Yggdrasil (Part 2)
Just looking at Yggdrasil made Xue Bai feel giddy. While he didn't think he would ever struggle to cultivate in the later realms, this would make everything easier. Plus, he could also help his less talented parents cultivate along with him instead of leaving them behind. And all Xue Bai had to do was feed it some high-ranked Spiritual Soil.
And as he was inspecting it, Xiao'er arrived with the Spiritual Soil and a large pot. Apparently, the maid also relayed that he had Yggdrasil with him.
"Young Master, I brought the Spiritual Soil." Then, cheerful as always, Xiao'er entered the room with a smile.
"Xiao'er, bring it here, the pot as well." Xue Bai only took a quick look at Xiao'er before gluing his eyes back at Yggdrasil, seemingly afraid that it would disappear.
"Young Master, what is this fruit tree? What makes it so special?" Curious as ever, Xiao'er rattled off questions rapid fire.
Having such an extroverted maid bothered him somewhat, but she brought a liveliness that was a refreshing change from his quiet and lonely hospital room. So after waving his hand to get her to stop, Xue Bai spoke, "Xiao'er, one at a time, if you're going to ask me questions, just one at a time, not a dozen."
Xiao'er took a moment to think before choosing her first question to be answered.
"This tree is the only of its kind, so it doesn't have a name. What other questions do you have?"
"If it's the only of its kind, how did you find it? You only left the estate to go to the City." Xiao'er asked next
"Uncle Li took me to the Stone Gambling Pavilion, and I opened this tree from a stone." After answering stood and tried to place Yggdrasil into the pot, but he soon realized he couldn't even lift it, so he asked, "Xiao'er, before I answer the next one, help me put Yggdrasil in the pot."
"Yes, Young Master. But I thought you said this tree didn't have a name. So why are you calling it Yggdrasil all of a sudden."
"It's the name I gave it. I can't always call it "The Fruit Tree. It's too tacky, so I named it Yggdrasil, after the sacred tree of life itself."
"But, Young Master, aren't you insulting Yggdrasil by naming a dying fruit tree after it?"
"Xiao'er, if I have enough time, this tree will not only live up to the Yggdrasil but also surpass it."
"Young Master, that's a big claim. Are you not afraid of people laughing at you?" Xiao'er was shocked, to say the least, but since it was her Young Master, she didn't dare laugh and only tried to stop Xue Bai from bragging to the public.
"Xiao'er, why would I tell other people of this? Wouldn't that just put a target on my back?" Xue Bai stopped and looked back at Xiao'er like he was looking at a stupid person.
Hearing such mean words, Xiao'er wanted to refute, but no words came out. Xue Bai spoke so straight forward it shut up the maid. So she just humphed and pouted, not bothering to lend a hand to Xue Bai, who was struggling to lift the three-meter tall Yggdrasil.
Xue Bai sensing his maid turning rebellious was stunned. He had just spoken logically. Why was she mad?
"Xiao'er, dammit, help me. I can't put Yggdrasil into the pot by myself."
"Humph!"
"Xiao'er, if you don't help me, then I'll starve you for a week. Mother has been saying you've been fattening up recently anyways, so she would agree with me." Xue Bai threatened.
"Mistress would never say that! I am her favorite of all the maids. If I wasn't, how would I get to be your maid." Xiao'er defended herself
However, Xue Bai just gave her a condescending look and replied back, "Mother would never insult someone to their face, you know that."
"But I'm her favorite.." Xiao'er became visibly defeated after hearing that because she knew it was true.

"You're her favorite because of your personality. Your looks are a bonus, so if you don't want to starve for a week, help me with Yggdrasil."
While she looked unwilling, Xiao'er still went to help Xue Bai. And with the two people placing Yggdrasil into the pot was a lot easier.
"Oh right, I just remembered, Young Master. By the way, Madam asked me what you wanted with the Spiritual Soil," Xiao'er remembered suddenly.
"Speaking of mother Xiao'er, call my parents over. I need to show them Yggdrasil." Xue Bai already had a plan for his parents.
While he didn't know what stage they were at currently when they appeared in the game, they appeared in the year 977. They were only at the 7th stage of the Domain Lord realm. And while that was at the top of this continent, a Domain Lord realm cultivator in the central continent wasn't even enough to be a doorman. So he planned to give them each a fruit. Since there were only three fruits on the tree right now, he also planned to give the last to his uncle.
He didn't need one anytime soon since the fruit helped cultivators struggling with their lack of potential. And since he planned to get a Low-Heaven Grade Martial Vein, he wouldn't have any bottlenecks until the Immortal Grade Realm.
"Yes, Young Master, I'll go call them over right now." After replying, Xiao'er went to call Xue Bai's parents, which didn't take long because she returned with the two after only 10 minutes of waiting.
"Bai'er, what did you call us for?" Then, as Li Rou entered the room, she asked with was second by Xue Feng.
"Mother, you asked why I needed so much Spiritual Soil, so this is why," Xue Bai announced while pointing at Yggdrasil dramatically.
"You asked me for Black Grade Spiritual Soil so that you can plant this dying fruit tree?" Li Rou was confused.
Xue Feng was more proactive and went to touch Xue Bai's forehead, thinking he had a fever.
Annoyed at their reactions, Xue Bai shook off his father and yelled, "I'm not sick look at Yggdrasil before you made those faces."
"Honey, he even gave the tree a name. Maybe you should've taken him to the Imperial Physician." Li Rou covered her mouth in distress.
"Mother, look at the fruits on Yggdrasil first. They are radiating Spiritual Qi. I didn't pick up a dead tree from the side of the road." Xue Bai couldn't stand their faces full of pity.
"Oh, your right, they are Natural Treasures. But then where did you get this Spirit Tree? You only went to the City, right?" Li Rou started to ask the same questions that Xiao'er asked.
"Mother Xiao'er already asked those questions. Just ask her to tell you them but first, let me explain what these fruits do."
"While I don't know what stage you two are at, I do know you guys are in the Domain Lord Realm. And I also know you two have Peak Tier Yellow Grade Martial Veins and have been slowly reaching the limit of your potential." Xue Bai was starting to market Yggdrasil to his parents.
"Stop, stop, stop while these words are right. They hurt, so please, Bai'er, if you have a point, say it. Our old hearts can't take much more." Xue Bai's parents were taking too much damage from his innocent comments.
"Ok, I'll make it simple. These fruits can bring you two to the ninth stage of the Domain Lord Realm within a few years and give you a chance at The Xiantian Great Realm." Xue Bai decided to drop the bomb since they wanted him to cut it short.
However though his words were short and simple, they felt like a bomb to his parents. His father and mother were at the fourth and fifth stages of the Domain Lord Realm. The Domain Lord Realm was the last Realm in the Houtian Great Realm, and with their Peak Tier Yellow Grade Martial Veins, that meant they were already almost at the limit of their potential. Their Marital Veins couldn't absorb the higher quality Spiritual Qi needed to advance to the Xiantian Great Realm. Forcing them to stay at the Peak Houtian Great Realm for the rest of their lives.
So Xue Bai telling them that they could continue on was earth-shattering to them. No cultivator wanted to stay at their strength for the rest of their lives. And after hearing from Xue Bai that these fruits could overcome their lack of potential, his parents were floored.
Xue Feng knew his son was either playing an elaborate joke and was itching for a beating, or he was telling the truth. So immediately laid out a soundproofing array. Because either way, no sound should leak out of the room from what would happen next.
"Xue Bai, the words you have just said cannot be taken back. So explain to your parents clearly, or you won't like what happens next."
