Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

After Lin Ze's unremitting efforts, the mysterious energy finally gradually merged into the herbs, and the fluctuations in the crucible began to gradually stabilize. He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

However, just as he was about to celebrate, suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the crucible, shooting straight into the sky like the sun. Lin Ze was stunned by the scene before him, his eyes fixed on the light, his heart full of doubts and expectations.

As the light slowly dissipated, a pill emitting a strong medicinal fragrance appeared in front of him. Lin Ze carefully held the pill in his palm, feeling the powerful medicinal power contained in it. He knew that he had succeeded! This refining was not only a breakthrough, but also a rare adventure.

He decided to keep this extremely precious pill well, because he knew that one day in the future, it might be of greater use.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. The sound was as fierce as a storm, which made people tremble with fear. Lin Ze's heart was shocked, and the pill in his hand almost slipped. He quickly grasped the pill tightly in his palm, quickly put it in his arms, then walked quickly to the door and opened it carefully.

A strange old man was standing at the door, his face was as pale as paper, without any blood, and his eyes revealed an indescribable eagerness and desire.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Lin Ze frowned slightly, looked at the uninvited guest in front of him with confusion, and asked.

"I heard that you have refined a magical elixir, so I came here to buy it." The old man went straight to the point and stated his purpose directly.

Lin Ze immediately became alert. He knew very well how precious this pill was and he must not give it to anyone easily.

"I'm sorry, I spent a lot of effort to refine this pill and I will never sell it." Lin Ze refused without hesitation, his tone firm and resolute.

The old man frowned slightly, his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "I am willing to pay a high price to buy it, as long as you name a price."

Lin Ze sneered and said disdainfully: "No matter how much you offer, I won't sell it to you."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he sneered: "In that case, don't blame me for being rude." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked Lin Ze.

Lin Ze dodged sideways with lightning speed. At the same time, he circulated the spiritual power in his body and instantly performed a set of extremely fierce boxing techniques.

This set of boxing techniques was like a violent storm, with unparalleled power, and it blasted towards the old man fiercely.

The old man's expression changed slightly, and he dodged Lin Ze's attack easily. The long sword in his hand danced, turning into a cold light, sweeping towards Lin Ze.

Lin Ze was startled and quickly used his skills to dodge the old man's attack. The two of them fought back and forth, neither of them giving in, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner for a while.

The old man's strength was extremely terrifying, and each of his moves contained enormous power, which made Lin Ze feel doubled the pressure.

As time went by, Lin Ze gradually lost the upper hand. He secretly complained in his heart that if he continued to fight like this, he might be in danger.

Lin Ze's eyes focused, and he made up his mind to use his ultimate move and fight back in desperation!

He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something, and mysterious runes flashed around him. As his incantations became louder and louder, a powerful aura emerged from him.

The old man felt this breath, his face changed drastically, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. But he did not retreat, but tried his best to resist this powerful force.

However, Lin Ze's move was too powerful, and the old man could not resist it no matter how hard he tried. With a loud bang, the old man's body was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Ze took advantage of the old man's injury and quickly turned around and left, disappearing into the night. He knew very well that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. Although he escaped by luck this time, he would definitely encounter more troubles in the future.

Lin Ze secretly warned himself that he must work harder to practice and improve his strength in order to deal with possible crises in the future.

Lin Ze fled the scene like a frightened bird, hiding in a remote cave in a panic, gasping for breath. He realized that after the thrilling battle just now, his true identity might have been completely exposed. Now, he must be more cautious than ever to avoid bringing more risks to himself and the people around him.

In the following long years, Lin Ze was like a wounded beast, silently licking his wounds, practicing hard, and honing his strength day and night. He knew that only by becoming stronger could he protect everything he cherished. At the same time, he also secretly began to investigate the mystery of the mysterious old man's life experience.

Time flies, and the stars change. With day after day of hard work, Lin Ze's strength grows day by day. As time goes by, some clues about the mysterious old man gradually surface. These clues are like pieces of a puzzle, pieced together the background outline of this mysterious figure bit by bit.

On a sunny day, Lin Ze came to an ancient and mysterious ruins.

This ruins is rich in history and filled with countless mysteries and treasures waiting to be explored.

When Lin Ze stepped in, he felt a powerful aura, as if there was endless power hidden here.

Deep in the ruins, Lin Ze accidentally discovered an incomplete ancient book.

This ancient book has been eroded beyond recognition by time, but it still exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Lin Ze carefully opened the ancient book, only to see some unclear words recorded on it, which seemed to be related to a mysterious martial art.

Although the texts were incomplete, Lin Ze, with his extraordinary comprehension and love for martial arts, actually comprehended a set of profound sword techniques from them.

This set of sword techniques is as bright as stars and as powerful as thunder, which is amazing.

Lin Ze began to practice this sword technique, and as time went by, he gradually mastered its essence.

This set of swordsmanship is not only incredibly powerful, but also contains some kind of strange energy that can enhance his strength again.

With the help of swordsmanship, Lin Ze's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he felt that he could already compete with those top masters.

So, he decided to take the initiative to find the mysterious old man and solve the doubts in his heart.

After some investigation and tracking, Lin Ze finally found the hiding place of the mysterious old man.

It was a remote valley, surrounded by towering mountains. The valley was filled with thick fog, giving people an eerie and terrifying feeling.

Lin Ze walked into the valley without hesitation, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and vigilantly observing the movements around him.

Suddenly, a sharp sword energy attacked from the front. Lin Ze dodged sideways, but found an old man in black appeared in front of him.

"Boy, you are finally here!" The old man in black sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
