lín xuān néng gòu tà shàng xiān tú ， lán sè xīng hǎi gōng bù kě méi 。
林轩能够踏上仙途，蓝色星海功不可没。
Lin Xuan's path to immortality was largely due to the Blue Star Sea Technique.
gèng hé kuàng bù jiǔ yǐ qián ， tā hái tí chún guò yī cì mèi huò yāo xuán dān ， zhè huí gèng shì jià qīng jiù shú ， méi huā duō shǎo gōng fu ， jiù shū shùn tí chún dào zhōng pǐn le 。
更何况不久以前，他还提纯过一次魅惑夭玄丹，这回更是驾轻就熟，没花多少工夫，就抒顺提纯到中品了。
Moreover, not long ago, he had refined a charm pill once before, and this time it went even more smoothly. He managed to purify it into a middle-grade pill without much effort.
bàn tiān yǐ hòu ， lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng móu ， kàn zhuó yǎn qián de líng dān ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī ； sè ， rán hòu jiāng tuō zhuāng rù le shǒu lǐ de yù píng zhī zhōng 。
半天以后，林轩睁开双眸，看着眼前的灵丹，脸上露出满意之；色，然后将扡装入了手里的玉瓶之中。
After half an hour, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the refined charm pill in front of him with satisfaction, then placed it inside a jade bottle in his hand.
yuán qì yǐ jīng huī fù ， líng dān yě dōu wèi yuàn yuàn zhǔn bèi tuǒ . dāng le ， àn lǐ shuì ， lín xuān yīng gāi chū guān ， kě tā de liǎn shàng què lù chū jǐ fēn chí yí zhī sè lěi 。
元气已经恢复，灵丹也都为媛媛准备妥.当了，按理税，林轩应该出关，可他的脸上却露出几分迟疑之色耒。
His essence energy had recovered, and all the charm pills for YuanYuan were prepared. By rights, he should have left seclusion now, but a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
sú huà shuō ， xiǎo bié shèng xīn hūn ， gèng hé kuàng zì jǐ yǔ ài qī yī bié wǔ shí zài ， jiù suàn yǒu hùn dùn yāo qì zǐ zhǒu ， bù néng yī xiǎng yú shuǐ zhī huān ， yě jué duì yuàn yì ěr bìn sī mó ， yǐ liáo jì xiāng sī zhī ruò 。
俗话说，小别胜新婚，更何况自己与爱妻一别五十载，就算有混沌妖气紫肘，不能一享鱼水之欢，也绝对愿意耳鬓厮磨，以寥寂相思之若。
"If two hearts are truly meant to be together, what does it matter if we don’t see each other every day?"
kě lín xuān bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， tā kǎo lǜ shì qíng yào cháng yuǎn dé duō 。
可林轩不是普通的修仙者，他考虑事情要长远得多。
This common saying was equally applicable to cultivators.
zuò rén bù néng guāng tú yǎn qián huān lè
做人不能光图眼前欢乐
If Lin Xuan and the Peacock could both advance to the Profound Void realm, they would naturally be able to stay together. But if he were to indulge in a moment of pleasure and perish in the upcoming battle, that would be a waste.
rén wú yuǎn lǜ ， bì yǒu jìn yōu ， rú jīn zì jǐ gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shí jiān yǔ jié jì ěr duǒ sī
人无远虑，必有近忧，如今自己根本就没有时间与婕妓耳朵厮
Lin Xuan wouldn't do such foolish things; nor was it just for show. After all, a good defensive treasure could sometimes determine the outcome of a fight at critical moments.
mó ⊙
磨⊙
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan's expression turned firm. He extended his hand and a blank transmission talisman flew out.
yǔ wàn fú zōng de chōng tū yǐ dào le yī chù jí fā de dì bù 。
与万佛宗的冲突已到了一触即发的地步。
Bending down, he inserted his divine consciousness into the talisman. Once done, it was ready for him to record anything he wanted.
ér qiě cóng shuāng fāng de máo dùn lái shuō ， gēn běn jiù bù kě tiáo hé ， bú shì nǐ sǐ jiù shì wǒ huó 。
而且从双方的矛盾来说，根本就不可调和，不是你死就是我活。
Next, he raised his hand and the transmission talisman transformed into a fiery light, flying out of his cave abode.
suī rán zhè cì yīn cuò yáng chā ， chéng gōng yǔ wǔ sè líng qiū . jié méng ， dàn bìng bù biǎo shì jiù kě yǐ gāo
虽然这次阴错阳差，成功与五色灵丘.结盟，但并不表示就可以高
Of course, this was for the Peacock. He didn't know how long it would take to refine such a treasure, so he had to inform his beloved wife to avoid worrying her.
zhěn wú yōu ， tiān zhī dào nà xiē hé shàng huì bú huì yě qù zhǎo bāng shǒu 。
枕无忧，天知道那些和尚会不会也去找帮手。
After completing everything, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged again. Although refining the charm pill went smoothly, it still took up quite a bit of his energy.
zì jǐ rú jīn yǐ jìn jiē yuán yīng hòu qī ， shí lì zhī qiáng ， gèng yuǎn fēi tóng jiē xiū shì kě bǐ ， dàn lín xuān qīng chǔ ， jí jiāng dào lái de chōng tū ， zì jǐ shí yǒu ** huì miàn duì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě bǐ
自己如今已进阶元婴后期，实力之强，更远非同阶修士可比，但林轩清楚，即将到来的冲突，自己十有**会面对离合期修仙者匕
Lin Xuan adjusted his breathing and after about half an hour, his spirit returned to its best state.
bié kàn tā céng jīng miè shā guò xīn tōng ， bù jiǔ qián yuè ér yòu zhǎn xià le tiān liǔ shàng rén de tóu lú ， dàn ！ píng bù dài biǎo zì jǐ de shí lì jiù zhēn néng yǔ lí hé lǎo guài xiàng bǐ 。
别看他曾经灭杀过芯通，不久前月儿又斩下了天柳上人的头颅，但！萍不代表自己的实力就真能与离合老怪相比。
Then he flipped his left hand, and a shield appeared before him, radiating with dark light. The surface was covered in intricate patterns that looked like dragon scales.
huì tōng zhī suǒ p>L yǔn luò ， shì yīn wèi gāng gāng duó shě ， shí lì bìng wèi huī fù ， hé kuàng zì jǐ yě jǐn jǐn shì huǐ diào tā de ** bà le 。
慧通之所p>L陨落，是因为刚刚夺舍，实力并未恢复，何况自己也仅仅是毁掉他的**罢了。
Since acquiring this treasure, it had indeed helped Lin Xuan greatly. He felt a bit reluctant to discard it, but after re-refining it, he could still use it for quite some time.
zhì yú yuán yīng bèi shén me dōng xī miè chú ， zé gēn běn bù qīng chǔ ， zǒng zhī yǔ zì jǐ bàn diǎn guān xì yě wú 。
至于元婴被什么东西灭除，则根本不清楚，总之与自己半点关系也无。
Next, he took out various treasures from his storage bag. While the Black Dragon Shield and the玄龟 shell were fused, auxiliary materials would be needed.
zhì yú tiān shī shàng rén ， zé shì zì jǐ yǔ jiě jiě lián shǒu ， jiē zhe yòu yǒu yuè ér tōu xí zài hòu ， jí biàn rú cǐ ， zì jǐ yě shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， kě jiàn lí hé lǎo guài bìng bù hǎo duì fù 。
至于天狮上人，则是自己与姐姐联手，接着又有月儿偷袭在后，即便如此，自己也使尽浑身解数，可见离合老怪并不好对付。
He arranged everything neatly before finally taking out an jade box.
lín xuān zài xīn lǐ héng liáng chuǎi mó ， jiù shí lì lái shuō ， zì jǐ yǒu tōng tiān líng bǎo yǐ jí gè zhǒng mì · shù ， gōng jī lì dào bù bǐ lí hé xiū shì xùn sè shén me 。
林轩在心里衡量揣摩，就实力来说，自己有通天灵宝以及各种秘·术，攻击力倒不比离合修士逊色什么。
Opening the lid, a black object caught his eye.
dàn fáng yù jiù míng xiǎn bù zú ， qiān huàn wén wén dùn yǐ sòng gěi yuè wǔ dàng zuò lǐ wù ， bì yàn qí lín jiǎ lòu duì lí hé cún zài shí jiù shāo xián bù zú ，
但防御就明显不足，千幻蚊纹盾已送给月妩当作礼物，碧焰麒麟甲漏对离合存在时就稍嫌不足，
Of course, this was the ancient turtle's shell, originally as big as a small mountain. He didn't know what technique Immortal Fairy Yuanyan used to shrink it down to the size of a palm.
bù guò yě bìng fēi méi yǒu jiě jué zhī dào ， lái wǔ sè líng shān de shí hòu céng miè shā le nà shēn hǎi guī . yāo ， jiě jiě shuō guò ， cǐ guī de wài ké nǎi shì yī děng yī de fáng yù zhī bǎo 。
不过也并非没有解决之道，来五色灵山的时候曾灭杀了那深海龟.妖，姐姐说过，此龟的外壳乃是一等一的防御之宝。
The patterns on the shell were extremely complex; even with his broad knowledge from both the Daoist and demonic realms, he could only recognize about half of them.
jiǎng qí liàn chéng dùn pái zhī hòu ， jí biàn lí hé qī xiū shì de gōng jī yě néng yìng káng 。
蒋其炼成盾牌之后，即便离合期修士的攻击也能硬扛。
After observing for some time without success, Lin Xuan sighed softly. He waved his sleeve, and a small egg-sized flame flew out.
lín xuān zhǔn bèi jiāng tā jiāng róng rù wū jīn ， lóng jiǎ dùn lǐ miàn . chóng xīn hǎo hǎo jì liàn ·····
林轩准备将他将融入乌金，龙甲盾里面.重新好好祭炼·····
It was the Azure Illusory Mystic Fire.
rán ér xiǎng fǎ suī rán bù cuò ， yǔ wàn fú zōng de dà zhàn què yǐ lín jìn le ， shí jiān fēi cháng de jǐn pò 。
然而想法虽然不错，与万佛宗的大战却已临近了，时间非常的紧迫。
According to his sister's words, this shell was incredibly hard. Without his unique demonic flames, ordinary cultivators' infant fire might not be able to melt it at all.
lín xuān gù rán xiǎng yǔ lǎo pó ěr bìn sī mó ， dàn quán héng lì bì ， zēng qiáng shí lì bì jìng gèng jiā zhòng yào
林轩固然想与老婆耳鬓厮磨，但权衡利弊，增强实力毕竟更加重要
But with the Azure Illusory Mystic Fire, which was inherently toxic, and combined with the essence of the劫火 he obtained in Cloud Ridge Mountains, its power was formidable indeed.
← xiē 。
←些。
It took two days and two nights for the shell to finally show signs of melting. The surface began to glow, and silver-gray liquid droplets started seeping out.
liǎng qíng ruò shì cháng jiǔ shí ， yòu qǐ zài cháo zhāo mù mù 。
两情若是长久时，又岂在朝朝暮慕。
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed as he extended his right hand, grabbing a red powder from an jade bowl with a swift movement. His palm was enveloped in green light, then turned yellow, followed by red...
yì jù sú yǔ duì xiū xiān zhě lái shuō ， tóng yàng shì shì yòng de 。
逸句俗语对修仙者来说，同样是适用的。
The colors changed rapidly for about the time it took to drink tea.
zì jǐ yǔ kǒng què ruò néng jìn jiē dòng xuán ， zì rán kě yǐ zhǎng xiàng sī shǒu ， rú guǒ tān tú yī shí huān ： guì ， ér yǔn luò zài jí jiāng lái lín de dà zhàn lǐ ， nà qǐ bù shì dé bù cháng shī 。
自己与孔雀若能进阶洞玄，自然可以长相思守，如果贪图一时欢：桧，而陨落在即将来临的大战里，那岂不是得不偿失。
After thoroughly mixing his essence energy and the "Scorpion Powder," Lin Xuan waved his hand, and a red beam of light entered the shell.
lín xuān kě bù huì zuò zhè yàng de shǎ shì 『 jìng yě bú shì wēi yán sǒng tīng ， yào zhī dào yī jiàn hǎo de fáng xiè bǎo wù ， guān jiàn shí kè shì yǒu kě néng zhì biàn zhēng dòu shèng fù 。
林轩可不会做这样的傻事『迳也不是危言耸听，要知道一件好的防卸宝物，关键时刻是有可能致变争斗胜负。
Pfft...
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū jiān dìng zhī sè 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩脸上露出坚定之色。
A sound like water being poured into hot oil echoed in his ears as the silver-gray liquid droplets immediately boiled.
shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yī kòng bái de chuán yīn fú fēi lüè chū lái 。
伸手一拍，一空白的传音符飞掠出来。
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with excitement as he cast several more spells. After a moment, he picked up a piece of root-like material and added it to the mixture.
dī xià tou ， lín xuān jiāng shén chǎ jiàn rù qí zhōng 。 fán xī yǐ hòu ， jiù yǐ xiǎng yào kè lù de huà nòng hǎo le 。
低下头，林轩将神衩渐入其中。凡息以后，就椅想要刻录的话弄好了。
In cultivation, time seemed to pass differently, especially during treasure refinement.
suí hòu yī yáng shǒu ， chuán yīn fú huà wèi yī dào huǒ guāng fēi chū le dòng fǔ 。
随后一扬手，传音符化为一道火光飞出了洞府。
After countless days and nights, Lin Xuan finally slowly opened his eyes. All materials were used up, and a shield about the size of a palm floated before him.
bú yòng shuō ， shì gěi kǒng què de ， liàn zhì cǐ bǎo yě bù zhī dào yào huā duō shǎo shí jiān ， lín xuān dāng rán yào tōng zhī ài qī yī xià ， miǎn de tā dān jīng shòu pà 。
不用说，是给孔雀的，炼制此宝也不知道要花多少时间，林轩当然要通知爱妻一下，免得她担惊受怕。
It looked similar to the Black Dragon Shield but felt more solid and heavy. The surface was covered in intricate patterns and faint runes that suggested its power.
zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè hòu ， lín xuān chóng xīn pán yì zuò hǎo ， tí chún mèi huò tiān xuán dān suī rán shùn lì ， dàn .
做好这一切后，林轩重新盘臆坐好，提纯魅惑天玄丹虽然顺利，但.
Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled as he smiled with satisfaction. He waved his sleeve, and a short sword about a foot long appeared. "Quick!"
yě huā qù le tā bù shǎo jīng lì 。
也花去了他不少精力。
He pointed at it, and the green flame flashed, slicing forward like a gust of wind.
lín xuān dǎ zuò tiáo xī ， yuē bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， jīng qì shén yòu huī fù dào zuì jiā zhuàng tài le 。
林轩打坐调息，约半个时辰以后，精气神又恢复到最佳状态了。
A light clink sounded, and the green flame was easily bounced back. Lin Xuan took a deep breath and merged the Azure Illusory Mystic Fire with it.
suí hòu lín xuān zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yào yǎn ， yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de dùn pái fú xiàn zài le yǎn jí 。
随后林轩左手翻转，只见灵光耀眼，一巴掌大小的盾牌浮现在了眼辑。
The short sword, now wrapped in demonic flames, appeared before his eyes.
wū guāng shǎn shuò ， zài cǐ dùn de biǎo miàn ， hái yǒu wú shù gǔ guài tú àn .， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng lóng lín yì bān 。
乌光闪烁，在此盾的表面，还有无数古怪图案.，看上去就像龙鳞一般。
Among all his treasures, the Green Flame's offensive power was second only to divine artifacts. The Azure Illusory Mystic Fire's power was also formidable when combined.
lín xuān shēn shǒu qīng qīng mó shā . zì cóng dé dào cǐ bǎo ， tuō yě suàn wèi zì jǐ lì xià le bù shǎo hàn mǎ gōng láo ， ruò shì jiāng qí táo tài bù yòng ， lín xuān xīn zhōng ， hái zhēn yǒu jǐ fēn bù shě ， hǎo zài jiāng qí chóng xīn jì liàn yǐ hòu ， yòu kě yǐ bàn suí zì jǐ hěn zhǎng shí jiān 。
林轩伸手轻轻磨砂.自从得到此宝，扡也算为自己立下了不少汗马功劳，若是将其淘汰不用，林轩心中，还真有几分不舍，好在将其重新祭炼以后，又可以伴随自己很长时间。
"Go!" With Lin Xuan's mental command, a green blade of light sliced forward. A clear sound echoed as the Black Dragon Shield emitted a brilliant light on its own.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu cóng chǔ wù dài zhōng qǔ chū le lín lín zhǒng zhǒng shí yú yàng bǎo wù ， suī shuō shì níng wū jīn lóng ？ dùn yǔ xuán guī zhī ké róng hé ， dàn zì rán shì xū yào yī xiē fǔ zhù cái liào de 。
随后林轩又从储物袋中取出了林林种种十余样宝物，虽说是柠乌金龙？盾与玄龟之壳融合，但自然是需要一些辅助材料的。
A silver light curtain appeared, with runes flickering. That green blade struck hard and silently. Green and silver lights swirled continuously.
jiǎng zhè xiē dōng xī yī yī bǎi hǎo 。
蒋这些东西一一摆好。
This process lasted several seconds before Lin Xuan raised his hand again, and the Green Flame sword flew back.
zuì hòu lín xuān cái qǔ chū yí gè yù hé 。
最后林轩才取出一个玉盒。
There were some minor cracks on the surface of the silver light curtain, but Lin Xuan was extremely satisfied. Without his command, this treasure could instinctively block such a sharp attack. In battle, it should be able to withstand the divine techniques of an elder cultivator.
hé gài dǎ kāi ， yī hēi hū hū de shì wù jiá rù yǎn shěn 。
盒盖打开，一黑乎乎的事物蛱入眼审。
With this treasure and the Azure Mystic Fire Armor working together, Lin Xuan had more confidence in the upcoming battle.
bú yòng shuō ， zhè zì rán shì nà xuán guī gǔ shòu de wài ké ， yuán běn tǐ jī yǔ yī zuò xiǎo shān chà bu duō ， yě bù zhī dào rú yān xiān zi yòng le shén me shén tōng fǎ shù . dé qí yìng shēng shēng de suō dào bā zhǎng dà xiǎo le 。
不用说，这自然是那玄龟古兽的外壳，原本体积与一座小山差不多，也不知道如嫣仙子用了什么神通法术.得其硬生生的缩到巴掌大小了。
He waved his hand, and the silver light curtain vanished back into his palm.
guī ké shàng miàn de huā wén gèng shì xuán ào dào jí chù . yǐ lín xuān zhèng mó yāo jiān xiū ， jiàn shí guǎng bó ，.
龟壳上面的花纹更是玄奥到极处.以林轩正魔妖兼修，见识广博，.
After happily playing with it for a while, Lin Xuan stored it away in his storage bag.
yě zuì duō rèn chū shí zhī yī èr bà le 。
也最多认出十之一二罢了。
Standing up slowly, Lin Xuan shook his head. He walked out of his cave abode.
guān chá le yī huì er zhī hòu méi yǒu tóu xù ， lín xuān qīng qīng tàn le kǒu qì ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn fēi lüè ér chū 。
观察了一会儿之后没有头绪，林轩轻轻叹了口气，袖袍一拂，一团鸡蛋大小的火焰飞掠而出。
"Young Master, you finally came out."
hū de yī xià jiāng
呼的一下将
A clear voice greeted him as Moonlight rushed to his side.
guī ké bāo guǒ 。
龟壳包裹。
"I've been waiting for you," Lin Xuan said with a smile as he hugged her waist.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì bì huàn yōu huǒ 。
不用说，自然是碧幻幽火。
"The maidservant has been waiting here all this time."
zhào jiě jiě suǒ shuō ， zhè guī ké jiān yìng yǐ jí ， ruò bú shì zì jǐ xiū liàn de mó yán shí yǒu dú dào zhī mí ， pǔ tōng dà xiū shì de yīng huǒ néng fǒu jiāng zhì tuō róng liàn ， yī jiù hái shì liǎng shuō 。
照姐姐所说，这龟壳坚硬以极，若不是自己修炼的魔炎实有独到之谜，普通大修士的婴火能否将制扡熔炼，依旧还是两说。
"You worked hard." Lin Xuan pinched her nose: "By the way, how long did I spend in seclusion?"
ér bì huàn yōu huǒ bù tóng ， běn shēn jiù shì jué dú zhī wù ， yóu qí zài yún lǐng shān de shí hòu ， lín nòng chù dé dào jié huǒ zhī jīng ， fú qí róng hé ， wēi lì gèng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
而碧幻幽火不同，本身就是绝毒之物，尤其在云岭山的时候，林弄亍得到劫火之精，苻其融合，威力更是非同小可。
"About fifty days."
dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， yě zú zú huā le liǎng rì liǎng yè de gōng fu ， xuán guī zhī ké cái zhōng yú jiàn jiàn ěr le róng huà de jì xiàng ⊙
但饶是如此，也足足花了两日两夜的功夫，玄龟之壳才终于渐渐铒了融化的迹象⊙
"What? Fifty days, that's too long."
biǎo miàn kāi shǐ fā liàng ， bìng qiě yǒu yín huī sè de yè tài xiǎo zhū yī lì lì de shèn chū 。
表面开始发亮，并且有银灰色的液态小珠一粒粒的渗出。
"Yes, my lady carefully counted. It took three days to recover your essence energy, one day for refining the charm pills, and it was quite a while for the treasure refinement—forty-nine days in total." Moonlight counted her fingers as she spoke with a drowsy expression.
lín xuān méi shāo yī dòng ， shēn chū yòu shǒu 『 xū kōng yī zhuā ， yī zhuāng zài yù wǎn zhōng de hóng sè fěn mò dùn · chèn rú zhǎng sāi xī shuǐ yì bān ， luò rù le tā de zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
林轩眉梢一动，伸出右手『虚空一抓，一装在玉碗中的红色粉末顿·衬如长鳃吸水一般，落入了他的掌心里面。
This...
ér lín xuān de shǒu zhǎng ， zé bèi yī céng qīng sè de líng guāng bāo guǒ ， suí hòu yòu biàn chéng le huáng sè ， jǐn
而林轩的手掌，则被一层青色的灵光包裹，随后又变成了黄色，紧
Lin Xuan frowned. Nearly two months had passed, which wasn't much for cultivators but could lead to unforeseen changes under current circumstances. He didn't know if the Thousand Buddha Sect had taken any action or if Immortal Fairy Yuanyan was still in the Five Color Spirit Mountain.
· jiē zhe shì hóng sè ……
·接着是红色……
With this thought, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and released his divine consciousness. His expression changed dramatically after a moment.
jiù zhè yàng wǔ cǎi bān lán de biàn huà zhe 。
就这样五彩斑斓的变化着。
Confusion, doubt, shock, anxiety—various emotions appeared before him...
Lin Xuan's path to immortality was largely due to the Blue Star Sea Technique.
Moreover, not long ago, he had refined a charm pill once before, and this time it went even more smoothly. He managed to purify it into a middle-grade pill without much effort.
After half an hour, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the refined charm pill in front of him with satisfaction, then placed it inside a jade bottle in his hand.
His essence energy had recovered, and all the charm pills for YuanYuan were prepared. By rights, he should have left seclusion now, but a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"If two hearts are truly meant to be together, what does it matter if we don’t see each other every day?"

Next, he raised his hand and the transmission talisman transformed into a fiery light, flying out of his cave abode.
Of course, this was for the Peacock. He didn't know how long it would take to refine such a treasure, so he had to inform his beloved wife to avoid worrying her.
After completing everything, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged again. Although refining the charm pill went smoothly, it still took up quite a bit of his energy.

Next, he took out various treasures from his storage bag. While the Black Dragon Shield and the玄龟 shell were fused, auxiliary materials would be needed.
He arranged everything neatly before finally taking out an jade box.
Opening the lid, a black object caught his eye.
Of course, this was the ancient turtle's shell, originally as big as a small mountain. He didn't know what technique Immortal Fairy Yuanyan used to shrink it down to the size of a palm.
The patterns on the shell were extremely complex; even with his broad knowledge from both the Daoist and demonic realms, he could only recognize about half of them.
After observing for some time without success, Lin Xuan sighed softly. He waved his sleeve, and a small egg-sized flame flew out.
It was the Azure Illusory Mystic Fire.
According to his sister's words, this shell was incredibly hard. Without his unique demonic flames, ordinary cultivators' infant fire might not be able to melt it at all.
But with the Azure Illusory Mystic Fire, which was inherently toxic, and combined with the essence of the劫火 he obtained in Cloud Ridge Mountains, its power was formidable indeed.

A silver light curtain appeared, with runes flickering. That green blade struck hard and silently. Green and silver lights swirled continuously.
This process lasted several seconds before Lin Xuan raised his hand again, and the Green Flame sword flew back.
There were some minor cracks on the surface of the silver light curtain, but Lin Xuan was extremely satisfied. Without his command, this treasure could instinctively block such a sharp attack. In battle, it should be able to withstand the divine techniques of an elder cultivator.
With this treasure and the Azure Mystic Fire Armor working together, Lin Xuan had more confidence in the upcoming battle.
He waved his hand, and the silver light curtain vanished back into his palm.
After happily playing with it for a while, Lin Xuan stored it away in his storage bag.
Standing up slowly, Lin Xuan shook his head. He walked out of his cave abode.
"Young Master, you finally came out."
A clear voice greeted him as Moonlight rushed to his side.
"I've been waiting for you," Lin Xuan said with a smile as he hugged her waist.
"The maidservant has been waiting here all this time."
"You worked hard." Lin Xuan pinched her nose: "By the way, how long did I spend in seclusion?"
"About fifty days."
"What? Fifty days, that's too long."
"Yes, my lady carefully counted. It took three days to recover your essence energy, one day for refining the charm pills, and it was quite a while for the treasure refinement—forty-nine days in total." Moonlight counted her fingers as she spoke with a drowsy expression.
This...
Lin Xuan frowned. Nearly two months had passed, which wasn't much for cultivators but could lead to unforeseen changes under current circumstances. He didn't know if the Thousand Buddha Sect had taken any action or if Immortal Fairy Yuanyan was still in the Five Color Spirit Mountain.
With this thought, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and released his divine consciousness. His expression changed dramatically after a moment.
Confusion, doubt, shock, anxiety—various emotions appeared before him...
