Chapter 130 - Trials
Jian and Song Yu have read the wall near the mountain and have found out about the trial caves. So after recovering in top condition they stood in front of the first trail cave and made eye contact.
They both nodded and simultaneously put a step into the cave. After that, they found themselves in a dark corridor. Jian moved forward and torches started to light themselves on the wall. Slowly a route was formed which was shown by the light of the torches.
Jian and Song Yu immediately knew that they had to follow the route to get to the trial area. They started to follow the route. While moved they were very careful of the surroundings. They were ready to attack if something out of the ordinary pops up.
They would make several eye contacts whole moving. Jian had already activated his ability Star Gaze.. As he had entered the cave he was able to see Thunder element spread throughout the cave.
The cave was similar to the entrance of the tomb. Thunder element was in the air and I was coursing through the walls of the cave. But this time Jian was able to see where the Thunder current was leading. When he looked closely, the starting point of all the Thunder elements was the end of the route which they were following.
Jian immediately knew that the Thunder element is spread from the trail area throughout the cave. He would follow the Thunder currents while comparing with the route.
They have walked for more than ten minutes and finally, they can see the light at the end of the tunnel. They knew that they are reaching the trial area. They increased their speed.
In a few minutes, they reached the light and found themselves in a room while was built by the rocks. They immediately started to look here and there for clues but were not able to find anything.
They both frowned, they couldn't understand what was going on. They have reached the end of the tunnel but they had not found any instructions about the trial. Jian had also compared it with the Thunder current and it was leading towards the room where we're standing.
They went back to their position where they were standing and looked straight at the wall. They were not able to find anything so they had nothing to do aside from staring at the wall.
A few minutes have passed and there was no response so both of them discussed checking the other cave. And as they were leaving the room lit up and words started to appear on the wall they were staring at.
"Welcome to the first trial cave. As you know that you have to clear all caves trials to clear the first peek of the tomb and move to the second peak.
So let's get on with your first trial. To complete the first trial you have to go back to the mountain and hunt ten beasts of similar strength but they should be different.
After hunting them you have to bring their heads and arrange them in a circle in front of the wall. If you successfully do it that you will be given herbs as a reward and you will be sent to the second trial.
You only have five hours to complete the trial. As you leave the cave your trial we are started. In five hours you have to be present in front of the wall with ten different beasts heads.
If you are unsuccessful in clearing the trial then you would have to wait for forty-eight hours before you can restart taking the trials. So be careful while hunting the beasts.
Best of luck. "
Jian and Song Yu were shocked. They didn't expect the trial to be this easy. They looked at each other and immediately knew that both of them have thought of the same plan. They looked at each other and nodded.
They immediately turned back and while smiling they moved towards the exit of the cave. The reason for smiling was their plan for clearing the trial.
The plan was that they have already hunted the beasts when they were climbing towards the peak. And they have even harvested their parts. The head of the beasts was one of the main parts which Jian had harvested.
So when they heard they have to hunt ten beasts and bring back their heads to the cave they immediately thought of them and both formed a similar plan.
So in ten minutes, they reached the exit. As they went outside the cave their trial was started. Then they looked at each other and nodded before entering the cave again.
After more than ten minutes they were standing in front of the wall which has given them their first trial. Jian then waved his hand and ten different heads of two-star beasts appeared in front of them.
Song Yu then moved towards them and started to arrange them in a circle as it was suggested. In a few minutes, she was done. Then she went back and stood beside Jian.
They both then waited for the trial to be checked and to hear their results. In a few minutes, the circle created by using beasts heads disintegrated and the room lit up again and words on the wall started to change.
"Congratulations on completing the first trial. Now you are allowed to go to the second trial cave for further trials.
The reward for completing this trial is ten two-star herbs. "
Then the words disappeared from the wall and ten different herbs appeared in place of the heads of the beasts.
Jian immediately activated Star Gaze and checked them. He was shocked to read the information about the herbs.
Because all herbs were extinct. These ten herbs can't be found in the realm. Over time they have extinct. So when Jian read about them he was shocked.
He was also happy because with these herbs he will be able to refine new pills which can help his sect grow faster. He immediately waved his hand and kept the herbs in the inventory.
As it was already discussed that all resources will be given to Jian to accept the inheritance. So Song Yu didn't have any problem with Jian taking all the herbs.
Since they have cleared the first cave they walked back to the exit. After coming out then they started following the route which was built on the mountain to reach the second cave.
After ten minutes of walking, they reached the second cave. They didn't wait and directly went inside the cave for the information about the second trial.
The cave was similar to the first cave. Everything was like the first cave so they didn't have any problem. After following the route for ten minutes they have reached the similar wall which they saw in the first cave and were waiting for the second trial.
They waited for a few minutes and after a few minutes the room lit up and words started to appear on the wall.
"Congratulations on clearing the first trail. Get ready for the next trial.
For the second trial, you have to go back to the mountain and search for twenty different herbs of a similar grade.
You have to carefully harvest them and then bring back to the cave and then again plant them in front of the wall.
If you have planted herbs successfully then you will clear the second trial. The rewards for the second trial will be beasts cores.
If you are unsuccessful in completing the trial. Then you would have to wait for forty hours and again retake the first trial.
So be careful while harvesting the herbs because of the herbs are damaged then you will not able to plant them.
For this trial, you will only have three hours and the time will start whenever you leave the cave.
Best of luck "
Jian and Song had already expected the trial to be related to the herbs but they didn't expect to plant the herbs back in the cave. Also, they have not expected such harsh punishment for failing to complete the trial.
They immediately went back to leave the cave. They have a similar plan as to the first cave. While climbing the mountain Jian and Song Yu have already harvested the herbs. Jian had carefully harvested them so that the system can plant them back in the sect's herb garden.
So they immediately moved towards the exit and after coming out of the cave they waited for a few minutes. The trial time had already started when they left the cave.
Then they went inside and in ten minutes, they were standing in front of the wall. On the ground, a ploughed area had appeared for planting the herbs.
Jian them moved towards it and one by one started planting the herbs. In a half-hour, he had planted all twenty different herbs. He didn't use the herbs he got as a reward.
Then he went back and stood beside Song Yu, waiting for the results of the second trial.
