Helping the Ziyun Caravan transport raw stones was just a small matter; they did it on the way, and after transporting the raw stones back to the kingdom, they continued to transport fertilizer.

In such busyness, time passed in the blink of an eye.

In these years, Siyue's ships traveled back and forth in the north and south seas. The tribes and insect warriors who began to build on the seashore were quite curious, vigilant, and pointed.

Gradually, they got used to it, became numb, and were no longer surprised when they saw it.

With the opening of the waterway, Siyue's burden was no longer fertilizer, but raw stones.

According to the progress of one ship of fertilizer per month, in a year, they didn't work for one month in early spring, and in August and September, typhoons appeared too frequently, so they simply rested. There was also the autumn harvest in November and the New Year in December.

They only worked for seven months a year, pulling seven ships of fertilizer, but even so, it cost 440,000 raw stones on fertilizer every year.

In addition, there were the Flame Spider warriors working in Dragon Bamboo Plain, Twin Peaks, and Shellfish Farm. They also needed several raw stones' worth of wages every year.

Even though Siyue had continuously advanced to the sixth-ring mountain master in the past few years, possessing 22 God-given Seeds that produced God-given Force Food, with an annual income of nearly one million, it still felt a great burden.

Fortunately, the kingdom also purchased 30,000 squares of bird droppings from Siyue every year at a price of 4 raw stones per square to fertilize the God-given Seeds.

Other spiders and private insects in the kingdom would also purchase some fertilizer from it to fertilize their life seeds and ordinary plants, totaling about 20,000 squares each year, which reduced a lot of pressure on Siyue. At least everyone's wages were enough to be paid.

In fact, the kingdom's demand for fertilizer was still very large. There were nearly 200 various wild God-given Seeds and God-given Life Seeds in the kingdom. They needed marsh water, animal bones, and manure to supplement their nutrition every year.

Not to mention the distant ones, just take the Sea Soul Fir God-given Seed and the Amethyst Grape God-given Seed. Their huge tree bodies and high levels still had to bear so many fruits every year. Where did the nutrition come from? Was it born out of thin air?

There was nutrition born out of thin air, but that was light energy and force. The nutrition of the land was also essential.

And the nutrition in the land was limited. If it was not replenished, the fertility would gradually be absorbed.

It was like some fields. If crops were planted in the first year, the yield would be greatly reduced if they were not deeply cultivated in the second year. These God-given Seeds also needed to replenish fertility, and even their demand was greater and more than ordinary plants.

As time went by, the amount of fertile soil produced by the Ziyun Caravan was gradually not enough for these trees to use, and the price of fertile soil was still expensive.

At this time, the fertilizer pulled back by Siyue was cheap and plentiful, and naturally became the kingdom's first choice to supplement nutrition for the God-given Seeds.

The kingdom's price for Siyue's fertilizer was 4 raw stones per square, which was a bit lower than before, mainly because the quantity was large.

They used a large amount of fertilizer mixed with a small amount of fertile soil to supplement nutrition for the God-given Seeds, which was both affordable and effective.

At the same time, in addition to the kingdom, the original Flame Spider warriors who owned territories in the kingdom would also purchase fertilizer from Siyue.

On the one hand, for the same reason as the kingdom, they needed to purchase a certain amount of fertilizer to add nutrition to the life seeds.

On the other hand, the Flame Spider warriors managed territories, cultivated top-quality plant seeds, and selected good seeds for planting, with the purpose of trying to obtain God-given Seeds.

And high-quality plants meant a high demand for nutrition.

With enough nutrition, the plants could grow tall and strong enough.

Why do wild plants degenerate so quickly? Grow in the direction of short trees, small fruits, and many seeds?

Isn't it because there are too many trees in the wild, the competition is too great, and the nutrition is insufficient? They can only degenerate to the native species state to survive.

Siyue stood on the Tianya Reef Shellfish Farm, silently calculating its income and expenditure. Its current life seed's average annual output reached 960,000 raw stones, with the bulk still being the output of the Sea Date Tree God-given Seed and the Mangrove Tree God-given Seed.

In fact, its God-given Life Seeds seemed to be many, but most of them were herbaceous God-given Seeds and vine God-given Seeds, and the annual output was not much.

Like Morning Glory God-given Seed, Lobelia God-given Seed, and Wild Pea God-given Seed, even if they grew desperately, how much output could they have?

And the Sea Date Tree God-given Seed and the Mangrove Tree God-given Seed only ripened once every two years, and the output was averaged again.

Of these 960,000 raw stones, 440,000 raw stones had to be paid to the Coast Water Lice Tribe, and more than 200,000 raw stones had to be paid for a year's wages. The combat squad of six spiders alone required 108,000 raw stones for a year's wages.

Bai Zhi also needed 20,000, and Artemisia annua needed 30,000 raw stones for annual wages, as well as so many Flame Spider warriors. In addition, it itself had to eat God-given Force Food to evolve, and Angelica also had to evolve in terms of age.

It could even be said that it didn't matter if it evolved slowly, Angelica's evolution speed must be fast, and it was best to advance to the lord level as soon as possible, and then use its ability to make the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed grow faster.

Otherwise, what was the point of investing so much? Wasn't it just to eat the Divine-grade Dragon Bamboo Fruit as soon as possible!

Fortunately, the kingdom could subsidize around 200,000 raw stones to offset most of the Flame Spider warriors' wages, otherwise it would really be a bit difficult to raise so many spiders.

Even so, it didn't have much raw stones left over each year, and it could even be said that it was a bit insolvent.

Therefore, after transporting the Ziyun Caravan's raw stones back to the kingdom, Siyue specially trained Fudi and Fenghua to command the ships on the ship. After cultivating them, it could free up its claws to find ways to increase income.

Now it was very difficult to increase income. The output of the life seed could be said to have reached the best. It didn't have time to trade with other tribes, and as for searching for Force Gems, it was even more impossible.

It had no choice but to set its sights on Force Pearls.

After so many years of cultivation, the shellfish in this farm had grown very large, and many of them had been stuffed with gem fragments by the Flame Spider warriors. After so long, the Force Pearls that should have formed were almost formed.

Angelica flew around near the breeding area and flew to Siyue and said, "Siyue, are we going to harvest Force Pearls now?"

Siyue said, "Let's harvest the earliest batch first and see how much output there is."

They released a batch of shellfish seedlings into the water in March every year, and then added pearl cores to the shellfish seedlings in May.

Counting it, the first batch of large-scale produced shellfish seedlings had been around for so many years, and now it was time to see how the harvest was.

"Okay," hearing Siyue speak, Angelica immediately directed the Flame Spider warriors to untie the spider silk ropes hanging in the sea, full of shellfish, and drag them ashore one by one.

After being dragged ashore, other Flame Spider warriors immediately stepped forward to pick off the shells growing on the spider silk ropes, and then transport them to the back.

There were also Flame Spider warriors in the back taking tools to pry open the shells and search for Force Pearls, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Siyue patrolled back and forth between the Flame Spider warriors prying open the shells. It found that the probability of shells producing Force Pearls was not high, only about one Force Pearl in ten shells.

It picked up the Force Pearl and checked it. A pearl was about the same size as a raw stone, but it was lighter than a raw stone, and it emitted a faint wood-type Force wave.

As expected, a Force Pearl about the same size as a raw stone could probably be worth 5 raw stones.

Just as Siyue was watching the Flame Spider warriors work, the Ginkgo Spider King actually rarely walked out of its territory and came to Tianya Reef.

Seeing the Ginkgo Spider King arrive, Siyue immediately greeted it: "Ginkgo Spider King, why do you have time to come over?"

The Ginkgo Spider King said: "I heard that you are going to harvest Force Pearls here, so I came over to take a look.

If this can produce Force Pearls on a regular basis, it may become an income item for the kingdom in the future. What is the quality of this pearl?"

"Not bad," Four-Leaf said, handing the Origin Pearl in its claw to the Ginkgo Spider King for inspection.

The Ginkgo Spider King took a look and indeed felt that this Origin Pearl was quite good.

"This Origin Pearl only possesses pure single-attribute Origin Power, not as versatile as Origin Stones, nor as refined as Origin Gem Essence, but its advantage lies in being mass-producible."

Four-Leaf said, "Currently, the pearls cultivated in the farm are mainly based on Wood, Water, and Earth attributes, because these three attributes are more expensive."

The Ginkgo Spider King asked, "According to your estimate, how many Origin Pearls can be produced in this batch?"

Four-Leaf said, "I'm not sure, but there should be about ten thousand!"

Ginkgo Spider King: "This quantity is a bit small."

From investment to output, Four-Leaf had spent no less than fifty thousand Origin Stones over the years.

Ten thousand Origin Pearls, even if each one is worth five Origin Stones, would barely break even.

Fortunately, there will be subsequent annual output, but it feels like the yield is not very high. Fifty thousand Origin Stones is not as much as the output of a sapling God-Given Seed.

However, this is also due to the small number of Flame Spider young warriors. If there were a few hundred Flame Spider young warriors, the scale of Origin Pearl production would definitely be expanded.

Actually, the Ginkgo Spider King's visit this time was just incidentally to see the Origin Pearls; it had other matters to discuss with Four-Leaf.

As they walked and talked, they moved to the side, and the Ginkgo Spider King also mentioned the main purpose of its visit: "Four-Leaf,

I actually have other matters to discuss with you this time."

"What is it?" Four-Leaf guessed that the Ginkgo Spider King wouldn't come all the way to the seaside to find it for no reason.

The Ginkgo Spider King said, "Do you still remember the fourth batch of God-Tier Wish Fruits?"

Four-Leaf was surprised and said, "Wasn't that God-Tier Wish Fruit taken for experiments? Is there a problem?

"

"There is a bit of a problem." The Ginkgo Spider King took out a Yellow Peach God-Given Seed from its carapace's silk pouch and handed it to Four-Leaf for inspection.

It said with mixed feelings, "Last year, the kingdom found a Yellow Peach God-Given Seed that was flowering. I followed your method and buried the God-Tier Wish Fruit under the Yellow Peach tree. As a result, the God-Given Seed it produced is somewhat special."

"Special?" Four-Leaf took the Yellow Peach God-Given Seed and examined it carefully. The flesh of this Yellow Peach God-Given Seed had already been peeled off, leaving only the pit.

The function of the Yellow Peach is life-attribute internal organ purification, which is a high-quality sapling God-Given Seed. If the yield wasn't low, it might have been defined as a top-tier God-Given Seed.

However, the Yellow Peach God-Given Seed in its claw is no longer purely for life purification.

Under Four-Leaf's sensing, this Yellow Peach God-Given Seed actually possessed multiple attribute Origin Powers such as Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Life, and Strength, and even some Origin Power fluctuations that Four-Leaf couldn't discern.

"Ginkgo Spider King, what is this?" Four-Leaf was truly surprised. What is this thing?

It didn't quite understand. Can a God-Given Seed have so many attribute Origin Power forces?

The Ginkgo Spider King said with a somewhat complicated expression: "You've also seen that this God-Given Seed possesses multiple attribute Origin Powers,

and these Origin Powers are mixed together and cannot be separated at all."

Four-Leaf asked, "What does the Sea Soul Fir God-Given Seed say?"

"The Sea Soul Fir God-Given Seed says that this may be the legendary Chaos-attribute God-Given Seed."

Four-Leaf was bewildered. It hadn't heard of this term, but it sounded very impressive?

"And then what?"

Ginkgo Spider King: "Chaos means disorder. The talents, abilities, and Origin Powers of our insect warriors are all in a single sequence.

This means that our insect warriors cannot eat this kind of God-Given Origin Power food, as eating it will disrupt the Origin Power sequence in our bodies."

"For example, the Divine Power Barrier in the Isolation Continent is filled with Chaos Origin Power."

"Then what do you and the Sea Soul Fir God-Given Seed mean now?"

"The Sea Soul Fir God-Given Seed says that other insect warriors cannot consume the God-Given Origin Power food produced by this God-Given Seed. If I had to say, perhaps only you in the entire Star Realm can eat this God-Given Origin Power food.

Because you possess seven elemental talents and also have the potential for Life, Strength, and Soul attributes, you are the insect warrior closest to the Chaos attribute."

"Uh…" So unwanted things are all given to it?

Four-Leaf asked, "What about the flesh of the Yellow Peach God-Given Seed?"

"It's here," the Ginkgo Spider King took out a ceramic jar from its carapace, filled with Yellow Peach flesh soaked in God-Given Honey.

Seeing that some of the flesh was missing, Four-Leaf asked, "Ginkgo Spider King, have you eaten some?

"

"I tasted a small piece." Tasting the outer flesh after maturity is one of the methods to determine the function of a God-Given Seed for God-Given Seeds with flesh.

Four-Leaf asked, "How did it feel?"

The Ginkgo Spider King said, "It didn't feel good. The Origin Power in the flesh was too chaotic. Even though I have four attribute talents, I still had to spend some effort to completely remove the foreign attribute Origin Power.

Qingfeng also ate a piece and spent even more effort to completely remove the foreign attribute Origin Power from the flesh."

"I see!" Four-Leaf pondered. It was mentioned earlier that insect warriors with a single talent can only eat Origin Power food of the same talent attribute as themselves.

This is because after foreign attribute abilities enter their body, they not only fail to enhance their own strength,

but also disrupt the Origin Power sequence in their body.

Therefore, after eating Origin Power food with foreign attribute Origin Power, they must completely remove the foreign attribute Origin Power to avoid affecting their body?

Otherwise, if too much foreign attribute Origin Power accumulates in the body, it will greatly increase the risk of failing the age evolution.

"Then I'll also taste a small piece."

Four-Leaf picked up a small piece of Yellow Peach flesh and tasted it.

The sweet flesh melted in its mouth, and at the same time, a special Origin Power force also erupted from its mouth.

This Origin Power force felt as if all the elemental Origin Power series God-Given Origin Power food in the Star Realm had been put into a pot and stirred into a paste.

How could one extract the Origin Power properties they wanted from a paste?

No wonder the Ginkgo Spider King had a headache after obtaining this God-Given Seed.

However, Four-Leaf was different from them. It possessed seven elemental talents and three biological ecological potentials, which in itself encompassed most of the Origin Power forces of the Star Realm.

As for those Spirit, Light, Poison, and Psionic attributes, they were just subordinate branches of the ten major systems and were not important.

And since Four-Leaf possessed all Origin Power properties and potential, after eating this, its body would automatically differentiate it, because it already had these talents, so naturally there would be no Origin Power rejection.

After eating a piece of the flesh, Four-Leaf commented: "The Origin Power properties in the flesh are indeed very chaotic, but it's not a big problem for me. I can digest it after some time."

"That's good." Hearing Four-Leaf say this, the Ginkgo Spider King also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ginkgo Spider King said, "I'm afraid that you are the only one in the entire Star Realm who can eat this kind of God-Given Origin Power food,

so this God-Given Seed is given to you."

Four-Leaf wasn't particularly happy, but asked, "What's the price?"

The Ginkgo Spider King thought for a moment: "The Yellow Peach God-Given Seed is also a sapling God-Given Seed, and the price is not cheap, but because of its special nature, it's discounted to 400 million Origin Stones for you."

Four-Leaf: ".... —"

It had finally managed to pay off the kingdom's debt with a Walnut God-Given Seed, leaving only 300 million Origin Stones, and now it had to owe another 400 million Origin Stones.

Fortunately, it wasn't afraid of having too many debts.

Thinking of this, Four-Leaf hurriedly asked, "Ginkgo Spider King, this one doesn't require interest, right?"

Ginkgo Spider King: "This is considered a forced gift from the kingdom to you, no interest required."

"That's good."

The Ginkgo Spider King said, "There's one more thing!"
