Natural God's Gift
#63 - Reaching consensus
The Blood Vine Lords looked at Fourleaf with a hint of difference in their eyes. To be pre-selected as a Spider King candidate at the early stage of a Third Instar Warrior, there were only two possibilities: either Mountain Lord Ziyun was lying to them, or this little spider was a direct descendant of the current Spider King.
They pondered carefully. Did Mountain Lord Ziyun need to deceive them? Probably not, right? Although a God-Given Seed was precious, it wasn't worth risking the reputation of their caravan. Moreover, the Flame Spider Kingdom wasn't far from them. A quick trip over there would reveal some information.
Mountain Lord Ziyun: "Let's get down to business. Does Mountain Lord Yanfu have any other questions about the deal?"
"Yes, I do," Mountain Lord Yanfu questioned the price of 40 million Origin Stones: "I think the price of a God-Given Seed shouldn't be calculated based on five hundred years, but on one thousand years.
Your Flame Spider Kingdom has abundant financial resources and a much higher probability of producing King-level individuals than other tribes, so you can fully utilize the value of the Venus Flytrap God-Given Seed to the fullest extent.
Moreover, God-Given Seeds have the potential to give birth to Divine-grade God-Givens. If our God-Given Venus Flytrap is Divine-grade, we'll suffer a great loss."
Before Mountain Lord Ziyun could speak, Mountain Lord Torch said with great dissatisfaction: "You actually want to calculate the price of a Venus Flytrap God-Given Seed based on the output of one thousand years? Even a Bug King only has a lifespan of one thousand years. Besides, the Bug King has to grow from a weakling. According to your calculation, does our caravan have to give you Origin Stones instead?"
Mountain Lord Yanfu probably also felt that asking for such a price was a bit excessive, and it said with a sheepish smile: "What if this Venus Flytrap is a Divine-grade God-Given Seed? Wouldn't you make a huge profit then?"
Mountain Lord Torch: "Then just treat it as a Divine-grade God-Given and keep it in your tribe for planting, wouldn't that be good? Our caravan will definitely fully support your tribe then."
"Uh…" Mountain Lord Yanfu was speechless. It wasn't that they hadn't considered nurturing the Venus Flytrap into a Life Seed for planting, but the Venus Flytrap was the natural enemy of their Mosquito Clan. If they really planted it, they didn't know how many of their clansmen would be eaten every day. They had also discussed it for a long time before deciding to sell the Venus Flytrap God-Given Seed.
Mountain Lord Hanxiu: "Mountain Lord Ziyun, Mountain Lord Torch, calculating based on a thousand years might be a bit too much, but the price of 40 million Origin Stones for a God-Given Seed is indeed a bit too low. Why don't we meet in the middle and set it at 60 million?"
Mountain Lord Ziyun: "Mountain Lord Hanxiu, 40 million Origin Stones is a price that we calculated accurately based on the experience and data within the kingdom. We wouldn't quote a price without thinking it through.
I believe you should also have calculated the accounts in your mind. If you can't advance to the Bug King, a God-Given Seed might not even reach a profit of 10 million. We've already been very sincere."
The Flower Mosquito Warriors were silent. They had calculated this account more than once. They had started calculating gains and losses after they harvested the God-Given Seed last autumn.
They had also asked the other two large caravans of the same level as the Ziyun Caravan that traded with the Flower Mosquito Tribe for prices. As a result, one caravan offered an even lower price, and the other caravan directly rejected the deal due to the characteristics of the Venus Flytrap.
"40 million Origin Stones…" Mountain Lord Hanxiu looked at Blood Vine Lord, then at Mountain Lord Yanfu and Mountain Lord Jielv, waiting for them to make a decision.
Mountain Lord Jielv: "Mountain Lord Ziyun, we agree to the price of 40 million Origin Stones. Payment can be made in installments over five hundred years, but we also have a small request."
Mountain Lord Ziyun: "What request?"
Mountain Lord Jielv: "I heard you mentioned before about using top-tier Soul-type plant seeds as exchange, so I was wondering if you could also give us two of the plant seeds you mentioned?
This should be possible to cultivate in the Flame Spider Kingdom, right? We guarantee that we only need two as Life Seeds and will never cultivate them privately. I wonder if you can agree to this condition?"
"Impossible!" The three spiders refused at the same time.
Perhaps feeling that their refusal was too harsh, Mountain Lord Ziyun's tone softened a bit: "Mountain Lord Jielv, you may not know how strict our kingdom is in controlling top-tier plants. Ordinary top-tier plants are fine. We also have some in our claws that can be given to Bug Clans with good relationships to nurture into Life Seeds.
However, Soul-type plants have always been strictly controlled by the Original Flame Spider Tribe. Every year, they must uniformly prune the flowers and fruits, leaving only a portion of good fruits for the little warriors to nurture into Life Seeds, and all the remaining seeds must be destroyed.
The whereabouts of each seed must be carefully identified. Even warriors of the Original Flame Spider Tribe can only be given one seed before evolution to nurture into a Life Seed.
If our caravan applies for the seeds, a steward spider from the Original Flame Spider Tribe must personally watch the nurturing of the Life Seed on the spot. If there is even a slight mistake, then all the spiders in my Ziyun Caravan, except for Fourleaf, must commit suicide to apologize to the world.
If we exchange a God-Given Seed for five seeds to be used as Life Seeds, then I can shamelessly ask the steward spider to make a trip.
Spending 40 million Origin Stones and still giving away two top-tier Soul-type plants, let alone the steward spider, I can't even get past my own conscience!"
Hearing Mountain Lord Ziyun's serious words, the mosquitoes present looked at each other. They originally thought that they could get two Soul-type plants by bargaining, but they didn't expect the Flame Spider Kingdom to control Soul-type plants so strictly.
In the end, Blood Vine Lord could only helplessly say: "40 million Origin Stones it is, but Mountain Lord Ziyun, can you give us the two top-tier plants that you just mentioned that are not Soul-type?"
Ziyun thought for a moment: "I currently have top-tier Earth-type plants in my claws. Do you want them?"
Blood Vine Lord: "Don't you have any other attributes?"
Mountain Lord Ziyun: "My own talent is Earth-type, so I usually only carry top-tier Earth-type plants."
"Earth-type is fine," This damn spider, not taking Water-type, not taking Wind-type, not even taking the Wood-type possessed by their affiliated tribes, but taking the Earth-type that is useless to them. This way, even the Origin Power food produced by the Flower Mosquito Tribe can only be sold cheaply to their Flame Spider peddlers. They are simply extremely cunning.
Mountain Lord Ziyun: "Okay, does your tribe have any warriors who have just evolved but haven't yet nurtured a Life Seed? Although the control of top-tier Earth-type plants is not as strict as that of Soul-type plants, I still have to watch it myself."
Blood Vine Lord moved its leg and kicked Mountain Lord Hanxiu. Mountain Lord Hanxiu understood and immediately said: "I'll arrange it!
They had just traded a batch of Origin Power food, so they could arrange for warriors to break through: "Wild Flax, White Cardamom, come with me…"
Mountain Lord Yanfu rubbed its two front feet together: "Mountain Lord Ziyun, what about the God-Given Venus Flytrap? Are you taking it away or leaving it here?"
Mountain Lord Ziyun: "I can weave a Spider Silk Scroll for you first, with the contract between us written on it, and then return to the kingdom for certification at the end of the year."
Spider Silk Scroll? The Flower Mosquito Warriors searched their inherited memories and found that it was a Spider King Silk Scroll that only the Spider King was qualified to issue. Is the one woven by a Mountain Lord credible?
Mountain Lord Jielv: "Um, how about coming to take it at the end of the year? Don't misunderstand, I'm afraid that it's not safe for your caravan to carry a God-Given Seed on your body."
"Okay," Mountain Lord Ziyun agreed readily: "Then we'll come over again at the end of the year. Torch, Green Land, let's go."
"Ah?" Mountain Lord Jielv was dumbfounded: "You haven't given us the top-tier plants yet."
"We'll give them to you at the end-of-year transaction. That'll be more convenient for everyone." What are they thinking about all day long? If the things are given first, and they come over at the end of the year and say that the God-Given Seed is gone, or that it has been planted, wouldn't I be getting two top-tier plants for free?
At this moment, Blood Vine Lord issued an order: "Yanfu, go get the God-Given Venus Flytrap.
Mountain Lord Ziyun, start weaving the Spider Silk Contract!"
How can these bugs who manage territories outsmart the spiders who travel around as merchants?
