A Gathering of Heroes

The cost of a starship ran into the tens of millions of spirit stones. They were priceless commodities, and even with tens of millions of spirit stones, one might not be able to acquire a starship promptly. A starship could accelerate the development of a faction and was also a mark by which a faction's strength was measured.

"Countless savage demon beasts lived in the starry sky. We were fairly fortunate—the Fire Qilin only became scrap after landing on a cultivation planet, and there were not many casualties. I heard that while a starship of the Seven Immortals Merchant Alliance was traveling through space, it encountered two seventh-rank Void Rending Beasts. Not only was the entire starship destroyed, but the accompanying cultivators died tragically, and a great deal of cargo was lost."

By the end, Song Yueyao's expression had turned grave.

"Great-aunt Seven, could that starship have been attacked by seventh-rank Void Rending Beasts near Mysterious Sun Planet?"

Song Yufeng asked curiously. If so, the starship's cargo might very well have been scattered across Mysterious Sun Planet.

"That is what the rumors say, but we do not know the specifics. The Seven Immortals Merchant Alliance's goods are not easy to take—they are a hot potato. Our greatest objective on this trip is Mysterious Sun Divine Crystal. I just wonder whether there will be any Stellar Sand. With that item, we can try refining another starship."

Song Yueyao's face revealed a yearning look. Thinking of something, she continued, "When you interact with the local cultivators of Mysterious Sun Planet, you might as well ask around. Find out whether any meteors or treasures have fallen from the sky, or whether there are any particularly unusual treasures or exotic beasts."

"Yes, Great-aunt Seven."

Song Yumei and Song Yufeng readily agreed.
