Seeing Yun Lintian was silent, Ye Xiaolong hurriedly said, "I'll ask Master Kong for more discount. Brother Ye can wait for a moment."

Yun Lintian suddenly laughed and stopped Ye Xiaolong. "No need, Brother Ye. I can afford it. I just can't believe it would be this cheap." 

It wasn't Yun Lintian boasting, but he did think like this. To him, these beddings plus ten Snow Wind Silkworms should be at least one billion gold coins, and he even prepared some Middle-grade Profound Stones before this, in case his gold coins were not enough.

Yun Lintian waved his hand, and several stacks of gold notes landed on the ground, along with small piles of gold coins.

Ye Xiaolong and his two bodyguards stared at the mountain of gold notes and gold coins in front of them in shock. Even though they were the Ye clan members, they had never seen this enormous amount of wealth before.

"This…" Ye Xiaolong became stuttered. His eyes swept over Yun Lintian's hands and found nothing… Where the hell did he keep all of this money?

Yun Lintian saw through his thought and smiled faintly, offering nothing for an explanation. It was his plan, deliberate creating the mysteriousness around him. With this, Ye Xiaolong won't dare to have an ulterior motive for him again.

Ye Xiaolong came back to his sense and hurriedly told his two bodyguards and some servants on the outside to carry all of the gold notes and gold coins away.

"If Brother Ye sill needs something, please don't hesitate to tell me. I'll try my best to find them for you." Ye Xiaolong put a flattering smile up.

Now, Ye Xiaolong was certain Yun Lintian was hailed from one of the top fractions in the Northern Continent. Befriending this kind of character was definitely benefited him in the future. That was why he tried to get on Yun Lintian's good side.

Yun Lintian smiled on the outside, but he was snickered inwardly because Ye Xiaolong had fallen entirely into the illusion he created as he expected. 

"Alright, I'll certainly look for Brother Ye if I need anything else. You can go back first." Yun Lintian said.

Ye Xiaolong was delighted. It seemed Yun Lintian had approved the relationship with him. He said, "Then I'll go first."

Yun Lintian watched Ye Xiaolong left the courtyard and letting out a soft chuckle.

"Why don't we just kill him? You've revealed too much information to him." Yun Huanxin said while lying on one bedding comfortably.

Yun Qianxue was also thought the same. It would be best if they killed Ye Xiaolong right now.

Yun Lintian shook his head and explained his thoughts. "We don't need to kill him because in his mind right now, there is a powerful force behind us. Aside from being arrogant, he is not entirely stupid. He won't dare to bet offending us by telling others our information."

"And if we killed him, I am certain, his family would send someone after us. I know with Huanxin here, they won't be able to get us easily. However, there's nothing such as absolutely safe in this world. Both of you know that. Therefore, instead of having someone trailing us, why don't we make them fear us and stop thinking how to come after us?"

Yun Qianxue and Yun Huanxin looked at Yun Lintian with admiration. They felt Yun Lintian's meticulous thinking was no different from Yun Ruanyu or even better in reading people's minds. The more they witnessed this, the more curious they became. They honestly wanted to know what exactly his background was in his past life.

In truth, Yun Lintian was merely preventing the cliche situation in those novels from happening. He knew once he killed Ye Xiaolong, his elder would come after him for revenge. And then his uncle would come. After that, it would be his father and his grandfather until everyone in his clan come. He just didn't want to experience that situation.

Yun Lintian waved his hand and stored all the beddings in his interspatial ring. He moved to a large ice jar and saw ten palm-size white silkworms wriggling in it.

"So this is the Snow Wind Silkworm? What a cute little guy." Yun Lintian used his finger to poke the silkworm playfully, and the next moment, his finger suddenly started to freeze.

"Woah, so fierce?" Yun Lintian retracted his finger, and Yun Qianxue quickly used her profound energy to prevent his finger from freezing further.

Yun Huanxin came to his side and looked at the Snow Wind Silkworm. "You shouldn't have teased them. Do you know, the fully grown-up Snow Wind Silkworm can easily freeze the Ruler Profound Realm's practitioner with no problem?"

Yun Lintian's jaw dropped in shock. He admitted he didn't know much about the Snow Wind Silkworm, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful.

"How could people raise them here?" Yun Lintian asked in puzzlement. 

Yun Huanxin shook her head, "You should ask Sister Qingrou about it."

"Where to go next?" After checking Yun Lintian's finger was fine, Yun Qianxue asked.

Yun Lintian smiled and said, "We will continue to head north for the time being. I want to find a secluded place with some low-level profound beasts and concentrate on practice."

Yun Qianxue nodded, "Leaving tonight?"

Yun Lintian touched his chin. "No. We will leave in the morning."

Yun Qianxue and Yun Huanxin didn't say anything further, and the three of them went back to their own room, continue to practice.

"Hu!" Sitting on the bed, Yun Lintian let out a long breath and looked at the emptied Profound Stone in his hand.

He had been trying to break through to the Essence Profound Realm, but he discovered his Beyond Heaven Profound Vein was like a bottomless pit. He had wasted twenty High-grade Profound Stones until now, but his progress did not seem to improve at all.

Yun Lintian frowned and pondered whether he missed something. To practice the Primordial Beyond Heaven Scripture, ones needed to improve three ways — Body, Essence, and Soul altogether. However, Yun Lintian didn't think any one of them was inferior. What did he miss then?
