No longer thinking about the Lu and Mo families, he went downstairs and had his bodyguard drive to the warehouse where the resources were located.

An hour later, Lin Yun's balance on the Universe Trading System increased by another 3,200 Spirit Crystals.

Including the spiritual crystals obtained from the Cosmic Trading System and the specialized equipment for absorbing and refining spiritual energy over the past hour, his balance on the Cosmic Trading System has now reached more than 4,750 spiritual crystals.

He only needs a little over a thousand more spirit crystals to buy a professional device for absorbing and refining spirit energy on the cosmic trading system, plus a level two spirituality.

If you only need to purchase equipment that specializes in absorbing and refining spiritual energy, you might only need a couple hundred more spiritual crystals.

Furthermore, he could even find some secondhand equipment on the cosmic trading system and buy it right now.

To buy or not to buy?

Lin Yun was conflicted once again.

On one hand, there is the temptation of four Grandmasters of Internal Energy; on the other hand, there is the temptation of faster development.

Safety is the priority, so it's best to buy a robot with the strength of a Grandmaster of Internal Energy first.

Lin Yun quickly made a decision.

The Lu and Mo families came knocking again; his safety, and that of those around him, was of utmost importance.

A few protective pendants are not enough.

Both the Lu and Mo families have martial artists. If a martial artist at the Dark Force realm attacks their family members, even protective pendants will be useless.

Also, the warehouse building in Xianyuan County needs to be guarded by some more powerful robots.

Last time, when he delivered the protective pendant, he sent a robot.

This time, he went there in person, and also took the opportunity to visit the Sanqing Palace again.

They inquired about the two spirits, specifically what constituted a Level Two spirit.

Without the assistance of secondary spiritual resources on Earth, and relying solely on equipment, coupled with spiritual resources purchased through the cosmic trading system, the efficiency of absorbing and refining spiritual energy is extremely poor.

The two spirits who called themselves "Grandma" are capable of creating intelligent spirits like Xiaobai and Xiaolan. They are not ordinary people. He has several robots with the strength of Grandmaster of Internal Energy. If he encounters that "Grandma", if that "Grandma" is very powerful, or if she is hostile to him, he can deal with her better.

With that in mind, Lin Yun had already confirmed the payment on the cosmic trading system.

It's still the same store, and the same robots, just with different appearances.

"Buzz—"

One minute later, a peculiar fluctuation appeared in Lin Yun's trading space, and three middle-aged men in black appeared within it.

Lin Yun waved his hand and released the three middle-aged men in black.

Instead of buying four robots, Lin Yun bought three, and kept the remaining 1,700-plus spirit crystals for future use.

His trip to Xianyuan County might be because there's a place that needs his spiritual essence.

"Master," the three middle-aged men in black said respectfully.

"From now on, you can call me... Young Master Yun. And Lin Tian, ​​you can call me Young Master Yun too. You both have the surname Lin, so it feels a little strange to have you call me Young Master Lin," Lin Yun said with a smile.

As he spoke, Lin Yun turned to look at Lin Tian beside him.

"Yes, Young Master Yun." The four robots nodded in unison.

"Well, Lin Tian already has a name. The three of you will be called Lin Di, Lin Xuan, and Lin Huang, respectively!" Lin Yun nodded slightly and said.

After naming the four robots, Lin Yun set off for Xianyuan County.

This time, he didn't bring bodyguards from Golden Sword Security Company because that would require taking a plane and then transferring planes, which was too troublesome. He was currently wasting a lot of his spiritual resources on the road.

This time, he took the three robots, Lin Di, Lin Xuan, and Lin Huang, back with him in that invisible flying car. As for Lin Tian, ​​Lin Yun sent him to protect Xia Qingqing.

At a speed of 3,000 kilometers per hour, Lin Yun and the three robots arrived in Xianyuan County in less than an hour.

Instead of going to Xianyuan County first, Lin Yun went to Sanqing Palace first.

Lin Yun met the two spirits, Xiao Bai and Xiao Lan, without any trouble, but he didn't see the "grandmother" they had mentioned. The two little ones were very happy to see Lin Yun. The pure spiritual energy that Lin Yun had given them last time had helped them grow a lot.

Lin Yun asked the two little ones questions about spirituality.

“Spirituality is mostly born in places of faith,” said Xiaobai’s childish voice.

"Most of them are born in places of faith?" Lin Yun pondered.

He had looked up information about spirituality on the Cosmic Trading System, but there was very little information about spirituality there, and much of the information was not necessarily suitable for all situations, so it also needed to be analyzed.

The Cosmic Trading System states that spirituality is mostly innate and can exist anywhere; anything can give rise to spirituality. It rarely mentions things like faith, not because it doesn't exist, but because it's very rare.

“Brother, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard the saying, ‘There are no gods in this world, but when more people believe in them, they appear.’” Xiaobai thought for a moment and said.

Hearing the little guy's words, Lin Yun was speechless.

The original quote is: "There were no roads in the world originally, but as more people walked on them, they became roads."

However, what this little guy said doesn't seem to be wrong. Gods... may not exist at all, just like Jesus, Buddha, Guanyin, or even Pangu who created the world and Nuwa who created humans. Their abilities are too exaggerated... But, since so many people say it, aren't these gods just another kind of existence?

“When a person believes in something, their spiritual energy will emanate and converge towards that thing… When many people believe in something, and their spiritual energy increases and converges towards that thing, it is possible for… spirituality to be born!” Xiaobai’s childish voice slowly said.

"Is this how spirituality is born?" Lin Yun asked in surprise.

"This doesn't necessarily guarantee the birth of a spirit, but many spirits are born this way. After a spirit is born, it can absorb spiritual energy to strengthen itself. If, at this time, there is still a large amount of spiritual energy constantly gathering, it can slowly grow stronger..." Little White twitched slightly, as if nodding, and said in a childish voice.

"A large amount of spiritual energy condenses... giving birth to spirituality... is this what is called a god?" Lin Yun pondered.

“These are innate deities, and there are also acquired deities. They are beings who, after death… well, for various reasons, did not have their souls dissipate or leave, and by chance gained the power of faith… However, such cases are rare now…” Little White spoke very softly at the end, as if it had touched on some taboo, but since the words had already been spoken, it could not stop talking.

"Innate deities, acquired deities, and some beings, for various reasons, do not have their souls dissipate after death?" Hearing the little guy's words, Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat again; this somewhat overturned his understanding.
