Chapter 886 - 463: The Transaction
“Ancestor, here’s the thing, I…”
Song Chi quickly recounted the situation in detail to Song Wujiang, listing the items that the Corpse Dog could offer for exchange, and then he waited patiently for a response.
In fact, he still had a Sixth Rank Moon Spring in his hands, but that was reserved for his future use; he couldn’t possibly trade away his own share of the Moon Spring.
After all, considering years of trading with the Dark Night Elves and the New Moon Tribe backing them, the Sixth Rank Moon Springs in their possession were extremely limited. From beginning to end, they had only traded two portions of Sixth Rank Level Moon Springs. He didn’t know if there would be any more in the future, or when they might become available, so he needed to keep a share for himself in advance.
Of course, if Song Wujiang was willing to offer that Sixth Rank Moon Spring this time, he would do everything in his power to secure another portion later on.
After decades of pioneering wars, not only the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had solidified its foundation, but the Dinghai Dragon Steed had also advanced further into a Senior Dreadnought, not far from the Ultimate Dreadnought.
This also meant that it might not be long before Song Wujiang attempted to break through to a Star-Annihilating Starship, to elevate the family into the ranks of the Immortal Clans. Thus, he would greatly need a Sixth Rank Moon Spring as insurance.
Of course, if it were really impossible to secure one, and the Dinghai Dragon Steed failed its attempt to become a Star-Annihilating Starship, Song Chi would not be stingy with his own portion.
He didn’t have to wait long—the reply from Song Wujiang came quickly through the communicator.
“This Time Crown·Fake component is quite good, a very rare time-based starship component with cooldown reduction and local time reversal capabilities. It’s a pity the reversal duration is too short. Little Chi, first ask if they have the Silver Tier Upgrade Fire Source. The quality of our Prime Ancestor’s Torch Seed is a serious shortcoming!”
“Understood!”
Song Chi answered and, while the communication duration on the Long-Range Communicator had not yet ended, he quickly picked up the Shaking Light 32 Order.
“32nd Order ‘Waking of Insects’: Uncle Corpse Dog, the other party wants a Silver Tier Upgrade Fire Source. Do you have one?”
Star Rank group chat
With the sending of Song Chi’s message, the members of the Shaking Light Star Tower scattered across the world all heaved a sigh of relief.
What was being requested wasn’t important; what mattered was that the other party was willing to make a move. That made things easier.
Before “Corpse Dog” could respond, “Yulong” took the lead in replying:
“Waking of Insects, go ahead and agree. I can get a Silver Tier Upgrade Fire Source!”
If it were anyone else making that claim, Song Chi might have hesitated, but since it was “Yulong,” he almost didn’t think twice, his first thought was to believe it.
Behind Cui Yulong stood the Eighth Rank mighty Changsun Family. Others might not be able to offer a Silver Tier Upgrade Fire Source, but to say that Changsun Family’s Secret Vault didn’t possess one would be unbelievable to anyone.
He was about to agree when Uncle Corpse Dog suddenly interjected:
“No need, I have a Silver Tier Upgrade Fire Source in my possession, originally intended for my descendants, but now it must be used. Yulong girl, don’t meddle with the Changsun Family’s Secret Vault on your own, so as not to invite idle gossip.”
After speaking, he uploaded a new Attribute Chart in the group chat.
[Strange Object: Moon Worshiping Sacred Fire]
[Quality: Silver]
[Convertible: {Torch Seed Upgrade Fire Source}]
[Note: A spark once venerated by the Star Sea Moon Worship Church has, over tens of thousands of years, transformed into a special Fire Seed Oddity.]
“32nd Order ‘Waking of Insects’: Okay, let me ask!”
After sending a screenshot of this Moon Worshiping Sacred Fire’s attribute chart to his ancestor, Song Chi quickly received a reply from Song Wujiang.
“It’s okay, but I will need some time to return to Dragon Spine Continent. You’ll have to come back to Dragon Spine Continent after half a year. Can they wait that half a year?”
“Should be no problem!”
…
Star Rank group chat
“32nd Order ‘Waking of Insects’: It’s settled, but it will only be available after half a year.”
“3rd Order ‘Corpse Dog'”: That’s fine, as long as we can get it. Thanks for your trouble this time, Waking of Insects.”
“32nd Order ‘Waking of Insects’: Uncle, you mustn’t say that. We are all one big family here; it would be estranging to talk like that.”
“26th Order ‘Mystic Fox'”: Indeed, Waking of Insects is mighty!
“16th Order ‘Lan Cang'”: Mighty!
“19th Order ‘Scorching Sun'”: Mighty!
…
“32nd Order ‘Waking of Insects’: …”
After stowing away the Shaking Light Star Rank, Song Chi didn’t leave the underground Summoning Room; instead, he headed straight for the Ruins Market from inside the warship.
However, on his way to the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, Song Chi’s mind was spinning with thoughts.
He was contemplating the Time Crown·Fake component that Corpse Dog had offered, which, as Song Wujiang mentioned, was quite valuable.
Time Crown·Fake lv0
Quality: Silver
Feature: Time Crown·Reverse
Feature 2: 15% reduction in buffer time for all loaded components on the warship.
Feature 3: +800 Time Resistance
Feature 4: The required slot for this component is fixed at 1.
…
{Time Crown·Reverse: Consumes 50,000 Spectral Energy Points, the Time Crown Pointer rotates, causing the warship itself to enter a state of time reversal, the current reversal duration is 0.1 seconds, with a cooldown time of 10 years.}
To be honest, this component’s attributes were indeed very good, but to say that Song Chi was very keen on it, he really wasn’t.
Mainly because, being another Silver Component, its Feature 2 cooldown reduction could not stack with the Time Chess component currently loaded on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong but would overlap instead.
Besides, its “Time Crown·Reverse” Feature could reverse time, but only for the warship itself, and the duration of the reversal was too short.
