Exceptional Talent for Spiritual Power

Wu Yun and Lin Dong walked inside.

A vast, ancient hall appeared before them.

Numerous counters filled the hall, each one piled with a dazzling array of goods.

Spiritual medicines, pills, weapons, Demonic Cores, martial arts manuals...

At a glance, all manner of items filled their view. Judging by their quality, none of them were ordinary.

"This is far more well-stocked than the Trading Post in Qingyang Town!" Wu Yun exclaimed.

Lin Dong said, "But they all look really expensive."

"Eh, what's this?"

The two were soon drawn to a blue cloth bag.

A price was marked on it.

"Low-Grade Cosmic Bag, forty-eight Yang Yuan Stones!"

"A bag costs that much?" Lin Dong muttered.

"Young sirs, this is a Low-Grade Cosmic Bag. It is made from Cosmic Wood and inscribed with runes by a Two-Seal Symbol Master. Though it may look small, it can hold items as large as this counter. Carrying one with you can save you a great deal of trouble."

Seeing that Wu Yun and Lin Dong seemed interested in the Cosmic Bag, the blue-clad attendant hurriedly introduced it with a smile.

Wu Yun said, "Do you have any more Cosmic Bags? We'll take two!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing Wu Yun ask for two right away, the blue-clad attendant quickly replied.

"We don't have Yang Yuan Stones, but we have this." Wu Yun took a bottle of pills from his robe. They had been refined from Third-Grade Spiritual Medicine.

These Third-Grade Pills were no longer very effective for them.

Before long, a manager came to appraise the pills. After some bargaining, they traded fifteen pills for two Cosmic Bags.

The two took the Cosmic Bags and immediately tried them out, storing away everything they had bought earlier.

"Really convenient and practical!" Wu Yun said in satisfaction.

"Big Brother, what was that Rune Master he mentioned? It sounds amazing, to be able to refine something like this," Lin Dong asked curiously.

The profession of a Rune Master seemed very profitable too!

Wu Yun said, "I heard my master mention it before. The path of martial cultivation has spawned many side branches, and Rune Masters are one of them. In essence, a Rune Master merely uses Primal Force in a different way. The only difference is that this method requires Spiritual Power as a driving force, allowing one to condense Heaven and Earth Yuan Power into peculiar runes."

"What is Spiritual Power?"

"Spiritual Power is also a kind of strength... Let's go. You'll learn about it all eventually!"

"Big Brother really knows so much!"

Lin Dong admired him greatly, while Wu Yun merely smiled faintly. Lin Dong had not even left the novice village yet, so naturally he knew very little.

Yet in the future, he would become a master of Spiritual Power!

"Big Brother, these runes are so strange!"

Lin Dong stared at the runes on the Cosmic Bag and gradually became entranced, sinking into them.

As expected of a Child of Destiny. He's already showing such powerful talent the moment he encounters runes, Wu Yun secretly marveled. Lin Dong had actually produced a spiritual reaction upon seeing runes for the first time.

As Lin Dong studied the runes on the Cosmic Bag and stirred his own Spiritual Power, an elderly man in gray robes dozing in a corner of the Exotic Item Tower's hall suddenly opened his eyes. He turned toward Lin Dong, his gaze locking onto him as intense shock flashed through his eyes.

"Such powerful spiritual talent!" the old man murmured.

"I'll take a look too!"

Curious, Wu Yun also began studying the runes on the Cosmic Bag.

"Hmm... there really is something to them!"

In just three seconds, Wu Yun had already discerned something from them.

Vaguely, he felt the view around him blur, while the runes on the Cosmic Bag became increasingly clear.

In that strange state, a peculiar ripple suddenly arose in Wu Yun's mind.

Could this be Spiritual Power?

At that moment, invisible strands of Spiritual Power seeped out from his mind. They slowly began to trace themselves before him, forming the very rune he had just seen.

"Hmm... there's an even stronger one!"

The old man shifted his astonished gaze to Wu Yun.

Lin Dong had only traced half of the rune, but Wu Yun had traced the entire thing.

"His Spiritual Power is extraordinary!"

Master Yan sighed.

Lin Dong's Spiritual Power was still within the range of ordinary people, but Wu Yun's had already surpassed that range—perhaps even reaching twice that of an ordinary person.

When Lin Dong awoke from that strange state, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

Still shaken, he looked toward Wu Yun. Seeing that Wu Yun was also in the same state he had just experienced, he quietly waited.

Lin Dong said, "Big Brother looks completely at ease. As expected of Big Brother."

Soon, Wu Yun also awoke from that state.

Lin Dong asked, "How was it, Big Brother? Did you trace that strange rune completely?"

Wu Yun said, "Mm. What about you?"

Lin Dong said, "I only traced half of it before I couldn't take it anymore."

Strange. Could it be that I also have talent for Spiritual Power? Wu Yun wondered.

From the sound of it, his talent for Spiritual Power was even greater than Lin Dong's.

Lin Dong would become a figure on the level of the Symbol Ancestor in the future.

If the original Wu Yun had possessed such incredible Spiritual Power talent, he could not possibly have remained unknown after leaving the novice village.

It must be because I transmigrated.

Wu Yun realized that Spiritual Power was, to some extent, the power of the soul and will. Since he had fused with the original owner's memories, it naturally meant that he had fused with the original owner's soul as well.

"Hey, did you sell these pills?"

A crisp yet somewhat arrogant voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Wu Yun and Lin Dong's conversation.

The two turned around. Behind the counter beside the one where they had bought the Cosmic Bags, a woman in a light red dress held the bottle of pills Wu Yun had offered earlier as she questioned them.

"Mm, that's right."

"Do you have any more? I want to buy more from you!" the woman in red said.

"Sorry, they're gone."

Wu Yun refused without hesitation. "You must have more. Don't worry, sell them to me, and I'll offer you a satisfactory price!" The woman pressed on, her expression already turning unpleasant.

Clearly, she was rarely refused!

"I already said they're gone. If you don't believe me, you can come search me." Wu Yun spread his hands and said shamelessly.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? How dare you molest Qing Xu?"

At that moment, a handsome young man in brocade robes strode over. He looked at Wu Yun and Lin Dong with disdain, then turned to the woman in red with enthusiasm.

"Hehe, Qing Xu, if you need pills, you only need to tell me. Why bother buying them from anyone else?"

The woman in red furrowed her willow-like brows, clearly impatient with this young master.

Great, another rich second-generation simp... Wu Yun shook his head slightly.

Why did I say 'another'?

This kind of routine was far too common.

Clearly, this rich second-generation heir wanted to use Wu Yun and Lin Dong as stepping stones to impress the goddess.

"Sigh, let's go!"

Wu Yun grabbed Lin Dong and prepared to leave. They really were country bumpkins right now, and they could not afford to play with these city folk.
