Buying Lives at Stormy House
He had to go through a spatial gate from the White Horse Constellation, which was the headquarters of the human race, to the Yanta Constellation of the Sunnis. Though the spatial compass could send him there, it was illegal to enter another race's territory without permission, so Xia Fei did not plan to get into trouble with it. Going through the public passageway was the same.
Lang Shunye escorted Xia Fei to the spatial gate at the center of the city, only to see that there was already a long queue. Compared to the past, this was already a very small number of people. After all, the human race had been defeated in the Dragon Ascension Conclave, and many of the large races felt humiliated, so they might as well not go to the Wild Goose Constellation.
Dozens of Doors of Time and Space stood erect, all of them identical in style, continuously sending people to their respective destinations. Other than a few doors that were marked as leading to other places, the rest were all direct passageways to Wild Goose Tower.
"Alright, I'll leave you here. Be careful when you get there. The Sunnis are still feeling smug after the fight," Lang Shunye said.
Xia Fei was a new member of the White Horse Constellation, and Lang Shunye always felt that it was his duty to run errands for Xia Fei, leading him to the right path, which was a testament to his forthright personality.
The Wild Goose Constellation was the headquarters of the Sunnis, one of the World Deities of the Law. This constellation had different shapes when viewed from different angles. At times, it looked like a pointed tower, and at other times, it looked like a flock of geese flying past.
Xia Fei was dumbfounded the moment he passed through the spatial gate. There were so many people in front of him that he could not even count them. There were also many strange intelligent lifeforms that Xia Fei had never seen before.
As for the landlords, the Sunnis were not much different from the human race except for two differences. First, their heads were oval, slender, and round. Second, their ears were like two spring rolls stuck in their heads. Other than that, their eyes and noses were no different from humans.
A group of Suni warriors impatiently urged the guests to move forward. Everyone took out their invitations or the entry permits they had applied for at the office for the warriors to examine.
The invitations were, of course, for the rich and powerful families, while the entry order was a bit like a visa and could only be issued with the consent of the Sunnis. In addition, it was against the rules to use a compass to enter without a permit.
Xia Fei did not have an invitation or an entry token, so he could only take out his Demonwing Token. Who knew that the moment this token appeared, someone with sharp eyes shouted, "Look! Demon Wings Order! The Heavenly Wings Clan is here! "
Whoosh ~
Something embarrassing happened. The crowd suddenly opened up a path for Xia Fei. Everyone looked at him as if he was a demon. Even the Sunni warriors who were in charge of the inspection had a change of expression on their faces.
Xia Fei felt very helpless. The people of the world had far too many misunderstandings about the Skywing Clan, especially after he had defeated Xiang Yue. The commoners had made it sound like a miracle, and all sorts of rumors were spreading all over the streets.
Xia Fei could not be bothered to explain anything to them, swaggering through the checkpoint. A fat Sunni man with a big smile on his face seemed to want to stop him, but Xia Fei's Crafty Approach made it seem like he was taking a stroll through the crowd, and he disappeared without a trace in just a few moments. The fat man was sweating profusely, yet he was still unable to keep up with Xia Fei.
Speaking of which, Crafty Approach was the best way to get around in such a bustling environment. Xia Fei did not seem to be walking very fast, but the speed at which he disappeared left everyone in the dust.
For the sake of this grand trade, the Sunnis had specially opened up a path. No matter which race the guests were from, as long as they followed the directions, they would be able to quickly find the venue.
Of course, different statuses also meant different treatments. The VIPs would be escorted by someone, while the commoners would have to walk or pay a high price to hire a hovercar.
To Xia Fei, this ten-some kilometer distance was nothing more than a pastime after a meal. Gradually, there were some transactions going on all around. Some people could not wait to reach the main venue and directly set up their wares on both sides of the path. Xia Fei casually glanced at them, but he did not find anything of value, so he did not pay much attention to them.
The deeper he went into the trade fair, the livelier it became. The old demon lord excitedly said, "Heh, the God Race's trade fair isn't bad either. It looks like the two peak races are the same, having free transactions every once in a while. It's a pity that the two races rarely do business with each other, and their specialties all have to go through the black market, so the prices are much higher for no reason."
The items were dazzling, and there were many people. Xia Fei used a bit of the Beast Spirit Codex ocular technique on his eyes to improve his eyesight, so that he could distinguish between good and bad items without even getting close. Of course, the main reason he was doing this was to find old man Woode's precious daughter, Allen. After all, the person behind Allen might have grasped the Law of Time, and this Law was what Xia Fei was most interested in.
Xia Fei memorized the list Huo Yutong had given him, and the moment he came across suitable materials, he would purchase them. In truth, the cost of constructing the Advanced Celestial Zerohammer was not too high for Xia Fei. Xia Fei still had quite a bit of savings in his bank account, enough to cover the cost.
More importantly, the nine Crimson Gold Flying Cicada Chrysalises were each worth ten thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals, and that was the price of a very long time ago. Who knew how much higher they were now?
In one morning, Xia Fei bought the materials he needed to construct the Celestial Zerohammer and sold some items that were useless to him, but Allen and the two mysterious men still did not show themselves.
The trade fair would last for an entire week, so Xia Fei was not in a hurry.
"Mm, today's harvest is pretty good. I'm only missing two things: Swan Cold Silver and Crimson Gold Flying Cicada Chrysalises." Oro inspected Xia Fei's harvest and sternly said, "Swan Cold Silver should be used to fix the interface for the Celestial Zerohammer. It won't be hard to get some if I walk around in the afternoon. The most troublesome thing is the Crimson Gold Flying Cicada Chrysalises. I didn't see a single one."
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and sat down under a tree to rest before continuing his shopping spree.
There were many people, many shops, and many stalls. Even with Xia Fei's fast movement speed, he was not able to walk around the entire trade fair.
Thus, Xia Fei changed his train of thought and began to stroll around.
Oro curiously asked, "You're moving so slowly. How long will it take for you to walk around the entire trade fair?"
Xia Fei smiled and calmly replied, "The trade fair is so big, so I can't go around without a goal. Look, those two in front of us have keen eyes, which shows how high their cultivation is. One of them is even wearing the armor of the Fig Corporation, which shows that he's at least a direct descendant of some great clan.
"I've been watching the two of them for a long time. They didn't even glance at the stalls on the side of the road. They're so arrogant, which means that their eyesight isn't ordinary. They don't even pause as they walk, which also means that they're very familiar with the trade fair. I can't go wrong following them."
Xia Fei's strategy was very simple, and that was to follow the connoisseurs. The places that the connoisseurs went to would definitely not be bad, or else it would not be a good idea to wander aimlessly in such a huge trade fair. However, trying to distinguish who was the true connoisseur among the sea of people was quite a test of one's eyesight.
The two in front of him were clearly not human, and that was evident from the half tumor on their heads. Xia Fei made up his mind to follow them, and the two turned left and right as they led Xia Fei to a shop.
The shop called Storm Pavilion was deserted. Out of the countless shops in the row, this shop had the least amount of customers. At this moment, two angry warriors walked out of the shop while cursing, "What the hell is this?! It's a scam! You dare to charge a million grade 4 Origin Crystals for a broken tri-point knife?! Has the owner of this shop lost his mind?! Even an idiot wouldn't buy it! "
The two men with tumors on their heads smiled at each other, the corners of their mouths curving up. Without another word, they entered the shop.
Something was definitely wrong. Xia Fei followed them into Storm Manor. He wanted to see just how shady this shop was!
Four storefronts had been opened, and there was only an elderly manservant inside. He had an indifferent and unruly look on his face, and the Hundred Treasures section was filled with all sorts of things, all of which were marked with prices.
Taking a look, Xia Fei realized that a million Origin Crystals was only the starting price of this shop! Even the price of tens of millions of Origin Crystals was not rare!
Looking at the things on display, they were all substandard and fake goods. Forget millions of Origin Crystals, no one would pick them up even if they were thrown on the street. If this shop really only sold these things, then it was not just a scam, but a super scam!
Frowning, Xia Fei was even more puzzled. It was no wonder this shop was so sparsely populated. Given the prices and the quality, even an idiot would not patronize this shop.
There were curtains on the left and right sides of the shop, so the two experts did not stay outside at all. They lifted the curtain on the left and entered, appearing to be very familiar with the place. Just as Xia Fei was about to do the same, he was stopped by the manservant.
"What are you doing? Can't you see what's written here? " The manservant came in front of Xia Fei with a rude look and used the half of a ponytail in his hand to knock on a sign on the wall. "Only for members! Unauthorized persons not allowed! Can you read? "
Xia Fei had a belly full of anger. He knew that there was something strange going on, but he could not do anything about it. All he could do was coldly ask, "How can I become a member of your shop?"
The manservant rolled his eyes at Xia Fei and said casually, "Just buy something from the outside. If you can't afford it, then do it early —"
* Slap! *
Before he could finish his sentence, Xia Fei suddenly grabbed his entire body. He still wanted to struggle, but the moment he saw the murderous look in Xia Fei's eyes, he immediately lost all his strength. Xia Fei, who had killed countless people, was not someone this small fry could withstand when he was angry. He could only feel his legs go weak, and he could not help but tremble.
"You don't say. There's really something that I like, and I want to buy it," Xia Fei said coldly.
"Dear customer, what do you want to buy? This lowly one will follow you to get it, alright?" The manservant knew that he had provoked a tough person, so he quickly changed his words.
"I want to buy your life!" Xia Fei said this word word by word, scaring the manservant so much that his face turned pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
At this time, another person came out from the back of the shop. He was not old, but he had a sinister look in his eyes and a wretched smile. From his appearance, he seemed to be the shopkeeper or owner of this shop.
"Buy my life? Alright, as long as you dare to buy it, I dare to sell it! Ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals. This brat — "
* Whoosh! *
Without waiting for him to finish, Xia Fei raised his knife and directly cut the manservant in half! Blood splattered everywhere!
