Lu Ning nodded: "Yeah, it should work."
Having just regained his composure, Yann took a deep breath and looked at Lu Ning with eyes full of surprise.
He trusted Lu Ning the most.
After all, the two have known each other for so long, and Lu Ning has accomplished all sorts of things that others would consider miraculous.
The other exiled demigods also took a deep breath.
Then, the cat-human demigod spoke up: "How many Pale Crystals does my race need to exchange for a divine artifact?"
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Three hundred billion per piece."
Previously, Lu Ning had heard them say that it would cost three trillion to materialize a divine artifact, but the price Lu Ning offered was only one percent of their original price.
Of course, it's still much more expensive than Lu Ning's own materialized artifact.
He only spent a little over a million to manifest Yan Bing's divine artifact, which is equivalent to two hundred times that amount.
If any exiled race is willing to materialize one artifact, humanity will effectively have two hundred more artifacts.
Of course, all these magical artifacts are actually not very useful.
Humanity only has a handful of guardians, and even if each person had one, we still wouldn't need nearly that many.
However, these pale crystals can be used to materialize liquid spiritual energy.
This liquid spiritual energy is pure spiritual energy, without any contamination, which is enough to greatly increase the speed at which awakened individuals refine their spiritual energy.
Moreover, because there is no mental pollution, there is no need to worry about the tempering process being too fast and causing illness.
The number of awakened and powerful individuals among humanity will also surge in a short period of time.
As things stand, the cracks in the barrier will only increase, and those ubiquitous phantoms could appear at any time.
Humanity's time is running out.
They need to improve their strength in the shortest amount of time.
These liquid spiritual energies are the most crucial resource.
Besides liquid spiritual energy, there are also disposable dangerous items, various medium-risk, high-risk, and even extremely dangerous soul artifacts that can be materialized.
It can even manifest more powerful weapons that utilize soul crystals, similar to the Soul Crystal Cannon.
Lu Ning needs to use these pale crystals to build a large army.
Every single person in the army will be a guardian of human civilization.
They will fight for the survival of humanity.
The price offered by Lu Ning caused the exiled demigods to frown slightly, unsure whether they were happy or dissatisfied.
This price is practically a steal compared to the pale crystals it would normally consume.
However, compared to the price of the artifact that Lu Ning himself manifested, it was extremely high.
The cat-man demigod hesitated for a moment before asking, "Could the price be lowered a bit?"
Before Lu Ning could speak, Yan Bing calmly said, "You can choose not to materialize it."
The cat-human demigod immediately gave an awkward laugh.
Just kidding, there are quite a few races that can produce billions of Pale Crystals. If they don't manifest, there are plenty of other races that will.
Lu Ning then said, "Next, we will explore the Ruins of Return and attract more Mist Monsters into the Ruins of Return. This will increase everyone's efficiency in obtaining Pale Crystals. A hundred billion Pale Crystals will not be difficult for you to obtain."
Upon hearing this, the other exiled demigods stopped thinking about it.
As Lu Ning said, once the Ruins of Return expand and the number of monsters increases, the efficiency of obtaining Pale Crystals will indeed increase significantly.
"We manifest one thing!"
"Lord Lu Ning, we'd like one too!"
"We'll take two!"
"..."
One by one, the exiled demigods spoke up, asking Lu Ning to help them materialize divine artifacts.
Even the top exiled civilizations that already possessed divine artifacts were no exception.
The largest order came from the Void Zerg Queen, who directly ordered five items from Lu Ning.
Those relatively weaker exile groups, who couldn't even afford billions of Pale Crystals, could only watch this scene with envy.
However, these exiled demigods did not pour all the pale crystals into the artifact's manifestation.
After all, no one wants to use a divine artifact unless absolutely necessary.
Using the artifact once is equivalent to losing a demigod.
Few civilizations can afford such a price.
Having a divine artifact and not having one are two different levels, but the difference in the number of divine artifacts is not actually that significant in terms of strength.
Even a race that possesses multiple artifacts cannot use multiple artifacts simultaneously.
Otherwise, once it's used up, all the demigods in the clan will be dead.
At that point, not only will it be a question of whether the divine artifact can be preserved, but even the survival of one's own race is uncertain.
Besides the manifestation of the divine artifacts, the group of exiled demigods also traded with Lu Ning for various items, including soul artifacts, spiritual liquids, and dangerous goods.
However, Lu Ning did have a limit on the number of transactions in these areas.
It wasn't that Lu Ning was wary of them; it was mainly because materialization takes time, and Lu Ning himself needed to temper his mental power, so he couldn't possibly waste all his time on materializing items.
The demigods of the exiled civilization were understanding and had no objections.
When the transaction was over, the exiled demigods looked at Lu Ning and his companions with great enthusiasm.
If they were to materialize the transaction amount themselves, they might not even be able to materialize one percent of the original items.
You could say it was a huge profit!
"Lord Lu Ning, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes, Your Excellency Lu Ning, I'll leave the rest to you."
"From now on, Lord Lu Ning will be our best friend. If you encounter any trouble in the Exile City-State, please feel free to come to us!"
