607: Buying out the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce

The maid's entire body could not help but tremble slightly, her eyes filled with terror and shock, as if she had seen something deeply horrifying.

Those Spatial Rings were specially expanded rings, extremely rare. She hadn't recognized them before; their Chamber of Commerce did have such Spatial Rings, but they were rarely used.

This type of Spatial Ring possessed preliminary spatial capabilities, containing certain rules, and could even autonomously generate Immortal energy. Furthermore, since the interior had become a fragmented space, Formations could be set up within it, allowing the Top-grade Immortal Crystals stored inside to continue improving in quality over time.

Inside these Spatial Rings, they were shockingly filled with Top-grade Immortal Crystals, the quantity so vast it made one's scalp tingle.

She made a rough estimate, and the final result caused the maid's eyes to fill with extreme terror.

Nearly... ten billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals!? Ten billion!

Even though they were the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce, it was absolutely impossible to sell that many Top-grade Immortal Crystals, unless all the items from the three major branches were gathered together.

The items sold in the Chamber of Commerce were usually not extremely precious. Any truly precious items would not be brought to the Chamber of Commerce for sale; they were either used by members of the imperial family themselves, or traded for other items.

The maid swallowed hard, then said in an incredibly respectful tone, "Young Master, please wait a moment, I will have our President come over immediately."

President?

Beside them, Yang Xizhi's pupils instantly constricted. What kind of major business was this, that it could actually make the President of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce come to receive them personally?

The gap between their Chamber of Commerce and the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce was immense. Within the entire Nine Star Empire, the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce was the leader; it set the rules and was also the one that profited the most.

However, the Nine Star Empire was incredibly vast, and the population was so large that it was sufficient to support many chambers of commerce.

Soon, a woman with delicate features walked out from the backyard, a faint, elusive smile on her face.

Li Ruoxin!

Yang Xizhi's pupils constricted once more. This person was a genuine member of the imperial family, possessing a noble status and immense strength, far more noble than the Lord Wang who had hosted the auction earlier.

It was said that her cultivation was at the Late Stage of the Immortal King, and she could potentially achieve a Breakthrough to the Immortal Lord in the future.

What on earth had he done to make such a powerhouse come to greet him personally?

Recalling the words Su Chen had said earlier—that he wanted to buy out the entire Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce—could he really be intending to buy everything from the entire Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce?

How was that possible!

The value of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce was too terrifying; what could possibly buy out the entire Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce?

Yang Xizhi felt he had underestimated Su Chen; this person was definitely countless times more terrifying than he had imagined.

Li Ruoxin first bowed to Su Chen, then looked toward the Spatial Rings in front of him.

When she saw the Top-grade Immortal Crystals inside, her pupils trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was not calm inside. However, she still pushed the Top-grade Immortal Crystals toward Su Chen: "Young Master, my subordinate failed to serve you properly. If you have any needs, you can tell me directly; I will certainly satisfy any request."

Li Ruoxin knew that no one would take so many Top-grade Immortal Crystals to buy things they didn't need, so Su Chen must just be wanting to show off his wealth, and she conveniently offered him a graceful way out.

Su Chen simply pushed the Spatial Rings back over, then said in a calm tone, "I still have the same request. Are these Top-grade Immortal Crystals enough to buy everything in your Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Ruoxin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Young Master, are you serious?"

Su Chen nodded indifferently: "I heard that this is only one of your branches. If you can bring out more items, I have plenty more Top-grade Immortal Crystals. I will take as much as you have."

For Su Chen, the thing he lacked the least was Top-grade Immortal Crystals.

Although these Heaven And Earth Treasures were useless, they were still better than Top-grade Immortal Crystals; after all, he had far too many of them.

Li Ruoxin's eyes were filled with shock and gravity. She wanted to see through Su Chen's cultivation, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only see that Su Chen possessed the cultivation of a Profound Immortal.

She couldn't help but swallow hard.

Casually bringing out millions of Top-grade Immortal Crystals—such terrifying financial power was definitely at the level of an Immortal Venerable, and even an Old Ancestor-level Immortal Venerable at that. Yet, she had never seen this Su Chen before.

Therefore, there was only one conclusion. Su Chen was not from the Cloud Firmament Realm!

Furthermore, for someone to make her unable to see through their cultivation, their Realm must be absolutely terrifying. It was even possible that they surpassed an Immortal Venerable.

Li Ruoxin smiled slightly at Su Chen, then immediately turned to make arrangements.

Soon, the number of guests in the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce dwindled; people could leave but not enter. Everyone began to get busy packing up items. It wasn't just this branch; the other two chambers of commerce in the imperial city were doing the same thing.

The Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce had no headquarters, or rather, the three major branches in the imperial city were the headquarters. To prevent any single person from controlling the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce, the imperial family had divided it into three parts, each managed by an Immortal King Cultivator.

The other two chambers of commerce were very disdainful and disbelieving when they heard from Li Ruoxin that someone intended to buy them out.

However, upon hearing Li Ruoxin add that the other party had prepaid ten billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals, they also began to collect their items.

Cultivators moved incredibly fast. In just half an incense stick of time, Li Ruoxin brought two people toward Su Chen; these two were the presidents of the other two chambers of commerce.

The moment Yang Xizhi saw the two, his expression fluctuated violently.

He was also in the business of chambers of commerce, so he naturally understood exactly what their identities were.

"Is this the buyer?" One of them looked at Su Chen with a smile, completely without showing any contempt because Su Chen was only at the Profound Immortal Realm.

Just kidding. Which Profound Immortal Cultivator could casually take out ten billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals?

Su Chen just nodded indifferently.

At this moment, Li Ruoxin took over the conversation and spoke with a smile on her face, though a careful observer would notice that her hands were trembling slightly.

In all the years she had managed the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce, this was the first time she had encountered something like this. If this transaction succeeded, it would bring her huge benefits.

This single transaction alone was enough for the imperial family to provide the resources for her Breakthrough to the Immortal Lord. In other words, after this matter concluded, she would be able to reach the Breakthrough to the Immortal Lord.

Therefore, while Li Ruoxin appeared calm on the surface, her heart was actually filled with waves.

"Young Master, as per your request, the items have all been prepared. I have divided them into two categories: one consists of items with more practical uses, such as Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, Formations, and other commonly used treasures."

"The others are some rare and less commonly used Heaven And Earth Treasures..." Li Ruoxin introduced everything.

"There is also a discrepancy with the Top-grade Immortal Crystals; the total is 17 billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals. If you do not want these less commonly used treasures, it would only be 11 billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals."

These items had almost completely bought out the entire Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, this had no impact on them.

At worst, they would just close their doors and rest for a period of time. The Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce was backed by the imperial family; no matter what, it would not affect its status as the leader. As long as it reopened, all other chambers of commerce would have to yield to the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce.

Yang Xizhi and Yang Lan, however, stood there stunned.

"How much?"
