Natural God's Gift

With some gloom in his heart, the Lord of Wumei Mountain flew ahead to lead the way, while the spiders of the Ziyun Merchant Company, unaware of the reason, cheerfully followed behind.

They arrived at the core area of the Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly Kingdom. With the Lord of Wumei Mountain leading the way, the merchant company was spared the usual formality of announcing their arrival before entering the territory.

The Lord of Wumei Mountain directly led the merchant company to the trading square and immediately went to notify the other Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly warriors in the kingdom that a merchant company had arrived for trading.

The Flame Spider merchants unloaded the goods from their carapaces, spread spider silk cloths on the ground, placed the silk bags on top, and waited for customers to come and buy.

The Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly Kingdom was a large kingdom. Besides the main Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly lineage, there were also dozens of other butterfly warrior species that had settled in the kingdom for various reasons.

These butterfly warriors had various talents, so the Ziyun Merchant Company also purchased many types of Origin Force food.

In this large kingdom, except for God-given Origin Force food that needed to be reserved, other ordinary Origin Force foods were usually traded freely.

After the Torch Lord arranged the ordinary Origin Force food, he waited for customers to come to his door.

In this large kingdom, it was impossible for him to deliver every item to the door. How much would he have to run?

Anyway, their merchant company came around roughly the same time, and butterfly warriors who wanted to buy Origin Force food would come to trade during this period.

The Torch Lord explained to Siyue: "The Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly tribe has one Great Chieftain and two Deputy Chieftains."

"The Great Chieftain, Long Huai, is responsible for coordinating all affairs of the kingdom."

"Deputy Chieftains Ci Huai and Jian Huai are responsible for patrolling and defending the kingdom and the overall procurement and trading of the kingdom, respectively."

"The kingdom does not interfere with transactions between ordinary warriors, but some Origin Force foods that the butterfly tribe has a fixed demand for must be purchased and distributed by the kingdom in a unified manner."

Speaking of this, the Torch Lord sighed with emotion: "In this large kingdom with nearly a thousand insects, if you can get the fixed procurement rights for any kind of Origin Force food, that would be a transaction amount of hundreds of thousands of Origin Stones."

Siyue understood this because, due to tree species and environmental reasons, insect tribes could not possibly possess all the plant species they needed.

For example, the coastal areas would not have apple or walnut trees, which grow in the north.

And if these tribes needed a certain Origin Force food that they did not have, they would have to purchase it uniformly.

A large kingdom with nearly a thousand insects, even if each insect warrior only ate 100 Origin Stones worth of Origin Force food, that would still be a volume of transactions reaching hundreds of thousands of Origin Stones.

Siyue asked: "Torch Lord, has the Ziyun Merchant Company obtained similar Origin Force food procurement rights?"

Hearing this, the Torch Lord was slightly embarrassed, his movements stagnated for a moment, and then he pretended to be nonchalant and said casually: "The Origin Force foods they purchase are very distinctive. Our Ziyun Merchant Company has always been traveling along the coast of the Myriad Race Continent, and the goods we sell are all similar."

"The Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly Kingdom will naturally not ask us to purchase specific Origin Force foods."

"Oh."

Siyue looked at the Torch Lord with interest. He had already seen through everything.

The Torch Lord changed the subject without showing any signs: "Deputy Chieftain Jian Huai has a very high status in the Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly Kingdom. When he comes over later, I can introduce you to him and see if they are willing to help you make an iron frame."

"Okay." Siyue readily agreed. If he could get things settled here, it would naturally save him trouble. When the Ziyun Merchant Company set up their goods, it wasn't long before well-informed Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterflies...from their own territories rushed to the trading square to purchase Origin Force food from the Ziyun Merchant Company.

The Ziyun Merchant Company began to get busy, and Siyue, who was on the side, was not idle either, and was also helping out.

Most of the butterfly warriors who came to buy were at the advanced stage and the Mountain Lord stage.

After the Ziyun Merchant Company's stall became busy, they didn't have the leisure to chat and were constantly trading Origin Force food.

It wasn't until near dusk that the merchant company's business slowed down a bit. Siyue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I didn't expect there to be so many butterfly warriors."

Although these butterfly warriors didn't buy a lot of Origin Force food, only a few hundred or a thousand Origin Stones worth per butterfly, they couldn't withstand their large numbers.

Siyue had received five or six butterfly warriors today. They wanted various combinations of Origin Force food and also wanted the Flame Spider merchants to explain the combination effects, so it seemed very busy.

When there were fewer insects in the evening, some Lord-level butterfly warriors came to buy God-given Origin Force food one after another.

The Torch Lord also talked enthusiastically with the other party. Siyue worked on the side and often heard complaints that the Flame Spider merchants were taking out too few high-quality God-given Origin Force food, and they needed to buy some from various merchant companies to eat their fill.

To this, the Torch Lord could only respond apologetically.

In fact, it wasn't that they didn't have good quality God-given Origin Force food, it's just that they wouldn't take it all out at once.

The Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly Kingdom wouldn't buy all the goods on his carapace. If he brought all the good things here to trade, what would he trade with the subsequent tribes? If there were no good things pressing down on the carapace, those tribe gates wouldn't even let you in.

After successively trading with one or two Lord-level butterfly warriors, a Black-Veined Swallowtail Butterfly warrior with a wingspan of six or seven meters flew over in the air.

The huge butterfly approached the square, and even the starlight of the sun and moon at dusk was mostly obscured by it. In the eyes of the Flame Spiders below, its wide wings were like covering the sky and the sun.

Seeing this, the Torch Lord immediately reminded Siyue: "Siyue, Lord Jian Huai is here. I'll introduce him to you later."

"Okay." Siyue also put down the work in his claws and became serious.

The big butterfly flew over, stood on the square ground in front of the Torch Lord, folded its wide wings, and greeted the Torch Lord politely.

The Torch Lord also responded happily: "Lord Jian Huai, you seem to be a little late today. Come and see what you want."

The big butterfly perfunctorily said casually: "Something delayed me."

Then, it said to the Torch Lord: "Did you bring the God-given Origin Force food set that I ordered last year?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Facing a big customer, the Torch Lord did not dare to neglect him. He picked up a large silk bag containing the God-given Origin Force food, opened it, and took out several medium-sized silk bags from it and handed them to Lord Jian Huai for inspection.

The Torch Lord said: "Lord Jian Huai, this is the most top-level God-given Origin Force food set in the Origin Force Star Realm, two hundred thousand Origin Stones per set.

I guarantee that you can't find a better God-given Origin Force food set than this in the entire Star Realm."

"Two hundred thousand Origin Stones for one set?" Lord Jian Huai exclaimed, not immediately taking it.

Last year, he asked the Ziyun Merchant Company to give him several God-given Origin Force food sets.

At that time, he only said that the price could be accepted within twenty square Origin Stones, but he meant to buy several God-given Origin Force food sets to make up two hundred thousand Origin Stones, not to say that buying one set would cost two hundred thousand Origin Stones!

"Of course," Torch Lord opened the silk pouch and took out various God-given Primal Force foods from inside, saying, "To gather the most suitable God-given Primal Force foods for your Blackvein Powderwing Butterfly warriors, our caravan went to great lengths. Let me introduce them to you."

It picked up a God-given Sea Soul Fir seed: "This is a Soul-type God-given Sea Soul Fir seed, produced by the only Soul-type God-given seed in the Astral Realm. Although its seeds are small, the price is not cheap; one seed costs a thousand Primal Stones."

"What?" Sharp Locust Lord suspected it had misheard: "A thousand Primal Stones for one seed?"

"Yes, because it is produced by a King-level God-given seed and is Soul-type, the price is very high. We also had a hard time getting this stock." As it spoke, Torch Lord generously handed the God-given Sea Soul Fir seed in its claw to Sharp Locust Lord for inspection.

Sharp Locust Lord took the God-given Sea Soul Fir seed and carefully examined it, feeling the rich Soul-type Primal Energy contained within.

According to its experience, this was indeed produced by a Soul-type King-level wild God-given seed, but its price should be around 500 Primal Stones. Usually, ordinary God-given Primal Force foods are only marked up by 30%-50%, but now the Flame Spider merchant is actually selling them at double the price. They are as black as ever.

It was tempted to say it didn't want it, but for a Lord-level to advance to King-level, improvement in the soul is very important. Even when a King-level condenses Divine Runes, a stronger soul makes it much easier.

In the past, the Flame Spider caravan only brought Sea Soul Fir seeds bred from ordinary Life-seeds. It never knew that the Flame Spider Kingdom had such good things.

Was it because it didn't have top-tier God-given Primal Force foods to trade with the Flame Spider merchant? Or was it because it didn't give enough Primal Stones?

Thinking of this, it looked at the silk pouch, feeling that the silk pouch was not very big. Could it be that it contained many God-given Sea Soul Fir seeds: "Torch Lord, how many of these are there in the God-given Primal Force food set?"

"There are ten seeds," Torch Lord said. "Let me first tell you the types and prices. If you feel that any of the prices are unsuitable or unnecessary, I can pick them out."

"Alright," Sharp Locust Lord also wanted to see what good things their caravan had brought out. How could a set cost 200,000 Primal Stones?

Torch Lord took out the items from the bag one by one: "Strength-type King-level God-given Cone Chestnut, 800 Primal Stones each, a total of 10 seeds.

King-level Mental-type God-given Silver Walnut, 200 Primal Stones each, a total of 10 seeds.

Lord-level Wood-type God-given Green Maple Seed, 120 Primal Stones each, a total of 15 seeds.

Mountain Master-level Life-type God-given Sea Date, 150 Primal Stones each, a total of 15 seeds.

Mountain Master-level Strength-type God-given Cannonball Fruit, because of its large size, the price is also relatively expensive, 8,000 Primal Stones each,

a total of one fruit.

There are also Life-type God-given Soapberries, Strength-type God-given Elephant Ear Beans—"

Torch Lord recited dozens of God-given Primal Force foods that Sharp Locust Lord had never heard of, letting it know that the Purple Cloud Caravan had indeed put in effort to collect them.

The reason for saying it had never heard of them was not that it hadn't heard of these plants. The inheritance memory contained all kinds of plants, but it had never heard of these plants having God-given seeds before.

Today, it had greatly broadened its knowledge.

After reporting the prices and quantities of all the God-given Primal Force foods, Torch Lord asked, "Sharp Locust Lord,

do you see anything that needs to be reduced? Or anything you don't want? I can pick them out."

Sharp Locust Lord was a little speechless. It felt that it had been tricked and put on the spot by the Flame Spider merchant.

But it couldn't say anything. It was the one who said it wanted a God-given Primal Force food set worth 200,000 Primal Stones. It originally thought it could buy three or four sets, but it didn't expect the Flame Spider merchant to be so wealthy and actually come up with an oversized one.

Now that the other party had brought out the God-given Primal Force food set for it, it couldn't say it didn't want it, right? Wouldn't that be slapping itself in the face?

Could it, a dignified Lord-level warrior, the deputy leader of the Blackvein Powderwing Butterfly Kingdom, do something that would make it lose face?

If the Flame Spider merchant spread the word, saying, 'That Sharp Locust, it said it wanted a God-given Primal Force food set, and I put together a top-tier set for it, but then it said it couldn't afford it.'

Then how could it face the other insects?

Fortunately, 200,000 Primal Stones for a God-given Primal Force food set was not very much. It was just about half a year's output from a top-tier Lord-level God-given seed, which it could still afford.

Thinking of this, Sharp Locust Lord said, "Torch Lord, I'll take this God-given Primal Force food set. I hope it can be cheaper next time I buy it."

Hearing that Sharp Locust Lord took it without hesitation, Torch Lord was also very happy. It sincerely said, "Sharp Locust Lord, rest assured, this God-given Primal Force food set that we put together is definitely worth more than its price."

"Hopefully!" Sharp Locust Lord was not an ignorant insect. It knew that the Purple Cloud Caravan could earn a lot from this transaction, but the goods were indeed good and genuine.

Sharp Locust Lord took out a metal tube tied with a spider silk rope from its hind legs. The metal tube was tightened with an internally threaded cap.

It unscrewed the metal tube, took out twenty Spider King Notes with a face value of one square each from it, and handed them to Torch Lord.

Torch Lord also happily handed the silk pouch to it and took the Spider King Notes.

This was a big transaction, and there might not be one in several years. Quoting Sharp Locust Lord 200,000 Primal Stones for the God-given Primal Force food, its cost of goods was only 130,000 Primal Stones. It earned 70,000 Primal Stones with a single turn of its claw.

As for Sharp Locust Lord giving Spider King Notes, that was not a problem. If it were to exchange for 200,000 Primal Stones worth of God-given Primal Force food now, that would put a considerable burden on its back. Mainly, there were no suitable customers, and it might not be able to sell them.

Now it was holding the Spider King Notes, weighing less than a pound. When it returned, it would be almost the end of the year's autumn harvest. At that time, it could use the Spider King Notes to buy fresh harvested God-given Primal Force food. Wouldn't that be great?

At the same time, the Spider King Notes represented the credibility of the Flame Spider Kingdom, and it dared not refuse to accept them.

If it refused to accept them, as long as an insect reported it to the kingdom, its caravan would be immediately disbanded, and it would have to retire in the kingdom for the rest of its life.

With the transaction completed, Torch Lord's spider face smiled very ferociously: "Sharp Locust Lord, would you like to buy some other things? Our caravan has quite a few good things."

"No, thank you." Sharp Locust Lord looked at the sky. At this moment, the sun had already set, the moon had risen, and the starry sky was dotted around it: "It's very late, let's talk about it next time."

"Alright." Sharp Locust Lord had spent 200,000 Primal Stones at once, which was already a big expense. Torch Lord didn't expect the other party to buy another God-given Primal Force food set of the same price.

However, Torch Lord raised its front leg and pointed to Fourleaf, continuing to say, "Sharp Locust Lord, this is a junior from our Flame Spider Kingdom named Fourleaf, who wants to discuss a business deal with you."
