When Sol saw the old man's reaction his heart let out an excited thump for some strange reason, but he managed to bury the feeling immediately.
"Senior, I was able to figure out this fact because my Innate Dharma is related to the Wood Element. I knew by the aura of this plum blossom tree that it was the same as all the ones I observe on my way up the mountain."
"For you to be able to distinguish a tree's aura means you're Innate Dharma has an extremely high affinity with the Wood Element. Is that why you joined the Alchemy Pavilion instead of the Irregular Dharma Pavilion or the Runes and Formations Pavilion?"
Sol didn't question how the old man knew he had joined the Alchemy Pavilion even though he wasn't wearing their yellow robe, but a black robe with golden embroidery at the edges.
But a glimmer of surprise did appear in his eyes before he nodded and said.
"Yes, senior."
