Chapter 1273 - 773: Ink Orchid Leader_3

Black Peach reported: "The Great King's Nine-Leaf Huangqian and the White Wax Tree Divine-Given Seed, the Second King's Red Leaf Rain Tree and Er Bai Divine-Given Seed, have all started using the third Primordial Gemstone, and can breakthrough to the Half-Star Realm within five hundred years."

"The Great King's Rift Leaf Orchid King and Elephant Foot King Orchid Divine-Given Seed, as well as the Second King's Zhibai and three Spikemoss Divine-Given Seed, started using the first Primordial Gemstone four hundred years ago and will soon use the second one."

"Following that will be the Great King's Island Banyan and four Spikemoss, as well as the Second King's Green Worm Bean and Yellow Cicada Orchid, with four seeds using subsequently."

Round Cypress followed up the report: "When I visited Chairman Seven-Leaf, he mediated and I acquired nine Primordial Gemstones at a low price of 150 million. I heard they were newly harvested from the Fengyan constellation."

"Oh!"

Ink Orchid's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked: "Is Seven-Leaf doing so well? Can he directly obtain Primordial Gemstones? Should we go directly to him for stones in the future?"

"...Unfortunately, no."

Round Cypress gently shook his tentacle, explaining: "It took quite some effort to obtain these nine gemstones. Seven-Leaf introduced us to a Saint Butterfly Warrior managing affairs at the local White Crystal Chamber of Commerce, explaining our relationship with Golden Creek during our time on the home planet, only then were we granted the stones."

"Oh—"

Ink Orchid tilted his head, inquiring: "Did you inquire any news about the Flash Butterfly Warrior Purple?"

Round Cypress: "Inquired, but no news."

Ink Orchid asked: "Any news of Nupur?"

"Also none."

Round Cypress explained: "On the home planet, Golden Creek's Saint Butterfly Warriors also have ways to endure the long Origin Force Silent Period, and they have already steadily endured many such silent periods."

"There are constant waves of Saint Butterfly Tribe Warriors leaving the home planet, undergoing simple training, then scattering across various star domains of the White Crystal Star System for management duties. Due to the wide distribution, far distances, and busy work, the managerial Saint Butterfly Warriors find it hard to recognize each other."

"I see..."

Ink Orchid shifted his tentacle, "Forget about it. Everyone, let's move inside the hall for discussion."

…

The Xianglan Mountain Commerce Guild, including 100 Little Warriors, assembled completely.

Ink Orchid positioned himself and began the questioning.

"Tree Aralia, what is the Star Marks status? Which department do you plan to join among the Military Department, Plant Department, and Commerce Department?"

Tree Aralia's forehead gleamed with Star Marks, saying, "With Earth, Wood, and Water elements and the Life System as the core, I specialize in geological transformation and plant management. Ink Orchid Leader, I plan to join the Plant Department."

Ink Orchid: "Okay. You will join the third division of the Plant Department, under the Deputy Leader Blue Catalpa...work under Blue Catalpa."

"Understood!"

Tree Aralia agreed.

Ink Orchid lightly shifted his tentacle, "Round Cypress, note it down."

Round Cypress held a stone slab, recording in the unique characters of Xianglan Mountain.

Ink Orchid then looked at White Turmeric, inquiring: "White Turmeric, how are your Star Marks?"

White Turmeric's forehead Star Marks gleamed brightly, saying: "With the 'Wingless' of the Wingless Divine-Given Seed as the core, combining Thunderfire Dual System elemental abilities to condense Star Marks, named 'Little White Turmeric.' Ink Orchid Leader, I follow the pure combat path and will join the Military Department."

Ink Orchid approvingly swayed his tentacle, praising: "Excellent! You have my demeanor! Then White Turmeric, you will join the eighth corps in the Military Department, work under Star Lord Areca."

White Turmeric firmly responded: "Understood!"

Ink Orchid: "Round Cypress, record it."

Round Cypress's claw tip swiftly danced, engraving the record on the stone slab.

Ink Orchid looked toward Wintergreen.

There was no need to ask; it has always been following White Willow and will surely join the Military Department, responsible for reconnaissance, patrol, and sentry duties.

Ink Orchid briefly stated: "Wintergreen will join the Military Department, serve under White Willow Star Lord."

Next, Baja Saguaro also requires no inquiry, being lively and combative since young.

Ink Orchid: "Baja Saguaro will also join the Military Department, serving under Snakebark Maple Star Lord..."

Ink Orchid proceeded to interrogate and verify the work type and arrange positions for 42 warriors progressing to the Star Marks Realm.

He delivered another speech, encouraging those Little Warriors who have not completed the Nine Traces Combined, calming their emotions, reminding them to be patient and not rush.

Nine Traces Combined is the process of selecting core abilities and determining the Path of Origin Force Evolution, directly affecting Star Marks, indirectly influencing the Star Core, and greatly impacting future breakthroughs to the Habitat Realm; it's essential not to hurry.

In emergencies, one can accumulate Primordial Crystals to purchase Chaos Tops for assistance.

"The excavation work in the Azure Star System is not fully completed, with further deep modifications and precise cultivation tasks remaining."

"Zero Level Origin Point, with a rent of 5 million per year, without corresponding returns, it would be a huge loss."

Ink Orchid finally issued instructions:

"All warriors in the Star Marks Realm, except Wintergreen and Sawtooth Oak, no matter which department they joined, should go back, pack, and prepare to travel with me to the Azure Star System for work."

"Yes!"

"Alright!"

"Understood!"

All insects responded.

As a leader, Ink Orchid has the authority to expel insects from the Chamber of Commerce but cannot change their positions.

Round Cypress can.

Round Cypress made a trip to the 1001 district Luoli Chamber of Commerce Branch station, used the star pillar to specify details of positions.

Ink Orchid, finishing the affairs, was escorted by all insects, inspecting the territory.

Finally arriving beneath the Double-Colored Mulberry Tree.

"Double-Colored Mulberry Tree, has the eighteenth Trace been formed?"

"Don't ask."

"When can you likely breakthrough to Half-Star Realm?"

"I don't know."

"Don't you understand your own situation?"

"I'm dumb."

"Admitting is good. I'm heading to the Azure Star System."

"Hmm. Hmm. Hmm."

"This trip, it could be another two to three thousand years before returning."

"Okay. Okay. Okay."

"You should argue less, focus on comprehending your ability, and evolve sooner."

"Oh. Oh. Oh."

The Double-Colored Mulberry Tree impatiently said, "Mantis, you talk too much. Hurry up and leave, don't disturb my cultivation."

"..."

Ink Orchid, too, was lazy to argue, turned and left.

Half a month later,

Round Cypress returned, informed of the Star Spider reservation.

Ink Orchid led the insects to set out.

…

…

Ink Orchid had just left for a couple of days...

"Black Peach!"

"Fragrant Cypress!"

The Double-Colored Mulberry Tree sent a spiritual power call.

"???"

Black Peach lazily sent a questioning spiritual power thought.

The Double-Colored Mulberry Tree asked: "Has Mantis left?"

Black Peach: "Gone."

"Excellent!"

The Double-Colored Mulberry Tree: "I am about to break through. There's a high probability there will be unexpected situations. Prepare a supply of ten million Primordial Crystals."

"???"

"Ten million?"

"Are you sure?"

Black Peach, Fragrant Cypress, and surrounding trees all sent questioning and skeptical spiritual power thoughts.

Er Bai maliciously asked: "Double-Colored Mulberry Tree, what's the situation? Mantis just left..."

The Double-Colored Mulberry Tree calmly replied: "I have been enduring for several dozen years, specially waiting for Mantis to leave before breaking through."

The Double-Colored Mulberry Tree leisurely said: "You are truly foolish. Think about it, if it fails, won't that dead mantis ridicule me endlessly?"

Er Bai: "..."

Three Spikemoss: "Black Peach, Fragrant Cypress, should we lock up the Double-Colored Mulberry Tree?"

The Double-Colored Mulberry Tree angrily snapped: "Who dares! I'll be the first to destroy it after breakthrough!"

"Don't quarrel. Don't quarrel!"

Fragrant Cypress hurriedly mediated, saying: "Don't fight. A breakthrough is serious, not a joke. Double-Colored Mulberry Tree, prepare with peace of mind, I'll go to the 1001 district to exchange Primordial Crystals."

"No need for such trouble!"

Black Peach rallied: "Starry Cloud Cypress, you are fast, quickly run to Saddle Leaf Star, the Second King and others haven't departed yet. Exchange ten million Primordial Crystals returning on your way..."
