Chapter 303: Tidal Giant Source Blood, Star Sea Chrysanthemum Tree Heart, Silver Engine, and Void Cr
Chapter 303: Tidal Giant Source Blood, Star Sea Chrysanthemum Tree Heart, Silver Engine, and Void Crystal
After obtaining the Ten Thousand Year Pure Yang Jade, Song Chi shifted his attention back to the auction.
He was still looking forward to the appearance of the Void Crystal and Time Sand resources.
However, reality was always harsh. After several hours, the auction was nearing its end, and dozens of orange and red components had already been auctioned off, but these two resources never appeared, leaving Song Chi deeply disappointed.
"Alright, the regular auction has concluded. Next, we have the final three highlight items. Please stay tuned!"
As the auction entered its final highlight stage, Song Chi's heart sank.
He was well aware that while the Void Crystal and Time Sand were rare, they were not significant enough to be the highlight items of a once-in-a-century auction.
Thinking about this, he found it hard to accept and his mind raced, pondering his next steps.
"Maybe I should just use 'Primordial Copper' instead? The market ascension can't be delayed any longer!"
As he muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered a special black communication bracelet he had stored in the market storage room for nearly twenty years.
The communication bracelet was given to him by a mysterious female manager from the Morning Star Multi-Function Shop. At the time, he didn't think much of it, but now, the more he recalled, the more he realized that the woman was not ordinary.
She casually exchanged a top-grade purple ascension fire source for a few blue components, which was practically giving it away. The power behind her was undoubtedly significant.
"After the auction, I should contact her. Come to think of it, I owe her a significant favor. Even without news of the Void Crystal and Time Sand, it's only right to reach out. Besides, I need her to help gather information about You Ran."
Thinking of Shen You Ran, Song Chi's mood turned heavy. When he learned that the entire Shen family had moved to the Capital Star Domain, he had proactively sent people from the pulse center to investigate. Later, during his family's ascension sequence, he entrusted the family's external affairs hall to help, but he never received useful information.
He once suspected that the Shen family might have encountered an accident on their way to the Capital Star Domain, but he didn't want to believe that. Over the years, he had never stopped trying to find out about Shen You Ran's family.
However, the family's influence in the Dingshai Star Domain had been shrinking for centuries, and their intelligence-gathering capabilities were limited, especially in the mixed and chaotic Golden Dragon Star Domain.
But the woman was different. Song Chi had long suspected that the power behind her was likely concentrated in the Golden Dragon Star Domain, and her information channels would be much stronger than the family's, offering some hope.
As he was pondering, a high-pitched voice from the auction stage snapped him back to reality.
"The first highlight item of this auction is a drop of Sixth-Rank Giant Clan [Tidal Giant] source blood. The primal blood energy is comparable to that of a Sixth-Rank Star Beast. Our guild has tested it, and for a Fourth-Rank Chasing Deer Ship to advance to a battleship, this source blood can increase the success rate by 20%. For a Fifth-Rank Battleship to advance to a dreadnought, it can increase the success rate by 10%!"
"The starting bid for this drop of Tidal Giant source blood is 150 strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Essence, with each subsequent bid not less than 10 strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Essence. The bidding now begins!"
The Tidal Giant source blood, which rivaled that of a Sixth-Rank Star Beast, left Song Chi speechless.
The value of this item was clearly far beyond what he had imagined. To hunt a creature of this level, even a peak dreadnought would not be enough; it would likely require at least two peak dreadnoughts working together.
Additionally, the time required to refine the source blood was not short, and 150 strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Essence was certainly not its upper limit.
Sure enough, within half a minute, the bidding price soared to 270 strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Essence, surpassing the initial red top-grade ascension fire source.
The bidding continued, with several peak Chasing Deer Ship captains and Fifth-Rank Battleship captains in the upper boxes still placing bids.
Two minutes later, the drop of Sixth-Rank Tidal Giant source blood was finally acquired by a Fifth-Rank Battleship captain from the Twilight Marquis Family for 8 strands of Sixth-Rank Floating Land Essence.
Next, the second highlight item appeared.
It was the life tree heart of a Sixth-Rank Star Sea Chrysanthemum. Once absorbed by a Flame Torch Captain, it could extend their lifespan by 500 years.
This item sent almost all the Flame Torch Captains in the room into a frenzy. A 500-year lifespan extension was a quarter of a Fourth-Rank Flame Torch Captain's lifespan. For those approaching the end of their lifespan, this was even more attractive than a silver legendary component.
Amidst the frenzied bidding, the Sixth-Rank [Star Sea Chrysanthemum Tree Heart] was finally auctioned off for 30 strands of Sixth-Rank Floating Land Essence.
Following the [Star Sea Chrysanthemum Tree Heart], the final highlight item was a silver legendary quality ship engine.
Dark Energy Particle Thruster lv0
Quality: Silver
Features:
1. Dark Energy Particle Ultra Burst
2. Engine Power Efficiency Increase 110%
3. Engine Thrust Increase 110%
4. Ether Energy Pool Storage Capacity Increased by 200%
Consumption: 30/s (Ether Energy Points)
...
Song Chi was extremely tempted by this silver legendary quality engine component, but unfortunately, his funds were limited, and there were several battleship and dreadnought captains eyeing it hungrily. He wisely decided to abandon any thoughts of competing for it.
After nearly ten minutes of bidding, the component was finally acquired by Lu Jiaozu, an elder of the Jinjiao Lu Clan, for 1 strand of Seventh-Rank Floating Land Essence and 20 strands of Sixth-Rank Floating Land Essence.
Hearing this bid, Song Chi couldn't help but feel ashamed of his earlier thoughts of participating in the bidding.
Unless he put up the golden star destroyer cannon from the market or exchanged the [Final Sanctuary] and [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield] components, how could he compete with Sixth-Rank level figures?
When Liu Yuanzhou finally announced the end of the auction, the Flame Torch Captains in the First Auction House all felt a sense of loss. The auction had featured too many valuable items.
Red Ascension Fire Source
Sixth-Rank Tidal Giant Source Blood
Sixth-Rank [Star Sea Chrysanthemum Tree Heart]
Silver Legendary [Dark Energy Particle Thruster]
Any of these items would drive Flame Torch Captains into a frenzy in the outside world, yet they all appeared in a single auction.
In fact, when these items appeared, many people had thoughts of forcibly seizing them, and there were quite a few of them. However, no one dared to make a move.
It wasn't just the immortal royal clan "Liu" behind the Radiant Han Commercial Guild, nor the Liu family's star destroyer ships far away in the millions of light-years. It was the presence of the Radiant Han Commercial Guild's president at the auction that deterred any such actions.
A seasoned sixth-rank Dreadnought Captain, if anyone dared to have ulterior motives, they would be suppressed with a mere wave of his hand.
In the dozens of previous Radiant Han Commercial Guild auctions, this point had been proven multiple times.
After leaving the First Auction House, Song Chi immediately summoned the Sky Dome. Once the warship disappeared into the clouds, he entered the Market Ruins. When he came out, he held a black communication bracelet in his hand.
Comparing it with the family’s quantum communication bracelet, Song Chi found that the black bracelet was very similar to the quantum communication bracelet, and their functions were also mostly the same.
Confirming this, he felt even more that the woman behind it was not to be underestimated.
After pondering for a long time, Song Chi tapped the bracelet and called the only contact on it.
Dialing sound! As the familiar communication sound rang out, Song Chi instinctively slowed his breathing. He had a deep impression of this woman, mainly because of her overly sweet conversational style.
"Goodness, it’s been twenty years, and you finally think to contact your sister?"
"Stinky little brother, did you forget about your sister? What a heartless person..."
Song Chi: ...
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, the familiar, magnetic female voice from the communication bracelet still darkened his face.
If someone didn’t know, they might really think he was someone who abandoned people after using them.
Of course, he was only momentarily flustered and not really angry. He could hear the faint surprise in her tone.
Clearly, the woman on the other end was very happy about his proactive contact after twenty years.
Hearing Song Chi’s long silence, the communication bracelet emitted a series of giggles.
"Alright, alright, your sister won’t tease you anymore. Don’t be so quiet..."
Seeing that her tone had finally returned to normal, Song Chi finally spoke.
...
On Star Avenue, in the middle section, about ten miles away from the Dragon Spine Shop, there was the Legendary Club.
Although the height of the Legendary Club’s building was far from matching the industries of the five major forces of the Grand Duchy, the fact that it could secure an entire building on the valuable Star Avenue was enough to show the power behind its owner.
Above the sky, a 1,300-meter-long warship emerged from the clouds, all its radiance concealed, and slowly descended toward the Legendary Club’s building.
Because it deliberately hid the five-colored radiance emitted by the [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield] component, the current Sky Dome looked like an ordinary cruiser, and no one would associate it with the Seventh Sequence flagship of the Song Clan of Dinghai.
Looking down at the Legendary Club’s building, Song Chi’s eyes gleamed even brighter.
Although this building was far inferior to the Dragon Spine Shop’s building, he was very clear about the cost of securing an entire building on Star Avenue.
According to Song Yufeng, even getting a small shop on Star Avenue wasn’t just a matter of money; it required sufficient power behind it, let alone an entire building.
This further confirmed Song Chi’s thoughts.
The Sky Dome slowly descended and was soon recalled above the Legendary Club’s rooftop. As for Song Chi, he landed steadily on the central landing platform of the rooftop, enveloped in ether energy.
This time, he didn’t wear a long robe and hood as he did twenty years ago but boldly revealed his face.
Of course, he wore a synthetic skin mask.
At the auction, Song Chi did not wear a mask but showed his true face.
After all, in the top forces of the Grand Duchy, his appearance was not a secret. But now, things were different. Song Chi instinctively did not want to meet this old acquaintance with his true face.
Perhaps he was afraid that the subtle relationship between them would change, or perhaps he simply did not want his identity to be known by her.
In any case, before recalling the Sky Dome, he put on the synthetic skin mask again.
On the rooftop of the Legendary Club, An Se Wei was already waiting with a smile. Seeing that Song Chi’s flagship had been promoted to a cruiser and that his guiding technique had also reached the third rank, the woman’s smile became even more charming.
"You’ve been busy with promotions for the past twenty years, haven’t you? It seems that in someone’s eyes, I am truly dispensable. That’s really heartbreaking!"
As she spoke, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and her expression turned to one of heart-wrenching sorrow, looking incredibly realistic.
Song Chi rolled his eyes.
"Your personality hasn’t changed a bit from twenty years ago."
The woman quickly wiped away her sorrow, and her face lit up with a charming smile once more.
"What, don’t you like it, little brother?"
Suddenly, her tone changed.
"Or do you want your sister to be more proactive?"
As she spoke, her curvaceous figure slowly leaned in, and the two were only a few centimeters apart. From a distance, it looked as if she had directly pressed her soft body against Song Chi.
With each breath, Song Chi could even smell the faint fragrance from her.
Pushing her away by tapping her white forehead, Song Chi’s face, hidden by the synthetic skin mask, showed no emotion.
With his changed identity and enhanced strength, his vigilance toward this woman was no longer as it used to be.
He said calmly:
"Speak properly!"
The woman was not annoyed, her smile unchanged, but she did not continue speaking. Instead, she waited for Song Chi to speak first.
She could see that Song Chi had come with a request.
After organizing his thoughts, he spoke:
"Um, there’s something that’s a bit of a trouble—"
Before he could finish, the woman’s cold voice interrupted him.
"Rude! When you need someone’s help, you should show some respect. Call me An Se Wei sister first—"
Song Chi’s face darkened again, and he reorganized his words, but he still couldn’t bring himself to say the word "sister."
"An Se Wei..."
An Se Wei rolled her eyes, not bothering to argue with him. Her clear eyes twinkled as she said:
"Void Crystal and Time Sand, right? Wait a moment."
As she spoke, she led Song Chi to a guest room that looked somewhat different and then quickly left.
She didn’t keep Song Chi waiting for long. Soon, she reappeared, holding a crystal that emitted a faint white light in her hand.
This crystal emitted a gentle white light, with clear spatial fluctuations on its surface. It was indeed the Void Crystal that Song Chi had been searching for for a long time.
Noticing the surprise in Song Chi’s eyes, An Se Wei’s eyes twinkled again as she said:
"I don’t have Time Sand, but this Void Crystal has been in my collection for many years!!!"
