  "textContent": "A Wellspring of Hope is a Jianghu Legacy quest in Hexi, centered on Horsehelm Village and a long cave route built around Cosmic Reversal.\n\n**Quick answer:** To complete A Wellspring of Hope, track it in your Journal, go to the oasis in Horsehelm Village in Jade Gate Pass, clear the well and cave path with Cosmic Reversal, restore the oil lamp, then speak with Xiaosheng outside.\n\n* * *\n\n### A Wellspring of Hope unlock requirements\n\nRequirement | Details\n---|---\nQuest type | Jianghu Legacy, Volume 03\nRegion | Jade Gate Pass, Hexi\nStarting area | Horsehelm Village oasis\nNeeded to unlock | Talk to the Wayfarer of Jade Gate Pass\nKey skill used | Cosmic Reversal\n\nThe quest marker appears near Horsehelm Village. Once the quest is tracked, ride to the oasis at the center of Jade Gate Pass and activate the Horsehelm Village Boundary Stone if you have not done that already.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\n* * *\n\n### A Wellspring of Hope quest route\n\n**Step 1:** Enter Horsehelm Village and approach the oasis. The scene shifts as you move in, and the large flower ahead pulls you into the next part of the quest.\n\n**Step 2:** Move through the camp sequence and interact with the waterskin at the marker. Speak through the dialogue until the option to sleep appears, which advances the quest to the next day.\n\nInteract with the waterskin at the marker | __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\n**Step 3:** Find Xiaosheng the next day near the wagon to the northeast. Use Cosmic Reversal on the damaged well, then descend carefully by landing on the platforms below.\n\nFind Xiaosheng the next day near the wagon to the northeast | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\n* * *\n\n### How to get through the well and first cave section\n\n**Step 1:** At the bottom of the well, keep moving past the spike-shooting flowers and use Cosmic Reversal on the rubble blocking the path. The goal here is only to open the route forward.\n\n**Step 2:** Cross the broken bridge section by restoring it with Cosmic Reversal. Move quickly after the bridge returns, because it only stays usable for a short time.\n\nCross the broken bridge section by restoring it with Cosmic Reversal | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\n**Step 3:** Slide down the sandy tunnel and keep pushing deeper into the cave. Repair the damaged wooden structure with Cosmic Reversal so you can climb up and continue.\n\n**Step 4:** In the next lower area, bring up the lift with Cosmic Reversal and jump onto it. While you are exposed, block or avoid the spikes from the flowers around the pit.\n\n**Step 5:** At the top, clear the next rubble barrier and continue outside. Defeat the two skeletal flower enemies there, then lift the debris at the next entrance to open the passage.\n\nYou will face two skeletal flower enemies outside | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\n* * *\n\n### The raised platform puzzle\n\n**Step 1:** In the room that looks like a dead end, stand on the broken wooden platform nearest the wall, close to the Cosmic Reversal prompt. This is the correct piece of wood for the lift sequence.\n\n**Step 2:** Use Cosmic Reversal while staying on the platform and stop when it reaches ledge height. If you keep the effect going too long, the platform rises past the safe point and can drop you.\n\nUse Cosmic Reversal while staying on the platform and stop when it reaches ledge height | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\n* * *\n\n### How to finish the deeper cave path\n\n**Step 1:** Restore the collapsed ground with Cosmic Reversal and cross to the other side. Run past the silhouettes and head into the tunnel with bright fog.\n\n⚠️\n\nIf you fall into the large hole in this section, use the Unstuck option in Settings to return to your last checkpoint.\n\n**Step 2:** Keep following the quest route until the collapsing platform fight begins. Defeat all enemies in that room before trying to move on.\n\n**Step 3:** After the fight, use Cosmic Reversal on the rubble to expose a hole in the ground. Drop down to return to a familiar lower section of the cave.\n\n**Step 4:** Rebuild the climbable structure again and move back through the lift area. Continue until the path sends you down another sandy slide.\n\nContinue until the path sends you down another sandy slide | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Restore the oil lamp\n\n**Step 1:** Clear the last debris with Cosmic Reversal and move into the chamber with the large central rock formation. Climb the hanging rope to the top.\n\n**Step 2:** Sit in front of the two figures and wait for the dialogue scene to finish. The lamp interaction appears after that sequence ends.\n\n**Step 3:** Use Cosmic Reversal on the oil lamp and wait until you can pick it up. Once the lamp is in your hands, the quest has moved into its final stretch.\n\nSit in front of the two figures and wait for the dialogue scene to finish | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\n* * *\n\n### How the quest ends\n\n**Step 1:** Leave the cave through the passage ahead while carrying the oil lamp. On the way out, you will see scenes tied to Horsehelm Village and its struggle over water.\n\n**Step 2:** Meet Xiaosheng outside and finish the remaining dialogue. The quest ends after that conversation completes.\n\nMeet Xiaosheng outside and finish the remaining dialogue | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@ZaFrostPet)__\n\nYou will know it worked when the final talk with Xiaosheng ends and the quest closes out instead of sending you back into the cave.\n\n* * *\n\n### A Wellspring of Hope rewards\n\nReward | Amount\n---|---\nLight the Lantern - Tome | 1\nMedicinal Tales | 1\nLv. 5 Ebon Iron | 2\nEcho Jade | 52\nHexi Exploration | 70\nEnlightenment Point | 200\nCharacter EXP | 52,500\nCoin | 52,500\n\n* * *\n\nThe only parts that usually slow this quest down are the temporary bridge crossings, the correct wooden platform in the dead-end room, and the pit section where a fall can force a reset. If you stay focused on Cosmic Reversal prompts and keep moving forward after each restored path appears, A Wellspring of Hope is a straight, readable clear from the oasis to Xiaosheng’s final dialogue.",
