"Yuanmu Zi's wooden core? What is that?" Zhu Guo, he knew; Yuanmu Zi, he knew too—that's the giant tree growing from the depths of the sea. But, what exactly is a wooden core?
"The wooden core, also known as the Spirit of Vegetation, is the essence of Yuanmu Zi. If you split open the main trunk of Yuanmu Zi, you can obtain the wooden core."
Li Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't Yuanmu Zi die if its wooden core is taken?"
Yi Yi spoke indifferently, "If it dies, it dies. Yuanmu Zi bears fruit only once in its lifetime. Now that all the Zhu Fruits have been picked, keeping it serves no purpose. If Master were still here, he wouldn't let you consume such low-level Spirit Fruits as Zhu Fruits. He'd go straight to Zhen Yuanzi, the Great Immortal, and ask for two Ginseng fruits, which would enable you to ascend to the heavens and transcend tribulation in one step."
