Chapter 122 The Last Choice

In the process of searching for the sapphires, Lin Feng and his partners gradually revealed that the two gems were inherited by two different families, both of which carried heavy history and responsibilities. This discovery triggered a complex struggle between the families, and Lin Feng had to mediate between representatives of different families.

Lin Feng came to an old family manor and talked with the head of the family, Lina, who revealed to Lin Feng how much their family cherished the sapphire. Lin Feng persuaded her that the importance of the sapphire was not only its value, but also that it represented the reconciliation and unity between the two families. Lina finally agreed to merge the two gems, but under the condition that she could display the gem in the family's traditional ceremony.

On the other hand, Lin Feng also came to the manor of another family to communicate with the family representative Baker. Baker was excited about the return of the sapphire, but he also had his own conditions. He asked to engrave the logo of the two families on the merged gem to show that it was a commemoration of the history between the two families. Baker's proposal was also recognized by Lin Feng.

Finally, Lin Feng brought together representatives of the two families, and through compromise, they agreed to merge the two gems into one and engrave the symbols of the two families on the gem. This ceremony became a new starting point in the history of the two families and a symbol of the sapphire's return to its original place.

After the return of the sapphire, Lin Feng and his companions continued their adventure. This time, their goal was to find a mysterious ancient item that was rumored to have supernatural powers. This item was called the "Staff of Destiny" and was said to be able to change a person's destiny.

They headed to an ancient temple, where it was said that precious information about the Wand of Destiny was kept. In the temple, they met an old monk named Xiyu. Xiyu told them that the Wand of Destiny was an ancient legend, and it was believed to be a magic wand with incredible power that could change a person's destiny, but it was also dangerous.

Lin Feng: (curiously) "Does the Staff of Destiny really exist?"

Xi Yu: (Thinking) "It's just a legend, but every legend has its roots. I believe the Staff of Destiny may exist, but its power is not so easy to obtain. To find it, you must travel through dangerous realms and face various trials."

Lin Feng and his companions decided to accept the challenge, and they felt their curiosity about the item forced them to move forward. Xi Yu told them that first, they needed to go to an ancient mountain where legend has it that a guard guards the entrance to the Wand of Destiny. The mountain is called the "Guardian Peak".

They passed through dense forests, climbed steep mountains, and finally came to the entrance of Guardian Peak, where they encountered a mysterious guard who looked like a man living in ancient times, holding a huge ancient spear.

Guard: (stern) "Only those with strong faith and good will can approach the Staff of Destiny. What is your purpose here?"

Lin Feng: (Determined) "We come here to learn the truth about the Wand of Destiny. We come here with good intentions."

Guard: (nods) "Well, only those who have passed the test can enter. You must pass three tests, each of which will test your faith, kindness, and wisdom."

Lin Feng and his companions entered the interior of Guardian Peak, ready to face the first test. They were led to a vast cave, which was emitting a dim light.

The first test is a pile of seemingly ordinary porcelain bowls scattered on the floor of the cave. Lin Feng and his companions find that each bowl has a different symbol, representing a variety of different beliefs and values. They are asked to choose a bowl from them, but only one can be the correct choice.

Historian (hesitantly): "That's too tricky. How are we supposed to know which is correct?"

Lin Feng (deep in thought): "Perhaps the right choice does not lie in ourselves, but in our understanding of beliefs and values. Everyone has their own beliefs, and choosing the porcelain bowl that is closest to us may be the right choice."

Jewelry designer (noticing a heart-shaped symbol on a porcelain bowl): "I found a porcelain bowl with a heart-shaped symbol on it, which represents love and kindness. Maybe this is the right choice."

Lin Feng nodded, and they placed the porcelain bowl with a heart-shaped logo in the center. Suddenly, the porcelain bowl emitted a bright light, leading to the entrance to the second test.

The second test is a huge maze full of complex corridors and obstacles. They need to find the exit to the next area. This time, they must show wisdom and teamwork.

Lin Feng: (Looking for a way out) "We can't act separately. We must stay in touch. Let's find the exit together."

They began to carefully explore the maze, leaving marks to ensure they would not return to the same places repeatedly. At one critical moment, the historian almost fell into a trap, but Lin Feng reacted quickly and pulled him back.

Jewelry Designer: (finds the exit) "Here, I found the exit!"

They successfully passed the second test and entered the area of ​​the final test. This time, they came to a mysterious altar with a seemingly ordinary stone on it.

Xiyu: (Explaining) "The final test is a test of faith and goodwill. Each of you must place an honest heart stone on the altar. Only those who are sincere and kind will be able to obtain the rod of destiny."

Lin Feng and his companions placed a heart stone on the altar and waited for the result. Suddenly, the altar emitted a mysterious light, and they felt a warm and peaceful force filling the entire area.

Xiyu: (Smiling) "You have passed the test. Now you can continue on your journey to find the Wand of Destiny."

Lin Feng and his companions came to the final test area of ​​the Wand of Destiny, an ancient temple full of mysterious patterns and carvings.

In the center of the temple, they found a huge stone tablet with some unknown characters engraved on it. Lin Feng tried to translate the characters, but found that they were very complicated and different from any characters he had seen before.

Lin Feng: (Confused) "These words seem to come from an unknown civilization. I can't understand them."

Historian: (Studying the patterns on the stone tablet) "Perhaps the answer lies in these patterns. They appear to be a kind of illustrated guide, possibly containing clues to the Wand of Destiny."

Jewelry Designer: (eagerly) "We must try to solve the mystery of these patterns. Perhaps they will lead us to the Wand of Destiny."
