• Nie Yun disguised himself as a sage-like master and Yang Yan as a hulking brute, and they left the courtyard to make money.

Nie Yun posed as a Daoist master to lure Li Fu into believing that the layout of Fuyun Money House was causing trouble in his marriage. After Li Fu begged for help and offered money, Nie Yun rejected the offer and left Li Fu on his knees, pleading to be saved.

• Nie Yun chose Fuyun Money House as his target because he knew Li Fu would become a Human Traitor in the future.

• Li Fu fell to his knees and begged Nie Yun to save him.

Nie Yun tricked Li Fu into gathering 810 gold bars by claiming he could reverse the fortune of Li Fu and his wife. Li Fu’s wife interrupted the supposed ritual, and he discovered that Nie Yun had escaped with the gold.

• Nie Yun convinced Li Fu that his household’s yin imbalance could be fixed with a Reverse Fortune Array built on 810 gold bars.

• Nie Yun persuaded Li Fu and his subordinates to leave him alone in the courtyard for an hour.
• Ruhua overheard Li Fu talking about switching places with her and ordered him to move the gold back.
• Li Fu entered the courtyard and found Nie Yun gone, the gold stolen, and a carriage-sized hole in the wall, so he ordered a pursuit.

Nie Yun and Yang Yan escaped the search for the stolen gold and headed to the Luoshui Auction House, where they encountered Nie Yu. Nie Yun saw a chance to use Nie Yu to gain entry and promised Yang Yan a chance to settle the score later.

• Yang Yan praised Nie Yun for sending four decoy carriages in different directions, while Nie Yun kept the gold’s disappearance secret and revealed that his Storage Dantian had stored it.

• Nie Yu displayed his invitation to a private room and entered the auction house, prompting Yang Yan to complain that Nie Yun had stopped him from attacking.
• Nie Yun told Yang Yan to wait for his chance and led him into a secluded alley to disguise themselves again.

• Nie Yun disguised himself and led Yang Yan through a back window into the auction house, then bluffed their way past guards by claiming private room seventeen in the second row.

• Nie Yun recognized the Di Lian Flower’s value and began bidding for it from Room Seventeen, Second Row.
• Yang Jun, the Yang Family’s first heir, bid eighty thousand and told his servants the herb could double his power.
• Yang Jun raised his bid to one hundred twenty thousand, confident his rival would back down.
• When Nie Yun continued bidding, Yang Jun ordered his servant to reveal his identity and raised the price to one hundred fifty thousand.
• Nie Yun bid two hundred thousand and mocked Yang Jun on the auction plaque.

• Nie Yun bought the Di Lian Flower after Yang Jun stopped bidding and threatened to kill him later.
