Astral Cockroach

Visiting the vineyards of the Purple Stem Beetle Tribe, especially after seeing their various ancestral god-given seeds, gave Banbu a new understanding of the grape plant.

Li Zhu County also has many low hills suitable for planting grapes, with suitable soil and climate, and wild mountain forests themselves have native grape species growing.

In the early years, a wild, god-given grape seed was also discovered, with green fruit, specifically the "Falling Green Grape" variety, also known as "Green Grape," which is one of the most common native grape species. Originally, it was guarded by a black bear warrior. Big Bear went to see it several times, intending to greet his fellow clansman, but due to the large size difference, the black bear warrior was always frightened and fled in panic. After several times, it disappeared.

The remaining Falling Green god-given grape seed is not particularly far from Li Zhu Peak. Big Bear and Big Head occasionally go to take care of it, and in the spring, Xiang Pu's bee colonies can go there to collect a batch of nectar.

It grows quite well, and without any other costs, it smoothly completed a transformation and evolution. Every summer, it can produce a batch of grape fruits, with green, small, and sour berries. Because it enhances the ability of grass and wood elements, the quality is poor and worthless, so it is all taken away by Cliff Cypress County for free.

In the past ten years, trade caravans have sent small warriors who like grapes, and Red Rice has kept them, arranging for them to live around the wild Falling Green god-given grape seed. Now, 4 warriors have gathered.

Choosing fertile hills in Li Zhu County to open up a vineyard is a very good choice.

All native species of grapes are not considered precious, which means that the starting point of the genetic gene is low, and it takes time and effort to cultivate high-quality seeds. Exchanging directly from Purple Crystal County is also a good choice.

There are a total of 381 derivative species, the result of thousands of years of labor by the Purple Stem Beetle Tribe's ancestors. When Banbu toured, he silently evaluated these grape varieties and divided them into grades:

Special Grade: Purple Crystal and Crimson Grapes. Both varieties can give birth to divine-grade products, and the genetic optimization is infinitely close to top-level plants. The Purple Stem Beetle Tribe's iconic plants cannot be taken out for external exchange.

First Grade: Mutton Fat, Goat Milk, Grass Bead, Red Pepper, Frosted Dew, etc. There are as many as 31 varieties, all on the same level as the Sacred Bamboo and Thunder Bamboo of Li Zhu Peak. The god-given seeds born can reach the highest grade.

Second Grade: There are 147 varieties. Third Grade: There are 101 varieties. In fact, they are all quite good.

… …

Banbu rested overnight on the top of Goat Milk Peak.

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit is definitely not asleep; it must be carefully discussing with the Purple Crystal Beetle King and the Goat Milk Bee Queen.

The next morning, Princess Grass Bead came to invite Banbu.

"Purple Crystal Beetle King, Goat Milk Bee Queen, good morning!" Banbu greeted enthusiastically: "Purple Crystal Tree Spirit, good morning! Your condition is much better today."

"Yes." The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit did not waste any words and directly asked: "Lord Banbu, are you sure you want to use Iron Birch Heart to exchange for grape plants?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Then how much do you know about grape cultivation and breeding techniques?"

"This… should be quite complicated, right? Does it involve hybrid breeding? And grafting techniques? Or a mix of both types of techniques? It seems more troublesome than the three-line hybrid of bamboo and rice."

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit said: "To be honest, many high-quality varieties such as Purple Crystal, Crimson, Mutton Fat, and Goat Milk all use hybridization and grafting techniques, involving at least 3 plant species, so they have the excellent traits you see."

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit said: "These techniques are the most precious wealth accumulated by the Purple Stem Beetle Tribe's ancestors over generations and cannot be passed on."

"I can understand." Banbu didn't care about the so-called techniques and silently waited for the following.

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit continued: "Therefore, you have two choices for exchanging Mutton Fat grapes."

"First, our Goat Milk Peak provides ready-made seeds. Don't worry, Mutton Fat grapes are different from bamboo and rice. Although they are hybrids, they will not lose their ability to reproduce, nor will they degenerate and weaken after planting for one or two generations. They can be sown and optimized generation after generation. This choice also has subsequent benefits. In the future, if our Goat Milk Peak cultivates better Mutton Fat grapes, we can share them with you for free."

"Second, we provide Li Zhu County with the 3 grape plants needed to cultivate Mutton Fat grapes, but we will not tell you the specific method. You take them back and explore on your own. Whether you can succeed depends on your ability."

Since it is a hybrid, then the original species must be obtained, so the first option cannot be chosen.

The second option sounds mysterious, but in fact, the so-called "technique" is just that. Let Baba scan and analyze the genes, and it can be calculated in a few minutes.

Banbu pretended to hesitate for a few seconds and then reluctantly replied: "I choose… the second one."

"I hope you won't regret it." The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit was a little annoyed and said: "The three varieties are Goat Milk Grape, Kudzu Silk Grape, and Crystal Grape. Among them, Goat Milk Grape is obtained through the cultivation of three varieties: White Jade, Cloud Treasure, and Evergreen. So, you have to face two more choices: Do you want the Goat Milk Grape seeds directly? Or do you want the related original species?"

"There are… this… how did you come up with this…" Banbu was startled subconsciously when he heard this.

It is equivalent to saying that Mutton Fat grapes use 5 varieties of plants, integrating the genes of at least 3 varieties?

The essence of hybridization is the integration of genetic genes, which is complex and unpredictable. Different plant species behave completely differently.

Arbors generally belong to higher plants, and hybridization is difficult to succeed. Even if it succeeds, the offspring will either be infertile or of poor quality and deformed.

Different varieties of grapes can be hybridized, but there seems to be an essential difference from rice and bamboo.

Integrating the genes of at least 3 varieties? Shape segregation will definitely occur, and there is also the probability and selection of seeds. It may be necessary to select qualified varieties from thousands of similar but different plants.

It is difficult to understand and unimaginable how the Purple Stem Beetle Tribe came up with this method without genetic theoretical knowledge.

Blindly messing around, good luck, a coincidence?

The key is, with their simple minds and intelligence, why would they make such tedious and complex attempts? Without theoretical knowledge to support it, the method cannot be deduced, and simply trying your luck is impossible to stumble upon this.

The difficulty is too great, the probability is too low, and Banbu's heart began to beat the drum, and he asked: "Down the line, there are no other more complicated choices, right?"

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit said: "White Jade, Cloud Treasure, and Evergreen are all high-quality derivative species cultivated from pure selection of native species. There are no other choices."

"Then I…" Banbu said: "Still, choose, the second one."

This time, Banbu was really in trouble.

The entire cultivation process, the complexity of the process, is probably difficult for a normal-intelligence red cockroach warrior to teach. Even the simple three-line hybridization confuses many stupid guys.

Damn it, how did the Purple Stem Beetle Tribe do it? I can't see that this tribe is very smart; on the contrary, from top to bottom, they all look dull and silly.

Banbu thought, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that the Purple Crystal Tree Spirit is directing it?

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit simply said: "Lord Banbu, such an exchange is equivalent to your Li Zhu County obtaining two high-quality qualities, Goat Milk and Mutton Fat, at the same time, right?"

My ass!

"Yes." Banbu's answer was a little stiff, with a headache and toothache.

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit said: "Therefore, no matter how many years the Iron Birch Heart helps me recover to my peak in advance, our Goat Milk Peak will only pay these 5 related varieties."

Banbu replied: "That is fair and reasonable."

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit asked: "Then it's a deal?"

Banbu said: "Deal."

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit said: "I hope that after all 600 bags of wreckage have been transported, the Iron Birch Heart can also be sent. Just right, now is the height of summer, and early-maturing varieties of grapes have begun to mature and be harvested one after another. This year, you can get a batch of seeds."

The Purple Crystal Beetle King said: "5 varieties, 10,000 seeds of each, how about that?"

Banbu said: "Okay, thank you for your trouble."

The Purple Crystal Beetle King just shook his antennae and didn't say much.

The Goat Milk Bee Queen sneered: "Greed is not enough. The cultivation method of Mutton Fat grapes is… is what Goat Milk Peak spent thousands of years to explore."

"I, just, want to, try." Banbu stammered and asked: "Purple Crystal Tree Spirit, I would also like to ask a question, were you born naturally? Or were you born as a godsend?"

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit asked: "What's the difference?"

Banbu said: "Curious, just asking."

The Purple Crystal Tree Spirit said: "In the era when I was born, Purple Crystal Grapes had not yet reached the height of divine birth of divine products. I was born naturally."

Born naturally, then the Purple Crystal Tree Spirit probably has special abilities.

Banbu was 100% sure that the Purple Crystal Tree Spirit was the key to the Purple Stem Beetle Tribe's grape cultivation technology. Insect warriors are ultimately stupid and ignorant. In fact, the Tree Spirit may be providing on-site guidance in some way.
