"There’s no need to worry; the target of your Second Rank phase mission is just an extremely remote state on the Evil Buddha Continent. The Buddhist sect’s influence there is limited, and you won’t encounter any evil fallen or evil spirits above the Fifth Rank..."

At this point, Song Xuancang paused, then continued to say.

"Of course, if anyone becomes complacent because of this and later falls prey to the evil fallen as blood food or becomes a fetus of the Evil Buddha, don’t expect the family to come to your rescue. After all, on the Evil Buddha Continent, our Song family is nothing more than a slightly larger ant!"

Hearing these suddenly chilling words, the hearts of the ten members of the Song Chi group tightened, and the slight relaxation they had just felt was once again strained.

However, Song Xuancang’s tone softened again at this point.

"Alright, you have one week to make subsequent preparations. You will officially head to the Evil Buddha Continent in seven days. You may now leave.

Oh, and one more reminder— the Evil Buddha Clan, evil fallen, and evil spirits are all extremely adept at capabilities such as mental contamination and spiritual seduction. Remember to equip a component to protect the mind on the flagship."

All ten nodded in agreement—there was no need for Song Xuancang to emphasize this. After reviewing the basic information about the Evil Buddha Continent, everyone was aware of this point. They would all make targeted preparations during the next seven days.

...

The group of ten left the Clan Ancestral Hall one after another and the warship Summoning Room excavated beneath Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain by the family.

Unlike the other eight who hurriedly left, Song Chi and Song Bei rented a warship Summoning Room as their first move and began the division of spoils.

The first to be distributed were the Floating Land Origins of the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Ranks. There was not much to say about this; the two of them simply divided it equally.

Song Chi’s share consisted of 5,000 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, 200 strands of Fourth Rank, and 10 strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin.

The Zero, First, and Second Rank Floating Land Origins combined totaled over a million strands.

After the Floating Land Origins came the Starry Sea Oddities, before which Song Bei proactively spoke up:

"Brother Chi Clan, I wonder if you have any need for this Orange Quality warship armor?"

Song Chi’s eyes flashed, but ultimately, he shook his head truthfully.

Seeing this, the joy in Song Bei’s eyes intensified, while Song Chi, knowing what he was thinking, was the first to propose a distribution method he had been contemplating for a long time.

"Cousin, how about this? I’ll take all the Strange Objects that cannot be converted into shipboard components and the herbs and Spirit Fruits that Torch Ship Captains generally don’t need. If you agree, this Orange Quality warship armor is yours, and we’ll split everything else equally, including the Titanium Crystals, Blood Bodhis, and mineral resources."

Song Bei pondered for a moment but didn’t dwell on it for long. He nodded his head directly in agreement.

Of course, Song Chi was immensely pleased by this.

To trade one piece of Orange Quality warship armor for over a hundred Starry Sea Oddities, along with millennium Zhu Fruit, Thunderstruck Wood of a hundred thousand years, and Wannian Wood Spirit Flowers—such a trade would be considered equal at best by other Torch Ship Captains, but for someone with access to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market like him, this was an extremely profitable exchange.

Not to mention anything else, just that batch of hundred thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Wood alone would be extremely valuable on Zhou Ping’s Primordial Continent. Song Chi estimated that just this Thunderstruck Wood might be enough to exchange for an Orange Quality Starry Sea Oddity from the Luofu Sword Sect.

As for cultivators, Thunderstruck Wood has always been a superior material for Artifact Refining, let alone a hundred thousand-year-old specimen.

Thus, aside from the Thunderstruck Wood, the rest of the items were essentially a clear profit for him personally.

Not to mention the two Purple Relics that could be exchanged for other Purple Components, the millennium Zhu Fruit and Wannian Wood Spirit Flowers were also highly coveted items on the Primordial Continent.

After distributing these "miscellaneous items," the division of things like Blood Bodhis, Titanium Crystals, and mineral resources was much simpler—all were divided equally according to principle.

Of course, Song Chi received an extra 400,000 Blood Bodhis since the other party had already taken an equivalent amount in advance.

Once the entire distribution was completed, Song Bei’s smiling face could hardly be concealed. The resources he received from this division constituted an astonishing harvest for him. Not only did it fill the final gap in the defenses of the Northern, but the variety of resources was also exceptionally plentiful.

After parting ways, Song Chi headed straight for the Family Merit Hall.

He had left behind a million Blood Bodhis, also keeping the Fourth-Rank Blood Bodhi in his hand, while the other five million, he intended to hand them all over to the family for exchanging into Family Merit Points.

At present, the Tenth Direct Vein had only tens of thousands of clan members, the vast majority of whom were those ordinary people who had not yet awakened, practically without any use for Blood Bodhis. Keeping a million on hand, along with subsequent distributions from the family, would be enough for use within the pulse for a long time.

On the 31st floor of the Merit Tower, once Song Chi took out the mountain-like pile of Blood Bodhis, all the clan members on this floor almost completely fell into a stupor.

After nearly ten minutes, the clan member in charge of merit exchanges finished the count.

"After the count, Third-Rank Blood Bodhis 432, Second-Rank Blood Bodhis 10,800, First-Rank Blood Bodhis 410,000, Zeroth-Rank Blood Bodhis four million, seven hundred thousand, which can be exchanged for Merit Points of..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Song Chi raised his hand to interrupt them.

"May I ask if these Merit Points can be exchanged for Golden Merit?"

Faced with this request, the clan member showed a troubled expression, first scratching their head, and then apologetically said,

"I’m sorry, I need to ask for instructions from above..."

Song Chi shook his head, indicating he had no objections.

With such a number of Blood Bodhis, if they were all exchanged for Ordinary Merit Points, it would start at the very least with tens of millions, but what use would he have for so many Ordinary Merits?

Unless he was willing to deposit them all into the communal account of the pulse, but even though he was willing to help out the vein, he wasn’t playing that game.

Holding the Zhu Tian Ruins Market in his hand, he had considerable assets, but he wasn’t about to play the role of a scatterbrained benefactor.

Soon, a reply came from behind the exchange counter.

"Young clansman, the upper management has given two options; you can choose one of them."

"First, 300 Golden Merit Points + 10 million Ordinary Merit Points

Second, 200 Golden Merit Points + 100 Law Stones + 20 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin + 1,000 Titanium Crystals"

Between these two options, Song Chi had no need to hesitate and directly chose the second one.

As for Ordinary Merit Points, the vein still owed him a million points.

Another ten million points, what could he do with them? Wouldn’t they just collect dust in the account?

Soon, Song Chi’s account received 200 Golden Merit Points, and at the same time, he also got his hands on 100 Law Stones, 20 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, and 1,000 Titanium Crystals.

Calculating carefully, adding to the gains previously secured from the Divine Palace treasury, at this moment he had in his possession over 5,000 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, 220 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, 10 strands of Fifth-Rank, along with 100 Law Stones and 2,000 Titanium Crystals, it was indeed a huge and fulfilling profit.

Song Chi sighed, and it was only now that he had truly comprehended the profound truth behind the saying, "Murder and arson give you a golden belt."

This gain was probably worth his usual years of total income.

Of course, this excluded occurrences like the [Neutron Star Core Armor] appearing in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, or a high-rank Starry Sea Oddity, as well as not taking into account what he had obtained from that super-giant Tri-Eye Race flagship.

"This time I can do another round of major enhancements..."

Thinking thus, Song Chi forcibly suppressed the impulse to enhance on the spot, and stepped towards the upper floors of the Merit Tower.

Compared to strengthening components of the Cang Qiong, what’s more important right now is to quickly obtain a high-quality Spiritual protection component, or if that’s not possible, an Abnormal Status Purifier would also do.

As for the [Constant State Purifier], its Quality was too low, and although it had long been enhanced to the limit of lv39, Evil Buddha Continent being a seventh-grade Starry Sea Floating Land, at this level of Floating Land, a blue component really couldn’t give Song Chi a bit of security.
