Two minutes later, the balance of spiritual crystals on the cosmic trading system had reached 135.

At this point, the spiritual energy within the trading space has been almost completely refined.

Only a small amount of spiritual energy remained, enveloping a faint white light that flickered slightly.

Lin Yun knew that this faint white light must be the spirituality of this creature.

This is also the most precious thing about this spirit.

Lin Yun did not refine the remaining spiritual energy, because he wanted to maintain the existence of this spirituality.

Although this spirit has no consciousness, it has a life instinct. The loss of a large amount of spiritual energy has greatly reduced its sense of security, and it is now throbbing slightly, as if it is afraid.

"Testing..."

Lin Yun gave the order.

"Level Two Spirituality..."

The Cosmic Trading System quickly provided the results.

Level 2 spirituality?

Lin Yun was overjoyed.

Many newly born spirits have no hierarchy because they are not very stable. Depending on the circumstances, they are worth anywhere from a few to dozens of spirit crystals.

Once it reaches a certain level, this spirituality becomes more stable and is worth at least a hundred spiritual crystals.

If you perform better, you might gain some more spiritual insights, but not by much.

However, once it reaches level two, this spirituality is worth at least a thousand spiritual crystals.

Thousands of spiritual crystals...

How could Lin Yun not be excited?

He is currently at a time when he is most lacking in intellectual and spiritual achievements.

Even if it's just a thousand or so spiritual crystals, they can still have a significant impact.

"You found a spiritual object? Have you put it into the trading space? What level of spirituality does it have?" Xinglan sent a message at this moment, also expressing her surprise.

"Level two spirituality," Lin Yun replied quickly.

He sent a message to Xinglan as soon as he discovered the spirit object.

"Level 2 spirituality? You're really lucky. You can sell it for at least a thousand spiritual crystals!" Xinglan said happily for Lin Yun.

“However, it’s not a good deal for you to sell it, because it can be used to increase the upper limit of the equipment for absorbing and refining spiritual energy.” Xinglan paused and said.

"It can be used to increase the upper limit of the equipment for absorbing and refining spiritual energy. How so?" Lin Yun asked.

When he was looking up information about spirit objects, he saw that it said they had many uses, but he didn't look at the specific uses one by one.

"To put it this way, on the Cosmic Trading System, a device that can absorb and refine the spiritual energy of ten million people is worth about five thousand spiritual crystals. If you buy such a device and fuse a level two spirituality into it, the device can absorb and refine the spiritual energy of twenty million people," Xinglan said thoughtfully.

"Such a thing is true?" Lin Yun asked in surprise.

Because he had no plans to purchase equipment for absorbing and refining spiritual energy recently, he hadn't paid much attention to this information and was unaware of it.

However, he knew that a device capable of absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of ten million people had no upper limit on the spiritual energy emitted by each individual.

Humans on the other side of Star Blue can absorb and refine the spiritual energy of ten million people, and humans on this side of Earth can also absorb and refine the spiritual energy of ten million people.

The main goal is to establish ten million special channels.

He hadn't expected that if he integrated a level-two spirituality into this device, he could increase the number of channels by ten million. Wouldn't that mean that by buying one of these devices, he could use it as two?

“If that’s the case, it’s fine for you to sell this spiritual essence. At worst, you can buy it back when you have spiritual crystals in the future. It will just cost you more spiritual crystals.” Xinglan nodded and said.

"The reason I said it's a pity for you to sell it is because this spiritual energy originated from your people. After it's integrated into the device, absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of your people should increase its efficiency by about 30% to 50%. You should know that the efficiency of this device in absorbing and refining spiritual energy cannot be compared with the Cosmic Trading System. A difference of 30% to 50% in efficiency is a huge gap..."

"Over time, it adds up to a considerable amount!"

"It's easy for you to sell it now, but once you have spiritual essence, it will be difficult to buy this spiritual essence again!"

Xinglan said solemnly.

"Such a thing actually happened..."

Hearing Xinglan's words, Lin Yun was surprised again.

The Earth is too big.

The cost of allowing the cosmic trading system to continuously expand its range of absorbing and refining spiritual energy is too high.

Ultimately, he will likely purchase equipment for absorbing and refining spiritual energy, making the efficiency of such equipment extremely important.

As Xinglan said, efficiency can be improved by 30% to 50%, which adds up to a significant difference over time.

In particular, Lin Yun knew that humans on Earth emit a lot of spiritual energy, so this 30% to 50% efficiency loss was even greater.

Although he has now easily attained a level two spirituality.

Beside this spirit, there were two more spirits, and those two spirits also appeared to be of a high level.

But he wasn't sure if he could easily obtain something like this again.

After all... this is said to be the place where Laozi once preached. He is the founder of Taoism and is very famous all over the world. Who knows if the reason for the emergence of these spiritual beings is related to this?

If this is related, then it won't be easy for him to find spirituality at this level again.

After all, figures of Laozi's stature are few and far between in the entire history of the world.

Thinking this through, Lin Yun hesitated.

“I have a solution. You sell this spiritual essence to me, and I'll keep it for you. When you have extra spiritual crystals, I'll sell it back to you.” Xinglan smiled and said.

Hearing Xinglan's words, Lin Yun's heart stirred.

He had just checked, and what Xinglan said was indeed true.

Xinglan's suggestion is indeed a good one.

"Won't this... cause trouble for Brother Xinglan?" Lin Yun asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hehe, we're quite familiar with each other, so this little favor is nothing. I just acquired a large amount of spiritual crystals and don't need them for the time being. These spiritual crystals are just sitting here anyway, so why not let you use them to develop your system? If the master of our universe trading system wants to continue to develop and progress, multi-party cooperation is a direction. I'm helping you today, but perhaps one day I'll need your help," Xinglan said with a smile.

"If you need any help in the future, Brother Xinglan, please don't hesitate to ask," Lin Yun nodded.

"Hmm, it's a pity that you haven't even completed the one-year novice period since you obtained the Cosmic Trading System. The system judges it to be in an unstable period. Otherwise, I could have lent you some spiritual crystals," Xinglan sighed.

"Even now, when I buy your items, I can't exceed 30% of the average price of these items. After you've been a newbie for a year, there won't be such a big restriction."

“I’ve analyzed it. The average price of your quality spiritual essence on the cosmic trading system is over 1,150 spiritual crystals. If it’s 30% higher, it would be a little over 1,500 spiritual crystals. I’ll buy it for 1,500 spiritual crystals, so you can have more funds for development,” Xinglan said.

"This is already very good, thank you very much, Brother Xinglan," Lin Yun said with a smile.

Speaking of borrowing spiritual crystals, after hearing Xinglan's rules, he thought of a "good way" to buy resources from other places and then sell them to Xinglan at a high price. However, Xinglan told him that this method would not work. The Cosmic Trading System is not to be trifled with. All their communication and transactions are conducted through the Cosmic Trading System, which can detect this.

He had just analyzed the spiritual price using the Cosmic Trading System, and all the data was indeed as Xinglan had said. He knew that Xinglan really wanted to help him.

Soon, Lin Yun and Xing Lan completed the transaction.

At the same time as the Level 2 spiritual energy was transferred, Lin Yun received 1,500 spiritual crystals.

"Fifteen hundred spirit crystals are enough to learn intermediate-level futures market knowledge on Earth..."

Lin Yun took a deep breath.

This was truly an unexpected bonus.

Originally, he planned to spend the vast majority of his funds to purchase various resources before exchanging them for sufficient spiritual crystals.

That way, you might not be able to get enough spiritual crystals, and even if you could, you would be very strapped for cash.

Now, however, it's no longer necessary.

The 1,500 spiritual crystals would not only allow him to learn about intermediate futures markets on Earth, but the rest would also allow him to spend a long time on martial arts training.

For the time being, he is not in a hurry to study.

Lin Yun looked up at the two large trees at the entrance of the palace.

A fiery glint flashed in his eyes.

He wondered what level of spirituality these two creatures possessed. If they were level two or even higher, he would be rich.

He had just checked and found that a level three spiritual essence was worth at least ten thousand spiritual crystals.

"Brother, you can absorb the spiritual energy within us, please don't take us away..."

"If you don't take us with you, we can still help you absorb spiritual energy here..."

Spirits are very perceptive. The two spirits sensed that the spirit in the statue had disappeared, which frightened them greatly. The two spirits said timidly, their voices trembling.

The two spirits' voices were very childish, and they sounded so frightened that Lin Yun was speechless and felt a sense of guilt.

"You're saying you can absorb spiritual energy while you're here? Is the spiritual energy you're absorbing emitted by those who come to offer incense?" Lin Yun walked up to the large tree that he hadn't checked before and said.

He placed his palm on the tree and extended his mental energy. A blue ball of light appeared under his mental perception.

No wonder the spirit of that big tree called it Little Blue.

It turns out that the spirit was blue.

Lin Yun suddenly realized.

"Yes, brother is so smart, that's exactly right!"

"My brother is so smart!"

Two spirits throbbed rapidly, uttering childish voices.

Lin Yun found it amusing.

These two spirits actually know how to flatter.

I really don't know how it came to be.

"Your name is Xiao Lan, right? Don't move yet..." Lin Yun paused and said.

Regardless, he decided to test the spiritual levels of these two individuals first before making any further decisions.

"Okay, brother, Xiao Lan won't move..." Xiao Lan said timidly.

Under Lin Yun's mental perception, the blue light calmed down.

"Testing..."

Lin Yun gave the order.

A peculiar fluctuation covered the blue light.

Because it's not in the trading space, this takes a bit longer.

After about half a minute, the peculiar fluctuations emanating from the cosmic trading system disappeared.

"Level One Spirituality..."

The results are in.

"Huh? Only level one?"

Lin Yun was stunned; he could hardly believe it.

How could a spirit with such high intelligence only be at level one?

The white light inside that big tree was similar to this blue light cluster; could it also be at level one in terms of spirituality?

Thinking this, Lin Yun walked to another large tree and placed his palm on it.

Half a minute later, the results came out.

Sure enough, the spirituality within this white light was also at level one.

Both of these spiritual levels are actually at level one.

Lin Yun remained silent.

However, upon closer examination, these two orbs of light do seem to be quite different from the white orb in the statue, and are far smaller than that white orb. So, it's not too surprising that they are only at level one.

It seems that a higher level of intelligence does not necessarily equate to a higher spiritual level.

However, the value of first-level spirituality and second-level spirituality differs greatly.

Level 2 spirituality, valued at over a thousand spiritual crystals.

A level one spiritual essence is worth only a hundred or so spiritual crystals, at most a little over a hundred.

"Brother, is it done? Can Xiaobai move now...?" Just then, the spirit that Lin Yun had just examined asked timidly.

"Alright, you can move now." Lin Yun said, somewhat amused.

To be honest, seeing how intelligent these two spirits were, he was really reluctant to sell them.

Perhaps it's not bad that they've been identified as having level one spirituality.

At least, he no longer has to decide whether or not to sell them.

The voices and intelligence of these two spirits were like those of children; if he were to actually sell them, it would give him the feeling of abducting underage children.

More than a hundred spiritual crystals, though a lot, were not too scarce for him.

Especially considering that he had already obtained more than 1,600 spiritual crystals.

By the way, these two spirits said that he could absorb their spiritual energy?

Perhaps, he can gain some more spiritual energy.

"I'm absorbing your spiritual energy, it won't affect you, will it?" Thinking this, Lin Yun asked, as if something had occurred to him.

"It won't have any impact. We only need a small amount of spiritual energy to survive," the spirit named Xiao Lan quickly said.

Hearing the spirit's words, Lin Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If absorbing the spiritual energy from these two spirits would affect them, he might not be so inclined to do so.

It seems that these two spirits live in a way similar to that of bees.

They collect a lot of honey regularly, but much of it is not essential. Even if some is harvested, it doesn't affect the bees' survival.

"Alright then, Xiaobai, don't move. I'll absorb some of your spiritual energy..." Lin Yun nodded and said.

Since absorbing this spiritual energy wouldn't affect the survival of the two spirits, he decided to proceed without hesitation.

Because it doesn't take place in a trading space, this process is a bit more complicated.

Lin Yun placed his palm on the large tree and gently released a burst of spiritual energy to contact the white light cluster within it.

Soon, streams of spiritual energy flowed into the trading space along with the spiritual energy he released.
