311. Chapter 307: Nationwide Distribution of Elixir

The Great Xia authorities, as well as the Longyuan Immortal Sect and the Cultivation Academy, were all paying attention to Ye Qin's matter of traversing the void with his fleshly body and waging war across the universe.

As time passed, the external situation became increasingly severe; large numbers of people kept dying, one city after another fell, and countless lives perished in the white expanse of heaven and earth.

Countless nations saw this, their eyes turned red with anxiety, and they had no mood to bother why Great Xia launched rockets at this time.

Even if Great Xia's technological capabilities are strong, what of it?

In this situation, it's likely many people will die domestically as well!

Since further monitoring became impossible, completely beyond technological capabilities, Great Xia also turned its attention back to the heavenly and earthly calamity, merely letting the aerospace department closely monitor the movements in the universe.

The severe cold continued to descend; when the heavenly and earthly blizzard had lasted three months, the global average temperature had already reached nearly minus 150 degrees!

What a terrifying number!

If an ordinary person walks there without protective clothing, exposed to the outside, at most they need only three seconds to instantly freeze a living person into a block of ice!

Faced with this situation, many runes also began to fail, heating cables gradually dissipated, and many regions of Great Xia also faced the loss of heating.

Upon hearing this news, many people around the world became excited, after all some people have dark hearts, they themselves are not doing well, and they also hope everyone else falls into the same misfortune as them.

"Hahaha! I knew you Great Xia could never defend such vast territory!"

"Even if you defend in advance, what of it? It's still a dead end; it's just a matter of dying early or late."

"It seems Great Xia will also have to face the situation of widespread domestic suffering."

Faced with all this, many of Great Xia's people remained remarkably calm; after such a long time of cultivation, almost everyone on average had reached at least the Fifth Level of the First Rank, and their physical fitness had greatly improved.

Although a temperature of minus 150 degrees is cold, for them it is not an unacceptable range; with sufficient food, they can barely endure it.

Just under these circumstances, Great Xia issued another emergency announcement!

"Considering the intensifying heavenly and earthly severe cold, the Great Xia authorities have decided to distribute a portion of elixirs; this elixir is used to nourish the foundation and solidify the primordial. After use, please quickly seek a safe area to lower temperature."

Following the issuance of this notice, the relevant departments of Great Xia dispatched many cultivation soldiers; they should now be called cultivators.

They began distributing elixirs in households that had lost heating and electricity.

These elixirs are nothing else; they are one of the items that Ye Qin previously had the Northeast Tiger bring to Great Xia.

He had long anticipated such a scene; these elixirs are a batch of body-tempering and sinew-refining elixirs, which strengthen the body, resist cold, and have very simple raw materials.

According to Ye Qin's current cultivation level, refining these basic elixirs can be said to be easy; each batch can produce many, amounting to thousands or tens of thousands.

Moreover, many of the surrounding Great Demons also know how to refine them and helped produce many more; it's a trivial task.

These elixirs are of no use to them, after all Great Demons have fur and strong defensive power; this cold poses no threat to them at all, and they absolutely do not need to take elixirs.

But for humans, it's different.

Among the people of Great Xia, although they have cultivated basic techniques, some have low cultivation levels and have never come into contact with miraculous elixirs; to them, these elixirs are practically an unprecedented great tonic.

After Great Xia sent out these elixirs, almost the entire disaster area was completely in an uproar.

One after another, Longyuan Mountain Range elixirs were ordered by the authorities to be urgently distributed to many provincial regions!

The effects of these elixirs had been tested by Hua Tiancheng and others, but actually at first, Hua Tiancheng and others did not take these elixirs' effects to heart.

After all, these elixirs are truly too many; even in a small pouch, there are at least close to a hundred million densely packed!

Such a large number of elixirs were casually thrown over!

Although they come from the Longyuan Mountain Range, just a shake of the hand produces so many, inevitably raising doubts about the elixir's efficacy and such.

On the contrary, Hua Tiancheng and others were initially very interested in the very small pouch that holds these elixirs.

However, a palm-sized pouch actually contains nearly a hundred million elixirs and feels weightless.

This should be what fantasy novels describe as something similar to a storage bag of space.

If explained with scientific technology, it belongs to the type of space folding!

With today's earthly scientific technology, it is still off by a hundred and eight thousand miles; even its principle cannot be figured out.

Many scientists dare not even think about it!

After Hua Tiancheng and others tested the elixirs' effects, their attitude underwent a 180-degree turn!

All the major military factories nationwide ceased work, and they all received an order; even the projects to build heating and cables were temporarily halted.

Seeing this, countless leaders of the military factories were dumbfounded, wondering what had happened.

It actually turned out to be more important than manufacturing heating and cable parts!

And when they saw the drawings issued from above and their contents, they all fell into a state of bewilderment.

They were precisely small boxes for carrying elixirs!

What the hell is this?

A square little box?

And we actually need 90 million of them???

After all, it's an urgent task issued from above; once the task was confirmed correct, all major military factories nationwide swiftly sprang into action!

Despite burning countless machines, the factory workers practically worked around the clock, and within just a few days they managed to produce 90 million small boxes for loading elixirs!

After urgently sending the boxes to the 749 Bureau, Hua Tiancheng personally led the other members, taking the numerous elixirs out of the pouch one by one and placing them into the small boxes!

After conducting several checks and compilations, and recording them on file, the various entities of the Great Xia 749 Bureau then carefully distributed these elixirs nationwide!

Out of the nation's 663 cities, each basically received around 100,000 elixirs, prepared for those who need elixirs, such as those with insufficient cultivation level, or some elderly, children, and the weak.

Some cultivators can circulate their techniques, and with the protection of protective clothing, their lives are basically not in danger.

The remaining over 20 million elixirs were kept in the capital as a reserve for emergencies!

And during the transportation of these elixirs, the Great Xia 749 Bureau was extremely cautious; they not only found many cultivators, but also drafted many personnel from within the bureau to accompany the operation, ensuring this action would be flawless!

At the same time they were acting, the Earth's orbit drifted further, extreme cold arrived, global freezing intensified, and the whole world fell into a frozen world.

Every day countless lives perish, to the point that it can no longer be counted by data.

Faced with all this, even within Great Xia, many cities could not hold up, their cables and heating destroyed by extreme cold and storms.

Even if Ye Qin is all-capable and has no oversight, relying solely on his own power to resist heavenly and earthly disasters is still somewhat difficult; it's impossible to take care of every corner of Great Xia.

And the region suffering the most severe damage is the Huaxia District in the southeast of Great Xia.

Here there is a sheet of extreme cold storm cloud mass descending over the city, mixed with falling icicles, causing the supply of

electricity and heating supplies were destroyed.

Huaxia District.

Lincheng.

Because of the loss of electricity, the whole city fell into darkness, the temperature between heaven and earth kept dropping, and with the passage of time, even if the people of Lincheng continuously practiced their cultivation techniques day and night, they could barely hold on at this point.

The blizzard intensified, and the wind chill was piercing.

Now the outdoor temperature has reached minus 170-plus degrees; even those soldiers who have achieved cultivation dare not step onto the snow and ice without wearing special protective gear.

The indoor temperature is probably a bit better, around minus 60 degrees.

The people of Lincheng, because food supplies are absolutely abundant, are very friendly; they have not scattered but are united from top to bottom.

In order to respond to sudden situations and get through this crisis, they formed groups of dozens or over a hundred people in rooms within the buildings.

Everyone gathered together, relying on the heat from cultivation and breathing, barely raising the indoor temperature to around minus 60 degrees.

But even facing this temperature is actually quite terrifying, especially for the children and infants, who have little cultivation time or simply cannot cultivate at all.

Even if placed at the very center of the room and warmed with kerosene lamps, they now can barely hold up, curled up in blankets, shivering.

"Mom, I'm so cold."

Their tender voices trembled constantly from the cold; these children, having trained for a short time, still cannot resist the cold, and now their little faces are flushed red, their fingers covered with chilblains, some even ulcerated.

Although they are young, they are already sensible; even if their hands are itchy and painful, they do not cry or throw tantrums.

Many mothers' eyes turned red with pity, but it was of no avail; they could only keep blowing warm air and rubbing their hands to try to keep the children warm, yet even that was like a drop in the bucket, utterly ineffective.

"Kids, just hold on a bit longer; the state will surely come up with a solution, as long as we get through this period."

The obedient child nodded slightly, pressing tightly against the mother's body, as if this could draw warmth.

The faces of the people around also grew solemn; now even kerosene is running low.

The only fortunate thing is that, whether fuel or food, Lincheng's reserves are abundantly stocked, so even without heating and electricity, they can still last quite a while.

Near the Lincheng municipal building, all was dark, but in the central council hall a faint glow flickered, the weak candlelight barely illuminating the surroundings.

A dozen or so city officials, wrapped in blankets, were warming themselves by a few kerosene lamps, discussing with chattering teeth.

"If this continues, the situation will probably not be good; adults may be fine, but the elderly, weak, and children may not be able to hold on."

The person in charge of Lincheng is a middle-aged man about forty years old, named Li Xun; he wore a blanket, looked at the information in his handheld device, his expression full of solemnity and gravity, he rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and said.

"How much fuel and food reserves do we have left in Lincheng? How many days can they last?"

One official's face showed difficulty.

"Leader, our food reserves in Lincheng are still quite ample, but the fuel and fuel reserves are not much left."

"This blizzard came suddenly; according to feedback from the Capital's relevant departments, this blizzard mass above Lincheng arrived too suddenly."

"When the ice and snow fell, not only were the power cables frozen and cracked, but even the underground heating and fuel transport pipes also froze and cracked."

One piece of bad news after another came out of his mouth, making the already difficult situation even worse.

Upon hearing his report, the others' faces turned extremely grim.

"Our remaining fuel is too little; if distributed, it can at most support people's use for three or four days."

In the cold room, everyone hearing this felt their hearts gradually sink to the bottom.

At minus 60 degrees extreme cold, for some physically strong people, perhaps there is no harm, after all they have cultivated and can withstand it.

But for those who cultivate slowly, children, the elderly, etc., the minus 60 degrees extreme cold is practically pushing them toward death every second.

"Three or four days? That's too little; there's no time to repair all this, and the damaged areas are so many, we don't have enough manpower."

Those beside him sighed heavily, "Even if it's three or four days, that's what we've saved, already at the limit; the actual situation may be worse than we imagine."

"We must think of a way, want to repair all this, about a week or so; how should we spend the time after that?"

The atmosphere fell into a long silence; everyone looked grave, brows furrowed, painstakingly thinking of what other measures there might be.

Finally, Li Xun was the first to break the silence: "Wasn't elixir distributed before? Why not try this elixir?"

Hearing this, many people were stunned for a moment, their expressions somewhat doubtful: "Leader, is this elixir really useful?"

As for the elixir handed down from above, everyone has actually heard of it; this thing is said to be miraculous, coming from the Longyuan Mountain Range.

But regarding the specific effects after taking the elixir, what exactly they are, they have no idea, because this thing is strictly controlled, and hardly anyone has ever used it.

In every city, there are dedicated personnel controlling the elixir; even they don't know what its effects are, making it extremely mysterious.

Only after the superior issued the announcement yesterday did they receive a few elixirs in hand, and each of these elixirs has been recorded on file,

but as to how effective it really is, many of Lincheng's officials still feel uneasy in their hearts: "Is this thing really useful?"

"Whether it works or not, let's try it first; the superior would definitely not issue this notice for no reason."

"Now we really have no other options."

Everyone was discussing animatedly; only seeing the mayor take out a small box, the other officials immediately stretched their necks to lean over, casting curious glances.

Although they had heard of this elixir before, due to the strict control they had never seen it.

"Such a small thing, yet the control is quite strict."

"Such a tiny thing, can it work?"

"I'm a bit doubtful."

Countless leaders looked at the tiny box before them, inevitably falling into doubt; even the Lincheng mayor felt a bit down.

"Such a tiny thing, does it really work?"

While thinking about it, he carefully opened the box lid, and a faint fragrance immediately wafted over.

A pill the size of an index finger appeared in everyone's sight; it was entirely dark black, looking ordinary and unremarkable, just like a regular black pill.

Just below the black pill, several rows of small numbers were also marked, obviously the serial number of this black pill.

The many officials of Lin City immediately twitched the corners of their mouths.

They even gave it a serial number.

The mayor of Lin City twitched the corner of his mouth, had a few people set up a camera nearby—after all, he was Lin City's first person to take the elixir, so recording it was somewhat necessary; if any problems really arose later, feedback could be given.

"With a full 90 million elixirs, I really want to see what power this elixir actually has."

While muttering, the mayor of Lin City, under everyone's gaze, swallowed the small elixir; he had even braced himself for it to taste bad.

Unexpectedly, although this elixir looks unimpressive, it melts in the mouth, and within this tiny elixir lies an extremely rich medicinal fragrance.

Almost as soon as it entered his mouth, he could feel the rich medicinal fragrance spreading between his lips and tongue.

"How does it feel?"

"Is there any effect at all?"

The other officials all looked expectantly at the mayor.

After sensing for a moment, the mayor uncertainly said, "It seems... there isn't much of an effect?"

Apart from the pleasant taste and the spreading medicinal fragrance, he truly noticed nothing else; his body remained exactly as before, with no change whatsoever.

Hearing this, the people who had been full of expectation instantly saw their eyes dim a little!

They had originally thought it might actually be useful, after all the authorities placed such importance on the mysterious, controlling it so strictly that even each elixir was recorded on file; all these actions were enough to prove that this elixir was not simple.

In the end, nothing happened at all!!

Everyone's expression grew somewhat dejected; they sighed and lowered their heads, thinking about how to continue saving Lin City.

At that moment, Li Xun, who had also been somewhat disappointed, suddenly froze.

Because he felt a surge of heat mysteriously rising within his body!

This heat wave quickly swept through his whole body, as if all his blood were boiling, and it felt like a flame burning constantly in his heart.

His body, which had been shivering from the cold, now became warm to the extreme, even turning somewhat scorching, and sweat even broke out on his palms! (End of chapter)
