Astral Cockroach

The Purple Crystal Territory attack stirred up panic throughout the continent. The culprit was nowhere to be found, and many honest and law-abiding beast warriors who eked out a living in the desolate wilderness suffered unwarranted disasters. After nearly two years of turmoil, the situation gradually calmed down.

During this period, Camellia, Red Rice, and Firethorn successively advanced to the rank of Territory Lord-level warriors.

Year 84 of Banbu Calendar, early summer in April.

Rumbling thunder ripped through the night sky.

Banbu awoke from his slumber. With a thought, he sensed the three warriors guarding outside the cave in the pouring rain.

Big Bear was arranged by Banbu to guard him during his sleep.

Also present were Flame Cluster Banzhi, and Blood Peach Territory Lord, whom he hadn't seen in many years.

Big Bear's enormous head peeked into the cave, his eyes darting around before he happily exclaimed, "Banbu, you're awake!"

"Blood Peach Territory Lord is looking for you."

"I'm going down the mountain to hunt for you."

With that, he hurriedly left.

With a thought, Banbu opened a drawer, and energy drinks and compressed biscuits floated out. He quickly ate to recover some strength before emerging from the cave.

"Territory Lord Banbu!"

"Territory Lord Blood Peach! Flame Cluster Banzhi… Is something urgent?"

If it weren't urgent, they would definitely be resting in their nests in the trading square at the foot of the mountain, rather than waiting outside the cave in the rain.

"Banbu, you're finally awake." Blood Peach Territory Lord was also approaching the age of decline. Still as before, she shoved Flame Cluster Banzhi, who was about to speak, aside and said, "Queen Oil Peach Roach asked me to come and invite you to attend this year's Longevity Peach Feast held in Longevity Territory."

After Blood Peach Territory Lord finished speaking, she emphasized, "Please make sure to arrive at least half a month in advance. There are important matters to discuss."

Without the Longevity Peach, the Longevity Peach Feast was canceled and renamed the "Peach Feast," with the cycle also shortened to once every 3 years. Banbu had never been. Territory Lord Oil Pear went every time, and King Crimson Fortress Roach occasionally attended. According to them, only a few Spider King-level merchant groups who had been friendly with Longevity Territory in the past insisted on attending. Other merchant groups decreased year by year, and the feast became less lively and prosperous each year.

The main selling point of the Peach Feast was the peach fruit condensed from ordinary Longevity Peach life seeds.

Li Bamboo Peak had exchanged for many in the past and had long started to blossom and bear fruit. He could eat peaches from his own production. Moreover, there were also bamboo fruits condensed from ordinary Sacred Bamboo life seeds that also extended life. What was the need to attend?

"What important matter?" Banbu asked casually, starting to ponder how to decline.

White Bamboo and Little White Bamboo were still in Crimson Fortress Continent, waiting for him to transport supplies over.

Blood Peach Territory Lord said triumphantly, "Another Frost White Longevity Peach in Longevity Territory has completed its second transformation and growth. This year is the first batch of fruit ripening, so you are specially invited to come."

"Frost White Longevity Peach…" Banbu looked at Flame Cluster Banzhi.

Flame Cluster Banzhi said, "It's not a divine-grade. I just learned that it was born from a divine gift from beyond the heavens more than two hundred years ago. It also extends life and has a better effect than Sacred Bamboo bamboo fruit."

Blood Peach Territory Lord added, "The flowering and fruiting cycle is also three years, and it matures at the same time as your Li Bamboo Peak's Sacred Bamboo bamboo fruit. The quantity is fixed, not too much and not too little, 13 portions."

Banbu pondered slightly and said, "I'll make a trip in a few days."

…

Longevity Territory obtained the Longevity Peach original seed more than a thousand years ago. After operating for a thousand years, it should have cultivated many derived species. It's not surprising that they hid a Longevity Peach divine gift seed with life-extending effects.

200 years is not long enough. It should be after King Longevity Roach that they used the Longevity Peach remains to stimulate and strengthen it, completing the second transformation and evolution ahead of schedule.

It could also be speculated that Queen Oil Peach Roach originally did not intend to sell the Longevity Peach externally. In recent years, due to the pressure of the situation, she had no choice but to take it out.

Banbu's advancement to L6 Territory Lord this time was quite smooth. After waking up, his weakness wasn't strong. After resting for two days, he fully recovered and set off immediately.

First, he went to Crimson Fortress Territory.

Crimson Fortress Tree Sea, King Crimson Fortress Roach was inspecting a forest of half-finished Crimson Fortress saplings.

"King Crimson Fortress Roach, how are those 5 Crimson Fortress seeds?"

King Crimson Fortress Roach said, "They are all very good derived species. In another 10 years, they should be able to blossom and bear fruit. I hope we can have the luck of Azure Peak and directly obtain a divine gift seed."

The growth of the Crimson Fortress Tree is much slower than that of the Oak Tree. Generally, they are only a little over 4 meters tall and need to grow to seven or eight meters before they can start to spike and bloom.

Banbu scanned around. They were all mediocre. Judging from the growth of the seedlings, the possibility of triggering a divine gift was very small. Silently, he didn't say much.

King Crimson Fortress Roach knew Banbu's intention and asked, "Going to Longevity Territory?"

Banbu asked, "King Crimson Fortress Roach, why don't we go together?"

King Crimson Fortress Roach shook his antennae and said, "Life-extending origin power food is in short supply and does not affect Li Bamboo Peak's fortune. I know Queen Oil Peach Roach very well. She has been mean and stingy since she was a child. The only reason she is looking for you is to propose a union, to unify the prices of peach fruit and bamboo fruit, and to unify the distribution of sales shares."

King Crimson Fortress Roach and Queen Oil Peach Roach were about the same age. The two sides disliked each other. Unless there were important matters that had to be dealt with, they generally would not meet and avoided each other.

Banbu set off alone.

It took some twists and turns to enter the Peach Tree Sea.

At least they were half of the same race. In recent years, with the sale of Sacred Bamboo bamboo fruit, Li Bamboo Peak and Banbu's names were quite well-known. The flying Flame Roach warriors guarding the Tree Sea were not very wary and let him pass directly, without even arranging a guide.

Following the remembered route, he found King Flame Peach Roach's residence.

Before Banbu could greet him, King Flame Peach Roach's divine sense came from the depths of the peach forest.

"Oh? Banbu! You little fellow is already a sixth-instar Territory Lord? That's fast!"

"Greetings, King Flame Peach Roach!"

"Why are you here? Where's Crimson Fortress?"

King Flame Peach Roach failed to compete for the position of Lord of Longevity Territory, but at least he was also a Roach King. He shouldn't be in such a miserable state, right? It was a major event known to all insects, how could you not know?

"I… Queen Oil Peach Roach invited me to come and discuss matters."

Banbu's heart stirred. He secretly used his Heavenly Eye to observe and count the souls of the life seed plants. With a sweep, he instantly counted the number.

There were two more ordinary Longevity Peach life seed plants! Two consecutive molting evolutions? That would be an L6 Roach King? Not only was he not miserable, on the contrary, he was doing very well!

Banbu suddenly understood that the tokens were distributed by King Longevity Roach. The so-called fair election was probably full of moisture. It was just a formality to appease the masses. What King Longevity Roach liked more was actually King Flame Peach Roach. He had already arranged for King Flame Peach Roach to fade out of the sight of the insects, grow and evolve silently, and then leave silently.

As for Queen Oil Peach Roach…

"Are you looking for Oil Peach?" King Flame Peach Roach said, "Wait a moment."

"Yes!" Banbu replied.

Soon, a Territory Lord-level warrior hurried over, greeted him, and led Banbu along the peach forest path to Queen Oil Peach Roach's residence, which was also located at the foot of the Longevity Mountain Range.

The Heavenly Eye operated, scanning around and counting the number of life seeds, coming to the conclusion: Queen Oil Peach Roach was only an L1 Roach King and had never grown. She should have given up on growing.

"The Heavenly Eye of Crimson Crow Mountain?" Queen Oil Peach Roach said unhappily, "Are you measuring my strength, you fellow? It seems you know quite a bit?"

"Hehe, I know a little." Banbu smiled awkwardly to cover up and quickened his pace through the peach forest path.

"Greetings, Queen Oil Peach Roach."

While Banbu greeted, his eyes were already looking at the mountain range. There was a neat row of 6 especially tall trees, all of which were divine gift seeds, 3 Oil Tung trees, and 3 Peach trees. The peach tree fruit was about to enter the ripening season. One of the fruits was red as fire, definitely Queen Oil Peach Territory Lord's Fire Oil Peach divine gift seed. There was also a peach tree with a relatively small number of fruits, with a hint of icy transparent charm, which should be the Frost White Longevity Peach.

He never expected that Longevity Territory would also hide 5 wild divine gift seeds in another location in the mountain range!

One of the Fire Oil Tung divine gift seeds looked extraordinary. The tree's leaves were large and faintly carried a fiery red halo. The fruit was still very small, and the shell was fiery red.

A divine-grade?!

Banbu couldn't help but operate the Heavenly Eye again to observe. The tree spirit's soul was condensed like a physical body, powerful and strong. It was indeed a divine-grade Fire Oil Tung divine gift seed, and it had already completed three molting evolutions.

"Hmph!" Queen Oil Peach Roach snorted unhappily and scolded, "Just like that old fellow Oil Pear, you don't know etiquette."

"Queen Oil Peach Roach, that's a divine-grade Fire Oil Tung divine gift seed!" Banbu feigned shock and then smiled awkwardly, "I'm still seeing the legendary divine-grade divine gift seed for the first time. I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it…"

"Seeing it for the first time?" Queen Oil Peach Roach sneered, "Those so-called Fire Lotus Seeds and Nine-Leaf Red Lotus Seeds are all spread from your Li Bamboo Peak, right? They are basically the same thing. Don't think you can cover it up by changing a few names."

"The Double Tower and Jade Bamboo merchant groups helped you sell it? You are being clever. There are close and distant relationships between the major kingdoms. Important things are exchanged between forces with close relationships. Since you took it out to sell, it will definitely be exposed."

"If you were smarter, you would have the merchant groups sell it to a few fixed forces. They would get benefits and would only help keep the secret, not publicize it." Queen Oil Peach Roach paused and then ridiculed:

"What I'm afraid of is that the news will spread to the Northern Wilderness Beast Clan. Having two top-level origin power foods, Sacred Bamboo bamboo fruit and Fire Lotus Seeds, with weak strength, who else would they rob if not you?"

The words were harsh, but the information revealed was very important.

Banbu solemnly asked, "Queen Oil Peach Roach, how did the Northern Wilderness Beast Clan know that Purple Crystal Territory possessed a divine-grade Purple Crystal Grape divine gift seed?"

"Merchant groups." Queen Oil Peach Roach replied with certainty, warning, "Manage them strictly and don't let messy merchant groups get close to Li Bamboo Peak."
