Chapter 107

As soon as Xu Zi'an returned to Brilliant Island.

He saw a small unmanned delivery box floating at the entrance.

No need to guess.

This must be his spoils of war.

Opening it, sure enough, it contained a palm-sized Cat Star Stone.

This thing is worth five hundred million.

And don't look at it as only palm-sized.

In reality, because of its properties, just a tiny bit can increase the rigidity of an entire cruiser.

It is absolutely a heavenly treasure.

It's just a pity...

The system does not add wealth value for this item.

But it doesn't matter.

And speaking of this heavenly treasure.

Xu Zi'an suddenly remembered.

On the day he first moved into Brilliant Island.

He seemed to have bought a full 700 points worth of heavenly treasures for tempering his physical body.

He had been busy either acquiring evolution points or busy with starship evolution during this time.

He had actually forgotten about it.

But now that he had enough time, it was just right to try using the heavenly treasures to temper his body!

The physical body was Xu Zi'an's biggest shortcoming.

And after being tempered by heavenly treasures.

When he becomes even stronger in the future.

Perhaps a cannon blast hitting him wouldn't necessarily kill him.

He immediately took the items and returned to the island.

Looking at the Cat Star Stone in his hand, Xu Zi'an felt.

He needed to build a dedicated vault.

He didn't want these good things to be lost or stolen.

It wasn't that he couldn't keep them on the Brilliant.

Even if he wasn't personally on the Brilliant, it would be fine.

A biological starship is called a biological starship.

Because of that mental connection with the biological captain!

And this mental connection is not limited by distance.

For example!

Xu Zi'an is currently on Earth in the Milky Way.

And the Brilliant is left on the accommodation planet.

Suppose the accommodation planet is suddenly attacked at this time.

Then the Brilliant's star-crystal brain would instantly analyze the situation and transmit the situation here to Xu Zi'an.

And Xu Zi'an, far away in the Milky Way, could also receive this transmitted message synchronously and directly control the Brilliant to escape or fight with his mind!

This is also one of the main functions of the red-excellent quality Immortal Thought series star-crystal brain!

It is also the terror unique to biological starships!

Of course, pure mental control is definitely not as good as when the person is personally piloting the starship and controlling it with their mind at the same time.

Combat effectiveness, flexibility, and all other aspects are much worse.

It is basically impossible for anyone to remotely control a starship to fight.

At most, they would only control it to escape or something similar.

But that is enough.

This is the huge difference between biological starships and mechanical starships!

The vault matter.

We'll talk about it later.

Now let's go see those heavenly treasures first!

Heavenly treasures are things like this.

Xu Zi'an would definitely keep them in the storage room inside the villa.

Arriving at the storage room, he found a place to put the Cat Star Stone.

He then took down those heavenly treasures.

Because of the high cost of heavenly treasures.

Even with 700 points, Xu Zi'an had actually only bought two kinds.

One is a plant called [Star-Gazing Flower], and the other is a plant called [Steel-Bone Grass].

Most of these heavenly treasures that strengthen the body and increase biological energy.

Come from plants.

Only a very small number are non-plant items.

The Star-Gazing Flower looks similar to a sunflower.

It likes shade.

Because its vitality is extremely fragile, even in the interstellar era.

This thing is extremely, extremely difficult to cultivate artificially.

Even if artificially cultivated, it is the kind that is very small in quantity and very high in cost.

In fact.

Almost all heavenly treasures.

Are very difficult to cultivate artificially.

After all, if they could be cultivated on a large scale...

Then they wouldn't be heavenly treasures, would they?

They would be things that every household could eat as vegetables.

Steel-Bone Grass looks quite strange.

It is segmented, like bones.

Plus its effect is indeed to strengthen human bone density, hence the name.

It's the same principle as drinking milk to supplement calcium, and supplementing calcium to strengthen bones.

These things...

Nowadays, they can long since be explained by science.

If placed in the ancient Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago, they would probably be considered fairy herbs or something, right?

Hmm, probably.

Since these things were bought, Xu Zi'an hadn't opened them to look.

Of these two heavenly treasures, the Star-Gazing Flower is worth 400 points.

The Steel-Bone Grass is slightly cheaper, worth 300 points.

Both are packed in alloy freshness-keeping boxes.

He excitedly opened one of the boxes.

What met his eyes was a plant that was still fresh, with a flower shape similar to a round sunflower.

Heavenly treasures, although humans cannot cultivate them on a large scale, small-scale artificial cultivation is possible, but the cost is too high.

However, there is no problem at all in how to keep heavenly treasures fresh.

Let's put it this way.

The Star-Gazing Flower in his hand is still in the state it was in when dug out of the soil.

Even though its vitality is extremely fragile, using this kind of alloy freshness-keeping box to ensure its life is frozen at the moment it was dug out is no problem.

In other words!

This Star-Gazing Flower is actually still alive.

It's just that while it's alive, planting it is impossible.

Xu Zi'an thought this, and curiously reached out to take it out of the box.

He wanted to study how to use this thing.

However.

The moment his finger touched the Star-Gazing Flower—

[Heavenly treasure Star-Gazing Flower detected!]

[New system function unlocked!]

[Does the host wish to consume wealth value for cultivation?]

[Does the host wish to consume wealth value for impurity-free accelerated absorption and tempering?]

In his line of sight.

Four lines of text suddenly popped up.

Two of the lines were different options!

One option.

You can choose whether to consume wealth value for cultivation.

Another choice.

Is to consume wealth value to accelerate absorption and body tempering.

And.

It's the impurity-free kind!

Xu Zi'an was stunned for a moment.

The next second.

His heart was filled with immense ecstasy.
