The outer treasury is divided into three parts: rare treasures, magical weapons, and Crystal Cores. The inner treasury is not categorized, but it is filled with treasures. If you want to use the items in the treasury, you need the approval of the elders. This is the outer treasury, and the key to the inner treasury is split into two halves. One is in the hands of the leader, and the other is in the hands of the speaker. Only matters that concern the survival of the business can open the inner treasury. "Lone Bamboo explained," The treasury is divided into three parts: the outer treasury and the inner treasury.
Ji Dong looked confused, and he said, "If that is the case, then how did Wang Daojun open the inner treasury and take out the Regalia?" He didn't need to ask to know that a Regalia should be stored in the inner treasury.
Lone Bamboo sighed and said, "This is the special nature of the chairman. Every year, the chairman has the authority to inspect the inner and outer treasuries. The chairman cannot be in the Chamber of Commerce all the time. So, the chairman's key is monitored by the council. If the chairman needs to inspect the inner treasuries, and the chairman isn't there, then ten or more elders will oversee the process. With Wang Daojun's influence, it shouldn't be difficult for him to retrieve the relic."
Ji Dong said, "I see. No wonder he is so arrogant."
Lone Bamboo gave a wry smile and said, "This time, Wang Daojun was taken down, and it shook the entire Chamber of Commerce. Luckily, you performed a miracle and completed the three tests. He lost the Regalia, too. If it wasn't for that, it would have been hard to say who would have won. The chairman and I are both Nine Crown Demon Masters, but when it comes to control of the Chamber of Commerce, who can compete with Wang Daojun? After all, two-thirds of the Chamber of Commerce's businesses are directly or indirectly controlled by him. Other than what I've just said, the most important reason why we were able to win is because of the characteristics of merchants. Merchants value profit. They will support whoever can bring them the most profit. Without a doubt, the entire Chamber of Commerce is now wholeheartedly supporting you to become the next president. This is the true reason why he lost. Otherwise, just losing a divine artifact wouldn't have been enough to defeat him. "
As they spoke, they arrived at a palace-like building at the innermost part of the Dungeon.
Lone Bamboo stopped and said, "This palace is used to commemorate the leaders and speakers of the Chamber of Commerce. When they die, they are buried here. The entrance to the treasury is also here."
In front of the palace-like building, there were two old men in their sixties sitting on chairs. They looked relaxed, but they blocked the entrance to the building. Ji Dong could tell how strong they were from their presences. Ji Dong was shocked that the two old men were not as strong as Zhou Xiaoxiao, but they were as strong as Lone Bamboo. They were both in the early stages of Nine Crowns, and their magic was around level 92 or 93.
A Supreme-Being guarding the door? Ji Dong looked at Lone Bamboo with confusion, but Lone Bamboo had already walked forward. He bowed to the two old men and said, "Seniors, let me introduce you. This is our leader's heir." As he spoke, he moved aside to let Ji Dong in front of him.
Ji Dong looked shocked. He understood now. This was the true power of the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce. It was probably why Wang Daojun was not afraid of Zhou Xiaoxiao and Lone Bamboo. These two old men were Geng Metal element elites.
"Greetings, Seniors." Ji Dong bowed slightly and gestured to the two elders.
The old man on the left was thin. He looked at Hyōhime and looked him over. His cloudy eyes flashed. He said, "You are the successor that the fat man recommended?"
Ji Dong smiled and said, "Yes."
The thin old man smiled and said, "Then let's go in." Although that was what he said, he and the other old man did not move aside.
Ji Dong Hun walked forward as if there was no one in front of him. Just as he was about to approach the two elders, a slim figure had already flashed in front of him. She raised her hands at the same time and slapped at the two elders on the chairs.
The two old men snorted coldly at the same time, flipped their right palms up, and blocked that slender palm that was slapping over. Four palms met, the expressions of the two old men who still had a leisurely expression changed at the same time. With an explosive 'kacha' sound, the chairs under their bodies instantly turned into countless fragments and scattered in all directions. The two of them also quickly flipped over, almost directly falling to the ground, but the appearance of flipping over was already very embarrassing.
After the slim shadow knocked away the two old men, she moved aside and made way. At this time, Ji Dong had just arrived. It was as if he had not seen what had happened. He walked forward and went straight to the palace-like building. The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples followed closely behind. Like Ji Dong, they did not look at the two Geng Metal Supremes. What kind of power did she have to be to do that?
Even Lone Bamboo's eyes widened in disbelief, let alone the two old men who had been knocked away. He knew that Ji Dong would have a way to deal with the two Guardian Elders who were under the command of the chairman. However, he did not expect that a woman from Ji Dong's side could easily knock away the two old men. What kind of power did she have to be to do that?
The slim shadow was Ah Jin. She had made a move at Chen Sixuan's signal. She had replaced Ji Dong, who had been about to make a move himself. Xin Jin and Geng Metal restrained each other. It all depended on who was stronger. With Ah Jin's cultivation at the level of nine crowns, her magic was definitely not as good as the two old men. However, she was not human. She was a dragon, and she was the heir of the ancestor dragon's purest bloodline. Her Saint-class body was not as simple as it seemed. Her power and magic exploded at the same time. Even the Saint-class Fire Demon Lord could not handle it, let alone the two old men at the level of nine crowns. Her unparalleled power sent them flying and destroyed the chairs they were sitting on.
The two old men's expressions flickered with uncertainty, but neither of them made another move. Ah Jin's outburst had made them feel a deep fear. Although they looked to be in their sixties, in reality, they were more than a hundred years old. After that palm strike, the Qi and blood in their bodies surged, and they could not calm down for a long time. They did not make another move because they did not want to humiliate themselves. They finally understood why Wang Daojun had lost so miserably.
Lone Bamboo looked at the two disappointed old men and quickly walked forward. He followed the Heavenly Stem holy disciples into the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, Ji Dong saw Zhou Xiaoxiao waiting there. The fat man looked apologetic as he watched Hyōhime move. Clearly, he knew what the two old men were doing.
Ji Dong smiled and said, "Let's go. Why are you still standing there? Where is the treasury?" He was not interested in the appearance of the hall, and he did not care about what had just happened. Lone Bamboo had already warned him. Although he did not say it explicitly, when he saw the two elites, Ji Dong understood that Zhou Xiaoxiao still did not have complete control over the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that Ji Dong didn't blame her, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt even more embarrassed. She nodded and bitterly smiled: "I have no choice. These Supreme-Beings are only loyal to the Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, some of them are Wang Daojun's elders. Although they can't say anything on the surface, they will still target me.
Lone Bamboo caught up with them. He walked up to Zhou Xiaoxiao and said something to her.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was shocked. She looked at Ah Jin, who was acting as if nothing had happened. She mumbled something, and Hyōhime gestured for them to go ahead.
The Heavenly Dry Saints could hear what she was mumbling. She said, "It turns out that the little bastard is not the only monster."
Inside the hall, everything was carved out of white jade. On both sides of the hall, there were eight white jade pillars. In the innermost part of the hall, there was a statue that was ten meters tall.
Without a doubt, this statue was the founder of the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce. Using pure white jade to decorate the interior of a building was something that not even the royal family could do. Only the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce could do such a thing. That showed how rich they were. Zhou Xiaoxiao's claim that the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce supported the entire West Jin Kingdom was not a joke.
Zhou Xiaoxiao led the group to the back of the hall through a side door. The narrow hallway was made of white jade, and there were magic lamps on both sides. The fuel inside the lamps was the crystal core of a level-six fire-element Demonic Beast. This place was not extravagant, and there were no gemstones embedded in it, but the low-key luxury was shocking.
As they walked, Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Turn right from the front, and you will see the burial place of the previous presidents and speakers. I won't show you around. Let's go straight to the treasury."
Along the way, they did not encounter any guards. The entire hall was quiet, as if they were the only ones present. The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples naturally understood this point. If they could not even defend against the two Supreme-Being guards outside, what was the point of having a bunch of guards?
Zhou Xiaoxiao said to Hyōhime, "The people you met outside the door were all Elders of the Chamber of Commerce. After they got old, they retired here and didn't participate in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. They just guard this place. In the eyes of these conservative Elders, I, the president, am just an outsider, and Wang Daojun, the speaker, is the real successor of the Chamber of Commerce. So you can understand why Wang Daojun could easily take away the Divine Artifact, and why my control over this place is so weak.
Ji Dong replied, "From what you're saying, there are more than two of them?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "There are more in the treasury. This is the foundation of our Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce for 500 years. It was built with money and all kinds of treasures. When the first president expanded the Chamber of Commerce, the first thing he did was to adopt a large number of talented children and train them with all his strength. After hundreds of years, this tradition has never been broken. I dare say that our Chamber of Commerce is comparable to any country in terms of fighting strength. The first president was very wise. He understood that if he didn't have the same strength to protect himself, then everything would be useless. Therefore, he spared no effort to train talents. At the same time, he made an iron rule that the president must be a Supreme Master."
Ji Dong nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, the wealth of your Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce is comparable to that of any country. Your first president is really far-sighted. No wonder the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce has been standing for 500 years and the Western Jin Empire is willing to be controlled and influenced by you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Now you know how strong our Chamber of Commerce is. In the future, we will rely on you to lead the entire Chamber of Commerce. The most depressing thing in my life is that I have never been able to control the entire Chamber of Commerce. This time, with your help, I'm afraid that it's still impossible for me to control the entire Chamber of Commerce. However, I believe that after you take over the Chamber of Commerce, no one will dare to oppose you."
Ji Dong glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao and didn't say anything.
After making two turns and entering the rear hall, another statue appeared in front of everyone. This time, it wasn't a statue of a person, but an incomparably large gold coin. There were ten different colored gems inlaid into a circle on the gold coin, and they were the images of ten different types of totemic divine beasts. This gold coin had a diameter of five meters, and the heavy feeling it gave off told everyone that it was made of pure gold.
"Oh my God!" Yao Qianshu leaped forward, his eyes flashing with the same brilliance as the gold coin. He was about to pounce on the big gold coin, but Zhou Xiaoxiao grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
"Be careful, there are traps on it. Do you want to die?" Zhou Xiaoxiao said in a bad mood. At the same time, he was convinced that this guy really loved money. No wonder Ji Dong recommended him to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
After putting Yao Qianshu down, Zhou Xiaoxiao strode forward, raised his hands at the same time, and quickly patted the big gold coin.
Although his movements were very fast, they were also very rhythmic. The gold coin trembled slightly under his patting, and the inlaid gems on it slowly fell off. The sound of the mechanism rang out, and the huge gold coin slowly moved backward, revealing a passage.
Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Below us is the outer vault of the treasury. This large gold coin and this rear hall are filled with traps. It's fine if you don't touch the gold coin, but once you do, a destructive mechanism will immediately activate. It's completely designed to deal with Supreme-Being experts. This place has been invaded by bandits three times, and all of them were Supreme-Being experts. However, not a single one of them managed to escape alive."
After explaining to everyone, he took the lead and walked down the passage. Everyone followed him, and finally entered the treasury of this foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce.
