5 Chapter 5 Spirit Crystals

The universe was infinite and boundless, hosting countless civilizations.

The Cosmic Trading System was the first super trading system to cover the entire universe, a system crafted by the Eight Great Super Civilizations and seventy-two Super Warriors using spatial turbulence.

The aim was to allow resources from countless civilizations in the universe to flow to one another, enhancing the development of all civilizations.

However, to avoid cutthroat competition, the number of Cosmic Trading System terminals was limited.

Excluding those advanced civilizations with strong regulation, in a low-civilization area like Earth, one system terminal was distributed for every ten to a hundred thousand light-years radius.

That night, the shooting star Lin Yun spotted was the incoming Cosmic Trading System terminal from space.

Given that one system terminal was allotted for every ten to a hundred thousand light-years radius, Lin Yun was incredibly lucky to have received one.

The primary circulating currency in the Cosmic Trading System was surprisingly something called Spirit Crystals.

According to the system's explanation, spiritual energy was the most direct form of energy that could empower all lives.

Many beings instinctively absorb various energies from the world and convert them into spiritual energy to strengthen themselves. Among these, intelligent beings have better advantage, the more intelligent the being, the quicker they can absorb various energies and convert them into spiritual energy.

For humans, eating and drinking were methods of absorbing various energies from the world. As they ate and drank, a person's energy would increase rapidly. Other animals followed a similar pattern, the only difference being that they weren't as intelligent as humans, making their efficiency of absorbing and converting spiritual energy lesser.

Plants are also part of life, but they have little to no consciousness resulting in their slow absorption and conversion of spiritual energy.

However, the majority of lives lacked the methods to actively absorb spiritual energy. The spiritual energy they absorbed and converted from natural energies often dissipated naturally. Only a minuscule amount integrated into the individual lives, and even then, it contained many impurities. The infusion of spiritual energy aided a life in growing, but the infusion of impurities caused a life to age.

Absorbing the various energies in the world, converting them into spiritual energy, then constantly releasing spiritual energy… this was a natural cycle for countless lives in the universe.

At first, the vast majority of life in the universe did not understand how to independently absorb and refine spiritual energy, which resulted in short life spans.

Later, methods of absorbing and refining spiritual energy were discovered and gradually improved. The life span of intelligent lives was extended, and the development of many civilizations began to truly explode.

Spirit Crystals—pure spiritual energy crystals formed by various methods!

They could be easily absorbed by all life forms and were the most direct energy that could strengthen them!

Consequently, it naturally became the most steadfast currency for countless civilizations!

"The power of one person... could reach such a level. Eight Great Super Civilizations, seventy-two Super Warriors..."

As Lin Yun watched the scenes unveiling in his mind, his heart swelled with emotion.

With a slight move, they could annihilate the heavens and the earth, alter the environment of a star system. The power shown by the seventy-two Super Warriors of the Eight Great Super Civilizations, wasn't it magnificent?

Wasn't this implying that as long as he obtained the method of absorbing and refining spiritual energy, he too could possess such formidable power?

No, he did not need to be that powerful, having even one-ten-thousandth of their power would satisfy him!

Moreover, their long life spans… since ancient times, how many emperors lost themselves in pursuit of longevity?

The thing that most excited Lin Yun was the method of refining Spirit Crystals!

After all, Spirit Crystals were the primary currency of the Cosmic Trading System!

Without this kind of currency, it would not be easy for him to use the Cosmic Trading System to purchase things from other civilizations!

Every life form absorbs various energies, naturally converting them into spiritual energy whilst simultaneously naturally releasing many spiritual energies. This was a natural law!

So, many civilizations developed devices that could absorb spiritual energy from the air and refine it into pure Spirit Crystals!

The Cosmic Trading System terminals had the ability to automatically absorb spiritual energy from the surrounding air and refine it into pure spiritual energy to recharge the system's currency!

"Every life form emits spiritual energy naturally? The more intelligent the life form, the more spiritual energy it emits?"

A joyous feeling sprung up in Lin Yun's heart.

With nearly ten billion people on Earth, all intelligent beings, would he lack sources of spiritual energy?

With an infinite source of currency flowing into the Cosmic Trading System, was he still afraid that he wouldn't be able to buy good things from the system?

In an instant, Lin Yun was filled with ambitious zeal.

...

"Galactic Civilization communication equipment production line, sold for one Spirit Crystal. Integrates the technology of thousands of low-level civilizations, capable of producing hundreds of communication devices suitable for low-level civilizations and various accessories, most suitable for beginners of low-level civilizations..."

"Proud Emperor Civilization's Martial Arts Pills, different levels, different prices. Proud Emperor's products are guaranteed to be high quality, suitable for customers of various high and low civilizations to purchase..."

"Azure Civilization's Low-Level Cosmos Spaceship, at top speed can reach one-tenth the speed of light, most suitable for short-distance navigation. A basic model only costs a thousand Spirit Crystals, come one, come all, take a look..."

"The most powerful Mech Armor of the Alpha Galaxy, sold for ten million Spirit Crystals. Once you own it, you'll understand what it means to be invincible..."

...

Lin Yun reviewed the numerous trading information with his mind, resultantly making his "eyes" blurry.

The Cosmic Trading System had so many good things.

Many items, even if he obtained any one of them, could create an uproar on the entire Earth, even dominate the whole planet.

"It's a pity about the Spirit Crystals..."

Lin Yun bitterly laughed.

At this moment, he realized that the Cosmic Trading System, after all, wasn't a professional device to absorb and refine spiritual energy. It could only refine the spiritual energy of a thirty-meter radius, and Spirit Crystals weren't easy to come by. Under Spirit Crystals, there were also units of Spirit Energy Points.

A hundred Spirit Energy Points equaled one Spirit Crystal.

In one day, he only obtained 0.1 Spirit Energy Points.

At this rate, he would need three years to amass one Spirit Crystal and to buy one Galactic Civilization communication equipment production line.

The Galactic Civilization's communication equipment production line was the item Lin Yun was interested in.

Since he was in the electronic products business, once he read the introduction of the Galactic Civilization's communication equipment production line, he saw that it could produce items similar to Earth's communication products and various accessories.

"However, on this day, I mostly remained in places with fewer people. Only the hospital had more, but that's also limited. Up next, I need to go to crowded places. The speed at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbs and refines spiritual energy will multiply..."

Lin Yun muttered to himself.

Thinking about the bustling scenes in the Qinglong District's electronic wholesale markets, flashes of light sparked in the depths of Lin Yun's eyes.

Moreover, in the beginning, he did not need to buy the communication equipment production line. He could first buy some products they produced. That way, the price would be much lower.

A tall building rises from the ground!

Martial Arts Pills, Cosmos Spaceship, Mech Armor...

These were all things he yearned for, but without a certain foundation, these things would be of little use even if he did get them!

He would just take it one step at a time!
