Jian and Song Yu were walking in the direction of the blood Qi Jian had sensed using Star Gaze. They knew that as long as they found the blood Qi, they would reach Blood Spirit Fruit.
They had not encouraged any beasts till now. Jian had used Star Gaze and couldn't sense any beasts near them. They found it odd because many herbs and spirit fruits ate everywhere, but no one was guarding them.
They continued to walk and kept an eye open for sudden attacks from the beasts. They had walked for three straight hours but couldn't come in contact with the beasts.
While walking, Jian and plucked the spirit fruit and herbs for his herb garden; most were present in the herbs garden. Only a few were not there.
With this, he was getting closer have all one-star herbs in one place. Only a few extinction Herbs were missing. Song Yu knew that he was gathering resources for his sect but couldn't understand why would he take only one of each.
He should collect all of them. If he thinks that he can grow them, then he would need time to do it. She couldn't understand him and was confused. She didn't know that he had a system that could speed up the process of maturing.
They continued to walk, and in between, Jian would check for blood Qi. They have been walking for a long time, but they could sense the same amount of blood Qi. They were not getting near it even though they had walked for more than three hours.
Jian decided to look in every direction after checking to hear, and there he found bushes. He looked closely at them and found out that they were bushes of Stone Berries.
He immediately told Song Yu, and then they rushed towards them. In half hour, he reached the area, and then he carefully checked them, and he was right. The bushes were of Stone Berries.
He Immediately looked and found that bushes of stones. Berries had created a route. Song Yu was also able to see that, so they immediately agreed and followed the path.
After walking for one hour, they reached a flat surface where only Stone Berries were present. Both were shocked because aside from stone berries, there were stone Horned Bulls even. From cubs to mature Bulls, everything was there.
Jian looked closely at them and saw that they were doing their things. Some were teaching, some feeding them. Some were fighting some were resting.
Jian couldn't understand what was going on. He looked at Song Yu and saw that she was also shocked. He and Song Yu didn't move. They became afraid that if they did something wrong, all bulls would attack them.
As Jian and Song Yu were thinking of solutions, a huge bull started to walk towards them. Jian and Song Yu immediately took a step back and prepared their weapons. Jian used Star Gaze and found out that it was a four-star beast.
He immediately looked at Song Yu and told her not to move. She didn't understand, but when the beast got closer, she suddenly felt pressure and knee why Jian told her not to move.
"No need afraid young one, relax guardian had informed me that two persons will come for the Jade Spirit Fruit.
But I didn't expect that you would come this early."
Jian immediately understood that this senior was waiting for them, and the guardian had already informed them about the task, which means that the Jade spirit fruit is with them.
"Yes, senior, we couldn't find a way. Then we saw stone berries and followed the route and reached here. This first place we have gone after getting the tasks. "
The beast nodded, and he understood how they were able to reach here. The bull looked at Song Yu and squinted his eyes. After a few seconds, he relaxed.
"Follow me"
Jian and Song Yu immediately followed the bull. They kept looking here and there, checking out stone Horned Bulls. The cubs were already in the one-star realm. Jian was shocked to see the cultivation realm.
If anyone of them were to go on a rampage, it would destroy his sect. He got a little afraid and started to think about how not to offend them.
The bull was able to feel the changes in Jian's temperament. He understood why Jian was being cautious. At the same time, Song Yu was continuously hiding behind Jian while walking.
"No need to be afraid; you are a trial taker, so your actions will not offend us. You are guests here. We have to be careful around you.
The place you come from is a guardians clan. Here all descendants of guardians live. It is the descendant's job to take trials given by the guardians.
So whatever trial you were given, we will judge whether you can complete it or not. So relax when you are ready, we will explain the problem."
Jian and Song Yu were shocked. They didn't expect that at the central part of the forest, the clans of guardians resided. The bull was speaking Jian, and Song Yu understood that all spirit fruits they had to collect would be found in the guardian's clan.
"Senior, you said that the clans of guardians will take all trials. Meaning to complete all tasks, we have to go to other guardians clans."
"Yes, you have to go to each clan to complete the trial. Whichever clans test you choose last will give you further information about the problems.
There are many rules you have to follow while taking the trial. If you fail to follow the rules, then the trial will consider as a failure, and then you already know the rest."
Yes, Jian knew the rest that I would be considered that they had failed the guardian's task, and for one week, they had to wait till the guardian gave them a new job.
"Senior can explain to us the rules of the trial. We are not informed about it."
"Sure, the rules are not that hard. Let's call me conditions instead of rules.
The first and foremost rule you have to follow is that when you start taking the trial, you can't leave that clan.
Only after fully taking the trial you can go to the next clan.
Second, the clan members will not provide any information about the trials. When the problem starts, then only you can get the information.
You can't ask about the other clans. You have to find them yourself, so don't expect anyone to tell you.
And then other rules are related to the trial, so when the problem starts, you will get to know about them."
Jian nodded and thought about the conditions. He couldn't understand them because all rules were basic. But when he felt the main controls were related to the trials, so he stopped thinking.
After half hour, the bull had led them towards a tree. Jian looked towards the tree and saw many Bulls were fighting against each other. Some were sitting in the shadow of the tree.
He checked their cultivation and found out that all had reached the peak of the two-star realm meaning their cultivation was equivalent to a one-star sect master.
When they saw the bull bringing Jian and Song Yu towards them, they immediately gathered and greeted the bull.
"Greetings, Elder"
The bull nodded and then asked them about their conditions and cultivation. After exchanging pleasantly, the bull introduced Jian and Song Yu as the trial taker.
As they heard that Jian and Song Yu were trial takers, they became hostile and immediately calmed down and greeted Jian and Song Yu.
Jian couldn't help but look at the bull, who avoided eye contact with Jian because the hull had just told him that they were guests here, and now he is feeling hostility from clan members.
The bull moved towards a bull and told him some. The small bull immigration rushed, leaving them alone. The big looked at Jian and nodded.
"we will start the trial when the clan members are gathered so you can rest and recover in top condition for the trial."
Jian and Song Yu nodded, and then they sat down and meditated. The Bulls also did the same. They stopped what they were doing and sat in the shadow of the tree.
One thing kept coming to Jian's mind, and that was that all bulls are gathered around the tree. While fighting earlier, they have destroyed a one-star Spirit fruit tree, but they were cautious around this tree.
Jian looked closely at it. He couldn't find any odd in the tree. He looked for carvings because he thought that it was sacred for the Stone horned Bulls.
After checking for a while, when he couldn't find anything through naked eyes, he immediately activated Star Gaze and looked at the tree.. As he got the information about the tree, he was shocked.
