Before he had finished speaking, Song Chi directly presented the [Ruins Market Guest Token] he used to disguise his identity. Seeing this, Elon finally relaxed, and they began to discuss further.

However, the conversation did not last long. It was not due to Song Chi, but because Elon indicated that he was not currently able to purchase the storage capsules in large quantities, and that they would have to change identities before they could formally start trading.

As time passed, before the Ruins Market trade ended, Song Chi found Zhou Ping and, assuming the identity of the Blue Blood Clan, purchased a large batch of lower- and intermediate-rank spirit stones from him.

This was for the Immortal Domain Spirit Soil that his grandfather would need later on, which he naturally had not forgotten.

...

The Zhu Tian Ruins Market, as the trading came to an end, once again returned to its usual silence.

At the side of the market, in front of the Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform, Song Chi carefully counted all the gains from this trade while taking out one hundred thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin from the Ancestral Torch.

One piece of red warship armor

One hundred strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin

Twelve hundred strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin

Fifty pieces of titanium crystal

Eight thousand six hundred strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin

One hundred thousand lower-rank spirit stones

Ten thousand intermediate-rank spirit stones

Over four hundred thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin (two hundred thousand of which needed to be given to the family)

Various other resources to make up the difference

Among these gains, there were originally supposed to be an additional two hundred thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, but those were later used to purchase spirit stones from Zhou Ping.

Of course, those spirit stones would later be used in the Dragon Blood Mystic Realm and were considered communal property of the family, so the two hundred thousand strands of Floating Land Origin spent were naturally deducted from the original four hundred thousand.

For those strands of Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi was not concerned. His attention was on the Third Rank and Second Rank Floating Land Origin.

Although no Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin appeared this time, as the Ruins Market was promoted to Second Rank and the Second Rank Alien Races were also able to enter the market, the number of creatures visiting the Floating Land Origin exchange stores clearly increased, which was evident from the quantity of Second Rank Floating Land Origin acquired.

In the past, at the end of each Ruins Market trade, including the rental fees for the three leased stores, one would at most get around five to six hundred strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, but this time it directly reached twelve hundred.

Moreover, those one hundred strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin were proactively offered by a Second Rank Alien Race member in exchange for fourteen hundred strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin.

This was a bit of an unexpected gain.

After counting the gains from the Ruins Market trade, Song Chi put the freshly taken out one hundred thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin onto the Synthesis Platform.

After three consecutive syntheses, they transformed into one hundred strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin.

Clenching the newly synthesized one hundred strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi returned to the Cang Qiong above the outside world.

24 hours later, the duration of the [Sonic Silence Field] component had ended, and naturally, the four Furious Tiger Mining Carts had also stopped their mining operations.

Reactivating this component and allowing the four Furious Tiger Mining Carts to continue working, Song Chi quickly took out the [Neutron Star Core Armor] without hesitation and replaced the [Obsidian Ship Armor] component.

Although his hands moved swiftly, Song Chi was actually inwardly bleeding. The [Obsidian Ship Armor] had been enhanced to lv30, and with this replacement, all the resources previously spent on enhancement were wasted.

But there was no other way, he couldn’t just let a piece of red armor sit unused.

"It seems there are special components that can actively retain the enhancement level of uninstalled parts, or refund the enhancement resources. If I get the chance, I really need to get one; otherwise, it’s too much of a loss!"

Muttering, Song Chi began to enhance the Cang Qiong.

However, the first thing he enhanced was not the newly loaded [Neutron Star Core Armor] component, but the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon].

After two consecutive enhancements, this orange main cannon was enhanced to the current limit of the warship’s body, lv39.

Its attack damage increased from lv37’s 1,798,200 to 2,150,400.

But after enhancing this main cannon, Song Chi had only 320 titanium crystals left, and there were only 122 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin remaining.

Then came the most crucial part of the entire process.

Without hesitation, he straight away enhanced the [Neutron Star Core Armor] to lv30.

As expected, facing a red, epic component, the resources that had just come in dwindled rapidly.

In just a moment, the 320 titanium crystals he had left were reduced to 145, and nearly three thousand strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin were cut by 1060, more than a third.

However, proportional to this was the enhancement of the attributes of the [Neutron Star Core Armor] component.

Neutron Star Core Armor lv30

Quality: Red

Feature: Neutron Star Fission

Feature 2: Neutron Star Core Pulse

Feature 3: Additional 140% increase in defense value from the armor

Consumption: 500/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Defence: 756,000

No need for charge and buffer

UpRank Requirement: 20 strands of Floating Land Origin (Third Rank), 70,000 Spectral Energy Points, 50 tons of cobalt stone, 43 titanium crystals

{Neutron Star Fission: Consumes 30,000 Spectral Energy Points, temporarily transforms the warship into a mini neutron star form, withstanding attacks from outside, lasting 80 seconds, with a cooldown time of 36 hours.}

{Neutron Star Core Pulse: The armor layer transformed from the neutron star core contains endless pulse energy. When the warship is damaged, this infinite pulse energy wave will continuously repair the ship’s armor and energy shield, restoring 3% of the armor layer every 15s, and 3% of the shipborne energy shield value every 30s.}

Not to mention the impressive 756,000 defense value, the duration of Neutron Star Fission alone increased from 10s to 80s, and the cooldown time was reduced from three days to just one and a half.

But the most crucial feature is the "Neutron Star Core Pulse," with a 3% repair of the armor layer every 15s, meaning that as long as the Cang Qiong’s warship armor isn’t completely destroyed, it can simply wait for less than nine minutes to be fully revived with full health.
