Astral Cockroach

The best time to sow the God-given seed of the Cattail is in the spring.

Time waits for no insect.

After the Cattail advanced to a Level 6 intermediate warrior, Banbu had it incorporate the God-given seed into its life pouch for incubation. The Red-ringed Acid Bee race is inherently too fragile, and now the Cattail has accumulated a batch of Origin Power foods to strengthen its physique.

For the first time ever, Banbu was constantly hoping that the Rainbow Flame Spider tribe's caravan would arrive sooner.

As if thinking about something makes it happen, the Chonglou caravan actually arrived earlier than in previous years.

Without needing to ask "Can we go up the mountain?", because Big Bear, guarding the rice paddies at the foot of the mountain, had already greeted them and was leading them directly up the mountain.

Out of courtesy, Chonglou still called out: "Mountain Lord Banbu! I am Chonglou from the Rainbow Flame Spider tribe."

Inside the cave, Banbu heard the call, flashed out of the cave, and flew up and down.

Going down the mountain to greet them.

"Mountain Lord Chonglou, Luoshi, Xuemai..." Banbu greeted them enthusiastically, one by one.

With more interaction and mutual recognition, a sense of friendship unconsciously developed.

Chonglou also happily called out: "Mountain Lord Banbu, you have indeed advanced to a 4-year-old advanced warrior."

Banbu said: "I ate too much Origin Power food that strengthens fire and metal abilities, and my physique couldn't keep up. Advancing to a 4-year-old advanced warrior is a bit difficult! This year, I need to buy a batch of Origin Power food that strengthens my physique."

"No problem," Chonglou said, "Our caravan still has many purchasing channels for Origin Power food suitable for advanced warriors and Mountain Lords to strengthen their physique. We have enough quantity and a variety to satisfy you."

After a round of pleasantries, Banbu jokingly asked: "Mountain Lord Chonglou, your caravan arrived faster than the Yuzhu caravan this year!"

Chonglou said: "I predicted that you would advance to a 4-year-old advanced warrior this year, and the Purple-Gold God-given Seed would derive new branches accordingly. To prevent other caravans from getting there first, we traveled faster."

Xuemai called out: "Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice sells especially well in the Golden Mantis Kingdom. 6,000 grains of bamboo rice are not enough at all. It would be great to have 60,000 grains."

Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice, calculated by the grain, 6,000 grains are indeed not much, weighing less than a kilogram. The price is not high; Banbu's selling price is only 2,000 Origin Stones. The caravan resells it, and the selling price shouldn't be high either.

With the name of God-given Seed attached, and the price being cheap, naturally many ordinary Mountain Lords are willing to buy some to try it out, so of course it sells well.

Banbu said: "60,000 grains of bamboo rice, not this year, but in another year or two, there should be some."

Chonglou asked: "Banbu, is the number of Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice branches still the same as before?"

Banbu said: "Yes, 6,561 new branches were derived at the beginning of spring."

Chonglou asked: "Then how many branches do you plan to sell this year?"

Banbu said: "6,000 branches."

Chonglou asked: "What about the quality of the Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice?"

Banbu said: "Go up the mountain first, and you'll know once you taste it."

Chonglou also asked: "What about the bamboo fruit?"

Banbu said: "The quality of the bamboo fruit has also improved well. On average, each bamboo fruit requires an investment of 6 Origin Stones, an increase of 2 compared to the year before last. Hehe, this price has to be raised!"

Chonglou said: "I heard that the selling price to Mountain Lord Huabai is 20 Origin Stones?"

Banbu said: "Yes."

Chonglou said: "Then let's follow the pattern of last year. Our caravan offers 19 Origin Stones, how about it?"

Banbu said: "That's what I was thinking too."

...

The group went up the mountain.

Datou had already started working, directing the worker ants to carry the stored bamboo fruit down from the top of the mountain in tubes.

Banbu took out a small bag of Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice.

They inspected the quality one by one.

The bamboo fruit was fine.

When it came to the Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice, Chonglou said straightforwardly: "Banbu, the quality of the Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice hasn't improved much, so the price... can only be raised a little."

Banbu had eaten several hundred Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice grains and more than a hundred Iron Tallow fruits, so he knew in his heart that Chonglou was telling the truth. He didn't refute it and directly asked: "Mountain Lord Chonglou, how much of a price increase do you think is appropriate?"

Mountain Lord Chonglou said: "I'll give you 6,600 Origin Stones for the bamboo rice produced by 6,000 branches. That's all the increase I can offer. How about it?"

Banbu thought for a while and said: "Okay, before I advance to Mountain Lord, let's go with this price."

They agreed on the price in a few words and began to count the quantity and complete the handover.

Calculating Origin Stones.

For the Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice, the caravan paid the remaining 1,200 Origin Stones and a deposit of 3,300 Origin Stones.

For the Green Bamboo Fruit, the caravan paid the remaining 6,716 Origin Stones and a deposit of 5,548 Origin Stones.

"Banbu, a total of 16,764 Origin Stones, what do you need to buy?" Chonglou asked.

This year, they can definitely sell more goods. Xuemai had already climbed onto Chonglou's back carapace, eager to try.

The arrival of the caravan can be said to be a rare joyous event in the Silent Mountains.

Fengling came up the mountain with the caravan.

The seven Bamboo Rat warriors also stood not far away, watching.

At this time, Hongdao, accompanied by the Cattail and surrounded by the bee swarm, arrived late, timidly and quickly hiding behind Banbu.

Banbu shook his antennae, signaling the Cattail to land on his head, and introduced: "Cattail, don't be afraid, they are the Rainbow Flame Spider tribe's caravan. This is the caravan leader, Mountain Lord Chonglou, this is Luoshi, that is Xuemai..."

He then introduced to the caravan: "This is called Cattail, the young queen bee of the Red-ringed Acid Bee tribe that was born last year."

"It was born in the Fire Lotus Bee Queen's territory? I seem to have heard about it last year..." Chonglou said in confusion and admiration: "The Fire Lotus Bee Queen has unique insight, choosing the Jinping Mountains instead of the popular Yangti Mountains."

"Hehe," Banbu smiled without saying a word.

Chonglou casually asked: "I have heard rumors in Qiufeng County that the God-given Seed of the Big Yellow Fruit Banyan in the Yangti Mountains indirectly has the effect of prolonging life, but unfortunately, the number of fruits it bears each year is small."

Banbu said: "Their Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe helped催生 it, so there must be a period of weakness. It's normal for the number of fruits to be small. I think we should wait and see for another two years before drawing a conclusion."

After Banbu finished speaking, he bent his antennae and gently tapped the Cattail, saying: "Mountain Lord Chonglou, you see, the Red-ringed Acid Bee race is naturally weak, what affordable Origin Power foods does your caravan have that can help it?"

"Cattail!" Cattail struggled to mobilize its mental power and shouted: "Cattail God-given Seed!"

Banbu suddenly realized and added: "Mountain Lord Chonglou, the Cattail is now also incubating a Cattail God-given Seed, and its growth is somewhat difficult. I am a little worried about its molting and growth."

Chonglou asked: "Cattail God-given Seed?"

Banbu said: "Yes, judging from the aura emitted by the seed particles, it should be to strengthen fire abilities."

Hearing that it was to strengthen fire abilities, Chonglou was slightly disappointed and said: "I have seen the Cattail God-given Seed. The branches grow in clusters, and the quality and yield should be similar to Purple-Gold Bamboo Rice. Banbu, you don't plan to sell it, right?"

Banbu said: "Before the Cattail advances to Mountain Lord, there shouldn't be any extra to sell."

The topic returned to the Cattail.

Chonglou said: "A primary warrior incubating a God-given Seed, and it's the Red-ringed Acid Bee, a race with a fragile constitution. Banbu, you can't be stingy with Origin Stones."

"Of course not," Banbu raised his head and shouted: "Xuemai, can you introduce some Origin Power foods that are suitable for the Cattail?"

Being a millionaire, Banbu was generous and planned to spend lavishly.
