The Wheel-Turning Master.

There are several scattered courtyards in Baozhu Mountain.

The door of the most inconspicuous room was wide open, revealing Lin Bai's true face.

Jiang Yu and Dugu Jing stepped forward and bowed. Even the barking wild animal knelt on the ground with its tail wagging so much that it became a shadow.

There were many letters on the floor of the house, all of which had been stuffed through the cracks in the door, but none of them had been opened.

Jiang Yu knew that his master did not like empty formalities, so after bowing, he raised his head, knelt in front of the door, and looked at his master.

After not seeing him for ten years, Jiang Yu found that his master's appearance had not changed much, and in fact he seemed younger.

There is a slight overflow of breath, which should be another step forward.

I didn't notice anything different from usual, but his eyes were dark and deep. If I stared, it seemed as if there were stars flowing and a long river rushing, reflecting my past and future.

"Mr. Dugu passed away, and I didn't go to pay my respects in person." Lin Bai looked at Dugu Jing and asked, "How is your family doing now?"

Dugu Jing bowed respectfully again and said, "The old master has ordered that anyone who intends to go north can join the Zhouhui Sect. There are seven branches in my Dugu clan, and only two are left in my hometown. The rest have all moved to Liujian Mountain."

Lin Bai nodded and asked about the changes in the past ten years.

Actually, there is no change. Zhou Hui Mountain is now more populous than the rest of the people. The secular migration has been completed, and a baby boom has arrived. The various mountaintops are living in harmony, and there are many advanced foundation builders. It looks like a prosperous era.

Jiang Yu talked for a long time and even mentioned the nonsense that Qu Ruyi had boasted about at the Taoist meeting.

Lin Bai asked the two girls about their cultivation and then went to Meng Lake.

During this ten-year retreat, I forgot about worldly affairs and devoted myself to practice, and I have made considerable progress.

He watched the Nascent Soul battles several times, and with the help of the stone plate, he practiced the Art of Immortality and Creation. He encountered no bottlenecks along the way, and made rapid progress, breaking through two levels in a row. He has now reached the fifth level of Golden Elixir.

However, the gourd was not completely refined, but he found that there was something else in it. This time when Lin Bai came out of retreat, he wanted to ask the master.

When I arrived at the edge of Dream Lake, I saw Yuan Wuchen and Gu Wushang talking in low voices. It seemed that Gu Wushang was sharing the interesting stories of Qu Ruyi's Taoist meeting.

Seeing Yuan Wuchen’s happy expression, Lin Bai knew that these two had been hooking up for a long time!

"How shameless! Gu Wushang, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, even dares to pry people around the ancestor. He is really bold!" However, when Lin Bai remembered that he even dared to set his sights on the ancestor, he felt that this was not a big deal.

"Senior." Seeing Lin Bai coming, Yuan Wuchen and Gu Wushang hurriedly saluted.

Lin Bai smiled and nodded, without saying anything more, he stepped on the water and headed towards Huludao.

When we climbed up Huludao and arrived at Xiapiao, we saw a simple house.

When I entered, I saw a man sitting cross-legged. He was wearing light green clothes and had a thin body.

"You've come out?" Gu Qingshui opened his eyes, looked at Lin Bai, and nodded slightly.

"Xiao Shui!" Lin Bai immediately moved forward and grabbed Gu Qingshui's left hand.

Gu Qingshui really didn't treat Lin Bai as an outsider, but he couldn't stand such intimacy. Just as he was about to pull his hand back, he saw Lin Bai sighing repeatedly.

"Xiao Shui," Lin Bai held Gu Qingshui's hands tightly with both hands, feeling that they were soft and boneless, slightly cool, and had a faint fragrance. Then he said, "I have been in seclusion for a long time, and the progress is not bad. I wanted to continue my seclusion, but I couldn't calm down. As soon as I closed my eyes..."

Lin Bai looked into Gu Qingshui's eyes and said seriously, "It's your figure."

"This is a demonic obstacle in your mind." After hearing this, Gu Qingshui did not withdraw his hand, but instead said, "It is good to retreat and practice in silence, but if you don't see the vitality for a long time, it will do more harm than good. Therefore, practice should be relaxed and appropriate. It's okay for you to encounter a demonic obstacle now. Go meet old friends and relatives, sort out mundane matters, and you will feel better."

"Xiao Shui, what you said couldn't be more right." Lin Bai immediately agreed, and then said: "Now that I see you, I feel that everything is fine. I miss you so much, do you miss me?"

Gu Qingshui smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and then said: "In this case, let go of my hand."

Lin Bai obediently let go of his hand, moved his body, and rubbed Gu Qingshui's back and shoulders. In order to prevent rejection, he quickly asked: "Xiao Shui, what is the origin of the Taoist Master Wuxiang?"

Gu Qingshui saw that Lin Bai was asking seriously, and asked doubtfully: "You have also inherited a part of the Wuxiang Dao Master's legacy, but did you feel anything when you advanced?"

"Xiao Shui, we really have a telepathic connection!" Lin Bai rubbed his shoulders attentively, three times more attentively than Miao Miao, and said, "When I was refining the gourd, I found that there was something else inside it. Every time I wanted to explore it, I felt vague, as if someone had left some kind of arrangement in it."

"The gourd was obtained from Taoist Wuxiang. I believe it was left by Taoist Wuxiang to future generations." Gu Qingshui said.

"That's right." Lin Bai looked at Gu Qingshui's fair neck. Although he was a little upset, he looked serious. He only asked, "The East Sea was once the Taoist temple of Wuxiang Daoist Master. Why aren't many stories about it spread?"

"I don't know either." Gu Qingshui shook his head slightly, and after a while he said, "I only know that the Taoist Master Wuxiang was killed by someone from outside the region. Since then, the East Sea region has become increasingly desolate, and few outside experts have come here."

At this point, she added, "It is said that before becoming a Taoist master, Wuxiang was a casual cultivator, and the place where he practiced in seclusion is now the Qianhe Sandy Land. It was a blessed land at that time, but later it was suppressed by someone, and it became a barren sandy land."

"So that's how it is." Lin Bai listened casually, but his hands did not stop. He felt that Aunt Gu's shoulders were thin and frail, and through the light green gauze, they were slowly getting warm, which really made people feel distracted.

"Maybe we can go find Li Chenyu and ask. Zou Mi also knows something. Jiang Xingchi asked her before." Gu Qingshui let Lin Bai mess around behind him. "And Ancestor Xiang, he has been to the deepest abyss of the Thousand Valleys Sand Land many times, he should know a lot of secrets and old stories."

"I dare not disturb the ancestor who is meditating." Lin Bai told the truth.

"Then you dare to touch me?" Gu Qingshui suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Bai. Lin Bai then realized that his hand had already moved to Aunt Gu's slender waist.

"Lin Zhuanlun?" Seeing that Lin Bai didn't answer, Gu Qingshui asked again.

"Ancestor, I really can't help myself." Lin Bai blurted out.

When Gu Qingshui heard the address of "Ancestor", her face turned slightly red and she looked a little angry. She was about to speak, but stopped after looking outside.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, Gu Yao was seen running to the door, and Yuan Wuchen hurriedly chased after her, seemingly unable to stop her.

"Ancestor." Gu Yao saluted. Seeing that Lin Bai's clothes were neat and tidy and his breath was relaxed, she smiled and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, why didn't you come to see me after you came out of seclusion? I gave Dugu Jing that girl a lot of advice!"

We were once close friends, but now we have such deep suspicion of each other.

"I was just about to thank you." Lin Bai knew that he could not do anything, so he stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you, ancestor, for answering my questions. I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Lin Bai smiled at Gu Yao again and left.

Gu Qingshui looked calm, not even looking at Lin Bai's departing figure. He only glanced at Gu Yao and said, "Cultivation is based on realm. Lin Zhuanlun has been in seclusion for ten years and has broken through two levels. I heard from Gu Jiuzhong that Jing Shitui is about to enter the ninth level of the Golden Core. You should also practice diligently."

"Yes." Gu Yao immediately leaned forward and responded.

"Go ahead, you should also stay in seclusion for ten years." Gu Qingshui said.

"Yes...eh?" Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, "What about the family affairs?"

Gu Qingshui also knew Gu Jiuzhong's character, and said, "Wushang has a steady temperament and is a man who does things properly, so let him take care of it."

"Yes..." Gu Yao could only bow again and then retreat obediently.

Lin Bai went to Qinfang Pool again, but did not visit Zou Mi first, but came to Hengwu Mountain.

This place was the place where the old people of Shoutian Pavilion practiced, but it looked completely different from ten years ago. The monks came and went without any sadness or anger, but instead a sense of vitality, and there were also many disciples from other families coming and going.

"Master!" Miaomiao ran out from the main hall, threw herself in front of Lin Bai with red eyes, looking like a kind master and a filial disciple.

Several other people came out of the hall and also saluted.

"That's enough." Lin Bai patted Miaomiao's head. He was very happy to see that this girl had made further progress in her cultivation.

Miaomiao wiped her tears and invited Lin Bai into the hall.

When Lin Bai asked about what happened here, Miaomiao started talking and boasting about it.

Zou Mi didn't like managing affairs, so when he saw Miaomiao was smart, he let her manage Hengwu Mountain.

These Hengwu Mountain monks are the old people of Shoutian Pavilion. They respect the strong and have the greatest respect for Chen Tianren, but they are not very convinced of Miaomiao.

Because of this, the monks of Hengwu Mountain all thought that the reason why Patriarch Zou valued Miaomiao so much was because Miaomiao's mentor used the magical wheel-turning method and influenced her.

Miaomiao could naturally see that the cultivators from Hengwu Mountain were not convinced, but she did not take it seriously. She first followed the other foundation-building cultivators in cursing Wumuqian, and then won over a few people who were more approachable.

Then Miaomiao took great pains to find her own Zhu Jianyang to preach and teach. She also used her master's relationship to invite Gu Jiuchong, Yang Shaoan, Jiang Xiaobai, and Yang Huan to preach. She even invited the person with the fairy's life contract and Chen Tianren's top disciple to preach.

Most of the people in Hengwu Mountain are small-time Qi practitioners, and few have built foundations. They were originally orphans in the outside world, but now not only is Jindan preaching, but the other mountains are not too averse. Naturally, they understand Miaomiao's painstaking efforts, and have been devoted to her ever since.

Miaomiao took a series of actions, setting up her background and winning people's hearts. After winning over many people, she did not monopolize the power, but instead found five foundation-building people to discuss matters together.

Among the five foundation-building masters, two of them were particularly dissatisfied with Miaomiao, but they were all impressed by Miaomiao's selfless character and became her loyal supporters, especially Xia Mingchan, the descendant of the Xia family.

Later, Miaomiao also held several internal competitions, inviting people from various mountains to compete in magic, which really made Hengwu very lively. Even the headmaster's first disciple Jing Shitui came to support and helped invite many people.

From then on, all matters big or small in Hengwu Mountain had to go through Miaomiao's hands, and her power was even greater than that of her ancestor Zhu Jianyang.

If someone wanted to find Zou Mi, they had to find Miaomiao first. Even if Jing Si retired as the acting head and came to find Zou Patriarch, he had to wait for Miaomiao's nod.

Everyone knew that Miaomiao was a close confidant of Zou Laozu. Of course, some shameless people also ridiculed her and said that Miaomiao took advantage of her mentor and that it was her mentor who served Zou Laozu well, which made Zou Laozu love Miaomiao and his family.

Anyway, no matter what, Miaomiao has become a big shot and is famous in Zhouhui Mountain.

"No one dares to trouble me when it comes to enforcing the law. From a small gatekeeper to the head of Hengwu Mountain, and then to the second-in-command of Qinfangchi blessed land, I have accomplished everything I have done. If I don't want to do something, no one else can do it. Is there anyone below who opposes me? Yes, but very few, unless they don't want to work in Qinfangchi." Miaomiao made a final summary, holding the teacup in her hand.

"The current situation in the East China Sea is that the one with the highest cultivation level has unquestionable authority." Lin Bai poked Miaomiao's forehead hard, "Cultivation is the foundation, and forming a pill as soon as possible is the foundation! Give up your position as the second-in-command, and you can only practice with Patriarch Zou in the future!"

Miaomiao covered her forehead with her hands and responded aggrievedly.

"I'll go see Master Zou first, and then come back to test you on your cultivation!" Lin Bai stood up and was about to leave, but Miaomiao grabbed his sleeve.

"Master," Miaomiao said with reason, "Grandmaster Zou has ordered that if anyone wants to see me, but is below the Nascent Soul stage, I must first ask them the reason, and then I will bring them to the audience. This is what the Grandmaster has repeatedly ordered, and it cannot be violated."

"..." Lin Bai was really speechless. (End of this chapter)
