Chapter 373: The Silver Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform and the Imperial Ruin Origin Stone
Zhou Ping was unaware of what transpired in the main hall of the sect after he left.
Of course, even if he had known, it wouldn't have deterred his determination to make this trade.
He had heard of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, a well-deserved leader of the Eastern Divine States in the Primordial Chaos Continent. Even the Luofu Sword Sect would be several tiers below them, but what did that have to do with him? Even if the Taiyi Immortal Sect was powerful, could they provide him with an Essence-Gold Core Pill? Could they stop him from targeting their Market Guest Token?
...
Zhou Ping suppressed his excitement as he carefully stored away the complete set of resources for the Essence-Gold Core Pill. He quickly left the room and soon returned to the free market area.
Behind the stall, Song Chi maintained his composure, but his heart was filled with anticipation.
His thoughts were simple; he didn't need to elaborate. As long as the Luofu Sword Sect behind Zhou Ping could provide two or three red artifacts, they could start negotiating.
The spirit herbs in his hand were all of exceptional quality, and among them was the main ingredient for the Spirit Transcendence Pill. However, it was just one of the main ingredients, and even if the pill was refined, the success rate of ascending to the Spirit Transcender realm would be at most 20%. It wasn't a divine elixir that guaranteed success.
Therefore, these items could only be traded for a few red artifacts.
Before he could think further, Zhou Ping quickly approached and directly opened the storage bag at his waist, and the stall was instantly enveloped in silver light.
Song Chi's eyes narrowed slightly, and as he turned to look at Zhou Ping's flickering gaze, they seemed to understand each other's intentions in that brief moment of eye contact.
"What do you want?" Song Chi asked first, his intentions clear. By revealing this silver artifact, he was indicating that he could offer it, but the specifics needed to be discussed.
Zhou Ping's goal was also evident.
"Blood Bodhi, high-grade Blood Bodhi!"
Song Chi, a member of the Blue Blood Clan, was known for his Blood Bodhi, and all the regulars in the Ruins Marketplace were aware of this.
However, he always brought out low-grade Blood Bodhi, and the usage of Blood Bodhi was limited. Zhou Ping had never used it before.
This time, his goal was simple: to complete the trade and, at the same time, to obtain some good items for himself. The high-grade Blood Bodhi was something he had long desired. If he could consume a high-grade Blood Bodhi, his innate talent for cultivation might improve, ensuring his future ascent to the peak of the immortal path.
Song Chi remained silent for a moment before taking out the 'Fourth Stage Blood Bodhi' that had been in his hand for a long time.
Upon seeing the Fourth Stage Blood Bodhi, Zhou Ping's excitement was evident, but just as he reached out his hand, Song Chi stopped him.
"You can have this Fourth Stage Blood Bodhi, but I need to see the silver legendary artifact in your storage bag first. If it's suitable, we can proceed with the trade!"
Without hesitation, Zhou Ping took out the broken sword stone from his storage bag.
With the backing of the Multiverse Bazaar's owner, he wasn't worried about this Blue Blood Clan member running off with his item.
Song Chi ignored him, his gaze fixed on the silver legendary artifact in Zhou Ping's hand.
Artifact: Taiyi Boundless Swordshard
Quality: Silver
Can be transformed into: {Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform}
Note: A silver artifact from the Taiyi Immortal Sect in the Primordial Chaos Continent, this sword stone has been nourished by countless sword beams and sword energies for countless years, but it seems to be incomplete.
...
Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform lv0
Quality: Silver
Attribute: Power increased by 110%
Attribute 2: Each ordinary sword beam fired from the main cannon has a 15% chance to trigger a 250% critical damage.
Attribute 3: True Immortal Quantum Sword Beam
Attribute 4: Taiyi Quantum Sword Array
Cost: 50/shot (Shadow Energy)
Attack: 97
Charge: 10s; Buffer: 20s
Upgrade Requirements: 30 strands of Floating Land Essence (Zero Tier), 3000 Shadow Energy points, 30 Life Cores (Zero Tier)
{True Immortal Quantum Sword Beam: Consumes 50,000 Shadow Energy points. After a 60-second charge, it fires a True Immortal Quantum Sword Beam with 700% power in a designated direction. Cooldown: 48 hours.}
{Taiyi Quantum Sword Array: Consumes 100,000 Shadow Energy points. After a 60-second charge, it combines six giant quantum sword beams into the Taiyi Sword Array. Cooldown: 240 hours.}
After reading the attributes, Song Chi's heart raced slightly. It was as if the universe had heard his desires.
This half-section of the Taiyi Boundless Swordshard could transform into a warship component, which was precisely the main cannon component that the Radiant Star Order currently lacked. Once obtained, it could directly replace the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon.
Moreover, the attributes of this silver main cannon were top-notch. Although it didn't possess the characteristics of a real first-class component, all four of its traits were excellent. The key was that none of its four traits were fixed; they were all the type that increased in effect as the component's enhancement level rose.
The initial trigger probability of Trait 2 was only 15%, but once the enhancement level increased, this probability could surpass 50%. At that point, it would essentially trigger critical hit damage every two shots, which was incredibly desirable.
As for Traits 3 and 4, one was an extreme single-target attack, and the other was a large-scale group attack, both of which were excellent traits.
Additionally, based on the description, this seemed to be a damaged component. If it could be repaired in the future, there might be room for further improvement.
With this confirmation, Song Chi had no more hesitation.
Whoosh!
The Fourth Stage Blood Bodhi was directly thrown to Zhou Ping, along with over a dozen rare spirit herbs from the stall. Song Chi himself took the Taiyi Boundless Swordshard in his hand.
On the other side, Zhou Ping also smiled, quickly storing everything in his storage bag.
It was evident that this was a mutually beneficial trade.
But it didn't end there; Zhou Ping soon gave Song Chi another pleasant surprise. After completing the trade, he quickly headed to the Oddity Exchange Shop.
Under Song Chi's watchful eye, Zhou Ping took out a red epic oddity and successfully exchanged it for a Market Travel Token.
Of course, after obtaining the Market Travel Token, the Market Guest Token in his hand was voluntarily returned to Song Chi.
The same creature couldn't possess multiple Market Tokens; this was a rule that Song Chi had established long ago.
After all, there were only ten of each Market Travel Token and Market Guest Token, so their numbers were limited.
Unfortunately, the red oddity used to exchange for the Market Travel Token couldn't be transformed into a warship component; it could only be used as the fourth red epic oddity item in the Oddity Exchange Shop.
In the free stall area, Song Chi pretended to continue for several more minutes before finally closing his stall.
Originally, he had planned to visit various stalls.
With the Double Pupil ability, some things that were once obscured by the Vast Market Law's blessing were now becoming clearer to him, presenting an excellent opportunity to find hidden treasures.
However, before he could immerse himself in the alien crowd, an obscure fluctuation emanated from a second-floor room of the inn next to him.
Song Chi's long-awaited Tier 3 Half-Ratman from the Divine Domain finally came online.
Song Chi had always treated this mysterious Tier 3 Half-Ratman with utmost importance, primarily because of the suspected Tier 7 Star Sea Floating Continent behind him.
As expected, after leaving the inn, the Half-Ratman rushed to the free stall area.
Once he set up his stall, familiar Origin Stones were continuously taken out from the seemingly ordinary leather bag on his back.
Song Chi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately narrowed his eyes.
Under the control of the Brightsight Blood Pact, the Double Pupil ability didn't reveal its strangeness when he didn't actively stimulate it. But once he did, the characteristic of one eye with two pupils would fully manifest, making it easy for someone with ill intentions to notice.
Of course, in this Vast Market, no one could see the abnormality in his eyes unless he wanted them to. This was just Song Chi's instinctive reaction.
As the Double Pupil ability was stimulated, the scene before him suddenly changed; the Origin Stones that had appeared blurry and unidentifiable now seemed completely exposed.
Upon discovering this, Song Chi was naturally delighted.
Before this, he had indeed stepped into some pitfalls.
The first time he purchased Origin Stones, he had indeed found a great bargain, but his luck didn't hold up in subsequent purchases. While the unidentifiable Origin Stones did contain good items, most of them were just special shells with nothing inside or ordinary items. After several consecutive disappointments, Song Chi had suffered significant losses.
This time, he came with the attitude of regaining his footing.
After all, this was his "home ground," and he couldn't bear being taken advantage of by outsiders.
Copper Mother Ore
Obsidian
First Stage Floating Continent Essence
Third Stage Life Core
Third Stage Floating Continent Essence
...
Under the Double Pupil ability that pointed directly to the essence of all things, the Origin Stones taken out by the Tier 3 Half-Ratman couldn't hide anything. Almost every stone could be clearly seen for what it contained.
Song Chi did not make a move on these items, as he was only interested in the rare and precious ones.
Due to the absence of the Vast Market for over four months, the Half-Ratmen had accumulated a considerable collection of items. As Song Chi inspected them, his gaze did not linger.
When his eyes fell upon a brand-new Origin Stone, his gaze abruptly halted. This Origin Stone gave him a sense of obscurity, as if the previous moment had been in high-definition, and the next, it had abruptly switched to standard definition. The difference was stark.
However, as he stared intently, the contents within the Origin Stone gradually revealed themselves.
Fourth Stage Floating Continent Essence, 20 Strands.
Casually picking up this Origin Stone, Song Chi continued to examine the others.
Within a few minutes, the number of Origin Stones in his hand had reached four, mostly consisting of Fourth Stage Floating Continent Essence and Purple Oddities.
This puzzled Song Chi, as he had yet to come across any high-grade Origin Stones that were difficult to assess.
But the Half-Ratman's next action quickly explained everything.
He took out several distinct Origin Stones from his bag, each adorned with patches of mysterious light points. The rocky layers exuded ancient auras, clearly setting them apart from the others.
Holding these special Origin Stones in his palm, the Half-Ratman spoke in the common language of the Star Sea:
"These five Origin Stones were excavated from an Imperial Ruin, and we lost dozens of our men in the process. So, the price... I'll offer 20 Strands of Fourth Stage Floating Continent Essence for one!"
This offer startled many aliens, as 20 Strands of Fourth Stage Floating Continent Essence was no small amount for the highest-tiered aliens in the Star Sea, who were only Tier 3.
However, many aliens remained, their faces eager to take up the challenge.
Suddenly, one of the aliens asked, "Vendor, what is this Imperial Ruin you speak of?"
Knowing that aliens would inquire about this, the Half-Ratman quickly explained, "In our Divine Domain Continent, great beings of Tier 7 and above are called Emperors. Imperial Ruins are the remnants left behind by fallen Emperors!"
"Hiss!"
A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd around the stall.
The site of an Emperor's fall was beyond the comprehension of these Tier 2 and 3 aliens, but it did not diminish the innate fear that stirred within them.
Compared to these limited-knowledge Star Sea aliens, Song Chi, who remained composed, felt a similar tremor in his heart, but it soon transformed into a sense of certainty.
He realized that the Divine Domain Continent indeed matched his previous speculations, with the existence of dominant life forms, at least a Tier 7 life-form Star Sea Floating Continent.
In the end, his heart filled with joy.
For him, the Sovereign of the Vast Market, this was undoubtedly good news.
Especially after obtaining the Double Pupil, his chances of finding hidden treasures would increase exponentially. The higher the tier of the Floating Continent, the greater the quality and quantity of treasures he could acquire.
As he thought, his gaze fixed on the special Origin Stones held by the Half-Ratman.
"Hmm?"
His brows furrowed as the first Origin Stone he examined presented a significant challenge.
If the Origin Stones he held, marked with "Fourth Stage Floating Continent Essence" and "Purple Oddities," were like standard definition under the Double Pupil, this first high-grade Origin Stone from the Imperial Ruin seemed to have a mosaic filter applied.
He could vaguely discern that something was sealed within, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Unwilling to give up, he narrowed his eyes, his shadow energy surged within, and he pushed his Double Pupil to its limit.
Finally, with this intense stimulation, he managed to perceive the contents of this special Origin Stone.
"Fifth Stage Floating Continent Essence!"
Although still blurry, he was certain that it contained over 200 Strands of Fifth Stage Floating Continent Essence.
After examining this stone, Song Chi's gaze lifted, and he turned to the next Origin Stone.
His brows knitted together as this second Origin Stone was even more challenging to see through, even with his full utilization of the Double Pupil.
"It seems I'll have to invoke the Vast Market's rules!"
With a thought, the Vast Market's secret realm rules enveloped him, and his Double Pupil gathered a substantial amount of origin law.
With this boost, he quickly discerned the contents of the second Imperial Ruin Origin Stone.
However, upon seeing what was inside, his pupils contracted in shock.
"It's actually..."
