Silver Soul. Xia Fei stepped onto the ship and heard the laughter of two people in the command deck.
"You don't have to laugh at me. Back then, you stole two Ice Dragon Fruits from my master, enraging him and hunting you down for three whole years. You haven't forgotten about that, have you? It's a good thing you ran fast, or else with my master's temper, he would've broken your legs. "
The voice was very familiar. Xia Fei walked into the command deck and saw Fuchen chatting with Black Orchid.
"Master Black Orchid, why have you come to my place?" Xia Fei asked curiously. He had just said goodbye to him, and they were meeting again in his ship just a few minutes later. This was a little too fast, was it not?
Fuchen smiled and said, "Let me tell you a piece of good news. Black Orchid plans to leave his broken tower and travel with us. From now on, wherever we go, he will follow."
"Though Black Orchid is a plant-type spiritualist, he's very powerful. If we were to really fight, I might not have the upper hand."
Black Orchid waved his hand disapprovingly. "Look at what you're saying. You're making me out to be a hired thug. We plant-type spiritualists pay particular attention to peace of mind. Don't expect me to fight and kill like you guys."
Turning his head, Black Orchid said to Xia Fei, "To tell you the truth, the reason why I made this decision is because of your unique ability. My plants will grow much faster around you. As long as you're willing to let my plants stay in your training room, your business will be my business."
Black Orchid was very serious when he said this. Xia Fei thought about it and smiled. "Having a plant-type spiritualist like you by my side is naturally more than I could ever ask for. Isn't it just nurturing your plants along the way? This is just a small matter. "
"Master Fuchen and I will be heading to the borderlands soon. Having you around is the best way to deal with those renegade ghosts. "
Black Orchid furrowed his brows. He asked Fuchen. "Renegade ghosts? Isn't it just a small, uncivilized race at the borderlands? Do they have a grudge against you? "
Fuchen said, "It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later. "
The three chatted for a while before Xia Fei started up the Silver Soul and began their return journey.
It was not a bad thing for Xia Fei to keep Black Orchid by his side. He was a Spirit Master, and there were plenty of people who wished to get close to a Spirit Master. There was no way Xia Fei would reject Black Orchid who had delivered herself to his doorstep.
However, Xia Fei soon discovered that Black Orchid had a very bad habit. Every day, he would urge Xia Fei to cultivate, even filling the entire training room with his plants.
There was no other way. Only when Xia Fei released his spiritual energy would the plants grow faster. That was why the impatient Ulan could not wait for Xia Fei to spend every minute and second cultivating, so that her plants would grow even faster.
…
Along the way, the Silver Soul sped back to the Garde 83. Xia Fei led Fuchen and Black Orchid to the Aurora Courtyard and let them have some tea in the living room while he looked for Iron Tiger, Jing Xiao, and Xiao Huai.
How's the screening going? Xia Fei asked.
Iron Tiger answered, "More or less. The few of us haven't been idle for a moment. Right now, there are around six thousand people who have passed the first and second rounds of screening. The Aurora Clan is indeed a large clan. There are plenty of warriors with potential in the clan, and it's been quite a headache for us to select these six thousand people."
Xia Fei nodded. Opposite him, Jing Xiao and Xiao Huai were quite pleased. The title of a large clan was not just for show. The Aurora Clan had their own system of nurturing warriors, but due to the teachings of the clan, many did not appreciate violence, which was far from what Xia Fei wanted.
In Xia Fei's mind, since he was a warrior, he needed to be arrogant and unreasonable! They needed to have an aura that could slaughter the world! It would be best if they were all like those lunatics from the Skywing Clan, charging forward and killing them all at the slightest disagreement!
It seemed like there was no hope for the cultured and refined Aurora Clan to reach this level. In truth, there were no existences like the Skywing Clan in the entire universe, so Xia Fei could only settle for the next best thing and lower his requirements.
"That's not enough," Xia Fei said in a deep voice. Xia Fei said in a deep voice, "I'll cut down another five hundred people from them. This time, I'll be bringing them to carry out a special test."
Iron Tiger was slightly taken aback, but he nodded. "Alright, I'll do my best."
"Not your best. Gather the selected people tomorrow morning. I want to give them a surprise," Xia Fei ordered.
Old man Jing Xiao curiously asked, "What's so urgent? What about those who aren't selected? "
Xia Fei answered, "Those who aren't selected just won't be able to participate in this mission, but there'll still be opportunities in the future. As for what to do, you'll naturally know when I get back."
With that done, everyone went back to their own matters. Xia Fei returned to Fuchen and Black Orchid's room and lit a cigarette for himself.
"You're done setting things up so quickly? When are we leaving? "Fuchen asked.
"Tomorrow night, I've gotten Iron Tiger to select five hundred people to follow us. I'll need Master Black Orchid to make a trip then," Xia Fei said.
"Me?" Black Orchid laughed. "What do you need me to do?"
"Motivate," Xia Fei said in a deep voice. Xia Fei said in a deep voice, "Everyone has potential. As long as there's enough stimulation, even a good person can become a madman. That's why I hope to use your status in the Cleric Union to encourage these warriors."
Black Orchid nodded. "That's not a problem. I'll do as you say. Do you need to report to Xiao Hezai of the Aurora Tribe about the warriors you brought out?"
Xia Fei asked, "Do you know Xiao Hezai?"
Black Orchid answered, "I do. Actually, the Aurora Tribe has a few powerful people, and Xiao Hezai is one of them. It's just that he's very well hidden, so not everyone knows about him."
Xia Fei said, "Forget about the report. Honestly, though I'm related to the Aurora Tribe, I'm independent of the family. Since they've agreed to let me open an academy and guide the descendants of the tribe, then everything should be up to me."
With that, Xiao Huai informed Xia Fei that Sky Treasure Pavilion's Bao Xiuzhu had arrived.
Fuchen and Black Orchid smiled at each other as if they were up to no good.
Xia Fei did not care about this and went out to welcome Bao Xiuzhu into the room next door.
"Have you prepared the things I asked for?" Xia Fei asked.
Bao Xiuzhu appeared somewhat restrained. She placed a spatial ring in front of Xia Fei.
"A total of five hundred soul tools, and most of them are elementary. They're not high in rank, but they're very useful, "Bao Xiuzhu said simply.
Xia Fei did not even look at it. He kept the spatial ring in his bosom. He smiled and said, "Sky Treasure Pavilion has done me a great favor this time. How can I thank you? "
Seeing that Xia Fei was satisfied, Bao Xiuzhu let out a sigh of relief. Xia Fei was really demanding an exorbitant price this time, asking for five hundred soul tools in one go. Sky Treasure Pavilion had no choice but to raise funds everywhere. Only then could they deliver the goods on time.
Blinking, Bao Xiuzhu said, "You're treating me like an outsider. There's no need to be so polite when it comes to helping each other."
What a sly choice of words. Bao Xiuzhu was indeed a lady from a merchant family. The key was to help each other. Ever since Xia Fei made contact with the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion, Bao Xiuzhu had helped Xia Fei a lot, and Xia Fei had only given her two healing-type soul tools.
No matter how precious a healing-type soul tool was, it was not worth exchanging for five hundred normal soul tools. Xia Fei still needed to compensate Sky Treasure Pavilion.
After some thought, Xia Fei took out a few items from the spatial ring. One of them was that golden Soul Eye. Bao Xiuzhu's expression changed drastically when she saw it.
"This is the legendary Soul Eye?!" Bao Xiuzhu hurriedly said.
Xia Fei nodded. "That's right. It's a Soul Eye. I wonder if these items can match the value of the soul tool this time? If it's not enough, I can give you a few more healing-type soul tools when I'm free. "
Bao Xiuzhu nodded repeatedly, looking pleasantly surprised. "I won't hide it from you. We originally planned to use the two healing-type soul tools you brought last time as our sect's treasures. Who knew that an old friend of my father's found out? He exchanged one of them for a sky-high price. Together with this rare Soul Eye, it's enough to match the value of the soul tool this time, and we even made a profit."
Bao Xiuzhu's words were inevitably exaggerated. Five hundred soul tools had almost emptied Sky Treasure Pavilion's foundation. It was only thanks to the fact that they were one of the four major trading companies in the Alpha Cosmos that they managed to hold on.
However, there was something more important than money, and that was connections.
It was because of Xia Fei's healing-type soul tool that Sky Treasure Pavilion was able to establish a relationship with a superpower in the Alpha Cosmos. They would not even have dared to think about such a thing in the past. Money could be earned again, but connections needed to be accumulated over time. This was especially true for merchants. Their status was low to begin with, so it was not easy for them to climb up.
The ambition of the Bao family was never to earn a lot of money. Instead, they hoped to be like a super wealthy family like Yongye Qiming, becoming a wealthy family one day and being respected by the world.
Xia Fei nonchalantly said, "Take it. If you need anything else, we can talk about it later. I won't take advantage of you for free. As long as you abide by the rules of our cooperation, I guarantee that you'll get even more in the future."
Bao Xiuzhu was slightly taken aback. She silently kept the items. This was the huge difference between a spirit-master and a merchant. Be it Xia Fei's healing-type soul tool or Soul Eye, they were all insignificant items to Xia Fei, but in Bao Xiuzhu's eyes, these items that Xia Fei did not care about were priceless treasures that could not be bought with money.
…
It was close to noon the next day, and the Aurora Courtyard was packed with people.
There was a clear division. On one side were the five hundred warriors with the most potential, and on the other side were those who had failed.
Those who had been chosen naturally held their heads high, but the Aurora Tribe had always prided themselves on modesty. These warriors looked a little less imposing in Xia Fei's eyes.
Xia Fei silently walked onto the stage and swept his gaze across the crowd. He then turned to Master Ulan and nodded silently, a strange smile on his lips.
Ulan sighed, silently reciting the lines that Xia Fei had given him. Today, he was going to put on a show with Xia Fei, giving these honest warriors a shot of adrenaline.
"My name is Xia Fei. Everyone probably already knows about me, so there's no need to say more. As everyone knows, this academy of the Aurora Tribe came from my master. Though he isn't here today, he's here with a friend of mine, a rank 8 Spiritual Master from the Spiritual Master Union, Ulan!" Xia Fei said with a smile.
With that, Xia Fei extended an arm and made an inviting gesture.
