Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1448 - 461: Entering the Abyss, Blood Jade Pearl, the Terrifying Romantic Flower Sea (Part 3)

The serpent’s skull was almost instantly split into two halves, but strangely, it did not spray blood as expected. Instead, when its life was completely extinguished and its body slowly returned to normal size, thumb-sized blood-colored beads oozed from the gaping wound in its head.

Lin Wu expertly stepped forward, sliced open the Blood Jade Xuan Snake’s head, retrieved a bag, and extracted all the Blood Jade Pearls from within—about more than two hundred in total.

"With six Xianyang Level individuals at the very least having 13 Jun strength joining forces, the Blood Jade Xuan Snake could still put up a struggle; this Blood Cold Beast’s power..."

Xia Hong was not interested in observing the Blood Jade Pearls; his gaze was entirely focused on the corpse of the Xuan Snake, filled with shock and astonishment.

What is the concept of a normal Advanced Cold Beast?

To date, Xia Hong had hunted thousands if not tens of thousands of Advanced Cold Beasts, so he was all too familiar with them.

Their strength was calculated in jun, with the strongest among them never exceeding fifty jun; this was not their limit. The Ice Abyss is vast, and Xia Hong hasn’t seen all the Advanced Cold Beasts, but he could generally estimate the average strength of Advanced Cold Beasts.

Yet the Blood Jade Xuan Snake in front of him clearly broke all conventions!

Even with six Xianyang Level experts appearing, it wasn’t afraid at all; it even retaliated. Being constrained by five Xianyang Level cultivators and still being able to move its head was simply unimaginable.

Cai Yunlan noticed the shock in Xia Hong’s eyes and quickly explained:

"Brother Hong, the Advanced Cold Beasts within the Blood Miasma Zone are completely different from those outside. Their bodies have long been transformed by the blood-colored miasma, even in the areas that have already been cleared. The weakest Advanced Cold Beasts still possess above 50 jun strength, with the strongest reaching 1 Jun.

In the dense miasma zone, things are even more exaggerated; this Blood Jade Xuan Snake is one of the three major species on the outskirts, with Advanced Xuan Snakes’ strength generally around 5 Jun. Encountering a Beast King Level one would require all of us to join forces. If we fail to kill it before it summons its kin, even if we have fifty people, we must flee immediately, and..."

He paused and continued, "We can’t run directly to the area of the outer troops; if the Golden Bone Melting Furnace is discovered by them, it would immediately result in a fierce battle."

As he mentioned this last part, Cai Yunlan visibly showed some lingering fear.

Such experiences are naturally not gained without reason; combined with the expression on Cai Yunlan’s face, Xia Hong immediately understood that Cai Qiu’s forces must have suffered a big loss earlier.

After Lin Wu finished gathering the Blood Jade Pearls, he immediately handed the bag to Fan Qinghu.

Fan Qinghu counted through the Blood Jade Pearls, roughly allocated a portion, and then passed the bag down the line.

When the bag reached Cai Yunlan, he took out three and then passed it to Xia Hong, who, seeing Xia Hong’s puzzled expression, smiled and explained, "Since we came together, all the spoils naturally should be evenly distributed. The Blood Jade Xuan Snake yielded 240 high-quality Blood Jade Pearls, with the feudal town taking thirty percent, Admiral Fan leading the team and taking 18, and the remaining 150, we each get 3 pearls."

Xia Hong raised an eyebrow, not hesitating, and directly took out three crystal-clear Blood Jade Pearls, then passed the bag to the next person.

"The matter of the Blood Jade Pearls, Brother Hong should have already heard in the county mansion. They can reforge the skin membrane for those at Cold Resistance Level, enhancing the foundation, and elevate Battle Body Talent. However, this applies to the low-quality Blood Jade Pearls in the Trial Zone.

The high-quality Blood Jade Pearls are different.

Brother Hong knows that during Cold Resistance Level cultivation, medicinal power is used to destroy existing flesh and blood tissues, allowing the body to regenerate a more perfect round. Due to limitations in foundation and methods, most people’s flesh remains far from perfect. The distinction in bone quality in subsequent breakthroughs to Xianyang Level occurs because the blood’s carrying capacity is limited.

These high-quality Blood Jade Pearls enable us Xianyang Level cultivators to remedy the defects and deficiencies in our flesh. Given a sufficient quantity, they could even allow the flesh to gradually reach a perfect state, though unable to improve bone quality, they still enhance considerable power..."

At this point, Cai Yunlan paused, smiled at Xia Hong, and said, "Of course, Brother Hong comes from a strong feudal and prestigious family, with abundant resources and formidable foundation. Your regenerating flesh during Cold Resistance Level cultivation must be close to the perfect state. However, any improvement is better than none. If not needed, they can be passed down to the younger generations!"

"I see, then indeed they’re of little use to me!"

Xia Hong said without a change in expression, then noticed some in the team directly swallowing the Blood Jade Pearls. He instantly followed suit and ingested them.

Ssssss...

Once the Blood Jade Pearls entered his stomach, they immediately dissolved into warm currents, dispersing throughout his body. The flesh beneath his skin membranes emitted faint sizzling sounds, recreating the regenerative process of flesh during Cold Resistance Level cultivation, instantly exciting Xia Hong.

No way could Cai Yunlan know that Xia Hong was nothing like a young master from prominent feudal families. At the Earth-digging Realm Limit, Xia Hong relied on a system feature to consume resources to withstand neural pain, achieving a perfect state of skin remodeling, breaking through with nine jun strength immediately.

As for the entire Cold Resistance Level cultivation process afterwards, there was hardly any foundation to speak of. Xia Hong simply adhered to the routine consumption of Yangyuan Pill, completing the entire flesh regeneration process almost ignorantly, finally condensing the highest-grade Bone Burning with sheer determination during the breakthrough.
