Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze and Xue Yao began to study these treasures, trying to find out their secrets.

Xue Yao successfully used the ruby ​​necklace to transform, so she naturally knew that it belonged to the category of spiritual stone.

After some experimentation, they discovered that the orb could emit bright light.

"Maybe this gem can be used as a magical weapon." Lin Ze speculated.

Xueyao nodded, and then she concentrated her mind, chanted a spell, and injected her magic power into the necklace. In an instant, the necklace shone with a strange light, and the air around it began to flow.

"Success!" Xueyao shouted excitedly.

Then, they tested the blue bead. When Lin Ze injected his spiritual power into the bead, it suddenly became hot, and then floated in the air, slowly rotating.

"This bead seems to be able to store and amplify spiritual power." Lin Ze said in surprise.

The two looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Lin Ze put both treasures into Xue Yao's hands and said, "I'll give them to you for safekeeping."

Xue Yao carefully put the treasure away. She looked at Lin Ze gratefully, "Thank you, Lin Ze."

Lin Ze smiled and shook his head, "Given our relationship, there's no need to be so polite."

"Next, let's take a look at these pieces of jade." Lin Ze picked up a jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

Xueyao came closer, her eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Ze injected spiritual power into the jade pendant, and saw that the jade pendant emitted a faint light, but there was no other special reaction.

"It seems that these three jade pendants are nothing special." Lin Ze said with some disappointment.

Xue Yao didn't think so. She took the jade pendant, stroked it gently, and felt the patterns on it.

"Maybe it has functions that we haven't discovered yet." Xue Yao pondered.

Lin Ze nodded, "That makes sense, let's keep it for now, maybe it will come in handy in the future."

The two decided to put aside their research on the treasure for the time being. After all, there were still many unknowns waiting for them to explore.

"Xueyao, let's go out for a walk." Lin Ze suggested. He wanted to take Xueyao to see the outside world.

Xueyao shook her head, even though she was full of curiosity about the outside world.

"After I go out, I will quickly regain my fox form. After I come back in, I will need to consume the spiritual energy in the spirit stone to transform again."

"That's true, let's just forget about it..."

Lin Ze really wanted to take Xue Yao out of the space and introduce her to his parents and family, but it was a pity that Xue Yao’s transformation would soon become ineffective without the protection of the space.

Lin Ze decided to think of more ways. He must find a way to let Xueyao walk freely in the outside world.

As the end of the year approaches, Lin Ze can only calm down, even if the roads are blocked by heavy snow in the Shiwanda Mountains when he returns to his grandfather's home.

Not to mention looking for jade or gems, even hunting is a difficult task.

Lin Ze stayed at his grandfather's house for two days. His grandfather was very happy drinking the Du Kang wine that Lin Ze brought him.

Liu Ying also liked the cakes and pastries that Lin Ze brought, but she couldn't bear to eat them herself, so most of them went into Lin Wen and Lin Wu's internal organs.

"Brother Ze, I haven't seen Baituan for a long time. I wonder if it is doing well in the mountains." Lin Wen sat on the stone block in front of his grandmother's house, looking leisurely at Dongshan.

Lin Wu stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, reluctant to clap his hands, and licked the broken cake crumbs on his hands with his tongue. Then he said, "The whole mountain is its home. Now that it's home, do you think it's living well?"

Lin Ze patted Lin Wen on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, Bai Tuan is so smart, he must be doing well. Besides, there are so many of his friends on the mountain, he won't be lonely."

At this time, grandma came out and asked everyone to come in for dinner. At the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing, and they were having a great time. Lin Ze felt very warm in his heart as he looked at the happy family.

After dinner, Lin Ze came to the yard, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He thought of Xue Yao, wondering how she was doing in the space.

Lin Ze greeted Mr. Lin and walked towards Dongshan. This time he went up the mountain not for hunting.

Instead, he went into the space to see Xueyao.

Xueyao stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking leisurely at the acres of land not far from the villa.

She lived here for several days and gradually discovered the magic of those acres of land.

The first plot of land is planted with various precious medicinal herbs, including a three or four hundred year old ginseng that is still growing by one year every day.

Other ordinary food crops basically harvest once a day, but if Lin Ze does not harvest these crops, they will remain the same until Lin Ze harvests them and plants new crops, then they will begin to change.

This space was very similar to the paradise owned by immortals that she had heard of thousands of years ago.

Lin Ze walked into the space and saw Xue Yao standing on the balcony, so he walked over quickly. "What are you thinking about?" Lin Ze asked softly.

Xueyao turned her head and a faint smile appeared on her face. "I was thinking that this space is really magical. There are so many wonderful things."

Lin Ze walked up to her and looked at the acres of land with her. "Yes, but we still have a lot of unknown places to explore. By the way, I thought of a way that might allow you to move freely in the outside world."

Xueyao's eyes lit up, "What method?"

"I plan to find a magic weapon that can conceal your breath so that you can maintain your human form in the outside world." Lin Ze said in a firm tone.

Xueyao's heart was filled with hope, "Really? That's great!"

Lin Ze looked at Xueyao's happy expression and was also filled with joy. "I will try my best to find her. I believe there will be results soon."

The first thing Lin Ze thought of was naturally the cave where he killed the python and where he found the first gem, but he did not explore the cave carefully at that time.

It can be said that he left in a hurry.

This time, for Xueyao, he had to investigate thoroughly no matter what.

After bidding farewell to Xue Yao, Lin Ze headed towards Nanshan. The cave at the foot of Nanshan, which he had once hidden with dead branches and leaves, was now covered with heavy snow and was really hard to identify.

Lin Ze searched carefully for a long time before he found the cave next to a tall maple tree.

Once again entering the cave, the huge python was reduced to just a skeleton.

There is a soybean-sized ball on the python's head, emitting a faint green light.

"what is this?"

Lin Ze picked up the ball and entered the space with the ball.

"Xueyao, let me show you something."

Lin Ze handed the ball to Xue Yao as if he was presenting a treasure. Xue Yao did not take it. She stared at the ball intently and asked in surprise, "...Demon Pill?"

"Lin Ze, where did you get the demon pill? Did you fight outside?"

"No, I killed a big snake a long time ago, and I just picked it up from its skeleton."
