Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1110: Chapter 383: Han Feng Returns Home, New Travel Permit Rules, Xia City’s Street Vendors, and the Black-Robed Child Blocking the Road (Part 3)

With his gaze withdrawing from the secret tunnel barrier, Han Feng’s face was full of shock. At the end of last year, when the Nine-Town Coalition suffered a major defeat at Hongguan, he returned directly to Jinshan Town. In just a few days, he came to Beishuo to find Lu Yang.

Previously, when Han Feng saw Lu Yang with 31 people at Hongguan, he vaguely felt that the Great Xia had long since changed and its strength certainly surpassed his imagination.

Yet, at the end of the year, when he arrived at East Ridge Village, he was instantly subdued.

The entire East Ridge Village surprisingly had over a hundred Cold Resistance Level cultivators and hundreds at the Earth-digging Realm Limit.

Just this strength alone was enough to crush Guyan Village where he resided.

The key point was that Han Feng knew very well, Lu Yang was just a subordinate under Xia Hong.

How strong must the Great Xia be?

The subsequent journey to Great Xia stirred a mighty wave in Han Feng’s heart.

Later, in Xia City, he met Han Yue and Han Shuang, the two younger sisters. Seeing their Cold Resistance Level cultivation and understanding the kind of life they were leading now, returning from Xia City to Guyan Village, Han Feng never stopped thinking.

For the past half year, he had been planning to send his wife and children back to Xia City to live, and of course, besides this, there was his own personal future.

Han Feng was not someone content with mediocrity. Six years ago, he led people from the secret tunnel out of Longyou and into the Nine Towns Territory. Unfamiliar with the environment, he mistakenly wandered into Jinshan Town’s territory, suffering deaths and injuries along the way, until only over three hundred people remained. They were taken in by Guyan Village Leader Tan Yuan.

In just six years, Han Feng not only broke through to the Peak of Cold Resistance, reaching a strength of 17 Hoard, but also married Tan Yuan’s niece Tan Rou, relying on the support of those Hanqiong elders back then to become the Deputy Leader of Guyan Village.

Logically speaking, his status in Guyan Village is not low, continuing to live there with his wife and children would be quite good. But having seen the celestial palace, how could he be satisfied with an ordinary life?

Not to mention comparing Guyan Village with Xia City. He had entered Jinshan City, and by his observations, even Jinshan City couldn’t compare to Xia City.

Just one point: last year in Xia City, he saw children who were the same age as his two sons, and most were more robust than his own two. Just on this point, he had ample reason to take his wife and children to Xia City.

Of course, there was also the issue of his own cultivation.

Han Feng is only thirty-four years old this year. He is not willing to stop at the strength of 17 Hoard for life. The problem is that enhancing strength beyond the Peak of Cold Resistance is too difficult.

Jinshan Town’s Tiger Power Pill costs 100,000 taels of silver per pill.

This price, Han Feng simply couldn’t afford.

As the Deputy Leader of Guyan Village, his authority and treatment are naturally not low. He regularly has some silver income, and his strength is not weak. Occasionally, he would respond to Jinshan City’s summons or help other villages to earn extra, but the speed was too slow.

He saves at most 6,000 taels of silver a year; at this rate, it would take fifteen years to save enough to buy one Tiger Power Pill. By then, nearing old age, he would only be able to buy two or three Tiger Power Pills.

How could Han Feng endure this?

In his heart, there was the Xianyang Dream!

Last year when Dajue Temple caused chaos, Jinshan Town summoned Cold Resistance Level cultivators from various villages to help. As Deputy Leader, he actually didn’t need to come, but the reason he did was to earn more silver.

This is also fate; an adventurous journey to Hongguan unexpectedly led him to meet Lu Yang and others, learning about Great Xia’s current situation.

"Last year Han Shuang took me to Great Xia’s Camp Supply Department. There, the Dragon Carp Pills and Green Cod Pills only needed 30,000 Contribution Value points internally per pill. Ways to earn Contribution Value aside, the Camp Supply Department exchanged silver at 80 points per pound, so converting the 30,000 points is just 3,750 taels of silver. The silver I currently have is enough to buy five pills at once. Joining Great Xia is a must!"

Han Feng silently pondered, his eyes full of determination. Joining Great Xia could not only provide a better life for his family but also allow him to continue enhancing his strength. It might even make his Xianyang Dream come true in the future.

"Moreover, the recent rumors, even if half are true, are enough to prove that what I saw last year in Xia City did not fully represent Great Xia. The true strength of Great Xia might be far more terrifying than I imagined!"

Remembering those messages concerning Great Xia that reached Jinshan Town last month, Han Feng’s eyes gradually heated up, his demeanor beginning to excite.

He inexplicably thought of that person he briefly met six years ago when he led people out from Cold Jade Secret Tunnel, recalling he once tried to ambush him, and then that person personally invited him to join Great Xia. He shook his head repeatedly, a bitter smile on his face.

The entire Cold Jade Secret Tunnel spanned 45 kilometers. If walking, Han Feng with his wife and children would take at least two hours, but using the flatbed cart to descend swiftly, they took less than a quarter of an hour.

Bang......

"Brother Han, you’ve finally arrived!"

Lu Yang was actually waiting at the end of the passage.

Han Feng instantly guessed Wang Tao had sent the message down in advance. Hurriedly, he led his wife and two children to jump from the flatbed cart and saluted toward Lu Yang: "Han Feng pays respect to Lord Lu!"

He was already familiar with Great Xia and knew Lu Yang’s official position. Coming this time to join Great Xia, he couldn’t casually address him as before.

Upon hearing Han Feng’s address, Lu Yang immediately understood and, smiling, led the family of four out of the secret tunnel.

As it was six years ago, the tunnel exit was inside the original Hanqiong Camp’s main building.
