Chapter 1,117 Crescent Harbor

Although Xia Fei was very distressed, he still took out a large amount of white beads to replenish the energy consumption of the battleship. Compared with ordinary battleships, the Gintama has a huge advantage, that is, its energy system is simply too advanced!

The origin crystal can be used whether it is refined or not, the white beads can be used, and even the spiritual power stored in Xia Fei's seventh brain domain can still be absorbed by the Gintama.

It's a pity that the diversity of energy cannot cover up the fact of huge consumption. The energy consumption of driving the Gintama to travel across the star sea is at least three hundred times that of a battleship of the same level! This is without forcing the speed, so it can be seen how terrifying the propulsion of this ship is.

"After setting, based on 55% propulsion power, we can reach the predetermined location." Yuan said with a sigh of relief.

Xia Fei turned to Fuchen and asked curiously: "What is the location you gave me? Why is the star map blank?"

Fuchen smiled and said: "Star map? That thing is for ordinary people. How can it be possible to mark many secret locations? The place we are going to is a market, a market where spiritual masters trade. Don't look at me, it's too It’s so remote, I just know there is such a place, but I’ve never been there myself.”

Xia Fei nodded. The star map would indeed not mark those important locations, otherwise there would be no secrets. The really important locations would be remembered by everyone and then passed on by word of mouth.

"The spiritual master's market? This is quite interesting." Xia Fei shrugged his shoulders and said to himself.

…

Crescent Harbor, an inconspicuous aviation fortress in the universe.

After showing his ID, the Gintama was allowed to dock at Crescent Port.

Fuchen's ID was actually a fake. He did not belong to the spiritual masters union or any system related to spiritual masters. Xia Fei could guess the reason without asking.

However, it is not difficult to get a fake ID with Fuchen's status. Xia Fei secretly thought about getting one for himself, so that he could stay in the fortress where all the major spiritual masters gathered in the universe. Very convenient.

As for joining the Healer Guild, it is impossible. Fuchen didn't like his colleagues very much. Xia Fei was currently on good terms with Fuchen. It was not a smart decision to offend Fuchen at this time.

The person who got off the spaceship and guided the way was an intelligent robot, which reminded Xia Fei of Avril Lavigne and Doudou. I don’t know how they are doing now.

Exiting the port is the old town, where the streets are deserted. Occasionally, a few shops were closed, and it seemed that Xia Fei and the others came at the wrong time.

Fuchen pointed at a restaurant and said, "It's not easy to do business here. Every shop needs a spiritual master's guarantee. In fact, the majority of people at spiritual master gathering places are ordinary people. The spiritual masters will only come on fixed days. Come take a walk here.”

"It's not the day of the gathering, so no spiritual master will come, but that doesn't matter. There will always be a few shops open all year round in case of emergency. Isn't it just the Origin Crystal? It's a joke."

Xia Fei nodded and walked further to the square. There is a huge fountain in the middle. The fountain is not turned on, it is covered with moss, and there are many crows drinking water in the middle of the fountain.

This is the central area, where the few open shops are open.

Xia Fei and Fu Chen randomly found a decent-looking store and walked in. The room was a bit dark and there was no one inside. There was a copper bell at the door to summon the owner. Xia Fei was about to touch it when Fu Chen stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Use your spiritual power, so people will know that someone from the industry is here." Fuchen said.

Xia Fei then poured spiritual energy into his palm, and then lightly patted the bell. Unexpectedly, the bell did not ring. It turned out that there was no sound inside at all. If Xia Fei patted it randomly without knowing what was going on, he would definitely make a joke. .

Soon an old man with a gray beard walked out of it. He was very energetic and his eyes were shining. Behind him was this young boy.

"Master, please take a seat." The old man was very polite and moved Xia Fei and Fuchen to the tea table in the middle of the living room, and asked the boy to bring good tea.

"The two masters came from far away, and they look a little unfamiliar." The old man said with a smile.

"Well, I'm passing by here and need some supplies temporarily." Fuchen said calmly, getting ready.

"If you, two masters, need anything, just ask. It's not market opening time now. All the shops on the street are closed, but our little shop doesn't dare to imitate them. We're afraid that people like you will suddenly visit and we won't be here." , it is inevitable to neglect the distinguished guest."

These words were polite enough, and Xia Fei and Fuchen both had a good impression of the old man.

Xia Fei asked casually: "Is business always good?"

When the old man heard this, his face immediately turned ugly, and he sighed: "How can it be okay? It's not like you two don't know. There are fewer and fewer people in the circle. We are in the wilderness again. To be honest, even when the market opens on the 15th of every month, there are not many more people on the street than now.”

"Business is so bad?" Xia Fei asked with a frown.

"Adults are invited to live in prosperous places. I can't blame them. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. I heard from people in the union that the superiors are discussing to withdraw our branch. If Then the little old man will have no choice but to retire early and go home to take care of himself," the old man said with a sad face.

Fuchen smiled slightly and said: "It's good to live quietly for the rest of my life. You can never make enough money in this world. Our ship has no energy. We need some unrefined crystals. If we don't have them, we can use refined ones." Okay, and also take out any good things you have in the store, as well as local delicacies and specialties.”

The old man agreed but looked at Fu Chen in confusion. It was rare for a dignified spiritual master to actually buy some food.

The old man took his assistant back inside to get something. Fuchen took a sip of tea and said to Xia Fei: "This is the current situation of spiritual masters. Their status is getting higher and higher, but the total number of people is decreasing year by year. Now, except for those prosperous stars, In other areas, it is difficult to see traces of spiritual masters.”

After a pause, Fuchen continued: "But let me tell you a secret. Most of these spiritual masters who stay in remote areas are people with secrets. They are either secretly refining Horcruxes in this remote area, or they have offended someone. The big guys don’t dare to go back, especially those who are on the way to refining the Horcrux. It is said that someone is starting to do taboo things again.”

"Taboo things?" Xia Fei asked curiously.

"Black Horcrux..." Fuchen old man said mysteriously.

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper had returned. Xia Fei and Fuchen had no choice but to remain silent.

"These are the best products in the shop. As well as the crystal stones you two want, they are all eighth-level and high-quality products." The old man said with a smile.

"How can this be enough?" Xia Fei curled his lips and said.

There was nothing but a small box in front of him, containing at most fifty eighth-level rough stones. The Gintama's energy would be gone with just one acceleration, and it wouldn't be enough to return to Gard 83.

The old man was suddenly startled. Surprised: "Could it be that you two came in a super carrier!? This is a total of fifty eighth-level crystals."

Xia Fei chuckled and said, "Don't ask too much, my ship consumes a lot of energy. Anyway, take out all the crystals above level seven in your store. I want as many as you can."

The old man left suspiciously, and Fuchen said with a smile: "It's such a big statement, I've made it all right, but you really need to make a careful calculation. Although the Gintama is powerful, the energy consumption is not a small number. It's best to give It finds a stable energy source, otherwise it would be terrible if it suddenly loses power in an emergency.”

Xia Fei nodded and said nothing. This issue was also within Xia Fei's consideration.

The biggest feature of the Gintama is its incredible speed! Even cruising at normal speed requires at least three hundred times the speed of a warship of the same model. Under extreme operation, even if it exceeds ten thousand times, it is ordinary. The energy consumed by such a ship is even more exaggerated than that of a fleet.

The best solution is to use top-level crystals. The ninth-level crystals are colorless and transparent, and their energy is a hundred times that of the black eighth-level crystals. Assuming that Xia Fei can get a batch of such top-level crystals, it may be enough for the Gintama. It takes a while.

Unfortunately, although Origin Crystals are cheap in the Alpha Universe, they do not include the top-level ninth-level crystals. After all, the reserves are too scarce. If you buy them in large quantities, you will not be able to buy them. Even if you buy them, the price will not be affordable by Xia Fei.

As for using spiritual power, Xia Fei was even more reluctant. He still wanted to keep his spiritual power to fight and build Horcruxes.

While thinking about it, Xia Fei and Fuchen looked through the things they brought from the store, including a few Horcruxes, some books used by spiritual masters, positioning equipment used in soul formations, etc.

These things are of a very low level, not to mention Fuchen, even Xia Fei doesn't like them.

The equipment must be of the highest quality. This is Xia Fei's experience accumulated over the years. He would rather spend all his money to buy top-quality goods than make do with defective ones. After all, equipment is a matter of life.

The compass used for positioning had a different temperament, which made Xia Fei feel a little strange and couldn't help but take a second look.

"Did you see it?" Fuchen asked, squinting his eyes slightly.

"It's a little different. Why, does this thing have a secret?" Xia Fei asked curiously.

Fuchen smiled slightly and said proudly: "This thing was once mixed with the black Horcrux, so it has a bit of dark temperament. Sure enough, the spiritual masters in remote areas are not very honest. Maybe this one will have nothing to do with the creation of the black Horcrux." The spiritual master has something to do with it.”

"How about buying it?" When Xia Fei heard about the black Horcrux, he suddenly became energetic and lowered his voice.

"Pediatrics, what do you want him to do?" Fuchen waved his hand disapprovingly. After all, he was well-informed, and Fuchen didn't like this thing at all.

Soon, the old man took out more crystal stones. In fact, there were not many crystal stones. Even the refined ones and the unrefined ones, the total number did not exceed 2,700.

After all, more than 10 million beads were needed to settle the accounts. Fortunately, Xia Fei had the 100 million medical fee given by Ye Yun, so he could still afford it. Of course, nearly 10 million beads were burned by the Gintama along the way. It fell, which made Xia Fei very heartbroken.

After paying the bill, Xia Fei and Fuchen turned to leave.

At this time, the old man suddenly seemed a little panicked, stopped them and asked: "Don't these two masters look down on these things?"

Xia Fei is good at observing words and emotions. He saw disappointment and some anxiety in the old man's eyes?

It’s normal to be disappointed if the deal doesn’t go through, but what’s the reason for being anxious?

"Does he have some ulterior secret?" Xia Fei wondered secretly in his heart.
