Energy Master Duba
Chapter 505: Energy Master Duba
Recently, there had been a strange phenomenon. That short-haired girl would often sneak glances at Xia Fei. Xia Fei had extraordinary senses, so he naturally noticed her.
Xia Fei did not have any friends in the Law Realm. Instead, disdainful looks were everywhere, which was why Xia Fei had a good impression of this kind-hearted girl. It was not that Xia Fei had any improper thoughts, but that smile that was not annoying would often remind him of his days in the Alliance, when he had friends and Avrils by his side.
Honestly, the short-haired girl could not be considered beautiful. She never spoke, merely observing Xia Fei from afar.
Inside his room, Xia Fei held a purified purple Origin Crystal in his hand. He could not forget the wonderful feeling of absorbing the Origin Energy the last time, and he was even somewhat addicted to it.
It was a feeling that was hard to describe with words. Large amounts of energy were leisurely strolling around his seventh brain region, slowly being devoured before being sent to every cell in his body. It was like taking a comfortable hot bath in a hot spring.
Aside from the comfort of his body and the rapid growth of his mental strength, Xia Fei did not even doubt that he could use this energy to punch a hole through a planet, his fighting spirit exploding!
Unfortunately, Law apprentices only had three Origin Crystals every month, which was rather pitifully little. Xia Fei needed to save these wonderful stones for the most crucial moment.
Suppressing his desire to absorb the energy, Xia Fei stored the crystals in his spatial ring and took out the Blood Demon Claw to take a look.
This strange plant was his hope of learning Law, but the Blood Demon Claw did not seem to mind Xia Fei's eagerness at all, as if it was about to enter its eighth cycle.
"I suddenly thought of a question," Xia Fei muttered to himself while stroking his chin.
Phantom came over and asked, "What question?"
"If I send purified Origin Energy into the Blood Demon Claw, will it further accelerate its growth?"
Phantom was slightly taken aback, frowning. "Theoretically speaking, purified energy will be more effective for humans, exotic beasts, and plants. Furball's eyes turned green when he saw the Origin Crystal in your hand, which shows how much he desires to absorb purified energy. It's just that you don't have many purified Origin Crystals in your hand, so every time you use one, you'll have one less."
Xia Fei shook his head. "There are still six tons of raw ores that I haven't used yet. At most, I'll just exchange for them at a ratio of one to ten. As long as I can make the Blood Demon Claw mature as soon as possible and repair my seventh brain region, it's worth it to pay this price."
With that said, Xia Fei took out a purple Origin Crystal and slowly sent its energy into the Blood Demon Claw's container.
Then, a shocking scene occurred!
The Blood Demon Claw crazily absorbed the energy of the sucking. In just a few minutes, the layer of purple mist was completely absorbed, leaving not a single bit behind!
"So fast!" Even Phantom was in disbelief. A grade 2 Origin Crystal contained quite a lot of energy, and the rate at which the Blood Demon Claw was absorbing energy was just too shocking!
"As expected, purified energy is far more suitable for absorption than ordinary energy crystals. If you can get your hands on a large number of Origin Crystals, the Blood Demon Claw's growth rate will surely be greatly accelerated!" Phantom said, his eyes bulging.
Xia Fei consecutively transferred a second and third Origin Crystals to the Blood Demon Claw, and in just half an hour, the Blood Demon Claw had absorbed a total of ten crystals.
Seeing the last two grade 2 Origin Crystals, Xia Fei could not help but smile bitterly. If the Alliance was a society of money, then the Law Realm was a society of energy. Origin Crystals were both currency and vital supplies for warriors. Without crystals, it would be difficult to move a single step forward. This saying was not false at all.
"Should I exchange all the Purple Hearts of Spirit I have on hand for Origin Crystals?" Xia Fei muttered to himself.
The exchange ratio of one to ten was truly a pain in the ass. It was even worse than a scam!
Furball glared at Xia Fei from the side. Giving the precious purified energy to a plant and not to him made him feel very indignant.
* Thump thump thump! *
There was a knock on the door, and Xia Fei opened it to find his instructor, Gu Tong.
"Why didn't you participate in the morning training?" Gu Tong asked the moment he entered.
Xia Fei smiled bitterly. "I can't do the Law training, so I'll just be wasting my time."
He invited Gu Tong to take a seat on the only chair in the room. The robot Dodo brewed a pot of tea, and Xia Fei sat by the bed to accompany him.
"I came to find you today because I have a job, and I'm not sure if you're willing to do it."
Xia Fei smiled. "A job? What kind of job? "
Gu Tong asked, "Do you know Master Duba?"
Xia Fei replied, "I've heard of him. I think he's the only Energy Master in the Yu family, specializing in the Law of Energy Purification. Most of the Origin Crystals everyone uses come from him."
Gu Tong nodded. "That's right. Master Duba has a level 3 cultivation, and all the Origin Crystals in the family below level 3 come from him. Those of higher levels will have to be purchased elsewhere.
"Master Duba has three disciples and a dozen or so helpers, so he doesn't have a lot of manpower. I can see that your control over Origin Energy is pretty good, so I'd like to recommend you to be his helper. You'll be able to earn five level 2 Origin Crystals every month, and your working hours won't be long. You'll head over after your afternoon training session and return in the evening. What do you think?"
Perhaps afraid that Xia Fei would feel that being a helper was too low of a starting point, Gu Tong added, "In the Law Realm, Energy Masters are the most respected profession. After all, every Law Warrior relies on energy stones to provide them with the necessary purified energy. In the Yu family, which has millions of people, the only level 3 Energy Master is Master Duba, which goes to show just how precious and rare Energy Masters are.
"Truth be told, Master Duba has very high requirements for helpers, so I can only recommend you. As for whether or not Master Duba will hire you, that's hard to say."
Actually, Gu Tong was also trying to help Xia Fei find a way out. It was obvious that Xia Fei was a good-for-nothing who could not cultivate Law. If he did not even have a job, he was bound to suffer humiliation in the Yu family in the future.
Gu Tong was not a member of the Yu family, and the reason he had been assigned to manage these foreign Law disciples was because he had been ostracized. Thus, when he saw Xia Fei being ignored and mocked on the streets every day, he could not help but feel pity for him.
Xia Fei nodded and smiled. "Not only will I be able to come into contact with a mysterious Energy Master, but I'll also be able to earn more every month. I don't want to turn down such an opportunity."
Gu Tong stood up. "Alright, then. Come with me."
Xia Fei had Lil Pea take out two catties of Biluochun and give it to Gu Tong. Gu Tong did not stand on ceremony, thanking him before storing it in his spatial ring.
…
Master Duba's manor was far away from the city where Xia Fei lived. It was located at the foot of a hill, and the quaint courtyard was spacious.
Gu Tong led Xia Fei to the courtyard and knocked on the door.
The one who opened the door was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth. Upon seeing Xia Fei and Gu Tong, he impatiently asked, "What's the matter?"
His attitude was very arrogant. Gu Tong bowed and said, "Instructor Gu Tong has something important to discuss with Master Duba."
With that, Gu Tong handed over his waist tag. The youth took it and coldly said, "Just you wait."
* Pa! *
The two doors slammed shut once more, leaving Xia Fei and Gu Tong awkwardly outside.
"What arrogance," Xia Fei muttered to himself.
Gu Tong hurriedly signaled for Xia Fei to keep quiet as he carefully said, "Energy Masters have an extraordinary status. Even the patriarch of the family, Patriarch Yu Jiang, will have to give Master Duba some face if he comes."
Time passed very slowly, and it was a full two hours later before the door opened once more. That youth threw Gu Tong's tag at him and said contemptuously, "Master Duba wants to see you."
Gu Tong nodded repeatedly as he led Xia Fei inside.
Master Duba's courtyard was very large, and right in the middle of it was a stone tablet with a totem on it. Unlike the Law of Space and the Law of Primal Chaos, the lines on this totem were straight and angular. For some reason, Xia Fei felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he saw this totem.
Xia Fei took a few more glances at the totem, and that youth beside him unhappily said, "What are you looking at? Is the profound Law of Energy Purification something a piece of trash like you can comprehend? "
Xia Fei felt very depressed as he secretly memorized this Law totem and followed Gu Tong to the living room.
Right in the middle was an old man, fat and fair. He had a pair of narrowed eyes and a black mole on his chin, with three long whiskers growing on top of it.
"Gu Tong, is this the genius you were talking about?" Master Duba asked in a thin voice. "Just what is so special about him?"
Gu Tong hurriedly bowed and recounted Xia Fei's experience when he first learned how to absorb Origin Energy.
"What? He only took thirty minutes to absorb a grade 2 Origin Crystal the first time?! "Master Duba was shocked.
"That's right. The energy in his body is circulating smoothly as if he has an innate control over Origin Energy. I've been in charge of the apprentice class for seven years, but I've never seen such talent!"
Master Duba's two eyes flashed. With a flip of his palm, he tossed a purple grade 2 Origin Crystal to Xia Fei. "Words are no proof. Show me."
Xia Fei nodded. There was no reason for him to reject a free crystal for him to absorb.
Weighing the crystal in his hand, Xia Fei adjusted his breathing and began to send the energy to his seventh brain region.
With his previous experience, Xia Fei could be said to be very familiar with the process this time. The stability and speed of the energy circulation greatly increased, and in less than five minutes, the purple Origin Crystal in his hand had become transparent, no longer having a shred of energy!
"Wonderful! Truly wonderful! " Master Duba stood up from his chair in joy. His eyes flickered as he pointed at Xia Fei with a trembling finger. "Absorbing a grade 2 Origin Crystal in five minutes! This speed is simply incomparable! Furthermore, the energy circulation is so smooth! He's definitely a genius! What's your name?! "
"Xia Fei."
"Xia Fei! Are you willing to become my, Duba's, disciple? "
Beside him, Gu Tong was also happy for Xia Fei. After all, this was only Xia Fei's second time absorbing Origin Energy. To be able to achieve such a speed was absolutely insane!
Especially his precise control over Origin Energy. Ninety percent of the energy was successfully absorbed by his seventh brain region, which was a significant improvement compared to the first time.
Putting all these factors together, Xia Fei indeed had an extraordinary talent when it came to Origin Energy!
Master Duba's question was very sudden. Xia Fei felt that there was nothing wrong with becoming the disciple of an Energy Master. He could learn some skills and get some extra pay, so he decided to agree.
That was when a cold voice came from outside the door. "Master, aren't you being too impatient? His control over energy is very good, but why don't you take a look at his potential?"
A tall and skinny young man walked in. He was Master Duba's third disciple, Yu Xiaomo.
Yu Xiaomo, who was standing behind Duba, glanced at Xia Fei from the corner of his eye, gloating at his misfortune.
