The Wheel-Turning Master

I was in a turmoil for no reason, but I am safe and sound.

Lin Bai stood firm and rubbed his head in a pretentious manner. Seeing that someone else came in to ask questions, Yao Qianyuan had not left yet, and was talking to a Qigong patrol guard.

When she saw Lin Bai coming out, she hurried over and said, "Take me away."

Lin Bai knew that she had something to say, so she immediately agreed.

The two walked for a long time before Yao Qianyuan reminded him, "Don't go out these days, and don't leave Xinyifang."

"What happened?" Lin Bai was really curious.

"I don't know." Yao Qianyuan smiled and spread his hands.

It seems that the matter is really big. Lin Bai is an honest man, and he listens to advice the most, so he quickly agreed.

After chatting for a few more words, Yao Qianyuan left. Although Lin Bai wanted to go to the Zhu family to inquire, but thinking about what happened today, he thought it would be better to wait until the storm is over.

Anyway, he is innocent, and as long as he doesn't cause trouble, no one will bother him.

Back in the cave, Lin Bai continued to practice the method of tempering the body.

The next day, Jiang Chun came to visit again.

The whip marks on his face had not disappeared, leaving a dark burn mark.

"Brother Jiang, how are you?" Lin Bai bowed.

Jiang Chun returned the greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, yesterday's incident was indeed a mistake on the part of my Jiang family." He took out a bottle of elixir and presented it with both hands.

This was to apologize for the forced questioning by the patrol guards yesterday.

"Brother Jiang, we are friends because we are close friends. How can I accept your things?"

Lin Bai did not accept it, but sighed and said: "Besides, it was the patrol guards who were unreasonable yesterday. What does it have to do with your Jiang family? Senior Jiang has also protected me, and I am very grateful in my heart."

"Don't refuse, brother." Jiang Chun also changed his address and said sincerely: "This is my Jiang family's compensation. Everyone who rents the Earth Fire Cave Mansion will be compensated, and one month's rental fee will be waived. Please don't refuse."

Your family is too honest and kind in doing business, right?

Lin Bai was very grateful and decided that even if he became successful in the future, he would not sew Jiang girl's mouth.

"The matter of the Tiger and Wolf Pill yesterday..." Lin Bai took the pill and spoke again.

"My Jiang family is very clear about gratitude and resentment." Jiang Chun waved his hand and said generously: "Yesterday was because of my foolish brother, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Will you still refine the Tiger and Wolf Pill in the future?"

"Yes! Why not?" Jiang Chun stood straight, changing his usual humble gentleman appearance. "I take the Tiger and Wolf Pill not for pleasure, not for personal gain, but for family inheritance! Besides--" He pointed at the whip marks on his face and said: "Is this a slap in my face? This is a slap in Yang Shu's face!"

After what happened yesterday, Jiang Chun seemed to be a little arrogant. I don't know if it's because of the resentment in his heart that his personality has changed; or because everyone knows about the Tiger and Wolf Pill, so he is just going to break the jar and no longer care about his face.

Anyway, Lin Bai thinks it's good. A cultivator should be a little free and easy, even though he is usually polite and humble.

Lin Bai talked with him for a few more words, and Jiang Chun said goodbye and left, going to another family to apologize.

Close the cave and continue to practice hard.

A month passed quickly, and Lin Bai opened his eyes.

In the past month, Lin Bai has focused on tempering the body, followed by alchemy, and practiced a little slower. In his spare time, he would recall the meaning of earth fire.

The method of Hunyuan body tempering has made great progress.

Nothing can be seen on the outside, and the skin color is slightly dark red. But the flexibility of the body has been greatly enhanced compared to before, and there seems to be flames surging in the flesh and blood under the skin.

Counting it up, it has been almost ten years of tempering the body on the stone plate.

His aptitude is average, and there is no one to compare with the body refiner. Lin Bai's experience is shallow, so he does not know himself well enough.

According to the method of Hunyuan body tempering, the five elements can be combined after they are unified, and then the appearance is as usual, without adding luster, and there is no abnormality. But its appearance is extremely tough, and the flesh and blood inside have a repetitive effect, which is extremely durable. Even, after practicing for a long time, one can withstand the attack of someone who is one level higher than oneself.

"It would be great if Sister Ning was here. Let her stab me with a sword to test my ability. It can also be regarded as revenge for my always stabbing her."

Lin Bai muttered for a while, packed up the pills, and opened the cave to go out.

"My dear brother!" Jiang Chun saw Lin Bai coming out, hurried forward, smiled and bowed, "Why did you stay in seclusion for so long?"

The whip marks on his face were gone, and he returned to his usual modesty and courtesy, but his face was a bit unrestrained.

"I dare not delay for a moment in refining pills and practicing." Lin Bai smiled and returned the greeting.

"My little sister wrote to you again." Jiang Chun took out the letter.

"Thank you." Lin Bai took it, didn't read it, and put it away directly.

"And this..." Jiang Chun took out a wooden box and presented it.

It is the spiritual material of the Tiger Wolf Pill.

"Brother Jiang, wait for two days." Lin Bai smiled and put it away.

Jiang Chun smiled and agreed.

The two chatted about Jiang girl for a few words, and consciously didn't talk about what happened that day, and Lin Bai said goodbye.

When they found Fengming Pavilion, Zhu Yuling was not at the counter.

Lin Bai pulled over a familiar waiter and asked, only to find out that Zhu Yumao had just arrived and was chatting upstairs.

Upstairs, it was still the same room.

Zhu Jianyang sat upright, Zhu Yumao sat with him, and there was a child sitting in Zhu Yuling's arms, about two or three years old.

"Sit down, don't be polite." Zhu Jianyang smiled and waved his hand when he saw Lin Bai bowing.

"Yuling said you haven't been here for more than a month, but are you practicing hard at home?" Zhu Yumao asked with a smile.

"That's right." Lin Bai smiled, looked at the child, and asked, "Sister Yuling, is this your daughter?" He walked up and pinched the child's face.

"It's Yumao's." Zhu Yuling handed the child to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai hurriedly took it. Seeing that the child didn't cry or accept life, he hugged her and sat down.

"What's your name?" Lin Bai asked coaxingly.

The little girl just gnawed her fingers, glanced at Lin Bai with her big eyes, then turned away and ignored him.

"I haven't given a proper name yet, so my nickname is Miaomiao." Zhu Yumao said, his tone was kind and doting.

"Miaomiao, Miaomiao, how old are you?" Lin Bai asked.

The little girl turned her head to look at Lin Bai, her long eyelashes fluttering, and said, "Three years old." She made a milky voice, biting her fingers, and drool dripped from her mouth onto Lin Bai.

Zhu Yuling saw that Lin Bai didn't dislike the child at all, but rather liked her, so she smiled and said: "Brother Yun Xian loves her so much, why not let Miaomiao recognize her as a godfather."

Lin Bai ignored her.

"Why are you so confused?" Zhu Jianyang was originally smiling, but when he heard this, he frowned, "I am a monk, so I must not be an ordinary person."

Zhu Yuling lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.

"Forget it, godfather. When she gets older, I will teach her how to make alchemy." Lin Bai stared at the little girl's chubby face and couldn't help but think of Xiu Xiu.

I don’t know whether Xiuxiu is fat or thin now. Back in Huaxi County, Lin Bai often bought meat and sweets for her, and the girl was quite wealthy. But after Doctor Bai passed away, she lost weight. And when they parted, the girl was somewhat back to her old ways...

After Zhu Yuling heard Lin Bai's words, she immediately said with great joy: "Being a master is also great!"

Lin Bai saw that she looked like she used to when they were talking about marriage, so he wondered if something had happened recently that had irritated her.

"Senior," Lin Bai put Miaomiao on his lap, hugged her with one hand and pinched her fat face with the other, and asked, "A few days ago, the patrol guards went to the Jiang family to pick up people, have you ever heard of it?"

"Everyone in Xinyi Square knows about this." Zhu Jianyang held his beard, his face solemn.

"The news has spread even outside Xinyi Square." Zhu Yumao said with a smile: "But everyone said that the patrol guards are domineering and the Jiang family is kind."

"The Jiang family is really kind. They gave me a bottle of Jingjing Pills and waived my rent for one month."

Lin Bai smiled and said: "I also recognize the casual cultivator that I captured. He is a Qi Alchemist. I wonder what happened that caused the two Foundation Architects to inquire?"

"Our rising family has no one among the city guards." Zhu Jianyang shook his head slightly and continued: "But I think it should be related to the Qiaoshan Sect."

When he said this, his face became more serious, and he warned: "Qiaoshan Sect is the master of Qiaoshan, Nascent Soul Sect, this matter must be deeply involved, you must not get involved."

"Yes." Lin Bai responded respectfully.

Zhu Jianyang stopped talking about this matter, but looked at Zhu Yumao and asked, "Have you made any progress in your practice recently?"

"Slight progress." Zhu Yumao quickly sat up straight.

"As long as you make progress." Zhu Jianyang nodded and asked, "How is the family? Where is Yuyan?"

"This is exactly what I want to talk about on this trip. Yuyan has received the apocalypse and has gone out to look for opportunities to build a foundation." Zhu Yumao replied with a smile.

"Seriously?" Zhu Yuling stood up happily, her face a little crazy.

"That kid is pretty good." Zhu Jianyang was also pleased and asked, "Where are the others?"

Before Zhu Yumao could answer, Lin Bai stood up.

It’s not good to hear about other people’s family affairs. Lin Bai hugged Miaomiao and said with a smile, "I'll take her down for a walk."

After that, go out and go downstairs.

Arriving downstairs, Lin Bai found a place to sit down.

This little girl doesn't cry or fuss, and her big eyes can't stop looking at her, which is quite cute. He just didn't talk much and kept chewing his fingers.

Lin Bai was the best at bullying the weak. In the past, he was very good at bullying Xiu Xiu, and he was even more comfortable bullying this kid.

Taking her fingers out of her little mouth, she switched hands. Lin Bai took it again, and she changed hands again.

Several times like this, Lin Bai simply pinched her face to prevent her from biting her fingers.

The little girl was neither angry nor impatient. She rubbed her fleshy little hands together and then put them into Lin Bai's mouth.

Lin Bai closed his mouth tightly, but she was not discouraged and instead poked Lin Bai's nostrils hard with her finger.

"This guy's perseverance is good material for being an alchemist." Lin Bai secretly approved.

Lin Bai really wanted to accept a disciple, so he wanted to test whether the child was smart.

He held out his finger and asked her what time it was.

She didn't answer at all. After asking several times, she became impatient and turned her head away, as if she was too lazy to speak.

After coaxing him for a long time, it was of no use. Lin Bai no longer had any intention of accepting a disciple. He just thought that he would be able to give guidance when the time came. It would be better not to become a master. It would be worrying and tiring.

After more than half an hour, Zhu Yumao and Zhu Yuling went downstairs.

Zhu Yumao took the child and said with a smile: "I wanted to introduce you to a few friends, but I have to go back quickly. I will come to find you again after a while."

"The days are long, don't be in a hurry." Lin Bai teased the little girl, making her face turn red.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Yumao was going back to his hometown. Lin Bai delivered the elixir, received the spiritual materials, and went back to the cave.

Arriving at the entrance of Jiang's cave property, Lin Bai's heart moved and he looked into the distance.

People were coming and going on the street, and two people were walking side by side. It's Yao Qianyuan and Pei Ning.

"Why don't you feel good in your heart?" Lin Bai stepped forward, first saluted Yao Qianyuan, and then looked at Pei Ning.

We haven't seen her for a long time. She hasn't changed much. She is still very white and her waist is straight. The heroic look between his brows became more heroic, and there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You just came from outside? Are you going to have fun?" Yao Qianyuan didn't have anything nice to say.

"Go do something serious." Lin Bai explained.

Peining frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you smell like milk?"

"I……"

Before Lin Bai had time to explain, Yao Qianyuan vowed: "Junior sister, you don't understand. Some people have strange habits and like people with beads in their eyes."

What is this all about? Lin Bai said seriously: "My friend brought his child here, and I gave him a hug."

Seeing that Yao Qianyuan wanted to say more, Lin Bai quickly took out a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill and offered it to him.

"It's quite sensible." Yao Qianyuan took the money and went to work, "You guys go and have fun. Haha, thunder and fire." She turned around and left, muttering something dirty.

As soon as she left, a smile appeared on Peining's face. He picked up Lin Bai's hand, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Lin Bai's face.

He even opened his robe and took a look inside, regardless of the crowd of people on the street.

"Why is your body a little dark red? Are you a little rough?" Pei Ning was so familiar with Lin Bai that he could detect any slight changes.

"Of course I miss you." Lin Bai said very seriously and shamelessly, "I miss you when I am refining elixirs, and I miss you when I practice. I don't think about food and drink, and I am restless, so much that I am haggard here."

Peining smiled, "Do you miss me, or do you miss my body?"

"Both." Lin Bai said frankly.

Pei Ning's laughter became sweeter. She moved forward, tiptoed to Lin Bai's ear, and whispered, "That's all for you."

Her earlobes were slightly red, and she blew a gentle breath, which was sweet and intoxicating.
