An Interesting Offer

Hye had to keep feeding these trees energy, until they'd give him crystals in return. After that, he'd assess the entire process and determine if it was this heaven defying or not.

As he decided to go all out, he took the highest-grade bones he had, the Holy Ones bones. He took ten thousand of them, in batches of one thousand after one thousand.

Each time he took one batch out, the mist would explode inside, trees would grow slightly taller and would become thicker and more lavish. They'd grow more fruits, and yet all the fruits remained in pudding stage.

"What's wrong?" after spending this amount, he decided to stop. Something felt amiss here, and he felt like he was missing something.

Hye spent enough bones to grow up one hundred folds of the crystals he threw inside that heart. Yet he didn't get a single crystal out of any tree.
