Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter

Chen Lie pushed the door open and walked into his home, immediately spotting Chen Xingyao half-reclined on the sofa, watching an expert analyze martial arts on television.

Seeing Chen Lie, Chen Xingyao cast a sidelong glance at him and asked, "Chen Lie, why didn't you go to the 'Blood Essence Value Sprint Class' Mom signed you up for today?"

Chen Lie replied, "I was held up by some things today."

"What could you possibly have to do? Don't tell me you went to the Virtual Experience Pavilion with your friends again?" Chen Xingyao asked suspiciously.

Chen Lie merely shook his head: "I truly had other matters to attend to."

"Even if you had the most important business in the world, you shouldn't have skipped the 'Blood Essence Value Sprint Class.' Do you have any idea how many Star Dollars a single session costs?"

Chen Lie knew he couldn't explain it clearly to his younger sister, so he simply nodded and said, "I know. I'm tired from training today, so I'm going back to my room to rest. Don't call me for dinner later."

With that, Chen Lie walked into his room and locked the door behind him.

Seeing that Chen Lie hadn't taken her words to heart at all, Chen Xingyao was instantly incensed. She followed him, only to find the door already locked, so she immediately headed to the kitchen to tattle.

"Mom, you really need to do something about Chen Lie; he's being completely unreasonable!"

Chen Lie turned a deaf ear to the events outside his door. Once inside his room, he casually placed the twenty catties of raw exotic beast meat and two catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower on the table beside his bed.

He then sat cross-legged on the bed.

Since Chen Lie had promised Zhao Jinglan he would resolve her mental power issues by tomorrow morning, he had to successfully awaken his Divine Sense today, cultivate mental power within his sea of consciousness, and become a reserve Divine Sense Master.

The cultivation of mental power was of paramount importance; if one wished to go far on the path of martial arts, the cultivation of mental power could not be neglected.

The first step to becoming a Divine Sense Master was to awaken the Divine Sense.

Humans possess six senses: touch, smell, hearing, sight, taste, and the Divine Sense.

The vast majority of people in the world are born with only five senses, and they spend their entire lives unable to awaken the Divine Sense, thus failing to qualify as a Divine Sense Master.

Within Chen Lie's mind lay an incredibly powerful mental cultivation technique. This was a technique classified by the Central Galactic Empire as a national treasure, housed within the Taia Star Province Martial Arts Academy. It was a closely guarded secret, accessible only to the top-tier cosmic-level prodigies within the academy.

In his past life, Chen Lie was merely a minor deacon in the Scripture Library. By all rights, he should never have been able to touch such a supreme technique, but he had signed a life-contract with the Martial Arts Academy. Before signing, he had undergone layers of screening by the academy to ensure that the martial arts classics in the Scripture Library would never be leaked through him.

From the perspective of the Martial Arts Academy, Chen Lie was nothing more than a conscious tool, which was how he gained access to this top-tier Central Galactic Empire mental cultivation technique known as the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter.

Chen Lie pondered carefully over the star-viewing meditation method that opened the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter. He closed his eyes and began to visualize.

Chen Lie emptied his mind, his consciousness drifting through the hazy spiritual world, circle after circle.

As time passed, the hazy spiritual world within his mind gradually began to clear.

With a "bang," a sound seemed to resonate from the depths of Chen Lie's soul, as if a layer of frosted glass on the surface of his spiritual world had suddenly shattered.

Chen Lie immediately opened his eyes; at this moment, he felt his hearing and vision were sharper, and his spirit was greatly invigorated.

"The Divine Sense has been successfully awakened!"

Chen Lie stepped off the bed and took out the two catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower he had obtained from Zhao Jinglan, the CEO of the Sunlight Group.

He boiled a pot of water, divided the two catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower into three portions, and drank them in batches.

Immediately following this, Chen Lie sat cross-legged on the bed once more. Following the star-viewing meditation method of the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter, he began to circulate his mental power to forge the sea of consciousness he had just formed.

The two catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower entered his stomach, providing Chen Lie with an endless stream of pure mental energy.

Once the star-viewing meditation sequence was complete, Chen Lie's sea of consciousness formed a pitch-black world, within which seven dim star points flickered in and out of existence.

According to the star-viewing meditation method, these seven dim star points represented seven constellations: Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen.

Among them, the first constellation, Jing, consisted of eight stars, though these eight stars were extremely dim, as if they were about to extinguish at any moment.

Chen Lie circulated the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter's star-viewing meditation, guiding the pure mental energy brought by the Spirit Nourishing Flower to strengthen the eight stars of the Jing constellation.

Before long, the first of the eight stars in the Jing constellation was lit by Chen Lie, its radiance becoming brilliant.

Chen Lie dared not slacken, continuing to guide the mental energy from the Spirit Nourishing Flower to light the second star of the Jing constellation.

He did not know how much time had passed, but Chen Lie felt the power of the Spirit Nourishing Flower growing weaker and weaker. It was not until he lit the eighth star of the Jing constellation that the medicinal efficacy of the Spirit Nourishing Flower was finally fully absorbed.

Chen Lie performed an internal inspection and saw that among the seven constellations in his sea of consciousness, six remained dim and lightless, while only the first, the Jing constellation, shone brilliantly, its stars arranged in a web-like pattern.

"Two catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower were only enough to light up one of the seven constellations."

Chen Lie stepped off the bed and looked at the sky, realizing that an entire night had passed.

Having successfully forged his sea of consciousness and gained the ability to circulate mental power, he had now become a reserve Divine Sense Master.

Walking out of his house, Chen Lie immediately spotted a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old waiting at his door.

Seeing Chen Lie, the girl greeted him with a radiant smile.

"Senior, you've come out?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Why didn't you go inside and wait?"

"I was afraid of disturbing you."

Chen Lie said, "Then let's go together."

The girl was none other than Li Xianyu, who had made an appointment with Chen Lie yesterday.

Although she had Chen Lie's contact information, Li Xianyu hadn't dared to disturb him, so she had come to wait outside his house early in the morning.

Chen Lie arrived at the bus stop, dropped his coins, and boarded the flying bus, with Li Xianyu following closely behind him.

After the flying bus had been cruising through the air for half an hour, it arrived at the location of the Sunlight Tower, the most prosperous district in Dongchuan Province.

At this moment, the flying bus touched down and came to a halt, and Chen Lie said to Li Xianyu beside him, "Let's get off."

"Oh!"

Li Xianyu immediately followed Chen Lie off the flying bus.

The moment she stepped off, a thousand-meter-tall building piercing the clouds came into her view.

"This is... the headquarters of the Sunlight Group?"

As a native of Dongchuan Province, it was impossible for Li Xianyu not to know about the Sunlight Group; the nutrient solutions in her home and the supplements her sister used were almost all produced by them.

Although the nutritional products from the Sunlight Group were a bit more expensive than other brands, they were truly worth the price.

Seeing Chen Lie head straight toward the Sunlight Tower the moment he stepped off the bus, Li Xianyu couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you going to the Sunlight Group on business?"

"Mn, just follow behind me," Chen Lie said.

Li Xianyu nodded; she had never been to a place like this before and couldn't help but feel constrained.

When Chen Lie and Li Xianyu reached the entrance of the Sunlight Tower, two security guards immediately blocked their path.

"Halt. This is the Sunlight Group; unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering."

At this moment, a woman in a formal suit hurried over to the scene.

"You are truly blind! Mr. Chen is an honored guest of the President. How did I instruct you yesterday?

Why aren't you making way for Mr. Chen Lie yet?"

The two security guards retreated to the sides with sheepish expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Chen, please come with me."

The woman in the formal suit guided Chen Lie into the lobby on the first floor of the Sunlight Tower.

Li Xianyu followed behind Chen Lie, feeling somewhat uneasy; she never imagined that Chen Lie would be an honored guest of the Sunlight Group's president.

That was the Sunlight Group, a mountain so high that it was unreachable for every person in Dongchuan Province.

"Mr. Chen, the President is in the executive office on the twenty-eighth floor; you may go straight in.

As for your friend here, let her wait in the reception room for a while. How does that sound?"

Chen Lie turned his head to look at Li Xianyu, nodded, and said, "That is fine."

"That's good. Please, follow me."

The woman in the formal suit winked at Li Xianyu, who immediately understood and followed her toward the reception room.
