Astral Cockroach

With the basic infrastructure for the bamboo forest completed, the next step is to boldly develop and expand it.

The primary task is to transplant the Ma bamboo and Water bamboo originally planted on the southern side of Lízhu Peak, replacing them with Dragon bamboo and Sacred Sound bamboo.

The most important bamboo species must be planted closest to Lízhu Peak for easy guarding and to prevent theft.

Banbu plans to plant a large, lush bamboo forest of Giant Dragon Number Zero life seeds around the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given seed so that the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given seed won't appear so out of place.

After working continuously for five years, it's time to rest.

Banbu simply stopped working.

The other members of the mountain peak can go out early and return late, without working overtime. Work for three days, rest for two, eat and drink well, and appropriately accelerate the growth rate.

A quiet and peaceful winter.

The only drawback is that this winter has been particularly rainy, with rare warm and sunny days.

Banbu doesn't like the rain and listlessly shrinks inside the cave.

Baba is also in Banbu's cave. On the contrary, it's in a good mood, chattering endlessly. In short, it's saying: 'Let the rain get heavier! Banbu, let's release all the water stored in the reservoir! Banbu, I've designed some water diversion channels that can divert rainwater from near the reservoir into the reservoir during heavy rain, which will generate more electricity. Don't let King Rat and the others be idle, tell them to dig!'

Filling a reservoir with water and then draining it all to convert it into electricity allows Baba to activate the anti-gravity engine and fly around for most of the day. It and Banbu do have something in common. Banbu thinks about how to spend money as soon as it gets it, feeling uncomfortable until it's all spent. Baba wants to use up electricity as soon as it gets it, feeling like something is missing and uneasy until it's all used up.

…

"Is Mountain Lord Banbu present?"

A deep mental power penetrates the rain and transmits from a distant location to the mountain peak.

Lotus Mist Ghost King!

"Present!" Banbu replied. With a thought, it opened a drawer, picked up Baba, threw it inside, closed the cabinet door, and went out of the cave to meet them down the mountain.

It has been seven years since the birth of the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given seed, and they have only come now. The insects of Red Crow Mountain are indeed patient. Banbu knows that they are calculating the time of its promotion to L9 Mountain Lord, timing their arrival.

The Lotus Mist Ghost King's carapace carries the Begonia Butterfly King, its wings folded and antennae drooping. It's clear that it also dislikes rainy weather, especially traveling in it.

"Lotus Mist Ghost King! Begonia Butterfly King!" Banbu greeted.

The Begonia Butterfly King raised its antennae and complained, "Banbu, is winter always like this in your Eastern Region Continent? Everywhere we've traveled, it's been nothing but rain, cold and damp, simply killing insects."

Banbu said awkwardly, "It's much better in the south. North of Jinjiang is pretty much this kind of terrible weather."

The Lotus Mist Ghost King said sympathetically, "Further north than the Fire Lotus Kingdom, those places will have snowfall in winter, which is even more deadly."

Banbu agreed, "Yeah, the northern insects are even more unlucky. The south is still better."

The stronger the original power creature, the stronger its adaptability to the climate. For insect king-level warriors, hot and cold temperatures have long been difficult to affect. The Begonia Butterfly King's expression is just a racial preference.

They chatted idly as they traveled, passing through the trading square.

"You've rebuilt the trading square? It should have been renovated long ago." The Begonia Butterfly King said, "Lotus Mist Ghost King, let's rest at the foot of the mountain. Lízhu Peak is so small, I doubt there's a place for us to take shelter from the rain."

"Okay…" The Lotus Mist Ghost King was somewhat helpless with the Begonia Butterfly King's temperament. It agreed directly and then used its earth and stone ability to expand a tomb-like nest chamber and slowly crawled inside.

The Begonia Butterfly King tossed and turned, hanging upside down from the top of the nest chamber.

The Lotus Mist Ghost King crawled into another nest chamber next to it to take shelter from the rain.

Banbu also crawled into the nest chamber opposite and lay down.

Unanimously, they were silent for a long time.

The Lotus Mist Ghost King asked, "Mountain Lord Banbu, the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given seed landed on your Lízhu Peak?"

Banbu said, "Yes, it luckily landed on our Lízhu Peak."

The Lotus Mist Ghost King asked, "Calculating the time, it should have finished nurturing last year or this year and been planted, right?"

Banbu said, "Yes, it was just planted this year."

The Lotus Mist Ghost King asked, "Did you plant the high-quality Ma bamboo seeds elsewhere?"

Banbu said, "Ma bamboo likes warmth and humidity. The high-quality seeds have always been cultivated on another mountain peak near the river."

"…" The Lotus Mist Ghost King was depressed for a long time, then asked, "There's also a Sacred Bamboo God-given seed? It's said to be a hybrid of Belly bamboo and Sacred Sound bamboo, with very high quality and can extend lifespan."

Banbu said, "That's right."

The Lotus Mist Ghost King said, "The Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given seed strengthens power, which should be correct, but I don't know the yield."

Banbu said, "The flowering and fruiting cycle of the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given seed should be about 10 years. The yield of this kind of divine God-given seed is destined to be not high. The Sacred Bamboo only condensed 584 bamboo fruits, and the Giant Dragon Bamboo should be the same number. However, the Giant Dragon Bamboo culms are tall and strong, so the weight of a single bamboo fruit must be very sufficient."

The newest and most complete novels are at 6_9_shu_ba first.

The Begonia Butterfly King said, "According to our Red Crow Mountain's speculation, the yield of the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given seed should be the highest among all divine God-given seeds. Don't pretend to be humble, you, finding Dragon bamboo cost us Red Crow Mountain the most, but the biggest benefit was taken by your Lízhu Peak."

Banbu said faintly, "Begonia Butterfly King, last time with the Thunder Bamboo and Chongmu Yulan God-given seed transaction, our Lízhu Peak suffered a great loss! The Chongmu Yulan God-given seed strengthens the eyes, which is almost useless."

"We Red Crow Mountain didn't force you to exchange it." The Begonia Butterfly King replied, but its mood was obviously better.

Both sides have gains and losses in their interactions, which is normal.

The Lotus Mist Ghost King said, "Mountain Lord Banbu, the main reason the Begonia Butterfly King and I came this time, besides confirming the whereabouts of the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-given seed, is to ask how Lízhu Peak plans to handle the bamboo fruit production?"

The Begonia Butterfly King added, "We could use a few more Sacred Bamboo fruits. Red Crow Mountain has a bunch of old guys who manage the God-given seeds who could use them."

Sure enough, mastering a divine God-given seed means that other good things will be delivered to your door.

Banbu said, "I don't plan to sell the Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit. Lízhu Peak probably won't even have enough for itself. However, we can exchange it for good things of equal value, such as Bixue Longan, Snake Scale Fruit…"

Banbu paused and said, "Lotus Mist Ghost King, please don't mind, but, um, Ghost Mist Lotus strengthens the soul, but it doesn't seem to be very useful. One Ghost Mist Lotus can be exchanged for one Sacred Bamboo fruit."

It would be strange if it didn't mind. Among the seven formed tree seas of Red Crow Mountain, under the Red Crow Ghost King, each tree sea has a Ghost King specifically managing it. The Lotus Mist Ghost King is responsible for the Lotus Mist Tree Sea belonging to the Ghost Mist Lotus God-given seed. Denying the Ghost Mist Lotus is tantamount to denying the Lotus Mist Ghost King.

The Lotus Mist Ghost King has a better temper, but was slightly angry and annoyed, "Ghost Mist Lotus strengthens the soul, its effect is too small, I won't participate in the exchange."

"…" Banbu quickly apologized with a smile, "Lotus Mist Ghost King, please don't be angry, I was just saying it to try, the price, we can discuss it."

The Lotus Mist Ghost King said, "No need to try, one Ghost Mist Lotus, you need to take one Dragon Bamboo fruit, plus one Sacred Bamboo fruit to exchange with us. As for the use of Ghost Mist Lotus, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Agree, or don't agree, I won't force you."

The Begonia Butterfly King said, "Banbu, you and our Red Crow Mountain are quite compatible, and have a good relationship. If it were other tribes, no matter what they brought, they wouldn't be able to exchange for Ghost Mist Lotus."

"Okay, alright…" Banbu indeed just wanted to test it out. From the tone, it was clear that Red Crow Mountain had figured out the benefits of strengthening the soul, and it couldn't get any advantage.

The Begonia Butterfly King continued to add, "Bixue Longan has never been exchanged, and now that we've figured out its use, we Red Crow Mountain won't exchange it. Of course, Banbu, you can exchange a batch appropriately."

"…" Banbu said, "Then I can only exchange a large amount of Snake Scale Fruit?"

The Begonia Butterfly King said, "That's not the case. Red Crow Mountain's wild divine God-given seeds are fixed at 6, and there are 2 divine God-given seeds that have been nurtured into life seeds by warriors, for a total of 8. You have many choices."
