Lin Yun was very tempted by Lang Jiu Ping's words.
In the past few days, he had looked for spirituality in many places but had found very little.
If he could join this circle, it would be much easier for him to find spirituality again.
Advanced spiritual energy is something that money can't buy. It won't be long before he plans to buy a piece of equipment that absorbs and refines spiritual energy in a different way. At that time, just second-level spiritual energy will not be enough.
He urgently needed to find a higher level of spirituality.
However, he was not familiar with this spiritual seeker circle, and if he ventured in... he wondered if there would be any accidents...
'Let's not talk about that for now. You should know... there should be some difference between special items and special items, right? Otherwise, at the auction earlier, you wouldn't have been willing to pay low prices for some items and high prices for others...' Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.
'Mr Lin, the reason we are called spirit seekers is because our goal is to find items with true spirituality. Some of these items may look like they have spirituality, but in fact they are just pseudo-spiritual items. Mr Lin may have already discovered this...' Lang Juping said with a slight smile.
Anyone who regularly comes into contact with these types of items will discover this sooner or later. Lin Yun should have also discovered this from what he said, so there is nothing he needs to hide in his words.
'Pseudo-spiritual items?' Lin Yun muttered.
He knew that the pseudo-spiritual items this person was talking about should be items that possess a large amount of spiritual energy but lack spirituality. At first glance, these items seem to possess spirituality, but if they are left in an unoccupied place for a period of time, it will be discovered that the spiritual energy on them will soon dissipate completely. It is not an exaggeration to call them pseudo-spiritual items.
'Pseudo-spiritual items are also different from pseudo-spiritual items. Some items do possess spirituality, but that spirituality is too weak and unstable. It may grow and stabilise, or it may slowly dissipate... Such items also have a certain value, and they are mostly found in some recent era items. In fact, they are even the direct works of some celebrities nowadays,' said Lang Juping, pausing for a moment.
'Such items...' Lin Yun said in surprise.
The spirituality of an object, once it is born, is generally very weak. Xiaobai once told him about this, and the Universal Trading System also introduced this kind of spirituality. This kind of spirituality does not belong to the unclassified spirituality.
Spirituality is unstable, and it is very likely to disappear, or it may break through to the first level and stabilise.
The price of this kind of spirituality on the cosmic trading system ranges from a few spiritual crystals to tens of spiritual crystals, depending on the manifestation of spirituality.
During this period, Lin Yun has been looking for mature spirituality, high-level spirituality, so he mostly looks for it in temples and antiques. The spirituality in antiques has mostly broken through to the first level.
He has seen a few of these spiritualities in temples.
He didn't realize that this kind of item was also classified as a pseudo-spirituality item.
'For example, the master of painting in the capital, Master Lu Bujian, can sell each of his paintings for millions or even tens of millions of dollars. His painting skills are truly superb. In particular, in recent years, at least one of his three paintings can give birth to spirituality.' Lang Jiu ping gave an example and sighed slightly.
He also has great respect for such masters. How high a realm is it to be able to give birth to spirituality in a painting?
'Is there really such a person?' Lin Yun exclaimed.
He had only heard such things in stories told by Xiaobai, and he had only listened to them as stories, as legends. Even if there were such people, he didn't think that they would necessarily appear in many eras. He never imagined that there would actually be such a person in this era.
Lu didn't say anything, but he wrote down the name. If he had the time and opportunity, he could go and meet the person.
Spirituality is a very amazing thing. A painting can give birth to spirituality. He also wanted to know what realm this was.
'Well, not only Master Lu, but also the works of some other people can give birth to spirituality, such as the master of the nine pillars in the world of sculpture, and the master Li Ji in the world of calligraphy...' Lang Jiu Ping nodded slightly and said.
Not only one person, and, what's more, there are really people in the world of calligraphy who can give birth to spirituality in their words?
Lin Yun was truly shocked.
At this moment, he really gained some insight.
Indeed, the population of the Blue Star is large, and it is truly amazing, with the possibility of having any kind of extraordinary person.
He truly admired these people.
Lang Jiu Ping's name for these people was not bad, and these people could indeed be called masters.
Nine Pillars, Li Ji, he once again wrote down these two names.
Likewise, when he had the time and opportunity, he planned to meet such people and see just how amazing they were and what level of artistic mastery they had reached.
When Lang Jiu Ping mentioned these people, those around him also revealed expressions of admiration.
As spirit seekers, they treat spirit-possessed items like treasures, and they also admire the people who can give birth to the spirit in such works.
Compared to ordinary people, those of them who know the existence of spirituality understand even better the awesome power of those people.
'Another kind of pseudo-spiritual item is one that has a lot of spiritual energy but no spirituality. Such an item, because it may be a historical famous item in itself, is not cheap, but it may not be a historical item either, and it is just purely liked by many people that it has so much spiritual energy. It is not worth much in itself... Such an item can also be imbued with spirituality. Most items that possess spirituality are born this way, but it is not easy for such items to be imbued with spirituality, nor is it easy for spirituality to stabilise. There are many variables involved, so apart from those historical items, the value of many is much lower...' Lang Jiu Ping continued.
'I understand,' Lin Yun nodded slightly.
'I really have something to do later. If you don't have anything else to do, you can stay here and we can talk in detail when I get back. I'll tell you about a business matter now. You should have checked the rosary beads beforehand. I can tell you for sure that they not only have spirituality, but also have a little more spirituality than ordinary ones. I wonder if you can get spiritual items of this level again, or if you know where there are spiritual items of this level. These can be traded.' Lin Yun paused for a moment before continuing.
'The spiritual energy within that string of Buddhist prayer beads is even better than ordinary spiritual energy? Could it be that the spiritual energy within is actually high-level spiritual energy?' One person suddenly sat up in surprise.
'High-level spiritual energy?' Lin Yun was slightly surprised.
These people really knew that there was a difference between spiritual energy and spiritual energy? In that case, it would be even better. Since these people knew this, they must have seen this kind of item before, so if he looked for it again, he wouldn't be looking blindly.
'There is also a difference between spiritualities. Those items with high-level spiritualities produce even more miraculous effects. We have really lost out this time. High-level spiritual items can at least sell for 700 to 800 million Dashiyuan!' One person nodded slightly, his tone full of regret.
The spiritual energy within that string of Buddhist prayer beads was actually high-level spiritual energy? How come they didn't notice?
They even let Lin Yun buy this high-level spiritual item for 300 million... Even if they bought it for 500 million, they could still make 200-300 million!
They wouldn't have given up when Lin Yun called 300 million!
If, at this auction, it wasn't Lin Yun there, he might have been able to buy this item even cheaper, for 200 million... or even less, and they would have made a huge profit!
This is a missed opportunity that is worth billions!
How could he not feel a sense of loss?
"It's actually high-level spirituality!'
'What a pity!'
'What a big loss!'
The group of people behind Lang Jiu Ping were also surprised, and then they all said with a heavy heart, and some even looked at Lin Yun, their eyes about to burst into flames.
If it wasn't Lin Yun, such a big benefit would have been theirs!
As long as they bought the string of Buddhist beads, they would discover that the spirituality within the string of Buddhist beads was high-level spirituality, it was only a matter of time!
Buying an item that is suspected of having spirituality and discovering that it has spirituality is a bargain!
And discovering that the spirituality was high-level spirituality was a super bargain!
This kind of thing is also very rare in their spiritual seeker circles!
How could they have missed it like that!
'The spirituality within that string of Buddhist beads... turned out to be high-level spirituality...' Lang Jiu Ping was also very shocked.
Then, he felt a great sense of regret, but after all, he was the leader of these people, and his mentality was much better, and he quickly got rid of this mentality.
'You don't need to say anything else. That string of Buddhist beads can be photographed by Mr. Lin. This is Mr. Lin's ability. He alone was able to determine early on that the spirituality within that string of Buddhist beads is high-level spirituality. We have not lost this time!' Lang Jiuping looked at his companions and said.
'The rules of our spiritual seeker community only apply to people in our community, so that people in our community can avoid mutual destruction. At this auction, we have actually received this benefit. People outside the community appear in the auction hall and bid on items. This is their right. The auction hall is a place where financial power is king. Obviously, Mr. Lin has a better eye and more courage. We should be convinced that we have lost this time!' After a pause, Lang Jiu Ping said very calmly.
Hearing Lang Jiu Ping say these words, Lin Yun couldn't help but look at the other party with high regard.
With this kind of contrast in mood, the other party could still analyse such a rationale, which could prove that this person's character was not bad.
The lie-detecting equipment on him could let him be sure that the rationale the other party had spoken was not just words to impress, but the truth.
The other party was right.
The rules of the spiritual seeker circle were for people within the circle.
If this rule is forced on outsiders, then this circle is too domineering.
In that case, if he wants to join this circle, he still needs to think about it carefully.
Otherwise, if he discovers one day that he cannot photograph items with spiritual properties, that would be too frustrating.
