"Barberry. Can you confirm the number of flowers and fruits now?"
"Yes! I can now bloom 15 flowers and bear 15 fruits."
"What about the flower and fruit cycle? Has it been shortened? How many years is it approximately?"
"I don't know that."
"What about the life-extending effect of the fruit? Has it been enhanced?"
"I won't know until the fruit bears fruit."
"Okay. How is your recovery going?"
< br>"It has recovered a long time ago."
"Can you try to bear fruit next year? I will arrange for juniper to be fertilized with life-type force ant honey leaves to reduce your burden."
"Yes..."
...
The life-extending magic product is quite special. It can be promoted to the king level through breakthroughs. There are three improvement directions: fruit quantity, life-extending effect, and flower-fruit cycle.
The number of fruits jumped from 9 to 15, which is a very large increase.
As a rule, if the quantity is greatly improved, the quality will not be improved, and the life-extending effect may not be increased.
As for the flower and fruit cycle, Longbai estimates that it should be shortened from 16 years to 11 years.
Early flowering and early fruit setting, there is enough time to produce two batches of fruits before migrating to the southern hemisphere.
......
Long Bai summoned the warriors of the Barley Worm tribe and held a small celebration banquet in the Purple Linden Worm Kingdom to celebrate his successful promotion to the Worm King.
Finished,
The spruce and cedar trees were left behind, and the wisteria returned to Douglas Hill to take charge of the autumn harvest.
Long Bai took Mo Lan west to the Cedar Mountain to branch out, and hurried along the divine barrier. Along the way, he began to use the animals and plants on the road to exercise and refine his abilities.
The round beads produced by refining are officially named 'Lianzhu'. The animals are milky white, named 'White Lianzhu'; the plants are light blue, named 'Blue Lianzhu'; those produced by refining ordinary force food The original energy refining beads are referred to as 'original beads', and the refining beads produced by refining the God-given original energy food are named 'Ant King Beads'.
Long Bai and Mo Lan walked and wandered back to Xianglan Mountain.
After half a year, Longbai's ordinary plants gradually completed the transitional evolution and were successfully promoted to the king level.
At this point, Long Bai has completely completed the evolution of the insect king.
Ordinary Life Seeds are made from ordinary plants, conceived in a Life Capsule, and their life levels rise to become Force Plants. They initially derive souls after evolving to the king level, but they are not yet conscious.
When encountering an emergency or needing to migrate, Long Bai and Zuo Wang can control them to condense the heart of the tree through soul fetters.
......
Large-scale ants of various king levels were born.
The divine power of the ancestors acted on the bloodline and was passed on to the ant colony. As expected, the body length of the large ants reached 1.2 to 1.5 meters.
Soldier ants of the strength type are the strongest, and large king-level soldier ants can reach about 1.5 meters in length.
After repeated tests, the basic physical fitness of all ants has doubled along with Long Bai. The most important thing is that the body's original energy storage has doubled.
Today's blue ants have two abilities to refine food: one is the old-fashioned way of refining food into thick liquid ant honey; the other is to activate the complete refining ability to make food into refined food. beads.
Ant honey is sweet and delicious, and can bring more than three million yuan in raw stone trading and processing income to the kingdom every year.
The taste of Lianzhu is light, and the energy and nutrients are highly concentrated. It is easier to store and transport, and is suitable for rapid recovery during marches and battles.
The changes in the blue ants are quite ideal.
For other ants, the king-level level has not changed much. They have basically inherited Long Bai's abilities in various systems smoothly, and the ratio of ability strength has not changed much.
......
Long Bai had nothing else to do at the moment, so he continued walking south along the divine barrier alone. Along the way, he randomly selected the animals and plants he encountered to exercise his refining abilities.
Finally, we came to Zizhuang Mountain and entered the sea. From the deep sea, we specially selected large fish to catch and refine them.
The ‘White Refining Pearls’ produced during the practice of refining abilities were not wasted. They were collected and sent back to the Fanglan Mountain Ice Cellar for storage.
The work of producing ant eggs in the Throne of Ruler cannot be stopped, and the dragon cypress is placed in separate nests in Zizhuang Mountain to cultivate. First cultivate a group of specialized soldier ants, blue soldiers, and green soldiers, and gradually increase Xiangshanlan's combat power to the king level.
In late autumn,
in a separate nest in Zizhuang Mountain, four micro soldier ants for testing emerged.
The body shape of these micro ants is close to the body shape optimized by Long Cypress to 'adapt to evolution'.
Sent into the Force vacuum environment to try, they can survive.
Intuitive verification shows that Wang Baizi’s ‘adaptive evolution’ is indeed a change at the bloodline level and can be passed on to the ant colony.
But the ‘adaptive evolution mark’ cannot be seen on the bodies of these miniature soldier ants.
Preliminary judgment is that the ants cultivated by the Dominion Throne, like the ants and bees cultivated by the regular ant queen and bee queen, cannot inherit the divine pattern, but can only inherit part of the power of the divine pattern's ability.
Moreover, there are some types of divine pattern abilities that cannot be inherited at all.
For example, Blue Soldiers cannot inherit the abilities of Sea Beast Devouring and Long Bai Plan’s Vortex Beast Devouring.
Long Bai now needs to know whether the ants cultivated by the Dominion Throne can inherit some of their 'adaptive evolution' abilities, and whether they can also optimize their shedding according to the environment.
If it works, it would be outrageous.
If not, then Long Bai will have to pay attention to his own shape when cultivating ant colonies in the future.
When cultivating specialized soldier ants and green soldiers, they need to be adjusted to a body shape that is good at fighting in mountains and jungles.
When cultivating specialized blue soldiers, they need to be adjusted to a body shape that is good at amphibious combat.
The micronized soldier ants are too small to carry out ability tests. We need to wait for the emergence of large soldier ants and specialized soldier ants before they can be verified, which will take some time.
……
Late autumn,
Long Bai and Mo Lan continued their business as usual, traveling around the continent in search of God-given seeds.
In winter,
Longbai went fishing alone in tropical waters, practicing hard to refine his abilities, and at the same time becoming deeply familiar with the marine environment.
In the sub-nest of Zizhuang Mountain, small and medium-sized soldier ants emerged one after another, and there were no 'divine patterns' visible on their carapace.
The body length of the medium-sized soldier ants reached about 60 centimeters. Long Bai tried to command them to activate their 'adaptive evolution' ability and shed their shells to change their body shape.
It's impossible to do it at all. We don't have this ability.
Medium-sized ants are not available, and large and specialized ants are also suspended.
There is a high probability that the ant colony can enjoy the evolutionary effects brought about by Long Bai's 'adaptive evolution', but it will not inherit the ability to adapt to evolution at all.
……
Silver Cypress 75 years old.
spring.
Long Bai deliberately shed his shell once to adjust his body shape into a bloated and strong one, and then went to Hongnan Mountain to trade in the cave.
"Longbai Ant King?"
Heliotrope greeted, questioning, and shocked.
Zhui Feng struggled to ask: "Longbai Ant King, your size... a divine fruit?"
Long Bai explained vaguely: "The divine fruit of the southern hemisphere is very durable in storage. The Edelweiss Spider King sent it to me several years before it evolved. I kept it frozen until I evolved and used it."
Long Bai : "A divine product that strengthens strength, doubles the size and strength."
Heliotrope said in amazement: "A rare power type! It is definitely one of the top divine fruits in the mainland!"
>Hong Tao knew the secrets of the Divine Law Tree and the Ghost King Huaizi. Without saying much, he cleverly asked: "Long Bai Ant King, can he pass it on to the ant colony?"
Long Bai: "Yes!"< br>
Long Bai waved his tentacles and greeted: "Let's talk about the deal first..."
Zhui Feng recovered from the shock, neatly untied the spider silk rope on his back, and stuffed a spider silk bag Come over.
"Longbai Ant King, this is the divine Zhifeng Fruit entrusted by the Feng Ming Spider King to Nan Di, and Nan Di entrusted me to deliver it. I heard that this was a long time ago, and the Feng Ming Spider King sent it The promised share."
"Okay! The Fengai Spider King is interested, Zhui Feng, thank you for me."
Long Bai took it, opened it, looked at it, and handed it over. To Black Sophora japonica.
Xiangbai called to the worker ants, dragged the spider silk bag forward, and opened it. Inside was the Spider King's letter.
3 million rough stones, counted and settled on site.
“Thank you Long Bai Ant King!”
Zhui Feng thanked him sonorously.
For the first time, Zhu Sheng personally operated the divine fruit trade and completed the task simply.
Chai Feng couldn't help but be happy.
Hongtao also handed over a bag of spider silk and said solemnly: "Longbai Ant King, Baiwei Spider King prepared the divine Butterfly Beard Fruit for you! It gives a wind defense ability, named 'Air Wall' compresses local air to flow at high speed to form a defense. The price is not expensive, 2 million raw stones."
A wind defense ability similar to Spruce's innate ability "Wind Curtain".
"Okay! Thank Bai Wei Spider King for me!"
Long Bai took it and checked it, then turned around and handed it to Hei Huai.
Xiangbai stepped forward to pay.
Long Bai evolves to the king level, and has to eat all kinds of magical fruits that give abilities. The caravan only sent two this year...
Long Bai took the initiative and said: "Preliminary It is confirmed that after evolving to the king level, each batch of divine barberry fruit will produce 15 fruits, which means the output will be increased to 5 parts. One copy each. I’ll keep one for myself here in Yunji Continent.”
Heliotrope immediately cheered: “Thank you, Long Bai Ant King!”
Long Bai: "In the past, was the Zeqi Spider King's share of the white barberry fruits given to Yu Dou and Cao Long? Let Bai Wei and Luo Li discuss how to share it. In the future, Yunji Continent will have enough to keep for themselves. I won’t use this portion, so I’ll give it to Bai Wei and Luo Li.”
Hong Tao said happily: “Thank you, Long Bai Ant King!”
Long Bai then asked: "Hongtao, I remember that the White Spider King can get a magical fruit that gives the ability of 'planaria'?"
Hongtao: "Yes! Pretty good water detection ability. In itself. The price is relatively cheap, but because Baiwei Spider King recycles it from other spider kings, the price is 3.2 million rough stones. Does Long Bai Ant King need it?"
Long Bai: "Of course. ! Take one.”
Hong Tao buried his head in calculation and said: "The next batch of fruits should be mature and harvested in 6 years. If you make an appointment in advance, you should be able to get them. They will arrive in the spring in 7 years..."
Long Bai: "Okay. !”
Long Bai added: “I am planning to condense the water divine patterns, and I need all the divine fruits with water abilities! Hongtao, Heliotrope, Zhui Feng, you go back and tell the spider kings. Please help me look around. Regardless of the type, I want it. The price is negotiable.”
“I know. .”
"No problem!"
Hongtao, Heliotrope, and Zhuifeng agreed.
Long Bai: "Hong Tao, there is one more thing."
Hong Tao: "Long Bai Ant King, please speak."
Long Bai: "Send one more Come here and give it to Cui Bai.”
As soon as these words came out, Hong Tao, Heliotrope, and Zhui Feng felt their hearts sink.
The most enjoyable thing about trading with Yunji Continent is that you can directly purchase divine fruits at the price of raw stones.
The invisible rights and status improvements brought by the divine fruit are too great.
The divine fruits purchased from the rough stones can still be freely used.
The Flame Spider Caravan, which has a share of divine fruits at its disposal, is popular wherever it goes.
Over the past hundred years, the caravans trading with Yunji Continent have grown rapidly.
Previously, when caravans purchased divine items, all they had to pay was to provide the divine items needed by Long Bai and Mo Lan.
This is very simple. Two worms, how many can they eat at most?
But if the twelve assistant kings are included...
The first to suffer is the White Spider King who specializes in trading divine fruits~
Hong Tao asked: "Can King Longbai Ant King and King Zuo also use the divine fruit that gives elemental talents?"
Longbai: "Conventionally, the King Zuo cultivated by the ant queen and queen bee is also said to be Yes, but it is extremely difficult. First of all, the probability of success will be reduced by half. I will buy one and give it a try."
Such an expensive thing?
Hongtao reluctantly agreed: "Okay -"
If it weren't for Dawang Bai, Long Bai would definitely not consider this direction.
Mastering a divine tree of laws, Long Bai is full of confidence.
Long Bai: "Hongtao, don't worry, if it works out, I will give you good things in exchange if necessary."
Exchange? nice one?
The eyes of Hong Tao, Heliotrope, and Zhui Feng lit up.
Hongtao tried his hand: "Longbai Ant King, the god-given seed when you were a 6-year-old lord..."
Everyone knows that at each stage of evolution, Long Bai and Mo Lan must have seeds given by God as their destiny seeds.
The fate of the 6-year-old has never been revealed.
Long Bai said vaguely: "It's a very powerful tree. I will tell you when needed!"
——Divine grade!
Having said this, Hongtao, Heliotrope and Zhuifeng are 100% certain that it is another divine tree.
He never said it, but they must be eating it inside the Pandan Mountain. Now they have almost eaten enough, and they plan to trade it.
Besides the pleasant surprise, Yan Yan sighed with emotion: Isn’t this such good luck?
Long Bai changed the topic and asked: "Is the selection of the leader of your Watase Flame Spider almost over? Baiwei Spider King? You don't have to run away, right?"
Heliotrope: "Yes——"
Zhui Feng: "The White Spider King is far ahead!"
Long Bai followed up and asked: "The eleuthero fruit produced from the god-given seeds of the divine eleuthero tree..."
Hong Tao: "Don't worry, King Longbai Ant, I will definitely give it to you and Mo." It was arranged by Lord Lan."
Heliotrope: "..."
Hediotrope quickly changed the subject and asked: "Longbai Ant King, you have been promoted to insect king and ordered to plant plants. Do we need to adjust the share distribution?”
Long Bai: “Let’s talk about it in a few years. I’ll take off the flowers and fruits first, and cultivate the tree for three years, and then it will take another five to six years. God will give it to me. The fruits are beginning to mature, and it will take eight or nine years.”
The Dragon Cypress was promoted to the Insect King. Not counting the King Cypress, there were a total of 19 God-given Destiny Seeds, which produced extremely considerable profits.
Zhanlan produces god-given blue fruits that surpass king-level quality. They have strong strengthening effects and gimmick bonuses. The unit price has skyrocketed, and the annual income can reach more than 800,000, which is not inferior to the top god-given seeds.
Nanqian is a five-fold ramification plant, and its annual income can reach about 550,000.
Hongjun’s annual income can also reach more than 800,000 yuan.
The difference between black and yellow is probably around 300,000.
Small Yunmu is about 250,000.
There are approximately 800,000 vines in the population.
Quercus Leigang has evolved to the king level. Judging from the flower buds that have grown this spring, the number of blooms has improved significantly. The shortcomings in production can be slightly supplemented, and the revenue is expected to exceed 500,000.
The second king, Mo Lan, is still not good, with an annual income of less than 150,000.
Beikuiyu is about 400,000.
Barberry is about 250,000.
The Purple Emperor Peach is about 400,000.
Multi-seeded blue ice cypress can reach 450,000.
Nine-leaf yellow skewer has a very high income, which can exceed 1 million. It is currently the best top-level god-given seed under the name of Long Cypress.
Ash trees are about 500,000.
There are approximately 700,000 elephant-footed king orchids.
The split-leaf king orchid has strong ramets and a super high yield, which can reach 500,000.
Daorong is relatively average, about 400,000.
The Siwang Cypress is about 800,000.
The average annual income from the divine seed of the divine white barberry is probably over 1 million.
There are also 25 super-excellent ordinary species of cypress trees, which also generate an annual income of about 600,000 yuan.
Promoted to the king level, the average annual income of Long Bai's territory is about 11 million.
Long Bai is definitely the insect king with the highest annual income in the Force Star Realm today. He is currently the most important trading partner and one of the largest sources of income for the Qi Ye, Luo Qi, and Bai Wei caravans.
Long Bai: "There is no need to make major adjustments to the share of God-given force food determined in the early stage. The main reason is that after the leader selection event of your Watase Flame Spider tribe is over, Yuzu and Caolong will do business independently. , and I want to inherit the White Spider King’s Force Honey trade, I have to consider arranging some shares for them to support the development of the two new caravans.”
“Okay~”
Zhui Feng cheered, "I thank Long Bai Ant King on behalf of Lu Bean Spider King!"
Long Bai looked at Hong Tao and asked: "You don't want Bai Wei's share of the god-given force food? Transfer it to Yu Beans and grass dragons?”
Hong Tao: “We need some distinctive and delicious ant king honey, such as azure ant king honey, crimson ant king honey, and azure persimmon ant king honey. King honey, black ant king honey, etc. are first of all delicious, and are given as gifts when the White Spider King visits some important insect kings."
Long Bai: "Then I won't start with Qi Ye and Luo Chen. Lu Dou and Grass Dragon were deducted from their share.”
Heart Tao: “Listen to the arrangement of Long Bai Ant King.”
"Okay -"
Longbai greeted: "Let's trade."
Longbai's life-changing plants stopped flowering and fruiting, and the number of God-given force foods sold on Yunji Continent decreased. Nearly half.
The transaction volume in these years is relatively small, and cedar and black locust are dealt with.
Long Bai himself returned to Xianglan Mountain, dove into the king's nest, and first took out the divine Zhifeng fruit to eat...
...
It took two days to successfully comprehend the two abilities of Zhifeng and Airflow Wall.
......
Long Bai's wind abilities have initially been enriched. In addition to conventional air flow control, he has five abilities: wind wings, whirlwind, wind knowledge, wind crack, and air flow wall.
The ability is quite comprehensive, taking into account the three major items of flight, attack, and defense.
Long Bai switched to simulating the flying body of the bee tribe, and spent half a month cultivating a group of wind-type air soldiers and flying ants.
The air force is permanently stationed in Zizhuang Mountain and Hongnan Mountain and is responsible for reconnaissance work. Once there is an invasion by foreign enemies, it will fly back to Xianglan Mountain to report the news in time.
Flying ants can be responsible for part of the orchard harvesting work.
Long Bai cultivated a small batch of ants as a test, and did not cultivate wind ants on a large scale before officially strengthening the wind element and condensing the wind element divine pattern.
……
The large soldier ants and specialized soldier ants in Zizhuang Mountain emerged one after another, but they failed to inherit the ability to adapt to evolution.
It can only be through adaptive evolution that Long Bai can obtain resistance improvements or morphological changes at various bloodline levels, and then pass them down to the ant colony. (End of this chapter)
