Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1116: Chapter 384: His Highness’s New Friend, Settling in the Inner City, Cultivation Speed Increases, Fifth Birthday Banquet (Part 3)

Xia Hong wore a faint smile on his face. He remembered clearly that when he broke through to Xianyang Level and emerged last September, Li Xuanling was at a strength of 51 strands. By the end of April, when he went to Qinghepu to handle affairs, her strength had surpassed 53 strands.

In eight months, she had only increased her strength by a little over two strands. It was true that as Li Xuanling progressed, her rate of improvement became slower and slower. If she continued at this cultivation pace, it would probably take her at least three years to raise her strength to 68 strands and break through the Peak of Cold Resistance, just as estimated last September.

But just over the past three months, during her seclusion, Li Xuanling had surprisingly increased her strength by more than two strands. Her cultivation speed had evidently picked up once more.

”Thanks to the Twelve Blood Scripture Skills you brought back from Muyin City, my current cultivation speed is about the same as when I was at the Mid-stage Cold Resistance. For the final twelve strands of strength, as long as the supply of Blood Ginseng Pills is uninterrupted, I estimate that at the earliest by the end of next year, I can break through to the Peak of Cold Resistance and then strive for the Xianyang Level!”

Mentioning her goal to reach the Xianyang Level, Li Xuanling’s eyes sparkled with eager anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Xia Hong also displayed a smile and nodded, saying, ”Rest assured about the Blood Ginseng Pills. Muyin Town can sell 50 pills to Great Xia each month, probably enough to support the cultivation of five people.”

The Twelve Blood Scripture Skills from Muyin Town can enhance the efficiency of the body’s absorption of medicinal power by accelerating the blood and qi circulation through the twelve meridians, which is why Li Xuanling’s cultivation speed increased over the past three months.

Unfortunately, the cultivation conditions for the Twelve Blood Scripture Skills are exceptionally stringent.

Firstly, it requires very high meridian attributes for the cultivator. Ordinary top-grade battle body qualifications are insufficient for practice. Xia Hong roughly estimated that when breaking through the Cold Resistance Level, the basic strength needs to be at least five strands to meet its cultivation conditions.

With just this selection criterion, currently, in Great Xia, only he and his wife, along with Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao, can cultivate it. Xu Ning is still uncertain, so he can try it later;

Secondly, the principle of this technique is to constantly wash away impurities in the meridians with a special medicinal power, thereby enhancing the speed of blood and qi circulation. This special medicinal power originates from Muyin Town’s unique secret medicine, the Blood Ginseng Pill.

According to the technique’s description, one person’s cultivation requires approximately one Blood Ginseng Pill every three days, amounting to 10 pills a month. Muyin Town sells 50 pills each month, just enough to supply five people’s cultivation.

”No wonder Murong Chui was so generous, showing me the technique right away. Seeing the technique is just the first step; whether it can be practiced is a question. Even if it can be practiced, we still have to buy Blood Ginseng Pills from Muyin Town later. They’re treating us like a cash cow.”

”Is it expensive?”

Hearing the term ’cash cow,’ Li Xuanling asked curiously.

”180,000 taels per pill—do you say that’s expensive?”

180,000 taels per pill, 50 pills is 9 million taels, equivalent to 900,000 catties of silver.

The key point is that this is just a monthly expense. In this way, simply from selling the Blood Ginseng Pills, Muyin Town can earn 10.8 million catties of silver from Great Xia each year.

Not just expensive, it’s outrageously expensive!

Li Xuanling immediately shook her head repeatedly, saying, ”In that case, hurry up and let Cheng Feng lead the Harvesting Department to research the formula for the Blood Ginseng Pills!”

Xia Hong chuckled and shook his head, ”It’s not that simple. Many ingredients in this potion come from Moao Mountain, and there are likely some specialized drugs unique to the Muyin region. Other than the Eight Towns, they haven’t been developed yet. We’ve only been here for a short time, so it’s impossible to have results so quickly.”
