Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

The Martial Arts Pavilion enhances cultivation efficiency; the Artifact Refining Pavilion enriches the armory, not to mention the pills in the Alchemy Pavilion. These three buildings are closely tied to everyone in Great Xia, and their every change generally heralds significant camp development. Being the Director of the Harvesting Department, Cheng Feng is well aware of this, which is why he is so excited.

And just as he was growing excited, Xia Hong quietly arrived at the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

”18 Zong, your cultivation is indeed slightly inferior to Cheng Feng’s. You barely leave Xia City, do you?”

Mu Dong wasn’t crafting today but teaching his apprentices. The recent changes in the Artifact Refining Pavilion must have alerted him, so seeing Xia Hong come over, he wasn’t quite surprised.

Mu Dong, having just sent off his apprentices, stiffened at Xia Hong’s mention of his cultivation, nodded, and replied with a bitter smile, ”I am indeed engrossed in artifact refining, having not left Xia City for several consecutive years. Forgive me, Lord.”

Xia Hong waved his hand, saying, ”Cheng Feng, like you, has an Intermediate Battle Body, but his strength has reached 23 Zong, demonstrating he has put considerable effort into cultivation. Both of you shouldn’t lack Contribution Value. I recall the exchange limit for Dragon Carp Pill and Green Cod Pill for the Eight Departments Directors is 10 each per month. Your strength shouldn’t lag behind his by such a margin, right?”

When an Intermediate Battle Body breaks through, its basic strength should not exceed 16 Zong. Both Mu Dong and Cheng Feng have reached Peak Cold Resistance Cultivation. To improve, they would need Dan Medicine; thus, given equal resource supply, a 5 Zong difference in strength clearly signifies an issue.

Either Mu Dong doesn’t invest time in cultivation, or he hasn’t exchanged for that many Dan Medicines.

”Your insight is sharp, Lord. I am not willing to invest much time in cultivation, so I’ve handed over the Dragon Carp Pills and Green Cod Pills I acquired to my son.”

Mu Dong has two sons named Mu Yan and Mu Feng, whom Xia Hong faintly remembers. When he heard that Mu Dong gave his cultivation resources to his sons, he shook his head and said, ”This is your family matter, and I shouldn’t interfere much. However, I must remind you that your forging ability is closely related to your strength. Currently, Ten Thousand Forging Level weapons require over a hundred Cold Resistance Level craftsmen working day and night for half a year. For higher level weapons, I estimate that without a Xianyang Level cultivation, it’s not worth thinking about. By then, you surely can’t expect me, the Lord, to stay in the Artifact Refining Pavilion forging weapons as in the past, right?”
