The Wheel-Turning Master.

The first time they tasted the fruits of the twigs was at Mianlong Mountain. At that time, the dragon and the tiger worked together, and the two kids were quite happy while practicing Qigong.

Now each of them has achieved success. One is a rising star in the Jiang family, and the other is a rising star in Zhou Huishan. They enjoy revisiting the old place and have a lot of fun.

Jiang Xiaobai was no longer as cunning as before, nor did he try to refuse. He just kept making a fuss about wanting to taste the Nascent Soul.

Maybe because he had been hungry for too long, he was more open-minded than Yang Huan and wanted to try everything.

Although her frame was a little thin, there were many beautiful features under her wide robe. For a moment, Lin Bai felt like he was back home.

"It's a pity that Pei Ning got there first!" After making a fuss for a while, Jiang Xiaobai felt a little unconvinced.

Jiang Xiaobai is very capable now. Her practice is going smoothly. Her ancestor is the head of Zhou Hui Mountain, and she is also good friends with the fox's apprentice Huang Ruhua. She is truly a top figure in Zhou Hui Mountain.

"Is that Jie Lichou really the descendant of the Taoist master?" After Jiang Xiaobai felt comfortable, he started chatting.

"How can this be false?" Lin Bai said.

"I heard from Huo Changyan that you have a wide range of friends in the Northern Wilderness and serve as the guardian elder in the Yueying Sect. What is your relationship with the leader of the Yueying Sect?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"Just a fellow traveler." Lin Bai was very frank.

"We'll find out later when we ask Pei Ning." Jiang Xiaobai didn't believe it. "How is Pei Ning?"

After all, she was still thinking about Pei Ning.

Lin Bai could only explain it to her in detail.

She lingered for a while, and explained in detail the difference between the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul, and pointed out that Lin Bai had not tempered his body recently, so it was lacking some flavor.

After Jiang Xiaobai tasted it, he leaned forward again.

The two were having a great time when someone knocked on the door.

"Master," Miaomiao said in a soft voice, "Grandmaster Zou has urged you several times to go to Qinfang Pool."

This elder sister Zou's Qi-cultivation skills are not good enough, and she can't even sit still. If it were Jiang Xingchi, she would wait until the end of time.

"Master, I understand." Lin Bai said perfunctorily and continued to serve Jiang Xiaobai.

"You become different when Zou Mi's name is mentioned. Are you still thinking about the one from the Gu family?" Jiang Xiaobai was the most perceptive.

Lin Bai hummed twice but did not reply.

After finishing the work, Lin Bai brushed off the dirt, changed into a linen Taoist robe, and inserted a pine wood hairpin, looking like a pure and ascetic monk.

"Master, do you want me to ask Gu Feixue to come over?" After going out, Miaomiao tried her best to flatter him.

Lin Bai glared at her and then went towards Hengwu Mountain.

When they arrived at Qinfang Pond, they saw a pond of withered lotus leaves. Beside the pond was a small pavilion in which a man was sitting cross-legged, while Min Qianqian and Huo Changyan were kneeling beside him.

After not seeing her for many years, Zou Mi's appearance has not changed, but there is a hint of sadness between her brows, which adds to her charm.

"Senior Sister!" Lin Bai walked forward and saluted with a smile.

Zou Mi sighed and said, "I know you have many old friends visiting you since you came back. How come you haven't finished visiting them after several days?"

"I just have too many friends." Lin Bai sat down and explained sincerely, "I just formed my infant not long ago, and there are still a few who want my guidance."

Zou Mi looked at Lin Bai carefully and said, "You have only been in the Infant stage for a short time, but you have made such rapid progress. I didn't believe it when I heard Xiuxiu say it before."

"After all the hardships, I have made some progress at last." Lin Bai was very humble.

Zou Mi saw that Lin Bai was wearing a coarse linen robe, which was elegant and proper. He was indeed less irritable and more calm and peaceful than when he was in the golden elixir stage.

"This is a letter from Senior Sister Yue." Lin Bai took out the letter from Yue Xia Chan.

Zou Mi took it and stared at the envelope blankly. It was a long time before he opened it and read it.

After a long time, Zou Mi put away the letter and said, "I heard about the Tianshan Sect from Changyan. Yue'er suffered a lot, and I am very grateful for your help in rebuilding the sect."

"What are you talking about, Senior Sister?" Lin Bai smiled slightly. "Since Senior Sister has entrusted me with this, it is my duty to do my best to help."

Zou Mi nodded, as if to show his acceptance, and then asked, "I heard from Chang Yan that Senior Brother Yue Chenzi was expelled from the Tianwen Sect, and that he committed suicide. Most of the people left in the ancestral temple surrendered. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. Senior Huo's whereabouts are unknown and no one knows where he went." Lin Bai said.

Zou Mi turned his head and looked towards the north. After a long while, he said, "It should have ended like this. Our ancestor planned the Tianshan Sect and asked us to come to the East Sea. I believe he also expected this day."

"The situation is like this, there's nothing we can do about it," Lin Bai comforted.

Zou Mi nodded slightly and asked, "How about Chi Shangxing?"

"I heard that he surrendered to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"It's good to be alive." Zou Mi seemed to have let it go. He didn't scold Chi Shangxing like he scolded Wu Muqian back then. He just said, "He has a strong character. It's not easy for him to bow his head. But if his Yuanying surrenders, I'm afraid he will have to be driven for a hundred years."

"Using this as a mirror, we should work harder to improve ourselves." Lin Bai consoled with a smile, "This friend Huo Changyan was entrusted to me by Senior Brother Yue Chenzi. He wanted Huo Changyan to join Zhou Hui Mountain and practice in peace."

"I will teach you personally." Zou Mi said.

Lin Bai took out the alchemy book and formation bamboo slips given by Yue Chenzi. Zou Mi took them with both hands and fell silent again.

These things came from the Tianwen Sect, and were a secret that was never passed down, and extremely precious. Lin Bai had already memorized them, but had not yet practiced them.

Zou Mi asked about Zhou Wuji and Li Chou again, and then said no more.

Lin Bai pointed to the Qinfang Pond and said, "Sister, although the withered lotus listening to the rain is beautiful, it is a bit desolate and does not suit the aspirations of our generation to cultivate the Tao."

As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box and continued, "When the Sun and Moon Shadow Lake was still called Qiu Shui Lake, I first saw Ying Ri Su He and thought of my senior sister. Now that I have seen my senior sister, I feel that Ying Ri Su He is far inferior to her. But I still brought some seeds. There is underground fire at the foot of Heng Wu Mountain, and the spiritual energy here is sufficient, which is suitable for planting."

In fact, Lin Bai didn’t think so much. It was just that Wumuqian and Qiuyucan were so capable and stuffed a lot of specialties.

After hearing this, Zou Mi saw that Lin Zhuanlun was looking at her sincerely, and she felt a special feeling in her heart. She said, "Then I will keep it. When the lotus flowers bloom in the future, I will invite you to appreciate them."

"The red lotus flowers and the human face complement each other, which must be the most beautiful scene in the world." Lin Bai said. Zou Mi smiled, looked away, and said nothing.

Min Qianqian stood by without saying a word, looking as if she was used to it; Huo Changyan didn't dare to say anything either. It was only after she came to Zhou Huishan that she heard that Senior Zhuanlun had a bad reputation. Now it seems that this was probably the cause of his bad reputation.

After chatting for a while, Lin Bai stood up and said goodbye.

When I returned to the purple bamboo forest, I wanted to taste the fruits on the twigs again, but I saw Miaomiao teaching Gu Lianzhu a lesson, with Gu Wushang and Yuan Wuchen beside her.

Gu Wushang has been in the Jindan stage for many years, and has taken over the management of the Gu family affairs on behalf of Gu Jiuzhong. He has not neglected his cultivation, and has long since become a Taoist couple with Yuan Wuchen.

Yuan Wuchen was under orders in Huludao and was recommended by Lin Bai. Therefore, the couple was very close to Lin Bai.

Gu Lianzhu hadn't yet formed his elixir, and Miaomiao was scolding him for not working hard enough.

Lin Bai knew that he was here to urge him, so he asked a few questions about cultivation and then went to Menghu.

When he arrived at Huludao, Gu Qingshui sat upright with the same expression as before.

Gu Yao and Gu Jiuzhong stood up and saluted, with strange expressions on their faces.

Back then, Lin Bai and Gu Yao studied formations in the same cave, and he had a close relationship with Gu Jiuzhong. Now, in the blink of an eye, he has become an elder.

"I heard that Yang Shaoan has not been found yet. Could something have happened to him?" After paying his respects, Gu Jiuzhong directly asked about the whereabouts of his good friend.

"I sent someone to inquire about it, but he hadn't found it when he came back." Lin Bai said.

Gu Jiuzhong sighed deeply, looking as if he was grieving for the death of a rabbit and feeling sorry for his own kind.

Gu Yao had a look of disdain on her face. She stepped forward and held Gu Jiuzhong, then said to Lin Bai, "Senior is talking to the ancestor, we dare not disturb him."

She even blinked.

Lin Bai was silent. Back then, the Gu family was guarding against him like they were guarding against a thief, but now their attitude has changed!

"Xiao Shui." Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Lin Bai hurriedly went to hold Gu Qingshui's hand.

Gu Qingshui took two puffs and finally agreed.

The two talked about their separation, and Lin Bai deliberately made it sound thrilling, attracting Gu Qingshui's attention.

Then the two of them talked about their own practice.

Although Gu Qingshui had conceived a baby when Lin Bai first entered Qiaoshan, it was actually not that long ago, only about a hundred years ago.

Although Lin Bai is a newcomer, he has the help of Shi Pan and is now at the second level of Nascent Soul. He has caught up with Gu Qingshui and Fox.

"Every step forward in the Nascent Soul realm brings with it difficulties. Most Nascent Soul cultivators are stuck in the initial stage for their entire lives, unable to make any progress. I now feel like the third level of the Nascent Soul is as thin as a sheet of paper, yet it is difficult to break through." Gu Qingshui said.

Lin Bai lacked experience, so he asked, "Have you asked Brother Yang? What about other fellow practitioners?"

"Of course I asked, but they didn't have much of a solution. They just said the same old things. Either go out and look for a way to save life or death, or look for treasures and medicine pills, or try other ways." Gu Qingshui spoke in a lower and lower voice.

The first method is not very reliable, and the second one may not be easy to find either.

"What method?" Lin Bai asked curiously, thinking that he might be able to use it in the future.

"I heard that you practiced dual cultivation with the girl in the Jiang family's black tower?" Gu Qingshui changed the subject, but his tone was serious, as if he had made a great decision.

Who spread this? You ruined my reputation for no reason! Lin Bai felt that his innocence was damaged, but he also felt that what Auntie Gu said seemed to have a deeper meaning...

"She had difficulty making progress back then, and I also had trouble making progress, so I gave it a try. Unexpectedly, I realized that it had such a miraculous effect." Lin Bai was honest and did not let go of Gu Qingshui's hand, but he saw a slight blush on her cold face.

"Although the harmony of yin and yang is also a great way, it is the easiest to go astray, because greed and indulgence hinder the heart of Tao. You should also restrain yourself." Gu Qingshui's voice was light, as if it was far away, but also seemed to be by her ear. She continued: "I checked the things left by Shoutian Pavilion earlier and found a method for double cultivation to break through the barriers. I think it is quite mysterious. I think the things left by Huashen Sect must be of some use."

"Then let's give it a try now!" Lin Bai immediately made a decision, "The great principle is the most important!"

"I know what you're thinking, don't worry." Gu Qingshui glanced at Lin Bai, her face slightly flushed, and said with a smile: "You've thought about it a long time ago, right?"

"This... is what I thought of." Lin Bai told the truth.

"But this method requires both parties to be close to a breakthrough." Gu Qingshui took out a bamboo slip and asked Lin Bai to take a closer look. "This is a method of practicing together and making progress together. Yin and Yang complement each other, and we advance and retreat together."

Lin Bai understood that he would have to wait until he was about to break through the third level of the Nascent Soul realm. They would practice together and then break through together.

"This is a last resort. After all, it's hard to find someone who is also blocked at the checkpoint. You have to know each other and trust each other to get along well." Gu Qingshui said seriously, "I didn't intend to use it, but when I saw you come back, I thought about it for a few days and thought I could give it a try."

"That's right!" Lin Bai said immediately.

Gu Qingshui smiled, made an agreement, and said, "You can only listen to me then."

"Of course." Lin Bai agreed to everything.

When Gu Qingshui saw Lin Bai like this, she stopped talking.

"Then I will go back and meditate, and try to get to the checkpoint as soon as possible. I can't keep you waiting for long!" Lin Bai said as he stood up and left.

"..." Gu Qingshui saw that Lin Bai was so anxious that he had already left the Menghu area and went to the Purple Bamboo Forest.

"I originally wanted to say that we should get familiar with each other first..." Gu Qingshui shook his head helplessly.

Lin Bai returned to the Purple Bamboo Forest and began to meditate in silence.

Two months later, it was time for the Taoist meeting.

Lin Bai was the first person to have a baby after Zhou Huishan was rebuilt, so the Daohui was naturally grand. In addition to the Qiaoshan, Yunxia Sect, and Jiuyin Mountain Sects, even Mo Yingcheng from the Daoyin Sect came.

First, the foreign master Li Chou preached, and then Lin Bai.

The Taoist meeting lasted for three days before it was finally adjourned.

Lin Bai was just thinking about chatting with Mo Yingcheng when Jiang Xingchi came over.

"The ancestor has come out of retreat and is calling us to come." Jiang Xingchi said. (End of this chapter)
