Astral Cockroach

The amethyst divine seed was too important to the Amethyst Stalk Beetle Tribe. The Amethyst Armor King and the Mutton Fat Bee Queen wouldn't be at ease until they saw the iron birch heartwood.

The Amethyst Tree Spirit itself was also extremely afraid of death. Once the deal was settled, it frequently urged Banbu to return to Lizhu Peak and quickly bring the things over to try and verify its guess.

Banbu stayed on Mutton Milk Peak for several days, waiting for the fruit of the Mutton Fat divine seed to ripen. After tasting it, he finally set off to leave.

The return journey was simple: fly straight through the Golden Mantis Kingdom, enter the Horned Cockroach Kingdom to the east, then fly southeast into the Fire Lotus Kingdom, and continue flying southeast in a straight line to return to Lizhu County.

The heartwood of both iron birch trees was stored in Banbu's dwelling cave. After obtaining the items, there was no rush to leave.

Banbu found Big Head and Red Rice, obtained a batch of iron birch remnants, and came to the Tata tree at the foot of the mountain.

"Tata, how have you been recently?"

"I'm fine. Banbu, didn't you say Baizhu would be back in a few years? Many years have passed."

"Yes, he'll be back in a few years."

"Then how many years exactly?"

"I'm not too sure about that. Baizhu is about to be promoted to County Lord, Tata, you must also grow well!"

"Oh…" The Tata Tree Spirit was disappointed and asked, "What about Baba?"

"Baba ran out of power."

"Oh…" The Tata Tree Spirit was completely disappointed.

After a simple conversation, Banbu confirmed that after all these years of growth, the Tata Tree Spirit was still foolish and silly, and there were no signs of its intelligence recovering.

Observing with the Heavenly Eye, its soul was in a healthy state, but its strength was only at the level corresponding to completing one transformation and evolution. This was the soul level corresponding to an advanced warrior, and like most advanced warriors, it exhibited incomplete intelligence.

Tata saw Big Head directing the ant colony to use iron birch remnants to prepare nutrient soil and said, "Banbu, this kind of remnant doesn't help my growth much. It's for strengthening metal element abilities, which is different from me."

"It's okay, we're just trying it out, there will always be some benefits." Banbu scanned with his mental power, personally pointed out the location, and Big Head directed the worker ants to dig the soil.

Using a standard silk bag's worth of 5 bags every day and continuously observing for 5 days, Tata's soul really had a slight change.

It was effective, but not as significant as the amethyst divine seed. From this, it could be inferred that iron birch remnants had the effect of healing tree spirit soul injuries, but it also depended on the object; it was more effective for some plants and less effective for others.

Tata saw Banbu continuously using 25 bags of iron birch remnants with residual Origin Power properties on itself and couldn't help but wonder, saying, "Banbu, just use my own remnants for me, I'll be able to complete my second transformation and evolution very quickly."

Banbu said, "It's okay, let's try it, Tata, it's good for you."

"What good is it?" Tata said, "Banbu, you weren't this generous before, Baizhu and Baba both said you were very stingy."

"Is that so? Baizhu even said that? Hmm, that's great. Tata, haven't you always wanted to recover your memories? Absorb well, iron birch remnants might be able to help you." Banbu waved his antennae and instructed, "Red Rice, Big Head, use 5 bags of remnants for Tata every day, continue for… 1 month and see."

"Understood." Big Head agreed.

The Tata Tree Spirit's soul was still very weak, and mental power assistance was needed for communication. Red Rice followed along and was busy for a few days, and discovered that Banbu was using "Heavenly Eye" to observe from time to time, and also watched along, and discovered a clue, asking:

"Banbu, Tata's soul seems to have grown a bit."

"Yes." Banbu said, "In Amethyst County, I discovered that iron birch remnants have the effect of assisting in healing soul injuries."

Red Rice immediately said, "Then Iron Gall Chestnut… we've used quite a bit on it!"

"The situation with Iron Gall Chestnut is different." Banbu shook his antennae and said, "Iron Gall Chestnut's weakness is caused by long-term Origin Power deficiency, it's not an injury. Its plant growth, supplemented with a certain amount of time, will naturally recover."

Banbu said, "Let's go, let's go take a look."

Both iron birch and Iron Gall Chestnut strengthen metal element abilities.

The remnants of the Iron Gall Chestnut were far away in the Red Firmament Continent, and couldn't be brought back for a while, so Lizhu Peak had been using a large amount of iron birch remnants to help it.

So far, the effect was minimal. The Iron Gall Chestnut's growth rate was only a little faster than its normal state. To grow quickly, it still had to use its own remnants.

Analyzing the reason, the compatibility between the two types of plants was too low, and the Iron Gall Chestnut could not extract the key substances for its own growth from the iron birch remnants.

Banbu directly brought a piece of iron birch heartwood down the mountain.

The Lotus Mist Ghost King was guarding next to the Iron Gall Chestnut. Probably because it was old, it liked to nag. The Lotus Mist Ghost King discovered that the Iron Gall Chestnut Tree Spirit had a gentle personality and especially liked to communicate, and also knew the history and customs of the Red Firmament Continent. Under the similarity of interests, it simply settled down by the lake.

"Lotus Mist Ghost King! Iron Gall Chestnut!" Banbu greeted.

He also greeted the lake in the distance, "Nine Leaf Red Lotus, how have you been recently?"

"I'm fine." The Nine Leaf Red Lotus responded. It didn't like to talk, but liked to listen, and liked to silently listen to the Lotus Mist Ghost King and Iron Gall Chestnut's conversations. Their conversations always contained valuable information. It didn't like the childish and ignorant little warriors chirping and making noise, and had mentioned it to Banbu twice. Banbu ordered Green Bamboo to only bring the little warriors to play by the lake in the evening every day.

"Banbu, what are you doing?" The Lotus Mist Ghost King's gaze locked onto the iron birch heartwood that Banbu's forelimbs were holding.

Behind Banbu, Red Rice followed, and Big Head directed the worker ants to carry tools and follow.

The Iron Gall Chestnut also said, "Banbu, you're not planning to use the heartwood on me, are you? I've said it, it's not very useful, don't waste it anymore."

The Lotus Mist Ghost King also wondered, "Calculating the time, the motor car steel rails will soon be laid and opened. When the time comes, the Iron Gall Chestnut's remnants can be transported back. Banbu, there's no need to be so anxious, right?"

"Testing it out." Banbu said, "I'm trying to see if iron birch heartwood can help the Iron Gall Chestnut grow quickly."

Saying that, he personally picked up an iron bucket and scraped off powder little by little with his toes.

The iron birch heartwood was really too hard. It took him half a day to scrape off one-tenth.

Mixed into the soil and swamp dregs, it was made into nutrient soil and buried under the tree.

"Iron Gall Chestnut, you try it."

"I'm trying it." The Iron Gall Chestnut hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems to have a little effect!"

"Seems?" The Lotus Mist Ghost King became interested.

"So heartwood is useful!" Big Head also exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone excitedly guarded the tree, continuously observing for 5 days, and then they were all disappointed.

It was effective, but it was still not obvious. In 5 days, it only grew less than 1 meter in height, which was far worse than the effect of the Iron Gall Chestnut's own remnants.

According to the reason, the compatibility between the two tree species of iron birch and Iron Gall Chestnut was not good.

Banbu handed the heartwood to Red Rice and instructed, "Observe Tata's changes. If it has obvious growth after a month, then try using the heartwood. If not… preserve it well, maybe it will be useful in the future."

"Understood."

"Remember, in the autumn, when farming is slack, immediately organize the warriors to open up the grape seedling nursery. The matter of digging the reservoir can be slowed down a little, that's not a very urgent task."

"I understand." Red Rice responded.

Banbu didn't waste any more words and bid farewell to the Lotus Mist Ghost King.

Banbu was very generous. The two iron birch heartwoods were the same length and size, and had the same elemental properties. He went up the mountain and took another unused complete heartwood, tied it to his carapace, and sped off to the Ant Armor Kingdom.

…

The amethyst divine seed used iron birch remnants to heal its injuries, and after a month and a half, its condition clearly improved.

"Amethyst Tree Spirit, your condition is good."

"Yes, thank you for the remnants you sent." The Amethyst Tree Spirit said somewhat eagerly, "Did you bring the iron birch heartwood? Mutton Fat Bee Queen, hurry up and try it."

Once the heartwood arrived, some was immediately scraped off for testing.

Completely different from the Iron Gall Chestnut's reaction, the Amethyst Tree Spirit immediately came to a definite conclusion: this iron birch heartwood could help it condense its heartwood smoothly. With the heartwood reborn, it would only take about 50 years to return to its peak state.

Banbu stayed on Mutton Milk Peak.

Another month and a half later, he went to Jinjiang, and handed over the remnants to the Red Firmament Cockroach King's team that was transporting them. He also entrusted the grape seeds that had been exchanged to the Red Firmament Cockroach King, asking it to help bring them back to Lizhu Peak, where Red Rice would organize the sowing and seedling cultivation.

Banbu continued to stay on Mutton Milk Peak, paying attention to the state of the amethyst divine seed, wanting to witness it condensing its heartwood with his own eyes, to determine whether it was a success or failure.

Winter passed and spring came, and all 600 bags of iron birch remnants were used up.

The Amethyst Tree Spirit's soul injuries were completely recovered, and its overall condition reached its best. Only then did it begin to use the iron birch heartwood little by little.

Exchanging grape seeds, the Amethyst Stalk Beetle Tribe obviously began to guard against Banbu, fearing that their techniques would be stolen. The grape cultivation and seedling cultivation techniques were the foundation for their tribe to live comfortably and prosperously in the Myriad Races Continent.

Banbu also didn't make himself a nuisance, honestly lying on the top of Mutton Milk Peak, occasionally going to the mountainside to check.

In February of the spring season.

A flower spike suddenly sprouted from the main trunk of the amethyst divine seed.

Was it going to bloom and bear fruit?

Banbu asked, "Amethyst Tree Spirit, have you reached your flowering period? Can you still bloom in your current state?"

The Amethyst Tree Spirit didn't answer.

The Amethyst Armor King smiled and said, "Lord Banbu, take a closer look."

Banbu scanned with his mental power and immediately realized that only one flower spike had sprouted from the main trunk of the entire plant. He immediately thought of the Nine Leaf Red Lotus condensing its heartwood in the form of lotus seeds.

"Is this condensing the heartwood? In the form of fruit?"

The Amethyst Tree Spirit replied, "Yes. As you guessed, I was born naturally and am quite special. Lord Banbu, the subsequent changes will be quite terrifying, you must be mentally prepared."
