Chapter 376: Silver Yin Yang Concentric Medallions_2
"Alright, thank you, my son. Your father and I have got everything arranged, and your uncle and his wife will be coming to help later on. Now listen to us!"
Song Chi paused and did not continue, waiting for his parents to continue.
Across from him, Song Chao organized his words.
"It's like this, these two Yin Yang Concentric Medallions, your mother and I discovered them during our early exploration of the Starry Sea. They are the products of a highly fragmented secret realm, not yet fully developed to perfection. It wasn't until recently that they were fully nurtured, and your mother and I went to retrieve these jade pendants…"
Song Chao paused momentarily.
Song Chi did not interrupt, he knew his father had more to say.
Indeed, after a moment, Song Chao continued:
"This time when we retrieved these Concentric Medallions, your mother and I discovered in that completely shattered secret realm that there was another pair of Concentric Medallions still being nurtured. However, due to the time of nurturing, they're currently only of Purple Quality."
Song Chi was delighted and then said,
"Dad, do you mean…"
Song Chao did not pause and quickly continued, "Based on your mother's and my judgement, that broken secret realm is on the verge of collapse, which could happen any day. If we let the Concentric Medallions continue to be nurtured within the secret realm, they might elevate to Orange Quality, or they might disappear along with the collapse of the secret realm."
"Your mother and I think that you should make this decision yourself, whether to take the Purple Quality Yin Yang Concentric Medallions now, or to let them continue to be nurtured?"
Song Chao and Chen Lixia had looks of astonishment in their eyes. They initially thought Song Chi would struggle with the decision for a long time, not expecting his response to be so decisive.
After only a moment's hesitation, Song Chi gave his answer:
"Mom and Dad, since it's impossible to predict when the secret realm will collapse, let's take them now. Purple Quality isn't low, and besides, I also have a Fifth Rank Level Silver Apple that can directly upgrade both Concentric Medallions to Orange Quality."
Song Chao and Chen Lixia suddenly realized, surprised that their son actually had such rare resources like Silver Apples, but they also understood that Orange Quality Concentric Medallions, though not flawless, were still incredibly valuable.
A day later, when the couple returned from the Alien Star Domain, they already had a pair of Purple Quality Yin Yang Concentric Medallions in their hands.
Compared to the Red Quality Yin Yang Concentric Medallion components, these Purple ones were much inferior.
With only one feature, "Yin Yang Sublimation," the successful binding improved the firepower, defense, and speed of the two warships by only 10%.
Fortunately, the four Fifth Rank Silver Apples that had matured recently in the Cultivation Secret Realm had not been used by Song Chi. So, after obtaining the two Purple Concentric Medallions, he directly used two Silver Apples in front of his parents to upgrade both Medallions to Orange Quality.
With the upgrade in quality, the attributes of the two Yin Yang Concentric Medallions components had significant changes.
Yang Concentric Medallion lv0
Quality: Orange
Feature: Yin Yang Sublimation
Feature 2: Yin Yang Combined Strength
Consumption: 10/s (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: When the Yin Yang Concentric Medallions are bound to each other, they will amplify each other's effects, permanently increasing the equipped warship's firepower, defense, speed by 20% (the effect is lost when the component is removed)
...
Indeed, there was no need for Song Chi to actively choose a new feature for the two Concentric Medallions; the moment the Silver Apple promoted them, a new feature "Yin Yang Combined Strength" appeared on both Orange Quality Concentric Medallion components.
For this, Song Chi could only attribute it to the peculiar nature of the secret realm or the divinity of the Yin Yang Concentric Medallions themselves.
Right after the promotion was completed, his mother's voice immediately rang out.
"Son, this Yin Concentric Medallion is only for Youran girl, I wouldn't accept anyone else for it!"
To this statement, although Song Chi only replied with a simple "Mhm," the firmness in his tone was particularly evident.
Since he had received the "Shaking Light Star Rank," he had already made up his mind.
Before the major expansion wars of the Yaohan Kingdom, he would try his best to complete the promotion of the Cangqiong to the Zhulu Warship, and afterwards, he would use the "Bi-blood Pan Peach" to break through his Guidance Technique.
Then he would take the initiative to head to the Northern Dome Star Domain of the Yaohan Kingdom to try to bring Shen Youran back, even if he encountered insurmountable factors along the way, he at least needed to see that girl in person and hand her a "Ruins Market Walking Command" personally.
After safely storing the pair of orange "Concentric Medallions," Song Chi and his parents agreed to officially start the warship promotion mission in three days, and then head to the Alien Star Domain together to hunt high-rank aliens.
Back in his own courtyard, he summoned the Cang Qiong again.
"Still have two five-rank 'Silver Apples' left, which two components should I use them on?"
Standing in the battleship's main control room, Song Chi hesitated.
The reason why he didn't use the four five-rank "Silver Apples" immediately before was actually due to a factor.
His gaze shifted, falling on several components.
There were many components on the Cang Qiong that had used five-rank "Silver Apples."
"Phantom Thruster," "Water Molecule Isolation Outer Membrane," "Void Escape Orb," "Plasma Guardian," "Abnormal Status Purifier," "Holy Cross Beacon," "Proportional Scaling Instrument," "Void Membrane," "Ultrasonic Geomagnetic Detector," "Master-Servant Contract," "Spiritual Beam Fusion Device," "Divine Binding Chains - Imitation," "Winged Launch Platform," "Multi-function Converter," "Virus Spore Rejection Membrane," "Cold Light Heavenly Frost Cannon," "Electromagnetic Ray Cannon."
A total of seventeen components.
Of course, many of them could be dismissed, Song Chi's most troubling choice was among the six: "Phantom Thruster," "Void Escape Orb," "Plasma Guardian," "Abnormal Status Purifier," "Void Membrane," and "Master-Servant Contract."
If it had been before, the "Multi-function Converter" would naturally have been included, but with the gold "Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine" component installed, energy supply on the Cang Qiong was now quite abundant, and it didn't lack the bit offered by the "Multi-function Converter."
The "Divine Binding Chains - Imitation" was even simpler; Song Chi's intention from the start was to acquire the genuine red "Divine Binding Chains."
As his gaze swept across the six components, the first thing Song Chi confirmed was the "Void Escape Orb" component, which he absolutely needed to enhance. Not just because it was the only Blink Device component on the Cang Qiong, having played a crucial role many times, but also because years ago, Song Chi had acquired an extremely high-quality similar component from the Chenxing Yang Continent.
Shadow Escape Instrument lv0
Quality: Blue
Feature: Extra +1 time Blink can be used
Consumption: 500/usage (Spectral Energy Points)
No need to charge; Buffer: 72 hours
Blink uses: 2/2
Effect: Blink in the specified direction, current maximum blink distance 10m.
...
This blue component was also a class of Blink device. Although its blink distance was pitifully small and even when strengthened to third-rank could only blink out ten thousand meters, compared to the speed of a starship, this distance could only be described as superfluous. However, its feature was quite extraordinary.
It was because of this feature that Song Chi did not hesitate to purchase it at that time.
Soon, the "Void Escape Orb" component was upgraded to orange quality, and also because of this newly added feature, it would allow the Cang Qiong to perform consecutive blinks twice in emergency situations, further enhancing its safety.
After the "Void Escape Orb," Song Chi hesitated over the remaining five components for a while, and in the end, he opted for the "Plasma Guardian" component.
It wasn't that this component was the most valuable, but rather its role was to provide protection for Song Chi himself, and personal safety was naturally the most important.
And it could also be used on the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines and Fallen Angel Soldier Statue, which was quite decent as well.
As for the newly added feature, it was specifically chosen by Song Chi to double the shield value.
