The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 51 Found it

If what Zhang Yuanshan said is true, the upcoming female immortal master has a higher status than Immortal Master Qi.

For a person who practices cultivation, his status and respect should be determined first by his level of cultivation, and then by his family background.

Moreover, he came here specifically to investigate the death of Master Qi, so he must be stronger than Master Qi.

Master Qi is at the foundation-building stage, and the person coming is at least at the foundation-building stage, or even above it.

In addition, there is a high possibility that he carries some kind of magical instrument that can be used to trace the whereabouts, or he may have magical powers that can trace the whereabouts.

Lin Bai thought of the battle in the cave, when Master Qi, who was only half alive, had to fight with Pei Ning...

Even if one cultivates the Wuji Gong to perfection and has an invincible sword like Pei Wuyong, it would still be difficult to withstand the power of the magic.

Walking side by side with Pei Ning on the road, not caring about the looks of passers-by, the two discussed for a long time but could not come up with a serious solution.

The main reason is that the two of them don't know enough about the practitioners. If you don't know their supernatural powers, you don't know their majesty.

When they were about to part, Lin Bai asked, "Your father mentioned Xiuxiu's mother. Where did she go?"

Pei Ning was silent for a while, then said, "Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Zhong sailed out to sea and have not returned yet."

"Seeking the immortal's way?" Lin Bai asked.

Pei Ning nodded, and then continued: "Since ancient times, no one who sailed far away has ever returned alive."

That would be a life-or-death situation.

Lin Bai was silent for a long time and felt that it would be better not to tell Mr. Bai about this.

"That female immortal master won't be here for a while, let's wait and see." Pei Ning still looked confident, "Anyway, I'll go to Tianlang Mountain to look for that thing and get some information. You stay in the clinic and don't go out and cause trouble."

"I save that." Lin Bai agreed. This was also his plan.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh today." Pei Ning's tone was a little depressed, and he forced out a smile, "He has been licking the soles of shoes for many years, but he didn't get anything out of it."

"I know. I will never lick it again."

Lin Bai smiled knowingly and asked, "Does the Qingyang Sect have any magic elixir that can cure serious illnesses and cleanse the internal organs?"

Pei Ning looked up at Lin Bai and whispered, "Mr. Bai..."

"Mr. Bai probably won't survive this year," Lin Bai said.

Pei Ning was silent for a long time, and said: "The elixir given by the Immortal Master... If you don't have internal strength, I'm afraid you can't bear it. Besides, I can't get it."

Lin Bai sighed and turned back.

Three months passed quickly, winter had arrived and it was getting colder day by day.

The female immortal master never came, so Zhang Yuanshan and his daughter went into the mountain to see the grotto.

But less than half a month later, Zhang Yuanshan hurried back, but Pei Ning did not come back.

The Qingyang Sect searched the entire world for Tong Ruhu, but there was still no result.

In addition, I heard that the fighting in the north was getting more intense. There were two rebels named Li and Zhang who were fighting vigorously and had become a force to be reckoned with.

However, Huaxi County was the same as usual, without even a single disaster victim. The Qingyang Sect sent batches of people to come, and the imperial court even specially allocated 3,000 heavenly soldiers to guard the area.

Since the beginning of winter, Doctor Bai's condition has been getting worse day by day. He has been bedridden, and it is obvious that his illness is beyond recovery.

Lin Bai has been living in the clinic these days, sharing a room with Doctor Bai for easier care.

Because of this, the progress of martial arts was a little slower.

However, her own talent is not bad, and the effect of Sister Zhen's pills is still evident. After all, she has cultivated the Wuji Gong to the eighth level and has already seen the threshold of the ninth level.

It will take at most one month to complete the task.

From midsummer to late winter, it only takes half a year, which is equivalent to others taking 20 to 30 years to complete the task.

But compared to these, Lin Bai hopes that Mr. Bai can get better.

After noon that day, the wind suddenly blew outside and the sky became gloomy, as if it was going to snow.

Although Lin Bai was not afraid of the cold, he could not stand Xiuxiu's supervision and had already put on his cotton coat and cotton shoes.

Xiuxiu was decocting medicine in the back hall, but her eyes were dull, as if she had lost her soul.

She had learned to read medical books since she was a child, and her experience in treating patients was no less than Lin Bai's. She just thought less in the past. But now, she also knew that Mr. Bai didn't have much time left.

Normally she talks the most, and even if she is busy with work, she will chatter endlessly with Lin Bai. But now she can only say a few words a day.

Lin Bai prepared the meal and urged Xiuxiu to come and eat, but she just shook her head.

In the past, she was the most active one in eating. Even after eating too much, she would still eat something else to relieve the pressure. By the time it was 5 p.m., it was already getting dark, and the wind was getting louder.

In the back hall of the clinic, in Doctor Bai’s bedroom.

The charcoal stove was burning and the air was filled with medicinal aroma.

Xiuxiu sat at the head of the bed, holding the medicine bowl in one hand and the medicine spoon in the other. She blew gently on the medicine before bringing it to Doctor Bai's mouth.

After Doctor Bai drank the medicine, Xiuxiu took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of Doctor Bai's mouth.

"Silly girl, you are a doctor, you should know that birth, aging, sickness and death are common things and everyone cannot avoid them." Mr. Bai had sunken eye sockets, dry beard, cloudy eyes, but there was a smile on his face.

"I know." Xiuxiu nodded and wanted to laugh, but tears came down and she quickly wiped her tears with her sleeves.

Doctor Bai leaned against the bedside quilt, gently patted Xiuxiu's hand, then looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Are there many patients these days?"

"More than usual." Lin Bai said.

Doctor Bai nodded slightly and advised: "Many people suffer from dry cough and fever in winter, so prepare more medicines such as Fritillaria, Forsythia, and Adenophora. People in the north city are poor, and they won't come to see a doctor unless they can't bear it anymore. You have to be more serious."

"Yes." Lin Bai replied.

"That's good, that's good..." Doctor Bai smiled with satisfaction, then seemed to fall asleep again, closing his eyes.

Lin Bai walked out of the room and came to the yard. He saw the north wind howling, but no snow came.

After thinking about it, Lin Bai went to South City again, met Zhang Yuanshan, and learned that Pei Ning had not returned yet.

When I asked Zhang Yuanshan for medicine again, he also said there was nothing he could do.

Five days later, at the end of the morning hour, the sky became gloomy again and extremely cold.

Not long after, heavy snow began to fall.

Huaxi County is located in the northern part of Lihua Prefecture, slightly north of the southern part of Yu State. Although there was snow in previous years, it was not this heavy.

The bottom of the pot where Xiuxiu was cooking rice porridge was smoking, so Lin Bai had no choice but to send her to boil medicine.

Not long after, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard on the street.

When I opened the door, it was Pei Ning.

It has been more than three months since we last met. Pei Ning was exhausted and although he looked tired, he could not hide his excitement.

Her clothes and cloak were covered with snow. She jumped off the horse, brushed the snow off her body, and nodded slowly to Lin Bai.

This is something I found!
Lin Bai lifted the curtain, let her in, and then closed the door.

"found it."

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the pharmacy, Pei Ning spoke in a low voice.

She exhaled white air, handed out a worn thin book from her bosom, and asked again: "Has the female fairy master come yet?"

"I haven't heard of it." Lin Bai shook his head, took the booklet, flipped through it casually, and closed it again.

"You keep it. It's not convenient for me to carry it." Pei Ning rubbed his slightly red face.

Lin Bai nodded and stuffed the thin volume onto the bookshelf together with the medical books.

"I also met the man from Jiuyin Mountain." Pei Ning said again.

"Purple Air?" Lin Bai asked with a frown.

Pei Ning nodded and said, "Originally I couldn't find the immortal secret, but then a wisp of purple air appeared in front of me. I followed it boldly, and finally found the place on the silk cloth."

"..." Lin Bai became more and more certain that the person from Jiuyin Mountain was Sister Zhen.

It's been so long, why hasn't she left yet? Is the pill theory ready?

She once said that it was far from home and it was inconvenient to go back. She also said that the breakthrough would take only one or two years...

It seems that she is planning to break through here.

"Have you seen her?" Lin Bai asked.

"No." Pei Ning shook his head. "A black cicada flew into my ear and said, 'You slut, get out of here quickly. Don't hang around here all day. It's annoying.'"

"..." Lin Bai confirmed that it was indeed Sister Zhen.

"That immortal master from Jiuyin Mountain has no ill will towards me." Pei Ning inferred in a low voice, "But she said I was a slut. I think she might not look that good..."

Lin Bai immediately covered her mouth.
