Chapter 187 Grandmaster Seed Assessment
The leaders of the delegations from the three provinces in central Sichuan arranged for their respective province's geniuses to board the airship.
Outside the airship, Shen Miaowei saw Chen Lie queuing in the Dongchuan Province Genius Team, so she went over to him.
"Chen Liexian, are you alright yesterday? Did you encounter any danger?"
Chen Lie glanced at Shen Miaowei and asked, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"
Wasn't Wu Tianchen assassinated?
"This shows that even after two years of official crackdowns, the Dark Moon Organization still poses a great danger. You should be careful and pay attention to safety in your daily life," Shen Miaowei said.
Chen Lie nodded and said, "I know."
"Okay, I'll head back now."
In short, it's best to be careful.
Shen Miaowei hesitated for a moment, then, after reminding Chen Lie, she returned to the Yunchuan Province Genius Team.
At this moment, Tang Jiu'er, who was next to Chen Lie, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Chen Lie, what is your relationship with Shen Miaowei from Yunchuan?"
Surely he can't be interested in you, right?
"Just friends."
Tang Jiu'er said, "I knew it. How could the heir of the Yun Chuan family, who has reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, be a love-obsessed person?"
Even if you're going to choose a partner, you should look up to them. Why would they be interested in you? Right?
Chen Lie turned his head away, ignoring Tang Jiu'er.
He wasn't particularly fond of this overly friendly Tang Jiu'er.
Soon after, Chen Lie followed the Dongchuan Province team into the super airship and found a seat to sit down.
Once everyone had boarded, Du Jinlong of the Guannei Province Martial Arts Association began taking attendance. After confirming that no one had been missed, the airship took off and headed towards Yunchuan.
Shortly after the super airship took off, Du Jinlong arrived at the seating area for the members of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team.
"Which one of you is Chen Lie?"
Du Jinlong glanced at the many geniuses in Dongchuan Province.
"I!"
Chen Lie stood up and walked towards Du Jinlong.
Du Jinlong glanced at Chen Lie, then took out a box wrapped in a bag and handed it to Chen Lie.
"This was entrusted to you by Lu Kun, the president of the Guannei Province Divine Mind Masters Association."
There are two ancient medicinal herbs in total. One is to improve the purity of qi and blood, and the other is to improve the strength of qi and blood.
Meanwhile, Chairman Lu asked me to pass on a message to you.
He said you've done him a great favor, and the two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are rightfully yours. As for the rest, he's already sent people to urgently contact the Global Association of Divine Sense Masters to collect them.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Lie nodded.
After Du Jinlong finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did you do to help Chairman Lu? Chairman Lu actually gave you two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs as a reward."
"A reward? It's more like a transaction."
"Nonsense! Chairman Lu is a high-level Divine Sense Master, a Grandmaster-level martial artist, and a very important figure in Guannei Province. Why would he make a deal with a junior like you?"
"Besides, what do you have that Chairman Lu would trade with you for?" Du Jinlong reprimanded.
Chen Lie did not argue with Du Jinlong. After obtaining the thousand-year-old elixir, he returned to his original seat.
He understood why Lu Kun had given him an extra thousand-year-old spiritual herb.
The reason he didn't care was simply because Lu Kun wanted to befriend the ninth world of Blue Star in his sea of consciousness.
After all, divine sense masters are rare on Blue Star. The ninth-ranked person in the sea of consciousness on Blue Star is considered by most people to be a divine sense genius, one in ten million.
Seeing that Chen Lie didn't answer and had returned to his seat, Du Jinlong simply turned around and left as well.
Back in his seat, Chen Lie glanced at the two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the bag box, and also looked at the descriptions of the herbs.
One is a thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Grass, and the other is a thousand-year-old Golden Ganoderma.
The combined value of these two ancient medicinal herbs is nearly one billion star coins.
Chen Lie took out a golden card booklet from his pocket. He had obtained it from Ji Lingxuan, who said that it could be used to exchange for a martial arts resource worth less than one billion star yuan.
Just then, Chen Lie's strength had reached its limit, and he was about to begin tempering his body. However, he still hadn't found the resources to refine his "tough skin and resilient flesh," so this golden book came at the perfect time.
The super airship traveled at top speed for about an hour and a half before landing at the Yunnan Provincial Martial Arts Association.
More than sixty members of the Sanchuan Genius Group disembarked from the airship.
Before leaving, Zhang Weifeng, the deacon in charge of the Yunchuan Province delegation, said to Du Jinlong: "Deacon Du, why don't you give the members of our Yunchuan Province genius team a talk like you did when you left, and tell them to learn from the martial arts geniuses of the provinces within the pass, so that they won't become arrogant and complacent because they've never seen the outside world in this small place like Yunchuan?"
Du Jinlong was obviously aware of the sparring between the martial arts champions of Guannei Province and Yunchuan Province, so he was naturally not as arrogant as he had been when he arrived.
He said, "Old Zhang, is it meaningful for you to be so sarcastic towards me?"
I admit that Yun Chuan has produced an extraordinary martial arts genius, but apart from the martial arts champion who is worth mentioning, the rest of the members are all lacking in talent.
Is their overall strength comparable to that of our provinces within the Great Wall?
"We may not be able to match your overall strength, but we can match your top geniuses. After all, your Guannei Province is the top of the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi. If your overall strength is surpassed by our Yunchuan, then all the leaders above the middle level of your Martial Arts Association should quit their jobs."
"You've got enough. The three provinces of Sichuan have been suppressed by the five provinces of Shaanxi and Lingnan for decades, and only one martial arts genius has emerged. I'm afraid you'll get too cocky."
If you piss me off, I'll ask Chairman Dong of Guannei Province to request the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters to transfer Ji Lingxuan to our Guannei Province for training.
"Your Yunchuan is a poor province; surely your martial arts resources can't compare to those of our Guannei Province? If Chairman Dong really makes this request, the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters will most likely agree," Du Jinlong said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Weifeng immediately said, "Sir Du Jinlong, surely your Guannei Province isn't this shameless?"
Du Jinlong chuckled coldly and said, "What do you think?"
Zhang Weifeng quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You absolutely mustn't poach our Yunchuan's once-in-a-decades martial arts genius."
Seeing Zhang Weifeng's boastful submission, the leaders of the delegations from Xichuan and Dongchuan provinces were green with envy, secretly regretting that their provinces had not produced such an amazing martial arts genius.
After the steward of the Three Provinces Genius Group saw off Du Jinlong and the group of people from Guannei Province, he returned to the Yunchuan Province Martial Arts Association.
"Old Zhang, look at how smug you are. The martial arts champion of your province, this has really boosted your prestige. You truly live up to your name."
Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group, said.
Zhang Weifeng glanced at Jiang Xiaodong and said, "Old Jiang, stop pretending. Your Dongchuan Province's martial arts champion isn't someone to be trifled with, is he?"
"You mean Wang Dongting?" Jiang Xiaodong asked.
"Otherwise what? Does your Dongchuan Province have a second martial arts champion?"
Ji Lingxuan herself said that Wang Dongting, the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province, is a formidable opponent who can rival her. How could Wang Dongting, the martial arts champion of Dongchuan, be a simple person?
Zhang Weifeng's words made Jiang Xiaodong fall into deep thought. Could it be that Wang Dongting had been hiding his strength all along, and this time it was discovered by the people of Yunchuan?
But what is Wang Dongting after?
The deacons from Dongchuan and Xichuan provinces urged the members of their respective genius groups to return.
One member of the genius team lamented, "Let's go, the next time we meet will probably be at the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament in Sichuan."
"The Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament? What kind of martial arts tournament is this? Everyone knows that the champion of this year's Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament has already been reserved by Ji Lingxuan, the number one genius of Three Provinces."
Even Yang Tianlai from the inner province is no match for her; the rest of us would be easy prey.
"No, who bestowed the title of 'Number One Genius of Sanchuan' upon Ji Lingxuan? Did the rest of us from East and West Sichuan agree to it?"
"Do I need your approval? It's common knowledge that the martial arts in Yunchuan Province are stronger than those in Dongchuan and Xichuan, so the number one genius in Yunchuan is naturally also the number one genius in the three provinces."
Amidst the murmurs of discussion, the members of the genius teams from Dongchuan and Xichuan provinces boarded the airships back to their respective provinces.
Just before Chen Lie boarded the airship, a clear, cold voice called out to him.
"Chen Lie!"
Upon hearing this clear, cold voice, Chen Lie turned around and saw Ji Lingxuan walking gracefully towards him.
"Is there something you need?"
When Ji Lingxuan walked up to him, Chen Lie asked.
Ji Lingxuan said softly, "I learned from Shen Miaowei that you are a very powerful spiritualist?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "That's right."
"The method of circulating qi and blood that you gave me is more useful to me than I imagined."
You said I have more than one shortcoming in martial arts, is that true?
"certainly."
After listening to Chen Lie's words, Ji Lingxuan nodded slightly and said, "Cultivators with high attainments in spiritual power do indeed have their unique strengths."
If I have the opportunity, I would like to have another martial arts exchange with Chen. What do you think, Chen?
Chen Lie said, "We'll see."
Ji Lingxuan frowned. She wasn't stupid; she could hear the perfunctory tone in Chen Lie's voice and understood that he was indirectly rejecting her.
However, if she could exchange martial arts ideas with Chen Lie again, it would naturally be of great benefit to her.
As a spiritualist, Chen Lie could help him verify and correct his martial arts. However, he hadn't been able to offer any help during the last martial arts exchange, and exchanging martial arts techniques was a waste of time for Chen Lie. Therefore, his refusal seemed understandable.
Thinking of this, Ji Lingxuan gently raised her head and looked directly at Chen Lie, saying, "Chen, your reluctance to use martial arts last time does not mean that I cannot help you."
I have some insights into martial arts, and while I can't guarantee anything else, I'm confident I can help you avoid some pitfalls on your martial arts journey.
"I may have taken some detours in my martial arts journey, but in your eyes, it was a shortcut," Chen Lie said.
Upon hearing this, Ji Lingxuan wanted to say something, but then she heard the deacon from Dongchuan Province urging her on the airship.
"Chen Lie, Ji, if you have anything to say, you can add Green Bubble as a friend and say it on Green Bubble."
Everyone at home is waiting for you, so please hurry.
Chen Lie said, "Deacon Jiang Xiaodong is urging me, so I'll be leaving now."
Hearing Jiang Xiaodong's urging, Ji Lingxuan was about to take out her communicator to add Chen Lie's Green Bubble as a friend, but Chen Lie had already boarded the airship. So she had to put the communicator back and wave goodbye to Chen Lie.
As soon as Chen Lie boarded the airship and sat down, the cabin door closed, and the airship took off and flew towards Dongchuan Province.
"Huh? Chen Lie, was that Ji Lingxuan, the champion of Yun Chuan Martial Arts, looking for you just now?"
Shortly after the airship took off, Tang Jiu'er, who was sitting behind Chen Lie, patted Chen Lie's seat and asked.
Chen Lie hummed in agreement.
"You're quite something, aren't you? When did you become acquainted with Ji Lingxuan?" Tang Jiu'er asked.
Luo Zhixun, who was next to Tang Jiu'er, also looked puzzled.
"Oh, on the first day of the gathering, when we drew lots for the martial arts exchange, I was matched with Ji Lingxuan in the first round," Chen Lie said.
"Wow, you got matched with Ji Lingxuan? Your luck is amazing!"
"Did you ask Ji Lingxuan to teach you martial arts? You know, she's a martial arts genius who can even suppress Yang Tianlai, the top martial arts champion of the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi." Tang Jiu'er asked in surprise.
"No." Chen Lie shook his head.
"That's true. It's a provincial talent exchange meeting, and the time is so tight, I can't possibly give you all the expert guidance I need." Tang Jiu'er then asked, "But what did Ji Lingxuan want when she came to see you just now?"
She also wanted to discuss martial arts with me, but I didn't agree.
Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Tang Jiu'er chuckled and then burst out laughing.
"No, you mean Ji Lingxuan took the initiative to ask you to exchange martial arts tips? What does she want from you? Does she want your low health? Does she want you to be unknown and a nobody?"
Why are you putting on airs?
Although Luo Zhixun also felt that Chen Lie's words were somewhat unrealistic, she still gently tugged at Tang Jiu'er's clothes to remind her that her words were too sarcastic.
When the airship arrived at the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association, it was already 11:00 a.m.
The twenty members of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team disembarked from the airship one by one.
We arrived at the martial arts training ground in Dongchuan Province.
Gu Tian, the mentor of the genius team, appeared at the martial arts training ground immediately.
"Welcome back, everyone."
Many members greeted Gu Tian, saying, "Hello, Gu Tian."
"Yes, I've heard about what happened to you all from Deacon Jiang."
Five students from Blue Star University were assassinated by the Dark Moon Organization on such a solemn occasion.
This shows that even after the two-year-long large-scale crackdown organized by the Blue Star authorities, Dark Moon still possesses considerable power and is able to infiltrate such situations.
Therefore, I advise you all to stay home as much as possible for your own safety.
"At this gathering of geniuses, I believe many members will realize how insignificant they are compared to the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi."
Therefore, you must strive to catch up in martial arts and surpass yourselves, for there is no limit to the pursuit of martial arts.
I won't say much more. You've all walked a long way and must be tired. It's lunchtime now.
Here, I have something to announce.
Three days later, the genius team will conduct a Grandmaster seed assessment. If your Qi and Blood value exceeds 1800 calories and your Strength value exceeds 4...
Anyone who passes the assessment can become a Grandmaster Seed Member and enjoy more resources.
Alright, everyone, you can all leave now.
After Gu Tian finished speaking, the twenty members of the genius team dispersed and left the training ground.
