For Fei Minmin's invitation, Mu Feng did not refuse.
At present, if he wanted to find a spiritual energy medium, he could only rely on the help of someone like Fei Haiping, a big shot.
When Fei Minmin saw Mu Feng agree, she was extremely excited. She hurriedly called Fei Haiping and hearing that her daughter had met Mu Feng, Fei Haiping was also inexplicably excited.
Getting acquainted with a Transcendent Realm powerhouse was not a simple matter.
For a while, the entire Haiwang City became bustling due to this sudden decision of the banquet.
"Cancel all the appointments. I have a very important event to attend at noon."
"Yes, Mayor Zhou."
"Hurry and buy plane tickets. I need to rush back to Haiwang City immediately."
"Okay, Chairman."
"Quick, bring the antique pieces from my collection. Tonight's VIP is someone invited by Young Master Fei."
"..."
At noon, one luxury car after another drove into the Marriott Hotel.
The license plates of these luxury cars were daunting, attracting the attention and astonishment of many people. Some even suspected whether a high-ranking leader from the province had arrived.
At the same time, in an office building across from the North Gate of Haiwang University, a bald, burly man sat on a sofa. His eyes revealed a fierce intent. On his shiny bald head, there was a vivid green snake tattooed, with the snake sticking out its tongue, its eyes matching the gaze of the bald man.
"Have you found out?" The bald man asked while rubbing his Buddhist beads.
In front of the bald man stood three tattooed youths. One tall youth carefully said, "We found out everything. Just when we were about to take action, he got into a girl's car."
"Brother Long, that girl should be his girlfriend."
"Do you know where they went?" The bald man asked with a sinister expression.
"They went to the Marriott Hotel," the tall youth answered. "It's funny. This poor guy almost didn't even enter the hotel's gate. But it seems that his girlfriend's family is quite wealthy."
"It's good if they're wealthy." The bald man stood up and grinned. "Dare to beat up my little brother like that. I'm going to beat him to death in front of his girlfriend!"
"Brother Long, should we inform Tiger Lord about causing trouble at the Marriott Hotel?"
"Do you need to remind me of that?" The bald man glared and gave the young man a slap, fiercely scolding, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"
"Yes, yes." The tall youth covered his cheek, trembling like a sieve.
"Does a small role like this deserve to trouble Tiger Lord? The entire Marriott Hotel belongs to our Sanhe Society. I know the extent of what to do there." The bald man licked a centipede-like wound on the back of his hand, smirked, and said, "I want everyone in the Tianwu District to know that those who dare to offend Zhao Long will have no good ending!"
In the private room of the Marriott Hotel, there were seven or eight men and women sitting upright. These people were all around forty to fifty years old, the standard age for successful people.
The man sitting in the main seat, surprisingly, was the super big shot with a strong momentum in Haiwang City, the chairman of the Dongzheng Group, Fei Haiping.
The Dongzheng Group started with shipping and within a short span of a dozen years, it ventured into the real estate, investment, and insurance industries, with assets reaching billions. Many people didn't know that Fei Haiping's true identity was actually the underground emperor of Haiwang City.
Where there is light, there is darkness.
Fei Haiping was a person who operated between black and white, light and darkness.
In the eyes of many people, Fei Haiping had always been aloof and didn't even regard the mayor highly. The previous mayor was transferred out of Haiwang City just because he didn't get along well with Fei Haiping.
However, at the moment, Fei Haiping showed great respect to an ordinary young man.
"Mr. Mu, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Before the banquet begins, let me toast you first." Fei Haiping's attitude was very low, and he raised his head to drink the wine in his cup.
This scene stunned everyone present.
You see, according to the rules of the banquet, private toasts could only be made after three rounds of toasting.
Before the feast even began, making an early toast was called Tian Di Jiu (heaven and earth wine). The person making the toast was the earth, and the one receiving the toast was the heaven.
After Fei Haiping finished the toast, he immediately said, "Mr. Mu, let me introduce you. This person is our city's official, Mayor Zhou Heyuan."
Mu Feng nodded slightly towards Zhou Heyuan as a way of greeting. Although Zhou Heyuan was somewhat displeased with Mu Feng's cold attitude, he still smiled gracefully, "Mr. Mu, you have accomplished so much at such a young age. Your future is limitless."
"This person is the president of our city's Jewelers Association, Shen Wanqing."
"This person is the chairman of the Hongguang Group, Qiu Dazhi."
"This person is the president of the Haiwang City Boxing Association, Fan Jinpeng."
Fei Haiping introduced each person one by one. Every person present was a prominent figure in Haiwang City. In the past, Mu Feng didn't even have the qualification to meet them.
But now, these people were smiling at him.
Mu Feng just smiled faintly at these people. He was sparing with his words, not saying half a word more. The more he behaved like this, the more these people found him mysterious.
Many people speculated if Mu Feng was the child of some big shot in the capital. After all, they could name all the famous young masters in the province. Even if they weren't familiar, they would at least know what the other person looked like.
In the entire Haizhou Province, there was absolutely no figure like Mu Feng, and there was no prominent family with the surname Mu.
However, he was still regarded as an esteemed guest by Fei Haiping. Even if they didn't know Mu Feng's true identity, their attitude towards him remained extremely favorable.
"I dare to call you Mr. Mu along with Brother Fei. Today, I rushed here, so I didn't bring a suitable gift. These two jade Qilin vases are just a small token of my goodwill." At this moment, Shen Wanqing, the president of the Jewelers Association, stood up. He took two brocade boxes from his secretary and walked smilingly towards Mu Feng.
Shen Wanqing was around fifty years old, slightly chubby, and slightly bald. His skin had a sickly yellowish hue.
He opened the brocade boxes, and inside were two exquisite jade vases. The vases were only the size of a palm, exhibiting a dark green color throughout. On the body of each vase, there was a lif
elike carving of a Qilin, vivid and lifelike.
The exquisite craftsmanship of the carvings was breathtaking.
"President Shen's taste is extraordinary. These jade Qilin vases are truly rare and precious," Fei Haiping hurriedly praised, fearing that Mu Feng would refuse. He pointed out the preciousness of the jade Qilin vases.
"These two vases are actually spiritual energy mediums?" Mu Feng intended to decline, but as soon as the brocade boxes were opened, he sensed something was amiss.
These two jade Qilin vases actually contained traces of spiritual energy. Although the amount of spiritual energy was not significant, it was thousands of times denser than the natural spiritual energy in the world.
A spiritual energy medium was an item that could absorb spiritual energy on its own.
In the immortal world, some rare treasures or fairy herbs had the ability to absorb spiritual energy, such as the thousand-year Lingzhi and others. They could absorb tiny bits of spiritual energy over long periods of time.
