Chapter 1323 - 789: Just a Little Stronger Than Night Fragrance

Sheep Hoof Armor Star System.

Potato Leaf Star.

With dazzling colors flickering, the Radiant Throne carried Ink Orchid, and the Dragon Cypress insects traveled through space, landing directly under the Short-Handled Horn Tree.

"The Great King has returned!"

"The Second King has returned!"

"Bicolor Mulberry! I am back!"

Rainbow Mulberry projected spiritual power, transforming into a long string of afterimages, drifting under the Double-Colored Mulberry Tree.

"Bicolor Mulberry, during this journey, I ate 231 Divine-Grade Fruits and gained 222 new abilities..."

"Fool! How unambitious! Just for eating a few Divine-Grade Fruits, look how happy you are."

"..."

"I ask you, this time traveling far, any particularly new, interesting things or sights?"

"Of course! You won't believe it! While we were visiting the Yiwei Xiang Star Domain in the Chaos Star System, we encountered insects from the home planet's southern hemisphere..."

Only Rainbow Mulberry could talk nicely with Bicolor Mulberry.

Rainbow Mulberry, delighted, shared with Bicolor Mulberry all the experiences and sights from this distant journey.

Meanwhile,

inside the Short-Handled Horn Tree, the hibernating Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Cypress, Rainbow Parasol Tree, Black Sophora, Black Peach, Sky patrol Green Heart, and the nearby White Ivy, Purple Three Leaf, Starry Cloud Cypress insects in a cave were awakened.

After greeting each other,

Ink Orchid eagerly inquired: "Round Cypress, during our absence, how many Divine-Given Seeds did we harvest?"

Round Cypress: "The quantity is a bit low, 6 seeds..."

"6 seeds? Over two thousand years?"

Ink Orchid tilted its head, sternly questioning: "Why is it so little? Is it because both Dragon Cypress and I were not around, and the lazy Nebula Citrus slacked off?"

"Probably, not, right?"

Round Cypress hurriedly reported: "Ink Orchid Leader, although the quantity is a bit low, the quality is exceptionally high! Two are top-level Divine-Given Seeds! One Golden Rain Tree Divine-Given Seed, one Frost Birch Divine-Given Seed! Additionally, we also harvested one Dual Superior Divine-Given Seed..."

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid Leader, Great Leader Redwood from Huagi Mountain heard the news, it wants to buy the Frost Birch Divine-Given Seed for 7 billion primordial crystals, I did not agree!"

Fragrant Cypress immediately added: "Great Leader Redwood also enlisted Chairman White Ivy as an intermediary, persistently negotiating with me, proposing to exchange a Five Eyes Six Passes Bodhi Tree Divine-Given Seed with us, with an additional compensation of a Horned Dock Grass Divine-Given Seed valued at 500 million primordial crystals."

"I thought this deal could be made, so I agreed."

"Then, the Horned Dock Grass Divine-Given Seed was bought by Chairman White Ivy for 500 million."

Round Cypress: "Here on Potato Leaf Star, indeed a Flame Spider Little Soldier was born. Chairman White Ivy used the Horned Dock Grass Divine-Given Seed as its Life Seed, the little creature is also named 'Horned Dock'."

Black Peach reported: "Five hundred years ago, the Five Eyes Six Passes Bodhi Divine-Given Seed is already at the peak of Mountain Lord Level, about to break through to Lord-Level."

Ink Orchid tilted its head to look at Dragon Cypress, asking: "No loss, right?"

"No loss. Small gain."

Dragon Cypress was not pleased, solemnly said: "Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, in the future, be mindful to keep secret about the Divine-Given Seeds we produce. Not only from Huagi Mountain, but do not easily inform the insects from the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce either, and definitely do not trade."

"Understood."

"Got it, Great King."

Round Cypress and Fragrant Cypress agreed.

Poison Bean: "..."

Darnel: "..."

Poison Bean: "Darnel! We aren't welcome here! Let's go!"

Darnel: "Alright—"

After walking a couple of steps, seeing no one paid attention, Poison Bean ran back, standing by Ink Orchid.

Ink Orchid asked puzzledly: "Ant, why? Didn't we make a profit?"

Dragon Cypress concisely said: "Under the Universe Law, all Divine-Given Seeds are manifestations of the Universe Law, gifts from the Natural True God. Divine-Given Seeds are the darlings of the universe, spirits of nature, they are high-level intelligent life, do not trade them lightly."

"We, as intelligent beings, as a Level 4 God Clan civilization, should always maintain a necessary reverence towards the universe and nature. We cannot control other insects, but taking proper care of ourselves should be no problem."

"Oh—"

"Sounds reasonable~!"

Ink Orchid nodded its antennae, half-understanding.

Dragon Cypress asked: "Round Cypress, is the third interstellar trade route opened?"

"Yes!"

Round Cypress reported: "Three hundred years ago, Chairman White Ivy and Red Peach successively broke through to the Planet Realm. After purchasing a Sky Blue 42 type Star Spider, with the Chamber of Commerce number Sky Blue No. 3, they started the third trade route. Since the time is still short, and the first-level star systems on the trade route are not wealthy, the additional profits have been relatively limited."

Fragrant Cypress reported: "Currently, our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce, annually shares a profit of 7.5 to 8 million, with some fluctuations. As the trade grows larger, the profits also fluctuate more."

"Very good! That's enough. Chairman White Ivy is quite capable!"

Dragon Cypress felt delighted.

Round Cypress continued reporting: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, during your absence, the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce has birthed two Flame Spider Little Soldiers, and one named 'Violet', already at the Nine Traces Realm. With the population growth of the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce, Chairman White Ivy intends to speed up the opening of the fourth interstellar trade route, thus plans to borrow 10 billion from us to purchase a Star Spider."

Fragrant Cypress: "We discussed this with King Cypress, who decided to agree to Chairman White Ivy's request. Simply using the profits from the territories of the Great King and the Second King, plus the dividends from the chamber, we lend Chairman White Ivy 10 million annually, enough to gather 10 billion for them over a thousand years."

"Hmm—"

"That's right."

"This money can be lent."

Dragon Cypress lightly nodded its antennae in agreement and asked: "So the primordial gemstones for the Wild Divine-Given Seeds will have to slow down a bit?"

Round Cypress: "Yes, Great King. However, overall, it won't delay their breakthrough to the Half Star Realm."

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid also have 40 Wild Divine-Given Seeds, requiring a total of 120 Primordial Gemstones.

Calculated at a starting price of 1.5 billion each, it would require 180 billion, with actual costs exceeding 200 billion.
