Hou Niao was not surprised. For such an ancient tree that had lived countless years, he did not intend to conceal anything,
"To let you know, Elder, I indeed only interacted with three of the Five Elements Pearls, which happened to be the water, earth, and metal pearls by chance. My wood element power wasn't gained through the Wood Spirit Orb, but through another encounter."
"My dream is to attain the five elements in full, so I truly wish to find the Fire Spirit Pearl. However, the Fire Spirit Pearl is elusive and hard to find, its whereabouts uncertain. Therefore, I aimed for the Wood Spirit Orb instead, to complete the convergence of my five elements."
