Lang Jiuping's words greatly moved Lin Yun.
In the past few days, he has searched many places but has not found many spiritual beings.
If he could join this circle, it would be much easier for him to seek spirituality.
Advanced spirituality is something that money can't buy. Before long, he plans to purchase a device with a different mode of absorbing and refining spiritual energy. At that time, his level two spirituality will not be enough.
He desperately needs to find a higher level of spirituality.
However, he wasn't too familiar with this circle of spirit hunters, and if he rashly entered... he wondered if anything unexpected might happen...
"Let's leave that aside for now. You should know... there should be differences between special items, right? Otherwise, why would you only be willing to offer low prices for some items and high prices for others at the auction?" Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.
“Mr. Lin, the reason we are called spirit seekers is because our purpose is to find items that are truly spiritual. Some of these items may look like they are spiritual, but they are actually pseudo-spiritual items. You may have already noticed this, Mr. Lin…” Lang Jiuping said with a slight smile.
Anyone who frequently comes into contact with such items would eventually discover this, and Lin Yun's words implied that he had also discovered this, so he did not try to hide anything in his speech.
"A pseudo-spiritual item?" Lin Yun murmured.
He knew that the pseudo-spiritual items this person was referring to were those that possessed a large amount of spiritual energy but lacked spirituality. At first glance, such items seemed to possess spirituality, but if placed in a deserted place for a period of time, it would be found that the spiritual energy on them would soon dissipate completely. Calling them pseudo-spiritual items was indeed appropriate.
“There are differences between pseudo-spiritual items. Some items do possess spirituality, but that spirituality is too weak and unstable. It may grow and stabilize, or it may slowly dissipate... Such items also have a certain value. They are mostly found in items from recent times, and some are even works by contemporary celebrities.” Lang Jiuping paused and said.
"This kind of item..." Lin Yun said in surprise.
When an item is first born with a spirit, it is usually very weak. Xiaobai had told him this before, and the Cosmic Trading System also introduced this kind of spirit. This kind of spirit belongs to the unranked level.
The spirituality is unstable; it may disappear or break through to the first level and stabilize.
The price of this spirituality on the cosmic trading system varies from a few to dozens of spiritual crystals, depending on its manifestation.
During this period, Lin Yun has been searching for mature and high-level spirituality. Therefore, he mostly searches in temples and antiques, where the spirituality has mostly broken through to the first level.
He had seen a few of these kinds of spiritual beings in temples.
He hadn't expected that this kind of item would also be classified as a pseudo-spiritual item.
“Take Lu Buyan, a master painter in Beijing, for example. Each of his paintings can sell for millions or even tens of millions of yuan. His painting skills are truly superb. In particular, in recent years, at least one out of every three of his paintings seems to possess a spiritual quality,” Lang Jiuping said with a slight sigh, giving an example.
He also has great respect for such masters. A painting can give birth to spirituality. What a realm that is!
"Are there really people like that?" Lin Yun asked in surprise.
He had only heard Xiaobai tell stories about such things, and he only listened to them as stories or legends. Even if such people existed, he estimated that perhaps only one would appear in many eras. He never expected that such a person would actually exist in this era.
Lu Buyan noted down the name, hoping to meet the person when he had the time and opportunity.
Spirituality is a very magical thing. A painting can give birth to spirituality, and he also wanted to know what kind of realm this was.
“Yes, not only Master Lu, but also some other people’s works can be imbued with spirituality, such as Master Jiuzhu in the sculpture world, and Master Li Ji in the calligraphy world…” Lang Jiuping nodded slightly and said.
And it's not just one person; there are actually people in the calligraphy world who can create a spiritual essence within their characters.
Lin Yun was truly shocked.
At that moment, he truly witnessed it.
Indeed, the Earth has a large and fascinating population, and it's possible to find all sorts of extraordinary people.
He truly admired these people.
Lang Jiuping's titles for these people are appropriate, and they truly deserve to be called masters.
Jiuzhu and Li Ji, he wrote down these two names again.
Similarly, given the time and opportunity, he plans to meet such people to see just how amazing they are and how high their artistic level is.
Upon hearing Lang Jiuping mention these people, his companions behind him also showed expressions of admiration.
As spirit seekers, they regard objects possessing spirituality as treasures, and they greatly admire those whose works can evoke spirituality.
Compared to ordinary people, those who know about the existence of spirituality understand the power of those people even more.
"Another type of pseudo-spiritual item is one that possesses a large amount of spiritual energy but lacks spirituality. Such items may be historical artifacts, so their value is not low, but they may not be historical artifacts at all. They may simply possess a lot of spiritual energy because many people like them, and they are not worth much money in themselves... Such items may also develop spirituality, and most spiritual items are born in this way. However, it is not easy for such items to develop spirituality, and it is also not easy for spirituality to stabilize. There are many variables involved, so apart from those historical artifacts, many are much less valuable..." Lang Jiuping continued.
"I understand." Lin Yun nodded slightly.
"I really have some things to take care of later. If you don't have anything else to do, you can stay here and we can talk in detail when I get back. Now I want to talk to you about a business matter. You should have examined that string of prayer beads beforehand. I can tell you definitively that the beads not only possess spirituality, but it's also better than ordinary spirituality. I wonder if you can obtain any more spiritual items of this level, or if you know of any other spiritual items of this caliber. These are all open to trade." Lin Yun paused before continuing.
"The spiritual energy within those prayer beads is even better than ordinary spiritual energy? Could it be that the spiritual energy within them is actually of a higher level?" A person suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise.
"High-level spirituality?" Lin Yun was slightly surprised.
Do these people really know that there are differences between different spiritual entities? If so, that makes things much easier. Since they know this, they must have seen this kind of item before, so they won't be searching blindly anymore.
“There are different kinds of spirituality. Items with high spirituality produce more magical effects. We’ve really lost out. High-level spiritual items can sell for at least seven or eight hundred million Chinese yuan!” One person nodded slightly, his tone full of regret.
The spiritual energy within those Buddhist prayer beads was actually of a high level? How come they didn't notice?
They actually managed to buy such a high-level spiritual item for 300 million... Even if they bought it for 500 million, they could still make 200 or 300 million in profit!
They won't give up even when Lin Yun shouts out 300 million!
If Lin Yun hadn't been there at this auction, he might have been able to buy this item for a cheaper price, two hundred million... or even less, and they would have made a huge profit!
This one missed opportunity means missing out on billions!
How could he not feel heartbroken?
"It's actually a high-level spiritual being!"
"What a pity!"
"We've suffered a huge loss!"
The group of people behind Lang Jiuping were also surprised, and then they all expressed their heartache. Some of them even looked at Lin Yun with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
If it weren't for Lin Yun, such a huge profit would have been theirs!
Once they buy that string of prayer beads, it's only a matter of time before they discover that the spiritual energy within them is of a high level!
Buying an item that seems to possess spiritual power, and then discovering that it actually does, is like finding a bargain!
Discovering spirituality is a high-level spirituality—that's an incredible find!
This kind of thing is extremely rare even among those who seek out spirits!
They actually missed out!
"The spirituality within those Buddhist beads... is actually high-level spirituality..." Lang Jiuping exclaimed in astonishment.
He felt a great sense of regret afterward, but as the leader of these people, he had a much better mindset and quickly overcame it.
"You don't need to say anything more. The fact that Mr. Lin was able to bid for that string of prayer beads is a testament to his skill. Just the fact that Mr. Lin was able to determine early on that the spiritual energy within those prayer beads was of a high level means that our loss this time is not a loss at all!" Lang Jiuping said to his companions.
"The rules of our spirit hunter circle only apply to those within our circle, preventing us from mutually damaging each other. In fact, we've already received this benefit at this auction. It's their right for outsiders to appear at the auction and bid on items. The auction house is a place where money reigns supreme. If someone has money, we can't be so domineering as to prevent them from getting a bargain, can we? Clearly, Mr. Lin has better vision and greater courage. This time, we should accept our defeat wholeheartedly!" Lang Jiuping said calmly after a pause.
Upon hearing Lang Jiuping's words, Lin Yun couldn't help but think more highly of him.
Given this contrast in mood, the fact that the other person can still analyze things in this way proves that this person has a good character.
The lie detection device on him allowed him to confirm that the other person's reasoning was not just empty talk, but a genuine statement.
What the other party said is correct.
The rules of the spirit hunter community apply only to those within the community.
If this rule is imposed on outsiders, then this circle is being far too domineering.
So, he'll have to think carefully before joining this circle.
Otherwise, it would be incredibly frustrating if he discovered some spiritually imbued objects that he couldn't photograph.
