However, to Zhu Bufan's surprise, the root system of the Seven-orifice Exquisite Fruit Tree was very developed and incredibly sturdy. When Zhu Bufan tried to pull it out, he failed to uproot it.
"Ah!"
Zhu Bufan felt astonished and couldn't help but put more strength into it.
Only when Zhu Bufan exerted about half of his strength did he start to feel the Seven-orifice Exquisite Fruit Tree beginning to wobble, prompting him to increase his effort.
Plop...
Finally, the Seven-orifice Exquisite Fruit Tree was pulled out by Zhu Bufan.
The tree's roots were devoid of any soil, very clean, with a majority as thick as fingers, and the rest were as fine as hair strands, tangled in a bundle, resembling a head covering.
"Something's not right!"
Weighing the tree, Zhu Bufan discovered the problem; the root section accounted for the majority of the tree's weight, which was disproportionate to the rest of the tree.
Zhu Bufan hastily untangled the messy roots of the tree.
Thump...
