Chapter 219: Five Components at Fourth Rank, The Soaring Attributes of Cang Qiong_2
```
After contemplating for a while, he opened the detailed properties panel of the Soldier Figurine.

[Description: A darling of space born in the void, with the ability to contend with Void Demons.]
"Well, I might have overthought it. Aside from changes in level and rank, there really aren't any other changes to this Soldier Figurine..."
Seeing that nothing else caught his eye, and guessing that the true effectiveness would likely be seen in actual combat, Song Chi quickly lost interest. After recalling the Soldier Figurine, he turned to open the warship panel of the Cangqiong.

[Spectral Energy Pool: 180000/180000]
[Supplies: Three strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, 509 strands of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin, 22780 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, 196 Titanium Crystals...]
As he looked over the properties panel in front of him, Song Chi became increasingly satisfied. With the recent enhancements, the Cangqiong's attributes had truly reached a new height.
However, this enhancement phase came to an end for now. Although there were still some Third-Rank Floating Land Origin and Titanium Crystals left, Song Chi wanted to save them for the future enhancement of the "Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon" and "Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar", and was not planning to use them yet.
Moreover, his interest in that ancient starry background had been rekindled. With the enhancement of the "Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine Tree" component to lv40, he could now delve deeper into that star domain. Considering that he didn't have much time left for exploring that region, he naturally knew he had to act quickly.
One undoubted point was that the ancient stellar battlefield was definitely a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
The owner of that super-gigantic Tri-Eye Race flagship was at least of the Sixth Rank, possibly even Seventh Rank. Even if he could only manage to get some scraps from that flagship, it would probably be greatly beneficial to him.
Knowing this, and now that he had the preliminary capability for further exploration, Song Chi was naturally eager.
As he thought, his eyes began to shift continuously.
He definitely had to make a second exploration of the ancient starry sky battlefield, and the sooner the better, but exactly when to go and what preparations were needed had to be planned in detail in advance.
One quarter of an hour later, Song Chi exited the Cangqiong, already with a plan in mind.
Less than a month later, he was to travel to the Bailing Starfield to take command.
After all, considering a starfield spanning thousands of light-years, large-scale development was not something they could accomplish with just a few Second and Third Rank Torch Captains; it required small-scale migration from within the Pulse.
Zero Rank and First Rank Torch Captains were in great demand, and of course, even more so were the unawakened common clan members. Song Chi estimated that initially, at least tens of thousands of clan members would need to be moved there.
```
This is still the bare minimum. With hundreds of Starry Sea Floating Lands under the jurisdiction of the Bailing Starfield, spreading out the workforce means there are just about a hundred people on each. It's far from enough, we will need to continue deploying more hands.
Unfortunately, the Tenth Direct Vein has only recently been reconstructed. Though more than a year has passed and quite a few people from collateral lines have come over, the total population is still less than a hundred thousand. Allocating nearly half of the workforce at once is already quite remarkable. More than that, and normal operations within the vein would be impacted.
It's precisely because of the shortage of hands in the vein that he needs to go there personally to ensure there is no significant loss of personnel.
However, it's also an opportunity, an opportunity to have a lot of time to explore that ancient starry sky battlefield.
Just leaving an enslaved creature in the Bailing Starfield to keep abreast of the latest developments and maintaining a spatial anchor point to ensure a quick return in case of unforeseen circumstances would mean he could devote the rest of his time to the ancient battlefield.
But achieving this means ensuring that he could always leave a new space beacon on the ancient battlefield whenever he returned, and also leave one on the Blood Barbarian Continent.
So, the problem at hand is to ensure the Cang Qiong has enough space beacons.
Therefore...
"I need to get another special component related to space beacons... preferably of purple quality or higher!"
"Also, I need to come up with a way to deal with those ancient corpses in the battlefield, each is a source of high-rank creature primordial blood; it's too torturous to just watch without being able to do anything..."
Muttering to himself, Song Chi left the Ruins Market.
In his personal room, after activating the Quantum Communication Bracelet and logging into the Dragon Spine Continent family forum, he began a keyword search.
"Components related to high-rank creature source blood"
As the search commenced, a multitude of forum posts quickly appeared on the projected screen before him.

[Explosive news! Recently entered a small relic site and got a drop of Fourth Rank "Green Moon Krait" source blood, only trading for an orange quality Fire Source UpRank, interested parties please PM!]
[Paying top price for Fourth Rank source blood, willing to offer an orange engine component, details upon meeting!]
[I am Song He of the Eighth Direct Vein, 550 years old this year, willing to pledge four purple components as collateral for a loan of one drop of Fourth Rank source blood. If the Rank advancement to Fourth Rank is successful, I'll unconditionally support the lender's own Rank advancement to Fourth Rank!]
...
Despite the many posts, they were either requests to purchase source blood or offers to sell it—none of the components met his needs.
After some thought, Song Chi tried a new keyword.
"Large item scaling component"
It was just an attempt, but to his surprise, his search turned up an interesting lead.
[Purple special component "Proportional Scaling Instrument", attributes listed below, interested friends please PM!]
Proportional Scaling Instrument lv0
Quality: Purple
Feature: Scalable multiplier additionally doubled
Consumption: 2000/operation (Spectral Energy Points)
Charge: 30s; Buffer: 60 minutes
Effect: Perform proportional scaling on specified non-living items, maximum scaling ratio currently 10 times (5x2).
UpRank Requirement: 7 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 700 Spectral Energy Points
After reviewing the attributes screenshot attached to the post, a glint appeared in Song Chi's eyes—obviously, this component perfectly met his requirements.
Although it could only scale non-living items, those ancient corpses had been dead for tens of thousands of years and no longer fell within the category of living beings.
Moreover, the current scaling factor was only 10 times, but once the Enhancement Level was increased, this ratio would definitely increase significantly.
More so, he would experiment in advance to see how much the ratio could be after the Enhancement to the Second Rank; if it could exceed 50 times, it should be approximately enough.
PS: That's all for today!
