Chapter 733: The Tragedy of Honest Xia
Honest Xia's sudden arrival broke the peace of Wind Garden.
Standing in the back garden, Honest Xia was in a rage, yelling for Xia Fei to come out. He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his silver hair standing on end!
Several minutes ago, right after Xia Fei left the Towering Wind Pavilion, Honest Xia suddenly received an energy exhaustion alert. Shaking his head, Honest Xia muttered to himself, "Looks like there's something wrong with the equipment. The energy replenishment system is connected to the largest reserve in the Towering Wind Pavilion. The last time we checked, there were still 14,700 grade 5 Origin Crystals, enough for the Towering Wind Pavilion to use for several years. What kind of alarm is this?"
As he walked past the front yard, those children training in the Towering Wind Pavilion poked their heads out and said, "Grandpa Honest! The energy indicator in the training room is red! "
It was not just the lodging; the cultivation rooms in the Towering Wind Pavilion also needed energy. This system could be said to be maintaining the operation of the entire Towering Wind Pavilion.
The children's words suddenly gave Honest Xia a bad feeling. He hurried to the control room and was dumbfounded when he saw what was inside!
The storage room that specialized in collecting used Origin Crystals was filled with transparent crystals — no, piles and piles of them!
Out of the 14,700 grade 5 Origin Crystals, only one was left, and it was all alone in the backup energy device!
Xia Fei had actually used up all the reserves in the Towering Wind Pavilion, leaving behind only a sliver of energy! He had barely left when the Towering Wind Pavilion stopped operating due to the energy exhaustion, and all the equipment was paralyzed!
Honest Xia rubbed his eyes and pinched his thigh. The pain quickly spread, and only then did Honest Xia realize that he was not dreaming. He had really been tricked by Xia Fei!
That was 14,700 grade 5 Origin Crystals!
No matter how famous the Skywings were, their energy supply was limited. After all, high-grade goods like grade 5 Origin Crystals could only be produced by Energy Masters.
Xia Laoshi was usually extremely stingy, and he had only managed to save up this batch of high-grade Origin Crystals after so many years of hard work. If not for the Old Ancestor's order to give Xia Fei the purest energy, Xia Laoshi would have at most taken out a grade 4 Origin Crystal.
Now, however, all the high-grade Origin Crystals he had accumulated his entire life had been used up by Xia Fei!
This was a grade 5 Origin Crystal! White Horse Constellation could use the purest energy! It was far from being comparable to a level 4 Jingshi!
Nominally, one hundred level four Origin Crystals could be exchanged for one level five Origin Crystal, but that was just the nominal price. Even within the family, it was one to two hundred, and on the black market, it was as high as one to five hundred! One to a thousand!
In other words, the 1.7 million grade 4 Origin Crystals that Honest Xia had received from Xia Fei was a loss, and it was a huge loss!
Xia Honest was so angry that his face contorted. He hurriedly ran to Wind Garden to denounce Xia Fei. As an unscrupulous businessman, anyone who saw Xia Honest would be skinned alive by him, yet Xia Fei had not only failed to let Xia Honest earn a single cent, he had even cleared out his capital! He would have to pay a large sum of money! How could Honest Xia ever get over this!
…
Everyone was already afraid of Honest Xia. Now that he had charged into the Wind Garden with an ashen face and a malevolent expression, everyone was dumbfounded!
Whoosh ~
The Law Emperors were like mice seeing a cat upon seeing Honest Xia, all of them hiding. Only when they heard that Honest Xia was not looking for trouble with them did they gather their courage to watch from the sidelines.
"Xia Fei! Get out here! "
"You're too damn ruthless! You actually emptied out the energy reserves of my Towering Wind Pavilion! "
"I've truly been unlucky for eight lifetimes! To think that I would run into you! "
"Get out here! You'll have to compensate me for my losses! "
Honest Xia stood in the courtyard and yelled, stomping his feet in anger. He kept pulling at his silver hair, almost going crazy!
In truth, the most painful thing for Honest Xia was not the consumption of his Origin Crystals but that he had been ripped off by Xia Fei!
Honest Xia, who had always considered himself an unscrupulous businessman, had never suffered a loss in his business before, but the first time he met Xia Fei, he had suffered a huge loss. This was what angered him the most.
In the study, when Xia Buyun and Summer saw that it was Honest Xia, they both panicked. Just like everyone else, these two had been exploited by Honest Xia and owed a huge debt. The moment they saw Honest Xia, they felt their hair stand on end.
"What's going on? Just what did you do to provoke him?" Xia Buyun asked with a frown.
Xia Fei could already tell from Honest Xia's howls that he had accidentally emptied the old man's energy reserves.
Shrugging, Xia Fei took out Furball and Peacock Blue. These two had become rich after not seeing each other for a month! Furball's belly was bulging like a man who had eaten his fill, and Peacock Blue was also thicker than before. Not only had it offset the damage from the battle, it had also improved!
"How would I know? There was so much Origin Energy in the room, so Furball, Peacock Blue, and I ate to our hearts' content. "Xia Fei shook his head and said.
Xia Buyun and Summer's faces darkened. The facts were very clear. Xia Fei and his two accomplices had spent a month eating and drinking, emptying the Towering Wind Pavilion!
Fourteen thousand seven hundred grade 5 Origin Crystals had been consumed in a single month! This sort of absorption speed was practically heaven-defying!
It was no wonder Xia Fei had been able to max out his speed ability in such a short time, making Furball and Peacock Blue fat. It turned out that their frenzied absorption had wiped out the entire Towering Wind Pavilion's energy reserves!
…
Honest Xia still left, his head drooping, turning his head three times with every step, glaring at Xia Fei.
In truth, this unprofitable transaction had little to do with Xia Fei. It was entirely due to Honest Xia's own negligence. He had believed that Xia Fei did not have such a big appetite, so he had carelessly turned on the automatic energy circulation system. In the end, this circulation had emptied out the Towering Wind Pavilion.
Faced with doubts, Xia Fei naturally had to fight for what was right, refusing to compensate Honest Xia's losses no matter what. One million and seven hundred thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals had already made Xia Fei's heart ache, and there was no way he could make up for it after paying the bill!
Xia Buyun came to mediate, but Honest Xia shouted, "Pay me back!" Before forcefully swallowing his words. There were so many Law Emperors and Law Emperors in the Wind Garden, but none of them dared to interrupt. This showed just how rude and unreasonable Honest Xia usually was.
Others might be afraid of him, but not Xia Fei. He unhurriedly argued with this old, unscrupulous merchant, and as the smoke dispersed, the Law Emperors secretly gave him a thumbs up. After all, Xia Fei was the only one of the Xia family's elites who did not fear Honest Xia, and he was also the only one who did not owe him money. Not only did he not owe him money, but he had also nearly bankrupted him!
After watching Honest Xia leave, the Law Emperors hurriedly surrounded Xia Fei.
"You're really something! You actually made Honest Xia suffer such a huge loss! "
"That's right! You took the unicorn demon armor and emptied the Towering Wind Pavilion's energy reserves. This time, Honest Xia suffered a huge loss!"
"How satisfying! How satisfying! To think that even Honest Xia would have such a day! "
Xia Zonghai looked at Xia Fei with tears in his eyes as he excitedly said, "Don't say anything else! I'll treat you to a drink tonight! To celebrate this great victory! "
"I'll also treat you to a drink! You don't know this, but us brothers have all been exploited by Honest Xia! His name is Honest, but in truth, he's not honest at all. Even our patriarch is being chased by him every day! "
"Cough, cough!" Xia Buyun deliberately coughed a few times with a dark expression. "All of you can talk, but why did you have to drag me into this? Well, since the final battle is tomorrow, let's drink a few cups tonight! However, no one is allowed to drink too much! "
Everyone was secretly laughing, and Xia Buyun was already itching with hatred. Alas, he was the patriarch, and he had no choice but to pay his debts. He could not take it out on Honest Xia, so he could only endure Honest Xia's endless harassment.
Xia Fei had taught Honest Xia a harsh lesson, using facts to tell him that every business had its risks. Although Xia Buyun's expression was cold, he was inwardly overjoyed to see the most unscrupulous merchant of the Skywing Clan suffer.
"Just now, I personally contacted the patriarch, and only then did Honest Xia let you go. In the future, you'd better be careful. Honest Xia isn't an honest man," Xia Buyun said as he called Xia Fei to the side.
…
Xia Fei was not in the mood to celebrate Honest Xia's suffering. This was because this old unscrupulous merchant's suggestion of an all-rounder master was very attractive to Xia Fei, and it would not be good to accidentally become enemies with him.
Following Master Xia Fifth, Xia Fei arrived at Heaven's Wings' internal storeroom, which was located deep in the back of the residence.
This was where the clan's daily necessities, weapons, and medicinal ingredients were stored. Xia Buyun had Xia Fei come over and see if there was anything he needed, and he could take it.
Xia Fei did not have many requirements for the quality of life, so he picked out some bedsheets, tables, chairs, and other miscellaneous items and had Master Xia deliver them to his room. Now that he had joined Heaven's Wings, Xia Fei had a room of his own in Wind Gardens, and he might even have to stay there for a long time in the future. Furthermore, Xia Fei was still considering whether or not he should bring Avrils over, but this was all for later, and he would have to wait until after the final battle tomorrow.
Standing in front of the huge medicinal ingredient storeroom, Xia Fei paused as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"If there's anything you need, feel free to take it. The patriarch has ordered that everything in the internal storeroom is open to you," Master Xia Fifth said with a smile.
Xia Fei shook his head, his eyes suddenly turning serious as he said in a deep voice, "Master Xia, do I want to stay here?"
Master Xia Fifth was slightly taken aback, asking in confusion, "You mean in the medicinal storeroom?"
"That's right."
"They're still waiting for you outside for dinner. Why don't you come back after dinner? These medicinal herbs don't have legs, so they won't be able to run away. "
Xia Fei said, "Tomorrow is the big battle. Though the patriarch and Xia Tian aren't counting on me to do much, I still need to be prepared. If I really do run into Xiangwu Cheng, it'll be a fight to the death!"
Xia Fei's expression was solemn. "Don't be fooled by how confident everyone in the clan looks. Actually, everyone is just burying their worries in their hearts. I can tell that everyone is actually very concerned about what will happen tomorrow."
Master Xia Fifth, who was also old man Gu Li, let out a bitter laugh. "You're very observant. Everyone is indeed afraid that you'll run into Xiangwu Cheng. The reason why no one has mentioned it is because of the patriarch's strict orders. After all, you've only just returned to Heaven's Wings, and everyone doesn't want to put too much pressure on you."
Xia Fei nodded. "I understand. The more it's like this, the more I need to be fully prepared. Old man, go ahead and do what you need to do. I suddenly thought of something that I need to do right now."
Master Xia Fifth nodded and turned to leave. The old demon lord curiously asked, "You want to refine medicine here?"
"That's right." Xia Fei's expression was solemn. "It's a medicine called Fear Boiling Point. We happen to have Mulberry Orchid, Bitter Cocoon, and Demon Eater Grass here. Together with the ones I usually collect, I can make a complete set."
