Natural God's Gift

In the early spring, Si Ye didn't immediately go to the Coast Isopod Tribe. Since they were busy at the moment, it wouldn't be wise to go and wait foolishly.

During this time, it spent every evening building a dock with the combat squad at the Edge of the World Reef, and every morning it stayed beside the Lucky Clover Divine Seed to sleep, watching the flowers bloom on its tree.

Looking at the flower buds on the tree, Si Ye suddenly became curious and asked, "Lucky, when you bear Divine-grade fruits, can you condense the kind of fruit you have in mind?"

Lucky Clover Divine Seed: "What do you mean by condensing the kind of fruit you have in mind?"

Si Ye said, "For example, if I want a Divine-grade Three-Star Apricot, can you directly grow a Divine-grade Three-Star Apricot?"

The Lucky Clover Divine Seed retorted, "Didn't the Ginkgo Spider King say that only 20%-25% of Mountain Lord-level individuals awaken their talents? If I grow a Divine-grade Three-Star Apricot on the tree, what's the difference between that and eating a Divine-grade Wishing Fruit and then making a wish?"

"Uh, that's true."

Immediately, Si Ye retorted, "That's not right either. The two are still different. If you don't have wood-type talent, it's difficult to make the Divine-grade Wishing Fruit work. But if you directly bear a Divine-grade Three-Star Apricot, even without wood-type talent, you can still eat it."

"Are you stupid?" The Lucky Clover Divine Seed unceremoniously scolded, "Didn't you say that there's a kind of Divine-grade fruit called the Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit? If I'm going to condense a fruit directly, why wouldn't I condense the Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit?"

...

Si Ye's own tree scolded it, but after thinking about it, it felt that what the Lucky Clover Divine Seed said was right. The Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit was certainly more valuable than the Divine-grade Three-Star Apricot.

Lucky Clover Divine Seed: "What? You don't want the Wishing Fruit anymore?"

Si Ye candidly said, "Everyone now thinks the price of the Divine-grade Wishing Fruit is a bit expensive, and condensing it into a Three-Star Apricot isn't worth it, so they don't really want it."

"So now you want the Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit? Didn't you say there isn't a Blood Vine Divine Seed?"

Not only was there no Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit, but the Flame Spider Merchant had traveled all over the four continents and hadn't found the existence of a Blood Vine Divine Seed or a Mangosteen Divine Seed.

Si Ye naturally said, "So now I'm asking you if you can directly grow the fruit I want! If you can, then there's no need to look for the Blood Vine Divine Seed or the Mangosteen Divine Seed."

The Lucky Clover Divine Seed had grown in the Initial Territory for many years. With Si Ye and Artemisia teaching it, it had gradually gained a lot of knowledge, and it could even be said that it was no worse than Si Ye, and even better than Bai Zhi.

It pondered for a moment and said, "I've also thought about this question when I have nothing to do in the Initial Territory."

"The Ginkgo Spider King once said that my fruit ability is wishing, and the Sea Soul Fir Divine Seed said that my fruit ability is to accommodate the astral laws according to my will, and then transform them into abilities or talents."

"At that time, I was thinking, since my fruit can transform into the desired ability after it matures, can I directly bear the desired fruit on the tree?"

"My tree thinks this approach should be feasible."

Then the Lucky Clover Divine Seed said with disappointment, "If you didn't owe so much debt, I would have done this experiment long ago."

"Haha," Si Ye chuckled twice, not daring to answer.

Si Ye said, "Then I'll go ask the Ginkgo Spider King and see if it agrees to do this experiment."

The Lucky Clover Divine Seed was too lazy to pay attention to it.

Si Ye hurriedly went to find the Ginkgo Spider King.

In recent years, the Ginkgo Spider King had been staying in the Flame Spider Kingdom. The Dragon Bamboo Continent next door seemed to be recovering its original power, so it wasn't convenient for it to drive the bionic warrior around, mainly because the benefits and costs weren't proportional.

This year, it had been in its own territory, wanting to find a Divine Seed nurtured by a medium-to-large tree to experiment with the Divine-grade Wishing Fruit, but so far, there had been no good news.

Although their kingdom had a vast area, they could find Divine Seeds every year, but that didn't mean that tree Divine Seeds were discovered every year.

Only the Flame Spider Kingdom dared to place the Divine-grade Wishing Fruit like this because they had the Divine Forbidden Box. Otherwise, this kind of Divine-grade fruit with a fragile outer skin could easily lose its original energy.

"Si Ye, haven't you gone out yet?" Seeing Si Ye, the Ginkgo Spider King was a little surprised. It had said at the end of last year that it would go to the Coast Isopod Tribe before the beginning of spring, but it didn't expect that it hadn't gone yet.

"No," Si Ye said, "At the beginning of the year, the Coast Isopods also have to take care of their life seeds. There's no space for me even if I go there now, so I might as well take care of the life seed in the kingdom."

"That's right, no matter what our insect warriors do, they have to have two months off in spring and autumn to work in their own territory."

The Ginkgo Spider King said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"It's like this, I want to experiment and see if the Lucky Clover can directly nurture the Five Elements Fruit." Then Si Ye explained its thoughts.

After hearing this, the Ginkgo Spider King also calmed down and thought about it. In fact, most Divine-grade fruits need to be tested bit by bit to find out the effect of the Divine-grade fruit.

Under normal circumstances, two or three tests are enough to understand the effect of the fruit.

The Divine-grade Wishing Fruit is somewhat special, and so far they have not tested all of its effects.

The Ginkgo Spider King said, "There are a few things I want to remind you. First of all, this experiment may not be successful."

Si Ye said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed. An experiment is about trying and testing. At worst, we'll remove the unformed fruit at that time."

Ginkgo Spider King: "The second problem is that even if the fruit growth is feasible, the Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit at the Mountain Lord level cannot be sold for 100 million original stones. 100 million original stones is the price of the King-level Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit."

"Uh—"

Si Ye said, "Ginkgo Spider King, what price do you think is more appropriate?"

The Ginkgo Spider King said, "The probability of awakening talent in a King-level Divine-grade fruit that grants talent is about 50%-55%. The probability of awakening talent in a Mountain Lord-level Divine-grade fruit that grants talent is around 20%-25%."

"The original price of the King-level Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit was 100 million original stones. According to the awakening ratio, the price of the Mountain Lord-level Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit should be 40 million original stones."

This is no different from directly condensing the Divine-grade Wishing Fruit!

Directly condensing the Divine-grade Wishing Fruit and then transforming it into a Divine-grade Three-Star Apricot by the Emerald Apricot Divine Seed costs 60 million original stones. It, the Violet Cloud Merchant Guild, and the kingdom each share one-third, with each share being a profit of 20 million.

If it condenses the Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit, without the nurturing cost of the Emerald Apricot Divine Seed in the middle, then it and the Violet Cloud Merchant Guild will split it in half, with each getting 20 million original stones.

It's okay, it's barely acceptable, but I don't know how long it will take to nurture a Five Elements Fruit? But it's only thirty years old, so it can afford to wait.

"This is not a problem either. I can pay back the interest I owe the five Flame Spiders first."

Seeing this, the Ginkgo Spider King continued, "Also, the condition for the kingdom to give you the Divine Seed was that for every awakened talent, you have to repay the kingdom one Divine-grade Wishing Fruit. This will not change because of your age increase. Even if you advance to the King level, the value of the Divine-grade Wishing Fruit increases, you still have to repay the kingdom six of them."

"I know." The kingdom just played a time difference with it. The kingdom invested in Si Ye's awakening of six additional talents when it was young, and when Si Ye grows up, it will return six Wishing Fruits to the kingdom to be stored as a foundation again. This is a win-win situation.

Si Ye said, "Ginkgo Spider King, if there are no other problems, I will let the Lucky Clover Divine Seed try to nurture it."

After receiving the Ginkgo Spider King's permission, Si Ye immediately ran back to tell the Lucky Clover Divine Seed that it could start the experiment.

The Lucky Clover Divine Seed said, "I don't know how to condense the characteristics and specific information of the Five Elements Fruit? What if the fruit that comes out is not the fruit you want?"

"You didn't say that earlier," Si Ye muttered, "I'll go to the kingdom's abyss and get the Divine-grade Fruit Illustrated Book for you to look at."

Si Ye went to the kingdom's abyss again and got the Divine-grade Fruit Illustrated Book about the Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit from Lord Azure Maple's claws for the Lucky Clover Divine Seed to watch.

In the Divine-grade Fruit Illustrated Book, there are detailed introductions to the clear appearance and function of each Divine-grade fruit. If the Lucky Clover Divine Seed doesn't understand anything, Si Ye can also explain it to it.

After the Lucky Clover Divine Seed understood it, Si Ye also relaxed.

At this time, it slowly said again, "Si Ye, I remember you once said that there is a law Divine-grade fruit called the Seven-Colored Fruit. Do you think we should try to condense that law Divine-grade fruit? That's much more expensive than the Five Elements Fruit."

"No, no, no, first try to condense the Divine-grade Five Elements Fruit and see if it can succeed, and how long it will take!"

Although Si Ye felt that the Lucky Clover Divine Seed was a kind of omnipotent tree-like existence, condensing the highest-level law Divine-grade fruit was like a small horse pulling a big cart. It really didn't have much confidence.

"Cowardly Spider." The Lucky Clover Divine Seed looked down on this kind of spider.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm cowardly." Si Ye was too lazy to say too much to this kind of brainless creature.
