Chapter 419: Chapter 199: Good News Keeps Coming for the Hong Gang Family (Part 3)

But the reality is not like that at all.

Nowadays in the Great Xia, there are so many things that assist cultivation.

Martial Arts Hall, Beast Essence Pills, even salt and aged wine, these two things are also beneficial to one’s body when consumed over a long period. If children can ingest them in moderation over time, their cultivation will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort.

And these things all have to be exchanged for with Contribution Value.

Of course, there’s a bit of a gap between myself and Zhao Long, and the gap between the Green Wolf Team and the Falcon Hunting Team is even larger, Hong Gang knows all this.

But when it comes to nurturing his son, he certainly does not lose to Zhao Long.

The fact that his eldest son was able to break through to the Earth-digging Realm so quickly is already proof enough.

Beast Essence Pills, salt, even aged wine, and anything good that comes out of the Camp Supply Department, he basically exchanges it back first thing for his younger son to use.

Hong Gang’s thoughts turn back, seeing his younger son still looking at him expectantly, thinking that he too is determined, proposing such a request to break through to the Logging Realm sooner, although he was angry, he also felt somewhat gratified.

“Last month when I asked you to go, you didn’t want to, now you want to go, it’s too late…”

Missed opportunities are missed, where is it so easy to make up for them? Hong Gang shook his head slightly and continued: “Minister has ordered that for the time being, spots at the Martial Arts Hall are to be prioritized for the Earth-digging Realm, and now even those at the Logging Realm have only fifty slots daily, let alone below the Logging Realm, don’t even think about it. If you want to enter the Martial Arts Hall to cultivate, I estimate it will take at least three to four months, maybe even more, just wait patiently…”

Upon hearing that it was Minister Xia Chuan’s order, the previously expectant Hong Ye immediately became dejected.

Minister Xia Chuan’s order is tantamount to the leader’s order, even a small child like him in today’s Great Xia knows that.

“You rascal, knowing you can’t go now, you immediately feel down. Many children your age, even in the camp, have never gone in. At least you have a father who brings you Dan Medicine, and your beast meat is more than others, if you weren’t so playful, you might have broken through before Zhao Yuanwu. Now that you know regret, seize the time to cultivate, if you dare to play outside as soon as night falls again, I’ll beat you to death.”

Hong Gang was at heart hot-tempered, seeing Hong Ye down, his temper immediately flared up, putting down his bowl and chopsticks and giving a lecture.

“Alright, alright, I know, you talk too much, big brother, you’re really amazing, spending every day with dad and still putting up with it.”

Upon hearing Hong Ye’s words, Hong Gang immediately puffed up his beard and glared, standing up and grabbing a stick beside him, rushing towards him.

Bam…

Clearly battle-hardened, Hong Ye stood up and ran off before he’d even finished speaking, and upon seeing his father rushing towards him, he directly ran outside the house.

“Mom, I’ve eaten enough, I’m going out to play for a while, be back soon.”

“It’s just gotten dark, and you’re running out again, stop right there!”

“Dad, don’t hit me, I need to tell my good brothers, from tomorrow I’ll stay home to cultivate and won’t go anywhere.”

Hong Gang held the stick as he rushed out the door, seeing his son vanishing like a wisp of smoke, feeling both angry and amused, ultimately shook his head with a wry smile.

“Old Hong, teaching your son again.”

“This kid’s skin is tough, needs a good beating, hahaha.”

“I see Sister Fang also gets upset all the time, needs a good lesson.”

…

“Hahaha, sorry about that, this rascal, next time I’ll catch him and teach him a lesson.”

Seeing the neighbors come out to watch the commotion, Hong Gang awkwardly laughed a few times, his family at number eight, with Huang Yong on the left and Ying Xuan on the right, were very familiar with each other, exchanged a few courteous words, and then went back inside.

…

The life of Hong Gang’s family is somewhat a snapshot of Great Xia’s recent situation.

Ever since the pain brought by the Beast Tide finally subsided, Great Xia Valley entered a long-awaited period of calm.

To the north, Mirror Valley, south, Five Ape Mountain, west, Redwood Ridge, and even to the east, Twin Dragon Mountain on the cliff face, nothing could threaten Great Xia anymore.

Due to the unclear origin of the Beast Tide, for safety’s sake, Xia Hong had already ordered a halt to the exploration of the Arrow Bamboo Forest.

With Arrow Bamboo Forest exploration halted, Xia Chuan ordered a focus on exploring the Five Ape Mountain territory, stretching fifteen kilometers east to west, and five kilometers north to south, those camps had previously been limited to the southern slopes, so there was still much unexplored area available.

As the activity area of the Hunting Team expanded, their hunting successes grew increasingly rich, and the camp’s material reserves were steadily rising.

Of course, more importantly, their strength was rapidly increasing.

Calmness doesn’t mean idleness.

Each Hunting Team remained busy, and apart from their hunting frenzy, many noticed that leaders like Hong Gang from various Hunting Teams were rarely seen at home.

Apart from hunting outside, they spent almost all their time cultivating in the Martial Arts Hall, and with time passing, more people joined this trend.

The Martial Arts Hall had a total of 200 slots, some slots were directly opened for them, starting with 20 slots, then 25, and 30… increasingly rising.

An observant person could tell that these people had broken through to the Earth-digging Realm Limit and started using Beast Blood; they were essentially all the captains of the Hunting Teams.

The top brass of Great Xia were clearly engulfed in a cultivation craze.

Besides necessary hunting and mining, there was only cultivation.

Apart from these two tasks, they did almost nothing else.

Such an uninterrupted cultivation craze, with no external disturbances, brought tremendous improvements to Great Xia’s overall strength.

In the first year of Great Xia, on July 5th, with Hong Tian leading the team back with an Intermediate Blue Moon Elf, Great Xia finally had its third Intermediate Hunting Team.

On July 29th, unexpectedly, Luo Yuan’s Tiger Leopard Team managed to advance to Intermediate before Meng Yi, Zhu Ling, and Zhu Yuan.

On August 6th, the number of people in the camp at the Earth-digging Realm crossed the 1300 mark.

On August 17th, the number of teams under the Hunting Department also surpassed 60.

On August 20th, Meng Yi’s Heroic Martial Team finally turned the tables, becoming the fifth team to advance to Intermediate.

On September 8th, Yuan Cheng’s Dragon Slayer Team and Zhu Yuan’s Vigorous Martial Team both advanced to Intermediate on the same day.

On October 7th…

One piece of good news after another continuously reached Xia Hong through Xia Chuan, and his mood naturally became more and more elated.

However, he still awaited quietly.

Waiting for the camp to have a new Cold Resistance Level…
