After the banquet
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Ye Mingqiu and the other two arrived at the headmaster's office, gently knocking on the door. Soon, Zheng Xuejun's voice ca from inside.
"Co in."
Upon pushing open the door, Zheng Xuejun was in the office setting up an array. Eight colorless stones placed at the eight corners of the array glowed faintly with unique mystical patterns painted with special dyes.
Tang Ruobing lowered her gaze, staring into the nearby void, not disturbing the headmaster's setup.
Broken Star: The stones on the ground are Void Spirit Stones, possessing space attributes. They're rare materials, highly valued, suitable for spacing array setups.
Broken Star: The headmaster's talent is strong, with rare space attributes. Unfortunately, its growth potential is weak; teleporting a single person a short distance is the limit. More than one person is impossible, hence the necessity to set up the array for support.
Divine Monarch: Hmm, is the headmaster's space attribute a talent ability? What's its level?
Broken Star: A-Level space system talent, though its effect is only teleportation and short-distance blink with substantial limitations. However, rare attributes have additional tier bonuses, so the final talent is deed A-Level.
Divine Monarch: Got it.
....
Soon, Zheng Xuejun finished setting up the array. After checking repeatedly, he casually wiped sweat and said with a laugh, "Next, I'll take you to an old place."
"It's the Spring of Life, isn't it?"
Feng Xinglie laughed, evidently aware of the benefits in advance.
"That's right."
Zheng Xuejun nodded, continuing, "As part of joining the college entrance exam prep team benefits, everyone gets a chance to bathe in the Spring of Life to heal injuries. The effect is good but relatively limited since that is its least important function."
His smile grew stronger as he continued, "Actually, at the core of the Spring of Life lies the gateway to a Little Spirit Realm, deeply connected with its formation, harboring great opportunities within."
"Co in, and as we walk, you mustn't wander off,"
"Mm." "Okay."
Ye Mingqiu and the two nodded, entering the array. Zheng Xuejun snapped his fingers with a smile, casting magic to activate the array. In an instant, the teleportation light enveloped the four, space transmission ripples surged, and they vanished from the spot.
....
Spring of Life
Deep within the underground cave, Zheng Xuejun calmly stood with one hand behind his back, explaining while looking at the core Spring of Life, "The entrance to the Little Spirit Realm is at the deepest point of the Spring of Life, only accessible by Tier One Spiritualists. Tier Two Spiritualists cannot enter; forced entry leads to direct obliteration."
"According to reports, inside the Little Spirit Realm there is an extrely high concentration of Life Force, capable of healing bodily damage and improving constitution even by doing nothing."
"However, Tier One Spiritualists, due to low levels, easily enter a Spiritual Poisoning state inside. Hence, there's a limited ti for Spiritualists to remain, retreating before severe toxicity sets in."
"At its center is a tall tower. Head straight there, don't hesitate, win the trial tower challenge, and gain Spirit Realm recognition and experience, quickly leveling up. If the challenge levels are high enough, you might earn even rarer rewards."
"Challenge with all your might!"
"Very well, off you go! Safe journey!"
Zheng Xuejun waved with a smile.
"Alright."
Tang Ruobing nodded first, pulling Ye Mingqiu to jump into the Spring of Life directly, while Feng Xinglie followed decisively, yet Ye Mingqiu felt sowhat confused.
Are we going just like this?
No further inquiry into specifics?
Broken Star: Hurry down; if any issues arise, I'll tell you, but Old Zheng will puke again if you linger.
Divine Monarch: ?
Divine Monarch: Again?
Broken Star: Offer him so dignity; don't disclose openly, just pretend not to know.
Divine Monarch: Okay.
Watching them leave, Zheng Xuejun let out a heavy breath of relief, but soon, a nausea he couldn't suppress engulfed. He walked to the wall, skillfully pulling out a black plastic bag.
"Ugh!"
....
Deep within the Spring of Life
The high concentration of spiritual energy ford lake water, its depths containing a jet-black door, inscribed with ancient language inscriptions on the stone tablet at the entrance.
"Such high spiritual energy concentration."
Feng Xinglie frowned slightly, feeling so discomfort now, knowing this was just the periphery of the Little Spirit Realm.
Feeling discomfort at the Little Spirit Realm's edge, it's hard to imagine the sensations upon entry and how soon one might experience Spiritual Poisoning.
This is too much!
The concentration of spiritual energy here is overly high!
Nether less, I must perform purification skills regularly, adjusting my condition, or else soon, Spiritual Poisoning will force to leave early.
"What's this inscription, do you know?"
Ye Mingqiu casually approached the stone tablet, touching his chin, scrutinizing the text, and asked Tang Ruobing beside him.
"No idea, likely so ancient text, few can read it," Tang Ruobing responded.
"Mm."
Ye Mingqiu nodded in agreent.
He felt the text on the stone tablet seed familiar, like he'd seen sothing similar before, though it wasn't a strong familiarity. What he'd observed before was probably a similar text type, not the sa script.
Trials... Ancient text...
