Chapter 268: Secret Technique, Law, Divine Thought State, Primordial Secret Realm
Song Chi calculated that with the additional five strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Origin he had acquired, he now had fifteen strands in total.
As for the other ten strands, they were obtained previously when he and Song Bei were in the treasure vault of the Blood Bodhi Floating Land's Divine Palace. They had found a total of twenty strands, with each of them taking ten.
Beyond these, there weren't any other striking strange objects, resources, or alien races that appeared in the Ruins Market this time. As time elapsed, the market transaction soon came to an end.
When Song Chi opened the Ruins Market panel, he found that with the closure of this market transaction, he had finally met the conditions to upgrade to Level 29.
Without any hesitation, Song Chi immediately enhanced it to Level 29.
[Name: Zhu Tian Ruins Market]
[Ruins Market Master: Song Chi]
[Level: Level 29]
[Size: 6800m x 6800m]
[Basic Configuration: 100 shops, 1 vending area measuring 1900m x 1900m, 1 three-story inn, 1 Level 28 All-Attributes Cultivation Room (doubles efficiency when cultivating with Spectral Energy), 1 Level 28 Spectral Energy Protection Formation, 1 Level 28 Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform, 1 Second-Rank Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform.]
[Additional Configuration: Stealth Light Platform]
[Feature: Averting Misfortune]
[Feature 2: Spatial Anchor Point]
[UpRank Requirement: Ruins Market transaction volume to reach 300k (246k/300k), one Level 2 Floating Land Origin, one Ether Crystal.]
Upon reviewing the attributes of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market at Level 29, Song Chi frowned.
As he had imagined, even advancing to Level 29, advancing to Third Rank was still no easy task.
He wouldn't worry too much about the market transaction volume as it was just a matter of time, holding a few more markets to meet the requirements. However, the Ether Crystal was an extremely rare item, though not as scarce as a Space Law Crystal, it was definitely not easy to procure.
"I can only ask the family in a few days' time, hoping that the clan has some reserves..." he thought.
Meanwhile, he strengthened several basic configurations in the market to Level 29 and then summoned the Cang Qiong.
Soon, the newly mounted [Crimson Fire Canopy Cannon] was enhanced to Level 20.
It was not that he didn't want to continue strengthening it, but his supply of Titanium Crystal had already run out. Although he had just acquired 50 pieces from Zhou Ping, it wasn't enough to enhance this orange secondary cannon to Level 30, so Song Chi simply opted not to enhance it.
At this moment, most of his thoughts were on the family sequence matters, as heard that becoming a family sequence would allow him to receive a fixed annual supply of Titanium Crystal, Medium-High Rank Floating Land Origins, Law Stones, and other resources, which should enable him to continue enhancements later.
Shifting his gaze from the secondary cannon, Song Chi looked towards the [Purusa Zen Seal] component, which was still at enhancement level zero, mainly because Sand of Time was hard to come by.
With a flickering gaze, Song Chi struggled for a while but eventually shook his head, choosing to leave the component aside for now.
"Let's wait until the day after tomorrow to talk to the family head. If there is a reserve of Sand of Time in the clan, that would be ideal. If not, I might have to use that thing..." he concluded.
What he referred to was the Mixed Elemental Copper obtained from the flagship of the Tri-Eye Race. As a universal enhancement resource, it could indeed substitute for Sand of Time. If Song Chi really wanted to enhance the [Purusa Zen Seal] component, he could use this resource as a substitute.
He hadn't chosen to do so because he felt it wasn't worth it.
While Sand of Time was rare, it just couldn't compare to super-strategic level resources.
...
At Green Moon Manor, when Song Chi emerged from his private courtyard, everyone within the pulse appeared busy as usual.
Of course, it wasn't about his advancement to the family's Seventh Sequence anymore. While the pulse was still celebrating, most of the celebration was from the clan members along the banks of Green Moon Lake. The core clansmen on the island had basically moved on from the matter, as they had more important things to attend to now.
With the advancement of the [Furious Battle Mad Lion] Zhulu Warship, the previously suppressed Third Rank Floating Land Origin Eruption Eye within the pulse was no longer sufficient. Now everyone was working overtime to expand the Origin Eruption Eye. Once its diameter was expanded to a certain extent, subsequent use of a specialized Spirit-Attracting Warship by the internal affairs department of the family would upgrade the Origin Eruption Eye on Green Moon Island to Fourth Rank.

Then, the [Furious Battle Mad Lion] could perform the suppression.
In doing so, there would be no need to relocate the pulse's base, as that would be too much hassle.
An Origin Eruption Eye of the Fourth Rank could yield an annual production of Medium-High Rank Floating Land Origins that was countless times more than that of a Third Rank one—it was a matter that every direct lineage took extremely seriously.
Expanding the diameter of the Origin Eruption Eye wasn't a simple task. It required the Torch Warships to carry out small-scale, precision, continuous bombardment with the secondary cannon. Only through this laborious process could the desired enlargement be achieved, and any mistake could potentially pose a threat to the Torch Warship.
Therefore, to ensure the best outcome, the core members of the pulse had decided to take turns in the operation.
Seeing this, Song Chi joined in as well.
"Big Bro, you've really made it big. Suddenly you're part of the family sequence. In the future, should your little brother address you as 'Seven Halls'?"
In the warship communication, Song You's voice started odd and seemed to morph into that of a resentful woman.
Song Chi gave him a disdainful look without bothering to respond.
Of course, Song You was only deliberately lightening the mood; he understood the situation clearly.
As the saying goes, good shade is found under a big tree. Being the Fifth Brother of the Seventh Sequence sure sounded prestigious.
Meanwhile, Song Chi, on the other hand, connected to the [Furious Battle Mad Lion] and opened the conversation with words that made Song Mingsong's gaze sharpen.
"Grandpa, I'm ready to initiate the Cruiser upgrade mission!"
