{Peeping Spirit Eyes: Consumes 10000 Spectral Energy Points, after a 30-minute charge, performs spiritual detection within 1/10 of the radar’s detection range, actively searching for all white Starry Sea Oddities within that range, cooldown time 240 hours.}

Song Chi’s eyes widened with joy shimmering in their depths. Without a doubt, this “Peeping Spirit Eyes” was the crème de la crème of space radars, not only boasting rare features such as extended detection range and improved detection priority, but its key “Peeping Spirit Eyes” feature was extremely important for any Torch Warship.

It allowed for targeted search of Starry Sea Floating Land, greatly increasing a Torch Ship Captain’s gains while exploring the Alien Star Domain. Although it was currently limited to searching for white oddities, it was clearly a feature with growth potential. With an increased Enhancement Level, it was expected that blue, purple, and even orange oddities would fall within its search parameters.

The only regret might be its lack of a “Star Chart Collector” capability, which meant it would not be possible for spontaneous jumps to Star Domains beyond the radar’s detection distance during exploration in the Alien Star Domain.

Fortunately, as a red radar, it had the feature to extend the detection range on its own. Once the Enhancement Level was upgraded, the radar’s range should far exceed that of the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magic Energy Detection Radar], and by then, the distances the warship could jump should still be considerable.

As for the “Magic Energy Detection feature” of the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magic Energy Detection Radar], Song Chi’s solution was to find a way to get a special component dedicated to ground detection in the future.

Despite being immensely satisfied with this “Peeping Spirit Eyes” radar, Song Chi could not immediately install it. The Enhancement Level of the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] had already reached Fourth Rank, and he had invested considerable resources in it. He would have to apply to use the [Tri-Eye Solidifying Ring] from the Song Family later on.

As the contributor of this clan-securing component, he had the right of first refusal for its use, so there was no need to worry about hindrance.

…

After leaving the inn, Song Chi did not leave the Ruins Market but instead went to the very back of the market, activating another transaction in the Ruins Market, which had already completed its cooldown.

Of course, before starting this transaction, Song Chi had gone out for a errand, and by the time he returned, the Cang Qiong ship was filled with various herbs that had already been sorted.

All these were the herbs his parents had bought from within the Pulse at low prices from the family recently. If Zhou Ping could take them all, they would earn at least several million strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.

Besides, there were also quite a few seeds of Floating Land plants purchased by his fourth uncle, though the quantity wasn’t too large as they had only started purchasing them a little over a month ago.

In the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, within the Immortal Cultivation shop, Song Chi, in the guise of the Four-Armed Blue Blood race, was having a heated negotiation over purchase prices with Zhou Ping.

At the moment, he was using the identity of an alien race that had successfully obtained the Ruins Market Walking Rank, devoid of any concerns about affecting the overall vibe of the Ruins Market, allowing him to haggle as he pleased.

“3 million strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin? No way. These herbs weren’t easy to gather. I must get 5 million!”

Opposite him, Zhou Ping was equally unyielding, arguing his point:

“5 million strands is too high. You need to understand something, you’re the only one I’m buying from. If I decide not to buy, you’ll be stuck with all these herbs.”

But Song Chi wouldn’t fall for that.

“Not buying? You must be making a tight profit, where else could you get such quantities? But well…”

Saying so, he deliberately paused, piquing Zhou Ping’s curiosity, then continued:

“If you trade entirely in Second Rank or higher Floating Land Origin, I can drop the price to 20,000 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin!”

Talking all the while, Song Chi’s expression didn’t change in the slightest; this was actually his ultimate goal.

Now, he already had tens of millions of Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origins in hand, which he was not lacking at all. What he wanted was Second Rank or higher Floating Land Origins.

At least Second Rank Level Floating Land Origins, just by raising the ratio a bit, he had the chance to exchange them for Third Rank Floating Land Origins in the outside world, which would also enable him to further digest his Zero and First Rank Floating Land Origins in hand.

Zhou Ping’s eyes flickered for a while, but in the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation of the large quantity of urgently needed herbs that Song Chi had, and nodded in agreement.

Once the transaction was completed, Zhou Ping tentatively asked,

“Blue Blood Brother, I wonder if you can continue to provide these?”

Song Chi, who had expected him to ask this, pretended to be troubled and hesitated for quite a while before speaking,

“Getting these things is not easy, as you know. I have been watching you buy herbs for a long time, but in the end, I’ve only managed to get so much. Although it can indeed make a fair amount of money, it’s really too troublesome…”

Hearing his troubled response, Zhou Ping seemed somewhat unwilling to let it go and continued to press,

“It doesn’t matter if the quantity is smaller, I’ll still buy them. How about this, I’ll try to trade with you using Second or Third Rank Level Spiritual Mechanisms in the future, and if the sect master and others agree, even Fourth Rank… Floating Land Origins are fine!”

Song Chi, who had been waiting for this sentence, struggled to decide in a pretentious manner again, but eventually pretended to be enticed by the Fourth Rank Floating Land Origins and agreed.

After completing the transaction with Zhou Ping, Song Chi made his way toward the Treant Race who had just entered the Ruins Market last time.

“Friend, do you accept these Floating Land plant seeds?”

Without beating around the bush, Song Chi directly took out the seeds that his uncle had acquired over the past month or so.

Seeing that the Treants were quite sensible and bought these seeds at several dozen times the price they were acquired for from within the Pulse, Song Chi nodded in satisfaction.

These seeds were all from powerful plants on the Floating Lands across the vast Starry Seas under the Song family’s jurisdiction, all with potential of at least Second Rank. If the Treants weren’t interested in these, Song Chi would seriously question their judgement as Treants.

After collecting the not-so-large quantity of Second and Third Rank Floating Land Origins that the other party used to purchase the seeds, Song Chi didn’t leave. He reached into a storage capsule on his left side, fumbling around before taking out several blood-colored seeds.

These seeds were not only bright red on the outside but also exuded a strong scent of blood. They were the very seeds obtained from killing the Blood Crow Meat Locust Tree.

Although these were seeds of cosmic plants, the family wasn’t too interested in them since they are difficult to control, have a long growth cycle, and require large quantities of flesh and blood to feed. Even if they were placed in a secret realm to expedite growth with time acceleration, it would cause significant damage to the secret realm itself, making them a low cost-benefit ratio. So Song Chi simply decided to let the Treant Race have a try.

Originally thinking that the Treant Race wouldn’t have much interest in them either, but when he took out the seeds of the Blood Crow Meat Locust Tree, a few members of the Treant Race showed a quite significant interest.

Soon, after the Treants discussed among themselves, they brought out ten strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origins.

The meaning was to exchange these ten strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin for the five seeds of the Blood Crow Meat Locust Tree that he had.

Song Chi paused for a moment. The offer had actually exceeded his expectations greatly, but considering the Treant Race’s decisive offer, he gently shook his head.

“This is the seed of the cosmic plant ‘Blood Crow Meat Locust Tree.’ Once cultivated, it’s equivalent to controlling countless Blood Crow underlings. Fourth Rank Floating Land Origins are not enough!”

“Although that’s the case, the difficulty in cultivating cosmic plants far exceeds that of Floating Land plants. Even if we have unique innate gifts in this area, it will definitely not be easy!”

From the tone of these Treants, it was evident that they were very straightforward, so they eventually came up with another price.

“Five strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Origin, that’s the highest price we can offer!”

Hearing this, a now more than satisfied Song Chi nodded in agreement.

He never imagined that the seeds of the Blood Crow Meat Locust Tree could bring such a huge surprise. Fifth-Rank Floating Land Origins were extremely scarce even within the Song family.
