Connate Spirit Wood.

"A Connate Spirit Wood? Spirit Core? What are those?" King of Elixirs heard Chen Fan's murmur and was confused.

The so-called Connate Spirit Trees were trees that lived for over ten thousand years. After they had passed their Thunder Tribulation, they could shed their mortal coil and exist in the world as a Connate Spirit, or sometimes it even took up a human form and possessed many unimaginable Immortal Enlightenment abilities.

Chen Fan waved a hand as he explained.

The Spirit Core was buried under countless herbs, however, it rose into the air as if it was snatched up by an invisible hand. As it slowly made its way toward Chen Fan, King of Elixirs could finally see what had sent Chen Fan into elation.

The so-called Spirit Core looked like a dark charred wooden chunk. However, the surface of the wooden chunk was smooth like rocks on the river bank, making it look like a wooden egg.

King of Elixirs had no time to marvel at Chen Fan's telekinesis ability. Surprise and confusion was written all over his face. "Ten thousand year old tree? What kind of tree can live that long? Plus, you were saying that the tree can exist in its spirit form and can transform into a human shape? Do you mean like the Tree Sprite in folklore? Could it be considered an Earth Immortal?"

"Sort of, Any Connate beings would definitely be considered deity in their own rights."

Chen Fan said lightly

After some time, the wooden egg had made its way to Chen Fan and it fitted nicely in Chen Fan's palm. Despite its small size, it was surprisingly heavy. It was at least ten times heavier than the heaviest wood such as ebony, making it denser than even iron.

"I believe whoever found this Spirit Core had found it with the Spirit Wood that Zhou Jin Yi had offered me. However, they must not have noticed the energy inside the core, therefore they had thought it was a regular piece of wood and had chucked it at the corner of the storage and forgot about it." Chen Fan thought to himself.

When Zhou Jin Yi showed Chen Fan the Connate Spirit Wood, he had already suspected that the Medicine God Valley Sect had collected more than just one piece of wood from a Connate Spirit Tree. A regular Connate Spirit Tree could grow up to a few hundred meters tall and the crown itself could cover over a few thousand square kilometers.

If the Medicine God Valley Sect had stumbled upon the remains of such a mammoth tree, they must have collected more than just a small chunk of wood. However, Chen Fan didn't think that the Medicine God Valley Sect would have also collected the Spirit Core by accident.

"The tree was a deity?" King of Elixirs was stunned by the revelation.

If a tree was really able to live over tens of thousands of years, it must have passed numerous trials and tribulations. Therefore, it would be reasonable to assume that it had long since become sentient and gained immortality. The Tree Sprite in the legends could even fight against heavenly guards and generals.

"Mr. Chen, what is a Spirit Core?" King of Elixirs asked cautiously.

He registered that Chen Fan cared a lot about this Spirit Core. He wagered that the Spirit Core was worth more than the combined value of all the herbs in this room.

"Spirit Trees can live for tens of thousands of years and can reach over a few hundred meters tall. At the center of its trunk was the Spirit Core. Inside the Spirit Core, was half of its Spirit Qi as well as vitality. In other words, it's the life source of the Spirit Tree. Even if the tree was destroyed, as long as the core was replanted into the earth, the Spirit Tree would quickly grow back again." Chen Fan explained patiently.
