Muchen

Chapter 360 Four: Selecting the Spiritual Union.

Throwing an Amethyst to the waiter in the shop, Mu Chen pulled Wan Xian'er over to Xu Fei, without saying a word, just 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 the purple dress next to Mu Chen with a bit of interest. It didn't matter what he saw, and he was immediately shocked, because this girl is so beautiful, even Xu who has lived in Fenglan Imperial Capital for a long time Feidu has never seen such a noble and glamorous woman.

Then he turned his head and looked at Mu Chen. He had long, bewitching blue hair that people could remember at a glance. His delicate, fair and well-defined cheeks showed a resolute and tenacious temperament. His behavior was neither humble nor overbearing. In his generation, Xu Fei, as a selector of spiritual masters, has naturally seen all kinds of people, but he doesn't see many people who are as young and restrained as Mu Chen, and Mu Chen is the one he has never met. One of the most special of them all.

Seeing that Muchen was silent, Xu Fei chuckled and said, "Little brother, I never thought we would meet again so soon."

Muchen smiled back, "Yes, it's a coincidence."

Mu Chen's reply was so concise that Xu Fei didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, so he put down the wine glass he was holding, and Xu Fei said helplessly, "Look, my little brother is not a person who likes to be polite, and neither am I. Brother, I also heard from the waiter in the famous store just now that I came here for you, to put it more simply, I have something to ask for."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "When I first came to Shicheng, the first person I met was Big Brother Xu. Big Brother Xu doesn't have to be so cautious. You said you have something to ask, but you don't know what Big Brother Xu is talking about?"

Xu Fei organized his words, and then said, "Just now I watched the whole process of the little brother's stone betting up close, and I would like to ask, do you have the pupil technique, little brother?"

There is no need to hide this, anyway, the fact that he has the pupil technique will be exposed sooner or later, so Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I do have the pupil technique, and I have this pupil technique since I was born."

Here, Mu Chen told a lie. In order to protect his own safety, he must make the matter of the Purple Cloud Demon Eye a little more mysterious. Otherwise, some people would think that he possessed such a special and powerful pupil technique. It is the result of some kind of pupil technique cultivation secret method. If these people make up their minds and want to snatch this secret technique, wouldn't it be impossible for him to jump into the Yellow River to wash it away? Make it a little fanciful.

Xu Fei was startled, and said in amazement, "So, it seems that the little brother is also a person with extraordinary talents, and he has received a lot of blessings from the heavens."

Mu Chen laughed, "Where, 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 should just talk about it."

Xu Fei nodded helplessly, "Then I'll get straight to the point. The little brother must have heard the conversation between me and the mouse when he was selecting the rough stone, right?"

Mu Chen nodded, and Xu Fei continued, "Spirit Selection Conference, I want you to help me represent Shicheng to participate in the soul selection conference held in the imperial capital."

Mu Chen was delighted, this was exactly what he wanted to achieve when he made it clear at the beginning, but now Mu Chen showed a face of entanglement and difficulty.

Seeing this, Xu Fei said eagerly, "Speaking of which, I shouldn't be looking for you, but so many years have passed, and as the representative of Shicheng's spirit selection, the pressure on me is too great. If I can't improve Shicheng's reputation this year, then I will It is estimated that he will be dispatched to the border town."

Mu Chen wondered, "What kind of existence is this spirit selection conference? Why does it feel like a martial artist competition?"

Xu Fei explained, "Little brother, you don't know that each empire has its own special competitions, such as warrior competitions, alchemy competitions, and even speed and strength competitions. These are the competitive strategies to measure the strength of an empire. The Fenglan Empire, which is characterized by gambling stones, naturally has its unique competition system, and this competition system is the soul selection conference. It can be said that the Fenglan Empire's soul selection conference is just like the large-scale warrior competitions of other empires. The effect is exactly the same. If you can get a better ranking in the spirit selection meeting, then your family and the town you are in will be promoted to heaven because of you, and even move to the imperial capital, becoming a respectable family in the imperial capital. Everyone admires it!"

"On the contrary, if the town you are in has not been ranked well, 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, making other towns isolate or even annex you. You know Annexation doesn't just occur between empires, the natural law of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp can appear in any field, even within the field of your own empire."

Muchen said in astonishment, "So there is such a law!"

But this kind of thing seems to have never happened in the Xuanling Empire, but when Mu Chen realized the size of the Xuanling Empire and the level of the empire, it suddenly dawned on him, because the Xuanling Empire is too small, so there is nothing in each town. The idea of ​​annexation, and the Xuanling Empire was already in jeopardy, how could Xuanyin allow this kind of cannibalism to 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. Only when there is a sense of crisis of being annexed all the time, can an empire maintain its bloody and fighting spirit for a long time, but... Shicheng, as the most marginal city of the Fenglan Empire, has not been ranked in the spirit election conference for nine years. Well, this year is the tenth session, if you don’t get the ranking even this session, then what awaits Shicheng will be the punishment of blood and be abandoned and annexed.”

"Although the annexation is nothing more than changing the name of the town and changing the owner of the city, 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 the one who was annexed. You are not worthy to enjoy the same rights as the people of the victors at the feet of the victors. Losing your hometown, losing your identity, this kind of thing is really...unacceptable. So little brother, I, Xu, am here to ask you, can you Help me with this favor, and take part in this spirit selection meeting instead of Shicheng, no matter what the 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 see that what he said was true. After all, a person can't hide the worries of his homeland no matter what. Take Mu Chen In other words, if the Xuanling Empire or Luofeng City were suddenly annexed by other empires one day, and the citizens of his own country became inferior slaves, then Mu Chen would definitely be more miserable than Xu Fei. Participating in the soul selection meeting, Mu Chen didn't bother Xu Fei any more, but nodded and said, "The boy is being rude. I didn't expect Shicheng's situation to have reached this point. I promised Brother Xu that it will be. It’s just that Brother Xu can tell me the rules of this spirit selection meeting in detail?”

When Xu Fei heard that Mu Chen agreed, he was overjoyed at the moment. He laughed and said, "It's not busy. I saw the two busy people just now. They must have traveled a lot. Let's talk while eating." After finishing speaking, Xu Fei immediately turned his head and shouted , "Shop waiter! Hurry up! Serve all your signature dishes on one plate!"

The waiter over there smiled and said, "Okay, my lord, just wait, it will be ready later." After speaking, the waiter quickly ran to the kitchen, probably telling the chef.

I have to say that this Shicheng inn is worthy of being the No. 10 inn in Shicheng. Muchen was a little amazed by the delicacies, there are really everything in the sky, in the ground and in the water.

Xu Fei picked up the chopsticks, opened the door and said sharply, "Since you are not a polite person, then eat it directly. In the process of eating, I will tell you the rules of the spirit selection meeting."

Mu Chen was really hungry, so he picked up some dishes and put them in Wan Xian'er's bowl, and then ate them himself. Why didn't Xu Fei smile from ear to ear, and said while introducing the names of the dishes, "Little brother, why don't you eat?" 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, I feel very awkward, little brother, little brother."

Xu Fei said frankly, "Then I'll call you Brother Mu Chen, and you can just call me Big Brother Xu. Speaking of the Spirit Selection Conference, it's an annual grand event. In fact, if you want to talk about this stone betting activity, It is not unique to our Fenglan Empire family, there will be some such fans in all parts of the continent, but the Fenglan Empire is especially popular."

"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 scope of the stone gambling, which includes the selection of spirit crystals containing spirit crystals from dozens of rough stones within the specified time. raw stones, or choose better-quality spirit crystals, attribute spirit 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 easily misunderstood and have very similar texture densities as competition props. Sometimes what you see is clearly Two identical rough stones, but one has a spirit crystal and the other does not have a spirit crystal. Whether the difference can be correctly judged depends on whether the qualifications of the spiritual master are high. Of course, these are simple levels. How to change, as long as you understand, brother Muchen, as long as your pupil skills are excellent, you can get a good ranking. This time we will eat first, and after eating, I will take you to a place that you must go to before participating in the spirit selection meeting. There, I will tell you some knowledge about gambling stones 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 Conference, you must first become a Spirit Selection Master, and you must also become a Spirit Selection Master in Shicheng, so we will go to the Spirit Selection Conference after eating..."
