Brook of clarity

Before the early rays of the sun hit, Yang Qing was already wide awake. 

"Thanks.." he said as he gently patted the trunk of the green flame tree. Its leaves swayed, with green flames around, almost as if in response to his gratitude.

"It seems it won't be long now before your budding spirit fully forms and you undergo your spirit-forming tribulation. 

I can't wait.." Yang Qing muttered in expectation as he cast one last look at the tree, and then took out the blue tear-shaped stone that he had been given by the Judicial Review Committee, to help him get in the Requited Blissful Peak.

Prior to yesterday, Yang Qing didn't know about the peak, but in terms of facilities around the Order, that did the same thing as the peak, he knew of a few. The tribulation mountain, where they went to break through, had special places, to help strengthen the mind, before the onset of their tribulation to increase their odds of success in surviving it.
