At this point, Wan Qingteng saw the two men staring intently at him. Knowing he could no longer keep them in suspense, he continued explaining, "If the water of the Ageless Spring is already miraculous, then all that miraculous water comes from this thing in my hand-the Ageless Crystal!"
So it really was this thing! Mu Jingfei thought.
In fact, when Wan Qingteng took it out of the spring's source, he had already suspected as much.
"The water of the Ageless Spring only wells up from the source after being nurtured by the Ageless Crystal. All this water carries the miraculous properties infused into it by the Ageless Crystal. Look at the spring water-isn't there a faint green gleam in it? Now look at this cloud of emerald mist inside the Ageless Crystal!" Wan Qingteng pointed at the spring water in the pool, then held the Ageless Crystal before the two men as he spoke.
Mu Jingfei and Fang Chongyi looked closely and found that this was indeed the case.
"In other words, the Ageless Spring's miraculous effects are probably all due to this green light? What exactly is this stuff?" Fang Chongyi asked.
Fang Chongyi wanted an answer from Wan Qingteng, but Wan Qingteng shook his head as well. "I don't know what the emerald mist inside the Ageless Crystal actually is. After Sun Simiao founded the Medicine King Hall back then, he went on to create this Ageless Spring. He was also the one who obtained the Ageless Crystal and placed it at the spring's source. But where he obtained it remains unknown."
"Whatever this mist is, it's certainly a rare marvel of this world. Hall Master Wan, now that you have the Ageless Crystal, your cultivation should be able to rise another level, shouldn't it?" Mu Jingfei
