Astral Cockroach

By now, Banbu had a relatively detailed understanding of the change in Princess Chijian's attitude towards the Jinping Mountains.

After the accidental death of Mountain Lord Jinzhu and a group of warriors, Princess Chijian, pressured by the insufficient number of insects, chose to give up at the first moment.

Last year, when the Yabai Mountains were attacked, she reluctantly agreed to re-manage and gradually restore control over the Jinping Mountains under the pressure of the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe, but she shifted the pressure to Mountain Lord Tiedao.

This year's attitude is very interesting. The Yabai Mountains were attacked again, and the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe must have approached Princess Chijian. She was unwilling to make a big fuss, but she couldn't bear to abandon Banbu, who lived alone on Lizhu Peak, so today's events unfolded.

Mobilizing hundreds of subordinates to plant blood thorns and build defenses is not a wise move by any measure.

From this, Banbu deduced that Princess Chijian had an indecisive personality and was not a qualified "leader."

Mountain Lord Tiedao saw that Banbu had no enthusiasm for this matter and emphasized, "Banbu, when the blood thorns grow, your and Fengling's safety will be guaranteed."

Banbu said, "That's two years from now."

Mountain Lord Tiedao said, "There is only a one-year gap next year, and the red cockroach tribe warriors of Tiedaofeng will help you get through it safely."

Banbu politely said, "Thank you, Mountain Lord Tiedao."

Two years later? Two years later, Banbu would become a high-level warrior and would not be afraid of those beast attacks, okay?

However, Banbu thought again that although the blood thorn defense was troublesome, it was still useful, at least to prevent the territory from being suddenly attacked, providing an extra layer of security.

Banbu added, "Also, thank you for Princess Chijian's kindness."

"Princess Chijian heard that you have a well-developed God-given Seed and values you very much." Mountain Lord Tiedao said with satisfaction, "Banbu, you will do better than Mountain Lord Jinzhu. When you grow up, you will definitely be able to restore control over the Jinping Mountains."

Flame Cluster Banmao asked, "Banbu, have you been looking for God-given Seeds in the mountains recently?"

Banbu said, "Yes."

Flame Cluster Banmao asked, "Did you find any?"

Banbu shook his antennae and said regretfully, "No."

Black Mulberry shook his antennae, gently patted Banbu's carapace, and said excitedly, "Banbu, let's go, let's go find it together."

Flame Cluster Banmao shouted happily, "I'm going too."

"No!" Mountain Lord Tiedao immediately stopped him and said, "Flame Cluster Banmao, you are already a high-level warrior and should understand your responsibilities. You go down the mountain to cut trees. Banbu, Black Mulberry, you are both intermediate warriors now, and you can't be lazy either. You can do some simple weeding and planting work."

"Oh." Black Mulberry's mind was like an ignorant child. He was happily preparing to pull his companions to play together, but was suddenly stopped by an adult and asked to work. His excitement disappeared instantly, and he drooped his antennae, listlessly saying:

"Banbu, let's go down the mountain to weed."

Flame Cluster Banmao's attention shifted, and both antennae stood up in shock. He stretched out his forelimbs, pointed at the Gold Thread Bamboo, lowered his spiritual sense, and asked, "Banbu, what's going on? Am I misremembering? I remember that the bamboo bloomed during the drought season this year, right? Why hasn't it died yet?"

The Gold Thread Bamboo, planted next to ordinary fate seeds, has only grown a second bamboo pole so far, and its underground stems are not developing well, but it has indeed survived.

Mountain Lord Tiedao stared at the Gold Thread Bamboo and asked suspiciously, "Banbu, is this the new bamboo species that Fengling gave you? Did it bloom and bear seeds this year?"

Banbu truthfully replied, "That's right, it bloomed once in the summer, harvested three seeds, and survived."

Flame Cluster Banmao stuttered and asked, "Banbu, doesn't that mean that you have a brand new bamboo species... the kind that blooms and bears seeds every year?"

Banbu said, "It bloomed and bore seeds in the first year. If there are no accidents, this bamboo species will bloom and bear seeds every year."

There was a moment of silence.

Black Mulberry exclaimed, "Banbu, bamboo species that bloom and bear seeds every year are the most suitable as fate seeds. You can use the seeds to exchange for primal force food!"

"Idiot, all you know is eating!" Flame Cluster Banmao slapped Black Mulberry's head hard with his antennae and said, "Banbu, you can use the seeds to exchange with caravans, exchange for primal stones!"

"What's so good about primal stones?" Black Mulberry retorted, "You should exchange for primal force food."

"You two, be quiet!" Mountain Lord Tiedao said with some annoyance, "Flame Cluster Banmao, Black Mulberry, you are not allowed to talk nonsense about the new bamboo species, understand?"

Flame Cluster Banmao and Black Mulberry shook their antennae, indicating they didn't understand.

Flame Cluster Banmao asked, "Mountain Lord, why?"

Mountain Lord Tiedao said, "If it is planted, it will bear seeds in the first year, and it will bear seeds every year. Once the seeds spread, they will soon produce more seeds and lose their value."

Mountain Lord Tiedao asked Banbu, "Banbu, did you harvest three seeds this year?"

Banbu said, "Yes."

Mountain Lord Tiedao said, "Plant the seeds next year, cultivate them carefully, and propagate them as soon as possible. When the wandering merchants of the Phantom Color Flame Spider tribe come, talk to them and ask them to help sell them."

"The first batch of seeds sold is the most valuable, so the quantity must be sufficient, the more the better, sell them outside the Red Cockroach tribe, even the Fire Cockroach Kingdom, sell as much as possible."

"The value of the second batch of seeds will definitely not be as high as the first batch, and the value will be even lower for the third batch. The fourth batch will probably be worthless. Banbu, do you understand?"

Mountain Lord Tiedao was still the most reliable.

Banbu nodded his antennae and said, "I understand."

Mountain Lord Tiedao continued, "Banbu, you should give the new bamboo species a name."

Banbu said, "Gold Thread Bamboo."

"A very fitting name." Mountain Lord Tiedao said, "Banbu, the mountains are not very suitable for Gold Thread Bamboo to grow. Don't rush, try patiently, and first figure out its growth habits. Make sure it blooms and bears seeds once a year and will not die."

"After ensuring everything is foolproof, it is best to use it to nurture a fate seed yourself to understand whether the seed has other abilities. Banbu, do you understand what I mean?"

If a plant, like the Iron Blade Tree, the Red Firm Tree, or the Li Bamboo, has some kind of strengthening ability, its value will increase tenfold.

Mountain Lord Tiedao had basically considered all the key points that Banbu had thought of.

Banbu nodded his antennae and said, "Thank you, Mountain Lord Tiedao, for reminding me. I understand."

Mountain Lord Tiedao also nodded his antennae and continued, "The Gold Thread Bamboo was discovered in Fengling's territory. Fengling is about to move to Lizhu Peak to accompany you. Banbu, you should also let Fengling participate in this matter. In the future, when the seeds are sold, Fengling should receive a share of the income."

Banbu said, "That's how it should be."

Flame Cluster Banmao excitedly suggested, "Banbu, I can also participate in this matter. I can also help you plant bamboo."

Mountain Lord Tiedao scolded, "Flame Cluster Banmao, focus on planting the Iron Blade Tree I gave you! The most taboo thing in doing things is being fickle and changing your mind, and in the end, you will achieve nothing."

Mountain Lord Tiedao sternly warned again, "Flame Cluster Banmao, Black Mulberry, and Banbu, you are not allowed to leak any information about the Gold Thread Bamboo. If it spreads, it will inevitably attract trouble. In the face of huge benefits, the same race may not be completely reliable, understand?"

"Oh, I know."

"Understood."

"Understood."

Banbu, Flame Cluster Banmao, and Black Mulberry replied.

Banbu hesitated and said, "Mountain Lord Tiedao, there is one more thing I need to ask you about."

Mountain Lord Tiedao asked, "What is it?"

Banbu asked, "If a God-given Seed develops, can a mountain peak only accommodate it to survive alone? Or is it enough as long as it occupies enough land?"
