Dragon Cypress: "It's not a big problem. With a bit of luck, I'll evolve to the 9th Age Period within 10 years. Then, in the 9th Age, it'll take about 30 years more for the God-Given Life Seed to grow strong. All in all, we won't really lose many years."
Black Birch raised a claw as a gesture and said, "The key issue is, Divine-Grade Wangbai Seeds are just too low in yield, aren't they? By the rules, upon advancing to King-Level, the first fruiting takes one year, the next nine fruitings take four years each? That adds up to 37 years! And just one seed for all that!"
Cypress: "Yeah, exactly..."
Tie Bush asked cautiously, "Great King, does that mean we won't even get to eat any?"
Dragon Cypress: "The truly good stuff always has to meet the needs within the kingdom first."
