Astral Cockroach

Traveling merchants ventured far and wide, understanding the plight of small splinter tribes like the Red Ant Tribe: located in barren borderlands, they were fortunate if one or two Ant Kings emerged to protect the tribe and ensure prosperity for a thousand years. However, if luck was terrible, the tribe could face extinction.

Zhong Lou understood the immense significance of Red Firmament Princess's promotion to Ant King. He didn't advise Banbu to purchase other Origin Force foods and even asked Xuemai to round up the number, giving two extra, paying 11,700 Origin Stones.

Transaction complete.

Zhong Lou then asked, "Peak Master Banbu, when do you plan to start selling Rain Bamboo seeds?"

Banbu said, "Whether Rain Bamboo can flower and bear fruit every year remains to be confirmed. Furthermore, it will take two to three years for related bamboo seeds to be cultivated on a large scale. I don't plan to sell them externally for the time being."

Banbu said, "However, if it is confirmed this year, I may consider selling a small amount next year. Your caravan can use it for preliminary promotion."

Zhong Lou asked, "The specific price cannot be determined for the time being either?"

Banbu said, "A young warrior from Li Bamboo Peak has nurtured an ordinary Rain Bamboo Life Seed. It was sown in the spring and is growing well. We can harvest a few bamboo fruits this year and determine the quality of the bamboo seed."

Zhong Lou said, "Price it based on the quality of the bamboo seed? No problem!"

Zhong Lou's gaze then turned to the Blood Thorn God-given Seed at the foot of the mountain, looking at it with envy, and he exclaimed, "Last year, the Blood Thorn yield was not low, right?"

Banbu said, "The yield has slightly increased, and it has reached its limit. It will only increase when I break through and advance to Peak Master."

Zhong Lou sincerely said, "Banbu, Peak Master is not in a hurry. I hope you can successfully advance to County Princess in the future, and even become an Ant King."

"I will." Banbu changed the subject and said, "Peak Master Zhong Lou, can you tell me about the Red Crow Ghost King? Does its territory have the Rainbow Cold Bamboo variety? Golden Thread Bamboo cannot be sold, but in terms of other bamboo varieties, I hope to have some exchanges with it."

"Rainbow Cold Bamboo? Is it used to hybridize with that Rainbow Bitter Bamboo?" Zhong Lou said, "Among the bamboo varieties that the Red Crow Ghost King entrusted our caravan to find, there is Rainbow Cold Bamboo. It can be confirmed that it does not have this bamboo variety."

Zhong Lou said, "Banbu, the Red Crow Ghost King should also be very interested in Rainbow Bitter Bamboo. Are you willing to sell it?"

"No." Banbu's tone softened slightly, and he said, "I can exchange it. If it can come up with a similar bamboo variety that can flower and bear fruit every year, I can consider exchanging it."

Zhong Lou said, "Then I'll ask again."

Banbu asked, "Does the Red Crow Ghost King have this type of bamboo variety?"

"I can't be sure." Zhong Lou explained, "The Red Crow Mountain alone has a population of over eight thousand insects, with layers upon layers of strict defense. Caravans cannot easily enter the Red Crow Ghost King's territory. Even if they are allowed to enter, they must follow the prescribed route and cannot wander around."

"Understood." Banbu said, "Peak Master Zhong Lou, then please also help me inquire about the Rainbow Cold Bamboo and other precious bamboo varieties."

Zhong Lou agreed, "That's for sure."

… …

The Zhong Lou caravan departed.

Banbu immediately mobilized all members of Li Bamboo Peak to take action, starting to move the Golden Thread Bamboo, Rainbow Bitter Bamboo, Cloud Silk Golden Bamboo - No. 1, and Rainbow Red Bamboo - No. 1 planted at the foot of the mountain to the mountain.

At the same time, rules were set that any excess bamboo seeds that might be produced in the future could not be privately collected or spread to the outside world. Following the example of Red Firmament Princess, they would be collected and destroyed.

The Red Crow Ghost King and the Zhong Lou caravan severely underestimated the value of the Golden Thread Bamboo.

200,000 Origin Stones?

If it could only cultivate bamboo varieties like Green Bamboo, 200,000 Origin Stones would be a fair price.

However, since it can easily cultivate the three-system hybrid Rain Bamboo, then its value is immeasurable! Firmly controlling the Golden Thread Bamboo seed and breeding technology, creating a wealth of 200,000 Origin Stones is easy!

Not only that, in the future, under Banbu's leadership, the Brocade Screen Mountain Range will develop and prosper, and "bamboo seeds" will be the symbolic plant. Other insect races, upon hearing "bamboo," will immediately think of "Li Bamboo Peak" and "Banbu's" name, and the Red Ant Tribe.

Just as, when mentioning Tung Oil Tree, one immediately thinks of the Flying Fire Ant Tribe.

When mentioning Pine Oil, one immediately thinks of the Giant Cockroach Tribe.

Banbu also has a bit of ambition to spread the three names of Li Bamboo Peak, Banbu, and the Red Ant Tribe throughout the continent through bamboo seeds, making them known to all insects.

… …

Banbu distributed three sets of meals worth 1,000 Origin Stones each to Big Head, Big Bear, and King Rat. They are currently the most effective members and urgently need to strengthen their physique to grow and evolve better.

Banbu kept a set of meals worth 3,000 Origin Stones for himself. Among them, the 3 green grapes were singled out again, one was given to Putao, because she plans to advance to a seventh-year advanced warrior this year. Two were used on King Rat. King Rat is older, and Banbu hopes it can grow and evolve faster, but is worried that the speed will be too fast and it will die suddenly in the middle.

Six little bamboo rat warriors, except for White Bamboo, the other five, including Mottled Bamboo, have begun to evolve into advanced warriors one after another. They are still young. Beast warriors have meridians that can be cultivated, and evolution is easier than insects, so there is no need to worry too much.

White Bamboo is often bullied, and the Origin Force food distributed is always snatched away, and growth is slow. Banbu has no other good way, so he can only single it out and distribute Origin Force food separately, giving as much as it eats.

Banbu is not in a hurry for Fragrant Cattail, Red Rice, Belly Bamboo, and Red Rice to grow. Safety first, honing the physique, steady and steady, uniform growth is good. Next year, when he has extra money, he will buy high-quality Origin Force food to strengthen their physique.

Half a month later, the Jade Bamboo Caravan rushed from the direction of the Sheep Hoof Mountain Range.

Banbu went down the mountain to greet them and called Feng Ling over along the way.

"Jade Bamboo, how is the sales of Green Bamboo seeds?"

"In short supply, Banbu, you can give me more this year. You know, County Princess Huang Jing has good relations with many caravans, and 20,000 are not enough."

An expected result.

Zhong Lou has a way to sell out the bamboo seeds, and Jade Bamboo, backed by County Princess Huang Jing, will definitely be able to do it.

Banbu said, "I can't get 20,000, let's do 10,000."

Jade Bamboo said, "Okay, Banbu, if you want to make a fortune, you should quickly expand the planting scale of bamboo seeds."

Banbu complained, "Hybrid breeding is not just about expanding the scale to produce on a large scale. It also requires precise control of the bee colony to collect pollen and pollinate. Even so, what condenses out may not all be Green Bamboo, and there is also a seed selection process. Selecting seeds requires checking with mental power, which is a very tedious task."

"I understand, Banbu, then you should consider redeeming a few more young warriors to help with the labor." Jade Bamboo's personality also has a straightforward side, and continued:

"I heard in the Sheep Hoof Mountain Range that Red Firmament Princess bought a Longevity Peach, which cost 2 million Origin Stones! Your Red Ant Tribe has to devote the strength of the entire tribe to repay the debt."

"Banbu, I'm afraid you won't be buying goods from me this year, right?"

Banbu glanced at Jade Bamboo's back and thought to himself: You don't have any goods to sell either.

"Yes, I need to save a large sum of Origin Stones to help Red Firmament Princess." Banbu replied.

"Understood." Jade Bamboo followed the mountain trade road and quickly climbed up the mountain, her footsteps suddenly stopped, she turned her head, looked at the Rain Bamboo God-given Seed, and asked with difficulty:

"A, another… a God-given Seed?!"

Banbu replied, "Yes, a brand new bamboo variety cultivated last year, I named it 'Rain Bamboo'. If nothing else, it can flower and bear fruit every year."

"The Zhong Lou caravan has already been here, right?" Jade Bamboo suddenly jumped up and wailed, "When I was in Autumn Maple County, I thought about going straight to Li Bamboo Peak… What a pity! I missed a big deal!"
