National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 655: The Identity of the Old Friend and the [Double-Ming Divine Bird]

Silver Plate Floating Land, Public Open Area, Silver Plate City.

Silver Plate Xinhuo Hotel, top floor.

"I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. I didn't expect that you would not only be promoted to the Fearless Captain, but also have an aura close to reaching the peak of the sixth rank. Congratulations..."

In the private room, the woman had a bright smile on her face, and there was no hint of alienation in her tone. Instead, it sounded more like old friends reuniting after a long separation.

Opposite the woman, Song Chi, who had transformed into his original form, nodded slightly and didn't care about it.

"There's nothing to congratulate. In front of a Star Destroyer Captain like you, the sixth-order guidance technique is nothing..."

The moment the two men's true bodies met, Song Chi had already sensed the other party's strength.

Although the other party's aura is very restrained, don't forget that he has double pupils.

What's more crucial is that the seventh-level psionic energy in this woman's body is extraordinary, at least not comparable to the ancestor Song Wujiang, a new star destroyer captain who has just entered the seventh level for less than a thousand years. Song Chi even guessed that the other party might be an extreme star destroyer captain.

After some communication, the smile on the woman's face suddenly disappeared and her voice turned serious.

"That time hundreds of years ago doesn't count. Today I'd like to formally introduce myself as the vice president of the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce. Just call me Yunniang."

Opposite him, Song Chi looked normal, still with a faint smile on his face.

'Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce...'

'Intelligent brain, retrieve relevant information about the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce...'

As his thoughts turned, a reply soon came from the mini Tianxu Cangqiong deep between his eyebrows.

[Received instructions, searching database...]

[Data search completed, the relevant information of Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce is as follows...]

[The mysterious Chamber of Commerce was founded in the Divine Xia Dynasty more than 200,000 years ago. Its caravans and shops are spread all over the Xinhuo human river community...]

"Is that all?"

Seeing that it was just basic information, Song Chi did not continue to pay attention to the news. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to speak:

"Song Chi of the Longji Song Clan, greetings to President Yun!"

Although the other party's words were casual, Song Chi didn't think it was appropriate to call the other party by his real name since they had only met twice.

Hmm... maybe this isn't necessarily the other person's real name.

"I was saying that with the extraordinaryness you have shown, no matter how hard you try to hide it, you can't be unknown. It turns out that you are one of the two super geniuses of the Longji Song family who have become famous recently..."

Nearly half an hour had passed before they knew it as they were flattering each other.

Although they were just polite words, it was undeniable that after this conversation, the relationship between the two became much closer. I believe that after today, this familiar relationship will continue over time.

……

It was still the same manor, a large underground battleship summoning room.

Thanks to Song Chi's efforts, the new batch of Abyss Source Crystals provided by Yunniang were used by [Tianming Sinan Pan] to separate the different energies one by one.

In the battleship's main control room, Song Chi's eyes looked slightly strange.

He looked at the chaotic power in his hand that exuded a violent aura, and the shadow of his double pupils appeared in his eyes.

This chaotic force is exactly the alien energy he extracted from a new batch of Abyss Source Crystals.

If I am not mistaken, this chaotic force is completely different from the fire energy extracted last time. It definitely does not come from the Flame Demon.

In this case, the matter is worth pondering.

As we all know, the Abyss is divided into many layers, and each layer is equivalent to an independent floating land in the starry sea.

In these different layers of the abyss, there are basically strict divisions of the abyss demons. It is basically unlikely that dominant-level demons of different races will appear on the same layer.

Thinking of this, Song Chi quickly came up with two speculations.

Either the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce behind Yunniang has its own bases and cities in multiple layers of the abyss, or the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce’s base in the bottomless abyss is located in the abyss layer where a melee is taking place. No matter which one it is, it is enough to prove the amazing power of the "Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce".

……

Shaking his head, Song Chi walked out of the warship without thinking any more.

Come to think of it, it does make sense. Although the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce is mysterious and few people know its true strength, it is an ancient chamber of commerce that was established more than 200,000 years ago. How could its foundation be simple?
"Thank you. This batch of Abyssal Origin Crystals is very important to me..."

Taking the pure [Abyss Source Crystal] handed over by Song Chi, the woman showed an unconcealable joy on her face.

Song Chi chuckled and nodded, accepting the other party's thanks.

The relationship between the two has not yet reached the point where one helps the other for free without asking for anything in return.

After putting away the Abyss Source Crystal, the woman took the initiative to talk about the reward.

Without any embarrassment or excuse, Song Chi directly said what he wanted.

"Time fragments? These things are quite rare, and I don't have many of them."

"Not too much, 3 pieces is enough. Of course...if possible, the more the better!"

Seeing Song Chi's urgent need for resources like time fragments, he did not say much, but nodded and said:
"I will try to transfer it from surrounding branches. It will probably take about two or three months."

"It's okay if it takes a little longer. Thank you, President Yun!"

After saying that, Song Chi was about to take his leave, but in the end Yunniang said something that made him feel a little confused.

"In addition to the time fragments, Yunniang will also have a small surprise for you later. Captain Song can look forward to it!"

Song Chi:? ? ?
This ray of doubt did not last long, and a strange feeling came again from the Tianxu Cangqiong, which Mei Xin had just recalled.

The abyss devil, who had always made him feel at ease, suddenly became a little restless for some reason.

'You mean, there is something about the other person that attracts you?'

Hearing the voice of the Abyss Devil coming from his mind, Song Chi felt a little strange, and then he came back in an instant.

Vice President Yun is a veteran star destroyer captain, and he is suspected to have a lot of rare resources from the bottomless abyss. It is not surprising that some of them are capable of attracting abyss devils.

As for planning to attack the other party?
This thought only appeared in his mind for a moment before he quickly dispelled it. Just kidding, not to mention the other party's identity and background, the strength of the suspected Extreme Star Destroyer Captain is definitely not someone who can be easily provoked.

'but…'

Thoughts raced through his mind, and before parting with Yunniang, Song Chi took the initiative to speak.

"and many more……"

"Why, Captain Song Chi, is there anything else?"

The woman's plump figure paused and she looked at Song Chi in confusion.

"It's like this. I have a sixth-level peak abyss devil under my command..."

Song Chi told the story as quickly as possible. His words expressed only one meaning, which was to ask the other party whether there was any way to help the Abyss Devil reach the level of domination.

The Abyss Demon itself is the dominant race of the Bottomless Abyss. It has amazing bloodline talent and is even better at controlling the mind.

If it can be cultivated to the seventh level, the role it can play in the future will obviously be greater.

You know, the Abyss Devil Clan has always been a representative creature that one person is one army. "Of course, I will never let President Yun go to waste his trouble. As a reward, I can take out a sixth-level [Time Realm Fruit]!"

Instead of answering directly, the woman asked another question.

"The Abyss Devil is a dominant species of a hegemonic civilization, and is extremely good at manipulating people's minds. Let it advance to the seventh level first. Aren't you afraid of its backlash?"

"President Yun, rest assured. I know this very well. Since you dare to let it advance, I have the means to control it!"

Song Chi answered quickly and confidently.

He did not forget that the [Ring of Heavenly Power Control] could theoretically enslave an eighth-level master. No matter how good the Abyss Devil was at bewitching people, it would be impossible for him to break free from the enslavement of the [Ring of Heavenly Power Control] with a seventh-level body.

Yunniang agreed, and before leaving she took the sixth-level abyss devil away.

Song Chi didn't know the real reason why the other party agreed. Perhaps she was really moved by the Sixth-Rank [Time Realm Fruit]. Although she couldn't use it herself, the value of the Sixth-Rank [Time Realm Fruit] was there. It would be great to use it to train trusted subordinates or future generations.

However, it is possible that he has other intentions, but Song Chi doesn't care about it.

Regardless of whether the other party has ulterior motives or not, he only knows one thing, that is, when the Star Destroyer is upgraded in the near future, he will not be afraid of any monsters by then.

For the next three months, Song Chi wandered around this silver disk floating land. Although he did not find any new neutron star debris, he unexpectedly captured a good secondary gun.

A golden-quality [Soul-shaking Demonic Sound Cannon].

Soul-shaking magic sound cannon lv0
Quality: gold

Features: Power increased by 140%
Feature 2: True Armor Break

Feature 3: Increase the range of naval guns by 140%
Feature 4: Increase the firing rate of naval guns by 20%
Trait 5: Soul-shaking Magic Sound

……

This secondary gun is somewhat special. It does not fire physical bullets or kinetic beams, but strange musical notes.

Although the power of these notes is limited, each one has the property of corroding the soul. It can confuse, erode, and tear apart the enemy's soul, making it a very useful type of secondary artillery.

The power of secondary guns is limited, and the Xinhuo battleship has never relied on secondary guns to attack. In comparison, secondary guns that can derive various special negative states are the real top-grade secondary guns.

After purchasing this [Soul-shaking Demonic Sound Cannon], Song Chi directly strengthened it to level 70, which could be regarded as a way to increase combat power for his upcoming trip to the Demonic Snake Continent.

Three months later, at a manor outside Yinpan City.

Song Chi successfully obtained nearly thirty time fragments from Yunniang. It was not a lot, but it was commendable to be able to mobilize such a large number within three months. This also further demonstrated the impressive power of the "Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce" behind the other party.

"Thank you..."

Even though this was just the reward he deserved, Song Chi still took the initiative to express his gratitude.

Time fragments have always been a scarce resource. Since the other party is willing to pay so much at one time, we should naturally be grateful.

"Captain Song, don't be impatient..."

In the reception room of the manor, Yunniang clapped her hands lightly, and the next moment the door of the reception room opened, and a shadow rushed in from outside.

The phantom energy in his body was rapidly mobilized, and Song Chi's muscles tensed up.

It is not difficult to see that once the situation is unusual, he will definitely react at the first time.

"This is……"

But when he saw clearly who had entered the reception room, his eyes suddenly fixed.

The person who came in was not a person with malicious intentions, but a familiar spirit bird.

"The Chongming Divine Bird!"

He spoke word by word, revealing the identity of the visitor.

What rushed into the reception room was a Chongming divine bird.

His body relaxed again, and Song Chi felt happy instinctively.

Obviously, this was the surprise that Yunniang had mentioned three months ago.

With a slight wave of his hand, a shadow also rushed out from his forehead, and Chongyu was summoned out by him.

Being summoned suddenly, Chongyu was stunned at first, and then quickly attracted by another of its kind. The two Chongming divine birds soon stuck together, flew out of the reception room, flew out of the manor under Yunniang's name, and rushed onto the sky of the Silver Plate Floating Land.

Then the sound of birds singing continued to echo.

Neither of them tried to stop him. Chongyu had already reached the peak of level six, and the female Chongming bird of the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce also had level six strength. The possibility of an accident was still very small.

Staring at the woman opposite, Song Chi said softly:

"So, as early as the first time, you could tell that I had double pupils?"

Yunniang nodded, there was nothing to hide.

As the two chatted, the topic soon turned to the two Chongming divine birds.

"In this way, we can let the two little guys get along freely. If they really give birth to offspring in the future, can we each raise them separately?"

"can!"

Song Chi didn't think much about it and agreed directly. This was a win-win situation for both parties.

Then he asked tentatively:

"President Yun, I wonder where this Chongming Divine Bird of yours came from, or... do you know where there are other Chongming Divine Birds?"

As if she understood something, Yunniang's beautiful eyes lit up.

"From what you said, could it be that there are multiple Chongming divine birds in the Longji Song family?"

After getting Song Chi's confirmation, Yunniang quickly explained.

It turned out that the Chongming divine bird under her command came from a high-level secret realm of the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce, and there were other Chongming divine birds in that secret realm.

So, the two of them discussed it and soon reached an agreement on the matter. Later, Yunniang would take the initiative to act as a matchmaker, and Song Chi would also bring Chongying and Chongguang under the command of the ancestor and eldest brother, and let several Chongming divine birds try to live together to see if they could breed more offspring.

If this matter can really succeed, it is not difficult to imagine that both parties will benefit greatly from it.

After all, the magical power of the Chongming Divine Bird, [Chongming Blood Covenant], is extremely effective. If more Chongming Divine Birds can be cultivated, both parties will benefit immensely.

……

Dragon Ridge Continent, Song Family Ancestral Temple.

After reaching an agreement with Yunniang, Song Chi immediately returned to Longji Continent through the market and discussed the matter with his family in person.

After hearing about the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce and the Chongming Divine Bird, all the core members of the family agreed unanimously.

However, Song Shiyuan raised a point in the middle.

The three Chongming divine birds need to be divided into two, with each family responsible for one.

This is the safest way.

If they are all being cultivated in the Silver Plate River System, it would be fine for the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce to keep its promise. But if they go back on their word halfway, wouldn't they be able to take away the heavy feathers, heavy light, and heavy shadows at any time?
Chongyu and the other two have already signed the [Chongming Blood Contract]?
Is this important? As long as the three are turned into breeding birds, the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce will be able to continue to cultivate new [Double-Ming Divine Birds] in the future without having to share them equally with the Song family.

It has to be said that this possibility does exist, although the probability is extremely small. With the reputation and heritage of the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce that has been around for more than 200,000 years, it would not do such a thing.
