Global Era of Star trekking
Chapter 179: Chapter 122: [Ten Thousand Year Ghost Locust Tree]

Feeling the increasingly solid spiritual essence in his mind, Song Chi's excitement seemed uncontrollable as a strong joy appeared on his face.

The blue Torch Seed, though only one rank higher than the white Torch Seed, signified an essential difference between them.

After ascending to blue, the Torch Seed not only provided a stronger enhancement to one's spirit; it also meant that the potential of the Cang Qiong would be raised from Second Rank to Third Rank. The enhancement limit for all the ship components carried on board would likewise be elevated.

Additionally, with every 5 levels increased, the white Torch ship body would only gain 4 special component slots, whereas a blue Torch ship body would gain 6.

In summary, advancing from a white to a blue Torch Seed was essentially a qualitative transformation, allowing a Torch Warship's combat power to greatly improve.

After a bout of excitement, Song Chi retracted the Spectral Energy within his body and, as it dispersed from his brow, the opened Ancestral Torch also began to close slowly.

Once he stood up from the white jade platform, Song Mingsong and Song Shan, who were waiting at the entrance of the secret room, let go of their vigilance, and smiles emerged from the bottom of their hearts.

"Good, a blue Fire Seed, this is indeed the mark of a prodigy, hahaha..."

Amongst the joy, Song Mingsong began to laugh heartily, using his actions to convey his happiness.

Beside him, Uncle Song Shan turned his gaze to Song Chi, asking him about his current condition. After receiving an affirmative reply, the three of them then pushed open the large door of the secret room.

However, before leaving the secret room, Song Chi asked his grandfather and uncle a small favor, hoping they would keep the news of his Torch Seed's quality advancement confidential for the time being.

Obviously, he didn't want to attract too much attention.

Having long understood Song Chi's character, they were not surprised by this request and quickly agreed.

Of course, apart from his grandfather and uncle, Song Chi would still inform his parents. Otherwise, when the advancement became public later on, his father might be okay, but his mother would definitely complain and sulk for quite some time.

Your next chapter is on M V L

After greeting his grandfather and uncle, Song Chi left the enraged lion's courtyard and set out to return to Jiangyuan City.

...

Dongjiang Community, home.

"Advanced to a blue Torch Seed?"

Upon hearing Song Chi's words, Song Chao and his wife, who had been busy bustling around, paused simultaneously. They then solemnly called their son into the living room and began to inquire in detail about the whole story.

After Song Chi had explained everything, Song Chao nodded slightly, his eyes constantly moving as if weighing something, while his mother, Chen Lixia, had a completely different focus.

"Little Chi, tell mom more about that girl. If she's so good to our son, I have to screen her properly."

Song Chi's face darkened, internally complaining:

"A girl? She's a bona fide Third Rank Torch Captain, maybe even older than you."

Upon hearing this, Song Chao also chimed in.

"Old woman, by your logic, has the Shen Family's girl lost her spot as your handpicked daughter-in-law again?"

Chen Lixia stiffened, her interest piqued as she had momentarily forgotten that overly reserved girl. As soon as Song Chao brought her up, it left her feeling somewhat awkward as a mother.

To cover up that flicker of embarrassment, Chen Lixia's tone suddenly rose, and with arms akimbo, she said:

"What's wrong with that? My son is so excellent, can't he marry two daughters-in-law for his mother? You think you're like yourself, who only managed to snag me, this cabbage, after my father went around matchmaking?"

Pfft...

Song Chi tried hard to control his facial expressions, trying not to laugh out loud. Eventually, he quickly retreated to his bedroom.

Locking the door behind him, his figure vanished from the bedroom after a while.

In the Ruins Market Secret Realm, marching straight along the central street towards the inner side of the market, Song Chi's goal was not the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, but the "Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform."

Though he had initiated a trade in the market, he had stayed in the Moruo Secret Realm for a day, experienced delays on the return trip, and spent several days in the Chenxing Multi-Function Shop. All these events added up to nearly ten days gone by.

As of yesterday, the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform had completed its cooldown and was ready for the next market trade.

Song Chi's idea was straightforward.

Before launching the next exploration of the Alien Star Domain or revisiting the Buluo Civilization Ruins, he wanted to engage in another market trade to better prepare himself.

As for the specifics, of course, it was the continued enhancement of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator and the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon.

Now that his Torch Seed had advanced from white to blue, the prior limitation of lv29 was lifted.

The enhancement limit for components installed on a warship derived from a white Torch Seed was the peak of the Second Rank (lv29). In contrast, for a blue Torch Warship, the enhancement limit for its carried components rose to the peak of the Third Rank (lv39).

This meant that both the lv29 Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator and Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon could now undergo further enhancement.

Considering the Buluo Civilization Ruins, there was already a Queen Insect of the Third Rank Level in the second layer, and the third layer might contain something even more terrifying.

Feeling that the lv29 Dark Matter Energy Shield alone was insufficient for absolute safety, Song Chi wanted to enhance it beyond lv30 before exploring further.
