Chapter 207 - 135: Eagle Family - Fourth Rank Life Pressure
Among these less than fifty Dragon Blood Fruits, the oldest one was only 999 years, still several months shy of a millennium.
One could guess that John Tros must have accelerated the time in this secret realm as soon as he obtained those Void Crystals, but due to what was probably a shortage of crystals, these Dragon Blood Fruits hadn’t fully matured.
Let alone Dragon Blood Fruits that were over three thousand years old, even those that prolonged life by ten years— the millennium Dragon Blood Fruits—were lacking somewhat, requiring a few more months to wait.
To this, Song Chi felt it was only to be expected, considering that the Void Crystals he provided were at their highest First Rank, with the vast majority being Zero Rank. If such low-rank Void Crystals could accelerate a secret realm for tens of thousands of years, that would indeed be too far-fetched.
From another perspective, this also suggested that these Dragon Blood Trees must have only sprung up recently, being merely the faint remnants of the original Dragon Blood Tree orchard in the secret realm; otherwise, after hundreds of years of accelerated time, the Dragon Blood Fruits would not be under a millennium old.
For this, the Song Family members naturally heaved sighs of disappointment.
If that original orchard of Dragon Blood Trees had been preserved, not to mention millennium Dragon Blood Fruits, there would likely have been a vast quantity of three thousand-year-old ones, and there might even have been exceptionally rare ten thousand-year-old Supreme Dragon Blood Fruits.
Just the thought of possible ten thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Fruits being destroyed in that unknown great battle made everyone feel uncomfortable, resenting the perpetrator for such a wasteful destruction.
At this moment, the old patriarch Song Mingsong spoke up:
"Remember, if you come across resources like Void Crystals in the future, try to acquire them as long as the price isn’t too inflated."
As he spoke, Song Mingsong’s gaze swept over Song Chi. Though he didn’t elaborate, Song Chi understood his grandfather’s meaning immediately: he should pay more attention to such opportunities in the Ruins Market Secret Realm. If they encountered Void Crystals again, they must not let them slip by.
After everyone nodded in agreement, having completed the inventory of various resource points in the secret realm, they didn’t stay long and one by one took their leave.
In the external warship’s Summoning Room, the faces of the Song Family members all bore smiles. Despite some regrets about the once Dragon Blood Tree orchard, they were quite satisfied with this Dragon Blood Mystic Realm overall.
At least its signature resources were still present, even if the yield was small. Compared to those Shattered Secret Realms that had lost their special resources, the value was entirely incomparable.
Quickly, the group acted together to re-destroy the entrance to the secret realm within the Summoning Room, and then summoned the Furious Lion to retrieve the Covenant Guardian Warship. Only then did they turn to leave.
After greeting his elders, Song Chi stayed behind.
He summoned the Cangqiong, ready to use the newly acquired thousand strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin to enhance the Cangqiong for a new round.
The first to be enhanced was the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon. This Shipborne Secondary Cannon was the only one out of the few blue components on the Cangqiong that had a Feature, and it was a Top Rank among blue components.
[Are you sure you want to consume 15 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin + 8000 Spectral Energy Points to upgrade the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon from Lv20 to Lv21?]
"Confirm!"
In the end, Song Chi spent 349 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin to enhance this Top-Rank Secondary Cannon from Lv20 to Lv30.
Though the cost was astonishing, the enhancement of the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon’s Attributes was definitely worth the expense.
Electromagnetic Ray Cannon Lv30
Quality: Blue
Feature: Lightning Arc Splash
Consumption: 20 per shot (Spectral Energy Points)
Might: 2700
No need for Buffering and Charging
UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of Floating Land Origin (Third Rank), 20000 Spectral Energy Points
Lightning Arc Splash: Creatures damaged by the Electromagnetic Thunderball will splash 50% of the damage received to the nearest 12 creatures around them.
Not only had the damage surged tenfold, but the effect of the Lightning Arc Splash had also improved significantly. This meant that its area damage would be even more astounding in the future—a piece of good news.
After enhancing the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon, Song Chi opened the Cangqiong’s Attributes panel, contemplating which Component to enhance next.
After enhancing the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon, the Second-Rank Floating Land Origin left in his hand had dwindled to just over six hundred strands, barely enough to enhance two more Components to the third tier, so careful consideration was necessary.
[Name: Cangqiong]
[Model: Torch-Spectral Airship]
[Level: Lv10]
[Base Components: Blue Torch Hull Lv10, Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon (Orange) Lv30, Electromagnetic Ray Cannon (Blue) Lv30, Starshine V-Type Alloy Armor (Blue) Lv29, Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine (Purple) Lv30, Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator (Orange) Lv30, Sky-Eye Patrol Radar (Blue) Lv30, Spectral Cultivation Room Lv0 (8/8)]
[Additional Components: Fire Peony Soldier Effigy Tree (White) Lv20, Brainwave Remote Control System (Purple) Lv23, Abnormal Status Purifier (Blue) Lv20, Purple River Translocation Device (Blue) Lv20, Healing Fruit (White) Lv29, Fixed-Point Launch Pad (Blue) Lv20, Phantom Thruster (Purple) Lv20, Blood Soul Stigma (Blue) Lv20 (8/14)]
[Spectral Energy Pool: 60000/60000]
[Supplies: Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin 20 strands, Third-Rank Floating Land Origin 150 strands, Second-Rank Floating Land Origin 674 strands...]
There are five blue Components available for continued enhancement, namely [Starshine V-Type Alloy Armor][Abnormal Status Purifier][Purple River Translocation Device][Fixed-Point Launch Pad] and [Blood Soul Stigma].
His gaze swept back and forth across these five Components, seeking the most cost-effective choice.
However, at that moment, Song Ting’s voice suddenly reached him from the outside.
"Song Chi, come out quickly, Dad is calling for you!"
Filled with curiosity, Song Chi stepped out from the Cangqiong. He didn’t rush to retrieve the Cangqiong, but looked at Song Ting with a questioning gaze.
