Chapter 104: Vein Flow Calculation Method
At the summit of the largest mountain within The Great Trial of Water Crest, there laid a simple lone hut. If one were to venture inside, they wouldn’t find the typical interior of a structure. Instead, they would find themselves in a world of yellow clouds and purple skies. The clouds stretched across the horizon as far as the eye could see. Even the ground itself was made up of these same clouds.
The entire expanse was empty except for three small glowing orbs of light that floated frantically about. They differed in color, consisting of orange, blue, and green.
Most people would believe it was some sort of Qi art or phenomenon, but in reality, they were the artifact spirits of the mountain that were in charge of the trials.
The artifact spirits were currently panicking. It was a rare sight to see them troubled, as they could view everything that went on within its grounds. Little fazed the experienced artifact spirits, which meant they noticed something unprecedented.
They eventually stopped flying around aimlessly and fell into the clouds below. In an instant, three teenaged figures appeared in their place. It was their habit dating back to a time when their master was still alive, transforming into a humanoid form whenever they discussed something serious.
“What do we do? What do we do, green? At this rate, we will run out of energy entirely in a few years,” a teenage boy in orange robes asked with a frown, pulling on his companion in green.
“Get off me! Why are you asking me? I know as much as you do!”
“...If only we could control the pocket realm to start absorbing the Qi from the outside world. Then we wouldn’t be having this problem.”
“Shut up, Orange! You know that’s impossible without someone controlling us. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t changed my mind and I won’t change it. I will never yield to anyone else as our master!”
“Now, now, you two. Settle down. I’m sure Orange didn’t mean to say we should find a new master. We all swore to only serve our one true master for the rest of eternity.” The only female of the three mediated as she inspected her blue robes. “Since we do not know the root cause, we must remain vigilant while monitoring the new challengers even more closely.”
