Blue Star Ninth

Chen Lie glanced at the woman behind the counter, noticing that she was stealing glances in his direction every now and then.

Seeing Chen Lie's reaction, Wei Changshan immediately understood the situation and swept his gaze over the staff behind the counter.

"Which one of you just accepted twenty thousand Star Dollars from this young friend? Step forward yourself!"

As Wei Changshan's voice fell, the woman from the counter and a young staff member walked out, trembling.

"Very well. Using your position at the Divine Sense Master Association to extort money from those coming for assessment. You two have severely damaged the image of the Divine Sense Master Association; go turn yourselves in to the judicial authorities immediately."

Wei Changshan waved his hand at the two before him.

Hearing Wei Changshan's words, the young staff member and the woman turned pale with terror, but they had no choice but to turn and leave in dejection.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Chen Lie called out to the pair. Their faces lit up, thinking that Chen Lie was young and naive, and that he wanted to persuade the President to show them mercy.

"Return my deposit before you go."

Hearing Chen Lie's words, the two, who had just been looking hopeful, saw their expressions sink once more.

The young staff member stepped forward, transferred the twenty thousand Star Dollars to Chen Lie, and then the two left the hall of the Divine Sense Master Association together.

After exiting the Divine Sense Master Association, the young staff member asked, "Sister Hua, what do we do? Are we really going to turn ourselves in?"

The woman looked dejected and said, "President Wei has already spoken. If you dare not go, you won't even know how you died by tomorrow. Damn it, he's so young, how could he have passed the Divine Sense Master assessment? We've really kicked an iron plate this time."

Inside the Divine Sense Master office hall, Wei Changshan said, "Young friend Chen Lie, please do not mind this. A large organization is bound to have a mix of good and bad, and it is inevitable that a few such petty, profit-seeking people would appear."

"I understand." Chen Lie nodded.

"Since I have obtained my Divine Sense Master certificate, it is time for me to go. Farewell, President Wei."

After Chen Lie finished speaking, he bid farewell to Wei Changshan and left the Divine Sense Master Association.

Wei Changshan watched Chen Lie leave, but did not go forward to see him off.

"Grandpa Wei."

At this moment, Shen Miaowei and Shen Feixue walked down to the first floor.

Wei Changshan glanced at them and said, "Miaowei, girl, remember this: if you encounter any difficulties in your mental power cultivation, ask this Chen Lie. Do not be shy about it. His mental power cultivation method comes from outside the stars; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have forged his consciousness sea world into a star."

"But... will he answer my questions?" Shen Miaowei asked.

"He should. Just make sure you don't hesitate to ask. You don't need to be discouraged; in truth, your aptitude is not much different from his. It is only because of the difference in cultivation environments that such a large gap has formed. The forging of the consciousness sea world depends largely on the mental power cultivation method, and in this, Chen Lie is uniquely gifted because he possesses an extraterrestrial method. Many Divine Sense geniuses from the top ten provinces of Blue Star are not his equal."

"Mm, I understand!" Shen Miaowei nodded.

"Also, that Star Soul Tempering Vine is of great use to you. If possible, go home and have your family help you find the ten martial arts treasures that Chen Lie asked for."

At this point, Shen Feixue interjected, "He came from a place as barren as East River Province; has he even seen a martial arts treasure? And to ask for ten of them right off the bat—he's really asking for the moon!"

Shen Miaowei shot Shen Feixue a glare and said, "Feixue, a mental power treasure is more than enough to trade for ten martial arts treasures. Stop talking nonsense."

Wei Changshan said, "The Divine Sense Master Association's main network system evaluated Chen Lie as having the potential of a Divine Sense Grandmaster, so that certainly isn't baseless. If you can, have the Shen Family be generous and give him four or five martial arts treasures; consider it an investment in a future connection."

Shen Feixue looked completely unwilling at Wei Changshan's words, but Shen Miaowei fell into deep thought.

Regardless of whether Chen Lie could become a Divine Sense Grandmaster in the future, even if she used a few martial arts treasures to trade for occasional guidance from someone who practiced an extraterrestrial mental power method, the deal was worth it.

"Sister Wei, then I will go ask my father for help. That Chen Lie only gave us ten days, and many of the rarer martial arts treasures are not easy to find in such a short time."

"Good!"

Shen Miaowei nodded at Shen Feixue.

On the other side, Chen Lie walked out of the Divine Sense Master Association and arrived at the airship docking area, only to find the airship cabin door closed and neither Wang Hui nor Meng Jing in sight.

Chen Lie took out his communicator and called Wang Hui, and the connection was made immediately.

"Hello, where did you go?"

Wang Hui said, "My cousin and I took a stroll nearby. Did you pass the Divine Sense Master assessment?"

"Passed. I have the certificate in hand."

"Good, wait for me by the airship, we're heading back now."

After saying this, Wang Hui hung up the communicator.

Chen Lie put away the communicator and waited beside the airship.

Before long, Wang Hui and Meng Jing arrived at the airship.

"Chen Lie, did you pass the Divine Sense Master examination? How is it so fast? Could the test be that simple?"

As soon as Wang Hui arrived, he couldn't help but ask.

"It was alright. As for exams, isn't it just that those who can't find it hard, and those who can find it easy?" Chen Lie replied.

Wang Hui said, "That's true. Where is your Divine Sense Master certificate? Let me see what it looks like."

Chen Lie handed the Divine Sense Master certificate to Wang Hui.

Wang Hui took the document and, upon looking at it, couldn't help but ask, "What is this special note about a consciousness sea score of 2.76 million? And it's ranked ninth on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking List. Is that very impressive?"

"Blue Star ninth?"

Hearing this from behind, Meng Jing hurriedly leaned in to take a look at the Divine Sense Master certificate.

"It really is Blue Star ninth! No wonder, no wonder General Manager Zhao values him so much!"

Wang Hui couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, do you know about this ranking list?"

Meng Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about it, but I do know that Blue Star has a population of over ten billion. To be ninth among those ten-plus billion people is an unimaginable existence in any field, let alone among such a high-end and rare group as Divine Sense Masters."

"That is indeed impressive."

Thinking about it, Wang Hui couldn't help but nod.

"Chen Lie, you are really going to take off this time. This is Blue Star ninth; even our East River Province Martial Arts Ninth Place is only the qualification for the Provincial Youth Genius Group."

As he spoke, Wang Hui returned the Divine Sense Master certificate to Chen Lie. Because he had never had contact with Divine Sense Masters, Wang Hui had no concept of them and simply believed that martial arts were the root of everything. He felt the gold content of the Blue Star ninth-ranked apprentice Divine Sense Master list was far inferior to being a member of the East River Province Youth Genius Group.

"It's just a ranking list; it doesn't represent much."

Chen Lie took the Divine Sense Master certificate and put it in his pocket, then immediately added, "Cousin Meng, you used to stay in Cloud River Province. Do you know where they sell resources like supplements or medicines to boost blood-qi?"

Meng Jing asked, "For which stage?"

Chen Lie said, "For use after one's blood-qi value breaks through 100."

At this, Wang Hui couldn't help but say, "Wait, Chen Lie, your blood-qi broke through 100? Are you mistaken? I remember when we measured it at the martial arts gym a month ago, you were only at 0.93 cal."
