Chapter 436: with translation of chapter title

Teacher, this is the snow lotus he snatched.

Lu Xun handed several stalks of ice mountain snow lotus to Fu Yue and Fu Xue.

Lu Xun, the shadow clan person you just killed, is Seven Realms, right?

Fu Yue raised her eyes, a glint of disbelief flashing in her gaze.

Ah, Seven Realms? No way, Teacher, I feel he's at most Six Realms peak.

Lu Xun did not admit it.

Just now that shadow clan person, after succeeding, fled far away, putting at least several tens of li between himself and the two women.

Although they also know the Instant Word Technique, the two women's Instant Word Technique is only minorly accomplished, making it not as formidable as Lu Xun's.

At a distance of several tens of li, the shadow clan person made only one move, and the two women might not clearly judge his strength.

Although, by common sense, a shadow clan person who can hide from two Seven Realms experts and escape that quickly can only be Seven Realms.

But who dares to guarantee that the opponent isn't a genius among the shadow clan?

Really?

Fu Yue didn't really believe it.

But compared to Lu Xun's one‑sword instant kill of a Seven Realms shadow clan person, it seems somewhat more plausible.

After all, how old is Lu Xun?

Given the miracles Lu Xun has created along his journey, Fu Yue could accept that he is now capable of defeating a Seven Realms opponent.

But defeating Seven Realms and instantly killing Seven Realms are two different concepts.

Especially a Seven Realms shadow clan person.

Their Shadow Escape ability is quite formidable.

If the attack isn't sharp enough, they only need to slightly block you for a moment to complete Shadow Escape.

As a result, Lu Xun killed him with one sword.

Both Fu Yue and Fu Xue found it unbelievable.

By comparison, that shadow clan person not being Seven Realms makes more sense.

Teacher, we can't guarantee there aren't other shadow clan people around; we should hurry back to gather the ice mountain snow lotus.

Lu Xun changed the subject.

Okay, let's head back first.

Fu Yue didn't dwell on the matter.

The other ice mountain snow lotus, added together, are also quite valuable.

As for Fu Xue, I don't know if it's because of her engagement, but lately she's been speaking less when facing Lu Xun.

Fu Yue seems more like Lu Xun's mentor now.

However, Fu Xue still feels something is off.

Even though they were far apart, the sword intent Lu Xun displayed when he acted still gave her a vague sense of it.

That sword intent made her, who had just broken through the Annihilation‑level Sword Intent, involuntarily feel a sense of lofty admiration.

This made Fu Xue feel that the slain shadow clan person might indeed be Seven Realms.

But Lu Xun's sword intent three years ago was still Destruction‑level.

How could he have improved so much?

Fu Xue couldn't figure it out.

Moreover, she didn't know that the breakthrough in Lu Xun's sword intent was because of her.

Since she couldn't be completely certain, this matter still had doubts, so Fu Xue set it aside for now.

The three returned to that high mountain and began gathering the ice mountain snow lotus.

These snow lotuses, even a single stalk, could probably sell for several tens of cubic Dark Energy... No wonder cultivators above Seven Realms tend to be relatively wealthy.

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel moved while gathering the ice mountain snow lotus.

At the ancient road nodes, the stronger one's cultivation, the naturally greater the harvest.

Just like these ice mountain snow lotuses, without sufficient cultivation, one simply cannot obtain them.

That Seven Realms shadow clan person slain by Lu Xun could not possibly have obtained them.

This group of star‑space alien species has guarded this for so many years; no scheme works against them.

Soon, all the ice mountain snow lotus were collected.

Lu Xun, this is yours.

Fu Yue took out half of the ice mountain snow lotus and handed it to Lu Xun.

Is this meant to give Lu Xun half?

Teacher, there's no need for this much... How about this: from now on we split the profits three ways; I don't need the ice mountain snow lotus, so I'll give it all to Teacher Fu Xue, and other resources can compensate me later.

Lu Xun proposed the distribution plan.

Alright.

Fu Yue agreed.

As for Fu Xue, she naturally had no objection.

She indeed needed these ice mountain snow lotus.

Teacher, over there beneath the ice plain, there seems to be something.

After settling this, Lu Xun pointed to another ice plain.

Okay!

Fu Yue had heard Fu Xue mention before that Lu Xun possesses a divine ability that is effective for seeking abnormal spiritual objects in the Spirit Realm.

So, she didn't doubt Lu Xun's words, and the three flew straight there.

"This is ice marrow; although it's acquired, it can also let Xiao Xue's strength greatly increase!"

After more than an hour, after blasting down several ten thousand meters into this ice plain, in the ice sea below, they discovered ice marrow.

Ice marrow is equivalent to the crystallization of ice energy, and also extremely concentrated ice energy.

Its formation requires extremely harsh conditions; it's not that just having ice will do.

Like the solar system where Lan Xing once was, the outer Neptune and Uranus are giant ice balls, but their interiors are unlikely to contain ice marrow.

Without sufficient rich dark energy, it's impossible to form ice marrow.

This is equivalent to the result of a reaction between dark energy and ice energy.

This ice marrow is acquired, not the innate ice marrow that Lu Xun originally gave to Fu Xue.

Although it's acquired, for Fu Xue the effect is not small; it can further increase Fu Xue's cultivation speed.

"Lu Xun, thanks to you."

Fu Yue feels somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, Lu Xun came.

Otherwise, who would have thought that beneath an ice plain tens of kilometers deep, ice marrow actually exists.

This makes her feel that the distribution plan puts Lu Xun at a disadvantage.

She wanted to change it a bit, but Lu Xun simply wouldn't agree.

So she could only give up.

"Teacher, there's still something over there."

Lu Xun soon made another discovery.

As a Seven Star Spirit Realm, there are more good things, but not every kind is as easy to find as the ice mountain snow lotus.

Lu Xun's Heavenly Dao Pupil is incomparably sharp; whether above ground or underground, nothing can escape his eyes.

Thus, with the help of the Heavenly Dao Pupil, the three began to search this Seven Star Spirit Realm.
