Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1377: Chapter 446: Arrangements, Power Growth and Departure, Splendors of Hongmen (Part 2)

Seeing the pill bottle, the two brothers’ expressions immediately turned excited.

"I never expected that the materials left by the lord in that cave would be so abundant. There are 72 sets of Jade Bone, 17,000 jin of High-level Beast Meat, and nearly 8,000 jin of High-level Beast Blood. The total value is as high as 15 million taels of silver."

Hu Tiejiang couldn’t help but sigh, then opened the pill bottle, inhaling the aroma of the Spirit Pills inside, his eyes revealing a trace of intoxication. He then slightly vibrated with excitement and said, "25 bottles of Jade Yang Pill used for cultivation at the Cold Resistance Level, a total of 300 pills; 8 bottles of Yang Breaking Pill used for cultivation at the Peak of the Cold Resistance Level, a total of 80 pills. This batch of Dan Medicine is enough for both of us to cultivate for three years."

The most critical thing is, due to the reputation of Hong Mansion, they entirely don’t need to explain the source of this batch of Dan Medicine. Moreover, within a short time, no one would dare to have designs on them.

"When I went to the Treasure Pavilion, I said these were bought for the four young masters of the mansion. Normally, people wouldn’t believe that we could come up with so many things, so as long as we hide it well and don’t flaunt it, basically no one will suspect anything."

Hu Tiejiang clenched his fists, considering this batch of Dan Medicine their capital to defy the heavens and change their fate.

"Tiechuan, we will continue living in Hong Mansion for another month. Once the situation calms down, we will quietly take Jing’er and Qing’er out of the city to return to Evergreen Valley. Now we all have civilian status, and with Lord Hong’s protection, Zhang Yiqing and the others wouldn’t dare to act against us easily. But to be safe, we still can’t return to Red Tiger Ridge. Instead, we will find a small village in the depths of Evergreen Valley to settle down, calmly assimilate these cultivation resources, and once we are stronger, proceed with the tasks the lord instructed us seven days ago..."

Thinking of Hong Yu’s instructions seven days ago, even though Hu Tiejiang’s heart was full of fear, his pupils held a faint, strong excitement.

As for Hu Tiechuan, the same applied. He nodded vigorously in response, then touched the scar on his face, his pupils filled with excitement, showing no trace of fear.

At the end of March, on a pitch-black night, the Hu brothers went together to the main building of Hong Mansion to say farewell. Although they couldn’t get a response from Hong Yu, both of them respectfully kowtowed before quietly taking their family away from Hong Mansion under the cover of night.

April 20, year 297 of the Caiqiu Calendar

In the tranquil room of the main building of Hong Mansion, Xia Hong sat with his eyes tightly closed, a slight expression of pain appearing on his face.

His whole body was enveloped with a thin layer of oval-shaped blood-colored medicinal power, resembling a blood cocoon. The medicinal power continuously seeped through the skin membrane, permeating deep into his blood and meridians.

The dark red bone appearance suspended behind him showed almost no height change compared to two months ago. However, the meridian color on the periphery of the bone appearance had gradually changed from transparent to light red. Though not a normal blood color, it already began to take the rudimentary form of true human meridians.

"Hoo..."

After an unknown period, the thin medicinal power was entirely absorbed by him. Once the blood and meridians returned to their normal state, he let out a long breath, and the six-zhang tall bone appearance behind him slowly dissipated.

"As before, unless I break through to the late stage, neither the bones nor the bone appearance would change, and the power growth is also minimal. However, the surprise brought to me by the Washing Marrow Pill and the Twelve Blood Scripture Skills seems considerable..."

Xia Hong clenched his fist, sensing his strength, and his eyes immediately brightened.

"45 Jun, an increase of 4 Jun, before breaking through to the late stage, this seems to be a way to enhance strength!"

When he passed through the Bone-Eroding Path, his basic strength was 40 Jun. During the four months of healing and recuperation in Evergreen Valley, it only increased by 1 Jun. This time, after three months of consecutive seclusion, he managed to increase by 4 Jun at once.

At Xianyang Level cultivation, each 1 Jun increase in strength is enough to create a considerable gap with others, not to mention this is the most basic strength enhancement. With Xia Hong’s various means, he could at least convert this 4 Jun into 8 Jun of combat power.

"The true strength of a Tribulation Body Realm expert is unclear, but judging from Cai Yunzhou’s ranking at the Xianyang Level among the Four Vassals, it can be roughly inferred..."

He has been in Qinghua City for four months, and despite using circuitous methods, Xia Hong has learned quite a bit of information. Among the more important pieces is the Heaven and Earth Rankings of the Four Vassals.

The so-called Heavenly List is a ranking enthusiasts have compiled for Xianyang Level experts in the Four Vassals, based on their previously revealed performances. The Earth List corresponds to the Cold Resistance Level.

The specific number of Xianyang Level experts in the Four Vassals is certainly known to only a few, but anyway, the list includes 100 people.

"Cai Yunzhou’s basic strength is 18 Jun, and the strongest he can burst out is 25 Jun, earning him the 46th place. Then the gold content of this Heavenly List should not be too high. Even if I’m not first, I should be among the top batch.

What a pity, if only there were a ranking for Tribulation Body Realm experts..."

Thinking of this, Xia Hong chuckled and shook his head.

Last year, when he emerged from the Bone-Eroding Path, judging by He Qing’s reaction, he could roughly deduce there were likely no Venerable Level experts among the Four Vassals.

This also means that in the land of the Four Vassals, the Tribulation Body Realm experts are already at the top. Who would have the guts to rank and sequence such people?

"Being at the top of the Xianyang Level is close enough. As long as no Tribulation Body Realm expert makes a move on me, I’m basically safe. I’m low on Dan Medicine and need to repurchase, and also need to investigate Chen Cang’s situation. It’s time to set off for Lin Chu County... Oh, and see how those four are doing!"

Xia Hong’s mind moved slightly, releasing his senses to perceive the situation of the four siblings in the auxiliary building.

Moments later, a smile appeared on his face.
