"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"Snow Velvet Spider King!"

Exchange greetings.

The Snow Velvet Spider King symbolically asked, "What about Ghost King Woonyoung and Red Peach Mantis King?"

Heliotrope: "Ghost King Woonyoung bid farewell and left. Red Peach escorted it, but did not return..."

Fragrant Cypress: "Great King, Ghost King Woonyoung asked me to relay to you that 7 Divine-Grade Dragon Bamboo Fruits will be delivered next spring as scheduled."

Heliotrope followed up: "The Seven-Leaf Spider King will arrive in a few days, and the Divine-Grade Fruit that grants Soul System Talent will be delivered on time."

"Good——"

Dragon Cypress nodded solemnly and then gently waved its tentacle, indicating everyone to continue with their tasks.

The Snow Velvet Spider King mainly engaged in an equal exchange of Divine-Grade Fruit with White Ivy and also supplied Divine-Grade Fruit to Red Crow Mountain to accumulate the exchange quota of 3 billion Source Stones for Ghost King Sophora Seeds.

After waiting for most of the day, Red Peach finally arrived, pulling a stone slab wheelcart, rumbling along.

Exchanging brief greetings.

The transaction was swiftly completed, and the Snow Velvet Spider King returned to Red Banyan Mountain with 1 billion Source Stones in hand and bade farewell.

Meanwhile, Dragon Cypress began the transport of Source Stones to the Purple Tung Insect Nation ahead of schedule.

...

Ten days later, the transport was complete.

At this point, caravans from various paths had also gradually arrived at the trading square.

Red Peach was busy pulling the stone slab wheelcart, transporting Origin Force food.

Heliotrope, Fragrant Cypress, and Black Sophora were busy counting goods, verifying prices, and tallying totals...

Dragon Cypress also returned to the Trade Cave at Rednan Mountain, and upon a closer look, was instantly startled.

In the Starship Passage, perched atop the mountain of Spider Silk Bags lay two Little Flame Spiders, appearing just recently evolved into mid-level warriors.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Fragrant Cypress and Black Sophora greeted.

"Cicada Seed, Blue Pea, come over quickly and meet the Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Heliotrope turned around to greet them, vigorously waving its front legs, signaling them to come over.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King..."

"Greetings, Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, please take care of us..."

The two Little Flame Spiders ran over, climbing eagerly.

Heliotrope introduced, "This one is Cicada Seed, a direct descendant of the Lupine Spider King, born three years ago, currently a one age period mid-level warrior. This one is Blue Pea, born four years ago, also from the Lupine Spider King Caravan, a direct descendant of the Winged Fruit Lord."

So Lupine finally has a direct descendant?

"Hello——" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Dragon Cypress responded gently, with a kindly tone, sighing lightly, "It's been years since I came here for trading; are Lupine and Grass Dragon all right?"

Blue Pea: "Lupine Spider King is doing well."

Cicada Seed: "Grass Dragon Spider King is still as annoying as ever."

"Respect your elders."

Heliotrope tapped Cicada Seed on the head with a claw, saying, "Grass Dragon Spider King is never serious, always teasing the little warriors for fun."

"Hey~ Hey~"

Dragon Cypress lightly waved its tentacle signaling, "Black Sophora, return to the Ant Nest and prepare two small gifts for the little fellows."

Turning back, Dragon Cypress then asked, "Little Cicada Seed, what about Melde? You should ask Spider King Melde to discipline Grass Dragon."

Cicada Seed replied earnestly, "Melde is not effective; it needs White Ivy to do the job. White Ivy Spider King will chase after Grass Dragon to hit it."

——Ha~ Ha~

Dragon Cypress was speechless.

Grass Dragon is the same age as me, soon to be a 261-year-old spider. Still getting beaten?

That scene is unimaginable...

Dragon Cypress further asked, "Column Spotted, what age period lord now?"

Blue Pea and Cicada Seed both looked at Heliotrope in confusion.

Heliotrope: "Column Spotted evolved into a four age period lord seven years ago, I suppose soon it will be five age periods. Its evolution is rather slow; I guess it's waiting for Divine-Grade Fruit."

Blue Pea said, "I heard last year, a Flame Spider Warrior named 'Poison Bean' was also born in the lineage of Column Spotted Lord?"

Dragon Cypress: "Hmm?"

Poison Bean?

The name?

The Flame Spider Roving Merchant is among the most particular tribe, with a name featuring 'poison', future transactions with insects might be affected, right?

Dragon Cypress: "What kind of name did Column Spotted come up with? That guy is similar to Grass Dragon in nature."

Cicada Seed explained, "The name was chosen by Grass Dragon, saying it should align with me and Blue Pea, but couldn't find distinctly characteristic bean plant anymore."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Not only Melde and White Ivy, but even Dragon Cypress wanted to beat Grass Dragon to death.

Cicada Seed's eyes glowed with hopeful radiance, somewhat shyly asking, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, I've heard from Column Spotted that when a Little Warrior visits you, there's a portion of Blessed Seed as a gift?"

Dragon Cypress: "...That's correct."

Dragon Cypress: "Precisely, there's a portion of Blood Oranges Blessed Seed that hasn't been allocated yet, Cicada Seed, Blue Pea, you each take fifty percent. When you both evolve into Mountain Lords and start independent trade journeys officially, I will arrange further provisions for you."

Dragon Cypress suddenly felt nostalgic and asked about the status of Natsumi, Silvergrass, and Chasing Wind.

Natsumi and Silvergrass have both become Spider Kings, independently leading caravans on roving trades.

Of the five spider kings Dragon Cypress first met, the last one, Wormwood Spider King, is planning retirement, fast in about ten years, slow maybe twenty years will step down...

Nowadays, Melde, White Ivy, and Seven-Leaf have become venerable Old Spider Kings, their juniors' juniors also have juniors now.

Dragon Cypress is also a venerable Old Ant King.

Everyone collaborates, gradually expanding business.

Currently, every year Xianglan Mountain processes Origin Force Honey worth over 70 million Source Stones for the Flame Spider Caravan.

Moreover, on the Cloud Trace Continent, annual sales of ordinary Origin Force food, Divine-Given Origin Force food, and Divine-Grade Fruits exceed 30 million on average.

Every spring, there's trade exchanges exceeding a total value of over a billion.

...

Red Peach hauled a heavily loaded stone slab wheelcart and dashed over.

After chatting with Red Peach for some time, Dragon Cypress sent Red Peach, Cicada Seed, and Blue Pea away, finding Heliotrope to speak alone.

Unleashing the Nightfall Ability, erecting a barrier to isolate spiritual power.

Heliotrope unlocked the Spider Silk Rope on its carapace and handed over the Spider Silk Bag.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, the gift that grants Soul System Talent."

"Good!"

Dragon Cypress opened it and after a simple glance, put it away, pondering, and then asked:

"Heliotrope, did the Seven-Leaf Spider King mention how many it plans to exchange for the next batch?"
