Chapter 1101 - 719: Starry Cloud Cypress, Hammerfruit Vine (Part 2)
The Golden Tortoise Clan has a high talent in the field of geological ores.
This talent, ability, and knowledge are considered an indispensable part of cosmic starry sky development.
Dragon Cypress added a fourth group in the Plant Department, specializing in mineral exploration, mining, constructing mining stars, and managing mining stars work.
Ghost Fan, with a reserved personality, is indeed not very good at trading. During the Mountain Lord Level, he awakened the Metal Talent and is best at the Metal System, suitable for dealing with metal mines, so Ghost Fan transferred to the Plant Department’s fourth group.
Starry Cloud Cypress officially joined the Plant Department, becoming the second member of the fourth group, following Ghost Fan to mingle.
...
Greenstone and Starry Cloud Cypress were funded by the Fragrant Orchid Chamber of Commerce for their growth.
Set a rule, henceforth, all new soldiers wanting to join the Fragrant Orchid Chamber of Commerce will be funded by the chamber for training before the Third Trace Realm.
After the Third Trace Realm, wages will be paid annually.
From a long-term perspective, if the future moves to the Main Star System’s development, and the chamber’s scale expands with more members, changes will be needed to imitate the structure of those mature Level 7 Great Chambers of Commerce.
...
[Time: Era 78-Year 121-828]
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid evolved one age period every 60 years on average, lasting a total of 480 years, with Ink Orchid evolving first to the Nine Age Period of the Star Marks Realm.
It’s stuck.
Continue enriching the star marks.
According to Dragon Cypress’s requirements, at least 180 traces must be condensed and integrated into the Ultimate Morlan Star Marks before considering a breakthrough.
Every year, 100,000 resources are allocated to Ink Orchid continuously, revolving through the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce, exchanged into Primordial Crystals, and deposited into Ink Orchid’s private bug account.
Ink Orchid’s private bug account can now start accumulating Primordial Crystals, to be used in the future for purchasing Primordial Gemstones, or buying some interesting nice things.
...
Ninety years later.
Dragon Cypress also evolved to the Nine Age Period of the Star Marks Realm.
Also stuck, continue enriching the star marks.
Similarly, the annual 100,000 resources for Dragon Cypress must not be reduced, exchanged into Primordial Crystals, deposited into the private bug account.
The Bee King Honey trade cooperating with the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce still sees slow but steady income growth.
In addition, as everyone gradually consumes enough Divine-Grade Fruits, some are exchanged into Divine-Given Origin Force Food.
Assistant King, Tie Bush, Rainbow Mulberry, they each can receive over 10,000 annually.
...
There’s another problem,
Over the course of nearly two thousand years, King Cypress successfully condensed the fourth trace, breaking through to evolve to the Nine Traces Realm, but well-calculated time did not significantly affect the production of Wangbai Seeds.
Currently, 25 seeds have been produced.
All under Dragon Cypress’s command, including the earliest Insect Clan Warriors, have eaten them.
Later additions like Green Heart haven’t eaten them yet.
Currently, at the Insect King Level, Greenstone and Starry Cloud Cypress haven’t eaten them yet either.
The White Ivy Chamber of Commerce requires 6 seeds.
Still short by 9 seeds.
One seed every 75 years, needing 675 years.
Accustomed to the universe’s time scale, six to seven hundred years can pass in the blink of an eye.
Once everyone has eaten their fill, then what?
Truly let the flowers rest, the fruits rest?
Wouldn’t it be a bit wasteful?
Dragon Cypress suddenly felt somewhat unwilling.
After pondering, there is no safe way out.
The insects of Huagi Mountain know of King Cypress’s existence, and Ivy, Wisteria, these are all grown under the watch of Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, considered half junior.
However, they certainly cannot afford it.
Nor can it be given for free.
At the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce, Dragon Cypress sells to them at a friendship price of 50 million Primordial Crystals per seed.
If given for free to Huagi Mountain, how then can they charge White Ivy?
The reasonable solution Dragon Cypress can think of: first collect White Ivy’s money, and wait a few thousand years for them to forget, then sell a few seeds to Huagi Mountain at a discount and family price.
...
...
Time flies.
Suddenly one day,
Dragon Cypress’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense.
The Soul-Setting Ability unfolds, sweeping across.
Dragon Cypress’s first ordinary Life Seed, Dragon Cypress Tree, awakened soul consciousness!
The trees of Xianglan Mountain also discovered the situation, sending questioning and greeting psychic thoughts:
—Little sapling, are you also called Dragon Cypress?
—A bit weak, huh~
—Little one, how about following me in the future?
...
"Get lost, all of you!"
Dragon Cypress shouted angrily, quickly stepping forward, activating the Nightfall Ability to envelop the Dragon Cypress Life Seed, communicating with it.
In less than two months,
Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple successively reported that their Green-Red Kiwifruit Life Seeds were also beginning to awaken soul consciousness.
One after another,
Ordinary life seeds fortified with Primordial Crystals were the first to awaken soul consciousness.
A newly born soul is most susceptible to pollution.
All insects of Xianglan Mountain became busy.
With each awakening, immediately use the Nightfall Ability to isolate, promptly impart knowledge, introduce them to the universe starry sky, and instill a correct and upright worldview.
Each tending to their own, preventing being led astray by certain Divine-Given Seeds.
Moreover, there’s flowering and fruition,
Generally speaking, when averaged out, before ordinary life seeds awaken soul consciousness, a Third Trace Realm ordinary life seed’s annual yield is approximately 20 Primordial Crystals.
After awakening soul consciousness, the quality of Origin Force Fruits produced during the Third Trace Realm can improve by 50%, with the corresponding yield reaching 30 Primordial Crystals per year.
Furthermore, fortification with Primordial Crystals can enhance the quality and yield by about one-third, reaching up to 40 Primordial Crystals per year.
Quite considerable,
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid’s ordinary life seeds can bring nearly 2000 Primordial Crystals income per year.
...
Time is the most terrifying force in the universe.
The various specialized ants cultivated by Dragon Cypress during the Third Trace Realm gradually entered an aging phase.
Aging. Death.
Companions of over two thousand years, familiar ants leave one by one.
The emotions of the Pests and Trees of Xianglan Mountain were somewhat low.
Dragon Cypress took on an additional task of cultivating and replenishing new ants.
End of autumn,
One day.
The long-absent Ink Orchid returned, figure flashing, landing directly in front of Dragon Cypress.
The Shanglu Divine Pattern on her forehead flickered.
A super large metal case landed steadily on the ground.
"Dragon Cypress! Good news!"
