The Wheel-Turning Master

Xinyifang is quite impressive.

No tokens are required to enter the market, and no name or surname is required to be registered.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning also got a bill at the entrance of Fangshi. On the front was the layout of Fangshi, and on the back were several laws and regulations.

For example, fighting and swearing are not allowed, and bullying of the small by the big is not allowed. If you encounter a forced purchase or sale, look for patrolling guards armed with five-color sticks to administer justice; if you want to open a shop, what do you need to prepare?

Entering Xinyi Square, you will see many monks. Most of them are practicing Qi and building foundations, but there is no golden elixir.

Both of them were very novel, and they were not in a hurry to find a place to live, so they went to walk around first.

Monks have five skills: weapon refining, talisman making, elixir refining, array formation, and planting. As for taming spiritual beasts, it's a little off the beaten track.

Xinyi Square has everything you need, whether it is finished products or materials, they are all operated in stores.

What's more, as long as there are enough spiritual stones, you can also ask Foundation Establishment to do the work.

Since there were not many spiritual stones, Lin Bai and Pei Ning only shopped around but did not buy any.

But Lin Bai was thick-skinned after all. Whenever he liked something, he would ask how to make it, where the materials came from, and what the price was. After asking, if someone asked if he wanted to buy it, Lin Bai would just go and have a look in front.

Most of the knowledgeable customers in this Xinyi Square shop are in the Qi-training realm, and their behavior is different from that of ordinary errand boys and waiters. They are not flattering to the guests. Instead, most of them are polite and neither humble nor overbearing.

Of course, there are also those who are humble, but they are very few.

After searching for three days, apart from eating, Lin Bai finally bought a pearl hairpin for Pei Ning, and he never got half a spiritual stone.

The beaded hairpin is just made of a slightly spiritual object, and has no merit other than being more beautiful.

"Follow Lin Zhuanlun and you'll starve for nine meals in three days." Pei Ning said in disgust, but he turned around and said, "Put it on for me." His tone was very indifferent.

People were coming and going on the streets of Fangshi, but Lin Bai didn't care, he just obeyed and did as he was told.

Pei Ning reached out and touched it, her face turned a little red, whether from shame or heat, but the smile on her face never faded, with a girlish look in her gentleness.

She didn't say anything, just glanced at the hosta Lin Bai was wearing.

The two continued to wander and came to Fang Shinan.

The west and south sides of Xinyi Square are mostly cheap shops, and they are engaged in casual repair business.

The things sold in the middle of the market are more expensive, naturally better, and there are the most people. There are fewer people in the east and north, but the business is not bad, because they mainly deal with the business of sect disciples and foundation-building casual cultivators.

The two of them walked around Xinyi Square twice. Lin Bai and Pei Ning were very satisfied and decided to settle down temporarily.

Although Xinyi Fang is a bit crowded, it still has a peaceful place to practice, but it only requires renting.

Cultivation is not just about practicing hard in isolation. You need to see people all the time, communicate with people, inspire each other, and understand foreign affairs at the same time.

Most of the poor casual cultivators live in the south of Fang City. This is the property of the Jiang family of the Jindan family, and the aura is enough for Qi practitioners to practice.

Although places with many casual cultivators tend to have a lot of things to do, this place still belongs to Xinyi Square after all, so there is no need to worry about life and death.

"Xian couple, please see, this is a double cave specially opened by our Jiang family. It can be separated in the middle, so that each other's practice will not be disturbed. If necessary, hehe, it can be opened at any time."

A little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old who practiced Qi from the Jiang family, wearing a well-fitting Taoist robe, explained to Lin Bai and Pei Ning with great interest.

This girl has reached the fifth level of qi training. She is obviously promising to build a foundation, but she goes out to do business.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were already used to it. The surrounding Jindan sects and families often sent some Qi practitioners who encountered bottlenecks to Xinyi Square to practice.

The main thing is to meet new people, gain exposure to the world, broaden your horizons, and help you break through barriers.

Of course, there are pros and cons. These people have seen many casual cultivators, and it is inevitable that they will be infected with the bad temper and temperament of casual cultivators.

This little qi-training girl from the Jiang family is very talkative, and she strongly recommends the two-person cave house to Lin Bai and Pei Ning.

Of course, this is more expensive than a single one.

Pei Ning and Lin Bai are both poor people, and they don't have many spiritual stones, so they naturally need to plan carefully.

"Sister, come here." The little girl was very clever. Seeing that Pei Ning looked like a master, she pulled Pei Ning's sleeve and stayed away from Lin Bai to speak.

"Sister, the cave just now is the most suitable for virtuous couples!" The little girl from the Jiang family was very serious, counting the benefits on her fingers, "Sister, can you rest assured that your Taoist companion will live alone in a cave? Besides, we are young. , if you live in one place, you will be in trouble at any time while practicing, and the cave will be full of chaos. Moreover, the caves in my house are far apart, and there is a soundproof array. No matter how loud you scream, outsiders can't hear it. Xiaoyao. It’s so tight!”

Peining looked at this girl and always felt a little strange.

"By the way, sister," the girl lowered her voice, "My family also has a magical method of dual cultivation passed down from our ancestors. It is most useful for Qi training monks, and it can also bring harmony and tacit understanding between husband and wife. It is extremely rare! Do you want it?"

Pei Ning felt it was outrageous, but she couldn't help but think about it. She pressed the hairpin on her head, looked back at Lin Bai, and asked in a low voice: "How much is it worth?"

The ginger girl stretched out three fingers.

"Three spirit stones? So cheap?" Peining was shocked.

"They are three middle-grade spiritual stones." Jiang Yatou was very proud, "It was passed down from my ancestors! I think my sister also likes it. If you want it, I will give you two medium-grade spiritual stones! But you You can’t tell anyone else, let alone resell it!”

"It's natural." Peining whispered and shook his head, "It's just my sister, I won't take advantage of you now."

"That's fine. Come to me when you have enough!" The little Qi-training girl from the Jiang family patted her chest, looking honest and sincere. She also reminded: "Sister, you have to take good care of your Taoist partner. The spirit stones must be in your hands. If he goes wild outside and eats fishy things, you will have no place to cry!"

"I save it." Pei Ning nodded, thinking that if he dares to go wild, I dare to castrate him.

"Then the cave house is settled!" The girl from the Jiang family smiled happily, "My Jiang family is the most fair, and the price is easy to negotiate. If you pay a deposit for one year, I will make the decision and give you one month for free. If you pay for ten years, I will give you one year for free!"

She was just talking, when suddenly a Qi-training casual cultivator ran in and knocked on the door of a cave house.

"Old Xu, come out! The four major Jindan sects are recruiting new members! They also accept independent practitioners!"

The cave door opened, and a twenty-year-old Qigong practitioner walked out, his face full of excitement and doubt, "Are you serious?"

"I'll lie to you!"

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!" The young Qigong practitioner closed the cave door and pulled his friend to the street.

Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai in confusion, and Lin Bai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The four major Jindan sects usually refer to the four sects around Xinyifang. Back then, Xinyifang was led by Qiaoshan Sect, which pulled the four major sects and several Jindan families to establish it.

Therefore, independent practitioners in Xinyifang all know the four major Jindan sects.

And these four Jindan sects rarely recruit new members from outside, and often first select the descendants of their own disciples. If there are not enough, they will select from outside.

In other words, after these sects gradually grow, they will first divide the fruits among their own people.

Lin Bai walked up to Pei Ning and asked the girl from the Jiang family, "Little Daoist Jiang, is it true that the four major Jindan sects are recruiting new members?"

"Who knows? I haven't heard from my family!" The girl from the Jiang family shook her head, as if she really didn't know.

"It's okay anyway, let's go and take a look." Lin Bai just thought of it as joining in the fun, anyway, Xinyifang is very safe.

"Okay." Pei Ning has been very obedient since Lin Bai bought her a pearl hairpin, and she is no longer sarcastic.

"It's not too late to pay the deposit first!" The girl from the Jiang family said in a panic.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Lin Bai pulled Pei Ning and immediately walked towards the market.

"Don't!" The girl from the Jiang family looked at Lin Bai and Pei Ning walking away, her face was extremely sad, "I've worn my lips out!" She stamped her feet in anger.

When they arrived at the downtown area of ​​the market, they saw that people on the street were discussing this.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning went to the square in the middle of the market, and they saw a notice posted that the four major Jindan sects were recruiting new members.

However, there are conditions. They must be casual Qi cultivators under the age of 20, regardless of gender. If the aptitude is good, the conditions can be relaxed appropriately.

Of course, you still have to go through an interview to determine whether you are qualified.

In other words, if there is no clear entry condition, the statement of the sect will prevail.

But even so, the casual cultivators present have already cheered wildly.

Lin Bai doesn't like constraints, and he has his own secrets, so he has no intention of joining the sect.

Pei Ning was a little tempted. Her natal sword tomb was destined to follow the path of sword cultivation and killing. If she wants to improve, she needs to understand the sword and practice the corresponding method.

Among the four major Jindan sects, there is the Tianchi Sect, which is located in Tianchi Mountain west of Xinyifang.

There is a high peak on Tianchi Mountain, with a lake like Tianchi on it, so it is called Tianchi Mountain.

The Tianchi Sect got its name from this. Moreover, the Tianchi Sect started as a sword cultivator, and its Jindan Sect Master is a sword cultivator, and his disciples also have many industries in Xinyifang.

Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai and asked for his opinion.

Lin Bai naturally hoped for her well. Although he also wanted to stay with her day and night, he couldn't block her path to the great road.

Both of them were not stupid. They knew that if they wanted to stay together for a long time, they had to open up the great road.

And even if she entered Tianchi Mountain, they could go down the mountain to meet from time to time.

The two avoided the crowd and discussed for a while, and felt that it was feasible.

And there were many benefits. One of them was in the sect, and the other was in the grass, so they could take care of each other. Even more, they could cooperate with each other to do some dirty work.

Of course, this is all later.

After the discussion, the two followed the notice and left Xinyifang and headed west to the mountain gate of Tianchi Sect.

There were many casual cultivators along the way, almost two or three thousand people. After walking for dozens of miles, about a thousand people went to Huaqing Sect, and the rest still went to Tianchi Sect.

The Huaqing Sect was good at refining weapons and formations, and most casual cultivators admired strength, so they were more inclined to Tianchi Sect.

When they arrived at the foot of the Tianchi Sect, the crowd was even more bustling. The disciples of Tianchi Sect wearing standard Taoist robes caught a few of the loudest ones and directly deprived them of their entry qualifications, which calmed down the thousands of people.

The casual cultivators lined up honestly, registered their identities one by one, and then were led by the disciples of Tianchi Sect to a courtyard for inspection.

According to the Tianchi Sect, this was to check their fate and age, and ask some questions, which was for inquiry.

Pei Ning registered her identity, received a bamboo card, and then came to find Lin Bai again.

She looked a little bad, and I don’t know what she was struggling with.

"What’s wrong with you?" Lin Bai advised, "Later, the senior who built the foundation will definitely check your fate, and will also ask questions to test your character, you must not panic."

Pei Ning nodded, but didn’t say anything.

Lin Bai knew that she was usually the most stable, but what she was thinking at this moment, he didn’t know.

After waiting for a few hours, a disciple of Tianchi Sect called Pei Ning’s name.

"Actually, I don't really want to go. I'm worried about you being out there alone." Pei Ning took a deep breath and whispered.

"Can I be bullied?" Lin Bai laughed.

"It's not that I'm afraid that you will be bullied, I'm afraid that you... humph." Pei Ning glared at Lin Bai, and then followed the disciples of Tianchi Sect into the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Entered the courtyard and entered the main hall.

Two foundation-building monks sat side by side at the table, a man and a woman, both of whom were quite young.

There was a cauldron of incense burner on the table. The smoke was curling up, but there was no smell.

Pei Ning first leaned forward to salute, and then said: "Pei Ning, a casual cultivator on a deserted island overseas, has met two seniors."

The desert island is an archipelago not far from Jiuyin Mountain. The environment there is quite harsh, so many people come to Qiaoshan to make a living, so it is not easy to check the authenticity.

This is also what Lin Bai and Peining agreed upon.

"Come forward." The old monk said indifferently.

"Yes." Peining walked forward with his head lowered, and bowed again.

The old monk held the bronze mirror in his left hand and pointed it at Peining with his right hand. Then he glanced at the old female cultivator beside him and nodded slowly.

"My birth name is the Unknown Sword Tomb, Five Spiritual Apertures. I am a little older, so I can barely be considered good."

The old monk stroked his beard and asked in a tone of emotionless tone: "Cultivation of Ruyi Jingxin Jue?"

"Yes." Peining replied honestly.

This is nothing, many casual practitioners practice Ruyi Jingxin Jue. Even the less qualified disciples in some sects also practice the same practice.

"Have you ever killed anyone?" the old cultivator asked again.

Pei Ning was startled, thinking about the behavior of these righteous sects, and when she was wondering what would happen if she was caught lying, her mind suddenly went blank, and a thought came to her mind: tell the truth!

She blurted out: "Killed."

After the words came out of his mouth, Pei Ning was stunned for a moment, looked at the incense burner on the table, and guessed that it must be because of the burning incense, and then said the truth.

"Are they killing ordinary people or monks?" the old monk asked again.

"Killed them all." Pei Ning replied.

"What is the realm of the monk who killed him? Did he kill himself alone or in conjunction with others?" the old foundation-building monk continued to ask.

"Killed the foundation-building monk. He was seriously injured. I joined forces with my friends." Peining said.

The old monk waved his hand and signaled to leave.

After Pei Ning left, the male foundation-building cultivator smiled helplessly and said: "A desperado, a casual cultivator in his true colors."

"The destiny is good, and it suits my Tianchi Sect Sword Cultivator." The female cultivator also smiled helplessly and said: "But if it were in the past, with the style of our Tianchi Sect, even the Sword Cultivator would never accept such a desperado. of."

"That's right." The old male foundation-building cultivator sighed, "What can we do? If the higher-ups want people like this, let's just accept them. Anyway, if something goes wrong in the future, you and I can't be blamed."

"That thing can't be true, right?" The old female monk frowned.

"Who knows? You'll know in a few years without asking." The foundation-building male cultivator shook his head.
