rán ér zhè bù néng yuàn tiān yóu dì ， zhǐ néng guài zǐ yuàn cǎo de chéng shú zhōu qī shí zài màn cháng wú bǐ ， zú zú xū yào èr shí wàn nián 。
然而这不能怨天尤地，只能怪紫苑草的成熟周期实在漫长无比，足足需要二十万年。
However, this could not be blamed on the heavens or earth; only the maturation cycle of Purple Orchid Grass was truly endless, taking an entire two hundred thousand years.
huāng shān dà zé zhī zhōng ， jiù suàn yǒu zhè yàng de líng wù ， yě zǎo bèi gǔ xiū shì men zhāi qǔ 。
荒山大泽之中，就算有这样的灵物，也早被古修士们摘取。
In the vast wilderness, such spiritual creatures would have long been picked by ancient cultivators.
rán ér xiān dào gù rán jiān nán wú bǐ ， yí gè rén de xiū xíng chú le nǔ lì ， yǒu shí hòu yě yào kào yùn qì 。
然而仙道固然艰难无比，一个人的修行除了努力，有时候也要靠运气。
Despite the difficulty of the immortal path, sometimes one's cultivation depended on luck as much as effort. Lin Xuan happened to find himself in this independent space where Purple Orchid Grass had already matured and was over a million years old.
lín xuān piān piān jiù jī yuán qiǎo hé ， lái dào zhè dú lì kōng jiān zhī zhōng 。
林轩偏偏就机缘巧合，来到这独立空间之中。
He only needed to refine it into an immortal pill.
lǐ miàn de zǐ yuàn cǎo bù jǐn zǎo jiù chéng shú ， ér qiě shì shēng zhǎng le jìn bǎi wàn nián de líng wù 。
里面的紫苑草不仅早就成熟，而且是生长了近百万年的灵物。
Purple Death Pill required more than just Purple Orchid Grass; however, the other auxiliary materials were easily gathered besides that.
tā zhǐ xū yào jiāng qí liàn zhì chéng xiān dān jiù yì le 。
他只需要将其炼制成仙丹就异了。
Apart from meditating, Lin Xuan spent most of his time refining pills. Of course, he would also enjoy intimate moments with Yue'er sometimes, as everyone had their desires and needs. Dual cultivation should not be indulged in, but moderate enjoyment could benefit both body and cultivation, deepening the bond between them.
zǐ bì dān ， suǒ xū dí dàng rán bù zhǐ zhè yī zhǒng yuán liào ， dàn chú le zǐ bì cǎo ， qí tā de fǔ zhù zhī wù ， dōu fēi cháng róng yì còu qí 。
紫毙丹，所需的当然不止这一种原料，但除了紫毙草，其他的辅助之物，都非常容易凑齐。
In the practice room, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, alone in a large space while Yue'er was elsewhere meditating. After all, being together might influence each other. Cultivation was no small matter; external interference during energy manipulation could lead to disaster.
lín xuān chú le dǎ zuò ， dà bù fèn de shí jiān dōu huā zài liàn dān shàng le 。
林轩除了打坐，大部分的时间都花在炼丹上了。
At this moment, Lin Xuan's face was grave as he suspended an ancient-looking Purple Dragon Cauldron before him. The cauldron was not large but had a beautiful purple hue with carvings of a lifelike divine dragon on its surface.
dāng rán yǒu shí hòu ， yě huì hé yuè ér xiǎng shòu yī xià guī fáng zhī lè ， bì jìng rén dōu yǒu qī qíng liù yù ， shuāng xiū bù néng chén nì ， dàn shì dàng de huà ， duì shēn tǐ ， duì xiū xíng ， dū huì yǒu zhù yì ． ér qiě yě néng jiā shēn liǎng rén zhī jiān de gǎn qíng 。
当然有时候，也会和月儿享受一下闺房之乐，毕竟人都有七情六欲，双修不能沉溺，但适当的话，对身体，对修行，都会有助益．而且也能加深两人之间的感情。
Purple Dragon Cauldron!
liàn gōng fáng 。
练功房。
The origin of this treasure was somewhat related to Ouyang Qinxin, though Lin Xuan felt sad and did not dare to be distracted. Even with his Blue Star Sea within him, he would not casually refine the pill without proper precautions.
lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， ruò dà de fáng jiān zhōng ， zhǐ yǒu tā gū líng líng de shēn yǐng yí gè ， yuè ér qù qí tā de dì fāng xiū xíng dǎ zuò 。
林轩盘膝而坐，偌大的房间中，只有他孤零零的身影一个，月儿去其他的地方修行打坐。
Purification required certain conditions. At present, a green flame enveloped the Purple Dragon Cauldron, but this was not Lin Xuan's Mystic Flame Secret Art; it was his century-old infant fire that he had cultivated diligently for many years.
bì jìng liǎng rén yì qǐ ， bǐ cǐ zhī jiān duō shǎo shì huì yǒu yǐng xiǎng dì 。
毕竟两人一起，彼此之间多少是会有影响地。
As an advanced cultivator of late-stage元婴, its power was formidable, making it suitable for refining pills without any issues.
xiū xiān kě shì dà yì bù dé ， yùn zhuàn fǎ lì zuì jì wài lì gān rǎo le ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， jiù huì zǒu huǒ 。
修仙可是大意不得，运转法力最忌外力干扰了，一不小心，就会走火。
Indeed, Lin Xuan did this out of necessity. While the independent space was rich in qi, there were no resources like earthfire. Unlike Hundred Grass Pills, Purple Death Pill required strict materials but was not particularly difficult to refine. With his Blue Star Sea as support and his excellent pill refinement technique, he carefully manipulated the cauldron.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè ， ér zài tā de shēn qián sān chǐ zhī chù ， zé xuán fú zhe yí gè dǐng lú 。
此时此刻，林轩脸上满是凝重之色，而在他的身前三尺之处，则悬浮着一个鼎炉。
The Purple Dragon Cauldron swayed as Lin Xuan continuously cast spells and occasionally spat out infant fire from his mouth. His infant fire's color was peculiar, sometimes resembling vibrant green bamboo, other times darkening like ink. At one point, it even turned into a rainbow hue, clearly not infant fire but the fiery essence of a demon pill.
cǐ dǐng bù dà ， rán ér què zào xíng gǔ yǎ ， tōng tǐ zǐ sè ， biǎo miàn hái diāo kè zhe yī tóu shén lóng ， xǔ xǔ rú shēng 。
此鼎不大，然而却造型古雅，通体紫色，表面还雕刻着一头神龙，栩栩如生。
This pill was different from a cultivator's golden core; its realm could match mid-stage元婴 cultivators, so its power did not fall short. Lin Xuan's posture was ancient and sometimes even emitted runes that flew into the cauldron slowly yet swiftly. The Purple Dragon Cauldron shimmered as if lightning and thunder were heard within.
zǐ lóng dǐng ！
紫龙鼎！
Lin Xuan's face remained unchanged as he adjusted his spells and infant fire's position and intensity. Time passed slowly...
shuō qǐ cǐ bǎo de lái lì ， hái yǔ ōu yáng qín xīn yǒu yī xiē guān xì 。
说起此宝的来历，还与欧阳琴心有一些关系。
From when Lin Xuan added the first Purple Orchid Grass to the cauldron, it had been three days and nights without sleep or rest. Even a commoner would have exhausted themselves by now, but as a late-stage元婴 cultivator, this fatigue was nothing. Lin Xuan remained energetic, showing no signs of tiredness.
dāng rán ， lín xuān suī yǒu xiē shāng gǎn ， què yě bù gǎn fēn xīn páng gù ， jiù suàn tā tǐ nèi yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi ， zhè dān yě bú shì xiǎng zěn me liàn ， jiù háo wú gù jì de luàn liàn 。
当然，林轩虽有些伤感，却也不敢分心旁顾，就算他体内有蓝色星海，这丹也不是想怎么炼，就毫无顾忌的乱炼。
After about an hour, a faint rumbling sound filled the air, along with a stronger pill aroma. Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy; it seemed that without purification, Purple Orchid Pill could still be successfully refined. He smiled, thinking how this was worth celebrating.
tí chún duō shǎo hái shì yǒu yī xiē qián tí tiáo jiàn 。
提纯多少还是有一些前提条件。
Indeed, this was cause for celebration—saving trouble and improving the quality of the pills compared to those refined from waste pills using his Blue Star Sea. However, if further purified into middle-grade pills with the star sea, their effects would far surpass directly refined low-grade pills.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nà zǐ lóng dǐng bèi yī tuán qīng sè de huǒ yàn bāo guǒ ， zhè kě bú shì lín xuān de mó yán mì shù ， ér shì tā kǔ xiū bǎi nián de yīng huǒ 。
此时此刻，那紫龙鼎被一团青色的火焰包裹，这可不是林轩的魔炎秘术，而是他苦修百年的婴火。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan carefully controlled the fire's intensity, ready for the pill to form fully. He did not want to end up with a failed attempt. Another two hours passed.
zuò wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， wēi lì yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhì shǎo liàn dān shì jué duì méi yǒu wèn tí de 。
做为元婴后期的大修仙者，威力也是非同小可，至少炼丹是绝对没有问题的。
The surface of the Purple Dragon Cauldron glowed green as strange patterns appeared and vanished.
dāng rán ， lín xuān zhè me zuò ， yě shì pò bù dé yǐ ， zhè dú lì kōng jiān líng qì gù rán nóng mì ， rán ér dì huǒ zī yuán què shì méi yǒu dì 。
当然，林轩这么做，也是迫不得以，这独立空间灵气固然浓密，然而地火资源却是没有地。
Rotating and flickering, they quickly dissipated like bubbles.
yǔ bǎi cǎo dān bù tóng ， zhè zǐ bì dān suǒ xū yào de cái liào suī rán yě hěn kē kè ， dàn běn shēn què suàn bù shàng duō me nán yǐ liàn zhì de 。
与百草丹不同，这紫毙丹所需要的材料虽然也很苛刻，但本身却算不上多么难以炼制的。
"What is this...?"
lín xuān suī rán yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi zuò hòu dùn ， dàn liàn dān shù qí shí yě shì hěn bú cuò de 。
林轩虽然有蓝色星海做后盾，但炼丹术其实也是很不错的。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he first looked surprised, then showed both surprise and joy. The appearance of an anomaly was a sign that a precious treasure had emerged. This Purple Orchid Pill truly was extraordinary.
zhǐ jiàn nà zǐ lóng dǐng xú xú piāo fú ， lín xuān zé bù shí yī dào yòu yī dào de fǎ jué dǎ chū ． shí ér zhāng kāi kǒu ， pēn chū yīng huǒ 。
只见那紫龙鼎徐徐漂浮，林轩则不时一道又一道的法诀打出．时而张开口，喷出婴火。
It seemed the ancient texts were correct; with such rich qi in this space, advancing to the peak of late-stage元婴 should not take long.
tā yīng huǒ de yán sè yě gǔ guài yǐ jí ， shí ér rú cháng qīng de cuì zhú ， bì lǜ yù dī ， shí ér yán sè yòu àn dàn xià qù ， yán sè nóng mì yǒu ruò mò zhī ， gèng yǒu shèn zhě ， zuì hòu jìng biàn chéng le wǔ cǎi de yán sè ， bú yòng shuō ， nà yǐ bú shì yīng huǒ ， ér shì yāo dān de dān huǒ le 。
他婴火的颜色也古怪以极，时而如长青的翠竹，碧绿欲滴，时而颜色又黯淡下去，颜色浓密有若墨汁，更有甚者，最后竟变成了五彩的颜色，不用说，那已不是婴火，而是妖丹的丹火了。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan remained vigilant. As the pill aroma grew stronger, a soft sound echoed as the lid of the cauldron rose on its own. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he cast a spell without hesitation.
dāng rán ， cǐ dān yǔ xiū shì jīn dān wán quán bù tóng ， jiù jìng jiè lái shuō ， kān bǐ yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， suǒ yǐ dān huǒ de wēi lì bìng bù bǐ gāng gāng xùn sè 。
当然，此丹与修士金丹完全不同，就境界来说，堪比元婴中期的修仙者，所以丹火的威力并不比刚刚逊色。
Three feet above the cauldron, the air rippled like waves before a green霞flared out, enveloping and gently carrying the cauldron to his side.
lín xuān de zī shì gèng shì gǔ piáo ， yǒu shí hòu shèn zhì hái yǒu fú wén cóng tā de zhǐ jiān fēi shè ér chū ， shì huǎn shí jí de mò rù dǐng lú 。
林轩的姿势更是古朴，有时候甚至还有符文从他的指尖飞射而出，似缓实急的没入鼎炉。
The pill aroma was intense but not overwhelming; it felt pleasant to breathe in. Lin Xuan took deep breaths, then with no further action, the green霞dispersed.
zǐ lóng dǐng zé yáo yè bù yǐ ， yǒu shí hòu dǐng lú nèi jìng fā chū diàn shǎn léi míng bān de shēng yīn 。
紫龙鼎则摇曳不已，有时候鼎炉内竟发出电闪雷鸣般的声音。
He reached out and snapped his fingers, summoning an jade bottle that appeared before him. He poured the refined pills inside.
lín xuān tīng zài ěr zhōng ， liǎn shàng què háo bù biàn sè ， bù shí tiáo zhěng zhāo fǎ jué yǔ yīng huǒ de fāng wèi yǔ qiáng dù 。
林轩听在耳中，脸上却毫不变色，不时调整着法诀与婴火的方位与强度。
These pills were about the size of a dragon's eye, pale purple in color. Lin Xuan picked up one, examining it closely.
shí jiān jiù zhè yàng màn màn de guò qù le ……
时间就这样慢慢的过去了……
"Master, is this book you're typing Purple Orchid Pill?" The soft footsteps approached, and without turning around, Lin Xuan knew it was Yue'er.
cóng lín xuān jiāng dì yī zhū zǐ bì cǎo jiā rù dǐng lú ， suàn suàn ， yǐ zú zú shì sān tiān sān yè de gōng fu 。
从林轩将第一株紫毙草加入鼎炉，算算，已足足是三天三夜的功夫。
Although they had consummated their relationship, calling each other by their names remained a formality. After all, titles were just nicknames; even with their consummation, Lin Xuan never truly treated her as a servant.
bù mián bù xiū ， hái yào jīng shén guān zhù de zhào gù dǐng lú ， rú guǒ shì fán rén ， jí biàn méi yǒu lèi sǐ ， kǒng pà yě yǐ jīng tǐ lì tòu zhī 。
不眠不休，还要精神关注的照顾鼎炉，如果是凡人，即便没有累死，恐怕也已经体力透支。
He loved her, and for Yue'er, he would have fought against true immortals.
rán ér zuò wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， zhè yì diǎn pí láo zé bù suàn shén me ， lín xuān yī jiù shén cǎi yì yì ， cóng tā liǎn shàng ， kàn bú dào yī sī pí juàn de qíng xù 。
然而做为元婴后期的修仙者，这一点疲劳则不算什么，林轩依旧神采奕奕，从他脸上，看不到一丝疲倦的情绪。
"It's correct," said Lin Xuan, smiling.
However, this could not be blamed on the heavens or earth; only the maturation cycle of Purple Orchid Grass was truly endless, taking an entire two hundred thousand years.
In the vast wilderness, such spiritual creatures would have long been picked by ancient cultivators.
