The treasured album of Blue Old Man brought forth a wave of Spiritual Energy that resonated with the Mist-like Space in Wei Yuan's mind, and when the two interacted, Wei Yuan felt a warm current flowing through his consciousness.
This warm current enveloped him tightly, and an intense pleasure spread from his mind, making Wei Yuan feel as if he were floating on clouds!
This was also the reason why Wei Yuan was keen on absorbing Spiritual Energy; the unparalleled pleasure that radiated from within could make one's soul tremble. Slowly opening the album, Wei Yuan began to inspect each Postage Stamp for issues.
Most of them were well-preserved, which Wei Yuan could easily tell. However, some Postage Stamps had fingerprints on their surfaces, which could affect their condition. This puzzled Wei Yuan.
It was like the flat-tipped tweezers he held; usually, the old man used this type of specialized tweezers to handle Postage Stamps, which did not have teeth. Yet, several of the Postage Stamps here had particularly noticeable paper textures!
One likely explanation for this situation was that the person had directly touched them with their hands. However, the old man should be considered an expert; how could he make such a rookie mistake? Wei Yuan's first thought was that it was intentional—was he testing him?
He observed that many of the Postage Stamps with fingerprints were released in recent years, as indicated by the numbers in the lower corners. Although Wei Yuan wasn't very knowledgeable about Postage Stamps, he at least knew that there hadn't been any valuable low-issue Postage Stamps in recent years. In contrast, those with slightly yellowed surfaces were all in excellent condition.
Additionally, some Postage Stamps had issues with their adhesive on the back; some had missing teeth due to soaking. The biggest problem was that a few Postage Stamps showed clear signs of damage to key patterns, which was a headache for many collectors.
There were also some that had cancellation marks from 1981-1988, which were now quite rare in the market. However, even if they were intact, those with cancellation marks would definitely depreciate compared to those without.
"It seems that repairing this pile of Postage Stamps is not an issue; it's just whether to choose to absorb the Spiritual Energy from those precious slightly yellowed Postage Stamps. This is a serious question!"
Wei Yuan felt quite anxious, harboring feelings akin to a divine melody. He certainly hoped to absorb all the inherent Spiritual Energy from this large collection of Postage Stamps, but after several rounds of rigorous training, his physical condition couldn't change drastically overnight!
Thus, he feared that if the amount of absorbed Spiritual Energy exceeded what his body could handle, he might experience a situation similar to last time: insufficient exercise leading to fatigue and discomfort at the slightest exertion.
In this situation, Wei Yuan had experienced fear after a previous encounter, so he remained cautious. Therefore, Wei Yuan first activated the Mist-like Space in his mind, utilizing the Dark Ink-colored Mist within it to react with the Spiritual Energy contained in the Postage Stamp. Gradually, Wei Yuan felt that many first-form Silver-gray Mist were being devoured and merged into a light ink color!
As the Light Ink-Colored Mist gradually became dominant, Wei Yuan couldn't help but think about what changes would occur in the Mist-like Space when a first-form Silver-gray Mist began to disappear.
After that incident with the BMW crash, Wei Yuan gained Repairing Ability at Luoxia Lake. From the initial dark gray mist to the first use, it gradually transformed into the first form of Silver-gray Mist, and then began producing Dark Ink-colored Mist. Each transformation brought about an upgrade in Ability, changing both Wei Yuan's Restorative Power and his body!
Once again, he drew out the Light Ink-Colored Mist from his mind. Now using the second form of mist for repairs was evidently much easier.
At this moment, Wei Yuan held a specialized flat-nose tweezers in one hand, extracting the problematic Postage Stamps and holding them in mid-air. With his other hand, he transformed the mist into a transparent state and used the Light Ink-Colored Mist to wrap each Postage Stamp into a bundle!
Under the influence of Restorative Power, the damaged parts of the Postage Stamps began to undergo subtle changes.
"I didn't expect that the stamped part would also be eliminated!" Wei Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Seeing one of the Postage Stamps with its stamped part removed made Wei Yuan very excited. He knew that if a Postage Stamp had no stamp on it, its value could increase significantly!
"This one clearly has fingerprints on it after someone got their hands dirty. Although it's not a valuable Postage Stamp, why did the old man choose to test me like this? It left Wei Yuan feeling somewhat perplexed!"
It seemed that wealthy people shared a common trait; whenever someone approached them, they felt that person was after their money and remained constantly on guard. In the end, they ended up without even a friend to confide in occasionally.
While Wei Yuan reflected on this, his hands did not stop moving. He continued with the same method: holding the tweezers in one hand while using the mist transformed into a transparent state to wrap around the Postage Stamps. He could observe subtle changes with his naked eye until he completed the task and returned each Postage Stamp to its original position!
Absorbing the Spiritual Energy from these problematic Postage Stamps was not difficult for Wei Yuan. It took him about ten minutes to absorb their Spiritual Energy. Moreover, since there weren't many of them and their Spiritual Energy concentration was limited, Wei Yuan did not act overly cautious and quickly absorbed all of it.
After spending more than ten minutes, Wei Yuan carefully picked up all the problematic Postage Stamps with tweezers, ensuring that the transparent mist enveloped each stamp completely. Finally, in less than half an hour, he had repaired all the Postage Stamps!
"The Video Disks and tapes that Gu Jing has can still earn some money, but of course, it's far less than the income from specifically repairing Postage Stamps. As for recycling old books, that meager income is no longer worth pursuing."
At this point, with his abilities growing stronger, Wei Yuan had lost interest in the trade of Repairing Discs and old books. Now, he was more focused on using these numerous items to consume his Spiritual Energy in order to achieve a balance between his Spiritual Energy and physical condition.
After completing the repairs on all the problematic Postage Stamps, Wei Yuan found himself in a dilemma. The Spiritual Energy contained in these problematic Postage Stamps was clearly insufficient to pose any threat to his physical state. However, his attention was drawn to those dark yellow Postage Stamps!
The Spiritual Energy contained within these Postage Stamps was abundant enough to be considered rich, but it was also overly abundant. Wei Yuan found himself in a difficult position; while absorbing it could yield a significant amount of Spiritual Energy and promote changes in the Mist-like Space, he feared that his current physical condition might not be able to handle it. On the other hand, if he chose not to absorb it now, he felt it would be a waste.
"Alright, let's take it slow and steady!"
Wei Yuan made up his mind and began to mobilize the Dark Ink-colored Mist from the Mist-like Space in his mind. He cautiously initiated a reaction between the Dark Ink-colored Mist and the Spiritual Energy of the Postage Stamps at the slowest pace possible, gradually starting to absorb the Spiritual Energy!
