The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 381 Join forces
There are dense green cypresses in front of the medicine-pounding hall.

Although there had been speculations before, after hearing Yuexiachan's words, everyone still reported it.

The elixir took effect, and the injuries improved. The four men stood up, but they felt like their skin was being hammered and their bones were being gouged. It was obvious that the elixir could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

"Excuse me, senior, how can we escape from here?" Wang Qiuxie asked.

Yue Xia Chan shook his head slightly, turned around and walked into the hall.

The four of them followed, stepping up the stairs one by one and crossing the tall threshold.

As you enter the hall, you will feel a cool feeling.

The Medicine Pounding Hall was empty except for the thick beams, dust and cobwebs, dilapidated and old, and a few wild rabbits were running around without avoiding strangers.

The four of them followed the toad under the moon, passed through the hall, and saw the red-walled courtyard.

There is a short osmanthus tree in the yard, but it has long been dead and no one knows how many years it has been.

There is a bluestone mortar under the tree, about the height of a person and the thickness of three or four people's arms. There is a sticky substance in it, and no one knows what it is.

There were two people sitting under the osmanthus tree facing the medicine mortar. They were Zhou Wuji and the Wood Demon.

Xie Qingxuan put one hand behind his back and held the command flag in the other hand, thinking carefully, he must be planning to set up a battle formation here.

Cheng Fengzi closed his eyes and said nothing, sitting quietly in the corner.

There were faint cicada chirpings on the osmanthus trees and sounds of water coming from the distance.

It seems that the Four Yuanyings each have their own responsibilities, but the Moon Toad is a bit idle.

Lin Bai and others stepped forward to pay their respects. Zhou Wuji had a kind look on his face. He looked at Wang Sun and the others, then nodded to Lin Pei.

"Tell me what you have heard and seen." Zhou Wuji said.

Sun Yuqing knelt down immediately and spoke the truth.

"The Taoist master has always lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with people. Even Master was not allowed to see him. The Taoist master made such arrangements, probably waiting for people who are compatible with him to help him." Zhou Wuji smiled slightly, looked at the four people, and said: "Many people who are far better than you and me have come here, but also gained nothing, or even died. If it succeeds, then be happy, if it fails, don't worry."

"Master, have you tried it too?" Sun Yuqing asked curiously.

"Of course." Zhou Wuji smiled kindly, "Since I'm here, I should see if I have a connection with the Taoist master."

Lin Bai then realized that the Five Yuanyings had already dealt with the Rabbit God before, but they concealed their figures so that the villagers could not see them.

"Master is not good enough?" Sun Yuqing said indignantly on behalf of Zhou Wuji.

"We came from Zhongzhou, and I have already achieved the Nascent Soul stage. It doesn't matter whether we try or not." Zhou Wuji was not as bold as before, and was very gentle to his disciple. "Daoyou Mu will naturally fail, Brother Xie has no chance, and Junior Sister Yue's efforts are in vain."

After hearing this, Sun Yuqing looked at Cheng Fengzi curiously and asked, "What about Senior Cheng Fengzi?"

"I already know I can't get what I want, so why should I try?" Cheng Fengzi suddenly said, and then laughed, "Climbing a tree to catch fish shows my clumsiness, and following a nest to find a rabbit makes you laugh at your ignorance. It is right to not get what you want, and there is no need to do it even if you know the result."

Xie Qingxuan, who was setting up the formation over there, looked over, and Zhou Wuji smiled faintly.

The cicadas on the osmanthus tree stopped chirping. The wood demon, who had kept his eyes closed, opened them, looked at the mortar and said, "It's not easy to catch fish or rabbits. Brother Dao is about to achieve enlightenment, so please cherish him."

"I spoke out of turn. I have been seeking the truth for many years but failed, and I am now covered in injuries, and I am very obsessed. Now I have the hope of making further progress. Please don't blame me if I am a little crazy." Chengfengzi actually admitted his mistake honestly.

Lin Bai didn't know how Cheng Fengzi had offended the wood demon with just one sentence, but based on what he said, it was probably related to "fish".

The wood demon didn't say anything, but just closed his eyes again, and then the cicadas on the dead tree started chirping again.

No one spoke anymore. All the Nascent Souls kept their eyes closed and did not move. Only Xie Qingxuan was diligently setting up the formation.

The feeling of hammering skin and gouging bones continued unabated. Within half an hour, blood began to seep out of Sun Yuqing and Pei Ning's skin.

Another hour later, the two were covered in blood again. Lin Bai and Wang Qiuxie could still hold on, but they were also showing signs of exhaustion.

After waiting for another half an hour, Zhou Wuji took out the pills and distributed them to Sun Pei's two daughters, but did not give any to Lin Bai and Wang Qiuxie.

“When you are in the medicine mortar, enduring the pain of pounding the medicine, you should know that it takes thousands of hammers and chisels to get out of the mountains.” Zhou Wuji reminded.

Lin Bai and Wang Qiukai had nothing to say, so they could only bear it. Not long after, they heard clear laughter.

"Done!" Xie Qingxuan sat next to the mortar, holding a woven net in his hand.

Lin Bai wiped the blood off his face and looked around. He saw nine apricot-yellow flags inside the red wall, placed in various places, forming a faint trap.

"Okay!" Cheng Fengzi laughed, stood up and walked to the medicine mortar, looked inside, and sat down cross-legged again.

He looked around with a heroic look on his face, and said: "People say that those who have left cannot be brought back. Although all the predecessors have fallen here, it is our turn to grind the medicine into elixir to help me regain my youth and achieve enlightenment!"

"How confident are you?" Zhou Wuji asked.

Cheng Fengzi said, "One can give it a try with only three points of success! But today, all the wise men are here, and all of them have extraordinary backgrounds. Except for Fellow Daoist Yue, all of them have the support of the Dao Master, especially with the help of Zhou Mu and the others, the chance of success should be eighty percent!"

At this point, Cheng Fengzi laughed loudly, "Lin Zhuanlun!"

"Here!" Lin Bai was covered in blood and had a terrible headache, but he still stood up and saluted.

"My little friend Zhuanlun has inherited the legacy of Taoist Master Wuxiang and holds a bit of the power of Taoist Master Huaique, so you should also lend a hand!" Chengfengzi looked at Lin Bai.

So everyone has to help you? If I were you, who would I turn to? Lin Bai bowed and said, "I am willing to work hard for you, senior!"

Cheng Fengzi nodded slightly, flicked his sleeves and threw out a pill, which went directly into Lin Bai's mouth.

This elixir is more mysterious than the one Yuexiachan gave me just now. It seems as if vigorous green trees suddenly grow in my body, and I feel like I have been reborn.

In an instant, all the injuries on his body were gone, his mind was clear, and his spiritual power seemed endless, as if his cultivation had increased by 30% out of thin air.

Seeing Lin Bai recover, Cheng Fengzi explained, "Most of those who came before were in the Nascent Soul stage, but they could not advance or retreat. Although the body of the Nascent Soul is strong, it can be worn out day by day, and can only last for ten to eight years at most. The remaining bodies of all those who have fallen have already fallen into the medicine mortar. Today, we will use the power of the formation to pound the medicine again to make a pill!"

He looked at Lin Bai and said, "When the time comes, you will listen to my orders and put the Daoist Master Huai Que's true intention of destruction into this medicine mortar."

Lin Bai understood that this was just like cooking. The meaning of "xiaomo" here is fire, the medicine mortar is the boiler, Xie Qingxuan used the formation to build a stove, Zhou Mu and the other two held the big pot, and Cheng Fengzi was the cook who stir-fried the food.

And I used the meaning of destruction to offset the meaning of consumption, and became a bellows to control the fire.

As for the Moon Toad, it is probably just a hanger-on.

After figuring this out, Lin Bai knew that not much of the destructive intent he had absorbed would be left.

"Do you have anything else to say, fellow Taoists?" Cheng Fengzi looked at Zhou Wuji first.

Zhou Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "Can the human pill really help you heal your old injuries? If you do this, you will enter the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but it will be very difficult to advance further."

"I can't care about that!" Cheng Fengzi said.

"Okay!" Zhou Wuji said without further ado, "The medicine mortar is like a vat, and the vat can hold the sea. I will take the medicine mortar after the task is completed."

Cheng Fengzi nodded and looked at the wood demon again.

"The cicadas are chirping in the dead tree. I will take this dead osmanthus tree." said the wood demon.

Cheng Fengzi also nodded. Xie Qingxuan smiled and said, "I am from a small sect. I am not as good as you. Although I know a little about formations, I live in poverty. I don't know how many Taoist friends came here before. The things they left behind belong to me."

After hearing this, Cheng Fengzi nodded.

"Brother Chengfeng said that there is an 80% chance of success, but there is still a risk of one in a million. By the time the time comes, I will have to waste my time here, and there will be external force from Taoist Master Huaique..." Xie Qingxuan actually wanted to take the reward first.

"Here!" Cheng Fengzi pondered for a moment, then took out a storage ring, threw it over, and looked at the moon toad again.

“My fellow Taoists, each of you has your own strengths. I have contributed the least, so I have no face to ask for help, but my family is in ruins. If Senior Brother Chengfengzi succeeds, please speak a fair word for our Tianshan Sect.” Yuexiachan saluted Chengfengzi.

Cheng Fengzi nodded and finally looked at Lin Bai.

"I don't ask for anything on this trip. As long as I can gain more knowledge, it will be enough!" Lin Bai said immediately.

"Okay!" In just a few words, Cheng Fengzi arranged the funeral. He was very excited. "Let's flatten the bumps and make a smooth road! Get up!"
