The mountainside was ablaze with flowers in full bloom, signaling the annual time for trade with the caravans.
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid made quick preparations and set off three days in advance.
This year, they were selling 700 Fruit-Scented Orchid Seeds to the caravan, and a jar of Origin Force Ant Honey worth 1,000 Source Stones, to be used by White Ivy as a promotional sample.
It was better to be safe than sorry, so Ink Orchid hid deep within the Starship.
Dragon Cypress went ahead to survey the hillside.
Seven-Leaf Mountain Lord spotted Dragon Cypress first and rose unhurriedly, took a walk, casually ascended the mountain, crossed the hill, and went straight to the forest behind it.
After a long wait, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, carrying a petite Spider Silk Bag, hurried over.
"Are you two being overly cautious?" Seven-Leaf Mountain Lord said half-jokingly, then added, "High-quality Fruit-Scented Orchid Seeds, and you're really only allocating 100 to me?"
