"By the way, you said the Spirit Tree hasn't fully matured yet?" Yuan suddenly recalled Xiao Cangming mentioning this earlier.
He nodded and confirmed, "The Spirit Tree is still growing…"
After a brief pause, he continued, "...No, that's not quite right. To be honest, the Spirit Tree hasn't grown in tens of millions of years. No matter how much cultivation I pour into it, it remains unchanged. In the beginning, it responded, showing clear signs of growth each time I fed it my energy, but that ceased not long after it reached this form."
He sighed softly. "I suspect there's a unique cultivation method required to nourish it. Unfortunately, I lack that knowledge… so this may be as far as I can go."
"Is that so?"
Yuan stared at the small eternal tree before him with a pondering gaze, seemingly in deep thought.
Xiao Cangming and the others silently waited for his next action.
