Natural God's Gift

After a brief chat, upon learning that it was already the beginning of spring, Fourleaf looked up at the Lucky Clover Divine Seed across from the nest chamber. The flowers that had bloomed profusely last year now appeared somewhat withered.

Fourleaf walked to the Lucky Clover Divine Seed tree, emanating mental thoughts to ask the Lucky Clover: "Lucky, I see that your flowers are starting to wither. Are you about to start bearing fruit?"

"Yes," having had the experience of bearing fruit for the first time, the Lucky Clover Divine Seed now had some experience: "I estimate that green fruits will be produced in another ten days to half a month."

Fourleaf continued, "Is the flowering period still a year? Is the fruiting period the same as before?"

Lucky Clover responded: "Fourleaf, at the advanced stage, I mainly rely on extracting the life force from the Life Godstone to produce Divine-quality fruits, so I estimate that the fruiting period shouldn't change much.

If there really are changes, then it will probably have to wait until the Mountain Lord level."

"Alright then." Not hearing what it wanted to hear, Fourleaf wasn't disappointed. It had expected this result.

With a small silk bag hanging on its carapace, Fourleaf turned to Angelica and said, "I'm going to take the first-year Life Seed to Twin Peaks for planting. Go find Artemisia and have it go to Twin Peaks as well."

Fourleaf chose Thunder Vine as its Life Seed in the second year. Its Cassia Seed Divine Seed was to be taken to Twin Peaks for planting. Besides this, it had other matters to attend to.

Angelica flapped its wings and chirped happily twice: "Then I'll go find Artemisia."

Fourleaf didn't care where it went to find it, and went to Twin Peaks on its own.

On the way, it tested the range of its mental power. In the first year, its mental power range was 150 meters.

After reaching the second year, its mental power range reached around 190 meters.

As for other aspects of the body, because it had just evolved, its carapace was still somewhat soft and hadn't fully adapted. It would have to wait for a while to know the specific data.

Returning to Twin Peaks, after a little over a month of cultivation, Fire Maple and the other twenty spiders working together had cleared out a 150 * 150 open space on Twin Peaks.

This open space appeared somewhat abrupt in the dense mountain forest, and was also on the side of the mountain peak, looking like a bald head of a beastman from afar.

Fourleaf itself didn't mind. It got half a cubic meter of fertile soil and buried it in the very center of the open space, and then planted the Cassia Seed Divine Seed in the middle.

After it finished watering the Cassia Seed Divine Seed, Angelica and Artemisia also arrived here.

"Fourleaf,"

"Fourleaf, we're here." Angelica and Artemisia spread their wings and landed in front of Fourleaf one after another.

Both insects were now two meters in size, and the flapping of their wings was like two small fighter jets, stirring up clumps of dead branches and fallen leaves.

Fourleaf raised the leaves that almost blew onto its face and spoke to Artemisia, who had just arrived: "Artemisia, all of my Life Seeds will be flowering and bearing fruit this year. Your task is a bit heavy. There are a lot of Life Seeds now. Can you take care of them all?"

Artemisia looked solemn. If all of Fourleaf's Life Seeds flowered and bore fruit, there would be 18 Life Seeds producing. Excluding the Lucky Clover Divine Seed, which didn't need attention, there were still 17 Life Seeds producing, seven of which were Divine Seeds.

Adding Artemisia's own Life Seeds, Bai Zhi's, Angelica's, Snowdrop's, Rejuvenation's, and the other thirty-odd Flame Spiders, there were almost over five hundred Life Seeds.

Among so many Life Seeds, Snowdrop, Rejuvenation, and the others only needed to have their honey collected once in the spring.

Fourleaf, Bai Zhi, Angelica, and its own Life Seeds needed careful care, watering, weeding, fertilizing, and so on.

Artemisia: "During my time as a mid-level warrior, I also bred an Artemisia Assistant King. With Artemisia and Artemisia leaves helping to command the bee colony, it shouldn't delay things."

"Mm," Artemisia wasn't lacking ordinary bees under its command. The number even reached tens of millions. However, even with the Primal Force Bee Queen commanding, ordinary bees would only collect honey.

High-difficulty tasks, such as weeding and fertilizing, still had to rely on the Half-Primal Force Worker Bees produced by Artemisia itself.

Somewhat different from ordinary bees, the Primal Force Bee Queen needed to expend its own Primal Energy and Primal Force accumulation to lay eggs.

There were only three egg-laying periods in a year, and only 300 eggs were produced in a day. Exceeding this number would affect its own evolution speed. ①

Currently, Artemisia's Half-Primal Force bee colony only had about five thousand. These Half-Primal Force bees had to regularly eat Primal Force food, otherwise their lifespan would be greatly reduced. There were too many, and Artemisia couldn't afford to raise them.

Fortunately, the bee colony ate Primal Force honey, which was also a kind of Primal Force food, so Artemisia's burden wasn't that heavy.

Another reason was that they didn't have that many Assistant Kings. Without enough Assistant Kings to command the bee colony, these Half-Primal Force bees weren't that agile and couldn't do fine work.

Fourleaf said: "I'm planting my first-year Life Seed here. I have to guard it for a while. Angelica, the Primal Force food reserves for trading with the traveling merchants will have to rely on you and Bai Zhi to work on."

"Fourleaf, don't worry, we won't have any problems here." Everyone had gathered 100,000 Primal Stones by the end of the year. Next, they just needed to buy, buy, buy.

After the matter was settled, Angelica asked: "Fourleaf, is there anything else? If not, we'll get busy."

Fourleaf said: "There's nothing else. You can each go and get busy!"

In the new year, that was all that was related to the trade caravan. Other things would have to wait until the trade caravan set off.

It itself, the spider, still had some personal matters to attend to.

The first thing was naturally the matter of the Divine Seed sprouting. It put up dense spider webs around the Cassia Seed Divine Seed, ensuring that not even a mosquito could enter this area.

It guarded the Divine Seed for three days. After it sprouted, Fourleaf sent Fire Maple to guard it here for it.

It went to take care of some other things.

Leaving Twin Peaks, it went to the Kingdom Abyss to find Ginkgo Lord. According to the previous agreement, it could choose a Divine Gift in the second year.

Fourleaf followed Ginkgo Lord to the Kingdom Secret Vault again.

Ginkgo Lord led the way in front, pointing to the many Divine Gifts in the Secret Vault and said: "Fourleaf, which Divine Gift do you want to choose in the second year?"

"Let me see," Fourleaf walked among the many Divine Gifts.

As mentioned earlier, the most suitable talents to match Fourleaf's wood-type talent were water and earth-type talents. It had consumed a lot of Abyssal Heavy Water last year. If possible this year, it naturally wanted to choose an earth-type Divine Gift.

There were five types of earth-type Divine Gifts in the kingdom. Besides the Earth God Milk, there was also Black Plain Ointment Soil and Arctic Frozen Soil, as well as two types of Five Peaks Soil, Five Peaks Soil - Mount Tai Stone, Five Peaks Soil - Mount Heng Stone. ①

Among them, Black Plain Ointment Soil and Arctic Frozen Soil also had the ability to grant earth-type talents.

As for the Five Peaks Soil, eating Mount Tai Stone had a chance to grant an ability heavier than Mount Tai, while eating Mount Heng Stone could extend lifespan. This was more precious, and Fourleaf couldn't afford it, so I won't introduce them one by one.

Fourleaf stood in front of the two Divine Gifts, somewhat conflicted. There were quite a few of both Divine Gifts, but it would take eating a liter of soil to increase the talent awakening probability by 1%. This efficiency was a bit too low.

If it wants a 50% chance of awakening, it would have to eat 50 liters of soil. With that much, it could eat soil as its main food this year. Eating some soil isn't a big deal, but it also plans to advance one instar per year. Eating so much soil will definitely delay its evolution.

Ginkgo Lord saw Si Ye's hesitation and then said, "Si Ye, if you want to awaken the earth-type talent, why not wait a few more years until the karst cave forbidden area produces new Earth God Milk to eat? That way, you won't have to eat so much soil."

"You can also choose wind-type or metal-type God-given items first."

Si Ye also quite wants the wind-type God-given items. In the secret vault, there is a wind-type God-given item called North Wind. It blows from the Arctic, bringing coldness and death, and is a God-given item produced in the same territory as the Arctic permafrost.

Especially since the Abyssal Heavy Water is also a cold-natured God-given item, which makes Si Ye even more tempted. If it continuously consumes a certain type of biased God-given item, there is a chance that it will give birth to that biased ability.

After thinking for a while, Si Ye said, "Ginkgo Lord, give me a portion of Arctic permafrost!"

"You want Arctic permafrost?" Ginkgo Lord thought Si Ye would wait for the Earth God Milk to be produced.

"Just Arctic permafrost," it had already prepared the God-given Terminalia Mantaly fruit and had also traded with the Ziyun Caravan for many kinds of earth-type God-given Origin Power foods. If it were to switch to other types of God-given items, it would have to collect different types of God-given Origin Power foods.

"Then it's Arctic permafrost." Ginkgo Lord opened the God-restricted device and took out the Arctic permafrost stored inside.

There was a large quantity of Arctic permafrost in the secret vault, enough to fill three God-restricted devices.

The permafrost was ice-white, with grains like sand that did not merge together. Ginkgo Lord used a spider silk bag to directly pack 50 liters of this permafrost. This kind of permafrost is similar to Dragon Scale Soil. As long as it is not placed in an environment that extremely restrains their attributes, the divinity within will not be lost.

Si Ye twisted a grain of Arctic permafrost between its claws to examine it. A burst of coldness came from the tip, but in a moment,

a layer of white frost condensed on its claw tip.

Abyssal Heavy Water also carries coldness, but it feels that Arctic permafrost is much colder than Abyssal Heavy Water. This is a God-given item naturally carrying ice attributes in the water.

It ate the grain of permafrost on its fingertip, and then felt a chill erupting from its mouth, flowing directly to its throat and falling into its stomach. In an instant, it felt a chill in its large abdomen.

Fortunately, it didn't eat much, and this feeling was fleeting.

Ginkgo Lord handed the spider silk bag filled with Arctic permafrost to Si Ye. In just a moment, the spider silk bag became eerily cold.

Si Ye didn't say much and left the kingdom's abyss with the spider silk bag on its back. If there are no accidents, it will come again next year.

In the following days, it stayed by the God-given Cassia Seed, watching it grow while constantly eating soil.

Arctic permafrost is even harder to chew than Abyssal Heavy Water. Although spiders can also eat a little soil, it is rare for them to eat it as their main food like it does.

Moreover, earth-type God-given items are more difficult to digest than water-type God-given items. It has to spend several days digesting the divinity within this divine object each time it eats it before it can continue eating.

Another two or three months passed. During Si Ye's continuous soil-eating process, Danggui and Baizhi bought many Origin Power foods and came to find Si Ye after dealing with matters in their own territories.

In April, the mountains and forests were full of flowers and lush greenery. Danggui and Baizhi came to Twin Peaks to ask Si Ye: "Si Ye, we have prepared everything. When are we going to Red Tea Island and Yinmei Continent this year?"

They went there in May last year. This year, they are not sure when Si Ye plans to go. It's not long before May now.

Si Ye frowned, looking at the God-given Cassia Seed that had only grown to be over a meter tall. This God-given Seed is only a little over a meter tall, and it will soon give birth to a soul consciousness. It can't leave.

Si Ye said, "Let's go in another two months. Anyway, it doesn't matter if we go earlier or later."

Baizhi and Danggui grew up with Si Ye. With just a look, they knew what Si Ye was thinking.

Baizhi knew Si Ye's worries and volunteered, "Si Ye, you have to evolve your instar and guard the Life Seed. You have so many things to do, so stay in the kingdom. Why don't I take the caravan to Xing Sha Islands to trade this year?"

"You go?" Si Ye was a little surprised.

"Yes," Baizhi said as a matter of course, "Anyway, I haven't broken through yet, and I don't have a Life Seed that has just been sown to guard. Moreover, I have traded with Hongcha alone with Danggui before, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Si Ye: "I'm not worried about Hongcha. We've traded there several times, and the prices of Origin Power foods are fixed.

I'm more concerned about Yinmei Continent. Last year, many Origin Power foods were not traded, and this year, there is also the Mountain Lord-level God-given Snakeberry Fruit that needs to be priced."

Baizhi said, "Si Ye, don't worry. I'm also a Flame Spider Traveling Merchant. There won't be any problems with pricing."

Danggui also chimed in, "Yes, this year, there were no God-given Tea Seeds or God-given Yinmei produced. It's all just ordinary Origin Power food trading. The prices of most Origin Power foods have been set before. With us here, there won't be any problems."

"Okay, you guys try going first this year." Si Ye was a little hesitant at first, but then thought that Baizhi always has to stand on her own. It's good to leave some ordinary Origin Power food trading to her, so that it can save Si Ye a lot of time.

However, although the matter has been decided to be left to them, some things still need to be explained.

"This year, only one type of God-given Origin Power food trade is more important. The others are just routine trades, so I'm not worried about that."

"It's just that for Zimu, you guys bring 4,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power foods for my private spider.

Also, last year, I gave it three top-grade plant seeds. When you go over, check if it has nurtured them into Life Seeds?

I originally wanted to go see them at the end of last year, but I was in a hurry to come back last year and forgot to go see them. We can't let it secretly cultivate them into ordinary plant seeds."

"Okay," Baizhi readily agreed.

In fact, they are not very worried that this kind of thing will happen. What was given to Zimu were seeds of Dialium indum and Baobab.

These two kinds of plant seeds, one is for metal-type ability enhancement, and the other is for earth-type ability enhancement. Zimu doesn't have these two talent potentials, so it would be crazy to violate the order to secretly sow these plant seeds.

Si Ye took out a beautifully crafted spider silk bag from its carapace. It shook the spider silk bag: "There are two top-grade plant seeds here, one is a redwood seed, and the other is a sweetsop seed. Give them to Zimu when the time comes."

"Okay," Baizhi asked, "Do we need to give any to Hongcha?"

Si Ye asked back: "Hongcha didn't ask for it itself, so why should we be so proactive?

Don't worry, it will eventually ask us for help."

After everyone discussed it, they decided to let Baizhi and Danggui take the goods to travel and trade on their own this year.

However, when leaving the kingdom, Si Ye still sent them to the coast, and then summoned Yunshi, watching them move away from the coast before returning to Twin Peaks.
