Chapter 86 Mr. Mao
After drinking two cups of fragrant tea served by the servant, before seeing Mr. Mao, Bai Fei was still sitting there leisurely, without the slightest hint of displeasure.
"Brother Bai, I thought you had forgotten your old friend?"
After less than half an hour, Bai Fei heard his voice before seeing him. He stood up in a hurry and soon saw Mr. Mao arriving in a hurry. In fact, there was no deep friendship between them, and Bai Fei didn't take it seriously when he heard his affectionate address. After twenty years of separation, Mr. Mao has obviously gained a lot of weight.
Bai Fei inadvertently scanned his consciousness and discovered that he was just a glimpse into the peak realm of cultivation. It seemed that he had lived a very comfortable life in the past twenty years, but his cultivation had not improved significantly. In fact, he didn't even think about it. Just a random person like him had endless adventures. Mr. Mao didn't even know how many resources he had used to reach his current state.
"Hello, Mr. Mao, please forgive Bai Fei for not coming to visit you as soon as possible." Bai Fei did not think that the other party's cultivation level was much lower than his own, on the contrary, he respected him.
"Sit down, sit down quickly."
Mr. Mao didn't know that Bai Fei had seen through his own cultivation. For him, he couldn't feel that the other party had used his spiritual consciousness on him. Listening to his tone, he was completely different from those pampered rich kids. He couldn't help but Pay more attention to him. Regarding Bai Fei, he had received a lot of news about him. Although he didn't know what level he had reached, he believed that he would be able to show his prominence temporarily in the Immortal Saint Assembly.
"How is it? Is this tea not bad?" Mr. Mao glanced at Bai Fei and said with a smile.
"Ah?" Bai Fei was stunned. He had never been keen on this, so he couldn't comment on it.
"Speaking of which, this tea comes from your eastern continent. A few years ago, Chu Yan'er from Leyunliuyin came to visit me, and this tea was sent by that girl. By the way, Leyunliuyin is famous in the east. Move the singing and dancing troupe..."
Mr. Mao kept talking, but Bai Fei couldn't say a word. He didn't understand this singing and dancing group, and he wasn't good at speaking. At this time, he was only thinking about whether to take out the gift he had carefully prepared. After thinking for a while, he decided not to take it out at this time. He didn't put the Life Leaves in it. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it, but he didn't want others to know that he had these things. Although there is no life leaf, the gift he prepared is not something that ordinary people can prepare. To Mr. Mao, it may not be worth mentioning, but in the eyes of others, his gift is already extremely precious. He didn't want to take it out at this time because Mr. Mao happened to say that Chu Yan'er came to visit him and gave him tea. If he took it out at this time, he would inevitably lose face, as if he was asking for a gift. Although he didn't care what others thought, he didn't want to be so reckless because of his respect for him.
The two of them talked for two days and two nights. During this period, several groups of people came to visit Mr. Mao, but they were all rejected by him for various reasons, which made Bai Fei very embarrassed.
Through the conversation with Mr. Mao, Bai Fei truly felt that his trip was worthwhile. He already had a comprehensive understanding of the forces in the central region.
The division of forces in the central part of the country is not as complicated as in the eastern continent, but after Mr. Mao said it, it is extremely clear. To put it simply, the entire central region is divided into four up and down, left, right, and vertical, and spreads out in a circle at the center point for millions of miles. This circular area is the power of the Imperial City, and in the four directions, the southeast area It is the sphere of influence of the Murong family, the southwest region is the sphere of influence of the Tang family, the northwest region is the sphere of influence of the Nalan family, and the northeast region is the sphere of influence of the Wanyan family. Previously, Bai Fei and the others landed in the Murong family's sphere of influence and arrived at the Imperial City.
Among the central forces, there may be other small sects, but the only ones that really show off are the One Holy Palace and the Four Families. This Holy Palace is the ruler of the Imperial City. The four families are naturally the Murong family, the Tang family, and the Murong family. family, Nalan family and Wanyan family.
According to Mr. Mao, these four families basically all have the same surname. Very few other surnames can hold real power within their families. However, the Holy Palace is different and does not focus on the surname. The Holy Palace is divided into five palaces: southeast, northwest, and middle, and this middle palace is the real strength gathering place of the Holy Palace. Only those who have survived the fourth inner demon tribulation are qualified to enter it, which shows the horror within. Although the other four palaces have not survived the fourth inner demon tribulation, their strength cannot be underestimated. As for how to divide the various functions, Mr. Mao didn't say, so Bai Fei couldn't ask more. Among the other four families, there are also people who have survived the fourth inner demon tribulation. Thinking about the strength of the Eastern Continent, Bai Fei is really ashamed. It is no wonder that the Eastern Continent has gained nothing in such a grand event for a long time and has been ridiculed.
Mr. Mao's status is rather special. In view of his popularity and reputation in the Imperial City, although his cultivation level is not high, it is naturally impossible to join the Zhonggong, but he can barely have some relationship with the Zhonggong. This is also the reason why so many forces from all walks of life came to visit him before the Immortal Saint Conference was held.
Perhaps someone came who Mr. Mao couldn't turn away, so he asked his granddaughter Cai'er to come and talk to him. Bai Fei felt even more emotional when he saw that despite her age, her cultivation had already reached the early stage of peeping into the sky.
"Brother Bai, I heard that you have many beautiful sisters in your family who are also very capable. Can you introduce them to Cai'er?" After chatting for a while, Cai'er suddenly said.
Bai Fei was shocked when he saw her unintentionally showing the shyness of a young girl. He immediately understood Mr. Mao's intention of asking her to accompany him and was flattered by his kindness. However, this was not his intention during this trip to the imperial capital, not to mention that the beautiful woman at home was gone. How dare you think of such a thing again?
He didn't know what to do for a moment. Seeing that he didn't answer, Cai'er lowered her head and fell silent. Fortunately, Mr. Mao came back soon and broke this embarrassing situation.
"Brother Bai, my granddaughter didn't offend you, did she?" After Cai'er left, Mr. Mao said when he saw that Bai Fei seemed to be feeling sad.
"I don't dare. Cai'er is smart and a rare person. Mr. Mao, Bai Fei has a merciless request..." Bai Fei calmed down. At that moment, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his whole mood was filled with confusion. Relaxed.
"You said it." Mr. Mao smiled.
"Bai Fei has a son who is similar in age to Miss Cai'er. I think..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Mao understood what he meant. Originally, when he introduced Cai'er to Bai Fei, he really intended to make them happy. After these two days and two nights of conversation, he already regarded Bai Fei as a very close person. treat. When Cai'er grows up, he will inevitably be favored by those dandy boys. By then, even if he has a caring heart, he will not be able to control the fate of his family. Since things are irreversible, it is better to make arrangements early. He believes in his own vision. , if this matter can be accomplished, Bai Fei will definitely not let him down.
"this……"
"Mr. Mao, I know I'm the one who overreached..."
"No, Brother Bai, you don't need to belittle yourself. Okay, let's settle the matter." Mr. Mao hesitated for a moment and laughed.
"Thank you, Mr. Mao, for making it happen." Bai Fei said respectfully.
Suddenly, there was this kind of relationship between the two of them, and they suddenly became closer. Although the matter has been decided, the two of them are not in a hurry and let the juniors strive for their own happiness.
"By the way, Xiaofei, I heard that you bought a manor by yourself and didn't live in the place prepared for the conference?"
"Yes, Mr. Mao."
The two looked at each other and smiled, both satisfied with each other's titles.
"If I had known this, you could have stayed with me so that we could have more time to chat..."
"Bai Fei appreciates Mr. Mao's kindness. By the way, Mr. Mao, can you tell me about this Immortal Saint Assembly?"
Night was coming, but the two of them were still in high spirits and chatting.
To Bai Fei's surprise and surprise, Mr. Mao turned out to be one of the leaders of this Immortal Saint Meeting. As of today, all matters related to the Immortal Saint Association have basically been arranged. Mr. Mao naturally knows everything about it. Bai Fei finally asked the right person.
According to him, there are nearly 100,000 people participating in this Immortal Saint Meeting. According to the number of participants in the five continents, they are divided into 20 to 20 branch venues. The first round of big waves will be conducted. The top 500 people from each venue will be selected. Ten thousand people attended the second round. The entire Immortal Saint Meeting will last for half a year. Before the conference is held, the Imperial City Palace will organize relatively balanced groups based on the information in hand and the identification results. The powerful people in the Palace will personally participate in this matter, so no one can escape their eyes.
Bai Fei heard that there were nearly 100,000 people participating in the competition. Although Ouyang Chuchu had said it before when he was in Santong City, now listening to Mr. Mao himself, he thought that there were only 200 places in the Eastern Continent, including He was extremely angry when he saw those people who just came to watch and did not participate in the game. Although he knew that the situation in the East was weak, he never expected that it had fallen to such a low level and had people look down upon it!
The second round of competition was still held in the branch venues. On the basis of eliminating 90% of the people, group battles were held again, and 90% of the people were eliminated again. There were 50 people left in each venue, a total of 1,000 people. Finally, they were transferred to the main venue for the group competition. In the main venue, a total of ten arenas were set up corresponding to ten groups, with 100 people in each group. And among these 1,000 people, it is not safe to say that all of them can participate in the third round of the competition, unless these 1,000 people are all above the Immortal Realm, because in the first two rounds of competition, accidents will inevitably happen, resulting in The powerful immortals were beaten and eliminated. In this way, before the start of the third round, among the remaining 1,000 people, those with the lowest cultivation level will be replaced by those who were unexpectedly defeated in the first two rounds. The so-called Immortal Saint Association, as the name suggests, only when your realm has truly entered the stage of immortality, can you truly be considered qualified to attack the forefront. Of course, if all of these 1,000 people are at least in the Immortal Realm, then the strong ones who were eliminated in the first two rounds can only stare blankly, but looking at all previous conferences, such a situation has never happened.
Starting from the third round, points will be accumulated on a one-on-one basis. Unlike the Wanfa Conference, from this round until the top 50 competition, the Immortal Saint Conference will allow a draw. That is to say, in the third round of group qualifying, hundreds of people compete in pairs. The winner gets three points, the loser gets zero points, and both sides of a draw get one point. Finally, the rankings are based on the total points. After 50 are eliminated, name. The fourth round is another cruel knockout match for the group. According to the points ranking, the first place will play against the 50th place, the second place will play against the 49th place, and so on. The winner will advance and the loser will be directly eliminated. As you can imagine, the third round of points competition is very important.
After the fourth round, the remaining 250 people were reshuffled. From this moment on, the ten arenas in the main venue will be combined into one, becoming a huge arena. All qualified players must participate in the second appraisal. , thus listing detailed rankings for subsequent competitions. Of course, these are still handled by the powerful people in the middle palace, and the contestants have no initiative.
As soon as Mr. Mao said this, a servant came to report that two women had arrived and wanted to see Bai Fei. The two were very surprised and ended the conversation.
After a while, Yun Ling and Yao Jie came in a hurry, and cried loudly when they saw Bai Fei.
Bai Fei's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't ask in detail. He said goodbye to Mr. Mao and took them back immediately.
