Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1272: Chapter 681: [Transaction] (2)

To Song Chi’s surprise, what captivated his attention the most was actually the [Starlight Compass].

This [Starlight Compass] was originally acquired from the Robber Star Race battlefield and had never been traded away. Unexpectedly, it caught the notice of this True Spirit Wizard at this moment.

Soon, the True Spirit Wizard took another item out of his own storage ring.

It was a flame emitting golden light, clearly a strand of the Golden Spark Artifact.

Evidently, the other party was well-prepared, having already learned from Levan that he needed high-tier Fire Seed Artifacts.

This strand of Fire Seed Artifact was called [Red Buddha Golden Flame], seemingly related to another Star Sea Dominator Level Civilization, the [Shi Clan Civilization], but Song Chi wasn’t concerned about this at the moment.

Gathering his spiritual energy, he quickly obtained the attributes of this Fire Seed Artifact.

"What a pity..."

Not long after, he shook his head in disappointment. This strand of [Red Buddha Golden Flame] was just a common Fire Seed Artifact and couldn’t be converted into a ship component.

Even so, he ultimately agreed to the exchange.

Though it couldn’t be converted into an upgraded Fire Source, the Creation and Transformation Eight Trigrams Furnace·Broken components required this type of high-tier Fire Seed. The elixirs refined by the Creation and Transformation Eight Trigrams Furnace all required the consumption of the Fire Seed Artifact’s origin.

Due to this limitation, Song Chi knew he would have a hard time passing up high-tier Fire Seed Artifacts in the future.

...

While the True Spirit Wizard continued trading in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the impact of his entry into the market had already begun to spread.

In an unknown Star Domain of the Shattered Starry Sea, on the Gods Continent.

In the southern part of the continent, the New Moon Tribe, within the tribal temple.

"Mei Lin, how come you’ve returned so quickly? Was there something rare in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market?"

In the center of the temple, the Fifth Rank Dark Night Elf "Mei Lin" had just appeared, and the many tribe elders immediately spoke up eagerly.

Compared to hundreds of years ago, the number of Dark Night Elf elders in the temple had noticeably increased, a direct benefit from the high-tier resources traded in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

With these resources that were once invaluable on the Gods Continent, the New Moon Tribe’s strength had multiplied over the years. Not only had the number of Sixth Rank elders increased, but even the number of ordinary Dark Night Elves under the tribe had grown substantially.

Correspondingly, the New Moon Tribe’s influence far exceeded the past, with territory nearly ten times that of a thousand years ago.

Because of the massive gains from the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the elf elders took it very seriously.

"Returning to the elders, that’s not the case. I exited the market this time to report to the Main Mother!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the temple immediately sank. If it involved the New Moon Matriarch, it meant a major event must have occurred in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

Without delay, the elf grand elder on the left quickly activated a silver oddity in his hand. Shortly after, a faint spatial ripple appeared in the center of the temple, and the New Moon Matriarch suddenly appeared.

"Summoning me actively, has something difficult to decide happened within the tribe?"

Irritation flashed across the New Moon Matriarch’s exquisite face, clearly displeased with the disturbance.

In these past few hundred years, it wasn’t just the tribe benefiting; as the Matriarch, she was actually the greatest beneficiary. It even caused her, originally elevated through a special ritual, to feel a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

Her promotion to the Seventh Rank through a special ritual dramatically reduced her lifespan to ten thousand years. For a dominant creature, how unbearable was that?

Having one’s lifespan forcibly reduced by ten times, watching the tribe’s foundations rapidly grow, had made the New Moon Matriarch increasingly dissatisfied in recent years.

In her plans, she was meant to personally lead the New Moon Tribe to ascend to the pinnacle of the Gods Continent as a legendary matriarch. In this grand plan, how could ten thousand years of life be sufficient?

With this in mind, over the past hundred years or more, leveraging the considerable monthly gains from the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the New Moon Matriarch had already started focusing all her efforts on resolving her lifespan issues, issuing orders within the tribe to not be disturbed unless in a moment of crisis.

However, before she could get angry, Mei Lin quickly recounted everything that had occurred in the market previously.

Upon hearing that another dominant creature had actively entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, especially one from the renowned Wizard Civilization, the New Moon Matriarch immediately found it difficult to remain calm.

Despite solitary research for over a hundred years, she’d gotten nowhere. If not for a sense of vigilance, she’d long wanted to enter the Zhu Tian Ruins Market herself to seek help from the mysterious [Ruins Market Lord].

Now that others had set a precedent, she naturally couldn’t stand it any longer.

After much contemplation, the New Moon Matriarch eventually took the [Market Projection Rank] from Mei Lin.

With her immense magic energy surging within, the [Market Projection Rank] began to emit a brilliant golden light.

...

In the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi remained in the free stall area, his eyebrows twitching.

’Is today some kind of lucky day? How come a second dominant alien race has entered the market so quickly?’

’It’s... the New Moon Matriarch of the New Moon Tribe!’

While he felt an inexplicable joy, he showed no changes outwardly.

’As expected, this New Moon Matriarch was influenced by the True Spirit Wizard to come in...’

Noticing the New Moon Matriarch heading directly towards the [Oddity Exchange Shop] after leaving the inn, a smile flickered at the corner of Song Chi’s mouth.

Earlier, despite placing the drop of [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood] in the Oddity Exchange Shop for so long, the New Moon Matriarch had never been drawn into the market. This time, with the True Spirit Wizard taking the lead, plus the New Moon Matriarch fearing the [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood] might be traded away by the True Spirit Wizard, she rushed into the market.

Upon entering the Oddity Exchange Shop, the New Moon Matriarch, in her close-fitting armor, tall and slender, paid no heed to the curious gaze from the True Spirit Wizard. Her alluring eyes quickly fixated on the [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood].

Without any delay, her storage necklace around her neck shimmered, and soon a special small jade vial appeared in her hand.

"Under the Lord of the Market, I am willing to exchange two drops of Eighth Rank Evil God’s Blood for the [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood] artifact!"

Months ago, she had already learned from Mei Lin about the exchange requirements for the [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood], so she came well-prepared this time.

However, the response from the central shop’s light screen made the New Moon Matriarch furrow her brows tightly.

[Two drops of ordinary Eighth Rank Evil God’s Blood are not enough to exchange for a drop of Tenth Rank Abyss Demon God’s Blood!]

Seeing this, Song Chi remained unmoved.

For this low-ranked faith god who ascended to the Seventh Rank by special means, she might not have too many good things in hand, but the Eighth Rank deity [Moon God] from the Gods Continent behind her who wanted the [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood] certainly did.

He’s well aware that this ancient Eighth Rank deity possesses quite a number of treasures.

To say nothing else, at least the black oddity [Eternal Night Crown] was highly likely in their possession.

Want this [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood]? Then bring more things to trade!

Song Chi wasn’t an idiot.

The [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood] was of little use to him, yet in the eyes of his same kind of low-ranked faith gods, it was something sufficient to drive them insane.

By his intuition, if [Moon Goddess Elune] truly got her hands on this drop of [Eight-Armed Demon God’s Blood], although it wouldn’t directly help her breach the great rank bottleneck and enter the Ninth Rank, it would at least allow her to take another significant step forward within the Eighth Rank phase, yielding boundless benefits.

As for whether she’d later become influenced by the rightful owner of the Bottomless Abyss, the [Eight-Armed Demon God], or even become their puppet, that wasn’t his concern.

There’s no concept of after-sales in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market currently.

Indeed, after some hesitation, the storage necklace on the New Moon Matriarch’s neck was activated once more, and a brand-new item was retrieved.

[Moon Goddess Elune] evidently had prepared well in advance.
