Astral Cockroach

"A God-given seed of Cattail."

The Red Fort Princess remained much calmer, stating, "In the territory of the Longevity Roach King, I've seen a God-given seed of Cattail. Its growth pattern is clump-forming by division."

A precedent to refer to?

Banbu asked, "Princess Red Fort, how exactly does clump-forming by division work?"

Princess Red Fort replied, "When sown, it first grows into a clump, which is the mother plant where the tree spirit resides. The division is linked to the strength of the warrior nurturing it. Beginner warriors produce 2 clumps via lateral rhizome division; intermediate warriors produce 4 clumps; advanced warriors produce 8 clumps; after promotion to Mountain Lord, either the quality undergoes a qualitative change and improves, or it continues clump-forming by division…"

"It can only serve as a reference," Princess Red Fort said. "The same plant species, growing in different regions, will have differences due to environmental factors. The development pattern of your God-given seed of Cattail will definitely be clump-forming by division, but specifically, there may be some differences. For example, the number of clumps produced corresponding to the warrior's strength, and the size of each clump."

"I understand," Banbu nodded its antennae and asked, "Princess Red Fort, cattails grow in swamps, how should this God-given seed be sown?"

Princess Red Fort said, "That's simple. Leizhu Peak isn't short of water, is it?"

Banbu nodded its antennae and said, "I'm building ponds; three have already been completed, and there won't be a shortage of water even in the dry season."

Princess Red Fort said, "Cattails love water. Open up a paddy field and plant them in the field, and they will grow well. If there is a large river, you can also plant them directly on the bank."

"I understand." Banbu actually roughly knew how to sow, and asked on purpose.

Seeing Banbu humbly seeking advice, Princess Red Fort's goodwill increased considerably, and she asked, "Banbu, are you planning to cultivate bamboo species on a large scale? Or are you brewing up the idea of opening up a bamboo forest?"

Banbu said, "I have this plan."

"Bamboo species cultivation is difficult! I'm not too optimistic about the development potential of bamboo," Princess Red Fort said, not waiting for Banbu to retort, and immediately asked:

"Have you considered switching to another plant species? For example, Iron Saber Tree. There is large-scale planting in the Iron Saber Mountains, and it is a high-quality tree species with development potential no less than the Red Fort Tree. Switching to Red Fort Tree is also fine. Red Fort County can provide seeds and also send 10 new young warriors to help with the management."

Send 10 young warriors to help!

Upon hearing this, Banbu couldn't help but feel a little tempted. The biggest problem at Leizhu Peak now is that there are too few Red Roach warriors. Buying from the Myriad Kingdom Continent is not reassuring. Young warriors born in Red Fort County are definitely fine.

The key is the number, 10 young warriors!

Princess Red Fort noticed that Banbu was showing signs of being persuaded, and continued, "The Sheep Hoof Mountain Range has quite a large insect population, but it has never uniformly cultivated a certain plant species. Princess Weeping Fig has made up her mind this year to plant Red Fort Trees on a large scale in the Sheep Hoof Mountain Range, and will mainly cultivate Red Fort Trees in the future. In addition, a small amount of fig trees will be cultivated."

Mountain Lord Weeping Fig was promoted to Princess Weeping Fig, and this year obtained a God-given seed of Large Yellow Fruit Fig, the insect population in the Sheep Hoof Mountain Range is gradually increasing, and the mountain range will be upgraded to a county, and the Sheep Hoof Mountain Range will be renamed "Weeping Fig County" sooner or later.

Princess Weeping Fig's confidence has soared. She is starting to look up to Red Fort County, imitating Red Fort County's model for development, and plans to manage the Sheep Hoof Mountain Range into the second Red Fort County of the Fire Roach Kingdom.

Is everyone cultivating the Red Fort Tree?

Banbu steadied his mind and said, "Bamboo is also a plant with great development potential, and it is currently showing initial results. I plan to continue cultivating it."

"You still plan to cultivate bamboo? Alas… then I won't try to persuade you…" Princess Red Fort sighed helplessly.

Insect warriors, once they like a certain plant, it is difficult to change. In Red Fort County, she can only select a few young warriors who like Red Fort Trees to stay in the tree sea and cultivate Red Fort Trees together. Most of the Red Roach warriors live outside the tree sea, and these warriors like other plant species, which cannot be forced.

Nature is hard to change, and forced changes are harmful and useless.

Princess Red Fort spread her wing membranes, fanned them, and said, "Banbu, come with me, I'll take you to see the Fire Lotus Bee Queen."

"Thank you!" Banbu was overjoyed.

Princess Red Fort personally stepped forward, and this matter has a high chance of success.

…

Before even approaching the mountain peak where the Fire Lotus Bee Queen resided, Banbu felt a strong and subtle mental power sweep over its body.

Just landing on the flat square in front of the cave, a bee queen nearly 3 meters long, entirely brown, with three bright red rings on her abdomen, walked out of the cave surrounded by 10 worker bees over 2 meters long.

The bee queen rarely leaves the nest, and learns about the outside world through worker bees, and directs the bee colony in labor and combat. Only when Princess Red Fort arrives will she personally come out to greet her.

The Fire Lotus Bee Queen's temper was indeed irritable and emotional, and she asked reproachfully, "Red Fort, why did you personally bring this little black-shelled fellow here?"

Princess Red Fort said, "Fire Lotus, winter has arrived, you should consider sending that little Red Ring Bee Queen out."

"It?" The Fire Lotus Bee Queen said angrily, "Its development potential is not good! I know about the Brocade Screen Mountain Range. It is located on the borderlands, lacking in primal force, and there are beast warriors rampant."

Princess Red Fort remained silent.

The newest and most complete novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Banbu opened the silk pouch, took out the python skin wrapping, opened it layer by layer, and displayed the seeds inside.

"God-given seed!" The Fire Lotus Bee Queen exclaimed.

It could be clearly felt that the anger on her body was rapidly receding, replaced by shock and joy.

Banbu said quickly, "I know that the geographical location of the Brocade Screen Mountain Range is not good, a barren borderland, and full of dangers. This is a God-given seed of Cattail, as compensation for that little Red Ring Bee Queen going to Leizhu Peak to develop."

The Fire Lotus Bee Queen guessed Banbu's intentions the moment she saw the God-given seed, and after receiving a definite answer, she calmed down and said, "You have three God-given seeds, and adding this one, that's four. Although the quality is a bit lacking, the value lies in the large number. Combined, they are not much worse than a God-given seed of Red Fort Tree."

The Fire Lotus Bee Queen's words undoubtedly meant that she agreed by default, and then she asked, "Which plant do you plan to develop? I heard Princess Bigleaf say that you are planting bamboo? The development potential of bamboo is not very promising, is it?"

The Fire Lotus Bee Queen probably also wanted to persuade Banbu to switch to cultivating arbors such as the Red Fort Tree.

Banbu spoke eloquently, "Currently, there are already two kinds of bamboo species in the Brocade Screen Mountain Range that bloom and bear seeds every year without dying, named 'Golden Thread Bamboo' and 'Seven-Colored Bitter Bamboo' respectively. Based on these two bamboo species for hybridization, many excellent bamboo species that can bloom and bear seeds every year can be obtained. Currently, Emerald Bamboo has been successfully cultivated. If there are no accidents, two new hybrid bamboo species can be obtained next year."

"In addition, Leizhu Peak also has Leizhu Bamboo, which blooms and bears fruit once every three years, and has also collected rare bamboo species such as Black Bamboo, Purple Bamboo, Red Bamboo, Small Leaf Cold Bamboo, etc. Land is being opened up, and there are plans to expand planting on a large scale."

Banbu said confidently, "Starting next year, Leizhu Peak can earn approximately 5,000 primal stones in income by selling bamboo species, and this income will increase year by year."

"Increase year by year? Are you sure you didn't say it backwards?" The Fire Lotus Bee Queen asked in confusion.

Princess Red Fort also said, "Banbu, the income from selling new plant seeds should decrease year by year. Because other insect warriors who get the seeds will sow them, and will soon be able to obtain more seeds, and will no longer need them."

"Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case, but the Emerald Bamboo species does not belong to the normal category," Banbu did not try to be mysterious, and simply explained, "I used Golden Thread Bamboo and Mottled Bamboo to hybridize and obtain the Emerald Bamboo species. Emerald Bamboo seeds are sown, grow, and condense into bamboo fruit. Emerald Bamboo fruit is sown, but it cannot grow into Emerald Bamboo. This is the same principle as the hybrid rice mastered by the ant tribe on the Myriad Kingdom Continent."
