Natural God's Gift

Previously, Mountain Lord Ziyun had created enough fertile soil. The nutrients in the soil were sufficient to support the growth of the lucky clover, and the planting location was also sunny, with ample light energy.

Even after it bloomed, Siyue didn't need to worry too much about anything else. It only needed to water the lucky clover regularly.

It's just that the flowering period of the divine-grade flower seemed a bit long. The flowers of other trees would fall off in ten days or half a month, but it had been growing for a month or two and still looked delicate, without any signs of withering.

Regarding this, Ginkgo Lord and the others simply said that the properties of each divine-grade fruit were different, as long as it was still growing safely. So Siyue let it be.

In addition to the lucky clover, Siyue also had to take care of the sea date palm tree, the Indian almond tree, and other four divine-bestowed seeds. Fortunately, the task of clearing weeds and the like wasn't required every day.

It was quite idle every day, and even had time to dig out a small pond with Angelica for cultivating the floating duckweed divine-bestowed seeds.

The dug-out pond wasn't large, only about a dozen square meters in size. By the way, this was dug according to the demand of the floating duckweed divine-bestowed seed that the Ziyun Merchant Guild brought back.

Last winter, the Ziyun Merchant Guild brought back the floating duckweed divine-bestowed seed that they had hidden on the road and returned it to Siyue.

So it dug two small ponds and planted them separately.

Fortunately, the floating duckweed divine-bestowed seeds weren't large, and unlike other divine-bestowed seeds, they didn't have a strong sense of territory. Even if the two small ponds were close together, it didn't matter.

Baizhi threw its floating duckweed divine-bestowed seed into a puddle next to its own life-bound seed. According to it, it might grow more vigorously in a natural environment. In reality, it was just lazy.

As for the two floating duckweed divine-bestowed seeds of Shaoyao and Tiexian, it was said that they were handed over to the original spider warriors who had a better relationship with them for cultivation.

According to the rules of the kingdom, the income generated by Tiexian's floating duckweed divine-bestowed seed should be divided equally with Longya and the original spider warriors who took care of the divine-bestowed seed.

Shaoyao's should be divided equally with Mudan and the others. However, floating duckweed probably couldn't produce any primal force food.

It was better than nothing.

Siyue lay under the lucky clover tree, smelling the faint fragrance of the divine-grade flower on the tree, unwilling to move.

As summer approached, Mountain Lord Huzhang was busy managing its own territory.

The time for giving them lessons was also greatly reduced, from the original lessons every morning to only one hour of lessons every day, and most of the lesson time was handed over to Mountain Lord Xuanyu.

After Xuanyu was promoted to Mountain Lord, it would take over Mountain Lord Huzhang's position and teach the little spiders, while Mountain Lord Huzhang would focus on cultivating the little flame spiders and managing its own territory.

"Cicada," Angelica flapped its wings, making a sharp cicada chirp as it swept across the woodland and flew towards the seaside.

Siyue lay in the shade of the canopy, occasionally moving its body slightly according to the angle of the sun, trying to avoid being exposed to the sun as much as possible.

It was thinking about what to eat for lunch, whether to eat a fish or a mouse? A rabbit? Recently, mice and rabbits had become a bit rampant on the nearby hillside, and its beloved clover lawn had been eaten quite a bit.

"Cicada," Angelica returned from the seaside and flew back to where its life-bound seed was. Siyue had allocated a piece of land next to it for it to plant its life-bound seed.

Siyue curled up its eight legs under its body, half-hidden in the soil in a very comfortable posture, sorted out its interrupted thoughts, and continued to think about dinner: "I ate a mouse yesterday, should I have a rabbit today?"

"Cicada," Angelica sang all the way, casting a huge shadow in the sky as it flew over the mound.

Siyue's thoughts were interrupted three times, and it couldn't bear it anymore: "Angelica, what are you flying around for?"

Angelica grabbed a huge banana leaf with its six legs, circled twice in the sky, and landed leisurely: "The temperature is too high in summer, and the shells in my shell pond are going to be sun-dried. I found some leaves to cover them."

"Uh," Siyue was speechless. Angelica hadn't given up on its plan to make primal force pearls. It had dug out all ten ponds that Siyue had allocated, and collected all kinds of shells with Baizhi and threw them into the ponds.

They had been tinkering for several months, and the shells died in patches, but there was no harvest. After being busy for so long, the only one who benefited was probably Baizhi, who ate all kinds of shells to its heart's content.

Siyue asked: "Are there any results?"

Angelica was too poor. It had no source of income and could only do odd jobs for other spiders in the kingdom to earn primal stones.

Siyue and Baizhi were able to weave silk bags and sell them to the kingdom's traveling merchants, earning dozens of primal stones a month. In the case of not lacking evolution resources, Siyue also invested a little primal stone for them, but it was relatively busy and basically didn't care about the affairs there, which were entirely the responsibility of Angelica and Baizhi.

Angelica: "There are no results yet, but I found that a certain kind of shell has a much smaller probability of dying after swallowing primal stone fragments than other shells. I plan to cultivate that kind of shell more."

"Is that so?" Siyue was dubious. After the primal stone was broken, the primal force would dissipate. If it was broken into small pieces, there might be a little primal force in it, but wouldn't ordinary creatures be burst by swallowing primal stones?

"I'll go and take a look with you," the original quiet and peaceful atmosphere was broken. Siyue didn't want to rest under the tree anymore and planned to go with Angelica to see how the shells were being raised.

Angelica cheered: "Okay, okay, and help me carry some banana leaves over there."

Cicadas can fly and are fast enough, but their strength is not good enough. They can't carry as much as flame spiders.

Siyue was speechless: "You planned it really well." ①

That being said, it still picked more than a dozen banana leaves for Angelica, carried them on its back, and walked towards the seaside. After all, it also had shares there.

Speaking of which, bananas are also herbaceous plants with a large yield and can be called top-level plant species.

However, it seems that no banana divine-bestowed seeds have been seen in the kingdom. Should it breed a banana as its life-bound seed when it reaches the seventh stage?

Siyue carried the banana leaves on its back and followed behind Angelica, thinking wildly as it walked. Before it knew it, it had arrived at the seaside.

Gourd Beach by the sea. Originally, there were only some weeds growing in the intertidal zone of Gourd Beach. However, after Mountain Lord Torch used earth and stone solidification to open up small dams to prevent sand and stone from flowing back, Mountain Lord Huzhang also scattered many mangrove saplings here.

After more than a year of growth, these mangroves have grown to be one or two meters tall. This intertidal zone has instantly become a lush mangrove forest.

Becoming a mangrove forest has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that when the tide rises, the sea water really can't bring much sand into this area. When a strong wind blows, these trees can also weaken the wind force in turn.

The disadvantage is that there are more kinds of small animals. Siyue asked Angelica to guard here and clean it once a day, but it couldn't be cleaned. From time to time, seabirds would fly over. After Angelica was promoted to the sixth stage, it basically had to fight with the flying seabirds every few days. Fortunately, it had primal energy in its body, and its lethality was not comparable to ordinary seabirds. If it really encountered a super-large seabird, it could hide under the dense spider web that Siyue had pulled on Gourd Beach if it couldn't beat it.

When Siyue came over, Baizhi was patrolling among the shell ponds, mainly to see if any shells had died. If they had died, it could find them in time and eat them.

At the end of last year, when Mountain Lord Torch continued to work here, they begged Mountain Lord Torch to open up some ten-centimeter stone holes at the bottom of the stone dam to connect these dam ponds. Now the ten ponds have been connected into one.

Angelica and Baizhi pulled up spider silk above the pond and then covered the pond with various leaves to prevent the sun from directly shining on the shells and drying them to death.

"Baizhi, what are you doing?" As soon as Siyue came over, it saw Baizhi walking in the middle of the pond, occasionally picking up a shell, cracking it open, and eating it with relish.

Caught red-handed by Si Ye, Bai Zhi wasn't embarrassed in the slightest: "Si Ye, you're here too? This clam seems to have heatstroke; I was just about to eat it."

Si Ye's eyes were unfriendly: "Clams can get heatstroke?"

Dang Gui really had bad luck finding such an unreliable partner.

Bai Zhi's expression didn't change, and her heart didn't skip a beat: "Occasionally, occasionally."

Dang Gui flew over and looked at the pools. Among the ten pools, three were filled with clams being cultivated with raw stone fragments, and the remaining seven contained ordinary clams.

Fortunately, Bai Zhi wasn't completely unreliable. It was eating the ordinary clams, which could be found in abundance by the sea.

As for why they didn't put the raw stone fragments in all ten pools to cultivate primal force pearls, the reason was simple: they were poor!

The ten pools were already mostly covered by leaves. Summer was too hot, and the leaves would quickly dry out under the scorching sun, so they had to be replaced frequently.

Si Ye warned: "Bai Zhi, don't eat the clams from the top three pools."

Bai Zhi: "Don't worry, I won't eat the ones from above; the ones below taste better."

Si Ye:

This guy was very gluttonous, but fortunately, it could still distinguish the importance of things.

Si Ye walked along the stone dam. The shellfish in their pools were separated and cultivated according to the month they were gathered.

The first stone pool was dug out last winter. At the beginning, many shellfish were placed inside, but after half a year, many died, and there weren't many clams left now.

Si Ye looked at it, then turned to ask Dang Gui: "Dang Gui, the clams in pool number one have been cultivated for four or five months, right?"

Dang Gui responded: "It's been more than four months."

Si Ye: "Then should we pry open a clam to see if there's any change in the raw stone fragments inside?"

It's been so long; they should see if there's any reaction. Otherwise, everyone's hard work over the years would be in vain, which would be a pity.

Dang Gui pondered. It hadn't done this before either and was doing it blindly: "Then let's open one?"

Bai Zhi shouted: "Open a big one!"

The clam would definitely die after being opened, so it would have something to eat. Dang Gui had said before that there would be enough clams for it to eat, which was why it had invested and helped for so long.

Dang Gui lifted the leaves covering the pool and picked and chose among the few remaining clams, finally selecting a disc-shaped clam about twenty centimeters in size. In its mind, the larger the clam, the greater the probability of a pearl being born inside.

"I'll open it!" Bai Zhi had already evolved to the eighth stage, and it actively took on this arduous task.

It took the small shovel used for planting and wedged it into the middle of the disc's shell, trying to pry it open with force. But the shell was too hard, and it couldn't pry it open even after trying for a long time.

"Too hard," Bai Zhi reluctantly withdrew the shovel amidst the dumbfounded gazes of Si Ye and Dang Gui.

This idiot—

Dang Gui grabbed the disc, flew dozens of meters into the air, found a large rock, and aimed directly at it before dropping it.

"Bang," the disc hit the rock, making a crisp sound.

Dang Gui flew down to check. This disc was indeed very hard; it only cracked a little from such a height.

It grabbed it, flew into the sky, and dropped it again. After dropping it several times in a row, it finally smashed the surface shell of the disc into pieces.

Si Ye and Bai Zhi quickly went up to check and search.

The two spiders used their claws to stir the meat inside the disc, looking for any pearls that might appear.

"Found it." Bai Zhi plucked a pearl from the clam meat. Si Ye and Dang Gui quickly gathered around to check.

The pearl in Bai Zhi's claw was only five millimeters in size and was light white, but there was no primal force fluctuation on it at all.

Dang Gui revealed a disappointed expression: "That's it?"

Two Division FJ

"Let's look again; there might be more."

The three insects huddled together and rummaged for a while, finally finding five pearls and the raw stone fragments that Dang Gui had stuffed into the disc.

Si Ye carefully examined the raw stone fragments. The raw stone fragments that Dang Gui had stuffed into the disc before were only two or three millimeters in size, almost the same as ordinary gravel.

Now, a thin layer of pearl had appeared on the surface of the raw stone fragments, forming an irregular pearl. The overall size was only four or five millimeters, but the entire pearl emitted a faint golden primal force fluctuation. ②

"It worked!" The three insects were overjoyed. They didn't expect Dang Gui's random tinkering to actually produce such a peculiar pearl.

"But why is it a golden primal force fluctuation? Is it different for different clams?" The three insects were puzzled.

Could it be that the pearls nurtured by clams also produce different attributes?

The three little insects didn't understand the reason, but they felt that this situation was simply beyond expectations.

In the Primal Force Star Realm, there weren't no attribute-based raw stones, such as jadeite, which contained wood-based primal energy.

For wood-based lifeforms, the pure wood-based primal energy emitted by broken jadeite of the same size as raw stone was far better than ordinary raw stone.

The value of a piece of jadeite was equivalent to five pieces of ordinary raw stone. Of course, if it were used on trees with other attributes, the effect would be far inferior to raw stone. The reason why raw stone was circulated was because of its versatility.

Similarly, there were water-based sapphires, fire-based red agates, gold-based obsidian, earth-based yellow jade, and so on.

Si Ye: "Take it for an experiment?"

Dang Gui: "How do we experiment?"

Si Ye: "Find a gold-based God-given Seed and let it try the feeling after using it?"

Dang Gui hesitated: "Who has a gold-based God-given Life Seed? Don't wild ones only develop a soul consciousness after reaching the King level?

And it's not certain whether this is a special case."

"Uh," it seemed that no one currently possessed a gold-based God-given Life Seed; some had already been sown into wild God-given seeds.

As for King-level wild God-given Seeds, they were highly respected existences in the kingdom, and Si Ye didn't dare to disturb them with such a small matter.

Dang Gui suggested: "Why don't we continue cultivating some and wait for the caravan of the Purple Flame Spider tribe to return at the end of the year? Then we can open some more to see if they consistently produce gold-based pearls and then let them try it?"

"That works." Hearing this suggestion, Si Ye greatly agreed. It even actively came up with ideas: "It seems that larger clams are more likely to nurture pearls. We should find more large clams in the future."

The two insects discussed enthusiastically: "I think a clam produces more than one pearl.

We can stuff more raw stone fragments inside in the future."

Dang Gui said excitedly: "It would be great if we could really produce many, many primal force pearls."

"It's just a bit slow. It might take two or three years for a pearl to form and grow to the size of a raw stone."

"That's still very good."

Although a clam only produces such a primal force pearl every half a year, and it may take two or three years to be recognized, compared to planting trees on a large scale and wandering in the forest for hundreds of years, desperately hoping to obtain a God-given Seed, this return is much faster. Of course, the value is definitely not comparable to a God-given Seed.

The main thing is that they can also breed clams on a large scale. If they breed a thousand clams and endure for two or three years, they will have a thousand primal force pearls.

If they breed two thousand clams, they will get two thousand primal force pearls. This income is already rich enough for their small battle squad.

Si Ye was not overwhelmed by joy. It calmly said: "We've been raising them for so long, and so many clams have died. There's no guarantee that one out of thirty clams will survive.

We still have to find a way to reduce the mortality rate of clams, otherwise, they might all die suddenly after a year and a half."

Dang Gui was also awakened by Si Ye's words: "Then what should we do now?"

Si Ye: "We can cultivate some ordinary clams first."

It raised its claw and knocked on Bai Zhi's head, who was secretly eating clam meat: "You can't eat the cultivated clams randomly in the future."
