High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

"Lin Hanzhou, 18 years old, a senior high school student at Lin'an No. 2 Middle School."

"Background: His parents died in an accident during a mission to explore the Spirit Void when he was young, leaving him a considerable amount of compensation and an apartment in the Blue Bay Community, which enabled him to establish himself in Lin'an City."

"School performance: Excellent academic performance, consistently ranking among the top ten in the grade."

"He is calm and composed, but his personality is somewhat aloof, and he doesn't interact much with his classmates."

"Martial Arts Talent: Awakened to a superior Grade D talent during the awakening ceremony at the age of eighteen."

"According to the academy's assessment, if one does not have a great stroke of luck in this life, the highest achievement one can attain in one's lifetime will be no more than the third-level Qi Sea Realm."

Looking at these unremarkable documents, a playful smile appeared on Zhang Yiran's beautiful face.

"A talent of the lowest rank, born into a commoner family—how could someone with such a background possess the cultivation of the second-tier Qi Gathering Realm at the age of eighteen?"

She murmured to herself, gently tapping the table with her slender fingers.

"It seems that this Lin Hanzhou must have recently obtained some unknown opportunity."

She parted her lips slightly and murmured to herself.

Zhang Yiran was somewhat interested in this, but not much.

After all, the so-called opportunity is too broad in scope.

Perhaps the other person was just lucky and stumbled upon a high-quality spiritual fruit that no one recognized at a street stall, and then broke through to the next level after consuming it?

In this situation, what opportunity could she possibly seize? Could she possibly steal the fruit pit he left behind?

Therefore, Zhang Yiran only treated this matter as an interesting pastime, and showed little interest in it.

Just as she was about to turn off the computer screen and go to the training room to cultivate,

The information about Lin Hanzhou on the screen suddenly updated.

The update was simple: it detailed Lin Hanzhou's recent experience of making a transaction on the black market.

The items he sold, as well as the cultivation techniques he purchased, were all recorded in detail.

Clearly, this was the latest intelligence just sent back from the black market by a spy from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.

Zhang Yiran's gaze slowly fell on the list of items for sale.

【Void Star Iron (Tier 3, High Grade)】

Dragon Blood Grass (Tier 3, High Grade)

【Soul-Replenishing Lotus (Tier 3, High Grade)】

When she saw the names of the three items, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Her eyes, which had previously held a hint of languor, were now filled with shock.

"This...how is this possible?!"

She suddenly stood up from her chair, losing her composure like never before.

These three items are no ordinary treasures.

It's not like the trash you can find at a street stall.

These are three top-tier, top-grade items among the third-tier treasures.

Any one of these items would be enough to make a fourth-order True Essence Realm expert envious.

How could this guy named Lin Hanzhou possibly possess a treasure of this level?!

"No...no..."

Zhang Yiran's breathing became a little rapid, and her clever mind began to work at a rapid pace.

"He hasn't left Lin'an City at all these days, so it's impossible that he found it somewhere in the wild."

"Then, these treasures could only have come from... the Spirit Void!"

"A commoner with only a third-class talent would not have the ability to venture into those high-risk spiritual realms controlled by powerful forces."

"Therefore, he must have entered a completely new, undiscovered spiritual void, and it is probably very safe inside."

"And where is the entrance to this spiritual realm?"

"He hasn't left the city these days, so the entrance is very likely in his own home."

"If it is a small spatial channel with minimal spatial fluctuations, then it makes sense that it was not detected by the city lord's monitoring array."

"All the changes that have happened to him these days stem from that Lingxu."

"He can freely enter and exit it, and even take out the treasures inside."

Thinking about this, Zhang Yiran couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up for her near-perfect intelligence.

This reasoning, whether logical or otherwise, is entirely sound.

A brand new Spirit Void that has not yet been discovered, is safe, and can produce top-tier Tier 3 treasures.

What does this mean?

This represents a vast and ever-flowing source of wealth.

Any brand-new spirit is a money-making machine.

Even though they are a large and powerful family, controlling the economic lifeline of the entire Linhai City, the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.

Currently, the number of independent spirit voids possessed is only three.

This is enough to show how precious Lingxu is.

"If there really is a new Spirit Void, then I must obtain it."

In Zhang Yiran's eyes, greed completely overcame reason.

A spirit realm where even a second-tier martial artist can bring out a third-tier top-grade treasure must contain immeasurable wealth.

As for what to do if her guess is wrong?

What else can we do? Will it cause her any loss? At most, she might feel a little down.

Anyway, the other person is just an average student.

There couldn't possibly be any major power behind it.

After all, have you ever seen a direct descendant of a powerful family personally go to the black market to secretly make a deal?

If we can't extract any useful information from them, then we can just kill them.

Afterwards, just find any excuse to claim that he "died accidentally due to a cultivation deviation."

With the influence of her father, a fifth-level Spirit Gathering Realm expert, handling such a trivial matter was incredibly easy for her.

With that thought in mind, Zhang Yiran no longer hesitated.

She immediately contacted her bodyguard via internal communication.

"Uncle Qiao, could you please come to my place?"

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a towering figure and a stern face appeared silently in the office.

He was Qiao Fang, the bodyguard specially assigned to Zhang Yiran by her father.

A genuine fourth-tier True Essence Realm expert.

"Young Miss, what are your orders?"

Qiao Fang's deep voice was like the clash of metal and stone.

Zhang Yiran didn't hide anything and simply explained her reasoning and plan to him.

After listening, Qiao Fang looked thoughtful.

"Indeed, as you said, this situation is not impossible. I remember that more than ten years ago, a spirit was discovered in the neighboring city."

"But Miss, isn't it a bit inappropriate to take action against a college entrance exam candidate based on a mere guess?"

"What's wrong with that? This is a suspected discovery of a new spiritual void. As long as we keep it discreet, it'll be fine."

"Even if the other party, a piece of trash with a talent level of D, simply disappeared, people would probably still know."

Zhang Yiran waved her hand impatiently, her eyes full of contempt for Lin Hanzhou.

"Yes, Miss."

Seeing that his young mistress had made up her mind, Qiao Fang said no more.

"Let's go, let's go to their house now. I can't wait to see that hidden entrance to the spirit realm."

Zhang Yiran stood up, a confident smile on her face.
