The Wheel-Turning Master.

Dream Lake, Huludao.

Xiuxiu held the fox in her arms and sat opposite Gu Qingshui.

Huang Ruhua and Yuan Wuchen knelt beside them.

"He heard that many people died here, and wanted to come earlier. But Jiang Xingchi was afraid that it would be unstable, so he insisted that he advance to the middle stage."

The fox nestled in Xiuxiu's arms, clicking his tongue non-stop, "I see that Jiang Xingchi actually feels that he hasn't harmed enough people yet, and his future position as the head of Zhou Huishan is not stable."

Gu Qingshui didn't say anything.

"According to Jiang Xingchi's arrangement, after this battle, Shoutian Pavilion will collapse, and only one person from Chi Shangxing or Zou Mi will be left, and several thousand disciples will be left."

The fox spoke lazily, "If Lao Xiang can succeed, then everything will be fine. If not, Jiang Xingchi will unite with the remnants of Shoutian Pavilion again. With Lao Chen in the middle, no one will dare to settle accounts with you! Even if the Tianwen Sect comes looking for you in the future, those remnants of Shoutian Pavilion will have already eaten the same pot as you, and may even help you! Jiang Xingchi is really good at calculating, Lao Xiang has found a treasure!"

Gu Qingshui pondered for a while and said, "Kong Shu is not inferior to Senior Brother Xiang, and he holds a secret treasure, so how can he be just an ordinary person? Chen Zhiyuan rarely took action after he formed the Dan, and even sealed his sword after he formed the Yuanying. Last time Li Huo invited you and him to help, he also showed his true ability. Are you really sure that Chen Zhiyuan can win?"

"Old Xiang has great confidence in him." The dozing fox opened his eyes, sat up from Xiuxiu's arms, stroked his body with his tail, as if tidying up his clothes, and said solemnly: "Lin Zhuanlun said that he heard my master's evaluation, saying that Chen Zhiyuan is on a dignified path and has a dignified momentum. He has an unparalleled elegance and grace."

When Gu Qingshui saw the fox brought up the so-called master, he didn't say much.

"I don't think even Lao Xiang can suppress Lao Chen."

Seeing that Gu Qingshui still didn't quite understand Chen Zhiyuan's ability, the fox jumped into Xiuxiu's arms again, raised its head and exposed its belly, looking at Xiuxiu, and said: "Didn't you realize a magical power when you formed the elixir? Let's calculate it!"

"Yes!" Xiuxiu was an honest child. She immediately stretched out her left hand, got a handful of clear water, and then sprinkled it casually. Then she saw the shadow of the deep pool, and then a bright moon appeared.

Xiuxiu pointed with two fingers, and the shadow of the bright moon changed, sometimes crescent, sometimes full, and then disappeared. It was obvious that it did not succeed.

"You are such a loser!" The fox and Xiuxiu are one, so scolding Xiuxiu is like scolding herself, but she still scolded, "Those who practice the way of fate can look down at the world and see yin and yang with just a wave of their hands. They know the beginning and end of all things."

The fox jumped out of Xiuxiu's arms, with its butt facing Xiuxiu and its tail moving, clearly asking Xiuxiu for leverage.

Xiuxiu grabbed the fox's tail and summoned clean water to create a deep pool.

The shadow of the bright moon changed. Xiuxiu reached out her hand into the void and then closed her eyes.

"It involves too many things, I don't quite understand." After a while, Xiuxiu opened her eyes and answered honestly, and then said: "But it has the meaning of endless life, and you can vaguely see that thousands of trees will bloom before the dead tree."

Xiuxiu spread out her palm, and there were tiny sword marks on it.

"It seems like it's done. Alas, where should I get the reward for my great contribution?" The fox seemed to have encountered a problem, and she tilted her head to look at Huang Ruhua.

Huang Ruhua had a look of despair on her face, as if she was not very satisfied with having such a master. With a bitter face, she took out a map and unfolded it, which clearly showed a vast mountain range.

The fox jumped onto the map and kept looking at it, as if he wanted to use it as a fox den.

Gu Qingshui didn't care about these things. She looked at Yuan Wuchen and said, "Go to Songhe Mountain and ask Gu Jiuzhong to hand over the affairs to Zhu Jianyang. Then you stay there, and I will go there soon."

"Yes." Yuan Wuchen took the order, knelt again, and then left.

Stepping on the koi in the lake, Yuan Wuchen walked for a while, and then a colorful pheasant flew over and kept calling her "good sister".

"Where are you going, my dear sister?" Wild Pheasant followed and fanned Yuan Wuchen happily, fearing that she would feel hot.

"I'm going to Songhe Mountain, you stay here and take good care of it." Yuan Wuchen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes." The pheasant responded happily.

After reaching the shore, Yuan Wuchen heard some strange noises. She frowned and walked forward, pushing aside the bushes, and saw two wild dogs doing something shameful!
"How dare you do this in such a peaceful place like the immortals?" Yuan Wuchen was so angry that he didn't even give the two dogs a chance to explain and kicked them away!
Then he turned around, glared at the pheasant, and scolded him: "I asked you to look after this place, and this is how you do it?"

"It's none of my business..." Yezhi felt aggrieved, "Master Xiaotian and his wife..."

"Don't tell me about Master Xiaotian! Can a wild dog be called this? From now on, I'll just call you Barking Wild. And you, don't call me the Five-Colored Fairy anymore. The real fairy is on Hulu Island accompanying the ancestor! Just call me Ji Wumei!"

"..." Yezhi was stunned for a moment, then he felt even more aggrieved and defended himself, "Sister, it's not Brother Gou's fault. It was Senior Zhuanlun's disciple who gave me the pills. Brother Gou had never been willing to eat them. Today, he couldn't resist the fragrance of the pills, so he swallowed two pills. Who knew it was an aphrodisiac! It's all Senior Zhuanlun's disciple's fault!"

"Nonsense!" Yuan Wuchen scolded, with his hands on his hips. "Senior Zhuanlun is like a white lotus on a snowy mountain, pure and holy. Your disciples are even more elegant, humble and righteous. How could you do such a thing?"

"Sister Yuan, you can't just keep saying good things about them as master and disciple just because you were chosen by Senior Zhuanlun, right?" Yezhi felt really aggrieved.

"What? Are you not convinced?" Yuan Wuchen said.

The pheasant glanced at the few missing colorful feathers on its tail, but ultimately did not dare to say anything more.

"From now on, your dog brothers are not allowed to approach the shore. They are only allowed to patrol outside. Also, take good care of your chickens and don't let them cuckoo for no reason!" Yuan Wuchen gave the order.

The pheasant nodded aggrievedly.

Yuan Wuchen felt sorry for Ye Zhi, and she was kind-hearted after all. She took out a bottle of pills and threw it to him, "Do your best."

After saying this, Yuan Wuchen headed west.

Passing Black Wind Mountain, her blood energy faded a lot. She sighed, didn't go down to check, and continued to go to Songhe Mountain.

When we arrived at Songhe Mountain, we noticed that the atmosphere here was different. There was no sense of dejection after a bloody defeat, but instead an inexplicable sense of excitement.

He stopped a patrolling monk and asked him about it, and sure enough, it was Chen Tianren from the Daoyin Sect who had arrived.

"Chen Tianren has come with his many years of fame, he will definitely be able to drive away Shoutian Pavilion! Fairy Chenyu and I have the same opinion!" Yuan Wuchen had a mortal feud with Shoutian Pavilion. She waved her fist and glanced at Wanshou Mountain, then hurried to Gu Jiuchong's tent.

After completing the task, Yuan Wuchen had nothing to do, so he went to find Yuan Qiye.

"We came here the day before yesterday. Now all the seniors are in the main hall of Songhe Mountain discussing matters." Yuan Qiye explained to Yuan Wuchen.

"Chen Tianren will definitely win!" Yuan Wuchen had heard the conversation between Gu Qingshui and Fox, and he also hoped that Chen Tianren could defeat Kong Shu and give the other party a good poke.

Yuan Qiye had seen Kong Shu kill Nascent Souls like killing chickens, and that Chen Tianren did not have the slightest aura of a master, but he probably had some abilities and could defeat many of his peers. However, if he faced Kong Shu head-on, I'm afraid he would not be able to win. If he could besiege him, perhaps it would be possible.

"How are you doing in front of the ancestor?" Yuan Qiye asked.

"Everything is fine." Yuan Wuchen replied with a smile.

Yuan Qiye nodded with satisfaction and said, "If Junior Brother Zhuanlun hadn't pointed you out, you wouldn't have had this opportunity. I'll go and say hello to you later."

"I understand!" Yuan Wuchen responded immediately, "If it weren't for Senior Zhuanlunzi's order, I might still be fighting on the front line with you. Of course, there's nothing wrong with killing enemies on the front line, but being able to walk in front of Grandmaster Gu means more freedom!"

Yuan Qiye frowned upon hearing this and said, "Before we broke through the formation a few days ago, were you always hanging out with Miaomiao? Don't learn bad things from her! She has Lin Zhuanlun's support in everything, but you are different. You need to be less talkative and don't show your emotions!"

Yuan Wuchen shrank his neck and quickly agreed.

The two chatted for a while, and Yuan Wuchen came to Lin Bai's tent and saw Dugu Jing guarding outside, so he asked, "Is Senior Zhuanlun here?" "He's talking to my uncle Mo from Daoyin Sect." Dugu Jing said with a smile.

Yuan Wuchen had heard of Mo Yingcheng's name, but had never seen him, so he just said, "Senior Sister, please give my regards to Senior Zhuanlun for me."

Dugu Jing smiled and nodded.

Yuan Wuchen asked about Miaomiao's whereabouts again, and learned that Miaomiao and Jiang Yu were at Gu Feixue's place, so he went to look for them.

“All sword practitioners in the world respect Chen Tianren as their master.” Miaomiao had recovered from her injuries and was bragging to Gu Feixue and Jiang Yu. When she saw Yuan Wuchen coming, she pulled him over and continued, “When I was practicing in Daoyin Sect, Chen Tianren saw me and was attracted by my talent. But when he found out that I had already become his disciple, he had no choice but to say ‘what a pity’ three times.” She held up three fingers with a serious look on her face.

Jiang Yu covered his forehead with his hands and said nothing.

The four girls talked about the previous battle again. In the middle of the night, Gu Feixue suddenly asked, "How is Pei Ning?"

"I went to see her the day before yesterday. My master's wife has reached the state of perfection and will be going through the alchemy tribulation soon." Miaomiao said.

"She already has excellent aptitude and is an excellent sword practitioner. After becoming Chen Tianren's disciple, her progress has been even faster." Gu Feixue sighed.

Yuan Wuchen had long heard that Senior Zhuanlun had a companion who practiced sword cultivation. The companion had an extremely beautiful appearance and practiced the art of wielding a group of swords, and was an extremely remarkable person.

"Where is Senior Sister Pei living now? I'll go visit her at night." Yuan Wuchen became interested.

Miaomiao showed her the way and took out a sign, telling her that if she couldn't find anyone, she should use the sign to ask Dugu Yan.

Yuan Wuchen found the Daoyin Sect's headquarters, reported his whereabouts, and someone showed him the way.

I walked all the way to Pei Ning's tent, and found a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old guarding it.

"You go in." The girl was holding a piece of cookie in her hand. She didn't look like a spiritual practitioner. After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and bowed hurriedly.

There were actually three people in the account, one of whom was a beautiful and cool female cultivator. She must be the "Master's wife" that Miaomiao mentioned.

The other woman seemed to be a few years older, and also had a good-looking appearance, with a gentle aura, wearing a black dress and a white flower on her head. Yuan Wuchen guessed that this woman should be Mo Yingcheng's Taoist partner, Li Wusheng, whose master had just died.

The third person was an old man with a goatee. It was hard to tell what his level was. He was wearing an ordinary Taoist robe and was very inconspicuous.

"Whose family are you from?" Li Wusheng asked.

"I am Yuan Wuchen from Zhou Huishan. I heard from Miaomiao that Fellow Daoist Pei was here, so I took the liberty to come and pay a visit. Please forgive me." Yuan Wuchen bowed.

"You came from Yubi Mountain, right?" Li Wusheng waved for Yuan Wuchen to sit down and said, "I heard from Miaomiao that you were walking in front of Senior Gu?"

"That's right." Yuan Wuchen answered respectfully.

Li Wusheng nodded and glanced at Pei Ning with a strange look in his eyes.

"Have you promised it to them?" the old man asked with a smile.

"..." Yuan Wuchen was stunned for a moment. She looked at the old man and thought to herself why this man was the same as Miaomiao, going up to him and asking if he had a Taoist partner!

Li Wusheng looked helpless and changed the subject: "Is Senior Gu's injury healed?"

"The ancestor will be here soon." Yuan Wuchen said vaguely.

Li Wusheng nodded, and stopped asking questions. He looked at Pei Ning and said, "Lin Zhuanlun has chosen a place for you to survive the tribulation. It's just waiting for you."

"Where did you pick it to?" the old man asked.

"Lin Zhuanlun said that Junior Sister Pei's real name was a sword tomb. In the previous battle at the foot of Wanshou Mountain, all kinds of magical weapons and flying swords were abandoned. Could this site be a sword tomb? That's why we chose the foot of Wanshou Mountain." Li Wusheng said.

"This kid thinks the same as me." The old man twirled his beard, agreeing very much. He looked at Pei Ning again and said, "The so-called ruins can certainly be called a sword tomb, but it still has some shortcomings."

He smiled broadly and said, "I came to you today to discuss this matter. You should prepare well and overcome the pill tribulation tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Before Pei Ning could say anything, Li Wusheng was stunned and grabbed the old man's sleeve. "Master, aren't you going to fight Senior Kong tomorrow?"

"I just want to borrow the energy of the masters from outside the region to add some color to this sword tomb." said the little old man.

"Master..." Pei Ning was finally moved.

"Previous generations plant trees, and next generations enjoy the shade. You should do the same in the future." The old man patted Pei Ning's shoulder gently with a loving look on his face.

Pei Ning stood up and knelt down.

"You young people, please talk." The old man lifted Pei Ning up, stood up, and walked out leisurely, like an old man casually visiting the mortal world.

Yuan Wuchen was still in shock. She had thought that this ordinary and amiable old man had no background, but she didn't expect that he was the famous Chen Tianren.

Moreover, he will have a big battle with the awe-inspiring Kong Shu tomorrow, but he is not nervous at all. Instead, he comes to worry about his disciple's tribulation, not acting like a high-level cultivator.

Yuan Wuchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and wanted to chase after him to pay his respects, but he couldn't move his feet.

"Is this the celestial being that the fairy talked about who will definitely win?" Yuan Wuchen recalled how terrifying Kong Shu was, and when he compared him with Chen Tianren who had just met, he felt a little unsure.

"Xiao Yuan." Li Wusheng patted Yuan Wuchen's shoulder, "Go call Lin Zhuanlun over. Pei Ning will form a pill tomorrow. Let them have fun tonight!"

“…” Yuan Wuchen didn’t expect Li Wusheng to speak so directly.

Pei Ning held his forehead and sighed, saying, "No need. Just let me sit quietly."

Seeing Pei Ning say this, Li Wusheng gave a few more suggestions, took Yuan Wuchen out, and then grabbed the girl's ear at the door.

"Min Qianqian, watch the door and don't let anyone disturb you!" Li Wusheng poked the girl's forehead hard again.

"Yes! Supreme Master!" the girl answered immediately, but she answered too quickly and spoke without thinking.

Li Wusheng had almost withdrawn his hand, but when he heard that, he twisted it again, "If you keep talking nonsense, Min Hengbo won't be able to save you!"

Min Qianqian cried and begged for mercy, but not a single tear was seen, and she refused to put down the cookie in her hand.

Yuan Wuchen felt that it was outrageous. She had heard that Mo Yingcheng was in charge of all Daoyin Sect affairs. Later, Li Wusheng married into Daoyin Sect and was liked by Chen Tianren, so he let her manage the affairs together with Mo Yingcheng, just like a female manager. Now it seems that it is true!

After parting, Yuan Wuchen went to Gu Jiuzhong to listen to his orders. When the next day dawned, Gu Jiuzhong took Yuan Wuchen to the top of Songhe Mountain, and saw Wu Muqian was reluctantly heading towards Wanshou Mountain.

Not long after, he came back in a hurry, with a red palm print on half of his face, and walked into the Songhe Mountain Hall with a very aggrieved look.

Everyone knows that the battle that will determine the fate of the world is about to begin. (End of this chapter)
