Chapter 473: Chapter 253: Zhulu Warship [Furious Battle Mad Lion]_2

“Little fella, the next third stage is the Pusuo Heritage Tower. Remember to go all out, as you might gain an extraordinary harvest…”

…

Although Song Chi paid no heed to the praise from the six clan elders, he was focused on the term “Pusuo Heritage Tower” mentioned by Clan Elder Song Daijiang.

According to him, the final third stage of the competition would no longer involve fighting but would instead target the Pusuo Heritage Tower.

The Pusuo Heritage Tower was like the [Immortal Puppet Tower] in the secret realm of the family clan. It stood in an unknown star domain, untraceable and imperceptible. No creature knew its exact location, and one could only reach that unknown place via the path actively sent out by the tower itself.

As for the mechanism of the [Pusuo Heritage Tower], it was similar to that of the Immortal Puppet Tower—the higher the level one managed to ascend within the challenges of the heritage tower, the more inheritance rewards one could obtain.

The higher one climbed, the rarer the rewards dispensed by the heritage tower.

Although the mechanisms of the two towers were remarkably alike, never confuse one for the other.

The family’s [Immortal Puppet Tower], though not bad, could at most nurture components for orange-quality puppet soldiers. But this [Pusuo Heritage Tower]—according to the information collected by the clan over hundreds of years—not only orange oddities, but red, silver, and even objects of quality above silver had appeared several times, terrifyingly high in quality.

You can imagine how excited Song Chi was when he first heard this news, as he had plenty of confidence in Cang Qiong.

Time flies swiftly, and a day later, all the congratulating clan members had left. However, this did not mean peace had returned around Green Moon Lake. The entire Tenth Direct Vein was to celebrate for more than a month.

The appearance of the Furious Battle Mad Lion signified more than just a Zhulu Warship for the people of the Tenth Direct Vein—it meant so much more…

The only direct vein under the six pulses with a Zhulu Warship,

A greater voice in the Council of Elders,

The number of subordinate branches in the Alien Star Domain is sure to skyrocket,

Any of these factors would be incredibly valuable for a pulse that had only been rebuilt for a few short years.

Although Song Chi was aware of these matters within the pulse, he did not participate, as he had more important things to do at the moment.

To elevate the enhancement level of every part of Cang Qiong as much as possible.

Now that he was privy to the various information about the [Pusuo Heritage Tower], he naturally had to prepare as thoroughly as possible. Only then would he have more chances to tackle the challenges of the [Pusuo Heritage Tower] later on.

Let’s not even talk about silver or above-silver quality items; obtaining even one red epic-quality oddity would be enough to satisfy anyone.

It may seem like Cang Qiong has no shortage of silver and red components, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to come by a red epic relic.

Not to mention the engines, patrol radars, main cannons, and secondary cannons on board Cang Qiong are merely orange or even below orange in quality.

“Let’s do this, Song Chi, my clan brother. I’ll mark this ancient corpse at the peak of the Fourth Rank as 120 golden merit points for you. After the clan’s deduction, how does 100 golden merit points sound?”

Inside the Merit Tower, after several negotiations, the last ancient corpse spanning ten thousand meters was exchanged with the Family Merit Hall by Song Chi for 100 golden merit points.

Under normal circumstances, of course, Song Chi would not have wished to do this because this essentially reduced its value by one-sixth.

The Furious Lion had successfully advanced to the Fourth Rank, and with some time, it could extract the primordial blood from the ancient corpse on its own, completely bypassing the clan.

But the issue was that this would take a considerable amount of time, which was exactly what Song Chi was short on at the moment.

If he wanted to continue enhancing the components of Cang Qiong, he naturally required more Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, Law Stones, Titanium Crystals, and such—all of which required golden merit points for exchange.

With these 100 golden merit points, Song Chi could continue with his subsequent preparations.

In the following period, several core members of the Tenth Direct Vein repeatedly entered the Family Merit Hall, spending all their quotas of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, Titanium Crystals, Law Stones, etc., to exhaustion.

A few days later, in the Ruins Market Secret Realm, at the free stall area.

Within the silently docked Cang Qiong, Song Chi looked at the various components before him with satisfaction.

In the past week, people within the pulse had successively exchanged for him over 50 law stones, two thousand titanium crystals, and more. Even though this once again depleted the three-digit sum of golden merit points in his possession, the tangible enhancement of the Cang Qiong was undeniable.

[Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield]lv40→lv42

[Neutron Star Core Armor]lv40→lv43

[Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon]lv40→lv49

[Shadow Breaker Cannon]lv40→lv44

[Cold Light Heavenly Frost Cannon]lv30→lv40

…

With the enhancement of these five components, the combat power of Cang Qiong had solidly increased, in terms of both defense and offense.

However, this also resulted in the depletion of Song Chi’s high-level resources once again.

Of course, even if he still had reserves, he wouldn’t enhance further lightly. The [Light Energy Aggregation Engine] that had already been enhanced to its current limit was at the brink of the balance point for energy supply.

Otherwise, he would probably not have enhanced the [Shadow Breaker Cannon] but would have continued enhancing the two defense components.

But alas, those two components are continuous energy consumers, and further enhancement would disrupt the energy balance.

Haven’t you noticed that aside from these two components, he didn’t dare to further enhance other parts like the third-rank [Void Escape Orb], [Phantom Thruster], [Void Gate], and more?

As of now, the enhancements for Cang Qiong are drawing to a close. Until there is further enhancement or replacement of the shipborne engine components, there will be no significant further enhancements.

However, this doesn’t mean that Song Chi’s preparatory work is over, as he still has more preparations to make.

In the void space outside of the Ruins Market Secret Realm, a crystal stone shining with dazzling light quietly hovered. The glow it emitted was particularly eye-catching in the eternal silence of the void and even more so for the void demons that were extremely sensitive to light.

As a result, in just a few hours, horde after horde of void demons flocked to the light. The Cang Qiong, lurking in the background, would immediately exterminate all these demons as long as it didn’t detect the presence of fourth rank or higher void demons.

Batch after batch, in just twenty days, Song Chi had accumulated over two hundred void crystals, with nearly ten thousand of the second rank and below, not to mention two fourth-rank level void crystals.

The void demons that contributed these two were both killed by the void demon enslaved by Song Chi. In this void dark space without the protection of origin laws and with the aid of the Cang Qiong, killing two demons that were just stepping into the fourth rank was not difficult.

Killing the two void demons was not difficult, but this didn’t mean the process was smooth sailing.

When killing the second fourth-rank void demon, a fifth-rank entity behind it was alarmed, posing a great threat to the Cang Qiong. If not for Song Chi’s constant vigilance and immediate teleportation back to the Ruins Market at the first sign of danger, who knows what might have occurred.

This was the sign that Cang Qiong’s hunting mission had ended.

At the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, looking at the five-digit number of void crystals in hand and the face that had been tense for twenty days, a long-lost sense of surprise finally appeared.

These void crystals would be his capital for trading with the high-level aliens of the Starry Sea at the upcoming Pusuo Heritage Tower.

Every ten thousand years, the Pusuo Heritage Tower spontaneously generates only a limited number of paths, which is pitifully few.

Yet, this exceedingly mysterious old tower has stood for endless ages, so how could the cumulative number of paths be few?

The more pathways there are, the more Starry Sea Alien Races will converge, and over time, a unique trading market has already formed around the Pusuo Heritage Tower. According to a few clan elders, anything could appear in that market, and being well-prepared with some universal trading currency might lead to unexpected gains.

What constitutes universal trading currency?

Void crystals, third and fourth rank and above Floating Land Origins, high-level biological origin blood, Starry Sea oddities, etc.—these all count.

And it is precisely these void crystals that Song Chi has prepared for himself.

“I hope to find Ice Origin Stones and third-rank blood cores. If there are top-rank fire sources of orange quality for upranking, that would be even better.”

PS: I’ve been having health issues, went to the hospital today but it’s not all sorted yet, have to continue tomorrow, I’ll try my best to keep updating!
