Chapter 1276: Chapter 683: True Spirit Tower Power Source (Part 2)

Thinking of this, Song Chi’s interest in the "Bloodline Sorcerer Alliance" grew even stronger. If the "Body of Moon-swallowing Viper" were to be listed in this Oddity Exchange Shop, perhaps the first Colorful Mythical Component of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market would soon appear.

His thoughts raced, but he didn’t forget to respond.

The light screen in the center of the shop changed, and a new line of subtitles appeared.

"Three Life Creation Pills in exchange for your Magic Energy Power Furnace, Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Stone, and Seventh Rank True Spirit Tower Power Source. What do you say?"

Upon seeing this reply, the True Spirit Wizard pondered for just a moment and then immediately shook his head.

"Sir, the True Spirit Tower Power Source is something exclusive to our Wizard Civilization, with a limited annual output. After meeting internal demands, at most a few dozen can flow out every century, mostly acquired by Starry Sea Civilizations friendly with us. Moreover, each Power Source can normally last over ten thousand years. Three pills are not enough!"

Faced with the True Spirit Wizard’s earnest explanation, he refrained from haggling back and forth due to his stature; such behavior would be beneath the dignity of a Starry Sea "Ninth Rank" Great Power.

Thus, after the other finished speaking, he stated a second offer.

"Five pills!"

After this, the True Spirit Wizard seemed to want to bargain further, but Song Chi, similar to his dealings with the "New Moon Matriarch" before, did not respond.

Seeing this, the True Spirit Wizard understood that it was the final offer and had no choice but to agree to the transaction.

The "New Moon Matriarch," who witnessed the entire scene, felt a sense of gratification in her heart.

Having just spent all her assets, seeing others experience a similar financial hemorrhage was quite satisfying.

...

A dozen seconds later, the transaction between both parties was complete.

In the free stall zone, looking down at the item tightly held in his hand, a hint of joy appeared in Song Chi’s eyes.

What he held was one of the items he had just traded from the True Spirit Wizard. It was neither the golden Energy Shield nor the Seventh Rank True Spirit Tower Power Source, but rather the seemingly attached Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Stone.

This Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Stone contained the domineering energies of thunder and fire. In the hands of other alien civilizations, it was at best a unique forging material or energy supplement. However, for the Torch Human Civilization, it was invaluable.

Not for any other reason, but because it was an extremely high-rank additional advancement resource.

It could not only provide a 12% success rate increase for upgrading a Fearless Ship to a Star-Annihilating Starship but also affect the Star River Battleship’s Star-Annihilating Starship, albeit only increasing the advancement success rate by 5%. Yet, for every Star-Annihilating Starship Captain, it was more enticing than even golden or black components.

After this transaction, Song Chi initially thought more Seventh Rank living beings would attempt to enter the Ruins Market. At least it was inevitable for dominant creatures to exist behind the Sixth Rank Half-Rodent People of the Divine Domain Continent, along with ancient dwarves, ice giants, etc., which surely had dominant creatures behind them.

Unexpectedly, until the end of the Ruins Market trade, a third Seventh Rank living being never appeared.

’They are indeed cautious, but if they can endure this time, what about the next?’

Though somewhat unexpected, Song Chi was not too disappointed.

He had complete confidence in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market; even if those beings could resist the first time, once Seventh Rank Dominators entered more frequently, they would eventually be unable to resist.

...

Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!

With the flicker of starlight in the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall, Song Chi’s real person appeared in the hall.

After logging in with his true body, Song Chi made no other moves but quietly waited in the middle of the hall.

It had only been a little over ten minutes since the end of the Ruins Market trade. His eagerness to log into the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall was not to exchange something.

About two minutes later, a burst of starlight flickered again on the login platform ahead, and a spirit-rich tall man appeared on the platform.

Seeing this person, Song Chi quickly spoke proactively.

"Waking of Insects, the new member of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall, pays respects to ’Bright Moon’, my lord!"

Indeed, this tall man was "Bright Moon," a fellow member of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall, who happened to be an Extreme Star Annihilation Captain, hence Song Chi, the junior, naturally referred to him as "my lord".

"Bright Moon" lightly glanced at Song Chi and nodded subtly before going straight to the point.

"You said you want to trade the ’Body of Moon-swallowing Viper’?"

While speaking, although it was unintentional, Song Chi, blessed with the power of double pupils, captured a trace of condescension in the other’s eyes.

He wasn’t surprised; after all, he was only a Sixth Rank Fearless Ship Captain. A Fearless Ship Captain expressing a desire to trade a Colorful Mythical Artifact was akin to a five-year-old claiming they would become a great Star-Annihilating Starship Captain someday. Truly believing that was impossible.

Fully aware of this, Song Chi didn’t offer much explanation and instead directly took out the prepared items.

"This is a drop of Eighth Rank Blood of the Evil God and a portion of Seventh Rank Moon Spring!"

Seeing these two items, a look of surprise flashed across the tall man’s face, and his gaze towards Song Chi no longer contained the initial hint of disdain.

However, he quickly shook his head again.

"This is still not enough. A Colorful Mythical Artifact is not this cheap, even if it cannot be converted into a ship component!"

Upon hearing this, Song Chi gritted his teeth and took out the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Stone, before looking back at the man.

This time, genuine solemnity appeared in "Bright Moon’s" eyes. The three items Song Chi presented were quite sincere, even nearly rare among members who could present three such special resources simultaneously during the nearly millennia the "Body of Moon-swallowing Viper" had been listed on the Star Palace Mall.

Yet, even so, he still gently shook his head.

"Still not enough. The rarity of a Colorful Mythical Artifact far exceeds imagination!"

Song Chi’s heart sank. Although he had only come with a try-it-and-see mindset, being rejected inevitably made him somewhat heavyhearted.

’Should I use that Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit...’

Just as the thought arose, he quickly dismissed it.

The Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit was too terrifying in value. Even if he were to have advanced to Star-Annihilating Starship Captain, this must not be exposed.

What is the Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit? It’s an artifact capable of greatly enhancing the success rate of advancing to the Star River Battleship. Such high-caliber resources would likely entice even the four great empires’ Royal Families, equipped with Superdimensional Mother Ships. Once leaked, endless troubles would ensue.

Song Chi had a profound understanding of this.

The stir caused by the one he used while undercover in the Shenxia Dynasty territories seemed to have yet to settle. Numerous Star River Ships launched pursuits one after another. He managed not to expose his identity thanks to using the Mirror Image Warship with the Golden Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon and Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale for protection at the time.

Thinking of this, Song Chi seemed to have remembered something and continued speaking:

"If I add another drop of Eighth Rank Dominator Blood, would that suffice?"

Bright Moon didn’t even consider it, shaking his head directly.

"Eighth Rank Dominator Blood, or even standard Ninth Rank Dominator Blood, I’ve already stockpiled them and am not in need!"

Seemingly noticing the disappointment and helplessness in Song Chi’s eyes, Bright Moon shifted his tone:

"How about this, I’ve heard your Song Family possesses a Sixth Rank Time Realm Tree. If you can provide two more Sixth Rank Time Realm Fruits, along with one more drop of Eighth Rank Dominator Blood and these three items here, I am willing to make the trade with you."
