This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

Most of the luggage was packed into the low-sound space. This was the first time Zhou Ran used the low-sound function so openly.

Maybe it was after I started practicing that I finally got the hang of it.

Traveling light, Zhou Ran didn't even need to wait for his luggage after getting off the plane. He could directly transfer in the terminal and fly to Teng City.

But there were still some minor hiccups. Because she had to go through security again, Zhou Ran had to go to the bathroom to remove her makeup, go through security, and then put her makeup back on...

Well, I was ridiculed by the little voice again.

In this border area, if you want freedom, you can be quite free. Zhou Ran bought a car in the used car market, and the dealer didn't even ask her for her ID card. She drove away with a used pickup truck for 7500 yuan.

The oil tank is still full.

The other party also said directly that if you don’t want it within a month, you can just drive it back. If there are no problems, it will be recycled for 5500.

How about renting a car? 2000 a month?

At the first level of Qi training, Zhou Ran didn't have any ability to transform, so he just used cosmetics and clothes to disguise himself.

She was dressed in rags, carrying a torn sack, and said in a low voice that she was a little beggar.

Being a little beggar is better than having your kidneys punched by someone!

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!

Zhou Ran has become accustomed to small voices, and he won't be offended by being criticized.

She used the Turtle Breathing Technique to the best of her ability, strolling back and forth in the jade market, touching the rough materials.

Yes, at this level you have to touch the raw material to sense the spiritual energy.

In this source market, Zhou Ran actually found several pieces of raw materials with spiritual energy. He found a professional intermediary to help bargain for the price. In total, he spent 11 yuan and got pieces of raw materials.

A sack was not enough, but luckily Zhou Ran had a pickup truck.

Once you get on the car, you can fly freely in the vast sea and sky.

There are always limited stalls in this place. It is said that most of the good raw materials are hidden in other people's homes, and Zhou Ran cannot get in without someone to lead him.

However, eleven pieces of raw materials are enough for her to use for a while, for example, to make two sets of spirit gathering array talismans.

For the rest of his journey, Zhou Ran headed eastward, painting and collecting materials, looking for places with abundant spiritual energy. He would stay there for a few days and then continue his journey.

Every now and then, I would call my mother to let her know I was safe.

By the time she finally arrived in Guangdong Province, the vacation was almost over.

Zhou Ran went to Pingzhou's rough material market again to check things out. He was lucky enough to find a large stone with rich spiritual energy in the market, but the price was also high, 230 million.

He had no choice but to "make money" on the spot. He picked up a few cheap raw materials and auctioned them on the spot, only then was he able to raise enough money to buy the big stone.

A large millstone weighing more than a ton has been cut once and is only sold for 230 million.

As for Zhou Ran, he pulled the big stone and left. After entering the vicinity of Pengcheng, he found a place to park the car, put on his backpack, and took a taxi directly to the airport.

It's time to go home.

As for whether anyone was looking for her in the market, she left without caring about the raging waves.

With the help of the spirit gathering array, Zhou Ran's training speed has increased a lot, and he is expected to enter the second level of Qi training before the college entrance examination.

This body can be cultivated, but its talent is average.

The little voice's evaluation was so straightforward.

"Zhou Ran, didn't you send a painting into a competition last semester? You won first prize, a 5000 yuan prize. Please give me your bank card later!"

On the first day of school, Luo Min found Zhou Ran. This kid has a really high talent for painting. He just casually submitted a painting to the competition and won the first prize.

The money is not much, not even enough for her paint expenses for two months, but the meaning is different.

"Wow, Ranran, you're so great! It's the National Youth Painting Competition!"

"It's a pity that art competitions don't give extra points anymore, otherwise you would have been able to go straight to the Academy of Fine Arts!"

There were other students in the class who participated in the competition and won awards, but they were only third prizes and participation prizes, and the prize money was not even a fraction of Zhou Ran's.

But they are also very happy.

I am in the second year of high school. In this era, students are still divided into arts and science, rather than 3+X. Art students will take the liberal arts exam.

There are currently more than 40 students in the class. According to information revealed by Luo Min, a group of people will join the art class from previous years in the senior year, and when there are many, there can be as many as 70 or 80 art students.

But when that time really comes, many students will go to other places to take the entrance exams for major art colleges and will not stay in school all the time.

Zhou Ran thought it over. When the time comes, the worst that can happen is that he can just take a leave and study at home.

Time has its own trajectory. In the following days, Zhou Ran studied and painted at his own pace. He went out to collect materials during the winter and summer vacations, and would also participate in competitions.

In a small circle, Zhou Ran is already considered a new generation painter.

The price of a painting ranges from 5000 yuan to 2 yuan, which is really a lot for a high school student.

However, Zhou Ran doesn't sell many paintings, at most three a year.

Why are most painters only valuable after they die? Because the number of their works left is limited.

For a living painter, unless he is a master of hype and very good at packaging, otherwise, it will be difficult!

After three years of hard work, Zhou Ran had a very solid foundation in basic skills, and had almost no obstacles in getting into the Xia Guo Academy of Fine Arts. However, her choice to apply to the Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts was something her teachers couldn't understand.

Does this child have any obsession with Tsinghua University?

Fortunately, in the end, Zhou Ran was admitted to the Chinese Painting Department of Xiaguo Academy of Fine Arts.

That’s right, Zhou Ran, who excels in oil painting, chose Chinese painting as his major, which are two completely different directions.

But who can blame her for having high scores? She has more choices of majors. If a child wants to learn Chinese painting, what can the teachers think? They just need to teach her well.

In this way, Zhou Ran began her four-year study of Chinese painting. When she graduated, her Chinese paintings had reached 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per square foot.

The number of paintings sent to the gallery is still three per year.

After going to college, Zhou Ran no longer accepted living expenses from her mother. She was an adult and her mother had no responsibility for her.

My stepfather tried to persuade me before, but it was unsuccessful.

Gradually, the interactions became less frequent.

There is still a family portrait hanging in my stepfather's law firm office. It is a picture of the three of them. It was a birthday painting that Zhou Ran gave to his half-brother.

Perhaps that was the only connection between their family and Zhou Ran.

After graduating from university, Zhou Ran became even more independent, traveling around the world. Even her agent had a hard time finding her.

Because paintings are sold at high prices, fakes are inevitable on the market. However, it is difficult to distinguish other people's paintings, but it is extremely easy to distinguish the authenticity of Zhou Ran's paintings. According to some collectors, Zhou Ran's paintings are spiritual.

After flying around the world for three years, Zhou Ran stopped in an ancient tourist town in Xia Country, found a partner she liked, and opened a homestay. Apart from paying the money, she didn't take care of anything else and was just a hands-off manager.

Anyway, she just needs to have her own room to live in, and the other guest rooms can be taken care of by her partners.

Zhou Ran was also surprised when she received the call from her mother. Except for the holidays, they hardly contacted each other.

"Ranran, can you come back?" the mother on the other end of the phone asked in tears.

"...Okay." Zhou Ran agreed without asking why.
