoutian Pavilion just said that the ancestor had ordered people to move south, and there was nothing unusual in their hometown.

Quickly pouring more wine, Lin Bai asked curiously: "Brother Wu Mu, is another Yuanying senior coming?"

Wu Muqian smiled but said nothing.

Lin Bai, under the influence of alcohol, asked again: "Brother Wu Mu, with the foundation of your sect, there must be more than one God-transforming ancestor, right?"

Wu Muqian raised his eyes and shook his head slightly, "I was born after the migration to the south, and I haven't been to my hometown yet. But if you are talking about the ancestors of the God of Transformation, haha, there is indeed more than one in my hometown."

Why did you move from the Northern Wilderness? Or did you separate the family like ordinary people? Lin Bai wanted to ask more, but Wu Muqian stopped talking.

After drinking, Wumu Qian pointed out a foundation-building master from his own family to Lin Bai, named Wumu Ya, who was specifically responsible for guiding and accompanying him.

This Wumuya is similar to Wumuqian, with a good temper, and is also an alchemist.

Lin Bai has a talented disciple like Miaomiao, and he can see the evil spirit of the little girl at a glance.

As an alchemist, Wumuya is not very good at dealing with people. His hidden skills are far inferior to Miaomiao's. He cannot hide his true nature, and he unconsciously reveals a bit of contempt for others.

“In fact, although the people of Shoutian Pavilion are a bit arrogant, they are not very cunning. If it weren’t for the God-Transforming Ancestor, they would have been played to death long ago…”

Lin Bai estimated that if he pulled Miaomiao over, she would be able to become the king among the younger generation.

Following this, Wumu Ya found an old alchemist from the Wumu family, named Wumu Duan.

This Wu Muduan might have had dealings with Zhou Huishan's alchemist, so he didn't look down on Lin Bai. Instead, he was very interested in discussing alchemy with Lin Bai.

The two chatted for three days, and Wu Muduan had a higher opinion of Lin Bai, so the conversation went deeper and deeper.

"You want to please the female cultivator..."

"It's not flattery, it's a gift."

"When giving gifts to female cultivators, apart from items that are compatible with each other, or elixirs that can improve one's realm and level, or break through obstacles, there is a miraculous elixir in our hometown that is most suitable."

"Appreciate further details!"

"Our hometown is located in a land of ice and snow, and it is extremely cold, so the elixirs have always taken the approach of increasing warmth and nourishment. However, my family has another elixir recipe, called Ice Skin and Jade Bone Pill, which can slow down aging, maintain youthful complexion, and enhance beauty. It has always been selling well in my hometown! But after coming here, I am short of materials, and I am too lazy to make it again."

Lin Bai had nothing to do anyway, so he said a lot of nice things and took out a bottle of Mengyu Pill to exchange for the pill recipe.

Wu Muduan thought about it for a moment and agreed, and gave Lin Bai three spiritual materials for the trial.

Originally, a bottle of Dream Fish Pill could never be exchanged for the pill recipe, but one of the main ingredients needed for the Ice Skin and Jade Bone Pill was a specialty of the Northern Wilderness, otherwise it would be impossible to refine it.

This is also the reason why Wumuduan is so generous. Even if he knew the recipe of the pill, it would be useless without the materials.

From then on, Lin Bai discussed alchemy with Wumu Duan, and from time to time he went out to instruct the Wumu family's children and help with alchemy without charging any spirit stones, looking like he was willing to serve them.

Because of this, Lin Bai's popularity improved a lot, and he picked up Journey to the North and started writing casually again.

After half a year, there was still no news of Xie Qingxuan, Sister Zhen and Fox did not show up either, but Yang Shu came out.

He has completed his foundation building. Lin Bai found Cheng Yuanli and together they talked to Yang Shu about how to deal with disasters for a few days.

Afterwards, Lin Bai also went into seclusion to practice quietly. Now that he has reached the second level of Golden Elixir, he should forge ahead courageously.

Another half year passed quickly and Yang Shu came to the door again.

He has already reached perfection, and is only waiting for the pill tribulation.

Lin Bai had already asked Wumuqian to find a place to face the calamity, which was a mountain, a fourth-level spiritual place.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Bai called Cheng Yuanli who was in seclusion, and asked Wu Muya to invite Wu Muqian.

Soon, Cheng Yuanli hurried over, Wumuqian also came, and there were many low-level disciples who came to watch the ceremony.

It is not a trivial matter for a cultivator to form a pill. Even though the people in Shoutian Pavilion are used to looking down on others, they also know that watching the thunder tribulation is an opportunity.

"If I have any problem, please pass this letter to Yingqiu. She is the one I feel the most sorry for..."

Yang Shu, on the other hand, started to hesitate. He took out the letter and handed it to Lin Bai, then said, "I had originally planned to go fishing with your Jiang Yu. She is a good person and never cheats, unlike Miao Miao..."

"Jiang Yu is indeed a gentleman." Cheng Yuanli nodded in agreement.

Lin Bai held his forehead in silence.

Seeing that Yang Shu was about to continue talking, Lin Bai quickly stopped him.

"As cultivators, we should be courageous and courageous. You are so fussy and make people laugh at you for no reason! If Gu Feixue were here, she would definitely disdain your actions!" Lin Bai encouraged.

Sure enough, when Gu Feixue was mentioned, Yang Shu cheered up a lot, but then became depressed again, "You have to be nicer to Feixue."

"She is from the Gu family and doesn't need others to be nice to her. You too should be self-reliant!" Lin Bai said.

"Don't be ridiculous. Feixue's progress was slow before. It was you who said you would do this and that to her after she formed the elixir. She was motivated and slowly caught up. Miaomiao had already told Yingqiu about it when she sold her the Tiger and Wolf Pill!" Yang Shu was very unconvinced.

"..." Lin Bai felt a headache when he heard his apprentice. He sighed helplessly and waved his hand, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting!"

Only then did Yang Shu sit down cross-legged and swallow the pill.

Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli went down the mountain and sat down with Wu Muqian to wait for the ceremony.

There are also two other golden elixirs, one male and one female, both from the Wumu family.

After pouring some wine and exchanging pleasantries, Lin Bai then asked about Xie Qingxuan.

"We have found his trace, but this beast is good at using formations. We are just trapped now and have not been able to capture him yet." Wu Muqian smiled proudly, "My ancestor has sent out a letter and invited people from Xuyun Sect, Tianyan Sword Sect and Yuanying Shi Clan to help. I believe we will be able to capture him soon."

Did he really find someone? How did Wu Muqian figure it out? Lin Bai was puzzled, but he could only praise him.

After waiting for three days, disaster clouds finally appeared in the sky.

The calamity clouds had been brewing for a long time, and the first calamity thunder fell, followed by continuous ones.

Yang Shu was born in a Yuanying family. He had a very solid foundation and had been tempering his body with medicinal baths for many years, so it was easy for him to deal with the first six thunder tribulations.

"There are so many talented people in Qiaoshan!" Wu Muqian exclaimed.

"We still need to borrow the precious land to make the journey." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Seeing the seventh thunderbolt coming down, Yang Shu seemed to be unable to hold on. He could barely withstand the eighth thunderbolt, but the ninth thunderbolt did not fall for a long time, as if it was preparing to strike with all its strength.

Lin Bai watched silently, hoping that Yang Shu could make further progress. However, he felt a little restless in his heart, and he didn't know why.

This pill calamity caused a lot of noise. Regardless of whether the cultivators of Shoutian Pavilion came to see it or not, most of them were paying attention to this side. There was only one Yuanying left in Shoutian Pavilion. If they wanted to cause trouble...

Lin Bai took out the transparent jade cicada, only to find that it was still motionless and did not respond at all.

At this moment, the ninth thunder came down, as if it was going to overturn the sky.

The power of the thunder was so great, but an extremely vast roar came from a distance, which actually covered up the sound of the thunder.

Everyone stood up immediately, without even taking the time to look at Yang Shu's response to the disaster, and all looked towards the northwest.

Five or six hundred miles to the northwest is the blessed land of Wanshou Mountain, where the gods sit and guard!

Wumuqian immediately flew up, and Lin Bai and others followed immediately.

A huge figure can still be seen among the vast clouds and mist in the northwest.

Even though they were very far apart, Zhu Jindan felt a trembling feeling in his heart.

The huge figure stood upright, holding a jade pot in his hand, as if looking for something, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Is this the action of the Incarnation God? No, the pressure is fleeting, something is not right. It seems to be the magical power of the guardian, not the Incarnation God himself!"

Lin Bai murmured in his heart, and felt the colorless jade cicada in his hand tremble slightly, and then it was silent.
