“If we had a hundred Craftsmanship talents, the Dwarf Civilization would be overshadowed by us!”

They were thinking so hard their faces turned red, wishing they could spend all their old savings from their treasure chest!

Anyway, Luck is something you can always earn back after spending it!

“But it’s still too expensive.”

“Hey, you guys don’t get it. As long as we develop rapidly, accumulating 1 point a year, we can get one Craftsmanship talent in 10 years; it’s worth it!” The elder of the Tiger Roar Clan said, eyes slightly red, slapping his thigh hard.

Their race leans more towards combat in their Racial Value, not production.

So, of their entire large race, only two craftsmen exist, which is really a severe shortage.

These two students are still taking advanced courses at the craftsman university!

On the other side, their nemesis, the Scorpion Lion Civilization, also had glowing faces, continuously gesturing with their horns. Their Racial Talent was also equally lacking. The absence of craftsmen made their Ideal Technology development very costly. From a long-term perspective, buying some Craftsmanship talent would be profitable.

“Divine Skills may be good, but please, everyone, beware of scams. If this Giant Crystal Turtle runs off after scamming points, we won’t be able to catch it.”

“Ambassador Lu is right… Let’s take another look.”

Lu Yi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself as he touched another light orb.

A vague Mind was transmitted.

Once again, his heart pounded, with waves of shock surging within him.

“Legendary, Epic Level Forging Materials?!”

“Sun Essence Gold, Moonlight Secret Silver, Star Iron… all need to be exchanged with Civilization Points… So expensive!”

“Is this the rich legacy of Ancient Civilizations…”

Legendary and Epic Level materials are indeed very scarce on the Pangu Continent, they are strategic resources.

Especially Epic Level ones, which require ‘Great Luck’ to encounter.

Throughout the Northern Territory, some civilizations might be hiding ‘Epic Level materials’ as their cherished wealth, and they wouldn’t easily trade them.

Yet there were so many here!

“With Epic Level materials, with a bit more effort, we might be able to create immortal items.”

“But trading using Civilization Points is a bit hard to decide… It’s too expensive.”

“Let’s take another look, just another look…” Lu Yi, sweating profusely, touched another light orb.

This time, it wasn’t as alarming.

It was all ordinary minerals, with various Attributes… from Inferior Grade to Superior Level, a wide variety.

The quantity wasn’t marked, seemingly supplied in unlimited amounts?

“But trading ordinary minerals also requires Civilization Points? That’s too much, isn’t it?”

“The unit price is kind of high.”

“Wait, there’s also a purchasing option here, but the minerals purchased are priced with Spirit Essence? Only Legendary Level and above items are priced with ‘Luck’…”

Lu Yi gained a deep understanding of the word “greed” in the Temple of Greed.

Selling earns Civilization Points, buying costs the lower-level Spirit Essence.

And they just put out a high price; you can buy it if you want or not!

“If this relic really had a master, why appear out of nowhere now… were they all sleeping before?”

“But a civilization able to sell Divine Skills must be so powerful, maybe very brutal, killing many civilizations.”

“Should we communicate with the palace’s owner? A bit of haggling might save some cost.”

Lu Yi’s mind raced.

An ambassador has the authority to use some Spirit Essence, but the use of Civilization Points must pass upper council approval.

The human diplomats exchanged glances and communicated telepathically.

The appearance of the Temple of Greed might affect a lot of things.

“Wait, there are Earth Attribute materials here too?! This could solve our urgent needs…”

“Our Central Array is in dire need of Earth Attribute materials, can we buy some? Even if the unit price is higher for lower-level minerals, the total expenditure is still bearable.”

So Lu Yi attempted to ask, “I am the diplomat of the Human 18th Civilization, Lu Yi.”

“I boldly request the owner of the Temple of Greed to negotiate trade matters with our civilization! We have a huge transaction to make?”

Unfortunately, amidst the hopeful gazes of all civilizations, after waiting a long time, there was no response.

People were disappointed: “It seems the palace’s owner doesn’t want to show up.”

“It’s normal not to show up.”

“Foreign Minister Lu, there’s another light ball over here!”

A soldier whispered through the earpiece.

Lu Yi hurried over to take a look.

Inside, there was something called a [Temple] for sale!

The function is… long-distance teleportation?!

Ignoring any spatial distance, two temples can teleport at will, achieving the effect of The world is a village!

“The cost is spending a bit of Spirit Essence…”

Lu Yi immediately realized the strategic significance of [Temple]. If they had this, they wouldn’t need to abandon the Northern Territory in the future; they could just send some personnel to maintain order at the Trading Market.

Even more, if they encountered a major crisis, [Temple] could also serve as an emergency escape tool, transferring the population of Sky City to the Northern Territory!

“I wonder what the cost of this thing is?”

When he wanted to check the price, a line of words popped up from the light orb: [Sold Out]. (Actually, Lu Yuan hasn’t finished setting it up yet.)

“What? Sold… sold out?”

“Is there another Temple of Greed in other parts of the Pangu Continent?”

…

The Temple of Greed caused a small stir, as people never expected the temple on the back of the Giant Crystal Turtle to turn into a trading place.

But the first transaction has yet to commence.

“Could it be that investing ‘Luck’ into the light orb allows for a transaction?”
