After a fierce battle, Zhang Yan's life once again returned to the calm and boring cultivation. He still adopted the previous method－strengthening the effect of Cloud Spiritual Grass through the Increasing Figure－to improve his cultivation speed.
Time flies, he had been cultivating for ten days, during which, he worked hard to improve his cultivation. Since he had just broken through the present level, his cultivation grew slowly and the bottleneck of this level still hid itself. But he was patient, after all, more haste, less speed, and he had to consolidate his foundation. He believes that he will reach the top in the future.
On the tenth-day evening, when he just stopped practicing and walked out to enjoy the beautiful sunset and sooth his mood, Qin Shiyan came with a smile, "Follow me, everyone is waiting for you!"
"Where to go?" he asked.
She was a little confused, "No one inform you? There will be the full moon tonight and we are going to the Mingxin Spring."
He shook his head, "I have been cultivating in the room and no one has notified me."
"Well, never mind! Let's go!" She took him to the gate of the school.
The one must be deliberate to not inform Zhang Yan. He intended to figure it out, "Do you know who is responsible for the informing?"
"The Big Elder. But he is busy of something and not in school these days. I don't know whom he handed this matter to."
"Fortunately, Brother Tian Hai and I think of you. We who participated in the contest all have a quota to practice in the spring."
He didn't respond, but had already known who was against him. Except for Su Jiang, no one else would dare to do this. He kept this thing in mind and would revenge someday.
They arrived at the gate and Tian Hai and the other disciple were indeed waiting for him. Tian Ha smiled, "You have finally arrived. We thought that you would not come."
Zhang Yan responded with a smile, "Sorry to let you wait!"
"Hump, do you think you are an elder? How dare you let us wait for so long!" Su Jiang snorted.
Zhang Yan replied, "Sorry! But I did not mean to be late."
"Oh? So why? Tell us! " Tian Hai asked.
"I don't know who is the fool, responsible for informing me. He didn't tell me to go to Mingxin Spring today. He must be busy with the funeral arrangements for his family, so he forgot about me... "Zhang Yan abused.
"You!" Su Jiang was irritated and pointed to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan immediately added, "Why you look so angry, Brother Su Jiang? Are you the one I mention?"
Su Jiang just wanted to talk and Tian Hai replied quickly, "We are all schoolmates, don't be so serious! Since we are all here now, just let it go!"
"Of course, Brother Tian Hai. I will not be angry with a dog."
Su Jiang was so angry but he could not admit he deliberately ignored Zhang Yan. He could only curse Zhang Yan in his heart.
Tian Hai laughed, "Well, let's go to the Mingxin Spring."
A group of three men and two girls were moving toward the Qingming Peak along the wandering path. Passing the lush forest at the foot of the hill, they arrived at the Mingxin Spring on the top.
As a newcomer, Zhang Yan was not familiar with the Mingxin Spring. Tian Hai had been telling its magical function to him.
"Mingxin River is turbulent. It flows through the intersection of Qingming school and our Qingyuan school and is the boundary between the schools. Its source is at the top of the Qingming Peak, where a natural spring named Mingxin Spring existed."
"It has a history of thousands of years. the stream of trickles flows through the mountain and is gathered into a majestic river, parting our two schools from the middle, as a sharp knife.
"The water from the spring has a magical effect of purifying bodies and spiritual roots. Although the effect is not big, for the warriors, a pretty small improvement of their physique and spiritual roots will be greatly beneficial, since they are born with and can't be changed. The better the purification effect, the deeper in the spring, but the more pressure. So, most warriors cannot resist this kind of pressure and can't enter deeper."
Zhang Yan was curious, "This Mingxin Spring is so amazing, is it because there are any treasures in it?"
"We have thought about this as well and the elders have searched in it. But no one is able to go deep, even if the Master can only enter 10 meters deep. So, no one knows what is in it.
Zhang Yan made up his mind to figure out the treasure on his own.
The Elder Qin had been guarding the spring. He greeted them with a smile, "You are quite early! It's still a long time before the darkness!"
Qin Shiyan ran to him and hugged his arm, "We come earlier to company you and to familiarize with this Mingxin Spring."
The Mingxin Spring was quite different from Zhang Yan's imagination. He thought that it was just a small spring with a trickle flowing out. But it turned out to be more like a lake! It occupied most area of the top of Qingming Peak. In the center of the lake, there was a stream of water rolling over. It is the eye of Mingxin Spring.
