The Wheel-Turning Master.

When Sun Jianxing learned that Jie Lichou was Xiangli's beloved disciple, he was so shocked that he dropped his teacup.

It can be seen that he knew a lot about Xiangli and was quite wary of his methods.

Lin Bai and Li Chenyu remained silent. Miaomiao and Xiuxiu were not stupid either. They lowered their heads and frowned, also remaining silent.

The old Jindan ape who was accompanying him also had an unpleasant expression on his face.

Lin Bai winked at Miaomiao, who acted aggrieved, but was glared at again.

"Brother, I heard that there are many beautiful sights in Yuanxiao Mountain. Could you take us to see them?" Miaomiao said to the Jindan old ape with a smile.

"Please come in, Junior Sister." The Jindan old ape knew that he couldn't stay for long, so he led the way.

Miaomiao and Xiuxiu bowed to Sun Jianxing and retreated with the golden elixir old ape.

Without the younger generations, Lin Bai took down the Sun and Moon Gourd, brushed his sleeves to place down the wine glass, and poured fine wine for Sun Jianxing and Li Chenyu. "This is what I got in the Northern Wasteland. It is the sweetest and clearest."

Sun Jianxing drank a glass and praised: "It is indeed a good wine."

He then asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhuan Lun, have you been to the Northern Wilderness? I wonder what the scenery is like there?"

"The sky is full of wind and snow, and most of the people there are strong and rough, but there are also some with clever minds. There are many spiritual places and countless outstanding people. It is also the Taoist temple of Xuanyin Dao, so the atmosphere is naturally better than our East China Sea." Lin Bai did not ask directly about Xiangli, but instead brought up the things he saw and heard in the Northern Wilderness.

From the remains of the Qianye Patriarch, to the battle between the Qiu Shui Sword Sect, and finally the Tianwen Party and the Wanxian League.

Sun Jianxing has been practicing here for many years, and the ones who come and go are all spirit beasts and demon beasts. He has never heard of such a thing, and he felt dizzy when he heard it.

"When I was in the Northern Wilderness, I met Zhou Wuzhi, the first disciple of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Patriarch Juexin. When I returned to the East China Sea, I went to visit fellow Taoist Zhou Wuzhi, and it was at that time that I met Senior Sister Lichou. It was because of this that she followed me back to the East China Sea." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Sun Jianxing was silent for a long time, then said, "It seems that Senior Xiangli has made many friends in Zhongzhou."

"Indeed, I heard from Daoist Fellow Zhou Wuji that Senior Xiangli and Ancestor Juexin knew each other." Lin Bai poured more wine for Sun Jianxing and then asked, "Brother, have you met Senior Xiangli?"

"How could I have seen him?" Sun Jianxing waved his hands and said, "Senior Xiangli swore that he would never set foot in the East China Sea until he was promoted to the position of Dao Master. I have never been out of here, how could I have seen him?"

"Then how do you know about Senior Xiangli?" Li Chenyu asked curiously.

"When Taoist Wuxiang preached here, many monsters and spirit beasts came here." Sun Jianxing did not answer directly, but talked about the past.

He pointed to the place where the Snake King was sleeping soundly, and continued, "Many birds and beasts in the mountains and forests have received the grace of the Taoist Master Wuxiang. But there is one person and one butterfly who have made some achievements. One is Senior Xiangli, who is the only disciple under the Taoist Master Wuxiang and has received the true teachings; the other is Fairy Mengdie. Taoist Master Wuxiang often travels around on a butterfly, so the many small worlds and secret realms opened up by Taoist Master Wuxiang are now under the control of Fairy Mengdie, and she can travel freely. There is also a most special person, that is my ancestor."

When Sun Jianxing said that one man and one butterfly had made some achievements, he meant that they had advanced to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. And since he brought his ancestor with him, it was obvious that his ancestor was also at the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

Lin Bai and Li Chenyu were both surprised. They never expected to hear the old stories of Taoist Wuxiang here.

However, Lin Bai had used the Sun and Moon Gourd to look into the past of Taoist Wuxiang, and had also seen Taoist Wuxiang preach, but he did not know much about the things here. "My ancestor achieved enlightenment very early, and had been practicing here. Before Taoist Wuxiang achieved enlightenment, he had already entered the realm of transformation." Sun Jianxing was quite emotional, "Later, Taoist Wuxiang made breakthroughs one after another, and when he went deep into this place, he gave guidance to my ancestor. At that time, my ancestor's life span was already ten thousand years, and he needed two thousand years to survive the catastrophe of prolonging his life. Taoist Wuxiang once gave him a secret treasure to survive the catastrophe, which was quite a favor."

The life span of a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm is almost infinite, but after ten thousand years, he will have to endure a heavenly tribulation every two thousand years. As long as he can survive the heavenly tribulation, he will live another two thousand years.

Generally, a Divine Transformation cultivator often cannot survive the first round of Heavenly Tribulation. Even if they can survive, it is hard to say what will happen in the future, because the Heavenly Tribulation will become more and more fierce. Since a Divine Transformation cultivator who survives this Tribulation cannot attain the position of Dao Master within ten thousand years, most of them are people who cannot make any progress in their cultivation. Therefore, they can only survive two or three Heavenly Tribulations at most before turning into ashes.

The Taoist Master Wuxiang helped Sun Jianxing's ancestor to overcome the tribulation, which was a life-saving grace.

"What happened later?" Lin Bai asked curiously, "After the death of Taoist Wuxiang, what did your ancestor, Fairy Mengdie, and Senior Xiangli do?"

"Fairy Mengdie traveled around the Five States, mostly in the secret realms and small worlds left by Taoist Wuxiang, and she had also been here." Sun Jianxing seemed to recall the past, "When the Taoist fell, he saved this place and asked my ancestor to guard it. But later, Senior Xiangli came here and had a big fight with my ancestor."

"I heard that Senior Xiangli joined his family?" Li Chenyu asked with a smile.

"He had already reached the state of spiritual enlightenment at that time, so he had no right to get involved in the fight for the position of Taoist leader. It was understandable that he joined another family." Sun Jianxing did not blame Xiangli, but instead made excuses for him.

"Your ancestor fought a great battle with Xiangli. Who was the winner?" Li Chenyu asked.

"After all, the ancestor took advantage of his age, so it was a narrow victory." Sun Jianxing smiled, then shook his head and said, "But the ancestor said that Senior Xiangli was a genius and had received the true teachings of the Wuxiang Taoist. Among the same level, even if his realm was higher than his, it would be difficult to hurt him, let alone trap him to death. The ancestor was half older and half borrowed a secret treasure, but he only drove him away and did not hurt him at all. Xiangli swore at that time that he would never enter this place again. But the ancestor did not survive the next round of heavenly tribulation and has already fallen."

"How did the Snake King in the Taoist temple come from?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I don't know about that." Sun Jianxing spread his hands. "The snake king suddenly appeared, and seemed to be a friend of Fairy Mengdie. Since he settled here, he has been sleeping soundly. When we went to pay our respects, he didn't respond at all. And the snake's venom was so strong that we didn't dare to get too close."

"Brother, how much do you know about Senior Xiangli?" Lin Bai was very curious why Sun Jianxing behaved inappropriately when it was mentioned that Jie Lichou was Xiangli's favorite disciple.

Li Chenyu also looked at Sun Jianxing curiously.

"Daoyou said that Jie Lichou came from the Northern Wasteland to the south because of his heart. In fact, I think that since Senior Xiangli's disciple is here, it is definitely not accidental." Sun Jianxing said solemnly, "How can a great man do something without reason? Senior Xiangli has always been scheming. Now that his disciple has come to visit the place where his old master taught, I am afraid he has other purposes."

"Then why didn't you come before? Why are you here now?" Li Chenyu asked with a smile.

"It may be that Senior Xiangli is not far from the position of Taoist master." Sun Jianxing said.

Lin Bai and Li Chenyu looked at each other and both remained silent.

Especially Lin Bai, he always felt vaguely that if they separated and became enlightened, the path he was taking would be cut off and he would stop at the state of transformation in this life.

The three of them were silent for a long time. Lin Bai filled up the glasses again and said with a smile, "Then let's go meet Senior Sister Jie Lichou. Maybe we can find out something."

"Alright." Sun Jianxing agreed immediately, "Since you two know them, why don't you ask for mercy and release the mountain king." (End of this chapter)
