Besides you, who are the other eighteen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xinfan had already noticed Xia Hong’s confusion; after hearing the question, he paused briefly before answering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two years ago, on the ninth day of the twelfth month of Da Xia’s tenth year, the Chief Secretary and Yuwen the Secretary both broke through first; four months later, in early April of Da Xia’s eleventh year, Yuan Cheng broke through; in June, Deputy Chief Secretary Xu Ning and Dongling Garrison Commander Lu Yang broke through…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan and Yuwen Tao’s breakthroughs did not surprise Xia Hong—he had anticipated them before coming to Cai Qiu; as for Yuan Cheng, Xu Ning, and Lu Yang, their breakthroughs were likely due to the Master’s organ enhancements—these three probably gained benefits extending beyond merely reaching Manifest Yang; remembering that the barrier to breaking through the Soul-Purification realm lies in the five viscera, Xia Hong’s face subtly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made five already; thirteen remained—he listened as Jiang Xinfan continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Originally, this should have ended, as the Supply Department’s stock of Sheng Yang Pills had been entirely exhausted; but afterward, Lady gave six more, and the Chief Secretary and Yuwen the Secretary each contributed two; Qiu Peng, the Supply Department Chief, Yue Feng, Garrison Commander of Longshan, and Xiang Wentian, owner of Wanbao Tower, used these ten pills to break through in succession during September and October last year…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Peng, Yue Feng, Xiang Wentian—three more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Wentian—Xia Hong had a faint memory of him; he was the most talented grandson of Xiang Fuhai, crippled by Yang Fa during the fall of Ba Shang, later restored by the Holy Vein Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of Wanbao Tower was originally held by Qiu Peng as Chief of the Supply Department; it seems the position has now been handed to Xiang Wentian. Thinking of this, Xia Hong asked curiously: “Now that Xiang Wentian is owner of Wanbao Tower, what of Xiang Fuhai?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief of the Prison Department!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jiang Xinfan’s answer, Xia Hong’s heart jolted; he immediately asked with a questioning tone: “Li Lao…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Former Chief of the Prison Department, Li Tiancheng, passed away on the eighth day of the fourth month last year; the Chief Secretary posthumously granted him the title of Fourth-Rank Jade Heng Marquis; Lady personally oversaw Li Lao’s funeral according to Xia rites; his title has been inherited by his nephew’s son, Li Hu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Tiancheng—indeed, he had not survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan Ling must be heartbroken over the loss of a close relative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong sighed softly; Li Tiancheng’s death was predictable—he had sensed it before coming to Cai Qiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xinfan noticed the melancholy on Xia Hong’s face and sighed as well: “Li Lao’s age was his undoing; had he been just three or four years younger, had his blood and qi not yet entered decline, he might have had a chance to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I later heard that Li Lao, selfless to the end, knowing he had no chance to break through, never used the six Sheng Yang Pills Lady gave him; only at his final moments did he reveal the truth. All who learned of this were moved—especially Qiu Peng, Yue Feng, and Xiang Wentian, who personally carried his coffin and mourned him as sons; his funeral was so grand, not only unprecedented in Da Xia, but unmatched even across the Nine Garrisons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Tiancheng deserved this honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong nodded; from the fall of Longshan until his death, Li Tiancheng had spent only eight years in Da Xia, yet nearly all of its current judicial codes—including the very last department established, the Prison Department—were built upon his foundations; his contributions to Da Xia were immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After Xiang Wentian’s breakthrough, the Supply Department’s Sheng Yang Pills were completely gone; although Chief Cheng still had four Tian Yang fruits, the auxiliary ingredients for refining Sheng Yang Pills remained unfindable; reluctantly, in November last year, Lady, the Chief Secretary, and Yuwen the Secretary led all Manifest Yang cultivators deep into the Mo’ao Mountains—to search for medicinal herbs and Tian Yang fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed heaven favored them: Lady, the Chief Secretary, and the others indeed discovered two new Tian Yang branches, yielding fourteen Tian Yang fruits, along with all the necessary auxiliary ingredients; Chief Cheng refined eighteen batches, producing fifty-four Sheng Yang Pills—suddenly, the Supply Department’s stock surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten who broke through afterward were Luo Yuan, Lin Kai, Zhao Long, Liu Yuan, Hou Jing, Xiang Tianyang, Mu Qinghe, Mu Qingyu, Murong Ping, and Murong Yuan; the last one is me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan, Yuwen Tao, Yuan Cheng, Xu Ning, Lu Yang, Qiu Peng, Yue Feng, Xiang Wentian, Luo Yuan, Lin Kai, Zhao Long, Liu Yuan, Hou Jing, Xiang Tianyang, Mu Qinghe, Mu Qingyu, Murong Ping, Murong Yuan, Jiang Xinfan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The list of nineteen newly broken-through Manifest Yang cultivators was now complete in Xia Hong’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the key is still the Sheng Yang Pills—Li Xuan Ling and Xia Chuan and the others have given me such a wonderful surprise, excellent, excellent…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are the nineteen newly broken-through; adding Li Xuan Ling, Xiang Fuhai, Mu Longhe, and Murong the Sinking—four more—and himself as Lord, Da Xia now has twenty-four Manifest Yang cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Fanzhen, it’s nothing—but across the entire Nine Garrisons, it is a crushing, overwhelming superiority; the other eight Garrisons—no, now only five remain—combined, they cannot match Da Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means that, as long as no Fanzhen interferes, Da Xia can unify the entire Southern Slope region without any special tactics—simply with these twenty-four Manifest Yang cultivators, it can be done effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1425,"2026-06-19T20:30:17.581Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b5d9345f3e13a5dc5b760ce2589576851693d533eded69ea8f09e7eb90aeb0c9","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-474","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-472",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-cover.jpg"]
