The Wheel-Turning Master.

Lin Bai thought he could live in the same room with Aunt Gu again, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the Water Curtain Cave, Gu Yao and Gu Jiuchong were already waiting for him.

The two of them are the only two Jindan in the Gu family. Lin Bai is from a different family, but he is not considered an outsider.

"The Northern Expedition has been decided." Gu Qingshui closed his eyes and spoke lightly.

This matter has been circulated for a long time. Now that he heard the news, Lin Bai was not too excited. He just asked curiously, "When are we leaving?"

"Within three months." Gu Qingshui said.

The battle between the two Yuanying sects was no small matter. Not to mention the preparation of various materials and the mobilization of manpower from all over, they also needed to communicate and win over all parties, which could not be done quickly.

Three months was considered fast, and it was obvious that the old man wanted to end the war quickly.

Of course, Ancestor Xiang must have been planning for a long time, and he may have been preparing privately for more than three years!

"How to fight?" Gu Yao asked.

"The troops will be divided into three groups. Jiang Xingchi and Xie Qingxuan will go first. On the left, Jiuzhashan Yan Qingfeng and Du Jueming will go. On the right, Senior Brother Yang and I will go."

Gu Qingshui closed his eyes and said calmly, "Who of you will follow me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three Jindans stepped forward at the same time.

Gu Qingshui opened his eyes, glanced at the three people, and said: "Lin Zhuanlun just came back, this time he will stay behind and practice well."

Seeing Auntie Gu's kindness, Lin Bai quickly expressed his loyalty and said, "Grandmaster, I am familiar with the route and I also know the details of the various sects along the way. I am willing to serve you!"

"The army is marching north, and you are not needed alone. You should guard Qiaoshan well." Gu Qingshui refused to give in.

Lin Bai was so moved that he almost cried. He wanted to say more but was stopped by Gu Jiuzhong again.

"My dear brother, you have great potential. You don't need to go to the front line to take risks. I will go on this trip." Gu Jiuzhong looked at Gu Yao again and said, "You are not good at fighting, so you should practice well at home."

"I am familiar with the formation, and this is when it will be useful!" Gu Yao was not convinced.

Seeing the three Jindan quarreling, Gu Qingshui waved his sleeves to calm them down and said, "Jiu Chong, go, you two stay at home."

Now that the ancestor has spoken, the matter is settled.

"The various sects and families below also need to contribute manpower and resources. You go and discuss this with Cheng Keshui." Gu Qingshui said no more and waved his hand to send the man away.

Lin Bai came here with great joy, but he was unable to enjoy the beauty and had to go back in depression.

"I know what you mean. The ancestor didn't let you go this time because he loves you." Seeing that Lin Bai was depressed, Gu Jiuzhong patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Lin Bai responded with a few words and returned to Chunhui Hall.

The two apprentices were nowhere to be seen and no one knew where they had gone.

When Lin Bai learned that he would not have to go to the front line with the Northern Expedition Army this time, he felt relieved. He simply closed the door and started thinking about practicing.

All the flying knives were destroyed and needed to be replaced as soon as possible. But if new flying knives were to be made, they could not be made the same way as before and needed to be carefully considered for the right materials.

"I don't know what's going on with that girl Dugu Jing. When I get back to Daoyin Sect, I'll go talk to old Mr. Dugu Hao..."

Lin Bai felt a little guilty for not giving the other person spirit stones the last time he threw the flying knife.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai took out the spoils he had gained on his journey north.

At that time, Xia Fenyi, Zhou Xian and Tang Yong went south to do business, and Lin Bai gained a lot of benefits.

Lin Bai took out the storage ring and carefully studied the restrictions on it. It took him a whole day to open it.

These three people are worthy of their origin from Shoutian Pavilion, as they have a very rich collection of treasures.

There were various talismans and several magic weapons. Especially the elixir, which was an extraordinary item. It was Yinhuo Mingchan Dan, which was used to help the golden elixir break through the small realm. There were also many elixirs that helped to build the foundation and break through the small realm. They should be used as rewards.

In addition, there were more than 70,000 high-quality spirit stones from Xia Fenyi's business trip southwards, plus Zhou Xian and Tang Yong's accumulation. There were also a few demon pills, but the quality was average.

Lin Bai sorted and put away the various elixirs, and also put away the other spiritual materials, such as spiritual herbs, in order to use them later.

There are also some extremely spiritual monster furs, which are used to make armor, robes, and even talismans.

There is also an account book of Xia Fenyi, which contains the production of various places in Shoutian Pavilion, but the records are extremely sloppy and simple.

After cleaning up, Lin Bai took out the fragments of the stone plate.

The two fragments have merged into one, fitting together so seamlessly that they seem to have been one and the same.

After pondering it for a long time, Lin Bai found it useless, so he put it away. Now he is at the second level of Jindan and the second level of Hunyuan, so he needs to have both.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai closed his eyes and meditated quietly.

Three days later, the two disciples and Cheng Shuang came to the door.

It turned out that Journey to the North had been revised and was sent to Lin Bai for inspection.

"What has this been changed to?" Lin Bai pulled Miaomiao and let her put her little face on the book. "The barbarians in the Northern Wilderness are coquettish and have repeatedly seduced me, but I have to follow the teachings of my ancestors and keep myself clean... I didn't seduce them! Don't write nonsense!"

Miaomiao quickly agreed.

Lin Bai flipped through it again and found no major problems. He only pointed out a few minor mistakes, such as challenging Wumuchun alone and challenging Wanshoushan in front of Kong Shu.

"What's going on outside?" Lin Bai started talking about trivial matters.

Miaomiao started talking about it right away, saying that all kinds of supplies had suddenly become three times more expensive, and that some sects and clans had even drawn lots to select people for the Northern Expedition.

"Where is your home?" Lin Bai looked at Miaomiao.

"Of course the ancestor has to go, and the clan leader has to go as well." Miaomiao sighed.

"If we can gain something from this trip, the benefits will be huge."

Since they are going to attack Shoutian Pavilion, Ancestor Xiang will not just rob Wanshou Mountain. When the time comes, he will reward people based on their merits. There are many treasures in Zhouhui Mountain, so they must be divided up.

Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yu again and asked, "Where is your home?"

"My sister isn't going..." Jiang Yu said.

This is the benefit of having a Yuanying at home. It’s just a matter of words whether to go or not.

Lin Bai looked at Cheng Shuang again.

"Don't look at me, I have to go!" Cheng Shuang was full of fighting spirit, "As the head of the sect, the ancestor needs to dispatch supplies in the rear, so we have to send people there too!"

Lin Bai didn't have much to say. He distributed some pills to the three people and then drove them out.

Five days later, Jing Situi came to say goodbye.

Lin Bai wrote back to Bi Huanqiu and invited all his friends to have a farewell drink.

The prices in Qiaoshan were rising, and Cheng Keshui also recruited many independent cultivators, all of whom were promised huge profits.

Moreover, they purchased supplies and magic tools from Yunxia Sect, Jiuyin Mountain, and even Daoyin Sect. It was clear that they were going to fight for a long time.

All the sects and forces in Qiaoshan must contribute people and materials. The Jindan forces must contribute Jindan, and the foundation-building families must contribute foundation-building. In addition, various tasks are assigned.

The Journey to the North was finally published. Because it described in detail the customs and geography of the various clans and sects in the north, the cowardice of the old people in Zhou Huishan, the wealth and enlightenment of Shoutian Pavilion, and even covered the fishing spots, the paper of Qiaoshan was in great demand for a time, and many independent cultivators came specially to sign up to go north, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

Two months later, the first batch of flying boats set off, led by Jiang Xingchi and Xie Qingxuan, an old friend of Zhou Huishan, as his deputy.

Later, the Jiuzhashan fleet also came and set off together with the Gu and Yang families.

"The ancestor didn't let me go and asked me to wait and see what was going on from behind." Yang Huan approached Lin Bai with a sullen tone.

Lin Bai had to comfort Sister Huanhuan for a long time before she became happy.

Then he was summoned by Jiang Xiaobai, and Lin Bai rushed there without stopping.

After finishing all this, Lin Bai bid farewell to Gu Yao, took his two disciples, and went to Daoyin Sect with Min Hengbo.

After arriving at the place, Lin Bai had a deep conversation with Mo Yingcheng for two days, and then went to find Dugu Hao.

Not long after, news about the Northern Expedition began to arrive.

The three armies marched northwards, without any sect or family blocking their way, but without any other forces joining in either.

However, he purchased various supplies from many Nascent Soul Sects, and they were all affordable or even low prices.

The army was huge and they stopped and moved along the way. They passed Wuque Mountain, crossed Yubi Mountain, took a short rest at Yinqie Mountain, and then headed back to the mountains.

Shoutian Pavilion was also ready, and all the monks retreated to the area of ​​300 miles below Wanshou Mountain. As for the ordinary people, only a part of them were taken away. No one cared about the rest for the time being, but the monks rarely slaughtered ordinary people.

What is strange is that although Mingqiaoshan’s northern expedition was for the old people of Zhouhuishan, Wuqueshan, Yubishan and Yinqieshan along the way were indifferent and chose to remain neutral.

The Northern Expedition Army spent four months and successfully entered the Zhouhui Mountain area. (End of this chapter)
