Astral Cockroach

A Dominator-class metal core is one of the most durable substances in the universe.

How could it be melted by a mouthful of flames?

Ban Bu could only guess that it was due to the mutation of his soul, and later, the large absorption of unowned mental power, which led to a high degree of compatibility between his soul and the metal core.

Such a situation was unprecedented, and there had never even been a similar case.

Completely incomprehensible, thinking it over and over, he couldn't figure out the principle behind it.

…

Ban Bu's life began to become regular.

During the day, he would either lie motionless at the entrance of the cave, or suddenly jump up and perform various strange and strenuous exercises.

This was to collect bloodline and heart information in preparation for deducing cultivation methods.

As dusk approached, he would immediately start circling the life-form plants, absorbing the Origin Power they had accumulated during the day, one by one, and incorporating it into his own use, even the 1.5-meter-tall Fire Oil Pine life-form sapling on the top of the mountain was not spared.

The Origin Power absorbed was injected into the divine power patterns.

…

Early spring.

The beast extermination operation ended.

The beast troubles in the Iron Saber Mountains and Jin Ping Mountains were basically brought under control.

After much persuasion, the Crimson Armor Roach King finally agreed to leave the Yellow Stripe Mountain Lord and 5 high-level warriors, mainly to help transport beehives and collect honey in the spring, and secondly to help guard Li Zhu Peak.

Li Zhu Peak had Ban Bu and Big Bear, two Mountain Lord-level existences, as well as Feng Ling, Red Rice, and Du Zhu, three high-level warriors, and Red Rice was also about to be promoted to a high-level warrior, so the overall combat power was not weak.

There were also seven bamboo rat warriors responsible for guarding, and Camellia could be responsible for reconnaissance, so the possibility of encountering danger was very small.

…

As the weather warmed up, ordinary small cockroaches that woke up from hibernation found that there was no protection from high-level warriors around, and there were also various natural enemies such as birds, snakes, and rats, so they began to crawl around randomly.

In response, Ban Bu could only try his best to salvage the situation, taking Feng Ling, Red Rice, and the others down the mountain every day to release their aura, drive away natural enemies, and投放肉食, trying to gather some ordinary small cockroaches as much as possible.

It didn't last long, the temperature rose day by day, the ordinary small cockroaches entered the breeding season, and the birds, snakes, and rats also entered the breeding season. If the aura deterrence was not enough, these hateful predators would risk climbing up the mountain to prey. The ordinary small cockroaches would instinctively disperse and climb into the dense forest to escape from natural enemies.

This is a bit like the legendary "rout like a landslide," right?

The collapse of ordinary small cockroaches could not be stopped even if Ban Bu was promoted to Mountain Lord.

With a fluke mentality, maybe some of the ordinary small cockroaches that scurried into the jungle would be lucky enough to awaken their Origin Power and evolve into small warriors? Camellia and the seven bamboo rat warriors were sent out to search.

…

In mid-January, Mountain Lord Hua Bai brought a county princess from Qiu Feng County to催生 the wild Cliff Arborvitae God-given seed.

The tree was 25 meters tall, which was not the limit height of the Cliff Arborvitae God-given seed, and the growth rate after 催生 was obviously slow.

After continuous 催生, the Cliff Arborvitae God-given seed was still a little overwhelmed. Mountain Lord Hua Bai suggested continuing to休花休果, and only 催生 it once in the next two years, to give the plant some time to accumulate natural nutrients.

Ban Bu didn't expect the Cliff Arborvitae God-given seed to generate income for him, so it was good to slow down, but don't overdo it and 催生 it to death.

…

Due to the termination of the hybridization and breeding experiment last year.

This spring, there were very few bamboo species that needed to be cultivated. Only 5 seedling beds were opened up. Big Head commanded the ant colony, plus Red Rice, Du Zhu, Red Rice, Firethorn, and White Bamboo, five laborers, and they completed the work unhurriedly.

The pear, peach, chestnut, and other arbor seedlings sown on the southeast and northwest sides of Li Zhu Peak have mostly grown to more than 2 meters in height, and have a bit of the appearance of arbors, and have begun to bloom.

Initially, it can provide a small amount of nectar for Cattail.

It still requires the 5 high-level warriors from Crimson Armor County to carry the beehives and move to collect honey.

However, as these ordinary arbors grow and flourish year by year, the number of flowers increases year by year, and gradually, there will be no need to move to collect ordinary nectar.

In mid-February and early March, they went to Qinggang Mountain and Sheep Hoof Mountain to collect bee king honey.

The Chonglou and Yuzhu caravans arrived.

There was no change in the goods traded this year, and the income remained the same, totaling 100,000 Origin Stones, plus a thousand odd.

The odd amount was given to the Yellow Stripe Mountain Lord as remuneration.

After returning the 20,000 Origin Stones borrowed last year, there were still 80,000 whole Origin Stones left.

This amount of Origin Stones was not much at all, and Ban Bu did not dare to spend it indiscriminately.

First of all, 40,000 was set aside for the growth of the Fire Oil and Blood Thorns two God-given seeds.

Ban Bu only purchased 10,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food for himself and Big Bear. He also took out 10,000 Origin Stones to purchase a batch of high-quality Origin Power food for Rat King and Feng Ling. They were both a little old and needed to be promoted to Mountain Lord as soon as possible.

Especially Feng Ling, who was already quite old, and had only just reached the L8 High-Level Warrior stage. Now that he had plenty of money, he had to give it an accelerated growth package, otherwise, it was very likely that he would die of old age in the High-Level Warrior stage.

Finally, after a frugal year, no purchases were made for other members of the mountain.

There were still 20,000 Origin Stones left, which were hoarded and could not be moved. This year, various God-given seeds will bloom and bear fruit, and the quantity and quality will increase, and the Origin Stones that need to be invested will inevitably increase at that time. The specific number is difficult to estimate, so we must hoard more to be prepared for emergencies.

This year is the last poor year, and starting next year, income will increase by about 1 times.

After completing the transaction, Ban Bu took Chonglou and Yuzhu up the mountain to visit the Purple Gold, Emerald Bamboo, Rain Bamboo, Blood Thorns, and Fire Oil Camellia five God-given seeds. The changes were basically as expected, but there was still a lot of key information that could not be confirmed for the time being, so it was just a simple discussion, and the specifics would have to wait until next year.

…

The caravan left.

Early that morning, Big Head began to command the worker ants to use Origin Stones to replenish the Origin Power for the Blood Thorns God-given seed.

The spring light was just right, and the Blood Thorns God-given seed was growing steadily.

The main branch that climbed towards Li Zhu Peak gradually reached a length of nearly 100 meters.

The overall scale of the shrub almost doubled, and it was still growing steadily. It was preliminarily determined that the output of Blood Thorns seeds this year would be about 20,000.

…

The Fire Oil Camellia God-given seed was a thorn in the side, starving for four or five months, but refusing to use the 10,000 Origin Stones.

But Ban Bu couldn't be stumped.

Ban Bu told it that the 20,000 Origin Stones for the 催生 reward could be paid in advance.

The Fire Oil Camellia tree spirit gladly accepted, and then happily directed Camellia to cut the Origin Stones to replenish its Origin Power.

Until mid-April, 5,000 were used, and the tree height reached about 10 meters.

Mountain Lord Hua Bai brought the county princess of the Black and White Cockroach tribe to help 催生.

The taller the plant, the more Origin Power is needed for 催生 growth.

This time, the Fire Oil Camellia tree spirit could no longer save, and swallowed the remaining 15,000 Origin Stones reluctantly, and the tree body also soared to nearly 15 meters.

Red Fruit Oil Camellia is a small tree, and ordinary tea trees can only grow to about 3 meters in height. The Fire Oil Camellia God-given seed reached a height of 15 meters, and began to approach the limit. It will grow slower and slower year by year, and the number of fruits will increase year by year.

Ban Bu's plan was to give it a final 催生 next spring, estimating that the tree height could reach about 18 meters. Continuing to 催生 would not grow much, so it would not be of much significance.

There are a total of 20 催生 opportunities. Fire Oil Camellia used 4 times, and Ban Bu planned to use the remaining 16 times on the wild Cliff Arborvitae God-given seed.
