Chapter 302: Tidal Giant Primordial Blood, Starry Sea Heavenly Sunflower Tree Core, Silver Engine and Ether Crystal_2
```
At the sound of that bid, Song Chi couldn't help but feel ashamed for even considering joining the auction earlier.
Unless he took out that golden Star-Annihilating Cannon from the Ruins Market or used the "Final Blessing" and the "Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield" components to barter, how could he compete with Sixth Rank tycoons?
When Liu Yuanzhou announced the end of the auction, all the Torch Ship Captains present couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, considering the variety of fantastic items that had appeared.
Red Fire Source UpRank
Sixth Rank Tidal Giant Primordial Blood
Sixth Rank "Starry Sea Sunflower Heart"
Silver Legend "Dark Energy Particle Counteracting Engine"
Any of these items, on their own, could drive a Torch Ship Captain mad with desire, and yet they had all appeared at the same auction.
In fact, during the reveal of these items, it wasn't that no one thought about seizing them by force—quite a number did—but not a single person dared to make a move.
It wasn't just because of the immortal Royal Family "Liu clan" behind the Yao Han Trade Association or the Star-Annihilating Starships of the Liu clan millions of light-years away, but also because the chairman of the Yao Han Trade Association was presiding over the auction.
A seasoned Sixth Rank level Fearless Captain, who, if anyone dared to have any cunning thoughts, could suppress them with a flip of the hand.
This had been proven multiple times in the dozens of past Yao Han Trade Association auctions.
Once he stepped out of the First Auction House, Song Chi immediately summoned the Cangqiong and waited as the Warship disappeared into the clouds, then entered the Ruins Market for a short while. When he returned, he held a black Communication Bracelet in his hand.
Comparing it with the Quantum Communication Bracelet from his family, Song Chi found the black bracelet to be very similar in function. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
Confirming this, he felt even more that the woman behind it was no simple character.
After pondering for a long while, Song Chi activated the bracelet and dialed the only contact on the bracelet.
Doot doot doot!
With the familiar sound of communication, Song Chi's breathing instinctively slowed down; his impression of the woman was quite deep, especially her terribly cloying communication style.
"Well, well, well, not contacting your sister for twenty years? "
"You smelly little brother, have you forgotten about your sister? You're really heartless..."
Song Chi:...
Even with ample mental preparation, the familiar magnetic female voice that came through the bracelet still made his face darken.
Those unaware would probably think he had done something worthy of abandonment.
Of course, he was just momentarily unsettled in his heart, and not really angry, as he could detect a faint sense of excitement in her tone.
It was evident that the woman on the other end was pleased with his initiative to make contact after twenty years.
Hearing no reply from Song Chi for a long time, another giggle came through the bracelet.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop teasing you, come on, talk to me..."
Seeing that her tone had finally become more normal, Song Chi then spoke.
...
On Star Avenue, midway, about a dozen miles away from the Dragon Spine Shops lies the Legendary Guildhall.
While the building housing the Legendary Guildhall doesn't come close to the height of the properties of the five major powers in the duchy, the fact that it occupies an entire building on the highly sought-after Star Avenue speaks volumes about the power of its owner.
Above the Vault of Heaven, a 1,300-meter-long Warship emerged from the clouds, gliding slowly down towards the Legendary Guildhall building.
Because it intentionally concealed the Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield components' radiance, Cangqiong currently appeared as an ordinary Cruiser that no one would associate with the Seventh Sequence Flagship of the Dinghai Song Family.
Looking down upon the Legendary Guildhall building, the glint in Song Chi's eyes sharpened.
Even though this building fell short of the Dragon Spine Shop Building, he knew all too well the price one had to pay to secure an entire building on Star Avenue.
According to Song Yufeng, even getting a small shop on Star Avenue was not simply a matter of money; one also needed substantial backing, let alone an entire building.
This fact further solidified the idea in Song Chi's mind.
As the Cangqiong descended slowly, it was soon recalled just above the rooftop of the Legendary Guildhall. As for Song Chi, cloaked in Spectral Energy, he landed steadily on the docking platform at the center of the rooftop.
```
This time, he did not don the long robe and cloak as he had twenty years ago; instead, he boldly showed his face.
Of course, he was wearing a bionic skin mask.
Previously, at that auction, Song Chi did not wear a mask but revealed himself with his real face.
After all, among those first-rate powers in the duchy, his appearance was no secret, but now it was different; Song Chi instinctively did not want to meet this old acquaintance with his true face.
It might be because he feared that the delicate relationship between the two of them would change, or perhaps he simply did not want his identity to be known to the other.
So, before recalling the Cang Qiong, he once again donned the bionic skin mask.
At the roof of the Legendary Guildhall, Ansewei, who had been waiting there, smiled. Seeing that Song Chi's flagship had been upgraded to a cruiser and that his own Guidance Technique had also reached Third Rank, the woman's smile became even more enchanting.
"I was wondering, my brother hasn't sought out his sister for twenty years; it turns out you were busy advancing. It seems that in someone's eyes, sister is truly dispensable, truly heartbreaking!"
As she spoke, the smile on the woman's face suddenly vanished, replaced by an expression of utter heartbreak, her countenance strikingly sincere.
Song Chi rolled his eyes.
"Compared to twenty years ago, your temperament hasn't changed at all."
The woman quickly shed her sorrowful expression, her face once again lit up with a joyous smile.
"What's wrong, does little brother not like it?"
As she spoke, her tone abruptly shifted.
"Or is it, little stinker, that you want your sister to be more proactive?"
As she spoke, the woman's voluptuous figure slowly leaned in, the two were only a few centimeters apart; from a distance, it looked as though the woman was pressing her soft body directly against Song Chi.
In between breaths, Song Chi could even catch the faint fragrance emanating from her.
Touching the woman's fair forehead and pushing her away, Song Chi, wearing the bionic skin mask, showed no visible emotional change.
With his identity having changed, along with an increase in strength, his wariness of this woman was not as before.
He simply said:
"Let's speak properly!"
The woman wasn't annoyed, the smile remained on her face, but she didn't continue speaking, instead waiting for Song Chi to start the conversation.
She could tell that Song Chi must have come with a request.
Gathering his thoughts, he began:
"About that, I need to trouble you with something..."
Before he could finish, the woman interrupted with a cold voice.
"How rude, if you want someone to do something for you, you should have the attitude of asking for help. First, call me 'sister Ansewei'…"
Song Chi's expression darkened again, he gathered his thoughts once more, but still, the last two words 'sister' just couldn't leave his mouth.
"Ansewei..."
Ansewei rolled her eyes but didn't take him to task. Her bright eyes whirled as she said:
"Ether Crystal and Sand of Time, huh? Wait a moment."
With that, she led Song Chi into a reception room that seemed somewhat unique and then quickly stepped away.
She did not make Song Chi wait long, soon Ansewei reappeared, but this time she had in her hand a crystal stone that flickered with white light.
This crystal stone radiated a faint white light, its surface layered with obvious spatial fluctuations; indeed, it was the Ether Crystal that Song Chi had long sought in vain.
Noticing the surprise in Song Chi's eyes, Ansewei's gaze danced while she said:
"I don't have the Sand of Time, but this Ether Crystal has been in my collection for many years!!!"
