Chapter 15 Creating a Humus Culture Pool

Lord Purple Plum decided to increase its investment in the three little ones. It looked at Purple Pearl and said, "Purple Pearl, I will give you 2 Primal Stones every year from now on. Buy more God-given Primal Force food for the little warriors to speed up their growth. We must not delay their evolution."

Zizhu nodded her antennae: "I know the importance of this matter."

"The Seed of God consumes a lot of energy in its initial stage, so we need to use more Primal Stones to replenish its Primal Power, and it also needs to be properly nourished."

Zizhu said, "The Lord of Zima Mountain has awakened earth-type abilities. It can use tree fertilizer to make fertile humus. I asked it to help make a large fermentation tank so that the life seeds of Zihuai and Ziai can also use it."

"Yes, I'm relieved that you've arranged it this way."

"The life seed nurtured by the yew's life sac is extremely important now. Each time a life seed is nurtured, it means that a divinely bestowed seed can be born. We can't be as careless as before."

"We understand." Fortunately, the yew tree nurtured a male mulberry tree that could serve its purpose. If it had just chosen some herbaceous plant like plantain or purslane to nurture, the output value would have been dozens or even hundreds of times lower, which would have been a huge loss.

Lord Zili looked at King Qingzhujia: "King Qingzhujia, if the yew can continue to nurture the divinely bestowed seed, then firstly we should select top-tier tree species for nurturing, and secondly, we should select tree species that are useful to our Double-Forked Rhinoceros Golden Tortoise tribe, right?"

Qingzhu Jia Wang responded matter-of-factly, "That's only natural; this is how we maximize profits."

"Then I would like to ask King Qingzhu Jia to find a way to collect some top-quality tree species and give them to the yew trees to cultivate in order of their age."

"Don't worry, I'll find a way. The Flame Spider Merchant's Claws have many top-grade tree species. I'll see if I can get some from their claws."

Lord Zili said with some concern, "The Flame Spider Merchant is not someone you can easily talk to."

King Qingzhu made the final decision: "Leave the matter of the yew seed to me! However, before I find a Flame Spider merchant to exchange for a top-tier tree species, you must first prepare all the seeds needed for its initial stage of development."

"Yes, the yew tree at the 1-year age will produce male mulberry trees, the 2-year age will produce female mulberry trees, and I will try my best to find large trees with tiny seeds to nurture it from the 3rd to the 9th age."

"Alright, the yew is now the hope of the tribe. You all need to keep an eye on its growth. Also, keep your mouths shut. Don't tell any insects about the yew's life sac being able to nurture the divinely bestowed seed, except for the few of you."

The insects assured, "King Green Bamboo, rest assured, we will keep our mouths shut."

After learning about the situation here, King Qingzhu did not linger and flew directly back to the main peak to find a way to collect top-quality tree species for the yew.

Seeing that the Green Bamboo Armor King had left, Lord Purple Plum shook his tentacles and said, "Purple Plum, go to my place and get the Primal Stones and the Divine Primal Force Food."

Purple Pearl, put aside matters within your territory for a while and focus on taking good care of these three.

"Purple locust, purple artemisia, and yew, in the coming days, I will try my best to purchase as much divinely bestowed primal force food as possible for you to accelerate your evolution."

"Yay, evolve, evolve!" the three little ones cheered excitedly.

……

Purple Pearl acted quickly. Before Lord Purple Plum could even deliver the divinely bestowed food, it invited Lord Purple Hemp Mountain to begin creating a humus cultivation pool at the boundary of the three little ones' destinies.

At the foot of Ziling Peak, where the three little ones' life-sustaining seeds were planted, Zizhu marked out an area with a diameter of 100 meters for the Zima Mountain Master to plan a humus cultivation pool.

This left the Purple Hemp Mountain Master completely bewildered: "Purple Pearl, are you sure you need such a large-scale humus cultivation pond?"

"I'm sure," Zizhu said. "Let's make the humus cultivation pool bigger first. After the three little ones grow up and the life seeds are planted one by one, we can just come here to dig up the soil. That way, we won't have to make one every now and then."

The owner of Zima Mountain advised, "Once their life seeds are planted one after another, they will be further and further away from here, and it will be more troublesome to collect soil then. It would be better to make a few smaller ones and spread them out a bit, so that it will be easier to dig the soil."

"Let's leave it at that for now, there are three insects among them."

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, the owner of Zima Mountain stopped talking. He figured he would just do whatever the client asked, since he wasn't doing the work for free.

However, it only charges a service fee among its own kind.

A circle with a diameter of 100 meters has a considerable area, nearly 8,000 square meters.

Such a large area requires a lot of work, but their tribe has many spare Zerg warriors, so the Purple Hemp Mountain Lord directly invited two high-level Double-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors to come and help with the work.

The two double-forked rhinoceros beetle warriors lowered their large horns, like two large soil turners, and continued to till the land within a radius of 100 meters.

At the same time, the owner of Zimashan also brought over the rotten wood that he usually kept on hand, as well as various leaves that he had stored up during the fall of autumn, and mixed them into the turned soil.

The Purple Hemp Mountain Lord only stopped moving after the two double-forked rhinoceros tortoise warriors had turned nearly two meters of soil within a hundred-meter radius that Zizhu had selected into loose soil.

Then it used the original power of the soil system to solidify the edge of the humus cultivation pool and build a smooth earthen wall that is half a meter above the ground.

However, the matter did not end there. In the following days, the owner of Zimashan brought basket after basket of earthworms and poured them into the humus cultivation pond.

The most valuable part of this humus cultivation pond is these earthworms. With these earthworms, as long as the pond is maintained regularly and covered to prevent direct sunlight, all you need to do is add leaves, decaying wood, and some leftover food scraps, and these earthworms will continuously produce high-quality humus.

After spending three days completing the task, the Lord of Purple Hemp Mountain asked Purple Pearl for 1500 raw stones, and then gave each of the two high-level warriors 100 raw stones.

The three little ones were extremely envious of the powerful wealth-creating ability of the Purple Hemp Mountain Master.

Keep in mind that this is a discounted price among members of the same race. If you were to ask other Zerg warriors for help, the price would likely double.

Actually, turning over the soil and using earth and stone abilities to make a pool isn't expensive. What's expensive are the rotten wood and leaves. This is what the Purple Hemp Mountain Lord collects little by little, either by himself or by hiring little warriors, and spends a lot of time processing them, letting them rot away little by little. All of that costs raw stones.

The most valuable thing is those baskets and baskets of earthworms, which are the source of wealth that it has cultivated little by little over the years.

It created a super-large earthworm breeding pond, which can produce countless earthworms every year. Zerg warriors from other tribes often come here to buy earthworms.

After completing the humus cultivation pool, Lord Zili also collected enough divinely bestowed food suitable for the Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors and sent it over.
