Wuqu Star Incarnate

Chen Ye was helped up by Chen Gequn: "Third Uncle, as you know, I had a mishap while practicing martial arts recently, which caused my qi and blood to become weak."

Although he recovered later with the help of his uncle's Blood Mist Flower, it left him with significant aftereffects.

Didn't my cousin Chen Lie also experience unstable Qi and Blood when his Blood Qi Value was around 40?

After receiving guidance from a master, not only did his vital energy return to normal, but he also made great progress in martial arts.

Third Uncle, I beg you to ask my cousin Chen Lie to introduce me to that master. If the aftereffects of my qi and blood deficiency cannot be resolved, my martial arts will definitely be ruined.

"This-"

Chen Gequn hesitated. Chen Lie's unstable qi and blood was something he had faked himself, and he had never had any expert to guide him. He could only say, "Chen Ye, Chen Lie's unstable qi and blood has nothing to do with the guidance of an expert. He recovered it through his own cultivation and conditioning. Even if you find any expert, it will be of no use."

Upon hearing this, Chang Guirong's expression changed, but she still forced herself to speak, "Gequn, are you really unwilling to help your nephew?"

"Second sister-in-law, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's that I really can't."

Chen Gequn could only give this answer; he knew his limits and naturally wouldn't reveal his son's secret.

The group was talking so intently that they didn't notice Chen Lie pushing the door open and entering.

It wasn't until Chen Lie walked into the living room and said, "Dad, you're back?"

At this moment, all eyes were on Chen Lie.

Chen Gequn replied, "Yes, I just got home an hour ago. Your second son specially went to Cloud River Province to pick me up."

At this moment, Chen Guangqun stood up and said, "Chen Lie, I saw in the official media of East River Province that you have been shortlisted for the Provincial Youth Genius Group?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Yes."

Chen Guangqun's eyes flickered.

Joining the Provincial Youth Genius Group was something even Chen Ying hadn't accomplished, yet Chen Lie had actually succeeded.

Recalling Chen Lie's past poor aptitude, he finally believed that the expert who helped Chen Lie transform himself could also help Chen Ye.

Feng Yuelan then noticed Luo Zhixun behind Chen Lie and asked, "Son, this is Luo Zhixun." She was initially confused by the messy scene in the living room, but after hearing Chen Lie call her "Dad" and seeing Feng Yuelan address Chen Lie as her son, she immediately recognized Chen Lie's parents. She then greeted Feng Yuelan and Chen Gequn, saying, "Auntie, Uncle, hello. My name is Luo Zhixun. I'm Chen Lie's friend, and like Chen Lie, I'm a member of the Dongchuan Province Youth Talent Group."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuelan immediately became enthusiastic. "So you're also a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group, Zhixun, right? Chen Lie is new here, so I'll have to ask you to take care of him."

Luo Zhixun nodded and said, "Chen Lie is also very outstanding. We should be looking out for each other."

"That's wonderful! I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare anything in advance. How about this, I'll cook a meal to treat you, and we can have a meal together?"

"No, Auntie, I've already eaten at the training area." Luo Zhixun quickly shook her head and refused.

The house was a mess, and with so many relatives around, Feng Yuelan didn't insist. She said, "Alright then, you must come over for a meal sometime."

Luo Zhixun nodded and said "Mmm".

"Are these members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group?"

Chang Guirong also looked at Luo Zhixun at this moment.

The members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group are rumored to be incredibly talented among the general public in East River Province, as if they were all Wuqu Star Incarnate from heaven.

My nephew Chen Lie suddenly became rich, like a nouveau riche, nothing special. But this Luo Zhixun doesn't seem to have the extraordinary abilities people say she has. So why was she selected for the Provincial Youth Genius Group?

Chen Ye's eyes lit up when he saw Luo Zhixun's beautiful and refined appearance.

To be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group, one's martial arts aptitude must be extremely high. How could Chen Lie, a martial arts failure, possibly befriend such a beautiful Heavenly Pride Daughter if he hadn't gotten lucky?

Chen Ye was insanely jealous of Chen Lie.

"Auntie, I just heard that Chen Lie's cousin suffered from qi and blood deficiency, which left him with sequelae." Luo Zhixun said to Feng Yuelan, "In fact, if martial arts training does not focus on the progress of Strength Value, but only greedily pursues the rapid increase of Blood Qi Value, it is easy to cause qi and blood instability and develop into qi and blood deficiency."

Although a deficiency of Qi and blood can be cured with appropriate Martial Dao Rare Treasure, it will leave serious sequelae and make it difficult to fully recover.

Coincidentally, my father knows a famous Martial Dao Conditioner. I can introduce you to him and help Chen Lie's cousin regulate his qi and blood.

I believe that after treatment by this renowned therapist, even if the body's Qi and blood cannot be fully restored, they will certainly recover to about 80-90% of their original state.

As she spoke, Luo Zhixun asked Chen Lie to find paper and pen and gave Chen Lie therapist's contact information.

"I'll have my father put in a good word. When you contact this therapist, just mention my name."

Luo Zhixun smiled slightly.

That sweet smile captivated Chen Ye instantly.

This female member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group showed me great care as soon as we met, wanting to treat the aftereffects of my unstable blood and qi.

Could it be that she likes me? That she fell in love with me at first sight?

Thank you.

Chen Lie accepted the therapist's contact information and nodded.

"You're welcome."

Luo Zhixun looked at Chen Lie's parents. "Uncle, Aunt, I have martial arts practice this afternoon, so I won't disturb you."

After Luo Zhixun finished speaking, she said goodbye to Chen Lie Chen Lie and left his house.

Feng Yuelan and Chen Gequn saw Luo Zhixun off together and watched her Luo Zhixun the airship.

As the airship took off, Feng Yuelan suddenly said, "The airship's serial number seems to start with 0000?"

Chen Gequn said, "Most of the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group are either rich or powerful. It's obvious that Chen Lie's friend also comes from a privileged background; he's the child of a East River Province."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Gequn turned to look at Chen Guangqun's family who had come out with him and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, there is now a solution for Chen Ye's aftereffects, so please don't make things difficult for us."

Chen Lie, give the therapist's contact information to your second uncle.

Chen Lie nodded and handed the contact information that Luo Zhixun had written down to Chen Guangqun.

Chen Guangqun obtained the method to treat Chen Ye's blood and qi sequelae, and couldn't help but exchange a glance with Chang Guirong.

In this way, they seemed to have no reason to ask Chen Lie's family to introduce experts to Chen Ye anymore.

After a moment of silence, Chang Guirong and her family left Chen Lie's house.

Back home, Chen Lie sat on the sofa in the living room with his parents.

"Chen Lie, I saw the announcement that you were shortlisted for the Provincial Youth Genius Group when I was working in Cloud River Province."

Your martial arts achievements have already surpassed those of your cousin Chen Ying.

Chen Gequn looked at Chen Lie with a sense of relief in his eyes.

"Dad, getting into the Provincial Youth Genius Group is just the beginning. I still have to go to Blue Star University and Starry Sky University in the future. Just take it easy."

Hearing his son's outrageous words, Chen Gequn did not deny them. Chen Lie was not wrong. It was a certainty that he would be specially admitted to Blue Star University, and there was indeed a certain probability that he would be admitted to Starry Sky University.

He said earnestly, "Chen Lie, I know you are now considered one of the most outstanding young people in East River Province. My colleagues at the company have been full of praise for you since they learned that you were promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group. They even said you are the reincarnation of the Wuqu Star."

However, Dad still wants to give you a piece of advice: no matter how high your achievements are, you must never be arrogant or conceited. Remember, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your reach.

"I know," Chen Lie nodded.

"I told you before the New Year that I'd host a banquet to celebrate your selection as Provincial Youth Genius Group, but let's postpone it. You saw how envious your Second Aunt is. If we really hold another banquet, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause."

"It's alright, not holding a banquet saves me trouble. There will be plenty of opportunities to hold a banquet in the future." Chen Lie nodded.

In the evening, Chen Xingyao returned from the Martial Arts Hall. Upon seeing Chen Xingyao's return, Chen Lie immediately took Chen Xingyao to the Practice Room to examine the progress of Chen Xingyao's cultivation of the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method and to provide corrections for any shortcomings.

That evening, Chen Lie had dinner with his family and then went back to his room.

As soon as Chen Lie entered the room, he heard a Green Bubble notification sound.

Chen Lie immediately took out his Communicator and opened Green Bubble, only to find that it was a message from the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

Old Master: "Classmates, a new member will be joining us tomorrow."

In addition, the date for the Genius Gathering from Chuanshan Eight Provinces is approaching. The selection of attendees will be decided tomorrow, and everyone should assemble at the training ground at 8:00 AM tomorrow.

Because the number of members in the Provincial Youth Genius Group is very small, no one replied that they received the message.

After reading the notification, Chen Lie tossed the Communicator aside.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating the Star Constellation Cultivation Method of the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter> once again.

The night passed quickly. When Chen Lie stopped cultivating the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>, he glanced at the time and saw that it was already seven o'clock in the morning.

Chen Lie left the room, casually took a piece of Nutrient Bread from the refrigerator, and boarded the Flying Bus to the training ground of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

About twenty minutes later, the Flying Bus landed at a station not far from the training ground. After getting off the Flying Bus, Chen Lie immediately headed towards the training ground.

Just as Chen Lie entered the training ground, two young men came out from the gate and blocked Chen Lie way.

"Kid, where do you think you're going?"

Chen Lie glanced at the two people blocking his way and said, "What do you two want?"

"How about it?" The young man in front chuckled, then his expression turned fierce, and he said menacingly, "I'm warning you, don't be so arrogant. You're just a newly selected member of the Provincial Genius Group. Compared to others, you may think you're superior, but here you're just at the bottom."

If you don't want to cause trouble, stay away from Luo Zhixun from now on.

"Oh? You want me to stay away from Luo Zhixun? Who do you think you are, daring to spout such nonsense in front of me?"

Chen Lie looked at the two young men in front of him. He recognized the one in front as Lu Qingyun, but he had never seen the one behind him before, though he was definitely a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

"You're really arrogant!" Lu Qingyun snorted coldly and said, "Then let me tell you who I am. I am a direct descendant of the Dongchuan Lu Family. I have been a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group for half a year now. In last month's martial arts competition, I came in sixth place."

Your proud 1,000 kcal of Blood Qi Value is less than half of Blood Qi Value.

"Oh? That's impressive? Let me make a call."

Chen Lie expressionlessly pulled out his Communicator.

Lu Qingyun scoffed, "Try to pull all the strings you want. I want to see what kind of connections you can come up with and whether they can intimidate me."

"Okay, you wait."

Chen Lie dialed a Communicator number directly.

A moment later, the Communicator connected, and Chen Lie said, "I've run into some trouble, right outside the training ground gate."

After exchanging a few words on the other end of the Communicator, Chen Lie added, "You'll see when you come out."

Finally, he replied with a "Okay".

Lu Qingyun felt that Chen Lie's voice on the Communicator sounded familiar, so he asked, "Kid, who are you looking for?"

You'll find out in a minute.

"One minute?"

Lu Qingyun was puzzled.

Soon, Luo Zhixun walked out of the training ground gate.

Seeing Lu Qingyun and another member blocking the training ground gate, she instantly understood and shouted, "Lu Qingyun, what are you trying to do!"

"Zhi- Zhixun?"

Upon seeing Luo Zhixun suddenly appear, Lu Qingyun felt a surge of disgust.

Luo Zhixun approached Chen Lie and asked, "Chen Lie, did Lu Qingyun make things difficult for you?"

"It's alright, he just told me to stay away from you."

Luo Zhixun glared angrily at Lu Qingyun: "Lu Qingyun, you're really meddling in other people's business. Even my father doesn't interfere with my social life, but you're meddling in it."

I'm warning you, if you cause Chen Lie any more trouble in any form, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Lu Qingyun said incredulously, "Zhixun, we've been friends for so many years, how can you turn against me for an outsider?"

Luo Zhixun said coldly, "We only interacted during official business between our elders; we were just nodding acquaintances. Don't exaggerate."

We're like oil and water, never interfering with each other. I can be kind and gentle to you, but if you interfere with my social life or deliberately make things difficult for my friends, don't blame me for turning my back on you.

Lu Qingyun's face turned pale and then red. He never expected that his sincerity over the years would be less valuable than that of a stranger.

Having said all she needed to say, Luo Zhixun ignored Lu Qingyun and instead Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, come with me into the training area."

"Good."

Chen Lie nodded and entered the training ground with Luo Zhixun.

Upon entering the training ground, Luo Zhixun instructed, "Chen Lie, if Lu Qingyun causes you any more trouble, you must tell me."

Chen Liedao, "Fine, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

"Hmm." Luo Zhixun said, "Actually, Lu Qingyun is more than half a year older than me."

When I first joined the Provincial Youth Genius Group, Lu Qingyun was already among the top ten members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

Later, my martial arts skills continued to improve, and about two months ago, my strength surpassed that of Lu Qingyun.

After that, Lu Qingyun kept pestering me, even affecting my martial arts practice time to some extent.

He probably feels that you are more capable than him and is worried that he won't be able to hold onto you in the future, so he couldn't wait to reveal his feelings to you and wanted to quickly establish a relationship with you.

"I really don't have that kind of thought at all. Besides, this age is a crucial time for cultivating martial arts. Anyone with a bit of ambition wouldn't have such thoughts at this time."

"Lu Qingyun's harassment has caused me a lot of trouble, so I've been giving him negative feedback these past few times to get him to give up his unrealistic ideas," Luo Zhixun said.

Chen Lie nodded and listened to Luo Zhixun's story as they arrived at the gathering place of the Genius Group members.

The gathering place for the Genius Group members was already packed with people.

Not long after Chen Lie arrived at the location, Gu You arrived as well.

Gu You arrived, he announced, "Classmates, I announced in the group chat yesterday that a new member would be joining today."

Now, let me introduce our newest member, Song Yixuan.
