Chapter 120 Spirit and Soul
The yew tree raised its paw to take the seed from the male kiwi tree, but it did not immediately incorporate it into its life sac to nurture it into a life seed. Instead, it held it in its paw to examine it.
The seeds of the Green Soul kiwifruit, whether from male or female plants, are roughly the same size. However, the seeds from female plants are generally light blue, while the seeds from male plants, although also blue, are much darker in color; the difference between the two is easily recognizable.
As Zishan examined the seeds of the Qinghun kiwi, the leader of the Hundred Divisions explained, "The seeds of the Qinghun kiwi are divided into male and female varieties. Under normal circumstances, the female plants can produce fruit even without pollination by male flowers."
After being pollinated by the male plant's pollen, the quality of the Qinghun kiwifruit will be slightly better, but the improvement will be limited, so don't have too high expectations.
However, there are no exceptions; even with pollination by male flowers, there is an extremely small chance that the Qinghun kiwifruit variety will produce fruit that contains seeds from a male plant.
"Produces fruit that has nurtured the seeds of a male plant?" Upon hearing this, both Green Bamboo King and Purple Yew were puzzled.
"Yes, but the probability is very small. Even if you have 1000 Green Soul Kiwi Seeds, you might not get such a fruit."
The leader of the Hundred Tribes' words piqued Zishan's curiosity: "Leader of the Hundred Tribes, are the fruits of the male trees any different?"
"Yes." A hopeful glint flashed in the eyes of the leader of the hundred tribes: "Soul, it sounds like a word, but if you want to divide it carefully, it can be further divided into spirit and soul."
The soul is the consciousness and instinct possessed by all animals in nature. The spirit, on the other hand, represents wisdom.
The tribal leader raised his paw and pointed at the countless common rhinoceros beetles covering the mountains and fields, saying, "Little warrior Ziye, your tribe's insectoid warriors have protected tens of millions of common rhinoceros beetles. I ask you, do those rhinoceros beetles have consciousness?"
The yew tree thought for a moment and tapped its antennae: "They know to eat fruit when they're hungry, drink sap when they're thirsty, and hide in piles of dead leaves when they're cold. They must be sentient beings."
"Then let me ask you again, do you think they possess intelligence?"
Yew hesitated for a moment: "Ordinary insects only have animal instincts. They may have a little intelligence, but that little bit is negligible to us."
"That's it." The leader of the Hundred Tribes spoke eloquently: "Only those who possess wisdom can be called intelligent beings. And the male fruit of the Azure Soul Kiwi increases the spirituality of the Zerg warriors, which can also be called wisdom."
Purple Fir and Green Bamboo Dragon King's hearts pounded: "Intelligence can also be increased?"
"Of course it can. Strengthening the soul is actually increasing intelligence. However, the proportion of spirit in the fruit produced by ordinary green soul kiwifruit seed is very small, so it is not obvious."
The difference lies in the fact that some Zerg warriors can go for long periods without sleeping, which is due to their full soul power and increased mental endurance.
Some Zerg have exceptionally sensitive reflexes, allowing them to react quickly to unexpected situations. This is an enhancement of spiritual power, which, combined, results in a strengthening and enhancement of the soul.
One thing it didn't mention is that most Zerg warriors had never even heard of Soul-type Force foods, let alone categorized them. Only the Flame Spider Merchant was so extravagant as to plan the effects of different Soul-type Force foods.
"Little Zishan Warrior, if you take the seed of the male Qinghun Kiwifruit plant into your life sac and nurture it into a life seed, you can pollinate the Qinghun Kiwifruit life seeds of other insect warriors in your tribe in the future. If it really produces male kiwifruit fruit, I am willing to buy it at twice the price of ordinary fruit."
Foods containing Origin Force, such as the Green Soul Kiwi, are already expensive. If the price doubles, it's practically no different from food containing Origin Force bestowed by the gods.
Zishan asked, "Does the Green Soul Kiwi Fruit seed produce a random, unpredictable number of male kiwi fruits, or once a male kiwi fruit appears, the entire tree will be covered in male kiwi fruits?"
"Of course, it's randomly generated. Some Zerg warriors' life seeds may produce 500 fruits, but they might not produce a single male kiwi fruit, or they might only produce one or two."
Some Zerg warriors are lucky enough that their Blue Soul Kiwi Seeds can produce most of the male kiwi fruits at once. The number of fruits produced each year varies, but in any case, our price is what it is, and you definitely won't lose out.
Suppressing his excitement, Qingzhu Jiawang silently began to calculate. The yew tree could nurture ordinary seeds into divinely bestowed seeds, and it already had a female Qinghun kiwifruit seedling. Once the male Qinghun kiwifruit seedling was also planted, its quality would definitely improve to another level after it flowered and pollinated the female seedling.
Soul-type divine-given food is already very expensive; if it could be sold for double that price, the price would be astronomical.
"I see."
After receiving all the answers, Zishan put the seed of the male Qinghun Kiwifruit plant into her mouth and placed it into her life pouch. Within the life pouch, the primal energy and soul power emanating from Zishan's body gradually seeped into the seed of the male Qinghun Kiwifruit plant, transforming it into her own life seed.
Seeing this, the Golden Sunflower Spider King and the leaders of the Hundred Tribes were relieved.
The Golden Sunflower Spider King said, "Green Bamboo Armor King, now that the matter is settled and there is nothing else to do here, I will take my leave."
The Green Bamboo Armor King also said very politely, "Thank you for troubling the Golden Sunflower Spider King to make this special trip."
The leader of the hundred tribes scanned the trading square with its spiritual senses and saw that most of the transactions had been completed. It then bid farewell, saying, "King Green Bamboo Armor, our transactions are also finished. Our caravan still needs to travel to the Thousand Star Islands. See you next year."
"You've worked hard, Chief of the Hundred Tribes." The Azure Bamboo Armor King had noticed earlier that the Lord of Zehui Mountain of the Hundred Tribes caravan had given two seeds to Qingyulan and Tiannanxing. Therefore, it didn't say anything when the Chief of the Hundred Tribes said he was leaving. As long as the goods were delivered, it didn't care about anything else.
The insects watched as the Hundred-Branch Caravan and the Golden Sunflower Spider King departed together.
After the caravan of a hundred tribes left, the Green Bamboo Armor King waved its tentacles, signaling everyone to distribute the various primal force foods they had traded, as was customary, so that their lords could take them back and distribute them to the various mountain peaks.
This time, however, it specifically kept a few of the little warriors: "Yew, Blue Rain Orchid, Arisaema, you stay."
The three little warriors were not surprised that the Green Bamboo Armor King wanted to keep them. They had just obtained the top-grade tree seed from the Flame Spider Merchant's claws, and the Green Bamboo Armor King would definitely come to inquire about it.
After the other insects left, leaving only the Green Bamboo Armor King and a few Lord-level Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors in the trading square, the Green Bamboo Armor King asked Qing Yulan and Tian Nanxing, "What seeds did the Hundred Tribes Caravan give you as your life seeds?"
Qing Yulan spoke first: "Teacher Zehui gave me a chestnut to nurture into a seed of life."
The Green Bamboo Armor King twitched its antennae. It recognized this tree species. It was one of the power-type tree species exclusively controlled by the Flame Spider Kingdom. Its output, quality, and price were all extremely high, making it undoubtedly the top-tier tree species in the Astral Plane.
In fact, the Green Bamboo King had long coveted the chestnut seed and had long wanted to give the yew a seed to nurture into its life-giving seed. However, the Flame Spider Merchant had too many good things in its claws. In comparison, the male seed of the Green and Red Kiwi Fruit was more important. It would definitely find a way to get one for the yew in two years.
Tian Nanxing also said, "The Lord of Zehui Mountain gave me a seed of a green oak tree. He said it is a variant of the golden oak tree, and its function is to quickly repair injuries."
This was something their Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe had been longing for. The Green Bamboo King was very satisfied with the three top-grade tree species brought by the Hundred Tribes Caravan this year.
The Flame Spider Merchants, these unscrupulous merchants, have so many good things in their hands that they won't part with them unless they're squeezed dry.
It thought for a moment, then told the three insects and the lords about the things it had talked about with the leaders of the hundred tribes regarding the production of these life seeds, and then said: "The profits from the production of these life seeds are very high. I was thinking that if you could all be promoted to the level of mountain lord a year earlier, then your income would increase a year earlier."
Tian Nanxing, I will still lend you 10 raw stones every year to support your growth and evolution. Ideally, you should be able to advance to the Mountain Lord level before you turn 30.
Qing Yulan, it's the same for you. I've discussed it with the tribal lords, and we can lend you up to 10 primal stones worth of primal energy food each year. Combined with your own life seed production, that should be enough to allow you to advance one age level each year, and ideally, you could reach the Mountain Lord level within 10 years.
Regarding the life seeds, I will try my best to obtain some of the top-grade tree species from the Flame Spider Caravan for you to incorporate into your life pods and nurture into life seeds, ensuring your future production is worry-free.
If you two can advance to the Mountain Lord level before the age of 30, and each of you possesses a Divine Seed, your future advancement to the Lord level will be virtually guaranteed.
I can even promise you here that if you can advance to the Lord level before you turn one hundred, the tribe will definitely find a way to help you strive to become the Insect King.
Of course, the best outcome would be for you to obtain another bountiful seed from God in the future.
"Thank you, King Green Bamboo Armor!" Upon receiving such a promise from King Green Bamboo Armor, the two little warriors were immediately overjoyed.
In particular, Tian Nanxing once again felt that returning to the tribe was the right decision, otherwise, where would the Zerg warriors in the wild give it such strong support?
Although it possesses a divinely bestowed seed, it can only hope to reach the level of a mountain lord in this lifetime. Regardless of combat strength, the lifespan of a mountain lord is five times that of an insect king.
After telling them what had happened, the Green Bamboo King waved its tentacles to send them away: "Go back and guard the life seeds you just planted!"
"Yes!" the two insects answered in unison, turning around happily and spreading their wings to chase after their departing elders.
Then the Green Bamboo King looked at the Purple Fir. Before it could speak, the Purple Fir took the initiative to say, "Green Bamboo King, I have a small question I'd like to ask."
You just said you promised the tribal leaders that you would trade half of the primal energy food produced from the seeds we obtained from their claws to them. Does that mean I also have to give them my primal energy products?
King Qingzhujia said, "I had already planned this matter. Our tribe has obtained quite a few top-grade tree species from the claws of the Flame Spider Merchant, and many of them are of the same kind."
Over the next few years, I will ask them to bring over some top-tier tree species of the same type as your Destiny Seed for other Rhinoceros Beetle Warriors to cultivate into Destiny Seeds.
You can use their life-sustaining seeds to offset the debt later. This way, you can fulfill their terms of the deal while keeping your secret.
The yew tree wasn't stupid; it had thought of this concealment method as well. But the problem was: "The seeds of that male kiwifruit tree look extremely precious. The Golden Sunflower Spider King has to make a trip to get just one seed. It would be very difficult to get a second one, wouldn't it?"
Moreover, there is definitely a quality difference between Qinghun kiwifruit that has been pollinated by male flowers and those that have not, and this is difficult to conceal.
I don't think this will fool the caravan of a hundred tribes. What are you planning to do then?
King Qingzhu said, "Try to keep it from them for a few years, preferably until you are promoted to the Mountain Lord level in the future. Then, revealing some of your information will not be too dangerous."
"Perhaps we can even tie a hundred caravans to our tribe's war chariots, which might make our operations even easier."
"Qingzhujia King is wise!" Seeing that Qingzhujia King had made up his mind, Zishan said no more.
Green Bamboo Armor King: "This can only take advantage of their time. The most crucial point of this plan is that you need to promote everyone to the Mountain Lord level as soon as possible. As long as high-level warriors have enough Force food, advancing one age level per year is not a big problem."
"In the coming period, the tribe will lend you Spider King Scrolls worth 15 Primogems every year. Like Qing Yulan and Tian Nanxing, you should try to evolve and grow at a rate of one age per year."
We don't need to worry too much. You have many God-given Life Seeds, and once they bear fruit, you won't lack raw stones.
I won't stop you if you want to stay in the Thousand Star Islands, but I still want to remind you to prioritize your own safety in everything you do.
Although Lotus Island is the core base of the Thousand Star Islands, it will eventually face the threat of the Sea Beast Kingdom.
Anyway, your life force isn't planted there, so if you really encounter danger, run away if you can, and never act impulsively.
"
"I understand, thank you for your concern, King Qingzhujia."
"Well, you're not a two or three-year-old little bug anymore, so I don't need to remind you much."
Speaking of this, King Qingzhujia recalled something else, "You've been away from advancing to the advanced stage for a year now. Most of the life seeds you nurtured in the early and middle stages should be almost fully grown by now, right?"
"That's about it. Most of my seedlings will flower and bear fruit next year, and the total number will exceed 10."
.
"The other life-sustaining plants are fine, as they all belong to you three brothers. But what about your two male mulberry trees, which are divinely bestowed seeds? If they bloom next year and pollinate the other life-sustaining plants, how do you plan to arrange it?"
"Lord Zili had already discussed this matter with us a long time ago. We would distribute it evenly among the rhinoceros tortoise warriors in the tribe who had nurtured the mulberry tree seed."

"This is not a good allocation. Tell me your plans."
"This is what I planned to do—"
