Ant Lord in the Star Realm Chapter 672 580: High-Level Divine-Given Seed (Additional Re

Spikemoss: "It's about 5 centiters in diater now."

Dragon Cypress: "Anything else?"

Spikemoss: "Used up so Source Stones."

——So Source Stones?

——The first fruit expansion should cost about 500,000 Source Stones.

——That's actually a bit less than predicted.

Dragon Cypress's thoughts turned, and he beca happy again.

With fruits growing once a year, this being the first expansion, the blossom-fruit cycle shouldn't be too long.

Yield is also one of the core factors determining profit~

The Dominating Throne took off, accelerating toward the King Cypress Divine-Given Seed, hovering near the fruit.

The Divine Grade Spikemoss fruit had indeed expanded a bit.

At the sa ti, the scaly lignified shell was thick and hard, completely isolating spiritual power, making it impossible to sense the condition of the internal seeds.

Ink Orchid, who had been tilting his head in silence for a long ti, asked: "Dragon Cypress, the missing Source Stones, Spikemoss used them again, right?"

Dragon Cypress: "Yes."

Ink Orchid: "So... what do we do?"

Dragon Cypress: "Let's ignore it for now. When I have nothing to do in winter, I'll work hard on transporting them here."

Ink Orchid: "..."

Dragon Cypress: "As long as the Source Stones aren't wasted. Look, in less than three months, it's grown four or five ters taller; the growth wasn't delayed, and after this vigorous growth period, its trunk will have scaled up nicely."

Ink Orchid: "...That's true."

Dragon Cypress's thoughts shifted, and he asked Spikemoss: "Spikemoss, do you have an energy surplus during dayti? Any Primordial Energy surplus at night?"

Spikemoss: "No——"

Dragon Cypress: "Okay. All right then. I won't send over Glinting Gold for now. Save on Source Stones; I'll bring you more when I can. There's a lot going on this year, only have ti in the winter."

Spikemoss: "Okay——"

...

Ink Orchid began working, searching for Divine-Given Seeds.

Dragon Cypress went to check the growth status of the Elephant Foot King Orchid Divine-Given Seed.

At present, the five rounds of division growth were complete. All 243 clones had matured, forming a small grove of Elephant Foot King Orchids around the mother plant.

There were flower buds erging from the crown.

Ordinary Bayonets usually bloom in late autumn.

The Elephant Foot King Orchid Divine-Given Seed's flowering period cos earlier; it should bloom in sumr, and will produce a special thick branch for blooming and fruiting, forming a large cluster with many flowers, bearing many fruits.

The yield will definitely not be low.

The fruit quality, blossom-fruit cycle, and other key yield factors of the Elephant Foot King Orchid Divine-Given Seed are yet to be verified.

Judging by its state and scale, it can basically be considered top-level.

...

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid lingered in the Areca Rainforest for three days, then continued onward.

They quickly completed their search of the Cloud Trace Continent, then proceeded into the Wanglan Continent.

They also made a round of Fragrant Silk Island and Swinging Leaf Island.

No gains.

They continued onward to the Thousand Reefs Archipelago...

A new round of grand war was about to erupt between Wave Tree Bay and Blue Island. As active participants in war, the Forest Beard Bee Kingdom once again dispatched a large number of Combat Professional Bees to join the battle. As a result, the hive's control over the near-shore islands fell off sharply.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid could act as they pleased for several years again.

They quickly completed a search of 2,000 square kiloters of offshore islands not under Forest Beard Bee Kingdom's control.

No result.

Ink Orchid glanced at Dragon Cypress.

Dragon Cypress instantly understood its aning.

The Dominating Throne dove underwater, cruising westward below the sea.

By late afternoon, they reached a large near-shore island with a Forest Beard Bee sub-nest.

About 70 kiloters from the mainland, with an area of over 300 square kiloters, in the three sub-nests only fewer than 5,000 Worker Bees remained.

The main crops grown on the island were peach trees, mulberry trees, pear trees, loquat trees, and other sweet fruit-bearing trees, making it an island dedicated to supplying food for the kingdom.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid hid under the sea, waiting patiently.

Late at night, they quietly approached the island, Ink Orchid concealing himself, landing stealthily.

Before long,

Dragon Cypress, half-subrged at the coast, sensed sothing and activated his Soul-Setting Ability, locking onto Ink Orchid's location.

Ink Orchid: "Great King, co quickly! Divine-Given Seed!"

Dragon Cypress: "!!!"

Dragon Cypress: "Second King, you're amazing!"

——After so many years, finally found another Divine-Given Seed.

After the excitent, Dragon Cypress quickly cald down, carefully distinguishing the sensation, and asked doubtfully: "Ink Orchid, isn't that where we picked up the Rift Leaf Orchid King seed last ti?"

Ink Orchid: "Yes. And what I've found is another nearly ripe Rift Leaf Orchid King Divine-Given Fruit. There's no Insect Guard nearby, which ans no insects want it, which ans it's ours!"

——Oh!

——Great!

Dragon Cypress: "On my way!"

Dragon Cypress put away the Dominating Throne, walked on water, landed on the island, held his breath, and hurried towards Ink Orchid's location.

Passing through the orchard, he arrived at a hillside.

Terraced fields had been neatly cultivated, with Rift Leaf Orchid Kings interplanted with Fey Oil Fruit trees, filling the whole slope.

Ink Orchid concealed himself under a cluster of Bayonet trees.

At the treetops, clusters of fruits were turning yellow; so had already reached the harvest season but went uncollected by insects, their shells splitting open naturally, fruits dropping to the ground.

Wanglan Seeds are a type of dry fruit, tasteless, astringent, and poisonous. Forest Beard Bees don't eat them. The main reason for large-scale planting is to search for Divine-Given Seeds. The Assistant King of Forest Beard Bee Kingdom had gone off to fight at Wave Tree Bay, so there were no insects managing the area this year.

When Ink Orchid saw Dragon Cypress arrive, he raised his claw and pointed gently upward.

Among the large clusters of Wanglan Fruit above, on one branch, only a single solitary green fruit remained, emitting a faint Origin Force Fluctuation.

Undoubtedly a Divine-Given Seed.

Moreover, judging by the Origin Force aura, it should be tal System.

The preliminary judgnt: the strengthening effect of Rift Leaf Orchid King is comprehensive tal System Ability enhancent.

Not bad at all!

Ink Orchid couldn't hide his excitent, but was also a bit worried, and asked: "Dragon Cypress, what now? Do we guard it?"

Dragon Cypress shifted slightly, looked toward the river gully at the foot of the hill, and said: "I'll stay and keep watch. I can lurk in the river below. If any Worker Bees approach, I'll play it by ear. The best way is to use the Hallucination Ability of the Mottled Remnant Realm to confuse Worker Bees and hide the Divine-Given Fruit on the tree."

Ink Orchid: "King-level Worker Bees! Will it work?"

Dragon Cypress: "Not sure. But there's no better solution."

Dragon Cypress: "The Bee Clan's sense of sll is just as keen as the Ant Clan's. Ink Orchid, you can't stay on the island too long, or you'll leave your scent and arouse suspicion. Go to the northern sea, lie low and wait for . Don't hide too far; stay within Soul-Setting Ability perception range. Keep in touch at all tis."

Ink Orchid tilted his head in thought, then agreed: "Seems there's no better way..."
