Chapter 393: Heavy Snow on the City

The main medicine brought by Chu Yuncheng can refine 6 furnaces of [Platinum Wisdom Pills]. The [Alchemy Room] now has enough medicinal materials to refine 4 furnaces. He spent 3816 family luck points to refine all four furnaces at night and successfully obtained 17 [Platinum Wisdom Pills].

Many core members of the Hua family have qualifications between A and A+. These 17 [Platinum Wisdom Pills] are 17 foundation-building seeds. If all the core members of the Hua family have qualifications, then the status of the Hua family in Gaoliu County can be guaranteed. Even if Hua Kai suddenly disappears one day, other members of the Hua family can ensure that the Hua family will continue in Gaoliu County.

Entering the space at night, Hua Kai told Tang Lei to let the [Undead Legion] transfer less frequently. The family needs to refine a large number of pills and cannot let them consume too much family luck.

Xiacheng has now built winter tents. The whole city is like a grassland tent, but there are more city walls here and less winter cold wind invasion. The major ranches in Beishan and the grasslands have also made all preparations for winter. In winter, they just rest well and wait for the winter snow to pass and spring to come.

After everyone met, many people had already left. Hua Kai saw that Grandpa was about to leave and called him. The two came to [Wujingzhai] where usually no one would come. He took out a stool for Grandpa to sit down.

"Grandpa, Chu Yuncheng from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce came today. He sent a lot of Lingbao-level spiritual medicines and wanted to exchange for a large number of pills and weapons, which are worth more than 10 million gold." Hua Kai said.

"So many... Are we going to fight? Does the Chu family have so much money to pay?" Hua Xing asked in surprise.

"Chu Yuncheng sent a lot of Lingbao-level herbs, as well as Tiandi Lingque and ninth-grade spiritual medicines. Many of them are rare natural treasures. Among them, there are many pills that increase willpower, which is what we need most.

Grandpa, look, this is the [Platinum Wisdom Pill] I refined in the afternoon. After taking it, your willpower can reach the Tianjiao level." Hua Kai took out a [Platinum Wisdom Pill] and said.

"Give this pill to others! Grandpa doesn't need it!" Hua Xing refused.

"This time I refined four furnaces at once, and a total of 17 pills were made. Your current aptitude is at most up to the 6th level of the Xiantian Realm. If you take this pill, you may be able to build your foundation." Hua Kai said.

The temptation of building a foundation is hard to resist. Hua Xing was willing to take one pill when he heard that there were 17 pills in total. Hua Kai watched his grandfather take it and waited quietly for his grandfather's changes.

However, this pill is not the [Quality Pill] rewarded by the main task, and the effect is not so fast. After waiting for a while, Hua Kai did not find any changes in his grandfather's will. Everything can only wait until tomorrow.

The next day, Hua Kai just went out of the house and saw his grandfather at the door of his courtyard. He saw him coming over.

Hua Kai checked his grandfather's attributes. His aptitude has been upgraded from A-level to S-level, and his strength has also been upgraded from the 2nd level of the Xiantian Realm to the 3rd level.

"Grandpa, you now have the hope of being promoted to the Foundation Building Realm. Do you feel that the effect of the elixir in your body has been used up?" Hua Kai asked.

"I took some elixirs yesterday but they didn't work at all. After I fell asleep at night, I felt that I was in the warm sun, and I felt more and more comfortable. Then I woke up. After waking up, I felt that all the spiritual energy and willpower around me were much more intimate than before. Now the elixir has run out of effect." Hua Xing said.

It seems that the effect of this elixir can only be absorbed in dreams, and it is absorbed all at once. This is very good. There is no need to absorb the effect slowly, and the qualifications can be quickly improved.

There are also disadvantages. The refined elixir always has elixir poison. The elixir poison of this [Platinum Wisdom Pill] is much greater than that of ordinary elixir. Hua Kai looked at his grandfather's face and estimated that it would be difficult to eliminate this elixir poison without a year.

Hua Kai gave his grandfather a [Clear Body Pill], and the single poison in Hua Xing's body was quickly cleared. Knowing the effect of [Platinum Wisdom Pill], Hua Kai thought about how to use the remaining 16 pills.

"The Hua family is developing too fast. I think it's best to improve our family's own strength. Your uncles, the housekeeper, Er Zhuang, Hua Yue, Wei Hong, you can trust them completely." Hua Xing said what was in his mind.

Hua Kai has paid less attention to Hua Yue and Wei Hong in recent years. Both of them are B+ qualifications. Now he still has 29 [Top Qualification Pills], which completely improves the qualifications of some old people in the Hua family.

"Okay, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Grandpa Fu, Er Zhuang, Wei Hong, Hua Yue, Hua Yu, Hua Xuan, these are nine people, and Fifth Uncle and Hua Mo can't use them. There are seven [Platinum Wisdom Pills] left. Take out six for the ten young men of the Hua family, so that they will all be Tianjiao level." Hua Kai decided to say.

The remaining [Platinum Wisdom Pill] Hua Kai wanted to wait until he upgraded himself to A level or above before giving it to his mother.

Half a month has passed since Grandpa's will was promoted to S-. Hua Kai refined various elixirs to rapidly improve the strength of the core members of the family. Xue Chen finally reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, and Hua Mo also reached the 6th level of the Innate Realm. The improvement of the qualifications of the core members of the Hua family did not attract too many people's attention.

Hua Kai summarized the effect of [Platinum Wisdom Pill]. After taking it, the A-level qualifications will definitely be promoted to S-level. After taking A+, there is a 50% chance of being promoted to S-level, and there is also a 50% chance of being promoted to S-level. Fourth uncle Hua Zihuan finally promoted to the Innate Realm, and the qualifications of the second uncle Hua Ziqi and the third uncle Hua Zijie also reached S-. Hua Xuan and Hua Yu's qualifications reached S. Among the six young men of the Hua family, 4 have reached S-level qualifications, and 2 have reached S-.

After Hua Yue took [Top Qualification Pill] and [Platinum Wisdom Pill], his willpower was upgraded from B+ to S-level, and Wei Hong was upgraded from B+ to S-. The two of them are now following their fourth uncle to help in Xiacheng.

However, Xiacheng was a little different from Huacheng at this time. Hua Zihuan was now on the wall of Xiacheng. Looking at the wild beasts gathering outside the wall, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Xiacheng was such a huge city that it was completely incomparable to the previous Huajiabao or Guangxian City. There were more and more wild beasts below the wall of more than 2,000 feet, among which there were a lot of wild beasts. Hua Zihuan roughly estimated that the ratio of wild beasts might be about 500 to 1. There were more than 300,000 wild beasts gathered under the wall.

"Fourth Master, although Xiacheng has not been built yet, most of the functions of the wall can be used. The 8,000 crossbows installed here are enough to cause a devastating blow to the wild beasts." Wei Hong came to Hua Zihuan.

"I am not afraid of these wild beasts. The key is the ratio of wild beasts and monsters. This place is very close to the Dongling Mountains. The possibility of monsters appearing is very high. We must pay attention to the monsters at any time. It will take a few days for the fifth brother to arrive." Hua Zihuan said.

The wall of such a large city is 14 meters high. It is very difficult for ordinary wild beasts or even savage beasts to attack the city. Hua Zihuan is most afraid that a monster will suddenly appear and destroy the prototype of Xiacheng, which they built a year ago.

"The Qinglong Army seems to have no way to deal with the foundation-building realm. Will the head of the family not take action personally?" Wei Hong said anxiously.

"There is Hua Mo! Although Hua Mo is only at the 6th level of the innate realm, his strength is unfathomable. He, Lao Wu, and Xue Pan can fully stop low-level monsters. The Hua family has not only Kai'er who is a foundation-building realm, but also Tang Lei, who is now as strong as the foundation-building realm, and it is not yet to the point where Kai'er needs to take action." Hua Zihuan said.

Wei Hong was shocked when he heard this. As a member of the Hua family, he did not know that the Hua family already had a foundation-building realm besides Hua Kai.

Hua Zihuan introduced some nuclear secrets of the Hua family to Wei Hong. Although Wei Hong could not enter the space, he was regarded as a core member of the family and must master some important things of the Hua family.

In the following three days, the number of wild beasts outside Xiacheng increased. The more than 10,000 Qilin Legion soldiers in the entire Xiacheng did not dare to relax every day. They paid attention to the changes of the wild beasts under the city wall. After all, the Hua family had never organized a wild beast group defense for such a large city.

More than 5,000 Qinglong Legion soldiers finally arrived, which made the people and slave soldiers of the entire Xiacheng feel relieved. The significance of the Qinglong Legion in Gaoliu City is not just as simple as the First Legion. It is the backbone of the entire Gaoliu County.

Huacheng has a total of more than 3,000 Hua family management members, more than 10,000 affiliated family members, plus more than 6,000 craftsmen hired from the Central Plains, which is 20,000 people.

In addition to more than 40,000 slaves, more than 30,000 Gaoliu County people, more than 40,000 people who migrated from the Central Plains, 10,000 Qilin Legion soldiers, and 5,000 Qinglong Legion soldiers, the entire Xiacheng now has nearly 150,000 people.

By December, the number of wild beasts outside Xiacheng exceeded one million, and the core members of the Hua family, who were originally calm, began to lose their composure.

It is only December now, and the scale of the wild beasts outside the city has reached such a level. According to past experience, the wild beasts will probably gather in early January before they start to attack the city. By then, the number of wild beasts attacking Xiacheng is likely to exceed 5 million, which is beyond everyone's imagination.

"Kai'er, maybe this location is really not suitable for building a city. Baoyuguan and Gaoliu City are both far away from the Dongling Mountains. The wolves on the grassland can consume a large number of wild beasts, so there is no pressure every winter.

And this Xiacheng is located on the northeast side of the Dongling Mountains. There is not much grassland buffer, and there are no other cities in this area. Xiacheng is too big a target. When all the wild beasts increase, they will definitely attract monsters. Should we consider giving up Xiacheng?" Hua Xing heard that everyone was talking about the defense of Xiacheng again in the evening, and couldn't help but speak.

No one thought that there would be so many wild beasts in Xiacheng in winter. They also thought about why the southern part of Gaoliu County did not build a city before, but when they really saw the dense number of wild beasts under the city wall, no one was not worried about it.

Maybe it's a good thing to give up early. If the Hua family loses too much combat power in the future because of defending Xiacheng, then it will really be a loss.

"Grandpa! Xiacheng's location is extremely special. It is not only a transit point between the entire Central Plains and the grassland, but it may also become the cultural core of the north in the future. Its significance is comparable to Huacheng.

I think the Hua family has the strength to defend Xiacheng. So many wild beasts are also a considerable resource. If we take them down, the harvest will definitely exceed our imagination.

And think about it, although the wild beasts are moving, their territories are mostly unchanged. After we kill all the wild beasts, their number will definitely decrease next year, and it will be less and less every year.

Killing wild beasts can reduce the karma of soldiers, and it is also a kind of training for the soldiers themselves. Now that there are no monsters in Xiacheng, we are thinking about giving up. If we find monsters, I will go to Xiacheng in person to drive the monsters away or find an opportunity to kill them. As long as there are no intermediate or higher monsters, we should be able to defend Xiacheng."
