The fact that their Linshan City could hold this kind of martial arts auction must have been specially applied for by Li Yuhan, in order to build up his reputation and also to make a profit.
The Li Dynasty, even among all the states, was considered one of the best; at least it was not an unknown dynasty. And for the eldest princess, who controlled the main economy, it would be easy for her daughter to sell this martial arts technique to make money and gain popularity, wouldn't it?
Lin Ran did not think of buying this martial arts book. Although the things stored in the Lin family's library were not very good, they were still not completely empty and were still worth a look.
On the other hand, the Murong family and the Wang family no longer have earth-level skills. Before Lin Ran grew up, these two families had more Dao Yuan Realm warriors, but they could only compete with the Lin family on equal terms. Now that the Lin family has become stronger, these two families can only act like turtles and survive.
Although he didn't intend to buy it, he didn't say that he wouldn't mess with people's mentality.
He knew that there would be many people bidding for this technique. Even if he called out the price, there would definitely be people who would bite the bullet and bid, so Lin Ran directly shouted, "Two hundred and fifty-five thousand!"
The bidding, which was originally fierce, suddenly calmed down. They all looked towards the box where Lin Ran was. They looked at each other and no one dared to shout anymore.
The other person has a big fist. What if I shout out and get targeted?
In the private room of Murong's family, Murong Chou was so angry that his head was about to explode. He had just finished shouting out the price when a "Lin Yaojin" appeared.
Murong Qiu couldn't help but slam the table and cursed: "Lin Ran is really going too far, I..."
"What?" Murong Shu, who was sitting on the side leaning on a cane, sighed helplessly and said, "Haven't you been taught a lesson last time? Give up. Unless we can find someone stronger than Lin Ran, you will be suppressed for the rest of your life. At least your clan won't be exterminated. Be content and let it go!"
Murong Chou: “….”
Lin Ran is at the Lingdan realm, and the only one stronger than Lin Ran is at the Nirvana realm. But who would come to help a small family like yours, even a big shot at the Nirvana realm? This is simply a fantasy.
Murong Chou's expression changed for a long time, but he finally let out a sigh and gave up bidding.
The Wang family over there was in the same situation. After much consideration, they finally chose to give up the bidding. The people below saw that the Wang family and the Murong family did not dare to bid, let alone their small forces.
Li Yuhan was dumbfounded. To what extent had Linshan City been harmed by the Lin family? Why did no one dare to bid when the Lin family started bidding? How could she make any money? It was a pure loss!
Even though she was well-mannered, the smile on her face was a little stiff. Seeing that the scene had been calm for so long, she smiled stiffly and said, "Anything else... do you want to increase the price?"
After asking several times and confirming that there was really no one bidding, Li Yuhan's hand holding the auction hammer was shaking a little, and he even knocked with a hint of anger: "Congratulations to Patriarch Lin Ran for winning the Thunder Gang Jue at a price of 255,000."
Lin Ran:?
He was just shouting that he was just joking, so why wasn't anyone bidding?
The younger generations of the Lin family saw that the clan leader Lin Ran just shouted and bought the low-level earth-level skills at a low price. A bold girl couldn't help but ask Lin Ran: "Clan leader, will this skill be placed in the family library?"
"Uh..." Lin Ran thought about it hesitantly, but since he had already taken the photo, where else could he put it if not in the library? He could only answer, "It will be put in the library when the time comes. If you want to get it, you have to rely on your own ability."
Hearing Lin Ran's words, the group of young people became excited again. It can be said that each of them was full of fighting spirit and was determined to achieve good results in the coming-of-age ceremony.
Lin Hongjia, who was sitting next to him, was very happy to see Lin Ran's frustrated look. He whispered to Lin Chong next to him, "I tell you, Uncle Lin Ran must have deliberately bid high to get others to buy it, deliberately cheating others, but he didn't expect that no one would dare to buy it after bidding. The starting price of this skill was 200,000, and it was bought at 255,000. The auction house lost a lot of money."
Lin Chong also agreed with it and said, "My father's deeds are too well-known in Linshan City. The last time he did that, he took a lot of advantage from the Murong family. No one wants to become the next Murong family!"
After Li Yuhan was so angry that she asked someone to give the technique away, she calmed down a little and continued to smile at everyone in the auction hall. She said, "Everyone, the last mysterious item in this auction is quite special. It has no price and does not require you to bid. It is just a piece of news. It is not certain whether this news is true or false. If you are interested, you can go and confirm it."
These words made everyone present a little confused. This final mysterious item was actually just an uncertain news. What kind of mysterious item was it?
"I believe you will be interested in this news." Li Yuhan smiled and said directly: "Linshan City is surrounded by mountains, and in one of these mountains, someone recently discovered a mysterious ancient ruins.
Our Chamber of Commerce has also sent people to investigate. We have verified the information told by those who came back through ancient books. This may be the remains of a strong man with strength not lower than the Dragon Transformation Realm. It is very likely to be the remains of a strong man in the Immortal Realm or the Sage Realm. "
Li Yuhan's words could be said to be like a bomb dropped into the crowd. After a brief calm, it caused an uproar.
"The relics of the immortal and possibly saintly realm are actually in the mountains surrounding our Linshan City..."
"Oh my god, this news will probably spread throughout Linshan City tomorrow. No, it may even spread throughout the entire dynasty!"
Many people had excitement, surprise, worry, fear, and other complex emotions in their eyes. It was not a good thing for such a relic of an ancient powerful man to appear in the mountains surrounding Linshan City.
Lin Ran in the box finally understood why in the original novel, after Lin Chong's coming-of-age ceremony, said this information that had been spread all over the country a few years ago, and after being forgotten, it was dug up again. The source of the emotion was Li Yuhan.
Li Yuhan probably wanted everyone who heard the news to do a carpet search in the mountains, but after searching for a year or two, there was no result. Just when she was about to give up, someone finally stumbled upon it during the coming-of-age ceremony competition that year.
But it seems that he also has to go look inside the mountains. If he is lucky enough to get in, he can take away all the opportunities inside in advance, and then prepare these opportunities for his son, which can save some effort.
After the auction ended, many people hurried back, gathered people and rushed to the mountains around Linshan City, vowing to be the first to obtain the treasures in the suspected remains of ancient powerful people.
Lin Ran planned to let the Great Elder and the others take their people back first, and then he would go to the waiting room of the auction house to pay the money and get the items. Of course, Lin Ran could also see that the younger and higher-ups in the clan were all a little eager to make a move after hearing what Li Yuhan said. They had been discussing in low voices, full of curiosity and desire to explore.
The fat elder looked at him several times, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Lin Ran could only order: "You can explore, but no one can die, you can't be reckless, young people can't go, and you can't get into disputes with others, understand?"
"Got it, clan leader!"
The great elder's fat face was full of excitement, and he hurried back with a group of people.
Lin Hongjia was worried about Lin Ran being with that vixen Li Yuhan, but he had no good reason to stay, so he could only go back with the elders.
After Lin Ran explained everything, he was led by a maid to the VIP waiting room in the auction house. The maid brought him in, served Lin Ran tea, and then left.
Lin Ran waited in the VIP room for a long time. The hurried footsteps outside the door made him look towards the door.
"We didn't keep Patriarch Lin Ran waiting too long, did we? If there is anything wrong with our hospitality, please let me know."
As the door opened, Li Yuhan walked with graceful steps, twisting her swaying waist, and her curvy and voluptuous figure, especially the rise and fall of her chest, made people want to eat her alive.
"What a beauty." After secretly praising her in his heart, Lin Ran walked forward, looked at Li Yuhan and chuckled, "I am lucky to be able to wait for such a beautiful person like Miss Li. But Miss Li, where is the item I auctioned? I can't pay for it if you don't bring it to me."
"Why are you in such a hurry, Chief Lin Ran? I still have some questions for you!" Li Yuhan found a seat and sat down sideways, crossing her legs so that Lin Ran could see her long, white and slender legs.
Lin Ran glanced at them inconspicuously, then sat down and said, "How could I refuse Miss Li's request? I will tell her everything I know!"
Li Yuhan looked at Lin Ran in front of her and said with a sweet smile: "Then Chief Lin Ran, can you tell me, did you buy that bronze block because you saw what it could do? I really want to know, what is the use of this thing?"
"Oh, this!" Lin Ran shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile, "I just bought it to play with, in case it comes in handy one day."
Li Yuhan: “….”
Are you treating her like a three-year-old kid by saying this bullshit?
She didn't think that the Lin family, who could be said to be the local tyrants of Linshan City, would have nothing better to do than buy such a useless piece of scrap metal.
Moreover, Lin Ran's experience was very strange. He went out to gain experience, but no one knew where he went. All they knew was that when Lin Ran came back, he brought back a little son and told others that his wife was dead. Moreover, his strength had reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm, crushing all the forces in Linshan City.
But during the confrontation between the Lin family and the Murong family a while ago, Lin Ran directly broke through to the Lingdan realm.
You have to know that in the Li Dynasty, those in the Lingdan Realm are definitely considered "top powerhouses" and their numbers are rare, and the number of those in the Nirvana Realm is even smaller.
But even so, the Li Dynasty ranks very high among the powers in the states. It is conceivable how difficult it is to become a top power in such a place.
The reason why Li Yuhan came to Linshan City was, firstly, to escape the engagement, and secondly, to win over her own forces. She regarded Linshan City as her base camp, but she didn't expect that the Lin family would produce a Lingdan realm powerhouse like Lin Ran, and in such a small place, the secrets on him must be not simple.
Since she knew about it, she had only one goal, which was to win over Lin Ran and the Lin family. If she had a powerful Lingdan realm expert at her disposal, she would be far ahead of her brothers and sisters, and would also have the strength to reject that annoying marriage proposal. As for how to hold on to Lin Ran, with her beauty and figure, wouldn't that be easy?

Chapter 13 I Feel Like a Pig Head (Please Collect)
"Since Chief Lin Ran is just buying bronze and iron blocks to go back and play with them, I won't ask too many questions. But I have another business that I want to discuss with Chief Lin Ran!" Li Yuhan smiled slightly, her fingers inadvertently brushing across her chest, full of natural charm.
This momentum made Lin Ran a little suspicious whether Li Yuhan had practiced some kind of magic. However, Li Yuhan's talent in cultivation was even worse than his.
Now she is in her twenties and is only at the ordinary Taoist level. Even if she lives in the royal family, she can only be a vase and be used as a tool for marriage. Lin Ran also knew all this in the original plot.
Lin Ran saw that Li Yuhan was trying hard to seduce him when they first met. It seemed that she was eager to use him to help her get out of her marriage, and even wanted to touch the throne.
"Talking about cooperation and business, there is naturally no problem with that. I wonder what Miss Li wants to talk about?" Lin Ran said with a smile.
"I want Chief Lin Ran to help me!" Li Yuhan's white and soft little hands climbed onto Lin Ran's left hand on the table, scratching it gently with her fingers. She pursed her rosy lips and said pitifully, "As long as Chief Lin Ran can help me solve it, I will definitely repay you well."
"Promise yourself to me?" Lin Ran held Li Yuhan's hand in return and teased.
"Hate it, Chief Lin Ran..."
Li Yuhan tried hard to pull her hand back, but she didn't expect Lin Ran's hand to hold her hand tightly like an iron clamp. She couldn't get rid of it no matter what she did. Li Yuhan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and had to let Lin Ran play with her.
"Let me talk about your problems first!" Lin Ran put down Li Yuhan's little hand, looked at Li Yuhan's charming phoenix eyes, and said coldly: "You want to use me to help you solve your engagement problem, Miss Li. Others may not know, but I know your identity. Li Yuhan, the daughter of Li Jinling, the eldest princess of the Li Dynasty."
"You...how did you know? Investigate me!" Li Yuhan's face changed drastically. She stood up hurriedly and even wanted to call the guards outside to come over. How could the patriarch of a small family in such a remote place know her identity?
"Don't worry, Miss Li!" Lin Ran stood up and pushed Li Yuhan back to her seat, with an even brighter smile on his face: "If I really do something to you, would I still let you call for guards? I'm afraid that I can play with you in various positions and you won't be discovered."
"You..." Li Yuhan's pretty face turned red with anger, but she had to admit that this was the fact. She was too confident and thought she could easily defeat the other person. She didn't expect that she was the one who was about to be defeated.
"Ms. Li, I know you are a very ambitious person. Although you came to Linshan City temporarily to avoid an engagement, I know you hate being treated as a vase the most.
So you want to work hard to prove yourself. Since you don't have the talent for cultivation, you start with politics and business. Not only do you want to be the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, you even want to be the emperor of the Li Dynasty and be the first empress. Am I right?" Lin Ran said with a smile.
He easily revealed Li Yuhan's background. This woman was ambitious and had a good vision. In the original novel, she had invested in Lin Chong, and in the end, it was proved that this decision was correct.
Li Yuhan didn't know what words to use to express her feelings. She looked at the man in front of her with wide eyes.
She felt that at this moment, Lin Ran was a demon, a demon who saw through her completely, as if she was being stared at naked. This feeling was too terrible.
Obviously, she had never let anyone know these things, but the man in front of her, whom she met for the first time today, saw through her.
"Give me the things!" Lin Ran spread out his right hand and said calmly, "I am not interested in interfering in your royal family's affairs for the time being. Your marriage partner is not someone you can easily mess with. I still have to be responsible for the Lin family."
Even if I want to help, I can only help under a different identity, Lin Ran thought secretly.
After all, it is too risky to go all in on Li Yuhan with the entire Lin family at stake. It is better to wait for Lin Chong to solve it. This is also an opportunity for Lin Chong to gain experience.
However, Li Yuhan seemed a little unconvinced, with her hands on her hips and her chest puffed out, she said angrily: "The thing is in my chest, but you have to promise to help me, then I will take it out for you.
If you refuse to agree and insist on forcing me, I will call for help and make you lose your reputation in Linshan City the next day."
Lin Ran did not expect that Li Yuhan would actually start to pester him directly. Looking at the white groove, Lin Ran felt a little embarrassed. It was a bit difficult to pick it up, and he didn't know if Li Yuhan was being stupid again. How dare he say this to a strong man in the Lingdan realm?
After casting a sound-blocking barrier in the room, Lin Ran didn't care about anything else and gave Li Yuhan a quick check-up.
A few minutes later, Lin Ran weighed the ring in his hand and glanced at Li Yuhan, who was hiding in the corner with a blushing face and looking at him with murderous eyes. He really didn't expect that this woman would really put the space ring containing the auction items on her chest and clamp it. She was really talented and advanced in consciousness.
"Hey, Miss Li, wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? I still have to do it!" Lin Ran couldn't help but take a sip of tea. After checking that there was nothing wrong with the auction items, he took out a few black gold cards that stored gold coins from his space ring, threw them to Li Yuhan, and said, "Miss Li, check if the money is enough."
Li Yuhan was a little mad. She picked up the cards and threw them back. She pulled her hair randomly and said angrily, "I'm not a prostitute. You just... and then you threw money at me, Lin Ran, what do you mean!"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't think of this." Lin Ran admired Li Yuhan's imagination. He really just wanted Li Yuhan to check if there was any problem with the money.
"You..." Li Yuhan pointed at Lin Ran, her clothes wrinkled on her chest, and her chest was surging. After a while, she took a breath and stared into Lin Ran's eyes. Suddenly, she said very seriously: "If I really pledge my love to you, can you help me?"
"What if I say yes?"
"I'll accompany you tonight!" Li Yuhan said firmly.
In order to prove his determination, he even rushed up and hugged Lin Ran, and his dishonest little hands went directly towards "little Lin Ran".
This frightened Lin Ran, and he quickly pushed Li Yuhan away and fled quickly from the VIP room and Jinling Chamber of Commerce. This place suddenly became a devil's den.
"Oh my god, my mother was right. Boys must protect themselves when they go out!" Lin Ran escaped and stood on the street. He looked back at the brightly lit Jinling Chamber of Commerce with lingering fear.
He didn't expect Li Yuhan to be so crazy. They had just met for the first time, and she even wanted to pledge herself to him, wishing to trap him tightly.
But Lin Ran is not stupid. He doesn't think that Li Yuhan fell in love with him the first time they met. Judging from Li Yuhan's performance, it is also consistent with the description in the original book: ambitious, full of control, and unscrupulous.
"This is really unscrupulous!" Lin Ran thought of the scene just now, smiled and shook his head. He should stay away from such women in the future.
At Jinling Chamber of Commerce, Li Yuhan looked at the open door, a charming smile on her face again. She lowered her head to tidy up her messy clothes. When her hands passed across her chest, she thought of the scenes just now and the touch of her chest, which made her pretty face blush slightly.
Picking up the black and gold cards on the ground, Li Yuhan couldn't help but smile foolishly. She probably knew how to deal with Lin Ran...
……
After returning to the Lin family, Lin Ran found that the lights were on and the place was bustling with activity. Teams of guards were heading towards the mountains near Linshan City.
"The Great Elder is really fast!" Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't stop him. Even though he knew that they would not find anything if they explored now, but if everyone went and you didn't send anyone, it would seem weird.
After finding the team leaders and giving them a few instructions, Lin Ran went back to his own yard. But as soon as he got back to the yard, Lin Hongjia, with a cold face, pulled him back to the room. He didn't even ask anything.
Lin Hongjia wrinkled his nose and sniffed around Lin Ran. When he smelled the faint incense, his expression changed. He grabbed Lin Ran's collar and asked expressionlessly, "Are you hooking up with that vixen?"
"Uh..." It was the first time that Lin Ran saw Lin Hongjia like this. He was as cold as ice. How should he answer this? It felt weird no matter how he answered.
"Jiaer, I think..."
"Don't change the subject, just tell me, are you hooking up?" Lin Hongjia asked stubbornly.
Lin Ran thought this might be an opportunity to completely break up, but after struggling for a long time, he finally said, "No, this is really the first time she and I met today, but she wanted to seduce me and let me do something for her."
After hearing Lin Ran's words, Lin Hongjia's expression eased a lot. He snorted and sat on the chair next to him. "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."
"What else?" Lin Ran smiled. He understood Jiaer and knew that she had calmed down most of her anger, but she just wanted to pretend to be tough and save face.
"I won't tell you!" Lin Hongjia rolled her eyes at Lin Ran, her pretty face blushed, she turned to the other side, waved her hand, and said, "Get out, get out, I'm going to sleep, if you stay any longer, I'll call someone."
