The same scene was unfolding at the entrances of various branches of the Loan Treasure Pavilion in Heroic Spirit City.
In the end, the Chen Long Army had no choice but to dispatch a large number of soldiers to maintain order on the streets.
A Daoist technique was unleashed, knocking a troublemaking cultivator to the ground, and several Chen Long Army soldiers wielding large blades immediately restrained the person on the spot!
Fang Feixue led a team to quell the brawl, and this was already the eighth such incident she had suppressed today.
"Damn Gu Feng! Why do I have to clean up your mess!"
Fang Feixue angrily kicked over a troublemaking cultivator, glaring in the direction of Qiong Feng Pavilion with gritted teeth.
She recalled that night when she left Qiong Feng Pavilion, she had strongly protested to her adoptive father, Lu Zhen, refusing to take on the task of leading the new army under Gu Feng.
However, Lu Zhen had firmly rejected her protest, urging her to consider the bigger picture and giving Gu Feng a high evaluation.
Lu Zhen had said, "This young man, at such a young age, already possesses such cunning and courage. His future is boundless. Feixue, for the sake of the bright future of our hundred thousand brothers in the Chen Long Army, you must endure, you have to endure! One day, if Gu Feng truly becomes the next City Lord, our actions today will have forged a good relationship with him!"

Faced with Lu Zhen's earnest persuasion, Fang Feixue could only grit her teeth and accept her fate. But the thought of serving under Gu Feng in the future left her restless and agitated!
That night, the scene of Gu Feng forcing her to kneel and worship him with the Order of Heroic Spirit was something she couldn't forget. The thought of Gu Feng's smug and wicked smile made her unable to stay calm.
"Damn Gu Feng! Damn worthless Sequence, just you wait, I, Fang Feixue, will never let you have it easy!"
Fang Feixue herself might not have realized that whether it was hatred, resentment, or dislike, her attention towards Gu Feng seemed to have become somewhat abnormal.
... ...
"Ah-choo!"
Gu Feng, who was at home reviewing the accounts, suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Which bastard is badmouthing me behind my back again!"
Rubbing his nose, Gu Feng raised an eyebrow nonchalantly.
Putting down the jade slip account book, he casually took a towel handed over by a maid and wiped his hands, contemplating his next business plans and directions.
According to the records in the account book, the Loan Treasure Pavilion had brought Gu Feng a massive profit of 458,600 superior grade spirit stones during this period.
After deducting the 100,000 superior grade spirit stones used to resolve his father's financial crisis at the Council Hall in the Imperial City, and another 40,000 used to buy off the Chen Long Army, as well as the personnel expenses and daily costs for the Artifact Crafting Department and the opening of the Loan Treasure Pavilion branches during this time.
The balance on the books showed an income of 260,000 superior grade spirit stones.
Looking across the entire Cang Lan Star, this number would even make the Divine King of the Eastern Region envious!
Gu Feng didn't dare to boast that he was now the richest in the cultivation world, but on the path of establishing capital in this world, he had already taken a solid first step.
With money, not only can you make the devil push the millstone, but you can also make the millstone push the devil!
As his plans were implemented and refined step by step, there would be countless places where spirit stones would be needed in the future! This amount of spirit stones was simply not enough for him to squander.
Handing the account book back to Manager Wu standing beside him, Gu Feng asked, "Has the Talent Recruitment Board been posted?"
"Yes, young master, all 206 shops have posted it as instructed."
"And how's the response?" Gu Feng pursued.
Manager Wu smiled and replied, "Young master, your foresight is indeed remarkable. This morning, there have been disturbances of varying sizes throughout the city. Many cultivators have been fighting over the public selection qualification scrolls we issued."
