Now that I think about it, which of these four new abilities isn’t profoundly astonishing?
This is why Song Chi has always had great expectations for the Ruins Market’s upgrade to Third Rank.
"I hope I can be promoted soon..."
He casually enhanced the Ruins Market itself as well as the [All-Attributes Cultivation Room][Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment tform][Spectral Energy Protective Array] to lv28 and then returned to the free trading area.
He recalled the Cang Qiong.
Two minutester, the orange-quality [Taiyi Soul-Suppressing Stele]ponent had been strengthened all the way to lv40.
Looking at the attributes, the Soul-sealing Aura it emanated had officially reached the Fourth Rank Level, and the "Soul Subduing Stele" feature that could be condensed within the Ancestral Torch was also at the Fourth Rank, strong enough to resist attacks and invasions by Fourth Rank Level Divine Souls.

Beyond that was the Soul-sealing Mark feature. After being strengthened to the Fourth Rank, its effective range increased from 3 meters to 300 meters, which is still negligible for starry space warfare, but it was a significant improvement from before, albeit a small constion.
He originally thought of further enhancing thisponent, but after checking his remaining Titanium Crystals, he decided to stop.
Even though he still had just over a thousand Titanium Crystals, including the 1000 Zhou Ping had given him earlier, the problem was that the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine]ponent still needed further enhancement.
In order to meet the energy supply bnce requirements of the Cang Qiong, thisponent had already been enhanced to lv44.
However, with the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar]ponent enhanced to the Fourth Rank and the previous [Taiyi Soul-Suppressing Stele], the current energy supply was once again insufficient, so he had no choice but to continue strengthening the orange engineponent.
Since he still had enough Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin and Law Stones for the time being, Song Chi simply enhanced the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine] to the highest level that the ship’s structure could reach, which was lv49.
After enhancing it to lv49, it goes without saying that theponent’s energy supply efficiency significantly increased, and there was no need to worry about the warship’s energy supply for the time being.
However, Song Chi didn’t feel too much joy over this because the current energy surplus was based on the premise of not adding any new high-rankponents.
That meant if he were to acquire high-quality, energy-consuming shipponents in the future, he would not be able to install them at will, and even if he did install them, they couldn’t be enhanced to a high level. Otherwise, the Cang Qiong would face an energy supply shortage.
Thinking of this, Song Chi frowned deeply.
"I either have to speed up the Cang Qiong’s promotion to a Cruiser and my Torch Seed to the orange-quality, or I need to elerate the opening of ’Chicang 004 Cultivation Secret Realm’ and allow the sixth-rank Silver Apple to fully recover..."
With his mind quickly assessing the situation, two solutions emerged.
If the Cang Qiong was promoted to a Cruiser and his Seed of Torch reached orange quality, allponents on the warship could continue to be enhanced to the Fifth Rank, thereby naturally solving the energy supply issue.
Meanwhile, therge six-rank Silver Apple could upgrade the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine]ponent from orange to red quality. By then, even if the enhancement level remained the same, the energy supply efficiency would see a substantial improvement.
Song Chi rubbed his forehead, realizing that both options needed to be prioritized.
Until the Cang Qiong bes a Cruiser, and the Seed of Torch is upgraded to orange quality, the [Void Assassin n Soldier Figurine Tree]ponent will not be able to be enhanced to the Fifth Rank. To continue delving deeper into the wreckage of the Tri-Eye Race gship, he must hasten this process.
As for elerating the Cultivation Secret Realm, it is a free speed-up with a fixed cooldown time; the sooner it’s used, the sooner the cooldown. Every additional day of dy is simply a waste of time.
The eleration of the Dragon Blood Mystic Realm is about to end, so he would soon be able to start this second task.
He checked his resources; he had less than seven hundred Titanium Crystals left, just over a hundred strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, and exactly 25 Law Stones remaining.
After some thought, for the sake of caution, Song Chi enhanced the [Taiyi Soul-Suppressing Stele] a few more times, strengthening it to lv44.
Although the aura and the condensed stele remained at the Fourth Rank, there are differences within the same rank.
After reaching lv44, the Soul-sealing Aura and the phantom Soul Subduing Stele were capable of withstanding the influence of all ordinary Fourth Rank Level Divine Souls. Unless faced with an attack by a peak Fourth Rank Divine Soul, it would be tough for them to harm him.
...
At the Green Moon Manor, in thepound designated for his uncle and aunt, Song Chi met his aunt once again. He had initially nned to utilize the Blood Bodhi and Divine Tempering Fruits as soon as possible in theing days, but considering the hundreds of thousands of low-rank Blood Bodhis he carried, he felt it was better to hand them over to the Ancestral Vein first.
Upon receiving the small mountain of Blood Bodhis, Zhao Hongxue did not show much surprise. Song Chi had a habit of making such grand offerings from time to time, and she had grown ustomed to it.
But it was not a gift for nothing; after all, these were contributions to the Ancestral Vein, which belonged to the public assets. Although the Ancestral Vein had nothing topensate at the moment, the contribution points that should be recorded were not omitted.
For instance, the several hundred titanium crystals that Song Chi had withdrawn from the public assets were deducted from his contributions.
Looking at the several million additional contribution points he now had, Song Chi was not particrly concerned. The Ancestral Vein was just starting to flourish, and with many items already taken for the upgrade of the Furious Lion, themon secret vault didn’t hold many valuable items at present. Song Chi estimated that his millions in contribution points would be difficult to spend anytime soon.
Nevertheless, he decided to take a stroll through the secret vault, and to his small delight, found something useful.
Within the vault, he actually discovered a palm-sized piece of Heavenly Ridge Crystal, one of the four special resources possibly needed for the upgrade of an escort ship to a cruiser, and a rather rare one at that, unseen even in the Family Merit Hall.
Song Chi immediately exchanged it for 30,000 contribution points.
With this piece of Heavenly Ridge Crystal, two of the four special resources potentially required for the Cang Qiong’s upgrade to a cruiser had been gathered—the Heavenly Ridge Crystal and the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence.
The two remaining were the Ice Origin Stone and the Third-Rank Blood Core.
Song Chi had long been purchasing these remaining items at the Ruins Market, yet without any result thus far.
The Third-Rank Blood Core was not too difficult; it was a crystal that might form inside the body of life entities following the path of blood. It was said that the Ancestral Vein controlled a Blood Continent, where the ruling race was the famous bloodline of vampires. If he reached out to the Ancestral Vein, there would be a chance to obtain it.
However, the Ice Origin Stone was different. It could only be found in special Extreme Cold Continents and was considered exceedingly rare.
After leaving his uncle’spound, Song Chi returned home. He didn’t worry too much about the Ice Origin Stone. Though rare, it wasn’t to the extent of being encountered only once in a hundred years. He just needed to continue raising the stakes in the market transactions to acquire it, which shouldn’t be a big problem.
At this moment, the most important thing was to make use of the Blood Bodhi and the two Divine Tempering Fruits that had been in his possession for a while.
The consumption of Blood Bodhi was straightforward; one simply needed to swallow it. The fruit would melt in the mouth, sweet with a hint of sweetness.
Song Chi, being a Second-Rank lifeform, could only use Second-Rank Blood Bodhi.
The moment the first Blood Bodhi entered his mouth, it was like he had drunk a sip of natural spring water with a hint of sweetness. However, that was only the initial sensation. Soon, Song Chi found that his blood seemed to boil. Within just half a minute, the temperature of his body had doubled.
This conditionsted for about two minutes. As the boiling feeling subsided, Song Chi returned to his normal state and took the second Blood Bodhi.
After consuming five consecutive Blood Bodhis, Song Chi began to feel a swelling pain all over his body, and a thickyer of ck viscous substance had umted on his skin.
His intuition told him that this was the limit his body could endure. Continuing to consume Blood Bodhis would be more harmful than beneficial.

While there was a sense of anti-climax, Song Chi, the person concerned, had a different sensation. Despite only consuming five Blood Bodhis, he could clearly feel an all-around enhancement in his body.
It was an indescribable sensation.
In essence, it was as if he had changed his body entirely. If before consuming the five Blood Bodhis his body was that of a fifty-year-old middle-aged person, now, Song Chi felt as if he had returned to the prime of his life at thirty, when his body was at its peak—of course, this was aparison to an ordinary person from his previous life on Blue Star.
"Is this the physical prowess possessed by an excellent species of the Starry Sea? Indeed, it’s much stronger than that of ordinary species," he muttered to himself.
After a brief wash to clean his body, Song Chi quickly returned to the Ruins Market. He wanted to try practicing the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique to see what changes it would bring.
