304 Entrusted by Others

Li Ji stayed in the Water Mirror Sect for more than half a year. After the construction of the underground treasury by the bank was completed, Li Ji began to vigorously recruit nearby Holy Spirit realm level powerhouses to sit in.
This is the most basic requirement.
The Imperial Bank's treasury must be equipped with a large number of defensive formations, and must be built as a sturdy fortress that cannot be breached even by the Supreme Realm.
At the same time, there should be strong individuals at the Holy Spirit Realm level taking turns to guard nearby.
This is a huge wage expenditure, but the Imperial Bank can afford it.
For banks like the Imperial Bank of the Great Yin Headquarters, the treasury is personally guarded by shareholders from various major families.
And there are also supreme realm powerhouses sitting there. If it is really destroyed, they can naturally mobilize emperor realm powerhouses from the Dragon God Clan or the Giant Dragon Clan to solve the trouble.
The current Water Mirror Sect has changed greatly, with the Emperor's Bank as the center, starting to build a large number of prototype factories nearby, and building new main cities nearby.
Li Shanshan leads a small team specifically responsible for account calculations and gradually becomes busy.
Many people, even if they deposit one spirit stone, can get a Crystal Card for free out of curiosity.
And a spiritual stone will also exist permanently in the treasure trove and can be taken out at any time.
The surrounding small sects and scattered cultivators are curious and come to visit the Water Mirror Sect. When they see the huge crystal screen, they are shocked and run to tell others.
For a while, the existence of Emperor Bank was known in a vast area thousands of miles away from the country's border.
And Li Ji also swept across half of the country, summoning all the Holy Spirit realm-level powerhouses to come over.
With the slightly revealed aura of the Supreme Realm from Li Ji, those Holy Spirit Realm experts hurriedly rushed over.
Upon hearing that they only needed to guard the treasure vault year-round for a salary of one million spirit stones, they couldn't help but be greatly tempted.
In fact, a million spirit stones are nothing to a strong spiritual realm master, and they wouldn't even bother with them.
However, a humble and honest spiritual realm master who doesn't engage in burning, killing, or plundering, wouldn't make a million spirit stones in a year.
The annual offering of the Elder of the Holy Spirit Realm in the major sect is also about one million spirit stones.
Of course, this is just the basic salary, not to mention the hidden benefits.
For cultivators working in the Emperor's Bank, each one can support a large family, with various benefits such as elixirs, top-grade talismans, and gratuitous weapons, to name just a few.
The miscellaneous things can be worth several million or even tens of millions of spiritual stones.
The saints in the surrounding area, upon seeing Li Ji's strength and the rankings on the crystal screen, were all shocked. Without needing Li Ji to explain too much, they would voluntarily come to apply for the position as a treasure vault guard.
Soon, the construction of the Imperial Bank here will be largely completed, and it will be a few more years before it can operate smoothly.
As the first third-level transcendent cultivator in the country to invest in technology, Li Shanshan also received her first dividend from headquarters one year later.
There are over 10 million spirit stones, and it will continue to increase in the future.
Of course, these spirit stones are just numbers, and all her expenses will be deducted from the crystal card.
And other merchants who receive her bill can also withdraw the money from the Imperial Bank.
After another month, Li Ji bid farewell as the Imperial Bank was stable and set off towards the capital of the country.
He spent too much time indulging in the Water Mirror Sect, so the range of his divorce is not large either.
A month later, Li Ji flew to the capital of the distant country. When he entered the city, he could hear the cultivators on the road discussing about the Emperor's Bank.
With divine consciousness sweeping across the entire imperial capital, Li Ji quickly discovered the cultivation levels of the cultivators in the empire.
As expected, there is only one powerhouse at the Emperor Realm level, and there are two powerhouses at the Supreme Realm level.
This imperial comprehensive combat power is only slightly weaker than the Great You Dynasty, which is quite impressive.
Walking on the streets of the imperial capital, Li Ji quickly inquired about the residence of the Zhao family.
Following the guidance, Li Ji quickly found the residence of the Zhao family.
"Who are you looking for?"
A guard at the entrance stopped Li Ji and asked.
"Excuse me, is Zhao Di here?"
"Why are you looking for our young lady?" the guard asked cautiously.
"Upon the request of my friend, I've come to deliver something."
"Haha, you're just a messenger. Forget about being friends or not, I'm sorry, our young miss is not at home. Please come back tomorrow."
The guard heard this and immediately sneered.
"Not at home? When will your miss come back?"
"I don't know. She may come back today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. Who knows? Just wait."
The lazy servant at the door said disdainfully, clearly not wanting to see Li Ji.
Li Ji was helpless and didn't mind, so he went to the street and silently waited.
As the news spread, the atmosphere in the Zhao family mansion became tense, just as the low-level guard had said, no young women similar to Zhao Di were found in the mansion.
Huang Tiancai, the middle-aged man who was requested to take Ligu to deliver the Supreme Dao Pill, was named Huang Tiancai.
Huang Tiancai's last words were to prepare a Supreme Dao Pill for this woman, indicating that she must be very important to him.
Huang Tiancai once said that this woman named Zhao Di is indeed the woman he loves the most. He originally wanted to give her a supreme Tao pill when she reached the Holy Spirit Realm, but unfortunately, she died in the world of exotic spirit beasts.
Li Ji sat cross-legged on the side of the street, indifferent to the passers-by.
He sat there all night, until the next day at noon, when the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Li Ji's expression changed and he opened his eyes to look at the luxurious carriage coming from afar.
When the carriage stopped in front of the Zhao Residence, a beautiful woman in a green dress stepped down from it.
As his divine sense swept through, Li Ji frowned and turned his gaze towards the inside of the carriage, where his divine sense was unexpectedly blocked by a complex and profound array.
This array is specifically designed to ward off investigation by supreme experts, but for Li Ji, it is easily penetrated. After a pause, Li Ji activated his ability of sight.
In an instant, the scene inside the carriage appeared, revealing a young man in disheveled clothing lazily reclining inside.
"Let's go."
A young man said, "The carriage left the front gate of the Zhao Mansion and headed towards the distance."
At this moment, Li Ji stood up and walked towards them quickly.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Zhao Di?" Li Ji asked.
"Who are you?" Zhao Di frowned and looked at Li Ji, not recognizing him.
"I have been entrusted by a friend to bring you a gift."
"Friend's request? Which friend?" Zhao Di stared at Li Ji, confirmed that she did not know him, and resumed her cold demeanor.
"His last name is Huang," said Li Ji.
Zhao Di, upon hearing these words, was startled and her face immediately became flustered, as if she had done something wrong. Although it lasted only a moment, Li Ji still noticed it and understood it in his heart.
"You can come in with me." Zhao Di saw that Li Ji was only a Foundation Building stage cultivator, so she immediately let him in.
After arriving in Zhao Di's chamber, her beautiful eyes turned towards Li Ji as she asked, "What is your relationship with my man, Huang Tiancai?"
