369: Chapter 369 Discussion

"Should?"

Xiao Weiqing asked, "Haven't you figured it out all these years?"

Palace Master Yun Shu shook her head, "Because of my special Physique, I inherited the Extreme Yin Divine Fire from my elders. It's uncertain whether that volcano has the Extreme Yang Divine Fire; no one has ever reached it."

"If it does, do you want me to seize that Extreme Yang Divine Fire?"

"You can try, but the Extreme Yang Divine Fire isn't for me. No one knows what would happen if Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin were simultaneously in the body."

"This is different from how I absorb your flame energy."

"However, if you obtain the Extreme Yang Divine Fire, perhaps you can help me completely solve my physical problems."

Xiao Weiqing voiced his concern, "But even if I obtain the Extreme Yang Divine Fire, I don't even have a Divine Body, so I wouldn't be able to withstand the divine fire, right?"

He was afraid that the Samadhi True Fire and the Extreme Yang Divine Fire were too far apart in Rank, and he would end up losing more than he gained.

Xiao Weiqing was now diligently Constructing a Divine Body, Cultivating step by step, and he would eventually Breakthrough to the Ninth Realm, or even the Star Lord Realm.

"That's why I'm asking you to try."

"If it's not feasible, then try to obtain a first-grade nirvana stone."

"Although upgrading a Divine Body takes a long time, it is still a method."

Palace Master Yun Shu was truly tormented by the Extreme Yin Divine Fire. This full moon night was the most comfortable full moon night she had experienced in ten years.

Xiao Weiqing nodded.

"I'll consider it. Tonight's events happened a bit suddenly, catching me off guard. I need to go back and think about it carefully."

Seeing this.

Though Palace Master Yun Shu was unwilling, she knew she couldn't push Xiao Weiqing too hard.

"Alright, go back and think it over carefully."

...

...

Xiao Weiqing returned to his residence with a troubled expression.

"Brother, Brother Qing, teach me!!"

Lou Xiaoxing came up, looking admiringly at him.

"Huh?"

Xiao Weiqing was puzzled by Lou Xiaoxing.

"You're feigning ignorance, aren't you? You even managed to win over the Palace Master Yun Shu herself."

"What?"

Xiao Weiqing glanced at Lou Xiaoxing, realizing he had misunderstood again, and explained:

"Palace Master Yun Shu and I are fine; it was just an accidental encounter."

Lou Xiaoxing nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand, everything is an accident, everything is fate's arrangement."

Xiao Weiqing was too lazy to explain, glared at Lou Xiaoxing, and returned to his room.

He lay on the bed, not sleeping, contemplating what Palace Master Yun Shu had said today and planning his next actions. Constructing a Divine Body was a must, at least second-grade, preferably first-grade.

As for the divine fire Palace Master Yun Shu mentioned.

Xiao Weiqing thought he could go and see. The divine fire in Palace Master Yun Shu's body seemed to be of a higher Rank, possibly even higher than his Samadhi True Fire.

Then, correspondingly.

If the Extreme Yang Divine Fire truly existed in the other volcano, it wouldn't be bad at all, and it might be helpful for his Extraordinary Talent.

Originally.

When he was on Azure Dragon Island, before Xiao Weiqing's Awakening, his Extraordinary Talent was already Rank 9. After his Second Awakening, the Rank did not increase at all, which shouldn't have been the case.

Based on experience, Xiao Weiqing's speed in breaking through barriers was extremely fast, and he absorbed a great deal of divine charm substance. His Extraordinary Talent should have upgraded. Thinking about it now, it must have been that Azure Dragon Divine Envoy who tampered with him.

This gave Xiao Weiqing another reason to kill the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

...

The next morning.

The Vermilion Bird Empire officially summoned Xiao Weiqing and Lou Xiaoxing to discuss the details of entering No. 9 Civilization Ruins.

In a formal conference room.

Xiao Weiqing met the other participants for this Civilization Ruins trip. They were mostly the same people from last night's banquet, with only two he hadn't seen before: one man and one woman.

The man was named Dong Jin, and the woman was Tian Zhenzhen.

Including Xiao Weiqing and Lou Xiaoxing, there were a total of 10 people.

Except for Xiao Weiqing, the other 9 people were all at the Peak of the Seventh Realm, ready to Construct a Divine Body at any time.

They had delayed until now precisely for this opportunity.

As for Xiao Weiqing, since returning to Blue Star from the Demon Realm.

Even though he Cultivated with divine charm treasure every day, his physical strength was still a bit short. By his estimation, it would take another month for his body to reach saturation.

Inside the conference room.

At a huge conference table.

Palace Master Yun Shu sat in the main seat, but she seemed uninterested at the moment, clearly not keen on these matters.

Below her was Yin Zong, and opposite Yin Zong was the Ruan Family representative, a general named Ruan Zhen, who was the marshal of the Vermilion Bird Army.

The Vermilion Bird Army was an elite force on par with the Great Xia Demon Suppressing Army, which shows the Ruan Family's status in the Vermilion Bird Empire.

Yin Linna once said that in the Vermilion Bird Empire, the Yin Family and the Ruan Family, one political and one military, had immense power, and it seemed her words were true.

Yin Zong looked around and said, "You've all read the materials, right? For this trip into No. 9 Civilization Ruins, does anyone here have any questions?"

Xiao Weiqing put down the few sheets of paper in his hand. He had no objections to this.

He would help obtain nirvana stones within the Ruins.

Afterward, Great Xia would receive 20% of the nirvana stones brought out.

As for Lou Xiaoxing, he occupied a spot. His main purpose in entering the Ruins was to Construct a Divine Body. Any nirvana stones he obtained could only be used within the Ruins, and all nirvana stones brought out would belong to the Vermilion Bird Empire.

It seemed like unpaid labor, but it wasn't. If Great Xia and the Vermilion Bird Empire weren't on good terms, Lou Xiaoxing wouldn't have even gotten this spot.

At this moment.

A man raised his hand.

"Chen Shao, do you have any opinions?"

The Chen Family, in the Vermilion Bird Empire, was not weak in overall strength, belonging to the tail end of the second tier of families.

The first tier consisted of the Yin Family and the Ruan Family, with the Imperial Clan Yun not being part of the discussion.

"Minister Yin, I wouldn't dare to have an opinion, I just want to ask."

"Is the nirvana stone distribution share written here somewhat incorrect? When I came, my father said that our families would receive 20% of the total harvest."

"But."

"Now it says here that 20% of the total harvest will be deducted first, and then distributed among us."

This simple calculation was clear to everyone; it amounted to a reduction of 0.4%.

The eight families together wouldn't get much to begin with, and now it was even less, which Chen Shao was unwilling to accept. In fact, not just the Chen Family, but several other families also had opinions, except for the Yin Family and the Ruan Family, because they knew they wouldn't lose out this time.

Of course.

There were also those who were indifferent, such as Palace Master Yun Shu in the main seat, who had been expressionless since sitting down, only occasionally glancing at Xiao Weiqing.

She had no interest in these disputes over nirvana stone distribution.

Or rather.

She had no interest in any issues discussed in this conference room.

During Palace Master Yun Shu's ten years in power, her most significant achievement was turning the position of Palace Master Yun Shu into a mere mascot.

Two other people also held an indifferent attitude.

Dong Jin and Tian Zhenzhen were not from major families; they were commoners, established by the Empire as external role models. Their entry into No. 9 Civilization Ruins this time was because the Empire needed them to enter.

Like Lou Xiaoxing, they were there to Construct a Divine Body within No. 9 Civilization Ruins, and they wouldn't get a single nirvana stone that was brought out.

Yin Zong glanced at Chen Shao and said:

"Because we have reached a cooperation with Xiao Weiqing of the Great Xia Kingdom, after entering No. 9 Civilization Ruins, he will help seize nirvana stones, and afterward, Xiao Weiqing will receive 20% of the profits."

"What?!"

"Minister Yin, are you not joking?"

Chen Shao exclaimed in shock. Not just Chen Shao, but other families in the conference room also started discussing animatedly.
