Chapter 154: Teacher, Don't Do That

This divine bone, if submitted, can actually yield about one hundred cubic of Dark Energy!

This is one hundred million units of Dark Energy.

Lu Xun felt somewhat tempted.

"Teacher, if we burn it to ash, what would we get?"

Lu Xun asked.

His Phoenix True Flame, if continuously burned, should be able to threaten this divine bone.

"If it can be burned to ash, you can obtain top-tier forging material."

Fu Xue said.

Top-tier forging material?

Indeed, this divine bone is hard to damage even with sacred weapons; if we burn it to ash and add some divine bone ash during forging, how powerful would that be.

"Your damaged sacred weapon in your hand was cut by a weapon mixed with more divine bone ash; merely wanting to burn the divine bone to ash is difficult, ordinary flames are useless, pure high temperature is also useless."

Fu Xue looked at Lu Xun's broken sword and said.

In that case,

Divine bone ash is indeed a good thing.

Then let's burn it.

If we don't burn this thing, leaving it by our side is also a hidden danger.

"If you want to find someone to help you burn it, I can help you contact them; the price is roughly around five hundred cubic of Dark Energy."

Fu Xue also said.

Good fellow.

To burn this divine bone to ash requires five hundred cubic of Dark Energy!

This is probably still Fu Xue's friend price.

Upon second thought, that seems normal as well.

How expensive would a complete sacred weapon be.

Mixing divine bone ash into a sacred weapon allows it to sever other sacred weapons lacking divine bone ash; the value of a sacred weapon would likely increase more than tenfold.

Thus, the preciousness of divine bone ash is evident.

"Teacher, I have awakened a natal spirit fire that should be able to threaten it, but I feel that once I burn it, it will fight me desperately; if you can protect me, I should be able to burn it to ash."

Lu Xun decided to burn the divine bone.

These words made Fu Xue's eyes instantly brighten, surprise appearing in her gaze.

"Really?"

She asked.

"I'm not sure either, but we can give it a try."

Lu Xun didn't commit his words too absolutely.

"Then go ahead and try it; rest assured, I will protect you."

Fu Xue promised.

"Good."

Lu Xun came before the alchemy furnace and began releasing the Phoenix True Flame.

Fu Xue then stood beside Lu Xun, ready to act at any moment.

While protecting Lu Xun, she also observed the Phoenix True Flame he released.

In her eyes, astonishment gradually appeared.

Lu Xun's Phoenix True Flame, in quality, compared to her natal spirit fire, is unknown how many levels higher.

The natal spirit fire bears the word "natal" because it can transform as strength increases.

As a Six Realms peak expert, Fu Xue's natal spirit fire is extremely terrifying.

In pure power, it far surpasses the Phoenix True Flame.

But Lu Xun's Phoenix True Flame, in quality, gives Fu Xue a feeling of being lofty and far ahead.

The divine bone represents the ultimate perfect life form, already beyond the human realm.

Fu Xue's natal spirit fire power, though great, is not yet sufficient to threaten it.

But Lu Xun's Phoenix True Flame is different; to Fu Xue it feels like something of the same level as the divine bone.

It is merely still at the sprout stage.

Although it is a sprout, if Lu Xun continues burning, it truly can threaten the divine bone.

This made Fu Xue somewhat surprised.

Lu Xun actually awakened such a high-quality natal spirit fire!

"Zi zi~"

The divine bone desperately tries to block the approach of the Phoenix True Flame.

"Burn it!"

Lu Xun's internal power surges, disregarding consumption, releasing more Phoenix True Flame.

This time, faster than before, the Phoenix True Flame is about to burn onto the divine bone.

At this moment, a cold will from within the divine bone surges out.

"Hmph!"

Fu Xue had prepared; the martial will of a Six Realms peak expert rushes forward to meet it.

"Hum~"

Two wills collided and began to clash.

"Teacher?"

Lu Xun noticed that Fu Xue had frozen.

"Good partner."

Even Fu Xue was stunned; if the will contained in the divine bone were to act against him, Lu Xun would indeed be in some danger.

Lu Xun's action of calling Fu Xue was undoubtedly the correct one.

"Get down!"

In the clash of wills, Lu Xun couldn't help much.

All he could do was to burn the divine bone to ash as quickly as possible.

Under Lu Xun's urging, the Phoenix True Flame finally fell onto the divine bone, burning it violently.

He then saw that flames had indeed ignited on the divine bone.

Lu Xun's guess was correct.

The Phoenix True Flame could indeed threaten the divine bone.

But... it's a bit too slow!

Burning it this way, I don't know how long it will take.

"Right, Chaotic Power."

Lu Xun thought of a method.

Using Chaotic Power as fuel would make the Phoenix True Flame's power greater.

"Come on!"

Lu Xun went all out with his firepower.

"Boom!"

After activating Chaotic Power, the Phoenix True Flame produced a blaze explosion, wildly burning around the divine bone.

"Sure enough, it sped up!"

The burning speed of the divine bone thus increased by more than tenfold.

Even so, the absolute speed isn't that fast.

Being anxious is useless; Lu Xun can only continuously release the Phoenix True Flame while taking out Dark Energy to replenish.

Using Chaotic Power to release the Phoenix True Flame gives great power, but the consumption is likewise substantial.

"Magic power is precious; use a blend of two kinds of Chaotic Power."

After several hours, Lu Xun's magic power could not hold up.

His magic power cannot replenish itself; using a bit reduces it.

Therefore, Lu Xun had to use a weakened version of Chaotic Power, namely a mixture of spiritual power and true qi.

"How is she still spacing out..."

Fu Xue is still spacing out.

This indicates that her clash of wills with the will bursting from the divine bone is still ongoing.

"She's so strong; she should be fine, right?"

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel worried.

He even had the thought of calling for reinforcements.

Fu Xue still has a sister; Lu Xun has no way to contact Fu Yue, but he can reach her through Murong Wan.

However, if Murong Wan is in closed-door cultivation, contacting her is not easy either.

"There should be no problem; just wait a bit longer."

After observing, Lu Xun felt from Fu Xue's expression that the problem should not be serious.

He continued to burn the divine bone.

"No wonder it's so expensive to have someone burn a divine bone."

After burning for over ten hours, Lu Xun understood why it was so costly.

The consumption is too great.

Even with Lu Xun's accumulation, constant replenishment is necessary.

After over ten hours of continuous burning, Lu Xun has already used up several cubic units of Dark Energy.

Also thanks to his extremely fast replenishment speed; otherwise, replenishment couldn't keep up with consumption.

After such a long burn, this divine bone has been burned away about one-sixth.

I don't know where Blood Nether obtained it.

Such a sinister thing is indeed a treasure, but it also hides a huge pit.

Burning it to ash is the best choice.

One day, two days, three days.

Fu Xue was still spacing out, but midway through one day she sent Lu Xun a mental fluctuation, so he didn't need to worry.

Lu Xun then relaxed and continued burning the divine bone.

After three days, the divine bone had been burned away more than half, leaving only a tiny bit.

Lu Xun redoubled his efforts and kept burning.

Finally, on the fifth day, this divine bone was completely turned to ash.

"Just this much?"

The ash produced from the divine bone is not much.

Just enough to fit a small bowl.

This bit of bone ash took Lu Xun a full five days to gather, and also used up several tens of cubic Dark Energy to make up for the consumption.

Only Lu Xun could absorb and transform that much Dark Energy in just a few days.

If it were a fourth-realm grandmaster given that much Dark Energy, he wouldn't be able to absorb it all in a few days.

Lu Xun carefully collected the divine bone ash.

This bowl of divine bone ash is extremely precious.

If taken out to sell, it could fetch a sky‑high price.

However, Lu Xun does not intend to sell it.

Now earning Dark Energy is not hard for him, but running into divine bone again won't be easy.

"Teacher?"

After gathering the divine bone ash, Lu Xun looked toward Fu Xue.

Fu Xue showed no movement.

He waited patiently.

After half a day, finally, Fu Xue blinked.

"Teacher, did you win?"

Lu Xun asked with concern.

Before his words faded, Fu Xue suddenly raised her hand, her fingertip lightly tweaking her waist——

"Swish!"

Her outer robe slipped off suddenly, like butterfly wings fluttering down to the ground; her snow‑white skin glistened with a lustrous sheen in the faint light, her curves exquisite, fully revealed.

"Teacher?!"

His Adam's apple rolled, he instinctively stepped back half a pace, his voice tightening: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Don't do this—I'm your student.

However, Fu Xue's gaze remained dazed, as if fallen into some chaos.

But in the very next second——

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pupils instantly regained clarity.

"……Huh?"

Fu Xue lowered her head and looked; in an instant, as if struck by lightning, her whole face flushed with a whoosh, even her ear tips turning red enough to drip blood.

"Ah——!"

With a crook of her slender finger, the robe on the ground, as if pulled, swished back onto her; in the blink of an eye she was fully dressed, even her sash tied neatly.

Her composure quickly returned: "My thoughts went awry; treat today's incident as if you saw nothing."

Lu Xun immediately raised his hand and swore: "I, the student, saw nothing!"
