Astral Cockroach

The reservoir was finally completed.

The autumn harvest celebration banquet of Banbu's 31st year was exceptionally lively, with mid-level warriors who hadn't shown their faces for several years reappearing at the banquet.

The "stars" in the sky increased year by year, and the overall population of the Red Ant Tribe also experienced a relatively significant increase. The direct result was that there were an unusually large number of mid-level warriors attending the banquet this year, as many as 87. Most of them were born the year before last or the year before that.

Banbu estimated that the entire Red Ant Tribe could produce at least 100 young warriors each year.

"If I could get them all to Lizhu Peak, that would be awesome!" Banbu could only dream about such things.

Unfortunately, in the past two years, no young warriors have been born in the entire Jinping Mountain Range.

However, good news kept coming from Bluebell Peak. Fengling and Bluebell had been messing around together for nearly ten years and had actually cultivated a second Wind Chime God-given Seed.

Fengling was still thinking about cultivating a third one and had completely settled down on Bluebell Peak, only returning to take a look at his territory in the spring and autumn seasons each year before hurrying away.

Bluebell successfully advanced to Mountain Lord and no longer needed Banbu's assistance to be self-sufficient. This spring, a young warrior was also born in his territory, and he also liked wind chime flowers.

According to the agreement, Chijian County would send two young warriors, bringing the number of warriors on Bluebell Peak to six.

…

After the autumn harvest celebration banquet, Chijian Ant King arrived alone.

This time, he was very sensible, deliberately arriving a few days later so as not to disrupt the banquet.

Banbu led the way, directly descending to the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed at the foot of the mountain.

"Giant Dragon, this is a senior of the Red Ant Tribe, his name is Chijian Ant King."

"Oh, Chijian Ant King." The Giant Dragon Tree Spirit already recognized the Red Ant Tribe and was not surprised or repulsed. It said, "Banbu, is this the Ant King? I can feel that his aura is different."

"King-level warriors are basically the highest combat power on this planet." Banbu enjoyed teaching the Giant Dragon Tree Spirit. It learned everything he taught and understood everything he pointed out. It was a qualified student.

Banbu added, "However, he is only a first-stage Ant King, the weakest among King-level warriors, and he has no potential to grow anymore."

"Of course, the first stage is the weakest, the ninth-stage Ant King is the strongest." The Giant Dragon Tree Spirit understood the stage division and asked, "Banbu, why can't he continue to grow?"

Banbu said, "He doesn't have the resources to continue growing."

"Oh!" The Giant Dragon Tree Spirit suddenly understood and said, "The resources needed for the Ant King to grow must be a lot. His God-given Seed is not enough to support his continued growth."

"Smart!" Banbu couldn't help but praise.

The Giant Dragon Tree Spirit continued, "Banbu, I am the best God-given Seed. I can help you continue to grow after you advance to Ant King."

"Haha, that's right!" Banbu realized that the Giant Dragon Tree Spirit was even smarter and more sensible than the warriors on the mountain.

"This is the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed!" Chijian Ant King looked at the bamboo pole with a diameter of 1 meter, looked up, and was truly shocked by the lush branches and leaves that could not be seen at the top.

Now there are only 8 bamboo poles, but in the future, there will be 584 bamboo poles…

"Banbu, judging from the aura it exudes, the condensed bamboo fruit should have reached the standard of top-grade quality, right? When you advance to County Lord in the future, there should be an improvement. When you advance to Ant King, it will be fully grown and reach God-grade quality."

"That's right, the growth pattern is roughly like this." Banbu couldn't help but feel a little proud and said, "I use a large amount of God-given Seed remnants from outside the sky for it, so the quality will be slightly improved. Among the God-grade God-given Seeds, the quality will be slightly higher."

"Then it's even more valuable!" Chijian Ant King couldn't hide his envy and asked, "Banbu, do you plan to sell the bamboo fruit produced to the outside world? Or…"

Chijian Ant King came this time, on the one hand, to observe the God-grade God-given Seed up close and broaden his horizons, and mainly to inquire about the handling of the bamboo fruit produced by the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed.

Sell or not sell? It must be considered clearly as soon as possible.

Once it is publicly sold to the outside world, setting a precedent, the news will spread, and a large number of insects will definitely run to ask for it. In the future, every time it is produced, you will have to sell it.

Just like the Holy Bamboo bamboo fruit, after the news of the sale spread, warriors from various kingdoms visit Lizhu Peak every autumn and winter. It's not forced buying or selling, they all bring valuable gifts produced in their territories, enthusiastically trying to build relationships with you, and it's difficult to refuse every time. There are also those who are rejected at Lizhu Peak and run to the Iron Saber Mountain Range and Chijian County, trying to get in through the back door, which makes the Iron Saber Mountain Lord and Chijian Ant King very embarrassed.

The bamboo fruit condensed by the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed will definitely be more popular.

For this type of thing, the common practice on the continent is to block the news as much as possible and not sell it to the outside world. Large tribes with a slightly larger insect population will digest it internally.

However, not selling it to the outside world is something that only wealthy and resource-rich tribes would do.

The Red Ant Tribe is poor, and Lizhu Peak is barren. They are very short of money. Banbu wants to make money by selling the Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit, but he doesn't want to cause himself trouble.

The best of both worlds was already thought of before the Giant Dragon God-given Seed was born.

Banbu said confidently, "Chijian Ant King, don't worry, I will handle it properly."

Chijian Ant King asked, "Not selling it to the outside world?"

Banbu said, "Block the news as much as possible and don't sell it."

"The Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed is too eye-catching. The merchant ships pass by here every year and should have noticed it long ago. First of all, you should tell them not to talk nonsense everywhere." Chijian Ant King thought for a while and said:

"Lizhu Peak's development requires a lot of raw stones. You can privately contact a few nearby kingdoms and sell some slightly. As far as I know, the Wolf Scorpion and Saber Mantis kingdoms both have God-grade God-given Seeds. You can also exchange Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit with them to exchange what you have for what you need."

Banbu knew about the Saber Mantis Kingdom. Yunshen County has a Chinese Fir God-given Seed, which is also God-grade and strengthens the origin power patterns, with two effects: mainly increasing the amount of origin power stored in the origin power patterns; and secondarily strengthening elemental abilities.

For any origin power creature, each time it sleeps and evolves, the origin power patterns will change to varying degrees, and this change largely determines the success or failure of the evolution. Strengthening the origin power patterns also has the potential benefit of increasing the probability of successful evolution.

In fact, almost all types of God-grade God-given Seeds, including Giant Dragon Bamboo, have a certain secondary effect of increasing the probability of successful evolution.

When building the mountain reservoir, the Saber Mantis Tribe warriors demanded a very high price, but Banbu still actively sold them Holy Bamboo bamboo fruit. In fact, he was planning to build relationships and get in touch with the Chinese Fir Mantis King in order to find a way to obtain a batch of Chinese Fir pine seeds, either by buying or exchanging.

The Chinese Fir County, Chinese Fir Mantis King, and Chinese Fir God-given Seed of the Saber Mantis Tribe are very famous on the continent, so Banbu knows about them.

"Chijian Ant King, what kind of God-given Seed does the Wolf Scorpion Tribe have?" Banbu asked curiously.

Chijian Ant King said, "Ice Snow Mountain City, a wild Scots pine God-given Seed, has been alive for thousands of years. It is said to strengthen water elemental abilities. Eating a large amount can develop ice and snow abilities."

Chijian Ant King said, "Doesn't Hongdao awaken water elemental abilities? Hongdao, like you, is an insect with great wisdom and is worth cultivating. You can try to find a way to exchange a copy for him, which will be of great benefit to his future advancement to Ant King."

Hongdao led Hongmi in managing the rice fields and cultivating rice. The year before last, he also created a rice God-given Seed. This made Chijian Ant King look at him with new eyes. One could be said to be a fluke, favored by the natural true god, but two meant that he must have the ability of an insect.

Banbu moved his antennae and said, "I understand, I know how to handle it."

Chijian Ant King said, "You've seen the Longevity Mountain Range. In addition to the Longevity Peaches, there are still many good things, but most of them are a level lower. You can consider exchanging a few for many. In addition, the Horned Ant Tribe seems to also have a God-grade God-given Seed. Fire Peach Ant King must know. I will help you inquire about it later. If there is one, and you can use it, you can consider exchanging with them."

"Understood!" Banbu said gratefully, "Chijian Ant King, then I'll have to trouble you."

Before, when he didn't have the Holy Bamboo and Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given Seeds, Banbu only felt that there were many good things in this world. Now that he had them, and had the capital to trade, he realized that there were even more than he imagined.

However, these races are also thieves, only willing to spend raw stones to buy Holy Bamboo bamboo fruit, and never mention exchanging them for good things produced by their own tribes.
