Starry Sky University
Chen Lie did not believe that a student from the Ten-Star Alliance who was studying at Starry Sky University would not recognize the Profound Yang Golden Marrow, a kind of Innate Spiritual Object.
Judging from his tentative tone, could it be that he guessed I didn't recognize the Profound Yang Golden Marrow and wanted to snag a bargain at a low price?
Chen Lie naturally wouldn't give a friendly look to someone with ill intentions, simply saying, "Isn't it just a box you're carrying?"
Helian Jingtao then asked, "What I'm asking is, what's inside the box?"
"What is it? How could someone like you, from Suyun Star and a student at Starry Sky University, not know?"
Helian Jingtao's expression changed slightly, and he continued, "I'm a bit blind; I only glanced at it briefly and didn't really recognize what it was."
"If you haven't recognized it, why are you asking? Then let me tell you, what's in this box is Innate Spiritual Object, Stellar Treasure, that would be hard to buy even for tens of millions of Star-Origin Galactic Coins."
Now you know, right?
Helian Jingtao was suddenly startled.
He actually knew it contained Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow? He knew the value of Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow.
This way, he wouldn't be able to snatch the deal at a lower price.
The Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow, a type of Innate Spiritual Object, is only seen once every few years in the Canglan Star Domain. Although it is worth over ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins, it is sometimes impossible to buy even with ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins.
Such rare treasures are only available to the top-tier nobles of the Upper Three Stars the Canglan Star Domain, who can purchase them from outer space. For others, they are extremely rare and hard to come by; even with tens of millions of Star-Origin Galactic Coins, it is not guaranteed that they can buy them.
"Young brother, it seems you also know that what you have in your hand is the Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow."
The Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow is used by Martial Artist to cultivate True Qi. Its power is immense. Even those who have reached the Great Extreme Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage and opened their Heaven Aperture can only barely use it when they reach the third level of the True Qi Realm, the ' Qi Condensation Infusion Stage ' stage. It is not something you can use now.
"I'm willing to exchange you for something of equal value: SSSS-Rank Martial Art, advanced Qi Gong cultivation methods, and all sorts of martial arts resources you can use. Are you willing?"
"I don't want to!"
Without a second thought, Chen Lie resolutely refused.
The value of the Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow cannot be compared with that of the Profound Yang Golden Marrow, which was the key to his cultivation of Pure Profound Yang Golden Marrow Pure Yang Precious Blood.
Only by cultivating Pure Yang Precious Blood can he possibly reach 15 times the Strength Value and step into the Third Ultimate Realm of Blood-Qi Stage.
Chen Lie was well aware of his own aptitude. If he couldn't lay a perfect foundation in the Blood-Qi Stage, he would have almost no hope of breaking through to the realm above the Heavenly Human Grandmaster. The highest realm he could reach in his life would be the tenth level of Martial Artist. Therefore, the Profound Yang Golden Marrow was something he could not afford to lose.
Furthermore, the SSSS-Rank Martial Art Qi Gong techniques that Helian Jingtao mentioned were of little use to him.
Upon hearing Chen Lie's refusal, Helian Jingtao quickly added, "Young brother, won't you reconsider? Besides, I can give you a large amount of Galactic Coin, so that you won't have to worry about martial arts resources after entering Starry Sky University."
"You don't need to waste your breath; I will never trade with you for this."
"Ten million Galactic Coin!"
Helian Jingtao said solemnly, "I am willing to offer ten million Galactic Coin to purchase your Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow."
You can check the price of Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow. In the Canglan Star Domain, Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow is almost always priced at ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins.
Ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins is the full price of Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow, exceeding one-tenth of your Blue Star's annual income. As long as you agree, I can guarantee that ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins will be credited to your Canglan Star Yuan account within three days."
Ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins is a huge sum of money for his family.
Although Helian Jingtao was born on Suyun Star, one of the Ten-Star Alliance in the Canglan Star Domain, and was a member of one of the most prominent and powerful families on Suyun Star, he was only a member of a collateral branch.
He made a huge decision to offer ten million Star Dollar.
Ten million Galactic Coin is no small sum. Galactic Coin are the common currency of the Central Galactic Empire. He had to ask his parents for help, and for them, it represented half a lifetime's savings.
Chen Lie waved his hand dismissively. "I need this stuff. No matter how many Galactic Coin you give me, I won't trade it. That's enough!"
Seeing Chen Lie's resolute attitude, Helian Jingtao guessed that Chen Lie might not understand the value of Galactic Coin.
It wasn't until he arrived at Starry Sky University that he truly understood the importance of Galactic Coin.
Considering they were on Star Boat, it wasn't appropriate to say too much, so Helian Jingtao said, "Think it over again. Ten million Galactic Coin is already the actual transaction price for the Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow."
After all, you don't need this treasure now, and many people covet it. Keeping it will only increase the risk.
After saying that, Helian Jingtao turned and left.
Chen Lie dismissed Helian Jingtao's claim with disdain.
He was exceptionally knowledgeable and knew that within the entire Central Galactic Empire, apart from the Ten Great Star Provinces directly under the empire's jurisdiction and a very few large star regions where martial arts flourished, the Innate Spiritual Object, Profound Yang Golden Marrow, sometimes appeared only once every ten years.
If one cannot purchase them from outer space, Innate Spiritual Object are priceless.
The so-called transaction price of ten million Galactic Coin is more like a friendly price. If you buy it with ten million Star Dollar, you will owe the other party a favor. Otherwise, even if you buy it at a premium, it will be difficult to buy it.
Helian Jingtao walked to his seat and sat down.
Zhao Siqi, standing nearby, glanced at Helian Jingtao and asked, "Does Helian know people from our Blue Star?"
Helian Jingtao smiled slightly, "I don't know him."
"Oh? Then why did you go to talk to them?" Zhao Siqi asked.
Helian Jingtao was silent for a moment, then said, "Student Zhao, can I ask you for a favor?"
Zhao Siqi smiled slightly, "We're all classmates, so please feel free to speak, Helian!"
If I can do it, I will certainly not refuse.
"Since that's the case, then I'll take the liberty of saying it."
Helian Jingtao said, "Among the 15 people from Blue Star who went to Starry Sky University to participate in the election, there is a person named Chen Lie."
He possesses a treasure that would be of great use to my martial arts cultivation. I am willing to pay ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins to purchase it from him, so I need to trouble you, Zhao, to mediate on my behalf."
Zhao Siqi exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of treasure costs ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins?"
She had been attending Starry Sky University for over a year and had never seen so many Star Dollar before.
Moreover, as far as she knew, the total foreign exchange reserves of Blue Star for the entire year were only seventy to eighty million Star Dollar, and after deducting all expenses, there were only a pitiful few million Star Dollar left.
In this situation, how could a first-year student at a Blue Star University possibly possess a treasure worth tens of millions of Star-Origin Galactic Coins?
"It is indeed a rare treasure, otherwise it would not be worth so much."
However, my ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins is the true price of the treasure, and there is absolutely no exaggeration."
"If that's the case, I can help Helian mediate," Zhao Siqi nodded.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Zhao. If it succeeds, I will be very grateful."
"No need for generous thanks, after all, it's an equal exchange."
Zhao Siqi waved her hand, but murmured to herself.
Chen Lie? Is that the troublemaker from earlier?
Chen Lie sat upright on the Star Boat seat and began to slowly circulate the method of stabilizing his qi and blood from the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique>.
It's not the theft itself that's worrisome, but the fact that someone has their eye on it. It seems the Profound Yang Golden Marrow must be used as soon as possible.
Chen Lie focused all his efforts on stabilizing his cultivation level, hoping to use the Profound Yang Golden Marrow to cultivate the Pure Yang Precious Blood in the shortest possible time.
The Star Boat was traveling at high speed in space, approaching the Central Canglan Star Domain at a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per second.
Before we knew it, a day and a night had passed.
At that moment, a warning sound suddenly rang out from the Star Boat.
"Twenty thousand miles ahead, approaching Canglong Star, begin to slow down!"
"Entering the Canglong Star Domain..."
"The Canglong Star automated security system checkpoint has issued an inquiry: Please present your Canglong Star pass and state your purpose..."
"The review has been approved; the Canglong Star automated security system checkpoint has been cleared..."
The Star Boat slowed down again, and then lurched slightly.
After another twenty minutes or so, the Star Boat issued another warning.
"Arrived at Canglong Star - Starry Sky University."
Starry Sky University prohibits the entry of external Star Boat and airships. The Star Boat is about to land.
A jolt occurred inside the Star Boat, followed by a loud "boom" as the Star Boat landed.
The students asked in unison, "Have we arrived at Starry Sky University yet?"
At this moment, Lou Xueru, who was accompanying them, came out and said, "Students, we have now arrived at Starry Sky University."
We are currently outside the north gate of Starry Sky University.
Starry Sky University is vast, divided into multiple campuses and numerous departments, covering an area equivalent to ten thousand Blue Star University.
"Ten thousand Blue Star University? That's huge!"
The students were shocked. If that were the case, wouldn't Starry Sky University be larger than the largest province on Blue Star?
Lou Xueru continued, "I won't be able to enter Starry Sky University later. You will go in with Zhao Siqi."
Remember, once you're inside Starry Sky University, you must abide by the rules and follow Zhao Siqi's instructions.
"Understood!"
After hearing the students' replies, Lou Xueru nodded and said, "Alright, let's disembark from the Star Boat one by one now!"
At this moment, the cabin door of the Star Boat opened, and the fifteen candidates lined up and disembarked one by Star Boat.
As Chen Lie stepped off the Star Boat amidst the crowd, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
As soon as Chen Lie Star Boat, he saw a school gate that looked like it was made of jade, standing tall and hundreds of feet high.
The words "Starry Sky University" are written in the center of the school gate.
The other students were also stunned by the magnificent splendor of Starry Sky University, exclaiming, "This is Starry Sky University?"
At that moment, a figure appeared, riding a flying sword, soaring over everyone's heads.
"What the hell? Flying on a sword?"
In the crowd, Han Keke looked up and saw the strange scene before her, and was immediately shocked.
Zhao Siqi walked to the front of the crowd and said calmly, "Don't make a fuss."
Students in the Sword Dao Department of Starry Sky University who reach the fifth level of "External Qi Manipulation" and possess a sword with spiritual power can wield their swords and fly on them after learning how to imbue their swords with True Qi —a skill known as "flying on a sword!"
"That's amazing?" Han Keke's eyes widened, and she said, "When I get into Starry Sky University, I'm going to join the Sword Dao Department too!"
"Don't talk nonsense like that. The Sword Dao Department isn't something you can just get into. Out of ten thousand students at Starry Sky University, maybe one is qualified to join the Sword Dao Department," Zhao Siqi said calmly.
Han Keke remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was extremely resentful.
Underestimating her, Han? Once she gets into Starry Sky University, I'll definitely make her eat her words!
Lou Xueru said, "Zhao Siqi, why don't you lead the students inside?"
"OK!"
Zhao Siqi nodded slightly, turned to look at the fifteen people behind her, and said, "Come with me!"
The fifteen people followed Zhao Siqi to the entrance of Starry Sky University.
Upon reaching the entrance, the group was immediately identified by the Starry Sky University's security barrier and stopped outside.
Zhao Siqi produced her credentials from Starry Sky University and explained her purpose, at which point the guards finally allowed her to pass through the barrier.
After entering Starry Sky University, Zhao Siqi summoned a medium-sized airship and had everyone board it.
As the airship took off, Zhao Siqi began to explain to the students.
"Starry Sky University is divided into three major departments: Martial Way Department, Sword Dao Department, and Mental Power Department!"
It is extremely difficult for an ordinary student at Starry Sky University to join one of the three major departments.
The Sword Dao Department requires students to have a talent for Kendo, an understanding of Kendo, and an affinity for the sword; it is the most difficult of the three departments to enter.
The Mental Power Department requires students to possess top-tier Mental Power talent and a sufficiently high score in their Sea of Consciousness to be qualified to create a Pseudo-Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit. It's not that simply being Divine Sense Master guarantees direct entry into the Department of the Mental Power Department at Starry Sky University.
Entering the Martial Way Department is not easy either. It requires cultivating more than nine times the Strength Value during the Blood-Qi Stage, breaking through the Earth Aperture to reach the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, and cultivating multiple attributes of True Qi during the True Qi Stage.
Of the three major systems mentioned above, only the Sword Dao Department has strict requirements. However, those in the Mental Power Department and Martial Way Department can also apply to join if they perform exceptionally well later on.
Only students who can join these three major departments can be considered outstanding Starry Sky University students.
If you are selected in this election, you can directly become students in the Martial Way Department, and you will be given special training among the many students in the Martial Way Department.
Compared to other students at Starry Sky University, this can be described as a meteoric rise.
"Furthermore, let me explain to you that this time, it was the head of the Martial Way Department at Starry Sky University who initiated the project to recruit geniuses from remote planets."
Don't think this is the higher-ups at Starry Sky University recruiting disciples. Even if you're lucky enough to be selected, you're still far from becoming the department head's disciple."
Chen Lie was taken aback. Wasn't Zhu Jingxi from Red Flame Planet supposed to be a mentor in the Mental Power Department recruiting disciples? How did it become Martial Way Department?
It seems the information from Red Flame Planet isn't very accurate either.
"Next, I will take you to the Tianyi Campus of Starry Sky University. Nearly a thousand Blood-Qi Stage geniuses from many planets in the Canglan Star Domain will be tested in the square of the Tianyi Campus."
"If any of you can pass the test completely, you will have a chance of being selected."
Zhao Siqi said there was hope, meaning that even if she passed all the tests, she might not be selected.
If it didn't test his talent or physical constitution, Chen Lie could guarantee that he would pass all the tests. But if it did test his talent or physical constitution, then there was no way to pass.
On second thought, those who can come here are all outstanding individuals from various planets, so there's no need to go through the trouble of testing their talent and aptitude.
