The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 52: Golden Core Monk (Two in One)

"What's on your hands? Why are they so sticky?"

Pei Ning was stunned for a moment and slapped Lin Bai's hand away. Her face was slightly red, and she didn't know if it was because of the cold weather.

"I just blew Xiuxiu's nose." Lin Bai was quite embarrassed and asked, "Did you say anything to the Nine Yin Mountain Immortal Master?"

"..." Pei Ning frowned, wiped his mouth with his sleeve a few times, then glared at Lin Bai fiercely and said, "I have already reminded that Immortal Master Qi that his foreign aid is coming."

"That's enough." Lin Bai nodded.

"Mr. Bai..." Pei Ning looked towards the back hall.

"His organs are failing, and he can't eat a single grain of rice. I can only use my internal energy every day to keep him alive." Lin Bai sighed and said, "This is not a long-term solution. It will only last for a few days."

Pei Ning was silent for a while, then walked towards the back hall.

Over there, Xiuxiu was decocting medicine, but she had her head hung down, her eyes dull, and she was in a daze.

"Xiu Xiu." Pei Ning walked forward and squatted on one knee.

"Uncle Master." Xiuxiu saw Pei Ning and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "Grandpa is going to look for mom."

Pei Ning lowered his head, unable to bear to look into Xiuxiu's eyes.

For a moment, the three of them were silent, with only the sound of the howling wind and snow between heaven and earth.

After a long time, I suddenly heard a noise in the street.

Then the national teacher Zhang Yuanshan rushed in.

"Silly girl, you rush here as soon as you come back. Have you forgotten your father?" Zhang Yuanshan complained.

Pei Ning frowned and said nothing.

"Lin boy," Zhang Yuanshan looked at Lin Bai again and said, "You are really good at seducing people. You have made my daughter crazy!"

"Dad, just tell me what's going on." Pei Ning didn't want to talk here, so he pulled Zhang Yuanshan and walked towards the front hall of the clinic.

Lin Bai followed.

Arriving at the front hall of the clinic, Zhang Yuanshan said with a smile: "Lin boy, don't you want the elixir that can bring the dead back to life? Now that it is available, do you want to go and get it?"

"Is the female immortal master here?" Pei Ning asked.

"It's Immortal Master Zhang Han who's here." Zhang Yuanshan stroked his beard and smiled.

Pei Ning and Lin Bai both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Dad, did Zhang Han tell us when the female fairy master will come?" Pei Ning asked.

"He doesn't know either." Zhang Yuanshan shook his head and continued to ask: "Now those useless people from the Qingyang Sect are still in the mountains. We are the only ones who can command them here, so he should give us some benefits. Who knows, he might give us some elixir that can save the old man's life! Besides, it won't hurt to get to know him."

Pei Ning and Lin Bai looked at each other and both nodded slightly.

Now, this is the only way to save Mr. Bai.

Moreover, judging from Zhang Han’s previous behavior, he was obviously a cowardly and pleasure-seeking person.

There is no need to be too wary of this kind of person, but instead you can go and see what kind of person he is.

It won’t take long anyway, so there’s nothing wrong with going and taking a look.

Just as I was about to agree, Xiuxiu came over.

Lin Bai stepped forward and held Xiuxiu's hands. He felt that they were very cold, so he exhaled a breath of hot air and said, "I'm going to get some medicine outside. I will be back in an hour at most. You take care of Mr. Bai first."

Xiuxiu's nose was red. She looked at Lin Bai, then at Pei Ning, then at Zhang Yuanshan, and finally her big dark eyes turned to Lin Bai again, and there seemed to be mist under her long eyelashes.

"This is for you. It's cold outside." Xiuxiu took out the earmuffs from her cloth bag and handed them to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took it, pinched her cheek gently, and then walked out.

When the thick curtain was lifted, Xiuxiu suddenly asked in a low voice from behind: "You won't leave me too, will you?"

Lin Bai stopped walking, turned back, forced a smile, scratched her nose, and said, "As long as you don't find me annoying, I will never leave you."

Xiuxiu nodded, seeming to feel a little relieved, and said, "Then go quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Hurry up! Why are you wasting time talking to a kid? Don't keep the Master waiting for too long!" Zhang Yuanshan was very impatient.

"Zhang Yuanshan!" Pei Ning gripped the hilt of the sword and glared at Zhang Yuanshan.

Zhang Yuanshan smiled awkwardly and walked out first.

When we came out of the clinic, there were soldiers and constables waiting outside.

Pei Ning picked a familiar-looking constable and asked him to lead five men to guard the clinic and report immediately if anything happened.

After finishing the explanation, he and Lin Bai rode to the county government office.

The snow on the road was getting thicker and thicker, and the horses were trampling on it. The sky was gloomy and the north wind seemed to be pressing people into the snow.

I walked all the way to the county government office, entered through the main gate, and came to the backyard.

In the pavilion where Pei Ning met Lin Bai in the past, there sat an old man with a black beard, about fifty years old.

There was a beautiful woman beside him, wearing very little, and it was obviously Ren Qiaoyun.

"Master Zhang." Zhang Yuanshan led Lin Bai and Pei Ning forward and bowed.

Zhang Han took his hand out of Ren Qiaoyun's arms and said with satisfaction: "It's OK, your waist is still soft. Go down and wash yourself, and come to my room in the evening."

Ren Qiaoyun bowed gracefully, smiled charmingly, and then slowly retreated.

Zhang Han stared at Ren Qiaoyun's back with lustful eyes. He didn't look like a sage at all, but rather like an old man without shame.

"Congratulations, Master, for finding another beautiful woman!" Zhang Yuanshan congratulated with a smile.

"You picked a great person. I won't forget your contribution!" Zhang Han flicked his sleeves and threw out a small medicine bottle. "Keep it. It will replenish your energy and prolong your life."

"Thank you for the reward, Immortal Master." Zhang Yuanshan's face flushed, and his flattering attitude became even more obvious.

Zhang Han looked at Lin Bai and Pei Ning again and asked, "I heard from Xiao Zhang that you two had gone to great lengths to go deep into Tianlang Mountain to find the whereabouts of my Master Qi. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"How dare I ask for anything when working for the Immortal Master?" Pei Ning was disdainful to ask, but he didn't dare to refuse.

"You are quite sensible." Zhang Han nodded slowly, stroked his beard and looked at Lin Bai.

"Master, my teacher is suffering from internal organ failure. I beg you to save his life with your magic medicine." Lin Bai bowed down.

"You mortal fools, don't waste my medicine." Zhang Han refused directly.

Lin Bai was silent, and did not ask again. He had come here with the hope of a chance, so if they didn't give it to him, that was fine, he couldn't force it.

After exchanging a glance with Pei Ning, the two were about to say goodbye and leave when they suddenly saw Zhang Han exclaiming and looking up at the sky.

Lin Bai and the other three followed his gaze and looked towards the western sky, but did not notice anything wrong.

But after a few breaths, they saw that there were dark clouds above the wind and snow, and suddenly a black light broke through the clouds like a waterfall.

In an instant, Lin Bai felt that the wind and snow seemed to have stopped for a moment, and then his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably and he could not stand steadily.

It was like a sheep seeing a tiger, with endless fear in his heart, he wanted to crawl on the ground and worship it.

"This is..." Lin Bai's legs went limp for no reason and he knelt on one knee on the ground. He wanted to resist, but suddenly he felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, making it hard for him to breathe.

Lin Bai pressed his hands on the ground and gritted his teeth to hold on, but the pressure on his body was getting greater and greater. When he was about to fall to the ground, his body suddenly became lighter. Lin Bai couldn't react in time and fell backwards to the ground.

Looking from the side, I saw Zhang Yuanshan prostrated himself, and it was obvious that he had not put up any resistance. Looking at Pei Ning again, she was no different from me, with cold sweat on her forehead and a look of horror on her face.

And that Immortal Master Zhang Han was already kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Lin Bai looked in the direction where Zhang Han was kneeling, and saw three more people in the pavilion.

The person in the middle was a Taoist female in her fifties, with a red dot between her eyebrows, and she wore a black Taoist robe embroidered with water patterns.

On the left and right were a boy and a girl. They both looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, the boy was handsome and the girl was pretty, both wearing wide-sleeved Taoist robes embroidered with auspicious patterns of clouds and rosy clouds. The female cultivator in the middle glanced at everyone, her eyes were as deep as the abyss, and her face was expressionless.

Lin Bai met the eyes of the female cultivator in the middle and saw that her eyes were as deep as the abyss. Just by looking at each other for a moment, he felt as if his whole body was swept by a whisk, as if he no longer had any secrets. Deep down in his heart, he wanted to confess everything honestly.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and looked towards Pei Ning.

Pei Ning wasn't having a good time either. He collapsed on the snow and kept shaking.

The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding and made a judgment: this person's level is far above Zhang Han!

He is not a foundation-building cultivator at all, but a golden elixir cultivator!

Lin Bai sat on the snow, not getting up, just breathing heavily, and couldn't stop laughing in his heart: That Zhang Yuanshan still wanted to seduce her with his male beauty, but could he? He was about to pee his pants, what was the point of seducing her! He couldn't even stand up!

This is still a small matter. If the other party uses secret methods to know my secrets, I am afraid I will have no place to bury my body!

"Uncle Qu! You're finally here!" Zhang Han knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

Uncle Naqu ignored him, just sat down and looked towards the north.

The girl next to her giggled and said, "Zhang Han, you are over a hundred years old, aren't you ashamed? Look, you are not as steady as ordinary people."

Zhang Yuanshan suddenly made up an excuse and said with a flattering smile: "Master, you are too kind. We were all shocked by your figure."

The girl glanced at Zhang Yuanshan with disdain on her face, but Zhang Yuanshan didn't notice. Instead, he took two steps on his knees and shouted to Lin Bai and Pei Ning, "Hurry up, both of you. Stop being in a daze and kneel down to kowtow to the Immortal Master!"

"That's all." Master Qu raised his hands, looked at Zhang Han, and asked, "When I came here, I saw that the atmosphere of war was raging in the north, and the blood was boiling. What's going on over there?"

"Master," Zhang Han knelt on the ground and said, "It is those ordinary people who are ignorant and keep attacking each other."

"I see." Master Qu nodded slightly and said, "I've heard that the Ancient Spirit Islands are desolate and most of the mortals are ignorant. It seems to be true."

"Uncle-master is right. Most of the people here are very stupid." Zhang Han also had a flattering look on his face.

Lin Bai listened silently, thinking to himself, "So they call us the Guling Islands... but it's just another island? Is it too far away? What does Guling mean?"

He glanced sideways at Pei Ning and found that she was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, communicating with each other tacitly with their eyes, desperately seeking a way to escape.

Pei Ning: "Say something!"

Lin Bai: "What did I say?"

Pei Ning: "Are you just waiting to die?"

Lin Bai had no choice but to muster up his courage and said hurriedly, "Mortals dare not see the appearance of immortals. We will guard outside to prevent any foolish people from bumping into the immortal master's carriage."

After saying that, Lin Bai leaned over and slowly backed away.

Pei Ning followed suit.

"Don't worry." Master Qu suddenly spoke with a smile on his face, saying: "I thought there was a lack of elegance in the Ancient Spirit Islands, but these two kids are not bad, they are both qualified."

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were so frightened that they dared not move. They just stood there stupidly, bent over and lowered their heads, looking extremely respectful.

Zhang Yuanshan's face showed greed.

The young girl tilted her head slightly and looked at them, saying, "Grandfather, I don't think they are that good. Don't be fooled by their sensible words. In fact, they are very scared and their bodies are shaking non-stop. They lack courage after all."

Master Qu looked at the girl lovingly and said, "I showed a little bit of my presence. They have never seen the world, so it is normal for them to be afraid."

"Yes." The girl immediately leaned over, as if she was convinced.

Lin Bai listened silently, not daring to look up. He just felt that this Master Qu seemed to have a good temper. At least he spoke like an elder and did not argue with ordinary people.

I don’t know if it’s his nature or if he’s too strong, so he’s so kind to ants.

"What are your names?" the girl asked in a sweet voice.

Just as Lin Bai was about to speak, Zhang Yuanshan came forward on his knees, raised his buttocks, and put his chin on the ground, flattering him: "Master, that is my daughter Pei Ning; this boy is my nephew, named Lin..." At this point, he seemed to have forgotten Lin Bai's real name, and stuttered for three breaths before saying: "My name is Lin Zhuanlun."

After saying this, Zhang Yuanshan added, "I am Zhang Yuan..."

"Shut up." The girl was very unhappy, as if she disliked Zhang Yuanshan very much.

Zhang Yuanshan didn't dare to say anything and immediately shut up.

"You two come forward and let me see." There was no other emotion in Master Qu's words.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, knowing that there was no chance of resistance, so they could only move forward.

"Uncle Qu!" Zhang Han suddenly said, "The sect's rules prohibit us from taking over the Ancient Spirit Islands..."

Master Qu frowned slightly, and the young man beside her stepped forward and slapped Zhang Han on the face, saying, "The sect rules are for you who guard Golden Turtle Island, not for Master herself!"

Zhang Han was woken up by the slap. He immediately fell to the ground in fear and kowtowed.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other and understood what they heard. It turned out that Master Qu wanted to accept a disciple...

They took a few steps forward and knelt down together.

"Raise your head." said Master Qu.

The two men looked up. Master Qu gently stretched out his finger and touched Pei Ning's brow. After a few breaths, he shook his head.

"Ancestor, is this not to your liking?" the girl asked curiously.

Master Qu smiled and said, "She has good talent, but her fate is a bit overbearing, and she has a bit of decadence, which is not in line with what I have learned."

My natal? Did he just look at my natal? Lin Bai groaned inwardly. If the other party could see through his true intentions, then he…

"Lin Zhuanlun, what are you daydreaming about? Look up!" The girl scolded, frowning and said, "What a messed up name!"

"Yes." Lin Bai could only look up.

Master Qu pointed at Lin Bai's brow, then shook his head.

"My aptitude is average. My true destiny is an unknown mist, which has a slightly desolate feeling."

Master Qu sighed and said, "I don't know if it's the fog in the mountains or the fog on the river. It's somewhat consistent with what I've learned, but this boy is so young and has already lost his vital energy..."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

When Lin Bai first heard her say that her original destiny was mist, he felt relieved, but he felt a little disappointed when he heard the last part.

Can I not practice cultivation after sleeping with a woman? Is Sister Zhen harming me?

"Master..." Lin Bai bravely asked, "Master, if I lose my Yuan Yang, will my path to cultivation be cut off?"

"Ancestor, look at his silly look." The girl giggled and answered, "The path of cultivation will naturally not be interrupted, but there are some techniques that cannot be learned."

Lin Bai understood and felt relieved.

"He has lost his vitality at such a young age. He must be a man who is greedy for beauty." The young man sneered.

Lin Bai didn't dare to say anything, thinking to himself, who can handle Sister Zhen?

"Master...Master..." Zhang Yuanshan crawled forward a few more steps, his face eager and flattering, "Master, please take a look at me. I also want to practice and serve you."

"Your Qi and blood are declining. Even if you start practicing, it will be difficult to achieve success." The girl frowned and said, as if she was very annoyed. "Get away!"

Zhang Yuanshan seemed to have aged several decades when he heard this. He collapsed on the snow, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to cry, but he didn't dare.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Master Qu looked at Zhang Han and asked, "Tell me everything that happened here."

"This old ancestor is the best at deducing and tracking down the criminals, and he will not let the villains get away with it." The girl clapped her hands and laughed.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning, two scoundrels, were trembling with fear.
