Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 754 - 607: Airflow Barrier_3

Such a valuable thing, should we give it a try?

Red Peach replied rather reluctantly, "Alright—"

If it weren't for King Cypress, Dragon Cypress definitely wouldn't have considered this direction.

With a Law Divine Tree in hand, Dragon Cypress was full of confidence.

Dragon Cypress: "Red Peach, don't worry. If it succeeds and you need it, I'll bring good things to exchange."

Exchange? Good things?

Red Peach, Heliotrope, and Chasing Wind's eyes all sparkled with excitement.

Red Peach probed, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, that Blessed Seed from your lord stage at age six..."

Everyone knew that with every age stage of evolution for Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, the Life Seed had to be a Divine-Given Seed.

The Life Seed for the sixth age period had never been revealed.

Dragon Cypress vaguely said, "It's a really powerful one. I'll tell you when the time comes if you need it!"

—Divine Grade!

With things said to this level, Red Peach, Heliotrope, and Chasing Wind were one hundred percent certain—it's another Divine Grade one.

They'd never mentioned it, surely because their clan in Xianglan Mountain had been using it themselves. Now that they've had their fill, they're planning to use it for trades.

Surprised and envious, they couldn't help but marvel: What incredible luck!

Dragon Cypress switched topics and asked, "Your Dulai Flame Spider Tribe's leader selection is almost over, right? The White Ivy Spider King? That's a sure win, isn't it?"

Heliotrope: "Yes—"

Chasing Wind: "The White Ivy Spider King is far in the lead!"

Dragon Cypress immediately followed up, "Then the Wujia Fruit produced by the Divine-Grade Wujia Wood Blessed Seed…"

Red Peach: "Don't worry, Dragon Cypress Ant King, you and Ink Orchid Lord will definitely get your share arranged."

Heliotrope: "..."

Heliotrope quickly shifted the topic and asked, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, since you've advanced to Insect King, do you want to adjust the allocation of Life Seed Plant shares?"

Dragon Cypress: "Let's discuss that in a few years. First, I'm letting the plants rest from blooming and fruiting, nurturing the trees for three years. Then it'll take another five to six years for the Divine-Given Fruit to ripen in succession—so it'll be eight or nine years from now."

With Dragon Cypress's promotion to Insect King (not counting King Cypress), that's a total of 19 God-Given Life Seeds, generating extremely impressive returns.

Azure produces a Divine-Given Azure Fruit with quality beyond the King Level, powerful enhancement, and hyped reputation, causing its price to skyrocket—the annual yield could reach over 800,000, rivaling top-level Divine-Given Seeds.

Southern Gorgon splits fivefold, with an annual yield around 550,000.

Red Cypress also yields over 800,000 a year.

Black Yellow is a bit lower, about 300,000.

Little Wild Chestnut is around 250,000.

Round Leaf Keg Vine is about 800,000.

Thunder Oak evolved to King Level, and based on this spring's budding, its flower count improved, compensating a bit for its previous weakness in yield—returns may surpass 500,000.

Two Kings Ink Orchid is still poor, with annual returns under 150,000.

North Elm is about 400,000.

Purple Poppet is about 250,000.

Zihuang Peach is about 400,000.

Multi-seed Blue Ice Cypress can reach 450,000.

Nine-Leaf Huangqian is extremely lucrative, exceeding 1,000,000—currently Dragon Cypress's best top-level Divine-Given Seed.

White Wax Tree is about 500,000.

Elephant Foot King Orchid is about 700,000.

Rift Leaf Orchid King splits robustly, with super-high yield, also reaching 500,000.

Island Banyan is average, at around 400,000.

Four Spikemoss is about 800,000.

The annual returns for the Divine White Berberry Divine Seed are just over 1,000,000.

Dragon Cypress also has 25 Superior Common Life Seeds, yielding about 600,000 per year.

After advancing to King Level, Dragon Cypress's territory has an average annual profit of around 11,000,000.

Dragon Cypress is currently the Insect King with the highest annual earnings in the Origin Force Star Realm, and is the most important trading partner and one of the largest profit sources for Seven-Leaf, Melde, and the White Ivy Trade Caravan.

Dragon Cypress: "No big changes are needed to the previously set Divine-Given Origin Force Food share. Mainly, after your Dulai Flame Spider Tribe's leader contest ends and Lupine and Grass Dragon go independent as traders, inheriting White Ivy Spider King's Origin Force Honey trade, I should allocate some shares to support their new caravans."

"Yay~"

Chasing Wind cheered, "I'll thank you on behalf of Lupine Spider King, Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Dragon Cypress looked at Red Peach and asked, "White Ivy's Divine-Given Origin Force Food share won't be needed anymore? Should I transfer it to Lupine and Grass Dragon?"

Red Peach: "We'll need a few specialty, delicious Ant King Honeys. Like, Azure Ant King Honey, Scarletlight Ant King Honey, Sky Blue Persimmon Ant King Honey, Royal Peach Ant King Honey, Black Cory Ant King Honey, and so on. The focus is on flavor—White Ivy Spider King uses them as gifts when visiting important Insect Kings."

Dragon Cypress: "Then I won't cut into Seven-Leaf and Melde's existing shares to subsidize Lupine and Grass Dragon."

Red Peach: "We'll follow Dragon Cypress Ant King's arrangement."

"Okay—"

Dragon Cypress called out, "Let's do our trade."

With Dragon Cypress's Life Seed plants resting from blooming and fruiting, the Divine-Given Origin Force Food available on Cloud Trace Continent for sale has dropped by nearly half.

In recent years, the trading volume has been relatively small, and Fragrant Cypress and Black Sophora have been handling it.

Dragon Cypress himself returned to Xianglan Mountain, slipped into the King Nest, and first consumed a Divine-Grade Wind-Knowing Fruit…

...

After two days, he successfully comprehended the abilities Wind-Knowing and Airflow Barrier.

...

Dragon Cypress's Wind System abilities were now quite diverse. In addition to regular Airflow Control, he now had Wind Wings, Whirlwind, Wind-Knowing, Wind Split, and Airflow Barrier—five abilities.

The abilities were pretty well-rounded, covering flight, offense, and defense.

Dragon Cypress shifted to his bee-clan flying form, spent half a month raising a batch of Wind System Air Soldiers and Flying Ants.

The Air Soldiers were stationed permanently at Zilian Mountain and Rednan Mountain for reconnaissance work—if any external threat invaded, they'd immediately fly back to Xianglan Mountain to report.

The Flying Ants could also help with orchard harvesting tasks.

Dragon Cypress produced a small batch as a test. He wouldn't mass-produce Wind System ants until he formally strengthened the Wind System and condensed the Wind System Divine Mark.

...

Zilian Mountain's Large Soldier Ants and Specialized Soldier Ants had now emerged via Feather Transformation—but as expected, they didn't inherit the Adaptive Evolution ability.

Only when Dragon Cypress adapted and evolved himself to gain bloodline-level resistance or morphological shifts could he transmit them downward to the ant colony.
