Chapter 580: Chapter 307: Purusa Zen Seal Further Enhancement – The Opening of the Third Rank Ruins Market

“`

Perhaps due to the sufficient severity of the losses incurred during this operation, the return journey was free of any accidents.

At the zenith of Chenxing Yang Continent’s sky, just before the two parties separated, Song Chi managed to obtain the Sand of Time he desired, a precise amount of 5kg.

Shi Man and the others once again expressed their heartfelt gratitude, after which both parties went their separate ways.

One group headed back to North Street while Song Chi made his way to Star Avenue.

Having just acquired 5kg of Sand of Time, Song Chi was keen to enhance the Purusa Zen Seal component as quickly as possible. As Cang Qiong’s highest-quality component at present—and possibly for the next several years, decades, or even centuries—elevating its enhancement level sooner rather than later was ideal.

…

However, considering that twenty days had passed, he grew curious about how many Starry Sea Oddities Song Yufeng had acquired and whether any of them were of orange or red quality.

His urgency was due to his pressing need for these strange objects to expand his Ruins Market shop.

The upcoming Ruins Market trade, which would be the first since advancing to Third Rank, was bound to be substantial. With a significant increase in the number of spatial gates deployed and Third-Rank Alien Species now able to enter the market, the trade was guaranteed to be good, possibly even bringing unexpected surprises for him.

To maximize the chances of seizing these potential surprises, Song Chi needed to prepare ample trading funds and attractive merchandise. Only then could his competitive edge extend beyond just the ability to use Ruins Market Guest Tokens and Ruins Market Walking Rank.

…

Dragon Spine Shops, Song Yufeng’s personal office.

This seasoned Third Rank Torch Captain was aglow with Spectral Energy, which surged through his whole body. His forehead’s Ancestral Aperture suddenly opened, releasing numerous glowing orbs of various colors.

In the blink of an eye, the amount of Starry Sea Oddities Song Yufeng extracted exceeded three figures. Although white and blue oddities were the majority, there were also not a few of purple quality and above.

Out of them, ten caught Song Chi’s attention the most.

3 red, 7 orange!

[Deep Sea Crown][Phantom Disk][Golden Halberd Spear]

[Red Flame Sword][Geomagnetic Shield][Stone Heart][Phoenix Feather][Tree Essence Core]…

Seeing these ten oddities, Song Chi could hardly contain his joy; they were the confidence boost he needed for his first Third Rank trade.

After meticulously storing these oddities away, Song Chi asked,

“Do we still have enough Floating Land Origin?”

Song Yufeng nodded.

“Acquiring these only used up one-tenth of the funds. The Floating Land Origin His Highness provided will support us for quite some time…”

Without further inquiry, Song Chi turned and sincerely thanked him.

Although he was part of the family sequence, Song Yufeng was under no obligation to manage these affairs for him. Such purchasing tasks took considerable time, and well aware of this, Song Chi did not take it for granted.

While Song Yufeng outwardly showed no reaction to Song Chi’s thanks, inwardly he felt gratified. Given that his own family was also well-off, the real reason he had assisted Song Chi so diligently was to cultivate goodwill.

Even if he wouldn’t benefit directly, it could pave an additional path for his good-for-nothing descendants in the future.

…

Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

Song Chi occupied a battleship summoning room located beneath the Dragon Spine Shops and immediately entered the market.

With the market’s advancement to Third Rank, the free-trading area no longer required parking the colossal Cang Qiong at a 45-degree angle. Now, with dimensions almost twice that of Cang Qiong, space was ample enough for docking more than five cruisers simultaneously.

In the battleship’s main control room, lights flickered constantly as Song Chi went about enhancing the Purusa Zen Seal component.

He had already withdrawn his entire annual sequence subsidy, and currently, resources were plentiful.

[Do you confirm spending 30 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin + 65 Titanium Crystals + 185g of Sand of Time to enhance Purusa Zen Seal from lv30 to lv31?]

“Confirmed!”

After ten consecutive attempts, Song Chi had 885 fewer Titanium Crystals and 2085g less Sand of Time.

However, the Purusa Zen Seal component had reached lv40.

Purusa Zen Seal lv40

Quality: Gold

…

Feature 4: Time Resistance +5200

Effect: When the equipped battleship is targeted by external Time Laws, its attacks will autonomously weaken by 50% of their might.

…

{Zen Seal: External Time Stop: Consumes 100,000 Spectral Energy Points, targets units within a 1,000 km radius, halting time around them for 5s, with a cooldown time of 400 hours.}

{Pusuo Time Realm: Slow: Consumes 250,000 Spectral Energy Points, forms a time barrier with a diameter of 10,000 km centered on the equipped battleship. Within the barrier, time is slowed by a factor of eight, affecting all movements, reactions, thoughts, and energy transfers of biological entities (Note: the battleship that casts the barrier is unaffected), lasting for 15 minutes with a cooldown time of 6 years.}

Although the attributes of the Purusa Zen Seal enhanced to lv40 were impressive, Song Chi still wanted to continue enhancing it. Alas, he had only a thousand Titanium Crystals left, insufficient to push the component to lv50.

Thus, he shifted his focus to other components.

Eventually, the Peeping Spirit Eyes component reached lv50.

As the eyes of a Torch Warship, Song Chi naturally wouldn’t allow the space radar to be Cang Qiong’s weak point. However, after upgrading this component, his high-rank resources were nearly depleted again.

This made him abandon any further thoughts of enhancing the God-binding Chains – Imitation component for the time being. He would have to wait for another opportunity.

Though he coveted the real Divine Binding Chains, since he couldn’t obtain them immediately, he had to settle for this imitation from Wang Zhen for now, just recently enhanced to lv30.
