The Crisis of the Twenty-Thousand-Strong Army!

As soon as the call connected, Liu Mu's voice came from the other end. "Little Chen, are you at the factory?"

Chen Feng replied, "I'm at the factory."

You haven't forgotten what day it is today, have you?

Chen Feng replied, "Of course not, aren't we visiting the military region today?"

"Okay, don't bring your phone, and don't bring any filming equipment or electronic devices. A car will pick you up from the factory in half an hour."

"Yes, boss."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng glanced at the briefcase in his hand.

It will be another half hour before Liu Mu's men arrive.

Half an hour in the modern world is three hours in the Painting Scroll World, enough time for me to test this Spiritual Qi collector.

Within the Painting Scroll World, Chen Feng appeared in a secret chamber.

Upon entering the secret room, he activated the environmental Spiritual Qi collection function of the Spiritual Qi collector.

This function can collect the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding air, within a range of five kilometers.

After activating this feature, the silver suitcase's side screen displays the Spiritual Qi energy concentration value.

Chen Feng immediately sensed the change in the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

The previously sparse Spiritual Qi began to converge towards the suitcase.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng's face lit up with joy.

After nearly ten minutes, the collector also stopped working.

Chen Feng immediately opened the briefcase to check.

A drop of green liquid appeared inside the container of the suitcase.

"Is this the Spiritual Qi liquid?"

This single drop of Spiritual Qi liquid was formed by almost exhausting all the sparse Spiritual Qi within a five-kilometer radius.

Chen Feng immediately went to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber and then put the drop of Spiritual Qi liquid into his mouth.

He began practicing the Qi Induction Art.

At the same time, Chen Feng adjusted the power of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to its maximum.

In an instant, Chen Feng felt the spiritual liquid transform into a vast amount of Spiritual Qi within his body.

As the oxygen content in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber increased, his body rapidly absorbed all of this Spiritual Qi.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Feng opened his eyes.

A smile appeared on his face.

His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Second Layer of Qi Refining. If he received another drop of this Spiritual Qi liquid, he could break through to the next level.

As long as there is enough Spiritual Qi liquid, his cultivation level will definitely improve very quickly in the future.

Chen Feng already had a plan in mind.

That means waiting for Lin Wei to produce a few more of these Spiritual Qi collectors.

He then sent Xingfeng Sect to collect Spiritual Qi throughout the Yue Kingdom.

In this way, one can cultivate with a continuous supply of Spiritual Qi without leaving home.

However, all of this is contingent on the Xingfeng Sect's strength increasing; otherwise, it might bring disaster upon themselves.

Chen Feng then took out the three medicinal herbs he had prepared earlier.

He wanted to see if the Spiritual Qi energy collector could absorb the Spiritual Qi from the herbs.

Place the herbs on the top contact panel of the suitcase.

Almost immediately upon contact, the herbs lost their luster.

Although they haven't withered yet, changes are visible to the naked eye.

"It works, but there's not enough."

Chen Feng glanced at the collected Spiritual Qi; it wasn't much.

According to his estimate, it would take at least twenty herbs that are two hundred years old to condense a single drop of Spiritual Qi liquid.

After the experiment was successful, Chen Feng prepared to return to the modern world.

But then, he suddenly heard shouts coming from the entrance of the abandoned mine.

"Is the sect leader here?"

"Sect Master!"

Chen Feng recognized the voice; it was Liu Qian's voice.

As Chen Feng walked out of the abandoned mine, he immediately saw Liu Qian pacing back and forth at the entrance.

His face was filled with anxiety.

Liu Qian dared not enter the mine, knowing it was Chen Feng's secluded training ground.

No one, regardless of their status, is allowed to enter without Chen Feng's permission.

"What's wrong?" Chen Feng asked as he arrived at the entrance of the mine.

Upon seeing Chen Feng appear, Liu Qian immediately said:

"Sect Master, something terrible has happened! The plan to stop the Ning Kingdom army has failed, and the Ning Kingdom army has already entered Liuyang Town."

Liu Qian quickly recounted the events.

It turns out that Ningguo's 100,000-strong army had already entered Liuyang Town yesterday.

The previous plan to intercept the Ning Kingdom's army also ended in failure, and almost all the ambushing warriors were killed.

This wouldn't have mattered much to Chen Feng originally, since the loss of Liuyang Town was irrelevant to his Hengduan Mountain.

But Liu Qian's next words made Chen Feng's expression change.

"Wang Hu led his men to retreat to Hengduan Mountain, but on the way he discovered that a large army from Ning State was heading towards Hengduan Mountain."

"He's currently leading his inner disciple to intercept this army of 20,000, and they desperately need our reinforcements."

Liu Qian said anxiously, explaining that he had just received the news and immediately came to find Chen Feng.

"How many people are there, and what is their strength?" Chen Feng asked.

"There are at least 20,000 people, half of whom are acquired martial artists, and there are also four Transformation Realm in the Postnatal Realm among them." Liu Qian's face turned ashen.

Four Grandmasters at the Transformation Realm —this lineup terrified him.

Chen Feng fell into deep thought; this crisis was quite significant.

Even if he breaks through to the Third Layer of Qi Refining now, increasing his combat power...

It's also impossible for one person to take on 20,000 people.

Because once his Spiritual Qi is exhausted, he will also perish.

"Sect Master, Wang Hu and the others are probably already holding off that 20,000-strong army. They won't be able to hold out for long!" Liu Qian shouted anxiously.

Liu Qian is now very worried about Wang Hu's safety.

After spending this time together, he and Wang Hu developed a good relationship.

"Go and organize the inner sect warriors to go and provide reinforcements. I'll be there shortly."

After saying that, Chen Feng returned to the abandoned mine. He couldn't just go there like that; the risk was too great.

The only option now is to immediately break through to the Third Layer of Qi Refining.

After returning to the secret room, Chen Feng took out all the herbs he had prepared earlier.

He began absorbing spiritual energy using the Spiritual Qi collector.

A moment later, almost all the Spiritual Qi contained in the dozens of herbs was absorbed.

Four drops of Spiritual Qi liquid appeared inside the suitcase.

Chen Feng entered the hyperbaric oxygen chamber and began to cultivate by consuming Spiritual Qi liquid.

In the modern world, Chen Feng returned to this place.

He came back this time intending to call Liu Mu and tell him that he couldn't go to the military region right now.

Although all the inner disciples of the Xingfeng Sect carry firearms.

However, it is impossible to fight against an army of 20,000 and four Transformation Realm with firearms alone.

The soldiers of Ningguo are all trained, and most of them are martial artists, which is something the Jiang Household could not compare to back then.

If he doesn't go, Wang Hu and the others will probably all die there.

The call was quickly connected, and Liu Mu's voice came through the phone.

"Little Chen, have you gotten on the bus?"

"Boss, I have something to do right now and can't go. I'll go another time."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mu asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"I just had something come up, sorry boss," Chen Feng said helplessly.

Liu Mu then said:

"The location for this visit is near your Mountain City, where a military exercise is taking place. We originally wanted you to come and see the performance of our new tank, but since you're busy, that's fine."

Upon hearing about the military exercise, Chen Feng's expression changed, and he immediately said:

"Wait, boss, I'm free now, I can go right away!"

Military exercises!

These four large characters gave Chen Feng an idea for resolving the current crisis at the Xingfeng Sect.

It's a bit risky, but it's worth a try.

Liu Mu's voice came at this moment:

"You little rascal, why do you always talk in circles? Let me tell you, you can't just leave the training ground once you're there."
