Is Wu Tianchen?

Song Yixuan murmured something, crumpled the documents in her hand into a ball, crushed them into powder, and casually scattered them into the air.

Chen Lie also noticed Song Yixuan's actions, but he didn't ask her anything.

Chen Lie was about to head to the bus stop to catch the Flying Bus when Song Yixuan suddenly called out to him, "Chen Lie, I have an airship. Let me give you a ride."

"Alright."

Chen Lie nodded and followed Song Yixuan to the airship outside the Martial Arts Hall hall square.

"Please, Chen Lie."

Upon arriving at the airship, Song Yixuan opened the cabin door and, with a charming smile, invited Chen Lie to get in.

Chen Lie didn't stand on ceremony and boarded the airship directly. Song Yixuan followed Chen Lie onto the airship.

On the airship, Song Yixuan asked, "Chen Lie, where do you want to go?"

"Go home!"

Chen Lie gave Song Yixuan his home address.

Song Yixuan activated the airship's intelligent driving function via voice command, causing the airship to automatically fly towards Chen Lie's home.

"Chen Lie, you said your master is a Divine Sense Grandmaster, so you must also be a Divine Sense Master, right?"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement.

"Apprentice Divine Sense Master?"

See for yourself!

Chen Lie immediately displayed his Divine Sense Master Certificate.

Song Yixuan picked up the Divine Sense Master Certificate and was shocked to see "Apprentice Divine Sense Master" and a Divine Sense Master Sea of Consciousness Score of 270,000.

"Wow, Chen Lie, that's a really high Sea of Consciousness Score! Your Sea of Consciousness Score of 270,000 must be unique in East River Province, right?"

This kind of Sea of Consciousness Score means that a spot in Starry Sky University has been reserved in advance.

Song Yixuan returned the Divine Sense Master Certificate to Chen Lie.

In the martial arts and Divine Sense Master world, there is an unwritten rule: Apprentice Divine Sense Master who reaches 250,000 points on the Sea of Consciousness Score list is equivalent to a Martial Artist has reached the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm in martial arts.

However, due to the scarcity of Divine Sense Master, even if Divine Sense Master's score does not meet this standard, even if they only have a score of 200,000, they still have a high probability of entering Starry Sky University.

With a score of 270,000, you're guaranteed admission to Starry Sky University.

Soon, the airship landed outside Chen Lie's house.

Song Yixuan opened the cabin door and helped Chen Lie off the airship, saying, "Chen Lie, shall I bring the Spirit Nourishing Flower to your house tomorrow for the transaction?"

"Okay." Chen Lie nodded.

"Well then, goodbye!"

Song Yixuan raised her arm and waved, then boarded the airship again.

Seeing the airship take off and leave, Chen Lie went straight home.

Upon returning home, Chen Lie's first action was to find a notebook and a pen, sit down at his desk, and begin writing diligently while recalling the body-refining methods from his memory.

As the deacon of Scripture Library Taia Star Province Martial Arts Academy, one of the Ten Great Star Provinces under the Central Galactic Empire, Chen Lie in his previous life had access to the most advanced cultivation methods.

Chen Lie had not carefully studied the second-rate martial arts cultivation methods of Taia Star Province from beginning to end. He knew several of them, but none of them were complete; most were just a move or two.

Even the second-rate body-refining methods of Taia Star Province have ways to break through to the Second Extreme Realm of Qi and Blood, and Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow.

Chen Lie recalled several body-refining methods, pieced them together, and wrote down a cultivation method by cutting out the beginning and the end.

He only wrote out the cultivation method for the first level of the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, and deleted all the methods before the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm and the way to break through to the Second Extreme Realm.

It took Chen Lie about an hour to finally finish writing down the "Starry Sky Body Refining Technique".

He examined the "Starry Sky Body Refining Technique" from beginning to end.

Just then, Chen Xingyao suddenly came out of the Practice Room at home.

Seeing Chen Lie at his desk seemingly writing something, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Write down some Outer Stars body-refining techniques in exchange for some resources."

Chen Lie got up and placed the written instructions in the drawer of his desk.

"How well are you familiarizing yourself with the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method that I taught you a few days ago?"

"I'm pretty familiar with it now. I just tried circulating my qi and blood using the Qi and blood circulation method from the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method."

I tested the Blood Qi Value again, and the Blood Essence Detector can no longer detect any deficiency in Qi and blood.

Chen Xingyao smiled happily; she had fully appreciated the value of the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method that her brother had taught her.

Thinking about how good her brother had been to her, and how disrespectful she had been to him before, she realized how much she had treated him.

Looking back now, I realize how awful I was.

"Come to the Practice Room, I'll teach you a few more things."

As he spoke, Chen Lie took the lead and walked into the Practice Room at home.

"Is there something else to teach me?"

Chen Xingyao was very puzzled.

Just how much does her brother know? She's already so skilled with so many things; if she learns more, who knows how amazing she'll become.

Chen Xingyao followed in Chen Lie's footsteps and arrived at the Practice Room behind Chen Lie.

Seeing that her brother was already sitting cross-legged on a futon in the middle of the Practice Room, Chen Xingyao quickly found a futon and sat cross-legged on it as well.

"What I'm going to teach you this time is a method of cultivating Mental Power."

"Mental Power cultivation method? Is that something that Divine Sense Master cultivate?" Chen Xingyao asked.

"Good."

"Um... I think I'll quit. I'm fine with focusing solely on martial arts; I don't want to be distracted."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingyao quickly replied.

Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want to become Divine Sense Master; it was just that she felt her brother had already taught her enough, and as an unqualified younger sister, she sincerely felt unworthy of it.

"The cultivation of Mental Power is an important part of martial arts. When martial arts reach a certain level, even if you are not Divine Sense Master, you will naturally come into contact with the cultivation of Mental Power."

Martial arts training and Mental Power training complement each other; Martial Artist with weak Mental Power will not go far on the path of martial arts.

Martial arts and Divine Sense Master are inherently one. Even if you don't cultivate Mental Power now, you will have to cultivate it later. There's no such thing as being solely focused on martial Mental Power, because Mental Power is also a form of martial arts.

"That's too much trouble, isn't it?"

"I don't find it troublesome, so why would you find it troublesome?"

No—

Chen Xingyao immediately shook her head, meaning she was afraid of causing trouble for her brother.

"Listen carefully, our Blue Star is merely an insignificant and barren planet under the jurisdiction of the Central Galactic Empire. To the vast Central Galactic Empire, it is nothing more than a speck of dust."

The Central Galactic Empire, comprising Ten Great Star Provinces and hundreds of star systems, rules over trillions of living beings.

What I am passing on to you today is the Mental Power cultivation method, a national treasure of the Central Galactic Empire, the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>.

"The <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>? Or a national-level ultimate technique? Brother, how do you know so many good things?" Chen Xingyao couldn't help but ask.

She now feels that her brother's claim of being guided by Outer Stars master is completely unfounded.

Who would have the time or inclination to teach so much valuable knowledge to a complete stranger?

"Don't ask about that. I'll tell you now, this <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter> is dozens of times more valuable than the <Qingwan Body Refinement Method> I taught you a few days ago."

You should know this without me saying it: never reveal it, even if you eventually set foot in the central star region of the Central Galactic Empire.

This national-level martial arts technique is a closely guarded secret even within the Central Galactic Empire, and only the most elite noble talents are qualified to access it.

Chen Xingyao nodded repeatedly.

"Very good, I will now pass on to you the secrets to unlocking Divine Sense and the first stage of the ' Star Constellation Cultivation Method ' from the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>."

Please comprehend this carefully. Once you successfully awaken your Divine Sense, I will guide you in creating your Consciousness Sea World, the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky.

You should listen carefully to the lesson.

As he spoke, Chen Lie began to dictate the early contents of the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>.

Chen Lie had no intention of holding back at all when it came to his younger sister.

In his past life, because of his poor martial arts performance, while his sister's grades had surpassed his before the second semester of her first year of high school, that was when his relationship with Chen Xingyao was at its worst, almost at its lowest point.

After Chen Lie finally managed to get into an ordinary martial arts university in the province, he spent very little time at home each year. Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Chen Xingyao's attitude towards Chen Lie was no longer as sharp as before, and she became much gentler.

Then Chen Xingyao was specially admitted to Starry Sky University. At that time, the two siblings only saw each other once or twice a year.

Perhaps because she had grown up, Chen Xingyao was no longer as willful as before. Knowing that her siblings were the two closest people to her besides her parents, she began to take the initiative to maintain her relationship with her brother. Whenever she saw Chen Lie, she would always call him "brother" very gently. Occasionally when she returned home, she would often ask her parents about her brother's situation and even save up the precious martial arts resources of Blue Star University to give to Chen Lie.

The reason Chen Lie was able to reach the Ranked Martial Artist with over 200 calories of Blood Qi Value in his previous life was largely due to the help of the rare Martial Dao Rare Treasure brought by Chen Xingyao from Blue Star University.

Chen Lie only felt that Chen Xingyao's goodwill was just an act, and he simply thought that Chen Xingyao's achievements far surpassed his own, and that Chen Xingyao was just pitying himself from a position of advantage.

He developed a sense of jealousy towards Chen Xingyao.

Later, because his younger sister offended a powerful and influential family on Blue Star Blue Star University, ruining their family's life, Chen Lie harbored deep resentment towards Chen Xingyao, considering her a troublemaker, and even threatened to kill his sister. "Why don't you just die?"

Chen Xingyao always faced the situation with tears in her eyes, repeatedly apologizing and saying, "I'm sorry."

In the end, after their parents perished, Chen Xingyao, the younger sister, gave him the only chance to escape and bestowed upon Chen Lie the extraordinary encounter she had obtained at the cost of her family's destruction. Only then did Chen Lie find peace.

It was because of his sister's extraordinary encounter that Chen Lie was able to live peacefully in the Central Galactic Empire for fifty years.

In their past life, Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao's sibling relationship was fraught with hardship. The main reason was Chen Xingyao's unruly behavior in the early stages and Chen Lie's immaturity and pettiness. However, the root cause was the huge gap in their martial arts aptitude.

Chen Lie dictated the secrets to unlocking Divine Sense and the "Star Constellation Cultivation Method" from the "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter" several times, explaining the parts that were difficult to understand.

After spending most of the day explaining, Chen Lie walked out of the Practice Room.

Chen Xingyao sat on the futon in the Practice Room, biting her lip as she watched Chen Lie leave.

She felt unworthy of such sincere treatment from her brother; she felt only shame.

Remembering her past terrible attitude towards her brother, she couldn't help but raise her hand and lightly slap her own face.

After finishing their meal, Chen Lie and his family of four sat down at the dining table to eat.

Everyone else was eating, but Chen Xingyao was holding a rice bowl, staring blankly at Chen Lie.

"Yaoyao, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and eat!"

Upon seeing this, Feng Yuelan immediately offered a reminder.

"Okay, I understand!"

Chen Xingyao quickly looked away and began to eat.

She had a thousand words she wanted to tell her brother, but she couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, Chen Lie said, "Dad, Mom, I have to go to Guannei Province the day after tomorrow, and I might not be able to come back on the same day."

"What are you going to do in the Guannei Province?" Feng Yuelan asked.

"The Genius Group organized a Genius Gathering from Chuanshan Eight Provinces, and I went with the group."

"Okay, since it's organized by the Provincial Youth Genius Group, then we should go."

I'll have your dad give you a Star Dollar Card later; you might find it useful.

Chen Lie declined, saying, "No need, the Genius Group will arrange everything."

After finishing his meal, Chen Lie returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and continued cultivating the Star Constellation Cultivation Method of the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>.

After a night of cultivation, Chen Lie discovered that a secondary star of the first of the seven constellations of the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky, Well Constellation, suddenly began to twinkle faintly.

This discovery struck Chen Lie as particularly unusual.

"As expected, the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>, as the national treasure of the Central Galactic Empire, is far from simple."

After forming the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky, the Star Constellation Cultivation Method has even deeper levels.

After daybreak, Chen Lie did not stop cultivating, but continued cultivating until noon.

Suddenly, his Communicator rang.

Chen Lie got out of bed and answered the call.

"Chen Lie, the 1,000 jin of Spirit Nourishing Flower you requested have arrived. I'm right outside your door now."

A clear and pleasant voice came from the Communicator.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Chen Lie tidied himself up and left the room, opening the door behind him.

Stepping outside his house, Chen Lie saw a white airship.

Suddenly, the airship opened its hatch, and Song Yixuan stepped out.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Song Yixuan smiled and waved, then manipulated the airship to open its cargo hold.

Chen Lie walked over at this moment. When Song Yixuan saw Chen Lie coming, she immediately said, "Chen Lie, come and help me move this!"

A thousand catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower. Although that weight is nothing to us martial artists, the packaging of these Spirit Nourishing Flower is complicated. Each catty is in a special crystal box. Even if the two of us carry them together, it will take us more than ten minutes to move them all.

Chen Lie arrived at Feiban's cargo hold, glanced inside, and found dozens of cargo boxes.

He scanned the contents of the twenty-two crates with his divine sense and indeed discovered them.

Inside the cargo box were fifty crystal boxes, each containing an equal weight of Spirit Nourishing Flower.

As Song Yixuan said, almost every crystal box contained a Spirit Nourishing Flower.

"Let's start moving."

Chen Lie nodded. He took two boxes directly from the airship's cargo hold, went into his house, and placed the two boxes of Spirit Nourishing Flower in his Practice Room.

Furthermore, Song Yixuan was instructed to place the Spirit Nourishing Flower in the Practice Room.

Chen Lie carried two boxes each time, while Song Yixuan carried only one box each time.

Ten minutes later, the two carried all 1,000 jin of Spirit Nourishing Flower into Chen Lie's Practice Room.

Without waiting for Chen Lie to greet her, Song Yixuan sat down directly on the living room sofa.

"Chen Lie, these twenty-two boxes of Spirit Nourishing Flower weigh more than a thousand catties, with about a hundred catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower extra."

The buyer is very sincere, offering more for the same price. I hope you won't tamper with the <Starry Sky Body Refining Technique>, deliberately leaving flaws or removing key cultivation methods.

The goods have arrived. When are you going to pay?

Chen Lie quietly walked to the desk next to the living room, took a notebook from the drawer, and tossed it to Song Yixuan in front of the living room sofa.

"This is what you wanted."

Song Yixuan received the notebook and eagerly opened it to check its contents.

She was completely absorbed in it after just a few moments.

This cultivation method details numerous secrets for breaking through the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, Skin Refining, Muscle Refining, Tendon Refining, Bone Refining, Viscera Refining, and Blood Refining; it is profound and unpredictable.

After just one reading, she was able to identify the mistakes she had made in her cultivation at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm.

After more than half an hour, Song Yixuan had read through the "Starry Sky Body Refining Technique" in its entirety, and only one thought remained in her mind.

This deal was worth it!

She carefully put the notebook away and asked Chen Liedao curiously, "Chen Lie, aren't you going to check the goods?"

"There's no need. I trust your character."

"Woolen cloth?"

Song Yixuan found Chen Lie's words somewhat strange.

She had only met Chen Lie a few times. A thousand catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower would be impossible to buy on Blue Star, even with a hundred billion Star Dollar. How could he say he trusted her for such a huge transaction?

However, the Spirit Nourishing Flower she presented were genuine, and in even greater quantities.

"Alright then, since Chen Lie isn't going to inspect the goods, I'll take my leave."

No need to see me out.

Song Yixuan nodded slightly, then left Chen Lie's house.

Chen Lie went to the Practice Room and glanced at the thousand catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower piled in the corner.

Because he has other things to do tomorrow, he definitely won't have time to use the Spirit Nourishing Flower to cultivate the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter> today, so he can only leave these Spirit Nourishing Flower in the Practice Room.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Chen Lie left home and boarded Flying Bus for the Martial Artist Association at a bus stop near his house.

Today is the day of the Eight Provinces Genius Gathering, and the Genius Group is required to attend.

When Chen Lie arrived at the Martial Artist Association, he found a large airship parked outside the plaza of the Martial Artist Association Building.

A large number of people were waiting beside the airship.

Chen Lie immediately recognized that most of the people next to the airship were members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group, so Chen Lie walked over as well.

After a while, a young man in his early thirties came out of the airship and began taking attendance.

After taking attendance, the young man said, "Fellow students, I am Jiang Xiaodong, appointed by the Martial Artist Association to be in charge of matters related to the Provincial Youth Genius Group."

We will depart promptly at 7:00 AM and are expected to arrive in Cloud River Province by 8:30 AM. In Cloud River Province, we will meet up with the members of the Cloud River Province and West River Province Genius Group, and then depart from Cloud River Province to travel together from the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong to the Guannei Province to participate in the Eight Provinces Genius Gathering.

"Now, board the airship in turn."
