Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1197: Chapter 404: All Six Towns Arrive, Hand Over the Culprit, Divine Machine Crossbow, Oath 2

Chen Yimou, along with four middle-aged men, and Chen Yu and Chen Huang, the two young men, immediately became curious and picked up the porcelain bottles to take a look.

As the bottles were opened one by one, the six of them inhaled the different aromas emanating from the Dan medicine, their expressions more and more astonished.

“Beast Essence Pill, Beast Spirit Pill, Blood Spirit Pill, Blood Plasma Pill, Blood Shaping Pill, Yangyuan Pill, Dragon Carp Pill, Green Cod Pill, Black Death Pill, Bone Condensing Pill, Bone Gathering Pill… In total, I’ve bought nineteen kinds of spirit pills from the Treasure Tower, suitable from six-year-old children just forming their Five Viscera Meridian, Logging Realm, Earth-digging Realm, Earth-digging Realm Limit with Reshaping Skin, Cold Resistance Level, Peak of Cold Resistance Level, all the way to Xianyang Level—this complete set of Dan medicine resources, the entire Great Xia comprehensively commands them, and moreover, the quality of these Dan medicines…”

“Can all rival that of our Chen Cang!”

Chen Yimou couldn’t help but speak directly, echoing his thoughts.

Chu Dongning, He Yang, and Zhu Dong, all three holding the Dan medicine, heard this and their brows flickered slightly, but they didn’t say more.

Among the Ice Abyss People, anyone who hasn’t broken through to the Cold Resistance Level has an average lifespan of only forty years, which means anything that can enhance cultivation efficiency is an indispensable precious resource for any camp.

And Dan medicine absolutely counts as one of the most crucial among them.

The corresponding value is that anyone with some cultivation can determine the quality of Dan medicine just by smelling it.

Although Chu Dongning and the other two’s actual cultivation is not as good as Chen Yiqing’s, they have no problem judging the quality of Dan medicine. Based on their personal perception, the quality of the dozens of Dan medicines Chen Yiqing took out should not merely be comparable to that of Chen Cang, but rather higher.

They could see through it, and so could Chen Yimou. He intentionally said this, clearly motivated by a sense of pride as people of Chen Cang, unwilling to admit that Great Xia’s Dan medicine was better than Chen Cang’s.

Of course, Chu Dongning and the other two, including Chen Yiqing, shared this sentiment, so they did not expose Chen Yimou’s words; they just nodded slightly.

“Better than us is just better, dear uncles, why the need to hide it!”

Amid the silence, a female voice suddenly rose in the room.

It was Chu Yan’er, who had been standing by the window.

With a slight twitch of her delicate nose, she sniffed the fragrance of the Dan medicine and immediately judged that these Dan medicines were all of better quality than those from Chen Cang. She directly exposed the little thoughts of the five men.

If the difference between the brothers Chen Huang and Chen Yu with Ji Hong during their meeting two days ago was only that they added a little bit of arrogance between their brows, then the change in Chu Yan’er’s demeanor at this moment was so drastic it seemed as if she were a different person.

She was clearly holding a somewhat coarse face; her beauty was not top-tier, not even superior. Yet her pair of lively, beautiful eyes showed more confidence and composure than those of Chen Huang and Chen Yu when facing the five men.

Seeing that the five did not respond, she smiled and continued, “Our Chen Cang is wealthy with the lands of Five Prefectures and Two Lakes, with millions of citizens, a prideful feudal town, naturally broad-minded, and how could mere spirit pills not be of concern?”

Upon hearing her words, Chen Yiqing and the five middle-aged men, including Chen Yu and Chen Huang, couldn’t help but show a trace of shame on their faces.

Chu Yan’er then lightly raised her hand, pointing at the spirit pills on the table, her eyes showing a hint of arrogance, “Furthermore, the formulas for these Great Xia spirit pills will sooner or later be used by our Chen Cang, so what does it matter if they’re good or bad?”

Her voice was full of confidence, and even her every move exuded a noble temperament from within, which formed a stark contrast with her coarse linen clothes.

“At my age, I’m no longer as insightful as the Little Princess, living fifty-eight years in vain, truly ashamed!”

Chen Yiqing stood up directly from his chair, bowed to Chu Yan’er, and the other six immediately followed suit, bowing to her.

Unlike the five middle-aged men, Chen Yu and Chen Huang, when saluting Chu Yan’er, had undisguised admiration in their eyes.

When the seven saluted her, Chu Yan’er’s face showed no trace of embarrassment, just lightly raised her hand towards Chen Yiqing, “Just unintentional words, no need for this, Uncle Chen. Yan’er has just arrived, unlike Uncle Chen who has managed this place for over eight years. You must know the situation in the Nine Towns really well. I observe that Uncle Chen is so wary of Great Xia, the reason must be more than just these spirit pills, right?”

“Indeed, if only a few spirit pills, how could I…”

“It has begun!”

Chen Yiqing immediately became solemn upon hearing this question, nodded heavily, and began to answer it, but was interrupted by Chu Yan’er halfway through.

What could have begun?

“The army is gathered at Hongmen, it seems Great Xia does not intend to hand over the real culprit!”

Hearing the slightly angry voice of Yang Zhun from the sky above, the expressions of the seven in the room all suddenly brightened, quickly following Chu Yan’er to the windowsill, looking northward at the sky above the Ministry Building.

The eight had just chatted over so much content, quite some time, totaling nearly two hundred breaths from start to finish.

That is to say, from the moment Yang Zhun appeared above the Ministry Building to when he spoke the first word, nearly two hundred breaths had passed.

The reason Yang Zhun took so long to speak was not hard to guess.

Just looking at the expressions of the people on Great Xia’s side reveals it.

When Yang Zhun and the twelve appeared, Xia Chuan led over a hundred people from inside the Ministry Building. They looked up directly at the twelve in the sky, transitioning from expressions of nonchalance to being gradually intimidated by the twelve Xianyang Level powerful auras, to when Yang Zhun spoke, except for the first two or three dozen, almost everyone had beads of sweat trickling on their foreheads.
