Chapter 361 Initial Cooperation Reached
Lu Youlin explained, "Civilization Ruins No. 9 are located in four countries on Earth, with two entrances for each country."
"One entrance is open year-round, while the other entrance is similar to the No. 1 Civilization Relic, opening only once every so often. However, compared to the No. 1 Civilization Relic, the opening interval is slightly longer, about 8 to 10 years, and each opening lasts for a longer period, ranging from one to three months."
"What's the difference between these two entrances?"
Yes, and it's very big.
"That entrance that's open year-round is very dangerous, extremely dangerous. The probability of someone from the Eight Realms falling into it is very high."
"As for the entrance that opens periodically, it is relatively safe, but only relatively."
"Entering the sixth realm is basically a one-way trip, and entering the eighth realm is impossible."
Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow. "So, only those at the seventh realm are allowed in?"
"Hmm." Lu Youlin nodded, then said, "Actually, this civilization relic is meant to allow people with the strength of the seventh realm to enter and build a divine body."
"Oh?"
"Minister Lu, could you elaborate?"
Xiao Weiqing immediately perked up; it was truly a case of "just when you're about to fall asleep, a pillow is provided."
"Let Minister Yin speak. The entrance that has been opened this time is in the Vermilion Bird Empire. The opening times of the entrances in the four countries of Blue Star are different, and the conditions inside are also different."
Yin Zong nodded and continued, "There are two mountains on the other side of the entrance to the Vermilion Bird Empire, a volcano and an iceberg."
The interior is fraught with danger. Between the two mountains lies a special space. Each time the entrance opens, it yields a treasure called the Nirvana Stone, which can be used to forge a divine body.
"Nirvana Stone?"
"What grade?"
"Currently, the highest level is second class, but we know there is a first class."
Xiao Weiqing asked in surprise, "What do you mean? Nirvana Stones themselves are graded?"
"good."
"Over the past century, our Vermilion Bird Empire has entered the Netherworld nine times, and obtained second-class Nirvana Stones twice. However, we have discovered something even better than second-class Nirvana Stones, which should be first-class Nirvana Stones, but we do not have the strength to seize them."
Xiao Weiqing became interested and said directly:
"Mr. Yin, are you telling me all this because you want to collaborate with me?"
Yin Zong was surprised by Xiao Weiqing's directness and nodded, saying, "That's right."
"You don't have a divine body, and your actual cultivation level is only the seventh realm, but you have combat power exceeding the eighth realm, so you couldn't be more suitable."
"Mr. Yin, what do you think is the best way to cooperate?"
Yin Zongdao said, "You will help me seize the Nirvana Stone, and afterwards, we will split the profits 20/80."
"28?"
"Old Master Yin is very straightforward!"
"Rest assured, I guarantee that even if you only get 20%, it will still be more than any Nirvana Stones you have ever received."
Xiao Weiqing said confidently that the Vermilion Bird Empire had obtained second-class Nirvana Stones twice when entering the seventh realm of the ruins, so he would definitely be able to obtain second-class Nirvana Stones as well.
This is the most basic thing.
For a hundred years since the spiritual energy of Blue Star was restored, no one in the Seventh Realm has had the strength of Xiao Weiqing.
Yin Zong smiled insincerely and said, "Dean Xiao really does love to joke."
"Are you kidding me, Mr. Yin? What do you mean?"
"Twenty percent is yours."
"?"
Xiao Weiqing frowned, looking puzzled. "Are you sure?"
"Dean Xiao, do you think this old man has nothing better to do?"
"Don't you think it's excessive for you to ask for 80%?"
The other powerful figures were a bit confused. Did Xiao Weiqing not know how to do math? Taking someone else's things on their territory, taking 80% for himself and leaving only 20% for the other party, what's the difference between that and robbery?
Even Xie Zhiyuan felt a little embarrassed and gave Xiao Weiqing a few glances, telling him to tone it down; asking for an exorbitant price wasn't the right thing to do.
Those who don't know the situation might think that the No. 9 site that was opened to the public this time belongs to Xiao Weiqing's family.
however.
Xiao Weiqing ignored Xie Zhiyuan.
He continued, "Grandpa Yin, I don't think it's excessive."
"I'd like to know, how many Nirvana Stones do you manage to obtain each time you enter the ruins?"
"Generally around ten to fifteen tons."
"So many?" Xiao Weiqing was startled. He hadn't expected the people of the Vermilion Bird Empire to be so powerful, counting Nirvana Stones by the ton.
Yin Lina explained, "The Nirvana Stone is different from ordinary stones. Its density is frighteningly high. A fist-sized stone can weigh a ton."
"Lina!"
Yin Zong stopped Yin Lingna with a look.
Yin Lina realized she had said something wrong, stuck out her tongue, and quickly shut her mouth.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiqing understood and realized the situation.
"Grandpa, I still don't think it's excessive. You can do the math: which is more, 20% of 100 or 80% of 20?"
Xiao Weiqing's meaning was crystal clear: with his strength, he could easily multiply the Vermilion Bird Empire's overall gains several times over; even a 20% increase would still be more than before.
Yin Zong laughed, "Xiao Weiqing, that's not how it works. The entrance is within the territory of my Vermilion Bird Empire. All the output belongs to my Vermilion Bird Empire. Letting you in is already an exception."
"We disagree. You won't even be allowed to enter."
Xiao Weiqing retorted, "You came to me because you value my abilities, so why say such things?"
"Furthermore, to put it bluntly, with my current strength, once your entrance opens, I can slip in unnoticed. Who would find out?"
"Even if they find out, what can they do to me?"
"Weiqing, don't talk nonsense." Xie Zhiyuan glared at Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing shrugged.
Minister Lu also tried to smooth things over, saying, "Xiao Weiqing, don't say such hurtful things. The Great Xia and the Vermilion Bird Empire have been on good terms for a century."
Xiao Weiqing's eyes darted around. "Actually, I don't necessarily need 80%, but the Great Xia gave me life, and Luojiang Academy raised me. Now that I'm powerful and have a chance to seize treasures, I have to think about them, right?"
Upon hearing this...
Minister Lu's eyes lit up, and he added, "On the other hand, as everyone knows, the No. 9 Secret Realm is fraught with danger. If one is not careful, serious injury or even death is possible. Giving Xiao Weiqing 20% is indeed unreasonable."
"That makes sense," Xie Zhiyuan agreed with a smile.
Yin Zong: "..."
Yin Zong felt that coming to see Xiao Weiqing today was a mistake, no, coming here was a mistake. The people here are all snakes and rats, with wolfish ambitions, not a single one of them is good.
"Xiao Weiqing, you're shameless! You owe me a favor and haven't paid it back yet. Now you're trying to take advantage of our Vermilion Bird Empire. You might as well just give us all the Nirvana Stones!" Yin Lina said angrily.
"Well......"
Xiao Weiqing paused, unable to refute Yin Lina's sarcasm; he did indeed owe Yin Lina a favor.
"this......"
"I will repay your favor. Just say the word, and I will do it without hesitation."
"Alright, you help us seize the Nirvana Stone, and the spoils will be distributed according to our plan. Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses. As long as you agree, we'll call it even," Yin Lina said.
Xiao Weiqing said, "Okay."
"You... just agreed like that?" Yin Lina was somewhat taken aback. Xiao Weiqing's attitude was completely different from before. Why was that?
For an instant.
Yin Lina thought a lot, exchanged a glance with Xiao Weiqing, and immediately lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.
Xiao Weiqing ignored Yin Lina's unusual behavior.
He simply stated earnestly, "A person cannot stand without integrity!"
