Natural God's Gift

After Bai Zhi and the others returned to the kingdom, they didn't run off to other places. Bai Zhi also had to manage its own territory and couldn't rely entirely on Artemisia.

Mainly, there were many things that Artemisia and its bees were not suited to do. Collecting honey, pollinating, and building nests were fine.

But things like logging, expanding territory, and building canals were beyond the bees' capabilities.

Besides Bai Zhi having to manage the territory, Danggui was also caught by Siyue to dig ditches for it at the Twin Peaks.

It's just that Yun Shi couldn't come ashore, otherwise Siyue would have dragged it to plow a few acres of land.

From July to September, they took a day off every other day because of the summer rainstorms, which resulted in the twenty-odd spiders plus one cicada not even digging out a single ditch.

Fortunately, there was some good news. The Jue Ming Zi divine seed awakened its soul consciousness in early July. Compared to the stupidity of the divine morning glory, Jue Ming Zi had a much better temper. Other than not liking other insects near it, it had no other shortcomings.

Time flew by, and it was already October. Siyue found that time passed quickly when it was constantly working.

October was the season of harvest. This year, it had allowed many lifeforms to bloom and bear fruit without reservation. After the lifeforms had produced a large number of fruits, the ordinary lifeforms bloomed as usual in spring and bore fruit in autumn, while the fruiting period of several divine seeds was extended to two years for one harvest.

This was normal. The burden on a tree bearing one fruit was different from bearing a thousand fruits.

Moreover, the fruits on their trees were far more than just a thousand.

Among the many divine seeds this year, only the divine morning glory seeds produced divine morning glory seeds this year,

and the divine purple eggplant seeds produced divine purple eggplants this year. The other divine seeds would have to wait until next year for production.

The divine morning glory seed focused all its energy on keeping flowers and fruits this year, retaining a total of 1152 fruits. The yield could only be described as touching to a spider.

One divine morning glory seed was worth 8 primordial stones, and each fruit contained two seeds. The total value of the divine morning glory seeds produced this year was 18432 primordial stones.

Moreover, in order to ensure the primordial energy quality of the divine morning glory seeds, Artemisia also took 3000 primordial stones to replenish its primordial energy. Calculating this way, the annual output of a divine seed was only 15000 primordial stones, which was simply embarrassing for the title of divine seed.

As for the divine purple eggplant seed, what can I say? It felt about the same as the divine morning glory seed.

Siyue thought it could produce very large eggplants. There were eggplant trees cultivated in the kingdom, and the eggplants grown on them were large and delicious.

But unexpectedly, the eggplants produced by its divine purple eggplant seed were only three or four centimeters long, about the size of a chili pepper.

Only after asking Lord Qingfeng did it know that wild eggplants outside were like this. Only eggplants that had been cultivated by insects again would grow very well.

The divine purple eggplant seed was the first harvest after growth, and the total value of the purple eggplants produced was 19412 primordial stones. Replenishing primordial energy cost 2000 primordial stones, and eggplants were similar to snakeberries and strawberries, not suitable for long-term storage. The output and value were only average.

On the other hand, its ordinary lifeforms each produced about 7000 primordial stones. This year, eight ordinary lifeforms produced, and the total output value soared to 60,000 primordial stones, which was equivalent to two or three divine seeds like morning glory.

And lifeforms like the chinquapin tree and the sea soul fir only produce once every two years, so the total price can only be calculated next year.

After deducting the primordial stones consumed, it harvested a total of 93254 primordial stones this year. This amount was not very large. After deducting the square primordial stones issued to Bai Zhi and the others, it still had more than five square primordial stones worth of primordial energy food left. It had enough resources to evolve to the third age.

After harvesting all the primordial energy food, they finally had some free time to rest.

Only Danggui didn't know what it was doing, busy all day long. Siyue took the opportunity when it returned to the Twin Peaks to rest and curiously asked it: "Danggui, what are you busy with all day long?"

Danggui said as a matter of course: "Didn't we say before that the shellfish on Tianya Reef are growing better? I moved all the shellfish from Hulu Beach to Tianya Reef for breeding."

Siyue: ".—"

This guy still hasn't given up on the plan to produce primordial pearls.

"Didn't your plan fail?"

"I moved them to Tianya Reef to see if I can get the shells to produce primordial pearls."

"Uh," Siyue was a little speechless at Danggui's stubbornness, but since it was going to rest for the next two days anyway and had nothing else to do, it followed Danggui to see how it was raising shellfish on Tianya Reef.

Siyue followed Danggui to Tianya Reef and quietly watched Danggui and Bai Zhi tinkering with these things together.

Danggui and Bai Zhi were very smart, or maybe they had raised shellfish for so many years that they had gained experience.

They wove spider silk threads into spider silk ropes, and then tied floating wood to the ropes at intervals.

Dozens or hundreds of spider silk ropes were strung together to form a square-shaped net floating on the sea.

Then they used another spider silk rope to tie a stone to one end and the wood to the other, so that the spider silk rope was subjected to gravity on one side and buoyancy on the other, directly perpendicular to the sea surface.

Under the sea, there were spider silk ropes connecting all the vertical spider silk ropes together.

Then there was the second layer, the third layer, and the fourth layer.

They connected and bound them layer by layer, and they forcibly created a three-dimensional net-like breeding farm in the deep sea area.

Danggui put a dozen or twenty shellfish, about four or five millimeters in size, into a spider silk bag, and then left a large opening and tied it to the spider silk rope, so that the shellfish would actively parasitize on the spider silk rope. The shellfish that could not parasitize would escape, but Danggui didn't care if they escaped.

According to this method, Danggui pulled up dozens of acres of land on the sea. It didn't know if it would succeed, but it had the appearance. The area of Tianya Reef was very large, and Danggui's actions would not affect Lord Longxu and the others from landing. Danggui also deliberately avoided the area where they often appeared.

Siyue watched Danggui swim back and forth on the water, tying one spider silk bag after another under the spider silk rope in the water, busy non-stop.

It looked at Bai Zhi again: "Danggui wants to cultivate primordial pearls, what are you busy with?"

Bai Zhi was happily packing shellfish for Danggui on the shore. Hearing Siyue's words, it smacked its lips: "Didn't you say this thing is not easy to do?

Then wouldn't the shellfish raised by Danggui be useless? Danggui promised me that all the useless shellfish would be given to me to eat. Shellfish are delicious, I like them."

Siyue: ".—"

This guy, even after being promoted to a high-level warrior, is still so gluttonous.

It felt a little speechless, but it didn't say anything. Who doesn't have a hobby? As long as it doesn't delay its affairs,

it doesn't care what Danggui raises.
