Chapter 171 Martial Arts Cultivation Method
Since it was a friend's introduction, Tang Jiu'er didn't want to offend Luo Zhixun, so she nodded slightly to Chen Lie and said, "Hello, Chen Lie."
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Hello."
Tang Jiu'er nodded slightly, ignoring Chen Lie, and looked at Luo Zhixun: "Zhixun, my sister taught me some insights on the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm."
Since you deciphered the extraterrestrial crystal, you must have gained something from it. Why don't we exchange our insights?
Luo Zhixun naturally noticed her friend's indifference towards Chen Lie, so she emphasized, "Jiu'er, Chen Lie is a Divine Sense Master, only one step away from entering the next level. His mastery of spiritual power is roughly equivalent to Ji Lingxuan's mastery of martial arts within the three provinces of Sichuan."
"A mind reader?"
Upon hearing Luo Zhixun's words, Tang Jiu'er's eyes lit up.
People on Earth, even martial arts geniuses who have made it into the provincial youth genius team, all have a mysterious filter on Divine Sense Masters.
In their view, a spiritual master is different from a martial artist; a spiritual master is a cultivator who cultivates intangible spiritual power and touches upon the level of spiritual cultivation.
"Are you a Grandmaster seed?" Tang Jiu'er asked Chen Lie.
Chen Lie shook his head and said, "No."
"Huh? I remember there were five Grandmaster seeds in the genius group. One of them, Cui Jinyang, was rated as a Grandmaster seed with just over 1,200 kilocalories of qi and blood. He was still far from being a Grandmaster seed, but he was exceptionally included in the Grandmaster seed list just because he was a Divine Sense Master."
"Why weren't you exceptionally included in the Grandmaster seed list?" Luo Zhixun explained, "Jiu'er, Chen Lie entered the genius group based on his martial arts skills. The fact that he is a Divine Sense Master wasn't reported."
"Why not report it? Are you trying to undermine martial arts resources?" Tang Jiu'er wondered.
Luo Zhixun said, "Jiu'er, Chen Lie has only been in the genius group for two days. Naturally, he chose not to report it to the Divine Sense Master. He must have his own reasons."
Tang Jiu'er carefully examined Chen Lie for a few moments: "Your mastery of divine sense is comparable to Ji Lingxuan in the Three Rivers Martial Arts."
"It doesn't look any different."
Then, Tang Jiu'er continued, "Zhi Xun, my sister told me that the truly outstanding students at Starry Sky University, besides being martial artists, are also Divine Sense Masters."
We'll inevitably have to deal with spiritualists a lot in the future, so if there's an opportunity, it's a good thing to learn about this profession beforehand.
Luo Zhixun hummed in agreement and asked, "Chen Lie, where are you going?"
"Let's go to a restaurant for a meal."
"Later, Jiu'er and I are going to discuss our gains from reaching the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm. Do you want to come along?"
Chen Lie shook his head: "No."
"Oh well."
Luo Zhixun originally wanted Chen Lie to listen in, but now that Chen Lie refused, she had no choice but to give up.
Chen Lie grunted in agreement, then turned and left for the restaurant.
After Chen Lie left, Tang Jiu'er couldn't help but say, "Look at this person, how can he be so ungrateful?"
"We are both on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, and we invited him to sit in on our martial arts exchange, but he still refused to go."
"Jiu'er, Chen Lie's spiritual power is really high. Don't say things like that again. It's too offensive."
"Zhixun, if you ask me, aren't you making a fuss over nothing?"
You're saying Chen Lie's mastery of spiritual power is comparable to Ji Lingxuan's mastery of martial arts? Is it because there are practically no spiritual power masters in our Sanchuan region?
"Of course not!"
Luo Zhixun immediately denied it.
She heard Tang Jiu'er say that even a master of divine sense couldn't decipher that extraterrestrial crystal, but Chen Lie could, which naturally demonstrated Chen Lie's unique talent in the art of spiritual power.
"Alright, let's find a training room and share our experiences."
"Um!"
Meanwhile, Chen Lie went to the restaurant of the genius team.
I went to the restaurant's food pick-up area, got a nutritious meal, and sat down to eat it slowly.
A nutritional meal for the province's group of young geniuses can increase one's blood and qi by at least ten calories, after all, it's something worth hundreds of thousands of star coins.
The members of the genius group practice martial arts intensively every day. If they cannot replenish the energy they have consumed in time, their qi and blood will begin to decline slightly.
Chen Lie had only been sitting down for a short while when he suddenly smelled a fragrant breeze. He looked up and saw Jian Dan Song Yixuan smiling at him.
Song Yixuan placed the plate opposite Chen Lie and asked, "Chen Lie, you don't mind me sitting across from you, do you?"
"Please sit if you wish," Chen Lie nodded slightly.
Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Song Yixuan immediately sat down opposite him and began to eat her nutritious meal in small bites.
Chen Lie finished his nutritious meal in just a few minutes. After wiping his mouth with a tissue, he was about to leave when Song Yixuan across from him suddenly called out to him.
"Chen Lie, we've met several times, so we're practically friends, right? Why didn't you even say goodbye before leaving?"
"You're eating so fast, do you want to sit with me?"
Song Yixuan looked at Chen Lie with her captivating eyes and a smile playing on her lips.
"Oh? Song, is there something you need?" Chen Lie stopped getting up and looked at Song Yixuan.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to chat with you, Chen Lie. After all, it's my first day in the provincial youth genius team, and I'm a newcomer here, so I don't know anyone or anything."
"I happen to have something to ask you about."
"Does Song know where I can buy the Spirit-Nourishing Flower?" Chen Lie asked.
"The Spirit-Nourishing Flower?" Song Yixuan exclaimed in surprise, "You're a Spiritual Sense Master? I remember the Spirit-Nourishing Flower is used for cultivating spiritual power, right?"
"Not bad!" Chen Lie nodded.
"So Chen Lie is a Divine Sense Master. But why do you think I have a way to buy the Spirit-Nourishing Flower?" Song Yixuan asked in return.
"Young Song, your martial arts level is so high that you probably can't find anyone else among the younger generation in the entire Dongchuan Province."
You seem to be a few months younger than me, yet you've reached this level in martial arts, which means your family background far surpasses that of many powerful and wealthy families in Dongchuan Province.
If you don't have a way to buy the Spirit-Nourishing Flower, then there are probably very few people in Dongchuan Province who can buy it.
Song Yixuan felt that Chen Lie seemed to be certain that her blood and qi had reached their limit, otherwise why would he say that there was no one else like her in Dongchuan Province?
It seems that her previous lie about the S-level martial arts technique failed to fool Chen Lie.
She didn't care whether she could fool Chen Lie or not, as long as her identity wasn't questioned.
"I do have a way to purchase the Spirit-Nourishing Flower, but since it's not sold by my family, I wonder what Chen Lie can use to buy it."
Of course, Star Essence goes without saying, but the Spirit-Nourishing Flower is a priceless treasure whose value cannot be measured by ordinary money.
As for the points system of the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association, it's only valid within Dongchuan Province; outside of Dongchuan, it's worthless.
"In that case, how about we barter?"
Song Yixuan asked, "Barter? What could be more precious than the Spirit-Nourishing Flower?"
"My master taught me a cultivation method for reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. How about I exchange it for it?" Chen Lie asked.
"Your master? I don't know who your master is—"
"My master is a martial artist at the Grandmaster level, and also a master of divine sense. As for his name, I cannot reveal it."
"What? Your master is a master of divine sense?"
Song Yixuan stared wide-eyed at Chen Lie in disbelief.
"Keep your voice down, I don't want everyone to know."
Song Yixuan took a deep breath. She knew what a Divine Sense Grandmaster was. It was the highest level on Blue Star, even rarer and more precious than a Grandmaster.
Moreover, generally speaking, every master of divine sense is also a grandmaster martial artist.
But what kind of disciple can't a Grandmaster of Divine Sense take on? What qualifications does Chen Lie have to become a disciple of a Grandmaster of Divine Sense?
Song Yixuan couldn't help but ask, "Chen Lie, may I ask how you became a disciple of a Divine Sense Grandmaster?"
"I'm not at liberty to disclose that."
"understand."
Song Yixuan nodded: "What you just said was that you would use a martial arts cultivation method at the peak of Qi and Blood to exchange for the Spirit Nourishing Flower."
Is it a martial arts secret technique for breaking through the limits of Qi and Blood?
"No, the cultivation method I'm talking about is a martial arts cultivation method for those who have reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood."
"Hmm? There are also martial arts secret techniques specifically for those at the peak of their Qi and Blood cultivation?"
Song Yixuan was surprised because she had never heard of such a martial arts secret technique.
After reaching the extreme of the Qi and Blood stage, generally speaking, one has to rely entirely on self-exploration.
Of course, there are also cultivation steps passed down from Starry Sky University, such as refining the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs—these are brutal methods for tempering the body. However, the specific details of how to cultivate are up to oneself.
The martial arts secrets cultivated by those who have broken through to the pinnacle of Qi and Blood in the world of martial arts must exist outside the stars, but they are definitely secrets that are not passed down to others, and are certainly not something that a martial arts-poor planet like Earth is qualified to access.
If Chen Lie truly possesses such a cultivation method, then it is absolutely priceless.
Chen Lie said, "Of course, I can give you a fragment first. You can use this fragment to go back and assess the true value of this martial arts cultivation method."
If there are no objections, let's choose a mutually agreeable offer and make the exchange.
"Okay, how will you give me this incomplete piece?" Song Yixuan asked.
"Find me paper and pen, I'll write it down for you."
"it is good."
Song Yixuan was very interested in the martial arts training method that Chen Lie mentioned, so she got up and asked a restaurant staff member for a notebook and pen, and returned to the table to give them to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie took the paper and pen, recalled some second-rate body-refining methods from Tai'a Star Province in the Central Galaxy Empire of his previous life, and mixed them together in a haphazard way, cutting off the beginning and end, and began to write.
Song Yixuan sat opposite Chen Lie, eating her meal at a leisurely pace while watching Chen Lie diligently write.
About ten minutes later, Song Yixuan finished her medicinal meal, and Chen Lie finished writing.
Chen Lie closed the notebook and handed it to Song Yixuan.
"My martial arts secret technique is a closely guarded secret even outside the stars. You'd better ask your elders to observe it with their own eyes and see how many Spirit-Nourishing Flowers it is worth."
Song Yixuan took the notebook, opened it, and glanced at it.
In just a moment, she was captivated.
Gradually, Song Yixuan's gentle expression turned to surprise.
Chen Liezhi wrote down detailed cultivation methods for refining skin and flesh in her notebook. Having already gone through these two steps, she sincerely felt that the cultivation methods in the notebook were invaluable and could not possibly exist on Blue Star.
If she had such a wondrous cultivation method when she reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, she wouldn't have wasted so much time, the process wouldn't have been so difficult, and the results of her cultivation would have been several times greater than before.
Song Yixuan resisted the urge to continue reading, closed her notebook, and asked, "Chen Lie, won't your master, a Grandmaster of Divine Sense, object to you exchanging such a precious martial arts technique for the Spirit Nourishing Flower?"
"Maybe, but can't we just keep it from him?"
"You've obtained this martial arts secret technique, surely you won't publicize it widely?"
"Of course not!" Song Yixuan shook her head.
"Alright, go back and check with your elders to see how many Spirit-Nourishing Flowers you want to exchange for my cultivation method. My contact information is written on the back of the notebook."
Song Yixuan hummed in agreement, and after Chen Lie got up and left, she also walked out of the Genius Group's restaurant.
Upon arriving at the Martial Arts Association's plaza, Song Yixuan boarded an airship.
The airship sped westward at a speed of over a thousand kilometers per hour.
About half an hour later, the airship reached the border between Dongchuan Province and Xichuan Province and landed in a remote, sparsely populated area.
Song Yixuan stepped off the airship and walked up a low mountain peak. She took out a whistle and played a tune.
About ten minutes later, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man suddenly appeared.
"Xiao Xuan".
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Song Yixuan immediately said, "Third Uncle, I have successfully joined the Dongchuan Province Youth Genius Group as planned and have secured a spot at the genius gathering the day after tomorrow. What plans does the organization have that require my implementation?"
"The day after tomorrow, at the gathering of geniuses from eight provinces including Sichuan and Shaanxi, a mental power genius with a score of 1.3 million on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Consciousness Sea Ranking, ranking 21st on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking, will appear, and is expected to become a Divine Sense Grandmaster."
Our internal team has investigated and found that this mental prodigy only recently entered the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm half a month ago. His martial arts skills are still quite far behind yours. If you can find an opportunity to be alone with him and seize the right moment, a one-hit kill wouldn't be difficult, but—”
"Just what?"
The middle-aged man sighed: "It's just that my third uncle doesn't want you to carry out this mission anymore."
This time, after much effort, we finally got you into the Dongchuan Provincial Youth Genius Group. If you go to carry out this mission, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from the higher-ups of the eight provinces, and you will most likely have to leave the Dongchuan Provincial Youth Genius Group.
Having left the Dongchuan Province Youth Genius Group, there has been no longer any opportunity for him to travel to outer space according to the Blue Star's procedures.
Logically speaking, at your current age, you should be like other martial arts geniuses on Blue Star, being specially recruited by Blue Star University in two months, and then using Blue Star University as a stepping stone to study at Starry Sky University.
If you stay on Earth forever, the gap between your martial arts and those of other geniuses on Earth at your level will only widen.
I cannot let you ruin your martial arts future in order to complete this task.
