After the young man and his underlings walked away, the people in the area continued to murmur softly about what had just happened. It was rare to see the young man named Liang retreat like that. More importantly, no one could afford to insult the man in front of them now.

"Ch... Chamber... Keeper Wen-Xi!" Zhu-Ji immediately bowed respectfully and politely to Wen-Xi.

"Mhm! You're doing well. And it seems you're fortunate to have these four young masters as your clients," Wen-Xi commented briefly, pleased that Zheng-Fu had chosen her as his client manager. He knew that Zheng-Fu was generous and could spend without concern.

"Thank you, sir, Chamber Keeper!" Zhu-Ji didn't fully understand Wen-Xi's words but thanked him nonetheless. She then looked at Zheng-Fu's group with even more humility and respect than before.

"Thank you, Chamber Keeper Wen-Xi, for stepping in to calm the situation!" Zheng-Fu, seeing that Wen-Xi was performing a role, decided to play along.

"Oh, don't worry, Young Master. Our Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce always takes good care of our customers. If any customer likes to cause trouble, they won't be welcomed here," Wen-Xi replied with a sly smile, casting a glance at the young man who had quarreled with Zheng-Fu earlier.

Ah!!!

When the young man noticed Wen-Xi's gaze, he flinched, knowing that if even the White Jade Clan Leader's son couldn't stay here, he certainly had no business lingering.

"I've got what I wanted for today. You don't need to guide me any further," the young man muttered to Gi-Ping, who had turned pale and was trembling. He then hurried to leave.

"Y-Yes, Young Master!" Gi-Ping stammered, her face reflecting the turmoil she felt. She understood very well that she had sparked the situation. But things had spiraled out of control, largely because Zhu-Ji had such important clients, which complicated matters. From the start, she had envied Zhu-Ji, and now her jealousy was even stronger. Frustrated, she walked away in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, now that the commotion is over, I'll take my leave." Seeing the matter settled, Wen-Xi prepared to leave. But before he did, he called out to the young woman once more.

"Zhu-Ji!"

"Yes, sir, Chamber Keeper Wen-Xi?" Startled, Zhu-Ji responded quickly.

"Take good care of these four customers!" Wen-Xi urged before turning to walk away.

"Yes, sir!" Zhu-Ji replied, still unsure of Wen-Xi's intent. She speculated that the four young men must have a particular connection with the branch chamber keeper.

"Miss Zhu-Ji, I need you to gather all the martial arts skill textbooks on this floor for me!" Zheng-Fu spoke with a smile once they were alone.

"All... all the skill... skill textbooks... on this floor?" Zhu-Ji was stunned, as if struck by a sledgehammer, upon hearing Zheng-Fu's request.

"That's right. All of them on this floor," Zheng-Fu repeated to confirm his words.

"Al... alright, sir!" Realizing she hadn't misheard, Zhu-Ji immediately hurried to the martial arts skill textbook section on the floor.

"Big Brother, what are you going to do with so many martial arts skill textbooks?" Diao asked suspiciously, as he was the one who often voiced such curiosities.

"I'll buy them for your clan. I want to help turn your clan into a major one, and martial arts skills are a necessity," Zheng-Fu explained. Initially, he had thought of sharing his own techniques but reconsidered, knowing that his methods were better suited for humans rather than monsters.

"Really, Big Brother!? You're so generous. Bless Big Brother! Bless Big Brother!" Diao shouted in praise, forgetting that others were nearby, which drew their attention.

"Diao! I told you not to behave like this!" Den scolded his brother, his face instantly furious, though Zheng-Fu was unbothered by the outburst.

"I'm... I'm sorry!" Diao's face fell in remorse. He wasn't upset at Den's scolding but felt guilty for his behavior.

"Come on, it's a small matter. I don't mind it," Zheng-Fu quickly interjected to keep the brothers from dwelling on it. At that moment, Zhu-Ji returned with a notebook in her hand.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir," Zhu-Ji apologized as she handed the notebook to Zheng-Fu.

"What's this?" Zheng-Fu asked curiously.

"This is a notebook listing all the martial arts skill textbooks on this floor, sir. If you're interested in any book, you just need to pass your energy over the title to see the details inside," Zhu-Ji immediately explained the details of the notebook she handed to Zheng-Fu, along with instructions on how to use it.

The method seemed very convenient, as it eliminated the need to browse through each book one by one. If you were interested in a particular book, you could simply transfer your energy into it to check the details.

"Mhm... Very convenient!" Zheng-Fu nodded, flipping through the notebook to see the available skills.

Flop! Flop! Flop!

Soon, Zheng-Fu went through all the pages, which listed forty skills in total, all high-level. Some could even be modified into mystical skills.

"Miss Zhu-Ji, I want all of them. Please wrap them up for me!" Zheng-Fu declared after examining the notebook.

"All!?!"

Huh...?

Zhu-Ji's exclamation startled everyone around, and they turned to see what had caused her reaction.

"I... I'm sorry, sir!" Realizing her mistake, Zhu-Ji quickly apologized. She then looked at Zheng-Fu with wide, sparkling eyes, as if asking him to confirm what she had heard.

"You didn't hear me wrong, Miss Zhu-Ji. I need all the martial arts skill textbooks on that list," Zheng-Fu repeated firmly.

"Yes... yes, sir! I'll take care of it right away!" Zhu-Ji responded, running off with a mix of excitement and joy.

"Miss Zhu-Ji seems quite nice, don't you think, Big Brother and Brother Den?" Diao remarked bashfully as he watched her leave.

"Isn't every woman attractive to you, Diao?" Zheng-Fu teased, smiling playfully.

"Oh, Big Brother, you're saying too much! If that were true, I'd be after that aunty at the market!" Diao grumbled, squinting with mock displeasure.

"Oh! You're not secretly having an affair with that aunty, are you?" Zheng-Fu continued to joke.

"Big Brother!!! Saying like that, you might as well stab me with a knife!" Diao replied, unable to counter the teasing.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

"It's done, sir! All the skill textbooks are here," Zhu-Ji returned and handed a dimensional ring to Zheng-Fu for him to inspect.

Wooooosh!!!

"Mhm... everything is here. What's the price?" After verifying that all the martial arts skill textbooks were in the ring, Zheng-Fu asked for the total cost.

"The total is one hundred million demon crystal coins, sir!"

"One hundred million!!?"

"One hundred million!!!"

The price Zhu-Ji mentioned caused everyone in the vicinity to exclaim in shock. They immediately turned to look at Zheng-Fu's group in amazement.

"One hundred million, you say? Mhm! Here's a cash card," Zheng-Fu responded calmly, unfazed by the price, as it was reasonable. He handed the cash card to Zhu-Ji to tap it to the one she was holding.

"Thi... this... this cash card!?" Zhu-Ji's eyes widened in astonishment upon seeing the card. But she quickly composed herself and handed over a receipt to finalize the transaction.

"Alright, let's head up to the fourth floor. There's nothing more I need on this one!" Zheng-Fu instructed Zhu-Ji to take them up to the next floor.

"Yes... yes, sir!" Zhu-Ji agreed promptly, leading them to the stairs.

The fee for accessing the fourth floor was ten thousand demon crystal coins per person, meaning they had to pay forty thousand coins in total. This was a small amount for Zheng-Fu, whose cash card held tens of thousands of billions of coins.

After arriving on the fourth floor, Zhu-Ji immediately began introducing the notable items. The products were similar to those on the third floor but of higher quality. As before, Zheng-Fu focused only on purchasing the martial arts skill textbooks.

This time, Zhu-Ji was more efficient, having adjusted to her role. As soon as Zheng-Fu mentioned he wanted all the skill textbooks, she quickly retrieved a notebook listing them and their prices.

"Hmm! Even if they are only half-step mystical skills, all of them can be developed into full mystical skills. With these, our clan and the people in the Beyond Earth Sect will grow much stronger," Zheng-Fu smiled contentedly, knowing that these skill books would empower his clan and the disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect.

Perhaps, they might even surpass the major sects or cults in the Holy Ancient Region.
