Chapter 431: Chapter 232: Re-entering the 50th Floor of the Merit Tower_2

In this way, he himself did not have to take any risks, and could significantly increase his scavenging speed without any concerns.

On the contrary, if he were to team up with others, it would impact him, which is why Song Chi chose to decline.

Song Ze did not seem surprised by his refusal. After two more exchanges, they soon went their separate ways.

On the other hand, a candidate who was also Second Rank inquired through warship communication:

“Ah Ze, why do you seem so concerned about that person? Is there a reason?”

Song Ze’s eyes remained calm as he replied directly:

“What reason could there be? It’s just curiosity. Ever since I’ve known him, he has always kept a low profile!”

…

Family Merit Hall.

Song Chi did not choose to return directly to Green Moon Manor but instead went to the Merit Hall.

According to the information provided by the family head, the interior of the Blood Bodhi Floating Land was divided into five realms, and the number of Fourth Rank Level Blood Bodhi Tribe members exceeded twenty, signifying a high level of danger.

For this reason, he needed to make all necessary preparations.

To be more specific, he needed to enhance the Enhancement Levels of both the [Totem Spirit Column] and [Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm] components as much as possible.

Only then would he have more cards up his sleeve later on in the Blood Bodhi Floating Land.

However, to enhance the Rank of these two high-Quality components fully required an amount of resources that was no small feat, which is why Song Chi had come to the Merit Hall.

On the 49th floor of the Merit Hall, access was easy for Song Chi as there were still 31 Golden Merit Points in his account.

At the Merit exchange counter, the clan member in charge today looked at Song Chi with a surprised and doubtful gaze as he took out the body of a Fourth Rank Void Demon.

Once the clan member recovered from the shock, he quickly asked:

“A Fourth Rank Void Demon corpse, without Void Crystal, can be refined into a drop of Fourth Rank Primordial Blood. The family’s purchase price is 80 Golden Merit Points. Do you confirm the exchange?”

“80 Golden Merit Points…”

Song Chi slightly furrowed his eyebrows, for normally, the price of a drop of Fourth Rank Primordial Blood was around 100 Golden Merit Points. This 80 Points…

Upon reflection, Song Chi’s furrowed eyebrows soon smoothed out as he understood the reason behind it.

As he knew, refining Fourth Rank Primordial Blood was not an easy task; it required action from a Fourth Rank Torch Ship Captain and would take a considerable amount of time. Presumably, the discounted 20 Golden Merit Points was the reward for the Clan Elders’ effort in refining.

After understanding this, he quickly nodded.

Considering this, the price was actually quite reasonable. If he were to take this to the outside world, let alone whether those Fourth Rank Torch Ship Captains would directly swallow the Fourth Rank Lifeform corpse, even if they did not, they would surely demand a hefty price, asking for 50% of the corpse’s own value without hesitation.

[Ding, account successfully credited 80 Golden Merit Points, current Golden Merit Point balance is 111.]

Looking at the prompt from the Quantum Communication Bracelet on his left wrist, Song Chi stepped onto the 50th floor of the Merit Tower.

In front of a counter in the corner of the 50th floor, Song Chi stopped.

Item Name: Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin

Exchange Restriction: Second Rank and above clansmen can exchange up to 3 strands every 5 years.

Exchange Price: 2 Golden Merit Points per strand

If he wanted to enhance the [Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm] component later, the Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin was indispensable; furthermore, he would need Law Stones.

Unfortunately, he had already used up his annual quota of five Law Stones, and there were still over two months left until the quota would refresh.

However, Song Chi was not troubled by this, as the solution was quite simple. Since he had enough Golden Merit Points at hand, he had already notified his mother, Chen Lixia. Once she arrived, he would transfer the Merit Points to her and have her exchange them for five Law Stones on his behalf.

Soon, six Golden Merit Points were deducted, and Song Chi successfully obtained three strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin.

Having done that, he didn’t rush to exchange other items and instead waited for his mother to come while also carefully considering what other resources he needed.

The Third Rank Floating Land Origin was not needed for now. In the past five months, he had obtained hundreds of strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin using the Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform and should have enough for the time being. However, with less than 300 Titanium Crystals remaining, this was somewhat insufficient.

“It seems there are still a few hundred crystals in the clan’s public account, I can only exchange some there for emergency use,”

Besides Third Rank Floating Land Origin and Titanium Crystals, the next item was the Void Crystal, which was the most troublesome.

Components of [Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm] needed this item for enhancement. Getting these crystals was no easy feat, and Song Chi still lacked a significant number of both Second Rank and Third Rank Void Crystals.

Although he could travel to the dark side of the void through the Zhu Tian Ruins Market to hunt Void Demons, this would take time, and he didn’t believe he could hunt the required number of Second and Third Rank Void Demons within the next month.

After much contemplation, he eventually decided to post on the family forum.

[Urgent Massive Purchase, Golden Merit Points for Second Rank, Third Rank Void Crystals!!]

He created a post with a catchy headline, and then in the main content below, he provided his specific exchange rates.

According to the regular market rate, 1 Golden Merit Point 10 Second Rank Void Crystals, 20 Golden Merit Points 10 Third Rank Void Crystals.

Based on this, Song Chi offered a slight discount in his rates.

1 Golden Merit Point for 9 Second Rank Void Crystals.

20 Golden Merit Points for 9 Third Rank Void Crystals.

He wasn’t being stingy, but rather, the amount of Void Crystals needed for enhancing the Breeding Secret Realm was significant, and his Golden Merit Points were already tight.

He posted the message on the forum and spent another Golden Merit Point to activate the one-hour sticky post feature, while his mother had also arrived.

A few minutes later, Chen Lixia returned 95 Golden Merit Points into Song Chi’s account, along with five Law Stones.

Back at Green Moon Manor, Song Chi immediately ventured into the Ruins Market and then piloted the Cang Qiong into the external void to begin his second Void Demon hunting operation.

His Golden Merit Points weren’t picked up for nothing; if he could hunt some more by himself, he would save on the need for purchases.

The dark side of the Starry Sea, Void Space.

Nearly twenty days had passed since Song Chi returned from the Bailing Starfield. During this time, his luck had not been very good, as he only encountered a small squad of dozens of Void Demons and harvested 1 Second Rank Void Crystal along with dozens of Zero Rank and First Rank Void Crystals.

Although he had exchanged quite a few through the family forum, after the component of [Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm] was enhanced to Lv30, subsequent enhancements stagnated, with Third Rank Void Crystals proving too rare and scarcely purchased.

His eyes swept over the radar on the side, which clearly showed the presence of a Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine tens of thousands of meters ahead of the Cang Qiong.

Song Chi, however, paid it no heed, whispering to himself.

“I hope this time it will attract enough Void Demons!”

He had intentionally left a Tracking Mark on one of the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines during the recent clearing of that demon squad to actively attract large groups of elusive Void Demons.

Time slowly passed, and more than ten hours had gone by, with several Void Gangwinds sweeping through the area. Fortunately, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine was already at Lv40, which allowed it to move freely in the midst of these Void Gangwinds.

Inside the Cang Qiong, Song Chi’s eyes narrowed. Just when he thought that no Void Demons would come in the short term, a sudden alert from the radar on the side was a welcome surprise.

“Tens of thousands of Void Demons, with the number of Second Rank Void Demons not less than a thousand, and around a hundred of Third Rank Void Demons, excellent!!”
