Chapter 225 Divine Sense Enters the First Stage, First Star God Jingmu Han
"Of course, with just two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, I'm guaranteed a top-three finish."
Chen Lie didn't say anything about being number one, because he didn't think others would believe it.
"Alright, in a little while, report the two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs you need to the old man."
"We've agreed beforehand that if you fail to secure a top-three finish as promised, the Martial Arts Association will confiscate your prize money from the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament."
"Okay!" Chen Lie nodded.
Gu Tian said, "Send me the two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs you need, and I'll try my best to find them within two days."
"good!"
After Chen Lie replied, he left.
After Chen Lie left, Gu Tian couldn't help but ask, "President Xu, even if Chen Lie can't get into the top three in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, he'll definitely be able to get into the top five."
"Confiscating his prize of being among the top five in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament just because he has two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs? That's not fair, is it?"
Xu Tianchuan chuckled and said, "I might as well ask him for the reward from the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament for two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, just to put a little pressure on him."
"Yun Chuan will definitely take at least two of the top three spots in this martial arts competition. To be honest, I've almost given up hope of getting into the top three at all."
"Alas, indeed, the overall martial arts level of Yunchuan Province is a notch higher than that of Dongchuan, not to mention that this year they have produced Ji Lingxuan, who is on par with the top martial arts champion of the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi." Gu Tian shook his head and sighed.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned home and received a communication.
He answered immediately, and a voice came through the communicator.
"Hello, are you Mr. Chen Lie?"
"I am Chen Lie."
"I am a senior deacon of the Guannei Province Spiritual Master Association. I have been entrusted by President Lu Kun to deliver two spiritual treasures to you. I have already arrived in Changdong City. May I ask where you are now?"
Upon hearing about the spiritual energy treasure, Chen Lie's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately gave them his address: "Come here, I'm at—"
Upon hearing Chen Lie's address, the person on the other end of the communicator immediately replied, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be there within twenty minutes."
After hanging up the call, Chen Lie left his house and waited outside the front door.
About ten minutes later, an airship landed next to Chen Lie's house, and a young man in his thirties stepped off the airship.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, the young man immediately stepped forward: "Mr. Chen Lie?"
"I am Chen Lie!" Chen Lie nodded.
"I know, I saw your promotional poster at the Dongchuan provincial border. As the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province, I certainly couldn't mistake you for someone else."
The young man chuckled and said, "This is something that Chairman Lu from Guannei Province asked me to give you. You can check it."
As he spoke, the young man handed Chen Lie two high-end wooden boxes.
Chen Lie took the wooden box, opened it, and found that it indeed contained two spirit energy plants that he needed. He nodded and said, "Not bad, this is what I wanted."
"Since there's no mistake, just sign the receipt so I can report back."
Chen Lie nodded, took the receipt, signed it, and then handed it to the young man.
"Okay, Mr. Chen Lie, I have business to attend to in Dongchuan, so I won't bother you any longer."
After putting away the receipt, the young man said goodbye to Chen Lie and boarded the airship.
Just as Chen Lie was about to turn around and go home, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Brother, you're back?"
Chen Lie turned around and saw that the speaker was his younger sister, Chen Xingyao. Next to Chen Xingyao stood a pretty girl.
Chen Lie hummed in agreement and looked at the girl next to Chen Xingyao.
"This is my classmate from the honors class, her name is Zhu Yining," Chen Xingyao introduced.
Zhu Yining lowered her head and greeted Chen Lie, saying, "Hello, senior."
Chen Lie grunted in agreement, looked Zhu Yining up and down, and said, "You're quite good. In just a few days, your Qi and Blood value has exceeded 3 calories."
"This is all thanks to my senior's help. Besides, even if I multiply my Qi and Blood points by a hundred, they still wouldn't be a fraction of his," Zhu Yining said.
"Hey, do you know my brother?" Chen Xingyao looked at Zhu Yining strangely.
"Yes, I went to the scene when the genius team had a martial arts competition. Senior Chen Lie picked two people from the provincial key high school students to give guidance, and I was one of them," Zhu Yining said.
"That's quite a coincidence," Chen Xingyao said.
"Senior, I will definitely return a martial arts treasure to you."
Zhu Yining was deeply grateful to Chen Lie for generously sponsoring her with one million star coins.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."
According to Chen Lie's memories from his previous life, Zhu Yining would win the martial arts championship in Dongchuan Province two years later, becoming the first martial arts champion in the history of Dongchuan Province to be awarded the title of champion in three provinces. Her talent must be exceptional.
I wonder if the one million star coins he sponsored her in the early stages will save Zhu Yining a year and allow her to achieve what she will have achieved two years in advance.
"Hoshino, I'll be going now!"
"Come to my place for a bit," Chen Xingyao said.
Zhu Yining glanced at Chen Lie secretly, shook her head and said, "No, maybe next time."
"Oh well."
Chen Xingyao could only nod.
After Zhu Yining left, Chen Lie called Chen Xingyao home.
After returning home, Chen Lie asked his sister, "How's your practice of the Azure Phoenix Body Refining Technique that I taught you going?"
"I have almost completely mastered the opening chapters of the 'Azure Bend Body Refining Method,' and my Qi and Blood value has exceeded 100, reaching 123."
"Card, my stamina has also reached 5.4 times."
Chen Lie grunted and said, "Martial arts cultivation is the foundation, but the cultivation of the Azure Phoenix Body Refining Technique cannot be neglected."
Even if you go to Blue Capital and join the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association in the future, you can't just focus on cultivating your spiritual power as they say.
"Yes, I know!" Chen Xingyao nodded emphatically.
"Are you and Zhu Yining on good terms?" Chen Lie asked.
"They're alright, I guess? They're just classmates in the honors class, but we get along well usually."
"Today she asked me on Green Bubble if I knew where to find cost-effective nutritional supplements that could improve blood circulation. I was also planning to buy some resources to improve blood circulation, so I went to the Martial Arts Market with her," Chen Xingyao said.
Chen Lie grunted in agreement, gave Chen Xingyao a few words of advice, and then went to the training room at home.
After opening the two spiritual treasures, Chen Lie sat cross-legged on the practice futon.
Spiritual power treasures are spiritual power rare treasures, equivalent to martial arts rare treasures. The reason they are so precious is that all spiritual power rare treasures are imported from outer space; they are not produced on Earth itself.
On Earth, one extraordinary spiritual treasure is definitely worth ten rare martial arts artifacts.
"These two spiritual treasures are enough for me to enter the ranks of Divine Sense Master and become the first Star God among the Seven Star Gods, Jingmu Han."
Chen Lie closed his eyes and began to circulate the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter," arranging and combining his five hundred stars in the Southern Seven Mansions.
With his mental energy circulating at an extreme speed, Chen Lie suddenly unleashed a surge of mental energy from between his brows and began to absorb the two spiritual energy treasures from a distance.
In an instant, Chen Lie absorbed all the energy from the two plants, which was equivalent to spiritual power, and they turned into powder.
At this moment, Chen Lie's sea of consciousness began to change.
The first of the seven southern constellations, Jing, is dominated by eight stars, which influence the rotation of many auxiliary stars within Jing.
Gradually, the stars of the constellation Jing (井) linked together, and the shape of a beast gradually took shape.
As the energy of the two spiritual treasures rapidly depleted, within Chen Lie's sea of consciousness, above the eight stars of the Well constellation, a ferocious beast with a tiger's face, a deer's body, a red head, and upright horns fully manifested.
The First Star God, Jingmu Kuang, has taken shape!
At the same time, Chen Lie's spiritual power underwent a transformation in an instant, becoming more solid than before, which was ethereal and intangible.
"The cultivation of the First Star God is complete, and the cultivation of spiritual power has entered the next stage."
Chen Lie murmured to himself.
He fully perceived the changes that had occurred in his sea of consciousness.
After reaching the level of a Divine Sense Master, his mental power became much more solid. Furthermore, due to Jing Mu Kuang's cultivation, his mental power became even sharper and more aggressive.
"Having cultivated into the First Star God Wellwood, and with my mental strength already at the next level, I can defeat even a fourth-level martial artist from Blue Star using my mental strength."
In the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament a few days later, if Chen Lie were to use his mental power attack, even Ji Lingxuan, who was in the Refining Stage and possessed a strength of 20,000 jin, would have no chance to retaliate.
"However, the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament is ultimately about martial arts. Mental attacks can be used as an auxiliary method to win at crucial moments, but if we rely solely on mental methods, Yun Chuan will definitely not approve of it."
After all this wrangling, it's not even certain that we'll be able to successfully claim the first-place prize.
Chen Lie experienced the power of the Jingmu Kuang Star God. This Star God made Chen Lie's mental power sharp and very offensive, which was completely different from the soft mental power of ordinary first-level divine sense masters. If you were to make a comparison, it would be like the difference between tofu and fine steel.
"The Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter is indeed powerful. This Star God is not yet a Consciousness God. I wonder what changes will occur when I have cultivated all seven Star Gods and condensed a true Consciousness God, the Vermilion Bird Divine Form, within the Sea of Consciousness."
Ordinary Divine Sense Masters directly cultivate to the level of Consciousness God upon entering the next level. However, Chen Lie, due to the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter," cultivated to one-seventh of Consciousness God, while Jing Mu'an was a Star God.
Looking into his inner sea of consciousness, Chen Lie saw a majestic deity with a tiger's face and a deer's body sitting atop the constellation Jing.
Outsiders would certainly not be able to tell the difference and would mistake Jing Mu Kuang for Chen Lie's spiritual consciousness. In fact, Jing Mu Kuang is only a fragmented, miniature version of spiritual consciousness.
Each of the seven constellations in the southern sky can be considered an incomplete world of consciousness, so each constellation can cultivate a star god.
Once all seven Star Gods have completed their cultivation, they will become true Consciousness Gods residing in the Sea of Consciousness, the Vermilion Bird Divine Form.
Chen Lie got up and walked out of the training room.
The Blue Star Times saw the mother cooking in the kitchen while the younger sister watched TV on the sofa.
Ever since Chen Lie taught her the basic body-strengthening techniques, she has never watched martial arts experts analyze martial arts techniques again.
"Brother, you're out?" Chen Xingyao turned around immediately upon hearing the noise.
"Um!
""
"Brother, I saw on Dongchuan TV that there was discord among the members of your genius team, and that someone clashed with you face-to-face at the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament?" Chen Xingyao asked.
"It's nothing serious. The Martial Arts Association has already denied the rumors and handled the matter internally," Chen Lie said.
"Hmm, brother, I see the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament is still over a week away. Are you ready? How many places do you think you can get?"
"Naturally, it's number one."
"If he comes in first place, wouldn't he be the martial arts champion of the Three Rivers Region? Our Dongchuan has never produced a martial arts champion of the Three Rivers Region before!"
If her brother wins the title of champion in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, wouldn't her classmates be extremely envious of her?
"You two, come and eat!"
Feng Yuelan had already served dish after dish to the table and called the two siblings to eat.
The next morning, Chen Lie went to the Martial Arts Association's trading market and selected some resources that he could use, such as spiritual herbs that were over six hundred years old and martial arts treasures with powerful medicinal effects.
I have 2.9 million points, and I've used up more than 200,000 of them.
Upon arriving at the training grounds of the genius group, he found a cultivation room and further improved his strength.
Several resources boosted Chen Lie's Qi and Blood value to 1400 calories. However, due to insufficient martial arts resources, Chen Lie's original 10.5 times Qi and Strength value dropped slightly to a little over 10.4 times, resulting in a Qi and Strength value of 14711 jun.
Looking at the measured strength value, Chen Lie muttered, "It seems that the thousand-year-old elixir to stabilize the purity of qi and blood that Song Yixuan treated us to last time wasn't very effective!"
His strength is more than ten times greater than normal, so ordinary thousand-year-old elixirs would have very little effect on him.
"It seems that we should use these lower-level martial arts resources less in the future. After 10 times, it is easy for the energy value to drop, and it will be very difficult to improve it again."
Chen Lie turned to leave, but suddenly someone gently patted his shoulder.
"Captain Chen, what a coincidence! I can't believe I'm running into you here today."
Song Yixuan appeared before Chen Lie with her arms crossed.
"Is it strange to meet here?" Chen Lie asked rhetorically.
"Of course it's not surprising, because I've been waiting for you right here, Captain Chen. You haven't forgotten what you promised me when the three provinces met, have you?" Song Yixuan said.
"As a Dongchuan native, it's my duty to contribute to Dongchuan. Do you expect me to take the reward?"
"Hey, you're not going back on your word, are you? I did exactly as you asked, defeating my opponent in just three moves on the fighting stage, winning so beautifully."
"Alright, let's find a training room then."
Song Yixuan said with a grin, "I'm all ready, come with me!"
As she spoke, Song Yixuan led the way, taking Chen Lie into a private cultivation room.
"Come on, Captain Chen, it's time to fulfill your promise."
Song Yixuan crossed her legs and sat on the chair in the middle of the cultivation room.
Tell me what you want.
"What do you mean, what do you want? Didn't you promise me you'd help me complete the kidney refinement step?"
"Okay, but before that, I want to ask you, at the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament a week from now, do you plan to assist the first place winner, or stop outside the top ten?" Chen Lie asked.
"What do you mean?" Song Yixuan asked, puzzled.
"It means exactly what it says. If you want to win first place, come find me after the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament. I won't help the enemy before the battle."
