Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 562 - 541 Divine Grade Presale: Crimson Moss Beetle King

Chapter 562: Chapter 541 Divine Grade Presale: Crimson Moss Beetle King

Yuezuo Mountain.

...

Currently, the Origin Force Honey operated by the White Ivy-Melde Caravan uses Bee King Jelly for sealing, mainly provided by the Sun Burying Bettle Tribe. In addition, the Golden Peach Bettle King also custom-manufactures exquisitely crafted and top-quality metal cans.

At the same time, Yuezuo Mountain is also the largest purchaser of Origin Force Honey.

Each year, the caravan brings back Origin Force Ant Honey worth about 23 million Source Stone from the Ten Thousand Nations Continent. Of this, a solid 10 million is sent to Yuezuo Mountain, plus deals worth as much as 4 million Source Stone in Divine-Given Origin Force Food and Bee King Honey.

After completing the transaction with the Golden Peach Bettle King, the caravan’s carapaces are almost completely emptied.

Red Peach and the Magnolia-Bark Leader balance the accounts.

Lupine, Grass Dragon, Silvergrass, and Column Spotted sort out the Divine-Given Origin Force Food purchased, assigning delivery tasks.

Melde and White Ivy, together with the Golden Peach Bettle King, lounge under the Jili Divine-Given Seed tree, chatting idly around a gleaming golden metal table.

The Golden Peach Bettle King opens a big jar of Ant Honey, takes an exquisite little golden plate, pours and serves, inviting Melde and White Ivy to taste it together.

"Lord White Ivy, Lord Melde, every time you arrive early like this, it’s either to borrow our Origin Force Peak for evolution, or you have some sort of treasure and want to avoid the Revolve Spider King. So what’s the reason this year...?"

Melde: "White Ivy needs to use your noble ground to evolve her Stage 5 Lord form."

"Oh—"

The Golden Peach Bettle King asks in puzzlement, "But Lord White Ivy doesn’t evolve easily. Did you get your hands on something good again this time?"

White Ivy: "Something truly marvelous!"

Melde: "The Crimson Moss Bettle King might be interested, so I trouble you, Golden Peach Bettle King, to help spread the word..."

The Golden Peach Bettle King waves her antennae, feigning displeasure, and asks, "What’s this treasure? Do you think I, the Golden Peach Bettle King, can’t afford it? Or am I not qualified enough?"

"No, no."

Melde hurriedly explains: "It’s called a ’Divine-Grade Molan Seed,’ which grants a vision-based ability called ’Sun Scorch’..."

...

...

...

On Moon Peach Peak, where the Crimson Moss Bettle King lives,

a morning shrouded in clouds and mist.

White Ivy has completed her molting evolution and steps out of the cave.

"Lord White Ivy, how did it go?"

"My most most most respected elder White Ivy, did you succeed in comprehending the ability?"

Lupine and Grass Dragon rush over first.

The Magnolia-Bark Leader, Red Peach, Silvergrass, and Column Spotted, stationed nearby, all gather around.

Melde and the Crimson Moss Bettle King, who’d been chatting, stand up and cast inquiring looks.

"Ability comprehended successfully!"

White Ivy keeps it short and to the point.

The Magnolia-Bark Leader warmly calls out: "Lord White Ivy, food’s ready. Please fill up first."

White Ivy: "Great! Let’s eat and then test it out."

After a quick meal, restoring some Primordial Energy, they all head up to the summit.

Looking out, mountains ring the horizon.

The Magnolia-Bark Leader surveys the landscape, raising a claw to point the way, "Lord White Ivy, look over there, the tallest peak—that’s Longwu Peak! At its foot is a Longwu Grape Divine-Given Seed planted, can you see it?"

"Let me try!"

White Ivy says, focusing intently, narrowing her eyes for a long-distance gaze, brownish-purple Primordial Energy bursts from her eight eyes and rapidly expands, forming a web-like octagonal concave Primordial Energy Barrier.

The span is over 50 meters.

All incoming light is fully absorbed.

The red and purple Primordial Energy in White Ivy’s eight eyes flickers and flows, shining on and off.

This lasted seven or eight seconds,

White Ivy withdrew the energy, exclaiming in surprise: "This ability is amazing!"

"Magnolia-Bark, I didn’t spot the Longwu Grape Divine-Given Seed you mentioned! But I did see the plaza midway up the mountain, ha, there’s a little Burying Bettle getting beaten up!"

"A plaza? A Little Warrior getting beaten?"

The Magnolia-Bark Leader mumbles: "I must have gotten the directions wrong. The Longwu Grape Divine-Given Seed is planted on the other side."

It’s obvious that the Magnolia-Bark Leader is a bit skeptical and tried to verify slyly.

The Crimson Moss Bettle King gently taps her antennae.

Melde, Red Peach, and company say nothing.

White Ivy, apparently unaware, asks excitedly, "Anything else you want me to look for, Magnolia-Bark Leader?"

Magnolia-Bark Leader: "No more. The mountains just aren’t high enough to see far. If you had a flying ability, Lord White Ivy, and could use your power from the heights of the sky, now that would be impressive."

"Right!"

"I need to ask around: aside from the Winged Gourd, is there any other ability out there that can make a spider fly~"

White Ivy mutters, gently turning as she looks toward the east...

"The morning sun isn’t all that blinding, huh..."

White Ivy waves her front feet, "Everyone back up, let me give this a try!"

All the insects exchange perplexed looks.

—Does the Natural True God really live on the sun?

—Should we check?

—Other insects have tried it; except for the glare, there’s no other issue...

Curiosity quickly took the lead.

"Be careful!"

Melde warns, stepping quickly backward.

All the insects fall back.

White Ivy steadies herself and activates her power.

The Primordial Energy Barrier expands.

The Primordial Energy Barrier collapses.

"Ah~"

"My eyes~"

White Ivy screams, clutching her eyes with her forelegs, spinning around on the spot.

—White Ivy?

—Is she blind?

—Lord White Ivy?!

—Are you okay?

There doesn’t seem to be any other danger.

The other insects gather around her.

White Ivy quickly regains her composure. After a moment of utter stillness, she finally recovers, sighing: "The name ’Sun Scorch’ couldn’t be more accurate; I almost burned my eyes out."

Magnolia-Bark Leader: "Did you see anything?"

White Ivy: "...Didn’t see a thing."

"Sun’s not a problem, but don’t even think about trying it on the moon!"

Melde warns sternly.

"Like I need you to tell me?"

White Ivy shrugs it off, turning to ask the Crimson Moss Bettle King, "Crimson Moss Bettle King, what do you think of this ability?"

"Very impressive!"

The Crimson Moss Bettle King tilts her head slightly, instructing the Magnolia-Bark Leader at her side: "This ability really burns through physical strength. Magnolia-Bark, go hunt some more food."

Time to get down to business~

The Magnolia-Bark Leader agrees with a reluctant, "Oh—"

Melde also adds, "Red Peach, Lupine, you two head down the mountain and meet up with the Revolve Spider King. White Ivy and I will be along shortly."

Red Peach, Lupine, and the others all respond in agreement.

They watch everyone head down the mountain trail.

White Ivy takes the initiative, "Crimson Moss Bettle King, you saw it—’Sun Scorch’ is on par with ’Soul-Setting,’ each being a top-level reconnaissance ability with their own use. The Origin Force Star Realm is too small and constrained by space, so these powers can’t fully spread out, but out in the Outworld, they’ll definitely shine."

The Crimson Moss Bettle King touches her antennae in agreement, not beating around the bush and going straight to the point: "Lord White Ivy, Lord Melde, how do you plan to sell it—will you trade, or price it in Divine-Given Origin Force Food...?"

Melde says: "Crimson Moss Bettle King, I’d also like to trade for a Divine-Grade Fruit that grants Fire Element Talent."

White Ivy: "One-for-one direct exchange, however many you can get, that’s how many we’ll trade. Crimson Moss Bettle King, if you can get one, we’ll sell you a Divine-Grade Molan Seed at the lowest price of 6 million per seed, priced in Divine-Given Origin Force Food. If you manage to get more than five, we’ll gift you one seed free."

Melde adds, "Divine-Grade Fruits with Fire Element Talent will not be sold by our caravan; for internal use only. Crimson Moss Bettle King, you can just watch us eat them."

The Crimson Moss Bettle King considers briefly, but still shakes her antennae, "Lord Melde, I can probably help you get one more, but any more than that is not possible."

The Crimson Moss Bettle King continues, "Your price is fair. I’ll help you trade one Divine-Grade Fruit with Fire Element Talent, and then buy one more for myself at 6 million."

The Crimson Moss Bettle King adds, "Let’s keep it like this for now, and see how things go moving forward."

"Thank you for your help, Crimson Moss Bettle King!"

White Ivy and Melde express their gratitude.

The caravan is earning plenty these days, and more and more at that. Both White Ivy and Melde are holding back, doing their best to ensure they get to consume their favorite Divine-Grade Fruit before each evolution stage.
