Besides, if they truly could collect those special resources required for the promotion of warships, it would greatly reduce the difficulty of future promotions for their flagship, the importance of which goes without saying.

It is known that, no matter where in the Torch Human Civilization Territory, those resources commonly needed by Torch warships are all scarce commodities and have already been driven to exorbitant prices.

As for trading in the territories of other alien civilizations, making purchases? That would involve great risk, as such inter-civilization trade, even with Fourth Rank Torch warships escorting all the way, cannot be considered absolutely safe.

While everyone in the hall was caught up in their thoughts, Song Chi, who had turned back, pushed out the wooden box that had already been taken out from Cang Qiong and went straight to open it.

When they saw clearly what was in the wooden box, Song Mingsong was fine, but the faces of the others in the room simultaneously lit up with joy.

What was in the box was none other than the 1,000 bottles of Body Tempering Liquid and 100 boxes of Body Tempering Paste that Zhou Ping had brought to the Ruins Market transaction the day before yesterday.

After Song Mingsong’s confirmation, it was found that not only could the Body Tempering Liquid assist the Zero Rank and First Rank Torch Ship Captains in their cultivation, the Second-Rank Body Tempering Paste could also play a significant role for the Second Rank Torch Ship Captains.

Among those present, aside from Song Mingsong, the Torch Ship Captain who had already cultivated his Guidance Technique to Third Rank, even the uncle who had not yet advanced to Third Rank could use these Body Tempering Pastes to accelerate his cultivation, so it was natural that everyone was excited upon seeing these 100 boxes of Body Tempering Paste.

According to the family distribution of 3 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin per bottle of Body Tempering Liquid, 25 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin per bottle of Body Tempering Paste, the Body Tempering Liquid and Body Tempering Paste were quickly allocated.

The uncle received 300 portions of Body Tempering Liquid and 20 boxes of Body Tempering Paste.

Song Chi himself took 300 portions of Body Tempering Liquid.

The old man, his father, took 20 boxes of Body Tempering Paste.

The grandmother also took 20 boxes of Body Tempering Paste.

The remaining 400 portions of Body Tempering Liquid and 40 boxes of Body Tempering Paste were left for the second uncle and the fourth uncle’s families.

After the distribution of the Body Tempering Liquid and Body Tempering Paste, this secret meeting was almost at an end, and all that remained was to deliver everything into Song Chi’s hands.

However, just as Bai Xiuqin was about to dismantle the isolating screen, Song Chi opened his mouth again.

"Grandfather, there’s something else I have to discuss with you all, a few months ago, I happened to obtain a batch of ’Void Crystals’..."

No sooner had he spoken than everyone in the room simultaneously showed surprise.

"Void Crystals?"

Seeing the reaction of his elders, Song Chi, who already fully understood the function of Void Crystals, was not surprised, but his voice gradually lowered.

Having recounted the whole affair involving Baihe Mall, the Tros family, and John Tros, Song Chi was somewhat reluctant to watch the changes in his elders’ expressions.

He had no choice in the matter. Back when he had awakened, it was less than three months ago, and he did not understand the specific effects of Void Crystals; otherwise, the subsequent events would not have occurred.

To his surprise, after he finished telling his story, his elders did not show much emotion, let alone any blame.

Clearly, they all understood that Song Chi had not been aware of the value of Void Crystals in the past, as the textbooks did not record this in detail.

Feeling somewhat relieved, a cold glint also flashed in his eyes.

The reason he brought up the matter at this time was naturally to settle things before leaving White Tower Floating Land, for he did not know when next he would return here.

His thinking was simple: since he could not wait for his own revenge, let the family elders take action. In any case, with regards to the Tros family, especially that John Tros, he would not let them off easily.

"So, Little Chi, you mean to say that the Tros family might have control over a secret realm?"

At this point, the big uncle, Song Shan, suddenly spoke up. But before Song Chi could answer, the family patriarch on the main seat coldly said:

"I don’t care whether there is a secret realm or not. Since they dared to harm my grandson, Song Mingsong, I’ll wipe them out first!"

With that, a large amount of Spectral Energy burst forth from his body, and he immediately stood up from the sofa.

Instantly, a strong Third Rank pressure filled the entire hall.

Of course, Song Mingsong still maintained his rationality, knowing that his grandson Song Chi, who had just entered First Rank, was there. Otherwise, if he were to fully unleash his Third Rank lifeform pressure, Song Chi would likely end up collapsing on the spot.

Furthermore, Song Mingsong was not merely talking big. He was actually taking quick strides towards the exit of the hall. By his character, he should be grateful if others didn’t provoke him. However, someone had dared to oppress the weak by pursuing his grandson. This was absolutely intolerable.

At this moment, the grandmother, Bai Xiuqin, suddenly spoke:

```

"Stop right there, what’s the rush?"

```

```

As the voice carried through the air, Song Mingsong, who had been fuming with anger just a moment ago, halted in his tracks. At the same time, he turned his head, waiting for the follow-up from Bai Xiuqin.

```

```

"Since Little Chi has been targeted, it goes without saying that the Tros Family must be eradicated, but not right now."

```

```

Pausing at this, Bai Xiuqin waited until Song Mingsong had completely dispersed the spectral energy from around his body before she continued her speech:

```

```

"In about ten days or so, we’ll make our move on the day we set off back to the Dinghai Star Domain; that will minimize the impact on us!"

```

```

Hearing this, Song Mingsong also found it reasonable.

```

```

If we were to take action now, the focus of the entire White Tower Floating Land would inevitably shift to our family, which would certainly affect the planning of subsequent family affairs. However, by taking action on the day of departure and eliminating the other party before leaving the White Tower Floating Land, we would naturally avoid affecting ourselves.

```

```

Just like that, a family ranked in the top three of Baihe City was sentenced to death, and it was the kind that meant annihilation.

```

```

This stirred something deep within Song Chi; for the second time, he truly felt the exhilaration of having someone to back him up, as well as the importance of strength in this Interstellar Great Era.

```

```

Might makes right!

```

```

This very notion was maximized in this moment.

```

```

...

```

```

Jiangyuan City, at home.

```

```

Several hours had passed since his return from Baita City, and right now, Song Chi had three parcels placed in front of him, sent by his eldest uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle, respectively.

```

```

Aside from a few random Starry Sea Oddities, the parcels contained some rare and unique resources that were also valuable, though niche.

```

```

For example, the parcel from his eldest uncle contained a fist-sized piece of Icefield Cold Stone. This resource was almost useless within the Torch Human Civilization Territory, but it was indeed a rare resource.

In the Torch Human Civilization Territory, it could only be sold for a hundred strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, but for an Alien Race in need, selling it for a hundred strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin would be considered normal.

```

```

In addition to such niche resources, each of the three parcels contained a detailed inventory list.

```

```

Take, for example, the one from the second uncle Song Hai’s family:

```

```

Energy Crystal

```

```

Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence

```

```

Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Mother

```

Zhenjin

```

```

Zircon

```

```

Titanium Crystal

```

```

...

```

```

Without exception, these were either special resources necessary for the promotion of a First Rank Torch Warship to Second Rank, or required for the promotion to Third Rank.

```

```

Moreover, at this moment, he had more than three thousand strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin in hand, an initial purchasing fund provided by his oldest uncle, second uncle, and the others. If he actually came across the resources they needed, he could use these Floating Land Origins to purchase them. As long as the prices Song Chi offered were not too outrageous, they would reimburse him.

```

```

It wasn’t just the houses of the uncles; his parents, as well as his grandparents, did the same.

```

```

Regarding this, Song Chi felt a heavy responsibility.

```

```

Of course, within this, he would inevitably have to skim off a little bit of margin, after all, he couldn’t work for free.

```

```

While arranging all these items into the Ruins Market Secret Realm and setting them up in the various shops, and after listing all the resources sought by his relatives as well as himself in that "Purchasing Shop", Song Chi finally arrived at the Oddity Exchange Shop.

```

```

After carefully arranging an Orange Oddity, ten Purple Relics, and dozens of Blue Oddities, and looking at the increasingly splendid Oddity Exchange Shop, Song Chi nodded in satisfaction.

```

```

The most important was the [Terra Primeval Stone] placed in the most conspicuous position of the shop, which elevated the entire shop’s level.

```

```

An Orange Glory Quality Strange Object, no matter which civilization’s eyes it was viewed in, would definitely be considered a High Level Strange Object.
