Natural God's Gift

The Hickory Mountain Master glared at the three-year-old warrior, Bai Zhi, who had raised its claw: "Bai Zhi, are you teaching others? Can you even weave a silk pouch yourself?"

The little Bai Zhi spider weakly lowered its claw: "I can learn it well and then teach Si Ye."

The Hickory Mountain Master chuckled: "Then hurry up and learn. If Si Ye learns it before you do, you'll be a laughingstock."

"I will definitely learn well." Bai Zhi was so ashamed that it almost burrowed its entire body into the fallen leaves.

The Hickory Mountain Master turned to Ji Xue and a few other slightly larger Flame Spiders: "Ji Xue, Shi Wei, weave a silk pouch for me to see, and let me see if you've improved. Si Ye, watch from the side first, and then we'll guide you claw by claw later."

"Okay."

Ji Xue and the others pulled silk from their abdomens and slowly began to weave. Because they were small spiders, their weaving was very slow, and Si Ye watched intently from the side.

The little spiders weaved clumsily. Sometimes, they even had to unravel parts of the silk pouch and weave it again. Under the Hickory Mountain Master's constant guidance, a few crooked silk pouches were finally completed.

"Well, not bad, you can finally weave a silk pouch successfully." Although the silk pouches were ugly, the Hickory Mountain Master was quite satisfied. They were all little spiders that had grown for less than a year or two, so this level was already very good.

"Hickory Mountain Master," Ji Xue raised its claw and asked, "Can we take our silk pouches to exchange for primal stones now?"

The Hickory Mountain Master shook its antennae: "The shape is still a bit off. Practice for a while longer, and then you can take them to exchange for primal stones."

"Silk pouches can be exchanged for primal stones? How many primal stones can one pouch be exchanged for?" Si Ye's eyes lit up completely. It was very poor now and owed a large debt. Hearing that there was a way to get primal stones, the entire spider stood up straight.

Hickory Mountain Master: "They can be exchanged for primal stones. A good-looking number one silk pouch can be exchanged for two primal stones."

Ji Xue raised the silk pouch on its claw: "This kind is a number one silk pouch."

"Silk pouches are fireproof and waterproof, have good toughness, and can also isolate the leakage of primal force. The insectoids use silk pouches when managing their territories and storing primal force food, so the sales volume is quite large.

Silk pouches are divided into numbers 1-6, with number 1 being the smallest and number 6 being the largest. Every year, when the Flame Spider merchants prepare to go out for trade, they will purchase a batch of silk pouches from the small warriors in the clan, which they can give as gifts to trading partners or resell."

"A number one silk pouch is worth two primal stones, so how many primal stones is a number six silk pouch worth?" Si Ye's eight eyes almost turned into primal stones.

The Hickory Mountain Master used silk to poke its little head: "Little Si Ye, number six silk pouches are super large pouches that only lords or insect kings can use. Don't be too ambitious. Learn to weave number one silk pouches first."

"Oh." Si Ye nodded honestly, and then watched the Hickory Mountain Master manipulate silk to weave silk pouches while explaining the key points. It also pulled out a strand of silk from its abdomen and mimicked the operation in a decent manner.

In the following period, Si Ye followed Ji Xue and the others to learn how to weave silk pouches, build nest chambers, learn territory farming techniques, and learn the Flame Spider's writing and business skills from the Hickory Mountain Master.

The daily schedule was very full, but fortunately, there was one day off every five days, which allowed the little Flame Spiders to return to their territories to check the growth of their life seeds.

After five days of learning, according to the kingdom's arrangement, they were allowed to take a day off. The Hickory Mountain Master sent them back one by one. Their territories were concentrated in one area, which was not far for Mountain Master-level Flame Spiders, but it was very far for Flame Spiders who were only junior warriors. The little Flame Spiders rode on the Hickory Mountain Master back to their respective territories, and after getting off the spider, they bid farewell to each other and agreed to play together.

"Shi Wei, goodbye, Bai Zhi, goodbye, Si Ye, goodbye. After taking care of the growth of the life seeds, let's go to the beach to play in the afternoon."

"Okay, see you there." Si Ye and the others stood on the Hickory Mountain Master's head and waved their chelicerae reluctantly to say goodbye.

The Hickory Mountain Master was slightly speechless. It was only a half-day separation, but it was like a farewell to life.

It carried the little warriors back to their territories one by one, and also promised to take them to see the sea in the afternoon, and then come back to pick them up in the afternoon.

Si Ye was the last little Flame Spider warrior to get off the spider. When the Hickory Mountain Master entered its territory and saw Qing Feng, the lord, from afar, Si Ye couldn't wait to climb down the Hickory Mountain Master's carapace, thanked it without looking back, and hurried away.

"Thank you, Hickory Mountain Master, goodbye, Hickory Mountain Master." Si Ye quickly climbed towards the direction of its life seed, wanting to see how the lucky clover was growing.

The Hickory Mountain Master also followed slowly behind, wanting to see how the lucky clover, the God-given seed, was growing.

Si Ye climbed to Qing Feng, the lord's side, and saw that its God-given seed was covered with a strange large lid that was even larger than Qing Feng, the lord. It looked up and greeted with its spiritual power: "Qing Feng, lord, is my lucky clover okay?"

"It's fine." Qing Feng, the lord, was afraid that the lucky clover's God-given seed would be frostbitten on winter nights, so it thoughtfully used the method of making silk pouches to make an airtight spider web shed around it, opening the small opening at the top of the shed during the day to let it get more sun, and closing the top of the shed at night to store the temperature.

It tore open the entrance of the silk shed to let Si Ye go in and see for itself.

After Si Ye climbed into the shed, it found that the temperature inside was a few degrees higher than outside. Even in winter, it felt a little stuffy. The entire shed was sewn with translucent silk, and sunlight could also shine through the spider web, and there was also a large opening on the top to allow sunlight to directly enter, ensuring the primal force and photosynthetic energy required for the God-given seed to grow and evolve.

A large spider checked the situation inside through the hole in the roof. Si Ye took a closer look and found that it was the Hickory Mountain Master.

Looking at the lucky clover's God-given seed, it had grown branches on the original main stem, and a few leaves had also grown on the branches. Ordinary clovers were only about ten centimeters high, but its lucky clover had already grown to more than twenty centimeters high, and the main stem was also much thicker than ordinary clovers.

Si Ye could also feel a constant stream of primal force being transmitted from the lucky clover's stem into its body to help it grow and evolve.

Si Ye happily jumped around the lucky clover's God-given seed: "Yay, yay, the lucky clover can speed up my growth."

Qing Feng, the lord, outside reminded when it saw this: "Si Ye, come out, the lucky clover is still very tender, don't step on it."

"Got it." Seeing that the lucky clover was growing well, Si Ye also put down the worries in its heart these days.

Walking out of the shed, Si Ye sincerely thanked: "Thank you, Qing Feng, lord, for taking care of my lucky clover."

"It's okay, just focus on learning, you don't need to worry about other things. I said I would take good care of the lucky clover."

Although the Hickory Mountain Master was a little strange why Qing Feng, the lord, would be guarding a herbaceous God-given seed, it reasoned that the small warrior's life seed should be guarded by its Mountain Master-level or senior warrior elders, but thinking that Si Ye might be a wild Flame Spider brought back from outside and didn't have its own direct elders, Qing Feng, the lord, might be intentionally taking care of it, so it didn't think much about it.

It said to Qing Feng, the lord: "Qing Feng, lord, I'll go back first, I'll come over in the afternoon to pick up little Si Ye and the others to play at the beach."

Qing Feng, the lord, nodded and let it leave, while it went to catch a wild rabbit nearby and manipulated silk to slice the rabbit meat and feed it to Si Ye: "Little Si Ye, what have you learned these few days?"

Si Ye responded while sending food into its mouth: "These few days, the Hickory Mountain Master taught us how to weave spider silk pouches, but I'm not very good at it yet.

It also taught us how to sow and cultivate in the territory, cultivate saplings, and nurture life seeds.

And and and, the Hickory Mountain Master taught us a lot of knowledge, and also taught us to write the Flame Spider Kingdom's script, which is very difficult. Bai Zhi and I still can't learn it."

"The Flame Spider Kingdom's script can't be learned in a few days. You have to study it for a long time. Do you like to study?"

Si Ye happily said: "I like being able to study and play with my friends. Learning makes me happy.

Ji Xue and the others also gave me a lot of small gifts, such as small conch shells and shells, and they also gave me primal force food, but I ate them all."

Si Ye put down the claws holding the meat and took out the conch shells and shells from the small silk pouch on its body to show Qing Feng, the lord. The silk pouch was given to it by Green Earth last time when it was carrying the morning glory God-given seed. As for itself, it couldn't weave silk pouches yet.

As a lord-level large spider, what hadn't Qing Feng, the lord, seen? Naturally, it wasn't interested in conch shells and shells: "Well, you have to study hard. If you lay a good foundation, you won't suffer losses when managing your territory and trading in the future."

Hearing this, Si Ye was a little restless: "Qing Feng, lord, can I follow the Purple Cloud Trade Caravan to do business together?"

"No," Qing Feng, the lord, refused outright: "Our wild Flame Spider warriors have their own territories and rooted life seeds, and don't need to risk their lives to travel around. You already have two God-given seeds, so you are considered a wealthy insectoid, and you don't need to take this risk even more."

"Oh," Si Ye lowered its head a little disappointedly. When it was with the Purple Cloud Trade Caravan, it often heard Torch boast about various experiences, all kinds of insectoids in the Myriad Races Continent, the beast race that came and went like the wind, and all kinds of experiences made it yearn for them.

Perhaps feeling that its tone was too strong, Qing Feng, the lord, hesitated for a moment, and its tone softened: "Perhaps when you become strong in the future and become a lord or insect king, you can travel around at that time."

Si Ye's eyes shone again: "Become a lord or insect king?"

"Yes, after becoming an insect king, you will be fearless of any danger on the continent."

Si Ye cheered itself up excitedly: "Okay, I will definitely work hard to reach the insect king."

After encouraging Si Ye, Qing Feng, the lord, began to manipulate silk to cut the rabbit meat and feed it to Si Ye.

After Si Ye was full, it turned over and lay on the ground, with its abdomen facing the sun. It waited for the Hickory Mountain Master to come and pick it up to play at the beach, and by the way, color its belly.
