It has to be said, the second generation is just different. Yan Yufeng casually rummaged through his bag by the bed and tossed a credit card over. "Limit is four hundred thousand, no password."

Qi Feng recently felt he had made a bit of money. As a student, it should be pretty good, right? But compared to the second generation, he was just a nobody. Back when he had to scrounge up ten thousand yuan to buy a secret manual, he almost went gray with worry. Now, someone just throws over a card with a limit of four hundred thousand, without even setting a password. What a difference...

"Should have known this kid was so rich, I should have asked for more..." Qi Feng really regretted not asking for a higher price. Well, never mind, consider it a favor for Su Meizi this time.

Qi Feng thought of something else: "Also, I think it's best not to stay in the hospital. It's useless there anyway. When I go to get the medicine and run into a doctor, they'll start some medical skills competition or debate, and end up showing off and embarrassing me. That would be too cliché. It's best to find a quiet place."

It wasn't that he was really afraid of clichés, but Qi Feng really didn't know any medical skills! If a doctor got entangled with him, he'd be exposed in a few sentences. If it came to practicing medicine without a license, he'd be in big trouble.

Su Meizi thought for a moment, "Going home isn't suitable. I have a place that's usually empty. Why don't you stay there for a few days, Yan? It's not far from the school, which is convenient for treating your injuries." As she said this, her face turned red.

Qi Feng waved the credit card, "You two chat, I'll go get the medicine. Just send me the address when you move in." Then he left, thinking it was better not to be a third wheel.

In recent years, people's living standards have greatly improved. There are countless people who spend their days dealing with gold and silver. He often comes, but this month's spending of a few hundred thousand is less than what some old ladies spend in one go! Qi Feng has appeared so many times that he's probably half-familiar, but if you look at the amount, he's not even a ripple. People would forget him as soon as they turn their heads. Qi Feng bought silver and went to the Yuelai Inn of the Heroes' Gathering.

Qi Feng carried a small bag and immediately saw Wei Xiaobao, who was setting up a stall at the door. It was just right, as Xiaobao doesn't come every day. Today was a good day to meet, otherwise, he would have had to say it would take more time to get the medicine.

"Hey, Brother Feng is here!" Although Qi Feng hadn't come to buy anything for a long time, they often met and had a drink and chat. Xiaobao was thoroughly impressed by Qi Feng's extensive knowledge and now they were very familiar!

Qi Feng ran over, opened the small bag with two hundred taels of silver, and handed it over. "Brother Xiaobao, you're here! Do you have any Black Jade Continuity Ointment? I need a bottle, it's an emergency!"

Being so familiar and trusting Qi Feng, and knowing the weight was about right, Xiaobao didn't even weigh it. He took the silver and pulled out a small rectangular wooden box from his bag.

Qi Feng took it, and it was quite heavy. Opening it, he saw a dark ointment filling the small box, and a cool, fragrant scent immediately spread out, just like in the books.

Xiaobao asked, "Brother Feng, you're in such a hurry for this medicine, what happened?"

Qi Feng sighed, "A friend was injured by someone, and the injury is on a joint. Ordinary medicine isn't very effective. I know Brother Xiaobao is resourceful, and I'm lucky. Otherwise, where would I find this secret medicine from the Western Shaolin?"

Wei Xiaobao thought for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a copper coin from his pocket and handed it to Qi Feng. "This is a token of the Heaven and Earth Society. Although I can't appear in person, anyone with this token will receive help from all the branches of the Heaven and Earth Society."

Qi Feng looked at the coin, which had the words "Hongwu, Peace in the World" on it, and asked, "What is this?"

"Heh, there's something Brother Feng doesn't know!" Wei Xiaobao laughed, "This is one of the tokens of the Heaven and Earth Society, the Great Ming Hongwu Peace Coin. It's not a big deal."

Qi Feng was still confused, "Why are you giving me this, Brother Xiaobao?"

Xiaobao smiled, "Brother Feng's friend was injured by someone, and that person is probably not an ordinary person. If you want to get even, it's best to have more help. Even if it's just for show, it will boost your presence. When the time comes, you can give the brothers of the society some tea money. You know, the brothers of our Hongmen are..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop..." Qi Feng waved his hands, "No kidding, you're really into this underworld stuff. After selling the medicine, you're even offering to help with revenge. Think about it, the next game is already at home, and if Little Yan brings a bunch of Hongmen brothers to surround the court... well, it would be the top headline on both sports and legal channels that night. Ah, Brother Xiaobao. My friend wasn't injured in a gang fight, just from playing ball."

"Playing ball?" Xiaobao thought for a moment, "Got it! I've seen it, is it Cuju or Polo? Was it intentional?"

"It was intentional..."

"Hey, if someone hurts you in secret, why talk to them? If Brother Feng doesn't want to do it openly, just bring a few brothers and go to his house..." Wei Xiaobao gave a bunch of suggestions, and Qi Feng felt they were all too familiar. He slapped his forehead, this was just a replay of the tricks he used to trick Feng Xifan. Burying someone in the backyard, if I really did that, I'd be waiting for the police to come and take me for a chat tomorrow.

"Cough, cough, cough, never mind, no need to be so harsh." Qi Feng felt his values were being challenged, these underworld people were in a different dimension.

"What, no need to be so harsh. Brother Feng, you're too soft-hearted. If it were a real gang fight, it would be different. After all, in the gang, you can't control your fate. But in the arena, fairness is the most important. Using dirty tricks is truly despicable..."

What do you think when you hear a gangster talk about fairness in competition? Anyway, the mythical creature in Qi Feng's mind was running a marathon. "Fairness in the arena"... Qi Feng really wanted to bring some officials and referees to listen to Xiaobao's lecture. If there were a few dozen brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society to supervise, Qi Feng felt that the long-standing problem of the rise of major sports in China could be solved in a year or two...

"Alright, alright, thanks, Brother Xiaobao." Qi Feng felt he couldn't handle it anymore, quickly put away the coin, and turned to leave, bowing and saying, "If I need help, I'll definitely find your brothers."

"Deal!" Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and added, "Remember that!" Is the Heaven and Earth Society short on funds, or is he still concerned about the old society and trying to bring in some business?

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly bumped into Xu Xiaoxia!

"Hey! You're here!" Xu Xiaoxia was very happy, blocking Qi Feng, "Great! I was afraid I couldn't find you! Are you leaving? Don't rush, I have business for you!"

Qi Feng thought it was quite coincidental. Usually, he came and went from the Yuelai Inn without any issues, but today, with some urgent matters, people just appeared.

But selling information for silver was good, so Qi Feng was quite happy. "Sure, sure, I often come here. If you need me, just wait at the inn. What do you want to know today?"

Xu Xiaoxia laughed and leaned in, whispering, "Your information last time was great, the Nine Yang Divine Skill really works!"

"Of course, although my fees are a bit high, it's definitely worth it!"

Xu Xiaoxia no longer thought of Qi Feng as a swindler like before, "Worth it! Absolutely worth it! Compared to Nan Xian, who's like Tang Seng, and Bei Chou, who's unreliable, I'll follow your advice! By the way, do you accept Wisdom Fruits?"

Qi Feng raised his hand, "Only silver, you can give the fruits to whoever you want, I don't need them."

Xu Xiaoxia wasn't upset, "Alright, alright, silver is no problem. We took down a bunch of Iron Palm Sect members and got a lot from the mountain. But today, I'm not here to ask you something, I brought you some business, and I'll pay for it."

Only then did Qi Feng notice that Xu Xiaoxia had a junior with him, young, with a sword-like brow and star-like eyes, long hair, and quite handsome, but a bit reserved.

"This is..." Qi Feng thought, "Zhang Wuji?"

Xu Xiaoxia clapped his hands and laughed, "Impressive, you knew right away." He turned to Zhang Wuji, "See, I told you. This guy is a money lover, but he knows a lot!"

Zhang Wuji bowed, "My adoptive father, Xie Xun, refuses to return to the mainland from Ice Fire Island and spends his days trying to solve the mystery of the Dragon Slaying Saber to avenge Cheng Kun. He has been doing this for nearly twenty years, but to no avail. I've heard that you are a well-informed person in the martial world. Can you tell me the secret of the Dragon Slaying Saber?" He bowed again.

The secret of the Dragon Slaying Saber... Qi Feng rubbed his chin, thinking whether to tell him or not.

Zhang Wuji, seeing Qi Feng's hesitation, continued, "I know this is a great secret in the martial world, and a few thousand taels of silver might not be enough. I have nothing to offer. If you can tell me, I will do anything for you."

Qi Feng chuckled, "What if I want the Nine Yang Divine Skill?"

Zhang Wuji nodded, "Sure, I'll teach you!"

"How about Hu Qingniu's medical book?"

Zhang Wuji was surprised, this person was indeed impressive, even knowing about the secret in Butterfly Valley. He was filled with hope, "No problem! I'll copy it for you!"

So easy to talk to? Qi Feng thought for a moment and said, "What if this secret doesn't meet your or your adoptive father's expectations?"

Zhang Wuji replied without hesitation, "That's the will of fate, it has nothing to do with you."

Qi Feng laughed, "Great! Brother Zhang is a sincere person! I'll tell you!"
