Natural God's Gift
#355 - The rich ancestral land of Shanglu
“This…” The Jingtian Spider King thought for a moment, feeling that Siyue was of its own kind, and the Shanglu Divine Tree had agreed to accept them.
Moreover, the Fang Clan Continent also possessed many divine-grade, divinely bestowed seeds, so there was no harm in telling them. The two sides might even exchange divine-grade fruits.
In fact, besides worrying about competition for the divine-grade Shanglu fruit, the Jingtian Spider King welcomed the emergence of the Flame Spider Kingdom.
With the Flame Spider Kingdom, they would essentially control the trade of primal force food on the eight continents, not to mention the various divinely bestowed primal force foods and divine-grade fruits on these continents.
“I can also tell you about the twelve divine-grade, divinely bestowed seeds in the kingdom. You should also have some divine-grade, divinely bestowed seeds on your Myriad Races Continent, right? Perhaps we can trade the divine-grade fruits we want.”
“Since you already know about the divine-grade Shanglu fruit, I won’t say much more.”
“Besides the divine-grade Shanglu fruit, the kingdom also has the cacao tree divinely bestowed seed, which grants life-elemental talent.”
“Grants life-elemental talent?” Siyue’s eight eyes gleamed. It currently possessed seven elemental talents, and its claws held the divine-grade dragon bamboo divinely bestowed seed, which granted strength-elemental talent. If it consumed a divine-grade fruit with life-elemental talent, it would only lack soul-elemental talent to achieve perfection in all ten elements.
“Yes, the divine-grade cacao fruit not only grants life-elemental talent but also comes with a life-force concealment ability. This fruit sells for 21 million primal stones on the Thousand Tree Continent and Thousand Mound Continent.
Mountain Master Siyue, when your divine-grade dragon bamboo divinely bestowed seed starts bearing fruit in the future, we can exchange them at equal value.
At that time, we can trade them at an internal price of 15 million primal stones per fruit.”
“Okay.” Siyue asked, “Jingtian Spider King, are there any divine-grade, divinely bestowed seeds that grant soul-elemental talent on the four continents of Zhibai Continent?”
“No,” the Jingtian Spider King said with great regret, “Divine-grade fruits that grant soul-elemental talent have been extremely rare existences for countless primal force cycles. Every appearance is a matter of chance.”
“Oh.” This was a big problem for other insects, but not so much for Siyue. It could simply eat a divine-grade Wishing Fruit and convert its abilities.
Then, the Jingtian Spider King continued, “The Shanglu Kingdom also has a divine-grade cactus divinely bestowed seed. The fruit it bears is called Myriad Mountains, and its effect is drought resistance. Eating this divine-grade fruit can lock in the moisture in the body.
Even in the driest environments, one can survive.”
Siyue couldn’t quite say whether this divine-grade fruit ability was water-elemental or supernatural-elemental. It should be quite useful for non-water-elemental insect warriors, but it was a bit of a waste for it.
“The third divine-grade, divinely bestowed seed is the divine-grade water lily, and its fruit grants water-elemental talent.”
This was also a useless ability for Siyue, but it would definitely be popular on the Fang Clan Continent.
“The fourth divine-grade, divinely bestowed seed is called Jade Mango Tree. After eating its fruit, one can use a wood-jade transformation ability.”
“Hmm?” Siyue became interested upon hearing this ability. “So the wood-jade transformation ability that we are bound to awaken after being promoted to Mountain Master comes from this divinely bestowed seed.”
Insect warriors who stay under a certain divine-grade, divinely bestowed seed for a long time have a chance to be influenced by its talent or ability.
It seemed that wood-jade transformation was a similar situation.
“That’s right, the wood-jade transformation ability of our original species Flame Spider warriors after being promoted to Mountain Master comes from this.”
“The fifth divinely bestowed seed is called Wind Letter, and the fruit it bears grants wind-elemental talent, along with the ability to transmit information through the wind.”
“Grants wind-elemental talent?” Siyue’s eyes lit up again. “Jingtian Spider King, what is the price of this divine-grade Wind Letter fruit? Can I pre-order two?”
Lord Longxu and Yunshi were the most eager to obtain wind-elemental talent. If it could bring this divine-grade fruit back for them to eat, they would be very happy.
The Jingtian Spider King said, “Because the divine-grade Wind Letter fruit comes with an ability, the price is relatively high, at 6.2 million primal stones per fruit, and it only accepts divine-grade fruits or divinely bestowed primal force food as payment.”
The price of divine-grade fruits that grant wind-elemental talent was slightly lower than that of water, earth, and wood elements, but better than gold, lightning,
and fire elements, maintaining a mid-range price, which Siyue could still accept.
“Jingtian Spider King, how often does the divine-grade Wind Letter fruit mature? How many does it produce at a time? When will the next batch mature?”
The Jingtian Spider King said, “The divine-grade Wind Letter fruit matures once every 23 years, producing six fruits at a time. The next batch will probably be in six or seven years. There is still one fruit in the next batch that hasn’t been pre-ordered.”
“Then I’ll trade for one after I’ve saved up enough divinely bestowed primal force food.”
“Okay.” In recent years, those in the Shanglu Kingdom who had the financial means to eat this fruit had basically eaten it. Some spiders had already started buying it for takeaway, so leaving one for the Fang Clan Continent wasn’t a problem.
Siyue asked, “What are the remaining divine-grade, divinely bestowed seeds?”
“The remaining ones include the Vajra Drill divinely bestowed seed, which grants metal-elemental abilities and can condense a vajra body.”
“There is also the divine-grade Gentleman Bamboo divinely bestowed seed, whose Gentleman Bamboo fruit can distinguish whether someone is lying.”
The Vajra Drill fruit was useless to Siyue, but the Gentleman Bamboo fruit was quite interesting.
Most of the time, the primal force food trades of their Flame Spider merchants weren’t just about how many primal stones were involved.
Often, the pricing of half or even a single primal stone would be debated for a long time. Otherwise, their Flame Spider merchants wouldn’t need to stay in a tribe for so long, they could just hand over the goods and leave.
The Gentleman Bamboo fruit could accurately estimate the other party’s bottom line price, allowing them to earn more profit.
If Siyue wasn’t short on funds recently, it would definitely try a couple of Gentleman Bamboo fruits.
Siyue quietly waited for the Jingtian Spider King to continue, “The eighth is the divine-grade Kudzu Vine divinely bestowed seed. The effect of the divine-grade Kudzu Vine fruit is to delay aging.
Ordinary insect warriors begin to enter old age when they reach half their lifespan, reducing their evolutionary potential, while the divine-grade Kudzu Vine fruit can delay the aging period by 150 years, greatly increasing the insect warrior’s evolution time.”
“This is good, this is good.” Siyue hurriedly spoke up. On the Myriad Races Continent, many Lord-level Flame Spiders were worried about entering old age. If they had the divine-grade Kudzu Vine fruit, many Lords wouldn’t have to worry about the difficulty of evolving.
The Jingtian Spider King generously said, “Siyue, there will definitely be many insect warriors who want this divine-grade Kudzu Vine fruit. At that time, you can buy them at a price of 3 million primal stones per fruit, and you can decide how much to sell them for.”
“Good, good, good.” The price of a divine-grade fruit that delays aging wasn’t as high as that of a divine-grade fruit that extends lifespan, but it was still a very good thing. Even if they couldn’t use it themselves, they could easily sell it for 5 million primal stones.
There were so many good things in Shanglu, and it wanted everything.
It was even more eager for the remaining three divine-grade, divinely bestowed seeds.
“The remaining three types of divine-grade fruits are the divine-grade Umber Fruit, which strengthens the tree's defense, greatly enhances the tenacity of the life seed, to the point where even insectoid warriors find it difficult to destroy.”
“The divine-grade Ephemeral Flower allows your soul to reach the peak of the King-tier state. However, the consumption requirements are also very strict; you must be at least at the peak of the Lord-tier to consume it.
There's also the divine-grade Ginseng Seed, which extends lifespan. One divine-grade Ginseng Seed extends lifespan by 50 years.
The divine-grade Ginseng Seed is the most expensive. You also know the price of the lifespan of Star Realm insectoid warriors. One year of lifespan costs at least 500,000 Origin Stones. The cost price of a divine-grade Ginseng Seed is 25 million Origin Stones. Even at such a high price, they are not easily sold.”
Upon hearing the Skyweave Spider King's introduction to the abilities and effects of these divine-grade fruits, Siyue took a deep breath. The Shanglu Kingdom left behind in the Star Realm were all divine-grade fruits with extremely high prices and significant effects.
Not to mention the seven hundred or so ordinary God-bestowed Seeds, these twelve divine-grade God-bestowed Seeds alone could buy their entire Flame Spider Kingdom on the Myriad Races Continent.
“Skyweave Spider King, the Shanglu Kingdom is truly wealthy. I think I need to go back and ask the Silverhowl Spider King over there, and then we can coordinate with each other to see which divine-grade fruits can be traded and which God-bestowed Origin Power foods can be traded.”
“No problem.” The Skyweave Spider King had lived for so many years and naturally knew that some things couldn't be decided on a whim.
It was normal for the trading time of divine-grade fruits to be stretched to decades or even centuries.
The Skyweave Spider King said, “Siyue, you probably want more than just divine-grade fruits, right? You should also want God-bestowed Origin Power foods, right?”
Siyue: “Yes, we need a large quantity of those. However, we have a sufficient supply of God-bestowed Origin Power foods over there to trade with.”
“Is that so? Then I'll take you to the trading plaza inside our Shanglu Kingdom. You can choose whatever God-bestowed Origin Power foods you want. If you need a large quantity in the future, we can directly trade and cooperate.”
“Thank you.” Siyue mobilized the Origin Power in its body, changing the color of its body surface back to the color of the Iridescent Flame Spider.
Currently, it was not advisable to publicize some things widely. It was better to conceal them for a period of time.
Naturally, the Skyweave Spider King wouldn't say anything about this.
The Skyweave Spider King brought Siyue to the trading plaza inside their Flame Spider Merchant group. Spiders came and went here, from low-level small warriors to King-tier Flame Spiders, in extremely large numbers.
Once here, Siyue understood why the Flame Spider Merchants outside didn't recognize it and weren't surprised. There were simply too many spiders here. If you weren't in the same circle, who would care about you?
Unlike the Flame Spider Kingdom, there were only a few spiders, big and small, that you would see all the time.
After bringing it into the trading plaza, the Skyweave Spider King left. As a Flame Spider leader in the kingdom, it had many things to do and couldn't stay by Siyue's side all the time.
Siyue then wandered around here by itself. The Spider King Token it had traded for earlier came into play here. It didn't keep a single one and exchanged them all for Origin Power food.
In addition to this, it also used the remaining God-bestowed Origin Power food to trade for many unique God-bestowed Origin Power foods here, preparing to take them back to the Flame Spider Kingdom to show the Ginkgo Spider King and the others, to see which God-bestowed Origin Power foods they needed.
That could be traded in large quantities.
“Mountain Lord Siyue,” a spider from the Azure Creeper Merchant group saw Siyue wandering around the plaza, shopping.
It greeted it warmly.
“Lord Azure Creeper, Mountain Lord White Creeper.” Siyue also went forward to greet them.
Seeing Siyue's bulging carapace, Mountain Lord White Creeper couldn't help but ask, “Mountain Lord Siyue, did you buy a lot of things?”
“Yes, I bought a lot, planning to eat some myself, and then take the rest to sell next year.”
Lord Azure Creeper couldn't help but say, “Mountain Lord Siyue, you've just returned to the kingdom and aren't familiar with many things in the kingdom. Didn't the Black藜 Spider King let you join its merchant group?”
“If not, then you can come to my merchant group. My merchant group's system is relatively relaxed. As long as you complete the annual business requirements, not only will you receive a salary, but you can also peddle your own Origin Power food to earn extra money.”
“No,” Siyue smiled and politely declined Lord Azure Creeper's kindness: “I'm used to being an independent merchant. I plan to travel more on the continent and broaden my horizons.”
“Alright then. If you're willing to join my merchant group, you're always welcome.”
“Thank you so much.” Merchant groups like Lord Azure Creeper's have mature tribal customers. Taking in a stranger like it and paying it a salary would definitely have an impact, but Lord Azure Creeper didn't mind at all.
That was very generous.
Siyue looked at the stall set up by the Azure Creeper Merchant group. Most of the items on it were ordinary Origin Power food, with only a few types of God-bestowed Origin Power food. However, the quantity of each type of God-bestowed Origin Power food was quite large.
Siyue was a little puzzled. It had just seen nearly a thousand God-bestowed Seeds in the central area of the Shanglu Kingdom. Logically speaking, merchant groups of Lord Azure Creeper's level should be able to obtain dozens of types of God-bestowed Origin Power food, right? But there were only four or five types of God-bestowed Origin Power food on the stall, which seemed a little thin.
“Lord Azure Creeper, the quantity of God-bestowed Origin Power food here seems a bit small!”
“Small?” Lord Azure Creeper and the others were rather surprised: “The types of God-bestowed Origin Power food here are already enough. I maintain most of my customers' transactions with these God-bestowed Origin Power food.”
“But aren't there many God-bestowed Seeds in the Shanglu Kingdom? Logically speaking, the types of God-bestowed Origin Power food you can obtain shouldn't be few, right?”
“Are you talking about that?” Hearing Siyue's words, the spiders of the Azure Creeper Merchant group chuckled.
“Mountain Lord Siyue, you've just returned to the kingdom and may not know that the God-bestowed Seeds in the Shanglu Kingdom are divided among different tribes and different merchant groups.”
“For example, there are 112 King-tier wild God-bestowed Seeds in the kingdom that belong to our Iridescent Flame Spider lineage.
These God-bestowed Seeds were collected by our lineage's Flame Spider ancestors over the generations. They are usually managed and operated by the warriors of the Original Seed Flame Spider tribe, and the output is distributed by the Spider Kings of our lineage.”
“When a Spider King enters old age or prepares to retire, they will distribute the output of the God-bestowed Seeds in their claws to the spiders below.”
“In addition to this, if a Flame Spider warrior prepares to become an independent merchant, the Spider King will also appropriately distribute some trading shares of God-bestowed Origin Power food to them. As for the specific amount, it depends on its degree of favor in the Spider King's eyes.
Of course, if you find a God-bestowed Seed yourself, then the ownership belongs to you, and the output is naturally all yours.”
“I see.” Isn't this just another form of separation of the family?
It seems that the experience models on both sides are still very different.
