The Five Elements Chamber of Commerce was the largest chamber of commerce in the Five Elements State. They had branches in every corner of the Five Elements State.
The Kaiyang City branch was a branch of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce in Kaiyang City. It was the smallest branch in the Five Elements State.
However, even so, the power of the Kaiyang City branch was far beyond the reach of other forces. Even the three major families were not willing to provoke the Kaiyang City branch.
After all, the Kaiyang City branch involved too many people. Once they were provoked, they would definitely be attacked by the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce.
The three major families of Kaiyang City were simply not a match for the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce.
However, the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce's purpose was to do business. They never asked about the division of forces in the Five Elements State, nor did they interfere with the internal affairs of any forces.
However, in the huge Five Elements State, almost no one dared to cause trouble in the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce.
It was said that there was a True Martial Realm expert behind the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. No one knew if it was true or not.
However, the upper echelons of the Five Elements State had a good relationship with the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. No one was willing to stand against the Five Elements State.
Although the Kaiyang City branch was a small one, its power was not to be underestimated.
The young master of the Kaiyang City branch, Kai Jun, had always been Li Mingzhu's fanatical pursuer. However, Li Mingzhu had never agreed.
As one of the three major goddesses of the Kaiyang City, Li Mingzhu had always had many pursuers. There was no lack of powerful young people.
However, among these pursuers, Kai Jun's background was the most prominent.
In order to pursue Li Mingzhu, Kai Jun did not hesitate to buy treasures that were hard to buy even with money. However, he had never succeeded.
At this moment, when Li Xiaoke mentioned the young master of the Kaiyang City branch, Fang Chen's eyes lit up.
Since they were acquaintances, things would be easier.
He had ten billion low-grade Spirit Stones and six billion mid-grade Spirit Stones. These were all obtained at the old site of the Heaven Raising Gate.
In the Five Elements State, these Spirit Stones could not be used. Therefore, he wanted to exchange them for high-grade or top-grade Spirit Stones.
"This."
Fang Chen's face was full of smiles as he looked at Li Mingzhu. His meaning was obvious.
"Sister Mingzhu, as long as you go and tell Kai Jun, the Kaiyang City branch will definitely exchange Spirit Stones for Fang Chen." Li Xiaoke said.
Li Mingzhu, who was emitting an icy aura, glanced at Fang Chen and said, "Come and find me tomorrow morning."
With that, Li Mingzhu turned around and left.
Seeing Li Mingzhu's back as she left, Li Xiaoke laughed and said, "Since Sister Mingzhu said so, it means that she agrees."
Fang Chen also nodded. He could feel that Li Mingzhu's attitude towards him had changed a lot ever since he helped the Li Clan obtain first place in the Large Competition.
After a night of silence, Fang Chen went to look for Li Mingzhu early the next morning.
As for Li Xiaoke, she went to cultivate and didn't have time to accompany Fang Chen to the Kaiyang City branch.
In the Li Family Mansion, near the garden, there was a luxurious pavilion. This pavilion was surrounded by lush flowers and plants.
Sitting on top of the pavilion, one could see the beautiful scenery in the garden at a glance. This was also the best location for the mansion.
This pavilion was Li Mingzhu's pavilion.
As the apple of the Li Clan's eye and the number one expert of the younger generation, the Li Clan gave Li Mingzhu a lot of support.
All of the Li Clan's resources leaned towards Li Mingzhu. As long as Li Mingzhu asked, the Li Clan was willing to do anything for her.
Fang Chen looked at Li Mingzhu's mansion and couldn't help but sigh. She was indeed one of the three goddesses of Kaiyang City. Even her pavilion was so luxurious and beautiful.
Just as Fang Chen was looking at Li Mingzhu's pavilion, a beautiful figure came out from the pavilion.
Fang Chen instantly felt a cold aura rushing towards him. It was Li Mingzhu.
When Fang Chen saw Li Mingzhu, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. Li Mingzhu was dressed differently today.
Li Mingzhu was wearing a loose embroidered robe. Her hair was draped over her shoulders. Coupled with the cold aura on her body, she gave off a very stunning feeling.
"Let's go." Li Mingzhu glanced at Fang Chen and directly headed out of the Li Clan Mansion.
Fang Chen walked behind Li Mingzhu. Looking at the latter's graceful footsteps, he couldn't help but shake his head.
After leaving the Li Clan Mansion, the two of them walked through the streets. There were warriors everywhere looking at the two of them.
Actually, these people were all looking at Li Mingzhu.
"Isn't that Li Mingzhu? She's so beautiful."
"Yeah, Li Mingzhu and Fang Chen are together. Could it be that the Li Clan wants to betroth Li Mingzhu to Fang Chen?"
"Maybe. The potential that Fang Chen has shown is too shocking. If the Li Clan wants to tie Fang Chen down, this is the only way."
Many passersby were discussing in low voices.
Li Mingzhu and Fang Chen ignored them and quickly headed towards the Kaiyang City branch.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the Kaiyang City branch.
"This is the Kaiyang City branch," Fang Chen looked at the tall building in front of him and said in a low voice.
In front of him, there was a very tall pavilion. A golden plaque hung above it with the words "Five Elements Chamber of Commerce Kaiyang City Branch" written on it.
"Go in."
Li Mingzhu said these two words and then entered the Kaiyang City branch.
Li Mingzhu was famous in Kaiyang City. She attracted the attention of countless warriors as soon as she arrived. The entire hall on the first floor was in an uproar.
"You're really popular." Fang Chen sighed.
At this moment, a fat man squeezed out of the crowd and walked in front of Li Mingzhu. He laughed and said, "Mingzhu, why are you here?"
Seeing this fat man, Fang Chen had already guessed that this fat man should be Li Mingzhu's fanatical pursuer, Kai Jun.
As expected, before Li Mingzhu could speak, the fat man said, "Mingzhu, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the Chamber of Commerce? Whatever you need, as long as you like it, you can take it."
The fat man, Kai Jun, gave Fang Chen the feeling that he was rich and overbearing.
"He wants to exchange for spirit stones." Li Mingzhu glanced at Kai Jun and said.
"Yes, this brother is."
Kai Jun had been busy these past few days and didn't know anything about the Kaiyang City competition, so he didn't recognize Fang Chen.
"Young master Kai Jun, he's Fang Chen. He replaced Li Xiaoke at the Kaiyang City competition and stole the limelight," said a subordinate in a low voice.
"Oh, how did he steal the limelight?" Kai Jun looked thoughtfully at Fang Chen and asked.
"At the Kaiyang City competition, he single-handedly suppressed the younger generation of the other two great families. He killed Yang Fang with one punch and easily defeated Yang Xiujian. Even Lu Lianxue didn't dare to go on stage," continued the subordinate.
Hearing this, a solemn expression finally surfaced in Kai Jun's eyes.
He hadn't expected the person in front of him to have such strength.
However, when he saw Fang Chen and Li Mingzhu walk over side by side, his eyes flickered and a complicated expression flashed. He then said, "Brother Fang, you want to exchange for spirit stones?"
Fang Chen nodded. "I heard that the Kaiyang City branch can exchange for spirit stones, so I had Li Mingzhu bring me here."
"Mingzhu, is he your friend?" asked Kai Jun.
"He's a martial artist that Little Ke saved. He's now an honored guest of my Li family," said Li Mingzhu.
Kai Jun stared at Li Mingzhu. He could see that when she was talking about Fang Chen, there wasn't the slightest change in her expression. Now Kai Jun was relieved.
"Brother Fang, since you're Mingzhu's friend, then let's go upstairs first." Kai Jun laughed as he led Fang Chen and Li Mingzhu upstairs.
The three of them arrived at a room. This room was where Kai Jun worked.
"Sit," said Kai Jun.
Fang Chen and Li Mingzhu didn't stand on ceremony and directly sat down.
"Brother Fang, what kind of spirit stones do you want to exchange for?" asked Kai Jun.
"I have some low grade and middle grade spirit stones. I want to exchange them for top grade spirit stones," said Fang Chen.
"Our Chamber of Commerce does this business. Since you were brought here by Mingzhu, I won't beat around the bush.
We don't make much money from this business, so our exchange price will definitely be lower than the market price, "said Kai Jun.
Fang Chen nodded. "That's fine."
After chatting with Kai Jun for a while, Fang Chen realized that this fat man was actually very smart. He was suitable to be a businessman.
Moreover, the way he looked at Li Mingzhu was very passionate. It was obvious that he was a fanatical pursuer.
"Let me see the quality of your low grade spirit stones first," said Kai Jun.
Fang Chen took out a low grade spirit stone and handed it to Kai Jun. Kai Jun checked it and said, "The quality of your spirit stones is average, but don't worry. I'll give you a satisfactory price."
"Right, how much do you want?" asked Kai Jun.
Fang Chen glanced at Kai Jun and asked, "How much can I exchange for here?"
Kai Jun also looked at Fang Chen with a bit of surprise. He said, "Although our Kaiyang City branch is the smallest branch of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, our financial resources are still very strong. Brother Fang, how much do you want to exchange for?"
Hearing Kai Jun's words, Fang Chen also felt relieved.
For the quality of Fang Chen's Spirit Stones, the exchange rate for each grade of Spirit Stone could be calculated at a rate of 1000.
In other words, low grade spirit stones were exchanged for middle grade spirit stones at a ratio of one thousand to one, and middle grade spirit stones were exchanged for high grade spirit stones at a ratio of one thousand to one, and so on.
"I want to exchange for ten billion low grade spirit stones," said Fang Chen in a low voice.
"Yes, of course you can," Kai Jun said directly.
Ten billion low grade spirit stones was a lot for ordinary people. But for Kai Jun and the others, it was nothing.
If ten billion low grade spirit stones were exchanged for middle grade spirit stones at a ratio of one thousand to one, it would only be ten million.
If it was exchanged for high grade spirit stones, it would only be ten thousand pieces. If it was exchanged for top grade spirit stones, it would be a pitiful amount.
However, Supreme Grade Spiritual Stones were of the best quality among the Spiritual Stones. Even for Spiritual Vortex Realm experts, they were of great use.
"Ten billion low grade spirit stones can only be exchanged for ten pieces of top grade spirit stones."
Fang Chen sighed inwardly. When he had first obtained ten billion low grade spirit stones, he had been extremely shocked.
Now it seemed that he was just a frog at the bottom of a well.
