The Wheel-Turning Master.

"That's Senior Zhuanlun!"

"Sure enough, he is handsome! I heard that he was born as an alchemist and later learned formations. He is an extremely remarkable person. And his Taoist partner is our Senior Sister Pei! Wow, they are truly a match made in heaven!"

"Why do you think Pei Ning came to our house to become our disciple? I heard that Senior Zhuan Lun was actually Gu's lover in private... Pei Ning was not tolerated by Gu, so she came to our ancestor. Our ancestor loved her for her extraordinary talent, and Senior Zhuan Lun went around asking for help, so we became his disciple!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Senior Zhuanlun is as kind as a spring breeze and treats people warmly. Yesterday, Junior Sister Yang met him by chance and asked him about the way of alchemy. He taught her carefully and praised her for her extraordinary talent, allowing her to ask questions if she had any questions! How could such a handsome and gentle person be someone else's lover? Senior Sister, you have a very dirty mind!"

"Why would I lie to you? I think you are stupid. She is just trying to please you, but you are aroused? How do you compare to Pei Ning in appearance? Besides, Zou Mi, a Yuanying of Shoutian Pavilion, chased Senior Zhuanlun for 20,000 miles because of his stunning beauty. He just wanted to spend a night with her, but Senior Zhuanlun thought Zou Mi was vulgar and refused to bend over. This is a well-known fact!"

"Everyone knows? I don't think so. It's just a rumor! You people are just jealous of others' talents!"

"Haha, why are you angry? I'm telling the truth, as written in Senior Zhuan Lun's Journey to the North! Also, there's news from the frontline that when the army pressed to Wanshou Mountain, Zou Mi personally went out to scold Senior Gu for not...having the nerve to do that...he even specifically asked where Senior Zhuan Lun was! Why would a high-ranking Yuanying cultivator care about a Jindan beginner? Haha, so many people are watching, I can't lie!"

"You're lying. I heard that Senior Zhuan Lun stole the treasure of Shoutian Pavilion. There's a reason for that. Is it true... is it true? Then where can I buy Journey to the North?"

"Only the Wangutang of the Dugu family has it, but it's in short supply and the price is not low. There are also two volumes, the outer volume contains the customs, geography, and cultural specialties of various places, while the inner volume contains many secrets and pictures... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Senior Zhuanlun is really a romantic figure who doesn't even let go of the barbarians from outside the region..."

"...Impossible! I know Dugu Tong, I'll go ask..."

The two of them whispered for a long time, glanced from afar at Senior Zhuanlun who was teaching his beloved disciple, and without even going to greet him, they turned around and went to Wangutang to buy Journey to the North.

When Lin Bai came to Daoyin Sect, he had no burden. He spent the whole day either chatting with Pei Ning, meeting friends, or preaching.

The two disciples were also busy, plotting something with Dugu Jing and were nowhere to be seen all day.

Lin Bai was afraid that his two disciples would miss out on their training, so he called the three of them over and gave them a good lesson.

"Miao Miao, stop wandering around and don't tell me about meeting friends! And Xiao Yu'er, you came here to practice, not to fish all day!"

Lin Bai acted like a strict teacher, with his hands behind his back, "Everyone go to seclusion! From now on, Dugu Jing will serve me!"

"Yes." The three girls responded obediently.

Seeing Miaomiao hesitated to speak, Lin Bai poked her forehead and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master, Journey to the North has been sold everywhere recently, but..." Miaomiao took a deep breath and whispered, "But someone pirated it and made an inner volume of Journey to the North, falsely claiming it was written by Master, and it contains a lot of erotic content!"

"..." Lin Bai had a headache and asked, "Feng Yue? How Feng Yue?"

"It is said that Master once captured Xia He from Shoutian Pavilion, played with her and then released her. It is also said that he seduced Senior Bi from Jiuzha Mountain, who seemed to be present in person. It is also said that Master was loved by Zou Mi from Shoutian Pavilion, and chased her thousands of miles just for a night of pleasure... The picture is so real." Miaomiao whispered.

"Check! Check!" Lin Bai was exhausted. "Go find Mo... Forget it, he is preparing for his wedding. Go find Dugu Yan and Shen Qiyun!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai arranged more than a dozen pill bottles, obviously not wanting to let the horse lack grass!
Miaomiao and Jiang Yu received the order, immediately signed a military order, and went there happily.

"Alas, the world has misled me greatly!" Lin Bai sighed, and brought Dugu Jing to Wangugu Mountain, where he found old man Dugu Hao.

Lin Bai's flying knife was destroyed by someone, so as soon as he arrived at Daoyin Sect, he went to find Dugu Hao.

Now that four months have passed, Lin Bai naturally wants to come and check on the progress.

"No rush." ​​Dugu Hao looked older and had a big beard. He took out a flying knife and showed it to Lin Bai. He explained, "You have too many flying knives to make. It will take another two or three months. Besides, all kinds of materials are going to Qiaoshan now. Not only are the prices high, but it is also difficult to collect them."

The material of this batch of flying knives was carefully discussed by Lin Bai and Dugu Hao. Since they did not need to carry the meaning of earth fire, there was no need for blue flame red crystal stones.

Although Lin Bai has not yet realized the sword intent that suits himself, he has actually walked out of his own way, which is to use the flying knife to carry his own innate magical power, that is, the method of reincarnation and death of the dead wood cicada, and the rotation of time.

Therefore, we choose to use Qingxian refined iron, which is pure and sharp.

Qingxian iron is hard to come by, and most of it is produced with spirit stone ores, so the output is very low. And the purest Qingxian refined iron is even harder to find, and the price is needless to say.

Two batches of flying knives were made previously, each with 108, plus various auxiliary spiritual materials, totaling three to four thousand high-quality ones.

Old man Dugu Hao has not yet made an offer, but Lin Bai thinks he should double it. But Lin Bai is not worried, because Xia Fenyi of Shoutian Pavilion will treat him this time.

Lin Bai took over a sample of the flying knife, it felt heavy in his hand and when he examined it carefully, he felt that it had a pure quality and was sharp.

"The old man is indeed a master of weapon refining!" Lin Bai praised immediately.

Seeing this, Dugu Hao stroked his beard complacently and said, "I have been immersed in this art for nearly five hundred years. The master once asked me to forge a sword for him!"

After they talked for a while, Lin Bai finally asked about the price.

"Hey, you and I are not outsiders, and Jing'er is learning skills from you. How can I accept your spirit stones for such a small matter?" Dugu Hao said tremblingly.

Lin Bai was deeply moved by the other person's sincerity, and he couldn't let the other person's efforts go in vain.

The two of them refused for a long time, but Dugu Hao was very determined and finally only accepted one thousand high-quality spirit stones.

Lin Baiqing knew that he had taken advantage of the other party, so after bringing Dugu Jing back to Yushan Mountain, he specifically taught the child about formations.

Dugu Jing is indeed talented in the art of formation, and he is also able to keep his composure, and has a bit of the dullness of Gu Yao back then.

But Gu Yao was brave enough to fight to the death when she was ruthless, and she almost died in Mianlong Mountain. Dugu Jing had never been in a battle, and although Lin Bai always gave him advice, he still lacked experience.

A few days later, Miaomiao, Duguyan and others brought a man to find Lin Bai, saying that they had found the person who stole the inner volume of Journey to the North.

It turned out to be a woman. After asking, it turned out to be quite a person. She said that she had received the order from Fairy Chen Yu, and that Huang Ruhua had taught her about the romantic affairs, and that she had obtained scriptures from Longmenfang.

Seeing that the man had taken out the fairy's token, the tail hair, Lin Bai had no way of teaching him a lesson any more. He just scolded him a few words and let him go.

"Other Yuanying high-level cultivators are either meditating in the cave, or secretly planning something earth-shattering, but the fox is always out of tune! She has the face of a wife, but she only does obscene things that concubines do!" Lin Bai cursed in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't lose face in front of his apprentice, so he forced a smile and said, "The fairy loves me, and this is to urge me to concentrate on my cultivation and not let external affairs disturb my mind! The fairy really has good intentions!"

Jiang Yu and Dugu Jing suddenly understood, and Miaomiao nodded absentmindedly.

After sending his disciples away, Lin Bai concentrated on his practice.

Since coming to the Daoyin Sect, Lin Bai put aside the method of Hunyuan Body Tempering, and apart from social engagements, he devoted himself to improving his realm.

Another month passed, and Mo Yingcheng and Li Wusheng's wedding came as scheduled.

Generally speaking, most monks don't talk about this. Even if they form a Taoist couple, they will at most invite their friends to drink.

However, some things are different, and some are handled with great fanfare like ordinary couples, such as Yang Shu and Gai Yingqiu. Of course, it was because Gai Yingqiu pursued her relentlessly, but it was also because Gai Chengfei became the head of the Tianchi Sect.

This is an act of marriage, and also a means for the Yang family to recruit the Gai family and stabilize the Gai family.

Of course, although Yang Shu still misses Gu Feixue, he and Gai Yingqiu are in harmony with each other, and Gai Yingqiu even goes to Miaomiao to buy Tiger and Wolf Pills.

The same is true of Mo Yingcheng and Li Wusheng's marriage.

They had been in love with each other before, but because Li Wusheng had great potential, Taoist Lihuo refused to let him go, and Chen Tianren couldn't get him to let go even if he tried to beg him.

But now Jiuzha Mountain was involved in the Northern Expedition by Qiaoshan. Taoist Lihuo was unable to handle the internal affairs of Jiuzha Mountain, so he threw Li Wusheng out and brought in Chen Tianren as foreign aid.

Although Chen Tianren didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, he agreed because he could get a daughter-in-law for free.

This was a grand event for the Daoyin Sect and Jiuzha Mountain. Chen Tianren showed up in person, and Jiuzha Mountain’s Lihuo Taoist also showed up.

The two Yuanyings are extremely harmonious.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jing Shitui found Lin Bai.

Jing Si Tui was quite exhausted. "I have to worry about my junior sister's affairs, suppress the noise in the sect, and ensure that the supplies are not missing. It's really difficult!"

He was the same as Mo Yingcheng, both of them were masters who didn't take care of things, and the apprentice took on the responsibility. Mo Yingcheng had Chen Tianren's full support, but there were many factions in Jiuzha Mountain, and Jing Shitui was tortured beyond recognition.

The two chatted for a while and talked about the war in the north.

Now that the Northern Expedition Army is approaching, Shoutian Pavilion has shrunk its front line and cleared the countryside. One side is guarding Wanshou Mountain, relying on the newly arrived Sanyuanying such as Kong Shu; the other side is defending Heifeng Mountain, relying on Xia Yufeng and Huo Taiping.

The two places are thousands of miles apart, forming a pincer attack.

The Northern Expedition Army was originally divided into three groups, but there were no obstacles along the way. After arriving at the place, Yang Gu and his two Yuanying from Qiaoshan confronted Wanshou Mountain, while Yan Qingfeng and Du Jueming from Jiuzha Mountain attacked Heifeng Mountain.

Jiang Xingchi is in charge of the Northern Expedition. Wanshou Mountain has been surrounded but not attacked, and now troops are only deployed on Black Wind Mountain.

"Is there any news about my junior brother?" Jing Situi asked Lin Bai.

Lin Bai had no news. Although Gu Yao would send more news as soon as the battle reports from the front reached Qiaoshan, there was no big news.

I heard that the two sides fought several times, but it was always the Jindan who ended up losing, with some winning and some losing, and both sides are still testing each other.

"I am a hermit now." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Junior brother, you have a lot of leisure time living independently in seclusion. It shows that Master Gu loves you very much." Jing Si said.

Lin Bai was about to nod, but saw Jing Shitui smiling.

"Brother, rumors stop at the wise." Lin Bai's face darkened.

Jing Si stopped laughing and said, "Although the Northern Expedition Army is very powerful now, if you look closely, we are wasting our troops on the Northern Expedition. The Shoutian Pavilion has the remains of the Divine Transformation, and the protective formation cannot be easily broken. And although they have fewer Nascent Soul cultivators, they are also full of talented people."

"What do you mean, brother?" Lin Bai asked.

"Junior brother, you have been practicing in the Jiang family and are loved by Senior Jiang. I wonder what Senior Jiang is thinking?" Jing Si Tui was quite worried. "In this battle, Jiuzhashan and Qiaoshan pressed forward and we can't retreat. But I don't know where the ancestor Xiang is. How should we fight this battle?"

"Brother," Lin Bai also smiled bitterly and said, "I am free and easy here, how can I know these things?"

"Senior Gu, have you received any news?" Jing Situi nodded his head and said, "There are quite a few people in Jiuzha Mountain who disapprove of this matter and are making a big fuss. There is no news of victory in the front, and it is really difficult to maintain. Some people are even clamoring to split up. Moreover, we are short of manpower and supplies. The old people in Zhouhui Mountain and the various Yuanying sects and families are just sitting there and watching, unwilling to step down, and Qiao Mountain is empty... I am very worried."

Lin Bai had never been a master, so he didn't know the hardships of others. But after a brief thought, he realized that two apprentices could cause him a headache, let alone managing the entire sect.

"Don't worry, Brother Jing." Lin Bai could only try to comfort him. "In my opinion, Senior Jiang went north on purpose, so he must have made some preparations. Although Qiaoshan is empty, can the people of Shoutian Pavilion still launch a sneak attack from thousands of miles away? As for the old people of Zhouhuishan and the various Yuanying sects, they are just sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. They will definitely end up in the future. Especially the old people of Zhouhuishan, with Senior Xie's help, how can they just sit back and watch? In fact, the old people of Zhouhuishan and the sects along the way have already provided a lot of supplies now."

Jing Situi nodded slightly but said nothing.

"Speaking of Shoutian Pavilion, Kong Shu is nothing but dead bones in a tomb and will die tomorrow! Xia Yufeng is short-sighted and not worth worrying about. In my opinion, the first victory will definitely be in Black Wind Mountain, and it must be the credit of Senior Yan and Senior Du of your sect!" Lin Bai said passionately.

Just as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in. It was the head of Jiuzha Mountain, Taoist Lihuo.

"Master!" Jing Situi stood up quickly.

"Go back to the mountain to allocate supplies, don't let anything go wrong!" Taoist Lihuo glanced at Lin Bai and ignored him, saying, "The battle ahead has suffered a setback, Du Jueming is seriously injured, I have to go and take a look! Don't let this matter spread!"

After saying this, the man flashed and turned into a flame, heading north.

“……” Jing Situi sighed.

Lin Bai didn't know what to say, he just felt it was extremely difficult. (End of this chapter)
