Clarifications

Hearing that Lin Mu and Jing Luo were looking for thousand year old Hong Lin wood as well, the two disciples were surprised. They even felt that they might have a little bit of a competition when it came to that now.

"Senior wants thousand year old Hong Lin Wood as well? Why?" Hua San questioned.

"Well, not thousand year old Hong Lin Wood itself. Jing Luo needs the sap of thousand year old Hong Lin trees, while I need the actual living tree." Lin Mu explained.

"Ah, I see." Hua San said, feeling a bit relieved.

He thought at least this way they wouldn't have a complete clash.

"Though getting thousand year old Hong Lin tree sap would be difficult. It can only be extracted when the tree is alive and even then it is quite hard to keep for long periods of time. 

I don't think even the Hong Lin kingdom has any in storage." Hua San spoke.

"Yeah, I guessed that. That's why we prefer finding an actual living tree." Lin Mu replied.
