377: Chapter 377 Each Person's Gains

Lou Xiaoxing turned to look at Tian Zhenzhen, "What's wrong with her? Isn't she just disregarding her own life?"

Yin Wenzheng shook his head, "You don't understand, Sister Zhen's situation is quite complex."

Seeing that Yin Wenzheng wasn't going to elaborate, Lou Xiaoxing didn't ask anything further.

He placed his hand on the door.

A moment later.

The door opened.

Lou Xiaoxing walked inside.

Yin Wenzheng began to silently time him, wanting to know Lou Xiaoxing's strength.

Who would have thought.

In just half a minute.

Lou Xiaoxing emerged, dragging a Nirvana Warrior.

"Don't even mention it."

"This thing is quite heavy."

He dragged the Nirvana Warrior to the side of the instrument. After the instrument scanned it, a door opened at the bottom, and a huge mechanical arm extended, grabbed the Nirvana Warrior, and pulled it into the instrument to begin refining.

Yin Wenzheng was deeply bewildered seeing Lou Xiaoxing kill a Nirvana Warrior in less than half a minute. He had fought against Nirvana Warriors before and knew the power of a Third-Class Nirvana Warrior.

However.

A Third-Class Nirvana Warrior was no match for Xiao Weiqing, and even Lou Xiaoxing killed one with ease.

He couldn't understand why, despite being at the Peak of the Seventh Realm, their strength disparity was so vast.

Lou Xiaoxing found Yin Wenzheng's expression somewhat amusing.

"What, feeling defeated?"

Yin Wenzheng sighed and nodded slightly. Facing Xiao Weiqing and Lou Xiaoxing, it was false to say he wasn't defeated.

Their strengths were not on the same level.

Not just him, but none of the others who entered the No. 9 Civilization Ruins this time could compare to Lou Xiaoxing, let alone Xiao Weiqing.

No wonder.

The Vermilion Bird Empire was willing to give 20% of the profits directly to Great Xia for free. Yin Wenzheng believed that this time, the Empire would only profit, not lose.

Crack~~

Tian Zhenzhen's room opened.

Tian Zhenzhen walked out wearing only a white tank top and shorts, her fiery figure fully exposed. Her hair was wet, and water droplets hadn't been wiped off her body, clearly indicating she had just showered.

Her alluring figure made Lou Xiaoxing's eyes light up, and he quickly approached her.

"Zhenzhen, have you just showered?"

"How's the water temperature?"

Lou Xiaoxing was clearly just trying to make conversation.

Yin Wenzheng: "..."

Tian Zhenzhen ignored Lou Xiaoxing and walked to the instrument, looking at the Nirvana Warrior body she had put in earlier.

Unexpectedly.

She looked up and saw a complete Nirvana Warrior suspended inside the instrument's cylinder. She recognized this Nirvana Warrior because she had seen it before.

Tian Zhenzhen suppressed her shock, her lips slightly moving as she asked, "You killed it?"

Lou Xiaoxing casually said, "Otherwise, who?"

This seemingly casual remark sent a tumultuous wave through Tian Zhenzhen's heart. She hadn't expected Lou Xiaoxing to possess such strength; he hadn't been boasting before, but truly had the confidence.

"How long did it take?"

"Probably less than a minute, I didn't pay specific attention," Lou Xiaoxing thought for a moment and said.

Tian Zhenzhen looked at Yin Wenzheng, who nodded slightly, indicating that Lou Xiaoxing was not lying.

Ding~~

Just then.

The instrument let out a notification sound.

Thump~ Thump~ Bang~~

The sound of an object rolling.

Through the glass door, the three could see that the Tier 2 Nirvana Warrior body Xiao Weiqing had put in had been refined, turning into a dark red stone the size of a ping-pong ball.

Lou Xiaoxing reached out and took it.

"So heavy?"

Lou Xiaoxing exclaimed in surprise. He weighed it in his hand; this small nirvana stone was half a ton.

He casually tossed the nirvana stone to Yin Wenzheng.

Yin Wenzheng was startled by Lou Xiaoxing's action and fumbled to catch it.

"Haha... what are you doing? No need to be so nervous."

Yin Wenzheng retorted irritably, "If I break it, I can't afford to pay for it."

This was the truth. With his strength, killing a Tier 2 Nirvana Warrior without entering the Eighth Realm was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Even killing a Third-Class Nirvana Warrior would require luck. The instrument had a chance to refine a Third-Class Nirvana Warrior into a second-grade nirvana stone.

However.

The probability was extremely low.

Even if successful, it probably wouldn't be very big, likely smaller than the ping-pong ball size in his hand.

Yin Wenzheng played with the second-grade nirvana stone for a bit, then handed it to Tian Zhenzhen.

Tian Zhenzhen took the second-grade nirvana stone.

Compared to the others who entered the No. 9 Civilization Ruins this time, she yearned more for nirvana stones, and the higher the grade, the more she desired them.

Once out of the Ruins.

There wouldn't be many opportunities to easily obtain treasures for Constructing a Divine Body, unless she went to the No. 9 Civilization Ruins that was open year-round, but with her strength, going there would be no different from seeking death.

Even though she greatly desired the second-grade nirvana stone, Tian Zhenzhen knew it didn't belong to her.

Reluctantly, she returned the second-grade nirvana stone to Lou Xiaoxing.

Lou Xiaoxing smiled, "Do you want it?"

?

Tian Zhenzhen looked at Lou Xiaoxing in confusion.

"Do you want it?"

Lou Xiaoxing asked again, handing the second-grade nirvana stone back to Tian Zhenzhen.

Upon hearing this.

Tian Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat, almost stopping.

"This is Xiao Weiqing's."

Lou Xiaoxing laughed, "His is mine. Besides, I'm confident I can kill a Tier 2 Nirvana Warrior. At worst, I'll just return it to him tomorrow."

Actually, what Yin Wenzheng and Tian Zhenzhen didn't know was that Great Xia sent Lou Xiaoxing to follow Xiao Weiqing with the intention of having Xiao Weiqing help Lou Xiaoxing.

Lou Xiaoxing was the first person in Great Xia, besides Xiao Weiqing, to independently cultivate a Divine Soul. By some calculations, Lou Xiaoxing might have cultivated his Divine Soul even earlier than Xiao Weiqing.

Like Xiao Weiqing.

Lou Xiaoxing had a clean background; his ancestors awakened only ordinary Extraordinary Talents. It wasn't until Lou Xiaoxing that he awakened a Level 6 Artifact and possessed a companion weapon.

As for how he cultivated his Divine Soul, Lou Xiaoxing didn't say, and the Great Xia officials wouldn't force him.

After his Second Awakening, he displayed strength far exceeding ordinary people, and Great Xia even sent two Eighth Realm experts to protect him.

Lou Xiaoxing knew the Great Xia higher-ups' intention: for him to follow Xiao Weiqing and become his right-hand man in the future.

Regarding this.

Lou Xiaoxing had no objections. If Xiao Weiqing was strong, then he would listen to Xiao Weiqing.

He was very clear about his position.

This was also due to his personality; Lou Xiaoxing's strength and talent were top-notch, and he had no particular ambitions. Aside from being a bit lecherous, he had no obvious flaws.

Xiao Weiqing, of course, also knew Great Xia's intentions and had no objections.

The thirteen deities of the Yao Race always hung over Blue Star like a Sword of Damocles; he couldn't do it alone.

"No, I can't take it."

Tian Zhenzhen thought for a moment and still suppressed the impulse in her heart, pushing back the second-grade nirvana stone Lou Xiaoxing offered her.

"Ding~~"

With another soft sound, the nirvana stone Tian Zhenzhen had previously put into the instrument for refinement was completed.

Tian Zhenzhen took it and returned to her room without lingering.

Lou Xiaoxing looked at his hand, a silly grin on his face.

Yin Wenzheng was utterly confused.

"What are you looking at?"

"Zhenzhen just actively touched my hand for 1.32 seconds."

...

Yin Wenzheng was speechless. With such strength, how could his mind be a bit off? It seemed this world was still fair.
