At the forefront of the crowd, a First Rank centaur held a bronze-colored Ruins Market Guest Token, a look of determination on its face as it whispered to several other First Rank centaurs at its side:
“Return to the tribe first, and later tonight we will immediately start the scheme to provoke conflict between the Red Origin Tribe and the Grey Wolf Tribe. We must get our hands on that Red Origin Heavenly Fire.”
As it spoke, it raised its hand and waved the bronze token before adding:
“This token is the greatest hope for our tribe’s rise in the future. Remember, when I speak of rising, I don’t just mean becoming a major tribe, but becoming the sovereign tribe that rules over the entire Pegasus Continent and formally steps into the boundless Starry Sea.”
“Understood!”
The voices of those around were exceptionally unified.
At this moment, a limitless expectation for the future rose in the hearts of all the First Rank centaurs.
…
Zhu Tian Ruins Market, as the market’s trading period officially ended, all alien species were transported back to their original locations before they entered the market, leaving the space of the entire market empty.
Song Chi had long been accustomed to this and did not take any other action but immediately began to tally the gains from this session of trading in the market.
Two minutes later, the tally was complete.
Including the stack of undervalued goods purchased, the total value of the various resources he held was roughly around 130,000 Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.
That is to say, after advancing to First Rank, his net profit from his first Ruins Market trading session was about 120,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.
A total of 4,500 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, 200 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, and over 50,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, along with other miscellaneous materials like Life Cores, Mithril and differential resources, were valued at around 14,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin in total.
With this sizeable amount of funds, Song Chi had already planned on how to use it. Aside from reserving several tens of thousands of strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin as startup capital for the next Ruins Market trading session, he intended to spend the nearly one hundred thousand remaining strands.
After all, keeping the funds idle was as good as doing nothing; it would be better to use them to rapidly enhance Cang Qiong and Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
After tallying, he opened the attribute panel for the Ruins Market and with a light click, successfully upgraded the level of the market from LV10 to LV11.
He then looked at the requirements for upgrading from LV11 to LV12.
[100 strands of Floating Land Origin (First Rank), Ruins Market transaction volume fulfills 20,000 strands of Floating Land Origin (First Rank) {13210/20000}]
Obviously, another upgrade would have to wait until after the next Ruins Market trading session.
Since there was no way to further enhance the Ruins Market itself, he naturally turned his attention to the [Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform], [Spectral Energy Protective Array], and [All-Attributes Cultivation Room]—these three basic configurations.
He spent nearly a hundred strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin to upgrade each of them to LV11.
For the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform, the number of Spatial Gates deployed increased by 1, totaling 37 gates now.
For the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, the cultivation enhancement increased from 480% to 492%, and the Spectral Energy cultivation enhancement increased from 960% to 984%.
As for the Spectral Energy Protective Array, its Shield Value also showed some change.
[Defence: 1220]
[Shield Value: 122000/122000]
However, overall, the increase wasn’t very significant.
Song Chi was not surprised by this, as the previous large enhancements were due to increasing the Major Rank, and this was just a slight rank progression, making such marginal increases normal.
He was only disappointed by one thing: when the Ruins Market level upgraded from LV10 to LV11, the second feature “Spatial Anchor Point” did not change at all. The number of anchor points did not increase and remained at one.
In this case, many of the ideas he previously had in mind would not work out. He would have to wait until after exploring the Buluo Civilization Ruins and canceling the anchor set in that Star Domain to see what could be done.
After enhancing the Ruins Market, next was the [Brainwave Remote Control System] and [Constant State Purifier] on the Cang Qiong.
Song Chi did not rush to enhance the Brainwave Remote Control System as he did not have any Soul Crystals on hand at the moment.
The blue component, the Constant State Purifier, was directly upgraded to LV20 without any issue.
Constant State Purifier LV20
“`
“`
Quality: Blue
Consumption: 20/s (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: Purification Aura (After mounting, the component will automatically generate a purification aura capable of cleansing many negative states.)
UpRank Requirement: 17 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, 6000 Spectral Energy Points
After reaching lv20, Song Chi did not continue with the enhancement, considering that he didn’t have much of the Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, only the 200 strands he had just obtained from the Ruins Market transaction, and also because the Second-Rank Purification Aura would likely be sufficient for the short term.
After strengthening this component, Song Chi did not rush to leave the Ruins Market to purchase the Soul Crystal, but instead took out the remainder of the Queen Insect’s meat, which was only about ten jin, processed it, and then entered the All-Attributes Cultivation Room.
Due to various reasons, he had not yet had the opportunity to eat this piece of Queen Insect meat, and now, with some time on his hands, he wanted to try to use the lv11 All-Attributes Cultivation Room to see if he could make a breakthrough to lv8 in the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique.
Over the course of two months, the foundational instability caused by the use of Advanced Body Tempering Potion and Deep Water Clam Pearl Powder had been replenished, now using this piece of Queen Insect meat came at just the right time.
After consuming the ten jin of Queen Insect meat in just a few bites, Song Chi immediately adopted the Guidance Technique cultivation posture and began to circulate the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique at full speed.
His current level of the Guidance Technique had already reached lv7, and a pound or two of Queen Insect meat had little effect on him; only by ingesting ten jin all at once was there a sufficient effect.
The Spectral Energy within his body circulated quickly, while a warm and gentle current continuously rose from his stomach, finally flowing throughout his body along with the Spectral Energy.
Just ten minutes later, his entire body was enveloped in the warmth, and behind this current of warm energy was the rapid circulation of Spectral Energy.
With the aid of a hint of Third-Rank Queen Insect’s Origin Energy in the warm current, coupled with the external All-Attributes Cultivation Room, the speed of his Spectral Energy Guidance Technique cultivation was extremely astonishing at this moment.
Song Chi could clearly perceive the continuous advancement of his own Guidance Technique, which was already not simply novice work at lv7, and was rapidly heading towards lv8.
Regarding this, Song Chi was quite impressed by the effectiveness of the Queen Insect meat; under normal conditions with the assistance of the Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform on a First-Rank Torch Warship, the Guidance Technique would take at least three years to advance from lv7 to lv8.
Even with the 984% Spectral Energy cultivation bonus of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, if Song Chi were to advance from his previous progress at lv7 to lv8, it would normally take at least half a year, but now that half a year was erased in an instant.
Crack!
A faint sound of breaking seemed to echo in his ears, which was the sound of the bottleneck between Guidance Technique lv7 and lv8 being shattered. In the next second, a surge of vital energy rose throughout his body, skin all over releasing strands of black viscous substances, and a strong presence spread out in the confined All-Attributes Cultivation Room.
Pop pop pop!
His bones emitted crackling sounds as he felt the substantially increased strength in his body, and Song Chi clenched his fists tightly, throwing punches deliberately and at a steady pace in the Cultivation Room.
After half a day of getting used to his enhanced body, Song Chi finally left the Ruins Market.
Coming out of the bedroom, he immediately ran to the shower, cleaning off the impurities expelled after advancing to lv8 of the Guidance Technique.
His parents weren’t at home; judging by the time, they should have gone on a new round of exploration in the Alien Star Domain.
After casually preparing something to eat, Song Chi sat cross-legged on the sofa, commencing his second cultivation task of the day.

White Tower Floating Land, Jiangyuan City.
As one of the top five cities in the White Tower Floating Land, Jiangyuan City had a population of over 23 million, with a level of overall development a notch above Jiangyuan City’s.
In the central district of Jiangyuan City, near the Jiangyuan Warship Base, there was a sprawling Torch Academy named Jiangyuan First Torch Academy.
Compared to Jiangyuan’s First Torch Academy, Jiangyuan First Academy had a longer history and a stronger faculty.
At this moment, at the female dormitory of Jiangyuan First Academy.
Building 2, Room 508.
Knock knock knock!
Following the knocking, the familiar loud voice of the dormitory supervisor came from outside.
“Shen Youran, you have a package. Hurry up and sign for it, or it’ll be returned.”
