I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

In summary, after the dream-conference ended, Lu Yuan soon arrived at the Safe Zone of the Seventh Branch of the Rize Civilization.

The lizard people naturally greeted him warmly. Patrolling soldiers' eyes lit up as they waved their hands, "Oh, Mr. Lu, you're here to transport weapons again!"

"We've prepared everything for you, it's right over there!"

He pointed toward the weapons warehouse.

Lu Yuan felt a bit embarrassed, "Haha, not this time, really not necessary! Where's your Governor? I've contacted him."

"He's still in the car, he'll be here soon!"

Lu Yuan first visited his comrades-in-arms, something he had wanted to do for a while but just hadn't had the time.

Half a year had passed, and more than half of his comrades had awakened, although they still weren't in good shape, their minds foggy and dazed.

Tado and others were still lying in their hospital beds, their bodies covered with eyes. Seeing Lu Yuan's arrival, they struggled to stand.

"You're back?" Tado asked with a smile, "I can control myself now and even run and jump for a while."

"It's good to have progress, take your time... rest well."

Seeing them still alive, Lu Yuan sighed deeply. Living really wasn't easy.

There wasn't any particularly good solution.

He once again gifted them a Soul Baby Fruit and a bottle of medicine that could restore spiritual power—this medicine was still bought from the rat people.

"I thank you on their behalf! Such precious items, and you've given them several times now," Governor Leon gave a gesture of gratitude unique to his civilization.

"I'm just doing my part," Lu Yuan said, "However, this group of people also has the chance for a blessing in disguise. The Monster's power lingers in them, enhancing their souls."

"If they can regain consciousness and recover their health, their souls will be stronger than those of normal people."

"Rest assured! We will take good care of them," Leon hastily promised.

A powerful soul means a higher Level of Divine Attribute.

The Rize people now naturally understand its value.

After that, there wasn't much more small talk. Lu Yuan, after all, had a civilization to worry about and couldn't stay here leisurely for another night.

After briefly discussing some trade proposals, Leon carefully took out a small box from a safe, which contained two pieces of Sealing Resin.

The smaller one was the size of a soybean, while the larger one was almost as big as a quail egg.

Lu Yuan safely put away the box.

He handed over a branch of the Opium Tree from his package to him.

"This branch has a small amount of Dream power, which can better convene a dream-conference. I will give one to each city later to facilitate future communication."

"As soon as the bell on it rings, everyone will be able to connect."

"Just stick this branch in the soil, and don't bother cultivating it too much." Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire

If the Demon·Opium Tree were really so easy to cultivate, the Green Grass Civilization would have figured out how to grow thousands long ago.

In fact, even the highly vigorous Tree of Life, once its branches and leaves are separated from the main body, no longer can propagate through cuttings.

After saying these things, Lu Yuan bowed slightly to them and left the Safe Zone in the blink of an eye.

"He's already so powerful, yet he's still constantly on the move..." Leon mused with a sigh.

"We... need to start taking action as well."

...

...

After returning to Pangu Continent, Lu Yuan quickly took the small box to the base of the Shu Mi Dam Civilization.

Hordes of black rat people were still mining coal. They could survive just on eating coal, which made them easy to sustain.

"Mr. Shu Huangfeng, I have an item here and I don't know what it is. Could you appraise it for me?"

The noble rat people on the turtle's back had not been in a very good mood recently, due to the 31 craftsmen who wanted to flee.

Some rat people believed that Shu Mi Dam Civilization was indeed a thing of the past. When culture is gone and heritage is broken, it's normal to scatter.

"If we gather again at the End of the Epoch, won't that be the end of it?"

But there were also those among the rat people who wanted to restore their former glory. So what if they're currently listless? In the future, they can go to other civilizations, capture a bunch of indigenous humans, and wouldn't that bring vitality?

This idea made Lu Yuan's heart race. Just don't capture humans, and I won't bother with the rest.

However, these damned creatures seemed to have only encountered humans.

"Cough cough, silence! What is this behavior!" Shu Huangfeng bellowed, "Let's first see the treasure brought by Commander Lu!"

He opened the exquisite box and saw two greenish things, squeezed them, and they were a bit hard, like Turquoise Stone.

After heating, they became soft, like candle wax.

He sniffed it, and there was an indescribable strange smell.

"Hmm?"

"My king, I can't identify what this is."

Shu Huangfeng looked at Lu Yuan puzzledly. What is this thing, are you kidding me?

"Uninformed as I am, I still need Commander Lu to enlighten me."

"This is called Sealing Resin. I killed a Monster once, and to a certain extent, it helped a great deal."

"It can isolate almost all Superpowers, well, pretty much all, naturally including Identification ability..."

"Oh?!"

Lu Yuan then said, "The Sealing Resin comes from the Rize Civilization... We have a little space ability here that can extract materials from the Safe Zone."

"The Rize people let the Mouse King help with the valuation, and if the price is right, they'll sell it to you."

"Blocking superpowers... Civilizations within the Safe Zone actually have such things." Shu Huangfeng waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to bring over a box filled with all kinds of materials.

From Inferior Grade Black Iron to Legendary "Eternal Essence Gold"!

Then he took out a small mirror, called the Divine Mirror, Legendary equipment with a powerful spiritual attack, a mere glance could render people unconscious.

"Would Commander Lu be willing to let us try it, we have a complete method of estimation."

The Shu Mi Dam Civilization had broad knowledge.

The things they had never seen before were usually... not anything remarkable.

But out of respect for Lu Yuan's face, they still had to play along with the act.

"Of course, no problem."

Lu Yuan took a piece of the Sealing Resin and spread a thin layer on the glass.

Then he caught a small ant and placed it inside the glass box.

Shu Huangfeng, holding the mirror, gave a light flash: "This output power, Black Iron Material can withstand. Anything below Black Iron has no trade value."

The ant showed no reaction.

"Oh? It actually works."

Lu Yuan smirked, what did they mean by "actually"?

"The next power level requires Purple Gold Sand Level (Rare Level)."

The other ratmen, obviously surprised, exclaimed, "Oh?! It really seems to work... This thing is not bad if there's a good amount, it might actually have some value."

"There won't be too much." Lu Yuan hastened to add, "They're very precious."

"The next power level requires Refined gold Level, you should stand back a bit to avoid being affected. (Superior Level)"

The mirror released a bright light.

But the ant continued to scurry around.

What was happening? The ratmen suddenly began to sweat.

"At the highest power level, not even Eternal Essence Gold can resist."

"Just shine it directly, it's just an ant anyway, there's no harm if it dies."

Lu Yuan had his doubts—these were things capable of sealing a "Ghost"; what's a mere Legendary Mirror worth in comparison?

Shu Huangfeng took a moment to build up his energy, and then with a roar, burst into a red glow. With the input of Spark Energy, the mirror emitted a strong red light!

However... the ant within the glass enclosure was still scurrying around.

"What is this stuff?" The ratmen were suddenly abuzz. A material better than Eternal Essence Gold could be Epic Level, even Immortal Level, right?

They began whispering to each other in discussion.

Some even began to consult their archives, and even for an ancient civilization like theirs, such a strange substance was unheard of.

Then, one of the Yellow-clothed rat people wearing glasses on his nose seemed to have an idea, expressing a shocked expression and whispered something in Shu Huangfeng's ear.

"Ah? What??!" Shu Huangfeng collapsed onto the ground.

A voice echoed in Lu Yuan's heart: "Commander Lu, you must secure this thing quickly!"

This was the ability of telepathy.

Lu Yuan turned his head to look at the old scholar mouse man.

"This is the blood of a 'Steel' Ability user, secure it quickly, don't bring it out!"

Lu Yuan immediately rolled up the bit of resin on the glass into a ball, threw it into the small box, snapped it shut with a "click", and stuffed it into his pocket.

Only then did everyone recover from their state of shock.

After all, they were nobles and had some composure.

"You recognize this thing?" he asked.

"I've only heard about it by chance... and then deduced it." The bespectacled old school inspector, possibly possessing a Divine Skill regarding memory, retained the most memories among the ratmen.

He explained through telepathy: "Legends say the 'Steel' Ability users are extremely rare, almost extinct. Especially in later Epochs, they are less and less likely to appear."

"Their blood has the effect of blocking superpowers and is the best sealing material."

"So I suspect, this item is made from the blood of 'Steel' Ability users mixed with some special substances... These special substances make it look unlike a blood product, a clever disguise."

The old school inspector sighed lightly: "This Sealing Resin... it's extremely high quality, but possessing it makes an entire civilization prone to Anomalies."

"Especially the 'Ghost' level anomalies, which seem to see 'Steel' Ability users as arch-enemies, they might attack if they sense it."

"It sounds a bit superstitious, but I indeed heard about this from some minor sources... True or false, it's difficult to determine, yet one cannot be too cautious."

Among the Four Great Calamities, "Demons" are the easiest to deal with.

The other three each have their difficulties.

The most terrifying is the "Ghost," which is a complete overwhelming force.

If you encounter one, there is no hope for victory.

The blood of 'Steel' Ability users can contend with 'Ghost,' so naturally, 'Ghost' has a tendency to hunt them.

Lu Yuan's expression changed subtly. The Shu Mi Dam Civilization was quite formidable; he believed this tidbit of information.
