Over the course of the morning, Xia Fei's greatest surprise was not the number of experts on the red dwarf planet but the pharmacy.
It had to be said that the Alpha Universe was a wondrous place. Many precious items that had long been extinct in the Law Realm were actually being sold here! Though the prices were not cheap, these were all natural treasures, and Xia Fei was already very lucky to be able to buy them with money.
"Can these medicinal ingredients heal your injuries?" Radix curiously asked. He did not know much about pharmacology, but seeing Xia Fei's excited expression, he could not be wrong.
"It's hard to say, but with these medicinal ingredients and the help of a soul tool, I estimate that my injuries will be healed in less than three months!" Xia Fei said seriously.
Based on Xia Fei's most optimistic estimate, he would need half a year to recuperate, but now that he was confident that he could shorten the time to three months, it could be considered a huge improvement.
After all, Xia Fei's injuries were very complicated. Before the battle with the Renegade Ghost, Xia Fei had crazily raised his rank and soul imprint, so his foundation was not solid. Being injured in such a situation could be said to be very dangerous. Aside from his body, Xia Fei's seventh brain region was also faintly aching. These were all the repercussions of fighting to the death.
Xia Fei memorized the prices of these medicinal ingredients and did some calculations. He would need at least 1.5 million to buy all the medicinal ingredients he needed.
The red dwarf planet was the same as the other places in the Alpha Universe, using something called white pearls as currency. Meanwhile, the Law Realm's currency, Origin Crystals, was just a commodity here and not circulated.
Here was the problem. As the first person to come to the Alpha Universe from the Law Realm, Xia Fei did not even have a single white pearl. In other words, Xia Fei was currently a pauper, penniless. Let alone buying these expensive medicinal ingredients, he could not even afford to drink a large bowl of tea.
Shrugging, Xia Fei leisurely walked out of the pharmacy after calculating the price. He was met with the disdainful gaze of the pharmacy owner. This man saw that Xia Fei was only staring at the expensive items and thought that he had a big customer, so he served him attentively. Who would have thought that Xia Fei would end up buying nothing, wasting his eloquence, so he was naturally indignant.
"What's the point of being a big customer when you don't have the money?!" the pointy-faced, monkey-like owner grumbled softly.
Yuan smiled and shrugged. "There's no other way. Even in the Alpha Universe, you can't do anything without money. Why don't we just rob them like you did before?"
Xia Fei looked at Radix suspiciously. Perhaps it was because he had been with Xia Fei for a long time, but Radix had become more and more like a person, actually suggesting to rob him directly? In the past, this was simply unimaginable! After all, he was the Golden Blade Guard of the Aurora Race, and he had great self-restraint.
Smiling, Xia Fei said, "It's not that I can't rob them, but it depends on what they are. These medicinal ingredients aren't rare in the Alpha Universe, so they aren't worth my time. Even if I'm going to be a robber, I'll have to be a robber with a goal."
Radix felt very depressed. Truth be told, he really had not learned the true essence of Xia Fei's spirit. Now that he thought about it, the things that Xia Fei had robbed, be it the Pinnacle Research Station or Hua Si Niang's treasury, were all earth-shattering cases? Xia Fei really did not care about such a trivial thing.
Having said that, the feeling of not having money really made Xia Fei very unhappy. There were many famous snacks on the side of the road on the Red Dwarf Planet, brightly colored and attractive. Xia Fei originally wanted to buy one to try, but he gave up because he had no money on him.
"Looks like I'll have to think of a way to get some money." Xia Fei stood in front of a huge building and muttered to himself.
Yuan followed Xia Fei's gaze and saw that the building had tight security, and the decorations were luxurious. The people coming and going were all bedecked with jewels and jewels, all of them wealthy and respectable.
"Xia Fei, you aren't thinking of stealing from this store, are you?!"
Xia Fei softly said, "No, I'm thinking that such a luxurious store will definitely have a treasury, and I'm thinking of stealing from the treasury."
Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. As expected, he specialized in big cases. Xia Fei did not fancy that pharmacy because he thought that it was too small. In the blink of an eye, he had set his eyes on this famous Taining Arms!
"Come, let's go in." Xia Fei lifted his leg and was about to enter, but he was stopped by the doorman.
"Sir, this is the entrance to the Taining Arms Exhibition. Please show me your invitation." The doorman raised his head and spoke in an official tone, but his tone clearly showed that he was looking down on Xia Fei.
Xia Fei frowned, not liking this guy's tough tone.
This was when he heard a voice behind Xia Fei. "This young man came with me, and I don't have an invitation. Do you think I can go in?"
Xia Fei turned around and saw that it was actually Big Boss Xiang Beiyang. He was standing right behind him, and there was an old man with glasses next to him. It looked like he was Xiang Beiyang's butler or something.
"Boss Xiang!" The doorman was startled and hurriedly opened the door, respectfully saying, "The master has ordered that no one without an invitation is allowed in, but since it's Boss Xiang's honor, we naturally have to make an exception. Please come in."
Seeing that the doorman knew how to act according to the wind, Xiang Beiyang did not continue to argue with him, calmly leading Xia Fei into the Taining Arms Exhibition.
"Brother Xia Fei, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the arms exhibition? I could've arranged it for you. It's a good thing that I ran into you today, or else that snobbish brat would've ruined your reputation," Xiang Beiyang lamented.
He was being so polite because of Furball. Xiang Beiyang's business had grown to this point, and he was a slippery person. He could not understand Xia Fei, who kept a Holy Beast for fun, so he was very careful everywhere, afraid that Xia Fei might be the scion of some large clan and lose his life. If that happened, he would not even have a place to cry to.
Xiang Beiyang's butler also took the opportunity to say, "The boss didn't plan on entering the arms exhibition, but he hurried over when he saw the young man being stopped by the doorman."
As expected of Xiang Beiyang's considerate follower, the old man immediately understood what was going on the moment he saw Xiang Beiyang's attitude, so he purposely brought up the fact that Xiang Beiyang was taking care of Xia Fei.
Xiang Beiyang was all smiles. The more he looked at his butler, the more he liked him. He was thinking of giving the old man a red packet when he got back. There were not many people who could understand him so well these days.
"Thanks," Xia Fei casually said.
The old butler was a little anxious. How could Xia Fei not be grateful to his boss when he had already said so much? What kind of attitude was that with just a simple 'thanks'?
Xiang Beiyang hurriedly pulled the butler back and said, "No need to thank me. It's nothing. The young man is my benefactor, so it's only a matter of time."
The old butler was dumbfounded, thinking, 'What's wrong with the boss today? The man doesn't appreciate your kindness, yet you insist on sticking your face in front of him. Aren't you just asking for trouble? '
Little did he know that if Xia Fei had been deeply grateful to Xiang Beiyang for this small favor, Xiang Beiyang would not have cared about Xia Fei at all. It was precisely because of Xia Fei's cold and indifferent attitude that Xiang Beiyang had confirmed his suspicions.
Xia Fei was full of confidence! There was no need to buy a favor from Xiang Beiyang. He must have someone powerful backing him!
After calming down, Xiang Beiyang told the butler, "Go upstairs and wait for me. I'll personally accompany Brother Xia to see the weapons exhibition."
* Pfft *
The old butler was dumbfounded. Not only did he bring Xia Fei in, he even wanted to personally accompany him? Just what kind of person was this?
Actually, Xiang Beiyang's thoughts were not complicated. Since he was sure that Xia Fei came from some force that he could not afford to provoke, he had to do everything he could to leave a deep impression on Xia Fei. Even if he could not buy a favor from Xia Fei, he could not leave a bad impression.
After all, this was the Alpha Universe, a place where experts were as common as clouds! If any soul cultivator wanted to kill Xiang Beiyang, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. Having fought his way up from the bottom, Xiang Beiyang was well aware of the methods and ferocity of these giants. The only reason he was able to get to where he was today was because he didn't want to offend anyone.
Xiang Beiyang really did what he said. After chasing away the old butler, he accompanied Xia Fei for more than half an hour. Even though Xiang Beiyang, who was not used to exercise, was sweating profusely, he did not complain.
Those who recognized Xiang Beiyang were even more puzzled. Xia Fei was so young that he could make a famous merchant on Red Dwarf Planet, Xiang Beiyang, follow him around? Everyone looked at Xia Fei in a different light.
Instead, it was Xia Fei's nonchalant attitude toward today's weapons exhibition that made Xiang Beiyang even more uneasy.
Tai Ning Hang was a top merchant on Red Dwarf Planet, and the weapons exhibition they held was definitely top-notch in the area, yet Xia Fei did not even spare a glance at those weapons. Occasionally, there would be items that Xiang Beiyang thought to be top-notch, but Xia Fei would only glance at them. This could only mean that Xia Fei's knowledge was extraordinary!
Actually, Xia Fei really did not think much of this so-called weapons exhibition, for Xia Fei had already reached the level of using soul tools when it came to weapons and equipment!
A worker must first sharpen his tools to do a good job, and Xia Fei adhered to this principle. Though he came from the backward Law Realm, what Xia Fei had in his hands was the true legacy of the Aurora Race! Even in the Alpha Universe, it would definitely be top-notch!
Nirvana was a soul tool, Emerald was a soul tool, and White Dragoncry was a top-notch soul tool! Even the unremarkable October Flying Snow had been forged into a soul tool by Xia Fei!
Only those who had used a soul tool before would understand just how terrifying a soul tool was compared to a normal weapon! It would be strange if Xia Fei would even take a liking to these weapons.
"There's not even a single soul tool. Let's not waste our time here." As a Great Soul Hunter, Radix was about to fall asleep just from looking.
Xia Fei shrugged. Just as he was about to bid farewell and leave, a sign on a glass case suddenly piqued Xia Fei's interest.
"Consignment? Weapons can be consigned here? "Xia Fei asked.
Xiang Beiyang cautiously answered, "Of course. I don't know about others, but if Brother Xia Fei has a need, I'll immediately open a special counter for you and put the items on display. There won't be any problems."
Xiang Beiyang patted his chest as a guarantee, thinking to himself, 'That's great. If Xia Fei wants to sell any weapon, I'll just need to take a look at the grade of the weapon, and it won't be hard to tell if this kid really has a knack for it or not. "
Xia Fei nodded. Xiang Beiyang hurriedly found the person in charge of the exhibition and cleared out a very well-positioned counter before handing the key to Xia Fei. Meanwhile, Xiang Beiyang stared at Xia Fei, wanting to see just what kind of good item Xia Fei would bring out.
* Whoosh ~ *
Seeing Xia Fei unhurriedly place a snow-white dagger inside, Xiang Beiyang's expression became very ugly. He wondered, 'Such a big counter, and all it has is a broken dagger? What's going on here? '
