Story 8 - Tribulation Trepidations (9 ?)
“It has ten percent more titanium.”
He gripped my sleeve. “Does that an that the spiritual spring water ate so of the titanium?!”
I shrugged. “We’d have to do this experint a few more tis to check. It could just be that the drops of liquid I snagged the first ti around had less tal.”
The kid stared into the depths of the solution. His jaw clenched. “Then let’s do it!”

“And the final result is?”
“Anywhere from 12 to 8 percent more in the control,” Little Spring said while staring at a jar like he couldn’t accept reality.
“It’s a very disturbing conclusion, isn’t it?”
“I thought for sure that…” As he trailed off, he looked into the distance.
“This is why we test things.”
He nodded seriously.
“So, we know that there is less Red Titanium when we use spiritual spring water. Does that an it’s the worse of the two options and that we should wait a couple days for it to settle?”
He scowled. “Obviously.”
“Then, what if I asked you which jar had the highest quality?”
His eyes slowly grew wide. “You an, the spring water decreases the amount, but increases the quality?!”
“And it’s faster.” It also sounded like magic, but I’d seen weirder, more over-powered things in this Xianxia universe. “Let’s use it to purify a larger portion. Not the whole thing, though.”
“Wait! Why not?”
“Have you considered that the reactions might be different with a greater volu?”
“I… didn’t.”
“And since we’re here, we could do a few more tests. Muahahaha!” My mind burned with all the various possibilities.
