Chapter 116 Trade Peak

"You can, but does academy even allow this?" He asked although he wanted to ask her reason too.

Anna's face blossomed with smile hearing that he didn't even ask her reason and directly agreed. She nodded "Yes, the academy doesn't prohibit living with another disciple if he allows you to."

"If that's the case, you can live with me." Max smiled. He wouldn't refuse of course.

...

After Anna had eaten her fill, Max accompanied her to her dorm to take her stuff but he realised that his help wasn't needed as Anna also had a spatial bag. She stored her things and walked out of her room with Max.

Just then a girl came out of the room beside Anna's with a boy. Their faces were red and breathing rough as if they had done some exhausting task. Max looked at them and smiled knowingly. Anna tugged on his arm after seeing them and walked faster.

The girl and boy had noticed them. The boy looked at Anna with a dreamy look. The girl slapped his back seeing this and then said to Anna "Haha Anna, it about time you got yourself a boyfriend. Aren't you going to introduce him to me?" Saying this she glanced at Max and was stunned seeing him and unconsciously mumbled "Too Handsome..." This time the guy slapped her but not on her back but her butt.

Anna had a disgusted look after seeing her staring at Max and almost drooling. She coldly said "You don't need to know him."

She then grabbed his hand and dragged him away. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived in front of Max's dorm room. Anna has calmed down by now and realised that she was still holding his arm. A faint blush crept up her beautiful face before she let go.

Sigh!

When she let go of his hand, she heard him sigh, a disappointed sigh. She looked confusedly at him but he was already walking towards the door to open it.

"Let's go inside." After opening the door, he walked inside, Anna also followed.

She looked around the room and exclaimed "It's bigger than my room. So that's the benefit of being an inner disciple."

Max smiled wryly seeing her act all surprised just because it was two times bigger than her dorm room and thought 'Your room, back in the mansion is a lot bigger and beautiful than this hut.' However he didn't say anything because he had seen her dorm room which was only half of this room and mana was thinner there.

"Okay you rest here, I'm going out for a bit." Max said after seeing that only the small wooden bed enough only for one person.

"Where are you going? You are still new here. Let me go with you." Anna offered.

"It's fine. I'm going to find Neer. You can do whatever you want in the meantime " Max shook his head and walked out, closing the door behind him.

...

Max walked on the streets towards the inner area of the 'town' where core disciples' live. In the western most part of the town was the outer and inner sector disciples' dormitories. Unlike them, core disciples didn't live in the dorm rooms but had small villas of their own. Mana density in these villas was more than five times higher.

However, they weren't allowed to let anyone who wasn't a core disciple to live with them. It was because the academy wanted to entice the rest of the disciples to work hard to become core disciples to enjoy the luxury they enjoyed.

Max arrived in front of a villa where Neer lived. Although it was small compared to other constructs, Max still found it amazing. On earth, only the wealthiest people could afford this type of villa.

Before Max could knock on the door, it opened by itself and Neer came out.

Seeing Max, he was surprised "Young master, you are here."

Max nodded "Are you going somewhere?"

"Yes, young master. I was going to the third peak to b- check the prices of the bed." Neer nodded.

"Okay let's go together. I'm here precisely because of this. Take your mana stones with you. I'll have to borrow yours as mine won't be enough to buy a good bed." Max said. Although he didn't want to use Neer's mana stones, now that Anna was going to live with him, he had to buy a comfortable bed.

"Don't worry young master. I already have them." Neer patted the his spatial bag on his waist with a smile.

After he became a core disciple, he was given one to carry important things with him. "Okay let's go then."

***

The third peak was a dozen miles away from the main peak. To go from one peak to another, the academy had tamed flying hawks. However, this method was costly for even the inner disciples and for outer disciples normally it was impossible because, one way trip from first peak to third peak cost five mana stones. 

They boarded a Two-star brown feathered hawk that could fly with 50 people. After flying a few minutes, they landed on the third peak, commonly known as trade peak.

This was called trade peak because this peak was only used for trade purposes. One can buy and sell anything here. 

Many people from far away cities also comes here to trade. Disciples needed various types of things and they needed mana stones. So the trade in the markets established by the academies was profitable for everyone.

"Mana refining pills, only for two low grade mana stones."

"Grade two magic artefacts at very low price."

"Low grade, peak level spells that'll make your strength grow exponentially. Only for 100 mana stones."

"..."

Just as they landed, many voices selling their products reached their ears. People were selling many types of things. The atmosphere was very lively.

In every street, there were countless stalls and shops established. Many disciples were selling the things they didn't need to earn some stone to buy something else or use them to cultivate.

Neer was looking around in a daze. He hadn't seen so many valuable things in one place before. 

"Do you know where can we buy a bed?" Max patted his shoulder and asked.

He came out of his daze and nodded "Y-Yes. We need to go to the furniture market of the Merchant Association. We can find every type of furniture there."

They then found the furniture market and bought a bed, big enough for two people to sleep comfortably. It was very soft and comfortable but also very expensive. It cost them five hundred mana stones. However, Neer paid it without flinching. 

Max could only sigh at this and decided to return him tenfold. After that Neer bought some pills useful for his cultivation, spending another 200 stones. Then they returned to the main peak. 

...

Knock! Knock!

After arriving at his dorm, he knocked on the door as it was closed from inside.

"Who is it?" Anna's voice came from inside.

"It's me." replied.

Swoosh!

The door opened and Max was greeted by a wonderful scenery. He looked at Anna who only had a towel wrapped around her, her long tempting legs exposed, her golden hair dripping wet, in a daze. 

"Were you taking a bath?" He asked, his gaze refusing to move from her wet body.

"What are you doing standing there? Come inside." Anna shouted in embarrassment after seeing him stare at her. She quickly ran toward the bathroom.
