At night, the main room was brightly lit. Zhao Wuji, who had finished his training and washed up, sat in a chair with a rosy complexion, his excitement evident!

Even the lost internal energy was restored by 30% thanks to Meng Fan's pill!

Moreover, after Meng Fan's intervention, his meridians expanded by nearly double! Not only were all the toxins removed from his internal organs, but his hidden injuries were also repaired by the power of the One-Finger Divine Skill! It won't be long before he returns to his peak condition, or even advances further!

It can be said that Meng Fan not only pulled him back from the brink of death, but also gave him an incredible stroke of luck!

"Xiongda, Xinlao Er, Yunlao San, from now on you must obey Young Master Meng's words unconditionally. Our Zhao family has now found a powerful patron!"

The three Zhao brothers were well aware that, not to mention Meng Fan's godlike abilities, even the elders from the Gold and Silver Sect who came to the mansion today would be treated with respect by any dynasty!

Besides, they are not ungrateful people; otherwise, General Dongfang, who is a member of the royal family, would not have granted the Zhao family the status of a private loan merchant!

The second son, Zhao Chuxin, said, "Father, elder brother, what are Young Master Meng's usual hobbies? We'd like to cater to his tastes!"

Zhao Wuji turned to look at his boss.

"Father, second brother, third brother, although I haven't had much contact with Young Master Meng, according to what Feng'er said and my analysis, Young Master Meng is usually very approachable, but he has an extreme passion for one thing!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly. Second Brother is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. My Zhao family's businesses are all over Zhanzhou. See if there's anything Young Master Meng likes here! If not, then look in other states!"

Zhao Chuxiong gave a wry smile and said, "Father, the things that Young Master Meng likes are not rare; every family has them."

Zhao Wuji kicked him in anger: "Hurry up and tell me, or I'll make you suffer three lashes of family discipline!"

The second and third brothers also urged them to hurry up!

Zhao Chuxiong quickly begged for mercy: "Father, Young Master Meng's only love is cash, the more the better. In fact, his sect's motto is that money can make the devil turn the millstone, which shows how much he loves silver!"

Zhao Wuji was taken aback, unable to understand why such a powerful sect was only interested in silver.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. He then stood up, took a wooden box from under his bed, returned to his seat, and said to his three sons.

"This is the wealth I've accumulated over the years. I originally intended to use it when the family faced difficulties, or to tell you the location of this box before I died. But it's no longer needed. Inside are 70,000 taels of general silver notes from Hengtong Bank, 10,000 taels of gold notes, 98 rare medicines stored at the manor, and 18 pieces of various treasures. Tomorrow, go to the bank and cash out all the medicines and treasures. Although the storage fees at Hengtong Bank are high, you should be able to withdraw a considerable amount of cash. Cash out all these things and send them to Young Master Meng!"

The three brothers stared in disbelief at their father.

Are we really that rich? How come we didn't know? When Zhao Wuji first handed over the family business to his second son, the family only had a few thousand taels of silver. It took several years of hard work to accumulate 40,000 taels of silver. How could Father have been hiding it?

In addition, Hengtong Money Shop charges very high fees. Depositing so much silver would probably cost two thousand taels a year, and more than ten thousand taels would just evaporate over several years!

Dad, you're so rich, wouldn't it be better if we saved it for you?

Zhao Wuji said irritably, "Hmph, if you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old. You have everything, so how would you know the difficulties of starting a business!"

He then paused, and added, "If I didn't have some confidence, how could I trust you to take over?"

The three men quickly agreed. Zhao Chuxiong took the box and handed it to his second brother: "Second brother, you have acquaintances at Hengtong Bank. Tonight, go and pull some strings to get the cash back to the mansion as quickly as possible!"

Hengtong Bank was spread across the five empires, with branches in almost every city. Even a large amount of the dynasty's royal tax silver was stored in Hengtong Bank, making its influence unimaginable!

Legend has it that the five dynasties that were vassals of the Ji Yuan Empire rebelled. When the Ji Yuan Empire destroyed the five dynasties, no silver was found in the five royal families. It was later learned that the five royal families knew that there was no way to turn the tide, so they deposited all the dynasty's silver into Hengtong Bank, which could only be withdrawn by the royal descendants. This angered the Ji Yuan Empire, which put extreme pressure on Hengtong Bank!

Even after Hengtong Bank paid a huge price, the Jiyuan Empire did not take a single penny. Considering its reputation, the Jiyuan Empire let Hengtong Bank go. From then on, Hengtong Bank's reputation for integrity spread throughout the Qingxuan Continent!

The next morning, in the main hall, Meng Fan and Zhao Wuji sat at the head of the table and said to Zhao Feng below, "Junior brother, our sect doesn't have that many rules. Just follow your heart in everything. If you enter the sect, learn skills, and then go out to do evil, the people in the sect will deal with you."

"Of the five elders present from my Gold and Silver Sect today, this is Elder Feng Qingyang, the one with the highest cultivation level. You don't need to worry about his exact cultivation level. His swordsmanship is superb; he's more than capable of teaching you. Just accept him as your master."

In the past two days, Zhao Chuxiong has brought Meng Fan many strange and unusual stories from the mainland as well as ordinary martial arts classics, making him understand the current system's grading mechanism.

Feng Qingyang is currently at the Grandmaster level, which is classified as level 1.4 according to the system, similar to Meng Fan's current level.

I learned from the system that its grading system doesn't have any levels; it's about the levels at which an individual can exert their strength.

However, because Meng Fan cultivated the Wushi Yuanjing, the system could no longer determine his strength.

Furthermore, thanks to Meng Fan's empowerment of their cultivation techniques, Feng Qingyang and the others broke through to new heights as easily as eating and drinking!

How awkward would it be if Meng Fan said Feng Qingyang was a Grandmaster now, and then suddenly became a Great Grandmaster after a while!
