"Haha, the Kunpeng relic is really as the girl said, it is of great help to me!" Lin Mo calmed down and moved towards a higher level of cultivation with full confidence.
Lin Mo gradually saw the old man's past clearly from the memory of Hongyun's remnant soul.
It turns out that Hongyun used to be a great master of the Tianpeng tribe, who created the Jingzhe Art, a magical power of transformation. Later, the backlash from taking Kunpeng's true blood was so severe that he fell into endless hallucinations and eventually went mad and died.
"So that's it, this Hongyun is also a victim of Kunpeng's true blood..." A trace of doubt arose in Lin Mo's heart, but thinking that he had obtained the Jingzhe Jue, he gave up the idea of returning it.
Lin Mo arrived at the trading hall and was about to enter when he suddenly heard the sound of an argument coming from inside. When he looked around, he saw that besides himself, there were two young men and a big man in black armor standing in the hall.
"You...are also here to participate in this transaction?" the big man in black armor frowned.
The middle-aged young man smiled, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "It seems that we are not the only business here."
"It seems so." Lin Mo responded lightly, but secretly thinking about the strangeness in this.
The big man in black robe said bluntly: "Shopkeeper, how could you allow so many people to trade here? This is not a rule."
"I didn't hear there would be anyone else." The big man turned his eyes to the shop owner, "What does this mean?"
The shop owner looked a little embarrassed and explained: "This is the rule of my shop. As long as it does not affect the transaction, anyone can come in. Besides, this friend is Lin Mo, who has just broken through to a high-level spiritual general. With him here, our transaction will be smooth."
More secure.”
After hearing the shop owner's introduction, the middle-aged young man became very interested in Lin Mo. The big man in black robe and the masked man also cast strange looks. This made Lin Mo feel a little surprised, but he remained calm in his heart.
The big man looked displeased and shouted at the shop owner: "Old man, we are your exclusive helpers. Why are there two outsiders behind us? What tricks do you want to play?"
"Everyone, please calm down, there will be a satisfactory solution." The shop owner smoothed over the situation with a smile. Lin Mo frowned, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
The shop owner stroked his beard and smiled: "You are my carefully selected partners to help me complete a great cause. Just follow my instructions, and the spoils will be divided equally."
"Hmph, of course the spoils must be divided equally." The big man snorted coldly, "It's just that this mission sounds very dangerous. I don't intend to lead others to die."
The young man said hesitantly: "I also want to know what the specific task is. If it is too risky..."
"It doesn't matter, you just need to follow me to a place to take a look at the goods." The shopkeeper interrupted him and said sternly, "I said, only take one person with you. If you are not satisfied, there is no need to waste time here!
"
Lin Mo listened quietly, with a flash of contempt in his eyes. He understood that the shop owner was using greed to sow discord, so that he could firmly control the situation at the critical moment.
The big man and the young man looked ugly, as if they were at war with each other in their hearts. After a while, the young man gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I agree to go see the goods with you. But I don't necessarily do the task."
"I'll go too." The big man said solemnly.
The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Lin Mo: "Where is this guest?"
"Lead the way." Lin Mo responded calmly.
The shopkeeper led the three people to a deserted valley outside the city. The place was covered with towering ancient trees and surrounded by mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
"This is it." The shopkeeper took out two exquisite wooden boxes from his arms, placed them on the ground and opened them.
There is a glowing object in each of the two boxes. One of them is a bright blue fruit, exuding a shocking aura; the other is a small ball glowing with five colors of brilliance, faintly mysterious.
A strange gravity was pulling on Lin Mo's mind.
"What...what is this?" The big man asked in surprise, "How can there be such a powerful spiritual energy!"
"You don't have to worry about their origins." The shop owner said calmly, "I just need you to confirm whether these two treasures are enough to exchange for the generous rewards in the mission."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to the mid-empty spot, and the nearby fog instantly surged and surrounded the two wooden boxes.
"Be careful! There are restrictions in the box!" The young man's expression changed drastically.
The shopkeeper chuckled and said: "You are alert. I just put some restrictions in place to prevent you from taking action first. Now, look carefully and give me the answer!"
Lin Mo stared at the bright blue fruit intently, vaguely feeling that it seemed to be waving to him.
"I'm very satisfied with these two treasures!" The big man's eyes flashed with greed. "As long as I can get them, I will do my best!"
The young man also nodded nervously: "I am also willing to contribute, I just want a fair distribution of the spoils!"
The shop owner smiled proudly: "Very good! It seems we have made a deal!"
After verifying the two treasures, the shopkeeper led everyone to a dilapidated hut outside the city. The hut stood among rocks, surrounded by overgrown weeds, and looked like it had been neglected for a long time.
"This is it." The shopkeeper opened the low door of the hut, and it was dark inside.
Several people walked in with the shopkeeper, only to find that the interior of the hut was much more spacious than the outside. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and wooden tables and several chairs were neatly placed on the floor.
"Look over there." The shopkeeper raised his hand and pointed to the wall opposite the door of the hut.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to a scroll hanging on the wall - it was a colorful landscape painting with delicate and vivid brushwork, on which was painted a mountainous cave sky scenery. What's even more surprising is that this painting seemed to be in
It flows slowly, as if it is depicting an endless world.
"This painting...is it the legendary Xumi Cave Heaven Picture?" the young man cried out.
"Yes, this is the Wuguang Clan's treasure - the Xumi Cave Heaven Picture!" the shopkeeper said with a proud smile, "It's just that this picture has some flaws and is not as good as the two perfect ones. But it is enough for us.
.”
Lin Mo stared closely at the flowing landscape painting, vaguely feeling that there was an incredible mystery behind it.
"Now that we have seen this picture of the cave, we can go to the real Xumi Cave." The shop owner reached out and touched the bottom of the scroll. Suddenly, a door opened on the wall, exuding a faint five-color brilliance. "Please!
"
Both the big man and the young man showed expressions of surprise and excitement, and couldn't wait to step into the glory.
Although Lin Mo had doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to follow.
As soon as he entered the cave door, Lin Mo felt that the surrounding scenery was changing rapidly. The ground under his feet suddenly turned into crystal, and the bright starry sky was above his head. In the blink of an eye, he came to a sea of bright flowers, and the air was filled with sweet fragrance.
"This is the entrance passage to Xumi Cave, please feel its wonder!" the shop owner said with a smile from the front.
Lin Mo was absorbed in admiring the changes in the surrounding scenery. Suddenly, a blur appeared in front of his eyes, and he appeared in a square paved with bluestones. Looking up and looking around, he was surrounded by the continuous mountains depicted in the Xumi Cave Sky Map.
.
"We have entered the territory of Dongtian." The shop owner nodded with satisfaction, "This is the real Xumi, a paradise of its own world!"
"Isn't this the scenery in the cave sky painting?" Lin Mo looked around and found that every plant and tree here was exactly the same as the landscape painting in the scroll.
"That's right!" the shop owner smiled mysteriously, "This is the wonderful thing about the cave sky map - it turns the world in the painting into reality and allows people to be in it. The place where we are is the place where the flaws appeared in the original painting.
, so it is extremely real and stable.”
"Is this why you invited us here?" The big man suddenly raised his head, "What secrets does this contain?"
"You guessed it right." The shop owner chuckled, "I brought you here just to open the most magical place in this cave - the Thunder Beast Pavilion!"
After saying that, he raised his wrist and pointed in the air, and suddenly a bright light shot towards a small mountain peak not far away. There was a loud rumble in the mountain peak, and a huge stone pavilion appeared in front of everyone.
"Thunder Beast Pavilion!" the shopkeeper announced loudly, "We have finally arrived at the core of the cave! There are good things inside that I worked so hard to get!"
Lin Mo and others followed the shop owner into the stone pavilion, and saw a huge black shadow in the center of the pavilion, woven with countless lightning bolts.
After climbing to the attic, everyone found that there was a mysterious atmosphere here, as if time had stopped. The ancient pictures and mysterious runes in the attic outlined a mysterious beauty. The shop owner led everyone forward and pointed to the prohibition on the scroll.
Array pattern.
"This forbidden array is used to imprison thunder beasts, and it is also the door to a deeper cave." The shop owner said mysteriously, his words revealing an expectation of the unknown.
Lin Mo and others were shocked, and their excitement for the unknown adventure once again heated up. The atmosphere in the attic became more and more solemn, and the Thunder Beast showed an increasingly fierce struggle as it got closer and closer to them. Lin Mo turned to look at the shop owner and asked
Said: "What's so special about this restriction array?"
The shop owner smiled and explained: "This is the Thunder-Bound Focused Light Formation, which is specially used to limit the power of thunder-attributed spiritual beasts. And the thunder beasts in it are exactly the target of our trip."
"This is the spiritual beast I want you to help subdue - the thunder beast!" The shop owner waved his hand, and a big hole suddenly opened in the power grid. The black shadow inside suddenly opened its blood-red eyes, and a roar like a sonic boom burst out from the power grid.
And out!
"Look at the scales on its body and its mighty body, it is definitely a high-level spiritual beast!" the young man exclaimed.
"That's right! I tried my best to trap it here. All you need to do is help me enlighten it, and the prize will be its Thunder Beast Armor and its two-eyed spiritual core!" A cunning light flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.
As soon as the shop owner finished speaking, the thunder beast suddenly burst out with a powerful lightning attack in the power grid. The violent thunder power seemed to destroy everything. The young man and the big man were shocked by the power of the thunder beast and couldn't help but take a few steps back. Lin Mo remained silent.
Calmly, a glint flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that this thunder beast is quite extraordinary." Lin Mo whispered to himself, closely watching every move of the thunder beast.
The shopkeeper calmly and skillfully controlled the thunder-binding focal light formation, making it respond quickly. The focal light swirling in the power grid instantly formed a solid layer of protection, blocking the violent offensive of the thunder beasts.
The thunder beast seemed to be extremely angry because of this sudden turn of events. The whole body was filled with lightning, and it seemed to be trying to break through the shackles of the power grid!
"Did you see it? This is the thunder-binding focus light array that I carefully prepared, specifically used to restrain and imprison thunder-type spiritual beasts!" The shop owner said proudly, "As long as the thunder beast is still in the array, its thunder and lightning power will be
Unable to explode with full force!"
Lin Mo looked thoughtfully at the violent thunder beast in the power grid, vaguely feeling that things were not as simple as the shop owner said.
"But the ban alone is not enough, we also need to use some strength to force it to submit." The shop owner summoned a small silver-white beast, "This is the awning beast I bought with a lot of money. It is naturally capable of restraining thunder.
I'll use it to test it out first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw the hairy beast into the electric grid. The silver light from the body of the hairy beast was shining directly at the vitals of the thunder beast!
Lin Mo and others watched nervously as the Hairy Light Beast was brought to the Thunder Beast. The Thunder Beast's eyes were radiating dazzling lightning, and it bit the Hairy Light Beast's neck without hesitation.
With a loud "boom" sound, the Thunder Beast unexpectedly spurted out strong thunder and lightning from its mouth, directly electrifying the Haimang Beast until it crackled and smoked.
"It's so powerful. The thunder and lightning power of this Thunder Beast is at least as strong as an Earth Immortal!" Lin Mo exclaimed. At this moment, the Thunder-binding Focused Light Formation suddenly flashed a few times, and the Thunder Beast's mouth spurted out
Thunder and lightning suddenly became confusing in front of the formation.
"My Thunder-binding Focused Light Formation is specially designed to restrain thunder magic. Even if the Thunder Emperor comes in person, I'm afraid he will still be restrained." The shop owner said proudly.
"Whoops!" A bolt of lightning spit out from the mouth of the thunder beast, tearing a crack in the silver light, but it was quickly repaired by the silver light pouring out of the crack.
"Did you see that the Hair of the Hairy Beast can recover on its own, and the Thunder Beast can't hurt it at all?" The shop owner chuckled, "Sooner or later, the Thunder Beast will be exhausted by us!"
Lin Mo had an ominous premonition in his heart. He had a vague feeling that this spiritual beast named "Thunder Beast" seemed to have hidden powerful power that was unknown to everyone!
"The thunderous magical power of this thunder beast should not be underestimated. We must deal with it carefully." The shop owner reminded everyone, his tone revealing the awe of the thunder beast's strength.
Thunder and lightning burst out from the Thunder Beast's body, forming a powerful electric field that seemed to destroy everything around it. The Thunder-binding Focused Light Formation emitted a weak light and tried its best to withstand the impact of the Thunder Beast, but the differences between the formations
The violent collision is frightening.
Just when the Thunder Beast was about to take action again, a young man in black appeared from mid-air, holding a black spear and pointing it at the Thunder Beast. With a "swish" sound, the spear shot out a long black snake, which wrapped around him in the blink of an eye.
The thunder beast lives.
"Are you...the younger brother of the elder of the Tianpeng tribe?" Lin Mo exclaimed after seeing the face of the visitor clearly.
"Yes, I am the younger brother of the third elder of the Tianpeng tribe. Just call me Yinrou." The young man in black said calmly.
