Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Chen Feng had personally entered Luoxia Valley and had come into contact with that kind of demonic energy.

Although it felt very strange at the time, Luoxia Valley was far from being so dangerous that even a Divine Transformation cultivator could not get out after entering it.

According to Chen Feng's guess, it is very likely that something unusual has occurred in the Luoxia Valley.

Chen Feng opened his right palm, and a wisp of soul appeared in his palm.

This fragment of soul is exactly Zuo Poxing's fragment of soul.

When he subdued Zuo Poxing, he took in a wisp of his soul. Now that this wisp of soul is still there, it proves that Zuo Poxing is not dead.

"With my current strength, I definitely cannot go to the Luoxia Valley." Chen Feng shook his head.

If he was strong enough, he might be able to go to Luoxia Valley and rescue Zuo Poxing.

But even the Divine Transformation cultivators had lost contact in Luoxia Valley, so if he went in, he would just be asking for his death.

Now we can only hope that Zuo Poxing and others will take good care of themselves.

Moreover, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. The Cultivation Alliance will definitely send people to investigate later.

Chen Feng put his thoughts aside and took out a bunch of cultivation resources from the storage ring.

Among them, the top-grade spirit stones were piled up into a small hill as high as him, and there were also a pile of various bottles and jars of elixirs.

Some of these pills were obtained from the storage rings of other Nascent Soul cultivators, and some were purchased from the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce.

In order to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage this time, Chen Feng prepared nearly three times as many cultivation resources as other cultivators.

If he wasn't afraid of affecting the operation of the wind gate, he would have prepared more.

After Chen Feng swallowed the pill, he began to practice the "Star Body Refining Technique".

The powerful medicinal power dissolved in his body, then flowed into his limbs and bones, and finally gathered at the Nascent Soul in his Dantian.

The light of the Nascent Soul figure in the Dantian immediately became brighter.

After the Nascent Soul absorbed the medicinal power, the star energy in his body was also activated and began to cleanse his meridians and body.

The power of the "Starry Body Refining Art" is that it not only improves cultivation, but also trains the body. The improvement of each realm can greatly enhance the body.

This amplification is achieved by combining star energy and spiritual power.

The only trouble is that once the star energy in the body is exhausted, it is necessary to replenish the star energy before you can continue practicing.

Spring goes and winter comes, time passes like water, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past five years, Chen Feng has rarely appeared in Xingfengmen.

Apart from occasionally transporting supplies back and forth between the two worlds, he spent most of his time in seclusion in a secret room.

Five years may seem a long time to ordinary people, but to immortal cultivators it is just a blink of an eye.

In the past five years, Xingfengmen has developed extremely rapidly.

The strength of the four major formations has been greatly improved.

The number of people in the Qinglong formation has increased by nearly 50,000 in the past five years. These 50,000 soldiers wearing power armor are comparable to foundation-building monks.

After the number reached 50,000, Liu Qian asked the factory to gradually reduce the production of power armor.

After all, the more power armors there are, the more fusion cells are needed, which is a huge consumption.

The number of Suzaku fleet's aerospace carriers has also expanded in the past five years.

If the number of motherships of each major division is added together, a super fleet consisting of 5,000 motherships can be formed.

At this moment, the Xingfengmen’s aerospace motherships can be seen everywhere in the open sea.

In addition to its own use, Xingfengmen also produced many ordinary aerospace motherships and sold them to various places in the inner and outer seas.

The change in the Xuanwu formation is the expansion of the area.

Today, there are newly established military bases of the Xuanwu Formation on the edge of the open sea and in various regions.

These military bases are equipped with a variety of missile silos and a large number of heavy weapons.

If a powerful enemy attacks, the Xuanwu formation can lock onto the enemy in the first time and launch an attack.

It is worth mentioning that Kongyou City has been taken over by the Xuanwu formation, and it has officially become the new line of defense of Xingfengmen.

Among the four major formations, the White Tiger Formation has undergone the most changes.

This newly established formation five years ago has developed at an extremely terrifying speed.

The production speed of the new generation of robots was very slow in the first year, with only less than 10,000 units produced per year.

But by the second year, the number of immortal cultivation robots had tripled.

By the fifth year, the number of Xiuxian robots had exceeded 200,000!

There are a total of 200,000 robots with the strength of mid-stage weapon refining. Even some large sects in the Inner Sea do not have this many Qi-cultivating monks.

The reason why there are such a large number is that the immortal cultivation robots can be mass-produced as long as there are basic magical instruments and materials.

It can be said that as long as there are enough resources, immortality robots can be produced without limit.

In the fifth year, Liu Qian also ordered to reduce the production capacity of cultivation robots.

If production continues without restraint here, even Xingfengmen will not be able to sustain it with its financial resources.

Although Xingfengmen sells a large number of weapons and products to Inland Sea every year, it takes time to consume these products.

Liu Qian has also discovered that the current expenditure of Xingfengmen is greater than its current income.

If many aerospace carriers had not been sold in recent years, the financial situation would be much worse.

At this moment, in the cabinet of Xingfengmen headquarters.

Liu Qian, Mo Chen and other senior executives who are in charge of affairs gathered here.

"Brother Liu, the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce's orders for our ordinary weapons have dropped by ten percent compared to last month."

Mo Chen explained the situation.

Mo Chen at this moment has not changed much compared to a few years ago. Although he is not an immortal cultivator, he is also a martial artist in the transformation realm. With various elixirs from the Xingfeng Sect, living for one hundred and fifty years is not a problem.

Another deacon in charge of overseas trade also spoke up:
"Manager, it's the same in the outer seas. Basically, the major forces in the outer seas don't have much demand for our ordinary weapons now."

Compared with the inland sea, the situation in the open sea is more serious.

There are only so many immortal cultivation forces in the outer sea, and the number of immortal cultivators is maintained at a fixed number.

After all, immortal cultivators are not like mortals who can increase their numbers as long as they can reproduce.

If you want to find someone who has the qualifications to cultivate immortality, you have to pick one out of a million.

As a result, the demand for Xingfengmen weapons among low-level cultivators in the outer sea decreased.

Liu Qian smiled and said:

"I understand all your questions. The Sect Master had anticipated this a long time ago. I have asked the factories to reduce their weapons production capacity. Now 30% of the factories have started to specialize in the production of bullets."

Bullets are consumables, and the demand for bullets is increasing every year both in the open sea and in the inland sea.

You can buy a weapon and use it for a long time, but the bullets cannot.

Liu Qian has planned to convert most of the factories producing ordinary weapons to produce bullets.

Liu Qian continued:
"As for Inner Sea, I have already contacted Manager Qu. She didn't mean that there is no demand for our weapons, but that it will take time to consume them. After all, buying and selling requires a certain process."

The others also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Mo Chen said, "Brother Liu, it seems that if we want to maintain our profits, we can only sell new products. Do you want to sell some heavy weapons as well?" Currently, the Xingfeng Sect sells some simple firearms to other immortal cultivation forces.

Some more powerful artillery pieces are not on the sale list.

Another deacon sitting next to Mo Chen also spoke:
"That's right. Only by using new products can we gain more profits. I remember that the southern part of the Inland Sea is already within the coverage of satellites. We can try to sell satellite phones to the major forces in the Inland Sea."

As soon as this suggestion was made, many people nodded in agreement.

Satellite phones are very valuable and the cost is very low.

Liu Qian thought for a moment and then said, "I will consider this suggestion, but the most important thing right now is another matter. I am going to stop recruiting warriors to the sect. What do you think?"

Mo Chen didn't seem surprised. He nodded and said, "It should have been done a long time ago. We don't need many warriors. We already have enough manpower. As for combat power, immortal robots are enough to replace them. If we want to recruit now, we should recruit some immortal cultivators and elite talents."

Now the total number of members of Xingfengmen in all its branches is nearly 80,000.

The annual expenses for so many people are also very high.

In the past, so many people were needed because we had to deal with various wars and have these people do things.

But Xingfengmen has now stopped expanding, and its major branches overseas do not need so many people.

"What about the Black Sea?" someone asked again.

The situation in the Black Sea branch is different from that in other branches. It is dominated by monsters, and the monsters have strong reproductive capacity.

The number of monsters in the Black Sea branch is increasing every year.

However, the monsters in the Black Sea are not like humans who can join other forces. The only way for the monsters in the Black Sea is to join the Black Sea branch.

Liu Qian said without thinking: "The Black Sea branch remains unchanged, the situation there is special."

Liu Qian knew that he couldn't ask Beaver to reduce the number of monsters in the Black Sea branch.

Over the years, Beaver himself has realized that there are too many monsters in the Black Sea branch, and the contribution made to the sect is far from enough.

Therefore, in recent years, beavers have often taken the Black Sea monsters to various places in the open sea to look for resources.

If there had not been a demonic disaster in the southern region near the open sea, Beaver would probably have taken her monsters to the inland sea to obtain resources.

After hearing this, everyone didn't say anything more and immediately started discussing other things.

Liu Qian would hold this kind of cabinet meeting basically every once in a while.

Since there was no war, those who attended the meeting were those in charge of internal affairs.

The meeting lasted for two hours and then ended.

"Okay, that's all for today. The measures decided at this meeting must be implemented immediately." Liu Qian picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, signaling everyone to leave.

At this time, a steward asked in a low voice: "Steward, the sect master has been in seclusion for five years. I wonder when he will come out?"

The others who were preparing to leave also looked at Liu Qian.

If we were to say who in Xingfengmen knows Chen Feng’s condition best, it would be Liu Qian.

Liu Qian said with an unchanged expression:

"It is normal for the Sect Master to be in seclusion for decades with his cultivation level. Don't worry, I have been in contact with the Sect Master all these years."

Although Chen Feng had been in seclusion for the past five years, he would hand over a batch of modern supplies to Liu Qian every once in a while.

So Liu Qian has met Chen Feng several times in the past five years.

However, just as Liu Qian finished speaking.

A tremendous force suddenly pressed down from the sky.

This force did not cause any harm to anyone, but just made them feel pressured.

Everyone in the cabinet changed their expressions, especially some immortal cultivators, whose senses were even sharper than mortals like Liu Qian.

Everyone walked out of the cabinet hall and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, spiritual energy was seen gathering towards the Hengduan Mountains like a sea.

When these spiritual energies gathered somewhere in the Hengduan Mountains, they had almost materialized.

The entire sky was shrouded in an ocean of spiritual energy.

"This is a sea of ​​spiritual energy!" exclaimed a foundation-building cultivator.

Mo Chen looked at the immortal cultivator and asked, "What is the spiritual energy gathering sea?"

The immortal cultivator said quickly:
"I've read in classics that when some cultivators of a higher realm break through, they will experience various strange phenomena in the heaven and earth. This gathering of spiritual energy is one of them. This is a phenomenon that will only occur when a cultivator is at the critical period of breaking through and needs a huge amount of spiritual energy."

Everyone couldn't help but show joy upon hearing this, because the place where the spiritual energy gathered was exactly where their leader was in seclusion.

This is their sect leader breaking through the realm!

Liu Qian immediately said:

"Notify everyone to immediately activate the formation inside the sect, and at the same time put the sect on alert. No one is allowed to approach the place where the sect master is in seclusion."

Liu Qian issued a series of orders.

Although he was a mortal, he knew very well that cultivators could not be disturbed during the critical period of breakthrough.

This is also why some high-level cultivators would choose to make breakthroughs in their own sects when they are about to reach a new realm.

Because the sect can provide corresponding protection.

Following Liu Qian's series of orders.

A purple light curtain lit up in the entire Xingfengmen headquarters, covering the entire Xingfengmen.

This is a top-notch formation, and is the current protective formation of the Xingfeng Sect.

Liu Qian had purchased it from the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce at a huge cost the year before last. It could withstand the attack of even a Nascent Soul expert.

The strange phenomenon in the sky and earth above Chen Feng's secret room naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators in Hengduan Mountain.

But because Liu Qian gave the order, these cultivators did not dare to go to the Xingfeng Sect headquarters to check, but instead sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice.

The gathering of so much spiritual energy is also an opportunity for other cultivators.

They certainly wouldn't miss it.

At the door of Chen Feng’s secret room, Liu Qian and Mo Chen had already arrived.

Others can't get close, but they have to come and see
But just as they arrived at the door of the secret room, a dark shadow appeared in front of them.

The black shadow was none other than the cunning monster whose size had been shrunk several times.

"Senior Zhejiao, why are you here?" Liu Qian was a little surprised.

Zhe glared at Liu Qian:
“I was here a few years ago.”

Zhe Jiao had arrived at the door of Chen Feng's secret room two years ago.

Chen Feng might not trust other people.

But Zeng Jiao, who had a contract with him, could be trusted, so Chen Feng naturally pulled Zeng Jiao over to protect him.

Whenever a cultivator breaks through, he needs someone to protect him.

The previous breakthroughs in small realms had caused very little noise.

But it is different in the late Nascent Soul stage. It takes several days to break through the late Nascent Soul stage. (End of this chapter)
