Cosmic Trading System

Chapter 211: Chapter 197: Turns Out There's a Backstory



Indeed, the volume of this white light ball was smaller than that of the one within the deity's statue, the spiritual energy it contained was also much inferior.

When the count of Spirit Crystals increased by about thirty-eight, Lin Yun recognized that there wasn't much spiritual energy left within the white light ball.

Upon absorbing another five or six Spirit Crystals, the white light ball began to tremble slightly.

Lin Yun felt that this tremor was different from the innate slight trembling of the white light ball in the spirit body of the deity's statue that he had absorbed earlier.

It was a tremble of overdraft.

A sense of fear and persistence, along Lin Yun's mental strength, made him realize.

Lin Yun immediately stopped absorbing the spiritual energy from this white light ball.

At the same time, he felt a twinge of guilt.

Perhaps because Little White's spirituality level was comparatively low, or because the spiritual energy on Little White's body was not as condensed as the spiritual energy in that earlier spirit body.

Although it wasn't in the trading space, the spiritual energy on Little White's body was easier to absorb than the spiritual energy in that earlier spirit body.

Furthermore, Little White didn't have much spiritual energy on its body so, losing control, Lin Yun had absorbed a bit too much.

"Brother, have you absorbed enough..." Little White's weak voice transmitted when it saw Lin Yun stop absorbing.

"Have I absorbed too much..." Lin Yun said, rather awkwardly.

"No, as long as brother doesn't take us away, brother, could you absorb a bit more of my spiritual energy and take less from Little Blue..." The barely glowing Little White trembled slightly and continued to speak.

"Whimper, brother, please stop absorbing the spiritual energy from Little White, take it from Little Blue, you can take more, if you keep absorbing from Little White, it will get hurt..." Just then, Little Blue's crying voice transmitted from the other side.

"Um..."

At that moment, Lin Yun truly felt remorse.

In the end, these two spirit bodies were not unconscious.

They were intelligent spirit bodies.

Their level of intelligence was even similar to that of humans.

This made it difficult for Lin Yun to treat them as he would animals and plants without high intelligence.

His present behavior was no different than stealing from others, wasn't it?

Moreover, he was plundering from two "children"?

Even causing these two "children" to get hurt?

These two "children" even behaved in a very sensible manner.

"I'm sorry, perhaps I shouldn't have absorbed your spiritual energy, I'll return the recently absorbed spiritual energy to you now," Lin Yun sighed slightly as he spoke.

While he spoke, Lin Yun began to return pure spiritual energy back to Little White through the Cosmic Trading System.

The spiritual energy he had just absorbed from Little White's body had already been refined by the Cosmic Trading System, but he could return the pure spiritual energy.

"This... this... this spiritual energy... so pure..." Little White's amazed voice came forth, stuttering.

"Wow, this spiritual energy, it's so delicious, so comfortable..." Soon, an excited childlike voice transmitted which belonged to Little White.

Lin Yun sensed that the white light ball that had started to faint within the big tree began to quickly solidify, and the white light also began to get brighter and brighter.

As Little White was absorbing external spiritual energy on its own this time and did not have the powerful abilities of the Cosmic Trading System, it was absorbing slowly.

"You don't need to, brother, it's too much, too much..." Approximately a minute later, the excited Little White gradually calmed down and spoke.

"Hm?"

Lin Yun was taken aback.

Right now, he had only returned spiritual energy equivalent to two or three Spirit Crystals, right?

"Brother, Little White has already absorbed enough, if you keep transmitting spiritual energy, this energy will disappear and go to waste," Little White explained.

"You've really already absorbed enough? This spiritual energy is much lesser than what I absorbed from you just before!" Lin Yun asked.

"Little White really has absorbed to fullness, Brother doesn't know, the spiritual energy of mine that you absorbed earlier had very mixed properties, it was hard for Little White to absorb, the spiritual energy that Brother just transmitted was very pure, Little White could absorb it easily...

Even if I were to absorb my original spiritual energy slowly, I may not end up with as much energy as Brother just transmitted..." Little White thought for a moment and said.

"This pure spiritual energy, it must not have been easy for Brother to acquire... Little White absorbed all of it... Little White... Little White..." At this point, Little White spoke weakly.

"It's fine, it's not difficult for Brother to acquire this pure spiritual energy." Lin Yun smiled lightly and said.

Then, Lin Yun asked a curious question, "Just now you said, if I keep transmitting this spiritual energy to you, it would disappear and go to waste, you can't keep it around you to absorb slowly like before?"

"With attributed spiritual energy, Little Blue and I can keep them, but not too much. We are too weak, Brother, this kind of pure spiritual energy, it dissipates very quickly, Little Blue and I can't keep it..." Little White explained.

"You and Little Blue seem to know quite a bit, how did you two develop spirituality?" Lin Yun nodded slightly, revealing his thoughts as he continued with his inquiry.

"About this..." Little White hesitated.

"So, can't you talk about it?" Lin Yun asked with increased curiosity.

"Little White and Little Blue can't tell. We promised Granny," Little White said, sounding conflicted.

"Hmm, Little White and Little Blue can't tell," Little Blue added hastily at this time.

Lin Yun became even more curious. Experience tales at m v|l e'm,p| y- r

So, was the intelligence of Little White and Little Blue not just a coincidence?

Granny?

Listening to the childish speech of Little White and Little Blue, Lin Yun laughed.

These two spirits didn't realize that they were revealing some information.

"Alright, if you can't tell, you can't tell," Stifling the curiosity in his heart, Lin Yun nodded slightly.

Whoever could create these spiritual-like beings was definitely not simple.

Despite having gained the Cosmic Trading System, he still hadn't fully developed, so he didn't really want to get involved with such characters.

Thinking about this, he felt slightly relieved.

Thankfully, he didn't harm these two spirits. He hadn't expected these two spirits to have such a background. If he had done anything to them, who knew what could have happened.

However, at this time, he suddenly thought of something.

His heart tightened a little.

He did not harm these two spirits, but he did take the spirit in the statue.

The level of that spirit was even higher than Little White and Little Blue.

He wondered if the spirit in the statue had any connection with the "Granny" Little White talked about. If he had taken that spirit, what would "Granny's" reaction be?

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yun quickly asked, "Right, Little White, the spirit in the statue, and the Granny you mentioned..."

"It's alright, that spirit, Granny said others could take it. Granny said it might distract people from noticing Little White and Little Blue, perhaps it could protect Little White and Little Blue once, but I didn't expect Brother to be so clever, and he found Little White and Little Blue right away..." Little White, knowing what Lin Yun wanted to ask, said in haste.

"I see..." Lin Yun contemplated.

He had no reason to doubt Little White's words, as the exchange was happening through spiritual fluctuations making it hard to lie. Plus, he had a lie detector which was designed to detect spiritual fluctuations. The presence of abnormal behavior in Little White and Little Blue was therefore easily ruled out.

"Brother, is it really not difficult to gain pure spiritual energy that you just transmitted?" At this time, Little White hesitated to ask.

"What's the matter?" Lin Yun asked.

"Could you transfer some of that pure spiritual energy to Little Blue, and in return you can absorb the same amount from Little Blue as you did from me..." suggested Little White.

"No problem at all." Lin Yun gave a faint smile and replied.

Gaining more than forty Spirit Crystals by returning only two or three was an incredibly good deal.

If such opportunities existed, he would love to have a few more.

As this act would cause no harm to these two spirits, on the contrary it was beneficial for them, he felt even less burdened doing it.

Soon, Lin Yun walked up to the big tree where Little Blue was residing and began to absorb the spiritual energy from Little Blue.

In fact, ever since he arrived at this temple, he had been touching these two big trees.

Even though many tourists like to touch these two big trees after the tour guide's explanation, it was unusual for someone like Lin Yun to touch them constantly for a long stretch of time and keep coming back.

His behavior made the tour guide watch him with suspicious interest. Although her expression didn't change, she found it a bit strange.

The quirks of these rich people are really strange, she thought to herself.

At this time, she had finished the introduction of this scenic spot and was racking her brains for other interesting stories to tell.

Since Lin Yun's party had paid reasonably well and asked her not to rush, she didn't dare to slack off.

Both Lin Duoer and Xia Qingqing had been taught by Lin Yun the method of cultivating spiritual energy, and they both had a trace of mental strength in their consciousness. They could faintly sense the fluctuations of mental strength from Lin Yun.

They were not fools and could guess that Lin Yun was up to something.

However, they didn't mention it in front of all these people.

Instead, they continued to wander around with Zhong Ling, laughing and chatting, without urging Lin Yun to leave.

The guards wouldn't dare to say anything either.

No matter how long Lin Yun wanted to stay there — for a day or even a night — all they needed to do was accompany him well.
