Astral Gods

These divinely bestowed foods were only for experimental purposes; the quantity was limited, and the price was secondary.

After all, yew is only at the intermediate stage now, so it's impossible for it to produce in large quantities.

What they really value is another kind of Force food production.

The male yew mulberry trees bloom in March, and Snow Grass King has been pollinating the little soldiers' seedlings since then.

However, the fruit on the tree did not ripen until the following spring, meaning that the fruit was gestating on the tree for a full ten months.

If it's this difficult to produce fruit in the intermediate stage, they guess that by the time they reach the advanced stage, it might take two years before a batch of fruit is produced.

This matter concerns the pollination quality of male mulberry trees, and it happens to be springtime when everyone is back.

King Qingzhu and several lords came to inspect the pollination of the male flowers of the intermediate divine-given seed onto ordinary life-sustaining plants.

After arriving here, they first tasted the many divinely bestowed foods produced by the Yew Life Seed, and couldn't help but praise them.

The divinely bestowed primal energy foods produced by the Yew Seedlings are all in great demand by the tribe. Even disregarding the cost of delivery, they can aid the warriors' evolution and growth within the tribe itself.

Therefore, apart from the direct ancestors of the yew clan and a few lords, the Green Bamboo King strictly forbade the news from spreading to other insects.

Actually, this was a minor matter. What troubled Lord Zili and the others was the life seed that Yew was nurturing.

The divinely bestowed seed of the red cherry was more difficult to cultivate than expected, and Yew and Artemisia had to send a large amount of primal force into the life sac every day.

Even so, with the entire winter almost over, the seed of life within the yew's life sac still showed no signs of maturing.

Originally, the plan was to accelerate Zishan's evolution at a rate of one age every three months after it was promoted to intermediate warrior, but now it seems that the time will have to be delayed.

King Qingzhu said worriedly, "Purple Plum, the Purple Fir is growing too slowly. If you don't have enough raw stones, we'll give you some as a subsidy."

"Yes, yes, just say how many raw stones you need!" The other lords were also very polite.

After tasting the various products of the yew tree, the lords were very excited, especially after eating the divinely bestowed green soul kiwi fruit. They felt that their previously somewhat rigid souls began to come alive.

When the soul becomes strong, both memory and the ability to think can be rapidly improved.

Many things that are usually hard to grasp become relatively easier to think about. They are already somewhat impatient to eat more of the soul-based divine power food.

"It's not a problem with the raw stone, or rather, the raw stone is only one aspect of the problem."

Their life seeds also help absorb the primal force, but the life seeds in the life sac have a daily saturation point. Once the saturation point is reached, there must be a transformation process before they can be absorbed the next day.

It now seems that the yew tree takes a particularly long time to nurture the divinely bestowed seed.

Lord Zili calculated that, including the natural primal force absorbed by the various life forms of the two insects, they consumed at least three thousand primal stones of primal force every day, and had consumed more than three hundred thousand primal stones in more than a hundred days.

Apart from the life-seeds that were bearing fruit, the other life-seeds had all contributed some primal force to the yew trees, thus slowing down their evolutionary process.

It never imagined that nurturing a life seed would consume so many raw stones; the yew's life sac repeatedly shattered its understanding.

The Green Bamboo Armor King swayed its tentacles, full of anticipation: "I wonder what the effect will be after the Red Heart Cherry Divine Seed is enhanced through multiple layers?"

It knew about the divine-grade, divinely bestowed seed, even more than Lord Zili and the others.

However, the more it knows, the clearer its own position becomes; it knows that divine seeds are not so easy to obtain.

Only one divine-grade divine-given seed can be produced out of 100,000 divine-given seeds. For a small tribe like theirs to obtain one is no less difficult than having a divine gift of law fall from the sky and hit an insect on the head.

However, it felt that after being strengthened again by the Yew Life Pouch, the Red Heart Cherry Divine Gift Seed should also be extraordinary. It couldn't possibly remain unchanged after being strengthened again, could it?

Just as they were chatting, Snow Grass King led his swarm to pick all the mulberries produced by the little warrior's seed.

"King Green Bamboo and Lord Purple Plum, the little warriors have already picked all the mulberries produced by their seedlings."

Because I was worried that too many fruits would delay production, last year I only planted 10,000 fruits on each of the mulberry trees for the little soldiers. Therefore, this year there are a total of 15 little soldiers bearing mulberries.

Including wild mulberry trees blessed by God, and female mulberry trees native to the yew tree itself, a total of 44 seedlings were pollinated with male flowers.

It then added, "There are also many mulberries, more than eight thousand bunches!"

Before the insects were eight sacks full of mulberries. Even just standing in front of these spider silk sacks, one could feel the sweet fragrance and life force emanating from them.

After taking a few deep breaths and savoring the sweet fragrance of the mulberries, the lords turned their expectant gazes toward King Qingzhujia.

As a Lord-level Zerg warrior, I can naturally determine the value of Force food, but with the leader here, this is something that the leader should definitely do.

King Qingzhu picked up a bunch of mulberries and popped them into his mouth to taste. After a while, he carefully quoted a price: "The energy ratio of these mulberries has reached 1:2.1, which is considered divinely bestowed. However, since the quality is still somewhat low, I suggest a price of 0.2 raw stones per mulberry!"

Upon hearing King Qingzhu's words, the lords took out a bunch of mulberries to taste, then waved their tentacles, tacitly accepting his offer.

"Yay!" Upon hearing the offer from the Green Bamboo Armor King, the Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Golden Turtle warriors present immediately showed expressions of ecstasy, and the little warriors were so excited that they spun around on the spot.

A single mulberry is worth 0.2 raw stones, which is equivalent to a tenfold increase in price.

A rough calculation shows that 40 mulberries are worth 8 raw stones. To achieve such a large return at the intermediate stage is something that even the most top-tier divine seeds cannot accomplish.

After a brief moment of excitement, the lords regained their composure. After all, 80,000 raw stones weren't much to them; they were simply happy about the value of the yield.

The Green Bamboo King waved its tentacles to quiet everyone down: "Quiet, everyone be quiet."

King Qingzhu looked at Lord Zili: "Zili, 80,000 raw stones is not a lot, but 80,000 every year is quite a lot for a young warrior."

So, could you please consider how to allocate this batch of output appropriately? Ideally, it should be done in a way that satisfies everyone.

Lord Purple Plum pondered for a moment. This was indeed a problem, but it had already made arrangements for it.

It directly summoned the little warriors who had nurtured the mulberry seeds together.

Adhering to the principle of prioritizing supply to meet internal demand, Xuecao Zuowang used male flowers to pollinate the life-giving seeds of the young warriors of the Double-Forked Rhinoceros Golden Beetle tribe. These young warriors included those from Ziling, Daqingfeng, and Hualing.

With the addition of the three brothers, the number of little warriors reached 18. Everyone looked expectantly at Lord Purple Plum, wanting to see how it would distribute the output.

Lord Zili didn't waste any words and said directly, "In addition to the male flowers of the yew god-given seed being pollinated, the life seeds of the other little warriors have undoubtedly contributed as well. Therefore, I have made the following arrangements."

"The mulberries produced by the young soldiers after pollination by the male flowers, regardless of quantity or price, are shared equally with the yew trees."

"Not only now, but also in the future, if any young soldiers need the divine male flower to pollinate their seedlings, the profits will be split 50/50 with the yew."

"As for the mulberry pulp, let's all share it!"

In fact, doing so would harm the interests of the yew trees, because the three brothers could have easily produced 20 mulberry seedlings and provided male flowers for internal recycling.

Even if two male mulberry trees take turns pollinating, it can supply all the needs of the species, so there is no need to share half of the profits to take care of the young warriors of the same race.

But it seems inappropriate to say that the tribe has invested so much in you and you don't give back to the tribe at all, especially since Lord Zili has his own plans and considerations.

"Thank you, Lord Zili."

"Long live Lord Zili!"

The young soldiers cheered. Each life seed produced 1 mulberries, and two or three life seeds of each species produced fruit, meaning that each insect could get 2 to 3 primal stones.
