Chapter 72 Planting the Divine Seeds of Red Cherries

At the end of April, as soon as Zishan felt that the life sac in her body was no longer absorbing primal energy, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked Zihuai and Ziai to prepare food so that she could break through and evolve.

Seven months have passed, and it has already eaten enough of the Force food needed for evolution. Now, evolving is no problem at all.

Purple Artemisia guarded outside the nest, while Purple Locust flew to Lord Purple Plum's territory to inform him of its arrival.

When Lord Purple Plum arrived, Yew had already eaten a lot of food and entered the nest chamber to begin evolving.

Lord Zili asked somewhat anxiously, "Zihuai, Ziai, are you sure the divine seed in the Zishan life pouch is complete?"

"It should be completed. After all, more than seven months have passed, and so much primal energy has been supplied every day. If it weren't for the assistance of many life seeds, we probably wouldn't have been able to nurture it even if we had exhausted ourselves."

"That's true." Lord Zili felt relieved when he thought about the amount of Origin Force Zishan had consumed during this period.

During this period, the seventeen life seeds in Zi Ai's territory, plus the life seeds of Zi Shan that did not produce fruit, had to supply Zi Shan with primal energy for two or three hours every day, which, when converted into primal stones, was worth more than three thousand.

Over the course of more than seven months, they consumed 3,000 primal stones every day, totaling more than 600,000 primal stones.

If the yew tree were to accumulate its primal force slowly on its own, it probably wouldn't be able to absorb so many primal stones in its entire life.

The evolution of an intermediate-stage insect warrior in its early stages only takes two or three days. Lord Zili is too lazy to fly around in such a short time and simply waits here.

The yew tree has consumed enough divinely bestowed food, so its evolution should proceed without any problems.

As the yew trees grow older, Lord Purple Plum no longer cares much about their early evolutionary stages, allowing them to focus on their own evolutionary timeline.

However, this time the situation is different. The seed that the yew is nurturing this time is very likely a divinely bestowed seed that has been doubled and divinely bestowed. It wants to see what the difference is when this divinely bestowed seed consumes so many raw stones.

Inside the nest, Yew spent two days completing its evolution and successfully advanced to the fourth-year intermediate warrior stage.

It shed its old shell and crawled out of the nest, where Zihuai and Ziai readily took out food to feed it.

After it had eaten its fill, Lord Purple Plum came up to it and looked at it: "Purple Fir, take out the divinely bestowed Red Heart Cherry Seed from your life pouch and let me see it."

Zishan took out the divinely bestowed seed of red cherry from his life pouch, which had been gestating for more than seven months. Lord Zili then handed him a fragrant wood seed and accepted the divinely bestowed seed of red cherry.

Upon closer inspection, it discovered that the shell of the Divinely Gifted Red Cherry still only had pale silver Force patterns, seemingly no different from before its formation.

After looking at it several times with a puzzled expression, it reluctantly handed the seed back to Zi Ai, who was standing nearby, and let her hold it.

"Plant the Red Cherry God-given Seeds quickly. The Yew has been delayed for too long in the intermediate stage. I will continue to provide some Force food to help it grow quickly. At the same time, Zi Ai, you can also advance to the advanced warrior stage."

"Understood." Zi Ai was the happiest when Zi Shan was promoted to intermediate warrior.

It could have advanced to a high-level warrior along with Zihuai last year, but in order to assist Zishan in nurturing the divinely bestowed seed, its evolution time was delayed by more than half a year, which was quite unfortunate.

In fact, Lord Purple Plum was also very happy. He had raised them for so many years. The initial stage was fine, but in the intermediate stage, all three of them ate food given by the gods, which was quite costly.

Moreover, it's impossible for it to completely ignore the other warriors on Purple Ridge; it spends about 100,000 raw stones every year.

As the yew and purple locust trees gradually enter the advanced stage, they no longer need its resource support, and its pressure is greatly reduced.

In a year or two, when the yew trees also advance to advanced warriors, it will no longer need to be responsible for their growth costs.

This is the twelfth life seed nurtured by the yew tree. Each divinely bestowed seed requires a radius of 500 meters to supply it with the primal force.

In other words, a single divinely bestowed seed requires nearly one square kilometer of vacant land, and it consistently occupies an area of ​​ten square kilometers.

Lord Greenfruit built a total of 18 greenhouses for the yew, enough for it to use until the advanced stage. It only needs to plant them one by one in order.

The yew planted the divinely bestowed seeds of red cherry, and then watered and fertilized them as usual. In just two days, it grew to half a meter tall.

It then grew to over 1 meter tall within a week, during which time Lord Purple Plum never stopped checking on it. But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find any difference between it and other divinely bestowed seeds.

In terms of growth rate, the growth rate of the divinely bestowed seed is naturally faster than that of ordinary life-giving seeds. It is within the normal range for it to grow to more than 1 meter tall in a little over a week.

Left with no other choice, Lord Purple Plum could only instruct the yews to take good care of the divinely bestowed seed and wait until the tree had grown in two years before making any further plans.

Once the yew seed has stabilized, the purple wormwood immediately evolves.

It took three days for it to successfully advance to the rank of advanced warrior. From then on, all three brothers except for Zishan were able to survive independently.

After Zi Ai was promoted to a high-level warrior, Lord Zi Li allocated a five-square-kilometer piece of land to her next to the original Zi Zhu territory, which is now part of Zi Huai's territory.

Standing on this uncultivated land, Lord Zili instructed, "The three of you, I will allocate 15 square kilometers of land to you. Whether you choose to manage it independently or separate and manage your territories at the end of the year is up to you."

It takes at least ten years to advance from the advanced warrior stage to the mountain lord level. You can manage your territory here for ten or twenty years first, and then you can go to the Thousand Star Islands to divide up your territory after you advance to the mountain lord level.

"Once we get there, I'll reallocate another ten to twenty square kilometers of land for you."

Land on Banana Island is scarce, with little open space available. However, on the Thousand Star Islands, the island they plan to occupy is quite large, and there are no other Zerg warriors on it.

As long as they can manage it, at least ten square kilometers can be allocated to them.

"Thank you, Lord Zili!" the three brothers shouted, raising their paws.

Of the ten square kilometers allocated to them by the Purple Plum Lord, five square kilometers were land that Purple Pearl had cultivated for twenty or thirty years. The distribution and planning of the plants on it were already close to perfect, and it only needed to be slightly maintained during the flowering and fruit and vegetable seasons.

The five square kilometers of land now allocated to them are overgrown with weeds and low trees, a desolate wasteland.

However, if the three of them work together, the cultivation will be much faster.

Once the yew trees reach an advanced stage, allocate another five square kilometers to them, bringing the total to fifteen square kilometers, which will be sufficient for their advanced stage use.

After all, their management style is different from that of bees and ants. Bees and ants emphasize extensive management, simply sowing seeds, letting them grow into plants, collecting nectar in spring, and harvesting fruit in autumn.

The advantage of doing this is that the territory that can be managed is very large, but there are too many uncertainties. Even if a divinely bestowed seed is born, it is very easy for it to be snatched away by birds and beasts during the flowering and fruiting period.

They employ intensive farming methods, cultivating small areas to ensure the maximum possible discovery and harvest of divinely bestowed seeds.
