Purple Eyes!
Chapter 395: Purple Eyes
"This is my exclusive exotic beast, Furball. This fellow is very cunning. I don't know what species it is, but it's full of evil tricks, causing me trouble all day long," Xia Fei casually said.
Yuhua silently nodded, not saying anything.
Xia Fei's original intention was to sound Yuhua out and see if he knew anything about Furball. After all, his cultivation was extremely high, and his identity was even more mysterious. He had been observing Furball ever since he entered the cabin, so he might know something about Furball's origins.
While it was true that Furball was somewhat cunning, what Xia Fei could not fathom was its ability to convert objects into energy. This ability was practically heaven-defying, so he very much wanted to find out what kind of exotic beast Furball was so that he could make good use of it and train it in the future.
"Master Yu, you're very knowledgeable. Do you know what kind of creature Furball is?" Xia Fei asked again, unwilling to give up.
"I don't, but it looks like it's a pretty good exotic beast," Yuhua said after taking a sip of tea.
Xia Fei could easily tell from his tone that he was being perfunctory. Since Yuhua was unwilling to say, Xia Fei could only give up. His cultivation was far inferior to Yuhua's, and Xia Fei might have tied him up and interrogated him if he were anyone else, but Xia Fei was helpless against a mysterious person like Yuhua.
Xia Fei was not in a hurry to ask about the Three Great Laws. Instead, he first said some flattering words before giving a gift.
Giving gifts was a time-tested method of Xia Fei, and it had always been Xia Fei's principle to give gifts wherever he went. Since he had met the expert Yuhua today, there was no exception. As the saying went, gifts were not to be blamed, and the number of gifts could bridge the gap between people, so there were only benefits and no downsides.
Xia Fei's gifts were naturally tea leaves and snacks produced on Earth. He suddenly remembered that the Endaro Galaxy had fallen, and it was uncertain whether he would ever be able to drink the sweet Longjing tea again. Xia Fei felt very uncomfortable and could not help but feel a little sad. No matter what, Earth was his home, and no matter where he went, it was always hard to forget his home. It was like a seed that was planted in his heart, slowly growing and sprouting, never to be erased.
Yuhua accepted all the gifts Xia Fei gave, not even bothering to reject them. All he did was softly say that he was sorry, but his hands were very embarrassed.
After chatting for a while, Xia Fei felt that the atmosphere was about right, so he got Lil Pea to set up the table and brought over a bottle of good wine to drink with Yuhua.
"Master Yu's divine arts are truly mysterious. I nearly jumped out of my skin when you suddenly appeared by my side just now. I thought that I had alarmed some god, but I didn't expect it to be you. Come, Xia Fei, this toast to you."
Yuhua nodded, picking up a glass of wine and taking a small sip. It was unknown whether it was because of Furball or something else, but the usually talkative Yuhua had stopped talking ever since he boarded Xia Fei's warship, though he would often glance over at Furball, seemingly very fond and surprised of the fellow.
"Grandmaster Yu, what brings you to the insectoid territory?" Xia Fei asked.
Yuhua replied in a relaxed manner, "I'm a merchant who came here to visit an old friend."
Xia Fei was puzzled. "Does that mean that there are other people living on this nameless planet?"
Yu Hua smiled but didn't reply, minding his own business and drinking.
The radar scan clearly showed that there were no intelligent lifeforms living on this planet. Could the system have made a mistake? However, when he thought of Yuhua's terrifying cultivation, Xia Fei was relieved. There was no way the radar system could detect such monstrous existences, so this was to be expected.
"Grandmaster Yu, since you're a merchant, may I know what you're selling?" Xia Fei asked.
"As long as it's something you can think of, I can get it for you," Yuhua boasted shamelessly.
Xia Fei replied, "I accidentally destroyed my combat suit earlier. I wonder if you have a suitable one?"
Yuhua smiled. "I've seen your suit, and if I'm not mistaken, it can increase the explosive nature of a warrior, ensuring that their aura won't be overwhelmed by the enemy when they're fighting to the death. Though it's passable, it's not meant for speed ability users. It wasn't a problem when your rank wasn't high, but now that you're at the Legendary rank, that combat suit is no longer suitable for you."
Xia Fei replied, "You're right. Wearing it can indeed increase one's aura. It seems that you're no ordinary expert, being able to see through the Bloodthirsty Ice God's true colors with a single glance."
Xia Fei seized the opportunity to flatter Yuhua, and Yuhua was very pleased. He smiled. "I'm a merchant, after all. It's all about profit. As long as you can afford the price, I'll naturally be able to provide it."
With that said, over a hundred small rectangular boxes suddenly appeared on the table, each about the size of a mahjong tile. They appeared out of nowhere like a magic trick. Xia Fei did not notice Yuhua doing anything, so he had no idea where these things had come from.
"These are all combat suits for speed ability users. Since I'm in a good mood today, you can choose one from here. I'll sell it to you at a discount," Yuhua said very generously.
Xia Fei was taken aback. Taking out over a hundred combat suits for speed ability users at once! This was a huge sum of money! Judging from Yuhua's greediness when accepting gifts, he did not seem to be a particularly generous person. Now that he had taken out so many combat suits for Xia Fei to choose from and even claimed to be offering a discount, Xia Fei felt that something was very wrong.
However, on second thought, this person's cultivation was so high that Xia Fei was far from being his match. If Yuhua had his eyes on something, Xia Fei would not be able to do anything if he tried to snatch it from him. All he could do was take it one step at a time. He did not know if encountering this fellow in insectoid territory was a blessing or a curse.
These mahjong tile sized boxes came in different colors and were all made of metal. There were different markings on them.
Xia Fei had seen something like this in the Alliance before. It was a spatial tool, specifically used to store more valuable items. After all, spatial tools were not cheap in the first place, and the item inside had to be of some value to be used to store something.
The fancy markings or words on the outer casing were the logo of the company or store that produced it. Xia Fei did not recognize any of the boxes Yuhua took out. They did not seem to be produced by the Alliance, which made Xia Fei even more curious about Yuhua.
Picking up a mahjong tile, Xia Fei inserted his consciousness into it. This way, he could know what was inside without even opening it.
'Legendary rank combat suits!' Xia Fei inwardly exclaimed. After touching seven or eight pieces, he found that they were all combat suits for speed ability users, and they were all of the same rank!
"Young friend, these are all Legendary rank, which is perfect for you to use right now. I also have Eternal rank ones, but the ones I brought are different from the ones you usually see. In terms of size and quality, they're much better. For you, Legendary rank is enough. Using one above your rank isn't necessarily a good thing. After all, combat suits need to be tightly fitted to your body, and too much pressure might cause your movements to change." Yuhua smiled.
His eyes were still on Furball, who knew what he was thinking. Alas, Furball was lazily sleeping on the sofa, ignoring him.
Xia Fei nodded and continued to look through the small boxes containing the combat suits. The combat suits included combat boots, gloves, headgear, one-piece suit, and a few other small accessories. They were just the right size to be placed in this spatial tool, which was about one cubic meter in size.
The more he looked, the more shocked Xia Fei became. Yuhua was not lying. These suits could be sold as Eternal rank in the Alliance. The design was rigorous, the workmanship was exquisite, and the materials were professional.
'No wonder he said that Legendary rank is enough for me. It turns out that these things are of a higher rank than the Alliance's standard. Although they're called Legendary rank, they're actually at the Eternal rank,' Xia Fei thought to himself.
After looking through about eighty combat suits, Xia Fei was extremely satisfied with each one. There were so many good things that he was somewhat hesitant.
Suddenly, Xia Fei found a purple suit in the remaining twenty boxes. Of the hundred or so boxes, this was the only one that had a mysterious purple color, and there was an eye carved on it. Moreover, all the boxes Xia Fei had seen before were brand new, but this one was old.
Xia Fei curiously took the box and sent his mental energy into it.
After looking through its contents, Xia Fei was as shocked as a magnitude ten earthquake, though he did not show it on his face.
"Grandmaster Yu, all the suits are excellent. I'll take this one," Xia Fei casually said.
Yuhua was currently looking at Furball out of the corner of his eye, and he casually said, "Alright. What do you plan on exchanging for it, little brother?"
Xia Fei put the purple box into his bosom and took out a decent Purple Heart of Spirit from his spatial ring. He placed it on the table.
"Grandmaster Yu, what do you think of this?"
Yuhua smiled. "Alright. We'll do as little brother says."
The moment he said this, all the boxes containing the combat suits and the Purple Heart of Spirit on the table disappeared. It was even more amazing than a magic trick.
Yuhua stood up and reluctantly looked at Furball as he said, "Let's part ways for today. We'll meet again someday."
Xia Fei was startled. "Grandmaster, you're leaving just like that?"
Yuhua said, "I've already met my old friend, and our deal is complete. What's the point of me staying here?"
Xia Fei smiled. "This junior still wishes to consult you about the Law of Space."
Yuhua heartily laughed. "The Three Great Laws can only be understood and not taught. Young man, whether or not you can comprehend them is entirely up to your luck. If someone tells you that they can teach you the true essence of the Three Great Laws, they'll be lying. Remember this."
After saying that, Yu Hua really walked away.
Xia Fei saw him off the Impaler, and he saw Yuhua striding forward, his feet moving so quickly that it was as if he was riding a Somersault Cloud.
"That person's cultivation is too high. It's truly unimaginable. Even Grandmaster Craneshadow isn't even one-ten-thousandth of his. It's a good thing that he didn't have any ill intentions, or else your life would've ended here today."
Once Yuhua was out of sight, Phantom wiped his sweat and said this.
Xia Fei nodded. "Let's get out of here quickly. I don't want to run into a monster like that again."
Phantom laughed. "Xia Fei, that combat suit just now is probably more than meets the eye. I sensed a clear ripple in your heart."
