"I told you to grow the Spirit Tree? Then…"
Seeing Yuan's reaction, Xiao Cangming could guess why he was worried and said, "Indeed, I grew the Spirit Tree under your instruction. However, my illness did not originate from the Spirit Tree. That being said, it is related to my illness."
"What?" Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
Xiao Cangming continued to explain, "Firstly, about my weakened cultivation. It has nothing to do with my illness. To grow the Spirit Tree, I had to feed it my cultivation. Naturally, my cultivation would decline afterward, so I would have to regain my cultivation and repeat the process. I had recently finished feeding the Spirit Tree my cultivation, hence why I am only at the first level of God Ascension."
Yuan swallowed nervously before asking, "How many times did you feed the Spirit Tree?"
