The Wheel-Turning Master.

Upon hearing that this person was Xie Qingxuan, Lin Bai was filled with respect.

Having previously studied the book Entering the Formation, Lin Bai knew that the author of this book must be a person with a broad mind and a far-sighted vision.

After learning that the author of the book was Xie Qingxuan, Lin Bai became even more interested and looked forward to meeting him.

I never thought I would see him so soon, and judging from the appearance and personality of this senior, he doesn't seem like the stubborn person who is painstakingly studying the art of alchemy and formations. Instead, he is free and easy, like the breeze and bright moon.

Lin Bai bowed and saluted, guessing that since Xie Qingxuan came here, he must have already mixed up with Ancestor Xiang. He must have made great contributions to the matter with Shoutian Pavilion this time, and it might even be him who instigated Ancestor Xiang.

"So you've been hooking up with Lao Xiang for a long time." Fox nestled in Xiuxiu's arms, with no respect in his words, obviously used to being lazy.

"Brother Xiang is well-informed. How can people like us who seek the truth not know him?" Xie Qingxuan said with a smile.

After hearing this, the fox looked at Xiang Wuhui, who was still holding the chess piece and thinking deeply in black clothes and black hair. In the end, he did not dare to say anything sarcastic.

"People say that fairies are born with a keen eye and are best at judging talents. Seeing you today, it is indeed true." Xie Qingxuan looked at Xiuxiu and took out a pearl. "The moon shadow in the deep pool should be this as the moon."

"Thank you for the gift, senior." Xiuxiu took it respectfully, and the fox was speechless.

Xie Qingxuan looked at Lin Bai again and said with a smile: "I heard that you are proficient in alchemy formations and your cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds. You are Junior Sister Gu's favorite general. What you said is true."

Lin Bai bowed again, but no one gave him a gift.

"I heard that it was you who plotted and killed Xia Fenyi and others?" Xie Qingxuan asked with a smile again.

"I just couldn't stand the behavior of the people in Shoutian Pavilion, and because my good friend was trapped by Xia Fenyi, I acted recklessly in a fit of anger." Lin Bai said honestly.

"In a fit of excitement? I don't think so."

Xie Qingxuan was as free and unrestrained as the breeze in the mountains. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you very much. I was originally at odds with Wumuchun, but your actions actually helped him to gain advantage of your power, which led to the incident at Yuliu Mountain."

He didn't hide it at all.

"But I think you are capable enough to withstand the power of the Divine Amulet." Xie Qingxuan said again.

“I don’t dare to accept the praise from the senior.” Lin Bai leaned forward and lowered his head.

"He does have some abilities." Xiang Wuhui put down the chess piece and said in a light voice, "He was able to kill the golden elixir when he was building his foundation. Now he has swallowed the elixir into his stomach, and he has a treasure. He borrows the power of the wood monster and imitates Chen Zhiyuan's sword. He has a natural power. He is no match for him."

Lin Bai quickly saluted Wu Hui.

Xiang Wuhui looked at Lin Bai and said, "You have tempered your body for many years, studied the way of alchemy, and practiced the method of formation and talismans, but you also chose the path of sword cultivation. It is good that you have achieved all these. However, your intention of earth fire is not high-level, and you have only imitated the purity of Chen Zhiyuan, but you have only got the surface, not the pure nature of his heart. If you want to walk the path of sword cultivation, you should understand your own way and your own sword."

Lin Bai had heard similar words before, and he mentioned them to the ancestor again this time. It might be a gesture of support, or it could be out of pity for the hardship of going north.

He quickly bowed down and said, "Thank you, ancestor, for your support."

Xiang Wuhui didn't say much and looked at the fox in Xiuxiu's arms again.

"Li Chenyu, the chill is hard to get rid of and has penetrated deep into your bones and marrow. How about your power of transformation into a spirit?" Xiang Wuhui asked.

"Nothing more than that." The fox snorted disdainfully. "If I hadn't saved this little pervert for the sake of the little water, how could I have done this?"

She was surprisingly stubborn and even cursed at me. I didn't know if it was because she was still angry or for some other reason.

Xie Qingxuan shook his head and laughed, saying: "The depth of the spirit is unfathomable, and every move he makes is true. The arrangements left by Wanshou Mountain are only one-hundredth as powerful as they are, and even the fairy is like this. If you come in person..."

He sighed and did not say anything else. He just looked at the fox again and said with a smile: "However, the fairy is very skilled and brave. Xie admires you."

The fox said nothing.

"Fairy, you went deep into Wanshou Mountain. Can you tell us about your experience?" Xie Qingxuan asked.

This is also the reason why Fox and Lin Bai were invited.

The fox sighed, and immediately started talking about everything in that small world, but she didn't say what she had taken, nor how she got rid of it.

"How is Kong Shu?" Xiang Wuhui didn't care what the fox stole.

"He is very measured in his actions. It is obvious that he has been through a lot of battles. The path he cultivates is similar to yours. As for who is stronger and who is weaker..."

The fox glanced at Xiang Wuhui and muttered, "Anyway, they are all better than me."

Her tone was quite aggrieved.

"A visitor from outside the region must be somewhat extraordinary." Xiang Wuhui nodded slightly, as if he was affirming Kong Shu, but also seemed to be disdainful.

"It's just a little surprising." Xie Qingxuan said with a smile.

Xiang Wuhui nodded slightly and said no more.

Seeing that Xiang Wuhui had lost interest in talking, everyone stopped disturbing him. Gu Qingshui rolled up Lin Bai and threw him into the Qiaoshan Hall, asking him to go see Jiang Xingchi.

But no one knew where the fox took Xiuxiu.

When we arrived outside the main hall, there were quite a few people gathered here, including those from the Qiaoshan Sect and several young people wearing Jiuzhashan uniforms.

Most of them were foundation-building cultivators, and when they saw Lin Bai coming, they all bowed and saluted.

"Master!" Miaomiao and Jiang Yu immediately rushed over, the two girls' eyes red.

Lin Bai asked everyone to stand up, then looked at his two disciples and asked, "Are you willing to practice?"

Miaomiao saw that the master was about to check the homework as soon as he opened his mouth, so he wiped his eyes and said, "Master is suffering outside, I can't sit or stand, how can I have the leisure time to practice?"

"That's enough!" Lin Bai poked Miaomiao's forehead with his finger, glared at her, looked at Jiang Yu, and asked, "Is she in trouble again?"

"No...no." Jiang Yu thought about it and then shook his head.

That means no trouble has been caused. Lin Bai glared at Miaomiao again, left his two disciples behind, and entered the hall.

Jiang Xingchi sat with his eyes closed. Cheng Keshui was discussing matters with Jing Shitui, the chief disciple of Jiuzha Mountain, while Min Hengbo listened quietly on the side.

"Senior." Lin Bai stepped forward and saluted.

Jiang Xingchi didn't even open his eyes, but just raised his hand slightly to indicate that there was no need to be polite.

Lin Bai saluted towards Cheng Jingmin and the other two.

"Junior brother." Cheng Keshui returned the greeting with a smile, very cordially.

Jing Si returned the greeting with a smile and was equally affectionate.

Min Hengbo was also very polite, unlike in the past when he wanted to duel with swords as soon as they met.

"Is everything going well?" Jiang Xingchi opened his eyes.

"After some twists and turns, I'm finally back." Lin Bai said.

Jiang Xingchi didn't ask any more questions, but looked outside, then stood up and went out.

Lin Bai and others hurried to follow.

After leaving the hall, I saw a green light in the sky, and then it fell outside the hall.

The visitor turned out to be Meng Shanhe, the master of Yinshan Mountain, and there were four other Jindan, all of whom were familiar faces. Except for Meng Yiwei, who was from Yinshan Mountain, the other three Jindan were actually cultivators from Shoutian Pavilion, led by Wu Muqian, with Xia He and Yu Xianping beside them.

There are also seven people who have established their foundation, all of them are young people, and judging by their clothing, they are also from Shoutian Pavilion.

Everyone in Shoutian Pavilion had an ugly look on their faces, especially Wu Muqian, who did not even look at Lin Bai, but Xia He and Yu Xianping stared at Lin Bai, as if they were going to pick someone to devour.

"Please don't be offended, Brother Jiang, as we have an unwelcome guest." Meng Shanhe smiled bitterly.

"Brother Meng is the distinguished guest we have been looking for." Jiang Xingchi smiled and looked at Wu Muqian and others.

Wu Muqian stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I am Wu Muqian, a disciple of Patriarch Kong of Shoutian Pavilion. I am here with Xia He and Yu Xianping to pay my respects to Senior Jiang Qiaoshan!"

Jiang Xingchi stroked his beard and praised, "I never thought that Senior Brother Kong would accept you as his disciple. You really have a good eye."

This sounds like a compliment, but it also doesn't sound like a compliment.

"You are all outstanding people." Jiang Xingchi seemed very happy. He pointed at Jing Situi and introduced him, "Brother Meng, this is the Lord of Jiuzha Mountain, Brother Lihuo's eldest disciple Jing Situi."

Jing Situi immediately stepped forward, saluted Meng Shanhe, and then saluted Wu Muqian and others.

Meng Shanhe raised his eyebrows, Wu Muqian and the other three hesitated for a moment before bowing.

Jiang Xingchi nodded at Min Hengbo again and introduced him, "This child is a disciple of Senior Brother Chen of Daoyin Sect. His name is Min Hengbo and he is also a sword cultivator. You should get to know him well in the future."

Min Hengbo never thought that she would see such a scene when she came to send someone off. She also didn't know why the people from Shoutian Pavilion came to Qiaoshan. Anyway, she just wanted to watch the fun. After all, the senior brother asked her to stay for a few more days.

After returning the greeting, Jiang Xingchi casually pointed at Cheng Keshui and Lin Bai and said, "This is Cheng Keshui, the general affairs director of my Qiaoshan Sect. As for Lin Zhuanlun, I believe you all know him. You may want to ask him to show you around later."

Jiang Xingchi was very kind to Wumuqian and others.

After the introduction, Jiang Xingchi affectionately pulled Meng Shanhe into the hall, and a group of Jindan followed.

The other foundation-building cultivators of Shoutian Pavilion were not qualified to enter and were led aside by Cheng Shuang and Cheng Daojin to chat.

The news that the Lord of Qiaoshan killed Yu Liushan of Shoutian Pavilion had spread a long time ago, but now people from Shoutian Pavilion came to visit, and it was Yinshan who did it. No one knew what it meant. Anyway, the disciples of Qiaoshan were talking about it in a mess.

A group of people looked at the people building the foundation of Shoutian Pavilion from afar, full of curiosity, pointing out their clothes and talking in low voices from time to time.

"Look at the seven of them. Three of them are wearing animal skins, like savages." Miaomiao hid aside, crossed her arms and tilted her head, muttering, "Look at that guy, he has a fox tail around his neck. No wonder the fairy wants to steal their things!"

"The case of stolen treasures has not been concluded yet. It's just a rumor among the people. Sister, please don't talk nonsense." Jiang Yu was a cautious person and reminded in a low voice.

"What kind of rumor? I think it's true." Miaomiao was very confident. "In my opinion, Master must have been involved! Alas, Master was so pure back then, but he was still deceived by the immortals..."

Jiang Yu couldn't stand it anymore and quickly covered Miaomiao's mouth.

"Say less." Jiang Yu was obviously older, but because she joined the sect late, she became a junior sister, but she always did the work of a senior sister. "The fairy has returned. You know what kind of personality she has! Junior Sister-in-law may not be able to protect you!"

"..." Miaomiao bit Jiang Yu's hand, then she was able to speak. She hummed twice, admitting it. While looking at the people in Shoutian Pavilion who were building their foundation, she whispered, "Has your sister come out of seclusion?"

"I've come out of confinement." Jiang Yu said.

“Tsk…” Miaomiao shook her head, mockingly saying, “She came out of seclusion as soon as Master came back. It’s obvious that she wants to take Master for granted!”

Jiang Yu held his forehead with his hand and was speechless.

Miaomiao looked like a wise person and said, "Your sister is a demander. Although the harmony of yin and yang is the truth, Master has to accompany the young mistress and discuss Taoism with Master Huanhuan. He has also been traveling outside for so long. His health is already poor, how can he bear your sister?" She held her hands in front of her chest and said seriously, "Your sister is definitely not a good person. Talk to her and tell her to stop playing with Master!"

"Why don't you go and tell him?" Jiang Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

"How dare I? I am always scolded for no reason!" Miaomiao finally revealed the personal grudge, and then said: "I can see clearly that the young master's wife is thin-skinned and easy to talk to, while Master Huanhuan's wife is the best at paying for herself, and your sister is the one who is scheming."

"My sister said you are the most cunning one." Jiang Yu retorted.

"They are wrongly accusing an honest man like me." Miaomiao muttered.

Jiang Yu did not say any more. Seeing that the foundation builders of Shoutian Pavilion were talking to Cheng Daojin and his sister from the Cheng family, he asked, "Why did Shoutian Pavilion come to our house? What are they going to do?"

"What else can we do? I think they are most likely to seek peace." Miaomiao casually pointed out, "Although his ancestor Huashen is not at home, it's not like he won't come back. Just hold your breath for now, it won't be too late to settle the score later."

“That doesn’t mean we should go to their house and ask for peace, right?” Jiang Yu was puzzled.

"They definitely won't ask for peace. They're probably trying to drag it out." Miao Miao put her hands on her hips, very confident, "Grandmaster Xiang is so powerful. I won't fight him even if he lets me go. Even if I lose face now, I can make it up later!"

She has always been flexible and she thinks others are the same.

Jiang Yu thought about it and nodded, as if he was convinced.

As the two were talking, they saw a foundation-building cultivator from Shoutian Pavilion walking forward side by side with Cheng Daojin.

"I am Xia Ying from Shoutian Pavilion." The female foundation-building cultivator looked at the disciples of Qiaoshan and announced her name loudly. She raised her head and said, "I have heard that there are many talented people in Qiaoshan. Today, I am fortunate to be here and would like to learn a thing or two!"

This was a challenge, how could he not respond? A group of people gathered around him, making a lot of noise, pointing and talking.

However, Qiaoshan had not been affected by war for many years, and the monks were more reserved. Even those who were skilled in fighting would not show up for a while.

Cheng Daojin smiled and said, "Since you are so willing, I, the disciple of Qiaoshan, will accompany you. Please tell me in detail how you would like to compete."

"No need to bother. Just send out three people each to fight. No matter the casualties." Xia Ying looked around at the disciples of Zhuqiaoshan.

Xiang Wuhui had just destroyed the Nascent Soul Yuliu Mountain not long ago. The low-level disciples of Qiaoshan would not think too much about it. They were already feeling proud of it. After hearing this, they all started to make a fuss.

"Look, the big shots are discussing things inside, but they let the foundation-building masters show up to fight. I think they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They are probably here to negotiate peace!" Miaomiao saw Cheng Daojin smiling at her, so she smiled back from a distance, then turned her head and whispered to Jiang Yu, "Did your Jiang Qingzhi marry a fool? Why is he smiling at us?"

When he went north earlier, Jiang Xingchi promised Jiang Qingzhi from the Jiang family to Cheng Daojin from the Cheng family as a gesture of appeasement.

"Nothing like that." Jiang Yu said immediately.

The crowd over there was making a lot of noise, and they had already pushed out three monks, all of whom were experts in fighting, including Gu Wushang.

"Old Gu still knows how to fight? It would be better to let Gu Lianzhu go. He can hold back his tears when being beaten. At least he can still save some dignity." Miaomiao couldn't help laughing.

Just as they were watching the excitement, Xia Ying from the Shoutian Pavilion crossed her arms and said loudly, "I heard that Senior Guishan Zhuanlun has two talented disciples. I wonder if they are here today?"

As she spoke, Xia Ying looked around at everyone, and her gaze fell on Miaomiao and Jiang Yu from afar.

This is a challenge!
"I finally understand why Cheng Daojin smiled at us!" Miaomiao acted calm and said to Jiang Yu in a low voice, "Master is so good at fighting, Old Cheng thought we can fight too! Old Cheng misled me!"

"Senior Sister, we can't lose our momentum!" Jiang Yu was the most clear-headed and knew that he had to accept the challenge today.

Miaomiao gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and Jiang Yu immediately followed.

The two girls were calm and confident, and indeed had the demeanor of masters.

"Miao Miao, we are all old people in Qiaoshan, so don't lose face!" someone shouted.

"Miao Miao, Xiao Yuer, cheer up!" Gu Lianzhu pulled a group of people and shouted.

Miaomiao immediately straightened her clothes, smoothed her sleeves, and strode forward.

Seeing Miaomiao's confident attitude, the people from Qiaoshan behind him all gave her a thumbs up, "Great! Miaomiao, well done!" (End of this chapter)
