With a "poof" sound, the black hill shattered and dissipated in the flash of gray light.

The foreigner who was originally suppressed on the ground jumped up, his face turned red, and he roared in a low voice, with a yellow light flashing from his mouth, as if he was going to attack Lin Mo directly.

When Lin Mo saw this, he didn't see any action and just sneered.

"Stop! You are no match for him, come back." The man named Gui ordered coldly.

"He just took advantage of my unpreparedness and succeeded! I must..." The green-haired alien was furious and refused to obey orders.

"Why, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Although the man named Gui's voice was not loud, when it reached the ears of the green-haired alien, it made his heart tremble, his anger suddenly disappeared, and he repeatedly said "dare not".

Then, the green-haired alien glared at Lin Mo with gritted teeth, returned to his original position, and sat cross-legged on the futon gloomily.

"Since you insist on keeping that fellow Yue Taoist, forget it. From what I heard from your conversation just now, it seems that you didn't come here specifically for a conflict."

"We don't want to take action for no reason and waste mana. But if you stand in front of me next time, the consequences will not be so easy to solve!" The man surnamed Gui said coldly and sat down again.

When Lin Mo heard the threatening words, he just touched his chin lightly and said nothing.

The old man and others on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when the woman in palace clothes smiled sweetly at Lin Mo and hesitated to speak, the voice of "Deacon Min" came from the stairs:

"Except for the eighth and ninth levels of the upper clan, all those who want to apply to enter the Magic Gold Mountains must pass the test."

"Those who want to enter the mountains can go upstairs now. Only two people can come up at a time!"

Deacon Min's words were as calm as water, but they immediately caused a commotion among the people gathered here.

Everyone looked at each other and immediately two people rushed up the stairs one after the other and disappeared at the entrance of the stairs in the blink of an eye.

One of these two people is in the middle stage of becoming a god, and the other is in the early stage of refining the void. Neither of them are the same as the old man or the man named Gui.

Others who failed to respond in time showed a trace of regret on their faces.

After all, it is naturally beneficial and harmless to get the thunder protection umbrella first.

The rest of the people could only wait where they were.

Some people were observing the movements upstairs intently, trying to deduce something.

However, there seemed to be restrictions placed upstairs, or the test itself was silent.

There was no sound coming from the top of the stairs, everything was so silent.

This made a few people a little disappointed.

The test didn't last long, but it wasn't short either. Half an hour later, someone came down from upstairs.

All eyes immediately focused on him.

I saw that his clothes were in tatters and there seemed to be some blood stains on him. He looked like he had just experienced a fierce battle.

"I wish fellow Taoist, did you pass the test? Did you get the lightning protection umbrella?" An outsider who knew him well couldn't help but stood up and asked.

"The test has passed! But Deacon Min has told us that the specific content cannot be disclosed, otherwise the lightning protection umbrella will be withdrawn! And regardless of whether it passes or not, those who have passed the test must leave this place immediately."

"I won't say any more and take my leave first."

The man who looked a little embarrassed answered a few words vaguely, then hurriedly went downstairs and left.

After hearing his answer, the person who asked the question had no choice but to sit down again with a regretful expression.

After waiting for a while, another person also walked down from the fourth floor, looking frustrated.

Unlike the previous person, this person was completely unscathed, but his face was full of loss.

He didn't stop on the third floor and left directly.

Seeing such a scene, some people were eager to get up and looked at others with tentative eyes.

Obviously, everyone wants others to try it first.

"Two more people!" Deacon Min urged from the top of the stairs.

Lin Mo glanced around and saw that no one had gotten up yet. He smiled slightly, stood up, and walked towards the stairs.

However, as soon as he took a few steps, he heard the footsteps of another person behind him and followed him up.

"Senior, please wait a moment. It's not too late to wait for a while before coming back."

Lin Mo seemed to know who the person behind him was and said without looking back.

"Senior, please don't worry! I have already inquired about the test in advance and made some preparations."

A clear and sweet voice came from behind, it was Xianxian, a woman from the Jing clan.

"Since Taoist Fellow Daoist said this, then I am worrying too much." Lin Mo smiled softly and walked straight up the stairs.

Xianxian smiled slightly and followed gracefully.

When we reached the exit of the fourth floor staircase, there was indeed a light red light curtain blocking it.

Lin Mo smiled faintly and swayed straight through the light curtain.

Then, his eyes lit up and he appeared between a blue sky and earth.

The top of the head and the surrounding walls are crystal clear, glowing with a slight blue light.

Under the feet, there was a huge white magic circle, covering almost more than twenty feet of the ground. In the center of the magic circle stood a person, quietly looking at Lin Mo and Xianxian.

Lin Mo's eyes flashed with light, and he could clearly see the other person's face.

It turned out to be a man named Fang Yan who was dressed like a Confucian scholar. He was holding a yellow book in one hand and holding a pale golden formation plate in the other hand. His cultivation level looked like he was at the top level of Void Refining.

"It turns out that fellow Taoist is here!" The Confucian scholar said with a strange look on his face.

"What, do you know me, fellow Taoist?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

"Even if I didn't know him before, it's impossible for Min not to recognize the strength shown by my Taoist friend below. My Taoist friend's ability can even suppress the ninth-level existence, which can be said to be a great magical power." The Confucian scholar said with a click of his tongue.

"Fellow Taoist, I received the award. But I don't know how to test my qualifications?" Lin Mo asked nonchalantly.

"Test? With Taoist friends having such magical powers, what else do you need to test? Of course, they passed directly!" The Confucian scholar laughed.

Hearing this, Lin Mo and Xianxian were both a little surprised.

"What's wrong, fellow Taoist, do you think that I am a person who lacks flexibility? Since the high-level beings below are exempted from the test, you don't need to take the test."

"Hold it, this is Taoist friend's lightning protection umbrella!" As the Confucian scholar said, the book in his hand suddenly flashed with silver light, and something flew out of it, heading straight for Lin Mo.

Lin Mo grabbed the air with one hand and caught the flying object in his hand, feeling slightly cold.

When I looked down, I saw a small light silver umbrella, only a few inches in size, but very delicate, with dense runes covering its surface.

"There are a few things that need to be reminded, fellow Taoist. The lightning protection umbrella must be recognized in front of me to prevent it from being snatched away by others."

"And this umbrella can only be effective for one month after recognizing the owner. After this period, it will lose its effect."

"That is to say, you must come out of the mountains within a month, otherwise you will be demonized by the evil energy and become a real monster." Deacon Min reminded you very carefully.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Taoist." Lin Mo nodded, threw the small umbrella in his hand into the air, and then opened his mouth and sprayed it.

A small ball of blood turned into a blood mist and sprayed out, covering the small silver umbrella in it.

Then Lin Mo muttered something in his mouth, kept making gestures with his hands, and popped them into the air continuously.

Magic spells of different colors emerged one after another and poured into the blood mist.

The small silver umbrella expanded rapidly in size, becoming three feet in size in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a rumbling sound came from the blood mist, and the mist condensed into blood-colored runes of different sizes, rotating around the silver umbrella, and then disappeared.

For an instant, Yin Umbrella's whole body was covered with a layer of blood, but it soon returned to its original state.

Lin Mo waved, and the silver umbrella shrank and flew into his cuffs, disappearing instantly.

The entire recognition process was completed in just a few moments.

A look of surprise appeared on Deacon Min's face, and he was obviously surprised by the speed with which Lin Mo recognized the master of the Thunder Preventing Umbrella.

However, the next moment, his expression returned to normal, and he turned his gaze to Xianxian, frowned, and said:

"This fairy is from the Jing clan, and her cultivation level is too low. There is a great danger of falling when you enter the Magic Gold Mountains. I advise you not to go in. Otherwise, you may be in danger."

"Thank you for your concern, senior, but I must enter the Magic Gold Mountains. Please give me a chance to test, senior." Xianxian bowed deeply to Deacon Min and said firmly.

"Since the fairy said so, I won't persuade you any more."

"I have two tests. One is to be able to persist in the illusion I released for half an hour."

"The other is to fight my two puppet beasts and defeat them. As long as you pass one of them, you will pass the test." Deacon Min said slowly.

"I choose the first option!" Xianxian seemed to be prepared and said without hesitation.

"Then please invite the fairy to go." Deacon Min nodded.

After hearing this, the Jing Clan woman took three steps as expected.

Lin Mo looked to the side with a flash of light in his eyes and found that the woman had just walked onto a huge rune on the ground magic circle.

He had a thought in his mind, but before he had time to think about it, Deacon Min suddenly said to him:
To be continued...
