Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1079: Chapter 712: Primordial Crystal_2

Dragon Cypress curved its tentacle, touching the perception.

Inside the transparent Primordial Crystal, tree root-like purplish-red Original Energy Patterns were woven, holding special Primordial Energy equivalent to two or three Primordial Crystals.

With head lowered, the Shanglu Divine Pattern shined, a Primordial Gemstone dropped to the ground with a resounding chime.

A comparison of the two.

In terms of Original Energy content, the Primordial Gemstone was ten thousand times of the Primordial Crystal, they were not in the same tier.

In terms of quality, the strange energy contained within the Primordial Gemstone was also much thicker and purer than that of the Primordial Crystal, slightly higher grade.

Fish Vine introduced: "The latest development from Dawn Star System is the ’Primordial Crystal’, selling for 3000 Primordial Crystal per piece. Chairman Giant Taro was so generous, gifting me one piece!"

Short Horn, who rarely spoke nonsense, said leisurely: "Dragon Cypress, if you can’t afford the Primordial Gemstone, you could buy me two pieces of Primordial Crystal."

"Get me three pieces."

"I want ten pieces."

"I am Divine Grade, give me ten thousand pieces."

"Buy! Buy! Buy!"

The surrounding spiritual powers of Divine-Given Seed swarmed over, clamoring noisily.

Dragon Cypress shook its tentacle, saying: "The item is not worth 3000 Primordial Crystal. Compared to the Primordial Gemstone, the value of the Primordial Crystal should be at 1000 Primordial Crystal."

Fish Vine: "The cost of goods is 1500 Primordial Crystal, shipped from Dawn Star System, freight is 1500 Primordial Crystal. Luoli Chamber of Commerce doesn’t make a single Primordial Crystal."

— Who believes?

— Damn profiteers!

— The cost should be 1000 Primordial Crystal, shouldn’t it?

— How could the freight be so expensive?

The crowd of trees, upon hearing the item sold for three times its true value, started cursing straight away.

Short Horn attempted to envelop the Primordial Gemstone with spiritual power, pulling it towards itself.

Dragon Cypress swayed a tentacle, dispersing Short Horn’s spiritual power, lowered head, Shanglu Divine Pattern flashed, keeping the item, meanwhile asking:

"Fish Vine, have you inquired? How was this thing made?"

"Heard it’s from the tribe of Emerald Gem Beetle, Overlord Redbud comprehended the formation process of the Primordial Gemstone, simulated and developed a Law Ability named ’Primordial Seed’. A regular Primordial Crystal, injected with a bit of ’seed’, piled in mass, on first, second, and third level Origin Point Planets to create a vein, buried and nurtured over ten thousand years, can then metamorphose into a Primordial Crystal."

"The Emerald Gem Beetle tribe is naturally skilled in such works. It’s said that most beetles above the Habitat Realm in the Emerald Gem Beetle tribe can learn this ability of ’Primordial Seed’, enabling mass production."

White Poplar asked: "Mass production? How much?"

Fish Vine: "A single vein can bury hundreds of millions to billions of Primordial Crystals infused with ’Primordial Seed’. Specific count depends on the origin point level and geographical environment."

"!!!"

The crowd of trees erupted in astonishment.

Dragon Cypress was also amazed and envious inwardly, though not surprised.

In the Universe Starry Sky, various moneymaking ventures exist, among which specializing in abilities related to assisting Origin Force Plant growth and evolution, and the manufacture of related items, is one of the most profitable trades.

In the Insect Clan Civilization, any Insect Clan Warrior is willing to pay a hefty price to invest in their Origin Force Plant, aiding its growth.

The Origin Force Plant grows, producing higher quality Origin Force Food, return favor to Insect Clan Warrior, aiding their growth.

Mutual benefit.

Dragon Cypress also masters such auxiliary abilities: Mark of Flourish, Tranquility, and ’Spring of Life’ formed by the combination of Sea Spring and Water of Life.

But still far from making money,

Firstly, the evolution level is insufficient, power is inadequate, ability effect is mediocre, countless insects possess similar abilities, not rare, not valuable.

Secondly, need certain material as carrier, transform into marketable goods, and achieve long-term preservation.

...

Spring blossoms of February,

Living in the upper layer, sleeping ants were awakened by noise.

Rainbow Mulberry listened to the conversation, feeling the matter significant, rapidly woke up all other Insect Clan Warriors, gradually assembling.

Tie Bush enthusiastically introduced the source of ’Primordial Crystal’ to everyone.

The insects passed and examined, marveling.

Fish Vine continued explaining: "The Star Spiders traveling between Venus Star System and White Crystal Star System carried Insect Clan Warriors on their way there, returned loaded with Primordial Crystals. Some remain, most were sent to the Home Planet."

"The Star Spiders traveling to and from Dawn Star System are different, without Insect Clan Warriors developing over there, resulting in losses every trip. Upon returning, not required to transport Primordial Crystals. Therefore, during the journey, Luoli Chamber of Commerce extensively purchased Origin Force Food, processed and stored, sent to Dawn Star System for sale, while returning, conveniently delivered a batch of local specialties for sale."

"The Plumed Cockscomb was transformed into a mobile market, capable of selling goods and purchasing needed good items. Everyone can go have a look. Chairman Kansui and Chairman Giant Taro have already notified the Flames of the Chamber of Commerce, informed Insect Clan Warriors of all five planets. Go late, might need to queue."

Short Horn asked ghostly: "Fish Vine, didn’t you say Luoli Chamber of Commerce doesn’t profit?"

Fish Vine: "Indeed not profiting. But not running for nothing either."

— Only fools believe this.

— That silly Spider really believed it.

The crowd of insects and trees sneered with contempt.

Dragon Cypress commented: "Compared to the Primordial Gemstone, the actual value of the Primordial Crystal is only 1000 Primordial Crystal. But how many insects can afford a 1.5 billion to 2 billion per piece Primordial Gemstone? The advantage of Primordial Crystal lies in its small quantity and flexibility, slightly affluent insects are capable of purchasing. With more insects in demand, price increase is normal. 1500 to 2000 Primordial Crystal per piece is appropriate, 3000 is too expensive."

"... Perhaps."

Fish Vine was very displeased with everyone’s attitude, retracted the Primordial Crystal, packed it into a Spider Silk Bag, hid it in the mouth.

White Rice suddenly jumped in excitement, asked: "Fish Vine, the Star Spider was transformed into a trading market? Luoli Chamber of Commerce extensively purchasing Origin Force Food?"
