Chapter 821: Total Interest

Lin Muxi's face turned from green to red. Realizing she had been played by Ye Lin, she gritted her silver teeth in anger.

"Bastard, get lost! Get lost right now!"

"Alright, then I'm rolling away."

Ye Lin turned around, leaving only his back to Lin Muxi, his tone suddenly deepening.

"I have a grudge that needs to be settled, and my enemy is very powerful."

"If I can come back alive after settling the grudge... never mind, I shouldn't say such depressing things."

"Muxi, you're a good girl. Forget about me."

Ye Lin flashed and disappeared.

"Wait!"

Lin Muxi exclaimed, but Ye Lin was already far away, which caused a look of anger to appear in Lin Muxi's eyes.

"You damn bastard! Would it kill you to ask me for help?"

Lin Muxi bit her red lip hard. Every time she thought about how she had just taken the initiative to purse her lips, only for Ye Lin to suddenly step back, her cheeks burned fiercely.

Clearly, she practiced the "Wunian Wuching Record," practiced the "Ruthless Dao," but now she felt her emotions being led by someone else.

Ye Lin went straight out of the Joyous Union Sect; he was going to see the second important person.

Ye Lin came to an inn in a mortal city and sat in the most conspicuous position in the shop for several days in a row.

That person was looking for him all over the world; as long as he appeared in the public eye, the other party would definitely take the initiative to see him.

The inn was filled with all kinds of people all day long.

There were passing martial arts heroes, rich young masters who would pay for everyone's consumption with a wave of money, and merchant caravans traveling everywhere.

People of all shapes and sizes came and went, and many noticed Ye Lin.

But whether it was his temperament or appearance, Ye Lin gave people a feeling of being hard to approach.

Everyone was an old hand who had been struggling in this world for a long time, and almost at a glance, they recognized that Ye Lin must be a cultivator, and his cultivation wasn't weak either.

This meant that for several days, no one dared to greet Ye Lin, and Ye Lin was naturally happy to be left alone.

And on the afternoon of the fourth day, Ye Lin finally waited for the person he was waiting for.

It was mealtime, and the inn was bustling with people clinking glasses and exchanging cups.

Just then, a young nun wearing a washed-white monk's robe walked into the inn.

Even without a single hair, it couldn't hide the delicacy and exquisiteness of the young nun's features; her unadorned face was white with a hint of red, revealing a sense of elegant beauty.

Many people in the inn looked at the young nun; they couldn't imagine how naturally beautiful she must have been before becoming a nun.

"Amitabha."

The young nun walked to Ye Lin's table, chanted a Buddhist name, and looked at Ye Lin with resentful black eyes.

"Patron Ye, you really have made this poor nun search so hard."

This young nun was naturally Fanxin, who had been tricked by Ye Lin during the East Profound Sect competition years ago.

"Everything in the world is nothing more than the arising and ceasing of conditions; all conditioned phenomena are just the combination of causes and conditions. When conditions arise, they arise; when conditions cease, they vanish. It is nothing more than this."

Ye Lin smiled and continued faintly.

"You didn't find me before, it was nothing more than the fact that the fate between us hadn't arrived."

Fanxin was stunned upon hearing this. Could this Ye Lin actually have a deeper understanding of Buddhism than his brother, Ye Xiehong?

After listening to Ye Lin's words, Fanxin actually had the urge to seek enlightenment on the spot.

"Amitabha."

Fanxin chanted a Buddhist name to calm herself down and pushed a storage bag in front of Ye Lin.

"The cause of the past, the fruit of today; it is time to settle it. Inside are 1,000 top-grade Immortal Source Stones. You calculate how much interest there is, and this poor nun will settle it all at once."

Fanxin hadn't realized the severity of the situation yet, appearing as calm as a chrysanthemum.

"No problem, then I will calculate the interest now."

Ye Lin grinned, revealing twelve big white teeth, looking just like a weasel about to steal a chicken.

"This IOU was signed about sixteen years ago. I won't bother with the fragmented days; let's calculate the interest based on sixteen years."

"Sixteen years, 365 days a year, that's a total of 5,840 days of interest."

"According to our agreement at the time, the interest for the first day was only two low-grade Immortal Source Stones, and the interest doubles every day."

"So now, the total interest is 2 to the power of 5,840. Let me calculate... this number is a bit too big."

Even with Ye Lin's infinitely regenerating brain, his brain cells were dying frantically at this moment.

He took out paper and pen and began to calculate frantically.

"This number is too huge; writing it out completely isn't realistic, but I can use the properties of logarithmic and exponential operations to calculate its approximate value and partial digits."

"First, use logarithmic conversion, take the natural logarithm (ln) to simplify the calculation......"

"...... ln(2)≈0.693147....... so 5840×0.693147≈4047.978......"

"Convert the logarithmic result back to exponential form, then calculate ln(10)≈2.302585......"

Seeing Ye Lin writing densely on the paper, Fanxin realized something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

"Did you calculate wrong? Why is it so complicated?"

"Didn't calculate wrong, don't worry... it'll be calculated soon... this string of numbers is terrifyingly long..."

Ye Lin wrote on several sheets of paper, calculated for half a day, and even used several great divine abilities, letting his brain regenerate dozens of times.

Finally, Ye Lin slapped his head.

"Alright, round it off... estimated!"

"The total interest you need to pay me is... this number is too long for me to read. The total is just this much, you can see for yourself. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"

Ye Lin handed the two sheets of paper to Fanxin.

Fanxin took a look, her face full of confusion.

"Patron Ye, why are you drawing so many eggs on these two sheets of paper?"

"Those aren't eggs, those are the zeros after the total interest," Ye Lin explained thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Fanxin's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and the depths of her eyes were filled with disbelief.

She picked up the two sheets of paper and looked carefully; sure enough, the beginning was two numbers, not 0.

Those two numbers were 25, and then Fanxin began to count how many zeros were after the number 25.

"One, two, three, four, five... one hundred... one thousand... one thousand seven hundred and fifty-seven??"

Fanxin no longer had the calmness of a monastic; she screamed as if she had stepped on poop.

"There are 1,757 zeros after 25? What kind of astronomical number is this? Why don't you just go rob someone?" ===== CHAPTER 822 =====
