Gao Wu: Oh no! Young Master Zhen is a cultivator!

The Lord of Xuan Chen, shameless as ever, said, "Look at you, with our relationship, how could you bear to let my soul be scattered?"

"Heh..." Lin Ran chuckled, but didn't refute, "What conditions are required for the container?"

After spending this time together, he was fairly satisfied with the Lord of Xuan Chen.

After all, this guy can not only provide tactical support, but also various cultivation techniques, which is much better than giving him a Xuan Chen Pearl directly.

Considering the cases of the Xuanhuang Cauldron and the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus, even if he were to directly refine the Xuanchen Pearl, he might not be able to activate it himself.

Having a wealth of treasures that you can only look at but not use is futile.

"It should at least be on the same level as my Xuan Chen Pearl." The Lord of Xuan Chen didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated his requirements: "A lower level will affect my recovery."

Lin Ran said with a hint of helplessness, "Let's see. I don't know if the Nine Heavens Pendant is suitable for me."

The aircraft landed at Kyoto Airport. The fuselage gave a slight jolt, and the runway indicator lights outside the window slowly slid backward, becoming slower and slower.

Zhang Qichuan stood up from his seat and straightened his collar: "Everyone, pack your belongings and get ready to disembark."

Everyone stood up and took their belongings.

Lin Ran slung the sword case behind his back and, as he stood up, gave the Lord of Xuan Chen an order in his mind: "Create different illusions for the crew and students."

Having understood Lin Ran's thoughts, Lord Xuan Chen complied.

From the crew's perspective, the flight attendant wearing a silk scarf said goodbye to her colleagues and left the aircraft alone.

As the students walked past the flight attendant in a line, she remained standing there with a smile on her face.

The truth is, the corpse was following behind Lin Ran, its eyes vacant and its steps stiff.

Lin Ran stepped out of the cabin, glancing at the corpse behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Having a corpse around is somewhat unsettling, but he can't just leave the body in the cabin.

Otherwise, the crew would quickly notice the flight attendant's unusual behavior after he left.

He acted so professionally before, if he is easily exposed, wouldn't it all be for nothing?

One lie leads to countless more to cover it up.

At this moment, Lin Ran deeply understood.

As the group exited the terminal, a bus bearing the logo of the Kyoto Martial Arts Training Center was waiting at the entrance.

Participants from other cities were already waiting on the bus, each forming a small group.

Zhang Qichuan greeted another city lord he knew and led everyone to their seats.

The vehicle quickly became fully loaded and started moving slowly.

The training center covers a vast area, with the main building being octagonal and its exterior walls covered with silver-gray alloy panels.

A giant virtual screen floats above the main entrance, displaying a welcome message.

Zhang Qichuan led everyone to the registration desk to sign in. After the staff checked the list, they gave each person a card.

"This is your pass for the next few days. You'll need it to access the restaurant and training rooms. The rooms are on the third floor of Block B, double rooms. The specific assignments are on the back of the card."

Zhang Qichuan then distributed the cards to everyone.

"You're free to do as you please tonight. Meet in the lobby at 7:00 AM tomorrow. Don't be late."

Lin Ran and Qin Wuyai are in 312, and Bai Ruolin and Chu Xining are in 310.

Qin Wuyai took the room key, swiped it to enter, and chose a bed by the window.

He placed his backpack on the bedside table, sat cross-legged, and began to close his eyes to rest.

The room was small, with two single beds placed against the wall, separated by a bedside table.

Lin Ran had just put the sword case away and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when there was a knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!

Chu Xining's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Lin Ran!"

"Coming!" Lin Ran got up and opened the door.

Chu Xining stood at the door with a smile on her face: "Brother Lin Ran, it's still early, come shopping with me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran glanced at the corpse standing upright in the corner.

While the art of controlling corpses is convenient, a corpse is still a corpse.

Illusions can fool the human eye, but they can't fool a camera.

The training center is full of surveillance cameras. If you leave a corpse outside for too long, there's no guarantee that something won't go wrong.

"We have a competition tomorrow, so let's not run around today," Lin Ran casually refused.

Chu Xining grabbed Lin Ran's arm, putting on a pitiful expression: "Oh, it won't take up much time, so will you come shopping with me?"

Lin Ran was about to refuse again when a communication request popped up on the bracelet.

He answered the call casually, and Zhao Yanran's figure appeared in the 3D projection.

"Young Master Lin, are you free tonight?" Zhao Yanran asked with a smile.

Lin Ran frowned slightly: "I'm participating in a tournament in Kyoto."

"I know," Zhao Yanran said with a slight smile. "I'm in Kyoto."

Chu Xining, standing next to her, couldn't help but complain, "Why are you everywhere?"

Zhao Yanran didn't mind at all: "Miss Chu is here too? Miss Bai is here too, right? Let's have dinner together?"

"Who wants to eat with you?" Chu Xining was quite speechless. "You always like to treat people to meals. Does your family own a restaurant?"

Zhao Yanran nodded: "Yes, Zhiweixuan is my family's business, didn't Miss Chu know?"

Speechless after being cornered by her, Chu Xining was momentarily speechless.

Lin Ran casually asked, "What brings you to Kyoto?"

"I'm here to attend an auction." Zhao Yanran brushed a stray hair from her forehead. "There might be something Young Master Lin needs at this auction."

She knew she couldn't compete with Chu Xining in matters of the heart, so she could only try to be someone useful to Lin Ran.

Only in this way will Lin Ran not overlook me.

Sure enough, Lin Ran became interested immediately when he heard that there were things he needed at the auction.

Why did he go to such lengths to participate in the national tournament?

Isn't it all for the Nine Heavens Pendant?

If what he needs appears at the auction, it would be much simpler than any national tournament.

So he quickly asked, "What is it?"

Zhao Yanran truthfully replied: "An ancient mirror."

"An ancient mirror?" Lin Ran raised an eyebrow. "When does the auction start?"

If the timing doesn't conflict with the arena match, he would like to go and take a look himself.

"Tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran asked in confusion, "You came here today for tomorrow night's auction?"

"I'm here to cheer on Young Master Lin, aren't I?" Zhao Yanran said matter-of-factly.

Chu Xining tugged at Lin Ran's sleeve, pouting, clearly wanting Lin Ran to refuse Zhao Yanran's invitation.

Unfortunately, Lin Ran did not intend to refuse.

When you ask someone for a favor, you shouldn't treat them too harshly.

"Okay, see you at the training center entrance." Lin Ran casually agreed.

After hanging up the call, he looked at Qin Wuyai and called out, "Old Qin, are you going or not?"

Upon suddenly hearing the address "Old Qin," Qin Wuyai was a little taken aback: "Huh? Me? I won't be going."

Lin Ran nodded: "Okay, I'll bring you some food when I get back."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

As he took a step, he remembered the issue of the killer's body.

Taking it around like this is really not a solution.

He glanced at the corner of the wall, then thought again, "It's not like I necessarily have to take it out."

If you set up an illusion array in the corner of the room so that others can't see her, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Without hesitation, Lin Ran first had the Lord of Xuan Chen cast an illusion, and then he himself set up an illusion array and a trapping array in the corner of the wall to lock the corpse in the corner.

After doing all this, he returned to the door and had the Lord of Xuan Chen cancel the illusion.

"What just happened?" Chu Xining asked, stunned.

"What?" Lin Ran feigned ignorance: "Let's go quickly, and call Bai Ruolin."

As he spoke, he strode toward 310.

Bai Ruolin readily agreed when she learned that Chu Xining and Lin Ran were going shopping.

Reluctantly, Chu Xining had no choice but to abandon her plan for a time alone with her boyfriend.
