Astral Cockroach

The evolution of the Tata Tree God-given seed continued until the end of the dry season.

The period from the dry season to the Mid-Autumn season is also the busiest time for Lizhu Peak, with tasks such as pollination, soil loosening, irrigation, harvesting, and seed selection needing to be done.

The bamboo fruits condensed from the Holy Bamboo God-given seed ripened again, and Du Bamboo, an important labor force, needed to be guarded at all times. Because of many things, Ban Bu had to do them himself.

The Holy Bamboo bamboo fruits were the last to ripen and were harvested completely.

The third batch of produce was still 8 portions for sale, with 6 portions sent to the mountaintop cold storage for preservation, and 2 portions sold to the Giant Cockroach Tribe and the Wolf Scorpion Tribe respectively.

With the Holy Bamboo bamboo fruits sold, Lizhu Peak began to have some leisure time.

By this time, various ordinary life seeds in the territory were produced in large quantities. Bamboo fruits were not suitable for long-term preservation, so all members opened their stomachs and ate them as soon as possible. Bamboo rice, cypress seeds, pine nuts, Xun grass seeds, and other origin power foods were dried and sent to the mountaintop cold storage for preservation, to be eaten slowly during the winter, which would take about a whole winter to finish.

… …

Lotus Mist Ghost King and Hibiscus Butterfly King led the team, with Princess Thunder Bamboo guarding the rear. A team of 30 Ghost Wasp warriors at the princess level, fully loaded with spider silk bags, crossed the continent and arrived at Lizhu Peak in a mighty manner, resting at the trading square at the foot of the mountain.

The 3 million origin stones for purchasing the Dragon Bamboo mutated seed, a total of 300 bags, were directed by Xiang Pu to be transported to Lizhu Peak by the combat worker bees, while Da Tou directed the worker ants to count them one bag at a time and store them in a special origin stone warehouse.

In addition, there were 3 spider silk bags that Ban Bu personally carried and sent to the mountaintop cold storage.

One portion of Ghost Mist Lotus fruit was stored using 10 origin power food storage boxes.

The boxes were also valuable, purchased at a high price from Chiwu Mountain Flower, and Ban Bu had to replenish 10 boxes for them.

There were also 2 portions of Fire Scale Pine Nuts, exchanged one-to-one with the Holy Bamboo bamboo fruits.

The Chiwu Mountain team rested at the Lizhu Peak trading square for half a month. Lotus Mist Ghost King and Hibiscus Butterfly King each ate one portion, directly consuming the Holy Bamboo bamboo fruits, and continued to travel around the countries of the continent with light packs.

Lei Zhu led the team and returned the way they came.

… …

One portion of Fire Scale Pine Nuts was sent to Iron Saber Mountain Master. It was indeed quite old, and was only at the L8 mountain master level. It had already eaten longevity peaches and Holy Bamboo bamboo fruits to extend its life, and eating more would be ineffective. It had to advance to the princess level as soon as possible. Ban Bu was worried that it would grow too fast and fail to evolve, causing it to die. In addition to promoting rapid growth, Fire Scale Pine Nuts also had the effect of increasing the probability of successful molting and growth.

Ban Bu ate the remaining portion of Fire Scale Pine Nuts himself.

30 pieces made up one portion. The name "Pine Nuts" was very inappropriate. A single one was as long as 25 centimeters, and the kernel was mango-shaped, even larger than a regular mango.

The prototype of the Small Scale Leaf Fir was the Scale Leaf Fir. Small granular seeds were selected and cultivated generation after generation. After countless generations, a small seed tree species that could be easily accommodated by the life sac was finally selected. However, the seeds of the God-given seed were several times larger, and the life sac could not hold them at all. This kind of plant was destined not to be nurtured into a life seed, so it was a wild God-given seed.

… …

Ghost Mist Lotus was pre-ordered by Chiwu Mountain. Because it was too valuable, the specific exchange method had not yet been determined. After the bamboo fruits condensed from the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed matured, tests confirmed the strengthening effect. It was mostly insufficient, and another portion of Holy Bamboo bamboo fruits had to be taken out to compensate for the price difference.

The Ghost Mist Lotus fruit was flat and round, slightly smaller in size, with 500 pieces in one portion. The flowering and fruiting cycle of the Ghost Mist Lotus God-given seed on Chiwu Mountain was 6 years, and only 6 portions were produced each time. After much persuasion, they were only willing to exchange 3 portions with Lizhu Peak. In the future, Du Bamboo and Guan Li could exchange for one portion, but the other members of Lizhu Peak would probably not have any.

Ban Bu regarded this as a treasure. As soon as the Chiwu Mountain team left, he carried Baba up the mountain.

"Baba, this is a good thing I just got. Can you help me take a look?"

"It really is an origin power food that strengthens the soul! Wow, it really is a 'divine product'! You even exchanged this? The bugs at Chiwu Mountain are so stupid!"

Baba's attention was first attracted by the Ghost Mist Lotus, exclaiming non-stop. After carefully checking and talking a lot of nonsense, she then checked the Fire Scale Pine Nuts.

"This thing is also good. If you were still a human, you could use it to cultivate a supernatural power. Now that you are a bug, it's more convenient, just eat it directly. According to my analysis, if you break the shackles of the gene lock and advance to the cosmic life level, due to your racial talent, the origin power patterns on your carapace will naturally transform into supernatural powers. Now it is strengthening the origin power patterns, and in the future it will be strengthening the supernatural powers."

Ban Bu asked, "How do I eat these things? Can you help me calculate it?"

Baba asked, "This is called Fire Scale Pine Nuts? The single pieces are a bit big. You are only a ninth-age mountain master now, so you might not be able to handle it. You must carefully prepare and adjust your state to the best before each consumption. Rest for 5 days after eating once."

The origin power contained in the Fire Scale Pine Nuts was too fierce, and Ban Bu instinctively felt that this thing was not easy to deal with. Hearing Baba's tone, she didn't have any other good methods. He didn't dwell on it and asked, "What about Iron Saber Mountain Master? It's also a ninth-age mountain master now?"

"Iron Saber Mountain Master?" Baba casually said, "It's old and doesn't have the assistance of cultivation techniques. It's best to eat one every half a month. If it really doesn't work, then every 20 days. Anyway, just be careful."

Ban Bu asked again, "What about the Ghost Mist Lotus? How is it best to eat?"

This time, Baba pondered and began to calculate.

"Ban Bu, your soul is stronger than ordinary mountain master-level or even princess-level insect warriors, right? If I'm not mistaken, you've used the 'Soul Seizing Secret Technique' to enhance your soul, right?"

Ban Bu replied, "Yes."

Baba said, "You're lucky. The soul you absorbed and fused has a very high degree of compatibility with you. I haven't found any hidden dangers yet. It's been many years, right? Now that there's no problem, there shouldn't be any problems, but the Soul Seizing Technique has both advantages and disadvantages. You should still be cautious when using it in the future."

Ban Bu asked, "Does this have anything to do with eating Ghost Mist Lotus?"

"Yes." Baba said, "Your current soul strength is 0.54 levels higher than your strength, which is already ridiculously high. This portion of Ghost Mist Lotus could originally strengthen the soul strength by about 0.42 levels, but it might be halved on you."

Baba took the initiative to explain, "This is limited by your overall physical fitness. Your body cannot bear a soul equivalent to the cockroach king level, and can only approach the cockroach king level soul strength."

Baba continued to say in an educational tone, "Basic physical fitness is the foundation for improving strength. Origin power food is a shortcut to strengthen physical fitness, but there should also be appropriate exercise to strengthen your body. Look at you, you're lazy every day, don't work, and you'll be useless sooner or later."

"… …" Ban Bu said seriously, "Baba, let's talk about serious matters. What is the best way to eat Ghost Mist Lotus?"

Baba said, "For you, the best effect is 200 pieces, which will increase your soul strength by 0.2 levels. After that, the strengthening effect will be greatly reduced, wasting such a good thing."

Ban Bu asked, "Give it to the other members on the mountain to eat?"

"Of course." Baba said, "I suggest giving it to Du Bamboo. It is now the second most valuable insect on your Lizhu Peak."

"There's no need for Rat King and White Bamboo at all. They also used the Soul Seizing Technique to forcibly absorb and enhance their souls, right? And Big Bear and those five bamboo rat warriors, they've used it, but the increase is small."

"I can exchange for another portion of Ghost Mist Lotus for Du Bamboo in 6 years." Ban Bu explained, and asked, "Xiang Pu 150 pieces, Da Tou 150 pieces, how about that?"

Baba said, "Whatever, anyway, the limit of this thing to strengthen the soul is 0.42 levels, and you can only eat 500 pieces at most. In fact, eating 350 pieces is the most cost-effective. Since the quantity is limited, you can consider dividing it up and giving it to other members on the mountain."

"Then let's decide that for now. I'll think of a way to exchange for a few more portions later." Ban Bu continued to ask, "Ghost Mist Lotus is not suitable for long-term storage. How much is suitable for me to eat every day?"

Baba said simply, "You can eat 30 pieces, and Da Tou and Xiang Pu can only eat 10 pieces."
