The discovery that the Spirit apple tree was sentient was rather interesting to Lin Mu. He tried to test out some things with the Spirit Apple tree and learned more about it.
The first thing he learned was that it didn't like spirit herbs getting close to it. It wasn't just the wood spirit tulip, but some spirit herb that Lin Mu placed near the Spirit apple tree would get either smashed into the ground or pushed away.
Though there was also a rule to that. The Spirit apple tree only responded if there were spirit herbs that were either newly harvested or still had enough vitality to be considered 'alive'.
"Hmm… so basically it doesn't want competition from other spirit herbs?" Lin Mu guessed.
"That does seem understandable. Even normal trees in nature will reject other plants that grow near them and will try to suppress their growth if not kill them. They usually do this by covering the area with their trees or sucking out the nutrients from the soil." Xukong replied.
