lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， kàn zhe piāo fú zài shēn qián de nóng chóu yè tǐ 。 shuō ，.Com zài jiā rù dà liàng de cái liào yǐ hòu ， tā biàn chéng le cuǐ càn de yín sè 。
林轩抬起头，看着漂浮在身前的浓稠液体。說，.Com在加入大量的材料以后，牠变成了璀璨的银色。
Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the thick liquid floating in front of him. He said, "After adding a large amount of materials, it turned into a dazzling silver color."
cǐ shí bèi yīng huǒ bāo guǒ ， zhèng bù tíng de fān yǒng ， gěi rén de gǎn jué ， fǎng fú shì shuǐ bèi zhǔ kāi le 。
此时被婴火包裹，正不停的翻涌，给人的感觉，仿佛是水被煮开了。
At this moment, the infant fire enveloped it, causing it to continuously churn, giving the impression that water had been boiled.
lín xuān shuāng mù zhōng lán máng shǎn shuò ， shǐ yòng qǐ le líng mù shù shén tōng ， duì zhe yè tǐ zhù shì liáng jiǔ 。
林轩双目中蓝芒闪烁，使用起了灵目术神通，对着液体注视良久。
Blue light flickered in Lin Xuan's eyes as he used his Spirit Eye Technique. He stared at the liquid for a long time before sighing and raising his hand. A streak of green sword energy shot out from between his fingers, piercing the liquid with a flash.
tā tàn le kǒu qì ， sà rán jiāng shǒu tái qǐ ， cóng zhǐ jiān jī shè chū yī dào qīng sè de jiàn qì ， yī shǎn ， yǐ cì rù le nà yè tǐ lǐ miàn 。
他叹了口气，飒然将手抬起，从指间激射出一道青色的剑气，一闪，已刺入了那液体里面。
A pattering sound reached his ears as a piece of infant fist-sized material was cut off by the sword energy and floated into Lin Xuan's palm under the light of spirit energy.
pā dā yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà yè tǐ yǐ bèi qiè xià yīng ér quán tou dà xiǎo de yī kuài ér lái le ， suí hòu bèi líng guāng tuō zhe ， luò rù le lín xuān de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
啪嗒一声传入耳朵，那液体已被切下婴儿拳头大小的一块儿来了，随后被灵光托着，落入了林轩的掌心之中。
Upon closer inspection, the silver color became even more dazzling.
jìn jù lí kàn ， nà yín sè yuè fā de yào yǎn 。
近距离看，那银色越发的耀眼。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes. Using Inner Vision, he saw that in his dantian, besides the small lake formed by the five-colored spiritual energy, countless blue light points rotated like a star sea.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī hé ， suí hòu jiāng yǎn móu gěi bì shàng le 。
林轩双手一合，随后将眼眸给闭上了。
He could say that all this was due to this object. Lin Xuan didn't know its origin but clearly it was an extraordinary item. Apart from refining infant fire and merging with spiritual energy, it also required high-level array techniques. For another cultivator, this would be too much to ask, but for Lin Xuan, there were no issues.
shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， zhǐ jiàn zài dān tián zhī zhōng ， chú le nà wǔ sè líng lì xíng chéng de xiǎo hú ， hái yǒu wú shù lán sè guāng diǎn xiàng xīng hǎi yì bān ， huǎn huǎn xuán zhuǎn 。
施展内视之术，只见在丹田之中，除了那五色灵力形成的小湖，还有无数蓝色光点像星海一般，缓缓旋转。
He mastered the璇玑心得and had comprehended the Heaven Dao Array Scripture, so his array technique was more than sufficient for refining armor.
zì jǐ néng gòu tà shàng xiān tú ， kě yǐ shuō quán kào le cǐ wù 。
自己能够踏上仙途，可以说全靠了此物。
Lin Xuan easily set up the array flags around him and then carved into the ground, placing crystals in the grooves. Soon, an array specifically designed for refining armor was complete.
lái lì lín xuān bìng bù qīng chǔ 。 dàn xiǎn rán shì yī nì tiān zhī wù ， chú le kě yǐ duì dān yào tí chún yǐ wài ， gè zhǒng cái liào ， xīng hǎi qí shí yě yǒu tóng yàng de xiào guǒ ， zhǐ bù guò yào kùn nán dé duō 。
来历林轩并不清楚。但显然是一逆天之物，除了可以对丹药提纯以外，各种材料，星海其实也有同样的效果，只不过要困难得多。
He released his divine sense to check three times, not just the obvious details but even the minutest ones as well. He wasn't being overly cautious; it was simply that this matter couldn't be taken lightly. As the saying went, a small error could lead to a big mistake. Even if he made a single stroke in the wrong place on the array, all his efforts would be wasted.
ér bì yàn qí lín jiǎ kě shì lín xuān pàn wàng yǐ jiǔ zhī wù ， cǐ kè zì rán shì yào shì yī shì le 。
而碧焰麒麟甲可是林轩盼望已久之物，此刻自然是要试一试了。
So, with great care, Lin Xuan began casting several spells. A howling sound filled his ears as everything checked out fine. Finally, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
xī le kǒu qì ， lín xuān kāi shǐ diào dòng tǐ nèi de fǎ lì ， ràng tā men yǔ lán sè guāng diǎn huì jí zài yì qǐ ， shùn zhe jīng mài ， xiàng zhe shǒu zhǎng huǎn huǎn liú le guò lái 。
吸了口气，林轩开始调动体内的法力，让牠们与蓝色光点汇集在一起，顺着经脉，向着手掌缓缓流了过来。
After some thought, however, he didn't immediately start refining. The next step required continuous effort and no interruptions, so before proceeding, he decided to check on Yue'er.
bù yī huì er ， jìng shì zhī zhōng lán guāng shǎn shuò ， zhǐ jiàn shù yǐ bǎi jì de lán sè guāng diǎn ， zhèng bù tíng de cóng lín xuān de shǒu zhǎng lǐ yǒng chū ， rú xī liú yì bān ， jìn rù nà yīng ér quán tou dà xiǎo de yuán qiú lǐ miàn 。
不一会儿，静室之中蓝光闪烁，只见数以百计的蓝色光点，正不停的从林轩的手掌里涌出，如溪流一般，进入那婴儿拳头大小的圆球里面。
Their cave dwellings were close by, and they arrived quickly.
zhè ge guò chéng chí xù le zhěng zhěng sān tiān 。
这个过程持续了整整三天。
Opening the stone door, Lin Xuan's expression turned to one of astonishment. The dazzling red light had disappeared, but Yue'er was nowhere to be seen. Only a snow-white cocoon-like object remained in place.
rán ér yín sè yuán qiú què jǐn jǐn shì xiǎo le yì diǎn diǎn ， zài tā páng biān ， yǒu zhǐ jiǎ gài dà xiǎo de yì diǎn hēi sè fěn mò ， bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì zá zhì le 。
然而银色圆球却仅仅是小了一点点，在牠旁边，有指甲盖大小的一点黑色粉末，不用说，自然是杂质了。
"What...?"
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
Lin Xuan frowned as he slowly released his divine sense. Sure enough, Yue'er was inside the cocoon.
lín xuān chū le kǒu qì ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， mǒ le mǒ é tóu shàng de hàn dī ， tā zì jǐ dōu huái yí zhè me zuò shì fǒu zhí de ， huā le sān tiān ， cái fèn lí chū zhè me yì diǎn hēi sè fěn mò ， cái liào guǒ rán bǐ dān yào nán tí chún dé duō 。
林轩出了口气，伸出手来，抹了抹额头上的汗滴，他自己都怀疑这么做是否值得，花了三天，才分离出这么一点黑色粉末，材料果然比丹药难提纯得多。
"Swine, why are you here again?"
dàn huà suī zhè me shuō ， cái liào de pǐn zhì měi shàng shēng yì diǎn ， liàn chū lái de zhàn jiǎ fáng yù lì zì rán yě yuè qiáng de 。
但话虽这么说，材料的品质每上升一点，炼出来的战甲防御力自然也越强的。
The sweet voice came from Xiao Tao without doubt. But Lin Xuan had no interest in arguing with her at this moment.
gù ér lín xuān kě bù huì fàng qì 。 jiāng tí chún hǎo de róng róng tài yè tǐ fàng rù yī shì xiān zhǔn bèi hǎo de jǐn hé lǐ ， rán hòu yòu huī shǒu fàng chū yī dào jiàn qì ， zài qiē gē xià yī yīng ér quán tou dà xiǎo de yuán qiú ， jì xù kāi shǐ yòng xīng hǎi tí chún le 。
故而林轩可不会放弃。将提纯好的熔融态液体放入一事先准备好的锦盒里，然后又挥手放出一道剑气，再切割下一婴儿拳头大小的圆球，继续开始用星海提纯了。
"How is Yue'er?" Lin Xuan's face showed concern.
……
……
Seeing his expression, Xiao Tao's demeanor softened. She had seen how much Lin Xuan cared for Yue'er over the past days and although she still wasn't lenient, her attitude was clearly friendlier than before.
jiù zhè yàng shí jiān màn màn liú shì ， yī zhuǎn yǎn ， guò qù le jiǔ jiǔ bā shí yī tiān ， lín xuān zhōng yú jiāng suǒ yǒu de yè tǐ quán dōu tí chún le yī biàn 。
就这样时间慢慢流逝，一转眼，过去了九九八十一天，林轩终于将所有的液体全都提纯了一遍。
"Good that you have a conscience to come visit Miss every now and then. Don't worry; this is good news."
rán hòu jiāng tā men chóng xīn róng hé ， huì jù chéng yī chǐ xǔ dà de yuán qiú le 。
然后将牠们重新融合，汇聚成一尺许大的圆球了。
"Good news?"
kàn zhe bàn kōng zhōng yín guāng càn làn zhī wù ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， suí hòu qǔ chū jǐ lì líng yào tūn fú ， kāi shǐ bì mù dǎ zuò 。
看着半空中银光灿烂之物，林轩脸上露出满意之色，随后取出几粒灵药吞服，开始闭目打坐。
"Yes, Miss has truly been a genius. She has already refined the Deva's Blood," Xiao Tao puffed out her chest with admiration on her face.
suī rán tā shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě shí lì zhí zhuī lí hé ， dàn yī lián xīn kǔ le zhè me jiǔ ， tǐ nèi de fǎ lì yě jī hū xiāo hào yī kōng le 。
虽然他是元婴后期的大修仙者，而且实力直追离合，但一连辛苦了这么久，体内的法力也几乎消耗一空了。
"Why does she need to form a cocoon if she's refining the blood?" Lin Xuan still didn't understand and asked.
zhè dì yī bù yě shì zuì zhòng yào de gōng zuò wán chéng ， lín xuān dà sōng le yì kǒu qì ， zì rán xū yào shāo shì xiē xī 。
这第一步也是最重要的工作完成，林轩大松了一口气，自然需要稍事歇息。
"Hmph, you know nothing. Miss is the reincarnation of the Deva King; forming an infant naturally differs from ordinary humans. In any case, this is good news. You can only envy," Xiao Tao rolled her eyes at him in disdain.
shù gè shí chén zhī hòu 。
数个时辰之后。
Was there some other benefit to using such a method? But no matter how many questions Lin Xuan asked, Xiao Tao remained silent.
lín xuān zhēng kāi yǎn jīng ， yòu shǒu yī fú ， yī tào wǔ yán liù sè de zhèn qí qǔ chū ， zhè shì tā shì xiān liàn zhì hǎo de ， shuō qǐ lái ， lín xuān yùn qì bù cuò 。
林轩睁开眼睛，右手一拂，一套五颜六色的阵旗取出，这是他事先炼制好的，说起来，林轩运气不错。
Unable to help it, Lin Xuan returned to his stone room.
liàn zhì zhè bì yàn qí lín jiǎ yǒu yī zuì dà de nán chǔ 。 jiù shì yào yǐ zhèn liàn jiǎ 。
炼制这碧焰麒麟甲有一最大的难处。就是要以阵炼甲。
Though he was puzzled, knowing that Yue'er was doing well made him content. Now, all he needed to do was use the array technique to complete this treasure.
ér qiě duì yú zhèn fǎ yǒu hěn gāo de yāo qiú ， liàn jiǎ shī zài zhèn fǎ fāng miàn ， yě bì xū yǒu jí shēn de zào yì 。
而且对于阵法有很高的要求，炼甲师在阵法方面，也必须有极深的造诣。
With so much top-grade material infused into it, Lin Xuan looked forward to the power of the Fiery Phoenix Armor.
huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， zhè jiǎn zhí yǒu diǎn qiǎng rén suǒ nán le ， rán ér duì yú lín xuān lái shuō ， què gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shén me 。
换一名修仙者，这简直有点强人所难了，然而对于林轩来说，却根本就没有什么。
Standing in the center of his stone room, he took a deep breath and began casting spells with his hands moving like butterflies. A howling sound filled his ears as the array was activated.
tā jīng tōng xuán jī xīn dé ， yòu cān wù guò tiān yuán zhèn shū ， zài zhèn fǎ fāng miàn de zào yì ， yòng yú liàn zhì zhàn jiǎ shì chuò chuò yǒu yú 。
他精通璇玑心得，又参悟过天元阵书，在阵法方面的造诣，用于炼制战甲是绰绰有余。
A greenish light column shot out from the center of the stone room, spreading out to reveal countless inch-long flying knives.
lín xuān hěn qīng yì jiù zài zhōu wéi bù zhì hǎo le zhèn qí 。
林轩很轻易就在周围布置好了阵旗。
Lin Xuan's sleeves fluttered, and a large box flew out. Opening the lid, silver liquid emerged.
rán hòu yòu zài dì shàng lòu kè ， wǎng āo cáo zhōng ān fàng hǎo jīng shí ， bù yī huì er ， yī zhuān mén yòng yú liàn zhì zhàn jiǎ de zhèn fǎ jiù bù zhì wán bì 。
然后又在地上镂刻，往凹槽中安放好晶石，不一会儿，一专门用于炼制战甲的阵法就布置完毕。
"Quickly!"
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， yī lián jiǎn chá le sān biàn ， lián zuì xì wēi de dì fāng dōu bù fàng guò ， bìng fēi tā tài guò xiǎo xīn ， ér shì cǐ shì què shí bù néng dà yì ， sú huà shuō ， chā zhī háo lí ， miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， zhǐ yào fǎ zhèn zhōng mǒu tiáo fú wén huà cuò yī bǐ ， dōu yǒu kě néng dǎo zhì qián gōng jìn qì 。
林轩将神识放出，一连检查了三遍，连最细微的地方都不放过，并非他太过小心，而是此事确实不能大意，俗话说，差之毫厘，谬以千里，只要法阵中某条符文划错一笔，都有可能导致前功尽弃。
Lin Xuan pointed at it, and whizzing sounds filled his ears as the flying knives began carving the molten material under his divine sense control. Occasionally, he added some materials with infant fire.
nà shí hòu ， kū dōu méi dì fāng kū ， suǒ yǐ xiàn zài xiǎo xīn yī xiē ， nà shì jué duì yǒu bǎi lì ér wú yī hài dì 。
那时候，哭都没地方哭，所以现在小心一些，那是绝对有百利而无一害地。
The process was complex but, thanks to Lin Xuan's deep understanding of array techniques and powerful divine sense, it was actually easier than refining the Essence Mother of Profound Iron.
zhèn fǎ méi cuò ， lín xuān yī lián shù dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， wū wū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cè shì yě yī qiè zhèng cháng ， lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， zhōng yú lù chū xiào róng lái le 。
阵法没错，林轩一连数道法诀打出，呜呜的声音传入耳朵，测试也一切正常，林轩的嘴角边，终于露出笑容来了。
Still, he didn't dare be careless.
lüè yī sī suǒ 。 tā què méi yǒu mǎ shàng dòng shǒu liàn zhì 。
略一思索。他却没有马上动手炼制。
Days passed as time went by, until forty-nine days had elapsed. Lin Xuan's face showed signs of fatigue, but in front of him stood a nearly complete armor that caught everyone's attention.
yīn wèi xià miàn de gōng zuò ， xū yào yī gǔ zuò qì ， jué duì dǎ rǎo bù dé ， suǒ yǐ zài zhè zhī qián ， lín xuān jué dìng xiān qù kàn yuè ér yī yǎn 。
因为下面的工作，需要一鼓作气，绝对打扰不得，所以在这之前，林轩决定先去看月儿一眼。
The armor's design was ancient yet grand and imposing.
liǎng rén de dòng fǔ āi dé hěn jìn ， zhuǎn shùn jiù dào le 。
两人的洞府挨得很近，转瞬就到了。
At this stage, the Fiery Phoenix Armor was about eighty percent complete. However, the final two steps were crucial as they directly affected its power.
jiāng shí mén tuī kāi ， lín xuān liǎn shàng què lù chū le cuò è yǐ jí de shén sè 。
将石门推开，林轩脸上却露出了错愕以极的神色。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and spat out some essence blood, forming a fist-sized ball of blood that gathered in front of him without dispersing.
nà yào yǎn cì mù de hóng guāng xiāo shī le ， kě yuè ér yě bú jiàn le zōng jì ， zhǐ yǒu yī xuě bái de ， xiàng cán jiǎn yàng de dōng xī liú zài yuán dì 。
那耀眼刺目的红光消失了，可月儿也不见了踪迹，只有一雪白的，像蚕茧样的东西留在原地。
He reached into his waistband and two jade boxes flew out. Opening them revealed powders of different colors—red and black—which were all incorporated into the essence blood.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
A gurgling sound filled Lin Xuan's ears as if the essence blood had been boiled.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， xīn zhōng suī rán yǒu le xiē xǔ cāi cè ， dàn hái shì jiāng shén shí huǎn huǎn fàng chū ， guǒ rán méi cuò ， yuè ér zài nà cán jiǎn zhī zhōng 。
林轩眉头一皱，心中虽然有了些许猜测，但还是将神识缓缓放出，果然没错，月儿在那蚕茧之中。
Extending a finger, he emitted fine and long multi-colored spiritual light, like sculpting tools. Dropping it onto the essence blood, the blood instantly merged with the light. Then, using this light, Lin Xuan slowly carved on the armor.
“ zhū ， nǐ zěn me yòu lái le ？”
“猪，你怎么又来了？”
Each of the symbols and complex miniature arrays were meticulously recorded in the jade scroll. Even with his vast knowledge, most of them were incomprehensible, so he had to follow the examples.
dòng tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， zì rán shì xiǎo táo wú yí ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān kě méi yǒu xìng qù yǔ tā dòu kǒu 。
动听的声音传入耳里，自然是小桃无疑，不过此时此刻，林轩可没有兴趣与她斗口。
The process was intricate, taking over ten days before everything was completed without error.
“ yuè ér zěn me le ？” lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì dān xīn zhī sè 。
“月儿怎么了？”林轩的脸上满是担心之色。
With the symbols and array carvings finished, a large amount of essence blood had also been infused into this armor, making it akin to a life-binding treasure. Lin Xuan rested for several more days and visited Yue'er once again.
jiàn le tā de biǎo qíng ， xiǎo táo shén sè yī huǎn ， bì jìng zhè xiē tiān lái ， lín xuān duì yuè ér de guān xīn tā yě kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， suī rán zuǐ bā shàng yī jiù bù ráo rén ， dàn tài dù yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ 。 què míng xiǎn yǒu hǎo le yī xiē 。
见了他的表情，小桃神色一缓，毕竟这些天来，林轩对月儿的关心她也看在眼里，虽然嘴巴上依旧不饶人，但态度与以前相比。却明显友好了一些。
At this point, the Fiery Phoenix Armor was basically complete, with only one final step: embedding two demon cores in the chest holes.
“ suàn nǐ hái yǒu liáng xīn ， zhī dào gé sān chà wǔ de lái guān xīn xiǎo jiě ， bù guò bù yòng pà ， yīn wèi zhè shì hǎo shì a 。”
“算你还有良心，知道隔三差五的来关心小姐，不过不用怕，因为这是好事啊。”
There were strict requirements for the demon cores. One hole was crimson red, suitable for embedding the core of a fire attribute beast.
“ hǎo shì ？”
“好事？”
The other hole was dark black, fitting the core of a ghost with profound cultivation.
“ bù cuò ， xiǎo jiě guǒ rán tiān cái ， yǐ jīng jiāng xiū luó shén xuè liàn huà 。” xiǎo táo tǐng le tǐng xiōng pú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì chóng bài zhī sè 。
“不错，小姐果然天才，已经将修罗神血炼化。”小桃挺了挺胸脯，脸上满是崇拜之色。
At least it had to be at the Threefold Realm or higher; naturally, the higher the grade, the better the effect.
“ jiāng shén xuè liàn huà róng hé ， nà wèi shén me yào jié jiǎn ne ？” lín xuān hái shì yǒu diǎn bù jiě de kāi kǒu le 。
“将神血炼化融合，那为什么要结茧呢？”林轩还是有点不解的开口了。
Lin Xuan reached out and tapped his storage bag. Two small boxes flew out.
“ hēng ， nǐ dǒng shén me ， xiǎo jiě nǎi ā xiū luó wáng zhuǎn shì ， jié yīng dāng rán yǔ nǐ men zhè xiē fán rén dà bù xiāng tóng 。 zǒng ér yán zhī ， zhè shì hǎo shì ， nǐ xiàn mù yě méi yòng dì 。” xiǎo táo gěi le lín xuān yí gè bái yǎn ， bù xiè de shuō dào 。
“哼，你懂什么，小姐乃阿修罗王转世，结婴当然与你们这些凡人大不相同。总而言之，这是好事，你羡慕也没用地。”小桃给了林轩一个白眼，不屑的说到。
Opening the first box revealed a dark black dragon-eye-sized inner core.
nán dào yòng zhè yàng de fāng fǎ jié yīng ， hái yǒu qí tā de hǎo chù ， bù guò lín xuān zěn me wèn ， xiǎo táo dōu bù kāi kǒu le 。
难道用这样的方法结婴，还有其他的好处，不过林轩怎么问，小桃都不开口了。
A terrifying阴气emanated from it.
wú nài zhī xià ， lín xuān zhǐ hǎo huí dào le zì jǐ de shí shì zhōng 。
无奈之下，林轩只好回到了自己的石室中。
The Inner Core of an Incubus at the late Incubus Realm!
suī rán xīn zhōng yí huò ， bù guò zhī dào yuè ér yī qiè shùn lì ， tā yě jiù xīn mǎn yì zú 。
虽然心中疑惑，不过知道月儿一切顺利，他也就心满意足。
This was something Lin Xuan had obtained in the auction house of Xuanyuan City, a pleasant surprise. Given his cultivation level, slaying a late-stage Incubus might not be difficult, but he needed to encounter one first.
jiē xià lái ， jiù shì zì jǐ yǐ zhèn liàn jiǎ ， yī gǔ zuò qì ， jiāng cǐ bǎo gěi wǒ wán chéng le 。
接下来，就是自己以阵炼甲，一鼓作气，将此宝给我完成了。
As for the other core, it was fiery red—clearly the inner core of the unfortunate Fire Dragon King.
róng rù le rú cǐ duō de jí pǐn cái liào ， duì yú bì yàn qí lín jiǎ de wēi lì ， lín xuān kě qī dài wú bǐ 。
融入了如此多的极品材料，对于碧焰麒麟甲的威力，林轩可期待无比。
According to the jade scroll, cores from three-stage demons could be embedded, and Lin Xuan had brought out an item at the late Incubus Realm. The power of this armor was beyond doubt.
Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the thick liquid floating in front of him. He said, "After adding a large amount of materials, it turned into a dazzling silver color."
At this moment, the infant fire enveloped it, causing it to continuously churn, giving the impression that water had been boiled.
Blue light flickered in Lin Xuan's eyes as he used his Spirit Eye Technique. He stared at the liquid for a long time before sighing and raising his hand. A streak of green sword energy shot out from between his fingers, piercing the liquid with a flash.
A pattering sound reached his ears as a piece of infant fist-sized material was cut off by the sword energy and floated into Lin Xuan's palm under the light of spirit energy.
Upon closer inspection, the silver color became even more dazzling.
Lin Xuan closed his eyes. Using Inner Vision, he saw that in his dantian, besides the small lake formed by the five-colored spiritual energy, countless blue light points rotated like a star sea.
He could say that all this was due to this object. Lin Xuan didn't know its origin but clearly it was an extraordinary item. Apart from refining infant fire and merging with spiritual energy, it also required high-level array techniques. For another cultivator, this would be too much to ask, but for Lin Xuan, there were no issues.
He mastered the璇玑心得and had comprehended the Heaven Dao Array Scripture, so his array technique was more than sufficient for refining armor.
Lin Xuan easily set up the array flags around him and then carved into the ground, placing crystals in the grooves. Soon, an array specifically designed for refining armor was complete.
He released his divine sense to check three times, not just the obvious details but even the minutest ones as well. He wasn't being overly cautious; it was simply that this matter couldn't be taken lightly. As the saying went, a small error could lead to a big mistake. Even if he made a single stroke in the wrong place on the array, all his efforts would be wasted.
So, with great care, Lin Xuan began casting several spells. A howling sound filled his ears as everything checked out fine. Finally, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After some thought, however, he didn't immediately start refining. The next step required continuous effort and no interruptions, so before proceeding, he decided to check on Yue'er.
Their cave dwellings were close by, and they arrived quickly.
Opening the stone door, Lin Xuan's expression turned to one of astonishment. The dazzling red light had disappeared, but Yue'er was nowhere to be seen. Only a snow-white cocoon-like object remained in place.
"What...?"
Lin Xuan frowned as he slowly released his divine sense. Sure enough, Yue'er was inside the cocoon.
"Swine, why are you here again?"
The sweet voice came from Xiao Tao without doubt. But Lin Xuan had no interest in arguing with her at this moment.
"How is Yue'er?" Lin Xuan's face showed concern.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Tao's demeanor softened. She had seen how much Lin Xuan cared for Yue'er over the past days and although she still wasn't lenient, her attitude was clearly friendlier than before.
"Good that you have a conscience to come visit Miss every now and then. Don't worry; this is good news."
"Good news?"
"Yes, Miss has truly been a genius. She has already refined the Deva's Blood," Xiao Tao puffed out her chest with admiration on her face.

Days passed as time went by, until forty-nine days had elapsed. Lin Xuan's face showed signs of fatigue, but in front of him stood a nearly complete armor that caught everyone's attention.
The armor's design was ancient yet grand and imposing.
At this stage, the Fiery Phoenix Armor was about eighty percent complete. However, the final two steps were crucial as they directly affected its power.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and spat out some essence blood, forming a fist-sized ball of blood that gathered in front of him without dispersing.
He reached into his waistband and two jade boxes flew out. Opening them revealed powders of different colors—red and black—which were all incorporated into the essence blood.
A gurgling sound filled Lin Xuan's ears as if the essence blood had been boiled.
Extending a finger, he emitted fine and long multi-colored spiritual light, like sculpting tools. Dropping it onto the essence blood, the blood instantly merged with the light. Then, using this light, Lin Xuan slowly carved on the armor.
Each of the symbols and complex miniature arrays were meticulously recorded in the jade scroll. Even with his vast knowledge, most of them were incomprehensible, so he had to follow the examples.
The process was intricate, taking over ten days before everything was completed without error.
With the symbols and array carvings finished, a large amount of essence blood had also been infused into this armor, making it akin to a life-binding treasure. Lin Xuan rested for several more days and visited Yue'er once again.
At this point, the Fiery Phoenix Armor was basically complete, with only one final step: embedding two demon cores in the chest holes.
There were strict requirements for the demon cores. One hole was crimson red, suitable for embedding the core of a fire attribute beast.
The other hole was dark black, fitting the core of a ghost with profound cultivation.
At least it had to be at the Threefold Realm or higher; naturally, the higher the grade, the better the effect.
Lin Xuan reached out and tapped his storage bag. Two small boxes flew out.
Opening the first box revealed a dark black dragon-eye-sized inner core.
A terrifying阴气emanated from it.
The Inner Core of an Incubus at the late Incubus Realm!
This was something Lin Xuan had obtained in the auction house of Xuanyuan City, a pleasant surprise. Given his cultivation level, slaying a late-stage Incubus might not be difficult, but he needed to encounter one first.
As for the other core, it was fiery red—clearly the inner core of the unfortunate Fire Dragon King.
According to the jade scroll, cores from three-stage demons could be embedded, and Lin Xuan had brought out an item at the late Incubus Realm. The power of this armor was beyond doubt.
