Chen Lie and Huang Yuande went to the restaurant together. Huang Yuande rushed ahead and bought Chen Lie a 20-credit premium rare meal using his credit card, while he himself bought a 10-credit intermediate elixir meal.
"Last time, I got a free bottle of Star Essence Liquid because of you, and to be honest, I felt pretty embarrassed."
"Eating such a fine, rare meal would be a waste for someone with my limited energy; please don't look down on it."
Chen Lie nodded without refusing, accepted the high-end rare meal, and found a seat to eat.
Huang Yuande followed Chen Lie and also started eating at the dining table.
A short while later, Chen Lie and Huang Yuande finished their meal and were about to leave when they suddenly saw a group of students enter the restaurant.
Huang Yuande pointed at the group of students and said, "Chen Lie, do you see them? Those should be second-year students from Blue Star University."
"Oh? Second year?"
Chen Lie looked up and ahead.
"Yes, most of the second-year students are already advanced martial artists."
The Martial Arts Association calls them New Era Martial Artists. These people are at least 2,000 units of Qi and Blood, and although they are only at the first level of True Qi Generation, they are not afraid of even ordinary fourth-level martial artists.
"I know that. The strength difference between martial artists below the fifth rank is not too great. The fifth rank is a watershed. After the fifth rank, the gap gradually widens."
Especially for martial artists who have cultivated protective qi, even ordinary, powerful firearms cannot break through the protective qi.
,
"You seem to know quite a bit about martial artists. You haven't fought against a fifth-level martial artist before, have you?"
"Even with the peak strength of Qi and Blood in the Refining stage, you can't defeat a fifth-tier martial artist, right?" Huang Yuande asked.
"Generally, only those who have reached the peak of the Blood Refining stage can fight against a fifth-tier martial artist, especially a fifth-tier martial artist who has entered the stage with a few hundred calories of Qi and Blood."
To consistently suppress a fifth-tier martial artist, one only needs to reach the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm.
"The Great Realm of Qi and Blood? Only martial arts geniuses from outer space can reach this realm, right?" Huang Yuande said.
As he spoke, he exclaimed, "Oh my god! Look at those two girls, they're really beautiful. In the second year of Blue Star University, they should be considered our seniors."
"Chen Lie, why don't you go and say hello? If you just give your number, you'll probably succeed in hooking him up."
"Go by yourself if you want to," Chen Lie waved his hand.
"Ugh."
Huang Yuande sighed and said, "With your reputation, you must be very popular in the provinces of Sichuan. You're probably tired of all the delicacies. You have no idea how repressed the middle-level people in our martial arts province are. The proud daughters of our Hunan and Guangdong provinces don't even look down on us."
Forget it, you definitely wouldn't understand me, and you wouldn't get it even if I explained it to you.
Just as Chen Lie and Huang Yuande were about to leave and stood up, two women from the second year of Blue Star University walked over.
One of the women, with hair reaching her waist, said, "You—are you Chen Lie?"
Chen Lie turned to look at the girl who had called out his name and felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
"Chen Lie, he's calling you. Do you know him?" Huang Yuande said from the side.
The woman with waist-length hair walked over and reminded her, "Have you forgotten? We met once in Yunchuan at the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament. I was with Liusu."
Chen Lie recalled: "Oh, you are—"
"I'm Liusu's cousin, my name is Ruan Liuyun, remember me?"
"Oh, it's you." Chen Lie nodded.
Ruan Liuyun smiled slightly and said, "Since you came to Blue Star University, have you seen Liusu?"
"No." Chen Lie shook his head.
Ruan Liuyun said, "Liusu has been talking about you. My uncle, who is also Liusu's father, has been saying that you should visit Jiangsu Province."
"Oh? Visiting?"
Chen Lie found it strange. Why would someone be a guest when everything was fine?
"Well, you've just started school, so you must be busy with martial arts training. There's no rush to visit; we can talk about it later when we have more time," Ruan Liuyun said.
Chen Lie replied politely, "Okay, I'll visit when I have time."
"You can discuss it with Liusu. After all, it's a matter between the two of you. Liusu's mother is also looking forward to meeting you," Ruan Liuyun said with a smile.
.
Chen Lie was puzzled and was about to ask a question when the woman next to Ruan Liuyun tugged at Ruan Liuyun's sleeve and said, "Liuyun, we have a live-fire exercise to do later."
Ruan Liuyun nodded and said, "Alright, Chen Lie, I have to go now, bye-bye."
After Ruan Liuyun finished speaking, she left with the woman beside her.
Seeing the two women leave, Huang Yuande couldn't help but say, "Chen Lie, you have quite a wide circle of friends. You even know second-year students from Blue Star University."
"We only met once."
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he left the restaurant.
Having entered the Refining Stage and cultivated his Vajra Lungs, Chen Lie began preparing to cultivate the next organ.
His next target for training is the liver.
The second step in the Vajra Refinement is to cultivate a liver of the Wood element.
Before cultivating the liver, one must nourish the liver by accumulating Qi within it and gently nurturing it.
Each of the five internal organs and the five elements has its own function, and only by reaching a higher level in the future can one have smooth sailing.
After starting to cultivate the Liver of the Wood element, Chen Lie spent several days alone, continuously nourishing his liver to lay a good foundation for his future cultivation.
Inside the classroom of the 15th elite class, tutor Pang Xiuming finished a lesson.
Mu Ningshu from the class was seen at the classroom door.
"Student Mu Ningshu, the courses these past few days have been very important for cultivating the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, and almost no one in our class has missed a class."
"But why isn't Chen Lie, one of the four with perfect aptitude, here?" Pang Xiuming asked.
"Teacher, I've already notified everyone in the class's Green Bubble group chat. Chen Lie must have seen it too. As for why he didn't come, I don't know," Mu Ningshu said.
"Then go ask him after class, and we'll go into the Sumeru Illusionary Realm together again tomorrow."
After this, you can either team up or act independently.
However, self-organized activities within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm will yield very little benefit; it's best to form teams with multiple classmates.
"Yes, mentor, I understand." Mu Ningshu nodded.
After Pang Xiuming finished repairing it, he left the classroom.
Mu Ningshu walked into the classroom, came to Chi Naixue, and said, "Vice Class Monitor Chi Naixue, is Chen Lie a special recruit from your Hunan-Guangdong Province?"
In other words, he is under your supervision. The instructor just asked me why Chen Lie didn't come to the martial arts class. Since you are the vice class monitor in charge, go and ask him what happened.
Chi Naixue said calmly, "The neighbors are being unnecessary. Isn't Huang Yuande from our class the closest to Chen Lie? Just ask him."
Huang Yuande was taken aback and said, "I do live next to Chen Lie in the dormitory, but I haven't seen him many times in the past few days. I don't really know what's going on with him."
Chi Naixue frowned and said expressionlessly, "Although there is no requirement to attend the tutor classes at Blue Star University, it is a bit too much for him to miss them for several days in a row."
However, although Chen Lie nominally came through the special admissions channel of Hunan and Guangxi provinces, he is, after all, a transfer student from another province, so the class monitor should handle him.
At this moment, Gao Yaqing suddenly said, "Is it because Chen Lie has reached a critical stage in his martial arts training that he couldn't come to class?"
"Below the peak of Qi and Blood, what critical period or crucial stage is there in martial arts?"
Mu Ningshu asked a question in return.
Gao Yaqing, of course, wouldn't say anything more and reveal Chen Lie's secret, so she kept quiet.
"But in the end, it's just a few classes he missed. There's nothing we can do to him. We can just give him a warning in the class's Green Bubble group chat," Mu Ningshu said.
After several days of cultivation, Chen Lie had completed the initial preparations for cultivating the Liver of the Wood element.
When he returned to his dormitory that day, he heard a message notification from the green bubble on his communicator.
He picked up his communicator and saw that it was a group chat message from the 15th elite class of Blue Star University, and it was a message specifically tagging him.
Mu Ningshu: Chen Lie, you haven't been to class these past few days, and your advisor is very unhappy. He asked me to ask you what happened. Please explain in the group chat. @Chen Lie Chen Lie replied directly: "No time."
Upon seeing Chen Lie's reply, Mu Ningshu, on the other end of the communicator, frowned slightly.
The message read: "So you missed class because you were busy? I'll relay your exact words to the tutor."
Chen Lie: "Whatever."
Seeing Chen Lie's perfunctory attitude, Mu Ningshu felt a surge of anger. However, remembering the rumors that he had powerful connections at Blue Star University and could even manipulate computers, she didn't want to offend him rashly. Suppressing her anger, she continued sending messages.
"The instructor has informed us that we will gather at the Sumeru Illusion Palace on campus early tomorrow morning to enter the Sumeru Illusion together. We hope that some people will not go to the wrong area again."
@All members.
After Mu Ningshu sent the message, a large number of people replied "Received".
Chen Lie put away his communicator, went to the restaurant for a meal, and then returned to his dormitory to cultivate his mental power.
The next morning, while Chen Lie was still sitting cross-legged on the sofa cultivating the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter," he suddenly heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.
"Chen Lie, are you there?"
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Lie immediately stopped cultivating, got off the sofa, and went to the dormitory door.
As soon as the door opened, Huang Yuande and Chen Huafeng walked in.
"Chen Lie, you've been leaving early and coming home late these past few days. I haven't seen you much. What have you been up to?" Huang Yuande asked as soon as he walked in.
"You're practicing martial arts. Is there something you need?" Chen Lie asked.
"Something's up. Didn't you see the message in the Green Bubble group yesterday? We're going to enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm together today."
"Why do we need to go in groups when entering the Sumeru Illusionary Realm?" Chen Lie asked.
"One person can't get anything done."
Huang Yuande said, "As you know, we only get 1000 credits per month. 1000 credits are enough for people with low strength and a blood energy value of around 1000 calories, but for someone like me with a blood energy value close to 2,000 calories, 1,000 credits are a bit of a stretch, not to mention those at the peak of blood energy."
Once inside the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, we can hunt something called a phantom beast.
Successfully hunting a mythical beast will drop a crystal core.
Although we can't take these crystal cores out of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, we can sell the Illusionary Beast Crystal Cores exclusively to the senior students of Starry Sky University.
One Mythical Beast Crystal Core can be exchanged for ten Star Yuan Galaxy Coins, while one Star Yuan Galaxy Coin can be exchanged for 100 at Blue Star University.
credit.
The illusory beasts in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm are extremely difficult to hunt. It's impossible to succeed without acting as a group, which is why our instructor required us to act as a team.
"A single Phantom Beast Crystal Core is worth ten Star Yuan Galaxy Coins? These so-called senior students from Starry Sky University you're talking about are exploiting people way too much, aren't they?" Chen Lie retorted.
"You can't look at it that way. Although ten Star Yuan Galaxy Coins may sound like a small amount, they can be exchanged for 1000 credits. One crystal core is worth 1,000 credits. Where else can you find such a good business?" Huang Yuande said.
"One Star Yuan Galaxy Coin can be exchanged for 100 credits because Blue Star urgently needs interstellar circulation Galaxy Coin foreign exchange. In addition, the 100 credits are not given to others, but are used for the necessary expenditure of Blue Star on the cultivation of geniuses."
If one Star Coin can be exchanged for 100 academic credits, Blue Star University will definitely lose money.
Blue Star University is losing money. Its students who hunt magical beasts are being exploited like cheap labor, while the only ones profiting are the students from Starry Sky University.
"What do you mean by that?" Huang Yuande and Chen Huafeng asked at the same time.
"Although I don't know the true value of a crystal core, it is definitely not worth only 10 Star Yuan Galaxy Coins."
"What can we do? This is the only channel we have. Even if we are exploited, we can only accept it," Chen Huafeng said.
Chen Lie thought for a moment and said, "Since Blue Star University allows students from Starry Sky University to do this, it probably wants to provide them with some support."
"Let's go to the Sumeru Illusion Palace now. I reckon the rest of the class has already gone there."
Chen Lie nodded and left the teaching building with Huang Yuande and Chen Huafeng, heading towards the Sumeru Illusion Palace.
"Chen Lie, your reply to Class Monitor Mu Ningshu in the group yesterday was so perfunctory. I suspect Mu Ningshu might be a little dissatisfied with you. Be careful."
"Don't worry about her," Chen Lie waved his hand.
Considering Chen Lie's strength, Huang Yuande said no more.
Before long, Chen Lie and his two companions arrived at the Sumeru Illusion Palace.
The main hall of the Sumeru Illusion Palace was filled with people, including many students from the 15th key class and many students from other classes.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Mu Ningshu, the class monitor, took attendance to make sure everyone was present, and then called out the number to Pang Xiuming, the tutor of the 15th key class.
Pang Xiuming stood in front of the students and said, "Students, when you enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm this time, try your best to follow the class monitor's instructions. This is also to earn credits."
Everyone was very happy. Students below the Qi and Blood Limit had to leave the Sumeru Illusionary Realm after three hours of activity, while students at the Qi and Blood Limit had five hours of activity in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.
Are there any students in our class who are Spiritual Masters? Spiritual Masters can move around in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm for more than eight hours.
"Students who are Divine Sense Masters, please step forward."
After Pang Xiuming finished speaking, Chi Naixue walked out from among the students.
"So Chi Naixue is a mentalist. Have you reached the next level in your mental power cultivation?" Pang Xiuming sized up Chi Naixue.
Chi Naixue nodded and said, "I am currently a first-level Divine Sense Master."
