Lin Mo was surprised and said in a deep voice: "I appreciate your kindness, but I am always a member of the human race and cannot betray my own blood!"
Yinruo frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes: "What do the human race mean to you? They have never regarded you as one of their own!"
"Even so, I can't erase my life experience." Lin Mo said firmly.
Yinruo sneered and was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something, his expression froze and he fell silent. Lin Mo looked at it and felt suspicious in his heart.
The two of them were relatively speechless, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.
"As far as I know, the Holy Lord of your Tianpeng tribe just died not long ago, and now the tribe is torn apart." Lin Mo said in a deep voice.
Yinruo's face changed drastically, and he couldn't hide his surprise: "How did you know about this situation? Is there a spy inside who leaked the secret?"
"I only know a little bit about it." Lin Mo said calmly.
"How can a mere human race know so much about our Tianpeng's internal affairs? There must be something fishy!" Yinruo's eyes burst with cold light and he approached Lin Mo with an intimidating aura.
"This... I just learned about it, and I really don't know much about it." There was hesitation in Lin Mo's tone.
Yinruo narrowed her eyes and looked at him up and down. After a long time, she slowly retreated to where she was, her expression gloomy and melancholy. Lin Mo looked at it with mixed feelings in his heart.
Yinruo's face suddenly changed, and her eyes radiated dazzling golden light. The shadow of a huge golden roc appeared behind her, and the space instantly distorted and solidified.
Lin Mo felt as if the air around him had turned into gel, and he was restrained by an invisible powerful force, unable to move anything.
"If I don't figure out where your news comes from, I won't give up!" Yinruo's eyes were filled with golden light, and his whole body exuded murderous intent.
Just when Lin Mo thought he was certain to die, the golden light suddenly converged, and Yinruo returned to his original appearance: "Forget it, I won't argue with you today. Don't tell anyone about what happened just now!"
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and was freed from Yinruo's confinement. He looked at the girl's rapidly changing expression and secretly felt happy in his heart.
Yinruo looked at Lin Mo with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "The reason why I want to keep you is actually because I hope you can become the protector of a candidate for the Holy Son of our clan."
Lin Mo hesitated and said: "Dharma protector? What protection can I provide?"
"With your strength, you are fully capable of helping the candidate of the Holy Son pass the upcoming adult trial." Yinruo said calmly, "This trial is extremely difficult and dangerous, and most of the previous candidates have been unable to escape unscathed."
Lin Mo couldn't help but feel moved when he heard her describe the crisis of the trial. It seemed that the fate of the Holy Son candidate mentioned by Yin Ruo was worrying, and he needed his power to protect him in order to pass smoothly.
"I don't know much about the details of the adult trial. Can you please elaborate?" Lin Mo asked.
A strange color flashed in Yinruo's eyes, and he smiled lightly and said: "This matter should not be rushed. You can stay with my clan for a few days and listen to me slowly. How about it?"
With some doubts, Lin Mo nodded and agreed to join the clan to assist. At the moment, he didn't know the variables of the subsequent trial, so he could only place his hope on Yinruo's duty to protect the law.
Lin Mo followed the great elder Jin Yue to the center of the Tianpeng tribe. The majestic buildings around it opened Lin Mo's eyes. Jin Yue explained that this is the Tianpeng Palace, the residence of the Tianpeng tribe's rulers and elders. She led Lin Mo
Mo came to an extraordinary palace.
"This is the Phoenix Palace, the most sacred place for our Tianpeng clan." Jin Yue pushed open the heavy stone door, and the interior was simply and solemnly decorated. On the high Phoenix throne in the center, two young men and women wearing bright clothes sat.
"Are you two the future rulers of the Tianpeng clan?" Lin Mo looked at them curiously.
"Exactly. They are now facing the final stage of the adult ceremony - the Fengyuan Trial." Jin Yue looked serious, "But the trial is extremely difficult and dangerous, and we need your help."
Lin Mo asked in surprise: "Me? Your Tianpeng clan is so powerful, can't you find any clan members to help you?"
Jin Yue sighed: "Our tribe is very talented, but the number is too small, and the powerful elders have fallen asleep." She pleaded, "Lin Mo, I can see the potential in you, please help our tribe.
Become one of the Holy Sons and protect them through the Fengyuan Trial!"
Although the Tianpeng clan's invitation made him hesitant, he also realized that this might be a rare opportunity. In this unfamiliar hall, he glanced at the mysterious elders in front of him, especially the great elder Jin Yue.
Trying to pry out more information from their eyes.
"Lin Mo, there is Kunpeng's blood behind you, and we already know your life experience." There was a hint of mystery in the tone of the Great Elder Jin Yue, "Our Tianpeng clan has a deep connection with True King Kunpeng, and you
, is the continuation of this origin.”
Lin Mo had mixed feelings. He and the Tianpeng tribe were from the same ancestry. He finally nodded in agreement, but he still had doubts in his heart: "I am a human race, can I be the Holy Son? What is the danger of the trial?"
Jin Yue said solemnly: "With your bloodline and strength, our clan will definitely make an exception! As for the trial, please allow me to elaborate."
Lin Mo asked the great elder about the details of the trial, and inevitably felt a little worried in his heart. Jin Yue knew the dangers of the trial, and she analyzed the difficulties of the trial for him in a solemn tone.
"Lin Mo, the trial process is not easy. Moreover, as the Holy Son, you will assist two junior flying spirit generals. Although their cultivation is good, they are not invincible." Jin Yue's eyes revealed deep thought, "But,
Considering your ability to travel through most of the Feng Yuan Continent, you should be able to barely cope with the challenge of the trial."
Jin Yue led Lin Mo to a cliff, with an endless abyss at his feet.
"This is Fengyuan, the final trial place for our tribe's coming-of-age ceremony. Participants must experience it for seventy-seven forty-nine days and pass ninety-nine and eighty-one heavenly tribulations before they can be called qualified adult Tianpeng tribe.
member."
Lin Mo looked at the unfathomable dark rift in front of him in shock.
Jin Yue continued to explain: "Feng Yuan locks up the glory and suffering of our Tianpeng clan. Whenever our clan is few in number and weak in strength, Fengyuan's defense will be strengthened and the trial difficulty will increase."
"So, their cultivation is still very weak?" Lin Mo seemed to have found the key.
"Exactly. According to the usual practice, the candidates only need to reach the level of Feiling General, but the current situation is not trivial." Jin Yue looked solemn.
Lin Mo pondered, Feiling will not be life-threatening to him. "Then my task is to protect them from passing the assessment safely?"
"Yes, you just need to ensure that they are alive!" Jin Yue's eyes showed eagerness, "In three days, Fengyuan's portal will open. Lin Mo, I'm waiting for your good news!"
Lin Mo nodded, the Tianpeng clan's situation seemed indeed critical. He needed to think carefully and make preparations.
Jin Yue took Lin Mo back to Tianpeng Palace and came to a beautifully decorated wing.
"This will be your residence while you are in the Tianpeng tribe." Jin Yue asked Lin Mo to take a seat, "I understand that you still have doubts, but please remember that the gate of Fengyuan will open in three days, and we really can't afford to wait!
"
"I understand that the situation is critical." Lin Mo nodded, "I just don't want to be abandoned after being used."
"The Tianpeng people never break their promises." Jin Yue said solemnly, "I swear to the supreme god that your help will be richly rewarded. Before that, you can move freely and learn about our people's past."
Lin Mo saw that Jin Yue had no deceitful intentions, and finally let down his guard: "Okay, I still need three days to think and prepare."
"Please hurry up! I am Jin Yue. This is my token. If you take it, you can summon me directly." Jin Yue took out a small feather token and handed it to Lin Mo.
Three days later, Lin Mo stood outside the main hall, quietly staring at the sky of the Tianpeng clan. He was full of expectations for the trial, but also felt anxious about the unknown future. At this critical moment, Jin Yue's words echoed in the sky.
his mind.
"Lin Mo, the trial is very important to us and time is tight. But I promise you that we will never treat you badly during your time in the Tianpeng clan. You have three days to think about it. After three days, we look forward to
Your reply." Jin Yue's voice revealed determination and expectation, and at the same time, her eyes seemed to be able to see through Lin Mo's inner struggle.
While Lin Mo was checking in, Jin Yue came to the elders' meeting hall to discuss countermeasures with the two elders.
In the main hall, three elders of the Tianpeng tribe were nervously discussing how to deal with Lin Mo. One of the elders frowned and said, "The wings behind this person are what we need. Should we just seize them?"
Another elder pondered for a moment and then suggested: "Perhaps we can put him under house arrest and wait for the trial to end before dealing with him. After all, he may really be useful."
The Great Elder Jin Yue had deep eyes and her voice was calm but firm: "No matter what, we must not act rashly.
Lin Mo’s identity is not simple, he may be the savior of our Tianpeng clan. We must stay calm and not damage the future of the entire clan because of temporary interests."
"Great Elder, it is unprecedented for a foreigner to become a Holy Son!" The elder in red said dissatisfiedly.
"I think this guy's cultivation is not weak, and his wings give me hope." Jin Yue said eagerly.
Elder Ziyi suggested: "We must seize the initiative first! How about imprisoning him?"
"Shut up!" Jin Yue shouted sternly, "Lin Mo has a destiny, he is the only one who can save us!"
The elder in red and the elder in purple looked at each other and did not refute Jin Yue's judgment.
"I understand your anxiety." Jin Yue said softly, "Please be patient and wait, I will definitely convince Lin Mo!"
Lin Mo stayed alone in the side room and meditated. Jin Yue's attitude seemed sincere, but he had a vague feeling that something was fishy.
"I am now in the center of the Tianpeng tribe. It will be extremely difficult to escape." Lin Mo's heart rang with alarm bells.
He walked around the room, quickly filtering the options in his mind. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his eyes fell on several Tianpeng clan classics on the table.
"Maybe I should first investigate the details of the Tianpeng clan and understand why they asked for help." Lin Mo finally had an idea.
So he decided to stay put for the time being and first clarify the various questions Jin Yue mentioned by studying the historical books of the Tianpeng tribe.
Early the next morning, Lin Mo came to Yiyu Temple, which is located near Tianpeng Palace. This is a building that integrates historical books and classics.
After Lin Mo explained his intention to the elder in charge of management, he received a warm reception. The elder also personally recommended several important books on the history and situation of the Tianpeng clan. Lin Mo selected the three most important books and took them to the side room to study in detail.
He studied continuously for a whole day and night, and finally systematically understood the historical changes and current situation of the Tianpeng clan. Although there were still some doubts, Lin Mo had roughly figured out the authenticity of the various facts Jin Yue said, which made him
He will have more complete trump cards when negotiating with the Tianpeng tribe.
More than half of three days passed, and Lin Mo decided that it was time to calmly propose certain conditions to the Tianpeng clan to ensure his own safety and interests.
He first took out the feather token given by Jin Yue and summoned her. When Jin Yue arrived, Lin Mo said solemnly: "Elder, I will definitely go to the battle with Fengyuan tomorrow. But before that, I still have some questions.
Clarifications and conditions need to be raised, which would be of great benefit to both of us."
After Jin Yue readily agreed, Lin Mo took her to the Tianpeng tribe's trading center - Huo Vacuum Market.
Lin Mo and Jin Yue soon came to an imposing stone pillar building. They saw people coming and going around, and it was very lively.
"This is the trading center of our Tianpeng clan. You can make any requests here." Jin Yue explained.
Lin Mo nodded and walked into the Stone Pillar Hall calmly. He saw that the interior was like a huge open-air market, with a dazzling array of magical items and bright colors.
In this key trading place, Lin Mo was about to formally propose his conditions to Jin Yue and other Tianpeng clan elders.
Lin Mo stepped into the stone pillar market and was immediately shocked by the bustling scene. Hundreds of Tianpeng tribesmen were coming and going, entering and leaving the densely packed shops. On the huge stone pillar standing in the center, red and green text flickered, and the market range was
All transaction information is available at a glance.
Lin Mo approached the stone pillar curiously and found that the names of various items were densely engraved on it. This was the "stone pillar catalog" used by the Tianpeng tribe for transactions.
Lin Mo carefully identified some familiar items and found many rare elixirs that he had never heard of before. Especially the "Qingluo Fruit", which is said to be the main material for making Tianluo Dan and can enhance the effects of other elixirs.
It is extremely important to Lin Mo.
At this moment, Lin Mo noticed several Tianpeng tribesmen negotiating with a guard wearing armor in front of the stone pillar.
Some of them took out short red sticks and poked them randomly at the stone pillars, while others used their body skills to shoot sharp blades at the stone pillars.
Lin Mo realized that this was how the Tianpeng people conducted transactions - expressing their needs through the stone pillar catalog, and then the guards arranged the matching.
Lin Mo sighed: "What a strange way of trading..."
He looked around and his eyes fell on a store with a clear banner. That was the seller of Qingluo Fruit. Lin Mo took a deep breath and calmly stepped inside.
Lin Mo walked into Qingluo Guo's shop and found that the place was extremely shabby. There was only a skinny middle-aged man sitting behind the counter with an expressionless face.
