Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1038: Chapter 699: Primordial Gemstone (2)

"Secondly, there are naturally derived primordial crystal ore deposits, which have relatively stable and abundant output."

"Additionally, a First Level Source Point can also develop Mining Stars, nurture ore deposits; the model is somewhat complex, and the output varies greatly..."

Chairman White Ivy paused and continued: "For example, manufacturing Star Spiders, as well as the Primordial Energy Metal used in Starship core components. Various metal ore deposits randomly derive and take millions, tens of millions, or even over hundreds of million years of Primordial Energy Breeding to form."

"Our Insect Clan Warriors certainly don’t have such long lifespans, but we can pass it down through generations."

"For instance, I purchase a Mining Star located at a First Level Source Point, valued at ten trillion. I manage it for 100,000 years, and if I no longer want it or urgently need resources for other matters, I can sell it to you for eleven trillion. You take it, manage it for another 100,000 years, and if you don’t want it anymore, you can appraise and sell it again."

"Passed down from generation to generation. The value is there, and over time, it steadily appreciates, guaranteed profit."

"The actual situation is more complex. For example, purchasing a Mining Star, waiting for 100,000 years, or hundreds of thousands of years for a batch of Primordial Energy Metal or primordial crystal veins to mature for harvesting, allowing self-extraction and collection. At this time, the Mining Star’s price would fall."

"..."

Time span is that long?

The insects listened in silence.

Chairman White Ivy: "Of course, the Universe Starry Sky still contains various primeval Mining Stars. Such Mining Stars might have mature ore deposits ready for extraction."

Fish Vine raised its claw and eagerly said: "A primeval Mining Star might also yield the most precious Primordial Gemstone! I’ve seen one!"

"Indeed!"

Chairman White Ivy said: "For our Insect Clan Civilization, Primordial Gemstones are the most precious and in-demand treasures. They contain unique Primordial Energy Power that can be absorbed by Origin Force Plants."

"If used on Common Life Seed Plants, it can enhance their Life Level, making them close to a Divine-Given Seed."

"Indirectly, there are two benefits: firstly, it can accelerate the evolution and growth of Common Life Seed Plants; secondly, it can enhance the quality of the Origin Force Food produced by Common Life Seed Plants."

— There’s such a good thing?!

Several uneducated insects excitedly jumped up, like the Second King...

Ink Orchid raised its claw and asked: "Chairman White Ivy, what about using it with Divine-Given Seeds?"

Chairman White Ivy: "It can also bring comprehensive enhancement to Divine-Given Seeds, accelerate evolution and growth, and increase evolution potential."

Ink Orchid followed up with: "What about Divine Grade Divine-Given Seeds?"

Chairman White Ivy: "Divine Grade Divine-Given Seeds and Law Divine Trees might also get a nice boost, but they are already high-level Origin Force Lifeforms, so the effect isn’t as pronounced as it is with Common Life Seed Plants and Divine-Given Seeds."

"Wow—"

Ink Orchid and some other insects cheered.

"..."

Most insects led by Dragon Cypress remained calm.

Knowledge recorded in Inherited Memory.

This stuff only derives near First Level and above Source Points and takes a particularly long time.

In the New Cosmic Era, it can only appear on ’primeval Mining Stars.’

A so-called primeval Mining Star is where, in Cosmic Space, a Source Point evolves at a certain location, coincidentally with a planet deriving nearby.

Dense Origin Force combines with matter, undergoes long-term evolution, and breeds various Primordial Energy Materials.

Primordial Gemstones do not form deposits, randomly distributed sparsely, and primeval Mining Stars are also very rare.

Dragon Cypress asked: "Fish Vine, have you seen a Primordial Gemstone?"

"I have!"

Fish Vine excitedly said: "Thirty-four years ago, when I and Chairman White Ivy visited the Scorpion Bug Tribe on Flying Wing Star, Chairman White Ivy arranged for me to wait at Trade Plaza 1001. With no tasks, I went to visit Chairman Kansui at the Luoli Chamber of Commerce stationed site.

I saw with my own eyes, Chairman Kansui using a Primordial Gemstone to feed his Life Seed. I asked him where it came from. He said it was the salary from guarding the Venus Star System, issued every five thousand years, with only two pieces each time."

Ink Orchid urgently asked: "How much primordial crystal is it worth per piece?"

Fish Vine: "I also asked. Chairman Kansui said, not for sale!"

"..."

The insects fell silent.

Silvergrass explained: "Indeed, no Primordial Gemstones are for sale here in the Venus Star System."

Poison Bean followed: "Certainly, the Main Star System produces and trades them, but specifics are unknown."

Dragon Cypress activated the Super Brain, searched Inherited Memory, and questioned: "After the Scar Realm, can Flame Spider Roving Merchant’s Life Seeds also evolve into complete Origin Force Life?"

Fish Vine replied: "Yes! Now our Life Seeds are rooted and growing. This process takes as short as three thousand years to as long as five thousand years. If there were a Primordial Gemstone, it would greatly reduce the time needed for soul nurturing, consciousness derivation, and spiritual power development. It can also enhance the Life Seed’s power!"

Ink Orchid pressed down Dragon Cypress and eagerly asked: "Power? What kind of power?"

Fish Vine replied: "Flame Spider Roving Merchant’s Life Seeds have three main functions: The first function, storage for Primordial Energy and Energy, supplying our Flame Spider Warriors as needed; the second function, as combat weapons, amplifying various abilities’ power; the third function, as auxiliary tools for building the Star Network."

— Is this truly the case?

— Inherited Memory does not mention this.

— Then Flame Spider Roving Merchant’s Life Seeds evolved into a strange lifeform akin to Artifact!

— Incredible! Incredible!

A round of clicking tongues in amazement.

The insects’ thoughts still linger on Primordial Gemstones.

Blue Catalpa raised its claw and posed a question: "Everyone says, if I and Snakebark Maple use a Primordial Gemstone to enhance and upgrade ordinary Green-Red Kiwifruit Life Seed, then pollinate with male Green-Red Kiwifruit Divine-Given Seed, wouldn’t the resulting kiwifruit’s quality rival Divine-Given Origin Force Food."

Snakebark Maple hoped: "If possible, then I and Blue Catalpa would be prosperous!"

— This is an obscure but thoughtful question.
