Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1251: Chapter 415: Jiao Long Nest Blossoms and Bears Fruit, Siblings’ Personality Changes

"My lord, Minister Mu has arrived!"

"Let him in."

Xia Hong, who was lost in thought, was interrupted by the voice of the guard outside the hall. Hearing that Mu Dong had arrived, he immediately smiled and said to Xia Chuan, "You just returned the day before yesterday, you probably don’t know yet that recently the Craftsmen Department has come up with quite a lot of good things. Stay and check them out together!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan immediately realized that it must be about the treasure trove Xia Hong harvested from the Jiao Long Nest in mid-September, which has already borne fruit.

Just as he expected, Mu Dong did not come alone; he brought along five other people, each carrying something.

"Mu Dong, pay respects to the lord, pay respects to the minister!"

"No need for formalities. You look thrilled; clearly, you’ve gained quite a lot recently. Don’t keep us in suspense, just tell us directly!"

Xia Hong also looked slightly excited. He had been staying in the Star-picking Hall for his cultivation, and after hearing a report from Han Yue during the day that Mu Dong requested an audience, he already had some guesses.

Before nightfall, he sent someone to inform Mu Dong to prepare for a meeting, but coincidentally, Xia Chuan came to report about Chu Yan’er and the seven others; he realized that Chu Yan’er had quietly snuck into the Inner City and visited Yuan Cheng’s home, so he took Xia Chuan over to check it out first.

He was also curious about how many surprises the pile of treasures from the Jiao Long Nest could bring.

"The 24 types of Spirit Plants in the Jiao Long Nest have been identified by the Medicine Cauldron, and directly synthesized into 13 new elixir recipes. Directors Cheng Feng and Bai Dongying have been busy at the He Yin Station transplanting those Spirit Plants and have no time to come, so they entrusted their subordinates to present the elixirs to the lord..."

Representing the Harvesting Department to present elixirs, Mu Dong was evidently very excited. After speaking, he paused for a moment before turning to the first person behind him and opened the dish he carried.

Inside the dish were four small porcelain bottles of different colors. Mu Dong opened them one by one and enthusiastically introduced them to Xia Hong:

"Among the 13 elixir recipes, these four are the most useful.

The first is the Jiao Transformation Pill, with Jiao Long Blood as the main ingredient, supplemented by 26 precious Spirit Plants, which can help break through the limits of one’s Battle Body Talent;

The second is the Blood Jade Pill, with Beast King Blood as the main ingredient, supplemented by 17 precious Spirit Plants, with effects similar to the Blood Essence Pill, accelerating the progress of Reshaping Skin, but with effectiveness more than five times greater;

The third one is unique, called the Spiritual Milk Pill, with a Spirit Plant named Holy Young Fruit as the main ingredient, along with 8 auxiliary materials. Its effect is to replace the camp’s current supplementary food, and be given to children aged three to six once a month, allowing them to gradually increase their strength without interfering with their organic growth."

Upon hearing the effect of the third Spiritual Milk Pill, Xia Hong’s eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "Can the growth limit be estimated?"

Mu Dong cupped his hands and said, "The pharmacists of the Harvesting Department made preliminary estimates that as long as it is steadily administered before the age of six, the growth can be enhanced to at least the Logging Realm."

Upon hearing this, not only Xia Hong but also Xia Chuan beside him was slightly shaken.

The growth limit for children consuming elixirs certainly depends on individual talents, which cannot be accurately measured for the time being.

But the Harvesting Department has already concluded that it can be enhanced to at least the Logging Realm.

That’s no small feat!

This means that in the future, the children of the Great Xia, as long as they consume the Spiritual Milk Pill from the age of three, will have enhanced strength to at least the Logging Realm before acquiring cultivation qualifications at age six!

"Have you ever considered that perhaps one day, everyone in Great Xia will be able to cultivate, even children aged five or six possessing the strength of the Logging Realm?"

A question suddenly popped into Xia Chuan’s mind, and he turned to look at Xia Hong above with a slight touch of emotion.

This question was proposed by Xia Hong ten years ago, when he led the team to slay the Wood Puppet Monster, returning from Rogel Camp to the Mud Slope, preparing to change the meat distribution rules, he presented it directly to him and Yuan Cheng.

At the time, his and Yuan Cheng’s first reaction was laughter, feeling that Xia Hong was joking; children aged five or six having the cultivation of the Logging Realm was simply a fantasy for them back then.

Today, the Great Xia certainly has five or six-year-olds in the Logging Realm; his son Xia Yuzong is one among them, but they are very rare.

However, starting today, with the Spiritual Milk Pill, things are completely different.

No, wait!

Xia Chuan quickly realized that for all five or six-year-olds in Great Xia to possess the strength of the Logging Realm, there is still a key issue.

"Can the Spiritual Milk Pill be mass-produced?"

Xia Hong had already asked the question, so naturally, Xia Chuan did not need to repeat it and quickly looked expectantly at Mu Dong.

Mu Dong shook his head slightly and said, "This Holy Young Tree was discovered among the 24 Spirit Plants in the Jiao Long Nest by the lord, and when the Harvesting Department found it, it had only 29 ripe fruits on it. Paired with the other auxiliary materials, a total of 29 batches were refined, with 8 Spiritual Milk Pills per batch, totaling just 232 pills at present.

Cheng Feng estimates the blooming and fruiting cycle of the Holy Young Tree to be minimally over ten years. Even if successfully transplanted back to the medicine field, using coal stone and silver to accelerate growth would take about seven years or more, with an expected yield of 50 fruits per harvest..."

The Harvesting Department now handles thousands of Spirit Plants, and Cheng Feng has long led the pharmacists to compile a method for estimating the maturity cycle of Spirit Plants, with the estimated timeline differing from the actual cycle by no more than a year.

Thus, according to this prediction, the Spiritual Milk Pill certainly cannot be mass-produced!

Xia Hong’s expression showed slight disappointment. Even if all children aged 3 to 6 increase their strength to the Logging Realm, it won’t have a significant impact on the current camp, but looking into the future, the impact could be enormous.
