381: Chapter 381 The Mad Tian Zhenzhen

Before long, Lou Xiaoxing walked out again and went to the front of Xiao Weiqing's room door.

"Knock, knock."

Hearing the knocking, Xiao Weiqing stopped his Cultivate and walked out.

"What is it?"

"The first-grade nirvana stone has been refined. I want to use it right away, so I wanted to ask you for a favor and have you watch over me." After Lou Xiaoxing finished speaking, he gave a look, glancing toward Yin Wenzheng and Tian Zhenzhen's room.

Lou Xiaoxing was quite cautious. One must always be on guard; being in a foreign land, one could never be too careful.

"Then, have you challenged the Second-Class Nirvana Warrior yet?"

Lou Xiaoxing shook his head, "Not yet, I was just staring at the instrument the whole time."

Xiao Weiqing said, "Constructing a Divine Body is not something that happens in a moment. You should challenge the Second-Class Nirvana Warrior first; don't waste today's attempts."

"That's true. With my strength, slaying two or three Second-Class Nirvana Warriors a day is no problem," Lou Xiaoxing said. Tomorrow, he would possess three portions of the first-grade nirvana stone.

If everything went smoothly, he would be able to activate his first-grade divine body before long.

However, he would have to obtain the subsequent resources for cultivating his divine body himself. Even if Xiao Weiqing gave them to him, he would feel embarrassed to accept them.

"Then I'm going," Lou Xiaoxing said, nodding. "I was too excited just now and forgot. Please keep this first-grade nirvana stone for me."

Lou Xiaoxing handed the black nirvana stone to Xiao Weiqing.

"It would be fine if you left it in your room."

Xiao Weiqing didn't think Yin Wenzheng and Tian Zhenzhen had the guts to dare steal their nirvana stone, unless they didn't want to leave alive.

"It's better to be safe."

Xiao Weiqing nodded and put the first-grade nirvana stone away.

...

Lou Xiaoxing walked toward the second door.

Five minutes later, Lou Xiaoxing walked out dragging the bodies of three Second-Class Nirvana Warriors, though he was also injured himself. Fortunately, it wasn't serious.

Judging by this, Lou Xiaoxing's strength was likely around that of five Second-Class Nirvana Warriors. In reality, his strength was more than that, but Lou Xiaoxing was an archer and not skilled at close combat.

The challenge arena for the Second-Class Nirvana Warriors was too small, limiting Lou Xiaoxing's strength.

If they were in the wild, Lou Xiaoxing could likely kill ten Second-Class Nirvana Warriors.

After putting the bodies of the Second-Class Nirvana Warriors into the instrument, Lou Xiaoxing didn't pay them any more mind and impatiently knocked on Xiao Weiqing's door.

"Brother, are you there?"

Xiao Weiqing opened the door and let Lou Xiaoxing enter.

"Brother, where is the first-grade nirvana stone?"

"On the table."

Seeing that Xiao Weiqing had casually placed the first-grade nirvana stone together with those divine charm treasures, Lou Xiaoxing immediately picked it up.

"You just left it here like this?"

Xiao Weiqing laughed, "What, do you expect me to put it on a pedestal?"

"That wouldn't be impossible."

"Stop spouting nonsense. Hurry up, and go back to your own room tomorrow."

Xiao Weiqing also wanted to see what it was like to use a first-grade nirvana stone for Constructing a Divine Body; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with Lou Xiaoxing.

"Alrighty."

Lou Xiaoxing didn't hesitate, sat cross-legged, and placed the first-grade nirvana stone in his palm.

There was nothing special about using the treasure for Constructing a Divine Body; it was no different from absorbing divine charm treasures, except it was much more difficult.

Just like how Xiao Weiqing could absorb hundreds of units of divine charm every day during his Cultivate, Lou Xiaoxing estimated he could absorb several dozen units.

It was just that he didn't know how long it would take to absorb one portion of this divine body treasure.

Soon, Lou Xiaoxing's Mental Energy, not weaker than the Eighth Realm, radiated out. Before long, a trace of unknown energy spilled out from the first-grade nirvana stone.

Xiao Weiqing frowned. Compared to the entire first-grade nirvana stone, this wasn't even one ten-thousandth. If he hadn't sensed it carefully, he wouldn't have noticed it.

If it continued at this speed, how long would it take to start the path of the divine body?

"Don't be anxious, this is just the beginning," Xiao Weiqing thought to himself, sitting on the bed and waiting quietly.

As Lou Xiaoxing absorbed the energy within the first-grade nirvana stone, his aura began to rise involuntarily. His whole body glowed with a hazy white light. This wasn't caused by a change in strength, but simply an emanation of his aura.

Xiao Weiqing's eyes flickered, his attention fixed on Lou Xiaoxing, not missing a single detail.

However, he didn't release his Mental Energy; this wasn't the time to probe, as he was afraid of affecting Lou Xiaoxing.

The waiting time was much longer than Xiao Weiqing had expected. Lou Xiaoxing maintained this state for over three hours.

"Hoo~" Lou Xiaoxing opened his eyes. His face was weary, and his spirit was listless—signs of excessive consumption of Mental Energy. However, his eyes were bright and spirited, and he was very excited.

He clenched his fist, seemingly feeling the changes in himself.

"How do you feel?"

Hearing Xiao Weiqing's question, Lou Xiaoxing replied, "I feel like something is different, but I can't say what."

"Give me the nirvana stone to look at."

"Here."

Taking the first-grade nirvana stone, Xiao Weiqing examined it carefully. "Not even one-tenth; it's about three percent."

Xiao Weiqing could tell that very little energy had been consumed from this nirvana stone.

"What do you mean 'about'? Let me tell you, before I came, I inquired around. Back then, Senior Dongfang Baichen also took two months to activate his second-grade divine body."

"This is a first-grade divine body. If I Cultivate again tonight, that will be six percent. It will only get faster from here. I believe it definitely won't take a month and a half."

Lou Xiaoxing hurriedly explained, afraid that Xiao Weiqing would think his Cultivate was too slow. He then added, "My Body Refining Cultivation Technique is only level 5. If it were level 6, it could be even faster."

"I know. I didn't say anything, no need to explain. Two portions of the first-grade nirvana stone will be given to you tomorrow," Xiao Weiqing chuckled.

Hearing this, Lou Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'm going."

"Mm."

Just as Xiao Weiqing opened the door, he heard a cry of alarm from outside. It was Yin Wenzheng's voice. "Tian Zhenzhen, are you okay!"

Lou Xiaoxing hurriedly walked out, and Xiao Weiqing followed.

They saw Tian Zhenzhen at the entrance of the second door, her face deathly pale, lying in a pool of blood. There was a fist-sized puncture wound on her left abdomen, and her left arm was twisted in the opposite direction.

But even so, Tian Zhenzhen was gripping a body tightly in her right hand—it was the body of a Third-Class Nirvana Warrior. Tian Zhenzhen had already passed out.

Yin Wenzheng wanted to remove the Nirvana Warrior's arm, but Tian Zhenzhen's five fingers were clamped onto it tightly. No matter how hard Yin Wenzheng tried, he couldn't get it off.

"Damn it!" "Is she trying to get herself killed?" Lou Xiaoxing stepped forward and, together with Yin Wenzheng, pried Tian Zhenzhen's fingers open one by one.

Then, Lou Xiaoxing took out a Medicinal Pill and stuffed it into Tian Zhenzhen's mouth. Once the Medicinal Pill entered her abdomen, it immediately took effect. The bleeding from Tian Zhenzhen's wound stopped, and her face gained a hint of color.

After doing all this, Lou Xiaoxing asked, "Doesn't this crazy woman know what her own strength is?"

Yin Wenzheng sighed, "Sister Zhen is just like this."

"She is, after all, a person from the Vermilion Bird Empire. Don't you stop her?"

"I can't stop her." Yin Wenzheng was full of helplessness. Even though he had warned her many times, Tian Zhenzhen simply wouldn't listen to him.

Lou Xiaoxing didn't say anything more. He picked up Tian Zhenzhen and returned to the room.
