Astral Gods

Chapter 40 Plans and Arrangements

Just as Zishan and the others were attending class with Lord Zehui, Qingzhu Jiawang and Lord Zili quietly gathered on Ziling.

In the plains below Purple Ridge, the three little ones were within the territory of their Destiny Seeds. Lord Purple Plum stood beneath the Destiny Seed of Purple Locust and looked at Lord Green Fruit, saying, "Green Fruit, are you saying that Lord Zehui of the Mountain gave Purple Fir a top-tier plant seed a few days ago to nurture into a Destiny Seed?"

"It's like this, a seed that it named Green Soul Kiwi."

"Soul system?"

"Soul System!"

Lord Purple Plum looked at King Green Bamboo Armor: "King Green Bamboo Armor, have you heard of this plant?"

King Qingzhujia pondered, "I've heard before that the Flame Spider Merchant's claws contain Soul-type Force food. Since it can produce seeds, it must contain Soul-type Force food of various levels."

However, I estimate that this kind of Force food is expensive, and they will only eat it themselves or send it to large tribes with thousands or even tens of thousands of insects.

Our tribe didn't even have a king-level warrior before; we were too poor, which is why we had no news or trade in this area.

"Now that the Lord of Zehui Mountain is willing to send it over, it means that our tribe has initially caught their eye, and we will be able to trade with them for this kind of primal force food in the future."

"King Qingzhu is right." Lord Zili seemed very excited.

Life, strength, and soul—these are the three aspects that Zerg warriors most need to strengthen in their evolution.

Among them, life encompasses the broadest range of directions, including blood enhancement, internal organ enhancement, and shell enhancement.

If these aspects are not strengthened, the body and shell will expand and cause death during evolution.

Strength is equally important; after becoming a high-level warrior, only those with sufficient stamina can survive the long evolutionary period.

The soul is of paramount importance. The soul can generate spiritual power and willpower. Without the support of a strong soul and willpower, the evolutionary process is very likely to fail.

Not to mention that with the increase in soul power, Zerg warriors have an even greater chance of increasing their awakening abilities.

If we could buy Force food that strengthens the soul, everyone from junior and intermediate warriors to the Insect King could have some.

Lord Qingguo said, "Compared to ordinary soul-type primal force food, the yew tree is now nurturing this green soul kiwi seed, which will produce soul-type divine-given primal force food in the future. The price will be sky-high. This is a truly top-tier divine-given seed, or even a super divine-given seed."

"Qingguo is right. Most kiwis are used for blood enhancement, a branch of vitality enhancement. Even at the Mountain Lord level, because each seed is so small, it can only be sold for 0.05-0.06 raw stones."

"Even the divinely bestowed kiwifruit only sells for two raw stones per seed, which is thirty to forty times more expensive than ordinary kiwifruit seeds."

How many times more expensive can a regular Soul-type kiwi seed be compared to a regular kiwi seed? Ten times, twenty times? Selling it for 1 or 2 Origin Stones per seed shouldn't be a problem, right?

How many raw stones can those divinely bestowed soul-type kiwi seeds sell for? 20 raw stones each? 30 raw stones each?

The insects were overjoyed: "Doesn't that mean the value of a regular kiwi fruit has increased four or five hundred times?"

If the returns are truly that high, wouldn't one Life Seed be equivalent to the returns of five or six hundred ordinary Life Seeds?

Having seen much of the world, the Green Bamboo King calmly said, "This matter is not yet certain; don't be too happy too soon."

"Yes," the insects also calmed down.

Lord Qingguo said, "King Qingzhu, the Flame Spider Merchant's claws certainly have more than just one or two good things; there may be other even better top-grade tree species."

"Do you think we should ask for more varieties? That way, after the yew trees are nurtured, the offspring will all be the most supreme divinely bestowed seeds in the astral realm."

Lord Zili also said, "I have the same suspicion. It's impossible that if we ask for top-grade tree species, they will bring out their best treasures."

It's safe to assume they have even better top-tier tree species, and perhaps other types of soul-type trees as well. If we could acquire one or two more, we'd be truly rich.

"We shouldn't rush this. Let the yew trees advance through several more ages and reach the level of advanced warriors or mountain lords. Then we can subtly reveal some information to the Flame Spider Merchants and see if they are willing to invest in the yew trees."

"If they are willing to invest more in yews, they will definitely bring over all the top-quality tree species in their kingdom. At that time, we might also have the opportunity to become a large tribe with a population of over a thousand."

"Qingzhu Jia Wang Yingming".

"The Green Bamboo King is truly a genius," the insects exclaimed in unison.

Qingzhu Jia Wang said, "I heard from Qingguo that the Lord of Zehui Mountain also recommended an extraterrestrial artifact that can increase the amount of light a life-sustaining seed receives?"

Zizhu responded from the side: "That's right. The Lord of Zehui Mountain said that the extraterrestrial civilization's creation can increase the light exposure time for hundreds or thousands of life seeds at once, but the price is too high. He said it costs five or six million primordial stones."

"Five or six million raw stones, that is indeed a bit expensive, but if it can really increase the amount of light exposure for hundreds or thousands of plants, then the money spent on raw stones is worth it."

Most importantly, if we could increase the amount of sunlight the yew trees receive, we could recoup our investment in just a few decades!

Lord Zili said, "That's what I was thinking too, but five or six million raw stones is too much, and we in Ziling can't come up with that amount yet."

I'm thinking of borrowing a batch of raw stones from the tribe first, and then having all the Zerg warriors of Purple Ridge repay the loan later.

"This is definitely not something that can be accomplished in the short term. We can talk to the Zehui Mountain Master slowly, and then we can see how the equipment works. Once we have a good understanding, we can figure out how to pay for the raw stones in batches."

Zizhu hurriedly added, "I heard from Lord Zehui that using this kind of lighting equipment requires learning certain knowledge from it, and it is said that improper use can pose some risks to one's destiny."

"I see. The seed of destiny is a matter of life and death, and we cannot be careless in the slightest."

"In that case, all Zerg warriors below the Mountain Lord level should attend more classes from now on. Ideally, they should learn how to build that kind of equipment; if that's not possible, learning how to operate it will also be helpful."

"Oh, but we still have a lot to do in our territory!" Zizhu and Zitong responded somewhat reluctantly. Most of the high-level warriors had already started managing their territories, and they weren't really interested in attending the lecture.

Lord Zili scolded, "Don't be so reluctant. There's no harm in learning more. Isn't the greenhouse a method taught by Lord Zehui Mountain? It works very well."

There's not much to do in the territory. You can be like the little soldiers, attending classes in the morning and then going back to the territory to work in the afternoon.

"If you go to the class, you might learn other ways to increase Life Seed production. Even if you can't increase Life Seed production, there are always ways to make the plants in your territory grow better, right? Learning more is always a bonus."

"Okay." Hearing this, Zishan and Zitong perked up a bit.
