Chapter 562: Earth Spirit Ginseng
Chapter 562: Earth Spirit Ginseng
After enhancing two components, Song Chi finally returned to the Dragon Spine Continent.
In recent years, there have been numerous clan affairs, with numerous battleships constantly traveling back and forth between the Dragon Spine Continent and multiple floating lands through the space wormhole in the Zhuihuo Plains.
Among them, the most frequent destinations are the Jie Xing Floating Land, Yao Han Floating Land, and Yin Pan Floating Land.
These three floating lands are all seventh-rank floating lands, with the largest flow of people, and they are also the main outlets for the Song family's upcoming sale of war resources.
Indeed, the Song family had long stopped acquiring war resources externally and had begun preparations for their sale.
In the past nearly fifty years, the Song family utilized half of the floating land origins stored in their secret vault, taking advantage of low prices to acquire a large amount of war resources.
What was their purpose in doing so?
Was it merely for the upcoming civilization war? Of course not. The various war materials accumulated on the Dragon Spine Continent are more than enough for the entire family to sustain a civilization war lasting tens of thousands of years, and they won't be able to use it all up.
The Song family's initial purpose was to profit from the price difference, buying low and selling high.
Four years ago, the four major empires of the Flamefire Humans officially announced that they would launch a full-scale war against the Eight-armed Serpent Demon Galaxy Cluster after fifty years. This news immediately caused a stir throughout the Flamefire Humans Galaxy Cluster.
Not only the Flamefire Humans Galaxy Cluster, but also the Eight-armed Serpent Demon Galaxy Cluster, was in turmoil. Under these turbulent currents, the first to be affected was the war materials. In just four years, the prices of various war materials skyrocketed by more than tenfold.
Seeing this, the Song family has been fully preparing for the sale of war resources. The reason they haven't officially started selling yet is that the Song family's upper management has not issued the order.
Dragon Spine Divine Mountain, Family Ancestral Temple.
Surrounded by over a hundred clan elders, a loud discussion about the sale of war resources was taking place in the main hall.
"According to the detailed statistical information just received, the war resources acquired in the past fifty years are sufficient to support the family in an eight-thousand-year war. What do you think is the appropriate amount to keep and how much to sell externally?"
"Although the upcoming battle will be intense, I don't believe it will last too long. After all, there's not just one Eight-armed Serpent Demon civilization around our Flamefire Humans Galaxy Cluster; three thousand years is the limit."
"Dai Jiang, you're underestimating the scale of a civilization war between two galaxy clusters. It's not just three thousand years; even five thousand years might not be enough."
"Ten thousand years should be appropriate. Let's keep enough war resources to sustain a ten-thousand-year war and sell the rest at high prices. In recent times, to enhance the overall strength of the family, we've consumed most of the resources accumulated over thousands of years. We must take this opportunity to replenish our resources!"
"Ten thousand years sounds about right!"
...
As the elders were conversing, Song Chi, who had just returned to the Dragon Spine Continent, entered the hall.
At the head of the hall, Song Shiyuan's gaze turned towards Song Chi.
"Little Chi, you've arrived at the right time. What do you think is the appropriate amount of war resources to keep?"
Song Chi had heard about the situation from afar, so he replied without hesitation:
"In my opinion, aside from core military equipment and materials such as combat robots, Hellfire Armored Suits, and Mara Skyward Armored Suits, which can assist in combat, there's no need to keep too much of the other resources. A thousand years' worth should be sufficient."
Upon hearing his words, the elders in the hall all frowned, clearly disagreeing.
"Oh, explain your reasoning!"
Song Shiyuan understood Song Chi's personality well and didn't rush to refute him. Instead, he wanted to hear his explanation first.
"It's simple. We control the Crimson Star Continent, a massive trading channel. During the civilization war, we can synchronize the acquisition of war resources with the help of Dimensional Space Stones. I can always bring the resources acquired from the Crimson Star Continent to the frontlines, and I can also continuously acquire resources in the Multiverse Bazaar. So, we basically won't lack those ordinary war resources!"
"Instead of keeping them, we might as well sell these war resources at high prices. This way, the family can significantly replenish its resources while also acquiring the good things that may appear in the market later."
After hearing his explanation, the elders who had initially disagreed suddenly understood and unanimously changed their attitudes, feeling that Song Chi's words made sense.
At the head of the hall, Song Shiyuan smiled and nodded.
"Little Chi is right. With our control over two special trading channels, we won't lack ordinary war resources. With the civilization war approaching, this is a comprehensive war in which all Flame Torch Captains in the Flamefire Humans Galaxy Cluster need to participate. In such a situation, many small and medium-sized forces that are not adequately prepared will offer their hidden treasures in exchange for a large number of war resources.
This is the perfect opportunity for us to acquire these top-quality components, high-level spiritual objects, and special resources. Once missed, such opportunities will be hard to come by again!"
With that said, the entire plan was essentially set—only enough resources to sustain a thousand-year war would be kept, and the other 95% of war resources would be sold at high prices.
However, a new challenge arose when they reached this point.
"The price of war supplies in the outside world has already risen by 13 times. When is the best time to start selling?"
This question was obviously of utmost importance. If they sold too early, their profits would naturally be lower, but if they sold too late, would the good items on the market still be available for them to acquire? They would have already been snatched up by other forces.
Based on this issue, the elders discussed for nearly half an hour, and finally, they set a time.
Ten years!
Ten years later, the family would be selling off all their assets on the three floating lands of Jie Xing, Yao Han, and Yin Pan.
After the discussion, the elders left one after another, leaving only Song Chi, Song Shiyuan, Song Shixing, Song Yan, and a few others in the Ancestral Hall.
Song Shiyuan's expression was not good, and his voice was heavy.
"The breakthrough on the ancestor's side is not going smoothly. The 80,000-year-old Nirvana Body Tempering Fruit is still too much of a stretch."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, as this was undoubtedly terrible news for the family.
However, they could only look at each other helplessly, unable to offer much help.
Breaking through to the seventh rank of Guiding Technique was extremely difficult, and not just any spiritual item would be effective.
...
Bright Star Command Group Chat
"32 'Surprise'": "Who has a spiritual item that can assist in breaking through the seventh rank of Guiding Technique?"
"3 'Corpse Dog'": "I just used it."
"32 'Surprise'": "Corpse Dog, did you succeed?"
"3 'Corpse Dog'": "I got lucky!"
"32 'Surprise'": "Congratulations, congratulations!"
"19 'Blazing Sun'": "Warmest congratulations!"
"22 'Red Fox'": "Congratulations!"
...
Song Chi asked around in the group chat, but unfortunately, he only learned that 'Corpse Dog' had successfully advanced to the rank of Star Destroyer Captain. None of the members had such high-level spiritual items in their possession.
Based on the energy behind the Star Tower members, this was clearly unreasonable.
However, considering that the war between civilizations was imminent and most Flame Torch Captains wanted to try for a promotion during this final period, it wasn't surprising.
After all, the stronger one's strength, the higher the chances of survival in the upcoming giant civilization war.
Two years later, Song Chi received a message from the ancestor.
After he and Song Yan arrived at the Ancestral Hall, they received a piece of news from the ancestor.
A 100,000-year-old Earth Spirit Ginseng had appeared on the Yin Pan Floating Land, and it was a high-level spiritual item with a significant auxiliary effect on breaking through the seventh rank of Guiding Technique.
Song Shiyuan's intention was for the two of them to go and bring back this Earth Spirit Ginseng if possible.
The space wormhole that the Song family had opened in the Yin Pan Galaxy was not located within the Yin Pan Floating Land but in a small fragment belt thousands of light-years away from the Yin Pan Floating Land.
The Yin Pan Floating Land was different from the Jie Xing Floating Land. It was the ancestral land of the Tuoba Royal Clan, and its monitoring capabilities far exceeded those of the Jie Xing Floating Land, which did not have a Star Destroyer Captain stationed. Even with the concealment of a large combination illusion, it couldn't be guaranteed to be foolproof, so the Song family didn't dare to directly place the space wormhole on the Yin Pan Floating Land.
For this reason, Song Chi, feeling it was too troublesome, took Song Yan directly to the Multiverse Bazaar and then to the Yin Pan Floating Land.
Conveniently, the location where the Earth Spirit Ginseng appeared was also in the Yin Pan City.
Upon arriving in Yin Pan City, Song Chi and Song Yan rushed to their target shop.
Yin Pan City, Heavenly Sound Shop.
As a direct shop under the Heavenly Sound Commerce, the Heavenly Sound Shop was among the top twenty in Yin Pan City.
Heavenly Sound Commerce was one of the top ten commerce guilds in the Yin Pan Kingdom, ranking in the top three among them. They had an Extreme Fearless Ship, and both their financial resources and scale were far beyond what the Annan Conglomerate, which had troubled the Pan family, could compare to.
As they entered the Heavenly Sound Shop, perhaps sensing the subtle sixth-rank life aura on the two, the maid led Song Chi and Song Yan to the top floor.
"Two Fearless Ship Captains, I am Jin Min, the steward of the Heavenly Sound Commerce. What items are you looking to purchase?"
Song Chi and Song Yan exchanged glances, and finally, Song Yan spoke, "Steward Jin, we heard that your shop recently acquired a 100,000-year-old Earth Spirit Ginseng. Is this information accurate?"
Upon hearing that their target was the Earth Spirit Ginseng, Jin Min frowned.
He quickly shook his head, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, the information about the Earth Spirit Ginseng is correct, but... we don't intend to sell it."
Hearing this, Song Chi and Song Yan weren't disappointed, as the steward's tone indicated that there was still room for negotiation.
