About two minutes later, Qin Ning descended with Wu Lei in front of a deserted warehouse in the provincial capital of Dong Province.
At this moment, Wu Lei still had a look of shock on his face.
Everything he had experienced today completely overturned his understanding of the world.
To think that people like Qin Ning actually existed in this world.
Was he a legendary immortal cultivator?
Weren't those just fictional characters from novels?
"Young Master... Young Master Qin, please wait a moment. I will call someone to bring the keys over right now," Wu Lei said.
Qin Ning said, "No need."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body flashed, and he disappeared from the spot with Wu Lei. When they reappeared, they were already inside the warehouse.
Teleportation?
Wu Lei was shocked again.
The doors and windows of the warehouse were tightly shut; not even a fly or mosquito could fly in.
But now, under such circumstances, Qin Ning had directly teleported here with him.
This kind of method made Wu Lei feel even more astonished than when he was carried flying all the way here just now.
Qin Ning did not waste words. He directly released his divine sense to inspect all the stones in the warehouse.
This warehouse was very large, and there was a huge amount of jade placed inside. However, with the power of Qin Ning's divine sense, it took less than a second to scan through all the stones.
Then, with a slight flick of his finger, nearly two hundred pieces of jade flew up and were stored into his storage space.
This method once again left Wu Lei dumbfounded.
An immortal cultivator!
This was definitely an ability that only an immortal cultivator could possess!
"I didn't expect Dong Province to have quite a few jades of good quality."
Qin Ning suddenly spoke. He expanded the range of his divine sense again, covering the entire Dong Province. After speaking, he disappeared from the warehouse with Wu Lei, as if the two had never been there.
In the next second, they appeared at the entrance of a deserted alley.
Wu Lei recognized this place; it was the largest jade trading street in the provincial capital.
Qin Ning walked over with Wu Lei based on the location detected by his divine sense.
Soon, the two arrived in front of a jewelry store.
Unlike ordinary raw jade, what was sold here was jewelry polished into ornaments, some even inlaid with gold or diamonds, looking quite flashy.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to buy?"
A young female sales clerk warmly greeted them the moment she saw Qin Ning and Wu Lei appear.
Qin Ning did not speak, but walked straight to a display counter.
There were about a hundred items displayed in the counter, surrounded by bulletproof glass on all four sides.
He swept his gaze over them and then pointed to a few items in the counter. "This one, this one, and this one..."
The female sales clerk enthusiastically took out the items he pointed to and placed them in front of Qin Ning.
But Qin Ning had no intention of examining or studying them. Instead, he said something that left both the sales clerk and Wu Lei dumbfounded: "Except for these few pieces you took out, wrap up everything else inside for me."
"You... you mean, except for these few pieces, you want all the rest?" The female clerk widened her eyes, thinking she must have misheard.
She had worked here for several years and had seen wealthy spenders, but she had never seen anyone this extravagant.
One must know that what they sold here were all extremely high-end brands. Even the cheapest ones cost tens of thousands, and the expensive ones could reach up to millions.
With Qin Ning buying like this, the items in the counter could absolutely not be taken away for less than thirty million!
Thirty million!
She had never seen so much money in her entire life.
"Young Master Qin told you to wrap them up, so just wrap them up."
Wu Lei spoke up, then directly took out a bank card and handed it to the clerk. "However much it is, just swipe the card."
"Uh... o-okay... Please wait a moment, you two. I need to calculate the bill first..."
The hand the female clerk used to take the card was trembling; she was so excited she almost fainted.
One must know that working here meant earning a commission.
It was two percent of the goods' value.
If thirty million worth of goods in the counter were really sold, she would get at least six hundred thousand in commission!
Soon, under the incredibly envious gazes of the other sales clerks, the female clerk who received Qin Ning and Wu Lei quickly calculated the bill.
The store manager was also alerted and came out to personally serve tea and water to Qin Ning and Wu Lei.
"Are you... Young Master Wu?"
While pouring tea for Wu Lei, the middle-aged manager seemed to recognize him, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
Just now, he was still wondering which rich young master was so extravagant as to sweep the goods in his store.
He didn't expect it to actually be Wu Lei, the eldest young master of the wealthiest family in Dong Province!
"You know me?" Wu Lei was taken aback for a moment.
The manager smiled respectfully and said, "I saw you from a distance at a press conference before."
Wu Lei just nodded, then looked at Qin Ning, "Young Master Qin, see if there is anything else in the store that catches your eye besides these?"
Qin Ning shook his head, "There's nothing else here. We'll go to the next store later."
"Understood, Young Master Qin." Wu Lei replied respectfully.
This completely dumbfounded the store manager standing to the side.
Wu Lei, the eldest young master of the wealthiest family in Dong Province, was actually so respectful to this young man!
Young Master Qin?
He had never heard of such a figure in the country.
As for Young Master Wang and Young Master Cai in the Magic City, he had heard people discussing them quite a bit on the internet.
"Gentlemen, the price has been calculated. It comes to a total of thirty million and five hundred seventy thousand. Here is the itemized list, please check it over."
Soon, the female clerk walked over, looking a little excited, her voice uncontrollably trembling as she spoke.
"Young Master Qin, Young Master Wu, thirty million is enough. I'll make the call and waive the five hundred seventy thousand fraction for you." The manager said with a smile.
The profit margin in this industry was huge. Even if the five hundred seventy thousand was waived, and the clerk's commission was added, the store would still make a profit.
Moreover, if this could leave a good impression on Qin Ning and Wu Lei, it would definitely be worth it for him!
"Swipe the card, and then have someone move all the items to that vehicle outside," Wu Lei said.
Not long after entering the store just now, he had called to arrange for a small truck to come over.
This was Qin Ning's request.
Obviously, Wu Lei also knew that the other party did not want to display those supernatural abilities in front of others.
Otherwise, why bother with a truck?
With a direct wave of his hand, all the items could be stored into Qin Ning's storage space.
"Alright."
The manager responded very enthusiastically, then quickly arranged for manpower to load everything onto the truck.
The driver had already given the car keys to Wu Lei just now and then left on his own.
After the goods were all loaded, Wu Lei personally drove, taking Qin Ning to the next jade store.
Watching the truck drive away and then stop in front of another store over a hundred meters away, the store manager from earlier couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Rich people really are different.
They even drive a truck to buy things like jewelry and jade!

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances.

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
