Elder He took a sip of tea, giving everyone time to digest before speaking:
"In the video, Master Zhang mentioned that cultivation requires 'enlightenment.'
And 'enlightenment' is related to an ancient tree.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what that tree might be?"
This touched on the field of biology. A biologist stood up and said:
"The oldest known tree in the world is the bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of California, supposedly over five thousand years old.
Then there's the Pando grove in Utah, which shares an underground root system, with an age exceeding ten thousand years."
Elder He chuckled and said:
"I don't think a foreign tree would allow our cultivators to achieve enlightenment."
The history professor raised his hand, adjusted his glasses, and said:
"Since we're talking about cultivators, we can't compare it with ordinary trees."
The history professor's words made everyone nod in agreement.
