Chapter 1084 - 573: Gold [Chicang's No. 004 Cultivation Secret Realm]_2
Here is the translated text:
Song Chi didn’t pay attention to this but instead retrieved an item from the Ancestral Torch, a component emitting golden light.
Heavenly Frost Crown lv0
Quality: Gold
Feature: Frost Cold Shield
Feature 2: Increases efficiency of Ice Law comprehension on warships by 350%
…
Bai Mei’s crystalline eyes scanned the attributes of the [Heavenly Frost Crown], then she quickly lifted her gaze to meet Song Chi’s eyes.
“Did this come from Shang Jie?”
Faced with this question, Song Chi did not hesitate and simply nodded.
Even before taking out this component, he had already predicted Bai Mei would inevitably ask this.
The external appearance of the “Heavenly Frost Luan Bird True Spirit Protection” feature was too recognizable, which was also one of the reasons he didn’t want to keep this component.
Although the [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] had successfully cut off Shang Family’s continuous tracking, a full-scale war was on the horizon, where life-and-death crises could arise at any moment. A True Spirit Guardian component that couldn’t be freely utilized would be utterly wasted.
If he did use it, the distinctiveness of the feature would make it hard to conceal under watchful eyes. If word reached Shang Jie, it would spell trouble.
Without being able to activate the “Heavenly Frost Luan Bird True Spirit Protection” feature, the Ice Law comprehension enhancement was useless to him, reducing the component’s value dramatically.
In comparison, Bai Mei, who had comprehension of the Ice Law, was clearly much more suited to this component.
As for worries that Bai Mei might leak the matter?
Song Chi had considered this at great length and ultimately deemed it unlikely.
In his view, back in the [Blood Battle Secret Realm], Bai Mei had likely already suspected something, yet she hadn’t brought the matter up later, not even asking about it.
Seeing Song Chi’s decisive nod, Bai Mei withdrew her gaze, but she didn’t immediately respond. The two fell into silence.
Breaking the silence, Song Chi proactively opened his mouth.
“It’s fine, don’t feel pressured. If you don’t need it, I can sell it through other channels.”
Bai Mei did not respond to this. Instead, she produced three items from her person.
Placing the three objects before Song Chi, Bai Mei continued:
“This [Heavenly Frost Crown] will be useful to me. In return, you can choose one from these three items.”
Upon hearing Bai Mei’s agreement, Song Chi quickly shifted his gaze to the three items in her hands.
Among the three items, two were golden components, while the last one was a unique spirit fruit.
Song Chi attentively examined the attributes of each.
Earth Splitting Treasure Pearl lv0
Quality: Gold
Feature: Crack Earth Shield
Feature 2: Enhances internal warship Law of Earth comprehension degree by 140%
Feature 3: Earth Resistance +1000
Feature 4: Earth Healing
Feature 5: Crack Earth Dominator True Spirit Guard
…
Rashamon Clan Soldier Tree lv0
Quality: Gold
Feature: Power of Darkness
Feature 2: Increases summonable Soldier Figurine count by +10
Feature 3: Rashamon Demon Scythe
…
Of the two golden components, one was also a True Spirit Guardian component but with Earth attributes, which were unsuitable for him.
The other was the Soldier Figurine Tree. Rashamon Clan Soldier Figurine—Song Chi had long heard of the Rashamon Clan, which was also recognized as one of the Torch Human Civilization’s top ten Overlord Level Civilizations, comparable in strength to the Tri-Eye Race.
As the leading tribe of an Overlord Level Civilization, the Rashamon Clan naturally possessed unparalleled talent—they were innate killers.
If the third item did not exist, Song Chi’s choice would undoubtedly be the [Rashamon Clan Soldier Tree] component. However, his attention was quickly drawn to the third item.
The third wasn’t a Starry Sea Oddity or a component, but its effect was far more tempting to him.
It was a golden apple, at the Eighth-Order level.
The golden apple was a product of the ultra-rare [Golden Apple Mother Tree], corresponding to the [Silver Apple Mother Tree].
Compared to silver apples, golden apples shared the same function—allowing any chosen Starry Sea Oddity or spacecraft component to upgrade its quality by one rank.
The difference between the two lay solely in their potential.
The [Silver Apple Mother Tree] could only grow up to the Seventh Rank, meaning silver apples would also max out at the Seventh Rank, enabling red Epic Treasures to evolve into silver Legendary Oddities.
By contrast, the [Golden Apple Mother Tree] boasted far greater potential. According to information publicly disclosed by the Torch Human Civilization, there was once a Torch Ship Captain who had seen a [Golden Apple Mother Tree] grown to Mythical rank.
The moment Song Chi laid eyes on the Eighth-Order [Golden Apple], his gaze locked onto it.
At that moment, he immediately thought of the [Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm] component, followed by [Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon], [Dome Sky Brain System], and several others. With this golden apple, he could immediately evolve any one of those components into golden quality.
With the thought in mind, he hesitated only for a moment before making his decision.
“I’ll take this Eighth-Order Golden Apple!”
As his words fell, Bai Mei unhesitatingly handed over the golden apple.
Not directly taking the [Golden Apple] in his hand, Song Chi quickly added:
“Bai Mei, this [Heavenly Frost Crown], even after you load it, using the ‘Heavenly Frost Luan Bird True Spirit Protection’ feature won’t be easy. Strictly speaking, I’ve gained the upper hand. How about this? I’ll throw in a Fifth-Order [Time Realm Fruit].”
With that, he tossed a White Jade Fruit to Bai Mei.
Although Bai Mei’s background was quite extraordinary, she still couldn’t fully ignore interference from the Shang Family. Therefore, it was likely she was acquiring the [Heavenly Frost Crown] solely for the Ice Law comprehension enhancement, and thus, the trade wasn’t entirely equitable.
Taking the Fifth-Order [Time Realm Fruit], Bai Mei seemed deep in thought and didn’t say anything.
Seeing this, before logging out, Song Chi gave one last reminder.
“Be wary of the Shang Family possibly pursuing traces of this again!”
In recent years, the Shang Family hadn’t shown much interest in tracking him further, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t suddenly resume their pursuit.
…
Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Free Stall Zone.
Returning from the Shaking Light Star Tower, Song Chi went straight back to the market.
Within the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Control Room, he held the Eighth-Order [Golden Apple] in his hand, his gaze shifting repeatedly between the warship’s several silver components.
[Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm][Bow of the Annihilation of All Spirits][Dome Sky Brain System][Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon][Final Blessing][Red Vault Jump Device]
He pondered which component would benefit most from the [Golden Apple].
After a brief hesitation, he finally settled on [Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm].
This cultivation-type secret realm component contained numerous rare plants within.
From [Silver Apple Mother Tree] and [Time Realm Tree] alone, their value was unimaginable.
Not to mention the [Law Tree], [Green Water Spiritual Spring], [Green Blood Peach Tree], [Immortal Domain Spirit Soil], [Divine Tempering Fruit Tree].
As the Golden Apple slowly merged with this component, [Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm] began to emit radiant energy.
The process lasted about ten minutes, and when the silver light fully transformed into golden light, the component had officially evolved into Golden Sanctuary Quality.
Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm lv70
Quality: Gold
Feature: Plant growth speed increased by 350%
Feature 2: Alien plant transplantation success rate increased by 70%
Feature 3: Secret Realm Accelerator
Feature 4: Time Marrow Fluid
Feature 5: Space Divine Crystal
Consumption: 2500/s (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: Once loaded, the secret realm becomes fully bound to the warship, allowing free entry and exit.
…
Looking at the newly evolved [Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm], Song Chi’s gaze fell on its newly added “Space Divine Crystal” feature.
{Space Divine Crystal: A unique spatial resource that generates one piece every ten thousand years. The longer the nurturing period, the higher the quality, with highly specialized functions.}
After advancing to Golden Sanctuary Quality, the Breeding Secret Realm had gained another type of special Secret Realm resource.
Space Divine Crystal—a resource Song Chi had used before. It could directly enhance a creature’s Space Law comprehension, making it an exceptionally rare asset.
Moreover, the “Secret Realm Accelerator” feature’s time acceleration effect had been further amplified, from the previous 220× (current component level) to 350× (current component level). Combined with the secret realm itself and the enhancements of [Green Water Spiritual Spring] and [Immortal Domain Spirit Soil], the time span of acceleration in one cycle could reach an astonishing forty thousand years.
