Feng Yuelan said, "Yes, Chen Lie hasn't left the room yet."
"Wait a moment, I'll go call him."
As she spoke, Feng Yuelan went to Chen Lie's room and knocked on the door.
At this moment, Chen Xingyao came out of her room and saw the girl sitting on the sofa in the living room. She couldn't help but say, "Sister Lu, what brings you here?"
"Oh, it's Yaoyao. I've come to talk to your brother about something."
The girl saw Chen Xingyao and immediately replied with a sentence.
"I just heard my mom go to call him." Chen Xingyao also sat down on the sofa.
The girl hummed in agreement.
Chen Xingyao then asked, "Sister Lu, I heard you say in the room just now that you were recruited by the Genius Training Camp. What is this Genius Training Camp like? How many people are there?"
"I'm not too clear on the specifics either."
However, I heard from my mother that the Genius Training Camp is an institution specifically designed to cultivate outstanding martial arts students, with the provincial governor's office setting the tone and the provincial martial arts association taking the lead.
The Genius Training Camp recruits students twice a year, in December at the end of the year and in July in the middle of the year.
Because the Genius Training Camp recruits students from all 23 cities in Dongchuan Province, it can recruit several hundred students each year. This July's session alone recruited over two hundred students.
"With so many martial arts students in Dongchuan Province, why are only a few hundred recruited each year?"
The girl smiled and said, "Dongchuan Province has limited resources, and it can't afford to have too many people."
By conscripting so few people, we can at least concentrate our resources.
But you don't need to worry about that. With your talent, you'll definitely be able to get into the genius training camp in the future.
"I feel this is too difficult, how can I be sure?"
Hearing his mother's call, Chen Lie opened the door and came out of the room.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
Feng Yuelan said, "Qingchan is here to see you. She's waiting for you in the living room."
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he went to the living room.
Sure enough, he saw Lu Qingchan and her younger sister Chen Xingyao sitting together on the sofa in the living room.
Lu Qingchan sat upright, while Chen Xingyao was half-lying back on the sofa.
"Brother, you're here? Sister Lu wants to see you." Chen Xingyao stood up immediately when she saw Chen Lie.
Chen Lie glanced at Lu Qingchan and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Lu Qingchan said, "I received a recruitment notice from the Provincial Martial Arts Association yesterday. Did you receive one too?"
"received!"
Chen Lie recalled that when Jiang Donglin left yesterday, he casually tossed a piece of paper on the coffee table, which was probably the so-called recruitment notice.
"So, what do you need to prepare before participating in the genius training camp?" Lu Qingchan asked.
"What are you preparing? Don't they provide meals?" Chen Lie retorted.
"Isn't the genius training camp only open once a month? What if you need martial arts resources then, but there aren't any available?"
"Prepare in advance, just in case," Lu Qingchan said.
Chen Lie looked at Lu Qingchan and suddenly seemed to remember something, so he asked, "What kind of resources are you currently using to enhance your Qi and blood?"
Lu Qingchan thought for a moment and said, "The most commonly used herbs are those over a hundred years old, which are then cooked into several medicinal meals by the kitchen. Aren't you doing that too?"
Chen Lie was not like that. Although his current blood and qi value was at the same level as Lu Qingchan's, or even a little less, the hundred-year-old spiritual herbs were no longer enough to meet his blood and qi needs.
Do you have access to purchase higher-grade spiritual herbs, or martial arts resources used by martial arts students with blood and qi values approaching four digits?

Chen Lie knew that Lu Qingchan had now returned to the Lu family, which was a powerful and influential family in Dongchuan Province. The resources they could access were beyond what ordinary people could compare to, which is why he asked this question.
"Why are you asking this? Aren't those century-old elixirs on the market enough for you? Besides, you already have the reward of winning first place in the martial arts competition, so you don't need to increase your Qi and Blood value anymore, right?"
You should focus on refining your Qi and blood now, and concentrate your cultivation on increasing your physical strength.
"You don't need to worry about that, just answer my question."
Lu Qingchan said, "A few days ago, my grandfather took me to a large martial arts resource trading place. I didn't look at it in detail, but many of the people coming and going were students from the first phase of the genius training camp, as well as the children of my uncles in the Lu family. They would also go there."
There should be martial arts resources there for people with near-four-digit health and vitality levels.
"Oh? There are places like that?" Chen Lie thought for a moment and asked, "Can ordinary people enter and leave this place you're talking about?"
"It should be okay, right?" Lu Qingchan said uncertainly, "I went with my grandfather last time, and there were people inside to greet us."
"Could you take me to this place?" Chen Lie asked.
"What are you going there for? The martial arts resources sold there are all very valuable, and they're not something you can use at your current stage," Lu Qingchan asked.
Chen Lie said, "I have my reasons. How about I trouble you this time?"
"Oh well-."
Lu Qingchan finally nodded.
At this moment, Feng Yuelan brought some breakfast to the coffee table.
"Qingchan, you've come so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
"Come on, have some with Chen Lie and Yao Yao."
"Thank you, Aunt Feng."
Lu Qingchan smiled and nodded.
Feng Yuelan asked Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao to sit next to Lu Qingchan and eat together.
While eating, Feng Yuelan said again, "Qingchan, Chen Lie's grades have improved now. If you have time, you can study martial arts with Chen Lie."
Martial arts students at the same level should be able to see each other's weaknesses. If you two can point out each other's shortcomings, it will benefit everyone.
"Okay, Aunt Feng." Lu Qingchan nodded.
"Alright, you guys eat, I have to go get back to work."
With that, Feng Yuelan tidied herself up and then left the house.
As Lu Qingchan watched Feng Yuelan leave, she waved her little hand and said, "Goodbye, Auntie."
A short while later, Chen Xingyao finished her breakfast. She stood up and said goodbye to Chen Lie and Lu Qingchan, "Brother, Sister Lu, I'm going to the martial arts gym with my classmates. Bye-bye!"
After Chen Xingyao left the house, Chen Lie had already finished breakfast. He looked at Lu Qingchan and asked, "Are you done yet?"
"Okay." Lu Qingchan took out a tissue and wiped her mouth.
"Let's go then," Chen Lie urged.
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Qingchan then said, "If I take you to the trading place, how will you thank me?"
Chen Lie frowned slightly: "What do you want?"
Lu Qingchan said, "I heard that Divine Sense Masters have unique insights into martial arts. Didn't you give guidance to a martial arts student named Li Xianyu in the top class of the first year of high school?"
For a martial arts student with a health value below 1 to master a B-level martial art, it's clear that your understanding of martial arts is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Why don't you take a look at it for me too?
"Okay," Chen Lie nodded in agreement.
"I hadn't even finished asking you the questions I wanted to ask you the day before yesterday when you left."
"I want you to explain to me what a Divine Sense Master is," Lu Qingchan said.
Chen Lie patiently explained to Lu Qingchan: "A Divine Mind Master is a cultivator who practices spiritual power."
Once you awaken your divine sense, you can perceive spiritual power, thereby enhancing your spiritual power and becoming a Divine Sense Master.
"What is divine inspiration?"
"Divine sense, also known as the sixth sense, is the sixth sense other than the senses of hearing, smell, taste, sight, and touch."
Lu Qingchan nodded, "I see."
In fact, she only had a superficial understanding of divine sense masters.
Let's go!
Lu Qingchan stopped asking questions and went out with Chen Lie.
After Chen Lie left home, he wanted to take the flying bus at the bus stop next to his house, but Lu Qingchan stopped him.
"When I came out, my mother gave me an airship."
Chen Lie was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Then let's take the airship!"
Lu Qingchan led Chen Lie to a purple airship, and then boarded the airship.
"The trading place I'm talking about is located behind the Dongchuan Military Region, very close to the Genius Training Camp, less than ten miles away."
After boarding the airship, Lu Qingchan put it into autopilot mode.
Just twenty minutes later, the airship arrived next to the Dongchuan Military Region, at a huge site covering an area of about 20,000 square meters.
After the airship landed, Chen Lie disembarked immediately.
"This is it. This place is very big, probably four or five times bigger than the Martial Arts Association in the city center."
There's a long street inside, and many areas outside that street are closed to the public.
Lu Qingchan came up to Chen Lie and pointed ahead with her small hand.
"I understand, go in!"
Lu Qingchan nodded and led Chen Lie to the entrance of the trading area.
The entrance to the trading market was guarded by more than a dozen martial artists.
Upon seeing Chen Lie and Lu Qingchan approaching, they immediately stopped them.
"This is the martial arts resource trading center under the Dongchuan Martial Arts Association. Please show your credentials to enter."
"certificate?"
Lu Qingchan was taken aback. She remembered that the last time she came here, no one had asked her for a receipt.
At this moment, Chen Lie walked up to Lu Qingchan and asked, "Do you have any proof?"
"Wait a moment, let me contact my mother."
As she spoke, Lu Qingchan walked to the side and took out her communicator to contact her mother, Xu Yunyan.
Xu Yunyan's voice came through the communicator quickly: "What's wrong, Qingchan?"
"Mom, my classmate and I want to go to the trading market that Grandpa took me to last time, but we're being stopped by the people here. They want me to show some identification to get in, but I don't have any. What should I do?"
"That trading venue was run by the Provincial Martial Arts Association, and only high-level martial artists and martial arts geniuses are allowed to enter."
Your mom and dad were thinking of getting you a certificate, but we think that with your grades, you can easily get into the genius training camp.
According to regulations, trainees in the genius training camp are eligible to enter the trading market, so there's no rush to process your application.
Lu Qingchan couldn't help but ask, "What do we do now? I promised my classmate that I would take him in."
