Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Xueyao nodded. "This kind of barrier is usually used to hide some kind of power or protect the items inside. If you can break the barrier, you may get unexpected gains."

Lin Ze's eyes lit up, "Then can you break this barrier?"

Xue Yao shook her head slightly, "I am not strong enough to do that right now. But I know a way I can try."

Xue Yao motioned to Lin Ze to hand her the jade pendant, then she chanted a spell and injected spiritual power into the jade pendant.

A ray of light suddenly flashed from the jade pendant, but then dimmed.

Xue Yao smiled and nodded, and said to Lin Ze, "Okay, now cut your finger and drop the blood on the jade pendant."

Lin Ze believed that Xue Yao would not harm him, so he bit his finger as he was told and dripped blood on the jade pendant.

After the blood dripped onto the jade pendant, it was instantly absorbed. Then, the jade pendant emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire cave.

Xueyao and Lin Ze stared at the jade pendant nervously, only to see the lines on the jade pendant begin to flow and finally form a small portal.

"This is..." Lin Ze said in surprise.

A trace of joy appeared on Xueyao's face. "This is the entrance to the barrier. Let's go in and take a look."

The two walked into the door carefully, and a narrow passage appeared in front of them. Strange lights flickered on both sides of the passage, as if leading to a mysterious world.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao walked forward along the passage, their hearts full of anticipation and curiosity.

As they walked, they suddenly felt a strong aura coming from the front. Lin Ze and Xue Yao were startled and looked ahead vigilantly. They saw a huge door at the end of the passage, which was engraved with complex runes.

Xue Yao stepped forward and observed it carefully, frowning slightly, "This door seems to be sealed with a special formation. It is not easy to open it."

Lin Ze said with a firm look, "No matter what, we have to give it a try." After that, he used his spiritual power to try to push the door open. However, no matter how hard he tried, the door did not move at all.

Xue Yao thought for a moment and suggested, "Maybe we need to find a way to break the formation." So, the two began to look for clues everywhere, and finally found some strange symbols on a stone tablet beside the door.

Xueyao studied these symbols carefully, and gradually she had a clue in her mind. She touched the symbols in a certain order, and saw the light on the formation gradually dissipate.

"Success!" Lin Ze shouted excitedly. The two of them pushed open the door together, and what came into view was a magnificent palace.

There are several acres of medicinal fields scattered in front of the palace, where various magical herbs are planted.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao walked into the palace, and a strong spiritual energy hit them in the face.

"The spiritual energy here is so rich!" Lin Ze exclaimed.

Xue Yao nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "This should be the cave of a certain powerful person. If we can obtain the inheritance inside, our strength will definitely increase greatly."

The two walked towards the interior of the palace and saw many precious magic weapons and elixirs along the way, but they did not take them greedily, but continued to move forward.

Finally, they arrived at the core area of ​​the palace and saw a stone platform. On the stone platform was an ancient book, emitting a faint light.

Xue Yao walked forward, gently picked up the book, opened it and saw that it contained a record of a peerless martial arts technique.

"Is this... the Taixuan Sutra?" Xue Yao's voice trembled with excitement.

Lin Ze leaned over to take a look, and his eyes also showed excitement, "How lucky! I just happened to be lacking a cultivation method!"

The two men felt like they had found a treasure and decided to practice here for a while before leaving this mysterious place.

Lin Ze can practice the Taixuan Sutra, but Xue Yao cannot. She can only practice breathing exercises according to her previous method.

Taixuanjing. It combines internal strength, external strength, lightness and body skills. If you practice it to perfection, you can travel through the universe.

But it is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. If Xue Yao wants to practice it, she must abandon the meridians she has practiced for many years of breathing exercises and start over.

Lin Ze knew the value of this technique, so he immediately sat cross-legged and began to practice according to the instructions in the book. He was immersed in the world of practice, and a faint spiritual light appeared around him.

Time passed, and after an unknown amount of time, Lin Ze finally broke through the first level of the Taixuan Sutra. He opened his eyes and felt the surging power in his body, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

However, when he saw Xue Yao standing beside him, he felt a little worried.

Since Xue Yao was unable to practice the Tai Xuan Sutra, she could only continue to practice using the original method, and her progress was slow.

Lin Ze decided to help Xue Yao. He discussed the way of cultivation with Xue Yao and shared his own insights when practicing Tai Xuan Jing. Under his guidance, Xue Yao's cultivation gradually improved.

One day, when Lin Ze and Xue Yao were practicing, a strong aura suddenly filled the cave. A mysterious shadow slowly emerged, and it turned out to be the owner of the cave.

The master stared at Lin Ze and Xue Yao, with a flash of admiration in his eyes. He said, "It is rare for you to come here and practice the Taixuan Sutra I left behind. In this case, I will grant you an opportunity."

Before he finished speaking, two bright balls of light fell into the hands of Lin Ze and Xue Yao respectively.

The ball of light in Lin Ze's hand contains a more advanced method of practicing the Taixuan Sutra, while the one in Xue Yao's hand is a unique method that suits her.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao were moved to tears of gratitude; they understood that this opportunity would become an important turning point in their spiritual practice.

The shadow stood firmly and accepted their greeting. The ethereal voice once again reached their ears.

"Young man, you are carrying a space. Soon, this space will merge with your space. This can be regarded as a gift from your master to you."

Lin Ze was overjoyed and bowed deeply to the phantom. But at this moment, the phantom shook slightly and disappeared mysteriously.

Lin Ze felt that there was some movement in his space. He knew that this was a sign of merging with the cave space.

He took Xueyao into the space and witnessed this magical scene. The two spaces merged perfectly, becoming more vast and mysterious.

But the towering palace disappeared. Apart from the abundant spiritual energy, there was only a spiritual spring and several acres of medicinal fields planted with spiritual medicines in the space.

It may also be because Lin Ze’s Taixuan Sutra realm is still low, and the area outside the Lingquan medicinal field is filled with fog.

I believe that after his rank is raised, the majestic palace will reappear.

From then on, Lin Ze became the master of this new space. He continued to explore its mysteries and constantly improve his strength.

And this experience has become a precious asset in his and Xueyao's life.

The spiritual energy in this space is much more abundant than that in the outside world, and there is no suppression from the national destiny. Lin Ze practices the Taixuan Sutra at a very fast speed.

Soon he broke through to the second level of Qi Refining.
