The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 35: The Thirty-fifth Disguise
A light is like a bean.

The two didn't speak. Lin Bai just stared at Mu Zhen, and Mu Zhen was also looking at him.

After a long while, Mu Zhen sighed and said, "I swear by the Great Dao that if I ever reveal it, I will have no desire to live and no place to be buried after death."

Lin Bai waited for a long time before nodding slowly.

Being controlled by others, one cannot ask for too much.

"You just have a lot of tricks."

Mu Zhen smiled, very gently, "Actually, you think too much. I don't even know what your secret is."

"Is it true that only those who have a destiny can enter the Tao? What exactly is my destiny?" Lin Bai took the opportunity to ask.

"That's right." Mu Zhen nodded slightly, and then continued: "As for what your destiny is, I don't know either. The universe is so vast, and the destiny encompasses everything. Who can know everything?"

She only knew the mist, not the stone plate, Lin Bai came to the conclusion.

"How long do you want to watch?" Lin Bai asked.

"It'll be tea time." Mu Zhen said.

"it is good."

Lin Bai nodded, closed his eyes and emptied his mind.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the stone plate.

"rise!"

As Lin Bai spoke, fog gathered around him and gave rise to long swords hanging in the air.

With another thought in his mind, the long sword disappeared, and plum blossom stakes appeared one after another.

Then it was quickly smoothed out and restored to its original state.

"She said that the opportunity for the alchemy theory is here. If I don't reveal the true appearance of the stone plate, what if I change it to something else..."

Lin Bai thought about it and felt that it was feasible.

"Give it a try."

Lin Bai silently recalled the Huaxi River. Then the fog around him fell on the stone plate, forming a water line with green grass on both sides.

The waterline slowly widened to become a stream with green grass and undulating hills on both sides.

Lin Bai's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he felt a severe headache, as if he was being pricked by needles.

In the past, the objects condensed in the stone plate were all standardized, such as long swords, wooden stakes, and stone hammers, but this time it was a natural scene generated by the memory in his mind, and it also changed slightly according to Lin Bai's wishes.

"I thought that my current control over the stone plate could not be maintained for too long..."

As Lin Bai thought about it, he suppressed his headache, and a small crack appeared in the surrounding fog.

It starts with the width of a finger, and then slowly becomes the width of a fist.

Soon, a misty purple air came in from the gap.

The purple air was like a piece of silk, circling around here and finally stopping above the river.

"I can't hold on any longer." After only three breaths, Lin Bai spoke quickly.

The purple air remained unmoved, and just went along the stream, then looked carefully for a while, and finally circled and exited along the same path.

Lin Bai also opened his eyes, and the candle seemed to be blown by the wind and trembled continuously.

"hiss……"

Lin Bai felt as if his brain was about to split apart, blood was boiling all over his body, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

"Stop." Mu Zhen flicked his finger lightly and tapped Lin Bai's forehead.

Lin Bai felt a coolness entering his forehead, and then his headache was relieved, and the blood in his body no longer surged.

With a dry mouth, Lin Bai picked up the teapot and gulped down the herbal tea.

Wiping his mouth, Lin Bai stared at Mu Zhen.

"You can't even last three breaths. You're such a good man. What a waste." Mu Zhen said.

"I can't hold on for three breaths, but you've always been there first," Lin Bai retorted.

"You're just being stubborn." Mu Zhen sneered.

"It would be great if I could eat buns every day," said Lin Bai.

Mu Zhen knew she couldn't win the argument, so she stopped talking and just rubbed the area with the fine needle.

Lin Bai knew that she was thinking about something, so he didn't bother her.

After a long time, Lin Bai looked impatient and asked, "What did you see?" "A long river," Mu Zhen replied.

A stream is a stream, but a river? This shows that she did not discover the secret of the stone plate.

Lin Bai looked approving and asked, "What did you see from the long river?"

"The old times, the mountains and forests, entering the Tao, asking about the theory of elixir, the old ancestor's dream, making buns, and you..." Mu Zhen's tone was dull.

"Ancestor..." Lin Bai asked, "Who is the Ancestor? How much stronger is he than you?"

"I have never seen the old ancestor." Mu Zhen shook his head. "I am not even as good as an ant in front of the old ancestor. How can I compare with him?"

Lin Bai remained silent. Her ancestor sounded extremely powerful, but why did he pay attention to me? Was it because of the stone plate?

But at the moment, it seems that her ancestor has no ill intentions.

Moreover, the stream was just an illusion of mist. How could Sister Zhen see so many things?

"The reason why you were able to find me was because of the help of your ancestor?" Lin Bai reacted.

"You're not stupid. Are you scared?" Mu Zhen smiled softly under the candlelight, and then said, "Look at how you've been these days. You've been worried and scheming all day long. I feel sorry for you."

Lin Bai sighed helplessly and asked again: "Is there any progress in the theory of alchemy?"

Mu Zhen nodded.

"What are your insights?" Lin Bai asked.

"What you see may not be different from what I see, but the perception varies from person to person." Mu Zhen's words were confusing.

However, Lin Bai keenly noticed that her mood was very good and she felt relaxed, as if she had solved a problem that had troubled her for many years.

So she also realized the magic from the illusion I created?

Lin Bai found it outrageous and guessed that it might be some kind of influence exerted by the stone plate.

"What is my destiny?" Lin Bai tried again.

"I don't know. Each life force is different and comes from different sources. Some are as small as a silver needle, and some are as big as a mountain. Yours looks very ordinary, but also has something unusual. It should be the resting place of some ancient great man, or a place of remains, or somewhere else. And being able to set foot there is truly magical, and I can't figure it out." Mu Zhen didn't hide anything this time.

Lin Bai pondered for a while and asked, "Are you... leaving?"

"Let's find a place to break through first." Mu Zhen looked towards the west. "It's too far from home. I can't go back for a while."

"How long will it take to break through?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"I don't know, maybe one or two years at the shortest, or seven or eight years at the longest." Mu Zhen had a confident smile on his face. "Okay, don't ask any more questions."

"Then... I'm leaving?" Lin Bai didn't stand up, but just pointed to the night outside.

Mu Zhen tilted her head and smiled, saying, "It's so late now, it will be very troublesome to go home."

Lin Bai: “That’s right.”

In the early morning, the sunlight came through the window and fell on Lin Bai's face.

I opened my eyes and saw Sister Zhen sleeping soundly in my arms.

Lin Bai pulled his hand back, and felt his mind clear. Not only was he not tired at all, but his whole body was warm.

It was like taking a hot bath. My whole body felt relaxed, and my eyesight and hearing seemed to be much better.

Slightly circulate the internal energy in Dantian and feel more energetic.

It had only been a short while since Lin Bai reached the fourth level of Wuji Gong, but he felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough again.

Moreover, the tendons, bones and meridians are connected freely, and the internal force is circulating continuously.

It's like being reborn.

Lin Bai vaguely felt that practicing internal skills in the future would be twice as effective with half the effort.

"last night……"

Lin Bai recalled the absurdity of last night, and was fed something by Mu Zhen in the middle. He thought it was just to liven up the mood, but he didn't expect it to have a magical effect.

"Is it some kind of strange elixir?"

"So, this is the reward for your hard work? I also want to ask about the method of entering the Tao..."

Lin Bai silently looked at the sleeping Mu Zhen, not knowing what to say.

Just as he was about to cover her with the thin blanket, Lin Bai took it back.

I just went through all that trouble again and then finally left.
