lì gè wèn tí lìng rén fèi jiě 。 bù guò cǐ shí cǐ xuān zì rán méi yǒu xīn qíng hóu mù qìn suǒ
立个问题令人费解。不过此时此轩自然没有心情喉牧沁索
Lin Xuan was left pondering a question that puzzled him. However, at this moment, he naturally had no mood to worry about anything.
xiù páo yī fú ， liǎng kē jí pǐn jīng shí guāng máng shǎn shuò ， fēi rù dào zhèn fǎ zhī zhōng 。
袖袍一拂，两颗极品晶石光芒闪烁，飞入到阵法之中。
With a wave of his sleeve robe, two top-grade crystal stones emitted a dazzling light and flew into the array.
yī qiè dōu zhǔn bèi hǎo le 。
一切都准备好了。
Everything was ready now.
jiē xià lái jiù shì zuì guān jiàn de yī bù ， fú xià líng dān 。 zài lì yòng zhèn fǎ jiāng mó yīng jì liàn yī biàn 。 zhǐ yào yǐn huàn jiě chú ， bù jǐn xiū liàn huì yī piàn tǎn tú ， shí lì tóng yàng yě huì yǒu shǎo xǔ zēng jiā de 。
接下来就是最关键的一步，服下灵丹。再利用阵法将魔婴祭炼一遍。只要隐患解除，不仅修炼会一片坦途，实力同样也会有少许增加的。
The next crucial step was to take the spirit pill and use the array to refine the demon infant once more. Once the隐患 were removed, not only would his cultivation be smooth sailing, but his strength would also increase slightly.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， zhōng yú yǎng tóu jiāng nà lì xiān hóng de zhuǎn yīng dān tūn le xià qù ， suí hòu máng pán xī zuò hǎo ， shuāng shǒu píng fàng zài xī gài zhī shàng 。
林轩吸了口气，终于仰头将那粒鲜红的转婴丹吞了下去，随后忙盘膝坐好，双手平放在膝盖之上。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and finally swallowed that bright red transmigration pill. He then quickly sat cross-legged, placing both hands on his knees.
tǐ nèi líng lì yùn zhuàn ， kāi shǐ liàn huà zhuǎn yīng dān ， hěn kuài yī gǔ rè lì jiù chū xiàn zài dān tián ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， zhī dào líng yào yǐ kāi shǐ huī xiào lì 。
体内灵力运转，开始炼化转婴丹，很快一股热力就出现在丹田，林轩心中一喜，知道灵药已开始挥效力。
The essence energy within him began to circulate as it started to refine the transmigration pill. Soon, a warm sensation spread through his body. Lin Xuan's face remained expressionless, but his eyes were filled with gravity.
bì shàng shuāng móu ， shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， zhǐ jiàn zài nà wú biān de qì hǎi zhī zhōng ， chū xiàn le yī tuán guǐ yì de yún wù 。
闭上双眸，施展内视之术，只见在那无边的气海之中，出现了一团诡异的云雾。
From his fingertips, colorful magical runes shot out. The black and white Taiji symbol at the demon infant's feet glowed faintly and began to rotate slowly. Countless silver needles appeared, followed by a piercing sound as the demon infant was completely pierced all over.
bù tíng fān yǒng ， xiān yàn duó mù ， gěi rén de gǎn jué ， jiù fǎng fú xiān xuè yào cóng lǐ miàn dī chū 。
不停翻涌，鲜艳夺目，给人的感觉，就仿佛鲜血要从里面滴出。
Outside the array, Lin Xuan's body trembled violently. While it looked like he was being pricked with silver needles, the pain for his spirit infant was magnified a thousandfold compared to a normal cultivator.
bú yòng shuō ， cǐ yún wù jiù shì zhuǎn yīng dān biàn huà chū lái de 。
不用说，此云雾就是转婴丹变化出来的。
What seemed like climbing a mountain of knives or descending into a sea of fire paled in comparison. Lin Xuan's willpower was incredibly strong, but even so, his face contorted from the pain. This was just the beginning of refining the demon infant.
zài dān tián de zhōng xīn zhī chù ， yǒu liǎng gè xiǎo qiǎo de yīng ér zhèng jīn ér zuò ， yǎn kàn yún wù yǐ piāo dào tóu dǐng ， nà bái bái nèn nèn de yuán yīng bù wèi suǒ dòng ， hēi sè de mó yīng zhēng kāi le shuāng móu ， kàn zhuó yǎn qián de yún wù xiǎo liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chí yí yǔ hài pà zhī sè ， bù guò hěn kuài ， jiù bèi jiān jué suǒ dài tì le 。
在丹田的中心之处，有两个小巧的婴儿正襟而坐，眼看云雾已飘到头顶，那白白嫩嫩的元婴不为所动，黑色的魔婴睁开了双眸，看着眼前的云雾小脸上露出一丝迟疑与害怕之色，不过很快，就被坚决所代替了。
The greater the harvest, the greater the sacrifice. The path to immortality was inherently against nature. Refining the demon infant would be painful, as it was a shortcut, but if successful, it would bring countless benefits to Lin Xuan.
shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， huà wèi yī dào wū máng ， yī shǎn 。 yǐ mò rù jìn yún wù lǐ miàn 。
身形一转，化为一道乌芒，一闪。已没入进云雾里面。
The demon infant could advance in rank.
suí hòu ， biàn fǎng fú jìn zhì bèi chù dòng le yì bān ， nà yún wù jù liè de fān yǒng qǐ lái 。
随后，便仿佛禁制被触动了一般，那云雾剧烈的翻涌起来。
Lin Xuan had confidence that he could elevate him to late-stage spirit infant.
jìng shì zhī zhōng ， lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē bái 。 shēn tǐ gèng shì bù shòu kòng zhì de chàn dǒu le qǐ lái 。 dàn yī jiù bì zhe shuāng móu ， dàn liǎng zhǐ shǒu què bù tíng huī dòng ， yī dào yòu yòu yī dào de fǎ jué dǎ chū 。 mó yīng shàng wèi kāi shǐ jì liàn ， guāng shì xī shōu zhuǎn yīng dān de yào lì jiù shì yí gè kǎn 。
静室之中，林轩的脸色有些白。身体更是不受控制的颤抖了起来。但依旧闭着双眸，但两只手却不停挥动，一道又又一道的法诀打出。魔婴尚未开始祭炼，光是吸收转婴丹的药力就是一个坎。
With two late-stage spirit infants, his strength wouldn't simply be twice that of two ordinary cultivators. At that time, Lin Xuan would truly have the confidence to challenge a senior from the Separation realm. While his magical power might still fall short slightly, with his superior techniques and treasures compared to his peers, killing Wise Enlightenment Monk wasn't impossible.
bái guāng yī shǎn ， yuè ér zuān le chū lái ， qiào liǎn shàng mǎn shì dān xīn zhī sè ， zhǐ shì cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yě bāng bù shàng máng de 。
白光一闪，月儿钻了出来，俏脸上满是担心之色，只是此时此刻，她也帮不上忙的。
Thinking about the grudge between them and the Thousand Buddha Sect, enduring this hardship was nothing.
bù guò shào yé nà me duō dà fēng dà làng dōu chuǎng guò ， zhè yī cì yě yí dìng méi shì xiǎo yā tou zài xīn lǐ ān wèi zì jǐ 。
不过少爷那么多大风大浪都闯过，这一次也一定没事小丫头在心里安慰自己。
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and endured another magical rune. The Nine Palaces symbol also lit up, emitting a sharp force that transformed into razor-sharp blades.
shí jiān màn màn liú shì 。
时间慢慢流逝。
Seeing this, Wu Yun'er felt a chill run down her spine. She turned away, unable to bear the sight of her master suffering. Although she understood it was necessary, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, even though painful, the rewards would be greater after enduring it.
lín xuān jiāng dān yào tí chún chéng gōng ， dà yuē shì zhōng wǔ ， rú jīn què zhí dào tài yáng là xià le zhǐ pō 。 cái huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi le shuāng móu 。
林轩将丹药提纯成功，大约是中午，如今却直到太阳落下了止坡。才缓缓睁开了双眸。
On the other side,
yuè ér liǎn sè yī xǐ ， dàn yī jiù rěn zhe méi yǒu kāi kǒu 。 tā xīn zhōng qīng chǔ ， shào yé jì liàn mó yīng de guò chéng dǎ rǎo bù dé 。
月儿脸色一喜，但依旧忍着没有开口。她心中清楚，少爷祭炼魔婴的过程打扰不得。
While Lin Xuan was undergoing this arduous training, in another building within the same courtyard, an elegant young woman stood by the window.
lín xuān de é tóu shàng mǎn shì hàn dī ， què gù bù dé shì qù ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， yī mō tiān líng gài 。
林轩的额头上满是汗滴，却顾不得拭去，伸出手来，一摸天灵盖。
Though not breathtakingly beautiful, her youthful appearance and alluring figure made Lady Ouyang a true beauty of her generation.
guǐ yì de guāng yùn yìng rù yǎn lián ， mó yīng zài tóu dǐng fú xiàn 。
诡异的光韵映入眼帘，魔婴在头顶浮现。
Moreover, she was currently poisoned, making her pale face even more pitiful.
cǐ shí de jiā huo ， yǔ yǐ qián wán quán bù tóng ， míng xiǎn dà le yī quān ， zhěng gè shēn tǐ dōu xiǎn de yǒu xiē fú zhǒng ， bù guò zuì guǐ yì de shì tā de jī fū 。
此时的家伙，与以前完全不同，明显大了一圈，整个身体都显得有些浮肿，不过最诡异的是他的肌肤。
Beside her stood Wu Yun'er with a mischievous look on her face.
yǐ qián de mó yīng qī hēi rú mò ， dàn qí guāng huá ， què rú tóng chóu duàn bān de 。
以前的魔婴漆黑如墨，但其光滑，却如同绸缎般的。
"Master, do you think Senior Uncle will be alright?" Wu Yun'er looked towards the distant building, her expression filled with concern as she spoke.
rán ér cǐ kè ， mó yīng cóng tóu dào jiǎo ， dōu huā wén biàn bù “” bù ， bú shì huā wén 。 zhèng què de shuō ， shì fú zhòu 。
然而此刻，魔婴从头到脚，都花纹遍布“”不，不是花纹。正确的说，是符咒。
When the array activated and released abundant essence energy, it was only about seven or eight zhang away. They could feel the fluctuations, so they came to the window.
xiān hóng sè de fú wén bù mǎn le tā de zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， yán sè yǔ zhuǎn yīng dān xiāng sì ， jiù bù zhī dào liǎng zhě yǒu hé lián xì ， bù guò jiā huo què zī yá liě zuǐ ， xiǎn de tòng kǔ wú bǐ 。
鲜红色的符文布满了他的整个身体，颜色与转婴丹相似，就不知道两者有何联系，不过家伙却呲牙咧嘴，显得痛苦无比。
Even though she gazed out, it was all for naught. Lin Xuan had set up an array to block their view, making it impossible to see anything.
mó yīng nán shòu ， lín xuān zuò wèi xī de běn tǐ 。 zì rán tóng yàng hǎo bù dào nǎ ér qù 。
魔婴难受，林轩做为牺的本体。自然同样好不到哪儿去。
"I don't know either." Lady Ouyang sighed softly, her eyes filled with anxiety as well.
bù guò zì cóng tà rù xiū xiān zhī lù ， tā jīng lì guò de mó nàn shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。 hái shì líng dòng qī de shí hòu ， jiù gǎn chuǎng liàn xīn lù ， zhè yì diǎn bù suàn shén me ， mó yīng bèi yī tuán hēi guāng bāo dú ， fēi rù jìn le zhèn fǎ zhī zhōng 。
不过自从踏入修仙之路，他经历过的磨难数不胜数。还是灵动期的时候，就敢闯炼心路，这一点不算什么，魔婴被一团黑光包毒，飞入进了阵法之中。
"Neither do you? Then Senior Uncle's reasons for seclusion haven't been mentioned to Master?" Wu Yun'er was clearly surprised.
ruò shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， yuán yīng lí tǐ ， ròu shēn zì rán dòng tán bù dé 。 dàn lín xuān qíng kuàng què yòu bù tóng ， hái yǒu yī yīng yī dān zài qì hǎi zhī zhōng ， sī háo bú huì shòu dào yǐng xiǎng shén me 。
若是普通的修仙者，元婴离体，肉身自然动弹不得。但林轩情况却又不同，还有一婴一丹在气海之中，丝毫不会受到影响什么。
Lady Ouyang shook her head. Lin Xuan acted like his experiences—mysterious and unpredictable, leaving people guessing.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
However, upon reflection, there were signs of this. That day when they talked, Lin Xuan suddenly showed signs of pain on his face before quickly recovering. This was likely related to his seclusion.
lín xuān chōng qián biān de zhèn fǎ yì diǎn zhǐ ， liǎng kē zǎo hé dà xiǎo de jí pǐn jīng shí zhōng dùn shí kuáng yǒng chū chōng yù dào lìng rén nán yǐ zhì xìn de líng qì ， wū wū zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 nà bù hǎo de zhèn fǎ kāi shǐ
林轩冲前边的阵法一点指，两颗枣核大小的极品晶石中顿时狂涌出充裕到令人难以置信的灵气，呜呜之声传入耳朵。那布好的阵法开始
Without saying anything, it might be because he didn't want her to worry. But this fool, how could he not know that such a vague situation would make her even more anxious?
dòng 。
动。
Lady Ouyang pondered this but wouldn't show any signs of unease on her face. Yun'er was too mischievous; if she noticed anything amiss, it would be awkward.
mó yīng xuán fú zài zhèn fǎ de zhōng xīn zhī chù ， tā de jiǎo xià líng guāng yī shǎn ， chū xiàn le yī hēi bái fēn míng de tài jí tú àn 。
魔婴悬浮在阵法的中心之处，他的脚下灵光一闪，出现了一黑白分明的太极图案。
She looked at the distant building deeply and felt worried as well. Although she didn't know why Lin Xuan secluded himself, becoming a major cultivator in two hundred years was cause for celebration. However, the rapid advancement concealed many hidden dangers, and there was nothing she could do to help him. She only hoped he wouldn't be harmed.
ér tóu dǐng de guāng máng tóng yàng cuǐ càn ， jiǔ gōng bā guà yìng rù yǎn lián 。
而头顶的光芒同样璀璨，九宫八卦映入眼帘。
Just then, Lady Ouyang's body trembled as black qi appeared on her cheeks. The spider venom from the Heavenly Spider Vessel was complex and had become more frequent in recent days.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng wú jīng wú xǐ ， zhǐ shèng xià yǎn dǐ de níng zhòng zhī yì ， shuāng shǒu què háo bù tíng xiē 。 cóng zhǐ jiān fēi chū wǔ yán liù sè de fǎ jué 。
林轩的脸上无惊无喜，只剩下眼底的凝重之意，双手却毫不停歇。从指尖飞出五颜六色的法诀。
Seeing this, Wu Yun'er quickly helped her sit down and took out several small jade bottles.
nà tài jí tú qīng guāng yī shǎn ， huǎn huǎn de zhuǎn dòng le qǐ lái ， wú shù xì ruò sī de yín zhēn chū xiàn 。 suí hòu pò kōng zhī shēng chuán lái ， mó yīng hún shēn shàng xià ， quán bù bèi zhā mǎn 。
那太极图青光一闪，缓缓的转动了起来，无数细若丝的银针出现。随后破空之声传来，魔婴浑身上下，全部被扎满。
Looking at the pills in her master's hand, Lady Ouyang's eyes widened with surprise: "These were given to Brother Lin."
zhèn fǎ wài ， lín xuān de shēn tǐ jù liè chàn dǒu qǐ lái 。 biǎo miàn shàng kàn shì rǎn yín zhēn zhā xué ， dàn yuán yīng yǔ ròu shēn bù tóng ， nà tòng kǔ shì yào fàng dà qiān wàn bèi de 。
阵法外，林轩的身体剧烈颤抖起来。表面上看是冉银针扎穴，但元婴与肉身不同，那痛苦是要放大千万倍的。
"Yes, before Senior Uncle secluded himself, he once summoned me for a meeting and bestowed countless spirit pills that can counteract the剧毒 within Master." Wu Yun'er replied obediently. She then smiled: "Sometimes Senior Uncle may seem wooden, but deep down, he's quite considerate."
shén me shàng dāo shān ， xià huǒ hǎi ， yǔ qí xiāng bǐ ， quán bù dōu biàn chéng le máo máo yǔ yì bān 。
什么上刀山，下火海，与其相比，全部都变成了毛毛雨一般。
"Rubbish," Lady Ouyang glared at the young woman beside her.
lín xuān de yì zhì jiān rèn wú bǐ ， dàn yě tòng de liǎn kǒng niǔ qū ， ér zhè bù guò shì jì liàn mó yīng de kāi shǐ 。
林轩的意志坚韧无比，但也痛的脸孔扭曲，而这不过是祭炼魔婴的开始。
She coughed repeatedly. Seeing this, Wu Yun'er stopped talking and quickly served her master by taking the spirit pills Lin Xuan left behind. Time passed swiftly for cultivators; dozens of days felt like a blink of an eye.
xiǎng yào yǒu duō dà shōu huò ， jiù bì xū yǒu duō dà fù chū 。 xiān dào zhī lù ， qiú cháng shēng běn lái jiù shì nì tiān xíng shì de 。
想要有多大收获，就必须有多大付出。仙道之路，求长生本来就是逆天行事的。
But for Lin Xuan, these past few years had been like a hellish ordeal. The previous Heart Refinement Path—experiencing fiery mountains or enduring ten-thousand-year-old ice—had all paled in comparison to this experience.
jì liàn mó yīng zì rán tòng kǔ ， zhè běn lái jiù shì qǔ qiǎo zhī wù ， rán ér yí dàn chéng gōng ， yě huì wèi lín xuān dài lái shù zhī bù jìn de hǎo chù 。
祭炼魔婴自然痛苦，这本来就是取巧之物，然而一旦成功，也会为林轩带来数之不尽的好处。
The spirit infant was the foundation of a cultivator; the pain was tenfold that of the body. While he knew what to expect, experiencing it firsthand was entirely different.
mó yīng kě yǐ jìn jí 。
魔婴可以晋级。
Lin Xuan's willpower was beyond doubt. After being mocked and excluded by the Moon Sect for three years while lingering in the early stage of agility, he never gave up but instead refined his heart.
lín xuān yǒu xìn xīn jiāng tā shēng zhì yuán yīng hòu qī 。
林轩有信心将他升至元婴后期。
This was a worthy testament to his indomitable spirit. However, this time, he almost couldn't hold on. To be honest, these dozens of days had left Lin Xuan somewhat confused about how he managed to endure it.
zhè yàng yī lái 。 yōng yǒu liǎng gè hòu qī yuán yīng de zì jǐ ， shí lì kě bú shì liǎng gè dà xiū shì xiāng jiā zhè me jiǎn dān 。
这样一来。拥有两个后期元婴的自己，实力可不是两个大修士相加这么简单。
The pain pushed him to the brink of his endurance, but no matter what, he always persevered.
nà shí hòu ， lín xuān cái zhēn zhèng yǒu bǎ wò yǔ lí hé qī lǎo guài yī zhàn 。 fǎ lì shàng huò xǔ hái huì shāo xùn yì diǎn ， dàn píng jiè zhe zì jǐ yuǎn tóng jiē xiū shì de fǎ shù yǔ bǎo wù 。 miè shā huì tōng tū lǘ yě bú shì bù kě néng de 。
那时候，林轩才真正有把握与离合期老怪一战。法力上或许还会稍逊一点，但凭借着自己远同阶修士的法术与宝物。灭杀慧通秃驴也不是不可能的。
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes and shot out another magical rune. The sound grew louder until it finally subsided, and the essence energy around him dimmed. With the refinement complete, he naturally needed to terminate the array.
yī xiǎng dào yǔ wàn fú zōng zhī jiān de ēn chóu 。 chī zhè diǎn kǔ ， yòu suàn dé le shén me ？
一想到与万佛宗之间的恩仇。吃这点苦，又算得了什么？
Looking at the two top-grade crystal stones in front of him, their colors had significantly faded. It was clear that the essence energy inside them was nearly depleted. This reflected the trials Lin Xuan endured; the two crystal stones were ultimately used to refine the demon infant.
Lin Xuan was left pondering a question that puzzled him. However, at this moment, he naturally had no mood to worry about anything.
With a wave of his sleeve robe, two top-grade crystal stones emitted a dazzling light and flew into the array.

The demon infant could advance in rank.
Lin Xuan had confidence that he could elevate him to late-stage spirit infant.
With two late-stage spirit infants, his strength wouldn't simply be twice that of two ordinary cultivators. At that time, Lin Xuan would truly have the confidence to challenge a senior from the Separation realm. While his magical power might still fall short slightly, with his superior techniques and treasures compared to his peers, killing Wise Enlightenment Monk wasn't impossible.
Thinking about the grudge between them and the Thousand Buddha Sect, enduring this hardship was nothing.
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and endured another magical rune. The Nine Palaces symbol also lit up, emitting a sharp force that transformed into razor-sharp blades.
