Chapter 169 The Martial Star Descends to Earth
Chen Ye was helped up by Chen Gequn: "Third Uncle, as you know, I had a mishap while practicing martial arts recently, which caused my qi and blood to become weak."
Although he recovered later with the help of his uncle's Blood Mist Flower, he was left with significant aftereffects.
Didn't my cousin Chen Lie also experience unstable Qi and blood when his Qi and blood value was 40?
After receiving guidance from a master, he not only recovered his health and vitality but also made great progress in martial arts.
Third Uncle, I beg you to ask my cousin Chen Lie to introduce me to that master. If the aftereffects of my qi and blood deficiency cannot be resolved, my martial arts will definitely be ruined.
"this-"
Chen Gequn hesitated. Chen Lie's unstable qi and blood was something he had faked himself, and he had never had any expert to guide him. He could only say, "Chen Ye, Chen Lie's unstable qi and blood has nothing to do with the guidance of an expert. He recovered by cultivating and regulating himself. Even if you find any expert, it will be of no use."
Upon hearing this, Chang Guirong's expression changed, but she still forced herself to speak, "Gequn, are you really unwilling to help your nephew?"
"Second sister-in-law, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's that I really can't."
Chen Gequn could only give this answer; he knew his limits and naturally could not reveal his son's secret.
The group was talking so intently that they didn't notice Chen Lie pushing the door open and coming in.
It wasn't until Chen Lie walked into the living room and said, "Dad, you're back?"
At this moment, all eyes were on Chen Lie.
Chen Gequn replied, "Yes, I just got home an hour ago. Your second brother specially went to Yunchuan to pick me up."
At this moment, Chen Guangqun stood up and said, "Chen Lie, I saw in the official media of Dongchuan Province that you've been shortlisted for the province's Youth Genius Team?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Yes."
Chen Guangqun's eyes flickered.
Joining the provincial youth genius team was something even Chen Ying couldn't achieve, yet Chen Lie actually succeeded.
Remembering Chen Lie's poor aptitude in the past, he finally believed that the expert who helped Chen Lie transform himself could also help Chen Ye.
Feng Yuelan noticed Luo Zhixun behind Chen Lie and asked, "Son, this is Luo Zhixun." She was a little confused by the messy scene in the living room, but after hearing Chen Lie call "Dad" and seeing Feng Yuelan call Chen Lie "son," she immediately knew Chen Lie's parents. So she said to Feng Yuelan and Chen Gequn, "Auntie, Uncle, hello. My name is Luo Zhixun. I am Chen Lie's friend. Like Chen Lie, I am a member of the Dongchuan Province Youth Genius Group."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuelan immediately became enthusiastic: "So you're also a member of the provincial youth genius team, Zhixun, right? Chen Lie is new here, so I'll have to ask you to take care of him."
Luo Zhixun nodded and said, "Chen Lie is also very outstanding. We should be looking out for each other."
"That's wonderful! I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare anything in advance. How about this, I'll cook a meal to treat you, and we can have a meal together?"
"No, Auntie, I've already eaten at the training area," Luo Zhixun quickly shook her head and refused.
The house was a mess, and with so many relatives here, Feng Yuelan didn't insist. She said, "Alright then, you must come over for a meal sometime."
Luo Zhixun nodded and said "Mmm".
"Is this a member of the province's youth prodigy group?"
Chang Guirong also looked at Luo Zhixun at this moment.
The members of the provincial youth genius group are rumored to be incredibly talented among the general public in Dongchuan Province, as if they were all celestial beings descended from heaven.
My nephew Chen Lie suddenly became rich, like a nouveau riche, nothing special. But this Luo Zhixun doesn't seem to be as amazing as people say. So why was she selected for the provincial youth genius team?
Chen Ye's eyes lit up when he saw Luo Zhixun's beautiful appearance.
To be promoted to the provincial youth genius team, one must have extremely high martial arts aptitude. Chen Lie, a martial arts waste, how could he possibly befriend such a beautiful and talented woman if he hadn't gotten lucky?
Chen Ye was insanely jealous of Chen Lie.
"Auntie, I just heard that Chen Lie's cousin suffered from qi and blood deficiency, which left him with sequelae." Luo Zhixun said to Feng Yuelan, "In fact, if martial arts training does not focus on the progress of qi and strength, but only greedily pursues the rapid increase of qi and blood, it is easy to cause qi and blood instability and develop into qi and blood deficiency."
Although the deficiency of Qi and blood can be cured with appropriate martial arts treasures, it will leave serious sequelae and make it difficult to fully recover.
Coincidentally, my father knows a famous martial arts therapist. I can introduce you to him and help Chen Lie's cousin regulate his qi and blood.
I believe that after treatment by this renowned therapist, even if my Qi and blood cannot be fully restored, they will certainly recover to about 80-90% of their original state.
As she spoke, Luo Zhixun asked Chen Lie to find paper and pen and gave him the therapist's contact information.
"I'll have my father put in a good word. When you contact this therapist, just give them my name."
Luo Zhixun smiled slightly.
That sweet smile captivated Chen Ye instantly.
This female member of the provincial youth prodigy group showed me great care as soon as we met, wanting to treat the aftereffects of my unstable blood and qi.
Could it be that she likes me, that she fell in love with me at first sight?
Thank you.
Chen Lie accepted the therapist's contact information and nodded.
"You're welcome."
Luo Zhixun looked at Chen Lie's parents: "Uncle, Aunt, I have to practice martial arts this afternoon, so I won't disturb you."
After Luo Zhixun finished speaking, she said goodbye to Chen Lie and left his house.
Feng Yuelan and Chen Gequn saw Luo Zhixun off together and watched her board the airship.
As the airship took off, Feng Yuelan suddenly remarked, "The airship's registration number seems to start with 0000?"
Chen Gequn said, "Most of the members of the provincial youth genius group are either rich or noble. It is obvious that Chen Lie's friend also comes from a powerful family and is the child of a high-ranking official in Dongchuan Province."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Gequn turned to look at Chen Guangqun's family who had come out with him and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, there is now a way to treat Chen Ye's aftereffects, so please don't make things difficult for us anymore."
Chen Lie, give the therapist's contact information to your second uncle.
Chen Lie nodded and handed the contact information that Luo Zhixun had written to Chen Guangqun.
Chen Guangqun obtained the method to treat Chen Ye's qi and blood sequelae, and couldn't help but exchange a glance with Chang Guirong.
In this way, they seem to have no reason to ask Chen Lie's family to introduce experts to Chen Ye.
After a period of silence, Chang Guirong and her family left Chen Lie's house.
Back home, Chen Lie sat on the sofa in the living room with his parents.
"Chen Lie, I saw the announcement that you were shortlisted for the provincial youth genius group when I was working in Yunchuan."
Your martial arts achievements have already surpassed those of your cousin Chen Ying.
Chen Gequn looked at Chen Lie with a sense of relief in his eyes.
"Dad, my entry into the provincial youth genius team is just the beginning. I will also go to Blue Star University and Starry Sky University in the future. Just take it easy."
Hearing his son's outrageous words, Chen Gequn did not deny them. Chen Lie was right; it was a certainty that he would be specially admitted to Blue Star University, and there was indeed a certain probability that he would be admitted to Starry Sky University.
He said earnestly, "Chen Lie, I know that you are now considered one of the most outstanding young people in Dongchuan Province. When my colleagues at the company learned that you had been promoted to the provincial youth genius group, they all praised you and said that you are the reincarnation of the Martial Star."
However, Dad still wants to give you a piece of advice: no matter how high your achievements are, you must never be arrogant or conceited. Remember, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your reach.
"I know," Chen Lie nodded.
"I told you before the New Year that I would host a banquet to celebrate your selection as one of the province's top young talents. But let's postpone it. You saw how envious your second aunt is. If we really hold another banquet, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause."
"It's alright, it saves me trouble by not holding a banquet. There will be plenty of opportunities to hold a banquet in the future." Chen Lie nodded.
In the evening, Chen Xingyao returned from the martial arts school. Upon seeing Chen Xingyao's return, Chen Lie immediately took Chen Xingyao to the training room to examine the results of Chen Xingyao's cultivation of the "Azure Phoenix Body Refining Method" and to point out any shortcomings.
That evening, Chen Lie had dinner with his family and then returned to his room.
As soon as Chen Lie entered the room, he heard a green bubble notification sound.
Chen Lie immediately took out his communicator and opened Green Bubble, only to find that it was a message from the provincial group of young geniuses.
Old Man: "Classmates, a new member will be joining us tomorrow."
In addition, the date for the gathering of talents from eight provinces including Sichuan and Shaanxi is approaching. The selection of attendees will be decided tomorrow, and everyone should assemble at the training ground at 8:00 AM tomorrow.
Because the number of members in the provincial youth talent group is very small, no one replied that they received the message.
After reading the notification, Chen Lie tossed the communicator aside.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating the Star Cultivation Method of the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter" once again.
The night passed quickly. When Chen Lie stopped cultivating the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter", he glanced at the time and saw that it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
Chen Lie left the room, casually took a piece of nutritious bread from the refrigerator, and boarded the flying bus to the training ground of the provincial youth genius team.
About twenty minutes later, the flying bus landed at a station not far from the training ground. After getting off the flying bus, Chen Lie immediately headed towards the training ground.
Just as Chen Lie entered the training ground, two young men came out from the gate and blocked his way.
"Kid, where do you think you're going?"
Chen Lie glanced at the two people blocking his way and said, "What do you two want?"
"How about it?" The young man in front chuckled, then his expression turned fierce, and he said menacingly, "I'm warning you, don't be so arrogant. You're just a newly selected member of the provincial genius team. Compared to others, you may think you're superior, but here you're just at the bottom."
If you don't want to cause trouble, stay away from Luo Zhixun from now on.
"Oh? You want me to stay away from Luo Zhixun? Who do you think you are, daring to spout such nonsense in front of me?"
Chen Lie looked at the two young men in front of him. He recognized the one in front as Lu Qingyun, but he had never seen the one behind him before. However, he was sure that he was also a member of the provincial youth genius group.
"You're really arrogant!" Lu Qingyun snorted coldly and said, "Then let me tell you who I am. I am a direct descendant of the Lu family of Dongchuan. I have been a member of the provincial youth genius team for half a year. In last month's martial arts competition, I ranked sixth."
Your prized 1000 kcal of health is less than half of mine.
"Oh? That's impressive? Let me make a call."
Chen Lie expressionlessly pulled out his communicator.
Lu Qingyun sneered: "Try to find connections you like, I want to see what kind of background you can pull out and whether it can suppress me."
"Okay, you wait."
Chen Lie dialed a communicator number directly.
A moment later, the communicator connected and Chen Lie said, "I've run into some trouble, right outside the training ground gate."
After exchanging a few words on the other end of the communicator, Chen Lie said again, "You'll see when you come out and take a look."
Finally, he replied with an "okay".
Lu Qingyun felt that Chen Lie's voice on the communicator sounded familiar, so he asked, "Kid, who are you looking for?"
You'll find out in a minute.
"One minute?"
Lu Qingyun was puzzled.
Soon, Luo Zhixun walked out of the training ground gate.
Seeing Lu Qingyun and another member blocking the training ground gate, she instantly understood and shouted, "Lu Qingyun, what do you think you're doing!"
"Zhi—Zhi Xun?"
Upon seeing Luo Zhixun suddenly appear, Lu Qingyun felt a surge of disgust.
Luo Zhixun came to Chen Lie's side and asked, "Chen Lie, did Lu Qingyun make things difficult for you?"
"It's alright, he just told me to stay away from you."
Luo Zhixun glared angrily at Lu Qingyun: "Lu Qingyun, you're really meddling in other people's business. Even my father doesn't interfere with my social life, but you're meddling in it."
I'm warning you, if you cause Chen Lie any more trouble in any form, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Lu Qingyun said incredulously, "Zhixun, we've been friends for so many years, how can you turn against me for an outsider?"
Luo Zhixun said coldly, "We only interacted when our elders were in official business, and we were just nodding acquaintances. Don't exaggerate."
"We're like oil and water, never interfering with each other. I can be kind and gentle to you, but if you interfere with my social life or deliberately make things difficult for my friends, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Lu Qingyun's face turned pale and then red. He never expected that his sincerity over the years would be less valuable than that of a stranger.
Luo Zhixun said all she had to say and ignored Lu Qingyun, instead saying to Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, come with me into the training area."
"it is good."
Chen Lie nodded and entered the training ground with Luo Zhixun.
Upon entering the training ground, Luo Zhixun instructed, "Chen Lie, if Lu Qingyun causes you any more trouble, you must tell me."
Chen Lie said, "Fine, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"Hmm." Luo Zhixun said, "Actually, Lu Qingyun is more than half a year older than me."
When I first joined the provincial youth genius group, Lu Qingyun was already one of the top ten members of the provincial youth genius group.
Later, my martial arts skills continued to improve, and about two months ago, my strength surpassed that of Lu Qingyun.
After that, Lu Qingyun pestered me relentlessly, even affecting my martial arts practice time to some extent.
"He probably feels that you are more capable than him and is worried that he will not be able to hold onto you in the future, so he is eager to confess his feelings to you and wants to quickly establish a relationship with you."
"I really don't have that kind of thought at all. Besides, this age is a crucial time for cultivating martial arts. Anyone with a bit of ambition wouldn't have such thoughts at this time."
"Lu Qingyun's persistent pestering has caused me a lot of trouble, so I've been giving him negative feedback lately to try and get him to give up his unrealistic ideas," Luo Zhixun said.
Chen Lie nodded and listened to Luo Zhixun's story before arriving at the gathering place of the genius group members.
The gathering place for the genius team members was now packed with people.
Not long after Chen Lie arrived at the location, Gu You arrived as well.
As soon as Gu You arrived, he announced, "Classmates, I announced in the group chat yesterday that a new member would be joining today."
Now, let me introduce our newest member, Song Yixuan.
