Warm spring.
The black peach tree seeds gathered last year are sown.
All failed.
Dragon Cypress makes trip after trip transporting black peach saplings to Cold Orchid Mountain, with Black Cory directing the worker ants to plant them, continuing to expand the scale.
Once the work is done, black peach blossoms bloom.
Dragon Cypress brings Blue Catalpa along and heads to Purple Tung Insect Nation to swiftly complete the grafting of Mutant Dome-Leafed Berberis branches.
Then they rush to Black Fruit Mountain, pick up Chinese Clematis, and return to Xianglan Mountain to organize this year's roving merchant trade.
...
Silvergrass waits alone at the crevice entrance, with piles of spider silk bags filled with Source Stones stacked like mountains nearby.
Red Peach isn't here, no need to ask, it's definitely out rushing to deliver Source Stones.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"
"Chinese Clematis."
"Fragrant Cypress, Spiked Cypress, Cypress."
