Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1252: Chapter 415: Jiao Long Nest Bears Fruit; The Siblings’ Changes in Personality (Part 2)

That’s right, if such a precious thing could be mass-produced, it would be incredible!

The first batch has 232 pills, and every seven years thereafter, 50 furnaces will produce a total of 400 pills, which can roughly supply 11 children, which is quite good. If, subsequently, we could find a few more Holy Young Trees and increase the yield, that would be wonderful.

"Continue!"

With such low production, Xia Hong wasn’t too interested at the moment, so he directed his gaze to the fourth porcelain bottle. After a moment of speculation, his expression became expectant.

"Among these four kinds of Dan Medicines, the most precious has to be this fourth one!"

Mu Dong picked up the fourth porcelain bottle and, after opening it, poured a Spirit Pill emitting a strong light into his hand.

Forget about the strong light. Just when the Spirit Pill appeared, the sudden rise in temperature in the hall was enough to evoke amazement in Xia Hong and Xia Chuan’s eyes.

"This is the Sun-Rising Pill! Its main ingredient is 16 Heavenly Yang Fruits brought back by the Lord from White Tiger Pond, combined with 31 other auxiliary materials. The strong Medicinal Power it contains can not only accelerate the process of Cold Resistance Level reshaping flesh but also penetrate the bone without being stopped by flesh. Its function is possibly what the Lord previously mentioned about tempering bones to help one break through to the Xianyang Level."

The Sun-Rising Pill, named with Cheng Feng’s straightforward style.

But it’s harmless!

Mu Dong first presented the porcelain bottle in his hand to Xia Hong, then continued, "The auxiliary materials needed to refine the Sun-Rising Pill are not only vast in variety but also extremely difficult to obtain. The Alchemy Pavilion has only refined 12 furnaces so far, with 3 pills per furnace, and the remaining 4 Heavenly Yang Fruits can only await enough materials for another batch."

"What is the natural maturation cycle of the Heavenly Yang Fruit?"

"Fifteen years!"

With a natural cycle of fifteen years, even if transplanted into the Alchemy Pavilion’s herb field and matured with resources, it would take at least ten years.

This time, Xia Hong was not too disappointed. After all, it’s a Dan Medicine that helps one break through to the Xianyang Level, and mass production is too much to hope for.

Thirty-six pills are enough in a short time...

"Additionally, this second item is also brought by Cheng Feng, including Soldier Food Pill, Golden Body Pill, and a third rather strange pill, the Soul Loss Pill."

While Xia Hong pondered, Mu Dong already had someone open the second tray behind him and began introducing the three kinds of Dan Medicines within:

The Soldier Food Pill is formulated to imitate last year’s Dajue Temple’s Green Food Pills, with the main ingredient being the flesh of a Water Cold Beast from the Qinghepu waters. As the name suggests, its greatest use is to replace food by maintaining the human body’s needs, with a small pill being able to substitute for a day’s meal, making it perfect for military provisions;

The Golden Body Pill, on the other hand, is a similar Dan Medicine created after pharmacists cracked the formula of Dajue Temple’s Zen Gold Powder. Its efficacy is to enhance soldier defense, and the key is that it can be mass-produced and equipped on a large scale for soldiers.

After hearing the introduction of the two kinds of Dan Medicines, Xia Hong’s eyes immediately lit up, especially for the second one. As Mu Dong finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Has Cheng Feng tested how much defense ability the Golden Body Pill specifically can increase?"

Mu Dong nodded at once, answering, "It has already been tested. Like the Sunlight Pill, its effect is about thirty percent weaker compared to Dajue Temple’s combination with chanting."

During last year’s Dajue Temple disturbances, in terms of military strength alone, Dajue Temple was actually far inferior to either Jiangxia or Bashang, not to mention Jiangxia also brought in reinforcements from Yangqu and Dragon Valley. If it were a normal battle, Dajue Temple couldn’t have possibly defeated Jiangxia, let alone later breach Bashang Town.

The core reason Dajue Temple won two wars is that they allowed their army soldiers to gain extraordinary abilities through taking the Dan Medicines and chanting, namely the Fire Melting Pills and Lengyan Divine Spell, Zen Gold Powder and Six Paths Vajra Mantra, Cold Clearing Bead and Pure Water Divine Spell, Primordial Soul Pill and Rebirth Mantra, including the Shock Sky Pill that had yet to be used.

These crucial Spirit Pills were immediately researched by Cheng Feng and the pharmacists as soon as Xiang Liang returned them to Xia City. After half a year of research, results were naturally expected.

Just as Xia Hong had initially speculated, Dajue Temple truly had ulterior motives for taking those six-year-old children. The primary materials of these five Spirit Pills turned out to be the newly formed organs—heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney—of six-year-old children.

Great Xia naturally couldn’t follow Dajue Temple’s lead, using human organs for Alchemy. Cheng Feng had to find a way on the Cold Beasts, using organs from dozens of Cold Beasts, and after continuous experimentation, he finally found a replacement material for the Fire Melting Pills, making the Sunlight Pill before the Battle of Hongmen began.

For soldiers of Dajue Temple to activate these five kinds of Dan Medicines, they had to chant under the guidance of a Bhikkhu, but while Great Xia understood the Spell, their own chanting didn’t work.

Without chanting, the effectiveness of the Sunlight Pill was reduced by 30%. Dajue Temple’s Fire Melting Pills combined with chanting could allow those below Cold Resistance Level cultivation to be exposed to cold light for two hours, whereas the Sunlight Pill lasted for only an hour and a half;

Now that the effectiveness of the Golden Body Pill is also reduced by 30%, it’s not surprising.

Based on the circumstances of the Hongguan battle back then, even with a 30% reduction in effectiveness, the Golden Body Pill could still enhance soldiers’ defensive abilities by several folds after taking it. If used skillfully, it could undoubtedly become a significant weapon to tip the battlefield balance.

Suppressing his excitement, Xia Hong finally directed his gaze to the third kind of pill, the Soul Separation Pill that Mu Dong had just mentioned, with a face full of curiosity.
