After throwing an amethyst crystal to the waiter, Mu Chen pulled Wan Xian'er to Xu Fei. Without saying a word, he sat opposite Xu Fei, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
Xu Fei looked at Mu Chen and the girl in a purple dress next to Mu Chen with a little interest. It didn't matter what he saw. He was immediately shocked because this woman was so beautiful. Even Xu Fei, who had lived in Fenglan Imperial Capital for a long time,
Feidu has never seen such a noble and glamorous woman who has conquered the country.
Then he turned to look at Mu Chen. He had long, enchanting blue hair that made people remember him at just one glance. His delicate, fair, and well-defined cheeks exuded a resolute and tenacious temperament. His behavior was neither humble nor arrogant. At first glance, he was not a casual person.
As a selector of spiritual masters, Xu Fei has naturally seen all kinds of people, but he has not seen many people as young and introverted as Mu Chen, and Mu Chen is the one he has never seen.
The most special one among many.
Seeing that Muchen was silent, Xu Fei chuckled and said, "Little brother, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
Mu Chen smiled back and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."
Mu Chen's reply was so concise that Xu Fei didn't know how to answer it for a moment. He put down the wine glass he was holding and said helplessly, "Look, little brother, I don't like to be polite. I'm not the same. I must be little."
Brother, I just heard the waiter from the famous shop say that I came here for you. To put it simply, I have something to ask for."
Mu Chen smiled warmly and said, "When this kid first came to this stone city, the first person he met was Brother Xu. Brother Xu doesn't need to be so cautious. You said you wanted to ask for something, but I don't know what Brother Xu meant?"
Xu Fei organized his words and then said, "I just watched the whole process of my little brother's stone gambling at close range. I would like to ask, little brother, do you have eye skills?"
There is no need to hide this. Anyway, sooner or later, the fact that he possesses pupil skills will be exposed, so Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I do have pupil skills, and this pupil skill was possessed by me when I was born."
Here, Mu Chen told a lie. In order to protect his own safety, he must tell the story about the Zixiao Demonic Eyes in a more mysterious way. Otherwise, if some people knew that he had such a special and powerful pupil technique, they would definitely think that he had it.
It is the result of a certain secret method of practicing pupil skills. If these people make up their mind to snatch this secret method, then they will not be able to wash it out even if they jump into the Yellow River. Therefore, he will know the existence of Zixiao Demon Pupil in advance.
Make it a bit more fantasy.
Xu Fei was startled and said in astonishment, "So that's it. It seems that my little brother is also a gifted person and has received great blessings from God."
Mu Chen laughed, "No, just because of these eyes, I have to live with my eyes closed every day. Otherwise, I will really be regarded as a monster. Well, Brother Xu, let's just talk about it directly."
Xu Fei nodded helplessly, "Then I'll get straight to the point. I think the little brother must have heard the conversation between me and the mouse when he was selecting the rough stones, right?"
Mu Chen nodded, and Xu Fei continued, "The Soul Selection Conference, what I want you to help me with is to represent Shicheng and participate in this Soul Selection Conference held in the imperial capital."
Mu Chen was happy in his heart. This was exactly what he wanted to achieve by showing off like this, but now Mu Chen showed a look of confusion and difficulty.
Seeing this, Xu Fei said eagerly, "I shouldn't talk to you about this matter, but after so many years, as the soul selection representative of Shicheng, the pressure on me is too great. If I can't improve Shicheng's reputation this year, then I will
He will probably be dispatched to a border town."
Mu Chen wondered, "What kind of existence is this Spirit Selection Conference? Why does it feel like a competition among warriors?"
Xu Fei explained, "Little brother, you don't know something. Every empire has its own special competitions, such as warrior competitions, alchemy competitions, and even speed and strength competitions. These are all competitive strategies to measure the strength of an empire.
The Fenglan Empire, which features stone gambling, naturally has its own unique competition system, and this competition system is the Soul Selection Conference.
. It can be said that the Fenglan Empire’s Soul Selection Conference has the same effect as the large-scale warrior competitions in other empires. If you can get a better ranking in the Soul Selection Conference, then your family, you
The town where you are located will be prosperous because of you, and you may even move to the imperial capital and become a prestigious family in the imperial capital, respected by thousands of people!"
"On the contrary, if your town has not achieved a good ranking, then in the eyes of other empires, your status will naturally decline day by day, and eventually you will even be abandoned by the empire, causing other towns to isolate or even annex you. You must know
Annexation does not only occur between empires. The natural law of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimps will appear in any field, even within the realm of one's own empire."
Mu Chen said in astonishment, "So there is such a law!"
But this kind of thing seems to have never happened in the Xuanling Empire. However, when Mu Chen realized the size of the Xuanling Empire and the level of the empire, he suddenly realized that because the Xuanling Empire was too small, there was nothing in each town.
The concept of annexation, and the Xuanling Empire was already in danger, how could Xuanyin let such cannibalism happen in his own empire.
Xu Fei nodded and said, "This kind of law is even more popular in large empires, and the emperor of the empire also supports the existence of this kind of competition. This is also to prevent the citizens from abandoning their sense of worry in this comfortable life and thus becoming
Being paralyzed and incompetent, only by always having a sense of crisis of being annexed can we make
An empire has maintained its blood and fighting spirit for a long time, but... Shicheng, as a small town on the edge of the Fenglan Empire, has not been ranked in the Spirit Selection Conference for nine years. This year is the tenth. If you don't even win this one,
If it reaches the ranking, what awaits Shicheng will be bloody punishment, being abandoned and annexed."
"Although annexation is just changing the name of the town and changing the city owner, it is undoubtedly a shame for the aborigines of Shicheng, and after the merger, your status will always be different from others, because you are annexed
town, you do not deserve to be at the feet of the victor and the people of the victor
Equal rights. Losing your hometown and losing your identity is really... hard to accept. So little brother, I, Xu, am here to ask you, can you do me a favor and participate in this soul selection meeting on behalf of Shi Cheng, no matter what
Regardless of success or failure, I, Xu Fei, will definitely give you a satisfactory reward."
Xu Fei's words were extremely heavy. From Xu Fei's eyes, Mu Chen could easily find that what he said was true. After all, a person can't hide the worries about his homeland no matter what. Take Mu Chen.
Said, if Xuanling Empire or Luofeng City were suddenly annexed by other empires one day, and the citizens of their own country became inferior slaves, then
He, Mu Chen, would definitely be more miserable than Xu Fei, and besides, he wanted to participate in the spirit selection meeting, so Mu Chen did not try to embarrass Xu Fei anymore, but nodded and said, "You're being rude.
I didn't expect that Shi Cheng's situation has reached this point. I promise Brother Xu, but can Brother Xu tell me the rules of this spirit selection conference in detail?"
Xu Fei was overjoyed when he heard that Muchen had agreed. He laughed and said, "Aren't you busy? Just now I saw that the two of you were so busy that you must have traveled a lot. Let's talk while eating." After saying this, Xu Fei immediately turned around and shouted.
, "Waiter! Quick! Bring all your signature dishes here on a plate!"
The waiter over there smiled happily and said, "Okay, sir, please wait, I'll be there later." After saying that, the waiter quickly ran to the kitchen, probably to inform the chef.
I have to say that this Shicheng Inn deserves to be the No. 1 inn in Shicheng. The service efficiency is really fast. Maybe it’s because no one was eating at this time. The food and wine ordered by Xu Fei were served within ten minutes, and they were rich in variety.
Mu Chen was a little amazed by the delicacies. There was really everything in heaven and underground.
Xu Fei picked up his chopsticks, opened the door and said, "Since you are not polite, let's just eat. While eating, I will tell you the rules of this spirit selection conference."
Mu Chen was really hungry, so he put some vegetables into Wan Xian'er's bowl, and then started eating himself. Xu Fei smiled from ear to ear, and said while introducing the names of the dishes, "Little brother, what's more?"
I don’t know your name.”
Mu Chen took a sip of water and said, "Boy Mu Chen, Brother Xu can just call me Mu Chen. Little brother and little brother feel very awkward."
Xu Fei said cheerfully, "Then I will call you Brother Mu Chen, and you can just call me Brother Xu. Speaking of the soul selection conference, it can be regarded as an annual event. In fact, when it comes to this stone gambling activity,
It is not unique to our Fenglan Empire, there are some such enthusiasts all over the continent, but it is especially popular in the Fenglan Empire."
"As for the rules of the Spirit Selection Conference, they are actually the same as the Stone Gambling, except that some competitive factors are added to the Stone Gambling category, including selecting spiritual crystals from dozens of rough stones within a specified time.
raw stones, or choose better quality spiritual crystals, attribute spiritual crystals, or even some rare casting materials within the specified time.”
"Of course, the level is not as easy as you think. In order to make things difficult for the contestants, some spirit selection masters will choose rough stones that are easy to misunderstand and have very similar texture and density as competition props. Sometimes what you see is clearly
There are two identical rough stones, but one has a spiritual crystal and the other does not. Whether you can correctly judge the difference depends on this choice.
Are the qualifications of the spiritual master advanced? Of course, these are all simple levels. In short, no matter how it changes, as long as you understand, Brother Mu Chen, as long as your eye skills are excellent, you can achieve a good ranking. This time we eat first,
After eating, I will take you to a place that you must go to before attending the spirit selection meeting, where I will tell you some knowledge about stone gambling in more detail."
Mu Chen was stunned and said, "Where must I go?"
Xu Fei smiled and said, "Of course, since you want to participate in the Spirit Selection Convention, you must first become a Spirit Selection Master, and you must also become a Spirit Selection Master in Shicheng, so we have to go to the Spirit Selection Convention after eating..."
