"You managed to reverse the process? But that should be impossible."
"Not quite because you see all of these resources resonate with each other. At first I was doing this without maximizing that resonance. Now I can fuse rank 1 into rank 2 fairly quickly."
"How high can you go right now?"
"I was about to attempt to make a set of fifth rank resources when I had been rudely interrupted."
"How high can you make this go? Is it possible to create a tree that would produce a High rank resource?"
"Ah about that. I'm not positive yet. Though it shouldn't be impossible. I don't see why I wouldn't be able to make it work eventually."
"I see, so you wanted the gourd vine fruits so you could get an idea of the strength of a resonating rank 5 set."
"That's not the only reason. I'll show you this watch that Rank 4 tree closely."
Yang Rai mobilized the energy with an absolutely insane degree of control. That was alone enough to surprise the others aside from Yang Kai. Then they saw the resource fruit growing dramatically faster as if many days were passing for it in meager seconds. Yang Rai had it harvested and did it again.
"How many times can you do that?"
"About 3 times per day for the rank 1 trees, 4 times for the rank 2 and 3 trees. Then 5 for the rank 4 trees."
"Brother I hate to ask this but can I take some of these resources?"
"Of course you can just know that the number of sets you take directly affects the rate of improvement."
"How many resources did it take to make rank 4?"
"It took 81 sets of 3rd rank resources to condense a single set of rank 4. And 9 sets of rank 4 to condense a rank 4 tree sapling."
"Yang Rai, your methods are absolutely heaven defying."
"There is something I'd like to do and need your help with. Yet it will come only after I manage to reach rank 6 resources."
"Why do you not condense more trees? Wouldn't you be able to get more resources?"
"Simple, I don't have enough little world spirits to keep up with any more than the projected number of trees I'll have. 9 trees for each rank is the limit."
"Is that what these little guys are?"
"Correct, I refined them into my small sealed world bead some time ago. They were originally star sources but were quickly nurtured."
"If you were able to get more star sources would the number of spirits increase?"
"Why don't you have the humans in this world help you?"
"Because this is an isolated area. I wouldn't bring anyone here below the emperor realm. And then there are only going to be nine of those for now. Since they all manage their territories they don't have time to work here."
"I see, then let's set up a trade. How about a set of rank 5 materials for a single star source?"
