Chapter 524: The Qi Flame Control Test (1/2)

Lin Mu held onto the jade slip and saw that it was Jiao Fang responding finally.

”I'm at the Herb Peak, the peak master is doing a competition of Qi flame control.” Jiao Fang answered.

”Qi flame control? What do you mean?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Just come over, I'll explain it. Besides, the prize for the one that is first is something that would interest you too.” Jiao Fang replied before stopping the link.

Lin Mu furrowed his brows, but then decided to go see the man who was acting strangely. Lin Mu sank into the ground and blinked his way to the herb peak. It didn't take him long to find Jiao Fang as he was standing in one of the areas near the warehouse, along with hundreds of other disciples.

He messaged Jiao Fang telling him that he was here, and the man turned around to spot him. Nudging with his eyes, he directed Lin Mu to a more secluded spot.

”So what is it that's exactly happening?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Peak master Shaoyan Qianyu had some progress in her alchemical pill refinement skills and thus she has decided to celebrate it by giving the disciples an opportunity. She is holding a tournament and those who are successful in satisfying her would get rewards.

There are many rewards corresponding to the capability displayed by the disciple. All they need to do is show their proficiency in Qi flame control and they would get ranked. The better it is the higher the rank and the reward.” Jiao Fang answered.

”What kind of rewards are there? You mentioned that it would interest me?” Lin Mu asked.

”Indeed. While there are many rewards ranging from spirit herbs to alchemical pills, the reward for the first place is what I think you would like. It is something that you have been looking for all this time… a key to the vault.” Jiao Fang answered.

”A key? Why would she give the key to any disciple? Even as a reward that would be too much.” Lin Mu said, finding it a bit ridiculous.

”Of course it's not a permanent key. Or rather I should have said it's a temporary access token. The token would allow someone to enter the vault of the herb peak once. Then once they are inside they are allowed to pick any one thing that they want.” Jiao Fang explained.

While this did pick Lin Mu's interest, he still wanted more details on this.

”Who will they determine that only one item is taken? And what is the time frame on taking the item from the vault?” Lin Mu questioned.

”The formation array of the vault will be configured such that the person can only take one item from it, no matter what. As for the time frame… there is none. It is similar to the two disciples who got the items from the vaults yesterday.” Jiao Fang explained.
