CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 402: THE 39TH CARAVAN OF CLOUD CROWN MOUNTAIN (4K SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST)_3
"Oh—"
"So, the Origin Force Honey of Purple Back Mountain is sourced from you? They’ve delivered quite a lot to me."
Bug King Yanguan was once again startled in his heart.
A mere Mountain Lord Level roving merchant actually possesses so many valuable goods.
Melde seized the opportunity and said, "We follow Spider King Spurge across the Ten Thousand Nations Continent, under the care of Spider King Spurge, and control a considerable share of top-tier Divine-Given Seed transactions below the divine grade."
While speaking, Melde untied the spider silk rope from the carapace, took out a medium-sized spider silk bag, opened it, and revealed a bag full of cypress seeds.
"The Life Seed, Red Cypress Divine-Given Seed, cultivated by the Ant King—pure Strength System enhancement. I exclusively hold fifty percent of the transaction share."
Bug King Yanguan swept his spiritual power across, his eyes lit up slightly: "Good stuff!"
It’s just that the Ant King’s evolution is too low, merely Mountain Lord Level items.
Bug King Yanguan lightly tapped his tentacle, falling silent in contemplation.
It’s clear these two Flame Spider roving merchants are far stronger than their peers, with limitless potential.
Bug King Yanguan set down the metal can holding the Night Fragrance Fruit, received the Azure Bee King Honey that White Ivy handed over, examined it, tasted it, and praised, "Not bad."
Bug King Yanguan placed down the metal can containing Azure Bee King Honey, picked up the Night Fragrance Fruit again, and asked, "If I’m not mistaken, this item doesn’t have a high yield, correct?"
White Ivy: "Not high. Its blossom-fruit cycle lasts fifteen years, each time producing only seven fruits. Currently, only three are kept each cycle, shortening the cycle to seven years."
"The yield isn’t ideal."
Bug King Yanguan commented, and immediately asked, "How much of the share do you control?"
White Ivy: "All of it."
Bug King Yanguan: "Good!"
Bug King Yanguan proposed, "How about this: two Night Fragrance Fruits in exchange for one Spotted Embrace Fruit. The Night Fragrance Fruit is valued at 1.2 million source stones per piece, I’ll make up an additional 400,000 source stones worth of Divine-Given Origin Force Food for you, any type below King-Level, at your discretion. At the same time, if you wish, you can enter Cloud Crown Mountain to become the thirty-ninth caravan granted fixed cooperation and transaction privileges."
"Agreed!"
"Thank you, Bug King Yanguan!"
The expected goal was achieved, even slightly exceeding expectations.
White Ivy and Melde agreed decisively and thanked him joyfully.
"Excellent! Then the deal is settled."
Bug King Yanguan took the initiative to explain, "The yield of the Spotted Embrace Divine-Given Seed is decent, with a blossom-fruit cycle of twelve years. The next batch will mature in four years. How many Night Fragrance Fruits did you bring this time? You may sell me two now, evaluated by source stones..."
White Ivy said sincerely, "Bug King Yanguan, this batch has three Night Fragrance Fruits, all carried on my back. I can sell you one at the exceptionally low price of 500,000 source stones, to test its effects, also as a token of sincerity in reserving a Divine-Grade Spotted Embrace Fruit four years from now. The other two, I will still deliver to Purple Back Mountain. If possible, in seven years, with the next yield, I shall make it a rule to deliver them to Cloud Crown Mountain and conduct trade with you."
Bug King Yanguan commended, "You are a spider who values friendship—Cloud Crown Mountain interacts only with spiders like you."
Bug King Yanguan: "Water flows downward, and insects climb upward! Coming to Cloud Crown Mountain is the right choice for you."
Bug King Yanguan: "Every twelve years, Cloud Crown Mountain’s Beautiful Ji Bug Tribe evaluates the overall strength of all cooperative caravans and reallocates the shares of Divine-Given Origin Force Food transactions, as well as quotas for ordinary Origin Force Food. The harvest time coincides with the Spotted Embrace Divine-Given Seed, and the next evaluation is four years from now..."
Bug King Yanguan: "How about this, during these four years while the shares are being reallocated, I, as a private bug, will order some Origin Force Honey from your caravan each year, at 1 million source stones per annum—does that work?"
White Ivy said happily, "Of course, no problem! Many thanks to Bug King Yanguan for your favor."
Bug King Yanguan: "Our Beautiful Ji Bug Tribe of Cloud Crown Mountain enforces the most stringent closed management on the continent. Yet for Flame Spider Caravans with stable cooperative ties, we are the continent’s most generous. In the future, if your caravan acquires more good things, bring them to Cloud Crown Mountain, and you will never be taken advantage of."
White Ivy: "Perfect! When I have rare goods in the coming years, I’ll be sure to send them to you..."
You really have more?!
Bug King Yanguan: "Does your caravan possess Divine-Grade Fruit beyond life-extending divine goods?"
White Ivy suddenly hesitated.
Melde helped explain, "Yes. We’re negotiating. It is still uncertain whether we can secure long-term and stable transaction privileges."
Bug King Yanguan: "What kind of divine grade is it?"
Melde: "Wood Elemental Talent Granting. Rather special, produced from a Divine God-Given Seed whose evolution surpasses King-Level. The price is steep—6 million source stones..."
"Beyond King-Level?"
"How is that possible?!"
Bug King Yanguan’s tentacles quivered, his gaze becoming grave.
As an Insect King, he could clearly sense the suppressive effect of the Stellar Realm Laws on evolution.
In the Natural Star Realm, 9-age-period King-Level is the absolute limit.
White Ivy gave a brief explanation: "Outworld Civilization, God-Level Creation, shields against the Stellar Realm Laws."
