The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 71 Seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck
Putting aside the matter of Nascent Soul for the moment, Lin Bai went to ask Zhang Han again to hear his views on "Alchemy Theory".

After asking, even Lin Bai, an idiot in cultivation, could see Zhang Han's ability.

Although I knew before that Zhang Han was not as knowledgeable as Song Qing, Zhang Han had been building his foundation for much longer than Song Qing. But his insights on alchemy theory were not as profound as Song Qing's.

In fact, Zhang Han had never thought about the theory of alchemy.

Come to think of it, Zhang Han built his foundation in his fifties, while Song Qing built his foundation in his youth. One has no hope for the great way, while the other has hope, so naturally they think differently.

There is naturally a huge difference between genius and mediocrity.

Moreover, Song Qing has a good teacher, but Zhang Han doesn’t even have a bellyband.

Lin Bai wanted to discuss something with Pei Ning, but seeing that she was still in meditation, he did not disturb her.

With nothing to do, Lin Bai went fishing, made a fire and boiled fish soup, and invited the two old gentlemen to have something hot.

After drinking the hot soup, they both burst into tears. I don't know if it was because they were thinking back to the good old days or if they had other thoughts.

After serving Song Zhang well, Lin Bai discussed the Water-related Heart-searching Technique with Song Qing.

Although Song Qing had lost his supernatural powers, his knowledge was still there, and many of his insights made Lin Bai feel suddenly enlightened.

Of course, Lin Bai didn't dare to believe Song Qing completely, and only took his words to verify his own findings.

As his cultivation level improved, Lin Bai’s understanding of the Water-related Heart-searching Technique became more profound.

This technique of using water as a mirror is not very profound. It can be used to reflect oneself, others, or things. But the most important thing is to focus on oneself.

While calming down, one can predict the good or bad fortune of one's future and the good or bad fortune of doing something.

If you want to measure others, it is too difficult, you need to be one level higher than the other person in terms of cultivation. And it may not be accurate.

To put it bluntly, the method of deduction is indeed mysterious and magical, but it requires extremely high levels of cultivation and talent.

Moreover, this Water-phase Questioning Heart Technique can only be regarded as a "technique" that can be learned by everyone. In comparison, it is far inferior to the innate magical power.

The so-called innate magical power refers to the magical power derived from the innate. Through the internal exchange of the innate, one can realize the method of magical power.

Just like Qu Chengjia, her natal star was a black turtle in the river, and the magical power derived from it was the black turtle's divination.

According to Song and Zhang, after building the foundation, the innate magical power will be generated naturally. But if you want to generate another innate magical power in the future, it depends on your own chance.

Some people have many magical powers, while others only have one.

In the Qi training stage, there is usually no innate magical power. This is because the Qi training stage cannot see the sea of ​​consciousness, and naturally cannot connect the innate, so it is difficult to derive the innate magical power.

But nothing is absolute. If you are in crisis, or if your actions are in line with your own destiny, you can also develop your own magical powers.

The innate magical power comes from the innate, and must be in line with the innate. For example, Zhang Han's innate is Hanshan, which means lonely, cold and cold, and also has the solidity of a mountain. His magical power is like that of Lengshan, so naturally he will not have magical powers like deduction.

Qu Chengjia's natal star was a black turtle in the river, which symbolizes the charm of water. A black turtle asked her fortune, and she also studied the science of numerology in depth, so it was natural that her natal supernatural powers were related to numerology.

Moreover, her innate magical power, the Black Turtle Divination, is much more advanced than the Water-related Divination.

What's more important is that the innate magical power consumes much less spiritual power than the learned magic.

"What kind of magical power can my natal stone disc give rise to? And what exactly is this stone disc?"

"And what about Sister Ning? What is her destiny? Qu Chengjia said that her destiny is domineering and has a sense of decadence... What does this mean?"

Lin Bai pondered for a long time but got nothing.

Two hours later, Pei Ning opened his eyes.

She has not yet entered the second level of Qi training and cannot use spiritual energy to cleanse her body all the time. She is weaker than Lin Bai.

After driving Song and Zhang away, the two chatted while enjoying the sea breeze.

This is what they do every day. Although spiritual practice can be addictive, it also requires constant adjustment.

The two discussed it and felt that no matter whether Song and Zhang were lying or not, it was still too early to talk about Tianqi and Danlun.

Moreover, this matter is easy to verify and we will know the answer in the future. There is no rush for now.

However, we still cannot believe everything Song and Zhang say.

It is better to have no Song and Zhang than to trust them completely.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning discussed for a long time but could not come up with any rules. In the end, they decided to stay here for the time being and improve as much as possible.

Three months passed quickly and Pei Ning successfully reached the second level of Qi training.

Lin Bai also reached the fourth level of Qi training.

The spiritual energy here is too thin, otherwise it would be much faster.

However, as his cultivation level improved, Lin Bai also slowly felt that his progress was getting slower and slower. This was certainly due to the thin spiritual energy here, but also because he had entered the middle stage of Qi training.

According to Song Zhang, in the early stage of Qi training, one usually progresses one layer every three to five months; in the middle stage, it is a little slower, about half a year or a year; and in the late stage, it is even slower, about one layer every one to two years.

Overall, it only takes ten years to build the foundation, which is considered very good.

If one has poor comprehension and aptitude, there are many people who take twenty years to build a foundation, like Zhang Han.

As for people like Song Qing who are extremely talented and intelligent, they are extremely rare.

Moreover, the fourth, sixth, and seventh levels of the Qi training period are usually thresholds that need to be overcome. This is naturally not difficult for geniuses, but for mediocre people, it may take a lifetime to pass.

Song Qing once said that most people who practice Qi training are stuck at the third level. Zhang Han also said that being able to build a foundation is a great blessing, surpassing most cultivators.

Therefore, it was still very surprising to Song and Zhang that Lin Bai reached the fourth level of Qi training in just over half a year.

The two of them also had a lot of flattering words to say, but Lin Bai just listened and knew that they must be very resentful in their hearts.

"Brother Lin has managed to break through to the fourth level of Qi training in this desolate place. It's truly amazing! My junior brother Song only took him one year to break through to the fourth level of Qi training!" Zhang Han praised while blowing his beard.

"Based on Brother Lin's progress, he will be able to reach the threshold of foundation building in three to five years at most!" Song Qing did not hesitate to praise him, "I have an uncle who was also extremely talented back then. He built the foundation in three years! In my opinion, Lin Bai won't be much behind!" "Shut up." Pei Ning pressed the sword.

Song Qing and Zhang Han didn't dare to say a word. They lowered their heads and hid behind Lin Bai.

"The spiritual energy here is becoming increasingly thinner. What should we do?" Pei Ning asked Lin Bai.

This is the new problem the two of them encountered. With the improvement of their cultivation, the spiritual energy here is not enough, and they need to move to a new place.

But there is no place to change! We can't go to Golden Turtle Island, right? Wouldn't that be a trap?
Lin Bai pondered in silence, while Song Qing and Zhang Han looked at each other frequently, as if they had some ideas.

For a moment, the four of them were silent. Lin Bai and Pei Ning seemed confused, while Song Qing and Zhang Han did not dare to speak.

After a long time, Pei Ning suddenly smiled, "Didn't you practice the Heart-searching Technique? Why don't you calculate and deduce it to see where it will be auspicious and where it will be disastrous."

“I was learning it for fun.”

Although Lin Bai said this, he was actually moved in his heart.

Isn't this Water-related Question of the Heart the knowledge of fortune-telling to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune? I don't know what to do right now, so I can just do a test.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai stretched out his hand, and a beam of water jumped out from the surging waves ten feet away and fell into Lin Bai's palm.

"Use water as a mirror." Lin Bai muttered to himself, and the sea water immediately spread out on his palm.

Pei Ning held the sword and watched with great interest.

Zhang Han didn't understand this and just stared blankly. But Song Qing was knowledgeable and couldn't take his eyes off.

Lin Bai calmed down, and ripples appeared on the water surface of his palm, and then his own shadow was reflected.

As Lin Bai became absorbed in his thoughts, he felt that the water surface on his palm seemed to have some connection with himself.

After a few breaths, the water on the palm began to shake violently, various lights and shadows flashed, and suddenly exploded and turned into water vapor.

Song Qing curled his lips to show disdain, and then immediately made a sad and regretful expression. "Alas, just a little bit."

Zhang Han had already given a thumbs up and shouted, "Brother Lin is making rapid progress indeed!"

Lin Bai shook his head at Pei Ning and said, "No. This matter involves you, me, and two foundation builders. It is really difficult to predict whether it will be good or bad."

Pei Ning smiled and said, "Then let's figure out where your old lover is."

When did you stop being able to forget her?
"Boring!" Lin Bai immediately frowned and put on a serious face.

Pei Ning sneered, walked away and continued his meditation.

Lin Bai was also feeling unhappy. Seeing that Song and Zhang were about to complain again, he turned his face away.

When Song Zhang saw this, he felt that he was likely to be implicated, so he quickly moved away, fearing that he would bring bad luck.

Lin Bai sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and emptied his mind.

Everything inside the stone plate remained the same.

Strands of extremely fine light blue threads poured in from outside the mist. This was the water-attributed spiritual energy of the place, which was extremely surging, but also becoming thinner and thinner, and was about to be squeezed dry.

"It will probably take more than ten years, or even longer, for this place to recover..."

As Lin Bai thought this, he stretched out his hand and summoned a thin mist, which immediately turned into a water shadow.

"Since I can't predict good or bad luck outside, what about here?"

Thinking of this, Lin Bai calmed down and slowly reflected himself in the water.

"Seek good fortune and avoid disaster, seek good fortune and avoid disaster, what does it mean to seek good fortune and avoid disaster?"

"Which way should I go?"

As he thought this, the ripples on the water swayed, reflecting his own appearance, then dispersed, swaying endlessly.

Bang! The water shadow turned into mist.

"It's still useless..."

Lin Bai stroked his chin and thought for a while, then waved his hand again and turned into a water shadow.

"This time, let's keep it simple. We won't ask how to find out whether it's auspicious or not. We'll just ask how dangerous it is to go to Golden Turtle Island. Is that okay?"

As he thought this, the water ripples swayed, first reflecting himself, then spread out, forming circles of water ripples with cloud patterns on them.

Lin Bai waved his hand, and the water shadow immediately dissipated and turned into mist.

"Hiss... I wanted to test my ability and see how dangerous Golden Turtle Island is. How can I get a good result?"

"Will there be any good news when we go to Golden Turtle Island?"

"It is auspicious to turn misfortune into blessing, it is auspicious to get promoted and make a fortune, it is auspicious to have sex, it is auspicious to meet a famous teacher, a good student, and a beautiful woman... Which kind of auspiciousness is it?"

Lin Bai thought for a while and tried again.

Still lucky.

After trying again, I couldn't predict anything.

Lin Bai opened his eyes, but looked at the sea and sky in the distance, wondering whether he should go and take a look.

Pei Ning came over, sat next to Lin Bai, and said, "Do you have an idea? Where do you want to go?"

She had been in cahoots with Lin Bai for a long time and knew what Lin Bai looked like when he was thinking about something, so she could tell at a glance that he was contemplating something.

"It hasn't been decided yet." Lin Bai said.

"No matter where you go, I will follow you." Pei Ning turned his head to look at Lin Bai with a smile on his face, "No matter if it's mountains of swords and seas of fire, or cattle and sheep on the frontier. It would be best if I could meet your old lover. I want to see who she is."
