Chapter 255: Red Epic Fire Source Rarity
Chapter 255: Red Epic Fire Source Rarity
However, this is not enough. As the only item capable of accelerating a secret realm, Void Crystals are indeed a resource that all medium to large powers and civilizations in the Shattered Star Sea cannot refuse.
However, only Void Crystals of the Fourth Rank and above can be considered hard currency, with their value barely acceptable.
Those Void Crystals of the Third Rank and below are not as valuable and must be in large quantities to be useful.
Based on this, Song Chi plans to visit the ancient star battlefield again in the next few days to acquire a few of those ten-thousand-meter ancient corpses as a reserve.
After all, they were once Fifth-Rank beings. Even if they have lost a lot of life energy over the long period, their current value still far exceeds that of Fourth-Rank Void Crystals.
However, this is just his initial idea. He doesn't recognize these ancient corpses, and there are no records of them in the tens of thousands of years of Torch Human Civilization. A creature capable of actively hunting a fleet of the Three-Eyed Royal Clan—how could it be simple?
Song Chi is concerned about the potential major implications behind "them." It would be best if they didn't exist, but if they do, that would be a big problem.
Once exposed, the entire Song Clan would be drawn into an unknown and terrifying vortex.
Even though the Shattered Star Sea is vast, the possibility of such a coincidence is almost zero, but Song Chi cannot afford to be unprepared.
Over the endless ages, the number of paths deployed by the [Bodhi Inheritance Tower] is not small, and the number of aliens it can gather is similarly large. There might be clans or civilizations related to those ten-thousand-meter ancient corpses.
"If there isn't any extremely rare material or rarity, there's no need to bring out those ancient corpses. It's better to let the family internally digest them..."
...
At the Blue Moon Estate, in the courtyard of Uncle and Aunt, Song Ming Song, Bai Xiu Qin, Song Shan, and Song Chi gathered.
Song Chi's gaze turned to his grandfather, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He was called over while preparing to activate a new Alien Star Domain deployment...
Before he could speak, Song Ming Song handed him a bright red crystalline core.
"A Third-Rank Blood Core!"
Song Chi was delighted and immediately recognized it.
"This is specially obtained from the Ancestral Line. I estimate your flagship is about to ascend."
"Thank you, Grandfather..."
Without hesitation, Song Chi accepted the special material needed for the Cobalt Number's ascension. He knew how rare these blood cores were. The Ancestral Line controlled a Bloodline Continent of no small rank, but he had previously made multiple requests, all of which went unanswered.
Not every vampire can form this thing, and the probability is extremely low. Adding the Third-Rank restriction makes it even rarer.
Seeing Song Chi's reaction, Song Ming Song smiled and said, "It's good that it's useful to you. But Grandfather reminds you, while your flagship has formidable combat power, the promotion from a frigate to a cruiser is not a game. Before activating the promotion task, make sure you are fully prepared. As for the [Three-Eyed Spirit Ring], you should know how to use it..."
Song Chi nodded, understanding his grandfather's meaning.
He shouldn't rely on the Cobalt Number's combat power and take the promotion task lightly. It would be best to return to the Ancestral Line to activate it, with the already successfully ascended [Furious Battle Lion] as a safeguard, reducing the risk of accidents to the minimum.
The [Three-Eyed Spirit Ring] can only be used once the ship has confirmed its ascension, otherwise, it will affect the Cobalt Number's combat power.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, don't worry, I understand!"
...
In the sky above, after leaving the Blue Moon Estate, the Cobalt Number immediately activated the latest Alien Star Domain deployment.
In the ancient star battlefield, several Third-Rank peak humanoid aliens commanded a large number of asteroid belt creatures to continuously push forward against the surrounding ancient corpses.
This was an order Song Chi had given months ago, but the progress was extremely slow. The first two ancient corpses were relatively close, but now, opening a safe route to the third ancient corpse within a short time is not simple.
Even Song Chi speculated that even if the entire star domain is completely swallowed by the void rift, this third route might not be established.
However, he did not pin his hopes on these humanoid aliens and asteroid belt creatures. His target this time is the ancient corpses around the wreckage of several ordinary Three-Eyed Clan warships he explored before.
Months ago, the Void Shadow Killer Puppets had already established corresponding safe zones around these areas. Now, Song Chi only needs to use the [Void Escape Pearl] component to teleport the Cobalt Number to the corresponding safe zones and then scale and pull the ten-thousand-meter ancient corpses.
This process is not as simple as it sounds. It has been months, and whether those areas are still safe, and whether the previous safe zones need to be expanded, all need to be confirmed.
However, with the [Brainwave Remote Control System] + [Fixed Point Deployment Platform] + [Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Tree] components, these are not major issues.
The only drawback is that the [Fixed Point Deployment Platform] is only of blue quality, and it can only deploy a maximum of four puppets at a time, with a long cooldown period. After just a few rounds of deployment and teleportation, the 24-hour return limit has arrived.
However, the [Spatial Beacon Emitter] component has completed its cooldown. The next time he comes, he can set the spatial anchor point on the Longji Continent, freeing him from the 24-hour return limit.
Fortunately, he managed to obtain two ten-thousand-meter ancient corpses. If he really encounters something desirable around the [Bodhi Inheritance Tower], he will have some trading capital.
...
It has been two days since returning from the ancient star battlefield, and today, Song Chi plans to open a new Market Ruins transaction.
Deep in the Market Mystic Realm, in front of the Level 28 [Ultra-Long-Range Spatial Gate Random Deployment Platform], as Song Chi activated the configuration, hundreds of white rays shot up from the deployment platform, and an equal number of spatial vortex gates appeared at the Market entrance.
As expected, the first to appear in the Market was the gnome Luke. Over two years, he has already tasted the benefits of Market transactions. Now, it's not just the Terra Stones; he also exchanges various resources from the aliens during each Market transaction.
After completing the Terra Stone transaction, Luke excitedly headed to the free market area. Besides the most important Terra Stone transaction, what Luke is most interested in is the free market area because he can always find various bargains there, fulfilling his sense of satisfaction and gaining tangible benefits.
In the free market area, after ten minutes, the Market has already welcomed many aliens, and the number of stalls in the market area has gradually increased.
(End of Chapter)Compared to Gnome Luke's excitement, Song Chi looked somewhat hesitant, at least on the surface.
"Please believe me, as long as I can get the blessing of the law, I can at least get two 3,000-year-old Fire Hawthorn fruits, and one of them will be given to you as a reward."
In front of him, a Fire Elemental life form stood, emitting a fierce aura. Song Chi heard a serious tone in its strange voice.
He didn't answer immediately, but thought carefully.
The other party wanted to borrow the "Market Travel Permit", and not only was the value of the permit itself high, but also the consequences of breaching the agreement would be severe.
Firstly, it could be confirmed that the Fire Elemental life form was eager to find him and propose borrowing the "Market Travel Permit", so it was likely that the Fire Hawthorn fruit was also true.
Secondly, it could be confirmed that the Fire Hawthorn fruit was just a bonus, and the Fire Elemental life form's true goal was something else.
As for what its true goal was, that remained unknown.
Song Chi's eyes flashed.
"I need to know your true intentions!"
The Fire Elemental life form's flames danced rapidly, but before it could speak, Song Chi said again:
"If you're not willing to tell me, then go find someone else..."
The Fire Elemental life form's flames danced more rapidly, and it was clear that it was struggling internally.
Song Chi was not surprised, as there were only two "Market Travel Permits" issued by the market, and the other one was with the Star Source Empire's Alon.
After a while, the Fire Elemental life form spoke again.
"I can tell you, but after hearing it, you must lend me the Market Travel Permit!"
Song Chi was eager to get the 3,000-year-old Fire Hawthorn fruit, so he agreed.
He handed over the Market Travel Permit, and the Fire Elemental life form immediately turned around. Song Chi reminded him:
"Remember, you only have 23 hours, and you must return on time..."
This was just a pretense, as Song Chi could recall the permit at any time.
After the Fire Elemental life form left, Song Chi felt a sense of excitement.
The 3,000-year-old Fire Hawthorn fruit was a rare treasure, and with it, he could accelerate his progress in the Guiding Technique.
He had planned to spend 10 years or more to reach the third rank, but with the Fire Hawthorn fruit, he might be able to achieve it in just a year or less.
"Hope it succeeds!"
Song Chi secretly prayed for the Fire Elemental life form's success.
He sensed that the Market Guest Permit had been activated, and the market's law enforcement power had been bestowed upon the Fire Elemental life form, raising its aura from the second rank to the third rank.
"So fast, it seems they had planned it out in advance, so the success rate should be high..."
To be honest, Song Chi had high expectations for this market transaction, but unfortunately, he had not encountered any special resources or rare materials.
Twenty hours passed quickly, and just as the market was about to close, the Fire Elemental life form reappeared.
As soon as they met, Song Chi asked anxiously:
"How was it? Did you succeed?"
The Fire Elemental life form returned the Market Travel Permit and then took out two bright red fruits.
"Successful, as promised, one is the reward, and the other you can exchange for equivalent fire-attribute materials."
Song Chi took the two Fire Hawthorn fruits and sensed their energy, confirming that they were indeed around 3,000 years old.
He then took out a large amount of fire-attribute materials from his storage capsule and exchanged them for the fruits.
After the transaction, Song Chi asked:
"What about the other thing? What was your true goal?"
The Fire Elemental life form hesitated for a moment before taking out an object.
As soon as Song Chi saw the object, his heart skipped a beat.
"Red Fire Seed..."
The object was a Fire Seed, emitting a fierce red glow.
Upon closer inspection, the Fire Seed's attributes appeared.
【Artifact: Extreme Yang Flame】
【Quality: Red】
【Convertible: {Flame Heart Fire Source}】
【Note: A Fire Seed born from the Extreme Yang Flame of the Fire Elemental world after thousands of years, finally becoming a Red Epic-quality Fire Seed.】
Song Chi's heart was racing with excitement, as this was not only a Red Fire Seed but also a convertible Fire Seed that could be transformed into an upgraded Fire Source.
