Yue Wen wrestled with himself for a moment.
When he had undergone Great Fire Astral Refining, Zhao Xing'er had lent him all her money without a word. Now that he had broken through first, he certainly had to help with her breakthrough.
Those who refined first should help those who refined later.
She had supported him with everything she had when he was refining his astral energy. If he washed his hands of her now that it was her turn, that would make him an absolute animal.

He had voluntarily given up picking Snow Lotuses to save up Evil-Suppressing Money. His teammates had picked more, and they deserved what they had earned.
A moment later, Yue Wen made up his mind. "Although we're poor, we still need to have some backbone! I'll return this Cloud-Wave Snow Lotus. Xing'er will still need some time to go from the late stage to the great perfection stage. During this time, I'll make a few more trips into the Wasteland Zone to gather spirit plants or hunt monsters to sell. That should be enough to cover the cost of the materials you need for refining gang qi."

It'll take Xing'er some time to go from late stage to great perfection anyway. I'll make a few more trips into the Wasteland Zone in the meantime and bring back Spirit Plants or hunt some Demon Beasts to
