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

As expected.

Lu Yuan remained unfazed. "Quantity, hm...how much would that be?"

Shu Huangfeng gritted his teeth. "Since its sealing effect is better than Eternal Essence Gold, let's price it like Epic Level items..."

"Of course, you might be at a slight disadvantage, but that's the best price we can offer."

"Moreover, we can only trade equipment, knowledge, and materials here; we really don't have much Spirit Essence on hand."

Legendary items are essentially the cap for civilization trade.

Because Legendary materials can sometimes be obtained through mining, like Eternal Essence Gold or Innate Gun Steel, those were from the last Epoch, mined from beneath the earth.

High-level Extraordinary Creatures can also produce a tiny amount.

But Epic and Immortal Level materials can only really be produced by Anomalies, and they're very rare.

To buy and sell this stuff is to sell the information about one's civilization as well, letting everyone know you've captured an Anomaly and have the relevant foundation.

Once the news spreads, it could impact the safety of the civilization.

Besides, the price is really too high. If there's any problem during the trade, the loss would be unbearable.

"Epic Level..."

This price was actually quite honest. Lu Yuan nodded. "Then draw up a list for me so I can report back. Also, how much Sealing Resin for a craftsman? Name your price!"

The Ratmen stared at him, rooted to the spot.

So you have some on you too!!

...

The negotiation this time ended without any surprises. Lu Yuan got an inventory list from the Ratmen, detailing the various materials and equipment prices they were prepared to sell to the Rize Civilization.

[Ice Jade Marrow Jade Pendant, wearing it increases spiritual power recovery by 5-9%, valued at 0.26 Spirit Essence. (Inferior Grade)]

Just a jade pendant, after all, using less material, so naturally very cheap.

[Craftsman Master's Ice Jade Marrow Jade Pendant, wearing it increases spiritual power recovery by 5-9%, physical ability recovery speed boosts 8-13%, study concentration improvement 5%-18%, valued at 3.9 Spirit Essence (General Level +++)]

"This item, isn't it crafted by me?" Lu Yuan's expression changed.

Well, most of the equipment was indeed crafted by humans, first sold to the Ratmen, now being resold to the Rize people.

Really didn't know what to say about that.

But do the Rize Civilization need it?

Absolutely!

According to Pangu Continent's unwritten rules, a civilization needs strong figures to make a statement, and equipment is crucial!

A piece of Superior equipment could turn the tide in battle!

And equipment that aids in Cultivation is even more in demand!

Equipment painstakingly crafted by humans were being dumped to the Rize people...

Lu Yuan felt conflicted, deeply sighing over his own civilization's lack of depth.

However, the prices were fair, with maybe an 8-10% markup. With this equipment, the development speed could jump up a Level.

"Sigh, with these things, the Rize people have also strengthened a lot."

"What about the humans...what should be done?"

The human mother civilization had no such trading opportunities.

Lu Yuan shook his head lightly and ultimately could only conclude that each had their own Luck, each had their own opportunities.

"Each to their own, each sweeping the snow before their doorstep..."

...

And so, Lu Yuan quickly convened a Dream meeting, providing the list and the Shu Mi Dam Civilization's quotation.

The Rize people were overjoyed when they saw it!

They naturally had no reason to refuse; selling the Sealing Resin at a high price was a huge bargain, like getting a pie from the sky!

However, they didn't actually have much Sealing Resin, only owned by the Seventh Branch.

The other parts of the [Ghosts] were still retained in the Different Space of the airship, impossible to take out.

And so they fiercely discussed, hoping the Seventh Branch would slightly concede some benefits... This batch of materials was nearly worth 1000 Spirit Essences, the temptation was too great, they were even willing to sell some sovereignty, after all, after the Safe Zone was set up, they should still unite.

But how these cities were going to split this giant cake was not something Lu Yuan needed to worry about.

He coughed and said solemnly, "Friends, Sealing Resin is very valuable but also very dangerous. After all, it's involved with the strongest natural disaster on the Pangu Continent."

"Please be cautious, now that times are tough, selling it once is fine, but after the Safe Zone is lifted, don't recklessly sell anymore..."

"Weak civilizations can't comprehend its value, and strong ones inevitably grow covetous."

His words were sincere.

And they gradually calmed the feverish Rize people.

"There's also... the Ghost's skull, I can take care of it for you, but you need to think it through, the Ghost really is quite valuable."

"That includes the Resin sealing the skull, now you also know the price of the Resin."

"Whether to keep it or deal with it earlier is up to you."

Lu Yuan had always been an upfront person, clear accounts keeping good relations, speaking directly so as not to affect the friendship.

The Rize people discussed among themselves.

The answer was simple, leave it to Lu Yuan for handling.

If there was a need for "Sealing Resin," then the resin from the four limbs plus the body was plenty enough.

Why greedily pursue that dangerous skull?

Governor Moses of the First Branch of the Rize said, "We have a small request... if the skull really tries to break free from the Sealing, you must notify us before disposing of it."

"Because it will surely come back to look for its limbs."

"An early warning would give us time to react."

He sighed, "There should still be some time before it breaks free from the Sealing, preferably throw it far, the farther the better."

His words seemed a bit offensive, but there was a subtext — all those precious Sealing Resins are yours, even that alien spaceship!

As long as this ticking time bomb could be dealt with, they didn't care about a little less wealth.

Lu Yuan sighed too, he was also a little hesitant, he wasn't alone now, behind him was a bona fide Human Civilization.

Picking up harmful trash and then having an accident would lead to much regret.

But to not pick up such good trash truly defied the principles of the Greedy Demon God.

"Pick it up, Old Lu, with a Sky Pit you could seal it for a few years, and in the outside world, it's a few hundred years. If it's not enough, just throw it away in some corner. The harmful waste from the previous Epochs can't blame us for a lack of moral fiber." Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

That damn Old Cat kept egging him on in his ear.

"Remember how bold you used to be, even daring to solo a Demon."

"Now your strength has increased, but your courage has shrunk to that of a mouse... This hurts your comrades' feelings."

Old Cat writhed crazily, somewhat lewdly.

"Conch, what do you think?"

"I have no objections..." Conch's meaning was, whatever you decide, Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan sighed, then suddenly rallied his spirits, making up his mind, "Pick it up, pick it up! I've got some 'Steel,' if it comes to it, I can simply use Fusion and suppress the Ghost back into it."

But on the surface, he showed no emotion, "Sure, I'll take the spaceship away with Sky City."

Hearing Lu Yuan agree to the request, the lizard people all breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Also, Mr. Lu, if you have some time one day, could you come to our city to help out, and remove the sealed limbs from inside."

"We can't even enter those vessels' Different Space, might as well take them out."

That was just a minor matter.

Lu Yuan nodded, "Sure, when it's time for the technology trade, I'll come in."

"But the Shu Mi Dam Civilization will be leaving soon, we have to trade with them first, it might take a year or two, is that okay?"

"No problem, a year or two on your side isn't a very long time for us!"
