Astral Gods

Chapter 47 Intermediate Warrior

King Qingzhu flew to the north of Xiangjiao Island, then flew back from the north of Xiangjiao Island, and went straight to Ziling.

When it arrived, the yew had just finished evolving and emerged from its nest. The purple acacia and purple artemisia cut fruit for it to eat to replenish its energy.

Having advanced from the beginner to the intermediate level, the yew tree has grown considerably, now reaching a size of over 40 centimeters.

Upon seeing the return of the Green Bamboo Armor King, Lord Purple Plum and Purple Pearl's eyes lit up, and they all rushed to greet him.

"King Green Bamboo Armor, did you obtain any top-tier tree species from the Flame Spider Merchant?"

The Green Bamboo King waved its antennae but didn't reply, causing the light in the eyes of the other insects to dim slightly: "Didn't you get it?"

"We haven't obtained the top-grade tree species yet, but I've already made an agreement with the leader of the Hundred Tribes. He'll be coming to the Pingdingshan Trading Plaza in a couple of days. When he does, I'll bring the yew tree there, and he'll give it a gem pomegranate to nurture into a life-giving seed."

"Gem Pomegranate?" The insects were puzzled and searched their inherited memories to see the effects of this tree species.

The Green Bamboo Armor King said, "According to the leaders of the Hundred Tribes, this is a top-tier tree species stored in their Flame Spider Kingdom, used for shell crystallization..."

The Green Bamboo King repeated the words of the hundred leaders, and the eyes of the insects lit up again.

It sounds like this Force food is of comparable quality to some Force foods that strengthen the armor, and Zerg warriors of every age can eat some to reduce the risk of evolution failure.

If this were to be conceived as a divinely granted seed, the divinely granted primal force food it produces would certainly command a very high premium.

"Has the life seed that the 9-year-old yew tree gestated in its early stage been released? Let's leave its life sac empty for a few days, and I'll take it to the trading square to check on it first."

"The life-giving seed, conceived in the early stage of the 9th year, has been released and is waiting for your arrangements."

As it spoke, the yew, having eaten its fill, held the three-lobed snake grape seed in its paw and showed it to the snake grape.

"In that case, let's plant the seed of destiny quickly."

The effect of the three-lobed snake grape is to enhance endurance. There are many tree species with this enhancement effect. Most importantly, it also has a high yield. That's why Lord Purple Plum chose this tree species as the life seed for the initial stage of the 9-year-old stage.

The yew tree carried the seed to its territory to plant it. After a day, the seed began to sprout. On the second and third days, the sprouts slowly grew and gave rise to vines.

On the fourth day, King Qingzhu began to make arrangements: "Zizhu, you have been promoted to mountain lord. Since you also have to protect the life seed, don't go to the trading square this year. Just stay here and guard your and Zishan's life seed."

"Okay." Purple Pearl did not object, since its life seed had been dormant for a year and had not produced anything this year.

Moreover, it had spent all its savings to advance to the Mountain Lord level, and now it doesn't have a single raw stone left.

Moreover, after advancing to the Mountain Lord level, its life seed will have a period of vigorous growth, and until the year after next, the life seed will still not produce primal force food.

King Qingzhu continued, "Zili, let's go to the Pingdingshan Trading Plaza together. After you've incorporated the Zishan Life Pouch into the Life Seed, bring it back."

"no problem."

"Purple Locust, Purple Artemisia, are you staying in Purple Ridge or going to the Trading Square together?"

"We're going to play." Purple Locust and Purple Artemisia flew to the top of Purple Plum Lord's head and lay down, afraid that Purple Plum Lord wouldn't take them.

"Okay, let's go together."

……

Pingdingshan Trading Plaza —

Although the Flame Spider Merchants have not yet arrived, the trade fair has already begun. Zerg warriors from various tribes have entered the trading market, and some impatient smaller tribes have even started setting up stalls in the trading square to sell their tribe's Force food.

When King Qingzhujia arrived with his many insect warriors from Ziling, they found the place bustling with insects.

King Qingzhujia and many of the Zerg warriors from Ziling fell from the sky and flew to the area under the jurisdiction of the Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise Tribe.

At this moment, Lord Qingguo and Lord Huaban of the Hua lineage are maintaining order here, mainly to prevent Zerg warriors from arguing and fighting over price issues.

The Green Bamboo Armor King landed in front of the two lords and asked, "Green Fruit, Spotted Flower, has anything happened these past few days?"

"No, the square is very peaceful."

"With two Insect Kings here, who would dare cause trouble?"

"It's good that nothing bad happened."

Lord Qingguo looked at the yew tree atop King Qingzhu Armor with an inquisitive gaze: "King Qingzhu Armor, has the little warrior's destiny been chosen?"

"Not yet, we'll have to wait for the Flame Spider Merchant to arrive."

"oh."

The yew tree perched atop the Green Bamboo Armor King's head swayed its antennae, cheerfully greeting the two lords: "Lord Green Fruit, Lord Spotted Flower, hello!"

The many Zerg warriors from Ziling, who were still behind the Green Bamboo Armor King, also greeted the two lords.

After exchanging greetings, the Green Bamboo Armor King waved its tentacles at the numerous Zerg warriors and said, "You can go about your business now."

Lord Zili didn't hesitate and said directly, "Then let's get to work."

They also brought a lot of Force food with them, so there's definitely a lot of work to be done now.

After dismissing the numerous rhinoceros beetle warriors, King Qingzhu turned to Lord Qingguo and said, "Qingguo, fly along the coast and see when the Flame Spider Merchant will arrive."

"Alright." Upon receiving the order from King Qingzhu, Lord Qingguo did not hesitate and immediately spread his wings and left Pingdingshan Square, flying north along the coastline.

Not long after, it flew back to report: "The caravan of the Flame Spider Merchants has arrived."

King Qingzhu complained, "This speed is too slow."

However, since it needed the other party's help, it couldn't say anything.

The Flame Spider Merchant's ships sailed into the harbor. The Zerg warriors here had specially invited Zerg warriors with earth elemental talents to build a harbor by the sea, just to make it convenient for the Flame Spider Merchant to dock his ships.

Upon seeing their arrival, the Green Bamboo King was not in a hurry to go forward, because they still had to unload various goods from the ship, and it wouldn't be easy to get these things done in a short time.

There were more than just one or two groups of Flame Spider merchants trading at the trading square. According to the rules of the Flame Spider Kingdom, as long as the trading square is open to the public, no Flame Spider merchant may prevent warriors of their own race from trading there.

As for the private territories of those Zerg tribes, that depends on the abilities and skills of the Flame Spider Merchants.

Therefore, every year, some Flame Spider merchants leave a place to trade and go to other places, and many Flame Spider merchant caravans follow ships to Elephant Banana Island in order to expand their market.

After they had been busy from afternoon until dawn, unloading all the goods their caravan wanted to buy and sell, King Qingzhujia stepped forward and greeted them with a smile: "Leaders of the Hundred Tribes, you have finally arrived."

"King Qingzhu Jia has been waiting for you!"

The leader of the hundred tribes released his spiritual energy and swept it over the head of the Green Bamboo Armor King. He clearly saw the Purple Fir standing above him. He was a little puzzled, feeling that this little warrior looked somewhat familiar.

"Green Bamboo Armor King, is this the junior you've been carefully grooming?"

"Yes." King Qingzhu nodded slightly at the yew tree on his head. "This is a yew tree, and its life sac is still empty."
