The Wheel-Turning Master.

Cheng Fengzi's laughter seemed to be right beside my ears, yet also seemed to be in the sky.

When I stepped on solid ground, I felt a little dizzy and found myself at the foot of the mountain.

The surroundings were shaded by green trees and gurgling streams. Looking up into the distance, it seemed as if there was a corner of a palace in the deep mountains.

Wang Qiuxie and Lin Bai stopped, and soon Pei Ning and Sun Yuqing followed.

"Master is just ahead." Wang Qiuxie was very calm.

Lin Bai's colorless jade cicada also sensed that the wood demon was not far away.

There was no road in the mountains, and the four men were not in a hurry to move forward, so they discussed with each other again.

This place is not like Niujia Village, the spiritual energy is quite rich. But there is a faint sense of heaviness, raising your hands and taking steps is a little heavier than outside.

Lin Bai immediately thought of the Endless River Secret Realm. It was like this at that time, and there was also the raging sword intent.

"It should be some kind of formation or some kind of rule." Sun Yuqing had seen a lot of things. She carefully felt it for a while and said, "It becomes more difficult when it is imposed on me. I have seen this kind of situation many times. It occurs in the trials of many sects. It is to nourish one's own Qi, sharpen one's inner and outer qualities, and strengthen one's heart in seeking the Tao."

"I haven't asked my senior sister about her sect yet." Lin Bai said.

"Xuanqing Sect." Sun Yuqing did not hide anything and revealed his true identity with a smile.

Hearing this name, Lin Pei and the others were both lost in memories. Back then, they had a hard time surviving in their hometown, and it was because they had obtained the Ruyi Jingxin Jue that they were able to break the siege of Song Qing and Zhang Han.

The Ruyi Jingxin Jue was passed down by the Xuanqing School. Because of its effect of calming the mind, if one does not have a Taoist method that suits one's nature, one can practice this method.

Therefore, many independent practitioners who have no inheritance practice the Ruyi Jingxin Jue to enter the Tao. There are countless people in the world who practice this method.

Because of the Xuanqing Sect's efforts to help people achieve enlightenment, the lower-level cultivators have also heard of its reputation.

Back then, when discussing Taoism with Li Xinghe in the Wordless Secret Realm, Lin Bai had asked the other party what method he was practicing, and it turned out that the other party was also practicing the Ruyi Meditation Technique.

Of course, this is just the entry-level method. Li Xinghe must have changed his method later, just like me.

The Xuanqing Sect is a giant in this world, with countless highly skilled cultivators within the sect. It is also a major sect in Zhongzhou.

In the past I always felt that they were far away and ethereal, but I never thought that Sun and Wang were actually from the Xuanqing Sect.

From this point of view, his teacher Zhou Wuji and even the ancestor Juexin are also from the Xuanqing School.

"If I come to Zhongzhou in the future, I will bother you, brothers and sisters." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Sun Yuqing patted his chest, very open-minded.

After a few polite words, the four of them walked forward. As usual, Wang Qiuxie was in the front, followed by Lin Bai, then Pei Ning, and Sun Yuqing was the last.

"Something is wrong." Wang Qiujie stopped and flew up immediately, but he was only about five or six feet high. He circled slightly and then landed.

"Is there danger in the sky?" Sun Yuqing ignored the arranged formation and rushed over with a jade pendant in his hand. He said, "Master was in front of me, so I didn't notice anything wrong."

"You will know if you try it." Wang Qiu smiled.

Sun Yuqing frowned slightly, flew up, and then landed.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning naturally tried it as well.

After trying it, I found that the higher I flew, the harder it became. It wasn't because my body felt heavy, but it felt like something was suppressing it.

Back then in the Endless River Secret Realm, it was also difficult to fly, and one could only climb. But at that time, the body was heavy, and the sword intent was overbearing, but it was different here, as if there was a hammer hammering down again and again.

"This is completely different from the trials of the sects in my hometown." Wang Qiuxie is worthy of being a senior brother, with a thoughtful look on his face, "The secret trial realm is to climb up a mountain with a weight of ten thousand pounds, and every step is difficult, which is to imitate the difficulty of seeking the Tao. But there is another difference here, perhaps..."

Wang Qiuxie didn't say much, but his expression became increasingly heavy.

"Tupujiao said that those who left never came back. Maybe it's not because they didn't want to go back, nor because they left the small world, but because they died here." Sun Yuqing was cheerful but not stupid. He immediately understood what Wang Qiuxie was worried about.

"Since you have come here to seek the truth, you should leave your life and death to fate. But your master and others are ahead, so you should go over and take a look first." Lin Bai said to comfort him.

The four of them couldn't come up with anything to discuss, so they just followed the old formation and moved forward step by step.

But the further up the mountain we went, the harder it became. It wasn't because we had to bear more weight, but it felt like a hammer hitting us again and again.

The hammer followed a certain rhythm, sometimes slow and sometimes fast. It didn't hurt much when it hit the body, but it made the body feel heavier, as if the flesh and bones were about to be separated, and even the body and soul were about to be torn apart.

For a moment, the four people's sea of ​​consciousness was restless and their headaches became worse. It seemed as if thousands of ants and insects were gnawing at their flesh, blood, tendons and bones, and even their golden elixirs seemed unstable.

Lin Bai felt that this place was more dangerous than the Endless River Secret Realm, but with the power of Hunyuan Tempering Body, he could withstand it. Wang Qiuxie seemed to have cultivated some profound skills as well, and there was nothing unusual about him.

Sun Yuqing's face turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped down her forehead. She was indeed a person favored by her teacher. Seeing that she could no longer resist, she took out a jade talisman and held it in her palm, but within a few breaths, the jade talisman shattered.

Then Sun Yuqing took out several more things, but to no avail.

"This..." Sun Yuqing frowned, but saw that Pei Ning was not much better than himself. However, Lin Zhuanlun had stopped, holding Pei Ning's arm, and was talking in a low voice.

"Senior Brother!" Sun Yuqing couldn't help but shouted.

Wang Qiuxie turned around and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, go down the mountain."

Sun Yuqing curled his lips and said nothing.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were walking side by side. When he turned around and saw Sun Yuqing hesitating, he felt that she and Qu Ruyi were indeed the same, as they had both been favored since childhood. They were really of the same character!
"The road ahead is difficult. If we retreat, we will die. If we advance, we will die too. Why not fight to the death and move forward?" Pei Ning said.

"I didn't say I wouldn't move forward!" Sun Yuqing said stubbornly, and really took a step forward.

The three of them simply teamed up. As there were no roads and it was difficult to travel in the mountains, Lin Bai could still hold on, so he gave a helping hand from time to time.

After walking for two quarters of an hour, blood began to seep out of the hands and faces of Sun Yuqing and Pei Ning.

Lin Bai also felt increasingly uncomfortable, as if his flesh, blood, and bones were about to separate, and even his golden elixir was about to shatter and escape.

And the headache became more and more severe. It was not like the pricking of needles in the Endless River Secret Realm, but like a hammer hitting hard.

"Lin Zhuanlun, my senior brother has tempered his body for many years and is as harmonious as ever. You are not bad either." Sun Yuqing stopped and pulled Lin Bai and Pei Ning.

Lin Bai was too lazy to pay attention, and Pei Ning said nothing.

"My mind is getting more and more confused." Sun Yuqing was very kind. He took out two pill bottles and said, "If you keep going, your flesh and blood might fester, or even your golden pill will be destroyed. This is the magic pill from my master. Remember to take it in time. It can save your life for a while."

Seeing that Lin Pei didn't take it, she glanced at the chain on Lin Bai's wrist and said, "We can only reach the top with the support of each other. Lin Zhuanlun, you have the protection of your elders' rare treasures, but Pei Ning doesn't."

Lin Bai and Pei Ning accepted it, said nothing, and continued forward.

After walking for another half an hour, we finally saw the hall in front of us.

Wang Qiuxie bent over, staggered to the front of the hall and knelt down.

Sun Pei and the other man were unrecognizable, their faces were covered in blood, and they were only holding on with a breath of strength.

Lin Bai was also feeling uncomfortable. He held the arms of both men and hesitated for a long time before he came behind Wang Qiuxie.

Enduring the headache, Lin Bai looked at the plaque on the door of the main hall, and saw the three characters "Douyao Hall" inscribed on it.

"It's not easy for you to get here." Yuexiachan walked out of the hall, looked at Wang Qiukai, and said, "Your master said that when the road is difficult, you should walk alone, but you shouldn't abandon your companions casually."

After Yuexiachan finished speaking, he looked at Sun Yuqing and said, "Daoyou Zhou said that after this matter is over, you should retreat and practice meditation to improve your character."

Wang Qiuxie and Sun Yuqing knelt on the ground and dared not say a word.

"Ancestor!" Lin Bai wiped the blood off his face, as if he had seen his biological mother.

Yue Xia Chan smiled slightly, seeming to be very satisfied with Lin Bai, and nodded and said: "I borrowed the magic pill from Brother Zhou Daoist to temporarily relieve the injury."

She took out the pill, tapped it gently, and the four of them took one pill each.

As the pill entered his stomach, he felt a surge of vitality, nourishing himself from the inside out. His injuries improved immediately, the wounds on his skin quickly disappeared, his internal organs and bones healed immediately, his golden pill stabilized, his sea of ​​consciousness calmed down, and he felt like he was reborn.

"Ancestor, has Senior Chengfengzi succeeded?" Lin Bai was the least injured. He held Pei Ning's hand with one hand and asked curiously.

"It's not yet complete, but thank you for your success." Yuexiachan said with a smile.

"Ancestor, where is this place? Why does it seem like it has been tempered a thousand times?" Lin Bai asked again.

"There is a rabbit in the moon, crystal clear and flawless, it is the Jade Rabbit. The Jade Rabbit kneels on the ground holding a pestle and mortar to pound medicine, which becomes a toad pill. Taking it can bring immortality."

Yuexiachan pointed down the mountain and said, "Look at the shape of this mountain. We are in the medicine mortar, and we will naturally be worn away by the jade pestle."

"What about the medicine?" Sun Yuqing touched his head. As soon as he asked, he suddenly realized something and shook his head again and again, saying, "Senior Yue, have we become medicine?"

Yuexiachan nodded slightly and said, "At least the Taoist friend who came before us has become medicine." (End of this chapter)
