Chapter 257: Alchemy Special Envoy Longyou Three Divisions
The training method of the cold-resistance level is definitely extremely harsh.

Not to mention Yu Gu, Xia Hong had experienced the strength of a high-level cold beast once in Jing Valley. It can be said that if he had not perfectly reshaped his membrane and had the power of nine manes as soon as he broke through the cold-resistant level, at that time, if he had been replaced by a slightly more ordinary cold-resistant level, it would probably not have survived.

Jade bone is the main material, so it is understandable that it is difficult to obtain. The key is that the other ten or so medicinal materials in the formula are also surprisingly difficult to obtain.

Red silver flowers usually grow in two places, either near silver mines or where a kind of rodent-like cold beasts live in groups. The rodent-like cold beasts have silver fur and flesh-colored long tails. They are very good at digging holes and are extremely fast.

Frostgrass is not difficult to find, but it usually grows near water sources.

Not to mention the Hanping Yulu. The open and secret struggles in Longyou that lasted for nearly fifty years can be largely attributed to the Hanping tree discovered by Hou Hu’s father, which shows how precious this thing is.

“Excluding the three most precious types of medicinal herbs, Red Sun Fruit, Cold Xu Grass, Double Color Liquid Spirit Fruit, Panxiang Leaf, Jade Spirit Grass, Ice Soul Liquid, Yin Yang Flower, and Linglong Fruit, none of the remaining eight kinds of medicinal herbs are given for free. Either their growing environment is extremely harsh, or they are very difficult to pick. No wonder the Cold Resistance level is the ceiling of combat power in Longyou. It is not easy to collect all these medicinal herbs…”

Xia Hong stood in the hall, looking down at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs on the table, and couldn’t help but sigh.

It was also thanks to Da Xia that he successively captured the three camps of Wu Shuang, Han Qiong and Fengchao, and happened to kill Wu Xiong, which revealed thirty drops of Hanping Yulu. Otherwise, he would not have been able to collect these eleven medicinal materials so quickly.

“All these herbs combined are only enough to make 25 kilograms of jade bones. Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli are so stingy!”

When boiling jade bone, various medicinal materials are used in specific proportions. The four most precious main herbs, jade bone, cold apple jade dew, red silver flower, and white frost grass, are used in proportions of three pounds, one drop, three plants, and three plants respectively.

Xia Hong shook his head slightly. Of course, “handsome” was just a sarcasm. Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli both broke through to the late stage of the cold-resistant level, and they must have used a lot of Yu Gu medicine. The only reason these medicinal materials were extra was probably because Han Ping Yu Lu and Yu Gu couldn’t keep up.

“Hou Hu gave me 20 kilograms of jade bones, and the extra 5 kilograms can be used now. Let’s prepare these 5 kilograms and give them to Xia Chuan and the others. Gather all the remaining herbs and take them back to Xiacheng. We’ll take them to the pharmacy for identification before we do anything else.”

Since it is a formula, it will definitely be identified by the alchemy workshop. Moreover, these eleven precious medicinal materials may be combined with other things to synthesize a new pill formula. We can’t just use them all here without thinking.

Xia Hong sorted the herbs on the ground and sorted them into different categories. He left five catties of jade bones and then spoke to the outside of the door:
“come in!”

A middle-aged man had been waiting outside the hall for a long time. Upon hearing Xia Hong’s voice, he immediately walked in slowly and bowed respectfully to the person above him.

“Liu Xian greets the leader!”

Xia Hong looked down at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: “I asked you to come from the beehive to help me make medicine. Take a look at these herbs in front of you. Are they enough?”

Liu Xian nodded respectfully, then walked to the table and carefully examined the eleven medicinal herbs on it.

Liu Xian didn’t know that this was the second time Xia Hong had seen him.

Xia Hong had seen him once before when he sneaked into the Hive Pharmacy and had a good impression of this pharmacist from the Hive Camp. This time, Wu Shuang didn’t have any suitable candidates to make the Jade Bone, so she transferred him from the Hive.

“Captain, these are more than enough, but I need 20 digging-level personnel and 35 kilograms of coal. It will probably take one night, and the medicine should be ready by dawn.”

It takes 1 kilograms of coal to cook 7 kilogram of jade bones!

When Xia Hong was peeping into the beehive, he already knew that boiling jade bones would consume a large amount of coal, but when he heard it in person, he couldn’t help but smack his lips.

35 kilograms of coal is almost the annual consumption of a medium-sized camp.

Thanks to the fact that there is no shortage of coal in the camp now, especially after the capture of the three camps in Longyou, Daxia should have a surplus of coal and iron for a long time to come.

“The staff are ready for you. The coal will be delivered soon. Take the medicine and cook it. Let me know when it’s done.”

“Thank you for your trust, Chief. I will go right away!”

Liu Xian bowed and agreed, then walked forward and carefully put away the herbs, then turned and left with a hint of excitement on his face.

This person must be a drug addict!
Xia Hong was not surprised to see Liu Xian’s reaction. When he was peeping into the beehive before, he discovered that Liu Xian’s eyes were obviously different from those of others when he looked at medicinal herbs.

In order to keep the secret, Chen Yingyuan had never given the three medicinal herbs to his subordinates before, and he added them himself every time. Today, he directly took out all the herbs and handed them to Liu Xian. It was normal for the other party to be excited.

“He is most likely a talented person, but he cannot display his talents in a closed environment like a beehive. We can assign him to Mu Dong in the future and let him go to the medicine refining workshop to see if he can bring some unexpected surprises.”

Xia Hong put away all the remaining herbs, stood up, and suddenly raised his head to look to the north, with a bright light in his eyes.

“Here we are, we got here together, pretty fast!”

After thinking for a moment, Xia Hong sat back in his seat, looked at the door calmly, and waited quietly.

Soon, Xia Chuan’s voice was heard outside the hall.

“Chief, two special envoys from Zhaoyang and Longshan request to see you.”

“Bring it in!”

Xia Hong opened his mouth slightly, and looking at the two familiar faces behind Xia Chuan, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

However, he did not speak actively, just looked at the two of them quietly.

“Li Xuandu, the special envoy of Longshan, greets Chief Xia Hong!”

“Zhaoyang Special Envoy Hou Quan, meeting with Chief Xia Hong!”

It can be seen that although the two people below were respectful, there was some obvious unnaturalness on their faces. Xia Hong couldn’t help but smile.

It was understandable. After all, it had only been a few hours since the two families conspired to kill me in Hulu Valley, and now they had to come and beg me with a flattering face. It would be inappropriate for them to have a natural expression at this moment.

But the degree of unnaturalness in their expressions varies.

Compared with Li Xuandu who had just attacked him personally, the unnatural look on Hou Quan’s face was much less. Although it was a conspiracy between the two families, the attackers were after all people from Longshan and Zhaoyang camps. The most they could do was watch and watch, and Hou Quan was not involved.

Xia Hong poured himself a glass of cold blood wine, took a sip, and motioned for the two to get up. Then he asked slowly, “You are not strangers. Get up. What are you two doing here in such a hurry?”

When the two heard the voice, they showed a trace of anxiety on their faces. Hou Quan couldn’t help but bowed first and said, “Daxia saved more than 800 people in our camp. Everyone in Zhaoyang is grateful. My leader has specially ordered me to express my gratitude to Leader Xia Hong. I specially present five pounds of jade bones. I hope Leader Xia Hong will not despise it!”

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of green jade bones from his arms, which were obviously the main bones of high-level cold beasts, and handed them to Xia Chuan in front of him.

Li Xuandu on the other side couldn’t help it at this moment. He was more direct than Hou Quan. He took out three complete jade bones from his arms, and then said in a deep voice: “Chief Xia Hong let bygones be bygones and saved more than 800 of our Longshan people. When my leader learned about it, he was very grateful and ordered me to express my gratitude to the leader. I will also present you with ten kilograms of jade bones. Please accept them!” Xia Chuan smiled and accepted the fifteen kilograms of jade bones and placed them in front of Xia Hong. He walked back to his seat with a smile on his face.

Letting those 1600 people go was a matter of the first half of the night, and the harvest came in the second half. The key is that these kilograms of jade bones are just the beginning…

“Does Longshan have a leader?”

Xia Hong had no idea what Xia Chuan was thinking, but after hearing what Li Xuandu said, he immediately asked out of curiosity.

Now that Li Tianhua is not here, Longshan should be leaderless now!
“Is it Li Tiancheng?”

“My fourth sister, Li Xuanling, has just taken over the position of leader!”

Xia Hong nodded slightly. Li Xuantian had died in Yanglu. Compared with the eldest son Li Xuanyan and Li Xuandu in front of him, Li Xuanling was the best candidate both in terms of strength and intelligence. That Li Tiancheng was not stupid enough.

“Both your families wanted to kill me. I shouldn’t have saved those 1600 people last night. But considering that Daxia was struggling to survive in Longyou just like the two families, I didn’t want to see my people being slaughtered by monsters, so I finally rescued them. This jade bone is your token of gratitude, so I would be disrespectful to refuse it!”

There is no reason to refuse the jade bones that are delivered to your door.

Zhaoyang gave 5 kilograms, but Longshan gave 10 kilograms. The meaning was very clear. In addition to thanking Xia Hong for saving more than people, it also expressed apologies for the massacre last night.

Of course, putting away the jade bones is just the first action.

Seeing Xia Hong accept the jade bone, Li Xuandu’s expression immediately relaxed a lot, and he obviously realized that Xia Hong was willing to discuss what was next.

Hou Quan was not so patient. He immediately continued, “I heard from the people who just returned to Zhaoyang that Daxia has a magical item called Fire Condensation Oil, which can cure the dew poison on those people. Chief Xia Hong cares about his fellow tribesmen and will definitely not sit idly by and watch so many people in Zhaoyang die tragically. I hope Chief Xia Hong will give us some in Zhaoyang. Everyone in Zhaoyang will be grateful!”

When Xia Hong heard Hou Quan’s compliment to him, a strange look appeared on his face.

“To be honest with you, Chief Xia Hong, I was ordered to come here for the fire-condensing oil. I, Longshan, don’t have such extravagant hopes as Zhaoyang. Since you released those people, you must have some other intentions. As long as you are willing to sell us some of the fire-condensing oil, we will buy whatever you want as long as Longshan has it!”

Compared with Hou Quan, Li Xuan was much more direct. Not only did he tell Xia Hong about his intention to let those 1600 people go, he even took the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​a transaction.

This saves a lot of trouble.

Even Hou Quan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and added directly: “Zhaoyang also thinks so, and only hopes that Daxia can sell a part of it to us.”

Hearing the two people’s request, both of them just wanted Da Xia to sell some fire-condensing oil to them, Xia Hong couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Those more than 1600 people must have brought back the news about the fire-condensing oil.

In other words, after hearing about the fire-condensing oil, Li Xuanling and Hou Hu both agreed that this thing was very important and there must not be much of it in Daxia.

But the problem is that Daxia has a lot of fire-condensing oil, not just an ordinary amount.

Moreover, the raw material for the production of fire-condensing oil is only wood, which means that as long as there is a continuous supply of wood, fire-condensing oil can be produced continuously.

The production cost is so low, but it can be used to deal with the most threatening and bizarre creatures in the ice world that pose the greatest threat to humans.

Fire-condensing oil is truly a magical item!
It’s not an ordinary divine object.

Xia Hong had actually realized the preciousness of the fire-condensing oil earlier, but only at this moment did he truly realize how precious this thing was.

He seemed to be able to foresee that fire-condensing oil would play a huge role in Daxia’s foreign trade in the future!
Xia Hong temporarily suppressed the heat in his heart, then looked at the two people below, smiled and said: “To be honest, if we only sell part of it to the two families, it won’t be a big deal for Daxia.

But the problem is, both of your two families are too hostile to our Great Xia. If I save you now, and if both of your two families attack our Great Xia again in the future, wouldn’t I be aiding the enemy?

To be honest, I now regret saving those 1600 people last night. If these people go to the battlefield and kill people in our camp, I will become a sinner of Daxia… “

Li Xuandu and Hou Quan should have been briefed before they came. After hearing what Xia Hong said, there was no surprise on their faces. They just lowered their heads and thought for a moment, then quickly took out a document from their pockets.

“Don’t worry, Chief Xia Hong. From today on, the spheres of influence of the three original camps, Wu Shuang, Feng Chao, and Han Qiong, all belong to Da Xia. Longshan is willing to sign a good neighbor treaty with Da Xia. From now on, the two families will be friendly countries and will not invade each other. This document was written by my chief himself. As long as Chief Xia Hong agrees to sign it, Da Xia will be a member of Longyou in the future. Longshan will never say no.”

“The same is true for Zhaoyang. We also recognize Daxia as a member of Longyou, and are willing to sign a good neighbor treaty with Daxia. This is written by our leader himself, please review it, Leader Xia Hong!”

Xia Chuan took the documents from the two men, glanced at them, and immediately placed both documents on Xia Hong’s desk.

Looking at the two documents on the table, Xia Hong’s eyes showed a gleam of sharpness at this moment. After reading the contents of the documents, he looked up at Li Xuandu and Hou Quan, and his face instantly became much more satisfied.

These are the two documents he was waiting for!

Of course, the paperwork is just a formality.

What he really cared about was Li Xuanling and Hou Hu, or in other words, the Longshan and Zhaoyang families’ recognition of Daxia’s official entry into Longyou!

From the moment Li Xuanling and Hou Hu submitted the documents to his desk, the three-way confrontation in Longyou was completely established.

Of course, the struggle will continue in the future, but for now it can be regarded as a phased victory for Daxia.

Xia Hong was so excited that he waved his hand and said, “Okay, since both leaders are so generous, I won’t say much. Xia Chuan, take the two envoys down to discuss the details of the fire-condensing oil transaction. I will not interfere in this matter anymore. Just go ahead and do it!”

“Yes, leader!”

Xia Chuan bowed, his face extremely excited.

He was about to turn around and call the two people below, but he didn’t expect that they were more anxious than him and spoke first.

“Lord Xia Chuan, please hurry up. The people in our base are waiting for the fire oil to save their lives. If you delay any longer, more people will die.”

“Please, Master Xiachuan, please be quick.”

“Okay, okay. To be honest with you two special envoys, this fire-condensing oil is an extremely precious item in our Great Xia. If it weren’t for the monsters causing trouble, we wouldn’t give it out to anyone. Since both families are so anxious, let’s go to the side hall to discuss the price so that we can quickly bring it back to you to save people.”

Xia Chuan pulled the two of them and walked quickly to the side hall, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was thinking about how to exploit the two families.
