#208 - Form a caravan (ask for a subscription)
After confirming the maturity time of the Divine-Quality Lucky Fruit, the Ziyun Trading Company also appropriately adjusted its trading order.
For example, the original plan was for Mountain Lord Ziyun to travel to the Myriad Nations Continent with four Advanced Watase Flame Spider warriors and Lord Cheqian for two years, but it was adjusted so that Mountain Lord Ludi would take Mountain Lord Ziyun's place and lead the four Advanced Watase Flame Spider warriors to the Myriad Nations Continent.
Compared to the Myriad Nations Continent, the trade on the Myriad Races Continent was more stable. Originally, Mountain Lord Torch and Mountain Lord Ludi guarded the original trade route. Mountain Lord Ziyun was the strongest and most suitable to explore new trade routes, and even though they had been robbed once, this distribution model remained unchanged.
This time, because they had to guard the ripening of the Divine-Quality Fruit, they specifically swapped the order, which shows how much importance they placed on the Divine-Quality Lucky Fruit.
Besides the Ziyun Trading Company, Lord Qingfeng and Lord Yinfou, who were also very concerned about the Divine-Quality Fruit, could naturally estimate the maturity period of the Divine-Quality Lucky Fruit. Since the first fruit wouldn't be shared with the various lords, they simply notified them to let them know the maturity period of the Divine-Quality Fruit.
"The fruit's maturity period is within ten years, which is acceptable." For this kind of Divine-Quality Godsend that only produces one fruit at a time, if it took forty or fifty years to produce another one, most insect warriors would not be interested in it.
This is normal. Such a long time, so many spiders queuing up, by the time it's their turn to eat, their bones would have dried up.
"It should also be due to the Life Godstone. The Sea Soul Fir Godsend Seed said that the Life Godstone can accelerate the fruit's ripening speed."
"Logically speaking, after Siyue advances to the Mountain Lord level, the growth period of the Divine-Quality Fruit can be shortened. By then, even if the Life Godstone is used up, it won't be a big problem."
"Life Godstones are very useful. If the value of the Divine-Quality Lucky Fruit is below five million Origin Stones, then I, personally, don't recommend continuing to use them on the Lucky Grass. Let it rest from flowering and fruiting. Life Godstones can still be used at other crucial moments."
Siyue naturally didn't know about the lords' discussions. In the second year after it advanced to an Advanced warrior, its Life Seed, after two years of accumulation, could finally start producing Origin Power food.
Moreover, apart from the eight or nine year old Life Seeds from the Intermediate warrior stage, which still needed to grow because they were planted too recently, more than a dozen of its existing eighteen Life Seeds could produce Origin Power food, and nearly half of them were Godsend Life Seeds, making it incredibly wealthy.
In the spring season, the entire kingdom began to get busy. This year was the first year that Siyue produced Origin Power food after becoming an Advanced warrior. It didn't immediately have the Life Seeds produce Origin Power food at full capacity, but instead had them produce a small amount of Origin Power food, and then gradually increase the production year by year.
For example, for the Morning Glory Godsend Seed, Siyue's first year's reserved production was three hundred flowers and three hundred seed pods.
As for the Rapeseed Flower Godsend Seed, it divided into eight sub-plants at the initial stage, and at the intermediate stage, the eight sub-plants further divided into 48 sub-plants.
Now, at the advanced stage, each of the 48 plants divides into seven sub-plants again. The scale is too large, and Siyue is already considering whether to move it to the Twin Peaks. It doesn't plan to let it produce Origin Power food this year.
The Purple Eggplant Godsend Seed has the same need. It also produces a lot of sub-plants, with six sub-plants in the initial stage.
In the intermediate stage, it divided into thirty-six sub-plants again. In the advanced stage, it multiplied six times. It hasn't been allowed to produce Origin Power food all these years, and its growth is very good.
Siyue doesn't lack the production of these two Life Seeds either, and plans to move them to the Twin Peaks after they divide and grow up.
As for the Morning Glory Godsend Seed and the Long Bean Godsend Seed, it is estimated that they will have to wait until the Mountain Lord level before they can be moved.
In addition to these two Godsend Seeds, Siyue allowed the Date Palm Tree Godsend Seed to retain three thousand fruits this year. For a Godsend Seed that reaches a height of fifty meters, bearing such a small number of fruits is not a problem at all.
The Mangrove Tree Godsend Seed also bore three thousand fruits. If it weren't growing by the sea, Siyue would have been worried that a typhoon would blow the fruits away, and it could have borne even more fruits.
The Long Bean Godsend Seed has a low yield, only producing about three hundred fruits, which is the difference between most herbaceous Godsend Seeds and arboreal Godsend Seeds.
Generally, herbaceous Godsend Seeds can bear two or three thousand fruits at most, while arboreal Godsend Seeds can easily bear several thousand fruits, and their value is even more expensive.
Like the Wheat Plum Godsend Seed, which belongs to the shrub category, Siyue also allowed it to retain one thousand fruits.
As for the Papaya Tree, it initially retained 10 fruits. For many ordinary Life Seeds such as the Chinquapin Chestnut Tree, Golden Silk Phoebe, Honeysuckle, Dawn Redwood, Star Moon Bodhi, Yellow Spot Longan, and Sea Soul Fir, Siyue also asked the Artemisia Bee Queen to remove the excess flowers, leaving only five hundred flowers.
Among these Life Seeds, the Chinquapin Chestnut Tree and Sea Soul Fir have been mentioned many times and need not be repeated, but one Golden Silk Phoebe Life Seed needs to be mentioned.
Its fruit's ability is to delay aging, which is different from the ability to prolong life, but the effect is similar. The fruits produced by this type of Godsend Seed are no less valuable than soul-type fruits and life-prolonging fruits.
It's just that this tree grows too slowly. Even after growing for one or two hundred years, it is not considered mature. To wait for it to bear fruit,
it would take at least one or two hundred years.
When Siyue was initially selecting the tree species to cultivate among the many tree species, it originally had ideas about it, but after seeing the maturity time that made the spider despair, it had to reluctantly give up.
After telling Artemisia the number of flowers to retain for the Life Seeds, Siyue let it go to work. In recent years, with the increase in Flame Spider warriors, the kingdom has formed a virtuous cycle.
With more Flame Spider warriors, the number of ordinary Little Flame Spiders that can be taken care of has also increased.
With the increase in the number of Little Flame Spiders, the probability of birthing Flame Spider Little Warriors has also greatly increased.
Now, the six tribes of Flame Spider warriors combined can give birth to twenty or thirty Flame Spider warriors every year. As time goes on, this number can still increase.
And with the increase in the number of Flame Spider Little Warriors, various Life Seeds also need to rest from flowering and fruiting or to flower and pollinate. The Bee Queens of the Aromatic Bees and the Purslane Broad Ants in the kingdom are too busy, and the Artemisia Bee Queen is also invited by many Flame Spider warriors to work for pay, and it is also very busy.
From January to April, this period is the busiest time for the kingdom. In January, the Flame Spider merchants have to prepare goods to set off. From February to April, it is the flowering season. Most of the Life Seeds of the Original Seed Flame Spiders flower during this season, and everyone does not dare to slack off.
It wasn't until May, when most of the trees entered the green fruit stage, that everyone was free.
Next to the Date Palm Tree Godsend Seed, Siyue pulled up a huge spider web of hundreds of square meters in the forest. Its two-meter-sized body lay prostrate on the spider web tens of meters high, carefully counting the dates on the date palm tree.
Dates grow in clusters. It asked Artemisia to leave three thousand fruits. Artemisia combed the date flowers and left twenty clusters of dates, each with one hundred and fifty fruits. Now the fruits have grown to the size of soybeans and are growing well.
According to Lord Qingfeng, if there are too many fruits on a Life Seed, it is necessary to supplement a certain amount of Origin Stones.
The situation is a bit bad. Last year and the year before, its Life Seeds rested from flowering and fruiting, and no Origin Power food was produced. The year before last, although it produced Origin Power food worth 30,000 Origin Stones, plus the 10,000 Origin Stones left over from the year before that, Siyue had a total of 40,000 Origin Stones in its claws.
But last year, half of the production of the Date Palm Tree Godsend Seed was given to Lord Longxu, which was 4,500 Origin Stones.
In the same year, it spent 20,000 Origin Stones to ask Mountain Lord Ziyun to make superior fertile soil. It used eight bags itself, and sold two bags to Jixue and Baizhi, replenishing 4,000 Origin Stones.
The remaining money was used to pay wages to the working Flame Spider warriors. Over the past few years, it has spent seven or eight thousand Origin Stones. It also bought a sword at Purple Pine Mountain, which cost 1,000 Origin Stones, and spent 1,000 Origin Stones to have a gathering for everyone.
In total, it still has 15,000 Origin Stones left. It sounds like a lot, but after it advanced to an Advanced Flame Spider, the kingdom no longer covers its growth, and it also needs Origin Power food for its own evolution.
If the Date Palm Tree needs Origin Stones to supplement Origin Power, then it is estimated that the Mangrove Tree will also need Origin Stones to supplement Origin Power.
It also wants to be like the legendary Insect One, only eating Godsend Origin Power food to grow. These ten thousand plus Origin Stones are not enough!
Siyue sighed softly. It originally thought that advancing to an Advanced warrior would bring financial freedom, allowing it to advance one age every year and quickly become a Mountain Lord level Flame Spider, surpassing Mountain Lord Xuanyu and catching up with Mountain Lord Huzhang and Mountain Lord Ziyun. It never expected that after becoming an Advanced Flame Spider, it would still be a poor spider.
"Zhi Le," in the distance, a two-meter-sized Big Cicada flapped its wings and flew over. Danggui also advanced to an Advanced warrior last year, and its body has now reached two meters in length, too big to fit in a pot.
"Danggui, you're here." Siyue lazily moved its claws, and the spider web also trembled.
Danggui landed far away from the spider web. This kind of spider web is a bit different from a spider silk bag, and has strong stickiness.
It had accidentally been stuck to a spider web once, and it struggled for a long time before escaping. Now, it is still afraid when it sees this kind of spider web.
Danggui landed on a tree, and its mental power spread out: "Siyue, I've basically finished the matters in my territory. What about you?"
Siyue: "I don't have anything to do here either. Next, I just have to wait for the fruit to ripen."
Hearing Siyue say this, Danggui cheered happily: "Everything is on the right track."
Siyue smiled easily, "About the same. The remaining daily management can be left to Artemisia."
It has to be said that, compared to other insect races, the Bee and Ant races have huge advantages. Not only do they have the assistance of a Zuo King, but they also have countless worker bees and worker ants doing labor. No wonder that on the Continent of Myriad Kingdoms, a single Bee Queen or Ant Queen can form a kingdom, giving the entire continent the name Myriad Kingdoms.
Angelica widened its two compound eyes. Although the size of its compound eyes wouldn't change, they still shone brightly under the refraction of light: "Fourleaf, when are we going to find Red Tea? We originally agreed on a three-year period, but now we've exceeded that timeframe by a year."
Fourleaf pondered for a moment. Red Tea had a God-given Seed that enhanced mental power, and its evolutionary level was also very suitable for them. Indeed, they couldn't just give up on it.
Previously, Lord Green Maple had told it that even within the Flame Spider Kingdom, after collecting God-given Origin Power foods from the entire continent, there were only 62 types suitable for consumption by mid-to-high-level warriors of their original Flame Spider race. If they added Red Tea's God-given Tea Seeds, that would make 63 types.
It could be said that Red Tea was definitely worth investing in.
"Going there is an option, but I don't know if Red Tea has advanced to become a high-level warrior yet?"
Angelica said uncertainly: "We brought it a set meal of 3,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food last time. That should be enough for it to evolve two to three age stages. It also has Origin Power food of its own to eat, so it should be able to evolve into a high-level warrior, right?"
Fourleaf thought of a problem: "Red Tea is promoted to a high-level warrior. We told it to raise a tree for a year. Does it still have Origin Power food left over?"
Angelica estimated for a moment, its antennae swaying as it said: "Red Tea's life seed produces a limited quality and quantity of products. I, as an insect, estimate that after a year of flower and fruit dormancy, it probably won't have any Origin Power food left over. Should we still go then?"
"Let's take a trip. Let's send it some Origin Stones and Origin Power food. We Flame Spiders are in it for the long haul."
Fourleaf calculated for a moment and said: "You go find Bai Zhi, and have Artemisia come over. I'll go find Lord Green Maple."
"Ah? What are you looking for Lord Green Maple for?"
"I'm going to apply to Lord Green Maple for a top-tier plant seed."
Angelica was a little surprised: "For Red Tea?"
"Yes, its life seed output is too low. Based on the current output, we'll basically lose money on the trip. If we exchange it for a better life seed, we can earn more."
Angelica hesitated: "Will it agree?
If the plant seed given doesn't match its talent and potential, it won't be able to eat it itself, and it can only sell it to Flame Spider merchants. Generally, insects won't agree to such harsh conditions.
Fourleaf smiled mysteriously: "It will definitely agree."
"Okay," Since Fourleaf said so, it must have its reasons.
The two insects split up. Angelica went to find Bai Zhi, and Fourleaf went to find Lord Green Maple.
Lord Green Maple was, as always, practicing its abilities under the Green Maple God-given Seed tree. Fourleaf didn't waste any words when it came over and directly greeted it: "Lord Green Maple, can I apply for a top-tier plant seed for other insects to use as a life seed?"
Lord Green Maple stopped using its abilities and looked at it questioningly: "Who is it for?"
"Ridge Warrior Red Tea on the Star Sand Islands!"
Lord Green Maple's pedipalps twitched slightly: "I've heard you mention this insect before. It has a tea tree God-given Seed, right?"
Fourleaf frantically nodded its pedipalps: "Yes, I feel it can be considered a high-quality customer, so I'm applying for a top-tier plant seed for it."
Lord Green Maple Fourleaf responded repeatedly: "Understood, understood, I understand. Top-tier plant seeds can only be used as life seeds, and I must personally see them being nurtured into the life sac. They cannot be sown outside."
"Yes, the kingdom has a very strict attitude towards the outflow of top-tier plant seeds. No one can break the rules. You must be careful."
"Understood. Lord Green Maple, which plant seed do you think would be better for them to use on the island? Preferably a soil, water, and wind-type seed." Ridge has the talent and potential of these three types. In the beginning, they have to give them a little taste of sweetness.
"Is there a lake on the island? If there is a lake, you can choose the Water Lily plant seed, which comprehensively enhances water-type abilities."
"No, it's just on a small island. If there is a top-tier wind-type plant seed, that would be best."
Lord Green Maple knew Fourleaf's plan after a little thought: "Then give it a Maple Poplar life seed. Let it plant it in the center of the island or in a leeward place so that it doesn't affect the growth of the life seed."
"Okay." Maple Poplar is definitely the top wind-type plant seed. Its seeds hang in bunches when they bear fruit, and the yield is extremely high. Each fruit is only the size of a soybean and has small wings. When the fruit falls, the two small wings can spin all the way down.
Lord Green Maple took out a handful of plump Maple Poplar seeds from the nest chamber and handed them to Fourleaf. Fourleaf hurriedly used a silk sac to pack up the seeds.
Maple Poplar trees can be found everywhere on the Continent of Myriad Races, but the one cultivated by the Flame Spider Kingdom for thousands of years is called Giant Wing Maple Poplar. As the name suggests, the two small wings on its fruit are larger than those of other Maple Poplars, and the quality is better. In a word, it's fierce!
Lord Green Maple also specially reminded: "I want to see Origin Power food within five years after it nurtures it into a life seed in the future, otherwise I will have to personally check it."
"Understood." Fourleaf also responded seriously. After getting the top-tier plant seed, it still had to go back and have a meeting with Bai Zhi and the others.
When it returned to the initial territory, Bai Zhi and Artemisia had already arrived.
Bai Zhi asked: "Fourleaf, I heard that you want to go to the Star Sand Islands recently. I wonder how you plan to arrange it?"
Fourleaf looked at them: "I have already applied to Lord Green Maple for the task of opening up a business route and plan to develop towards the Star Sand Islands. I estimate that I will have to go there every year in the future.
I have an idea. I want to form a trade caravan like the Purple Cloud Mountain Lord and the others to facilitate foreign trade. "Forming a trade caravan?" Bai Zhi, Artemisia, and Angelica were a little surprised. They didn't expect Fourleaf to have such an idea.
Bai Zhi wondered: "If we form a trade caravan, how much will it cost? How should the profits be distributed?"
Their Flame Spider Kingdom is full of trade caravans. It's not like there haven't been trade caravans formed by original Flame Spiders before, so it has a relatively high acceptance of this.
Fourleaf had already prepared a draft: "This is what I think. Everyone will jointly fund the formation of a trade caravan. In the future, I, Bai Zhi, and
Angelica will go to open up business routes together, and Artemisia will stay in the kingdom to take care of the life seeds. In the future, the profits earned by the trade caravan will be divided equally. How about it?"
Several insects thought about it. If everyone opened up business routes together, there really had to be a set of rules, and it would be better to agree on the profits first.
Artemisia, the little Bee Queen, raised its paw and said weakly: "Fourleaf, how much will each insect have to invest?"
It's still in the intermediate stage. The life seed only produces a small amount of Origin Power food, but the kingdom provides food and lodging, so it doesn't have to worry about evolution. However, it's still a little difficult to take out too many Origin Stones.
"We only know a limited number of insects at the moment. Let's each insect take out 1,000 Origin Stones as capital for now!
"Oh," Artemisia breathed a sigh of relief. It could still take out 1,000 Origin Stones. It had previously sold more than 2,000 Origin Stones worth of honey from its nest chamber. It also collected life seed pollen to make Origin Power honey, which could also sell for about 1,000 Origin Stones each year.
Bai Zhi asked: "What about Yun Shi, the little Whale Fish? Should we leave a share for it?"
Fourleaf said: "If it's also willing to invest, then leave a share for it. It's just that I don't know if it can see this little bit of Origin Power food?"
"That's true," Bai Zhi thought of Yun Shi's huge body. 1,000 Origin Stones were just a snack for it. The other party might not really be able to see it.
Angelica raised its paw and asked: "How should we distribute God-given Seeds if we find them?
"Uh," Several insects looked at each other. This question was also very important. Although the probability of finding a God-given Seed was relatively small, Fourleaf had already found many God-given Seeds. This question had to be considered.
Bai Zhi thought for a while and said: "Whoever finds the God-given Seed, nurtures it into a life seed, that's the first point.
Then there's the distribution problem. The previous distribution method was that if a God-given Seed was found, the remaining insects would each take 10% of the share.
In other words, if I find a God-given Seed, then you four remaining insects will each take 10% of the share, is that okay?"
"What if the same insect finds a second or third God-given Seed?"
Fourleaf said unhappily: "Do you think God-given Seeds are cabbages? Can you just count two or three at random?"
Bai Zhi responded seriously: "If a second one is found, then each insect will share half a share. If there is a third one, then there is no need to distribute it."
If the same insect finds two or three God-given Seeds and they don't get a single one, then that means its luck is indeed not good, and it would be embarrassed to ask to share a share. In fact, if it weren't for Fourleaf, who is particularly lucky, they wouldn't dare to think about the problem of a second or third God-given Seed.
Several insects could accept this answer.
Angelica also took the initiative to say: "In that case, I won't be able to manage the territory. If a God-given Seed appears in Fourleaf's territory, the share will go to Artemisia!"
"Is this okay?" Artemisia was a little embarrassed,
Fourleaf said: "Our trade caravan is not like the other five Flame Spiders, which are out all year round. This matter can be discussed slowly in the future."
"There is another question. Since we are forming a trade caravan, what should the trade caravan be called?"
Uh "The trade caravan should be named after the leader of the trade caravan.
"Who will be the leader?"
Angelica and Artemisia scanned back and forth between Fourleaf and Bai Zhi. Was there even a question?
