"This Wood Essence Tree Root is truly too precious; I, Lu Mou, am unworthy of such a gift. I do not know how I might be able to assist you, Senior, or if I might exchange it for another treasure."
Lu Xuan, knowing full well that the Xuan Ji Tree Mother would not give away such a rare treasure without reason, took the initiative to ask.
"It's just that I would like to exchange this treasure for a promise from you, Friend Lu."
The Xuan Ji Tree Mother spoke gently.
"Please tell me, Senior."
"The Tree Realm is located within the Green Wood Star Cave, and although its geographic position is excellent, it is still not safe enough."
"If a great crisis befalls the Tree Realm in the future, I hope that Friend Lu would be willing to lend a hand in consideration of this piece of Wood Essence Tree Root."
