Meng Zhao smiled faintly. He had already seen through Peng Haibing's thoughts and said,
"Of course. I cultivate a secret ocular art that allows me to observe auras with perfect accuracy.
That Fire Cloud Tree is absolutely an extraordinary tree. The essence within its wood and the power it involves are definitely beyond what the Innate Realm can attain. I guarantee it."
