Divine Sense Master Certificate

Chen Lie asked, "Your Mental Power is far higher than mine. Why not guide her yourself instead of entrusting her to me?"

Wei Changshan shook his head and sighed. "The development of Divine Sense on Blue Star has always moved forward. In the face of this tide, the cultivation experience of old-timers like us—whether in Martial Dao or Divine Sense—should have been obsolete long ago.

"If I taught her the outdated, old-fashioned cultivation methods I used when I was young, she'd at best reach my current level. A Divine Sense prodigy this outstanding has finally appeared in Three Rivers. Wouldn't that just hold her back?

"But you're different. You studied under someone from the Outer Stars, where Mental Power cultivation is at least several centuries ahead of Blue Star's. On top of that, you're exceptionally talented yourself. If you offered her guidance at a crucial moment, you might save her a year, or even several years, of hard cultivation."

"All right!"

Chen Lie nodded. He had received the reward from the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong and benefited from the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association's system. Naturally, he ought to give something back to his hometown in some way.

Wei Changshan gave Shen Miaowei a meaningful look. "Miaowei, take out your Communicator. I remember you young people are always using that popular social app. Exchange contact information with him. If you run into any difficulties with Mental Power cultivation in the future, you can try asking him first."

"Okay!"

Shen Miaowei stepped over to Chen Lie and took out her Communicator. "Um... do you have Green Bubble?"

Chen Lie nodded. "I do. Let's add each other!"

Shen Miaowei raised her Communicator and added Chen Lie as a Green Bubble friend.

Beside them, Shen Feixue snorted and muttered, "Sister Wei is so talented. Does she really need his guidance?"

"Little miss from the Shen Family, you should think before you speak."

"That's the truth!" Shen Feixue retorted.

"Feixue!" Shen Miaowei called out to her sister in a warning tone, then said to Chen Lie, "My sister's been spoiled by our family. She doesn't know when to hold her tongue. Please don't take it to heart."

Chen Lie gave a quiet "Mm," then asked Wei Changshan, "Will my Apprentice Divine Sense Master Certificate take another half an hour?"

"They said half an hour, but it should be about ready by now. Let's check the first floor. I'll hurry the staff along," Wei Changshan said.

With that, Wei Changshan and Chen Lie headed out.

Behind them, Shen Feixue hurried after Shen Miaowei. "Sister Wei, didn't you say the Star Soul Tempering Vine—the reward for breaking the record—would be a huge help to you?

"It was practically yours for the taking. Are you really going to watch that Chen Lie take it just like that?"

Shen Miaowei spoke softly to Shen Feixue. "All right, stop talking."

"What else can I do? It's a Mental Power treasure! You can't buy something like that even if you have money!"

"What choice do we have? Sheer skill decides the winner, and when you lose, you can only hand the treasure over. Besides, isn't there a saying in the Martial Dao world: 'Heavenly treasures belong to those with virtue'?" Shen Miaowei said.

"What virtue does he have? He's just relying on having a Divine Sense Master teacher from the Outer Stars! If it were you, Sister Wei, you'd definitely be better than him!" Shen Feixue retorted.

Chen Lie heard the two girls talking behind him, so he stopped and turned slightly.

"Do you really need the Star Soul Tempering Vine?"

Shen Miaowei felt a little embarrassed that Chen Lie, the person they'd been talking about, had heard them. "Don't listen to my sister's nonsense. Actually..."

"I don't mind giving you the Star Soul Tempering Vine, but you'll have to trade me something for it."

"What do you want?" Shen Miaowei immediately asked.

The Star Soul Tempering Vine was simply too important to her. It could determine whether her Mental Power could advance further.

"Some Martial Dao Rare Treasures. We've added each other on Green Bubble, haven't we? I'll send you a list of the ones I need."

As he spoke, Chen Lie took out his Communicator, found Shen Miaowei's Green Bubble account, which he had just added, and sent her a message.

"Ding-dong."

Shen Miaowei received the Green Bubble message and immediately opened it.

"I sent you a list of ten Martial Dao Rare Treasures. If you can find three of them, you can bring those three treasures to East River Province and trade them for the Star Soul Tempering Vine.

"But I'll only give you ten days. After that, I might use the Star Soul Tempering Vine myself."

After saying that, Chen Lie turned and went downstairs.

"Trading three Martial Dao Rare Treasures for the Mental Power Treasure, the Star Soul Tempering Vine, is an absolute bargain!"

At that moment, Wei Changshan said, "Miaowei, you can tell your family about this.

"Even three extremely rare Martial Dao treasures wouldn't be worth more than a billion Star Dollars. But even with a billion Star Dollars, you absolutely couldn't buy a Mental Power Treasure like the Star Soul Tempering Vine.

"You've already been chosen as the Shen Family's successor. The older generation of the Shen Family will surely be willing to search far and wide for these treasures to secure the Star Soul Tempering Vine for your future."

"I understand, Grandpa Wei." Shen Miaowei nodded.

Shen Feixue hurriedly said, "Sister Wei, send me the list of all ten Martial Dao Rare Treasures too. I'll tell Dad as soon as I get home and ask him to help look for them."

"Mm!" Shen Miaowei nodded.

Chen Lie arrived at the Divine Sense Master Association's first-floor service hall, but he didn't see Wang Hui or Meng Jing in the waiting area.

Wei Changshan walked up to the service counter on the first floor.

The staff inside immediately greeted him respectfully.

"President!"

"Mm."

Wei Changshan nodded and asked, "Someone just passed the Apprentice Divine Sense Master assessment. The Optical Computer mainframe automatically sent the information over. His name is Chen Lie.

"Has Chen Lie's Apprentice Divine Sense Master Certificate been made?"

"It's ready. It just needs the seal."

After speaking, the staff member quickly took out the Divine Sense Master Association's seal and stamped the certificate. In less than a minute, a blue leather certificate was handed to Wei Changshan.

Wei Changshan accepted the Apprentice Divine Sense Master Certificate and called Chen Lie over.

"Little friend Chen Lie, your Divine Sense Master Certificate is ready."

Chen Lie walked over to Wei Changshan and took the certificate. He opened it and saw the following information:

Divine Sense Master Certificate

Name: Chen Lie.

Sex: Male

Divine Sense Rank: Apprentice Divine Sense Master

Issuing Organization: Yunchuan Province Divine Sense Master Association.

Authorized by: Wei Changshan.

"Special Note: Sea of Consciousness score: 2,765,000, ranked ninth on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking."

Chen Lie glanced at it, then put the Divine Sense Master Certificate away.

"You're one of the very few people in the history of the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong to pass the Apprentice Divine Sense Master assessment before turning eighteen."

Chen Lie showed no reaction to Wei Changshan's praise. Instead, he said, "I checked online. There's no fee to take the Divine Sense Master assessment, but as soon as I arrived, I was asked to pay a deposit of twenty thousand Star Dollars.

"Now that I've passed the assessment, will the twenty thousand Star Dollar deposit be returned to me, or does it go straight to the Divine Sense Master Association?"

"Hmm? What twenty thousand Star Dollar deposit? Who collected it?"

Wei Changshan's voice immediately turned stern.
