Sigh!

The last bit of growth energy entered the plants, and I relaxed; it had been really hard to manage all this energy, but I did it, and the result was magnificent.

I now have eleven plants filled with resources that are in the Grand Lord class, two extras that I had thought. A few of the resources took less growth energy than I had expected, so I diverted to the other plants on the list.

All the twenty-four fruits on the metal essence tree had reached a Grand Lord class; the growth energy had played a part, but the biggest part was played by the dead bronze tree floating above; without it, it wouldn't have been possible to take all the twenty-four fruits to Grand Lord class.

The combination of the two had also made the grow; it had now reached nearly meters tall, and fruits hanging on it looked like glittering stars.
