Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 801: Chapter 316: Blood Jade Fox and Teasing, Boiling Xia City, Migration Begins (Part 4)

The value of an Intermediate Cold Beast is generally between 4000 to 5000, so one-tenth is about over 400 points, approximately thirty would be equivalent to one Advanced Cold Beast.

Even so, for Li Tiancheng, it’s enough to exchange for a Yangyuan Pill.

However, Xia Hong’s response clearly did not meet Li Xuanling’s expectations.

She raised this issue clearly to vie for resource privileges for Li Tiancheng, but Xia Hong directly refused, making her little face immediately tense.

Seeing Xia Hong walking directly into the camp as if not intending to pay her any further attention, she angrily asked, ”What about me? What about my cultivation resources? The Camp Supply Department has registered contribution values for everyone above Logging Realm in the camp in the past four days, but no one came to find me. Don’t tell me you’re afraid I’ll cultivate too quickly and surpass you?”

”Heh...”

Xia Hong didn’t stop but instead let out a contemptuous laugh and tossed a small porcelain bottle toward Li Xuanling, speaking softly, ”Since you’re with me, your living and cultivation expenses will naturally be my responsibility. From now on, I’ll give you ten Yangyuan Pills each month. If you find it’s not enough, or want to help your uncle secure cultivation resources, then go hunt Advanced Cold Beasts yourself!”

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanling’s face instantly blushed. She then opened the porcelain bottle to find at least a hundred Yangyuan Pills inside and looked up at Xia Hong’s retreating figure, her eyes filled with complexity and inner conflict.

What she didn’t notice was that Xia Hong, walking toward the main building, slightly grimaced, a hint of heartache flashing across his face.

”Li Xuantiang and his six men dropped 215 drops, the eight new outposts collectively captured 139 drops, took 21 drops from Li Xuanling’s boudoir, and tonight’s yield accounts for 85 drops. Currently, the total stock of Cold Apple Jade Dew is 460 drops. As long as we collect a dozen other herbs, we can refine over 4000 pills. Giving this girl ten a month should be sustainable, right?”

......

The Second Year of Great Xia, the first day of August

Compared to the Long Mountain, which was just beginning to flourish, Xia City was much livelier.

To simply say lively isn’t enough. Ever since the night of July 8th, the whole Xia City has been in an uproar.

The reason is simple: Liu Yuan had returned the night of the eighth.

The triumphant victories at Beehive and Long Mountain, the unification of Longyou, and increasingly explosive news spread from Liu Yuan, causing the entire Xia City to boil.

Not only ordinary people, but even those in the Logging Realm and Earth-digging Realm, and the eighteen just returned and healing from Beehive, upon hearing the great victory at Long Mountain and unification of Longyou, couldn’t help but grin every day.

In front of the main building square in the Great Xia Inner City, wrapped entirely in bandages, Yuan Cheng was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, watching a large group of young boys, averaging just over ten years old, practicing punches.

”Hey, you smelly brats, punching so weakly and feebly, all that beast meat you eat is wasted. No wonder you’re this old yet haven’t broken through to the Earth-digging Realm. Wait till we drag you to the wilderness to spar with Cold Beasts, then you won’t dare keep lounging around the city.”

”The Martial Arts Academy currently holds the youngest Earth-digging Realm breakthrough record at ten years and three months, and it’s soon to be lowered to under ten years. If you guys are any slower, you might not even be able to beat little kids in the future.”

”Don’t not believe it either, when I followed the leader out of the Mud Slope back in the day, I was about your age. Tsk tsk, back then our Great Xia was weak, couldn’t even find a good knife, I used a stone axe to fight alongside the leader and minister against a Snow Mane in the wilderness all night, nearly lost my life...”

......

Yuan Cheng chattered on endlessly, completely unaware that many in the back of the punching line were already covering their mouths, laughing and gossiping about him.

”Lord Yuan has been coming to watch us punch every day lately.”

”No, it’s more like he comes to brag to us every day.”

”Isn’t he quite idle?”

”Not idle, he’s recuperating. I heard a total of nineteen lords received serious injuries at Beehive, including the minister, and Lord Yuan’s was the most severe, so it hasn’t healed even now.”

”I know, three Cold Resistance Level warriors died too. On the fifteenth of last month, many corpses were brought back, and crying could be heard from the house next to mine.”

”I heard more than three thousand people died in total, and on the twentieth of last month, Lord Zhu Yuan followed Xia Li’s mourning regulations to hold a unified funeral for all the fallen soldiers. Not just their families, but all adults in the camp attended.”

”I know that Lord Zhu Yuan’s brother was one of them too. The camp’s compensation wasn’t low; a single Earth-digging Realm soldier received 20,000 contribution points, and his lifetime assets, including military merits, were inherited by the widow and children, or if none, an orphan would be selected as the heir.”

”Many died, but our camp’s gains were great too; the entire Longyou now belongs to our Great Xia. I heard from the lords that it’s thirteen thousand square kilometers; I’m not clear exactly how big that is, do you guys know?”

”I’m not sure either, but they said it’s more than ten times our current territory.”

”More than ten times, oh...”

......

”The leader was impressive; started taking us out to hunt Cold Beasts even before breaking through to the Earth-digging Realm. Back then...”

The chatter from the back of the line didn’t disrupt Yuan Cheng’s boasting; he kept weaving his stories endlessly.

Until a discordant voice abruptly interrupted.

”Alright, alright, what are you going on about? If I remember correctly, you were seventeen when you broke through to the Earth-digging Realm. This bunch in front of you will probably all break through before you. Aren’t you ashamed?”
