Chapter 246: Genealogy Upgrade · Excellent Life Forms of the Star Ocean

Song Chi decided that after the transaction, he would post the information of the ten major direct lineages, two main lineages, ancestral lineage, and collateral relatives of the family on the Longji Continent Forum, along with detailed purchase posts for the corresponding herbs, spiritual fruits, and other items. This information would include purchase prices, detailed catalogs, and purchase restrictions.

Through this method, Song Chi hoped to attract more people to participate in the purchasing work, so that not only the tenth direct lineage, but also the family's ten major direct lineages, two main lineages, ancestral lineage, and numerous collateral relatives, would all be able to respond and take on this task.

Because the family's population was enormous, even the most developed ancestral lineage had people who were struggling to make ends meet. These individuals were different from those who had the support of their elders, and their spaceship configurations were ordinary. Every time they explored the star domain, it was a gamble with their lives on the line.

In comparison, this risk-free material collection work that could earn them a considerable amount of resources was something they desperately yearned for.

...

On the other side, Zhou Ping entered the rare item exchange shop and found it difficult to tear himself away. He was drawn in by the red and orange lights emanating from the rare item cabinets on the top floor.

"Red-quality heavenly materials and earthly treasures!!"

Zhou Ping's heart was racing with excitement. If it were in the past, when he was just a small outer sect disciple, he might not have understood the significance of red-quality heavenly materials and earthly treasures. But now, he was a renowned disciple of the Heavy Sword Peak, and his perspective was no longer the same as it was two years ago.

The only information he had heard about silver-quality heavenly materials and earthly treasures was from the Taiyi Sect. The cultivation world had long rumored that the Taiyi Sect possessed a ancestral artifact that had been passed down for over 10,000 years, known as the Taiyi Honghuang Tower, which was forged from red-quality heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

...

Finally, Song Chi decided to focus his attention on the market below after the transaction, and discovered that he had met the requirements to upgrade to level 28.

"Actually, I've met the requirements to upgrade to level 28..."

Song Chi felt a small sense of excitement. It had been a while since the market had upgraded to the second stage, but compared to the first stage, the difficulty of upgrading had increased significantly, leaving him eager to see what changes would come with upgrading to level 28.

(The chapter ends here)

However, if the Market Ruins were to ascend to level 28 now, it would mean that it would only need to be upgraded by one more level for the Market Ruins to attempt a Third-Rank promotion.

Thinking of this, Song Chi naturally felt excited.

Compared to the reinforcement of various components of the Cobalt Number, the major rank promotion of the Market Ruins was clearly more important.

Apart from the fact that his cultivation of the Dark Energy Guiding Technique was closely related to it, there was another crucial reason: each major rank promotion of the Market Ruins brought about significant changes.

He remembered that when it ascended from Zero Rank to First Rank, it gained two new abilities: the Market Guest Permit and the Spatial Anchor Point.

When it ascended from First Rank to Second Rank, it gained the Market Travel Permit and the Spirit Machine Synthesis Platform.

Reflecting on it now, which of these four new abilities wasn’t extremely impressive? Because of this, Song Chi had always had great expectations for the Market Ruins’ Third-Rank promotion.

"I hope it can ascend as soon as possible..."

With a casual gesture, he reinforced the Market Ruins itself, as well as the All-Attribute Training Room, the Ultra-Long-Range Spatial Gateway Random Deployment Platform, and the Dark Energy Protection Formation, all to level 28. Then, Song Chi returned to the Free Trade Area.

He summoned the Cobalt Number again.

Two minutes later, the orange-quality Taiyi Soul-Stabilizing Stele component was reinforced all the way to level 40.

Checking its attributes, the soul-stabilizing aura it emitted had officially reached the Fourth-Rank level. The “Soul-Stabilizing Stele” characteristic, which could condense an illusory soul-stabilizing stele in his Flame Seed Ancestral Aperture, had also reached the Fourth Rank, sufficient to resist Fourth-Rank divine soul attacks and invasions.

In addition, the Soul-Stabilizing Mark characteristic, after being reinforced to the Fourth Rank, had its effective range increased from 3 meters to 300 meters. For star sea combat, this was still somewhat negligible, but it was certainly better than before, even if only marginally.

Initially, he had intended to continue reinforcing this component, but after checking the remaining Titanium Crystals in his possession, he decided to stop.

Although, including the 1000 Titanium Crystals that Zhou Ping had previously provided, he now had a little over a thousand Titanium Crystals, the issue was that the Light Energy Aggregation Engine component still needed further reinforcement.

Previously, to balance the energy supply for the Cobalt Number, this component had already been reinforced to level 44.

However, with the Silver III Generation Ultrasonic Mana Detection Radar component reinforced to the Fourth Rank, and the previous Taiyi Soul-Stabilizing Stele, the current energy supply was once again insufficient. He could only continue to reinforce the orange engine component.

Since the Fourth-Rank Floating Continent Essence and law stones were still sufficient for the time being, Song Chi decided to reinforce the Light Energy Aggregation Engine to the maximum level 49 that the current ship hull could support.

After being reinforced to level 49, the energy efficiency of this component was significantly improved, and he wouldn’t have to worry about the ship’s energy supply for a short while.

However, Song Chi wasn’t overly pleased about this, as the current surplus in energy supply was based on the premise of not adding any new high-rank components.

In other words, if he were to obtain high-quality, continuously energy-consuming ship components in the future, he wouldn’t be able to load them at will, and even if he did, he couldn’t reinforce them to too high a level, otherwise, the Cobalt Number would face an energy supply shortage.

Thinking of this, Song Chi furrowed his brow.

"Either I need to expedite the Cobalt Number’s promotion to a cruiser and my Flame Seed to orange quality, or I need to quickly activate the acceleration of Chikura’s 004 Cultivation Secret Realm to fully restore that Sixth-Rank Silver Apple..."

His mind raced, and two solutions surfaced in his heart.

If the Cobalt Number were promoted to a cruiser and his Flame Seed reached orange quality, the various components on the ship could continue to be reinforced to the Fifth Rank, thereby naturally solving the energy supply issue.

And that large Sixth-Rank Silver Apple could enhance the Light Energy Aggregation Engine component from orange to red. At that point, even if the reinforcement level remained unchanged, the energy efficiency would be significantly improved.

Song Chi rubbed his forehead, realizing that both options actually needed to be prioritized.

As long as the Cobalt Number didn’t promote to a cruiser and his Flame Seed didn’t reach orange quality, the Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Tree component couldn’t be reinforced to the Fifth Rank. To continue exploring the remains of the Trieye Clan flagship, he had to act quickly.

As for the acceleration of the Cultivation Secret Realm, it was a free acceleration with a fixed cooldown time. The sooner he used it, the sooner it would cool down. Every day of delay was a waste of time.

However, the realm acceleration in the Dragon Blood Realm was about to end, so the second option could be officially activated soon.

Counting his resources, he had less than seven hundred Titanium Crystals left, a little over a hundred strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Continent Essence, and exactly 25 law stones remaining.

After some thought, to be on the safe side, Song Chi reinforced the Taiyi Soul-Stabilizing Stele a few more times.

He upgraded it to level 44.

Although the soul-stabilizing aura and the soul-stabilizing stele it condensed were still at the Fourth Rank, there were differences even among Fourth Ranks.

After level 44, this soul-stabilizing aura and the illusory soul-stabilizing stele could resist all ordinary Fourth Rank divine soul influences. As long as it wasn't a peak Fourth Rank divine soul attack, it would be very difficult to harm him.

...

At the Blue Moon Estate, in the courtyard of Uncle and Aunt Song, Song Chi met Aunt Song again. He originally planned to use the Blood Bodhi and Spirit Tempering Fruits as soon as possible during these few days. However, considering the millions of mid-to-low-grade Blood Bodhi he had, he felt it would be better to hand them over to the pulse elders first.

When she received the Blood Bodhi piled up like a small hill, Zhao Hongxue was not particularly surprised. Song Chi often pulled off such large-scale actions, and she was somewhat used to it.

However, it wasn't a freebie. Since these were considered public assets submitted to the pulse elders, even though the pulse elders had nothing to compensate with at the moment, the contributions to the pulse elders still had to be accounted for.

For example, the hundreds of Titanium Crystals that Song Chi previously withdrew from the public assets had deducted his contributions accordingly.

Seeing the several million pulse elders' contribution points added to his account, Song Chi didn't mind. The pulse elders had just started, and the Roaring Lion Ship had used up a lot of items during its promotion. The public mystic treasury didn't have many good things left, so Song Chi estimated that he wouldn't be able to use these several million contribution points anytime soon.

However, he still went to the mystic treasury for a look, and it turned out to give him a small surprise.

In the mystic treasury, he found a useful item: a palm-sized Tianlong Crystal. This item was one of the four special resources that might be needed when a frigate ascends to a cruiser, and it was a relatively rare one. He had never seen it in the family achievement tower.

Song Chi directly exchanged it for 30,000 contribution points.

With this Tianlong Crystal, the Cobalt Number had gathered two of the four special resources needed for its cruiser promotion: the Tianlong Crystal and the Ten-Thousand-Year Volcanic Lava Iron Mother.

The two missing resources were Ice Source Stone and Third-Rank Blood Core.

For these two remaining resources, Song Chi had been acquiring them in the Market Ruins for a long time, but there had been no results.

The Third-Rank Blood Core was better; it was a crystalline substance that could form within the bodies of creatures that followed the blood path. He heard that the ancestral line controlled a Blood Continent, where the dominant race was the famous Vampire race. As long as he took the initiative to ask the ancestral line, he had a chance to obtain it.

However, the Ice Source Stone was different. It could only be found in special extremely cold continents, making it a very rare material.

After leaving Uncle's courtyard, Song Chi returned home. He didn't worry too much about the Ice Source Stone. Although it was rare, it wasn't so rare that it would take a century to find. As long as he continued to increase his offer in the Market Ruins, acquiring it wouldn't be a problem.

The most important thing now was to use the Blood Bodhi and the two Spirit Tempering Fruits he had obtained long ago.

Using the Blood Bodhi was simple; he just needed to swallow it. This substance melted in the mouth and had a slight sweetness.

Song Chi was a Second Rank life form, so he could only use Second Rank Blood Bodhi.

The first Blood Bodhi, once swallowed, felt like drinking a sip of naturally sweet spring water. However, this was just the first impression. Soon, Song Chi found that his entire body's blood seemed to be boiling. In just half a minute, his body temperature doubled.

This situation lasted about two minutes. When the boiling sensation subsided, Song Chi returned to his normal state and used the second Blood Bodhi.

After five consecutive Blood Bodhis, Song Chi began to feel a full-body ache, and a thick layer of black, sticky substance accumulated on his skin.

His intuition told him that this was his body's limit. Continuing to swallow Blood Bodhi would be harmful rather than beneficial.

Although it felt like a letdown, Song Chi, as the person involved, had a different feeling. Even though he had only swallowed five Blood Bodhis, he could clearly sense a comprehensive enhancement in his body.

This feeling was hard to describe.

In short, it was as if he had replaced his body. If before taking the five Blood Bodhis, his body was like that of a 50-year-old middle-aged person, now Song Chi felt as if he had returned to his 30s, the peak of his physical condition.

Of course, this description was based on the average human from his previous world, Blue Star.

"This is the body of an excellent Star Sea race. Indeed, it is much stronger than ordinary races."

Muttering to himself, Song Chi quickly washed his body and hurried back to the Market Ruins. He wanted to try practicing the Dark Energy Guiding Technique to see what changes would occur.
