Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 836: Chapter 837: The Formidable Rival of Xingchen Group

Lin Chen returned home and took out the raincoat.

At first glance, the raincoat seemed ordinary, but Lin Chen found something that was emitting a strong Spiritual Energy within its hidden compartment.

This compartment was very concealed, and considering the raincoat had weathered countless years, its surface was highly decomposed, making it difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Lin Chen carefully peeled away the rotted exterior of the raincoat, revealing an inner layer of animal hide.

Gently pinching the hide, it felt extremely tough, no doubt hiding something extraordinary.

Lin Chen took out scissors and cut open the hide, indeed discovering a piece of golden soft armor inside.

To his amazement, it was golden silk soft armor, and Lin Chen was instantly captivated by the treasure that appeared.

”Host, congratulations on acquiring a superior-grade Spiritual Artifact,” the Popularity System reminded.

”Superior-grade Spiritual Artifact? What is that?” Lin Chen asked.

The Popularity System explained: ”Spiritual Artifacts are graded into lower, middle, and upper categories. The lowest is lower-grade, and the highest is upper-grade. A piece like this upper-grade Spiritual Artifact would be considered a sect’s treasure in every clan. It’s unbelievable that you managed to buy it for only twenty thousand yuan.”

After hearing the words of the Popularity System, Lin Chen felt that his luck was off the charts.

With this item, he could easily withstand regular Spiritual Energy attacks.

Lin Chen put on the golden silk soft armor to feel it out. As soon as the armor was worn, the Spiritual Energy from his body poured into it.

This effect was somewhat similar to Iron Fist, who Lin Chen had killed today; the only difference being that Iron Fist had to constantly support himself with Spiritual Energy, whereas the golden silk soft armor differed in that a single infusion of Spiritual Energy made it impervious to blade and spear.

”This is truly a magnificent item,” Lin Chen admired, unable to take his hands off the golden silk soft armor.

This golden silk soft armor was a priceless treasure. If those reclusive sects knew of it, they would definitely fight frantically to obtain it. Not to mention twenty thousand, even two billion yuan wouldn’t be enough to buy it.

As Lin Chen was playing with the golden silk soft armor, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Xue Ying calling, and Lin Chen hurriedly answered the phone: ”Ying, are you missing me again?”

”Who’s missing you? I’m calling because I have something to discuss with you,” Xue Ying said.

”What’s so urgent?” Lin Chen asked curiously.

”It can’t be clearly explained over the phone. You’ll understand once you get here,” Xue Ying replied.

Lin Chen hung up and his heart immediately surged with excitement, wondering if perhaps Ying was feeling lonely and longing for his company to alleviate her yearning.

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he drove to Starlight Group in high spirits.

Entering the CEO’s office, Lin Chen found to his surprise that Xue Ying was actually asleep on the office desk.

Looking at the mature and enchanting beauty before him, Lin Chen felt warmth in his heart.

Over the years, Xue Ying had always stood silently behind him, transforming Starlight Group from a small workshop into one of the top 500 strong enterprises in China.

Now Starlight Group was involved in cosmetics, catering, real estate, pharmaceuticals, and various other fields, all thanks to Xue Ying’s efforts.

In contrast, as the chairman, he had always been a hands-off shopkeeper.

Xue Ying seemed to know that Lin Chen had arrived, whispering: ”Lin Chen, give me a shoulder massage.”

Lin Chen nodded, walked in front of Xue Ying, and said, ”How can I massage you when you’re lying face down? Lie on the couch, I’ll give you a full-body massage to guarantee all your fatigue will vanish.”

Xue Ying nodded, stood up, and lay down on the couch.

She had great confidence in Lin Chen’s massage skills.

Lin Chen’s hands rested on Xue Ying’s shoulders, and the smooth feeling immediately made his mind wander.

A faint Spiritual Energy entered Xue Ying’s body with Lin Chen’s massage.

Instantly, Xue Ying felt a wave of relaxation sweep over her, even a feeling of being light as air.

The fatigue on her body vanished without a trace in an instant, and due to the overwhelming comfort, Xue Ying even let out a low moan.

Lin Chen was hit by a wave of faint fragrance, his blood boiling, his hands becoming a bit restless.

Xue Ying’s cheeks flushed, and with a flick of her hand, she swatted Lin Chen’s wandering hand away: ”You rogue, always taking liberties with me, stop messing around. There’s something serious I want to talk to you about.”

Lin Chen retracted his hand helplessly, smilingly asked Xue Ying: ”What’s so serious?”

Xue Ying sighed helplessly: ”This time our Xingchen Group is entering into Zhonghai, mainly targeting the pharmaceutical industry. Initially, everything went smoothly, and we had a great collaboration with the Mu Corporation, but lately, we’ve run into some difficulties.”

”What difficulties?” Lin Chen inquired.

Xue Ying sighed, ”Do you know what the most profitable thing in Huaxia is? It’s Spiritual Medicine. Our Xingchen Group rapid growth is all thanks to the several formulas you left me.”

”Now that martial arts are prevalent in Huaxia, the demand for Spiritual Medicine by the major families is very high, and that’s why we focused our efforts on Zhonghai markets,” Xue Ying continued.

Lin Chen nodded: ”My relationship with the Mu family is fairly good, they shouldn’t cause trouble for you.”

Xue Ying shook her head: ”Of course, they won’t, and they’ve been taking very good care of us. Our initial phase was very smooth, but recently a competitor has emerged.”

”A competitor? Is it someone from the Medicine Sect?” Lin Chen questioned with doubt.

Because in martial arts, the only one capable of threatening Xingchen Group’s strength, aside from the Medicine Sect, is nobody else.

Xue Ying nodded: ”Exactly, the Medicine Sect. It’d be fine if they competed fairly with us, but they actually cut off our raw material supply. All families cultivating Spiritual Medicine were informed not to cooperate with Xingchen Group.”

”There’s such a thing!” Lin Chen frowned.

Xue Ying continued: ”In Zhonghai, we have already invested a lot of manpower and resources, and if we just give up now, our losses would be huge.”

Lin Chen smiled lightly: ”It’s just raw materials, right? Leave it to me. By the way, what are the best-selling Spiritual Medicines on the market now?”

Xue Ying replied: ”Of course, it’s the Qi Gathering Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill. These two Spiritual Medicines have always been Xingchen Group’s leading products, but now we’ve lost our raw material sources, and the market is gradually being encroached upon by the Medicine Sect.”

”The Medicine Sect has always been a hidden sect, rarely seen by the public, why are these guys making such a high-profile move now.” Lin Chen was somewhat puzzled.

Xue Ying sighed, the Medicine Sect recently founded a Wan Medicine Corporation, and it’s said that the CEO is Yue Qun, an inner sect elder of the Medicine Sect.

”Yue Qun? That old geezer again, looks like they won’t stop without a lesson,” Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Lin Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold light: ”Don’t worry, Yingjie, just get me the seeds of these raw materials. In three days, I’ll provide the raw materials, and we’re going to upgrade our products. For Yue Qun to dare bully my woman and compete with me for the market, he’s truly courting death.”
