Chapter 131 - Third Trial

Jian and Song Yu have planted the herbs in front of the wall. They are now waiting for the herbs to be verified and complete the second trial. They had only spent a few minutes as they have already harvested the herbs. 

Jian and Song Yu kept looking at them. In a few minutes the whole room lit up and the herbs which they had planted disappeared from their position. 

They knew that the verification process was going on so they didn't panic. After a few minutes, the words on the wall changed.

"Congratulations on completing the second trial. Now you are allowed to take the third trial. 

The reward for completing the trial is five different elements beasts cores of three-star beasts."

Jian and Song Yu didn't have any doubts that they would fail to complete the trial. So when the Congratulating word appeared on the wall. There was no change in their expression but when they read about the rewards both were shocked. 

Because of you compare the herbs and the beast's core. The beast core is of higher value and higher grade. Jian and Song Yu had not expected to gain such a reward.

After calming down Jian waved his hand the beast's cores disappeared and both of them then started to walk towards the exit. Now they were going to the third trial cave.

In ten minutes they were outside. Then they started to follow the route which led to the top of the mountain and the third cave.

In a few minutes, they reached the third cave and directly went inside. The cave was similar to the first two caves and they had to follow a similar route to reach the trial room.

Again after walking for ten minutes straight, they were standing in front of the wall. They were waiting to get the instructions for the third trial. 

In a few minutes the room lit up and the words started to appear on the wall.

"Congratulations on clearing the second trail. Get ready for the next trial. 

For the third trial, you have to go back to the mountain and search for twenty different ores of a similar grade.

You have to carefully mine them and then bring back to the cave and then again put them in front of the wall.

If you have mined the ores successfully then you will clear the third trial. The rewards for the third trial will be weapon design 

If you are unsuccessful in completing the trial. Then you would have to wait for forty hours and again start by retaking the first trial. 

For the trial, you will be given a map that would show various locations to mine the ores. But memorize the map carefully because it will only appear for a few minutes. 

After reading the instructions wait for the map to be shown on the wall.

For this trial, you will only have six hours and the time will start whenever you leave the cave.

Best of luck "

Jian and Song Yu had not expected to get such a trial. While climbing the mountain they have only focused on the herbs and the beasts. So they didn't know about the ores.

So this time they had to climb down the mountain and search for the ores using the map. And return to the cave in six hours. 

After they were done reading the wall they didn't remove their attention from the wall. They were waiting for the words to disappear and the map to appear on the wall.

They didn't have to wait for a long time in a few minutes the words disappeared and a map appeared on the wall. Jian didn't have a focus for a long time, with the help of the system he immediately memorizes the whole in a few seconds. 

Song Yu was still focusing on memorizing the map. As it was told the map disappeared in two minutes. Song Yu immediately cursed and Jian immediately knew that she was not able to memorize the whole map.

Now that they have gotten their instructions and map. They started to head outside. While moving Jian informed her that he had memorized the map so don't need to worry. 

Song Yu was finally able to relax. After coming outside the cave Jian immediately checked the map and found twenty different locations for mining. He immediately found the route for the nearest one and led Song Yu with him.

It took only twenty minutes to reach the location. After reaching the location Jian and Song Yu were shocked because it was guarded by the peak Two Star beasts.

As of now, the beast was sleeping but Jian and Song Yu knew that as long as they get near the location it will immediately attack. 

Even though it was the peak two-star beast. Jian didn't have any problem killing it. So he told Song Yu to wait and took out his three-star Saber and rushed towards the beast.

As the beasts felt Jian coming towards him. It woke up and also attacked Jian and the beast collide in the mid-air. But the beast was thrown on the ground. 

Because when Jian attacked he had used his full strength and the beast was immediately injured. Jian didn't give it the time to stand and directly pierced the Saber in its heart. The beast was dead. 

Sing Yu saw everything happening and she was shocked. Although she knew that Jian's cultivation was equal to the beast but didn't expect the fight to be over in only a few moves.

She moved toward Jian and directly went inside the small cave to start the mining. They have already decided on the work so Jian didn't stop her. He looked carefully at the beast. The first thought was to harvest it but since the uncommon trials, Jian took the whole carcass and stored it in the inventory. 

He also went inside the cave to help Song Yu. In a few minutes, they came outside and then started to move towards the next location of the mine.

It has been five hours since they started the third trial. Now they are returning to the cave to verify the ores and complete the third trial. 

It took them five hours to go to all twenty locations and mine the ores for the trial. Every location was guarded by the beasts. The strength of the beasts was at Peak Two Star. So all the beasts were killed by Jian. 

The mining of the ores was done by Song Yu while Jian took care of the beasts guarding the locations of the mine.

The killing of the beasts didn't take much of their time. They wasted their time by going from one location to other locations for the mining. 

Each location was at least more than ten minutes away and sometimes they had to avoid the beasts on the route so most of the time was spent on reaching the destination. 

And to top that they last location was at least an hour away from the cave so it took more time to mine.

Jian and Song Yu were returning from mining the last location. They have gathered twenty different ores abs were rushing back to the third cave. 

Jian had kept all beasts carcass inside the inventory. Because he had to be prepared for the further trials. 

In a half-hour, they reached the cave. They had rushed towards the cave so they were able to reach there in half hours. Now the only half-hour is remaining for the trial to end. 

They didn't stop and directly went inside the cave and in five minutes they were standing in front of the wall. Jian didn't wait and waved his hand and the ores appeared and immediately the room lit up. 

The process was extremely fast as compared to before. In a few, minutes the room was back in the previous condition. A scroll appeared where Jian had put the ores and words started to appear on the wall.

"Congratulations on completing the third trial. Now you are allowed to go to the fourth trial cave for further trials. 

The reward for completing this trial is a weapon design  "

Jian immediately moved towards the scroll and picked it up. The design was of a sword. But Jian was not able to find anything else aside from that. He even used Star Gaze on the scroll and was not able to find anything. 

He frowned but then he kept it in the inventory. Then they started to leave the cave. After coming outside they didn't move forward but sat down and started to recover their Qi. 

In the last trial, they have been exhausted. They had to do many things in only six hours so they were exhausted. They both sat down and Song Yu ate the Qi Returning Pill and started to recover.

They have completed the three trials. One thing that Jian understood was that something was wrong with the trials. But he couldn't put his finger on it. So he kept it aside and focused on recovering.
