Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

After a period of practice, Lin Ze completely absorbed the medicinal power of the immortal grass and his strength improved a lot. One day, he heard that a treasure appeared in a mysterious valley, and masters from all sides were eager to get it. Lin Ze thought this was another good opportunity to improve his strength, so he resolutely went there.

After going through so much hardship, Lin Ze finally arrived at this mysterious valley. What he saw in front of him made him dumbfounded. The entire valley was covered by a thick layer of fog, which rose like a veil, making the area look like a dream, looming. What was even more peculiar was that a mysterious atmosphere was constantly wafting out of the fog, as if it was hiding countless unknown secrets and dangers.

At this time, many figures had already gathered around a huge stone platform in the center of the valley. On the stone platform, a dazzling bead was quietly placed, and the colorful light it emitted was as colorful as a rainbow, making it impossible to look away. Just as people were staring at the bead greedily, secretly thinking about how to take it for themselves, suddenly, the ground around them began to shake violently! Then, a large number of puppets with hideous faces and stiff bodies surged out from all directions. They held all kinds of extremely sharp weapons in their hands and pounced on the crowd mercilessly.

Faced with such a sudden attack, Lin Ze did not dare to be negligent. He dodged the oncoming puppet attack quickly and used the exquisite martial arts moves he had learned to fight against it fiercely. However, due to the large number of puppets and their fierce attack, Lin Ze could not escape for a while. He could only resist the crazy attack of the puppets while secretly observing the situation and looking for the right time to seize the precious orb.

In this thrilling melee, Lin Ze keenly noticed that the actions of these puppets did not seem to be without rules. After careful observation and thinking, he was surprised to find that these puppets were actually restricted by some powerful formation. So, Lin Ze immediately recalled the top-secret formulas and techniques about the formation that he had learned, and then concentrated on finding the key to this formation - the formation eye.

Hard work pays off. After a difficult search, Lin Ze finally found the hidden center of the formation. Without any hesitation, he acted decisively and destroyed the center of the formation with a thunderous force. In an instant, the puppets that were originally lively and ferocious were like puppets that had lost control. They all stopped moving and completely lost their ability to move.

While everyone was still in shock, Lin Ze seized the opportunity, rushed to the stone platform, and grabbed the colorful gem. However, his action caused great dissatisfaction and anger among others. Seeing that the treasure was about to fall into the hands of others, everyone was anxious and shouted at Lin Ze, as if they were going to cut him into pieces.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened! Suddenly, a dazzling auspicious light descended from the clear sky, like a giant golden dragon descending from the sky, and directly wrapped Lin Ze tightly in it. At the same time, the auspicious light seemed to have magical power, constantly flashing a soft and warm light, making people feel an unprecedented sense of tranquility and serenity.

After a while, the light gradually faded away, and everyone was surprised to find that Lin Ze was standing there unharmed, and the orb that was originally in his hand was now blooming with more brilliant light than before. Obviously, the orb had recognized Lin Ze's strength and his noble character, and chose to accompany him. Seeing this scene, the people who had originally wanted to besiege Lin Ze suddenly lost their temper, and looked at each other, not knowing what to do. In the end, they could only shake their heads helplessly and watch Lin Ze slowly leave the valley with the orb.

Lin Ze walked out of the valley with the precious pearl in his arms, knowing that more thrilling and unknown adventures were waiting for him ahead.

Soon after Lin Ze left the valley, he felt the orb getting slightly hot, as if it was sending him some kind of signal. Following the direction indicated by the orb, Lin Ze came to an ancient forest.

In this quiet and deep forest, a light mist shrouds everything like a veil, adding a mysterious and hazy color to the entire forest. This mist seems to be a barrier set by nature, making it difficult for people to peek into the secrets hidden in it.

At this moment, a sudden sound broke the original tranquility of the forest. A huge Kirin with blazing flames suddenly jumped out from behind a thick tree, like a burning lightning, instantly blocking his way. The Kirin was majestic, with flames jumping and flickering on its body, emitting a fiery breath; its eyes were like two dazzling gems, staring at the gem in his hand with piercing eyes, and from time to time it emitted a low and shocking roar from its throat, as if it was full of desire and possessiveness for the gem.

Faced with this sudden situation, Lin Ze subconsciously tightly grasped the orb in his hand, and a trace of tension and vigilance surged in his heart. He stared sharply at the aggressive Qilin in front of him, not daring to relax at all. However, surprisingly, the Qilin did not immediately launch a fierce attack on him, but instead slowly circled around him. As the Qilin turned, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred and trembled slightly.

Lin Ze remained alert and carefully observed the Qilin's actions. Gradually, he began to realize that the Qilin might not have any bad intentions, but was simply attracted by the powerful power contained in the orb. So he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and tried to communicate with the Qilin.

"I will not use this pearl to do anything bad, please believe me." Lin Ze mustered up the courage to speak to Qilin. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by Qilin.

Miraculously, the Qilin seemed to really understand his words, and the strong hostility in its eyes gradually dissipated. However, it still had no intention of leaving, and still stood quietly in the same place, staring at Lin Ze and the orb in his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Ze thought of a solution. He carefully mobilized the spiritual power in his body, injected it into the orb, and then controlled the orb to release a very gentle energy fluctuation.
