After acquiring twenty-five martial arts skill textbooks for more than five hundred million demon crystal coins, Zheng-Fu immediately instructed Zhu-Ji to take them to the fifth floor.

To access the fifth floor, each person had to pay a fee of five hundred thousand demon crystal coins, so the total cost for the group of four was two million demon crystal coins. This amount was considered quite substantial for the general public or lower-ranking clans from the other six cities.

Once the fees were paid, they ascended to the fifth floor of the Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce's Main Office. Most people who could reach this floor were wealthy. Even Zhu-Ji, a customer receptionist, had never been up there before, as the wealthy customers usually hired beautiful receptionists to assist them. These young women would take care of them when they arrived.

Thus, Zhu-Ji and the other female employees typically had no opportunity to assist the wealthy on this floor, unless they were as fortunate as Zhu-Ji was today, having a deep-pocketed customer like Zheng-Fu.

"On this fifth floor, all goods are of the highest quality, sir. Most weapons are Mystical weapons, ranging from the initial to the intermediate level. The martial arts skill textbooks are all Mystical-level skills, and intermediate and high-level Qi energy stones are also for sale here. Young Master, which product would you like to see first?"

All the items on this floor were highly protected and limited in number, so Zhu-Ji had to ask Zheng-Fu which type of product he was particularly interested in, so she could guide him directly to it.

"I'd like to see the martial arts skill textbooks first."

Zheng-Fu continued to focus on martial arts skill textbooks, as usual. He already possessed high-level weapons. What he needed more was resources to help develop his clan and sect, and martial arts skill textbooks were essential. Each person had different approaches, training styles, and weapon preferences for combat.

"Alright, Young Master!" Zhu-Ji responded, smiling happily, before walking away. She was efficient in her duties now, as this was the third time Zheng-Fu had asked her to bring all the skill textbooks, so she knew exactly what to do.

"Big Brother! The skills you've bought are quite valuable. May I ask if you're really planning to give them all to our Silver Body Clan?" Den finally asked about the numerous martial arts skill textbooks Zheng-Fu had purchased.

"Not all of them. Some I'll keep for my personal study, but most of the skills I bought from the third and fourth floors, I'll give to your clan. I'll also let you both choose the weapons and armor you want. And don't refuse!" Zheng-Fu immediately answered Den's question.

"Of course, Big Brother. I won't refuse!" Den knew that when Zheng-Fu gave something, there was no option to reject it, so he didn't even consider saying no.

"If Big Brother says so, I won't refuse either!" Even though Diao was talkative, he wasn't foolish. He understood that Zheng-Fu was helping them, so there was no reason to decline his kindness.

"Good! When Miss Zhu-Ji returns, you can pick the weapons you want!" Zheng-Fu nodded, pleased with their responses.

Soon, Zhu-Ji returned with a notebook listing all the martial arts skill textbooks on this floor, along with their prices. All of these skills were Mystical-level, and although they weren't high-level, they were still incredibly valuable. Each skill cost over five hundred million coins, with some even reaching a billion demon crystal coins.

However, money wasn't an issue for Zheng-Fu. Even if he spent all his money, he could always sell his elemental spiritual stones, so he didn't hesitate to buy all the skills on this floor once again. He spent more than five billion demon crystal coins for twelve martial arts skill textbooks and a half. One of the skills wasn't complete, but it could still be compared to Mystical-level skills.

After making his purchases and receiving everything he wanted, Zheng-Fu allowed Den, Diao, and Jin-Tian to choose their weapons and armor. He would wait to pay in the reception area.

In the guest lounge on the fifth floor...

"If you want to talk to me, come in. If not, then leave!" As Zheng-Fu sat studying, trying to understand Heaven Energy, he sensed someone at the door of the guest lounge and spoke up to address the person.

Creak!!!

The door to the lounge opened immediately, and an elderly male monster slowly walked into the room. He stopped in front of Zheng-Fu, smiled, and then spoke.

"Just as Chamber Keeper Wen-Xi said! You're greatly talented despite your young age. You're also a big spender, buying all the martial arts skills from our chamber of commerce!" The elderly male monster spoke with a friendly smile after glancing at Zheng-Fu with a scrutinizing look.

"Haha! President of the Chamber of Commerce, you praise me too much. I'm just a young person, how can I be compared to you?  Please, have a seat!" Zheng-Fu laughed softly, humbly speaking as he invited the elderly male monster to sit in an empty chair.

"Ah! How do you know who I am?" The elderly male monster was slightly surprised that Zheng-Fu knew his identity, despite never having met him before. He rarely went out in public.

"No, I don't know. It was you who told me just now!" Zheng-Fu smiled slyly, pretending that he knew because the elderly male monster had just revealed it.

"Ah! Haha, yes, it was me who told you. Sigh! I'm getting too old; my mind is really slipping," the elder chuckled, his shocked expression quickly fading as he resumed his cheerful demeanor.

"But the president didn't come just to laugh and make jokes with me, did you?" Zheng-Fu quickly got to the point, not wanting to engage in too much small talk.

"Hmm! That's right, Young Master Zheng-Fu. Oh, no! I should call you Royal Son-in-law!" The elderly male monster nodded, calling Zheng-Fu by name and referring to his status as the Royal Son-in-law of this Monster Kingdom.

"Mhm! Chamber Keeper Wen-Xi must have told you this. But it's not a secret, so what does the president want to discuss with me?" Zheng-Fu wasn't surprised that the elder knew his status. He was sure that Wen-Xi had informed him.

"What I'd like to discuss with the Royal Son-in-law is that our Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce recently excavated a thousand-year-old ancient ruin and found a piece of ancient treasure. This treasure is tightly sealed with a high-level spell, which only sorcerers at the Divine King stage and above can break. Sorcerers below that level cannot remove it. So..."

"So, you want me to help remove the sealing spell?" Zheng-Fu interjected with a skeptical look before the elder could finish.

"No, not at all, Royal Son-in-law. I only mentioned it because I thought you might be interested in purchasing it," the elder explained, shaking his head.

"You want to sell it to me? Why me? Can't anyone else in this capital afford it? Or is its price so high that no one else can buy it? So, why me?" Zheng-Fu didn't understand why the elder was offering the treasure to him and not to others, such as wealthy royal families or major clans.

"You're right, Royal Son-in-law. This treasure is priceless. It can't be valued in terms of money. But for you, it's different. You have elemental spiritual stones and the purple liquid that boosts energy levels. No amount of money can compare to those energy-enhancing resources."

The elder explained that the treasure couldn't be bought with money but could be exchanged for something valuable like elemental spiritual stones or the Purple Heavenly Demon Potion.

"So, the president is saying that this treasure can't be bought with money, but can be traded for something of equal worth, right?" Zheng-Fu clarified.

"Exactly, as the Royal Son-in-law says. If you have one hundred bottles of the purple liquid and ten lumps of each type of elemental spiritual stone, I'd gladly trade the treasure with you!" The elder offered the deal, clearly aiming for Zheng-Fu's Purple Heavenly Demon Potion and elemental spiritual stones.

Even with just ten lumps of each element, the total value exceeded hundreds of billions of demon crystal coins, possibly reaching a trillion. A single bottle of the Purple Heavenly Demon Potion was equivalent to three lumps of elemental spiritual stones. Comparatively, one hundred bottles would be worth about three hundred lumps of elemental spiritual stones.

"Interesting! So, what is this ancient treasure?" Zheng-Fu didn't immediately accept or reject the offer. He wanted to see the treasure first. If it was valuable enough, he would be willing to trade.

"The treasure is on the seventh floor, in a highly secured room. Follow me up to the seventh floor, and you can see it with your own eyes to decide if it's worth exchanging for the items I've requested."

The elder knew that Zheng-Fu wasn't a greedy person who would foolishly trade for the treasure without evaluating it, so he had prepared everything. The next step was to go to the seventh floor and enter the secure room to see the item.

"Of course! I'll follow you. But please, take care of my brothers," Zheng-Fu agreed without hesitation. He was intrigued by the thought of a thousand-year-old ancient treasure, which might even help him understand Heaven Energy better.

"Then let's go together!"

Flap!!!

Wooooosh!!!
