The Wheel-Turning Master.

Five hundred miles away from Zhouhui Mountain, someone was seen coming towards us from afar.

The man who came had black hair and beard, and was wearing a black and white chess-patterned Taoist robe. He had a warm smile on his face. It was Jiang Xingchi.

There were two other people standing beside Jiang Xingchi, they were Jing Situi and Jiang Xiaobai.

After not seeing him for many years, Jiang Xingchi seemed to have made great progress. He looked full of energy and had the air of a highly-skilled cultivator.

It was heard a long time ago that Jing Shitui was going to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but he had not yet responded to the calamity. However, judging from his aura, he should be not far away.

Jiang Xiaobai's breath was a little unstable, probably because he had just broken through a small realm. At this moment, he frowned and stopped smiling, looking serious and unfamiliar.

Jing Situi and Jiang Xiaobai saluted, and Xiuxiu, holding the fox, also saluted.

"I saw a rosy glow coming from the north from afar. It means my old friend has returned and a noble person has come. It is indeed so." Jiang Xingchi smiled, without any trace of his deep scheming look. He looked at Lin Bai and said with a smile, "I knew you had lofty ambitions back then. I never thought that you would go north and achieve Nascent Soul."

"I have come a long way, but it was just luck. Now I have to return to my hometown, and I want to ask my senior brother for advice." Lin Bai smiled, "Master, how are you doing?"

"How can a few troublesome things compare to the hard work of my brother going north." Jiang Xingchi smiled, looked at Li Chou, bowed slightly, looked at Lin Bai, and asked: "Brother Zhuanlun, who is this fellow?"

Seeing this beautiful female Yuanying walking with Lin Zhuanlun, Jing Situi and Jiang Xiaobai had some fantasies in their minds, but they were not curious at all and were very serious. However, the former was very well-educated, while the latter was used to pretending.

"This is a friend I met in the Northern Wilderness. He is from the Holy Land of Zhongzhou. He is a disciple of Senior Xiangli, the former successor of the Taoist Master Wuxiang. His surname is Jie, and people call him Senior Sister Lichou." Lin Bai told all of Lichou's background in one go.

"So you are the descendant of an expert." Jiang Xingchi was surprised, and quickly bowed again, saying, "I will return to the mountain next week, Jiang Xingchi. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

"I dare not." Li Chou returned the greeting, still smiling, and just glanced at Lin Bai.

"Has Lao Xiang come out yet?" the fox asked lazily.

"Still in meditation." Jiang Xingchi said.

"Let's go quickly. You miss your apprentice so much." The fox closed his eyes again and snuggled into Xiuxiu's arms.

"Please." Jiang Xingchi was very polite, and then said: "Si Tui, please go and invite Senior Sister Gu and Senior Brother Yang to the main hall to discuss matters."

All the way to Yunyao Mountain, Lin Bai looked at the misty Wanshou Mountain from afar, and asked Jiang Xiaobai to take Xiuxiu and Huo Changyan away before entering the main hall.

There were three hosts and one guest. Jiang Xingchi did not ask about the affairs of the Northern Wilderness, but only chatted with Li Chou and asked about the scenery of Central China.

Li Chou did not hide his sorrow, and said, "Zhongzhou is vast, with the Xuanqing Sect being the most respected, and the others being subordinate. There are eleven Huashen Sects, and more than thirty Yuanying Sects. Zhongzhou has many mountains, forests, plains, rivers, and many outstanding people."

"It really makes people yearn for it." Jiang Xingchi looked yearning and asked, "Where is your master practicing now?"

"My master has been in seclusion in Coneheart Valley and has not seen outsiders for many years." Li Chou said.

"I don't know when I will have the chance to visit the holy land of Zhongzhou and listen to Senior Xiangli's teachings in person." Jiang Xingchi sighed, "My East Sea region is a barren land and has not produced a high-level cultivator for many years. It was only recently that my ancestor Zhou Huishan succeeded in ascending to heaven, which made the East Sea region more prosperous."

"Junior brother, you are joking. I think the East China Sea is a land of outstanding people and talents." Li Chou smiled, "Let alone Chen Tianren, even Junior Brother Zhuanlun is extraordinary."

After chatting for a while, they heard laughter coming from outside the hall, and Yang Yangxin and Gu Qingshui walked in side by side.

After not seeing each other for many years, Gu Qingshui looked the same as yesterday, wearing a light green robe, with a slightly rosy complexion on her cold face, as if she was happy.

Jiang Xingchi hurriedly introduced them again, and Lichou nodded slightly, neither enthusiastic nor refusing.

It was difficult to talk business with outsiders around. Gu Qingshui was a quiet person, Fox was lazy as if he hadn't woken up yet, and Lin Bai was never talkative. Instead, Jiang Xingchi and Yang Yangxin accompanied Li Chou in talking about the scenery of the East China Sea.

After talking for a while, the fox became impatient and said, "I'm going to go back and rest. You guys continue chatting first."

She turned her head to look at Li Chou and said, "Sister, do you want to go to my paradise and sit for a while?"

"That's what I wanted." Li Chou said with a smile.

After the fox took away Lichou, Jiang Xingchi took out a chessboard.

There was light on the chessboard, covering the four people in the hall.

"Why did this master come here?" Without outsiders around, Jiang Xingchi smiled hypocritically. He looked at Lin Bai curiously.

Yang Yangxin and Gu Qingshui also looked at Lin Bai, the former with a strange look and the latter as if he was interrogating her.

Lin Baiqing knew that he had a bad reputation and had been misunderstood, so he explained, "It was really an accidental encounter. The fairy and I met a fellow from outside the region, and after some introductions, we met Zhou Wuji, a senior disciple of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Juexin Patriarch. Later, the two of us went to the Tianwen Sect's ancestral hall in person, and after leaving, we went to look for Zhou Wuji, who introduced us to each other."

Jiang Xingchi looked quite disappointed, Yang Yangxin stroked his beard and smiled, and Gu Qingshui nodded in approval.

"How is the Tianwen Sect?" Jiang Xingchi asked.

"The Tianwen Sect was destroyed and surrendered to the Wanxian League. Ancestor Huo Wenfei fled and his whereabouts are unknown." Lin Bai was very frank. "As for why Ancestor Juexin took over the Tianwen Sect, I really can't find out. As for Zhou Wuji and Senior Sister Lichou, we don't know the details."

Jiang Xingchi nodded and remained silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

"Have you seen my son Shaoan?" Yang Yangxin asked his own son.

"I asked someone and there's no news about Yang Shaoan and Shi Qingshuang." Lin Bai said.

"Where's Brother Du?" Jiang Xingchi asked. "He doesn't want to come back." Lin Bai smiled.

Jiang Xingchi and the other two all laughed.

"Where is my unworthy disciple?" Jiang Xingchi asked again.

"Now Wu Muqian has climbed up the ladder and is the head of general affairs in a Yuanying sect." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"He's getting more and more promising." Jiang Xingchi shook his head with a helpless expression.

"Did your trip go smoothly? You activated the Green Water Ring I gave you, and how did you get through the difficulties?" Gu Qingshui asked.

Lin Bai was deeply touched. This time when he came back, Jiang Xingchi and Yang Yangxin asked him a lot of questions, but no one worried about his safety. Aunt Gu was still the closest to him!

"Although it was dangerous, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise." Lin Bai touched his wrist and said affectionately, "If it weren't for my senior sister's treasure, I'm afraid I would have died outside the domain."

Jiang Xingchi coughed and said, "Tell me about your experience in detail. There are not many Yuanying in Zhou Huishan now, so we have to rely on our cooperation."

Lin Bai knew that he couldn't escape this, so he only talked about the important things, such as the treasure hunt with the Moon Toad, the Wood Demon, and Xie Qingxuan.

There was also the matter of being trapped in the cave of the Qianye Patriarch, and the matter of revenge against the Qiu Shui Sword Sect.

After that, there was nothing much, except a trip to Tianwen Sect, where he chatted with Zhou Wuji and others.

As for the meeting with the ancestor Huo Wenfei and the experience with Yuexiachan, Lin Bai did not tell them the whole story.

After two days of questions and answers, the story of going north was finally finished.

"In my opinion, Ancestor Juexin has no intentions towards our East Sea Region." Lin Bai expressed his thoughts, "There are so many high-level cultivators in the five regions. Can we kill them all? Even if he wants to suppress the high-level cultivators in the late stage, it is far from our reach."

"No matter what, at least we are sure that the Tianwen Sect will not come to seek revenge. As for other things..." Jiang Xingchi nodded slightly and said, "The ancestor is in seclusion. Let's wait until he comes out before making a decision."

There is another person on Zhouhui Mountain, and that person is Xiang Wuhui. He is the one who makes decisions on everything, and the Yuanying can only be a counselor at most.

Seeing that there was nothing more to talk about, Jiang Xingchi put away the chessboard and said with a smile: "When you formed your Nascent Soul, the daughter of the Zhu family had a feeling and came to me to tell me about it. I have chosen another blessed place for you. It is in the east of Hengwu Mountain and the south of Menghu Lake. There is a blessed place called Zizhu Forest, which is just right for you to practice in seclusion. I asked your two disciples to pack up, you can rest for the time being, and we will hold a Taoist meeting in a few days to celebrate the birth of another Nascent Soul in my Zhou Huishan Mountain."

Jiang Xingchi is a capable person. The place he pointed to is relatively close to Zou Mi and Aunt Gu, which is a good place.

Lin Bai was naturally satisfied and thanked him again and again.

Seeing that there was nothing more to do, Yang Yangxin said goodbye.

Gu Qingshui also stood up, "I'm afraid that many friends have visited you these days. Come to my Dream Lake and sit for a while when you are free."

She smiled and left with Yang Yangxin.

After the two of them left, Jiang Xingchi asked again, "Why didn't Senior Brother Xie Qingxuan come back?"

"He said that for cultivators like us, everywhere is our hometown and we have no intention of returning to Zhouhui Mountain." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Jiang Xingchi nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Bai left the hall and saw two figures rushing forward, one hugging the other's legs, and shouting, "Master!"

There was also a young foundation-building cultivator who followed, mumbling something but it was unclear.

Lin Bai lifted up three people with disdain. They were Miaomiao, Jiang Yu and Min Qianqian.

I remember the first time I met Min Qianqian, this girl was innocent and cute, simple and pure. Pei Ning accepted her as his apprentice partly because of his friendship with Min Hengbo and partly because he liked her talent.

But now that I've become familiar with Miaomiao, it's like I've fallen into a big dye vat.

"Master!" Miaomiao hugged Lin Bai's arm and laughed.

Jiang Yu is from the Jiang family after all, and is a modest gentleman.

Seeing that both of his disciples had formed the Dan, which was considered promising, and they were both very filial, Lin Bai was the kind of person who was hard on the outside but soft on the inside. When he thought of the two children's appearance when they were young, he couldn't help but feel that the two disciples were even more amiable and lovely.

"Let's go back first." Lin Bai still acted like a strict teacher.

When they arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest Blessed Land, Miaomiao asked, "Master, why didn't Master's Wife come back?"

"She is in seclusion." Lin Bai said.

After walking for a while, we saw a courtyard made of bamboo with a bamboo house in it.

"I know that Master likes simplicity, so I built this courtyard." Miaomiao boasted with her hands on her hips.

As long as there is a place to practice, Lin Bai is not picky about this, but the couplet on the fence gate of the yard is not quite right.

"The immortal mansion of immortals, the Taoist mansion of a man who lives as long as the heaven?"

Lin Bai rubbed his brows and felt that he still had to teach his apprentice well, otherwise he would definitely cause trouble in the future. (End of this chapter)
