“There’s an auction in the capital tomorrow. It’s said that all the remaining Royal Secret Realm tokens are left at the auction. We can go and see if we can snag one. If we can get a Royal Secret Realm token, I’ll go too,” Lin Jingge said.

However, she was mostly saying this to Gan Lan.

After all, tokens to enter the royal secret realm are not so easy to come by.

The major families in the imperial city can all digest food, not to mention families from other cities who come specifically for the royal secret realm.

Upon hearing Lin Jingge say that she wanted to go to the secret realm with her, Gan Lan immediately smiled.

"That's great! I've heard my mother say that auctions are extremely expensive in terms of spirit stones. I don't have many spirit stones, but I have a lot of spirit cores. You can have them all!"

Here, she only recognized Lin Jingge. If Lin Jingge didn't go in, she wouldn't go either.

Although she was a bit slow-witted, she could sense that Lin Jingge wouldn't harm her.

She should repay the kindness shown to her, but unfortunately she has no spirit stones.

Thinking about this, Gan Lan felt a little down, but she quickly comforted herself.

"You can take these and sell them to see if you can get some spirit stones. If it's not enough, we'll think of something else." Gan Lan said as she took things out of her bracelet space.

Upon seeing the other person's familiar gesture, Lin Jingge quickly stepped forward to stop them.

"No, no, no, I don't need it right now. I'll ask you for it when I need it." Lin Jinge pressed down on Gan Lan's hand, telling her not to take anything.

Gan Lan smiled and nodded: "Alright then, be sure to let me know when you need it, anyway, it's all just cheap stuff."

Hearing Gan Lan keep saying it was worthless, Lin Jingge felt her head was spinning.

It seems she needs to tell Ganlan about the prices in this area before she goes hunting, so that he won't be ripped off.

With that thought in mind, Lin Jingge did just that.

Seeing that Gan Lan was no longer taking things out, she withdrew her hand and turned to close the door.

Gan Lan thought Lin Jingge was about to leave, so she quickly followed her.

After closing the door, Gan Lan appeared behind Lin Jingge as soon as she turned around.

Fortunately, Lin Jingge was not frightened by the sound of the other person's footsteps.

She called out to Gan Lan to sit at the table.

"We'll be leaving soon and heading back to the capital in a few days. I'll be going to the Starry Forest to kill monsters and exchange them for spirit stones. Do you want to come with me, or stay here? If you choose to stay, I'll book an inn for you..."

Lin Jingge had already thought out everything she needed to do next.

Her goal was clear: to go to the royal secret realm.

There's no reason to give such a valuable treasure to Chu Wang.

The two were already mortal enemies, and she and Chu Wang's first wife were even more mortal foes. It would be difficult to quell her hatred without killing the other party!

Her grandmother was such a good person, and she had never participated in any disputes, yet she was killed by this group of people. She felt indignant, and this incident almost became Lin Jingge's inner demon.

If this matter is not resolved, she probably won't even be able to pass the tribulation of a Great Spirit Master.

Those with inner demons will likely be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.

While thinking about this, Lin Jingge discussed her arrangements with Gan Lan.

Gan Lan felt something was off as she listened.

She frowned and immediately interrupted Lin Jingge: "I'm definitely going with you. Don't stop me. My cultivation level is low, but I can still protect you! My mother left me a lot of things to save my life."

At this point, Gan Lan became somewhat sad again: "No wonder my mother gave me so many things that night; it turns out it was because she was leaving."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she looked up at Lin Jingge: "Do you think my mother doesn't want me anymore? Why did she leave..."

Knowing the truth, Lin Jingge didn't know how to comfort Gan Lan. In the current situation, she didn't dare to tell Gan Lan what her mother had told her.

Finally, he sighed softly, raised his hand and placed it on Gan Lan's shoulder, gently patting her to comfort her.

"Don't overthink it. Maybe your mother just wants you to go out and gain some experience."

"Yes, that must be it!" Gan Lan nodded vigorously.

"Also, don't take the things out of your bracelet so easily. That spirit core you mentioned isn't worthless; it's worth more than spirit stones." Lin Jingge explained the prices of goods in the outside world to Gan Lan, and then subconsciously asked, "How many spirit cores do you have?"

After asking the question, Lin Jingge realized something was wrong and was about to try to salvage the situation when Gan Lan, seemingly unconcerned, replied as soon as Lin Jingge finished speaking, "Not many, just a room full of spirit cores, left by my mother in the storeroom at home."

"Isn't that a lot?" Lin Jingge clicked her tongue. She had never seen so many spirit cores in her life.

Given the drop rate of spirit cores, how many monsters would you have to kill to collect enough for a whole roomful?!

Lin Jingge suddenly felt that there was hope for her to go to the secret realm. She knew she definitely didn't have enough spirit stones and resources, so she would have to borrow some from Gan Lan...

With things on his mind, he checked out of the hotel, bought some medicine and food from a shop in the city, and then led Ganlan to the Starry Forest.

Gan Lan, contentedly clutching some food, followed Lin Jingge happily.

The two stayed in the Starry Forest for two days.

When they left the Starry Forest, Lin Jingge was visibly tired.

Ganlan, on the other hand, was very excited.

"Ah Jin, the meat you grilled is so delicious, even better than my mother's! I want to eat more grilled meat next time!" Gan Lan was pulled by Lin Jingge towards the imperial city, savoring the taste of the grilled meat.

"Since you like it, I'll give you the test again next time," Lin Jingge said with a smile.

This was a very fruitful haul; she even discovered a century-old spiritual plant.

After entering the imperial city, Lin Jingge bought everything she had.

I received a total of over five thousand spirit stones.

Clearly, this amount of spirit stones is not even a fraction of what's needed.

Gan Lan was unaware of these things; all she knew was that the imperial city was even more prosperous.

Unlike Xingyao City, where there are street vendors, street vendors are not allowed in the imperial city. The land here is all neatly trimmed and very clean.

People came and went, entering and exiting the shops on both sides; this was a bustling scene she had never seen before.

Seeing that Gan Lan was staring at the city gate without moving, Lin Jingge called out, "Let's go!"

Gan Lan immediately snapped out of her daze and hurriedly followed behind Lin Jingge.

Lin Jingge led Gan Lan to the inn in front of them.

That's where her grandmother died!

Looking at the inn's signboard, Lin Jingge pursed her lips, forcibly suppressing the explosive anger in her heart and forcing herself not to look at it anymore.

After that, they found another inn and stayed with Ganlan.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and the next day arrived quickly.

Before dawn, it was already noisy outside.

The auction has become a hot topic, and everyone is talking about it lately, all because of the Royal Secret Realm.
