Dawn Spider

Chapter 136 Purple Fence Tree
The caravan that went to trade in the southern continent has returned.
Upon hearing the news of the Golden Leaf Vine, Lord Famu rushed over immediately.

After a while,

Lord Famu asked, "Jin, you've awakened your lightning talent? I heard that during the mist tide, something happened, and you single-handedly killed over twenty mountain lord-level mist spirits?"

"Yes."

The golden figure flickered and soared into the air, raised its claw and unleashed a burst of purple lightning, then flashed back to the ground, seemingly frozen in place without making a move.

"You've already learned to use two abilities together so quickly?"

"Excellent! Excellent! These two abilities seem to be a good match."

Lord Famu praised him repeatedly, saying, "Jin, your hard work has paid off. In terms of skill alone, most mountain lord-level warriors cannot match your proficiency and fluidity."

Lord Famu then turned to Lord Sikui Mountain and said in a tone that was neither too harsh nor too soft, "Sikui, you made a huge mistake in this fog tide, which almost led to a tragedy."

Master Sikui also said with lingering fear, "I was careless this time, I will definitely be more careful in the future."

During this foggy weather, Jin and Yin almost lost their lives.

But we can't blame the master of Silk Sunflower Mountain, so afterwards Gold and Silver kept quiet and didn't mention it to the other spiders.

None of the spiders on Zitan Peak, including the Red Cone, were informed.

Only the Crimson Lord, who came to help, knew.

Lord Famu learned of the situation as soon as he returned, which means he must have specifically entrusted Qimu Peak and Qingmu Peak to keep an eye on the movements at Diansi Kui Mountain.

Lord Famu didn't say much, but called everyone together to go and check on the God-given Seeds of Pokeweed and Black Oak. Finally, they arrived at the cave where Lord Sikui Mountain lived on the south side of the mountain.

Let's take stock of last year's harvest from the Silk Sunflower Mountain lord's territory.

Lord Famu removed a small spider silk pouch from his carapace, opened it, and inside were purplish-black, flat, round seeds, emanating a unique primal energy.

A type of ordinary Force food.

But for Lord Famu to bring it out so solemnly, it must be something extraordinary.

Silver raised its paw and asked, "Lord Famu, what is this?"

Lord Famu said, "This is a soul-type mutant plant cultivated by a tribe deep in the cold south of the continent. The original species is called 'Green Fence Tree,' a common wood-type plant. The mutated species is called 'Purple Fence Tree,' and its enhancement effect is 'Soul Sensing Enhancement.'"

"In the early stages of enhancement, the soul will sense when an attack is coming; when the enhancement reaches a certain level, the soul can sense the attack before it is fully charged; when the enhancement reaches its peak, the soul will be aware of when other insects show hostility towards you."

"Its exceptionally keen soul perception plays a crucial role in daily life, long voyages and adventures, and even dangerous battles. The Primal Force food produced by the Purple Fence Tree Life Seed is no less valuable than ordinary divine Primal Force food."

"It drifted out from the depths of the inland and ended up at the trading post. We didn't get a lot this time, but the quality is very high, at the lord level. High-level warriors will benefit greatly from its enhancement effect. Here are 100 purple fences, gold and silver, you can divide them among yourselves."

"Thank you, Lord Famu!"

"Thank you, Lord Famu!"

Jin and Yin took the spider silk bag without ceremony and immediately picked up the purple thorn and stuffed it into their mouths.

"..."

Lord Famu asked, "Jin, during your advanced warrior stage, did you only consume divinely bestowed primal force food to evolve?"

Kim replied, “My income supports this evolution.”

Lord Famu said, "Then you can consider allocating one-third of your energy each age to enhance your lightning abilities."

In the advanced warrior stage, from age 1 to 3, if using ordinary Force food for evolution and growth, the cost per age is approximately 9000 Primogems. If using divinely bestowed Force food for evolution and growth, the cost is multiplied by ten, approximately 9 Primogems.

From age 4 to 6, using regular Force Food costs approximately 1.4 per age. If using God-given Force Food, the cost is approximately 14.

From age 7 to 9, using regular Force Food costs approximately 1.8 per age. If using God-given Force Food, the cost can reach as high as 18.

Ordinary Zerg warriors are troubled by the inability to obtain enough God-given Force food and dare not easily evolve further.

Wealthy Zerg warriors, on the other hand, are worried about the limited upgrade budget and the large number of upgrades they need.

For metals, the order of strengthening has been a long-standing point of contention.

Jin said, "There's no rush to strengthen lightning-type abilities for now."

"I plan to take it a step further and enhance the spider silk. Let's start with some divinely bestowed food worth 1 primal stones, the kind that strengthens internal organs. A little of everything."

"Next, a divinely bestowed food worth 1 primal stones, which can indirectly enhance the strength of spider silk by improving the hardness and toughness of the shell, the toughness and resistance of the bristles."

"Another 1 Origin Stones worth of divinely bestowed Force food to enhance visual perception? Prioritize enhancing daytime vision, then dynamic vision, and then microscopic vision..."

"Next, a divinely bestowed food worth 2 primal stones, which can increase the body's maximum primal energy storage capacity."

Lord Famu said, "There are a total of 5 here."

Jin Pan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Last year, I still had 10 worth of divinely bestowed primal force food for improving overall physique. I processed it using equipment according to a reasonable ratio and stored it away. So, there's no need to exchange it for now."

"This year I have a redemption quota of 10.5. I'll redeem the remaining 5.5 for specialties from the Southern Continent, mainly fire-based, elemental divine-given food. I plan to accumulate trading capital."

"In a few days, I'll also invest the proceeds from processing 1 worth of divinely bestowed primal force food for Lord West Serpent, increasing the working capital for primal force food processing and trading from 14 to 20.5. I'll simply buy all the divinely bestowed primal force fruits produced on certain distant peaks, so that the seeds processed and peeled won't have to be sent back, saving me a couple of trips."

"That's fine..." Lord Famu wasn't particularly concerned about minor details like Red Cone and Gold making a few more or fewer trips during the transaction, and casually agreed, saying:

“Jin, there’s one more small issue you need to pay attention to. Now that you have abundant resources, consider acquiring more of those metal boxes used for packaging and processing Force food. These are key reserve tools for your future trade trips to Ivory Island.”

Jin replied, "I understand. I will be careful."

"As long as you know."

Lord Famu said, "Jin, I've noted down the divine-given food you wanted to exchange for."

Lord Famu turned to the side and asked, "Silver, what about you? You'll be here next year..."

Yin said, "Next year I will be self-reliant! I will live off the produce of my own life seeds."

Lord Sikui said, "It's not that I'm asking you to be completely independent. I will still provide you with some evolution resources as appropriate."

Lord Sikui said, "Lord Famu, prepare 3 units of divinely bestowed primal force food to enhance Yin's overall physique. My two divinely bestowed seeds produce 8.6 units annually. As agreed, give the remaining 5.6 units to Red Cone first, and we'll supplement it with another 3 units next year."

"...That's fine."

Lord Famu asked, "Silk Sunflower, should we exchange the ordinary Force food produced in your territory this year for Primal Stones?"

"Yes."

The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain replied, "When Gold and Silver were in the initial and intermediate warrior stages, they spent most of their time living at the foot of the mountain, guarding their life seeds. Now that they have evolved into advanced warriors, with an evolution interval of more than a year, they no longer need to guard their life seeds most of the time. They can now live on the mountain and cultivate their own gardens, planting and managing some common plants that they like."

"Yin, go to the east or west side of the mountain and carve out your own cave to live in?"

Without hesitation, Yin replied, "I choose the east side of the mountain!"

"Row!"

Lord Sikui said, "Lord Famu, I mean, please invite Lord Huangqi over to help build a reservoir on the northeast side of Sikui Peak, open up flood discharge and irrigation canals, and also help to tidy up the land on the east side of the peak to facilitate the reclamation of forest land."

"yeah!"

Silver cheered, raising his paws and saying, "Help me dig a cave like Fourth Brother's! Also, help me build a super-large earth and stone trellis specifically for cultivating Tin Leaf Vine!"

Lord Famu: “…”

Lord Famu asked, "The Tin Leaf Vine planted in the same field where the Golden Leaf Vine is rooted, what are they...?"

The master of Silk Sunflower Mountain said helplessly, "Both Jin and Yin are particularly fond of Tin Leaf Vine. I brought them along to try planting it."

"Now that they are officially managing their own territory, they can spend more raw stones to build a climbing vine garden with a side length of 1 kilometer on the east side of the mountain, specifically for planting tin leaf vines."

"1 kilometers!"

Silver jumped and danced joyfully.

"..."

What are you so happy about? Jin stared coldly.

Jin has absolutely no desire to plant anything. But she shouldn't make it too obvious, so as not to stand out from the other insects.

"Tin Leaf Vine..."

"We'll need to build a special trellis for the climbing vines..."

Lord Famu was speechless, but seeing Silver's reaction, he felt just as helpless as Si Kui, and reluctantly agreed, "Alright, let's build one?"

Lord Famu asked, "Should gold and silver be planted together? It's best to keep them separate, each managing its own, and not mix them together. Otherwise, if we're lucky enough to grow a divinely bestowed seed, the ownership will be difficult to determine."

The master of Sikui Mountain said, "The irrigation canals divide the land into plots and number them, with each of them occupying half."

Silver: "Yay!"

gold:"……"

Lord Famu solemnly instructed, "Be careful to distinguish them clearly."

"No need. No need."

Yin was overjoyed and said, "Fourth Brother doesn't like farming, so I'll help him farm next to us."

Jin hurriedly said, "We're all spiders, no need to be so particular. Let Yin help me plant it; whatever grows will belong to her too."

Jin explained, "Right now, I need to travel around every few days to acquire God-given Force Fruits, so I don't have much time to take care of them. In the future, when the business expands to Ivory Island, I'll be spending most of my time there, and I'll have even less time."

"That won't work."

Lord Famu said, "Jin, you can plant less and allocate less land, but the boundaries must be clearly defined."

"..."

Jin was completely speechless.

Lord Famu stood up and said, "Let's go take a look around the east side of the mountain and see how to plan it out properly."
