Chapter 81 The Difference Between Immortals and Mortals
Lu Qidong, having recovered from his shock, said, "Chen Lie's blood and qi values have increased so much in such a short time. Could there be any hidden dangers?"
For example, regarding stamina?
Chen Lie didn't want his parents to worry, so he said, "No, I just had my strength tested at the martial arts gym today, and it's completely up to standard."
"Is this constitution that terrifying? Then your Qi and blood value won't keep increasing at this rapid rate in the future, right?" Lu Qidong asked.
Chen Gequn replied, "Probably not. Martial arts become increasingly difficult. It's understandable to be faster in the early stages, but later on, you can only rely on your own efforts."
Lu Qidong said, "Even if it's not as fast as it is now, it definitely won't be much slower, since we've already passed the most difficult stage of improving our Qi and Blood values."
As he spoke, Lu Qidong looked at Chen Lie with a kind expression: "Chen Lie, do you remember what I mentioned to you before?"
I knew your Qi and Blood levels were too low before, and I was afraid that raising them too much would affect your martial arts training, so I didn't say much.
Now that your Qi and Blood levels have increased, and Qingchan is about to return to the Lu family, since you two are both in the elite class, why not take this opportunity to spend more time together?
The power struggles within large families are too brutal, and I don't want Qingchan to get caught up in this vortex.
Your father and I have a life-or-death bond. If you and Qingchan are together, I can feel a little more at ease.
Upon hearing her father's words, Lu Qingchan felt a surge of resentment, blaming him for talking nonsense and playing matchmaker. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Chen Lie speak first.
"My Qi and Blood value is not even a fraction of Lu Qingchan's. She is a fairy, and I am just a mortal. There is a difference between us, and I am not worthy of her."
So Uncle Lu, it's best not to play matchmaker, lest you end up losing all your friends.
"Why do you talk so rudely, kid?"
Upon hearing Chen Lie's reply, Lu Qidong couldn't help but shake his head.
Lu Qingchan looked at Chen Lie with a surprised expression.
He actually refused? Why?
He used to get excited and grin like an idiot whenever his dad mentioned this before, so why did he refuse so decisively this time?
Am I not attractive enough?
Could it be because I cut my bangs half a month ago because I thought they were in the way when I was practicing martial arts?
That shouldn't be the case.
Although Chen Lie's words implied that he was not good enough for her, his concise tone told her that this was not the case at all.
Chen Lie's refusal puzzled Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan, but Chen Xingyao seemed to know everything and said, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Lu, and Sister Lu, my brother is probably dating someone. I came back yesterday and saw him bring a girl home. It must be that girl."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuelan immediately asked, "You saw it? What did it look like?"
"She's very beautiful and has a great presence. She's almost half a head taller than me. I feel like my brother isn't good enough for her."
Chen Xingyao said.
"Really? Chen Lie?" Feng Yuelan immediately asked Chen Lie.
Chen Lie explained, "No, just a friend."
After Chen Xingyao's explanation, Lu Qidong also dropped the matter of trying to match his daughter with Chen Lie.
During the meal, Chen Xingyao suddenly noticed the decorative bracelet on Lu Qingchan's wrist.
"Sister Lu, we're wearing the same bracelet today, look!"
As he spoke, Chen Xingyao extended his right hand.
Lu Qingchan glanced at it and found that it was indeed true.
Both her and Chen Xingyao's bracelets were dark purple stone-shaped, but the one Chen Xingyao wore was a full size larger than hers.
Lu Qingchan simply smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence."
She knew Chen Xingyao's family background well, so she was certain that the crystal bracelet Chen Xingyao wore was definitely not the same as hers.
This crystal bracelet was given to her by her aunt a few days ago when she accompanied her father to visit her grandfather at the Lu family home.
According to her mother, this bracelet is made from a special extraterrestrial crystal. Wearing it for a long time can calm the mind and promote the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, which is very beneficial to the practice of martial arts.
Such rare crystal bracelets made from extraterrestrial crystals are so rare that even among the younger generation of the Lu family, only a few possess them.
Its value is at least tens of millions of star coins, and it is even more difficult to find a buyer. It cannot be measured by money alone. Without sufficient social status, you can forget about buying it even if you pay a premium.
"It doesn't seem like a coincidence. Look, the two bracelets even have the same color, brightness, and frequency of flashing light," Chen Xingyao said.
Lu Qingchan looked closely and it seemed to be true: "I'll pour a glass of boiling water and try it."
As she spoke, she poured a glass of hot water and placed it on the dining table.
"Yaoyao, could you take off your bracelet for a moment? I want to test it on you," Lu Qingchan said.
"OK!"
Chen Xingyao nodded, took off the bracelet, and handed it to Lu Qingchan.
Lu Qingchan took the crystal bracelet and immediately placed it in a cup of boiling water.
In just a few seconds, she took out the crystal and found that the boiling water had become cool.
"This bracelet—it's actually made of special extraterrestrial crystals?" Lu Qingchan murmured.
"Sister Lu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Lu Qingchan snapped out of her reverie, looked at Chen Xingyao, and asked, "Yaoyao, where did you get this bracelet?"
"It was a gift from someone else," Chen Xingyao said.
"Delivered? Who would send something so valuable?"
"Valuable? Is this bracelet very precious?" Chen Xingyao asked, puzzled.
Lu Qingchan nodded: "It is very precious. It is made of a special crystal produced from outer space. Wearing it for a long time can promote blood circulation and concentrate the mind and vital energy."
Its value is in the tens of millions of star coins, but that's not necessarily true, because even with money, without the corresponding channels, it can't be purchased.
"What? Ten million star coins? This thing is so expensive?"
Chen Xingyao was taken aback, then asked doubtfully, "Could there be a mistake?"
"Probably not. Look, a cup of boiling water, the crystal cools down in just a few seconds."
This bracelet of mine has the same function; it was a gift from an elder of the Lu family a few days ago.
Who gave you this crystal bracelet?
"yes-"
Just as Chen Xingyao was about to answer, she suddenly looked at Chen Lie with a face full of horror.
"Brother, are you a super-rich woman now? You just give away tens of millions of star coins like that?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Feng Yuelan immediately shouted angrily from the side.
"Mom, this bracelet, worth tens of millions of star coins, was given to me by the girl my brother brought home yesterday."
What more can I say? It's just a small gift, nothing more.
"What else could she be but a rich woman?" Chen Xingyao explained.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuelan looked directly at Chen Lie and asked him, but Chen Lie replied directly, "My father also knows about this."
It was a member of a powerful family from Yunchuan who asked me to exchange something.
Because what I exchanged with her was something she desperately needed, she felt she had gotten a great deal in the transaction, which is why she gave it to Yao Yao.
Chen Gequn's expression turned serious, and he nodded, saying, "That's right, Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense anymore."
The person who gave you this gift is a top-tier scion of the Yun Chuan Chuan elite, the fourth-generation heir of the Lingfeng Group. As far as I know, he is one of the most outstanding martial arts geniuses among the younger generation in Yun Chuan Chuan.
"Such a prestigious background?"
As soon as his father uttered the words "heir to the Lingfeng Group," Chen Xingyao knew what that meant.
When did my brother become so capable? How did he become able to mingle with the children of the powerful and wealthy?
"Is it the Lingfeng Group where you work?" Lu Qidong asked.
"Not bad!" Chen Gequn nodded.
"That's really strange. Not to mention Yunchuan, even the martial arts geniuses of Dongchuan have their own social circles."
Those who meet their standards are only those of equal ability; they never show any respect to those who are inferior to them.
"To condescend to come back with Chen Lie and even gift Yao Yao a crystal bracelet from outer space is truly a display of respect for talent," Lu Qidong said.
Chen Gequn then said, "Chen Lie, did you take this opportunity to ask someone to give you some pointers on martial arts?"
Chen Lie shook his head: "She can't give me any pointers."
"You're too shy to speak up, aren't you? What a pity, you've missed an opportunity."
Chen Gequn couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Qingchan looked at Chen Lie in surprise. She roughly understood why her friend Li Muge had sent those messy messages through Green Bubble yesterday.
With over two thousand calories of Qi and Blood, is this the strength of Yun Chuanchuan, a martial arts genius?
As expected, Dongchuan is far superior.
After the meal, Lu Qidong and Lu Qingchan took their leave.
Chen Xingyao approached Chen Lie and asked, "Brother, what should we do with this crystal bracelet?"
Chen Lie said, "Since I gave it to you, it's yours. Wear it."
"But this is too expensive, isn't it?" Chen Xingyao couldn't help but say.
"Since you got it for free, just wear it like a decorative bracelet worth a few hundred star coins."
"Huh?"
Chen Xingyao wanted to say something, but saw that Chen Lie had already returned to his room.
"Why does it feel like my brother has become a different person lately? His energy level has suddenly increased so much, and the key is that he doesn't even come to show off to me. This is so abnormal!"
Chen Xingyao muttered to himself.
In the past, when she and Chen Lie had a disagreement, she would say one thing and Chen Lie would retort with ten. What's wrong with her lately?
Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned to his room and began cultivating the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter" all night to create his sea of consciousness.
The second star of the Ghost Constellation in the Southern Seven Mansions also began to faintly shimmer during Chen Lie's cultivation.
Chen Lie thought that once Wang Kui received the subsidy for him as a Divine Sense Master, his mental strength would once again experience a period of rapid improvement.
At that time, I dare not say that I can light up all the stars of the seven southern constellations, but I still have hope of lighting up six of them.
The construction of the Seven Mansions of the Southern Heaven is merely a basic level of the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter".
He still remembered the scene from his previous life when he stood at a distance, watching the successor of the Tai'a Star Province Martial Arts Training Academy fight against the top geniuses of the Central Galaxy Empire.
