Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 710 - 593 Little Ink Orchid

On the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent, the five most respected Steward Spider Kings of the Flame Spider Kingdom come to the Ten Thousand Nations Continent every three or five years to connect with the Snow Velvet Spider King.

...

Silver Cypress Year 31, Spring.

Rednan Mountain, Trade Cave.

This year, Ink Orchid also came to join the fun.

After exchanging greetings.

The Snow Velvet Spider King had important matters to discuss with the five Spider Kings, so Red Peach, Dragon Cypress, and Ink Orchid withdrew for the time being.

After the discussions concluded, Heliotrope left in a hurry.

Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, and Red Peach returned to the cave one after another.

Dragon Cypress was the first to ask: "Red Peach, last year, White Ivy Spider King should have gone to Red Crow Mountain to talk with that Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, right?"

Red Peach: "Yes." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Dragon Cypress: "So what was the result?"

Red Peach: "In initial negotiations, the Dogtooth Violet Great Leader was unwilling to promise an exchange of their share of Ghost King Sophora Seeds, only agreeing that there would be at least two portions. Red Crow Mountain itself has as many as fourteen Divine God-Given Seeds. They mainly use Divine-Grade Fruits to exchange for Divine-Grade items with the Flame Spider Caravan, and only use Ghost King Sophora Seeds to make up the difference in case of a shortfall, which isn't much, and they're not willing to trade more."

"..."

Fourteen Divine-Grade seeds—Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid instantly lost their tempers upon hearing this.

The Snow Velvet Spider King asked: "Can you estimate how much is still lacking now? Two portions of Ghost King Sophora Seeds is six hundred million, are you sure it will cover the deficit?"

Red Peach: "There are still many uncertainties; this account can't be settled yet."

Red Peach: "At Red Crow Mountain, by accident, a Divine God-Given Seed was nurtured into a Life Seed; the Little Warrior has just advanced to Advanced Evolution. Their plan at Red Crow Mountain was only formally confirmed and implemented the year before last, and they selected the best from their High-Level Warriors and young Mountain Lord-Level Warriors."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Only just begun? Then there's more room to maneuver!"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "For a Mountain Lord-Level Warrior to evolve into Insect King, even with sufficient resources, the process takes at least 120 years. According to the requirements for cultivating top-level warriors, condensing Divine Mark at the King-Level stage, each age period will require at least 20 years to start with. This deal will last for more than 300 years; the longer the timeline, the more opportunities there will be."

Red Peach: "Yes. White Ivy Spider King and I have also calculated the time. After this deal is done, we'll pretty much be leaving the Origin Force Star Realm."

The Snow Velvet Spider King said happily: "I'll consume all the Life-Extending Divine Goods I have, and I'll be able to endure another three hundred years."

Dragon Cypress: "Then Ink Orchid and I..."

Ink Orchid asked: "With the Divine-Grade Baihe Fruit and Divine-Grade Molan Seed that Dragon Cypress and I possess, are we still unable to exchange for even a single portion of the Ghost King Sophora Seeds?"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Can't be done—"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Isn't Red Crow Mountain going to escort a large number of Wild God-Given Seeds out of the Origin Force Star Realm this time? Wouldn't it be possible to consider adding some more? Blue Island has..."

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid simultaneously shook their tentacles.

Dragon Cypress: "Ink Orchid and I also want to take a few more Wild God-Given Seeds when we leave; once in the Outworld, we'll have more confidence."

The Snow Velvet Spider King was taken aback, saying: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid Lord, then what will you use to trade?"

Dragon Cypress: "In the future, the Divine-Given Seeds that Ink Orchid and I collect will definitely have a surplus. Snow Velvet Spider King, can Divine-Given Seeds be taken away?"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "..."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "I don't know. I've never heard of any insect trying such a thing."

Red Peach: "..."

Red Peach: "I'm a Mantis Warrior, and I don't even have a single Divine-Given Seed. I have even less understanding of this."

Ink Orchid: "We could try with an Insect King who has left."

"..."

The Snow Velvet Spider King and Red Peach were speechless: Could Divine-Given Seeds really be tested this way?

Red Peach turned around, took a Spider Silk Bag from the Stone Slab Wheelcart, stuffed it over, "Lord Ink Orchid, the Divine-Grade Fruit with Fire Talent that you needed."

"Excellent! Thank you for the trouble, Red Peach. Please thank White Ivy Spider King for me!"

Ink Orchid was delighted, checked it over, and asked: "I heard Red Crow Mountain also has a Divine-Grade item that grants Strength Talent? Could you get it?"

Red Peach: "It can be done! But Divine-Grade Dragon Bamboo Fruit has never been traded externally before. In negotiations last year, the price couldn't be settled—the Red Crow Mountain side asked for too much. White Ivy Spider King's idea is, after a few more years, when everyone is more familiar and trusts each other, then we'll negotiate this matter."

Red Peach: "Red Crow Mountain's plan to cultivate Super Warriors this time doesn't just involve a huge number of Divine-Grade Fruits, but also an enormous amount of Divine-Given Origin Force Food; the total resource consumption, converted to Source Stones, exceeds fifteen billion. They're also racking their brains, doing everything they can to maximize kingdom profits."

Ink Orchid understood: the item could be acquired, but the price will be very high.

"The price isn't an issue..."

Ink Orchid said, lacking confidence, and asked again: "Red Peach, in these years, has Lord White Ivy found any new Divine-Grade Fruit to extend life span?"

Red Peach: "Coincidentally, yes!"

Red Peach: "Still from Red Crow Mountain, still a Bamboo Fruit—a uniquely cultivated variant in their kingdom, named Holy Bamboo, with Divine-Grade Holy Bamboo Fruit. Its life-extending effect is similar to Divine-Grade Baihe Fruit, but even better. One can eat three fruits: the first will extend life by sixty years, the second by forty, the third by twenty—altogether, it can extend life by one hundred and twenty years. At present, it's known as one of the best life-extending Divine Goods."

Ink Orchid: "Oh——"

Ink Orchid: "In that case, our Xianglan Mountain Kingdom must definitely exchange for several more portions. Dragon Cypress and I can now stay another one hundred and twenty years in the Origin Force Star Realm!"

—That is, we can at most stay another eight hundred and ten years in the Origin Force Star Realm?

—Calculating like this, it's still not enough for the current Assistant Kings~

Ink Orchid pressed: "Red Peach, is there more?"

Red Peach: "...There's no more."

Ink Orchid looked at the Snow Velvet Spider King, "Snow Velvet Spider King, is there only one kind of life-extending Divine Good in the Southern Hemisphere?"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "I only know of one."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "You two are considering that, if Divine-Given Seeds can't be taken out, then you'll stay in the Origin Force Star Realm for a few hundred more years, collect as many Divine-Given Seeds as possible, and exchange them for Ghost King Sophora Seeds?"

Ink Orchid: "...Something like that."
