Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 706 - 591: Law Divine Tree: Ghost King Sophora_4

That being said, the demand really isn't small~

White Ivy stated: "Divine-Grade Fruit for Divine-Grade Fruit only—no trading for Divine-Given Origin Force Food, and even more so, no purchasing with Source Stones."

White Ivy did a rough calculation, vaguely saying: "I heard that your Red Crow Mountain has a double-digit number of Divine God-Given Seeds? Divine for Divine, in two or three hundred years you should be able to trade for enough."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "Aside from the six top warriors we're training with all our strength, we also need to select twenty-five warriors for focused cultivation: these warriors must awaken at least three system Talents, and condense over twelve Divine Marks." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "In total, thirty-one warriors, who will escort a batch of Wild God-Given Seeds, and leave the Origin Force Star Realm as a group."

White Ivy: "Thirty-one? Then I'm afraid you won't be able to trade for that many Divine-Grade Fruits~"

White Ivy suddenly realized, asked: "Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, did you just say Nine System Talents? Strength System? The Ghost King Grasshopper clan has Strength Talent, but what about the other three clans? How can this be done? Could it be..."

White Ivy slowly turned, gazing down at the Bamboo Sea at the foot of the mountain.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "We do indeed have a Divine-Grade Dragon Bamboo Divine-Given Seed, which grants Strength System Talent—but the blossom-fruit cycle is far too long, the yield too low, and it's barely enough for our clan's own use, let alone with any surplus for trading."

White Ivy reiterated: "Divine for Divine. Only good things can be exchanged for good things. Strength System and Life System talents are equivalent—fair and equal trade."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader shook his tentacles, thought for a moment, then said: "Divine-Grade Dragon Bamboo Fruit isn't entirely off the table—we can discuss it later. Trading a few in small numbers isn't impossible either…"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader suddenly changed the topic, asking: "White Ivy Spider King, you're competing for the Leader position—you should know what the prize is, right?"

White Ivy: "I know—"

White Ivy was taken aback, retorting: "No way! You know too?"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "No need to be surprised. As early as a million years ago, we of Red Crow Mountain were aware of the Shanglu Ancestral Land's existence, and even had some exchanges with them. The Shanglu Ancestral Land—the origin of the Flame Spider clan, the Shanglu Divine Tree, the ancestor of all Flame Spider Roving Merchants, right? This time, the leader election's prize should be the Shanglu Fruit, which grants a spatial ability."

White Ivy: "Ah! Yes—"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "We of the Ghost King Grasshopper clan also possess a Divine Tree just as ancient as the Shanglu Divine Tree, called 'Ghost King Sophora', and its fruit is called 'Ghost King Sophora Seeds'; they're things of the same level as the Divine-Grade Shanglu Fruit."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "The Ghost King Sophora Seeds' blossom-fruit cycle is 39 years, and each harvest yields exactly three thousand seeds: three thousand per batch. After use, you directly condense one Divine Mark and awaken 'Ancestral Divine Power.'"

White Ivy: "!!!"

Directly condense a Divine Mark?

Is it really that magical?

Unheard of!

Ancestral Divine Power?

Is that also an ability?

Your physique…

White Ivy immediately had an idea, and once again scrutinized Dogtooth Violet Great Leader's massive form, silently waiting for what would come next.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader paused, then continued: "White Ivy Spider King, have you ever thought about why our ordinary kin—the common grasshoppers and common flame spiders who have not evolved into Origin Force Life—are so frail and insignificant, falling to the very bottom of the natural food chain? Has it always been this way?"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader raised a claw and pointed at the sunrise on the horizon, saying: "Or is it because, for some reason, the bloodline degenerated, becoming what it is today?"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader then curled his tentacle and pointed at himself, saying: "The 'Ancestral Divine Power' granted by the 'Ghost King Sophora Seeds' is the awakening of our Insect Clan ancestor's bloodline power. The specific effect is to double the physique, double the Primordial Energy reserves, tremendous surges in strength and life force; comprehensive physique, carapace strength, sensory abilities such as vision, smell, touch—all sharply enhanced. Overall, this is a sublimation of the bloodline. Does life evolution have an upper limit? If so, then the greatest potential of the ancestral bloodline lies in raising that limit."

As expected!

What a formidable divine artifact!

White Ivy was mentally energized, testing the waters: "Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, are you saying you want to trade the 'Ghost King Sophora Seeds' with me?"

"Yes!"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "White Ivy Spider King, how many Source Stones do you think the 'Ghost King Sophora Seeds' are worth?"

White Ivy asked: "After using one, you immediately condense a Divine Mark?"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "That's right. The Divine-Grade Shanglu Fruit is the same. Many ten-thousand years ago, some Flame Spider Roving Merchants told us of Red Crow Mountain that this kind of Divine-Given Seed had another name: 'Law Divine Tree'. Origin Force Plants are only divided into three grades: Common Life Seed plants, God-Given Seeds, and Law Divine Tree."

White Ivy: "Law Divine Tree…"

White Ivy said solemnly: "This thing is beyond my scope of experience and knowledge. I don't know how to price it. Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, would you name your price and let me hear it?"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "White Ivy Spider King, what do you think a Divine-Grade Shanglu Fruit is worth in Source Stones?"

White Ivy: "Priceless! It can't be measured in Source Stones."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "To us of Red Crow Mountain, so it is with Ghost King Sophora Seeds as well. Before, we have never traded them outside."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "So—we have another requirement. White Ivy Spider King, information about Red Crow Mountain's Ghost King Sophora must not be made public. The Ghost King Sophora Seeds traded to you must only be used within your caravan, not traded to other insects."

White Ivy: "Naturally! In our caravan, when we trade for good things, our own spiders eat first."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "...That's good then."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "Three hundred million Source Stones."

White Ivy fell silent.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "My trading rules are very simple. We of Red Crow Mountain will also put forth some Divine-Grade Fruits for exchange, and keep track of the price difference on account. Moreover, Red Crow Mountain is a great nation with 120,000 tribe members—necessary expenditures of all kinds are huge. The Divine-Grade Fruits we produce ourselves are insufficient to trade for everything our current plan requires; so, White Ivy Spider King, you'll need to supplement the remainder, with the difference tracked in Source Stones. When the credit reaches 300 million, we'll give you a batch of Ghost King Sophora Seeds."

White Ivy stayed quiet.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader thought for a bit, then raised a claw to his own forehead, saying: "White Ivy Spider King, earlier you tried to use a Soul system ability to peek at me, but were blocked by the carapace. That's but a tiny part of the comprehensive enhancements brought by 'awakening the ancestral bloodline'—the strengthening of the carapace."

White Ivy: "Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, I can accept a price of three hundred million. But honestly, with the Divine-Grade Fruit shares I currently control, and even including surplus shares, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to meet your needs."

White Ivy: "I need to do a comprehensive adjustment to the current Divine-Grade trading, to coordinate on many fronts—this is a very complicated and difficult process. I'll reply to you the year after next, is that acceptable?"

The Divine-Grade Fruits needed just for Talent Granting types in Red Crow Mountain's plan might number over a hundred.

As for other ability-granting Divine-Grade Fruits, the number is even greater—possibly five or six hundred, if not more.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader knew deeply how difficult this would be.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader said sincerely: "White Ivy Spider King, Red Crow Mountain has observed what's on the moon, and after hearing that there's a spider on the continent in control of so many Divine-Grade Fruits, that's why we came up with this unprecedented Divine-Given Seed migration plan. Before meeting you in person, I had no confidence at all. But seeing you and exchanging ideas in person, I see you're a sincere and trustworthy spider."

White Ivy solemnly promised: "Thank you, Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, for your trust. I will do my utmost."

White Ivy paused, then gravely said: "Regarding gathering the Nine System Talents, I've just realized a very serious problem. As far as I know, Divine-Grade Fruits that grant Wind System Talent are gone."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader was taken aback, asking: "White Ivy Spider King—where did your Wind System Talent come from?"

White Ivy: "On the Ten Thousand Nations Continent, a Queen of Termite with a God-Given Life Seed produced the Divine-Grade Winged Gourd. I ate the last batch produced, and they've already left the Origin Force Star Realm, so the Divine-Grade Winged Gourd is now extinct."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "Is that so…"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "There're no others?"

White Ivy: "None found so far. I'll inquire around again."
