Exchanging for Origin Crystals
Chapter 506: Exchange for Origin Crystals
"How could this be?" Master Duba plopped down on a chair, appearing extremely disappointed. "A genius with precise control over Origin Energy actually had his seventh brain region damaged so severely. Looks like he'll never be able to learn Law in this lifetime."
Gu Tong sighed, looking at Xia Fei with a sympathetic gaze as he shook his head slightly.
Yu Xiaomo sarcastically said, "Master, you were nearly fooled. That man is called Xia Fei, and his reputation as a cripple has long spread throughout the city. I wonder who was the one who took in this fellow who can't learn Law. If you had accepted Xia Fei as your disciple today, I'm afraid you'd be mocked by everyone in the clan."
Duba appeared very angry, hatefully saying, "Gu Tong, oh, Gu Tong! Why didn't you tell me about Xia Fei's damaged brain region? You nearly made this old man the laughingstock of the clan! What genius? He's practically a cripple! "
Gu Tong's body swayed a few times, his face pale as he softly said, "I originally wanted to say —"
"Shut up!" Duba roared. "I don't think you have the qualifications to lead an apprentice class! You actually recommended a cripple to me? You're purely trying to see me make a fool of myself! Tomorrow, I'll personally explain to the patriarch to relieve you of your position! "
Yu Xiaomo fanned the flames. "Master, please calm down first. It's not worth getting angry over these two pieces of trash. These two are purely trying to deceive you. It's a good thing I came back early, or else who knows what would have happened."
Duba was even more enraged when he heard this, pointing at his nose and cursing Gu Tong, threatening to send him to Snake Isle to be a guard.
Duba was a person of great authority, so how could a small fry like Gu Tong compare? He was rendered speechless, lowering his head and not saying a word, allowing Duba to curse eighteen generations of his ancestors.
Xia Fei's face was ashen. This was all because of him. Gu Tong had originally wanted to help him, but in the end, Duba had taken his anger out on him.
"This matter started because of me, and it has nothing to do with Instructor Gu. If there's anything, come at me!" Xia Fei puffed out his chest and stood up.
"A puny Law disciple like you dares to speak to me like this?" Duba was furious. "I think you must have eaten a bear's heart or a leopard's gall! Men, beat him out! "
* Whoosh! *
Du Ba and the other two villains, along with a dozen or so helpers, surrounded them. They rolled up their sleeves and were about to attack.
Xia Fei was completely unfazed, the killing intent in his chest surging once more.
"Xia Fei! Don't be rude! "
Gu Tong hurriedly stopped Xia Fei. He single-handedly grabbed Xia Fei's shoulder, using his Law force to forcibly restrain Xia Fei, who was on the verge of going berserk.
"This time, it was Gu Tong who was impolite. I will come and apologize another day." Gu Tong bowed and said.
Without giving Xia Fei a chance to argue, Gu Tong used his Law power to trap Xia Fei, forcefully taking him away from Duba's residence.
…
An hour later, in the apricot forest outside the city.
Xia Fei chewed on a blade of grass as he looked up at the artificial sun in the sky.
"Have you really thought it through?" Gu Tong asked in a low voice.
"It's true."
"You won't look for trouble with Master Duba anymore?"
"At least not now."
Gu Tong was speechless. Xia Fei was obviously still holding back his anger. Given how crazy he was, there was no telling if he would run back to Duba's residence the moment Gu Tong let him go. Thus, though Xia Fei had verbally promised not to provoke Duba again, Gu Tong had no intention of letting him go.
"You must understand that in the Law Realm, there is a clear hierarchy. Even the tiniest difference in rank is enough to crush someone to death. There are no laws in the Alliance here; the words of the strong are the law!
"Master Duba is the only level 3 Energy Master in the Yu family, and his status is extremely high. If you really dare to touch him, not only will you die, even I will be implicated."
Xia Fei laughed. "You've already been implicated."
Gu Tong sighed. "Actually, I can't blame Master Duba for getting angry. I can only blame myself for not telling him the truth."
"It's not your fault," Xia Fei very calmly said. "I can only blame my seventh brain region for being severely damaged, turning me into a cripple."
Standing up, Xia Fei patted the dust off his body. "Sir Instructor, please don't use your Law to seal me anymore. I've really thought it through. Now, I'm going to look for a place to exchange for Origin Crystals. I hope you can lead the way."
"You've really thought it through?"
"Even if I haven't, you can't just seal me like this forever, can you?"
"This …"
Gu Tong was silent for a few moments, but he still released his control over Xia Fei. It was true that he could not lock Xia Fei up forever.
"Let's go."
"Where to?"
"Take me to exchange for Origin Crystals."
"Do you have any Origin Crystals to exchange for?" Gu Tong was puzzled.
"I have some."
"How much?"
"Not much, just a few tons."
"A few tons?!"
…
Xia Fei and Gu Tong made their way back to the city from the apricot forest. Xia Fei's expression did not change, but his heart was already in turmoil.
'If I don't get my revenge, I'm not a man!' Xia Fei was resolute in his heart.
Gu Tong followed behind Xia Fei and said, "The Exchange Office in the city is under Master Duba's control, and the ratio isn't very good. If you're not in a hurry, you can give the ores to the brothers on missions. The other places can exchange for Origin Crystals at a ratio of nine to one, or even eight to one. It's much more cost-effective."
Xia Fei shook his head. "There's no need. I don't have time to wait."
"Why are you in such a hurry to get so many Origin Crystals? And now you're — "
Gu Tong originally wanted to say that Xia Fei had no way of cultivating Law, so he had no use for Origin Crystals, but when he saw the determined look in Xia Fei's eyes, he swallowed his words.
The Exchange Office was right next to the fountain in the center of the city. This city was where low-rank warriors resided, and it was far from being prosperous. Dozens of shops of all sizes were squeezed in the center of the city, and this was the business district.
The sign for Origin Crystals exchange was very eye-catching, and with three shops side by side, it was already considered a very large business on the street.
It was already evening, and the tavern's business was slowly starting to pick up, while these shops were already preparing to close for the day.
"Instructor Gu!"
The owner of the shop, Haoping, was short and well-built, and he enthusiastically greeted Gu Tong the moment he saw him.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, Haoping asked Xia Fei, "This young man wishes to exchange for Origin Crystals? No problem. Please follow me. "
There was a row of glass cases in the shop, and inside were Origin Crystals after Origin Crystals. Most of them were purple, and there were only four or five white grade 3 Origin Crystals, which were placed in the most eye-catching spots.
"I wish to exchange for grade 3 Origin Crystals," Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Haoping and Gu Tong were both stunned. The people who lived here were all low-rank Law Warriors, and very few of them would ask for the expensive white Origin Crystals. The most commonly used ones were grade 2, and even some of the poorer warriors would buy red elementary Origin Crystals. Xia Fei asking for grade 3 Origin Crystals right off the bat shocked the two of them.
"Heh, if you're exchanging ores, the exchange rate is ten to one," Haoping said with a smile.
Phantom originally wanted to dissuade Xia Fei. It was not worth exchanging for purified grade 3 Origin Crystals with his current assets, but Xia Fei had already made up his mind, ignoring Phantom's advice. No matter what, he had to let the Blood Demon Claw mature as soon as possible. He could not wait any longer!
The cruel reality was forcing Xia Fei to have strength, and he needed great strength!
"I don't have any white ores, but I have some purple ones."
With that said, Xia Fei lightly swiped his finger across his spatial ring and took out a box containing Purple Hearts of Spirit, placing it on the ground.
Haoping opened the box and saw that it was filled to the brim with Purple Hearts of Spirit!
"This is a ton of grade 2 Origin Crystals, no more, no less," Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Gu Tong was shocked. Each purified grade 2 Origin Crystal weighed one kilogram, so a ton of ores could be exchanged for a hundred purified grade 2 Origin Crystals.
It must be mentioned that Haoping, as a level 4 Law Warrior, only had a monthly salary of fourteen grade 2 Origin Crystals. Xia Fei's box of ores was more than half a year's salary!
Haoping chuckled. "The exchange rate for grade 2 Origin Crystals is one to one. These are ores, so you'll need a thousand to one exchange rate. A ton of ores can only be exchanged for one purified grade 3 Origin Crystal. You'll have to consider this carefully."
Xia Fei nodded and took out three identical boxes from his spatial ring, as well as the white grade 3 Origin Crystal.
"I want to exchange for three purified grade 3 Origin Crystals and the rest for grade 2."
Gu Tong patted Xia Fei on the shoulder from behind. "I didn't think you'd have so much stock. This many ores is enough for me to earn five years of my salary."
Haoping's attitude toward Xia Fei became a lot better. Crystal exchange was a very lucrative profession in the Law Realm. An Energy Master's ratio of purified crystals was three to one, which meant that they actually only needed three ores to refine one Origin Crystal.
Energy Masters sold their purified crystals to shops at a ratio of eight to one, which was why Energy Masters were the wealthiest group of people in the Law Realm. They could just sit there and exchange a few ores for a large sum of money to flow into their pockets.
Haoping would be able to earn quite a bit from this large batch of Origin Crystals, and his gaze toward Xia Fei became even more fervent.
Hastily ordering a waiter to serve tea, Haoping took the white ores and measured them on a machine before saying, "This grade 3 Origin Crystal can be exchanged for ten purified grade 2 Origin Crystals, but it's already been used and only has forty percent of its energy left, so I can only exchange for four.
"This is our first time working together, so for the sake of good luck, I'll give you three grade 3 Origin Crystals and a hundred and ten grade 2 Origin Crystals. What do you think?" Haoping's beady eyes darted around as he muttered to himself, "I'm only doing this out of respect for Instructor Gu. There's no way I'll give such a preferential treatment to anyone else."
Xia Fei nodded. "No problem. Deal."
…
Back at the dormitory, Pod had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Xia Fei. He had tidied up the small room, and he had even filled in the gaps in the roof.
"Here!"
Xia Fei took out a grade 2 Origin Crystal from his spatial ring and tossed it to Furball. Furball had been sleeping soundly, but the moment he saw that there was a purified crystal to eat, his eyes immediately turned green. He pounced on it and gobbled it up in a few bites, snuggling up to Xia Fei and constantly trying to please him.
Dinner was Xia Fei's favorite fried paste noodles. Wiping his mouth after eating, Xia Fei took out the Blood Demon Claw and placed it on the table.
The deep red color was slowly turning green. This was already its eighth cycle.
* Clap clap clap! *
Xia Fei placed the three white Origin Crystals on the table side by side, just like a gambler throwing money away in a casino. Xia Fei was planning on making a big gamble tonight!
He was betting that the purified Origin Energy would allow the Blood Demon Claw to bloom overnight!
