Chapter 2168 Recovery And Reward

Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, the others also glanced at Qiao De who was quite obviously not fine.

From the initial look, it was clear that he was missing a few teeth and blood also seemed to be dripping out of his nose that was slightly crooked.

"Uh… Qiao De, you should take a look at yourself." Ziran spoke, waving his hand and creating a formation screen that acted like a mirror.

The merchant couldn't help but look and saw his state.

"Ah… Much better than I thought." He said, to everyone's surprise. "I had expected to break a few bones too. But just a few broken teeth and a nose are fine." He added.

His nonchalance seemed strange to them, but then they saw him taking out a bottle of pills.

"Nothing a few of these can't fix," Qiao De said before downing the entire bottle of pills.

~GULP~

It wasn't hard for them to recognize that these were healing pills. It looked quite opulent that the man was consuming so many of them at once.

But when Lin Mu took a closer look, he realized what the pills were.

'Tooth to Tail all purpose pills?' Lin Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Aren't those… Spirit pills?" he said out loud.

"Yes, but they still work." Qiao De replied. "All these only cost a tenth of a normal immortal healing pill." He explained.

Lady Kang who heard the man, couldn't help but marvel at his frugality.

'You win this time, Qiao De.' She had to admit the man's sense for saving was greater than her in this instance.

With everyone mostly fine, Lin Mu finally got to checking the area that they were in.

"Where are we?" Daoist Chu asked after having eaten a low potency healing pill as well.

"We're in the Void still." Lady Kang said, sensing the faint spatial disturbances in the area.

"Wait… Did the trial completion message appear?" Crown Prince Feng Shun questioned.

"It hasn't… yet," Ziran answered. "Was that another obstacle too?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. This is still part of the trial… or at least the end of it." Lin Mu answered, having checked the area.

With his spatial sense he could see the boundaries of this platform, as well as the invisible arrays that were keeping it contained. It was these very arrays that were keeping the Death Aura outside, as well as preventing the turbulent spatial disturbance of the void from harming them.

The platform they were on was perfectly square and was made out of rock which was further reinforced by other arrays. If it had not be reinforced, it would have shattered under the impact of ten immortals that were travailing at a breakneck speed.

At the center of the platform, a pentagonal pedestal could be seen. It was some distance from where they had landed and was the only thing that stood out.

'That should be the control center,' Lin Mu guessed and walked towards it.

He could sense the faint immortal Qi waves coming from it that matched the arrays and confirmed his guess.

"Hmm… Nothing on it." Lin Mu didn't find any obvious carvings or writing on it.

~SHUA~

But when he touched it, he made it activate. The pedestal glowed and several runes appeared on it. The runes floated up and turned into a formation screen above it.

'Trial of Versatility has been completed!' The runes spelled.

"NOW IT ENDS!?" Crown Princess Shang couldn't help but groan. "It keeps on letting us on without a clue."

"Shouldn't we be in a rewards ground then?" Monk Hushu reminded.

"Indeed…" Crown Prince furrowed his brows and looked around, finding nothing that seemed like a reward.

"The reward is indeed here." Lin Mu spoke up. "Come here, everyone." He requested.

Hearing that, everyone quickly gathered around, wondering what he was talking about.

"Place your hands on it." Lin Mu said, having already read through the information in the pedestal.

~SHUA~SHUA~

The others did as told and instantly felt the effects.

~HUMM~

Energy channeled out of the pedestal and entered their bodies.

"This… Immortal Qi?" Daoist Chu was surprised by it.

"Give it bit," Lin Mu said before they started to feel it too. "There we go."

"Vitality and Immoral essence?" Crown Prince Feng Shun could feel his injuries healing.

While they were mostly minor, it was still good for them to be healed. And once they were healed, the extra vitality left him feeling refreshed and energetic.

The same happened for the others too, as their injuries healed.

"Ah damn… Should have held off on the pills." Qiao De regretted using the pills so fast. "I could've saved them for later." He stated.

The others couldn't help but wrinkle their brows at the man's frugality, but didn't say anything about it.

"Though it is this all there is to the reward?" Qiao De couldn't help but ask. "Healing us is good and all, but it doesn't compare to the other rewards we've gotten so far." He added.

"Give it a minute." Lin Mu said before closing his eyes.

~HUMM~

And sure enough, a few seconds after Lin Mu said that everyone felt a strong surge of Immortal Qi.

The immortal Qi first topped of their own stores, bringing them back to their peak. But it didn't stop just there, it continued to pour and GREW their immortal Qi stores.

"THIS!?" Crown Prince Feng Shun was stunned, as even high quality immortal pills couldn't help him much with growing his immortal Qi stores.

He had used a lot of them and had to rely on manual cultivation to grow them. But now here they were being increased without a hindrance.

Lady Kang was surprised too, as she had long since been at a bottleneck for that.

"HAHA! THIS IS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT!" Qiao De's attitude flipped 180 as he became indescribably happy. "This is at least a few hundred thousand immortal stones worth of Qi!"

With such a good and effective reward, everyone focused on absorbing the Immortal Qi, ensuring that no problems arose.
