Chapter 94: Chapter 82: Zhulu Warship [Deep Sea Vast Sky] (Subscription Requested)

When Song Chi saw the attributes of the strange object, he was taken aback, and the result once again defied his expectations. What Song Mingsong had given him was actually an Advanced Fire Source for the Seed of Torch.

One must know, Starry Sea oddities capable of satisfying the evolution requirements of the Seed of Torch are at least of Purple Quality, and they are far rarer than other strange objects of the same rank. Thus, the value of an Advanced Fire Seed typically ranks at the top among all Purple Quality oddities.

[Strange Object: Cold Spring Cold Flame]

[Quality: Purple]

[Evolvable: 1 {Cold Flame Fierce Flame Main Cannon}, 2 {Seed of Torch Advanced Fire Source}]

[Note: A Fire Attribute Purple Relic with many uses.]

Thinking of this, he eagerly controlled the flames of the Seed of Torch to wrap around this strand of Fire Seed, and soon a new attribute panel appeared.

Advanced Fire Source for the Seed of Torch (Cold Spring Cold Flame)

Effect: When merged with a Colorless Quality Seed of Torch, the quality of the Seed of Torch will be elevated by one rank.

Note: A strand of cold attribute fire bred on the frigid Floating Land, it grants a special benefit to the Seed of Torch and has an unimaginable allure for Torch Ship Captains of lower quality.

After reading these new attributes, he felt somewhat disappointed.

This strand of Cold Spring Cold Flame, like the Ten Thousand Years Star Core Fire he had obtained from the Mechanical Race before, could only elevate the Seed of Torch from Colorless to White, belonging to those of the lowest level among Advanced Fire Sources.

Common knowledge within the sphere of Torch Human Civilization states that Fire Seeds capable of elevating the quality of the Seed of Torch are at the very least of Purple Quality. Special Fire Seeds of White and Blue Quality simply cannot effectively aid the Seed of Torch.

But even among Purple Fire Seeds, there is a hierarchy of quality.

Like the Ten Thousand Years Star Core Fire and the Cold Spring Cold Flame in front of him, both are among the lowest level of Purple Fire Seeds, only capable of raising a Colorless Seed of Torch to White. To upgrade a White Seed of Torch to Blue, one would need a Top Rank Purple Fire Seed.

As for further upgrading a Blue Seed of Torch to Purple, that would require an Orange Quality special Fire Seed. This is why the Innate Quality of the Seed of Torch is so significant. If it were so easy to enhance the quality, then there wouldn’t be over 90% of Torch Ship Captains in Torch Human Civilization with Colorless Quality Seeds of Torch.

Although he felt some disappointment, the warmth in his heart was genuine. Song Mingsong had offered this Purple Fire Seed precisely because he knew that the Seed of Torch Song Chi had awakened was only Colorless. Who would have thought he had something like the Zhu Tian Ruins Market up his sleeve, allowing him to upgrade his Seed of Torch so swiftly.

After pondering for a while, Song Chi decided to answer truthfully.

“Grandfather, this Fire Seed is of no use to your grandson, please take it back.”

The chamber fell suddenly silent, and Bai Xiuqin was the first to recover. She asked gently,

“Chi’er, are you saying that the Seed of Torch within your Ancestral Torch is already of White Quality?”

“Yes, Grandma!”

Song Chi nodded firmly.

He could have kept the Cold Spring Cold Flame and later sold it on the black market or the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, and he could have taken the opportunity to perfectly conceal his already Advanced Seed of Torch.

The reason he did not choose to do so was that Song Chi naturally had his own reasons.

Purple Fire Seeds are very rare, and even with Grandfather’s strength and status, he probably didn’t have too many. Considering the younger generation in the family, his second uncle’s Seed of Torch is still Colorless, and there are four others who have yet to awaken their Seeds of Torch; there’s no guarantee that Colorless Seeds of Torch won’t appear again among them.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, leaving this strand of Cold Spring Cold Flame for his own family to use would be more cost-effective.

Last, and most importantly, although revealing that the quality of his Seed of Torch has advanced would come as a great surprise to them, after all, he had already done quite a few unexpected things before.

The Tears of the Mermaid, Cangqiong’s First Rank advancement within a little over two months, Intermediate Energy Crystals, etc., all of these are achievements that a newly Awakened individual would find difficult.

However, even if his father, grandfather, and grandmother were surprised, they were ultimately his closest elders. Even if they knew he had some secrets of his own, they wouldn’t harbor any malicious thoughts, and they wouldn’t even ask too many questions.

Based on these points, Song Chi made the decision to be frank.

Originally, he still retained that overly cautious personality from his previous life on Blue Star, unwilling to reveal too much even to his family. But after previously experiencing John Tros’ assassination attempt and now his grandfather’s gesture of offering two Purple Relics, he fully realized one thing: only one’s own family can truly be relied upon, and he could completely trust his elders.

After a brief silence, Song Mingsong and the other two elders turned around, looking at Song Chi, who was bowing before them, feeling that their grandson was particularly well-behaved. Compared to the troublemakers of the elder son’s, second son’s, and fourth son’s families, Song Chi truly gave them less worry, having brought them more than a few surprises and admiration.

“Hahaha… Good, worthy of being my grandson, Song Mingsong. Nevertheless, since I’ve already given you this strand of Cold Spring Cold Flame, there’s no talking about taking it back. Deal with it as you see fit,”

After saying that, Song Mingsong patted Song Chi on the shoulder, feeling extremely pleased.

Before leaving the chamber, Grandma Bai Xiuqin made a special reminder.
