"Master, you've really given me a difficult problem. Pure Spring, Pure Spring—where am I supposed to find Pure Spring in this day and age?"
The Pure Spring Monk Huikong spoke of was actually one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that had existed on the Divine Continent since ancient times. By the Heaven, Earth, and Human three-tier classification, it could be ranked as Earth-tier, yet in terms of rarity, it was no less precious than Heaven-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The origins of this Pure Spring had been shrouded in mystery since ancient times. Some said it was a spring born in the Arctic Ice Plains, at the very edge of heaven and earth. Others claimed it was the saliva of some divine beast. Still others said it was formed when a pair of Qi of Heaven Gang and Earth Sha underwent refinement through a fortuitous coincidence. In any case, opinions varied wildly, and no conclusion had ever been reached.
Yet one thing was beyond doubt: Pure Spring was extraordinarily rare, far beyond any ordinary Earth-tier treasure in preciousness.
As for Pure Spring itself, it resembled a clear spring, crystal-clear and translucent. By appearance alone, ordinary people could not distinguish it from common spring water.
However, it could be verified by adding any pigment-like substance to it, such as oil, blood, or poisons of various colors.
For the words "Pure Spring" did not merely indicate incomparable purity; they also carried the meaning of cleansing and purification.
What did that mean?
For ordinary spring water, if one added various pigments, blood, poison, and the like to a cupful, obvious changes would occur. At the same time, the spring water itself would be stained into a different state. For instance, adding poison would render the water itself poisonous.
