The treasures within the royal secret realm are beyond the imagination of those who have never been inside.
The auction was hosted by the royal family, and Lin Jingge had already found out the location.
The entrance to the auction was packed with people, but fortunately, members of the royal family were there to maintain order, so even with so many people, things were still well-behaved.
A long queue formed, and Lin Jingge pulled Gan Lan to stand at the back.
It quickly fell to Lin Jingge for registration.
"Auction access card, five thousand spirit stones each." The person sitting at the entrance registering people didn't even look up before speaking.
Lin Jingge was startled; she hadn't expected that five thousand spirit stones would be required before even entering the auction!
Lin Jingge felt a little annoyed. Although she knew this place was expensive, she didn't expect it to be this expensive.
The two of them, Gan Lan and herself, would cost a total of ten thousand spirit stones.
All her savings amounted to only 10,000 spirit stones.
Lin Jingge pursed her lips.
The person of higher rank, seeing that the other party had not spoken for a long time, looked up with some impatience.
"Do you have any spirit stones?! If not, get lost! Can't you see how many people are behind us?!" The man's tone was very unpleasant. He had been guarding this place since early morning, and it was normal for him to be impatient after guarding it for so long.
"Why are you yelling at me! Didn't you see Ah Jin taking it?!" Gan Lan shouted at the person registering.
He then pulled out a number of spirit cores from the bracelet's space and tossed them onto the table as if they were worthless.
"Is this enough?!" Gan Lan said dismissively.
After listening to Lin Jingge's explanation, she knew that these things were valuable. The mountain of spirit cores piled up on the registration table was definitely worth ten thousand spirit stones.
Even if it's not enough, or even if it's a little short, no one will say anything.
After all, who would be foolish enough to exchange a spirit core for spirit stones?!
"That's enough, that's enough." The person registering the spirit cores' eyes lit up, and their previously impatient expression immediately turned into a fawning one.
He estimated the number of these spirit cores and thought about keeping them for himself.
The address plates were processed and given to the two people very quickly; the speed and attitude were simply amazing.
Lin Jingge could hardly bear to look.
She roughly estimated the number of spirit cores and thought that she must return them to Gan Lan when she had time.
The auction house was bustling with activity.
Just as Lin Jingge had expected, a token for the royal secret realm fetched an astronomical price. When Gan Lan tried to bid, Lin Jingge firmly stopped her from joining the bidding.
It's already over 100 million!
I suddenly regretted telling Gan Lanling about how valuable the core was.
After leaving the auction, Gan Lan looked unhappy because she hadn't said a word on the street.
Once back at the guesthouse, she started questioning, "Why didn't you let me take pictures? I could have easily taken them!"
"No need, you can enter the secret realm without taking pictures."
"Then what are you going to do?!" Gan Lan said angrily, "If you don't go, I don't want to go either!"
After saying that, he sat down on the stool angrily.
Lin Jingge opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing.
Gan Lan was fuming, her hand hidden under the table pressing on her bracelet.
Then they started searching inside.
She had just looked at the token of the royal secret realm on the auction stage; it looked very familiar, as if she had seen it in the bracelet before.
However, she didn't tell Lin Jingge, but instead secretly started looking for it on her own.
After searching for a long time, I finally found it.
Upon seeing the words "Royal Family" written on the token, she chuckled softly.
Lin Jingge, who was trying to appease Gan Lan and calm her down, was puzzled when she heard Gan Lan chuckle softly.
I don't understand what Gan Lan is laughing at.
"What's wrong?" she asked, puzzled.
"Ta-da! Look what this is?!" Gan Lan slammed the token on the table like a treasure and pushed it toward Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge's pupils suddenly contracted as she looked at the token.
I just saw this token, how could I not know what it is?
It's a token from the royal family's secret realm!
"Where...where did you come from?" Lin Jin's voice trembled slightly as she looked at the token in her hand.
If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this token is genuine.
It's actually true!
Lin Jingge was taken aback.
"I found it in the bracelet. I thought it looked familiar, and I didn't expect it to actually be there," Gan Lan muttered. "Luckily, I had it. That way, you can come into the secret realm with me!"
Gan Lan smiled, her eyes crinkling.
She felt it didn't matter whether she went or not, but Lin Jingge absolutely had to go. The other party had a high cultivation level; going to the secret realm should yield a lot of rewards.
She knew about the secret realms; her mother had obtained many good things from them. Her mother had told her quite a bit about the secret realms!
"I..." Lin Jingge gripped the token tightly, wanting to express her gratitude, but she didn't know where to begin.
Looking up and seeing Gan Lan's smile, I suddenly felt that there was nothing more to say.
Everything is understood without words.
When the time came for the secret realm to open, Lin Jingge and Gan Lan quietly sneaked over.
With a streak of light, the white light disappeared, and the two found themselves in the royal family's secret realm.
Lin Jingge told Gan Lan to stay close to her, and then they began to explore the secret realm.
Not long after, they somehow triggered a key point in the array, and the scenery in front of them disappeared. They were instantly teleported to a place where they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces.
There seemed to be a breeze blowing around, but it came in gusts, accompanied by strange sounds.
"Where is this place?"
Gan Lan tugged at the sleeve of the girl beside her, her voice trembling slightly. They had just entered the secret realm, hadn't encountered any spirit beasts or found any spirit herbs, and had been unlucky enough to be teleported to this godforsaken place.
Lin Jingge didn't rush to answer. She took out a luminous pearl from her storage bag, infused it with spiritual power, and the pearl emitted a soft light. Before she could see her surroundings clearly, the pearl quickly went out.
"It seems that spiritual power is not allowed here." She frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed her brow. "Let's move forward."
Based on that fleeting glimpse of light, they could only vaguely discern numerous forks in the road, suggesting they were in an underground labyrinth.
It was dark, damp, and cold.
Just then, Gan Lan's voice rang out, filled with unexpected joy, "Hey, A Jin, look at the butterfly, a glowing butterfly!"
Several glowing light blue pheasants appeared at a fork in the road not far away, having flown in without anyone noticing.
“Let’s go take a look,” Gan Lan suggested.
The two walked in that direction. Before they had gone far, the butterflies seemed to come alive, approaching them before flying off to another intersection in the opposite direction, as if leading the way.
Lin Jingge stopped.
"Should we follow them?" Gan Lan looked at the butterflies, a little anxious. What if they flew away if they didn't catch up soon?
Just as she was getting anxious, a figure appeared in front of Butterfly. She looked closely and realized that it was her missing mother!
It turns out that the butterfly was my mother's way to light my way.
Gan Lan's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she began to run forward with long strides.
"That's not an ordinary Spirit Butterfly; its light doesn't match..." Lin Jingge had just realized something when she noticed her good friend...
