After having a casual meal, Yuan Lixuan took a few turns and led them to a s.p.a.cious street.

On this big street, there weren't much people. The decorations of the shops at the sides of the street were exceedingly plain and simple. However, there was a baselessly profound atmosphere pervading the street.

”What is this place?” He Yitian astoundedly asked.

”This is the street of county town's most reputed antique shops,” Yuan Lixuan proudly said, ”Every antique here is at least five hundred years old. The good stuff in here is simply too vast to be countable. You can only slowly explore by yourself. If your luck is not good, you can only return with empty hands. However, if your luck is good, striking rich overnight is also not uncommon.”

He Yiming faintly nodded. He wasn't too fond of such things. However, He Yitian appeared to be somewhat interested.

With the introduction of Yuan Lixuan, they headed towards a store that reportedly had some good commodities.

He Yiming gently tugged and said, ”Brother Yuan, does your family have a shop here?”

Yuan Lixuan's face turned slightly red, ”Unfortunately, our Yuan family doesn't deal in antiques.”

He Yitian took out a gold ingot that was more than ten taels heavy and said, ”Yiming, I'm going in to take a look. If you don't want to come, you might as well roam on your own. We'll meet here again two hours later.”

He Yiming thought for a bit, then said, ”All right.”

However, he didn't accept the ingot from his elder brother's hands, and instead took out two himself with a flip of his hand.

Stuffing one into He Yitian hands, he gently laughed and left, heading towards the depths of the street.

Watching his brother's retreating figure, He Yitian couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder, wondering how could he have so much wealth despite being so young.

However, he didn't know that the current wealth He Yiming had displayed was merely what he'd acquired from Hubin's body. As for the gifts that the four big influential families of Fire Crow country had given to him, the most of them had been left in the Xie Residence. If He Yitian were to see those things, he would be absolutely terrified.

He Yiming indeed didn't have an ounce of interest in the antiques on this street. He simply couldn't comprehend why would people chase after these things which could neither be eaten nor drunk. Even his father was quite obsessed over these items.

Perhaps for the current He Yiming, only the road of martial dao was the true target of his pursuit.

Especially after attaining the Xiantian realm, with every breath he took, he could distinctly feel that he'd not attained the peak. It was akin to climbing a mountain only to discover that this small mountain was nothing but an entrance to a big mountain that penetrates the clouds.

This made him recall the mountain behind the He manor. That big mountain with flouris.h.i.+ng nature was enough to make the majority of people lose their way. However, the reality was that it was merely a small entrance. Only after entering inside this entrance would one be able to see the gigantic mountain range that stretched across millions of li, running through the entire northwest region.

He Yiming's footsteps were soundless and nimble. He headed towards the street's exit. However, as soon as his foot stepped out of the street, he suddenly turned back and walked. But his movements remained graceful and nimble, not attracting anyone's attention.

A moment ago, he'd caught sight of an individual. If he hadn't remembered wrong, it was precisely Fan Vastmoon whom he'd encountered while returning from the Fire Crow country. As soon as he saw him, he thought of the Fan family. However, he wasn't sure if the two were related.

Beside Fan Vastmoon were two attendants. The three individuals rus.h.i.+ngly arrived before a shop and entered without the slightest hesitation.

He Yiming immediately swept his vision around, silently circled around, and snuck inside.

With his strength, if he wished to engage in such shady affairs, he wouldn't be discovered even under broad daylight.

The back of this shop was extended to a several ten meters big courtyard, which further contained more than ten buildings.

With the help of True Qi, He Yiming immediately discovered that this place was heavily guarded. There were actually ten cultivator guards, one among whom was even an eight layer expert.

For such an expert to appear inside a shop indeed felt quite queer. His heart faintly trembled, 'Don't tell me this place is concealing some secret?'

Not long after, Fan Vastmoon entered one of the buildings with a middle-aged man. He Yiming immediately focused inside this building.

Although he couldn't see the interaction of his true Qi with the mysterious external energies with his eyes, in his perception, he could receive a substantial amount of information regarding the movements and sounds made by the individuals inside.

”Second young master&h.e.l.lip; how come it's not big young master this time?” The middle-aged man's voice gently echoed. At the same time, a scene of the middle-aged man cautiously asking this question appeared in He Yiming's mind. Furthermore, he could strangely even comprehend this middle-aged man's state of mind, seeming as if he didn't trust Fan Vastmoon but had no way out.

Indistinctly, He Yiming somewhat understood. In this clan, this young master's reputation was evidently not good. Whereas that big young master's impression was quite favourable.
