Chapter 15: Chapter 14: Returning to the Cultivation Realm

This is a sharp long blade.

It’s about four feet long, and an inch and a half wide.

The craftsmanship of the blade can only be described as crude, but the blade itself is sturdy.

Wang Xinyu held the long blade and said:

“This long blade may look ordinary, but its sturdiness meets the Second Tier Exotic Metal standard, capable of easily slicing through a Grand Martial Master’s flesh body.”

“Furthermore, this is a type of metal never before discovered on Blue Star…”

Lin Chen took the long blade, thought for a moment, and said:

“In the Cultivation Realm, this long blade isn’t considered precious, it’s just snatched from a Tribulation Cultivator.”

“In the Changchun Sect where I’ve joined, there are specialized Artifact Refiners, and if they take action, they could probably refine a Magical Artifact far more powerful than this.”

Wang Xinyu’s eyes brightened upon hearing his words, somewhat excited.

Exotic metals are very precious on Blue Star!

They are unique metals that only exist within the Martial Realm, valuable and extremely rare.

Just the amount of First Tier Exotic Metal needed to refine a dagger costs over a million Great Xia currency.

And the price of Second Tier Exotic Metal is ten times that of the First Tier!

It is very difficult for Martial Artists to kill Demon Beasts using just their own strength in a short time.

Furthermore, an ordinary Martial Artist’s flesh body struggles to withstand the attacks of Demon Beasts of the same level multiple times.

Therefore, powerful exotic metal weapons and battle armors are urgently needed by the Great Xia Country.

So Wang Xinyu said:

“In addition to Spirit Rice, if you can find a large amount of such exotic metal in the Cultivation World, you’ll have made a great contribution!”

“Of course, the premise is that you ensure your own safety.”

Lin Chen nodded and said, “I’ll keep an eye out.”

According to his guess, there should be quite a few of these exotic metals on Artifact Peak in the Changchun Sect.

As a fellow disciple of Changchun Sect, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to spend some Spirit Stones to buy materials for refining inferior magical artifacts.

At this moment, Li Nian brought over a giant iron box, as tall as a person.

When the iron box was placed on the ground, its weight made Lin Chen feel as if the laboratory trembled.

Seeing the look of astonishment on Lin Chen’s face, Wang Xinyu patted the iron box and said:

“Half of the one billion funding was spent on this, don’t you want to take a look?”

Hearing this, Lin Chen’s curiosity increased, and he opened the box.

Inside the iron box was a piece of pitch-black exotic metal battle armor!

Fully equipped from boots to helmet.

The smooth armor curves and the cold touch entranced the young man with just one glance.

“This design… it’s the Celestial Demon No. 17 Battle Armor!”

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.

He’s only seen this battle armor in the news, the technological product of the Martial Arts Research Institute over the past two years!

It’s said that only strong individuals at the level of Martial Generals are eligible to wear it, and once equipped.

A Martial General can even hold their own against a Martial Spirit for a short time.

Its durability is such that even a Grand Martial Master can hardly destroy it.

However, Wang Xinyu shook her head and said:

“It’s not the Celestial Demon No. 17 Battle Armor, that armor is too heavy, and with your current strength you can’t wear it…”

“This battle armor was specially made for you by the Martial Arts Research Institute, constructed from special alloys and exotic metals.”

“Internally, it has artificial intelligence that can assist in battle, and it weighs only two hundred kilograms. Wearing this armor should give you the strength to contend with a Martial Master for a short time…”

At this moment, Lin Chen’s mind was entirely focused on the battle armor, and he eagerly asked:

“Can I try on this battle armor?”

Wang Xinyu nodded, “Of course you can.”

Lin Chen couldn’t wait to try it on…

Wearing the heavy Celestial Demon Battle Armor, he ran back and forth in the laboratory.

Even though the weight of the battle armor decreased Lin Chen’s speed considerably,

the formidable defense it provided, along with the equipment weapons on the armor, undoubtedly boosted his combat capabilities tremendously.

After a while, Lin Chen reluctantly took off the battle armor.

“This armor is really cool… unfortunately, I temporarily have nowhere to store it.”

“If this armor suddenly appears in my room, there’s no way to explain it…”

Lin Chen said to Wang Xinyu.

Wang Xinyu frowned slightly, “This wasn’t mentioned before, but maybe once you have a Storage Magical Artifact, it’ll come in handy?”

After putting the armor back in its place, Lin Chen nodded slightly and said:

“That’s currently the situation, but right now I need some weapons with strong concealability…”

“Do you have any small-sized lethal weapons here?”

In Lin Chen’s mind, he should not encounter too much danger within the Changchun Sect for the time being.

He needs life-saving weapons, but not many. The most important factor is that they should be small, portable, and easy to hide.

At this moment, Wang Xinyu brought out another weapon box, and the weapons inside made Lin Chen very satisfied.

The w-3 type high-explosive grenade, can generate a temperature of over ten thousand degrees at the moment of explosion.

Additionally, it contains precious exotic metals, and the fragments can cause extensive damage.

Just one grenade is worth a million Great Xia currency, and it’s a high-risk weapon that can kill a Grand Martial Master at close range!

Apart from that, there are over ten button-sized nanobombs.

These bombs are small in size but have considerable power, capable of killing a Martial Master with no problem.

The remaining is the previously mentioned 17mm caliber new kinetic energy gun, equipped with three magazines, nearly fifty bullets.

After understanding how to use these weapons, Lin Chen stored them in the pockets of his combat suit.

Subsequently, Wang Xinyu handed him a nanoshield.

“The y-3 type nanoshield you used before was a previous generation product, the new generation y-4 nanoshield is even more durable…”

Lin Chen took the shield and placed it beside him as well.

In the subsequent few hours, he familiarized himself with the use of the weapons on him and assisted in answering some questions from the researchers.

Until it was nearly dawn, Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his left arm.

minutes and 36 seconds.

In less than half an hour, he would travel to the Cultivation World.

Lin Chen silently recited his goals for going to the Cultivation Realm once again.

In the next seven days, he needs to obtain the seeds of Spirit Rice and exotic metals.

As long as he brings back these two items, he will truly attract the attention of the Great Xia Country!

After all, the country is currently just making initial contact and trials.

As the value of the items he brings back increases, he will gain more resources and support.

Finally, the entire Great Xia Country and even the High Martial World…

will become his strong backing!

“Besides bringing back the items, I also cannot neglect my own cultivation…”

“I need to quickly achieve Qi Introduction to body and enter the Qi Refining Stage… as well as advance towards becoming a Middle-Level Martial Artist!”

Lin Chen silently set his goals.

With just a few minutes left before crossing over, Lin Chen felt that the researchers around him were even more nervous than himself.

Lin Chen gripped the wooden table and chair again, ensuring that he could maintain the initial posture once he returned.

Next to him, Wang Xinyu and Li Nian, along with two other staff members, were all tightly holding onto Lin Chen’s body.

Lin Chen held Wang Xinyu’s white and tender hand, faintly feeling the presence of sweat, which was likely due to nervousness.

Sweat dampened Wang Xinyu’s beautiful hair, and Lin Chen noticed that she seemed overly tense, so he joked:

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger. But you probably won’t be able to cross over…”

Wang Xinyu still appeared a bit anxious: “Who knows? Might as well give it a try.”

Lin Chen chuckled and didn’t stop them.

He glanced at the countdown on his arm, and the crossing was about to begin…

“Three, two… one!”

Lin Chen’s vision changed once again.
