Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 585 - 552 I am Extraordinary by Nature, Different from Ordinary Spiders_3

Dragon Cypress asked, "That Divine-Grade Leizhe Fruit..."

The Snow Velvet Spider King replied, "12 million Source Stones. I got it from another Spider King, and the price was increased once."

The Snow Velvet Spider King then asked, "What are the prices like in the Northern Hemisphere? How much for a Divine-Grade Leilian Seed?"

Dragon Cypress explained, "Ink Orchid and I bought one for 10 million Source Stones, which also involved giving up the trading rights to a Divine-Grade Molan Seed. If we want another, it might cost us a sky-high price of 14 million, because it was resold twice in the meantime."

The Snow Velvet Spider King asked, "What about the Mountain Pillar Fruit?"

Dragon Cypress said, "The Mountain Pillar Fruit goes for 6 million Source Stones. Our own Divine-Grade Molan Seeds start at 5 million, and our caravan sells them for no less than 6 million. Items like the Thousand-Layer Fruit and Zhifeng Fruit, we purchase for 3 million Source Stones each."

The Snow Velvet Spider King mused, "Then the prices on both sides are roughly the same. Your Northern Hemisphere prices are even slightly lower. In the Southern Hemisphere, when our caravan sells Divine-Grade Molan Seeds, the starting price should be 8 million Source Stones, and it usually goes higher. The Thousand-Layer Fruit can definitely be sold for 5 million. The Zhifeng Fruit might be slightly cheaper, around 3 to 4 million."

The Snow Velvet Spider King continued, "There is a price difference between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, which could be profitable, but I do not recommend reselling. Trading a few Divine-Grade items is fine. However, if a large quantity of produce from plants not found in the Southern Hemisphere suddenly appeared, it would definitely arouse suspicion among perceptive insects."

The Snow Velvet Spider King stated, "I am under orders from our Ancestral Land to oversee the inter-dimensional passage on Rainbow Island. Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid, if you enter the Southern Hemisphere to purchase some resources needed for Evolution, that's certainly fine, and I can assist you. However, you must not reveal the existence of this passage..."

The Snow Velvet Spider King raised a claw towards the moon and said, "Clearly, that is a passage left for the continuation of our Flame Spider Kingdom—an existence not permitted by the Natural True God. Once too many insects become aware of it, the passage will undoubtedly disappear."

Dragon Cypress said, "Understood!"

Ink Orchid chimed in, "We trade with the Flame Spider Roving Merchant in the Northern Hemisphere, so we definitely don't lack regular Divine-Given Origin Force Food. We are just here to exchange for some necessary Divine-Grade Fruits."

The Snow Velvet Spider King said, "For exchanging Divine-Grade Fruits, just come to me!"

Ink Orchid asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, are there any particularly powerful Divine-Grade items here in the Southern Hemisphere?"

The Snow Velvet Spider King replied, "Of course, but they are mostly geared towards combat. For example, the Silver Leaf Tree produces Silver Leaf Fruit, which grants a Thunder System Ability called 'Touch of Silver Light'..."

As he spoke, the Snow Velvet Spider King raised a foreleg and gently prodded forward. A streak of bright silver lightning sliced through the darkness, flashing momentarily before disappearing.

The Snow Velvet Spider King continued, "It's an extremely simple yet highly penetrating Thunder System attack Ability. At the same Evolution Level, it's basically an instant kill. The Origin Force consumption is minimal, making it one of the most practical combat Abilities."

The Snow Velvet Spider King added, "There's also the Fire System. The Festival Tree produces Festival Fruit, granting an Ability named 'Origin Fire.'"

As he spoke, he swiped a claw, and a ball of pale fire shot out.

The fire landed on the sea's surface and, astonishingly, blazed fiercely upon the water.

The Snow Velvet Spider King explained, "Ink Orchid's Water Creation Ability is powerful because it is an Origin Force Creation. Conversely, this 'Origin Fire' causes matter to vanish into nothingness, making it seem as though anything can be ignited and burned. It's a Fire System Ability with unlimited potential for enhancement."

Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, and Black Birch were awestruck. This ability was truly powerful.

Dragon Cypress asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, can Starship materials be burned by it?"

The Snow Velvet Spider King replied, "Theoretically, yes. But our Evolution Levels are too low, so it's not feasible."

Ink Orchid asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, how much does the Divine-Grade Festival Fruit sell for?"

The Snow Velvet Spider King answered, "It's rather expensive, priced at 12 million Source Stones. Divine-Grade Fruits are rare. Under ordinary circumstances, you can't buy them with Source Stones alone. More often, it involves bartering based on mutual needs, with appropriate compensation for any price difference. If you use your Divine-Grade Molan Seed, a one-to-one exchange will suffice; I won't make any profit from it. If you need one, inform me ten or twenty years in advance so I can arrange the supply."

"Excellent!" Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid exclaimed, overjoyed. "Thank you, Snow Velvet Spider King!"

The Snow Velvet Spider King said, "It's a small matter. At our level, Source Stones are largely extraneous. Self-improvement is the core; it's best if we all help each other by exchanging what we have for what we need."

In the distance, on the sea's surface, the pale fire still burned fiercely.

With a mere thought from the Snow Velvet Spider King, the flames extinguished.

Ink Orchid eagerly asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, are there any other particularly powerful Divine-Grade items?"

The Snow Velvet Spider King replied, "There are many powerful ones, but perhaps not 'especially' more so in the way you mean. For instance, there's one from the Special Ability System. It transforms the pancreas, enabling it to store Origin Force, which increases the Origin Force Energy reserve by an additional 30% to 100%. What do you think of that?"

"Excellent!"

"Powerful!"

"We definitely need that!"

Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, and Black Birch answered in unison.

The Snow Velvet Spider King then asked, "What about Wood Element Abilities? Assistive ones for managing territories—do you need those?"

"Yes, we do!" Dragon Cypress exclaimed.

"Very much so!" Ink Orchid added.

The Snow Velvet Spider King elaborated, "The Black Ink Tree produces Black Ink Fruit. It comes from the territory of an old friend in the Shanglu Primitive Spider Tribe. This fruit grants an Ability named 'Red Crow Pattern.' Specifically, it involves activating Wood Primordial Energy to leave an Origin Force pattern imprint on a tree trunk. This imprint continuously works, allowing the plant to grow normally while making its branches, stems, and roots harder, and its leaves more resilient. It enhances the plant's resistance to physical damage, diseases, drought, waterlogging, and harsh climatic conditions."

"That's a fantastic item!" Dragon Cypress exclaimed.

Ink Orchid asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, when was the most recent harvest of these? Dragon Cypress has an Assistant King who has Awakened a Wood Element Talent and could use it..."

Black Peach and Black Persimmon could use it, Ink Orchid thought. And Mountain Persimmon too. Mountain Persimmon has long desired an assistive ability for managing territories. Finally, there's an option!
