Natural God's Gift

Hearing what Mountain Master Ziyun said, Si Ye had just finished searching for information about the God-Given Soil and learned of its value. Si Ye didn't dare to respond. Such a precious thing was something it couldn't use.

Si Ye stammered, "Zi, Mountain Master Ziyun, this is too precious. You should keep it for yourself."

Mountain Master Ziyun laughed heartily, "Hehe, what are you worried about? I'm not giving it to you for free. I'll naturally go to Lord Ginkgo and Lord Qingfeng to discuss the reward later."

"Uh," Si Ye knew that Mountain Master Ziyun wanted a share of the Lucky Clover Divine-Quality Fruit. It wanted the three spiders of the Ziyun Trading Company to each eat a Divine-Quality Fruit.

Si Ye had no dissatisfaction with this. Its own life-seed producing fruit that other spiders admired and craved was a kind of honor.

Moreover, the spider that wanted the Divine-Quality Fruit was Mountain Master Ziyun. It had no reason to refuse. If it weren't for the rules of the Flame Spider Kingdom, it wouldn't be able to decide the fate of the Divine-Quality Fruit itself.

Otherwise, it wouldn't mind giving one to Mountain Master Ziyun for free.

Besides, the God-Given Soil was really tempting!

Mountain Master Torch eagerly said, "Ziyun, what does Dragon Scale Soil look like? Show us."

Mountain Master Ziyun waved its antennae, "No hurry. While everyone is free, we can go to Lucky Clover now and use the Dragon Scale Soil."

"I'll go find Lord Qingfeng." Si Ye knew that it couldn't make decisions about these things, so it quickly ran to find Lord Qingfeng to discuss the matter.

Mountain Master Ziyun and the others took the lead in arriving at Lucky Clover's location, looking up at the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed on the mound. In this winter season, most of the plants and trees had withered and turned yellow, only the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed remained green and evergreen.

On the lush, heart-shaped leaves, there were still lingering dewdrops from the morning.

After years of growth, the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed had grown to five meters tall, and the diameter of the trunk had reached ten centimeters.

This far exceeded the height that most herbaceous plants could grow to.

In the Lucky Clover's rather large canopy, a cyan-green, heart-shaped fruit with a diameter of about four or five centimeters was mostly obscured by the leaves. A gentle breeze blew, the leaves swayed, and the fruit appeared intermittently in the dappled sunlight.

Mountain Master Torch and the others also raised their forelegs and looked up at the fruit on the tree: "When will the fruit of this Lucky Clover ripen?"

Mountain Master Ziyun calculated the age of the Divine-Quality Fruit on the tree: "The fruit on the tree has been growing for five years, right?"

"It has,"

Mountain Master Ziyun: "Normal Divine-Quality God-Given Seeds only bloom and bear fruit after reaching the Mountain Master level. With the Life Godstone's assistance, the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed bears fruit much earlier than other Divine-Quality Fruits.

Moreover, it took a year just to bloom. If it takes forty or fifty years, the spiders will be depressed."

"Really?" Mountain Master Torch and the others were startled. If it really took so long to ripen, when would it be their turn to eat Divine-Quality Fruit?

Mountain Master Ziyun smiled casually, "I'm just saying. Looking at the current size of this fruit, I estimate it should ripen in a few years, right? Let Si Ye ask Lucky Clover about the state of the God-Given Seed then."

The Lucky Clover God-Given Seed was very angry that they were standing next to it. It constantly emitted various threatening and intimidating mental thoughts, wanting to drive away the large spiders.

Knowing that God-Given Seeds were sensitive, Mountain Master Ziyun and the others retreated some distance and waited for Si Ye and the others to arrive.

They didn't wait long before Lord Qingfeng hurriedly brought Si Ye over.

Lord Qingfeng ran over anxiously, leaving Si Ye far behind: "Ziyun, I heard you found another treasure?"

Mountain Master Ziyun was a little embarrassed: ("What do you mean 'another'? It's as if I often get treasures."

"Really?" Lord Qingfeng ran over, looking around: "Where is it?"

Mountain Master Ziyun: "It's still on my carapace."

"Take it out and let me see." Lord Qingfeng. Hearing Si Ye say that Mountain Master Ziyun had found God-Given Soil, it was a little surprised. This kind of treasure was even rarer than God-Given Seeds. It didn't expect Ziyun and the others to always find these strange things.

Mountain Master Ziyun took out a large silk pouch from its carapace and opened it. At this time, Si Ye also ran over behind Lord Qingfeng, panting.

"Lord Qingfeng, you run too fast. I can't keep up."

Lord Qingfeng didn't bother to respond to what Si Ye said. Seeing Mountain Master Ziyun open the silk pouch, it couldn't wait to stick its head in to check.

In addition to Lord Qingfeng, Mountain Master Torch and Mountain Master Green also excitedly leaned into the silk pouch to check.

"Let me see too, let me see too." Si Ye also came later, staring with its eight big eyes, stubbornly squeezing into the circle formed by the large spiders.

When it leaned in behind Mountain Master Torch, Mountain Master Torch casually kicked its hind leg, kicking it several meters away.

Si Ye: "..—

Mountain Master Ziyun: "·

Mountain Master Ziyun shook the silk pouch: "Okay, I'll pour it out for everyone to see."

Everyone took two steps back, quietly waiting for Mountain Master Ziyun to pour out the God Soil from the silk pouch.

Si Ye looked at Mountain Master Torch resentfully, then stood next to Lord Qingfeng.

Mountain Master Ziyun lifted the silk pouch and poured out all the God Soil from the bag.

Several spiders lowered their heads to check. Mountain Master Ziyun didn't bring back much God Soil, only about half a cubic meter.

The half cubic meter of underground soil was not like ordinary sand, but rather similar to clay mixed with water. The whole was cyan-black, with faint primordial energy fluctuations. It was clearly a clod of soil, but after falling to the ground, scale-like patterns appeared on the surface.

"Is this Dragon Scale Soil?" Forty eyes fell on the soil on the ground.

Even the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed not far away sensed the primordial energy fluctuations here. The depths of its soul emitted a desire and constantly asked and urged Si Ye.

"Si Ye, what is this? I feel like it smells so good. Give it to me quickly, quickly, quickly."

"Smells good?" Si Ye was puzzled, "Do plants also have a sense of smell?"

It comforted Lucky Clover: "Wait a moment, I'll give it to you to eat after Mountain Master Ziyun and Lord Qingfeng discuss it."

It didn't know if this counted as eating for plants? Si Ye made a wild guess.

Lord Qingfeng used its claws to twist a little Dragon Scale Soil and put it in its mouth to taste it. Mountain Master Torch and Mountain Master Green also followed suit.

Lord Qingfeng felt the primordial energy contained in the soil and said with satisfaction: "It is indeed Dragon Scale Soil, the same as recorded in the Divine-Quality Fruit Illustrated Guide."

Mountain Master Torch was a little surprised: "The Divine-Quality Fruit Illustrated Guide also records God-Given Soil?"

The Divine-Quality Fruit Illustrated Guide was not a book, but a set of books, which had always been in Lord Ginkgo's claws. Mountain Master Torch and the others had flipped through it, but they hadn't seen the whole thing. It was estimated that only the lords in the kingdom had seen the entire set of books.

Lord Qingfeng: "The Divine-Quality Fruit Illustrated Guide records the strange items that will be born in the Primordial Energy Star Realm."

Lord Qingfeng looked at Mountain Master Ziyun: "Ziyun, do you really want to give the Dragon Scale Soil to the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed? Do you know the function and value of Dragon Scale Soil?"

Mountain Master Ziyun: "Since I'm prepared to give it to Lucky Clover, I naturally know its value."

Si Ye raised its claws to interrupt Lord Qingfeng and the others: "Lord Qingfeng, Mountain Master Ziyun, what is the function of Dragon Scale Soil?"

Its age was still young, and its inherited memories were incomplete. It only knew that there was a God-Given Soil called Dragon Scale Soil, but it really didn't understand its value.

The Azureleaf Lord thought for a moment, feeling that Clover, as the owner of the Lucky Clover, should have some understanding of the Dragonscale Soil.

"Dragonscale Soil is a divine soil whose value is no less than that of a God-given Seed."

Clover asked, "Oh?"

"Yes, if there were twenty or thirty cubic meters of it, forming a Dragon Nurturing Ground, its value might even be higher than that of an ordinary God-given Seed."

"Dragon Nurturing Ground?" Clover felt strange.

"Dragon Nurturing Ground is a term used by the Insectoid warriors. Legend has it that if one can obtain enough God-given Dragonscale Soil and then acquire a God-given Dragonscale Grass Seed, planting the Dragonscale Grass Seed under the Dragonscale Soil to grow, there is a high probability of nurturing a Divine-grade God-given Seed."

"If left to grow on their own, they might even give birth to elemental life forms."

Clover opened its mandibles, shocked by the Azureleaf Lord to the point of not knowing what to say. How did this sound like it wasn't very Star Realm-like?

Could Divine-grade fruits also be nurtured like this? What were elemental life forms? There was no record of this in its inherited memories?

Clover turned slightly to look at the Azurecloud Mountain Lord: "Then why didn't the Azurecloud Mountain Lord keep it? If you could find a God-given Dragonscale Grass Seed, wouldn't that be equivalent to directly obtaining a Divine-grade God-given Seed?"

The Azurecloud Mountain Lord swayed its antennae: "Even if all the traveling merchants of the Flame Spider Kingdom put forth their efforts, the probability of obtaining a God-given Dragonscale Grass Seed in the Star Realm is extremely low.

Moreover, the amount of Dragonscale Soil is too small. If I had twenty or thirty cubic meters in my claws, then you wouldn't need to tell me, I would definitely keep it in my claws."

The Azureleaf Lord chimed in: "Even without twenty or thirty cubic meters, its effect is still great. Insectoid warriors who simply consume Dragonscale Soil can awaken a defensive ability called Dragonscale.

1"

Azurecloud Mountain Lord: "But you have to consume a lot. This half a cubic meter isn't enough. Rather than gambling on the probability of an arachnid giving birth to the ability, it's better to give it to a Divine-grade God-given Seed to use.

Divine-grade God-given Seeds have a foundation, and there is also a probability of increasing a Dragonscale ability."

"Yes," hearing the Azurecloud Mountain Lord say this, the Azureleaf Lord echoed with considerable regret: "If there were enough Dragonscale Soil, using it more on the Lucky Clover God-given Seed, perhaps it could really increase a defensive ability!

Even if the quantity isn't large, but there is half a cubic meter, it is estimated that increasing the God-given Seed's own defensive ability won't be a problem."

The Azureleaf Lord changed the subject: "Azurecloud, since you know the effect of Dragonscale Soil, you still decided to give it to the Lucky Clover God-given Seed to use?"

Azurecloud Mountain Lord: "Yes!"

Azureleaf Lord: "According to the rules of the kingdom, no arachnid will want another arachnid's private property for nothing. Apart from being able to inherit the legacy of elders, there are no other gift-giving behaviors. All exchanges of primal force food are calculated by trade.

Azurecloud, if you want to give the Dragonscale Soil to Clover, you can't escape the trading link. All items have a price. How many primal stones do you think the Dragonscale Soil is worth? At that time, it can be hung on Clover's account."

The Azurecloud Mountain Lord was obviously prepared for this. It calmly said: "Azureleaf Lord, how many primal stones do you think it should be worth if a Divine-grade fruit is endowed with the Dragonscale ability?"

The Azureleaf Lord paused: "Azurecloud, what do you mean by this?"

Azurecloud Mountain Lord: "It's just, how many primal stones do you think the Dragonscale defensive ability is worth? We'll use that to judge the value of this half a cubic meter of Dragonscale Soil."

The Azureleaf Lord considered for a moment and said: "Among the many Divine-grade fruits in the Primal Force Star Realm, Divine-grade fruits endowed with talents are the most valuable, and Divine-grade fruits endowed with abilities are the next most valuable.

Among the types of Divine-grade fruits endowed with abilities, soul-type, strength-type, and life-type abilities are not included in the calculation.

Of the remaining seven types of abilities, the ability to manage territory is the most expensive, and attack and defense abilities are at the bottom. Dragonscale ability is considered a relatively powerful defensive ability, but its value is estimated to be between 1.2 million and 1.5 million primal stones."

Azurecloud Mountain Lord: "Then that means the Dragonscale ability is calculated at a value of 1.2 million primal stones?

In that case, I don't want a single primal stone for giving the Dragonscale Soil to the Lucky Clover God-given Seed to use."

The Azureleaf Lord frowned. Before it could say anything, the Azurecloud Mountain Lord continued: "We can make a betting agreement. If the Lucky Clover doesn't give birth to the Dragonscale ability after using the Dragonscale Soil, then I don't want a single primal stone.

Conversely, if the Lucky Clover fruit comes with the Dragonscale ability, then I get 600,000 primal stones for the proceeds of each Divine-grade fruit, how about that?"

The Azureleaf Lord frowned even more. Giving the Dragonscale Soil to the Divine-grade God-given Seed to use only has a probability of increasing the chance of giving birth to the Dragonscale ability, and the Dragonscale Soil is only half a cubic meter, and the quantity is not very sufficient.

In this betting agreement, the Azurecloud Mountain Lord has a high probability of losing. The Azureleaf Lord kindly reminded: "This half a cubic meter of Dragonscale Soil can be purchased at a price of 1.8 million primal stones. I will discuss it with other lords and give it to you in one lump sum in the form of Arachnid Silk Scrolls.

Operating 1.8 million primal stones, the value of the primal stones earned each year accumulates, and is no less than 600,000 primal stones."

The Lucky Clover Divine-grade fruit has already grown for five years, and it will take at least six years to mature. The share of 600,000 primal stones, spread out, is only a yield of 100,000 primal stones a year.

If 1.8 million primal stones are operated well, the annual yield is far more than 100,000 primal stones.

The Azurecloud Mountain Lord swayed its antennae. With the vast primal stone reserves of the Swiftwing Hidden Insect tribe constantly being transported back to the kingdom, they are not short of primal stones now. What they lack is customers and transportation capacity.

It had also carefully considered that rather than keeping this half a cubic meter of Dragonscale Soil in its claws, or betting on that little probability itself, it would be better to give it to Lucky Clover to use and let it bet on that probability.

If the Lucky Clover fruit really awakened the Dragonscale ability, then it would be equivalent to having one more God-given Seed.

Not to mention anything else, the debt on the Bloodvine Lake side can at least be transferred.

Seeing the Azurecloud Mountain Lord being so stubborn, the Azureleaf Lord swayed its antennae and no longer stopped it. Since the Azurecloud Merchant Group used the Stone of Life to give to Lucky Clover, its behavior has become more and more radical. But it seems that it also has this kind of mentality, otherwise how would it have proposed that other Flame Spider traveling merchants purchase God-given Seeds regardless of the cost?

Among the informed arachnids in the kingdom, only Ginkgo can stabilize its mentality, right?

Otherwise, how would the other Flame Spiders agree with its reckless proposal and be willing to run around and work hard to collect it?

To put it bluntly, the reason why Ginkgo can stabilize its mentality is because it eats the first Divine-grade fruit, so it is not in a hurry.

Alas, treasures move insect hearts!

"I will discuss this proposal with Ginkgo." The value of Divine-grade fruits is measured by their effects. Adding an ability will increase part of the value. This does not affect the original value of the Divine-grade fruit.

For example, if the ability in the original Divine-grade fruit is worth 1 million primal stones, adding an ability worth 1.2 million primal stones, the total value will reach 2.2 million primal stones, and it will not be said that the value of the Divine-grade fruit will be reduced due to having one more ability.

Even if you're lucky, the combination of the two abilities can produce a situation where 1+1 is greater than 2.

As for it going to discuss with Ginkgo instead of discussing with other lords.

That's because the price is fixed. No matter who in the kingdom comes to buy it, it's the same price.

It just depends on whether their two lords of the original Flame Spiders agree with this decision or not.
