Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1150: Chapter 392: Giant Tiger Mountain, Slaying the Flood Dragon at White Tiger Pool, Obtaining the Heavenly Yang Fruit, and Profound Gratitude

Upon hearing Xia Hong’s words, the two men’s faces were full of wry smiles.

Without even considering the strength Great Xia has showcased in the past four months, it’s clear from this year’s Hongmen Banquet that Great Xia might only need them to make some noise and not really require their support.

Moreover, Great Xia’s previous support of the two towns was genuine—helping Muyin resist invasions from Jin Mountain and Wuchuan, assisting Jiangxia in reclaiming lost territory, and reassigning Bashang’s lands to Jiangxia.

However, Xiahou Zhang understood what Great Xia needed, so after pondering for a moment, he cupped his hands and spoke earnestly: ”Lord Xia Hong, rest assured. Regardless of the intentions of the other towns, Xiahou Zhang does not care. No matter what conditions others may put forth, my Jiangxia will never stand against Great Xia in the future!”

Murong Chui imitated him, nodding and bowing, ”The prosperity of Muyin Town is solely due to Great Xia’s efforts. Though I am an aging body, I still understand decorum and shame. Should Muyin ever oppose Great Xia, I would meet a bad end!”

With this attitude, the six Heavenly Yang Fruits just now were not wasted.

Xia Hong’s smile deepened as he observed the Heavenly Yang Branch before him, his eyes twinkling slightly. He turned to Xiahou Zhang and said, ”Lord Xiahou, you mentioned earlier that the Heavenly Yang Branch matures once every twenty years and each time bears around thirty fruits, correct?”

Xiahou Zhang nodded. Giant Tiger Mountain, White Tiger Pond, and the Heavenly Yang Branch here were all discovered by his father, Xiahou Ming, over sixty years ago. Though his father and mentor Jiang Yinglong successfully picked Heavenly Yang Fruits, the observation never ceased, so they had already figured out the maturity pattern of the Heavenly Yang Branch.

”Such a celestial treasure, I reckon that even after the Black Flood Dragon leaves, other Beast Kings will come by. Great Xia has a medicinal field that can foster and transplant these spiritual seeds. If Lord Xiahou doesn’t mind, I would like to transplant this spiritual seed to Xia City. The fruits that grow in the future will be divided among our three families, what do you think?”

After Xia Hong spoke, he worried Xiahou Zhang might have reservations, so he immediately added, ”If you don’t trust Great Xia, you can remain in Xia City or send someone to exclusively monitor this Heavenly Yang Branch...”

”How dare I, Lord Xia Hong? Without your intervention, this Heavenly Yang Branch would remain as nothing more than a sight here. If Great Xia possesses such mystical abilities, it is indeed right to transplant it sooner.”

”I owe Great Xia too much for the three Heavenly Yang Fruits I’ve obtained today. What to divide and how doesn’t matter, Lord Xia Hong, please transplant it. If successful, it would be a boon for us Moao South Slope humans.”

With the six Heavenly Yang Fruits earlier, Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui would heed Xia Hong’s words, without a shred of dissent.

It makes sense. Maturing only once every twenty years, there’s a chance it’ll attract beastly beings like the Black Flood Dragon during the interim. The transplant itself poses a high risk, and considering the growth environment of the Heavenly Yang Branch, its successful transplant isn’t promising; naturally, they wouldn’t have high hopes.

This is very true—they still don’t know Great Xia’s capabilities!

Xia Hong wouldn’t elaborate much. Smiling lightly and nodding, he suddenly recalled something, indicating to the Heavenly Yang Fruits in their hands, ”Consuming these Heavenly Yang Fruits directly is unwise. If refined into Dan Medicine, the effects should be even better. If you trust me, you can leave the Heavenly Yang Fruits a little longer; we have some skilled Pill Masters who should be able to develop an Elixir Recipe from these Heavenly Yang Fruits. If there’s news, I’ll then notify you both.”

Great Xia’s Dan Medicine has already gained fame across Eight Towns. Upon hearing this, both men nodded immediately, feeling even more grateful to Xia Hong.

”Alright, that’s it for today. I still need to collect the Scale Armor that fell from the Black Flood Dragon. If you have nothing else, please feel free to return!”
