Chapter 268: Red Component [Spirit Eye Gaze]
Chapter 268: Red Component [Spirit Eye Gaze]
Returning to his personal courtyard, Song Chi didn't rest immediately. Instead, he summoned the Cobalt Number right there in the courtyard.
Once inside the warship, he walked straight to the [Bodhimanda Meditation Seal] component that had already been installed. With a thought, he activated the "Meditation Seal·Inner·Time Speed" characteristic of this Golden Sanctum component, specifying the [Enslavement Badge]'s "Enslavement Seal: Frenzy" characteristic as the target.
(P.S.: There was an error earlier. The buffer time for "Central Star Fracture" is 21 hours. In non-emergency situations, there's no need to use this meditation seal; it can cool down on its own.)
Currently, apart from this characteristic, the only other active feature on the Cobalt Number was the "Realm Accelerator" of the cultivation secret realm. However, since the "Realm Accelerator" was still in effect, the "Meditation Seal·Inner·Time Speed" couldn't be triggered.
Additionally, the "Bodhimanda Timefield Slow" characteristic of the [Bodhimanda Meditation Seal] component itself had yet to be used, making it unavailable as well.
With the idea of using it early to get it cooled down sooner, Song Chi first applied the "Meditation Seal·Inner·Time Speed" characteristic to the "Enslavement Seal: Frenzy."
With the characteristic effect activated, the "Enslavement Seal: Frenzy," which originally required nearly six months to buffer, was reduced to less than 36 days.
After handling this, Song Chi wanted to enter the Market Ruins to check what rarities the three Fire Chrysanthemum Puppets had brought back. However, a sudden, intense fatigue overcame him, forcing him to put it aside. He quickly returned to his bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.
This deep sleep lasted for 18 hours. When Song Chi woke up the next day, he was fully refreshed.
Without hesitation, he went to the Market Ruins after washing up.
In the Multiverse Market, at the inn on the third floor, the three Fire Chrysanthemum Puppets that had successfully entered the Market were his primary targets. The few [Market Travel Permits] lost in the star domain where the [Bodhimanda Inheritance Tower] was located had already been recalled by Song Chi and were now quietly floating in their respective travel rooms.
Song Chi's current goal was the three travel rooms into which the three Fire Chrysanthemum Puppets had successfully teleported. Inside these rooms were unknown quantities and qualities of Star Sea rarities waiting for him to inspect.
As soon as he entered the first travel room, apart from the silver travel permit floating in the center of the room, Song Chi immediately noticed two rarities on the floor.
The two rarities emitted blue and orange radiance.
The Orange Glory rarity was fine, but the blue rarity clearly surprised Song Chi.
However, there was no other way; in that situation, he could only make the puppets grab the nearest items.
Upon closer inspection, the blue rarity turned out to be a common ship hull armor component, of little value, which Song Chi dismissed immediately.
The orange rarity, on the other hand, had decent attributes and could be converted into a secondary cannon of the same quality.
Crimson Fire Sky Curtain Cannon lv0
Quality: Orange
Characteristic: Crimson Fire Sky Curtain
Characteristic 2: Secondary Cannon Power Increase 45%
Consumption: 5 per shot (Mana Points)
Power: 6.2
No Buffer or Recharge Required
Upgrade Required: 10 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Zero Rank), 1000 Mana Points, 10kg of Crimson Flame Iron
Crimson Fire Sky Curtain: Each hit on an enemy unit has a 5% chance to trigger the "Crimson Fire Sky Curtain" effect (Crimson Fire Sky Curtain: centered on the triggering unit, a burst of scorching crimson fire energy radiates, burning all within a 50-meter radius without distinction).
This secondary cannon component was clearly a range attack type, and the Cobalt Number was indeed lacking a secondary cannon. Moreover, the blue-quality "Electromagnetic Thunder Light Cannon" was no longer sufficient for the Cobalt Number. This was a component that met a current need.
Song Chi was quite satisfied with this outcome. Even if the other two travel rooms didn't yield any high-quality rarities, just this [Crimson Fire Sky Curtain Cannon] alone was enough to meet the minimum expectations, especially considering it was just a casual attempt. To get an orange-quality, top-tier secondary cannon was more than satisfactory.
As if to validate his thoughts, the second travel room contained only one blue-quality rarity.
At the door of the last travel room, Song Chi pushed it open with anticipation.
Although he had already secured the minimum, he couldn't help but hope for more high-quality rarities.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he opened the door, a brilliant red light caught his attention.
In this travel room, the rarity brought back by the Fire Chrysanthemum Puppet was a red epic-quality rarity.
Feeling a great surprise, Song Chi took a quick step forward.
Soon, the detailed attributes of this rarity appeared before his eyes.
Rarity: Spirit Testing Stone
Quality: Red
Convertible: {Spirit Eye Gaze}
Note: A rarity once used by a lost civilization to test the talents of its clan members. It was later recorded in the [Bodhi Inheritance Tower]. It is a rare epic rarity.
Skipping over the other details, Song Chi's gaze focused intently on the "Convertible" section. Soon, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
The "Spirit Eye Gaze" in the "Convertible" section was a ship component, and it was a relatively rare air patrol radar.
A red-quality air patrol radar—imagine its attributes, which would undoubtedly be more powerful than the [Silver III Generation Ultrasonic Mana Detection Radar].
His gaze sharpened, and the attributes of the ship component also appeared.
Spirit Eye Gaze lv0
Quality: Red
Trait: Detection range increased by 110%
Trait 2: Detection priority +1200
Trait 3: Spirit Eye Gaze
Consumption: 40/s (Mana Points)
Detection Range: 50 light-seconds
Precision: 500
Upgrade Required: 20 strands of Zero Tier Floating Land Essence, 2000 Mana Points
{Spirit Eye Gaze: Consume 10000 Mana Points, after 30 minutes of charging, perform a spiritual gaze within 1/10 of the air patrol radar's detection range, actively searching for all white Star Sea rarities within that range. Cooldown time: 240 hours.}
Song Chi's eyes widened, and a glint of joy flashed in them. Without a doubt, this [Spirit Eye Gaze] was the pinnacle of air patrol radars. Not only did it have the rare traits of increasing detection range and boosting detection priority, but its "Spirit Eye Gaze" trait was crucial for any Flame Torch Warship.
This trait could pinpoint the presence of Star Sea Floating Continents, significantly increasing the harvest of a Flame Torch Captain during exploration in alien star domains. Although it could currently only search for white rarities, it was clearly a growth trait. As long as the enhancement level was increased, it would be able to detect blue, purple, and even orange rarities.
The only downside was that it lacked the "Starmap Collector" ability, which would make it impossible to casually leap to star domains outside the detection range during future explorations.
However, as a red radar, it had the trait of increasing detection range. Once the enhancement level was raised, the detection range would far exceed that of the [Silver III Generation Ultrasonic Mana Detection Radar]. At that time, the distance the warship could leap would still be considerable.
As for the "Mana Detection Trait" of the [Silver III Generation Ultrasonic Mana Detection Radar], Song Chi planned to acquire a specialized ground detection component later.
Although he was extremely satisfied with this [Spirit Eye Gaze] air patrol radar, Song Chi couldn't install it immediately. The [Silver III Generation Ultrasonic Mana Detection Radar] was already at the Fourth Rank, and the resources spent on its enhancement were considerable. He would need to apply to the family for the use of the [Three-Eyed Spirit Ring] later.
As the one who had submitted this clan component, he had the priority to apply for its use, so he didn't need to worry about any hassle.
...
After leaving the inn, Song Chi did not leave the Market Ruins but instead walked to the deepest part of the market and initiated a new transaction, which had already cooled down.
Of course, before this transaction, Song Chi went out for a while. When he returned, the Cobalt Number was already filled with various herbs that had been categorized.
These were herbs that his parents had recently acquired at a low price from the family and the lineage. As long as Zhou Ping could take all of them, they would earn at least several million strands of Zero Tier Floating Land Essence.
In addition, there were quite a few seeds of various Floating Continent plants acquired by Uncle Song. However, since the acquisition only started a month and a half ago, the quantity was not significant.
In the cultivation shop of the Multiverse Market, Song Chi, who looked like a Four-Armed Blueblood Clan member, was arguing with Zhou Ping over the acquisition price.
At this moment, he was using the identity of a successful [Market Travel Permit] holder, so he didn't have to worry about "affecting the overall prestige of the market." This allowed him to haggle freely.
"3 million strands of Zero Tier Floating Land Essence? No way, I collected these with great difficulty. It has to be 5 million!"
On the opposite side, Zhou Ping was also unyielding, arguing reasonably:
"5 million strands is too high. You need to understand that only I am willing to buy these. If I don't want them, you'll have to dump all these herbs."
Song Chi, however, wasn't buying into this act.
"Not interested? The profit behind this must be quite substantial. Where else could you get such a quantity besides me? However..."
He deliberately paused, waiting until he had successfully piqued Zhou Ping's curiosity before continuing:
"If you can trade all with Second-Rank or higher Floating Continent Essence, I can proactively lower the price to 20,000 strands of Second-Rank Floating Continent Essence!"
As he spoke, Song Chi's expression remained unchanged. This was actually his ultimate goal.
He already had tens of millions of Zero-Rank and First-Rank Floating Continent Essence, far more than he needed. What he wanted were Second-Rank and higher Floating Continent Essence.
At least, with a higher proportion of Second-Rank Floating Continent Essence, there was a chance to exchange for Third-Rank Floating Continent Essence in the outside world, which would help him further digest the Zero-Rank and First-Rank Floating Continent Essence in his possession.
Zhou Ping's eyes flickered for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the large quantity of medicinal herbs Song Chi had. He nodded in agreement.
After the transaction was completed, Zhou Ping tentatively asked:
"Blue-blooded brother, I wonder if you can continue to supply these in the future?"
Anticipating this question, Song Chi pretended to be hesitant, pausing for a while before replying:
"Obtaining these is not easy. You know, I've been observing your herb acquisitions for some time, and in the end, I could only gather this much. Although it does earn a lot, it's too troublesome..."
Hearing his reluctant response, Zhou Ping seemed somewhat unwilling and continued to plead:
"Even if the quantity is less, I'll still acquire them. How about this, in the future, I'll try to trade more with Second-Rank and Third-Rank Spirit Energy, and if the Sect Master agrees, even Fourth-Rank... Floating Continent Essence!"
Song Chi, who had been waiting for this, feigned hesitation for a while, and in the end, pretended to be tempted by the Fourth-Rank Floating Continent Essence, agreeing to the deal.
After completing the transaction with Zhou Ping, Song Chi approached the Treant clan that had just entered the Market Ruins.
"Friend, are you interested in these seeds of Floating Land plants?"
Without beating around the bush, Song Chi directly took out the seeds he had acquired from his uncle over the past month.
Seeing that the Treant clan was quite understanding, they mostly took these seeds at dozens of times the price they had acquired from the lineage, Song Chi nodded in satisfaction.
These seeds were all from powerful plants on the various Star Sea Floating Continents under the Song Family's jurisdiction, with a minimum potential of Second-Rank. If they were uninterested in these, Song Chi would genuinely doubt their judgment as Treants.
After receiving the Second-Rank and Third-Rank Floating Continent Essence used to purchase the tree seeds, Song Chi didn't leave. He reached into a storage capsule on his left side and took out a few blood-red seeds.
These seeds not only had a bright red skin but also emitted a strong, bloody scent. They were the seeds obtained from the Blood Crow Meat Locust that he had slain.
Although they were seeds of a Star Sea plant, the family had little interest in them. They were difficult to control, had a long growth cycle, and required a large amount of flesh for nourishment. Even if they were placed in a Mystic Realm for accelerated growth, the damage to the realm itself would be significant, making the cost-to-benefit ratio too low. So, Song Chi decided to try them out with the Treant clan.
Initially, he thought the Treant clan wouldn't be very interested in these seeds, but when he took out the Blood Crow Meat Locust seeds, a few of the Treants showed noticeable interest.
After a brief discussion, the Treants finally offered ten strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Continent Essence.
The meaning was clear: they wanted to trade these 10 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Continent Essence for the five Blood Crow Meat Locust seeds in his hand.
Song Chi paused, as this was already far beyond his expectations. However, considering the Treants' decisive offer, he lightly shook his head.
"These are the seeds of the Star Sea plant 'Blood Crow Meat Locust.' Once cultivated, they are equivalent to an endless supply of Blood Crows as helpers. Fourth-Rank Floating Continent Essence is not enough!"
"True, but cultivating these Star Sea plants is far more difficult than cultivating Floating Land plants. Even with our unique talents in this area, it's no easy task!"
From the tone of the Treants, it was clear they were quite straightforward. So, they finally offered a new price.
"Five strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Continent Essence. This is the highest price we can offer!"
Hearing this, Song Chi, who was already more than satisfied, nodded in agreement.
He never expected that the seeds of the Blood Crow Meat Locust would bring such a pleasant surprise. Fifth-Rank Floating Continent Essence was extremely scarce even within the Song Clan.
