Dawn Spider

Chapter 155 is famous again.
Silky Mountain.

On the east side of the mountain, in the cave where Silver resides, hangs a stone calendar specially made for it by Gold.

Many dates are circled, indicating that on that day, the fruits of the divinely bestowed seeds on Ivory Island or the Twin Islands will ripen and be harvested. One should pay close attention and make preparations a day in advance.

The calendars for October and November are filled with circles, and some dates even have two circles, representing that two divine fruits ripened that day.

Each day that passes, one is crossed out.

Late at night, after finishing a day's work, Silver returned to his cave and, as usual, crossed out a day on the calendar with his paw.

The forking was finally finished in November, and as December approached, only two Divine Seeds remained to be dealt with.

The two busiest months of the year are finally over.

Yin glanced back at the expired lunar calendar. The next three months would be relatively leisurely, allowing him to manage his territory in peace and comfort.

It was getting late, and I was just about to go back to my bedroom to rest when a sudden, powerful spiritual force, like a howling wind, came from the north of the mountain:

"Master Sikui!"

"silver!"

"Lord of Mount Sikui! Silver..."

Why is the strong wind coming again?
Haven't the divinely bestowed seeds failed to mature and be harvested in the last two days?

Yin checked again and found that there were indeed no circles drawn on the calendar.

Could it be a newly negotiated deal?
This possibility is very high.

"Time to work overtime again."

Silver grumbled and ran out of the nest.

...

North of the mountain, Jin's dwelling cave.

Lord Sikui Mountain had already arrived ahead of them.

Yin looked closely and saw eight spider eyes flashing.

The strong wind brought over a large metal box containing the Yuanjing crystal.

"A strong wind? This is..."

"These are the latest ones that the Curcuma Insect King and his companions dug out of the ruins. They were divided into 66 original crystals, and they asked me to send 60 of them back."

"What's going on? Ruins?"

Why was Jin able to get a share?

"I don't really understand, but it seems that Jin gave the Eshu Insect King and the others advice and provided key information, which led to their successful discovery of the ruins. So, Jin also got a share of the spoils from the ruins."

The wind is still a bit hazy, so I'll just give a general account of what happened from beginning to end.

Both the Lord of Sikui Mountain and Yin were stunned.

I'm constantly worried about what will happen if Jin gets bullied by other insects on Ivory Island...

In hindsight, the worries were completely unnecessary.

Jin is doing very well over there; he's even hooked up with the Insect King.

"That's pretty much it."

"It's not over there yet, I need to hurry back and see what other excitement is happening!"

After saying this, Da Feng flapped its wings and took off, disappearing into the depths of the night in an instant.

...

A large group of Poison Armor Warriors arrived at the ruins of 'Arashiyama Industrial College' and, under the command of the Curcuma Insect King, began violently dismantling the building's metal structure.

These high-quality alloys, having lost their original properties, are excellent materials for manufacturing cargo ships, converting cave dwellings, and creating various daily necessities.

Moreover, the warriors of the Great Poison Armor tribe have awakened a talent for metalworking, and they enjoy using metal to modify and decorate their territory. Partridge God Mountain is covered with weapons such as knives, spears, swords, and halberds that imitate human weapons. Normally, these serve as decorations for the territory, but in the event of battle, they directly become weapons to be used against the enemy.

The news spread, and Zerg warriors from various tribes rushed to the scene, filling the mountains and fields with thousands of Zerg to watch the spectacle.

Jin and Dafeng stayed up all night with them, and set off the next morning.

...

Red-headed termite kingdom.

After visiting the Secret Order Ant King, briefly explaining the ruins, and showing it the Primal Crystal and the Metal Box, Jin returned to his cave in the Great Wind Mountain.

Of the 6 original crystals that were separated, 5 were given to Dafeng, and 1 was kept for myself.

Cave bedroom

Jin manipulated a spider silk thread, wrapped it around the original crystal, and examined it repeatedly.

For the first time in both this life and the past, he was staring intently at Yuan Jing, observing and scrutinizing her, his mind constantly pondering a question:
Now that there are plenty of Primal Crystals, can we use more Primal Crystals to accelerate meditation, further enhance spatial abilities, and strengthen spatial power when a 3-year-old advanced warrior evolves into a 4-year-old?

Jin's current mental power detection limit is 360 meters. Theoretically speaking, the maximum distance of the blinking is the same as that of mental power, and the farthest distance can be teleported is 360 meters.

However, the current blinking range is only slightly over 10 meters, leaving room for improvement of 350 meters...

"The next time the pokeweed seed will expand, it will cost at least 35 raw stones."

"Should we keep it?"

"The raw stone of the God-given Pokeweed Seed can be borrowed from the Wood Spider King. There's no interest involved, so borrow as much as you can afford. As for repayment, you can consider it later when you're able to..."

"Currently, my spider silk enhancement and body energy storage enhancement have both reached their peak. To evolve from a 3-year-old to a 4-year-old, if I only consume divinely bestowed energy food for evolution, I will need a total of over 9. The fixed 6 for comprehensive physique enhancement will ensure a flawless breakthrough to the Mountain Lord level in the future. The remaining amount is freely available: 1 for perception enhancement, 1 for lightning enhancement, and over 1 for enhancing spatial abilities. It all adds up to just right."

"Based on a 5% conversion rate, at least 20 raw stones and 20 raw crystals are needed."

"The primal force contained in the primal crystal is purer than that in the primal stone. Can I try to absorb the primal force from the primal crystal?"

Jin pondered for a moment, then made up his mind, unleashing a sweeping mental attack that resonated with the wind: "Great Wind!"

Da Feng made a small fortune and was overjoyed. He came at a moment's notice, standing at the cave entrance and peering out.

"Mr. Jin, what can I do for you?"

"Nothing else. I plan to try absorbing the primal energy within the primal crystal to accelerate meditation and enhance my heterogeneous abilities. It may take three or four days. I'm letting you know."

"Okay! Got it!" Dafeng immediately said, "I'll go tell Fire Tube and Firethorn not to bother you unless it's absolutely necessary."

"..."

The strong winds have passed.

After a long pause, Jin opened his mouth and sucked the original crystal into his stomach.

The stomach draws in the primal energy from the original crystal, integrates it into the blood, and circulates throughout the body.

The speed is just right.

A simple observation reveals that the pure primal force of the original crystal is more easily converted into spatial primal energy.

Jin calmed his mind and entered a meditative state.

...

As calculated, it took four days to finally absorb the primal force of a single primal crystal.

It was quite laborious, but the results were excellent.

Jin returned to a normal routine: exercising in the morning, focusing on skill development in the afternoon, and meditating in the evening.

There will be a transaction in mid-December.

Jin arranged for a strong wind to deliver the goods, and on the way, he also helped to bring 5 original crystals. He started by absorbing one crystal every 4 days, resting for 4 days, and then continuing to absorb the next crystal, using the original crystals at a steady pace.

There were no transactions for the next month.
Jin focuses on evolving and growing.
Dafeng traveled to Mount Suoyu, befriended the Zerg warriors on nearby mountains, and inquired about the God-given Seed, preparing to further expand trade with Mount Suoyu as the center.

Just two days after I left, the strong winds came back.

"Jin, there are rumors about you everywhere. I suspect there are insects trying to harm you!"

"Harm me? Who? What rumors?"

"I don't know who it is. Now everyone is saying that the King of Eshu Insects doesn't know how to dig up ruins at all, and only found the ruins with the help of the little purple spider."

"..."

This is not a rumor, it is the truth.

Such rumors have spread everywhere, which is obviously a sign that there are disgruntled insects within the King of Eurasia's excavation team who are deliberately spreading them.

The target should be the King of Curcuma zedoaria, not gold.

"fine."

Jin waved his paw indifferently.

"fine?"

Da Feng said, "Is this some kind of insect deliberately trying to sow discord between you and the Eshu Insect King? The Eshu Insect King is angry, so you won't be involved in digging up the ruins anymore. Moreover, the trade with the Great Poison Armor Tribe may be affected."

"It's not that serious. It won't be."

Jin paused to think, then said, "Dafeng, this is a good thing. I've gained some fame, and more insects on the island know about me, which will make future transactions easier."

"Of course, Da Feng, your concerns are not without merit. Be smart. If any insects ask about this, just say that the ruins were all thanks to the Eshu Insect King, and that we were just passing by and joined in the fun. We happened to see two alien civilization characters at the Huangtan Mountain ruins on the Twin Islands of Saluo, and told the Eshu Insect King. The clever and generous Eshu Insect King gave me a share of the profits afterward."

After thinking for a moment, Da Feng replied, "I understand..."

...

The strong winds set off again.

He would come back every three to five days, bringing back some news.

At the time, the excavation team consisted of twenty Zerg warriors, and it seemed that more than one Zerg was 'spreading rumors'; the news had even reached the Twin Islands of Salo.

The reputation of the Curcuma zedoaria king seems to be quite bad on Ivory Island.

Following Jin's instructions, Dafeng went around clarifying the situation, but no insects believed him. They preferred to believe that it was the mutated purple-haired spider that led them to the ruins.

Jin simply ignored it.

...

Time flows quietly,

Two bottlebrush trees planted outside the cave and beside the courtyard are sprouting flower spikes.

The new year has arrived.

Pokeweed, 12 years.

1 month 8 day.

Jin went to Apple Mountain early in the morning to bid farewell to the Secret Order Ant King.

The Great Poison Armor Tribe of Partridge Mountain has a Golden Leaf Nanmu tree that has been cultivated into a wild divinely bestowed seed. The tree is about to ripen and be harvested for trade.

After the transaction was completed, Jin headed directly to the Azure Shark Port dock to wait for the cargo ship that had been going to the Southern Continent to return, so he could board the ship back to the Flame Spider Kingdom.

After returning, organize an annual meeting for company members to review last year's achievements, plan for the coming year's work, and prepare inventory for the next year's transactions.

Stay at Mount Sikui for a month to rest.

In mid-February, the trading caravan set off for the southern mainland, and Jin then traveled by boat to Ivory Island.

...

Partridge Mountain

There was no discernible pattern; a black mountain was studded with all sorts of weapons, one here and one there.

Jin had already become familiar with the Great Poison Armor Warriors on the mountain, and knew the way well. He headed straight for the garden on the western side of the mountain peak, where the divinely bestowed seeds were being cultivated.

The high-altitude reconnaissance flight was brought down vertically by strong winds.

"Jin! I saw the King of the Curcuma Insects, it's guarding the Golden Leaf Nan..."

Before he could finish speaking, the spiritual power of the Eshu Insect King suddenly emerged.

"Little Spider, come here. I need to talk to you about something."
