However, before Shi Feng could enter the towering hall, the NPC guards guarding the entrance blocked his path.
"Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter the Seven Luminaries Temple!" Two mechanical puppets brandished their greatswords, blocking Shifeng from entering the temple.
If players saw these two mechanical puppets, they'd be shocked.
These two mechanical puppets were Level 200 Mythic monsters. Even in a kingdom, they'd be important figures. Moreover, unlike ordinary puppets, these two mechanical puppets were Magic Puppets. Not only did they possess high intellect, but they also possessed a Domain. In other words, they were Tier 4 Mythic monsters with a Domain.
Even Tier 4 NPCs with a Domain were no match for these Magic Puppets.
Moreover, these two Magic Puppets were only the Seven Luminaries Temple's main gate. There were even more powerful guardians inside the temple. As far as Shifeng knew, even Tier 6 God-ranked players wouldn't dare cause trouble inside the Seven Luminaries Temple. Otherwise, they'd still be killed.
Throughout God's Domain, Primordial City was one of the safest cities in God's Domain. Neither players nor monsters dared to cause trouble here. If they did, they would be slapped to death.
Shifeng didn't find the two Magic Puppets' obstruction strange.
The Seven Luminaries Temple was one of Primordial City's core buildings. It was also where players could exchange Contribution Points. Only Primordial City's adventurers could enter the temple. Other players weren't allowed.
To become an adventurer of Primordial City, one needed to head to the Adventurer's Association and accept a Primordial City Adventurer Quest. Only after obtaining the Primordial City Adventurer Emblem would one become an ordinary adventurer of Primordial City and enjoy some of the city's benefits.
As Shi Feng was in a hurry, he hadn't headed to the Adventurer's Association to complete the quest.
Without hesitation, Shifeng equipped his City Rookie Emblem.
"Can I enter now?" Shifeng asked as he pointed at his City Rookie Emblem.
The City Rookie Emblem was equivalent to Primordial City's Bronze Adventurer Emblem. Hence, he hadn't visited the Adventurer's Association yet. He'd wait until he had the time to complete a quest to obtain a real Adventurer Emblem.
"Confirmed as the city's rookie insignia. Identity confirmed. You may enter!"
After the two puppets finished scanning the city's rookie insignia, they returned to their original positions and ignored the Shifeng, allowing the Shifeng to enter the Seven Luminaries Temple.
The Seven Luminaries Temple's main hall was like a plaza. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but there were also places for players to rest and chat. There were even open-air restaurants and bars for players to eat and drink.
The delicacies and wines here were unique to Primordial City. At the same time, they couldn't be brought into the city. Moreover, the delicacies here were unforgettable. Even those who were used to eating delicacies would want to dine here every day. However, very few players could afford to eat here.
This was because everything in the Primordial City was Primordial City's Contribution Points, not Gold, Silver, or Magic Crystals. Simply eating here would cost 100 Contribution Points. Of course, players would also receive benefits that corresponded to the 100 Contribution Points they had earned, which was a buff to their perception and concentration. However, the buff would only last for two hours.
During this time, players could rent the training rooms in the Seven Luminaries Temple and use them to practice the combat skills they had purchased from the Seven Luminaries Temple.
Similarly, renting the training rooms also cost Contribution Points. Basic Training Rooms cost 10 Contribution Points per hour, Intermediate Training Rooms cost 30 Contribution Points per hour, and Advanced Training Rooms cost 100 Contribution Points per hour.
To players, who struggled to earn Contribution Points, this was an astronomical sum.
After entering Primordial City, aside from the Contribution Points awarded on the first visit, players wouldn't receive anything on the second visit. Hence, the first visit was very important. Unless players received a system reward for being the first to clear Primordial City, they could only earn Contribution Points from Primordial City.
Shifeng didn't pay too much attention to the Seven Luminaries Temple's exchange counter.
"Sir, do you wish to exchange for something?" a female Elf with pointy ears asked, smiling at Shi Feng.
Although she was only a counter manager, upon closer inspection, Shi Feng discovered that she was a Level 150, Tier 3 Great Mage. Moreover, as she was an Elf, she was born with extremely high Mana and control over Mana. She was even slightly stronger than Tier 3 Great Mages of the same level.
In a small NPC city in a kingdom, she could even serve as the Magistrate …
If Shifeng didn't activate an Invulnerability Skill, he'd die instantly.
"I wish to exchange for Primordial Souls," Shifeng said.
"Primordial Souls are extremely rare. Each Primordial Soul costs 200 Contribution Points. We only have a limited number here, so we can only exchange for 100 Primordial Souls per day," the female Elf said, smiling. "May I know how many Primordial Souls you wish to exchange for?"
"Twenty," Shifeng said.
Primordial Souls were rare tools that could help players achieve Promotion Quests more easily. They were also unique to Primordial City. Naturally, Shi Feng wanted to exchange for as many as he could. He had 5,000 Contribution Points from clearing the Asura Trial and 3,000 Contribution Points from the system, so he had a total of 8,000 Contribution Points. Spending 4,000 Contribution Points on Primordial Souls wasn't a problem. After all, he didn't know how many of the Ling YI Society's remaining members would enter Primordial City.
Moreover, compared to others, Shi Feng had the City's Rookie Emblem. He would have a much easier time earning Contribution Points.
"Very well." The female Elf then retrieved 20 bottles of Primordial Souls from the storage space behind her. "Sir, as the City's Rookie, you will enjoy a 10% discount. That will be a total of 3,600 Contribution Points. Do you wish to exchange for anything else?"
After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng gritted his teeth and said, "I wish to exchange for 12 Primordial Scrolls and a Teleportation Stone to the Darkness Plane."
Originally, he had planned to exchange for Advanced Combat Techniques after arriving in Primordial City so that his Guild members could learn them. However, obtaining the Lost Town was more important.
As one of the Higher Planes, the Power of Darkness within the Darkness Plane was extremely dense. The monsters that lived in the Darkness Plane also possessed frightening Power of Darkness. When players killed the monsters in the Darkness Plane, they had a considerable chance of dropping Darkness Crystal Fragments. Alchemists could synthesize 100 Darkness Crystal Fragments to synthesize a complete Darkness Crystal. Only, the success rate was somewhat low, only 30%. Even so, it was the best shortcut to obtaining Darkness Crystals.
Meanwhile, if players killed Mythic monsters, they had a nearly 10% chance of dropping a complete Darkness Crystal.
Hence, in the past, players that wanted to obtain Darkness Crystals had all chosen to travel to the Darkness Plane.
However, as a Higher Plane, the Darkness Plane was extremely dangerous. With Shi Feng's current strength, he would have a 90% chance of dying if he ventured into the Darkness Plane. His only hope of survival was the Bible of Darkness. Without the Bible of Darkness, a measly Level 65, Tier 2 player like himself would be suicidal.
However, if he wanted to survive, he needed the Primordial Scroll.
The Primordial Scroll was a super-rare scroll that could only be used in Higher Planes. It allowed players to summon a Primordial Heroic Spirit to fight for them. It was the equivalent of a Tier 3 Summoning Scroll.
The Primordial Heroic Spirit's strength did not lie in its combat prowess. Rather, it possessed a large number of support-type Skills and Spells, which could significantly increase a player's combat power.
Like the Primordial Soul, the Primordial Scroll was a limited purchase item in Primordial City every day.
"Each Primordial Scroll costs 300 Contribution Points, so 12 Primordial Scrolls cost 3,600 Contribution Points. The Darkness Plane Teleportation Stone can only be purchased by Bronze Adventurers and costs 1,000 Contribution Points. Sir, as the city's newcomer, you enjoy a 10% discount. That's a total of 4,140 Contribution Points," the Elf beauty said, smiling as she took out the items Shifeng needed.
Following which, Shifeng paid the Contribution Points, turning from a wealthy man to a pauper.
