His kind heart touched the fairy, who gave him a silver pot with which spring water could be boiled into medicine. The old man used this silver pot to relieve the plague that was prevalent in the village. But the magical effect of the silver pot alarmed the greedy bully. In order to avoid the bad guys' robbery, the old man was forced to climb up the cliff. However, the bad guys were in hot pursuit, so the old man had no choice but to call to the fairy and jump off the bottom of the cliff. Unexpectedly, a jet of water gushes out from the broken part of the silver pot, and all the bad guys are rushed into the Liuxi River and drowned. From then on, clear springs gushed out from the banks of Liuxi River day and night. This clear spring that can be used for health and healing is Conghua Hot Spring.
