The Wheel-Turning Master

Chapter 78 Encounter on the Road

One mountain, two mountains. The mountains are far away, the sky is high, and the water is cold.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning are both cautious, and they are new here, so they dare not drive the purple bamboo boat, and only walk in the mountains.

According to Song and Zhang, some sects have many rules, and flying over the sects is not allowed, and even flying boats are prohibited within a few miles around the sects.

Of course, it is mainly for low-level cultivators and outsiders.

Lin Bai holds a tattered map with the words "East Sea Region" on it.

This map was given by Sister Zhen. It depicts the geography of mountains and rivers, and also marks the locations of Yuanying and Jindan sects. But the sects and families below Jindan are not mentioned at all.

Too simple, lacking in subtlety.

But it is better to have it than not. Sister Zhen also said that it is meaningless to mark small sects and small families, because they are difficult to survive, and will disappear in the world after a little storm, or be swallowed up by other families.

The East China Sea is very vast, not only including Yunxia Sect and Jiuyin Mountain, but also Qiaoshan where Lin Bai and Pei Ning are located.

Qiaoshan is both a mountain name and a place name, stretching for thousands of miles.

It is said that in ancient times, the spiritual energy of Qiaoshan was thin, and then a great man fell here and was nourished by his flesh and blood. Since then, the land full of spiritual energy has been scattered all over the place, and monks have gathered, and the population has also prospered.

According to Sister Zhen, this place is a good place. Although there are many sects, there is Qiaoshan Sect to suppress it, so it is orderly and there are few fights.

This is also the reason why Sister Zhen left Lin Bai and Pei Ning here. The two have too low cultivation, so they need to find a peaceful place to quietly improve their cultivation before they can talk about other things.

Moreover, Qiaoshan is on the seashore, with Jiuyin Mountain across the sea in the northeast and Yunxia Sect across the sea in the southeast. The three sects communicate with each other, mostly in Qiaoshan territory, so the business is prosperous.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning are also very satisfied with this place. First, it is safe, and second, it is to be able to find out the news of Yunxia Sect at any time.

In addition, what needs to be considered is money, friends, magic and land.

Of course, there is not much money. The two of them have few spiritual stones left. There are just over a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and only three medium-grade spiritual stones, all of which are taken from Song Qing.

As for the elixir, most of them are used to restore qi and replenish blood, as well as food for the heart-building ants. The most valuable is the Huayuan Pill found in Song Qing's storage ring. There are only five pills, which can only be used in the foundation-building period. I heard from Song and Zhang that this thing is a specialty of Yunxia Sect and is expensive.

There are also talismans obtained from Song Qing, including cleansing talismans, which can cleanse oneself and clothes; there are also wind-repelling talismans, which are used for light travel; and there are also water-drawing talismans, which are used in conjunction with Song Qing's life. In addition, there are a small number of life-giving talismans and heavy earth talismans, which are all used before the battle.

Finally, there are the purple bamboo boat and the heart-building ants, which are both valuable.

As for the magic weapon, neither of them has any, and the sword is still an iron sword made by ordinary people.

After that, there is the companion, which means fellow practitioners, who communicate and inspire each other.

The two had just come here and had no fellow practitioners.

Then there is the method. They both practiced the Ruyi Jingxin Jue, which is a common method. All casual practitioners and cultivators with poor qualifications rely on it to get started.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning don’t have to worry about the method for the time being, as the Ruyi Jingxin Jue can be practiced to the foundation building stage.

Finally, there is the land, which is the place for cultivation. It needs to be peaceful, safe, and rich in spiritual energy.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning have drifted across the sea and experienced life and death. Their opinions are surprisingly consistent: be honest and never cause trouble, listen more, watch more, and talk less, and focus on improving the realm.

Of course, Lin Bai wants more. He also wants to learn more with the power of the stone plate.

Like refining pills, making talismans, refining tools, etc., anyway, more skills are better than less.

It is always good to learn more things, and there will be more choices in the future.

Therefore, Lin Bai and Pei Ning discussed and went to the place where cultivators gathered to see the world.

When you are new here, you should ask about the customs first, so as not to cause trouble without knowing it. Although I have heard a lot from Song and Zhang, I still have to see it with my own eyes.

"We need to ask if there are any amulets or something like that here." Lin Bai said to Pei Ning.

"Amulet? What is that?" Pei Ning asked curiously.

"It's about who is kind, who is vicious, and who can't be offended." Lin Bai explained.

"Hehe, isn't it just a talisman to protect officials?" Pei Ning laughed happily, "Who is bigger than your talisman?"

Since Sister Zhen left, Pei Ning has not had any problems with Lin Bai. The two still trust each other as always, but she will be weird from time to time.

Lin Bai explained a few words at first, but later, seeing that she didn't believe him, he pretended not to hear the weirdness in her words.

In fact, Lin Bai was very angry. He and Pei Ning knew each other well, and they had lived and died together many times, and their friendship was very deep. It was a natural thing for the two of them to be together, and they only needed an opportunity to sleep together!

But they were provoked by the great Jindan!

If it was something else, it would be fine, Pei Ning would naturally trust Lin Bai more. But Pei Ning didn't believe Lin Bai a hundred times about this matter in his pants.

He was just short of revealing his heart and taking off his pants to prove it!

The two of them walked in the mountains and forests for a few days, and did not see any ferocious beasts, but they passed through many ordinary villages.

There were many centenarians, and they were not unfamiliar with cultivators. When they met them on the road, they would bow and salute, neither humble nor arrogant.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning had communicated with them, and most of these villages had followers, either belonging to a certain clan or a certain sect.

Most of them were managed by the ordinary descendants of cultivators.

The two of them walked for three or five days, and they could see cultivators flying overhead from time to time, but they were very timid and did not dare to say hello or stare at them.

After walking for another three days, before we got down the mountain, we saw a secular town at the foot of the mountain. After that, there was a mountain with smoke and smoke, and cranes and birds were flying around in it, which looked like a fairyland.

Looking for it on the map, there is no mark on which sect this place belongs to.

However, seeing that the town below the mountain is prosperous and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, Lin Bai and Pei Ning know that the sect should be doing well.

At least, as long as the two do not cause trouble, there will be no big problem.

After going down the mountain, they saw a market in front of the town. The ordinary people passing by took a look at the storage rings in the hands of Lin and Pei, and knew that the two had entered the practice. Some people saluted, and some people just smiled slightly, without any flattery.

Seeing the heavy fireworks, Lin Bai wanted to eat something.

During the Qi training period, he could not practice fasting, but he ate less every day.

Seeing a stall in front, a vendor was frying sweet cakes in a wok.

Lin Bai could not help but think of Xiuxiu's love of sweet food, so he went forward to ask the price.

The vendor was not afraid of strangers. After quoting the price, he boasted.

It turned out that the thing he was selling was called Sugar Balls, which was a famous delicacy in Qiaoshan.

The method was not difficult. Pick the sweet flowers on the mountain, chop them up, squeeze the juice, mix them with flour, and roll them into circles when they are soft, leaving a small hole in the middle, and fry them in a pan.

The taste was sweet and crispy, suitable for all ages. Because the sugar balls were like cakes with holes in the middle, they were also called sugar circles.

And because sweet flowers were needed to make this thing, it was also called donuts.

The vendor was very talkative, and said that there was a Jindan ancestor who visited incognito and liked this thing the most. It was also said that the Yuanying ancestor fled here and was so hungry that he ate hundreds of them in one breath.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning naturally didn't believe it, but they didn't argue, just smiled.

Just as they were waiting for the sugar balls to come out of the frying pan, they saw a man running quickly from a distance. He stopped in front of the stall, nodded slightly to Lin Bai and Pei Ning, and said, "This is the famous sugar balls in Qiaoshan, right? We finally came to Qiaoshan! Bring five to try! I'm starving!"

The man was in his thirties, in the early stage of Qi training, and looked tired and haggard, obviously he had worked hard all the way.

Lin Bai was thick-skinned and always friendly, so he started a conversation with him.

The man was also very talkative. He said his surname was Wang and that he came all the way from his hometown.

As for where his home was, he didn't say it clearly.

He only said that he used to do some small business in his hometown, but he lost money due to bad luck, and his Taoist partner also ran away with someone, so he came to Qiaoshan to make some money.

Lin Bai saw that he was talkative, so he asked him what he did for a living, but the man was vague and just said that he had bad luck.

The man didn't want to talk much, so Lin Bai naturally understood, and asked him how much he knew about Qiaoshan.

The man surnamed Wang got excited when he heard this. He praised Qiaoshan endlessly, saying that there were spiritual stones everywhere and opportunities all the time. Anyway, everything was good and there was nothing bad about it.

After talking for a while, the sugar balls were fried. The vendor wrapped them in paper and gave them to Lin Bai first, and then to the man surnamed Wang.

In the secular world, people don't use spiritual stones for transactions, but gold and silver.

After paying the bill, Lin Bai and Pei Ning walked forward, and the man followed.

Lin Bai didn't take it seriously and let Pei Ning eat first, but she just shook her head. Lin Bai took a bite of the sugar ball, which was so sweet that it made him sick.

The man surnamed Wang was very happy. He came to Lin Bai and whispered, "The common people in Qiaoshan are so generous. I only wanted five, but he gave me six! Qiaoshan is really a good place! If I had come earlier, I would have made a fortune!" He looked like he had made a fortune.

Lin Bai didn't know how to start for a moment, because it was written on the stall that buy five get one free.

The man surnamed Wang didn't even look at Lin Bai. He took a big bite of the sugar ball. After chewing it, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, "The donuts are so delicious! Hahahaha! Hiccup~"
