"There are other ways to give birth to spirituality!" Xiaobai quickly said in an attempt to distract Lin Yun.
"Is there another way? What way?" Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
Spirituality was of great importance to him.
This information about Xiaobai was also of great help to him.
Putting everything else aside, the mere mention of "the land of faith" saved him a lot of trouble. Now, when he searches for spirituality, he won't be completely lost.
“Some people’s thoughts are in line with a natural law of the world. If their spiritual power is slightly stronger and they concentrate on completing something that conforms to the natural law of the world, they may be able to give birth to spirituality…” Xiaobai thought for a moment and said.
“This…” Lin Yun pondered.
To be precise, he didn't quite understand what the novice was saying.
"Brother, I wonder if you've ever heard the story of 'dotting the eyes of a dragon'?" Seeing Lin Yun's somewhat puzzled look, Xiao Bai asked happily.
"The finishing touch?" Lin Yun's heart stirred, as if he had thought of something.
"The 'dotting the eyes' means that a person's painting has reached a level that conforms to a natural law of the world, and it is only missing that eye. Once that eye is added, the painting will be born with a spirit, as if it has life," Xiaobai said happily.
"There's another story. Once upon a time, there was a scholar whose calligraphy was so excellent that a single character was worth a thousand gold pieces. One day, a wealthy family asked him to write a character. He was supposed to write the character '天' (tian, meaning 'sky'), but he only wrote '大' (da, meaning 'big') and didn't finish. Later, he was drinking at a tavern and didn't have any money with him. He asked the innkeeper to bring him a piece of paper, then he went to the kitchen, grabbed a broom, dipped it in the ashes from the stove, and drew a horizontal line on the paper. He then told the innkeeper to exchange it for money at the wealthy family's house. As a result, the wealthy family gave the innkeeper one hundred taels of gold, and the innkeeper was overjoyed." Then, Xiaobai told another story, his tone full of happiness.
A good story should be shared with others to bring joy. Usually, it and Little Blue are the only two spirits here who can talk to each other, which is too lonely. It is rare to have someone who can communicate with them and is willing to listen to its stories. How could it not be happy?
"You mean, the words written by that scholar can be imbued with spirit?" Lin Yun asked in surprise.
"Yes, brother is so smart!" Little White said happily.
"hehe……"
Lin Yun smiled but didn't say anything. It wasn't that he was smart, but rather that the story was just too simple. If he didn't understand it, then he would have a problem with his intelligence.
"The two stories you told were very good and vivid. I understand!" Lin Yun nodded slightly and said.
He vaguely recalled why some people's calligraphy and paintings were so valuable, with some works even reaching astronomical prices. Could it be that they could be imbued with spirituality?
Can some people sense the presence of the spiritual?
It's not surprising that some people can sense spirituality. Back then, Xiaobai and Xiaolan mentioned that if someone could sense the spirituality inside the statue, they might ignore them because of it, thus allowing them to escape a crisis.
This reveals two pieces of information. One is that some people can sense spirituality, and the other is that the process of those people sensing spirituality is not easy. Otherwise, they wouldn't have neglected the two spirits, Xiaobai and Xiaolan, after sensing the spirituality in the statue.
“Not only calligraphy and paintings can be imbued with spirituality, but all kinds of handicrafts can also be imbued with spirituality. The more attentive the owner is in the process of creating these works, the more likely the works are to be imbued with spirituality,” Xiaobai said.
"Mm." Lin Yun nodded.
Previously, Xiaobai mentioned this point: spirituality... is born from spiritual energy. If the owner of the work does not put their heart into it and does not expend their spirit, how can a work possibly give birth to spirituality?
“However, the spirituality born in this way is very weak, and if it does not absorb spiritual energy for a long time, it will disappear. Only a very few spiritualities can absorb the weak energy in the air and convert it into spiritual energy so that they can survive…” Xiaobai continued.
"Is that so?" Lin Yun said thoughtfully.
A spirit is born very weak, and this can be understood if you think about it carefully.
However, some spirits gradually disappear, while others survive.
This made him think about the quality of spirituality.
The Cosmic Trading System states that integrating local spirituality into equipment that professionally absorbs and refines spiritual energy can increase the equipment's efficiency by 30% to 50%. Does this mean that some high-quality spirituality can increase efficiency even more?
Yes, that's also very important information.
"I wonder if my creations, after learning some creative skills on the Cosmic Trading System, will be able to acquire spirituality?" Just then, Lin Yun had a sudden thought.
If his creations can evoke spirituality, then he'll be rich.
In particular, like the scholar in the story the little guy just told, every word can be imbued with spirituality.
He writes thousands or even tens of thousands of words a day, that would be terrible!
As far as he knew, on the cosmic trading system, an ordinary, unranked spirit was worth anywhere from ten to dozens of spirit crystals.
If so, the spirituality born from his creations can be elevated to level one, making them worth over a hundred spiritual crystals.
If one advances to level two, it will be worth more than a thousand spirit crystals.
Then the gains would be even greater.
However, Lin Yun only thought about this once.
In that story, a wealthy family asked a scholar to write some calligraphy. The scholar only wrote half a character and then stopped. Clearly, the kind of calligraphy that could be imbued with spirit was not something that could be written casually.
However, this is still one way.
He had long known that some arts could cultivate one's character and even conform to some rules and principles of cultivation. Appropriate exposure to some of these arts would benefit many cultivation systems. He had even considered learning an art form, but had never put it into practice.
Looking back now, the impact of some forms of art exceeded his expectations.
Perhaps he could have gotten involved earlier.
In the civilization where Xinglan lived, Xinglan searched everywhere but only managed to obtain some level one spirituality; she couldn't find any spirituality above level one.
There is very little information about spirituality on the Cosmic Trading System. He just checked and found that someone had mentioned the method Xiaobai was talking about on the Cosmic Trading System, but only briefly.
The gist is that some strong individuals can reach this level, but not every strong individual can do it; this is a special kind of existence.
There are spiritual beings on Earth who are born in this way, and there are likely not just one or two, ten or twenty, but many.
Perhaps, art on Earth also has some unique aspects.
