Scanning the array of shipborne components, Song Chi’s choice this time was different from the past.

Normally, the first thing he would look at would be nothing more than a few orange components and that red "Enslavement Medal," but this time his gaze rested on the inconspicuous "Abnormal Status Purifier."

As a blue Quality special component, this "Abnormal Status Purifier" had been enhanced to lv20 a long time ago and had not received any further attention since.

However, with the upcoming journey to the Soul Spirit Floating Land and facing the Soul Spirit Clan who have a great advantage in the divine soul aspect, the "Abnormal Status Purifier" was likely to come in quite handy, so of course, the related enhancements needed to be expedited.

After ten consecutive enhancements, this special component reached lv30, using a total of 265 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.

As for the effect, mainly its emitted Purification Aura reached the Third-Rank Level; otherwise, there wasn’t much else to feel.

To enhance it from lv30 to lv31 after reaching the Third Rank would require 5 strands of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin + 20000 Spectral Energy drop. After some thought, Song Chi spent 117 strands of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin to raise it to lv39.

By then, it had not only reached the enhancement limit imposed by the ship’s body but also the component’s own limit; for blue components, the enhancement limit is lv39.

Concerning his own subsequent survival, Song Chi naturally would not skimp in this area.

After enhancing this component, Song Chi’s attention switched to one of the three orange components currently equipped on the Cang Qiong, the "Void Phantom Assassin Soldier Figure Tree."

Of course, had the "Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar" been loaded too, there would have been four.

The Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines were key in his subsequent plans on the Soul Spirit Floating Land for completing various tasks like assassination and surveillance, and they must be enhanced to the Third Rank level.

However, frustratingly, this component needed 540 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin + 90 Titanium Crystals just to enhance from lv20 to lv29, and another 30 Titanium Crystals to go from lv29 to lv30. However, he had only 86 crystals on hand.

Additionally, the "Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar" needed to be enhanced later as well, so clearly, he wasn’t sufficiently stocked on either Titanium Crystals or Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.

Thinking of this, Song Chi felt a headache coming on.

...

Green Moon Manor, the courtyard where his Uncle and Aunt resided.

"Little Chi, what’s the matter?"

On one side, his Aunt asked softly while the Uncle quietly waited.

Song Chi spoke softly,

"Uncle, recently those relatives from the direct and legitimate lines have been frequently coming to ask for the Worm Mother Purple Crystal Skin..."

As he said this, he summoned the Cang Qiong and took out a roughly four-hundred-meter long evenly cut segment of Purple Crystal Skin.

Indeed, the remaining nine hundred meters of Worm Mother Skin had been divided, and besides this piece, there was still about a five hundred meter segment stored in the Ruins Market warehouse, which Song Chi was not ready to use just yet; it was always good to have some in reserve.

Originally, Song Chi planned to have his parents take care of this for him, but his father had vetoed the idea.

The reason was that the Worm Mother Skin was quite valuable, and those asking for it were mostly Third-Rank Level relatives from various family branches; it would be more appropriate for his Uncle to handle it, as negotiations hadn’t even started, and it would already be a disadvantage.

Song Shan was somewhat surprised, but he quickly understood something.

"Are you short of money?"

Song Chi nodded sheepishly.

Seeing this, Song Shan smiled gently. It was rare for Song Chi, his nephew with quite an extraordinary fate, to be short on money.

After thinking for a while, Song Shan took the four-hundred-meter-long segment of Purple Crystal Skin and made a light swipe on his Quantum Communication Bracelet.

2 points of Golden Merit were transferred to Song Chi’s personal account.

Before Song Chi could refuse, Song Shan explained,

"This is the collective thank you gift from everyone in the family for the Purple Bionic Skin Battle Armor; don’t refuse it. After all, it’s us elders who are really benefiting from your advantage, Little Chi."

"As for this segment of Worm Mother Skin, write down on a note what resources you need, and your Uncle will help you trade with the family branches accordingly."

Hearing this, Song Chi didn’t say much more. He first took out a cloth bag from the Cang Qiong and handed it to his Uncle.

Included in the cloth bag was the remaining Zircon, as well as a Low-Level Energy Crystal and a piece of Ocean Spirit Stone acquired from several months of Ruins Market trades, although they were only effective for First-Rank Torch Warships. However, with his elder brother Song Qi soon attempting to advance, these resources were necessary.

Additionally, he thoroughly explained the matter of the Terrastone to his Uncle, but changed the story to say that the Zhu Tian Ruins Market Lord had also given a Ruins Market Guest Token to the High-Level Goblin, allowing ongoing trade with the latter.

Of course, the specific purchase price was still uncertain, and they would have to wait for the next Ruins Market trade to finalize it.

"Don’t worry, I’ll have your Second Uncle take care of the Terrastone purchases. As for the specific distribution of profits..."

Hearing this, Song Chi quickly interrupted,

"Uncle, for the subsequent profits from the Terrastone, taking just ten percent of the net profit is enough for me!"

The reason for this decision was twofold: one, the family would need to work hard to acquire and discretely transport Terrastone, incurring costs in labor and transport on their part, while he would merely act as an intermediary, so it was only right that the family would take the larger share.

And two, his own branch of the family was significantly lacking in power; not to mention Fourth-Rank individuals who could wield influence within the family, they had just two at the Third Rank, hardly impressive.
