Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 887: Chapter 338: Rapid Progress, Martial Arts Skills, Dual Advance Eastward, Dormancy Period_2

But in reality, it was completely different.

Firstly, after the Level 4 Cold Ruins Tripod upgraded to the Level 5 Yangxu Tripod, its radiation range instantly reached twenty kilometers. This is considered the basis for Xia City’s expansion, crucially, not only did its fuel consumption increase, but it also added a new fuel:

Silver!

That’s right, silver can also become fuel for the Yangxu Tripod.

[Yangxu Tripod (Level 5): Can significantly increase temperature within a twenty-kilometer radius through burning wood, coal, and silver, has the ability to kill advanced deceitful monsters, is extremely attractive to Cold Beasts, can be used to cast ironware and silverware.]

[Special Function 1: Every 100 units of wood burned can produce a small fire torch, capable of killing advanced deceitful monsters, burning time is one hour]

[Special Function 2: Every 200 units of coal stone burned can produce one portion of Solidified Fire Oil, harmless to humans, but ignites upon contact with deceitful monsters, having a very strong lethal effect]

[Special Function 3: Every 500 units of silver burned can produce one Suppression Talisman, the wearer of which cannot be approached by deceitful monsters]

[Special Function 4: All personnel in the camp can be modified by this tripod to acquire the latent Great Xia Sacred Pattern Bloodline, with the host as the Bloodline Ancestor.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 1000 million coal 3000 million iron 1 million silver 100 thousand gold]

[Daily Consumption: Wood 1000, Coal 100, Silver 10. The host can freely adjust the tripod’s fire radiation range, burning a single type of fuel yields the same warming effect, but suppression capabilities will greatly decrease, with a fuel ratio of 1 to 100.]

After being upgraded, the Yangxu Tripod’s capabilities have significantly improved; the previous description of advanced deceitful monsters was intimidation, now it has become suppression and extermination; the strength of small fire torches has also increased substantially; moreover, a new item called the Suppression Talisman has been added.

From the final consumption description, it’s evident that three types of fuels need to be added to maximize the effects of the Yangxu Tripod. Since that’s the case, silver, like wood, coal, and iron, becomes an essential resource for the camp.

"This is just one Yangxu Tripod. Additionally, there are the Alchemy Pavilion’s medicinal fields, the Artifact Refining Pavilion’s silver furnace, the Martial Arts Pavilion’s activation itself, and the newly added fifty Cold Beast Stakes; to achieve the best effect, they all need silver. This camp system is clearly a massive resource devouring machine!"

Xia Hong sighed slightly. Although he was complaining, he could actually understand in his heart.

The functions provided by the system buildings aren’t without reason. To achieve the best effects, the resource requirements are inevitably higher, which is normal.

He didn’t even account for the Enlightenment Divine Lotus with all that silver consumption just now.

Just cultivating for one day requires 50 points; every martial arts derivation is 5000 points; each enlightenment is 50000 points, and there is finally that extraordinary skill worth 100000 silver points, usable once a year, with only a twenty-percent success rate, which he currently doesn’t dare to even attempt.

"Anyway, the cultivation issue is solved. Based on my current pace of cultivation in these twenty days, even if the pace slows down later, raising the basic strength to seventy-two 鬃, it only requires less than a year, possibly even shorter if I use the monthly enlightenment opportunity.

Besides the Silver Mine being mined on the North Slope, there are three confirmed ones in Long Mountain, and one in Beimang Mountain. They are all there and won’t run away; it’s up to Great Xia’s strength!

The quota for the Martial Arts Pavilion has increased to a thousand people. Once the silver mining increases, it can be upgraded again, allowing more people to simultaneously enter for cultivation, accelerating the camp’s strength enhancement.

The Dan Medicine development in the Alchemy Pavilion and the armor casting in the Artifact Refining Pavilion, all capabilities are rising rapidly, awaiting the next peak period of strength to launch an operation on those four silver mines!"

Xia Hong exhaled lightly, picked up all forty-five martial arts techniques from the ground, and then looked up, calling softly towards the door: "Han Yue?"

Almost as soon as he spoke, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Since he had always been in seclusion, he wouldn’t just wake up for no reason; it was the hurried steps towards the Star-picking Platform that made him come out of seclusion.

"Han Shuang greets the Lord, Ming Yue just came to inform that the Minister has important matters to discuss with you; it seems that Hanqiong’s Defender, Lord Lu, brought back some important news."

Upon hearing this, Xia Hong recalled that he indeed sent Han Yue to handle matters in the Artifact Refining Pavilion today. Hearing that Lu Yang had returned from Hanqiong, he immediately realized something, and a hint of light appeared in his eyes as he stood up directly.

"It must be news about that dark passage!"

......

Main Building, Political Hall.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

"No need for formalities, is it about that dark passage, there’s news?"

Rushing over, Xia Hong directly asked Lu Yang.

"The Lord’s predictions are truly clever; I am in awe!"

Since being in charge of Hanqiong, Lu Yang had evidently become more savvy. He first praised Xia Hong with a smile before continuing with a face full of excitement:

"We spent over seven months, and finally, on the night of August 6th, we cleared the collapsed section of Han Feng. As expected by the Lord, that dark passage indeed led to the top of Twin Dragon Mountain, spanning forty-five kilometers, with its final exit in a region called Beining Mountain."

The tunnel was opened on August 6th, and today is September 5th, indicating it took a month to return to Xia City to report the situation. Lu Yang had evidently learned a lot about the conditions in Beining Mountain.

"Sit down and explain slowly!"

Xia Hong’s eyes lit up, he directly took the main seat, and gestured for Xia Chuan and Lu Yang to sit down and explain slowly.
