Astral Cockroach

Banbu invited Windbell several times, but Windbell refused to cooperate in planting bamboo, developing a bamboo forest, and cultivating new bamboo species. It believed that it was meaningless and useless work, wasting time and energy, and would rather be idle than participate.

Banbu changed his approach and switched to hiring.

Windbell finally couldn't resist the temptation of 100 Origin Stones and agreed to be Banbu's laborer for a year.

Windbell repeatedly asked Banbu how he used "capital" to get 100 Origin Stones from the caravan.

Banbu refused to say, telling it to wait and see.

… …

Like last year, Chonglou's caravan started shouting from a distance away from the mountain: "Banbu, the mountain master of Lizhu Peak, are you there?"

After all, as outsiders, it is impolite to intrude into the territory of other insects without permission, which can easily cause misunderstandings. This is a kind of etiquette.

Banbu stimulated his mental power and shouted: "I'm here! Mountain Master Chonglou, welcome!"

Chonglou replied: "Mountain Master Banbu, you are growing very fast. Your mental power is unbelievably strong!"

Banbu replied: "Mountain Master Chonglou, you flatter me!"

The caravan, as large as a hill, slowly climbed up the mountain.

While walking, they exchanged greetings and complimented each other, appearing like close old friends.

"Banbu! Banbu!"

Getting closer, Xuemai, who had already grown into an intermediate warrior, cheered.

"Xuemai, you have grown stronger."

Banbu had a good impression of Xuemai, who had given him a spider silk bag, and was much more enthusiastic.

The caravan finally reached the mountain.

There was another burst of enthusiastic mutual compliments and greetings.

Windbell stood aside, staring blankly: Didn't Banbu only have contact with the caravan once? How are they so close?

After the greetings, Chonglou couldn't help but ask.

"Banbu, I heard about you as soon as I entered the territory of the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe. I heard that you killed a Cloud Leopard warrior. They all say that you will become the most skilled Red Cockroach warrior!"

"I also heard that you are favored by the God of Nature and have obtained two God-given seeds?"

Banbu said: "That's right, two, but the quality of the wild Cliff Cypress God-given seed will definitely be inferior."

Chonglou asked: "Can we take a look?"

"Of course, please follow me!"

Banbu led the caravan to visit the Emerald Bamboo God-given seed and the Cliff Cypress God-given seed respectively, and finally stopped at the edge of the Purple Gold God-given seed territory.

Banbu took out a grass seed condensed last year and gave it to Chonglou for appraisal.

Chonglou only sensed it with his mental power and said directly: "Banbu, the quality of the grass seed condensed by the Xun Grass God-given seed is not ideal!"

Banbu said: "Yes, I was only a primary warrior at that time, and coupled with the lack of Origin Stones in the grass seed ripening season, the Origin Power supply was insufficient, so the quality was poor."

"By the way, Mountain Master Chonglou, I have officially named the Xun Grass God-given seed, naming it 'Purple Gold'. From now on, it will be called 'Purple Gold God-given Seed'. I believe that as I continue to grow, its quality will improve accordingly."

Chonglou said: "Banbu, you should be clear that the quality improvement of the Purple Gold God-given seed is ultimately limited due to the limitations of plant varieties."

"I understand." Banbu asked: "Mountain Master Chonglou, in terms of the quality of the samples tasted, what purchase price can you offer?"

Chonglou said: "For this quality, I can only trade at a price of 6 grass seeds for 1 Origin Stone."

Banbu said: "The quality of the grass seeds produced this year will be greatly improved. What price can you probably offer?"

Chonglou did not answer directly, but said unhurriedly: "I specifically consulted other mountain masters when I returned to the tribe this time, and found many similar examples, and have a better understanding of the Xun Grass God-given seed. Mountain Master Banbu, you should be very interested in learning about it, right?"

Banbu nodded his antennae and said, "Very interested."

Chonglou said: "Ant species in the north of the Myriad Kingdoms Continent cultivate similar herbaceous plants as their life-bound species, among which the two best varieties are called Oats and Rye. In the south, some ant species cultivate barnyard grass into rice, and the seeds produced by rice are called 'rice'. The most famous are red rice, black rice, and glutinous rice."

"Among them, there are many herbaceous God-given seeds that are very similar to your Xun Grass God-given seed."

Banbu nodded his antennae and said, "Very similar. It makes sense to say that they are of the same origin."

Chonglou said: "Your Xun Grass God-given seed has not been selected or bred, so its quality is inherently inferior."

A profiteer! He was clearly trying to belittle the quality of the Purple Gold God-given seed in every possible way, and then lower the price.

Banbu was upset and remained silent, waiting for further explanation.

Chonglou turned to his side: "Xuemai, take down the red rice and let Mountain Master Banbu taste it."

"Okay." Xuemai climbed onto Chonglou's carapace, and after searching for a while, took down a small and exquisite spider silk bag.

The spider silk bag was opened, and Xuemai used his chelicerae to twist out a grain of golden rice with husk and handed it to Banbu.

Chonglou said: "This is the red rice condensed by the God-given seed, which enhances the ability of flames and is in line with the talent of your Red Cockroach tribe, Banbu, try it."

The rice grains were very large, reaching about 5 in length.

Banbu peeled off the outer shell, revealing a crystal-clear, jade-like, bright red rice grain, and put it in his mouth to taste.

The Origin Power effect was more than one level worse than the fruit of the Red Hardwood Tree God-given seed, but it was one level higher than his own Purple Gold God-given seed's grass seeds.

Chonglou asked: "Mountain Master Banbu, how is it?"

Banbu replied indifferently: "Not bad."

Chonglou said: "We are buying this kind of rice at a price of 1 Origin Stone for 1 grain of rice."

"Mountain Master Banbu, the grass seeds condensed by your Purple Gold God-given seed are smaller than red rice and of lower quality than red rice. The price I gave you is very fair."

Banbu said: "I also gave the grass seeds of the Purple Gold God-given seed a name, 'Purple Gold Bamboo Rice'. Mountain Master Chonglou, what do you think?"

"In the future, Lizhu Peak will be famous throughout the continent for its bamboo and will be rich in various bamboo rice, and Purple Gold Bamboo Rice is just one of them."

Chonglou, who had been in business all his life, immediately understood Banbu's intention: to impersonate bamboo rice with Xun grass seeds, and first raise it to a higher level in terms of gimmick.

Chonglou did not reject this approach and said: "Mountain Master Banbu, this is a very good suggestion, I will seriously consider it. But this will not affect the purchase price."

Banbu shook his antennae and said: "No, you can sell 'Purple Gold Bamboo Rice' at a better price, and of course I should also enjoy half of the profits."

Chonglou considered for two seconds and said: "1 Origin Stone for 5 Purple Gold Bamboo Rice, a fair price."

Banbu reminded: "The quality of the Purple Gold Bamboo Rice produced next time will be greatly improved."

Chonglou shook his antennae and said: "The quality improvement is very limited, at most I can give you a price of 1 Origin Stone for 4 Purple Gold Bamboo Rice."

"Chonglou, there will be other caravans coming. You should give a fair price." Banbu simply said: "1 Origin Stone for 2 Purple Gold Bamboo Rice."

Chonglou hesitated for two seconds and said: "1 Origin Stone for 3 Purple Gold Bamboo Rice, Mountain Master Banbu, this is the highest price I can give, the profit is already less than 30%."

Banbu agreed without hesitation: "The Purple Gold Bamboo Rice harvested this year, regardless of the specific quality, will be sold at this price. After I advance to a high-level warrior, the quality will also improve, probably reaching medium quality, and then we will discuss the price again."

"No problem." Chonglou readily agreed and asked: "Mountain Master Banbu, did you just sow your Emerald Bamboo God-given seed this spring? Not simple! How many years will it take to flower and bear seeds once?"

"Mountain Master Chonglou, don't rush." Banbu smiled and said: "Let's continue to discuss the matter of Purple Gold Bamboo Rice."
