After both Song Chao and Shen Wenjie counted and verified the numbers, the reserves of this small titanium crystal vein indeed brought them a pleasant surprise.

Compared to the initial estimate of 1,000 to 2,000 pieces, the number of titanium crystals actually produced was quite a bit higher.

“I didn’t expect to mine 2,420 titanium crystals; it seems we are in luck.”

With a smile appearing on his face as he looked at the tallied number, Shen Wenjie knew that titanium crystals, as strategic-level materials, were well worth the effort—even if only 200 pieces had been mined, not to mention over two thousand.

Song Chao was also excited, but after his excitement, he hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something.

In the communication projection, Shen Wenjie carefully caught this slight irregularity.

“Old Song, just speak your mind, we don’t need to hold back anything between us.”

Song Chao organized his words and then explained meticulously:

“Old Shen, you must also be aware of that person’s identity just now, in your opinion, will Zhu Kang inform Zhu Yaokui about this?”

Hearing that Song Chao was referring to this matter, Shen Wenjie’s expression of joy retracted, and he became serious.

As a real power inspector in Jiangyuan Torch Bureau, how could Shen Wenjie’s sources of information be lacking? He was very clear about Zhu Kang’s identity.

Previously, the joy of harvesting titanium crystals momentarily set aside this issue, but now that Song Chao had brought it up, Shen Wenjie could not help but feel a headache.

Given Zhu Yaokui’s clout in Jiangyuan City, once he started investigating, stripping Shen Wenjie of his inspector captaincy would be a matter of a word.

What, talk about the law of Chenxing Principality? Don’t make me laugh. In this Starry Sea Era where the supernatural prevails and floating lands are distant from each other, in the entire domain of Torch Human Civilization, there is only one universally acknowledged law.

Torch warships of the battleship level and above must not engage in any form of infighting.

Aside from that, unless someone does something highly outrageous, such as using a Torch warship to massacre civilians or over a hundred Torch warships openly engaging in a group battle, no one really enforces the law strictly.

Anxious, Shen Wenjie looked at Song Chao.

“Old Song, do you have a solution? Just say it. You’ve only been in Jiangyuan City for twenty years; there are things you might not quite understand.

Zhu Yaokui has indeed seemed amicable in recent years, but that was after he became the principal of Jiangyuan’s First Torch Academy. My father told me, more than a hundred years ago, he was a ruthless man who didn’t blink at murder.”

As if worrying that Song Chao was not taking it seriously enough, Shen Wenjie continued right after:

“Once he starts investigating us, even if I can convince the bureau chief to plead for us, I’m afraid it won’t help.”

Song Chao nodded, he quite agreed with Shen Wenjie’s view.

In fact, he was not lacking in understanding of Zhu Yaokui. That person is a veteran Torch Ship Captain who has been promoted to Third Rank for over two hundred years. How could he not pay attention to someone who could almost cover the sky with one hand in Jiangyuan City?

It was precisely because of his understanding that he had always been somewhat concerned.

As for the bureau chief that Shen Wenjie mentioned, he was referring to the chief of the Jiangyuan Torch Bureau. Although his status was very high, he was currently only stuck at the peak of the Second Rank. He might have some influence before Zhu Yaokui, but certainly not much.

After considering for a moment, Song Chao expressed his thoughts.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll mention it to my old man. If he steps in, Zhu Yaokui most likely won’t interfere. However, if we do this, we’d have to give up half of this batch of titanium crystals.”

The reason Song Chao was hesitant to speak before was because of this. Bringing in his father meant that a substantial part of the titanium crystals would have to be given up, as high-rank Torch Ship Captains were all short of such resources. No one could resist the temptation of such materials.

Shen Wenjie was somewhat pained at heart. If only he and Song Chao were to split the bounty, he could have at least obtained more than 1,000 pieces for himself. However, after thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and agreed, valuing his life more than the titanium crystals.

Even if Zhu Yaokui wasn’t certain to take action, it was never wrong to take precautions in advance.

“All right, let’s do it that way. You take half to pay the old man, and of the remaining 1,210, you and I will each take 505. The last 200 can be divided equally among the seven little ones!”

A very reasonable distribution plan, Song Chao quickly agreed. The two of them first stored away their share of 505 Titanium Crystals, and the remaining 200 were left for the seven Spectral Airships to divide among themselves.

Repeatedly instructing that no information regarding Titanium Crystals should be revealed, the nine Torch Warships each concealed their tracks and hastened towards White Tower Floating Land.

After entering the White Tower Floating Land, three of the Spectral Airships began to separate from the fleet and head towards other cities in the White Tower Floating Land.

The seven Spectral Airships that accompanied them had Torch Ship Captains whom Song Chao and Shen Wenjie could absolutely trust as their direct descendants. Among the three Airships that had just separated, they were specifically summoned by Song Chao.

If Song Chi were there, he would certainly recognize these three since they were the sons of his eldest and second uncles, all his cousins, who were older than him and had successfully awakened several years before him.

In addition, Shen Qing, who had agreed to explore the ruins together with Shen Wenjie’s younger relatives, was also among them.

…

In Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi stepped out of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room with a strong excitement on his face.

Feeling the power in his body that had once again surged by a great margin, he was somewhat moved by the potent effects of the Advanced Body Tempering Potion combined with the seven hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearls.

The Guidance Technique, which had just broken through a day ago, astonishingly made another breakthrough, and at this moment, the blood qi fluctuations emitting from him, as well as his entire physical fitness, had clearly reached the level of Guidance Technique lv7.

In less than five days, his Guidance Technique soared from the beginning of lv5 straight to lv7—a truly astonishing speed.

Such advancement would have been impossible in under three years through ordinary cultivation.

Song Chi felt his steps were a bit floating, his body experiencing a strong sense of discordance.

After carefully tuning in, he realized that this seemed to be because his physique had undergone too drastic a change in recent days, causing a temporary inability to adapt.

Realizing this, the first thing that came to Song Chi’s mind was relief.

When he had first left seclusion, there was a hint of regret in his heart that he hadn’t consumed the last Advanced Body Tempering Potion neutralized with the nine hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearls.

Due to the limitations of his physique, this potion could only be taken after his Guidance Technique reached lv9 in the future.

Now, it seemed fortunate that he hadn’t used that last dose of the Advanced Body Tempering Potion. Another drastic increase would have certainly caused great damage to his body.

It’s undoubtedly good to cultivate quickly, but if the rate of enhancement exceeds one’s control, it’s not simply described as “fast”; it’s akin to forced growth.

Such advancement could cause irremediable damage to the cultivator’s foundation.

Feeling his current condition, Song Chi abandoned the idea of leaving the Ruins Market and turned back into the All-Attributes Cultivation Room.

This time, he did not continue to cultivate the Guidance Technique but instead kept swinging his body, hoping to quickly adapt to the vastly increased body strength and to mend his slightly damaged foundation.

Half a day later.

The bedroom door was opened from the inside, and Song Chi, who had essentially adapted to his body’s strength, walked out of his room. His eyes lit up; his dad was actually still at home.

However, unlike usual, Song Chao didn’t dare sit on the sofa but stood up straight, creating an impression of being “exceedingly cautious.”
