Astral Cockroach

Banbu used metal to make a metal square basin 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and 1 meter deep. He fixed it on his carapace, prepared nutritious soil, sowed the Iron Gall Chestnut sapling, and set off on the road carrying it.

He sowed the sapling in the "flower pot", watered it appropriately, and new buds sprouted that evening, growing towards the sunlight the next morning.

Before gouging out the sapling, the Tree Spirit drained all the nutrients from the still-living original tree, so the sapling retained some plant vitality, its condition many times better than the original Nine-Leaf Red Lotus.

Under the sunlight, the growth and changes were visible to the naked eye. In just one morning, the seedling reached a height of 20 centimeters, with 6 leaves unfurled, efficiently absorbing light energy and natural Origin Power.

In the soil of the flower pot, the changes were even more rapid. In just half a day, the sapling completely degenerated and disappeared, replaced by roots growing wildly, covering the entire flower pot.

Under normal circumstances, the root system of a tree should have a coordinated ratio of one-to-one with the size of the plant above ground.

The unique feature of the Iron Gall Chestnut is that its root system is exceptionally developed, about 3 times the size of the above-ground tree. All nutrients are also concentrated in the roots, a characteristic it shares with bamboo and the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus.

… …

After preparing the nutritious soil, one bag of remnants was used up. The remaining 9 bags were handed over to Xiangfei and several warriors to carry and transport. Medium-sized spider silk bags were used, and after being dispersed, each person's load was about 100 kilograms.

Big Bear and Rat King followed him back to Li Bamboo Peak. They were preparing to advance to the level of County Lord-level warriors. After completing the advancement, Big Bear would remain at Li Bamboo Peak to guard the mountain gate. Rat King's decision would depend on the situation.

Thunder Bamboo Ghost King followed, personally carrying 5 bags of Origin Stone, to conveniently replenish Origin Power for the Iron Gall Chestnut anytime, anywhere. However, after the chestnut plant grew to a height of 1 meter and branched out a few twigs, it stopped growing, and less than one bag of the carried Origin Stone was used up.

The timeline of the Iron Gall Chestnut Tree Spirit seemed particularly long. If it fainted for 3 days, it would say it had just happened. When talking about the past, it suddenly felt unwell and became depressed. Banbu thought it would pass quickly, but he didn't expect that this guy would be immersed in the pain of the past all the way, feeling depressed and not interested in communicating at all.

It wasn't until Li Bamboo Peak that the situation suddenly improved.

"Banbu, your Li Bamboo Peak is not good! It's far worse than Red Crow Mountain."

"There's not much space left at Li Bamboo Peak. I will arrange for you to go to a better place."

"There's no space? Ah! Narrow Butterfly Warrior? What's wrong with your Li Bamboo Peak? It has all sorts of things."

"It is the Hibiscus Butterfly King, from Red Crow Mountain. Li Bamboo Peak is being harassed by the Northern Wilderness Beast Clan, so I invited it to come over temporarily to help."

Banbu explained to the Iron Gall Chestnut Tree Spirit.

At the same time, the Hibiscus Butterfly King had already flashed down from the mountain to the trading square, its gaze successively attracted by the Thunder Bamboo Ghost King and the chestnut seedling carried on Banbu's carapace.

"Thunder Bamboo, why did you come here?"

"'Divine Grade' God-given Seed? It sprouted! This is not a new plant... Ruins..."

Thunder Bamboo Ghost King quickly explained: "That's right, found in the Scarlet Firmament Continent, a chestnut-like 'Divine Grade' God-given Seed that condensed a sapling and fortunately survived, enhancing metal abilities."

"This... blessings of the Natural True God! I hope there are more Divine Grades surviving in the desolate continent." The Hibiscus Butterfly King's forehead Tianmu glowed, locking onto the Tree Spirit, constantly looking at it, marveling endlessly, and then discovering the anomaly, suddenly realizing, and said: "Its root system is unusually developed!"

"Yes." Banbu asked: "Hibiscus Butterfly King, where is Lotus Mist Ghost King?"

"The Divine Grade God-given Seed of the Giant Dragon Bamboo God is bearing fruit, and it is helping to guard the bamboo forest." The Hibiscus Butterfly King touched its antennae lightly and asked: "You really know how to think of ways, carrying it back like this. Where do you plan to plant it? Li Bamboo Peak is filled with all sorts of things, it can't accommodate it, right?"

Banbu said: "By the lake, to accompany the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus."

The Hibiscus Butterfly King had been stationed at Li Bamboo Peak for a year and had long noticed the existence of the Tata Tree and the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus. It usually liked to chat with the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus Tree Spirit a few times, touching its antennae and said: "A very good arrangement."

At this time, Camellia, Red Rice, Firethorn, Crown Pear, and Cattail arrived at the trading square one after another after hearing the news, greeting each other.

After a simple arrangement, Banbu first carried the Iron Gall Chestnut to the lake.

"Nine-Leaf Red Lotus, how have you been these years?" Banbu greeted.

"I'm fine. Banbu, what are you carrying on your carapace?" Nine-Leaf Red Lotus asked.

From a distance, the Iron Gall Chestnut could feel the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus's communication, but its soul was weak and it couldn't transmit its thoughts yet. It was a little anxious and asked: "Banbu, is it the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus?"

"Yes." While Banbu responded, he explained to the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus: "It's called Iron Gall Chestnut, from the Scarlet Firmament Continent. Like you, it has struggled to survive to this day in an environment depleted of Origin Power."

"Oh... then it must have a unique ability to survive." Nine-Leaf Red Lotus wasn't very interested, without a hint of sympathy or mutual appreciation, casually reminding: "Chestnut tree? You plant it on the south side, chestnut trees like sunshine, it needs a place with sunshine morning and evening."

"Thank you for the reminder."

A long string of warriors had long followed behind Banbu, eager to try. After obtaining the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus's consent, they immediately began to take action.

Iron Gall Chestnut was still very sensitive and said: "Banbu, the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus doesn't seem to like me?"

Unlike the untamed nature of other God-given Seed Tree Spirits, the Tree Spirit of the "Divine Grade" God-given Seed was no different from a normal intelligent life, even smarter, and would not reject or hate other intelligent lives for no reason.

The emotions of the Iron Gall Chestnut Tree Spirit were filled with a strong, unresolvable loneliness and unwillingness to be lonely, as well as a fear of loneliness.

"Nine-Leaf Red Lotus doesn't like to communicate." Banbu comforted: "Iron Gall Tree Spirit, I will come over often to accompany you when I have time, chat with you, and also teach you knowledge you haven't encountered before."

"Oh, okay, Banbu, I think the greatest joy of life lies in communication. How can you feel that you are still alive if you don't communicate with other lives? I think the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus should have a more positive and optimistic attitude towards life." The Iron Gall Chestnut said a very philosophical passage, and then complained:

"Banbu, this place is not good! The Origin Power abundance is seriously insufficient, even worse than Li Bamboo Peak! It can't compare to Red Crow Mountain at all."

I shouldn't have brought this guy near Red Crow Mountain. Banbu had a headache and comforted: "Don't worry, Li Bamboo Peak is very rich, with a huge reserve of Origin Stone. If Origin Power is insufficient, warriors will help you replenish it in time."

… …

The selected site was 100 meters from the lakeside.

First, a large pit with a diameter of 30 meters needed to be dug.

The dug-out soil was mixed with the Iron Gall Chestnut's own root remnants that were brought back, mixed with swamp residue, wood ash, sawdust, and a small amount of Boundary Tree remnants and Oak Tree remnants, and mixed into nutritious soil for backfilling.

Thunder Bamboo Ghost King and Lotus Mist Ghost King, who had heard the news, both followed to help.

Especially Thunder Bamboo Ghost King was the most enthusiastic, using earth and stone abilities to change the soil texture and structure, making it more suitable for Iron Gall Chestnut to grow.

The original not-so-small transplanting project was completed in half a day with everyone busy.

At this time, Banbu unloaded the "flower pot" from his carapace, and the metal manipulation ability was activated, flying into the pit.

Thunder Bamboo Ghost King followed by activating the earth and stone ability, transforming the metal that made up the "flower pot" into loose soil.

Iron Gall Chestnut began to stretch its roots, absorb nutrients, and enter the rapid growth mode for the second time.

Perfect planting!

At this time, Oil Camellia and Camellia also took the Little Ant King Wedge Thorn on a tour around Li Bamboo Peak and came to the lakeside.

Oil Camellia said helplessly: "Banbu, the aura rejection between ant colonies is too strong, the worker ants under Big Head instinctively hate Wedge Thorn... and this poor little worker ant."

The only remaining little worker ant of the Wedge Thorn ant colony was still alive.

Wedge Thorn itself was strange and speculated: "Banbu, I feel that it is because it has eaten a little Blue Blood Apricot or Flower Snake Fruit."

"Yes." Banbu touched its antennae and said: "Li Bamboo Peak is quite wealthy. In the future, when you develop your ant colony, you can give important worker ants Origin Power food produced by the God-given Seed."

Banbu thought for a while and added: "You can also ask Cattail for some Bee King Honey to cultivate a few particularly powerful combat soldier ants."

Wedge Thorn wasn't very familiar with Bee King Honey and looked at Oil Camellia in confusion.

Oil Camellia said: "When the God-given Seed blooms, the bees collect the nectar and brew it into Bee King Honey, which is used to feed bee and ant larvae to cultivate particularly powerful combat worker bees and combat soldier ants."

"Oh! That's amazing!" Wedge Thorn was pleasantly surprised. Its ant-like nature made it particularly interested in combat and combat power.

Banbu instructed: "Camellia, Oil Camellia, Red Rice, and Rat King, you guys follow along too. Let's set off now, first go to Misty Mountain and settle Wedge Thorn down."
