The Jiang Household deliberates

Chen Feng looked Liu Mu in the eye and said calmly:

"Don't worry about that, sir. I can take out a loan. I'm sure 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.

As long as Liu Mu didn't spell it out, he would play dumb.

Liu Mu smiled.

"You brat, you're making it sound like we're giving you a hard time. I know you're in a tight spot, so I've already had the finance department transfer a fifty-million-yuan deposit to your company's account. That's an exception in itself."

Blazing Sun Iron sold for roughly twenty thousand yuan per ton, so ten thousand tons came to two hundred million.

A fifty-million-yuan deposit up front was about the limit of what Liu Mu could manage.

Companies working with the state generally had to deliver the goods before receiving payment, and even then, payment would be delayed for a while.

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

"Thank you for your trust, sir."

Chen Feng immediately thanked him. What he needed had arrived just when he needed it.

He had still been worrying about money for equipment, and now here it was.

Fifty million was enough for him to put together a modern military squad, with plenty left over.

It was just that equipment abroad was far too expensive. If only he could buy it through Liu Mu.

But Chen Feng only entertained the thought. Although Liu Mu was the director of the Strategic Equipment Department, if he asked Liu Mu to sell him equipment...

Liu Mu would surely turn hostile on the spot and take him away for questioning.

Liu Mu might help him with other matters.

But if military equipment was involved, he certainly wouldn't let personal ties stand in the way.

Liu Mu chatted briefly with Chen Feng for a little longer before leaving.

Before he left, Liu Mu specifically told Chen Feng that no matter who came looking for him, as long as they were from the authorities, Chen Feng should call him directly, and he would handle it.

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

Lin Wei smiled and said,

"Professor Chen, you really surprised me. You've even been involved in pharmaceutical research."

Curiosity filled Lin Wei's face. Blazing Sun Iron had been enough to amaze her, and now Chen Feng had come up with Wound Healing No. 1.

It made Lin Wei wonder whether Chen Feng had gotten his hands on alien technology.

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

Chen Feng didn't answer Lin Wei's question. Instead, he said, "I heard everything you said in the office. Thank you."

The woman hadn't told Liu Mu that he had asked her about immortal cultivation. She was reasonably trustworthy.

"What's there to thank me for? He's an official, and that has nothing to do with researchers like us."

"By the way, how did that problem you had with absorbing energy last time turn out? Did you solve it?"

Lin Wei asked curiously.

Hearing her question, Chen Feng immediately told her about the difficulty he was currently facing:

"There's a new problem. I originally wanted the animals in the experiment to absorb more energy, but the energy-bearing substances in the surrounding environment have decreased. Even with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, they can't absorb any more."

Lin Wei thought for a moment, then asked,

"Is this kind of energy nonrenewable? Is there any elsewhere?"

Chen Feng replied, "It should be renewable, and there is some elsewhere, but for now I can only stay in that one place."

By Chen Feng's estimation, Spiritual Qi should be renewable.

It just took a long time to recover.

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

Lin Wei looked at Chen Feng hopefully.

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

He decided to draw some Spiritual Qi out of his body for Lin Wei to study.

Although this was a risky move, if no one helped him, there was no way he could solve the problem through his own research alone.

Through their interactions over this period, he had come to understand Lin Wei's character somewhat. She only cared about scientific research.

She was also a smart woman who wouldn't go around talking carelessly.

Besides, in the Painting Scroll World, he couldn't go looking for a cultivation haven to cultivate in.

Leaving Hengduan Mountain meant danger.

The closer he stayed to the teleportation passage, 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.

"All right. Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone about this." Lin Wei's face was full of excitement, as though she were about to explore a new continent.

Chen Feng returned not long after leaving, a glass bottle now in his hand.

"There's some energy in here, but be careful. Once you open the bottle, the energy will dissipate shortly afterward."

Lin Wei immediately took the small glass bottle and examined it carefully. She found that it was transparent, with nothing at all inside.

"This kind of energy can't be seen. All I can tell you is that it's inside the bottle," Chen Feng explained.

He could see Spiritual Qi, but ordinary mortals couldn't see it at all, unless they activated their Spirit Apertures, in which case they could also sense it.

"I understand. Leave it to me. I'll let you know when I have results!"

With that, Lin Wei took the bottle and hurried toward the research lab.

Watching Lin Wei hurry away, Chen Feng smiled helplessly.

Chen Feng then called Li Xiaorou, telling her that the matter of Wound Healing No. 1 had been resolved and asking her to prepare for its launch.

After that, he headed straight for Eagle Sauce Country.

He couldn't delay buying weapons. The Jiang Household's retaliation could come at any time.

The Painting Scroll World, Liuyang Town, the Jiang Household.

The Jiang Household was one of the four major Lineages in Liuyang Town.

As a martial arts Aristocratic Clan, the Jiang Household's influence extended beyond Liuyang Town. Several of the surrounding mountains were also under its control.

At that moment, the Jiang Household's senior members were all gathered in its main hall.

Seated in the main seat was Jiang Yaotian, the head of the Jiang Household.

Jiang Yaotian was at Xiantian Great Perfection, a realm only a handful of people in Liuyang Town had reached.

There were also several Xiantian experts of the Jiang Household in the hall.

Jiang Chen stood in the hall, reporting on the situation.

"Father, that Chen Feng looked no older than me, yet he was able to kill Second Uncle and He Sandao. He must have a secret."

As soon as Jiang Chen returned, he had told his father what had happened.

Jiang Yaotian spoke slowly.

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

The other Jiang Household experts all looked at Jiang Chen as well. Clearly, the household head was testing Jiang Chen's abilities.

Jiang Chen immediately smiled and said,

"I believe that even if Chen Feng doesn't have an immortal's supreme treasure, he must have some other treasure. I don't believe he could have cultivated to Xiantian at such a young age!"

"Please send three elders with me, Father. I guarantee we'll wipe out Hengduan Mountain within a day."

Hearing this, Jiang Yaotian scolded him with a cold look on his face. "Fool! What use are you besides being arrogant and overbearing?"

Hearing Jiang Yaotian's angry scolding, Jiang Chen lowered his head and didn't dare speak, but he still wasn't convinced.

He thought his idea was in the Lineage's interests.

He didn't understand why his father was scolding him.

Jiang Yao spoke up.

"Since you know Chen Feng has a secret, what if he really does possess an immortal's supreme treasure? If you misjudge him and he brings out an immortal's treasure, wouldn't taking people over there be sending yourselves to your deaths?"

"Besides, you directly asked Chen Feng earlier whether he had an immortal's supreme treasure. That has already put him on guard and given him time to prepare a backup plan. Do you realize that?"

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

He hadn't taken Chen Feng very seriously then, so he had asked him directly.

Now, it seemed he really shouldn't have asked that.
