Chapter 131: Chapter 131: The Most Difficult Martial Arts Direction
No matter what, Lin Yun had this time earned a profit of more than seventy million US dollars, enough to cover the cost of his initiation into the basic knowledge of the futures market.
More than seventy million USD, converted into Huaxia Currency, was more than four hundred million.
If he had to buy gold, a hundred Spirit Crystals would be more than enough, and if he had to buy other resources, it would be manageable.
Also, he could always continue to use this knowledge in the future.
Although the foreign futures market was more intense than Lin Yun had expected, it was not something that couldn't be solved.
Lin Yun had already studied the data on the foreign gold futures in these days, and he began to research today's trends.
"Now start short-selling, the safety point is between this data and that data. If it gets to this point, immediately start to unwind and then start to go long, but don't draw attention. If it gets to this point..."
Lin Yun began to explain today's task to these people.
Keeping an eye on the stock market all the time was unrealistic, but it was possible for them to execute some operations that would yield stable profits.
However, this meant that the pace of profit-making would be slower, and the profit these traders could make in several days might not even match the profit Lin Yun had made in just a few minutes.
But, what had just happened was an exception. Such circumstances wouldn't come by very often, and it was a risky move. Any slight carelessness could lead to big losses.
This was the normal state of affairs for a trader. Acquiring stable profits rather than seeking massive returns. Doing this over a long-term would result in staggering compound interest.
"Yes, yes." The traders were nodding their heads, taking note of what Lin Yun was saying.
Now, they were looking at Lin Yun as if he were a deity.
He had made more than seventy million USD in just a few minutes, virtually doubling such a colossal sum of money. The impact Lin Yun left on them was far greater than when he gave them the orders to trade Tianyu Group stocks a few days ago.

After explaining everything to them, Lin Yun left.
This was just a side hustle...
Practising martial arts and becoming stronger was the most important thing!
Whenever he had free time, he'd search for pieces of information related to martial arts training on the Cosmic Trading System trying to figure out how he could quickly and steadily break through to higher realms.
And he had found quite a bit.
However, most of them required a significant number of Spirit Crystals.
The direction Lin Yun was leaning towards was also the direction that required the most resources.
The strategy was to learn various martial arts techniques suitable for his current realm every time he entered a new realm.
Each martial technique contained some understanding of martial arts. If a person learned many martial techniques, they would have a deeper understanding of martial arts, and thus their martial arts foundation would be more profound.
Some small errors might not seem apparent, but they might affect the foundation of the martial arts.
It might seem alright in the beginning, but as the training progresses, once the improvements started becoming slower and slower, it would be too late for regrets.
At that time, the martial arts foundation would already be set deep. Some things would be ingrained, and it would be impossible to start over.
How many martial techniques should one learn in a realm?
There was no fixed number!
This was also why this direction required significant resources!
Some owners of the Cosmic Trading System said that when a person no longer felt progress despite learning new martial techniques, it might be the time when they have reached their limit!
But some owners of the Cosmic Trading System argued that such a feeling was nonsense because when one didn't feel any progress after learning some martial techniques, it might be because the martial arts knowledge related to these techniques overlapped with the martial techniques they had previously learned. It might be that they would gain a lot after learning another martial technique!
In short, one should never stop learning. There were no limits!
Another point was that the higher the realm of a martial technique you learn, the more profound your understanding of martial arts would be... Just this point alone could lead to terrifying costs of going in this direction!
Because, learning a martial technique at the beginning level wasn't expensive!
But learning a peak-level martial technique would cost a fortune!
Don't even mention learning many... learning just one of them would be enough to make the ordinary owners of the Cosmic Trading System suffer!
So, the owners of the Cosmic Trading Systems who chose this path, carefully selected one or a few martial techniques to master up to the high level, possibly the Peak realm and focussed on it. For the rest, they only learned the lower levels. How far they could practice these martial techniques on their own would depend on their talents!
"A peak-level martial technique requires ten thousand Spirit Crystals. No wonder many owners of the Cosmic Trading System only learn those core martial techniques up to a high level..." Lin Yun gave a bitter smile.
Most owners of the Cosmic Trading System, when at his current martial arts realm, usually had just obtained the Cosmic Trading System not long ago... who would have the guts to spend ten thousand Spirit Crystals practicing a martial technique? Anyone daring enough to spend a few thousand Spirit Crystals... that would be considered a big spender!
Considering the present conditions on Earth... he'd been in possession of the Cosmic Trading System for just over a month, and yet he hadn't even acquired a thousand Spirit Crystals!
With over a thousand years of development, Star Blue could only get one and a half Spirit Crystals each day through the agency of the Cosmic Trading System absorbing and refining the spiritual energy in the air... In the early days, would Star Blue be willing to spend a few thousand Spirit Crystals to learn a few martial techniques?
This was only the beginning...
When his martial arts realm got higher, he would need more advanced martial techniques, and the cost would be even greater!
Who would be willing to spend like this?
Furthermore, this wasn't just about willingness to spend... even if you were willing... but the speed at which you obtained Spirit Crystals was slow, how long would it take to save up a few thousand, or tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals?
A few months would be fine, but a few years, or even decades... could you wait for that long?
There were clearly better methods that could help you enter higher martial arts realms faster!
Given such tremendous temptation, who could endure it?
Besides, if too much time passed, and your age increased, you would end up missing the best time for training!
Once you couldn't resist and used other methods to quickly break through to higher martial arts realms... the foundation of martial arts would be established, and it would be impossible to start over again!
So, even if an owner of a Cosmic Trading System later had plenty of Spirit Crystals, it would be impossible for them to start over again!
This was the difficulty of this path!
"We'll see..." Lin Yun said in a low voice.
Everyone had ambitions. He hoped to do the best!
However, this path required unlimited resources, and despite the excellent conditions on Earth, he still felt a sense of powerlessness!
In fact, the current situation on Earth could be considered quite good!
There was already a network, and the development of various industries and things were already quite advanced!
Not only was it easier for him to make money, but it was also easier for him to collect various resources. All he needed was enough money!
There was also a higher concentration of human traffic!
If we turn back time a few decades, or a few centuries, it wouldn't be easy for him to develop this quickly!
Of course, if we turn back a few decades, or a few centuries, it wouldn't be without its advantages!
At that time, the power of the country wasn't as strong as it is now, and the initial development might be more challenging, but once he had braved through the initial period, with the help of the high-tech stuff on the Cosmic Trading System, he could easily dominate, and in that case, he could do anything he pleased on Earth!
Even if he opened a spaceship to mine, no one would dare to care!
Now... unless he bought a spaceship of good quality to mine, otherwise, it would easily cause worldwide shock. The world's military would be pointed against him. Whether he would be able to respond was hard to say!
In short, there were both pros and cons!
