If players ask Smiling Mountain about practice fights, he will say that players cannot challenge the sparring record Kia Min recently took from them until she is able to fight again. If players want the opportunity to win Smiling Mountain's prize, they would need to talk to Kia Min and see if there is a way to help mend her wound. Alternatively, players can gain the quest simply by talking to Kia Min directly, without having been directed to her by Smiling Mountain. Either way, Kia Min will say that she vaguely remembers a herb which would be of use to her, and asks that the player talk to Old Ming on the beach to see if he knows of it.
