Astral Ant Tribe

The life level of the God-given Seed of South Jujube should be equivalent to the Mountain Lord level.

In the early stage of fruit ripening, the process of absorbing a large amount of force only lasted one day and one night.

The next day, facing the breeze and sunshine, the color of the green fruits began to become darker.

Three days later, the fruit appears brownish-yellow near the stem.

There is a light fruity aroma overflowing.

There are birds and small forest animals attracted by the scent of Force food and come to look for food.

Long Bai and Mo Lan flew and patrolled around the huge tree, releasing the unique aura of the Force creatures to intimidate and drive them away, killing those desperate predators.

After another five days, the fruit will turn brown and have a rich fruity aroma.

Wait another day and the surface of the fruit will be dull in color and dark brown patches will appear, which is a sign of complete ripeness.

"Longbai, are you sure now how much rough stone one fruit is worth?" Mo Lanxi asked and picked one for Longbai.

"certainly……"

Long Bai quickly ate the pulp, peeled off the core, scanned it with mental energy, checked repeatedly, and commented:

"Sold to a caravan, the whole fruit is worth about 13 rough stones. The pulp tastes great and is worth 3 rough stones, and the core is 10 rough stones."

Mo Lan asked: "Should I buy it from the caravan?"

Long Bai: "The whole fruit is worth about 15 rough stones. Since the enhanced type is relatively rare, the price fluctuates. If it is sold to those Zerg who are famous for their flying ability, 18 rough stones are not a problem."

Mo Lan: "More than three thousand! We can sell a lot of rough stones..."

"well--"

Mo Lan looked up to the sky and sighed.

It is valuable, but it cannot be sold to caravans, and there are no other insects in Yunji Continent that can buy it.

With such a large amount, he and Long Bai would definitely not be able to finish it all.

How to deal with it in the end?

Leave it to rot?

This is a seed given by God!

Just thinking about it makes my heart bleed.

Thinking about it again, I and Long Bai still owe Bai Wei 2,000 rough stones and I don’t know how to repay it...

Mo Lan felt uncomfortable for a while.

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, the fruit is ripe, pick it quickly."

Cypress and ink orchid are flying or crawling on and under the trees, busy picking.

Under the tree, on the ruling throne, seven empty-bellied specialized blue ants also began to get busy.

The fruit of Ziziphus jujube is an oval berry about 4 cm in length, divided into pulp and core.

The force material is mainly concentrated in the core.

The pulp also contains a small amount of raw material. When fully mature, it has a sweet and sour aroma, and has an excellent taste.

The job of the blue ants is to eat the fresh fruit pulp and refine it into 'King Ant Honey'.

Long Bai and Mo Lan spent a day picking them all, happily eating the fresh fruits and counting the harvest at the same time.

There are really 3477 pills that Mo Lan has counted last time, not one too many, not too many.

It took another four days, with the cooperation of seven specialized blue ants, to refine all the pulp into honey.

A common problem among wild tree species is that they have large fruit cores and less pulp.

In the end, only 3 blue ant abdomens were filled. There was a little bit left over and put into Mo Lan's metal can.

Blend a variety of fruits, dried fruits, and a small amount of animal meat, and brew ordinary ant honey, filling a jar.

Prepare to sell to Ghost Fan.

The sun has been strong in recent days, and the fruit cores have been basically dried and packed into spider silk bags.

Guessing that it was almost time, we set off for Ghost Fan Mountain.

…

…

…

I wasted no time and arrived in the morning.

The seeds of the ghost fan were only harvested in the past few days. They were neatly arranged on a cut flat board and placed in the sun to dry.

Ghost Fan stood by.

"Longbai Ant King! Mo Lan!"

From a long distance, Ghost Fan shook its tentacles vigorously to greet them.

Long Bai and Mo Lan don't have its strong mental power.

The throne of domination fell rapidly.

"Ghost fan!"

Mo Lan rushed to say hello.

"Gui Fan, are we early?"

Long Bai greeted half-jokingly.

Now that they are familiar with each other, they don't have to be so alert and can directly control the throne to land on the ground.

"Not early. Not early."

Ghost Fan quickly shook his tentacles.

Mujianjia's staple food is wood. Due to its race and being alone, its body movements and thoughts and emotions appear particularly naive and clumsy when communicating.

Seeing its appearance, Long Bai stopped joking and asked seriously: "Have all the rough stones been used in time? How is the quality of these ghost fans?"

Ghost Fan replied: "Longbai Ant King, according to your guidance, I crushed the original stone in time and gave it to Ghost Fan, and it absorbed all of it."

"Longbai Ant King, take a look first." Ghost Fan carefully picked up a ghost fan from the board with his toes and handed it to Long Bai.

Long Bai: "Original stone powder contains a lot of special force substances needed for the growth of force plants, so don't waste any of them,"

Long Bai added something, took it and flipped through it, scanning it mentally.

The quality was slightly better than predicted, but not enough to affect the price.

Ghost Fan asked with some anxiety: "Longbai Ant King, how many rough stones have you collected?"

Long Bai: "18 rough stones/piece, ghost fan, what do you think?"

Is it so valuable? Gui Fan didn't understand that he should hide his emotions at this time, so he jumped for joy and said happily: "That's great!"

Ghost Fan also doesn’t understand that bargaining is still possible in transactions.

Since the seller has no objections, the price is determined.

Long Bai continued: "Gui Fan, we will trade in the late spring, and the final settlement will be with the principal and interest. You owe me and Mo Lan an integer of 5,000 rough stones, right?"

Ghost Fan: "Yes!"

Long Bai: "5000 divided by 18... is approximately equal to 278. You give me 278 ghost fans."

The ghost fan tried to calculate, but was confused, and then chose to believe Long Bai, solemnly saying: "I will repay with 278 ghost fans."

Ghost Fan: "Longbai Ant King, I harvested 637 ghost fans this year! I repaid 278, and I still have..."

Long Bai: "You still have 359 pieces left."

So much left! Ghost Fan raised his head slightly and looked at the ruling throne.

On the throne, Mo Lan immediately picked up the metal can and promoted:

"Ghost Fan, this is the ant king honey we brewed from the pulp of the God-given South Jujube! Seasoned with our secret method, it is super delicious. Do you want to try it?"

"Ant King Honey?"

Gui Fan felt itchy when he heard the word "honey".

Wood tastes tasteless, and occasionally meat is eaten, but the taste is worse and has a strong fishy smell.

But if you dip it in ant honey, it tastes much better.

Mo Lan: "The ant honey is brewed by mixing ordinary force food. The ant king honey is made from the pulp of a god-given seed. Regardless of the taste or the strengthening effect, it is on another level."

Moran opened the lid, and the mixed sweet smell filled the air.

Ghost Fan twitched its antennae, saliva secreting rapidly and uncontrollably.

"Mo Lan, how did you sell it?"

"Very cheap! 1,000 rough stones/jar. As usual, after eating, you have to return the jar to us."

Long Bai made a last-ditch attack at the right time and said: "The yield of the God-given Suziju jujube is quite abundant, but its strengthening effect is only mediocre. Mo Lan and I can't eat it ourselves, and we can't sell it all for sale, so we disposed of it at a low price."

yes! In order to enjoy the delicious food, I forgot about the enhanced effect.

Gui Fan was stunned, but after thinking about it, he said happily: "1,000 rough stones are not expensive, I bought it. The membrane wings of the wooden armor are naturally weak, it might as well be strengthened."

After speaking, he unfolded his elytra, revealing the brown membrane wings inside, and said somewhat depressedly:

"I could fly when I was very young, but as I evolved and grew, my body became heavier and heavier, and I couldn't fly anymore."

Long Bai: "..."

Cymbidium:"……"

Now that you said so...

Mo Lan picked up the oversized spider silk bag containing the Ziziphus jujube cores and said: "Ghost Fan, you can have some more Ziziphus jujube stones!"

"There's no need for this..."

Ghost Fan asked: "Longbai Ant King, there are two specialized blue ants with a lot of King Ant Honey in their bodies? Can you sell me more?"

Long Bai readily agreed: "Of course!"

Long Bai asked: "Gui Fan, is that metal can still there from last time? Bring it over and I'll mix it for you."
