Global Era of Star trekking

Under these circumstances, the wisp of Red Origin Heavenly Fire indeed represents a piece of Orange Fire Seed Oddity that it genuinely might be able to obtain. How could it not be concerned?

As a Fire Elemental Life, Fire Seed Oddities could greatly promote their growth, optimize and perfect their Fire Elemental Bodies. The higher the quality of the Fire Seed, the stronger this effect would be.

Therefore, it had to make every effort to secure this strand of Red Origin Heavenly Fire.

"Lord of the Ruins Market, the trading at the market is about to end and I can't collect other purple Fire Seeds in such a short time. May I use other items to make up the difference in value?"

After speaking, there was no need for Song Chi to ask. The Fire Elemental Life knowingly brought out a large pile of items again.

Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence

Li Fire Copper
Your adventure continues at empire

Thousand-Year Fire Camphor Heartwood

Thousand-Year Firethorn Fruit

...

The surprises brought by the other party continued. Among the items taken out this time, there were also many valuable ones.

It goes without saying that the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence is one of the special resources potentially used when an Escort Ship is upgraded to a Cruiser.

Li Fire Copper is a high-level enhancement material, often used in the enhancement of high-quality Fire Attribute Components.

Thousand-Year Fire Camphor Heartwood can be used to repair the hull of a ship.

Firethorn Fruit, like Deep Water Clam Pearls, can assist a Torch Ship Captain's cultivation of the Guidance Technique.

However, these were not what Song Chi was most concerned about. What Song Chi valued was the fiery red stone the Fire Elemental Life finally took out.

Although the stone itself was fiery red, the radiance it emitted was orange, an undeniable Orange Oddity.

Moreover, this Orange Oddity was no ordinary object; it was a Strange Object that Song Chi had heard of multiple times recently, exceedingly rare.

[Strange Object: Fire-Attributed Law Crystal]

[Quality: Orange]

[Effect: Contains a strand of the Law of Fire. Carrying it can increase the speed of Comprehension of the Law of Fire. When actively triggered, it can serve as a one-time medium for Law Enhancement of Fire.]

[Remark: A Law Stone that, under the nourishment of infinite Fire Attribute Energy, was eventually fortunate enough to integrate a strand of the Starry Sea's Law of Fire, transforming into an Orange Quality Starry Sea Oddity.]

"It's actually a Law Crystal..."

To the items previously mentioned, Song Chi was merely somewhat intrigued, but upon seeing this Fire-Attributed Law Crystal, his heart immediately grew hot with desire.

This item was not of much use to him now, and he didn't know which path of Law he would take in the future, but that didn't mean he didn't want to get his hands on it.

Law Crystals were already rare Strange Objects, and for creatures that matched their attributes, its allure far surpassed that of other oddities of the same rank. If he obtained it now, even if he did not follow this Law in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about being stuck with it; just releasing it to the market, he could easily sell it.

Even more, should he encounter someone in urgent need, he could sell it for an extremely high price.

With this in mind, Song Chi had already made up his mind.

The characters on the screen at the center of the shop changed, eventually forming several new lines of text.

"This Fire-Attributed Law Crystal is it. I'll give thee two choices:

"First, directly exchange it for the Red Origin Heavenly Fire."

"Second, exchange it for 12 subsequent uses of the 'Ruins Market Guest Token.' As for the Red Origin Heavenly Fire, thou can collect the other purple Fire Seeds later and come back to exchange!]

After reading the three lines of text, the Fire Elemental Life fell into contemplation.

Seeing this, Song Chi was actually a little nervous, anticipating the Fire Elemental Life's subsequent choice.

Based on the principle of maximizing profits, he naturally hoped that the other party would choose the second option, which would mean that the [Fire-Attributed Law Crystal] would equate to additional earnings.

That's because if the other party chose the first option, in order to quickly enhance the Quality of their Seed of Torch, they could only exchange the [Fire-Attributed Law Crystal] with the family in return for Golden Merit Points to redeem the Orange Ascension Fire Source.

As for the second option, it might require a wait of one or two months, but afterwards, he could directly use several pieces of Purple Ascension Fire Source in place of the [Fire-Attributed Law Crystal], thus keeping this extremely precious Law Crystal in his own hands.

(PS: To emphasize, the protagonist doesn't have the Earth Attribute Law Crystal. The damaged Earth Attribute Law Crystal from before was taken out by an alien species and didn't end up in the protagonist's hands, why keep saying that it did?)

After a lengthy wait, the final outcome still tilted in the direction he hoped for.

The Fire Elemental Life chose the second option and traded the [Fire-Attributed Law Crystal] in hand for the already materialized [Ruins Market Guest Token] before it.

Song Chi was very pleased with this result.

He also had some minor speculations about the other party's choice.

The Fire Elemental Life traded away a highly valuable [Fire-Attributed Law Crystal] so casually for three likely reasons.

Either it felt that being only Second Rank, using this Law Crystal was a distant prospect and it was better to bind itself to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, which was destined to have tremendous potential.

Or, for these Fire Elemental Beings, the comprehension and Law Enhancement bestowed by the [Fire-Attributed Law Crystal] were fundamentally unnecessary.

The third possibility was that it had other [Fire-Attributed Law Crystals] in its possession.

Regarding this speculation, Song Chi didn't dwell on it too long. Whatever the reason, it would become clear in the future, and speculating out of the blue was useless for now.

With a thought, the bronze [Ruins Market Guest Token] floating before him trembled slightly, and once the Token landed in the hands of the Fire Elemental Life, its number of uses had changed to 12/12.

The reason for setting the number of uses to 12, instead of the usual 10 for Orange Oddities, was naturally due to the unique nature of the Law Crystal, whose value amongst similar Strange Objects of its hierarchy was always the highest.

Once the trade was finished, the Fire Elemental Life began to collect the items it had previously displayed.

Song Chi was somewhat interested in the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence the other party had, but since the trading time at the Ruins Market was at its final moments, he could only wait for another opportunity to pursue it.

Anyway, the other party had already obtained the [Ruins Market Guest Token], so there was plenty of time in the future.

Moreover, perhaps unbeknownst to Song Chi himself, when the transaction was officially confirmed, a subconscious sigh of relief escaped him.

The Red Origin Heavenly Fire had been in his possession for far too long, so long that he began to wonder if it would be hard to sell for another five, or even ten years.

Now that the trade was settled, and he indeed needed Golden Merit Points to redeem the Orange Ascension Fire Source, he felt genuinely relieved.

...

Shortly after, a strong repulsive force acted upon all the alien species within the Ruins Market, and the next second, these aliens were expelled from the Market, returning to their positions before they had entered.

Bright red clouds enveloped the sky entirely, and towering volcanoes of ten thousand meters high stood on the vast land. Thick smoke billowed out of the volcano mouths that were several kilometers in diameter, mixed with copious amounts of scorching lava.

This was an immensely vast world of flames, where the incessant high temperatures roasted the entire world at all times. Over the long years, it made this part of the world suitable only for the existence of Fire Attribute beings.

At the foot of a hill in the Cang Mang Hills, a fiery figure appeared abruptly. After its appearance out of thin air, the quaint Spatial Gate behind it also completely dissipated.

The fiery figure gripped the bronze Token tightly in its hand and then headed straight for the secret location where it remembered a trace of the Purple Fire Seed Strange Object existed.

It moved swiftly with an unwavering gaze, vowing to secure the Orange Fire Seed as soon as possible.

Only by doing so could it perfect its Elemental Body and have the potential to reach higher realms in the future.

The world it inhabited was expansive and seemingly boundless, with no life knowing if there was an end to it.

In such a huge world, it was no sanctuary; survival of the fittest reigned here. It was common for a Fire Elemental Being to devour another Fire Elemental Life, coupled with equally terrifying Fire Attribute beings, making danger omnipresent.

Only by constantly ascending and ultimately becoming a Fire Element Lord, overseeing a vast area, could one truly enter the upper echelons of this world.

For this reason, it had to strive and strive even harder.
