#208 - A deal you can't refuse

"Lady Leizhu, how do you plan to purchase?" Facing Banbu's question, Lady Leizhu did not answer directly, but introduced herself: "Mountain Lord Banbu, I also possess three God-given Seeds, one of which is the Yellow Sky Fruit Tree, the signature tree species cultivated by our Ghost-faced Locust Tribe, a superior variant of the Skyward Tree."

"The Yellow Sky Tree God-given Seed enhances earth element abilities, which aligns with the innate abilities of our Ghost-faced Locust Tribe. It's of low-grade excellent quality, with the potential to be upgraded to standard excellent quality, or even high-grade excellent quality."

"I just turned a hundred years old this year, a 4th instar Lady, and the most promising young warrior in Crimson Crow Mountain to advance to Ghost King. After the Crimson Crow Ghost King, I will also inherit the position of Mountain Lord of Crimson Crow Mountain."

Lady Leizhu then wiggled her antennae and pointed to the advanced warrior at the very back of the group, introducing him: "He is called Shala, a young warrior born in Crimson Crow Mountain just 4 years ago. Favored by the True God of Nature, he obtained a Shala God-given Seed. The enhancement effect is a rather valuable speed enhancement, currently of superior quality, and according to the pattern, there is a certain hope of upgrading to excellent quality in the future."

"If I fail to advance to Roach King, then Shala will inherit the position of Mountain Lord of Crimson Crow Mountain after me."

Leizhu said, "Mountain Lord Banbu, not only the Crimson Crow Mountain Lord, but also Shala and I, we can all guarantee to you that the golden-thread bamboo and colorful bitter bamboo traded will never be leaked, and we will not compete with you for bamboo seed trade."

Mountain Lord Chonglou said, "Mountain Lord Banbu, our Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe can guarantee this."

Leizhu said, "Our Ghost-faced Locust Tribe is a top-tier powerful clan in the Southwest Region, and has never had any blemishes in terms of reputation."

The Crimson Crow Ghost King is indeed quite foolish, sending the two most potential warriors in the tribe to such a place, without fear of any accidents along the way.

With such sincerity, a direct refusal would probably lead to a falling out with Chonglou first.

Banbu asked again, "Lady Leizhu, how do you plan to purchase?"

Leizhu said, "400,000 Origin Stones, plus a bamboo species that can flower and bear seeds every year, in exchange for your golden-thread bamboo and colorful bitter bamboo."

"You actually collected a bamboo species that can flower and bear seeds every year!" Banbu's antennae twitched, and he asked, "Which bamboo species' variant is it?"

"This… to our shame, we at Crimson Crow Mountain lack sufficient knowledge of bamboo species and haven't identified it yet." Leizhu said somewhat awkwardly, "It is a medium-sized bamboo species, similar to black bamboo and purple bamboo, with a slightly shorter bamboo pole, dark green, and gray-black linear vertical stripes on the mature culm. The Crimson Crow Ghost King named it 'Ghost-line Bamboo'."

After Leizhu finished speaking, she added, "The Ghost-line Bamboo was bought back from the Myriad Nations Continent by the Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe's trade caravan more than two hundred years ago. Besides our Crimson Crow Mountain, many seeds were also sold to the territories of other insect warriors."

"Too much time has passed, and it is impossible to verify whether the Ghost-line Bamboo is unique to Crimson Crow Mountain. We at Crimson Crow Mountain have never thought of monopolizing this bamboo species, so consider it a gift to Mountain Lord Banbu."

Leizhu continued, "We at Crimson Crow Mountain have collected more than 150 bamboo species. If Mountain Lord Banbu has any needs, and we cultivate seeds in the future, we can entrust the trade caravan to send you a copy of each."

Including Emerald Bamboo and Rain Bamboo, Lízhu Peak currently has a total of only 64 bamboo species.

The bamboo species of Crimson Crow Mountain are the Crimson Crow Ghost King's lifelong treasures, most of which Banbu doesn't have. This is the most tempting condition!

Banbu tentatively asked, "You don't have a dry season in the south, do you? Forgive me for speaking frankly, but besides natural drought, I can't think of any other way you can stimulate bamboo species to flower and bear seeds."

Leizhu said, "There is no fixed dry season in the south, but there are droughts. Mountain Lord Banbu, your method reminds us that the bamboo at the foot of the mountain is not afraid of drought, but the bamboo on the mountain cannot withstand drought. The mountains in our Southwest Region are much higher and more majestic than those in your Eastern Region. The summit of Crimson Crow Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the mountainside is shrouded in clouds, which is a spectacle."

"Oh… so Crimson Crow Mountain is indeed quite high!" Banbu asked, "Lady Leizhu, how often do you have a drought in your Southwest Region?"

Leizhu said, "It's not very stable. Based on experience, the general pattern is a minor drought every three to five years, and a major drought every twenty to thirty years."

"That's not bad." Banbu gently tapped his antennae, carefully choosing his words, and said, "400,000 Origin Stones, Ghost-line Bamboo seeds, and various rare bamboo species seeds… The most difficult thing to refuse is your sincerity!"

Lady Leizhu happily said, "Mountain Lord Banbu agrees?"

Banbu said, "I can't refuse."

… …

Chonglou and Leizhu's group had too many warriors, and each of them was large in size, so Lízhu Peak definitely couldn't accommodate them. The transaction was conducted at the foot of the mountain.

Leizhu brought 300 Ghost-line Bamboo rice.

Banbu also took 300 Golden-thread Bamboo and Colorful Bitter Bamboo seeds each and gave them to them.

The Chonglou trade caravan was going to return directly to their tribe, and they would come again next year. The Amethyst Bamboo rice was not yet mature, so the sales trade was set for the coming spring.

Having obtained 400,000 Origin Stones at once, Banbu naturally spent generously with the trade caravan, purchasing a batch of high-quality Origin Power food for all the members on the mountain.

Rapid growth and evolution can leave hidden dangers, but it is not absolute.

For insect warriors who are particularly wealthy, the trade caravan has a special "Growth Package" prepared. As long as they are willing to spend a lot of money, they can advance rapidly without worry.

Banbu was willing to trade Golden-thread Bamboo and Colorful Bitter Bamboo, and another reason was that the overall strength of Lízhu Peak needed to be improved, and a sum of Origin Stones was indeed needed.

After a pleasant selection, a full 10 spider silk bags of Origin Stones were spent.

Banbu planned for himself and Fengling to advance to L7 Advanced Warriors in the coming spring, and then for himself to advance to L8 Advanced Warrior within the next year. The plan was to advance to Mountain Lord within three years, which was 2 years faster than the normal growth rate, at the cost of spending approximately 150,000 more Origin Stones.

Big Bear is currently the main combat force of Lízhu Peak. Growth at the Mountain Lord level is difficult and slow. Banbu specially spent a lot of money to buy it a set of "Strengthen Strength" and a set of "Strengthen Speed" Origin Power food packages to improve close combat power in a short period of time.

Big Head is currently an L1 Advanced Warrior. He is responsible for too much work. Banbu hopes that he can advance to L4 Advanced Warrior as soon as possible.

Red Rice has good talent and grows quickly. He is currently an L5 Intermediate Warrior and is expected to advance to Advanced Warrior in the coming autumn.

Fragrant Cattail, Belly Bamboo, and Red Rice are a little behind. In any case, they will not be able to advance to Advanced Warrior in a short period of time and will not be able to participate in combat. The seven bamboo rat warriors are timid and cowardly, and may never be able to participate in combat in their lives. Banbu bought them slightly less Origin Power food.

In the land reclamation and expansion at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter this year, the Iron Saber Mountains will also face a crisis, and Flame Cluster Silvergrass living alone at the end of the mountains is a safety issue. Banbu was generous with Origin Stones and bought it five sets of luxury packages in one go, comprehensively strengthening it to help it grow quickly and improve its combat capabilities. Even if it is a direct elder, giving gifts for no reason would have too bad an impact, so the things were delivered secretly in the middle of the night.

The melons produced in the Western Regions are super delicious and affordable.

Banbu also bought 20 small cantaloupes in one go. They were oval, about 13 centimeters long and 6 centimeters in diameter, weighing more than 0.5 kg.

Strengthen Carapace (Bones), standard low quality, the price is super affordable, only 300 Origin Stones per piece, and after eating the melon pulp, there are many melon seeds inside.

Cut one every night, and the members of Lízhu Peak can just finish it.

In addition, you can send a piece down the mountain for that raccoon cat warrior to have a taste.

Probably because the arrival of Chonglou and Leizhu's team last time, with so many Ladies and Advanced Warriors appearing at once, really scared it, and it became even more timid. Now, even if the weakest White Bamboo of Lízhu Peak approaches, it will turn around and run away.

Raccoon cats are small and medium-sized wild animals, located in the middle of the forest food chain. Raccoon cat warriors are only fast at escaping, and their frontal combat is vulnerable.
