Rank 7 Resource Tree

The fusion time was quite long. He had been controlling the ritual for 2 years. His little world spirits feeling this energy couldn't help but admire Yang Rai's prowess. To control the whims of this much energy at once was strictly left to the heavens themselves or Universe Spirits. Yet Yang Rai was here managing to do the very same. However he was starting to get a little worried since his energy drain was slightly higher than his production.

Yang Rai decided to push it along more. It would use more energy but at this point it was better for him to do it this way than to just wait. The remaining 9 trees came together in a flash of brilliant Pure World Force. The result was a single tree that exuded clear and identifiable energy. It was a rank 7 tree. I did it. Finally.

"So this is a rank 7 resource tree. It seems incredibly profound in nature."

"Master, you did it! This is an incredible tree.

"Yeah, and now that I see the end result I can understand why it took so much to create this. The aura is amazing. Now we just need to wait for it to bear fruit to complete the tests. I'll have you all continue harvesting as you have for the time being."

"As you wish to master, we will make sure to harvest lots for you so you can strengthen your glyphs."

"Good. I think I'm going to take a quick rest. While recovering my energy pool."

Yang Rai went into a meditative state to maximize his recovery. The origin spirits were slowly beginning the process of upgrading his glyphs to T7 R6. It was clear he would need more energy to do that again. The stronger he is the easier it will be and less risk there will be. He Spent another many months recovering from that. Almost a year passed by. While he had been replenishing his energy supply the little world spirits noticed something about the tree.

"Master, there is something different about the tree you made recently."

"Oh? Let's go see what it is then."

"Well, it's an odd tree, master."

"How so?"

"It has a consciousness."

"Wait really?"

"Yes, each time we harvest a set of materials it becomes better at communicating."

"This is intriguing. I'll go visit them."

Yang Rai went over to see this tree. On first glance the only thing different about it was the strength of its world force. When he inspected this with his divine sense however, he could tell instantly. There was indeed the presence of a tree spirit. This was entirely unexpected. He thought to himself that this would be a great way to help support his efforts at collecting more resources. If he could communicate with the spirit he would have a far easier time making more of these trees. The insight given could very well make it far easier to fuse rank 8 materials.

This was a perfect chance for him. Now what to call her? Will she hate me or like me?
