Tear Ice was not an immortal material, but it was still quite precious and widely beloved by Gu Masters and Gu Immortals.
Tear Ice originated from snowmen.
Snowmen lived in snowy, frigid environments. They generally neither cried nor laughed, making tears all the rarer. The vast majority of snowmen went through their entire lives without ever weeping with joy or sobbing in grief. Yet once they shed tears, those tears instantly froze into Tear Ice.
A snowman could shed Tear Ice at most three times in their lifetime, for no more than sixty pieces in total.
