Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Deep Water Clam Pearls + Advanced Body Tempering Potion

Song Chi immediately leaned in closer.

“Dad, what are you measuring up here?”

Song Chao glanced sideways at his son without answering, quickly returning his attention to the star chart in front of him.

Seeing this, Song Chi turned to look at the kitchen. Noticing that his mother wasn’t paying attention to the living room, he whispered into Song Chao’s ear:

“Dad, is there any specific news about the Titanium Crystal?”

Song Chao looked unchanged, saying lightly, “This matter is not for you to involve yourself with. Focus on preparing for your third drop in the Alien Star Domain.”

Though Song Chao’s tone was mild, Song Chi, who had lived with him for thirty years, knew him all too well. Normally, his dad was very easy-going, but when he got serious, his tone would become even fainter, and the decisions made at such times would not be easily changed.

If he continued to ask about the Titanium Crystal, Song Chao would likely become truly angry. Considering the scene that would ensue from his father’s anger, Song Chi very consciously closed his mouth.

After lunch, he briefly informed his parents that for the next five or six days, he would be concentrating on cultivating the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique, and if he didn’t leave the house during that time, they shouldn’t worry about him.

Song Chao and Chen Lixia nodded without further questions.

The Spectral Energy Guidance Technique, having taken tens of thousands of years for Torch Human Civilization to develop and nearly two hundred thousand years to perfect, actually has effects far beyond imagination.

With Spectral Energy supplementing the consumption of Life Energy, although one couldn’t achieve the level of breatharianism seen in online novels, it was still quite normal not to eat or drink for ten to fifteen days.

However, the rich Blood Qi Energy contained in food could further accelerate the cultivation of the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique, so most people would still eat normally.

Before heading back to his bedroom, Song Chi tentatively asked his father.

“Dad, do we have a way to get an Advanced Body Tempering Potion?”

Originally, it was just an offhand question, perhaps subconsciously harbouring a sliver of hope for the “Dinghai Song Family” previously mentioned by his father, but as soon as the words left his mouth, Song Chi instantly felt he was expecting too much.

If that so-called “Dinghai Song Family” really had significant power, why hadn’t he received any sort of treatment as a “noble descendant” over the past thirty years?

Or did the Dinghai Song Family now only possess a High-Level Contemplation Diagram?

Yet, Song Chao’s next response took Song Chi entirely by surprise.

“Advanced Body Tempering Potion, do you need this?”

“The effects of this level of Body Tempering Potion are strong, but they also demand a high physical quality. Generally, only those with Guidance Techniques Level 10 and above can use it. Are you sure you want to try it now?”

Snapping out of his daze, Song Chi asked again, not quite sure.

“Dad, are you saying we can really get it?”

Song Chao shook his head.

“It’s not about whether we can get it or not. I have some on hand. If you want it, go take it yourself. It’s in the bookshelf on the right side of the study.”

Saying this, he tossed over a set of keys, and to confirm, he asked again.

“Are you sure you can use it? The potency of the Advanced Body Tempering Potion is too domineering. If your physical quality isn’t sufficient, it will not only fail to speed up your cultivation but could also damage your body.”

“I managed to get a few Deep Water Clam Pearls over three hundred years old during this exploration of the Alien Star Domain, so it should be fine,”

Upon hearing Song Chi’s response, Song Chao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said,

“Deep Water Clam Pearls over three hundred years old are quite rare. Although they are a bit young, they should just about suffice. Go and get them.”

“I was planning to let you use them once your cultivation of the Guidance Technique had reached First Rank. Since you have the good fortune to obtain several old Deep Water Clam Pearls, it’s also good to use them early; the more effect the Advanced Body Tempering Potion can exert, the better.”

Song Chi ran excitedly towards the study, and upon using the key his father had provided, he successfully acquired an exquisite potion box from the bookshelf. Inside the box were only three potions, their labels and colors around the edges clearly indicating they were indeed Advanced Body Tempering Potions.

Looking at the three elegant purple tube potions, Song Chi’s eyes grew slightly vacant, and from that moment, he started to regard the phrase “Dinghai Song family” differently.

After hesitating a bit, he ended up taking all three potions.

With five Deep Water Clam Pearls in hand, the two pearls dated seven hundred and nine hundred years respectively were more than enough to mix with a single Advanced Body Tempering Potion each, while he planned to use the remaining three three-hundred-year pearls together to neutralize another Advanced Body Tempering Potion.

Compared to the effect of an Advanced Body Tempering Potion, a single three-hundred-year Deep Water Clam Pearl was clearly incapable of completely neutralizing its potent nature, but together, they would be about right.

Moreover, using them together would not waste the effects of both; it would only greatly prolong the potion’s duration.

“Dad, I took all of them,”

Song Chao nodded lightly, gesturing his agreement, while Chen Lixia on the side, still concerned, admonished him again.

“Son, don’t overdo it. Determine the use yourself, and if your body can’t bear it, stop cultivation immediately,”

“I know, Mom.”

…

Returning to the Ruins Market with three Advanced Body Tempering Potions, Song Chi, in high spirits, entered the All-Attributes Cultivation Room. Once his body was adjusted to perfect condition, he swallowed the Advanced Body Tempering Potion mixed with the powder of the three three-hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearls.

For a moment, Song Chi felt a scorching sensation in his abdomen, followed rapidly by a surge of huge energy, not very gentle, stemming from his stomach and rushing into every part of his body.

Crack crack crack!

Every bone in his body issued a fine popping noise, which sounded alarming, but Song Chi’s actual feeling was quite good, without that unbearable intense pain, instead, a tingling numbness spread throughout his body.

Correspondingly, the speed at which Spectral Energy poured into his body became astonishingly fast. If the cultivation speed was 60 when he took the Intermediate Body Tempering Potion mixed with a single three-hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearl before, now the cultivation speed reached 100.

This speed, although not much higher than before, was bolstered by the potion for a duration of 3 days, which is thrice the time of the previous potion’s effect.

Three days later, when Song Chi awoke from his cultivation, his Level in the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique had risen from lv5 to lv6, and he had also made considerable progress on his way to lv7.

Having tasted the sweet fruit of progress, Song Chi didn’t cease his cultivation; instead, he took out the second Advanced Body Tempering Potion and mixed in the powder of the seven hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearl.

Once it was thoroughly neutralized, he swallowed it in one gulp again.

This potion was several times more terrifying in effect than the previous one. This time Song Chi not only felt tingling across his body but also experienced a strong pain. Fortunately, it was still manageable, and his body could still endure it.

However, Song Chi understood that he couldn’t use the nine hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearl for a while, unless he wanted all the blood vessels in his body to burst and suffer incurable internal injuries.
