Chapter 32: The Jiang Family Deliberation

Chen Feng looked into Liu Mu's eyes and said calmly

"Don't worry, Director. I can take out a loan; I believe the bank will approve it."

Liu Mu had just placed extra emphasis on the words "raw materials," but Chen Feng simply pretended not to hear him.

As long as Liu Mu didn't state it explicitly, Chen Feng would play dumb.

Liu Mu smiled

"You kid, you're making it sound like we're making things difficult for you. I know you're in a tight spot. I've already had the finance department transfer a fifty-million-yuan deposit into your company's account. This is considered an exception."

One ton of Flame Sun Iron sells for approximately 20,000 yuan, so ten thousand tons would be 200 million.

Providing a fifty-million-yuan deposit was the limit of what Liu Mu could do.

Generally, when working with the state, enterprises deliver the goods first before receiving payment, and even then, there is often a delay.

After all, going through the official procedures takes a lot of time.

"Thank you for your trust, Director."

Chen Feng expressed his gratitude immediately. It was truly a case of getting exactly what he needed right when he needed it.

He had been worrying about the money to buy equipment, and now, here it was.

Fifty million was enough for him to assemble a modernized small military squad, with plenty of money left over.

However, foreign equipment was simply too expensive; it would be great if he could buy it through Liu Mu.

But that was just a thought. Although the man was the Director of the Strategic Equipment Department, if Chen Feng asked to buy equipment from him, Liu Mu would surely lose his temper on the spot and take him away for interrogation.

Liu Mu might help him with other matters, but if it involved military equipment, he wouldn't show any sentimentality whatsoever.

After chatting with Chen Feng for a while longer, Liu Mu departed.

Before leaving, Liu Mu specifically instructed Chen Feng that no matter who came looking for him, as long as they were from an official level, he should give him his number and he would handle it.

At the main gate of the factory area, Chen Feng and Lin Wei saw off Liu Mu's car.

Lin Wei said with a smile

"Professor Chen, you truly surprise me. You're even involved in pharmaceutical research."

Lin Wei's face was full of curiosity. The Flame Sun Iron was already enough to amaze her, and now Chen Feng had come up with this "Healing No. 1."

This made Lin Wei wonder if Chen Feng had obtained technology from aliens.

Only that could explain how he could conduct research across different fields and achieve such great success.

Chen Feng did not answer Lin Wei's inquiry, but instead said, "I heard everything you said in the office. Thank you."

The fact that this woman hadn't told Liu Mu about his inquiries regarding cultivation meant she was reliable.

"There's nothing to thank me for. He's a leader; he has nothing to do with us researchers."

"By the way, how is that issue with absorbing energy? Have you solved it?" Lin Wei asked curiously.

Hearing her question, Chen Feng immediately stated the difficulty he was currently facing

"A new problem has arisen. I originally wanted the experimental animals to absorb more energy, but even with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, they cannot absorb more because the energy matter in the surrounding environment has decreased."

Hearing this, Lin Wei thought for a moment and then asked

"Is this energy non-renewable? Is it available elsewhere?"

Chen Feng replied, "It should be renewable, and it exists elsewhere, but currently, I can only stay in that specific location."

Based on Chen Feng's estimation, spiritual qi was likely renewable, though it would take a long time to recover.

"Let me go back and think about it. It would be best if we could find that kind of energy; I could find a solution much faster."

Lin Wei looked at Chen Feng with eyes full of hope.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for me a moment."

He decided to extract some spiritual qi from his body to give to Lin Wei for research.

Although this move was risky, if no one helped him, it would be impossible to solve the problem through his own research alone.

Through their interactions during this period, he had come to understand Lin Wei's personality; she was solely focused on scientific research.

Moreover, she was a smart woman who wouldn't go around talking nonsense.

Additionally, he couldn't go looking for cultivation grounds in the Scroll World.

Leaving the Hengduan Mountains meant danger.

The closer he was to the teleportation channel, the safer he would be.

After all, if he encountered a powerful enemy, he could abandon the Xingfeng Sect and return directly to the modern world.

"Okay, don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone about this." Lin Wei's face was filled with excitement, as if she were about to explore a new continent.

Chen Feng returned not long after his departure, holding a glass bottle in his hand.

"There is some energy inside, but you must be careful. Once you open the bottle, the energy will dissipate in a moment."

Lin Wei immediately took the small glass bottle and examined it closely. She found that the bottle was transparent and appeared to contain nothing at all.

"This kind of energy is invisible. I can only tell you that it is inside the bottle," Chen Feng explained.

He could see spiritual qi, but mortals could not see it at all unless they activated their spiritual apertures to sense it.

"I understand. Leave it to me! I'll notify you as soon as there are results!"

With that, Lin Wei hurried toward the laboratory with the bottle.

Watching Lin Wei's hurried departure, Chen Feng smiled helplessly.

Chen Feng then called Li Xiaorou to explain that the matter regarding Healing No. 1 was resolved and told her to prepare for the company's listing.

Afterward, he headed straight for the Eagle Nation.

The matter of purchasing weapons could not be delayed; the Jiang family's retaliation could come at any time.

***

Scroll World, Liuyang Town, Jiang Family.

The Jiang family was one of the four great families of Liuyang Town.

As a martial arts clan, the Jiang family's influence extended beyond Liuyang Town; several surrounding mountains were under their control.

At this moment, in the Jiang family's main hall, the high-ranking members of the family were gathered.

Sitting in the seat of honor was the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yaotian.

Jiang Yaotian was at the Great Perfection of the Xiantian realm, a level that only a few people in Liuyang Town had reached.

There were also several other Xiantian experts from the Jiang family in the hall.

Jiang Chen was standing in the center of the hall, reporting the situation.

"Father, that Chen Feng looks to be about my age, yet he was able to kill Second Uncle and He Sandao. This person must have a secret."

As soon as Jiang Chen returned, he informed his father of the matter.

Jiang Yaotian spoke slowly

"Chen'er, then what do you think we should do?"

The other Jiang family experts also looked toward Jiang Chen. It was obvious that the patriarch was testing Jiang Chen's ability.

Jiang Chen immediately said with a smile

"I believe that even if Chen Feng does not possess an immortal treasure, he must have some other treasure. I refuse to believe he reached the Xiantian realm at such a young age!"

"I request Father to dispatch three elders to accompany me. I guarantee that I will sweep through the Hengduan Mountains within a single day."

Hearing this, Jiang Yaotian cursed with a cold expression, "Fool! What use are you besides being arrogant and overbearing?"

Hearing Jiang Yaotian's angry rebuke, Jiang Chen lowered his head, not daring to speak, but he was still dissatisfied in his heart.

He felt his idea aligned with the family's interests.

He did not understand why his father was scolding him.

Jiang Yaotian continued

"Since you know Chen Feng has a secret, what if he truly possesses an immortal treasure? If you make a mistake in judgment and the opponent reveals an immortal treasure, aren't you just leading your men to their deaths?"

"Furthermore, you directly asked Chen Feng before if he had an immortal treasure. Do you realize that this has already made him wary and prepared countermeasures?"

Jiang Chen's face stiffened. He had indeed asked Chen Feng that question at the time.

Because he hadn't taken Chen Feng seriously back then, he had asked directly.

Looking at it now, he realized he indeed shouldn't have asked that way.
