Chapter 315 : A Higher Level of Spirituality (3rd update!)
This city was the capital of India, and it was also a prosperous place.
He decided to go to Antique Street first, then to a place of worship.
Lin Yun made up his mind.
As he wandered around, Lin Yun made great discoveries.
He easily found an item with a Level-2 spirituality in Antique Street, which he then bought for eight hundred thousand US dollars.
Most antique items were not very expensive. At a price of eight hundred thousand US dollars, it was considered a top-tier antique. The shop owner was very respectful and ingratiating towards Lin Yun for his generous purchase.
Later, Lin Yun found another three items with a Level-1 spirituality, which he bought for a total of two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars.
After leaving Antique Street, Lin Yun headed to the place of worship.
Buddhism was famous worldwide, and India was its birthplace. However, most Indians no longer believed in Buddhism. They followed Hinduism, also known as Brahmanism.
It was said that eighty percent of the 1.3 billion Indians were Hindu believers.
"Three places, a total of six spirit-items found. Of which, five were Level-1 spirituality, one was Level-2 spirituality... The spiritual energy wasn't very noticeable elsewhere in the city, but in those places of worship, I could clearly feel the spiritual energy flowing towards those statues..."
Lin Yun thought to himself as he left those holy places.
The amount of spiritual energy emitted by Indians was higher, which was likely due to their larger religious population.
Religious people had purer minds. Their devotion made their spiritual energy have a sense of active dedication. Conscious dedication versus unconscious emission, there was a vast difference between the two.
In Huaxia, Island Country, and the United States, a much smaller proportion of the population were religious, so people there did not emit as much spiritual energy on a regular basis.
Lin Yun made the same discovery on the Cosmic Trading System.
In the expansive universe, out of countless civilizations, some were religious civilizations, with societal structures completely based on religion. The upper echelon of these pyramids advanced their practice using this method.
However, such civilizations didn't develop well, and could easily collapse if they weren't careful.
Moreover, this mode of development could easily limit people's thinking, which was detrimental to the development of civilization.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Therefore, such civilizations were not mainstream in the universe.
Lin Yun wasn't clear if anyone else was interested in the spirit-items in these places of worship, so he didn't assertively take them.
He simply made a mental note. If he desperately needed high-level spirit-items one day, he would know where to search.
"Apart from religious places, there's another factor at play — the climate of India. There is a saying, 'All things grow under the sun.' Lifeforms grow faster and better in summer than in winter. The temperature here is relatively high throughout the year, so all kinds of lifeforms here grow quite vigorously, hence the greater amount of spiritual energy emitted.
Over time, this has likely become a part of their genetic makeup. Even under the same sunny, warm conditions elsewhere, they still emit more spiritual energy..."
Lin Yun contemplated further.
All these factors combined made Indians emit spiritual energy at a much faster pace than people from other places.
However, this wasn't necessarily a good thing.
After all, spiritual energy is the essence of a lifeform. If too much is lost, exceeding the lifeform's capacity, it would hinder its growth.
But Indians seemed to be doing fine, indicating they must have a considerable capacity to take it.
In other words, solely in terms of vitality, their vitality could perhaps surpass many others, including Huaxia people.
This was somewhat corroborated by the base established by Zhao Gang.
There were orphans of different races — yellow, white, and black — from various countries at that base. India being a neighboring country, there were naturally orphans from there too.
Their cultivation speed seemed to be slightly faster than the others.
It was just not very noticeable due to the short duration.
"Looking at it this way, this place, this country, indeed seems better suited to be developed into a base…"
Lin Yun shook his head.
He had read online novels that portrayed Huaxia people as the descendants of dragons with many special characteristics... But this was reality.
Perhaps, the people of Huaxia, truly had something special, it just needed to be discovered.
He really wanted to develop in Huaxia, but alas, some people didn't want him to flourish there.
Huaxia was his homeland, and he didn't want to stir up too much trouble there.
He would start growing here, then expand to other countries one by one...
Huaxia would have to be put on hold for now...
Lin Yun thought to himself.
Having discovered the reason why Indians exhibited a higher amount of Spiritual Energy and made significant gains, Lin Yun returned to his small courtyard and continued his martial arts training.
This trip was more of a breather for him.
Because, next, he was planning to make big moves.
"Hum——"
Ten minutes later, Lin Yun's punches and kicks suddenly underwent a significant transformation, a unique sound also originated from his fist and feet.
It was another martial arts skill that he had advanced to the Intermediate Level.
This time, he didn't cultivate it himself, instead, he had spent a hundred Spirit Crystals to rapidly learn through the Cosmic Trading System.
Now, he was acquiring Spirit Crystals at a very fast pace, even the advanced spirituality was falling behind.
Lin Yun had changed his outlook.
He didn't need to rush, he really didn't need to rush.
He could devote some of his energy to Martial Arts...
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
By now, it had been almost ten days since Lin Yun wiped out the Lu Family and the Mie Family.
In these three days, he purchased two more professional devices for absorbing and refining Spiritual Energy, integrated these devices into second-level spirituality, and placed them in two cities in India.
At this point, just relying on these devices and the ability of the Cosmic Trading System itself to absorb and refine Spiritual Energy, the Spirit Crystals he obtained daily had already reached about 6500 Spirit Crystals.
Within these three days, Lin Yun had advanced thirty first-level martial arts skills from beginner level to Intermediate Level. In addition, he had also advanced three first-level martial arts skills from Intermediate Level to Grand Mastery Level.
As a result, Lin Yun's strength had greatly improved.
Although Lin Yun had not yet broken through to the middle stage of Dark Strength, he estimated that a strong individual at the peak state of Dark Strength was no longer his match.
Now, Lin Yun's Cosmic Trading System contained 5600 Spirit Crystals.
All thanks to Lin Si, who continuously transported various resources from other areas which he sold on the Cosmic Trading System, otherwise, he wouldn't have so many Spirit Crystals left.
"I have run out of new second-level spirit-items. In India, within a radius of thirty kilometers, there are almost no places with a population exceeding twenty million, apart from this city where I am staying. With these more than five thousand Spirit Crystals, should I purchase more devices for absorbing and refining Spiritual Energy, or should I buy something else..."
One day, Lin Yun paused his training and began to contemplate.
Ever since he acquired those four items with high-level spirituality, in the next few days, Lang Jiuping and his team hadn't found any new items with advanced spirituality.
"Hmm?"
Just as Lin Yun was thinking, a ringing sound suddenly rang. Lin Yun picked up his phone to look, it was a call from Lang Jiuping.
"Just when you think about it, it happens. Could it be that they have found a new high-level spirit-item?" Lin Yun slightly smiled and casually answered the phone.
"Mr. Lin, I have a very important piece of information to tell you, it has to do with higher-level spirit-items…" At once, the excited voice of Lang Jiuping came from the other side of the phone.
"Information? Haven't you obtained that item? That's good, tell me the information about the item, I'll see the situation…" After a brief moment, Lin Yun nodded.
"No, Mr. Lin, this item isn't ordinary, but…it possesses a higher level of spirituality, even surpassing the spirituality of those items we previously traded to you," Lang Jiuping hurriedly said.
"The spirituality level surpasses those items we previously traded?" Lin Yun's face subtly changed as he hurriedly replied.
