Spirit Blood Red Lotus

"All of you whose names were called just now, please follow me!"

After Wu Yunfei finished speaking, several students walked out of the crowd at the same time. Seeing that all the students had come out, Wu Yunfei led them out of the third-floor hall.

Zhao Hu stopped in front of Chen Lie and looked at Chen Lie, saying, "Brother Chen Lie, we've been randomly assigned to the same Training Department."

"What a coincidence! Let's go!" Chen Lie nodded and followed Wu Yunfei down the Second Comprehensive Teaching Building.

After walking for about ten minutes, a group of students followed Wu Yunfei to a training ground.

As Chen Lie walked along, he saw many students practicing martial arts in the Drill Ground. A middle-aged man wandered around and would scold students who were not practicing well.

Wu Yunfei found the middle-aged man and said, "Instructor He, nine people have been assigned to your First Training Department. Come and claim them."

The middle-aged man walked over and said, "Okay, thank you for your help, Instructor Wu."

As Wu Yunfei spoke, he took out a set of students' files. "Instructor He, these are the files of these students."

As he spoke, Wu Yunfei handed the student files to the middle-aged man for contact.

"Students, the person in front of you is Instructor He Lin. From now on, Instructor He Lin will be your subject instructor."

Say hello to your future martial arts instructors.

After Wu Yunfei spoke, several students greeted him, "Hello, Instructor He!"

Instructor He Lin nodded slightly, and Wu Yunfei said, "Instructor He, then I'll take my leave."

"Take care, Instructor Wu."

After watching Wu Yunfei leave, He Lin began to look down at the files of several trainees.

When he flipped through one of the trainees' files, he couldn't help but exclaim, "?"

He Lin looked up and asked, "Who is Chen Lie?"

Chen Lie stepped forward. "I am Chen Lie."

He Lin gave Chen Lie an approving look. "Hmm, you're very good. Your Strength Value is actually as high as 3.7 times. Very good. Keep it up."

If you encounter any difficulties in martial arts, feel free to ask me anytime.

Chen Lie nodded and stepped back.

"Our martial arts instruction time is from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. You can arrange your own time at other times."

If you ever gain some understanding of martial arts, you don't have to come to the martial arts training camp for guidance. In short, the Genius Training Camp respects your own training methods and will not force you to do anything.

He Lin finished speaking, he saw the nearest trainee in the training Drill Ground and said, "Chen Shangwu, go and show these new recruits around the training camp."

"Yes, instructor!"

Upon hearing the instructor's instructions, a student named Chen Shangwu walked over from the Drill Ground.

Chen Shangwu looked at the group and said, "You may all come with me."

Without waiting for a reply from the new trainees, Chen Shangwu turned and walked forward.

Upon arriving outside the Drill Ground, Chen Shangwu counted the number of people and said, "Listen up, you nine. This is No. 1 Training Field. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, the instructors will be here to give martial arts guidance."

If you encounter any difficulties in martial arts, you can come here to ask for advice and practice. Under normal circumstances, you can choose not to come.

North of Drill Ground No. 1, there's a very tall building where medicinal baths are used to refine one's qi and blood.

Each medicinal bath to refine your Qi and blood will cost anywhere from at least two hundred to over a thousand points, depending on your needs.

One girl answered, "Excuse me, senior, why are the prices for medicinal baths used to improve blood circulation so different?"

Chen Shangwu turned his head impatiently, but when he saw that the person asking the question was a pretty girl, his anger instantly subsided, and he patiently said, "Because the medicinal bath ingredients vary in price, the fees naturally differ."

Zhao Hu, who was next to Chen Lie, asked, "So, the instructor said that everyone gets 20,000 basic points per month. Are there any other ways to earn points besides that?"

Chen Shangwu's expression grew impatient again. He said, "Didn't the instructor tell you when you came in? Or did you just not pay attention?"

You're new here and you have so many questions. If I answer them all, how much time will it waste on me? Just find someone to ask tomorrow!

Seeing Chen Shangwu get angry, Zhao Hu could only smile awkwardly and shut his mouth.

Seeing Zhao Hu shut up, Chen Shangwu coldly glanced at the others, and his gaze softened slightly when he saw two of the girls who looked particularly attractive.

"That concludes my explanation of this area. I'll take you to the martial arts exchange area. Follow me!"

Chen Shangwu spoke, he walked ahead alone, with the others following behind.

After walking for a while, Chen Biwu led the group of new trainees to a grand hall.

He turned around and introduced, "This is the Martial Arts Academy. You can exchange martial arts techniques here. The martial arts techniques here are graded D, C, B..."

In addition to the level, you can also exchange for corresponding Psionic Crystal Card here.

"See that path behind the martial arts academy? Walk along this path for about twenty minutes, and you'll reach the Trading Market set up by the Martial Way Association."

The Trading Market is filled with all sorts of precious martial arts resources; anything there can be purchased with points.

"Does this Trading Market sell Martial Dao Rare Treasure?" the pretty girl asked at that moment.

Because it was a question from a pretty girl, Chen Shangwu wasn't impatient. Instead, he said, "Of course there are, but the price of Martial Dao Rare Treasure is almost always over 20,000 points. It's expensive, and unless you save up points for two months, you can't afford it."

However, accumulating points for two months means going two months without martial arts resources, at which point you'll definitely fall behind others in martial arts.

The girl asked, "Who asked you, senior, what level of skill have you reached?"

The students in the first cohort of the Genius Training Camp entered the Genius Training Camp six months earlier than us, so their abilities must be far superior to ours, right?

Chen Shangwu said, "My Blood Qi Value has exceeded 500 calories, and my Strength Value has also increased by nearly 3.5 times."

Based on overall strength, he can rank among the top fifty students in the Genius Training Camp.

"500 units of Blood Qi Value, that's amazing!"

The girl was amazed; 500 calories of Blood Qi Value that was more than twice hers.

Chen Shangwu said, "500 calories of Blood Qi Value is not unusual in the Genius Training Camp, but to reach 500 calories of Blood Qi Value while increasing Strength Value by 3.5 times is truly remarkable."

"Alright, I've finished introducing everything I needed to."

Remember, the 5th and 15th of each month are the days to collect basic points. You can bring your Student ID to the Training Camp Square to collect your monthly 20,000 points.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going!"

After Chen Shangwu finished speaking, he turned and left.

After Chen Shangwu left, the students looked at each other.

"Chen Lie, if I heard correctly, that senior student just said that we can collect 20,000 points on the 5th, which is the day after tomorrow?" Zhao Hu said.

"Yes."

"Finally, I'll have resources! 20,000 points! This time, I'm going to greatly increase my Blood Qi Value!" Zhao Hu chuckled.

"During the Blood-Qi Stage, you need to focus on the purity of your Qi and Blood. If your Strength Value can't keep up, it's better not to increase your Blood Qi Value at all," Chen Lie reminded him.

"Hehe, of course I understand. Strength Value is definitely the top priority, how could I neglect it?"

The environment at the Genius Training Camp is so good, I reckon my Blood Qi Value will double in less than six months.

As soon as Chen Shangwu left, the group of freshmen dispersed and went their separate ways.

Seeing that only he and Chen Lie were left, Zhao Hu said, "Chen Lie, it's lunchtime. How about we go try the martial arts at the Martial Artist Training Camp Restaurant?"

"No, you go ahead, I need to go to the Trading Market." Chen Lie shook his head.

"The Trading Market? Our 20,000 points haven't even been processed yet, what are you going to the Trading Market for?" Zhao Hu asked.

Chen Liedao, "I'll go collect the debt."

"Collecting debts? What debts? Does someone at the Trading Market owe you money?"

"I guess so!" Chen Lie nodded.

"Alright, I'll go with you. I'd like to see what the Martial Artist Association's Trading Market is like beforehand."

Chen Lie said, "Alright."

Then they followed the road from the martial arts academy to the Trading Market.

After walking for about half an hour, Chen Lie arrived at the Trading Market.

This time, Chen Lie simply showed his Student ID from the Genius Training Camp and went inside.

Seeing Chen Lie walking so casually down the long street of the Trading Market, Zhao Hu couldn't help but feel surprised. "Chen Lie, this isn't your first time here, is it?"

"The second time."

Without turning his head, Chen Lie walked directly towards the Divine Sense Master Exchange Meeting deep in the long street.

"No, why are you walking so fast? Can't you take your time and look around?"

Zhao Hu followed behind and said.

Chen Liedao, "I told you I'm going to collect debts. If you want to look around, you can go first."

"Let's do it together then. We can watch it later anyway."

And so, Chen Lie walked directly into the Divine Sense Master Exchange Meeting at the end of the long street.

Upon entering the plaza of the Divine Sense Master Exchange Meeting, Chen Lie arrived at the conference hall in the plaza.

As soon as I entered the conference hall, staff members immediately came up to me to inquire.

Hello, is there anything I can help you with?

Divine Sense Master Exchange Meeting are generally not open to the public.

Zhao Hu was taken aback. Divine Sense Master Exchange Meeting?

So, the Divine Sense Master from East River Province were operating here?

Zhao Hu whispered, "Chen Lie, this is where Divine Sense Master operate. What are we doing here?"

Chen Lie ignored him and instead said to the staff, "I'm looking for a man named Yan Fujun, the honorary president of the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association."

"Elder Yan? May I ask who you are?"

"My Chen Lie!" Chen Lie said directly.

"Chen Lie? What brings you to see Elder Yan?" the staff member asked.

He owes me one million points, and I'm here to collect.

"Oh, Elder Yan instructed us to do this. Please wait a moment. Elder Yan is not at the Trading Market right now. I'll contact him right away."

After the staff member finished speaking, they immediately contacted Elder Yan.

Two minutes later, a staff member approached Chen Lie and said, "Please wait a moment, Elder Yan said he'll be there shortly."

"Um."

Chen Lie nodded in agreement, found a chair in the conference hall, and sat down to wait.

Zhao Hu sat down with Chen Lie: "What's going on, Brother Chen Lie? You know the honorary president of the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association?"

"We've met once before," Chen Lie said.

"What?! You still call yourself from an ordinary family?"

"You even know such a big shot as the honorary president of the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association. What kind of background do you have?" Zhao Hu asked in shock.

"I have no connections, I just come from an ordinary family."

"If you come from an ordinary family, I wish I could come from an ordinary family like yours."

As soon as Chen Lie and Zhao Hu sat down, the staff brought over twice the amount of tea.

Zhao Hu carefully took the tea, sipped it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Excellent tea!"

After waiting for about an hour, an elderly man arrived at the conference hall accompanied by three staff members.

Upon seeing the elderly man, the staff in the conference hall quickly greeted him, "Elder Yan!"

The old man grunted in acknowledgment and asked, "Where is the person looking for me?"

At this moment, Chen Lie walked up, saw the old man, and said, "Elder Yan, I'm here to Martial Artist Association Points."

Elder Yan Fujun said, "You're really good at holding your temper. I told you to come see me in two days, and you waited for more than a week before finally coming to my office. I'll transfer one million points to you!"

As he spoke, Yan Fujun walked ahead and entered an office.

Chen Lie told Zhao Hu to wait for him outside, then went into the office with Yan Fujun.

At this moment, Zhao Hu was extremely puzzled. "One million points? Chen Lie is asking for one million points?"

He had already heard about the Martial Artist Association's points system, which was the same as the basic points for the Genius Training Camp.

A while ago, 1 point could be roughly converted into 3,000 Star Dollar, but generally no one would use points to exchange for Star Dollar.

At this rate, wouldn't one million points be equivalent to three billion Star Dollar?

"Holy crap, three billion Star Dollar? Just what kind of family does Chen Lie come from? How can he be even more arrogant than the direct descendants of the Zhao Family's main branch?"

Zhao Hu was immediately taken aback when he calculated the result.

Inside Yan Fujun's office, Yan Fujun took Chen Lie's Genius Training Camp Student ID from the Optical Computer and placed it on the Optical Computer's device.

"I'll transfer one million points to you. As for the Military Merit, I've discussed it with Chief Lu of East River Province. If it's inconvenient for you to collect them, I can convert Military Merit into two hundred thousand points for you. What do you think?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Okay!"

"That's fine, then I'll transfer 1.2 million Martial Artist Association Points to you."

As he spoke, Yan Fujun instructed the staff to begin the operation.

As soon as Chen Lie's Student Card connected to the Optical Computer, Chen Lie personal information appeared.

After looking at it, Yan Fujun couldn't help but ask, "Are you a student in the Genius Training Camp Phase Two?"

"Yes," Chen Lie nodded in agreement.

"Although I am the honorary president of the Martial Artist Association, to be frank, with your 200+ calorie Blood Qi Value plus 3.7 times your Strength Value..."

While you are certainly outstanding among the Genius Training Camp Phase Two, your martial arts aptitude is far inferior to your spiritual aptitude.

"So I must warn you, don't let martial arts interfere with your Mental Power cultivation; that would be penny-wise and pound-foolish," Yan Fujun said.

"Thank you for the reminder, I know what I'm doing," Chen Liedao.

Yan Fujun didn't say much in response to Chen Lie's comment.

Not long after, the staff gave Chen Lie's Genius Training Camp Student Card to Yan Fujun.

"Elder Yan, it's all set up."

Yan Fujun didn't take it, but said, "Alright, just give it to my young friend."

Upon hearing this, the staff member handed the Student Card back to Chen Lie.

"Chen Lie, I've already given you 1.2 million Martial Way Association points. You can spend them however you like."

"Okay, thank you very much Elder Yan."

If you still have any unresolved questions regarding Divine Sense Master, please feel free to contact me.

After Chen Lie finished speaking, he added, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Chen Lie put away his Student Card and then walked out of the office.

When Zhao Hu saw Chen Lie come out, he was about to speak when Chen Lie said directly, "Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu had no choice but to suppress his thoughts.

Once they were out of the conference hall, Zhao Hu finally couldn't help but ask, "Chen Lie, did you really get a million points?"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement.

"I just checked online. Yan Fujun was the previous president of the East River Province Martial Artist Association, and he is now the honorary president."

He's a very famous figure in East River Province. You actually managed to get a million points from him! That's impressive!

Zhao Hu was amazed. Being able to associate with such an important figure meant that Chen Lie's family background was also top-notch in East River Province, at least stronger than their Zhao Family's main branch.

Chen Lie simply said, "This is a debt they owe me; there's nothing surprising about it."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's take a walk around the Trading Market Trading Market and see what martial arts treasures they have."

Zhao Hu knew that Chen Lie probably didn't want to reveal his identity or background, so he didn't bring it up again.

"Alright!"

Chen Lie nodded. He would check out what resources were available at the Trading Market this time, and then buy them directly to increase his Blood Qi Value next time.

So Chen Lie and Zhao Hu looked through all the shops along the long street in the Trading Market.

Upon reaching a side street, in front of a shop, Chen Lie suddenly saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure and immediately stopped to take a closer look.

A girl with a high ponytail was seen selecting martial arts resources in front of a shop.

A soft female voice came from outside. "Boss, that's all. Two Tier 2 Exotic Beast Core, plus a three-hundred-year-old Spirit Blood Red Lotus. How many points will that cost in total?"

"Let me do the math: two Tier 2 Exotic Beast Meat Pill, one three-hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine, totaling 21,200 points."

Why is it so expensive?

The girl with the high ponytail was startled and asked, "Isn't a Tier 2 Exotic Beast Meat Pill worth around 500 points?"

The shopkeeper said, "Miss, Tier 2 Exotic Beast Meat Pill does indeed cost five or six hundred points, but the three-hundred-year-old Spirit Blood Red Lotus you chose is Spirit Medicine that replenishes energy. Just this one Spirit Medicine alone is worth over twenty thousand points."

The Spirit Medicine for replenishing energy this year are only slightly inferior to ordinary Martial Dao Rare Treasure.

"Huh? But wasn't a 300-year-old Spirit Medicine something you could buy for 16,000 points before?" the girl with the high ponytail asked.

The shop owner said, "That's true, but this Spirit Blood Red Lotus is a rare item among Spirit Medicine, and its effects are better than ordinary Spirit Medicine, so it's naturally several thousand points more expensive."

The girl with the high ponytail said somewhat shyly, "Um—I don't have enough points right now, boss, could you please reserve this Spirit Blood Red Lotus for me for three days?"

I can collect my 20,000 points for this month on the 5th. I can temporarily leave my Genius Training Camp Student ID with you.

"I'm sorry, this won't work!"

The 300-year-old Spirit Blood Red Lotus is a rare commodity. It just arrived today and will definitely sell out tomorrow. The Martial Artist Association does not allow us to hoard it for speculation.

You can wait for the next batch in two weeks.

The girl with the high ponytail said reluctantly, "But the next batch of Spirit Medicine might not include this Spirit Blood Red Lotus."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. You can borrow a few thousand points from your classmates while it's still not too late and leave your Student ID with me."

"I can decide to reserve this Spirit Blood Red Lotus for you during this time," the shopkeeper said.

The girl with the high ponytail gave a bitter smile. Given her current situation, where could she possibly borrow several thousand points?
