Just like the spring water mentioned here, it can cure all diseases and taste sweet. There is also Tiansun water, which is slightly cold in nature and sweet in taste, and can treat fever. This water feels so magical! The author's description made me curious about the effects of these waters, and also gave me a better understanding of the world of traditional Chinese medicine.
