"Um—if I help you, could you waive the ten million catties of Five-Element Yuan Stone for me?"

Now Qin Zhenling realizes she's been framed.

But there's nothing we can do. The other side is incredibly powerful; they can even command the Saint Envoy Hall. Even if they try to extort you, it's your own bad luck that's to blame.

"Get the seal to me first!" Chen Lie said calmly.

This Shaokang Commandery Princess Qin Zhenling is only fifteen years old. She has been a pitiful little girl for so long and has only recently become successful, so she has little experience. It is impossible for her not to feel fear after being fooled by Chen Lie.

But Chen Lie didn't expect to actually abduct her; doing so would be too risky for him.

It might be okay to scare her, but if she's really forced to scramble for Yuan Stone and the Sacred Martial Emperor finds out, he'll expose her layer by layer, and Chen Lie won't fare well either.

It seems that the Sacred Martial Emperor and the Star Seeker the Saint Envoy Hall are related. Under such circumstances, one should naturally know when to stop and not push things too far or drive people to a dead end.

Qin Zhenling took a deep breath. So what if she offended her elder sister? She'd handle it, wouldn't she?

Offending Qin Zhenkui might only result in her being targeted, which she could handle. However, if she were burdened with a debt of 10 million catties of Five-Element Yuan Stone, her life would likely be over before she knew it.

Her talent caught the eye of her grandfather, who even opened the Sacred Martial Imperial Ancestor Shrine to help her awaken her extraordinary abilities.

Bloodline.

Her future achievements will certainly rival those of the most important figures in Beimang Star, but if she's busy repaying loans every day, how will she have time to practice martial arts? If her golden years of martial arts training are wasted, her life will be ruined!

"Alright, wait for me here!"

"Isn't it just the seal of the Saint Envoy Hall? I'll go get it for you!"

Qin Zhenling speaking, he immediately turned around and entered the Crown Prince's Residence's residence.

Seeing Qin Zhenling enter the Crown Prince's Residence, Chen Lie knew everything was settled, so he went to wait aside.

A short while later, Qin Zhenling came out of the Crown Prince's Residence.

She came to Chen Lie's side and gave Chen Lie a document that looked like it was made of jade.

"This is the official seal for the establishment of the Interstellar Allied Forces 19th Legion of the Saint Envoy Hall. Here you go!"

Chen Lie took the seal, looked at it, and found that it did indeed bear the emblem of the Saint Envoy Hall, details of the formation of the 19th Interstellar Allied Forces Legion, and contained an extremely powerful Mental Power.

In the upper left corner of the seal, there is even the imperial emblem of the Central Galactic Empire.

After checking it, Chen Lie confirmed that the seal was correct and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, Chen Lie turned to leave.

Seeing this, Qin Zhenling quickly called out to her, "Hey, you haven't said yet if you could help me forgive the debt of ten million catties of Five-Element Yuan Stone!"

"Oh, okay!" Chen Lie stopped and turned around.

"Can you make that decision? Are you sure you can?"

"My friend told me to observe your attitude. If your attitude is bad and you try to shirk your debt, then he'll increase the interest on your debt by 10 million catties of Five-Element Yuan Stone."

"Now that I've verified that your attitude is good, you can just repay as usual," Chen Lie replied.

Qin Zhenling was shocked. Could this really be happening?

She suddenly suspected that Chen Lie might have been spreading false information, but since the seal had already been taken out, it was impossible to take it back.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Chen Lie was about to leave, Qin Zhenling hurriedly called him back and asked, "Can't I really reveal the identity of the person I owe a Stellar Treasure to?"

"It's not that I can't say, but I'm not entirely sure who he is."

"Since you know him, then take back the Stellar Treasure that I owe him. I happen to have a Stellar Treasure called Thunder Spirit Mystic Crystal in my residence, which is Stellar Treasure that can be used to cultivate Lightning-Aspect True Qi."

"Give him the things, and our debts will be settled!" Qin Zhenling said.

Chen Lie merely glanced at her expressionlessly. There are significant differences among Stellar Treasure Stellar Treasure. The most precious Stellar Treasure used for cultivating True Qi are those that can cultivate Yin-Yang True Qi and Five Elements True Qi true qi. In Chen Lie's eyes, starry Stellar Treasure used for cultivating Variant True Qi are just useless.

Of course, he couldn't let Qin Zhenling use such a Stellar Treasure to pay off the debt. Even if he wanted it, it should be Stellar Treasure that he would need soon for cultivating the Lunar and Greater Yang True Qi.

"I can't make that decision. Let's do it next time."

"No, what if that person asks me for interest again next time?" Qin Zhenling couldn't help but say.

Don't worry, it won't happen!

How did you know?

"I guessed!"

"No way!" Qin Zhenling shook her head. "You have to take the ' Thunder Spirit Mystic Crystal ' with you today, no matter what!"

"I told you, I can't make that decision. The Stellar Treasure my friend wanted was definitely his choice. I brought it with me..."

"What's the point of going back?" Chen Liedao.

"Then—let's consider it interest!"

Qin Zhenling thought for a moment and said, "If you take this Thunder Spirit Mystic Crystal with you, he won't be able to ask me for interest anymore. And what unexpected surprises could he possibly have?"

Chen Lie's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his words had frightened this Shaokang Commandery Princess. In order to avoid being blackmailed, she was actually willing to offer up a Stellar Treasure for cultivating Thunder True Qi.

"Are you sure? Even if you let me take this Stellar Treasure, you'll still have to pay back all the debts you owe."

"I know, but—you can't ask me for interest anymore."

"Alright!" Chen Lie nodded.

It seems the interest from those ten million catties of Five-Element Yuan Stone has frightened the child.

But for Chen Lie, unexpectedly acquiring a Thunder Stellar Treasure was a great thing.

In his previous life, Chen Lie cultivated wind and thunder Attribute True Qi, meaning he could easily comprehend the Thunder Intent.

The Thunder True Intent.

With another type of Thunder True Qi, Chen Lie's strength would increase further, and with his experience from his previous life, it wouldn't take him much effort.

More importantly, Chen Lie is proficient in a Heaven-Grade Martial Technique that can only be used by those who have cultivated Thunder True Qi. If he can take this opportunity to cultivate Thunder True Qi using the Stellar Treasure, his combat power will definitely increase significantly in the short term.

For Chen Lie, the Five Elements True Qi and Yin-Yang True Qi are fundamental. These True Qi encompass everything. To enter the Third Ultimate Realm True Qi Stage, all seven True Qi of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, Yin and Yang are indispensable.

If cultivating Variant True Qi is a waste of time, Chen Lie would rather not cultivate it at all.

But the Thunder True Qi is different, because Chen Lie has experience from his previous life, so it won't take up his time.

Qin Zhenling said, "Then come back to the mansion with me to retrieve it!"

"No need to make an extra trip, just bring it to me. I'm currently at the Four-Star Inn," Chen Lie said.

"Oh well!"

Qin Zhenling ordered her guards to return to the Commandery Princess's Residence to retrieve the Stellar Treasure. Afterward, she invited Chen Lie onto her Ceremonial Carriage and escorted Chen Lie directly back to the Four-Star Inn.

Soon, Chen Lie returned to the Four-Star Inn. He disembarked from Qin Zhenling's Ceremonial Carriage carriage and went to the guest room of the Four-Star Inn, where the Eastern Star Region was located.

Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou, seeing Chen Lie return, asked, "Chen Lie, why are you back? Is Commandery Princess Chengning not here?"

"I've retrieved the official seal!"

Chen Lie handed the official seal to Wang Shou.

Wang Shou took the seal, his face filled with disbelief. "This—how could it be so fast?"

Chen Lie's trip just now took no more than half an hour. He obtained the official seal in such a short time. How could this be considered an act of repentance?

"It's just getting the seal, why does it take so long?"

Wang Shou examined the seal and then put it away. It seemed that Commandery Princess Chengning of Beimang Star was not intentionally making things difficult for Chen Lie, but rather playing a game with Chen Lie. Otherwise, why would Chen Lie have retrieved the seal so quickly?

"President Wang, now that we have the official seal, when are we leaving?" Chen Lie asked.

"Everything is settled, and we can leave at any time!" Wang Shou said.

Lei Jinglong said, "I'll go and inform the others to prepare to leave."

Lei Jinglong then entered the notification room of the Four-Star Inn.

Soon, all the people from the Eastern Star Region, as well as the Grandmaster Guardians who accompanied Blue Star, gathered together.

Pei Naiqing, who was participating in the battle, said, "Are we going back to Blue Star? I've been at Starry Sky University for almost a year, and because of this battle, I haven't even had a chance to go home for a visit."

Lei Jinglong said, "We're heading back to Blue Star this time. Our Star Boat is already waiting outside the Four-Star Inn. Everyone, please come out!"

Led by Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou, the people from the Eastern Star Region walked out of the Four-Star Inn.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw a row of Ceremonial Carriage.

Qin Zhenling stepped forward and went directly to Chen Lie: "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, we're just about to board the Star Boat!" Chen Lie nodded.

"No, we can't leave now. You have to wait a little longer. I've already sent someone to retrieve the Thunder Spirit Mystic Crystal," Qin Zhenling said immediately.

"I know, I'm waiting!" Chen Liedao.

At this moment, Zhang Liwu, the director of the Resource Category Department of Blue Star University, stepped forward and asked, "Chen Lie, who is this?"

"Oh, she's a friend of mine, Shaokang Commandery Princess of the Sacred Martial Dynasty."

"Shaokang—Princess?"

Zhang Liwu was shocked. Chen Lie only been in Beimang Star for a few days, and he had already made the acquaintance of a princess!

That's an amazing level of social skills!

The princess must be the daughter of a prince or minister of the Beimang Star, all personally appointed by the Sacred Martial Emperor. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a top-tier noble in the Ten-Star Alliance.

If he could have even a tenth of Chen Lie's ability to make friends, he would be able to thrive in the interstellar world.

The others also looked at Chen Lie with surprise. His high talent was truly a gift from heaven; even his social circle was different from theirs.

"I am Zhang Liwu, Director of the Foreign Trade and Resources Department of Blue Star. Greetings, Shaokang Commandery Princess."

In feudal society, a princess like Beimang Star cannot be judged by her age. Even if she is young, she is still a powerful figure with the power of life and death. Therefore, Zhang Liwu quickly greeted her.

Getting to know a princess from Beimang Star would be a good thing for him.

Qin Zhenling simply hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more.

A short while later, a group of guards arrived outside the Four-Star Inn. The lead guard presented Qin Zhenling with a square crystal box.

Qin Zhenling quickly handed the treasure box to Chen Lie: "This is the ' Thunder Spirit Mystic Crystal,' take a look."

Chen Lie opened the crystal box and, sure enough, saw a cluster of golden crystals radiating lightning inside.

"It's definitely Thunder Spirit Mystic Crystal!"

Chen Lie closed the crystal box and put it into his Storage Pouch.

"Then it's settled. If that person asks me for interest again, I'll tell him to ask you for it!" Qin Zhenling said.

"Knew!"

"Then write a receipt!"

At Qin Zhenling's invitation, the maidservant beside her immediately brought over a set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Chen Lie had no choice but to write a receipt for Qin Zhenling.

Qin Zhenling visibly relaxed after receiving the receipt. After saying "Farewell," she boarded the Ceremonial Carriage carriage and left the Four-Star Inn.

After Qin Zhenling left, Zhang Liwu exclaimed in amazement, "Chen Lie, how did you develop such excellent interpersonal skills? Could you teach me?"

What kind of communication skills?

"You've only been in Beimang Star for a few days and you've already made the acquaintance of a princess. Isn't that a testament to your strong interpersonal skills?" Zhang Liwu said.

At this moment, Lei Jinglong said, "Alright, Director Zhang, stop asking these questions. The princess of Beimang Star is able to befriend Chen Lie Chen Lie because she values his talent; that's something you can't learn!"

"Too!"

Zhang Liwu nodded dejectedly.

Seeing this, Chen Lie offered no further explanation.

In fact, Zhang Liwu had seen Qin Zhenling in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, but the Qin Zhenling at that time had changed quite a bit from the Qin Zhenling at that time. In addition, he did not know Qin Zhenling's identity, so it would be difficult for ordinary people to recognize her.

"Alright, everyone, get on the Star Boat. We're getting ready to go."

Under the guidance of Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou, the ten young participants from the Eastern Star Region, along with many Grandmaster, boarded the Star Boat.

On the Star Boat, Wang Shou clapped his hands and announced, "The news of our victory in the Four-Sided Star Domain Contest has been relayed back to the Eastern Star Region."

Commanding an Interstellar Allied Forces is a monumental achievement that benefits both the present and future generations.

"Once we return to Blue Star, we will definitely throw you a grand celebration banquet."

"Alright, without further ado, let's set Star Boat!"

Chen Lie hadn't seen his parents in a long time, so it was time for him to return to Blue Star. If it weren't for this reason, he could have directly returned to Starry Sky University by borrowing the Space Jump Station on Beimang Star through Qin Zhenling.

At this moment, Blue Star's Star Boat took off and quickly rushed out of Beimang Star.

Chen Lie knew it would take three days to return to Blue Star, so he closed his eyes and began cultivating the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter ".

As the successor of the Sacred Martial Dynasty Crown Prince's Residence, the foremost of the four major sects in the Black Cloud Star Domain, Yun Youyou, the Chong Star Prince of the Holy Demon Heaven Sect Dynasty, also had her own purpose in coming to Beimang Star this time.

This was all to verify the Ultimate Realm cultivation method he wanted to complete.

She already had her own ideas, but she also wanted to consider other people's opinions before making a decision.

Early that morning, Yun Youyou found Qin Zhenkui.

"Zhenkui, two days have passed now. The True Qi Circulation Route Map you've summoned should be complete by now, right?"

Could you show it to me?

"Of course! This Martial Arts Exchange held just for you, Sister Yun. Come with me!"

As Qin Zhenkui spoke, he led Yun Youyou to the library in her residence.

At that moment, a girl in a black dress stepped forward.

Qin Zhenkui saw the girl in the black dress and asked, "Sister Wuxin, did everyone hand in their second parchment at the last Martial Arts Exchange?"

"They've all been handed in!" the girl in the black dress said.

"Then please fetch it for me!"

After hearing Qin Zhenkui's words, the girl in the black dress silently took out a stack of parchment from beside a bookshelf.

"The parchment on it is mostly the first version that the martial arts students of the Sacred Martial Academy demonstrated on the spot at the exchange meeting, so it may be a bit rough."

The following is what those people submitted after two days of careful consideration; it should be more rigorous.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Sister Wuxin!"

Qin Zhenkui said to Yun Youyou, "Sister Yun, the True Qi Circulation Route Map is all here, you can start looking at it!"

Yun Youyou nodded gently and picked up the parchment to read it.

Upon seeing the first one, she couldn't help but furrow her brows.

This level is far too poor, far inferior to the disciples of the Demon Heaven Sect.

She glanced at the True Qi Circulation Route Map on the first parchment a few times before setting it aside, then picked up the second one.

He then started reading.

Unexpectedly, the second one was almost the same size as the first, so she casually put the second True Qi Circulation Route Map aside.

Soon, Yun Youyou had looked at seven or eight diagrams in a row and found that the True Qi Circulation Route Map deduced by the people of Beimang Star were all conventional, and some parts were even unbearable to look at.

She thought about it and realized that since it was done on the spot, time was naturally tight, so some oversights were normal.

So Yun Youyou sped up and, in less than half an hour, reviewed the True Qi Circulation Route Map that had been prepared for the scene.

Yun Youyou's expression softened when she saw the parchment below. The contents of these parchments were much more rigorous than the previous ones, but they were not particularly outstanding and did not offer her any inspiration.

It took Yun Youyou more than two hours to read through most of the parchments.

Most of the True Qi Circulation Route Map on these parchments were fairly standard, with only one or two being somewhat unusual, but none of them could help her.

Just as Yun Youyou felt that her trip to Beimang Star had been in vain and was greatly disappointed, she suddenly hummed in agreement and calmed down to look at the parchment in her hand.

As she watched intently, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Upon closer inspection, Yun Youyou realized that the True Qi Circulation Route Map was surprisingly novel, almost overturning the previous ideas.

Contrary to her preconceived notions, the annotations on it were actually quite reasonable and well-founded.

Because of the incomplete cultivation method, Yun Youyou has been troubled by certain problems. However, if she cultivates according to the True Qi Circulation Route Map on this parchment, many problems seem to be easily solved.

Yun Youyou became increasingly engrossed in reading it, secretly admiring the person who deduced this diagram of True Qi circulation, and her disappointment vanished completely.

"What an exquisite deduction! To be able to receive so many Divine Treasury solely through the circulation of True Qi —the person who deduced such a circulation path must be a genius of unparalleled comprehension!"

Yun Youyou was overjoyed. Just when she thought the problem that had been troubling her was about to be solved, the True Qi Circulation Route Map on the parchment suddenly broke.

"Why is it gone?"

Yun Youyou raised an eyebrow; she was completely engrossed in watching when she suddenly noticed a blank space behind her.

"His deduction of the True Qi Circulation Route Map is so ingenious; I must personally seek guidance from this genius!"

Yun Youyou had a premonition that the final step of her "Five Qi Converging at the Origin" technique, the legendary Heavenly Demon Divine Embryo of the Demon Heaven Sect, seemed to be on the verge of being perfectly completed.
