Chapter 416: Chapter 198: Clearing Meridians, Breakthrough Imminent (Part 4)

But as he instructed Yuwen Dao to start using Beast Blood directly in the grand hall and repeated what he did to Xia Chuan yesterday in front of everyone, the crowd’s pupils immediately dilated in shock, and their expressions became instantly excited.

As for the person involved, Yuwen Dao, he was even more astonished.

His original dosage of Beast Blood had been at most twelve pounds, but after Xia Hong tapped various points on him dozens of times, the pain reduced instantly, and Xia Hong even added another two pounds on the spot.

Yuwen Dao woke up from the pain, feeling the explosive increase in his Basic Strength and the leap in the progression of his skin absorption, his eyes filled with excitement. Looking back at Xia Hong, who was sweating profusely and somewhat exhausted, Yuwen Dao felt moved, pondered for a moment, and then directly knelt before him.

“I am eternally grateful to the leader for renewing my life!”

“Get up, it was just a small effort!”

What Xia Hong said was understated, but the fatigue on his face fully revealed that such an enhancement was no trivial matter for him.

“You have a small group now, take turns coming every other day during this period.”

Upon hearing Xia Hong’s words, the remaining people present became excited.

The ability of the skin to absorb Beast Blood being enhanced meant that the future breakthrough in Cold Resistance Level would also significantly improve Basic Strength, something everyone understood clearly.

Xia Hong was willing to make time to help all of them experience this, just as Yuwen Dao mentioned, it was truly a life-renewing benevolence.

The eighteen people present looked at Yuwen Dao in front, exchanged glances for a moment, and then simultaneously knelt before Xia Hong, speaking in a respectful and unified voice:

“Thank the leader!”

“No need to thank me, in the coming months, there will be no shortage of Beast Blood. Focus on your cultivation and break through to the Cold Resistance Level as soon as possible, you are dismissed!”

“Yes, sir!”

They bowed in response, but when they looked up, they realized that Xia Hong’s golden chair was already empty.

“Minister, what does the leader mean by saying there will be no shortage of Beast Blood?”

After exchanging glances, Yuan Cheng couldn’t help but ask Xia Chuan what Xia Hong’s remark meant.

Xia Chuan turned back to look at everyone, recalling Xia Hong’s words from a few days ago, showing a trace of self-reproach on his face, he spoke slowly and with a heavy tone:

“The leader will be going out soon, but as for us…”

Upon learning that Xia Hong had sacrificed his own cultivation time and even planned to personally go out hunting just to help them break through, everyone in the grand hall, including Yuwen Dao, showed a hint of shame and self-blame.

“Therefore, we must cherish every moment of cultivation time in the future and accelerate our breakthrough to the Cold Resistance Level without delaying the leader’s cultivation!”

Although everyone remained silent, the determined expressions on their faces spoke for themselves.

…

Xia Hong was naturally unaware of what was happening in the grand hall.

He had already taken that piece of Jade Bone to the Alchemy Workshop.

“Greetings, leader!”

Cheng Feng wasn’t present, but the Alchemy Workshop was still manned as usual. Upon seeing Xia Hong enter, everyone stopped what they were doing and paid their respects.

Xia Hong lightly waved his hand, signaling everyone to rise, then walked alone to the giant medicinal cauldron in the center of the Alchemy Workshop and placed the Jade Bone into it.

[High-level Beast Bone, Identification cost: 2000 points of coal stone]

Seeing this astonishing identification cost, Xia Hong was slightly surprised.

2000 units of coal stone, which converts to 40,000 pounds.

This was undoubtedly the most expensive item ever identified in the Alchemy Workshop.

Despite his shock, Xia Hong couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.

2000 points of coal stone were nothing for Xia Hong now. After consuming various resources within the system, he quietly watched the cauldron, waiting for it to provide the identification results.

As the cauldron emitted a glow, lines began to gradually appear on its surface…
