Astral Ants

Chapter 423: Buds Change Branches, Bud Cultivation Techniques

Long Bai and Mo Lan and the other insects also withdrew from the central area along with the barley worm warriors, and stood by the river, waiting eagerly.

It is early autumn.

The early autumn nights in the northern country are already a bit chilly.

This wait is ten days.

Midnight,

Lin Nan Shenshu's mental power surged forward, "The Tilia has woken up!"

--woke up?
— Finally woke up!
——Evolution succeeded?

--great!

——The seed bestowed by the linden!
All the bugs cheered and rushed towards the center of the Land of Force.

"stop!"

Long Bai, who was running at the forefront, suddenly stopped and shouted to stop.

"Everyone, don't mess up!"

"too messy!"

"Quiet!"

"I'm going up to communicate with the Tilia god-given seed."

The insects quieted down.

Following behind Long Bai, he came under the tree and looked up.

"Tilia?"

Long Bai called.

"Longcypress Ant King."

The seed bestowed by the purple linden conveys a blunt mental power idea.

——It even recognized itself!

——The wild god-given seed has awakened soul consciousness at the mountain master level, and he often moves under the tree, and it is normal to recognize it.

Long Bai was slightly surprised, and said solemnly: "Congratulations, you have successfully awakened and evolved into a tree king."

Tilia: "Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome--"

Long Bai formally introduced himself: "I am the Giant Head Ant King, an ant from the south. My main nest is in the southern Xianglan Mountain, and my kingdom is called the Xianglan Mountain Ant Kingdom."

Mo Lan leaned forward.

Long Bai introduced: "It's called Molan, the orchid mantis, and also the southern insect, the second king of the ant kingdom in Xianglan Mountain."

"This is Huang Chuan, the only contemporary katydid warrior in Mount Citigroup. This is Spruce, the long-shielded grasshopper warrior, the number one fighting force in Mount Citigroup. They are northern insects. Mount Citigroup is a mountain, and it is also a large ethnic group. It used to be the most prosperous place in Yunji Continent."

"Zi Lin, you should be very familiar with these three, this is the Chong Pu Mountain Lord of the Barley Bug Tribe..."

Long Bai introduced them one by one.

After getting to know each other,
Long Bai continued to tell the Tilia god-given seed about the basic situation of this world and the current detailed situation of Yunji Continent.

The old tree that has grown for more than 1000 years has accumulated all kinds of doubts when observing the world. The God-given Seed of Tilia will also raise various questions, and Longbai will answer them one by one.

From midnight until dawn.

From morning till noon.

Silver Cypress went hunting at the edge of the Force Land, and all the bugs held a grand celebration banquet under the tree, eating, drinking and chatting until night.

The barley bug fighters all gathered under the tree for the night, unwilling to leave.

Longbai is also not easy to drive away.

Going back 500 years, the kingdom of Tilia chrysalis was established because of the seeds bestowed by the gods of Tilia.

To some extent, the god-given seed of Tilia can be regarded as the "ancestor" that sheltered the growth and development of the barley worm tribe, just like the sacred tree of Citi in the tribe of Citi Mountain shield katydid...

……

The next day,

Long Bai sent Huang Jie and Mo Lan, who came to see the excitement, to Huaqi Mountain.

The barley bug warriors entered the forest one after another, collected various animal and plant samples and brought them over, competing to explain and understand the species bestowed by the Tilia.

Juniper, black leaf, and black birch also led the ant colony to help.

The Tilia god-given seed occupies the best position in the center of the Force Land, with a spiritual range of over 2000 meters. You can chat with Citi, Lin Nan, and Jin He, the three tree tribe veterans, as you like. What Zerg warriors can't answer If you have any questions, you can also ask them for advice.

Long Bai didn't care too much, and continued to go back and forth between the second rough stone mine and the Zilin Chong Kingdom, transporting rough stones for the seed bestowed by Jin He...

busy autumn.

...

Autumn and winter come.

Mount Citi, the god-given seed of red barberry survived the first winter smoothly.

...

Winter goes to spring,

The god-sent seed of Tilia germinates new branches and grows rapidly.

After being successfully promoted to the king rank, it has a vigorous growth period that lasted for 20 years.

Tilia itself is a big tree, and the tree bestowed by the gods is at the king stage, and the tree height must exceed 300 meters.

time flies,

It's that spring time of the year again.

The ruling throne flew back to Xianglan Mountain with red scorpions, white scorpions, and scallops on board.

"Wow!"

"Oh!"

Seeing the god-given seed of North Gorgon in the Shanbei Reservoir, the orchid fruit near the entrance of the Ant Nest in Shanbei, and the god-given seed of Hanlan under the Shandong Reservoir, Bai Po and Tuluo exclaimed again and again.

over the mountains,

I also saw the blue god-given seed with a height of more than 120 meters.

There are also black and yellow god-given seeds with vines that spread nearly a hundred meters.

There are also the seed bestowed by the gods of emerald green flowers and cold orchids and the god bestowed seeds of Nanqian.

The sacred tree of Citi, no matter how good the sacred tree of Linnan is, it all belongs to Mount Citi.

But these are the god-given seeds of Longbai and Molan's life seeds, and these are only some of the many god-given seeds.

The two little guys kept exclaiming and admiring.

"Azure blue!"

The reigning throne fell straight to the Zhanlan Reservoir.

Although there are many god-given seeds in Xianglan Mountain, only one Zhanlan God-given seed can communicate normally.

"This is the white scorpion, the dry stone blue armored warrior. It came to learn the trade of merchants."

"This is Chihuahua, the barley bug warrior. It followed me on a trip to the mainland to gain knowledge, and came to visit Xianglan Mountain."

Bai Po and Tiao Luo waved their tentacles and greeted Zhan Lan.

Zhanlan responded with the spirit of greeting, and then became serious, "Long Bai, I have a new discovery!"

Zhan Lan said: "Long Bai, look inside my leaves! The top! The penultimate leaf, the third leaf, and the fourth leaf."

Long Bai: "???"

Long Bai was puzzled, and unfolded his mental power, sweeping towards the top of the blue leaves.

The surface of the penultimate, third, and fourth broad leaves on the top is covered with a layer of light blue original energy.

Zhanlan can also use the hydrological shield!

It's quite strong, and it can block Long Bai's mental power.

—Is that all?

Long Bai was puzzled, he controlled the ruling throne to lift off vertically, and looked with his eyes.

The trumpet-shaped pocket is filled with turbid liquid, and on the dense air roots, there are dots of tiny green spots suspended.

If you look closely, it is the bud tip fragments of the leaves, like seeds, that have germinated roots and leaf buds.

Budding technology!
It is the most difficult to achieve a very special plant cultivation technique recorded in the Hall of Knowledge of Mount Citigroup.

Collect plant leaves or bud tips, chop them into small pieces, put them into the secret nutrient solution, and seal and protect them with water-based or wood-based original energy shields. After a period of time, each slice can develop into a brand new and Complete seedlings.

This high-end technique is generally used for 'budding' plants.

An extremely rare mutation can occur in orchard plants: a certain branch of a certain tree mutates to produce larger or better-tasting fruit.

This is an optimized variation, and many high-quality plantings are born this way.

But this kind of variation is usually accompanied by abnormal seed development, or the inability to obtain new shoots through normal seed sowing.

In this case, using the 'bud culture technology', a large number of mutant seedlings can be obtained in a short period of time and cultivated on a large scale.Through a large number of flowering and fruiting, a large number of seeds are collected, planted and cultivated, and plants that can reproduce naturally are selected from a small probability, and new plants with stable characteristics are obtained.

"Azure blue?"

Long Bai's eyes brightened, "Could it be that the high-quality buds have changed branches?"

Zhanlan explained: "It was the autumn of the year before last. Jubai picked a very large and sweet peach fruit in the Shanbei Wutao Orchard. It deliberately left the seeds, and after sowing, it grew out of deformed seedlings. Last autumn, it noticed I have seen that the peach fruit produced on that branch is still very big and sweet, a very obvious variation."

Zhan Lan: "But it can't reproduce through seeds, and the grafting is too slow, so we thought of the 'bud cultivation technique'."

Long Bai: "What about the nutrient solution used for cultivation? There is no record in the Hall of Knowledge on Mount Citi..."

Zhan Lan: "It's very simple. Mix ant honey with water, and just master the concentration."

Long Bai: "???"

Zhanlan: "I'm also a plant, and I can precisely control the concentration. The water should be boiled and then cooled. The original energy shield should be used to protect it around the clock, and it cannot be invaded by some invisible disease substances. The rest is nothing."

Zhanlan: "When blue ants are brewing ant honey, they will secrete a substance that kills diseases. This substance does not have much effect on plant growth. According to the test, the ant honey mixed with high-sweet fresh fruit, seeds and meat It's the best foundation."

Zhanlan: "Coupled with my water system energy field to promote plant growth, it is easy to succeed."

Zhanlan: "One batch has been successfully cultivated, 131 seedlings have been successfully cultivated, and 97 survived after transplanting. This is the second batch, and some optimization and adjustments have been made. At present, this batch can successfully cultivate 898 seedlings."

Long Bai: "!!!"

Long Bai was shocked for a while, and praised sincerely: "Zhan Lan is amazing!"

Zhan Lan readily accepted Long Bai's compliment and continued. "Three nurseries have been cleared for cedar and green cypress. We plan to cultivate 1000 seedlings first and transplant the best ones."

Long Bai: "Very good!"

Long Bai: "The Black Emperor Peach is bred from the mutant varieties of black peach. According to the description, we are also very hopeful to breed a 'Black Emperor Peach' variety of our own."

Zhan Lan: "Both Cedar and Cuibai said the same. Moreover, there is a great chance to trigger the gift of nature!"

was saying,

Surrounded by ants, the busy green cypresses and cedars in the orchard in the north of the mountain climbed over the mountains, and were running down the mountain along the ant tunnel, towards the Zhanlan Reservoir.

Today, the azure tree is more than 120 meters high, and its spiritual power covers a radius of more than 1200 meters. Most of the territory on the south side of the mountain is managed by it in command of the ant colony.

The cedars and cypresses are in the north of the mountain most of the time.

"Zhanlan, you are busy."

Long Bai rode the ruling throne and flew towards the mountains.
