Holding an Auction and Surviving a Nuclear Blast Head-On

A daily revenue of 500,000 is far too little for Chen Feng.

Xingfeng Group now generates tens of millions in revenue per day.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng said to Jack:

"You set up an auction company, then find media outlets to generate buzz, and hold the first auction within seven days, inviting celebrities from all walks of life."

Chen Feng planned to quickly acquire a batch of funds and then use them to purchase the necessary items.

There are far too many things needed to bring the Painting Scroll World into the industrial age. Although Xingfeng Group can earn ten million every day, its cash flow is not much.

Obtaining a large sum of money quickly would solve his immediate problem.

Auctioning off items from the Painting Scroll World in the painting is undoubtedly the fastest way to raise funds.

If something extraordinary were put up for auction in China, it would be inexplicable and might even cause a series of troubles.

Even if it could be explained by its own research and development, the government would definitely allow it to be mass-produced. However, there are some things in the Painting Scroll World that cannot be mass-produced.

But if you hold an auction in the Golden Triangle, there's no problem; if you want something, you just have to pay to buy it.

Chen Feng wasn't afraid if others tried to take it from him.

Now that he has reached the Foundation Establishment, he no longer needs to be as timid and hesitant as before.

Furthermore, he has been hiding in the shadows from the very beginning.

Jack has always been his puppet, so he doesn't have to worry about being exposed.

"An auction house? Boss, what are we auctioning?" Jack looked at Chen Feng with surprise.

Establishing an auction company was something Jack had never considered, because the most important thing about an auction company is not its establishment, but the items being auctioned.

No auction house can be established without attractive items.

Chen Feng said calmly, "When auctioning meteorites, the advertising should say that various kinds of meteorites have been discovered."

He plans to put some rare metals from the Painting Scroll World up for auction.

In the Painting Scroll World, some rare metals are very difficult to obtain and are used to forge special items.

Jack looked surprised when he heard Chen Feng mention the extraterrestrial meteorite.

But considering the pills Chen Feng had given him and the cultivation Cultivation Method allowed him to become extraordinary, Jack wasn't surprised.

If the boss can get his hands on things with supernatural powers, it's only natural that he could get his hands on some extraterrestrial meteorites.

Jack took a deep breath:

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away!"

Setting up an auction company wasn't difficult for Jack; he could simply rent a venue and hire a few auctioneers.

The only real challenge is promotion; effective promotion is essential to attracting enough participants.

"We'll do it when it's light out, no rush."

This auction is just a trial run; initially, there probably won't be many people attending.

But if you bring out good items the first time, the second auction will attract more people.

Jack glanced at the sky and then said:

"It's almost dawn, and since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well cultivate for a while."

Jack was clearly in high spirits.

After practicing martial arts, he was completely transformed; even if he didn't sleep for days and nights, his physical strength could still keep up.

Chen Feng glanced at Jack; Jack's current cultivation level was the fourth level of the Postnatal.

This promotion speed is considered quite fast.

Of course, his rapid improvement was also due to the pills he fed him.

"Has the Eagle Sauce Country sent anyone to cause trouble recently?" Chen Feng asked in turn.

"No, but I think the Eagle Sauce Country might be planning something big."

Jack's expression was grave.

He was actually worried that the Eagle Sauce Country would cause him trouble.

"Okay, be careful. I'm leaving now."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he walked towards the window, but as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stopped.

Chen Feng turned to look at Jack, his eyes deep.

Seeing Chen Feng looking at him with a puzzled expression, Jack asked, "What's wrong, boss?"

With a flick of his right hand, Chen Feng sent a soul imprint flying into Jack's brow.

Jack suddenly felt as if something had been added to his mind.

"Boss, this is..."

Chen Feng replied:

"I've placed a device inside you, so I can sense if you're in danger."

Chen Feng still planted the Soul Imprint on Jack.

Although Jack had followed him for a long time, his loyalty was fairly good.

But he won't challenge human nature.

Moreover, if Jack were captured by the Eagle Sauce Country and subjected to some high-tech interrogation, Jack might just confess everything.

In the modern world, Jack knows the most of his secrets.

Unless he is strong enough to withstand a nuclear bomb and survive, he will never expose himself.

Moreover, this soul imprint will not have any effect on Jack himself, and planting the soul imprint is also an extra layer of insurance.

"Okay, boss." Jack nodded quickly without thinking.

After the soul imprint entered his body, he did not feel anything unusual.

Without lingering with Jack, Chen Feng immediately flew out the window and headed towards the border.

Xingfeng Group.

Chen Feng returned to Xingfeng Group at seven in the morning.

Although his flying sword wasn't on him, he still managed to reach Yunnan Province very quickly thanks to the terrifying speed he gained while in Transcendent State.

It wasn't yet time for the group to start work, and there weren't many people at the entrance of the Xingfeng Group building.

Chen Feng planned to visit Li Xiaorou later and first go to Lin Wei to ask about his cultivation and nuclear weapons.

Upon arriving at the research institute near the group, we found a sentry post next to the institute, where several soldiers were standing guard.

It's not just the research institute; now, the military is responsible for security across all of Xingfeng Group's businesses.

"Academician Chen!"

Several soldiers saluted Chen Feng.

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work!"

The soldiers stood very straight.

"It's not hard work, it's our duty."

Although the soldiers didn't know what kind of research Chen Feng was doing, they all knew that Chen Feng was an academician of the Dragon Academy of Sciences of Sciences.

The Dragon Academy of Sciences may have a small number of academicians, but each one has made enormous contributions to the country.

They certainly deserve their respect.

After greeting the soldiers, Chen Feng entered the research institute.

The research institute was empty; there wasn't a single staff member present. At this hour, the institute's staff hadn't started work yet.

Chen Feng walked straight towards the laboratory where Lin Wei was.

A facial recognition device has been installed at the entrance of the laboratory, which was not there before.

The door opened after the equipment scanned Chen Feng.

Upon entering the laboratory, Chen Feng saw Lin Wei sleeping on the small bed, still wearing a nightgown.

Without disturbing Lin Wei, Chen Feng went to the Spiritual Qi monitoring device.

He had not yet examined his body after entering the Foundation Establishment.

He wanted to see what it would look like after the Spiritual Qi within his body was transformed into spiritual liquid.

After lying on the Spiritual Qi monitoring device, the machine started operating.

This machine is as convenient as a hospital X-ray machine.

After a scan, the machine stopped operating.

Chen Feng immediately looked at the monitoring data.

He discovered that the monitoring data this time was different from the previous ones.

Previously, the machine only provided a map of the distribution of Spiritual Qi within the body, but now it provides a lot more data.

Chen Feng could clearly see that the concentration of Spiritual Qi within his body had increased several times compared to the Qi Refining Stage.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi in different parts of the body is marked with various numerical values.

Just then, Lin Wei's voice came over.

"You're here? Why didn't you call me?" Lin Wei was clearly still sleepy.

Seeing that Lin Wei had woken up, Chen Feng smiled and said, "I just got back. I didn't want to disturb you since you were sleeping."

Lin Wei walked to the monitoring screen and looked at it for a while. Then she perked up and looked at Chen Feng in surprise:

"The concentration of Spiritual Qi in your body has increased so much, and it's even turning into a liquid state?"

Clearly, Lin Wei understood the changes occurring within Chen Feng's body at a glance.

Chen Feng replied:

"After my spiritual Spiritual Qi reached a certain level, it began to transform into a liquid state. What was that solution you mentioned you found for me last time?"

Chen Feng was undoubtedly more concerned about his own cultivation progress.

His cultivation speed has now slowed down.

It wasn't just because of a lack of Spiritual Qi, but more so because the hyperbaric oxygen chamber was no longer providing him with much benefit.

Previously, he used a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to create a sufficiently oxygenated environment so that he could quickly absorb Spiritual Qi.

However, after reaching the Foundation Establishment, Chen Feng discovered that the hyperbaric oxygen chamber was much less effective.

Furthermore, the issue of Transcendent State is something he urgently wants to resolve.

Even after reaching the Foundation Establishment, he still couldn't control his spiritual power.

Once you enter Transcendent State, spiritual energy will fill your entire body. Although the duration is longer, the drawback of wasting spiritual energy still exists.

Lin Wei looked at Chen Feng seriously and said:

"The key point of your previous problem was that as long as you fully activated the Spiritual Qi in your body, the Spiritual Qi would uncontrollably fill your entire body. According to my analysis, this situation is probably because after you used the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to absorb Spiritual Qi, other parts of your body have also developed an affinity for Spiritual Qi."

"With your full power activated, Spiritual Qi will naturally spread throughout your body. Solving this problem is quite simple; it's all about this."

Lin Wei walked to the area where the equipment was placed in the laboratory, took out a bracelet, and handed it to Chen Feng.

This bracelet is about the size of a watch, all silver, and has a small screen on it.

"What's this?" Chen Feng looked at Lin Wei with a puzzled expression.

"I call this a Spiritual Qi Regulator. Once you wear it, it helps you regulate your Spiritual Qi. Simply put, it helps you control the Spiritual Qi in your body, thus avoiding waste."

"Give it a try."

Without waiting for Chen Feng to speak, Lin Wei grabbed Chen Feng's hand and put the bracelet on.

After putting on the bracelet, Chen Feng immediately felt a change in the spiritual energy within his body.

In an instant, he entered Transcendent State.

This time, however, his entry into the Transcendent State was different from before. Normally, once he entered the Transcendent State, his spiritual energy would fill every part of his body.

But now, after entering Transcendent State, his spiritual power did not spread throughout his body, but could be controlled at will.

For example, he can make spiritual energy enter only the skin, instead of filling the bones and blood with spiritual energy.

This change would significantly increase the duration of his Transcendent State.

Lin Wei was completely stunned when she saw Chen Feng's drastically changed appearance.

"You"

The sight of Chen Feng made Lin Wei momentarily dazed; his silver hair and near-perfect face left her lost in thought.

Chen Feng immediately ended his Transcendent State.

The next instant, his appearance returned to normal.

This time, entering Transcendent State, he consumed almost no Spiritual Qi.

It no longer needs to be restored as it used to.

Lin Wei gave Chen Feng a deep look and said:

"Now I understand, that silver-haired immortal was you, wasn't it? You really kept that from me well."

Although Lin Wei is a research fanatic, she is still quite knowledgeable about the news.

She naturally knew about the silver-haired immortal.

She hadn't connected it to Chen Feng before, but after seeing Chen Feng's previous appearance, she understood.

Chen Feng said, "I won't deliberately hide it from you; the more you know, the worse it will be for you."

Chen Feng was telling the truth. Before he reached the Foundation Establishment, he was more cautious in everything he did.

"It's okay, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone about your situation, because you're my number one research subject right now."

Lin Wei's face lit up with excitement, and her gaze toward Chen Feng was filled with fervor.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Lin Wei's blatant gaze, Chen Feng changed the subject and asked:

How did you make this?

It has to be said that after he put this on...

I immediately felt that I had a great deal of control over the spiritual energy in my body.

Lin Wei chuckled:

"This regulator is something I created by combining the functions of sensors and collectors. As long as you use the Spiritual Qi in your body, it will automatically absorb a portion of it and then, based on your control over the Spiritual Qi, feed it back into your body."

"Simply put, it helps you with temporary storage before you apply it. Explaining the underlying principles to you would probably take a whole day. Are you sure you want to listen?"

Chen Feng smiled helplessly, "No need for a detailed explanation, thank you."

Chen Feng's gratitude was heartfelt.

With this Spiritual Qi regulator, the drawbacks of entering Transcendent State will be eliminated.

For example, if he wanted to simply enter Transcendent State to fly, he could fly for at least five hours.

Because all the spiritual energy was used for flying.

In that state, his body was not filled with spiritual energy, so the spiritual energy would not be wasted.

"Another issue is the absorption of Spiritual Qi you mentioned earlier. Some of the Spiritual Qi in your body has already been converted into a liquid state, which means your next step should be to completely convert all the Spiritual Qi in your body into liquid, thereby achieving a complete qualitative change in the Spiritual Qi. Am I right?"

Lin Wei looked at Chen Feng expectantly, wanting to test her theory.

"That's right, that's exactly it. The Spiritual Qi within my body has already transformed into liquid spiritual power."

Lin Wei's statement is actually the same as the advancement of the Foundation Establishment realm.

After a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment, the Spiritual Qi within their body transforms into a liquid state, and then the Spiritual Qi also becomes spiritual power.

Once all the spiritual Spiritual Qi within the body's Spirit Aperture is in a liquid state, one has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

After that, you can try to form your core.

"Can spiritual Spiritual Qi be transformed into spiritual power after being absorbed to a certain extent? This phenomenon is quite consistent with the energy conversion and upgrading in physics."

Lin Wei nodded thoughtfully.

She continued:

"It seems that the amount of Spiritual Qi you will need to absorb in the future is enormous, and the oxygen-rich environment created by the hyperbaric oxygen chamber is indeed insufficient. According to my estimation, even if you have enough Spiritual Qi to absorb, it will take at least twenty years to convert all the Spiritual Qi in your body into liquid."

"My initial idea is to remodel the hyperbaric oxygen chamber for you, so that it can help you absorb Spiritual Qi more quickly."

Lin Wei's words brought a smile to Chen Feng's face.

Lin Wei has helped him solve both the issues of absorbing Spiritual Qi and Transcendent State.

The only problem he will face next is Cultivation Resources.

He has to figure out the Cultivation Method and Spiritual Qi himself.

The only thing Lin Wei could help him with was solving his talent problem.

Chen Feng knew very well that he didn't possess talent.

If it weren't for technological means, he wouldn't have been able to activate his Spirit Aperture.

The path I'm taking now is different from that of other cultivators.

"Also, you'll need to come here for tests every now and then, and I'll conduct research based on your physical condition."

Lin Wei spoke to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng nodded:

"Okay, that's no problem. When will the modified hyperbaric oxygen chamber equipment be developed?"

Lin Wei replied:

"This will take some time, mainly because we don't have a lithography machine. If we had a lithography machine, it would be much faster. With a lithography machine, I could freely design chips for Spiritual Qi devices."

Upon hearing about lithography machines, Chen Feng thought for a moment and realized that he really needed to help Lin Wei get a high-end lithography machine.

He didn't go before because his strength wasn't enough, but now that he's reached the Foundation Establishment and has the Invisibility Technique, he can definitely get one for Lin Wei. No one can be poor if he has to, but his support can't be poor.

"I'll try to find a way. If you need money, you can apply to Li Xiaorou. There's also something else, about nuclear weapons..."

Upon hearing Chen Feng mention nuclear weapons, Lin Wei looked at Chen Feng seriously and asked:

Answer two questions for me first.

"You asked." This was the first time Chen Feng had seen Lin Wei with such a serious expression.

"Did you do the Fukushima nuclear power plant incident? And what is your purpose in researching nuclear weapons?!"

Lin Wei was eager to know the answers to both questions.

The most crucial question is still the last one.

Although she is a research fanatic, it doesn't mean she would help Chen Feng destroy the world; such a weapon would be far too dangerous for human society.

As for the Fukushima nuclear power plant, Lin Wei didn't think much of it; on the contrary, she was quite happy when she received the news.

She didn't have a good impression of Japan, the Cherry Blossom Country.

"That was indeed what I did, because I needed nuclear fuel. As for why I researched nuclear weapons, I can't tell you for now. I can only say that I will not use nuclear weapons to destroy existing human civilization."

Chen Feng didn't intend to hide this from Lin Wei; it was better to be clear about it.

Hearing Chen Feng's affirmative answer, Lin Wei was filled with surprise:

"Did you handle the nuclear power plant project all by yourself? And that fire dragon mentioned in the news, did you create that too?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly, but did not answer Lin Wei. Instead, he opened his palm.

As he opened his palm, a fireball appeared in his hand.

Seeing this amazing scene, Lin Wei was completely stunned.

She suddenly shouted excitedly:

"My guess was right, my guess was indeed right!"

Seeing Lin Wei's seemingly erratic behavior, Chen Feng asked, "What guess?"

Lin Wei immediately said:

"Quantum entangled spiritual energy bodies can enable life forms to evolve, thereby granting them the ability to influence the surrounding matter. The abilities you've demonstrated validate my hypothesis!"

"Quantum entangled spiritual energy body?" Chen Feng looked at Lin Wei with doubt.

"It's Spiritual Qi, quantum entangled spiritual energy body is the scientific name I gave it." Lin Wei's face was flushed with excitement.

She spoke again:

"You know, as I delve deeper into the study of Spiritual Qi, I've discovered that this energy is far more complex than I imagined. It can even be applied to various fields, but I'm only at the initial stage of research right now. The fireball you just condensed undoubtedly confirms my conjecture."

Looking at Lin Wei's shining eyes, Chen Feng didn't feel much empathy; perhaps this was the dedication of researchers.

Chen Feng immediately said:

"We'll talk about that later. Let's discuss nuclear weapons first."

He had no desire to delve into this topic with Lin Wei; his primary objective was to quickly develop the nuclear weapons.
