When people say that shopping can relieve a woman's unhappiness, it's not just women—men feel the same way. And if the money spent isn't their own, it's even more stress-relieving.

"Ma Liang!"

"Here!" The lucky Ma Liang jumped out from among the disciples.

"I'm planning to buy some things in Yu City. Go find out which is the largest Chamber of Commerce there and have them come over. I'll need them to transport the goods to the Grand Sky Sect."

"Huh? Senior Brother Xinghe, we have the Space Ring..." Ma Liang waved his hand, but Chu Xinghe shook his head.

Ma Liang didn't ask any more questions. Whatever Senior Brother Xinghe arranged, he would follow.

Soon, Ma Liang found the largest Chamber of Commerce in Yu City. Goodness... it turned out to be their own Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce...

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties. Upon seeing Chu Xinghe, he respectfully bowed.

His name was Qin Xiangqian, the branch president of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce's western district. Outside, he was definitely a formidable figure.

In Yu City, anyone who saw Qin Xiangqian would have to call him Master Qin.

But today, Master Qin was exceptionally respectful when he met Chu Xinghe.

Because when Ma Liang found him, he had already explained in detail who Chu Xinghe was.

The personal disciple of the Great Elder, inheritor of the Rosefinch Spirit Flame and the Medicine Saint's legacy, owner of the Grand Sky Sword Box, and someone whom even the Sect Master wanted as a personal disciple but was directly refused by Senior Brother Xinghe.

Yet the Sect Master wasn't angry; instead, he taught him the Grand Sky Battle Intent and even gave him the Grand Sky Token. Senior Brother Xinghe became the first in Grand Sky Sect's history to misuse the Grand Sky Token and only be confined for three months. So what kind of person was Senior Brother Xinghe? Ma Liang left it for Qin Xiangqian to ponder.

Does it even need pondering? Qin Xiangqian didn't become the western district branch president just because of his large belly!

Though Qin Xiangqian came from an outer disciple background, many outer disciples of the Grand Sky Sect, after a certain period, couldn't enter the inner sect, so the sect would arrange other jobs for them.

Joining the Chamber of Commerce was one such path.

Qin Xiangqian rose from an outer disciple to the branch president of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce's western district, showcasing his adeptness in navigating various situations.

So after hearing Ma Liang's introduction to Senior Brother Xinghe, Qin Xiangqian knew... treating him as the Great Elder himself was absolutely right. While it's uncertain if he will be the next Grand Sky Sect Master, being the master of the Spirit Crane Palace is a given.

"Qin Xiangqian, branch president of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce's western district, greets Senior Brother Xinghe!"

Qin Xiangqian addressed him directly, but there was nothing wrong with this address. No matter how influential Qin Xiangqian was, he was still an outer disciple, and addressing someone like Chu Xinghe, a personal disciple, as Senior Brother was entirely appropriate.

"President Qin, I don't dare accept the title of Senior Brother." Chu Xinghe looked at Qin Xiangqian, whose hair was slightly graying, feeling a bit speechless.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, you jest. You are from the inner sect, and I am from the outer sect. It's a rule in the Grand Sky Sect for outer sect members to address inner sect members as Senior Brother. Though I don't frequent the sect, I never forget the rules." Qin Xiangqian's words made Ma Liang nod.

Chu Xinghe was helpless but decided not to argue further and directly stated his plan for the day.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"President Qin, I plan to buy some things in Yu City... Well... as gifts for the brothers and sisters of the sect and the elders."

"Huh? How many should I prepare? I can help with the selection."

"One for everyone, including the outer sect!"

Qin Xiangqian: "???"

Qin Xiangqian was truly shocked this time. One for everyone?

How many people are in the Grand Sky Sect? Just the eighteen inner sect palaces, plus the Grand Sky Palace, make nineteen. Some palaces have tens of thousands of people, while the smaller ones have thousands.

Calculating like this, the total number of inner sect disciples in the Grand Sky Sect is an enormous figure.

To give everyone, including outer disciples, a gift? Honestly, Qin Xiangqian couldn't even calculate the cost.

"No worries... We'll use a blind box method, buy a lot, and let everyone draw a blind box. Whatever they get is what they get." Seeing Qin Xiangqian's confused look, Chu Xinghe explained his plan.

Blind box? Qin Xiangqian didn't understand, but Chu Xinghe explained.

Mix all the gifts, put them in boxes of varying sizes but identical appearance, and let everyone choose. Whatever they pick is what they get.

This unique way of gifting left Qin Xiangqian bewildered. He initially thought Chu Xinghe intended to bring valuable gifts for the Sect Master and elders, but he never expected...

Ma Liang was also stunned. No wonder Senior Brother Xinghe didn't use the Space Ring; with this quantity, the Space Ring couldn't possibly hold it all.

Though Qin Xiangqian didn't understand why Chu Xinghe was doing this, he immediately arranged for people to prepare the boxes Chu Xinghe mentioned.

Qin Xiangqian himself accompanied Chu Xinghe on a shopping spree in Yu City.

Taking Chu Xinghe to the largest commercial street in Yu City, the biggest trade area there.

But a few minutes later, Qin Xiangqian witnessed firsthand what Xinghe-style shopping was!

"This shop looks good, I'll take it..."

"Take? Take what?"

"Everything except the owner and staff!"

"Huh? Okay... okay..."

"This shop is nice too, all gold and silver jewelry, I'll take it all!"

"This jewelry store is decent, I'll take it all!"

"This clothing store... forget the clothes, just buy all the accessories!"

Others buy things by the piece, but Chu Xinghe buys by the store!

So, in a short time, the entire commercial street was abuzz.

A super-rich person had come to Yu City, buying things without picking pieces, purchasing entire stores!

Sweeping through the entire commercial street, except for a few stores Chu Xinghe didn't fancy, almost all available goods were swept clean by him.

All the store owners weren't in their shops today; they stood outside, welcoming him. They've seen wealthy people, but never someone this wealthy.

Qin Xiangqian was also embarrassed. In the Grand Sky Sect, if you ask which palace is the most powerful, no one would concede.

But if you ask who is the richest, if the Spirit Crane Palace claims second, other palaces would definitely call them shameless.

But how rich is the Spirit Crane Palace? Today, Qin Xiangqian saw it.

Because Chu Xinghe said, these were all pocket money given by his senior brothers...

Listen to that... pocket money... can your pocket money buy out one street and then another?

If it weren't unnecessary, Qin Xiangqian suspected Chu Xinghe could buy Yu City and move it.

Shopping continued until evening, with Chu Xinghe emptying seven districts of Yu City. The entire city was abuzz with talk of a super-rich person sweeping through Yu City.

In the evening, they didn't return to the Grand Sky Sect because the teleportation array needed some preparation, so they stayed in Yu City.

However, this time they didn't choose the Fan Inn, as Qin Xiangqian was there, and the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce was there too. How could they let their own people stay outside?

Qin Xiangqian directly arranged for everyone to rest in the western district branch of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce.

After dinner, Qin Xiangqian accompanied Chu Xinghe for a walk around the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce, but after a few steps, a subordinate came to report.

"Just say whatever it is, Senior Brother Xinghe is one of us from the Grand Sky Sect!" Qin Xiangqian said directly, seeing his subordinate hesitate.

The subordinate quickly bowed to Chu Xinghe and then reported the matter.

"President, Jia Gui from the Listening Snow Tower is here again!"

"Didn't I tell him to leave? Why is he back!" Qin Xiangqian was furious, and seeing Chu Xinghe's puzzled look, he quickly explained, "Senior Brother Xinghe, you may not know."

"Our western district branch is closest to the Spirit Vein Mountain. Beyond the Fish Scale Mountains is the Spirit Vein Mountain, so the mining of spirit stone ores is also our responsibility."

"Recently, a large mine was discovered. Several chambers of commerce, including ours, bought a large amount of raw ore from it. As long as we transport this batch of raw ore from the Spirit Vein Mountain to the Shi family in the eastern district, we'll make ten times the profit!"

The Shi family Qin Xiangqian mentioned is one of the top three families in the world, even ranking above the Huang family.

The Shi family made their fortune from spirit stones, and the saying "all spirit stones come from the Shi family" is not just talk.

The Shi family has long been purchasing large quantities of raw spirit stone ores from all over, and through their special methods, they can extract the spirit stones from the raw ore. The large mine discovered at the Spirit Vein Mountain was identified by an elder from the Shi family as a super mine capable of producing high-grade spirit stones. Various parties scrambled to buy it, and once the raw ore is transported to the Shi family, using their methods to extract the spirit stones would mean at least ten times the profit.

However, Jia Gui from the Listening Snow Tower, also one of the top ten sects, got the news late and couldn't buy any raw ore. Jia Gui has been pleading everywhere, knowing that the Grand Sky Sect purchased the most raw ore, and is willing to buy the spirit stones from them at five times the price.

Could Qin Xiangqian agree to that?

We've already bought the raw ore. Once we transport it to the Shi family and open it, we earn ten times. Now you want to buy it at five times the price? Are we stupid?

This would mean a loss for the Grand Sky Sect!

Qin Xiangqian passionately explained this to Chu Xinghe.

But when Chu Xinghe heard the word "loss," his eyes lit up!

Originally, they could earn ten times, but now selling at five times means the Grand Sky Sect would invisibly lose five times, right?

This math he could do!

"President Qin, take me to see the raw ore!" Chu Xinghe said, and Qin Xiangqian naturally didn't say much, leading Chu Xinghe to the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce's underground warehouse.

Soon, in the warehouse, Chu Xinghe saw the mountain of raw ore...

Goodness, with so much raw ore, and at ten times the price... Chu Xinghe's eyes were shining.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, once this deal is done, our western district will surely become the top of the four districts this year! These raw ores are enough to supply the Grand Sky Sect's consumption for a year!"

Qin Xiangqian's eyes were red with excitement, and so were Chu Xinghe's!

The annual spirit stone consumption quota of the Grand Sky Sect! That's an astronomical number he couldn't possibly calculate!

In an instant, Chu Xinghe made a decision!

"Sell the raw ore to Jia Gui!"

"Huh?" Qin Xiangqian looked at Chu Xinghe, utterly confused.
