Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chen Tianhong, now 158 years old, is considered quite old with the lifespan of 200 years at the Xianyang Level, much less having the Peak of Xianyang cultivation and 43 Jun in strength. Yet, he no longer holds much hope of passing the Tribulation Body. His only remaining wish now is to nurture a few more outstanding young talents for Chen Cang and the Chen Family.

Obsessed with the Sword Dao all his life, three years ago on his way back to the mansion, he unexpectedly saw his nephew Chen Yiqing bringing back this young man who was practicing with the sword. Seeing the young man’s demonstrated talent in the Sword Dao, Chen Tianhong was overjoyed, eagerly inquiring about Ji Hong’s background from Chen Yiqing. After learning that he hailed from the Southern Wilderness, Chen Tianhong immediately took him in as a disciple.

Moreover, after a period of interaction, he increasingly appreciated this little disciple, ultimately announcing that he would no longer take in any more disciples, effectively treating Ji Hong as a Closed-door Disciple.

His disciple was excellent in everything, except being too obsessed with cultivation, almost not engaging in any activities other than cultivating. The heavens reward those who diligently strive for cultivation, and Chen Tianhong is naturally well aware of Ji Hong’s strength as a master.

In August this year, when Cai Qiu Prince Cai Shihong came to the County City to cause trouble, seeing that the Governor Mansion couldn’t present a promising candidate, Chen Tianhong directly brought Ji Hong out.

Ji Hong did not disappoint him; he utterly defeated Cai Shihong, allowing Chen Tianhong to gain significant face at the Governor Mansion.

Thinking of this, his affection for this little disciple has grown even stronger.

“Master, your disciple recently heard about a strange affair around the city, and I thought it might be problematic, so I came to report it.”

“What strange affair?”

Ji Hong responded with a bow, “Didn’t you mention last month that I should go out often and make friends? I’ve stayed in the mansion for so long and it wasn’t easy to interact freely with others, considering there are many guests in the mansion, I picked a young man named Jiang Kang from among them.”

“Jiang Kang…”

Chen Tianhong raised his eyebrows slightly at the mention, murmured the name and immediately remembered something. He looked up and said, “The guest who joined the mansion in May, who makes a living by running commerce, and is a family member of Jiang Fan?”

Ji Hong quickly nodded, “Indeed, Brother Jiang is Elder Jiang’s grandson, he’s straightforward, and I got along well with him.”

Chen Tianhong said nothing further, just waited for Ji Hong’s follow-up.

“Elder Jiang returned from running commerce in early May, and I hosted a table at Worldly Noble Tavern originally intending to invite only Jiang Kang, but seeing Elder Jiang and his entire family there, I extended the invitation to them all.”

“And then?”

“Then I met a very intriguing young man at the feast, he looked about the same age as me, likely just over thirty, but I couldn’t read his strength. I later asked Jiang Kang about it, and he said that was his elder brother Jiang Hong, with Cold Resistance Level Cultivation.”

“Cold Resistance Level Cultivation, and you couldn’t see through it?”

Chen Tianhong immediately questioned with an expression of surprise on hearing this.

His little disciple’s qualifications are unquestionable, combined with his earnest diligence, he now boasts 59 Manes strength, yet for him not to see through a Cold Resistance Level is rare.

Although Jiang Fan possesses Xianyang Level cultivation, with only 3 Jun in strength, it looks like he just broke through, but having such an outstanding grandson is indeed a blessing.

However, for a Cold Resistance Level with unreadable strength, Ji Hong need not specifically come to report it, so there must be more to it. Knowing this, he continued to listen, waiting for Ji Hong to finish.

“Things got odd afterward, for several days after I met with Jiang Kang, I noticed his face looking rather unpleasant. Being friends, I asked him what was wrong, but he wouldn’t say no matter what. Finally, having no choice, I privately approached Elder Jiang to seek clarity.
