Fan Yuqing really did not lie to Ji Yuan and his Green Faction about the stone page.
After a day of navigating through the city blocks, they had found the stone page inside one of the ruined buildings.
A stone monument stood in front of them and there was also a black stele to explain its use.
The cultivators from the Green Faction were all excited and they all had a sigh of relief when they saw the stone page.
Finally they could receive a relic of the Fallen Gods Relic!
Many of the first time cultivators including Ji Yuan and his personal party were soon touching the black stele for further instructions.
It was precisely as Silver Holy Maiden Qin Shuang had told him; there were several hidden rules for the trial that were not known until the cultivators could touch the black stele. For example, killing the Number 404 by the opposing cultivator can gain the opposing faction an Escape Talisman.
Xiao Muhan was laughing to Ji Yuan, "Hahaha. This is my first Fallen Gods Relic."
Ji Yuan laughed as he asked back, "So how many times have you failed?"
Xiao Muhan: …
"Do you have to ask me such a personal question?"
Ji Yuan frowned immediately, "In what way is this a personal question?"
Xiao Muhan hummed coldly, "You're such an insensitive person."
Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue were all giggling softly when they had heard Xiao Muhan.
"Yea! He has always been insensitive." Ling Feiyue chuckled.
Ji Yuan protested immediately, "You can eat the wrong food but you can't say the wrong words…"
"When you've made me cry, are you being sensitive or insensitive?" Ling Feiyue pointed out.
"And you can even fool around behind our backs." Little Princess added.
Ji Yuan pretended not to hear them as he pulled Xiao Muhan closer to him, "You know. Let's put this aside first. You know I've always been a sensitive person…"
"You mean when you are counting spirit stones and did not want to pay for your share of the tabs?" Xiao Muhan frowned.
"Indeed, you're really sensitive when it comes to money."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes as he muttered softly, "Can't you all focus on the trial instead? We're in the middle of a trial, you know. Be serious."
"He just doesn't want his awkward past to be mentioned in front of so many cultivators." Xiao Muhan laughed.
Yun Chi said quietly, "So what are you waiting for? Go on and place your signet ring on the stone page."
It was not only Yun Chi that was wishing that Ji Yuan could quickly touched the stone page with his signet ring but all the cultivators as well.
Even Fan Yuqing and Lu Qingyun.
Fan Yuqing smiled, "You should quickly complete this trial so that we can party again when we are all back at the Red Mansion."
Just as Ji Yuan took a step forward toward the stone page, he had suddenly halted his step. "I'll like to try something first."
Everyone: ???
Ji Yuan began to rub his chin for a while as he inspected the stone page from different direction and he even gave the stone page a strong kick.
Xiao Muhan quickly stopped him with a big growl, "Brother Ji Yuan, what are you doing? What if you've destroyed this stone page and cause us to fail the trial?"
Ji Yuan chuckled, "I'm just testing if it is a solid or can even be moved from the same spot. Don't worry, it won't be damaged so easily since this is a trial objective."
Ling Feiyue muttered, "You will never know, you know. Maybe under your mighty kick, it will break apart."
Little Princess, Yu Jingjing and Shui Xisi were all nodding too.
By now, they had already known that Ji Yuan had just become the first 8th realm cultivator.
Ling Feiyue urged Ji Yuan, "Hurry and get done over it. We don't want any accidents to happen along the way."
Ji Yuan frowned, "What accident will happen? Don't jinx me. Moreover it is only for a few extra minutes."
Shui Xisi suggested with a wryly smile, "Maybe the Death God Mingwang is hiding nearby, just waiting for you to appear before assassinating you."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He resisted the temptation to look in the direction of Yun Chi because she did not know yet that he had already known her true identity as the Death God Mingwang.
But he could hear Yun Chi soft giggling.
He was silently cursing; Yun Chi, do you know that this giggle of yours has already exposed yourself that you are linked to the Death God Mingwang. Never mind, I'm a gentleman of the sword so I won't expose you or to screw you in front of the others. But privately, I like to screw you…
"Ji Yuan, why are you being so cautious for?" Little Princess asked.
Ling Feiyue heaved a soft sigh, "He is always like this. He did worse things when I am alone with him in another trial previously."
Yu Jingjing said with an envious look, "How I wish that I know Ji Yuan earlier and is able to be in the same trial as he is."
Ling Feiyue smiled weakly, "You won't enjoy it because you will probably vomit blood several times."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Am I really this horrible that I can cause you to vomit blood several times…
But he quickly said, "I'm going to test something first."
Everyone: ???
Ji Yuan said, "Feiyue is 77, Little Princess is 3, Qianfeng is 200, Sisi is 106, Maiden Feng Minyue is 12, Jingjing is 5, Yun Chi is 1. The seven of you adds up to 404 nicely. So I want the seven of you to touch the stone page with me."
Then he turned to look at the two hundred surviving cultivators, "In additional, I want assemble another 404 from among the rest of the cultivators. So who wants to volunteer?"
Xiao Muhan frowned, "Did you read the black stele already? Forming the Number 404 and touching the stone page will make us lose one Escape Talisman. Are you thinking of getting three Fallen Gods Relic from the stone page? Let me tell you, it won't work because it isn't mention that you can from the black stele. Only one Fallen God Relic can be obtained per Greed Island Trial."
Ji Yuan laughed, "No harm trying."
Many of the cultivators were laughing at Ji Yuan;
"Is he nuts?"
"Just hurry and be done with the trial so that we can restart again."
"He is just wasting our time here."
"I believe in you." A sweet voice had suddenly said and Qin Shuang had stepped forward. "My number is 300."
Ji Yuan laughed, "That is a good number!"
Qin Shuang: ???
Xiang Li asked in his soul sea, "Because it resonates with the 300 Spartans?"
Ji Yuan frowned to Xiang Li, "No, because my good friend Xiao Muhan here has the number 104."
He quickly patted Xiao Muhan, "I know that your number is 104. So you gonna help me."
Xiao Muhan: …
Xiao Muhan: …
Xiao Muhan: …
He began to mutter while cursing Ji Yuan, "Why do I have a friend like you…what bad luck to know you…you didn't apologize to me when you force me to be on the run…"
Although he was unwilling in his speech but he had already followed Qin Shuang as they stepped forward to the stone page to assist Ji Yuan with his 'bright idea'.
After all, Ji Yuan was his best friend no matter what even though they often had their fierce arguments.
Ji Yuan laughed as he said, "On my count of 3, we shall all touch the stone page together."
Fan Yuqing rolled her eyes, "While this looks fun but this isn't going to work."
Ji Yuan laughed as he began to count, "1…2…2 ½…"
Everyone: …
"What are you doing?" Xiao Muhan frowned. "Are you trying to trick some of us to lose our Escape Talisman in this manner?"
Ling Feiyue, Shui Xisi: …
"Ji Yuan, what are you doing…"
Yun Chi smiled pleasantly, "Maybe I should volunteer to do the counting instead?"
Ji Yuan protested weakly, "I was only trying to ensure that we are all touching it on the count of 3."
Then he laughed, "Let's restart the count again. Haha."
Little Princess muttered, "My lord, you've better don't do a 2 ½ count again."
"Or a 1 and ½ count." Bai Qianfeng frowned.
Ji Yuan smiled weakly when he saw everyone's expressions.
The cultivators behind Ji Yuan were all laughing nonstop at Ji Yuan's antics and comedic actions.
Ji Yuan mustered his voice as he counted again, "Ready, 1…2…3…"
At which everyone began to put their signet rings on the stone page at the same time.
All of a sudden there was a brilliant light from the stone page and everyone saw three Fallen Gods Relic flying into the signet rings of Ji Yuan, Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing, Feng Minyue, Yun Chi, Qin Shuang and Xiao Muhan.
The rest of the cultivators were all startled when they saw the 3 Fallen Gods Relic.
"There is really 3 Fallen Gods Relics…"
"What is going on?"
"This…isn't supposed to be happening…"
"How come they are the ones that are receiving the Fallen Gods Relic? What about us…"
The trial voice echoed loudly from above, "Because you've triggered a hidden special condition of the trial, you shall receive 3 Fallen Gods Relic instead of just 1. However, this special condition only rewards only those that are touching the stone page. As for the rest, no Fallen Gods Relic will be rewarded."
When the trial voice had finished speaking, Ji Yuan and the rest that had touched the stone page with their signet rings had vanished in a brilliant flash of light as they were forcefully returned to the Red Mansion.
The rest of cultivators were left in a state of startled confusion and many had regretted that they did not step forward earlier to assist Ji Yuan's request.
Even Fan Yuqing was left in a startled surprise, "Hey, this isn't fun for you to complete this trial alone…"
Lu Qingyun smiled weakly to Fan Yuqing, "I guess that we have to do it the hard way again."
