In the end, Lin Yun subdued Fang Ao.
He spent a billion spiritual crystals to get that artificial heart, and a hundred million spiritual crystals to create the restriction in Fang Ao's body.
"That's 1.1 billion spirit crystals. A robot with the strength of a level 10 early-stage martial artist only has 10 billion spirit crystals..."
Lin Yun shook his head.
It's just that earning less than nine billion spiritual crystals isn't much.
However, real people have many advantages over robots, as can be seen from the fact that Fang Ao could use a trick to deal with a robot with the strength of a mid-level tenth-level martial artist.
Furthermore, Fang Ao may reach an even higher level in the future, which would make him even more valuable—something that robots cannot do.
"This heart is not yet a perfect match for your body. Take good care of it during this period, and there will be no aftereffects," Lin Yun said, looking at Fang Ao.
"Yes, Fang Ao thanks you for your concern, Master!" Fang Ao bowed respectfully.
Originally, Fang Ao wasn't entirely convinced of Lin Yun's abilities. He believed that although Lin Yun had strong subordinates, he ultimately lacked real power. However, after realizing that Lin Yun was only in his twenties, he was completely convinced.
A peak level nine cultivator in his twenties—this was something he had never seen or heard of before; it was like a fairy tale.
When he was in his twenties, what level had he reached?
A level one cultivator? Or a level two cultivator?
The two are far from comparable!
Such a young age and such great achievements, the future is definitely limitless!
At this moment, he also realized why, in one video, he saw that the other party only had the strength of a level six or seven cultivator, while in another video, he saw that the other party had the strength of a level seven or eight cultivator!
In both videos, they both seem to be giving it their all!
It must have been during this period that the opponent's strength increased!
How long has it been? The opponent's strength has improved so much!
What made him even more certain of the other person's potential!
Therefore, following this person now might be his greatest opportunity!
The other person is only in their twenties, just as their life is beginning!
If he follows the other party at this time and makes good use of the opportunity, he will have no trouble making a future!
Lin Yun nodded slightly.
Actually, he found it quite amusing.
Unexpectedly, when he used his mental power to check if the other party was sincere, it had such an effect.
This was an unexpected bonus.
A capable and obedient subordinate can certainly play a greater role.
...
Lin Yun also placed restrictions on Fang Ao's loyal subordinates.
As for how to discern their loyalty to Fang Ao, it's quite simple. When Yang Yi and Yang Er captured those three warships, they said, "Surrender, or die."
Yang Yi and Yang Er recorded everyone's behavior at the time, so it was easy to tell who was loyal to Fang Ao.
These people are fiercely loyal to Fang Ao. Although Fang Ao has already pledged allegiance to them, these people still need to be monitored from time to time.
As for the others, forget about them.
Such restrictions are not cheap either.
Lin Yun didn't want to waste his spiritual crystallization.
There were only a few hundred people, and their strength wasn't very high. In addition, they weren't very loyal to Fang Ao, so it wouldn't be difficult to control them by using some methods.
...
"These three top-tier warships, at the level of a sixth-tier technological civilization, don't conform to the standard data on the cosmic trading system. Some are higher, some are lower, but that's normal, since they don't have much technology from other technological civilizations to use..."
On Tianzhu Star, Lin Yun looked at the three warships in front of him and said softly.
These three warships were originally Fang Ao's and his group's warships, and now they are Lin Yun's spoils of war.
It took 1.1 billion spirit crystals to treat Fang Ao, and nearly 100 billion spirit crystals were spent on purchasing Yang Yi and Yang Er.
Now, he has very few spiritual crystals left in his cosmic trading system.
He naturally wanted to find a way to reclaim some of his spiritual treasures.
Lin Yun plans to sell these three warships through the cosmic trading system.
In the cosmic trading system, materials are the most valuable, while technological power, unless it is top-tier, is not very valuable. The materials used in these three warships are not bad, but some aspects of their technology are somewhat lacking.
Therefore, these three warships are probably not cheap.
This is the information Lin Yun found on the Cosmic Trading System.
call--
With a wave of his hand, Lin Yun put the three warships into the trading space and then listed them on the universe trading system.
"It's a pity that Fang Ao took two valuable pills earlier. There were only two, and he took them both. If I had known, I would have had Yang Er take action earlier..." Lin Yun shook his head.
That was a miscalculation.
However, this is a safer approach.
It can only be said that everything has its gains and losses.
...
Thirty days later, the three warships were sold, and Lin Yun received a total of 15 billion spiritual crystals.
"War is truly incredibly profitable. In the past two years, I've worked so hard in business, and with places like Earth providing such immense spiritual energy, how much spiritual essence have I actually obtained?"
Upon receiving this message, Lin Yun opened his eyes and sighed slightly.
He obtained more than 10 billion spiritual crystals in just one small-scale war, which was almost his harvest over several decades.
A restless thought even stirred within him.
A desire to start another war arose within him.
It must be said that money can be very tempting.
There's a reason behind the saying, "People die for wealth, birds die for food."
This is an abnormal mentality.
If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
This is playing with fire.
In this way, you might get away with it once or twice, or even reap great rewards once or twice, but if you encounter a powerful enemy one time, you might end up ruining yourself.
...
"According to Fang Ao, warships of the seventh-level technological civilization are extremely valuable in the Cordis Empire. The Cordis Empire also possesses the ability to collect spiritual energy and has a territory spanning millions of light-years, countless billions of citizens, and numerous subordinate states. The amount of spiritual crystals it obtains each year is terrifying. If a warship of the seventh-level technological civilization were sold in the Cordis Empire, it would surely yield a considerable profit..." Lin Yun said quietly.
The Cosmic Trading System focuses on trading.
This is the right way.
"However, I will set off again when I break through to the Nebula Realm..."
The next moment, Lin Yun closed his eyes and whispered.
Breaking through from the peak of the Starry Sky Realm to the Nebula Realm is a major breakthrough, and it's best to have a stable environment.
Now, his strength has also weakened somewhat.
In the Cordis Empire, there are more than a dozen level ten cultivators, and these are just the ones on the surface. No one knows how many more are hidden, or what level the highest one has reached.
It would be safer for him to improve his skills first before going.
In the blink of an eye, another six months have passed.
"At the peak of the Starry Realm, I condensed one starlight in a month, and twelve starlights in three months. Now, with twelve starlights, I have reached my limit. In three months, the final step is the most difficult to break through. This is a domain-like breakthrough. Breaking through this star domain will expand another star domain, connecting one star domain after another, making the dantian form a nebula-like existence. Once the breakthrough is achieved, one will enter another level, and his power will undergo a qualitative change..."
Inside the secluded cultivation room, Lin Yun closed his eyes and murmured softly.
In the past few days, flashes of inspiration have been constantly appearing in his mind. He has a feeling that he may break through to the Nebula Realm in the next few days.
It's a vague, elusive feeling, a feeling of almost grasping something, yet never quite managing to hold onto it. 46
