Divine Martial Hall, Martial Arts Market District

As soon as he stepped off the Star Boat, Chen Lie saw a sign suspended in the air that read ' Canglong Star Interstellar Administration '.

Behind the sign was a huge and magnificent building, shimmering with light, its materials clearly not something that could be found on Blue Star.

"President Wang, there are still several days until the Permanent Council Star Contest. When did your friend say it would be?"

After disembarking from the Star Boat, Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou were at the front. Lei Jinglong asked Wang Shou a question.

Wang Shou said, "We've arrived a bit early. We agreed to meet at the Interstellar Management Bureau today, so please wait a moment!"

Lei Jinglong nodded, asking all the participants to wait there.

Zheng Shuwen, one of the contestants in the Blood-Qi Stage, asked, "Principal Lei, don't we have Galactic Coin?"

Galactic Coin are the universal interstellar currency; can't we just find a hotel or other place to stay here?

"There must be hotels like this on Canglong Star, right?"

Lei Jinglong said, "You're right. Galactic Coin are the universal currency in interstellar space, and they have strong purchasing power. With so many of us staying here, it will only cost us a few thousand Star-Origin Galactic Coins at most."

However, Canglong Star is not like Blue Star. Canglong Star is a technologically advanced planet. Its Satellite Sky Eye system covers the entire planet. As outsiders, as long as we are exposed to the Satellite Sky Eye Satellite Sky Eye system, we will be automatically identified. Unless we report to the Canglong Star authorities, no accommodation will accept us. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of the laws of Canglong Star.

Furthermore, Canglong Star is strictly managed. Any outsider who fails to register with the Canglong Star authorities within two days and is detected by the Satellite Sky Eye can be apprehended by Canglong Star's guards within twenty minutes.

We don't have time to report to the Canglong Star authorities; the process is complicated, and it might take a day or two to get a result. During that time, the Canglong Star authorities will restrict our movements."

"Why is it still so complicated?" Zheng Shuwen muttered softly.

"Let's wait for Chairman Wang's friend; maybe he can come up with a better plan!" Lei Jinglong said.

At this moment, the participants in the True Qi Stage began to discuss in hushed tones.

Yu Wenqin said, "Eh? I think I've been here before? It's less than an hour's journey from here to Starry Sky University by airship."

Lü Xianchuan said, "The so-called Satellite Sky Eye system of Canglong Star will not screen students like us from Starry Sky University."

Our Starry Sky University student ID is practically equivalent to half a citizen's ID on Canglong Star!

Lei Jinglong said, "I know you are not restricted by the Canglong Star Satellite Sky Eye and can move freely, but we are currently waiting for the Permanent Councilor Star Competition, so it's best to act together to avoid any accidents."

Chen Lie and the others waited.

During this time, Lei Jinglong went to the Interstellar Management Bureau to inquire and received a result: the date of the Permanent Council Star Contest is November 20th, Galactic Calendar 7365, and both participating parties can report before November 19th. It is currently November 16th, so there are still three days left.

After waiting for a while, a blond man in his forties arrived.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Wang Shou immediately went up to him. "Lu Ziyi, you've finally arrived!"

"How long have you been waiting here?" asked the middle-aged man named Lu Ziyi.

"Not long, about an hour."

Lei Jinglong then stepped forward to speak with them, and introduced them to the group of participants, "Students, this is President Wang's friend. He is a native of Canglong Star and Ninth-Order Grandmaster the Ultimate Realm."

You can call him Senior Lu!

As soon as Lei Jinglong spoke, the group of young people greeted him, calling out, "Senior Lu!"

Lu Ziyi nodded and said, "Come with me, I'll arrange a good place for you to stay."

With that, Lu Ziyi called all the participants together and they went to the city center not far from the Interstellar Management Bureau.

"Old Lu, have you gotten any news from what you asked around? Have all the contestants from Wood Source Planet arrived?" Wang Shou asked as they walked down the street.

"The people from Wood Source Planet have arrived, a day earlier than you. Accompanying them this time are Zu Yizun and Hu Dongzheng from Wood Source Planet!"

"Zu Yizun, Hu Dongzheng?"

Wang Shou frowned. Blue Star and Wood Source Planet had been dealing with each other for so many years that both sides were very familiar with the high-ranking figures in each other's camps.

"It seems that Muyuan Star has made a big decision this time. Zu Yizun is the Star Affairs Chief of Muyuan Star, and Hu Dong is the Commander-in-Chief of the Muyuan Star Federal Army."

"It turns out these two are escorting the contestants from Wood Source Planet together," Lei Jinglong remarked from the side.

Wang Shou nodded without saying a word.

Lu Ziyi led the Blue Star group to a large clubhouse in the city and said, "This is the temporary accommodation I have arranged for you, called the Divine Martial Hall."

Inside the hall, many young people from the Canglong Continent would exchange and discuss martial arts and Mental Power, and occasionally students from Starry Sky University would also come here.

Outside the Divine Martial Hall is the Martial Arts Market District, a place that sells martial arts resources, martial arts techniques, and Mental Power cultivation resources.

There are still a few days until the Permanent Council Star Contest. If you're interested, you can go to the Martial Arts Market District and buy some things if you have money in your pocket, but they only accept Canglong Currency and Galactic Coin here."

As he spoke, Lu Ziyi arrived at the Divine Martial Hall and arranged temporary accommodations for the group of Blue Star people.

Chen Lie followed in the crowd, listening to Lu Ziyi's introduction.

Under the arrangement of the staff of the Divine Martial Hall, the accommodations for Blue Star's group of more than 30 people were all arranged properly, all on the third floor of the Divine Martial Hall, and the rooms were all next to each other.

Before leaving, Lu Ziyi said, "Your information hasn't been reported yet. Send me the information of everyone except the students from Starry Sky University in a little while, and I'll report it for you."

"To avoid being identified by the Canglong Star Satellite Sky Eye and having the guards come knocking on our door."

"Old Lu, thank you so much for your help this time!" Wang Shou said gratefully.

"Don't be so polite. I have another piece of news for you. Your opponents, the people from Wood Source Planet, seem to be staying temporarily at the Divine Martial Hall as well."

The Divine Martial Hall is very large, almost like a small to medium-sized community. You might not even run into them!

"I see!"

Wang Shou nodded as usual.

"Okay, I'll be going then. Don't forget to give me the information later."

After saying this, Lu Ziyi turned and left.

Lei Jinglong frowned and said, "Are the people from Wood Source Planet here too? Could it be that they anticipated we would be staying here temporarily and have ulterior motives?"

At this moment, Ning Fan stepped forward and said, "Principal Lei, Chairman Wang, the Divine Martial Hall is very famous in the Canglong Continent."

"This place is closest to the Interstellar Management Bureau and is the most convenient for participating in the Permanent Councilor Star Competition. I don't think Wood Source Planet would have any designs on it."

"No matter what, we cannot let our guard down!"

Lei Jinglong said to the contestants, "Students, there are only a few days left until the Permanent Council Star Contest. The accommodation has been arranged. If you don't have anything to do, try not to go out."

"You may go out and explore if you wish, but you must not act alone. You must inform me and Chairman Wang in advance. Students in the Blood-Qi Stage who wish to go out must be accompanied by a student who has already entered Starry Sky University."

Wang Shou also said, "Everyone should remember what Principal Lei said: We are not citizens of Canglong Star and are not protected by local laws on Wood Source Planet."

However, for students already at Starry Sky University, the laws of Wood Source Planet will protect them. With students from Starry Sky University accompanying them, even if Wood Source Planet has any ulterior motives, they will be hesitant to act against them!

Furthermore, interstellar bandits are causing trouble within Canglong Star, and they have ways to evade Canglong Star's Satellite Sky Eye. Students already enrolled at Starry Sky University are quite familiar with Canglong Star, and having them accompany you on trips is a guarantee of your safety...

Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou spent half an hour giving them instructions before they finished.

They also knew that it was unlikely they could keep all these people cooped up in their Dormitory rooms for several days.

On Canglong Star, where martial arts are so flourishing, who wouldn't want to go out and broaden their horizons, preparing for their future studies at Starry Sky University?

Since we can't restrict it, we naturally need to give more instructions.

After listening to Principal Lei and Chairman Wang's instructions, Han Keke felt completely overwhelmed. She went to Chen Lie's side and said, "Big brother, is Canglong Star really that dangerous?"

Chen Lie shook his head. "As a planet with highly advanced technology and Satellite Sky Eye surveillance capabilities monitoring the entire globe, social order couldn't possibly be this bad."

"I guessed so!" Han Keke said.

Just as Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou finished speaking, Zhao Jingyuan and Tang Yan'er, contestants at the True Qi Stage, walked towards Chen Lie.

"Yan'er, this is the Martial Leader of our East River Province Class of '7365."

"Look at his ranking on the Blood Qi Ranking, he's practically second only to Ning Fan."

As soon as Zhao Jingyuan arrived in front of Chen Lie, she spoke to Tang Yan'er.

Tang Yan'er said, "You don't need to introduce me, I know this junior Chen Lie!"

"You know him? I remember you haven't been back to Blue Star recently, have you?" Zhao Jingyuan curiously.

"I met her through my sister, and we met once in the Sumeru Illusion Realm."

Tang Yan'er looked at Chen Liedao, "Junior Brother Chen, do you still remember me? We traded Illusion Beast Crystal Core once in the Sumeru Illusion Realm."

"I remember you're Tang Jiu'er's older sister?"

"That's right! You, me, and Jingyuan are all from East River Province."

Beside her, Han Keke said with an incredulous look, "Big brother, everyone says that your East River Province is poor, but I don't think you are poor at all. Among the participants in the Permanent Councilor Star competition here, your East River Province actually has three."

Many provinces on Blue Star don't even have one of the top ten.

Zhao Jingyuan said, "Junior sister, you misunderstand. I was selected because, by chance, I mastered a top-tier Xuan-grade martial art."

Moreover, he recently broke through to the Tier-4 Qi Vortex Realm, which temporarily puts his combat power ahead of other martial arts geniuses of the same period.

Many outstanding individuals of the same period had high standards for themselves and honed their True Qi to a high degree, which is why they lagged behind me.

"Although I am already Tier 4 Martial Artist, to be honest, I probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move from Ning Fan, who is at the peak of the third level."

"Then... what about this red-haired sister?" Han Keke looked at Tang Yan'er.

"Yan'er is nominally from East River Province, but in her second year of applying for the Martial Arts Department, she was admitted to the Blue Star University Affiliated High School, so she can only be considered half a East River Province native and half Lanjing native."

As Zhao Jingyuan spoke, he looked at Chen Lie and said, "The truly remarkable one is this junior Chen Lie."

When we were at Blue Star University, we were just a little Karami compared to the geniuses of our time, the top ten Martial Leader of Blue Star.

Unlike him, who was so popular, even the Martial Leader of the Jingji Province and Longhai Province would avoid him.

You, the Martial Leader of Nanjiang Province, are calling him "elder brother."

Have you ever felt frustrated, with a feeling of "A true man should not live a life of subservience to others?"

"How dare people from such a barren land rise above you?"

Han Keke immediately said, "Hey senior, don't try to sow discord between me and my brother. I'm wholeheartedly following him and I have no complaints whatsoever."

Zhao Jingyuan smiled and asked Chen Liedao, "Junior Brother Chen, would you be interested in taking a look at the martial Martial Arts Market District Divine Martial Hall?"

Yan'er and I have been to this place more than once. The martial arts resources sold in the market area are all kinds of strange and wonderful.

Go see if there's anything you need.

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!" Chen Lie agreed.

Han Keke reacted quickly, immediately reporting to Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou, and then left the Divine Martial Hall with Zhao Jingyuan, Tang Yan'er, and Chen Lie.

On the other side, Ning Fan wanted to go up and talk to Chen Lie, but when he saw Chen Lie going out with Tang Yan'er and Zhao Jingyuan, he came back.

"Brother Ning, were you trying to find that person just now?"

When Yu Wenqin saw Ning Fan walk out and then come back, she quickly asked him.

Ning Fan hummed in agreement. "I was hoping to take this opportunity to get to know Chen Lie better, but since he went out with Zhao Jingyuan and Tang Yan'er, I'll have to do it another time!"

"They are all from East River Province, so they can naturally talk to each other."

But Brother Ning, why are you getting so familiar with that Chen Lie?

"I naturally have my own ideas," Ning Fan said without offering further explanation.

On the other side, Chen Lie, Zhao Jingyuan, and Tang Yan'er left the Divine Martial Hall and arrived at the Martial Arts Market District next to the hall.

"Junior Brother Chen, this Martial Arts Market District has ten streets, including Market Street specializing in Blood-Qi Stage resources, streets specializing in True Qi Stage resources, streets specializing in Divine Sense Master resources, and so on."

"There are three more comprehensive streets, each of which is quite long and difficult to explore in a short time. Why don't we go to the comprehensive streets?" Zhao Jingyuan suggested.

"Good!"

Chen Lie followed Zhao Jingyuan and Tang Yan'er into a Market Street, which was actually a market Market Street.

As soon as he entered, Chen Lie saw a shop selling Yuan Stone.

So he asked, "Are you selling Yuan Stone here?"

"Huh? Junior, you actually know about Yuan Stone? On our Blue Star, there should be very few people who have ever used Yuan Stone, right?" Zhao Jingyuan asked curiously.

Han Keke, who was standing nearby, asked, "Big brother, what are Yuan Stone for?"

Chen Liedao, "Yuan Stone are used by Martial Artist to cultivate True Qi. Using Yuan Stone for cultivation can double Martial Artist's cultivation speed."

"There are such good things? Why haven't I seen them on Blue Star?" Han Keke asked.

Zhao Jingyuan explained, "Yuan Stone are a top-level controlled resource in the Canglan Star Domain, and only the Ten-Star Alliance can trade them freely."

Nearly 70% of the famous Yuan Stone mines in the Canglan Star Domain are controlled by the Upper Three Stars, and more than 99% are monopolized by the Ten-Star Alliance.

Planets like Blue Star don't have the right to trade Yuan Stone because the Ten-Star Alliance strictly controls Yuan Stone, so there's practically no flow of Yuan Stone on Blue Star.

"Brother, let's go take a look!"

Han Keke winked at Chen Lie.

Chen Lie arrived at the shop and looked at the various shapes of Yuan Stone on the counter. The sign read: Ordinary Yuan Stone - 3000 Canglan Coin per jin.

He reached out and touched the Yuan Stone Yuan Stone, finding that they were of average quality, but not particularly Yuan Stone.

At this moment, the shop owner stepped forward and asked, "Gentlemen, do you need Yuan Stone?"

The quality of the Yuan Stone in our store is top-notch; we even received some Variant Yuan Stone yesterday.

Tang Yan'er stepped forward and asked, "Do you have any Fire-Attribute Yuan Stone?"

"Yes, a batch of Fire-Attribute Yuan Stone just arrived yesterday. Would you like to take a look?"

The shop owner led Tang Yan'er to a separate counter, which was covered with crimson Yuan Stone, each priced as follows: Fire Yuan Stone - 5000 Canglan Coin per pound.

Tang Yan'er examined the goods and found the quality acceptable, so she nodded and said, "Give me five jin!"

"Alright, five catties of fire-elemental Yuan Stone, and twenty-five thousand Canglan Coin!"
