Reaching into your sleeve, you finger around for your most useful metal elemental magic item. While cultivators almost never wear armor, too encumbering, you consider what would be the most useful tool against this wood element...
Ahh, you find a white tiger katana, a magical blade from a distant land. Given to you by an old flame. Of course, the Katana itself isn't super powerful on its own, probably one of your weakest magic swords, but it is strongly infused with metal element- a natural counter to wood element. You aren't considered with the element influencing you negatively, as your elemental self is perfectly balanced and immutable from a much earlier cultivation stage...
Putting on the katana, you touch down and march towards the tree. The roots beneath the ground seem hesitant, but then suddenly rise out of the ground. Each one that draws near, you give a quick slice and it falls away instantly, easily cut, and the tree weakening each time it is harmed by the metal elemental sword. Eventually, it stops fighting you, and you reach the crystal.
The crystal is almost as tall as you, very thick, and supercharged with some kind of supernatural energy. You touch the crystal and can feel a charge of some kind of cosmic chi energy! You feel as though this would be a great boon to your cultivation- but it may only be useful for a limited time once absorbed. The powerful infusion of life energy could also have other uses as well.
>Use the Crystal to advance to the next stage of Cosmic Mind Immortal
>Absorb the Crystal's chi and replace your own chi with the cosmic power
>Break the crystal down into a massive hoard of spirit stones- you can find other elixirs later
