Song Chi was somewhat surprised, or rather, astonished.
That the other party was able to produce a blueponent had already surprised him, and now they had brought out a purple relic, a gesture that indeed seemed at odds with their currently precarious situation.
As for why they chose to reveal it at this moment, he had some guesses.
It was highly likely that his final reminder had significantly improved the mother and daughter’s impression of him, or rather, made him seem less like a bad person.
About this, Song Chi didn’t know what to say.
Perhaps it was most fitting to remark "Good deeds bring good rewards" at this moment, but in the harsh reality of the great interster era, to be honest, he didn’t believe it.
Thinking this over, they returned to the tent, where Song Chi didn’t speak but waited for the girl’s next words.
Since the other party had voluntarily shown the purple relic, they surely intended to trade, and it was just a matter of hearing their specific terms.
The purple glow flickered, and without speaking, the girl took the purple relic out of the Ancestral Torch and handed it to Song Chi.
Her thoughts were simple: since she had decided to take it out, she might as well be straightforward about it, considering that the man in front of her could easily kill her with a simple wave of his hand.
Song Chi took the purple relic with an impassive expression, which was genuine.
Theponents currently installed on the Cang Qiong included two red and as many as six orange ones. One purple relic really couldn’t cause much of a stir in his heart.
However, when he saw the specific attributes, he felt a mild surprise.
The purpleponent the other party brought out turned out to be a special individual shield variety, which was quite rare.
Even with Song Chi’s experiences over the past two years, he had only encountered such aponent once before, on the Luofu Sword Sect’s Zhou Ping’s [Spiritual Energy Namete].

After inspecting the attributes of theponent, Song Chi was extremely satisfied; it was no small surprise.
He had always dreamed of acquiring such aponent, and he had mentioned it to Zhou Ping numerous times, but it had nevere to pass.
Moreover, the attributes of the [sma Guardian]ponent in front of him were clearly superior to those of the Spiritual Energy Namete.
Although both had the same feature, this [sma Guardian] could generate 5 shields at lv0, while the previous [Spiritual Energy Namete] had only 3.

Moving his gaze away from theponent, Song Chi looked back at the girl who seemed rather anxious in front of him. Seeing that she hadn’t spoken, he took the initiative:
"What do you want? Floating Land Origin? Or white, blue qualityponents?"
The girl hesitated for a moment.
"Can I take some Floating Land Origin along with a few blue quality basicponents?"
"Yes!"
Song Chi nodded and then continued:
"How much Floating Land Origin is needed?"
The girl seemed to have considered this point well in advance and quickly answered.
"Fifty thousand strands of Zero Rank, two thousand strands of First Rank!"
Evidently, the fifty thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin were for purchasing high-level healing potions, while the two thousand strands of First Rank were probably for enhancing her next few blueponents.
Fifty thousand Zero Rank plus two thousand First Rank strands amounted to approximately seventy thousand Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, and one Top Rank purpleponent was difficult to measure in terms of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.
After thinking it over, Song Chi took out four moreponents.
"Here are four others: an Energy Shield, Warship Armor, Main Cannon, and Shipborne Engine, one of each, plus the fifty thousand Zero Rank Floating Land Origin and two thousand First Rank Floating Land Origin you just mentioned. What do you think?"
During the previous exploration of the Ancient Starry Sky Battlefield, besides acquiring over twenty purple relics, he had obtained even more white and blue ones. The fourponents Song Chi was now offering were all blue quality.
Compared to a Top Rank purple single shieldponent, four blueponents might seem insignificant, but for the frail girl before him, this was clearly a satisfactory price.
If she were to trade it on the open market, let alone the price she could get, whether she could return safely was a huge unknown.
For one who was still at Zero Rank, taking out a purpleponent was like a child holding gold; even if she managed to trade it on the spot, she would likely be targeted for robbery afterward.
Had this not been the case, why would she have kept the purpleponent until now? Enjoy new chapters from empire
Seeing her nod, Song Chi then took out two clumps of Floating Land Origin from the Ancestral Aperture.
After handing over everything in his possession to the other party, he also took the [sma Guardian]ponent into the Ancestral Aperture.
Afterpleting the trade, he didn’t rush to leave.
"Come on, I’ll apany you to the potion shop one more time."
A high-level healing potion that cost a hundred thousand Zero Rank Floating Land Origin points was indeed a target for envy if a Zero Rank Torch Ship Captain tried to buy it alone.
Considering that they hade this far and he had indeed reaped quite a harvest today, he decided to continue ying the good Samaritan; after all, it wouldn’t take more than an hour.
