Why Do You Have Such a Pointy Head?

"An ancient plant with a few years on it?"

Xu Chan was startled for a moment. He almost thought Chen Zhuo knew about the bet between him and Senior Brother Lu.

But that seemed unlikely. How could Chen Zhuo know? Even a Golden Core cultivator could not have eavesdropped on his conversation with Senior Brother Lu without alerting them.

It was just a coincidence.

"What a coincidence, though."

Xu Chan smiled. "Senior Brother Lu was just planning to give you the Jianmu his family has grown for over five thousand years. You could refine it into a Magical Artifact to give yourself a helping hand."

"Since you want it, we'll transplant it to Heavenly Drum Peak."

Chen Zhuo was overjoyed!

Jianmu?!

Wasn't that the legendary bridge between heaven and earth, the stairway to immortality?

The Ancient Immortal Realm actually had such a treasure?

"It isn't the legendary Jianmu. That name's a bit of a stretch."

The plump Fat True Person beside them gave a light cough and said, "It's only a five-thousand-year-old Moon Jade Tree. An ancestor brought it over as a sapling from Jiangnan when he fled south. He planted it without much thought, and it has survived unharmed to this day. Who would have imagined five thousand years would pass away from our homeland?"

"If even a tree endures such a loss, how could a person bear it?"

The Fat True Person's words were full of sorrow, as though he missed his ancestral home.

Everyone present knew the truth, though.

Your ancestors were driven out five thousand years ago, and you're only a few hundred years old. You've never even seen Jiangnan!

Xu Chan did not point that out. Instead, he looked just as mournful.

Who wouldn't miss Jiangnan?

Its Spiritual Qi was abundant, and its resources plentiful.
