168: Chapter 168: Three copies sold, fifth-tier martial artist Wang Tianming

She suddenly remembered something and pulled up a file: "Sister, look, this is the information I had someone find on Lin Yun."

Zhao Muyi took it and read it carefully.

"Twenty-one years old... Jiangcheng Lin Family... Fertility Holy Body... six wives..."

Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Fertility Holy Body?" She looked up at her younger sister, "What kind of Physique is this? Have you heard of it?"

Zhao Yiyi shook her head: "Never heard of it."

"But according to the data, he wasn't even a Martial Artist three years ago, and now he is at Second-Stage Perfection."

"And his six wives, originally four of them couldn't even get into a Martial Arts University, and the other two only barely qualified, but now they are all at First-Stage Perfection."

She leaned closer to her sister and lowered her voice: "Sister, do you think... such a special Physique really exists? It feels so perverted."

Zhao Muyi was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "The Universe is so vast, there will always be things we cannot understand."

She returned the file to her sister and turned to look at the night sky outside the window.

"This Lin Yun... is interesting."

Zhao Yiyi leaned over: "Sister, are you going to meet him?"

Zhao Muyi shook her head: "No rush. Let's wait until he truly grows up."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:

"However, I am looking forward to seeing how far he will go."

...

The same conversation was playing out in different places among different people.

Some were amazed, some jealous, some curious, and some disdainful.

But regardless, the name Lin Yun had spread throughout Tianshui Martial Arts University overnight.

And the person in question was currently immersed in a gentle embrace, completely unaware of everything in the outside world.

...

The next morning.

Lin Yun slowly woke up. Looking at his wives still sleeping in his arms, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

Last night... was truly a bit crazy.

He gently withdrew his arm, not disturbing anyone, and got up to go to the window.

Pushing open the window, fresh air rushed in.

In the distance, the silhouette of Tianshui Martial Arts University appeared faintly in the morning light.

Three days later, there would be results from the Imperial Star.

What kind of Secret Technique would he receive?

What grade of Golden Core could he condense?

Where would the future lead?

Lin Yun clenched his fists, light flashing in his eyes.

No matter what, he had to seize this opportunity.

That person who had always been waiting for him to defeat them.

Sister Wen Yan.

And... Shen Qingqiu.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

This day had just begun.

...

Su Yingxue woke up, the bedding beside her already slightly cool.

Looking up, she saw Lin Yun standing by the window, his brows tightly locked.

His expression carried a touch of annoyance and helplessness.

Su Yingxue gently got up, draped a thin garment over her shoulders, and quietly walked behind Lin Yun. She reached out to gently wrap her arms around his waist, pressing her cheek against his back.

"Husband, why are you up so early?"

Su Yingxue's lazy voice carried a hint of sleepiness.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yun snapped out of his thoughts, turned around to pull her into his arms, and lowered his head to gently kiss her forehead.

Su Yingxue leaned against his chest, lifting her eyes that still held a hint of hazy sleepiness. Looking at his furrowed brows, she reached out to smooth them with a look of concern:

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Lin Yun sighed, his tone carrying a bit of helplessness:

"Sigh, I miscalculated."

"Miscalculated?" Su Yingxue blinked, "What did you miscalculate?"

Lin Yun pulled up the virtual screen, enlarged the interface, and pointed to the data on it:

"Do you remember the Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Technique I submitted to the Empire, the 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method'?"

Su Yingxue nodded:

"I remember, it was over a month ago. Didn't you say it was the peak of peak grade, the Empire gave it an A+ rating, and it would definitely sell well?"

"Yes, that's what I thought at the time too."

Lin Yun smiled bitterly.

"But guess what? It's been over a month, and it's only sold three copies."

"Three copies?!" Su Yingxue was surprised, her sleepiness instantly vanishing.

"How is that possible? The 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method' has an A+ rating!"

"And now is the start of the school season, countless new students need to buy Cultivation Techniques to Cultivate. It should be very popular, how could there only be three copies?"

Lin Yun didn't answer directly, but instead pulled up the search interface.

He entered "Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Technique".

The moment he pressed the confirm key, the interface instantly refreshed with a dense list of Cultivation Technique names, stretching endlessly.

"You'll know once you see it."

Lin Yun said, his fingertips sliding to flip page after page.

The Cultivation Techniques on the interface kept switching, all of them being Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Techniques with varying ratings.

Su Yingxue stared blankly, until Lin Yun had flipped through a full hundred pages.

Only then did she find the "Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method" in an inconspicuous corner.

"This... there are so many?" Su Yingxue was completely shocked. She had never thought that there would be so many just for the yellow-rank peak.

"I thought that yellow-rank peak Cultivation Techniques were rare, I didn't expect there to be so many. No wonder no one noticed the 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method'."

Lin Yun leaned against the window, his tone full of exclamation:

"Yes, the Empire is just too big."

"There are nearly a hundred Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Techniques with an A+ rating alone."

"If you remove the A+ tag, it's just like it is now; you have to flip for half a day to find the 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method', and no one will notice it at all."

He had previously fully believed that by submitting this top-tier Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Technique rewarded by the System, he could just lie back and collect money. After all, the quality of this Cultivation Technique was there, and the Imperial rating was also top-tier.

But he never expected that during the school season, when the demand for Cultivation Techniques was at its peak, only three copies would be sold.

"The 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method' is priced at 100 million, students can buy it at half price, so three copies equals 150 million. Splitting it 50/50 with the Imperial authorities, I only get 75 million."

Lin Yun shrugged helplessly.

"This is worlds apart from what I thought. I thought I would make a fortune, but it turns out to be just this much."

Su Yingxue quickly held his hand and comforted him softly:

"Husband, don't be upset, 75 million is not a small amount. After all, it's just the beginning, maybe the sales will be higher later."

"And when you submitted it to the authorities, didn't you already get a reward of 1 billion? That's already enough."

Lin Yun smiled and kissed her again. The annoyance in his eyes gradually dissipated:

"Don't worry, I'm not upset, I'm just a bit surprised."

"However, I have realized that selling Cultivation Techniques and Combat Techniques is indeed highly profitable."

"Look at these top-ranked Cultivation Techniques, the authors are all experts who specialize in creating Cultivation Techniques to sell."

He tapped his finger, and the top-ranked "Nine-Fold Guidance Technique" popped up on the interface.

The author column clearly wrote the three big characters "Wang Tianming".

It was also marked with detailed information:

Imperial Star Martial Artist, Fifth-Order cultivation.

"Look at this Wang Tianming,"

Lin Yun's tone carried a hint of envy.

"The strongest Martial Artist on Minglu Planet is only Fourth-Order, yet he, a Fifth-Order Martial Artist, actually specializes in creating Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Techniques to sell."

"Look at this sales volume, it's almost broken one million copies. How much money must this make? I'm drooling just looking at it."
