Jack Prepares for Season S3

At the foot of Hengduan Mountain, Lin Qishuang arrived, but she did not choose to directly use her magical Law Artifact to fly up Hengduan Mountain.

According to the information Da Yu obtained, Hengduan Mountain can be considered the core of the Xingfeng Sect.

Flying into the heart of a power's territory without permission would certainly be seen as a provocation.

Moreover, she came to the Xingfeng Sect to resolve the grudge between herself and Da Yu, so she naturally had to be more cautious.

The martial artists from the Xingfeng Sect guarding the mountain path had already spotted Lin Qishuang.

The martial artists immediately became alert.

The martial artists all drew their guns and pointed them at Lin Wei.

Who are you?

Lin Qishuang looked at the several Xingfeng Sect warriors and said seriously:

"My name is Lin Qishuang of the Great Yu Dynasty. I have come to your esteemed sect to resolve the misunderstanding between our Great Yu and your sect."

Although the two people in front of her were only low-level martial artists, Lin Qishuang did not put on airs.

Instead, her attention was focused on the guns held by the two warriors.

This thing has such a unique shape; it must be the special hidden weapon mentioned in the information.

Upon hearing "Da Yu," the two martial artists exchanged a glance.

"You wait."

After speaking, one of the martial artists took out a walkie-talkie to make contact.

Liu Qian had already informed them of the arrival of the people from Dayu.

Lin Qishuang stood at the entrance of the mountain path and began to observe her surroundings.

She discovered a city not far away, which was clearly still under construction.

Suddenly, Lin Qishuang seemed to realize something, and she immediately looked up at the sky.

A helicopter was seen flying towards the Xingfeng Sect from the sky.

"A flying treasure? No, why doesn't this thing have any spiritual energy fluctuations!"

A look of surprise flashed in Lin Qishuang's eyes.

They, the Great Yu, also possess flying treasures, but these flying treasures are mostly powered by formations and Spirit Stone.

Any operation that operates will inevitably generate fluctuations in spiritual energy.

However, she couldn't detect any spiritual power in the flying treasure before her.

At this moment, the martial artist from the Xingfeng Sect standing in front of Lin Qishuang waved to the helicopter in the sky and said:

"Sister Zhou Jing, you're back!"

Lin Qishuang looked at the martial artist with suspicion.

That flying artifact is incredibly far above the ground. If you try to talk to a helicopter from here, would they even be able to hear you?

But soon, Lin Qishuang was stunned.

A female voice came from a black box hanging around the chest of the martial artist.

"My work in Ningguo is temporarily finished. I'm back to refuel and plan to rest for a couple of days before heading to other countries."

The martial artist chuckled and said into the walkie-talkie, "Sister Zhou Jing, when are you going to take me out for a stroll? I'd like to ride in a helicopter too."

"Sure, you can apply to Manager Liu for a position in another branch, and I can take you there with me."

"Never mind then, I still prefer to stay at the sect headquarters."

Watching the martial artist in front of her converse with the black box, Lin Qishuang felt a surge of emotions welling up inside her.

The flying artifact was at least a kilometer above the ground.

At such a height, this martial artist was actually able to communicate in real time with the flying artifact.

What kind of tactic is this?

If these two were cultivators, Lin Qishuang wouldn't have thought anything of it.

Cultivators can use spiritual sense to transmit sound, or they can use sound transmission talismans.

But these two weren't communicating using spiritual sense or telepathy; they were communicating through a black box.

At this moment, Lin Qishuang felt that the Xingfeng Sect was probably more complex than she had imagined.

Just then, a car drove up on the mountain road.

The car stopped in front of Lin Qishuang, and the martial artist driving spoke:

"Come on up."

Lin Qishuang was stunned once again as she stared at the square object with four wheels in front of her.

The martial artist beside her seemed to know that Lin Qishuang had never seen a car before, so he walked over, opened the car door, and said:

"Go inside, and he will lead you to the door."

Hearing this, Lin Qishuang came to her senses and then carefully entered the car.

As soon as Lin Qishuang sat inside the car, she felt that the seat cushion was very soft.

Soon, the car drove straight up the mountain road.

Today, Xingfeng Sect has built several roads in the Hengduan Mountain.

These roads are paved with bluestone to facilitate the passage of cars.

Feeling the car move across the ground, Lin Qishuang was speechless for a moment.

As a direct descendant of the Dayu royal family, Lin Qishuang possessed a wealth of knowledge and experience.

But after arriving at the Xingfeng Sect, she felt like a complete country bumpkin who knew nothing.

There are many things here that she simply cannot understand.

Whether it was the previous flying object or this moving car.

This made Lin Qishuang feel uneasy.

In no time at all, the car drove into the Xingfeng Sect.

Lin Qishuang also met Liu Qian in the sect's council hall.

Liu Gan said with a smile:

"I am Liu Qian, the manager of the Xingfeng Sect!"

Although Lin Qishuang was an immortal, Liu Qian remained neither humble nor arrogant.

Lin Qishuang was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected the person she was going to talk to to be an ordinary person.

However, Lin Qishuang did not underestimate Liu Qian. The fact that the other party could sit in the position of manager of the Xingfeng Sect as a mortal was definitely extraordinary.

"I wonder if Sect Leader Chen is here?" Lin Qishuang asked politely.

Liu Qian replied, "My sect leader is in seclusion. Commander Lin, you can talk to me about anything."

Hearing this, Lin Qishuang felt somewhat disappointed.

Actually, she had another purpose for coming here this time, which was to meet the sect leader of the Xingfeng Sect.

It seems we won't be able to see it now.

Lin Qishuang spoke up:

"I am here on behalf of the Great Yu to resolve this misunderstanding with your esteemed family. Previously, our Great Yu sent troops to the Northern Border because we listened to the slander of petty people. Now the matter has been investigated and clarified. This whole affair was deliberately provoked by others, and I have brought the culprit with me."

After Lin Qishuang finished speaking, she immediately patted her Storage Bag, and dozens of heads appeared on the floor of the council hall.

These heads clearly belonged to the Third Prince and other high-ranking officials of the Yue Kingdom.

The martial artists surrounding the council hall watched Lin Qishuang warily; she was a cultivator, and they dared not be careless.

Liu Qian smiled slightly:

"I see. I was wondering why such a small sect like ours would require your country to send such a large army. It was a misunderstanding, after all."

Liu Qian looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lin Qishuang immediately said:

"Steward Liu, please speak your mind directly. I can fully represent the Great Yu."

Liu Qian sighed and said:

"To be honest, after news of your country's preparations to send troops reached the Northern Border, the martial arts forces there either fled or planned to surrender, plunging the entire Northern Border into chaos. We paid a heavy price to stabilize the situation, and the losses this time have been enormous for us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qishuang was speechless.

If we're talking about losses, can any of them be as great as the losses suffered by Dayu?

According to their ancestor, Xingfeng Sect's bombing this time almost destroyed half of Dayu Peak.

Sixteen Qi Refining cultivators died, and the number of martial artists was countless.

Furthermore, the spiritual fields cultivated by the immortal cultivation Lineage on Dayu Peak were also destroyed.

Even knowing that Liu Qian was lying, Lin Qishuang still smiled.

"Steward Liu, we, the Great Yu, are willing to compensate your family for your losses. May I ask what you require?"

Lin Qishuang knew that if she didn't hand over something, Xingfeng Sect wouldn't let the matter rest.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian also spoke without any politeness:

"Our sect leader is very short of Spirit Stone for cultivation, so we don't need many. A few hundred thousand Spirit Stone will suffice as a token."

"Over ten thousand Spirit Stone?" Lin Qishuang almost thought she had misheard.

Liu Qian frowned. "What, does your country not even have this much Spirit Stone?"

Lin Qishuang looked at Liu Qian and said with a wry smile:

"Manager Liu, being a mortal, should be unaware of the current situation in Yingzhou. Due to the withering of the Spirit Vein, most of the Spirit Stone in Yingzhou are now obtained from ancient ruins. We, the Great Yu, simply cannot afford to produce tens of thousands of Spirit Stone."

Lin Qishuang felt that Xingfeng Sect Xingfeng Sect asking for so many Spirit Stone, and that it would be better to fight them to the death.

"I see. Then I wonder how much Commander Lin can offer?"

Liu Qian didn't actually know the specific value of the Spirit Stone, and he hadn't expected the Great Yu to give him anything good this time.

He was just using this as an opportunity to extort money; he was afraid that if he pushed the Great Yu Dynasty too far, they would resort to desperate measures.

The strength of the great nation of Yingzhou is not so simple.

Even if Xingfeng Sect used up all its current missiles, it wouldn't be enough to destroy Dayu.

"Two thousand, that's the most I can afford."

Lin Qishuang gave a number; this was all the Spirit Stone she had on her.

"Okay, then two thousand it is." Liu Qian agreed.

Lin Qishuang didn't waste any words and took out a Storage Bag, handing it directly to Liu Qian.

As if she had thought of something, Lin Qishuang suddenly said:

"Please inform Sect Leader Chen that a Golden Core Realm will open in six months. If Sect Leader Chen lacks Cultivation Resources, he is welcome to participate. With your sect's strength, you are already qualified to enter this Golden Core Realm."

Lin Qishuang suddenly thought of this matter as well, realizing that her chances of competing for this Golden Core Secret Realm were slim.

Even if she could break through to the Foundation Establishment, she still wouldn't be able to defeat geniuses like Ge Yunxuan who had already reached the Foundation Establishment.

It would be better to invite the sect leader of the Xingfeng Sect over; that way, we could at least do him a favor.

Liu Qian nodded. "Okay, I'll tell the sect leader about this later."

"Then I'll take my leave." Lin Qishuang said, turning and departing.

She needs to hurry back to Dayu to inform her ancestor of the situation here.

Lin Qishuang walked to the door, then suddenly stopped and glanced in a certain direction.

She had just sensed someone watching her, but couldn't see anything.

"Please proceed," urged the martial artist from the Xingfeng Sect who was driving.

Seeing this, Lin Qishuang had no choice but to get into the car. She had originally wanted to visit the Xingfeng Sect, but now it seemed like the opportunity had come.

The car drove away quickly, and Chen Feng walked over from a distance.

Chen Feng originally planned to return to the modern world, but with Lin Qishuang's appearance, he had to temporarily abandon his plans to go back.

After all, he is a cultivator, so I still need to be careful.

"Sect Master!" Liu Qian walked out of the council hall.

He then handed the Storage Bag that Lin Qishuang had given him to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the Storage Bag and glanced at it; inside were two thousand low-grade Spirit Stone.

Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Great powers are still the richest."

He had only obtained a few Spirit Stone from Zhao Sha, one of the cultivators from the six kingdoms of Yingzhou.

The other cultivators didn't even have a single Spirit Stone.

In the Great Yu Dynasty, cultivators could casually spend thousands of Spirit Stone.

"Sect Master, Lin Qishuang said she will open a Golden Core Realm in six months and invited you to go with her."

Liu Qian briefly repeated what Lin Qishuang had said earlier.

Chen Feng nodded after listening:

"I understand. Keep a close watch inside. I'm going into seclusion for a while. If there's any unusual activity from the Great Yu, you don't need to ask me. Just have Wang Hu order the missiles to be used."

It would be a lie to say Chen Feng wasn't tempted by the Golden Core Secret Realm.

The cave abode of cultivators in ancient times must have contained many valuable items.

However, even if he were to go, he would have to be fully prepared. Without nuclear weapons, Chen Feng would not take the risk.

After giving Liu Qian his instructions, Chen Feng left.

The modern world, the Golden Triangle.

Jack was fast asleep in his bedroom.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in through the window.

Jack was jolted awake from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw a figure standing at the head of his bed.

Jack instantly snapped out of his daze and immediately grabbed the Soul Refining Banner from the bedside table.

He carried the Soul Refining Banner with him almost every day, even keeping it on his bed while he slept, all to prevent himself from being ambushed.

"It's me."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Jack's expression immediately relaxed, then brightened with joy.

"Boss!"

Jack would never mistake his boss's voice.

He then turned on the room lights and got dressed.

Although he didn't understand why his boss was looking for him at four in the morning, Jack didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Chen Feng sat on the sofa in the room and looked at Jack, saying:

Has the Dragon Country contacted you in the last couple of days?

Chen Feng originally planned to return directly to Yunnan Province, but he had some things to tell Jack, so he came over instead.

Jack immediately said:

"Yes, Director Zhong is planning to have me lead a team to mine that special ore and then sell it to a company called Xingfeng Group. I was just about to discuss this with you, boss."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng understood the country's decision.

The government intends to directly provide this raw material supply to his group.

The government is only responsible for acquiring Phantom Paint from Xingfeng Group.

This would undoubtedly save Chen Feng a lot of trouble; it was simply a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other.

If he can just lower the price of Phantom Paint a little, he can explain it to the government.

"You don't need to worry about this. If Zhong Shan asks you, just say that you've already reached an agreement with Xingfeng Group, and you don't need to say anything more about the price."

This kind of transfer from one hand to the other can naturally be done by him alone.

We can just have Jack make a show of sending a few truckloads of ore back to China.

Hearing this, Jack was a little confused:

"Boss, if Xingfeng Group comes to discuss this, what should I do?"

Jack's voice abruptly stopped halfway through his sentence.

He had realized that Xingfeng Group was likely Chen Feng's business, otherwise Chen Feng wouldn't have said that.

Jack was shocked; he hadn't expected his boss to have businesses in Dragon Country.

How's the situation here lately?

Chen Feng then asked a question.

Jack immediately replied:

"Boss, I have taken full control of the territories of two warlords, along with a portion of their forces. My manpower has now expanded to 20,000, and we have also taken over two secret military factories that specialize in producing firearms and ammunition."

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised to hear about the military factory.

"What's the production volume like? What weapons can it produce?"

Military factories are undoubtedly what Chen Feng urgently needs; it's much more convenient to manufacture weapons himself than to buy them from others.

"One of them manufactures firearms, specifically rifles and pistols. The accuracy of their products isn't very good. If they operate at full capacity, they can produce about five hundred rifles a day."

"The other factory specializes in producing bullets, and it produces 100,000 bullets a day."

Jack explained the production capacity of the military factory.

Chen Feng nodded slightly. Although the output was relatively low, it was enough.

Chen Feng plans to move the military factory there once Xingfeng Sect enters the industrial age.

Now that Xingfeng Sect rules over the six kingdoms of Yingzhou, they have no shortage of manpower.

"How much money do you have left?" Chen Feng asked again.

Jack replied:

"We've taken over some warlord businesses, and our security company is also taking on external projects. After deducting expenses, we can make a profit of around 500,000 per day. The biggest expense is still personnel costs."

Jack has been recruiting for the past two days; if he had enough money, he would have hired even more people.

The reason is simple: he felt that his boss was definitely preparing to start Season 3.

We need to recruit more people now so we can gain a foothold in the chaos to come.
