Chapter 69: Chapter 68: New Equipment, Celestial Demon Battle Armor!

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Elder Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good, it’s enough that it meets the alchemy standards!”

“Next, we will send more manpower to expand the planting area as much as possible.”

Lin Chen also smiled upon hearing this and said softly:

“I suppose it won’t be long before the Qi Blood Pill and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill are available in the market…”

Thanks to the efforts of the Great Xia Research Team, they have mastered the formation method for the Spirit Gathering Array and several other arrays in just a few months.

Half of those eight Spirit Gathering Arrays were independently set up by the research team.

Coupled with the tens of thousands of Spirit Companion Grass planted within the range of the Spirit Gathering Array.

Combined, the spiritual energy within this sixty acres of land has become quite substantial.

It is no exaggeration to say that with enough manpower, producing ten thousand spiritual medicines per month from just twenty acres of medicine fields is not a problem.

Calculating at a sixty percent pill formation success rate, about thirty thousand Qi Blood Pills can be produced per month.

This productivity is likely more than the Changchun Sect can produce in a year…

“But, Elder Jiang… the scope of the spiritual fields still needs further expansion!”

“Later on, I’ll bring back some materials for the Spirit Gathering Array, and it would be best if we set up a few medium-sized Spirit Gathering Arrays to cover the entire three thousand acres of the back mountain.”

Lin Chen proposed his idea.

Although the production of pills has made a leap, it’s far from the research team’s limit, and it is still a long way from nationwide promotion.

Elder Jiang stroked his beard and laughed:

“Haha, you’re reminding me now? Don’t worry, we’ve already considered these things!”

“I plan to cover the entire back mountain with the Spirit Gathering Array within a year, planting spiritual rice on one half and various spiritual medicines on the other half.”

After a pause, Elder Jiang continued:

“However, doing so will definitely mean that the spiritual energy generated by the Spirit Companion Grass will be insufficient, and the consumption of spirit stones might greatly increase…”

Lin Chen furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

Indeed, spiritual energy is still a big problem.

Over the past few months, the Spirit Companion Grass has grown wildly, but it has barely managed to supply spiritual rice and medicine for sixty acres of land.

Not to mention the cultivation of over a thousand cultivators?

It would at least take one to two years for the Spirit Companion Grass to spread all over the mountains.

During this period, the gap in spirit stones must still be dealt with by Lin Chen.

“I’ll try my best, Elder Jiang! Now that my Qi Refining Cultivation has reached the Qi Refining Peak… I’m also planning to travel away from Changchun Sect for a while.”

“When the time comes, I’ll travel to more places, sell pills and equipment, and I’m sure a large sum of spirit stones will come in.”

Elder Jiang reminded him not to forget:

“When you’re out, remember to prioritize your own safety.”

Lin Chen nodded; he knew this well.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until reaching Qi Refining Peak to prepare for his first departure from Changchun Sect.

Besides, with his current martial arts realm and firepower equipment… traveling near Changchun Sect should be safe.

Soon, Lin Chen received a transmission from Wang Lishan, asking him to return to the Martial Arts Palace for some discussions.

…

Military Region, Martial Arts Palace.

“Uncle Wang, what’s the urgent matter that you called me here for?” Lin Chen asked with some confusion.

Wang Lishan listened and smiled mysteriously, taking out a huge iron box from his nanobag.

It was about three meters tall and nearly one meter wide.

Lin Chen opened the iron box with curiosity.

The jet-black metal shell glistened under the lamp light, its smooth components lined with curves that embodied violent aesthetics.

This is—

“The real Celestial Demon Battle Armor!”

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.

“Uncle Wang, isn’t this battle armor only usable by high-level Grand Martial Masters? How come it’s been made already!”

Wang Lishan listened and smiled slightly, explaining:

“Didn’t you say a month ago that you were going to leave Changchun Sect? So I quickly gathered a research team, and after the efforts of dozens of people, this battle armor was tailor-made for you.”

“This Celestial Demon Battle Armor is different from the usual; it’s crafted from exotic metals of Fourth Tier and leaves room for modifications, enough for you to use it once you reach Martial Spirit.”

Lin Chen’s heart raced after hearing this.

The original version of the Celestial Demon Battle Armor had long been unable to keep up with his strength.

But this battle armor crafted from Fourth Tier exotic metals is perfect for him.

“Uncle Wang, I want to try it on!”

“This place is too small for a proper demonstration, why don’t you try it in the exercise field?” Wang Lishan advised.

Lin Chen nodded repeatedly and soon entered inside the battle armor.

Crafted from Fourth Tier exotic metals, the armor is so sturdy that even Martial Spirit powerhouses would have difficulty destroying it.

The armor also weighs over ten thousand pounds, making it extremely heavy that ordinary Martial Masters can barely move it.

However, the armor’s built-in power system makes it quite effortless.

Unlike the initial version, wearing this set of Celestial Demon Battle Armor, Lin Chen’s mobility and agility are hardly diminished.

Besides, the armor is equipped with a well-stocked arsenal.

An e-7 level light machine gun can pour out two thousand bullets in a minute.

The power of each bullet is enough to severely injure Martial Master-level powerhouses.

In addition, there are y-3 type grenades, w-7 type nanoshields…

Fully armed, this battle armor becomes nearly a killing machine on the battlefield.

The part that satisfies Lin Chen the most is the arsenal in the chest of the Celestial Demon Battle Armor.

Carrying a nanobag that can hold tens of thousands of bullets and hundreds of grenades for reserve use.

And, the most powerful weapon on the Celestial Demon Battle Armor—the nanomissile.

The power of the nanomissile can flatten a hill.

After wearing the Celestial Demon Battle Armor, Lin Chen couldn’t help but have a thought.

“With this armor, can I fight against Core Formation powerhouses?”

Lin Chen slightly shook his head; he had not seen a Core Formation-stage powerhouse’s strength.

But without a doubt, with this armor alone, he is invincible below Core Formation in the cultivation realm.

Extremely strong individual close combat abilities and long-range firepower coverage.

This armor hardly has any significant shortcomings.

After trying the control of the new version of the Celestial Demon Battle Armor for a bit, Lin Chen reluctantly took it off.

Then put it into the nanobag he carried with him.

Stuffing in over ten thousand pounds of weight, Lin Chen instantly felt a little heavy.

“After reaching Grand Martial Master, this battle armor’s power can be fully unleashed.”

Lin Chen thought to himself.

After storing the battle armor, Lin Chen returned to the Martial Arts Palace, only to see Wang Lishan with a distressed face having just hung up the phone.

“Uncle Wang, what happened?” Lin Chen felt something was amiss.

Wang Lishan’s face was grave as he said:

“Just received news that one of our Martial Realm strongholds in the front was attacked jointly by demon kings, suffering heavy casualties. A Martial King was severely injured and barely escaped…”

Lin Chen’s heart sank upon hearing this; the joint attack of demon kings on the stronghold likely resulted in casualties of no less than ten thousand.

However, the bad news was yet to come.

“The most critical point is that the stronghold was one of our important exotic metal mining areas, with almost thirty percent of the country’s exotic metals produced there!”

“Now with the stronghold lost, the front-line weapon supplies are likely to be strained.”

Saying this, Wang Lishan looked up at Lin Chen with hopeful eyes.

“We urgently need a batch of exotic metals to replenish, Chen… how much can you provide from your side?”

Cold Iron Stone, being such a strategic material, naturally can’t be taken lightly.

Several months ago, Wang Lishan had already informed him about purchasing in batches.

This way, firstly, Lin Chen can quickly provide a batch of exotic metals when needed; secondly, purchasing in batches would not attract too much attention.

Lin Chen kept this matter in mind.

“I still have about eight tons of Cold Iron Stone…”

“That much?!” Wang Lishan was a bit surprised.
