National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 562 [Earth Spirit Ginseng]

After strengthening the two components, Song Chi returned to the Dragon Ridge Continent.

In recent years, there have been a lot of things happening within the clan. Warships have been traveling back and forth between the Dragon Ridge Continent and multiple floating lands through the space wormholes of the Falling Fire Plain.

Among them, the most frequently visited ones are Jiexing Floating Land, Yaohan Floating Land, and Yinpan Floating Land.

These three floating lands are all level seven floating lands, with the largest flow of people, and are also the largest dumping points for the Song family to sell war resources to the outside world.

That’s right, the Song family had long stopped purchasing war resources from abroad and instead began preparing to sell them abroad.

In the past fifty years, the Song family used up the small portion of the floating land origin remaining in the secret vault and purchased a large amount of war resources at a low price.

What is their purpose in doing this?
Is it just for the upcoming war of civilizations?
Of course not. The various war materials accumulated on the Dragon Ridge Continent are enough for the entire family to sustain a civilization war that will last for tens of thousands of years. They will never be used up.

The Song family's original purpose was to make a profit by buying low and selling high.

Four years ago, the four major empires of the Xinhuo human race officially issued a notice that they would officially launch an all-out war against the Eight-Armed Snake Demon River Community in fifty years. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a shock to the entire Xinhuo human river community.

Not only the Xinhuo human river community, but also the Eight-Armed Snake Demon river community is also undercurrent surging. Under this rolling undercurrent, the first thing to be affected is the war materials. In just four years, the prices of all kinds of war materials have skyrocketed dozens of times.

Well, it is precisely because of this that the Song family has made full preparations for the sale of war resources. The reason why the sales have not officially started is that the top management of the Song family has not yet issued any instructions.

Dragon's Back Sacred Mountain, the family's ancestral palace.

Surrounded by hundreds of family elders, the issue of selling war resources was being loudly discussed in the hall.

"According to the detailed statistical information just sent, the war resources acquired in the past fifty years are enough to support the family in a war that lasts for 80,000 years. How much do you think should be kept and how much should be sold to the outside world?"

"Although the next battle is going to be a tough one, I don't think it will last too long. After all, there is more than one eight-armed snake demon civilization surrounding our Xinhuo human river community. Three thousand years at most."

"Dai Jiang, you underestimate the war between the civilizations of the two river systems. I'm afraid it won't last even for five thousand years, let alone three thousand years."

"Ten thousand years, let's keep enough resources to support the war for ten thousand years, and sell the rest at a high price. In order to improve the overall strength of the family, most of the resources accumulated by the family for thousands of years have been used up recently. We must take this opportunity to recover some blood!"

"Ten thousand years is quite appropriate!"

……

While everyone was talking, Song Chi, who had just returned to Longji Continent, walked in.

At the top of the hall, Song Shiyuan looked towards Song Chi.

"Xiaochi, you came just in time. How much war supplies do you think should be left behind?"

Song Chi had heard what happened from afar, so he answered quickly:

"Personally, I think that apart from the core military equipment and supplies that can assist in combat, such as combat robots, Hellfire mechas, and Moruo Sky-Escape mechas, there is no need to keep too many of the other equipment. A thousand years is enough."

Hearing his words, many elders in the hall frowned, obviously disagreeing.

"Oh, tell me your reasons!"

Song Shiyuan knew Song Chi's character very well, so he didn't rush to refute, but wanted to hear the explanation first.

"It's very simple. We control the huge trading channel of the Red Star Continent. During the Civilization War, we can purchase war resources simultaneously. With the help of the [Dimensional Space Stone], I can bring the materials purchased from the Red Star Continent back to the front line at any time. Moreover, I can also continue to purchase materials in the Zhutian Market, so we will basically not be short of those ordinary war materials!"

"Instead of doing that, it would be better to sell all these war resources at a high price. This will allow the family to recover a lot of money and also allow us to purchase those good things that may appear on the market later."

After hearing his explanation, the elders who originally disagreed suddenly understood and their attitudes changed. They all felt that what Song Chi said made sense.

At the head of the hall, Song Shiyuan smiled and nodded.

"Xiao Chi is right. We who control two special trading channels will not lack ordinary war resources. The great war of civilizations is imminent. This is a full-scale war that all Xinhuo captains of the entire Xinhuo human river community need to participate in. In this case, many small and medium-sized forces that are not well prepared will take out some of their most valuable resources in exchange for a large amount of war supplies.

This is a great opportunity for us to acquire these top-quality parts, or high-level spiritual objects, and special resources. Once we miss this opportunity, it will be hard to come by again!"

At this point, the entire plan has actually been finalized. Only enough resources to support the thousand-year war will be kept, and more than 95% of the other war materials will be sold at high prices.

But here comes a new problem.

"Now that the price of war materials outside has risen 13 times, when is the best time to start selling them?"

This question is obviously extremely important. If they sell off too early, they won't make as much money. But if they sell off too late, will they still be able to buy the good stuff on the market? They will have been bought by other forces long ago.

Based on this issue, the elders discussed it for nearly half an hour, and finally everyone decided on a time.

ten years!

Ten years later, the family will sell off all of its assets on the three floating lands of Jiexing, Yaohan, and Yinpan. After the discussion, the elders left one after another, and only Song Chi, Song Shiyuan, Song Shixing, and Song Yan were left in the ancestral hall.

Song Shiyuan's face did not look very good and his voice was a little heavy.

"The ancestor's breakthrough was not smooth. The 80,000-year-old [Nirvana Body Tempering Fruit] was still too much of a stretch."

Hearing this, everyone's heart sank. For the family, this was definitely extremely bad news.

But everyone could only look at each other and couldn't help much.

It is extremely difficult to reach the seventh level through the Guiding Technique, and not just any spiritual object will be effective.

……

Yaoguang Xingling group chat
"No. 32 "Jingzhe": Who has a spiritual object that can help break through the seventh-level guidance technique?"

"No. 3 "Corpse Dog": Just used up."

"No. 32 "Jingzhe": Uncle Corpse Dog, did you succeed?"

"Corpse Dog No. 3: Lucky!"

"No. 32 "Qingzhe": Congratulations!"

“No. 19 “Zhaoyang”: Warm congratulations!”

"No. 22 "Red Fox": Congratulations!"

……

Song Chi was unwilling to give up and asked around in the Star Order group chat, but unfortunately in the end he only got the news that "Corpse Dog" was successfully promoted to the captain of a star destroyer, and none of the members had this kind of high-level spiritual object in their hands for the time being.

According to the energy behind the Star Tower members, this is obviously unreasonable.

However, considering that the great war of civilizations is imminent, it is not surprising that all the Xinhuo captains want to take advantage of this last period of time to try to get promoted.

After all, the stronger the strength, the greater the chance of surviving in the subsequent giant civilization war.

Two years later, Song Chi received news from Yuan Zu.

When he and Song Yan arrived at the ancestral temple one after another, they received a message from the original ancestor.

A hundred thousand year old [Earth Spirit Ginseng] appeared on the silver plate floating land. [Earth Spirit Ginseng] is a high-level spiritual object and plays a great auxiliary role in impacting the seventh-level guiding technique.

Song Shiyuan's intention was to let the two of them go and bring back as much of the [Earth Spirit Ginseng] as possible.

The space wormhole opened by the family in the Milky Way galaxy is not inside the Milky Way Floating Continent, but is located in a small debris belt thousands of light years away from the Milky Way Floating Continent.

The Silver Plate Floating Land is different from the Robbery Star Floating Land. It is the ancestral land of the Tuoba royal family. The monitoring strength is much stronger than that of the Robbery Star Floating Land, which does not have a Star Destroyer Captain. Even with the shielding of a large combined illusion, it cannot be said to be foolproof, so the Song family did not dare to directly place the space wormhole landing point under the Silver Plate Floating Land.

Because of this, Song Chi, who felt it was too troublesome, took Song Yan directly to the Silver Plate Floating Land via the market.

It just so happened that the place where the [Earth Spirit Ginseng] appeared happened to be this Yinpan City, which couldn't be more convenient.

After arriving at Yinpan City, Song Chi and his companions rushed to the target shop immediately.

Yinpan City, Tianyin Shop.

As a directly affiliated shop under the Tianyin Chamber of Commerce, the scale of Tianyin Shop ranks among the top 20 in Yinpan City.

Tianyin Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the Silver Plate Kingdom, and is ranked among the top three. It has an ultimate dreadnought at its helm. Whether in terms of financial resources or scale, it cannot be compared with the [Annan Consortium] that had troubled the Pan family in the past.

Entering the Tianyin Shop, perhaps sensing the hidden sixth-order life pressure from the two people, the maid took Song Chi and Song Yan directly to the top floor.

"My dear dreadnought captains, I am Ji Min, the steward of the Tianyin Chamber of Commerce. What would you like to buy?"

Song Chi and Song Yan looked at each other, and finally Song Yan spoke:
"Deacon Ji, I heard that your shop recently purchased a 100,000-year-old [Earth Spirit Ginseng]. Is this true?"

Upon hearing that the two people's target was the Earth Spirit Ginseng, Ji Min frowned.

He just quickly shook his head.

"My lords, I am truly sorry. The news about [Earth Spirit Ginseng] is correct, but... we have no intention of taking action."

Hearing this, Song Chi and the others were not disappointed, because from the other party's tone, it was obvious that there was still room for discussion.
