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

If it were someone else shopping, with dozens of clothes and bags piled up all over their body, they would already be overwhelmed.

In other words, Lin Ran has a storage space, which allows him to store all his items, making things easier for him.

Even so, Song Yishu remained enthusiastic, her gaze constantly scanning the new product display area, showing no sign of stopping.

"Let's go check out the next one."

Lin Ran finally couldn't help but speak, her tone full of helplessness: "Really, it's not necessary. I'm not even sure I'll be able to wear it."

He will be heading to the Cangxuan Realm tomorrow. The cultivation world is known for its refined and elegant practices, with most people dressed in long robes or Taoist robes.

These everyday thermal suits and casual clothes never even get a chance to be worn.

Upon hearing this, Song Yishu stopped selecting items and turned to look at Lin Ran.

"Alright then, is there anything else you need?"

Lin Ran pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "I don't need anything else, but there is one more thing I need to take care of."

"What's wrong? Can Mom help you?" Song Yishu asked gently.

"I still have a batch of gold, silver and jade artifacts that I originally agreed to sell to the Zheng and Li families, but I have to wait for them to sell the previous batch of goods first."

Lin Ran explained slowly, his tone serious: "I'm going out tomorrow and might not be able to contact you for a long time. Could you manage it for me?"

"Are you going out again?"

"Yes, there are some important things to take care of."

Song Yishu nodded slightly: "Okay, how should we store the things? Should we rent a warehouse to store them?"

"No need for that."

Lin Ran raised his hand and gently stroked the Nine Heavens Pendant at his waist. With a flash of light, an ancient, dark storage bag appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The bag has intricate patterns and a restrained spiritual light, making it a traditional storage artifact from the cultivation world.

"I've already put those gold, silver, and jade artifacts in this storage bag. When the Zheng and Li families come looking for you, just give them the contents of the bag and collect the money according to the corresponding price."

"Okay, then I'll keep it for you."

Song Yishu reached out and took the storage bag, her expression calm and composed.

As the wife of the richest man in Xinhai, she has been in charge of enormous assets for many years and has seen countless treasures and riches.

Faced with this storage artifact worth over 100 million, and the massive amount of gold, silver, and jade artifacts inside, his state of mind remained completely calm.

If it were an ordinary person, this single storage bag would be enough to make them ecstatic and lose their composure.

Any item from the cultivation world that falls into this realm is a rare resource.

After finishing their shopping, the two drove back to the Lin family villa.

After lunch, Lin Ran returned to his room, raised his hand, and a large number of low-grade spirit stones poured out, instantly filling the room with pure spiritual energy.

These low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to third-tier crystal cores, with mild spiritual energy, suitable for Qi Refining cultivators or Innate Realm martial artists to absorb.

For Lin Ran, who is now in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm and about to break through to the late stage, it is no longer of much use.

Lin Ran lightly flicked his fingertips with spiritual energy, dividing the spirit stones on the ground into four equal parts, each containing more than two thousand stones.

He took out four storage bags and put the spirit stones into each one.

Bai Ruolin, Chu Xining, Zhao Yanran, and Lin Zhixia are all at the Innate Realm. Giving these spirit stones to them is a good way to make the most of them.

Lin Ran put away his storage bag, took to the air, and flew towards the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau.

When they arrived at the Secret Service, everyone had just finished lunch and returned to their posts.

He landed easily in front of the building, walked into the lobby, and took the elevator to his office.

The corridor was very quiet. From the doorway, you could see Bai Ruolin sitting at her desk organizing documents.

When Lin Ran pushed the door open and came in, Bai Ruolin was slightly taken aback, then put down the documents in her hand and stood up to greet him.

"How did you manage to come to the station today?"

"I came to see you and brought you something."

Lin Ran casually closed the office door, took out a storage bag from his pocket, and handed it to Bai Ruolin.

Bai Ruolin took the storage bag with a puzzled look, probed it with her divine sense, and felt the abundant spiritual energy inside. She immediately showed curiosity.

"What is this?"

She had never seen a spirit stone before, and only felt that the item in the bag was similar to a crystal core, but she had no idea about its origin or purpose.

"These are low-grade spirit stones. Each one contains the same amount of spiritual energy as a third-tier crystal core. Moreover, the spiritual energy is gentler and purer, and there is no spiritual pollution."

Lin Ran leaned against the table: "When you circulate your cultivation technique, hold the spirit stone in your palm and use your spiritual power to guide the spiritual energy within it into your meridians. This will allow you to quickly improve your cultivation level."

"Two thousand spirit stones should be enough for you to break through to the Transcendent Realm."

Although Bai Ruolin came from a family of martial arts practitioners and had seen many rare and precious materials, she had never come into contact with the cultivation resources of the orthodox cultivation world.

It was my first time handling so many spirit stones, and I couldn't help but feel excited.

"Are all of these for me?" Her grip on the storage bag tightened slightly. "What about you?"

"Take it, I don't need it."

Lin Ran said calmly, "You should cultivate diligently and strive to break through as soon as possible."

Bai Ruolin gave him a deep look, put the storage bag into her bosom, and solemnly agreed.

"I will."

The two chatted for a while longer, and Lin Ran gave Bai Ruolin a few instructions on cultivation, which she noted down.

Lin Ran then got up and left, heading straight to Bai Zhenyue's office.

Upon learning Lin Ran's purpose, Bai Zhenyue's expression turned solemn: "Actually, you don't need to face this alone at all. In this situation, the entire nation of China can provide you with support."

"No need." Lin Ran shook his head. "I must go there personally, act according to the situation, stabilize the situation, and prevent more people from finding out about the entrance to the two realms."

"Otherwise, if the cultivators of the Cangxuan Realm were to discover the existence of this world, we would probably be completely unable to defend ourselves."

Bai Zhenyue remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, his tone solemn.

"Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Take a leave of absence without pay for now. You can come back anytime once you've sorted things out."

"Anything is fine. If things go smoothly, I should be able to come back soon," Lin Ran said casually, his expression calm.

Bai Zhenyue's eyes were full of expectation: "No matter what, your safety must be guaranteed first. Your existence is extremely important to the entire nation of China!"

"Haha, then I must thank you for your kind words, leader." Lin Ran laughed heartily, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room.

Bai Zhenyue shook his head helplessly: "No need for your nonsense, you know what you're doing."

After exchanging a few words, Lin Ran got up to say goodbye and turned to leave the office building.

After leaving the Special Affairs Bureau, Lin Ran took to the air and headed towards the New Sea Martial Arts Academy.

He landed quietly outside the school and walked into the campus.

As evening approached, students gathered in small groups, their laughter and chatter filling the air.

Lin Ran gently spread his divine sense and quickly found Chu Xining in the training hall.

Chu Xining was practicing her skills in the training hall. Her movements were agile and her punches were fierce. Every move she made carried the unique spiritual energy fluctuations of a congenital martial artist.

The other students had already left the gym, leaving only her still practicing.

Lin Ran pushed open the door and walked into the training hall, his footsteps sounding particularly clear in the empty space.

Chu Xining withdrew her fist and turned around. After seeing who it was, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Brother Lin Ran, you're here!"

"I'm bringing you something."

Lin Ran took out a storage bag and handed it to Chu Xining.

Chu Xining curiously took the storage bag, probed it with her spiritual energy, and her expression changed slightly.

"Such a rich spiritual energy..."

"Low-grade spirit stones are cultivation resources used in the cultivation world. Their structure is similar to that of crystal cores, but they do not contain spiritual matter, making them more suitable for absorption."

Lin Ran briefly explained, reiterating what Bai Ruolin had said.

After listening, Chu Xining's eyes were filled with complex emotions: "So many spirit stones...where did you get them?"

"I don't need what I earned in the secret realm, so I'll give it to you for your breakthrough." Lin Ran leaned against a pillar in the training hall, speaking casually.

Chu Xining bit her lip, clutching the storage bag tightly in her hand, her face filled with emotion: "Brother Lin Ran..."

"You're already moved? What if I have something even better for you in the future?" Lin Ran's lips curled up slightly.

"Anyway, I'm already Lin Ran's woman."
