——(POV third person)——

Li Huang moved toward the new structure that he found on his map, it only took him a couple of minutes to get there. When he reached his destination, what he found wasn't really a structure, it was a small box.

Li Huang caught the box with his hands and looked at it for a few seconds. The box itself was a high-grade medicine box that one would use for herbs that are too precious, so Li Huang was more interested in the contents of this box.

He decided to open the box to take a peek at this treasure. Slowly opening the box, as to not damage it, Li Huang looked at the herb with [Peeking eye of heaven] just to make sure that he can detect it but what he saw was so well-known that Li Huang wouldn't even need a hint.

The moment he know what this herb was, Li Huang sealed the box and put it in his storage ring. This was one of his great finds in this trial even when you consider the [Soul splitting scripture].

This herb is called [Phoenix Ash]. It does not really have anything to do with a Phoenix but they still call it this way. The conditions for this herb to grow are so strict that one can only hope to find them and you can not cultivate them. The only fact that is known about it is that it can be found in the soils that were created and nurtured by flowing lava, other than that little is known about how one grows them so it is more like fate to find one.

When these herbs mature they slowly turn into ash, hence the name [Phoenix Ash]. This herb is very important if one wants to improve in the law of fire.

And Li Huang knows someone who is practicing this law.

"Old man, you are really lucky." Li Huang said with a grin. The old man that Li Huang was talking about was obviously his grandpa, Li Long.

The reason for grandpa Long's deep sleep is the rarity of herbs like this so now that Li Huang not only has this herb but has the oil lamp that he found at the beginning of the trial, the old man can really get back to training.

Li Huang was happy for his grandpa but suddenly remembered something.

'Wait a minute, if grandpa gets stronger, won't I get beaten more in training?' Li Huang shuddered at the thought. He was really glad that he is now much stronger and he can train while sustaining fewer bruises but if grandpa Long get stronger too it won't change anything.

'No, he will be training himself so there will be less training for me.' Li Huang nodded to himself sagely and didn't hesitate anymore about the herb and tried to find something else as he sent out a pulse of Qi sense.

He also didn't forget to leave a random item here. He continued his search for the meaning of this test and possibly more treasures.

Li Huang found one more herb in his next location but it wasn't as rare as the last one, still, it was there so he stored it in his personal collection.

He continued his search and located 23 more items but not a clue about the test and it was slowly affecting his mental health.

'Maybe I have to collect all the treasures.' Li Huang thought. Based on this he decided to collect whatever he can find here. Well, he didn't have any other options as things stood.

More than a week passed from that time and Li Huang was still searching for a clue about the test. Somewhere along with his search, he found a flying treasure so he didn't have to use any more scrolls to move around and could use his Qi directly, that is the good news but the bad news is that everything he found was emptiness and occasional treasures.

In the beginning, he was really afraid because time was passing and he didn't know how Hu Anjing and others were, but when he hit the one week mark in this test , he relaxed for the first time in a while.

Why? Because less than a week is remaining from the trial so if he is here for more than a week it can only mean one thing, time in this space moves slower. No matter where you are in the trial you will get ejected in a month so it wouldn't make sense for him to be here.

'Now that I think about it, this makes sense because Han Junhui wasn't someone that would die just because he was in this place for a month.' Li Huang thought and found this very plausible for Han Junhui to be trapped here for years…

'—for years.' Li Huang thought. He didn't let this discourage him as he know that no matter how long he is here, his body won't age— just like Han Junhui's body.

'Well, for the best treasure in this formation, it is a hell of a test…' Li Huang could only think that the reward would be worth the hassle.

Many weeks passed from that time and now it was exactly two years and seven months and twenty-five days that Li Huang was in this test. He was very close to giving up multiple times but as a certified hoarder, he would gain energy each time he found a treasure and there were a lot of treasures here which mostly consist of herbs and other alchemical ingredients.

Luckily for him, his paranoia helped him here as he had everything in his multiple storage rings to make this time here less tedious.

He persevered and he finally found it! A white portal on the edge of this huge space.

'Found you, you piece of shit!' Li Huang couldn't be happier as his efforts bore fruit in the end. He wouldn't find this if it wasn't for the [Bird Eye] map as the portal wouldn't bounce back his Qi sense but the portal was pretty obvious on the map.

"Not gonna lie, I won't miss this place." Li Huang didn't hesitate to step into the portal the moment he stood in front of it. He knew he stayed here too long when he started missing grandpa Long's training sessions…

Stepping outside of the portal what he come to see was a small room. The moment he got out of the portal, it closed and Li Huang couldn't go back, not that he wanted to.

"Ah! Colors!" Li Huang said over dramatically. As he had many items on him he wasn't as miserable as one might think but the lack of human interaction was still there…

The only thing in the room was a table with a ring on it. He didn't think twice and activated the [Peeping eye of heaven] as it was his routine these past years.

What he saw and the information that he got from the peeping eye of heaven made him forget the bitterness of the two-year search for this item.

"Holy mother of god!"
