It has been over a year since Song Chi advanced to Third Rank at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, and throughout the many trades at the market, he certainly hasn't been stingy in distributing the [Ruins Market Consignment Tokens].
In fact, he had long discovered that with the variety of supplies from these [Ruins Market Consignment Tokens], the diversity of the goods traded at each market session had significantly improved, and the transaction volume had done the same.
In such a situation, Song Chi had even less reason to be stingy with the distribution of the [Ruins Market Consignment Tokens]. Nowadays, he practically only had that minimum monthly consignment quota of one hundred tokens.
At the Ruins Market's free stall area, since the market trade had just opened not long ago, the number of Alien Race visitors was still relatively small, making the number of stall spaces extremely limited.
However, for Luke, who had entered early using a [Ruins Market Guest Token], this couldn't dampen his enthusiasm at all. Whenever a new alien race set up a stall, he would immediately draw near, trying to see if he could snatch up any overlooked treasures.
Not far behind him, Song Chi, who appeared to be one of the Four-Armed Blue Blood Race, watched this scene unfold, but this time, the usual wry smile was not on his face.
The bulk of space warfare supplies had, in fact, to be provided by the Silver Goblin Empire supporting Luke.
Just as Song Chi was preparing to approach and discuss the bulk purchase of warfare supplies, his Divided Spirits lodged in the different consignment shops suddenly discovered something valuable.
Thus, he had no choice but to stop in his tracks and turn towards the target consignment shop at a seemingly normal pace.
At consignment shop number 055, when Song Chi entered, there were not many people inside.
After all, with only a few alien species having entered the market and the dilution effect of the three-digit numbered shops, it was inevitable that there wouldn't be many customers.
Song Chi ignored these and walked straight to a counter located towards the back, where a glowing crystal was on display. He was no stranger to this crystal.
"Fourth-Rank Life Crystal, I didn't expect an alien species would be consigning something ..."
Thinking this, Song Chi lowered his gaze to check the set consignment price.
10 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin!
At this price, Song Chi did not hesitate and immediately purchased the Fourth-Rank Crystal of Life.
It wasn't just that within the borders of the Torch Human Civilization Territory the value of a Fourth-Rank Crystal of Life was far more than this; even if the price exceeded the territory's asking price, Song Chi would have purchased it without hesitation.
For a Torch Ship Captain, a Fourth-Rank Crystal of Life wasn't just a special resource that could accelerate plant growth; it was also one of the few special materials required for a Third-Rank Cruiser to advance to a Fourth-Rank Zhulu Warship.
For this reason, Fourth-Rank Life Crystals had always been priceless within the Torch Human Civilization Territory, and once available, would inevitably be frantically sought after.
Song Chi was in a very good mood; this Fourth-Rank Life Crystal was a complete and pleasant surprise for him. Together with the Ten Thousand Years Pure Yang Jade he already had, he now had two of the four special materials needed for his future advancement to Fourth Rank.
That is to say, he just needed to gather the other two materials, and Cang Qiong could attempt to begin the mission to advance to a Zhulu Warship.
Of course, this was still far off. Not to mention that the other two materials were also exceedingly rare items, not easily collected, and rushing Law Comprehension was out of the question.
Advancing from Third to Fourth Rank wasn't about speed; having that special amplitude meant that before advancing to Fourth Rank, one needed to elevate one's Law Comprehension as much as possible. Thus, one could maximize the effect during the subsequent Fourth-Rank amplitude and save a significant amount of time.
Additionally, there were no plans yet in place for bathing in the blood of high-ranking Alien Species.
So far, Song Chi had envisioned two places for hunting High-Rank Alien Species for Cang Qiong in the future. The first was naturally in the Starry Sea Dark Void, outside the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
In the depths of that void, countless High-Rank Void Demons existed, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there would be as many as one wished to kill. However, the problem was that the Void Demons in this void space were not under his control. If several Fifth Rank or even Sixth Rank Void Demons were summoned, Song Chi feared he wouldn't even have time to flee.
He wouldn't naively think that just because he had the Zhu Tian Ruins Market at his disposal, he could rest easy.
As darlings of space, Void Demons possessed an inherently high Spatial Affinity Talent. On a Fifth Rank or Sixth Rank Void Demon, this talent could potentially evolve into special abilities or secret techniques like Spatial Imprisonment or Spatial Blockade. If controlled by such ability, could the Ruins Market, which could instantly return one to safety, ensure its effectiveness?
Song Chi didn't know this point, nor was he willing to test it personally. So unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not take the path of hunting Void Demons in the Void Space.
Beyond that, the second place was that Storm Continent discovered by the "Barbarous Harvest Squad."
That Fourth Rank Level special celestial phenomenon, the Floating Land, harbored quite a number of Fourth Rank Level Storm Elementals. If he could use it as a place for hunting High-Rank Alien Species blood in the future, it would be very suitable.
However, this continent had one flaw. It was rife with storm phenomena. If a maximum energy level storm occurred, combined with an assault by several Fourth Rank Storm Elementals, even Cang Qiong might be at risk of capsizing.
