Chapter 82: The Oldest Elder Monk Tree!

Now that Ban saw the state of the oldest Elder Monk Tree, he now knew what was happening, and of course, the remedy for it. 

"Elder, when did this Elder Monk Tree start dying?" 

"I don't know young-one. After I came out of seclusion, that's already the state it was in. Sigh! If only I knew I didn't enter seclusion…" The Elder Red-Panda said. 

"Don't worry, Elder, we could still save the other Elder Monk Trees." Ban reassured after seeing the dejected expression of the Elder Red-Panda. 

"The reason was really not due to improper harvesting methods… The Elder Monk Trees are infected by bugs, Elder." Ban added. 

"Bugs? I doubt that. I also thoroughly checked the dying Elder Monk Trees but I could not find any bugs. That's why I came to the conclusion that it was due to improper harvesting methods. And in truth, my harvesting method pales in comparison to the harvesting method that you used." The Elder Red-Panda denied his claims.
