“ nǐ yě xiǎng xiū liàn bì huàn yōu huǒ ？” lín xuān yī è ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè 。[]
“你也想修炼碧幻幽火？”林轩一愕，脸上不由得露出几分诧异之色。[]
"Also want to cultivate the Azure Illusionary Profound Flame?" Lin Xuan was taken aback, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.
“ bú shì bì huàn yōu huǒ ， nà zhǒng shén tōng shào yé yǐ jīng huì le ， bì gēn nǐ zài yì qǐ ， chóng fù xiū xí yòu yǒu hé yì yì ， wǒ shì xiǎng xué bié de mì shù ， dāng rán ， yào shì huǒ yàn yī lèi de 。” yuè ér yáo le yáo tóu ， yīng chún wēi qǐ de kāi kǒu 。
“不是碧幻幽火，那种神通少爷已经会了，婢跟你在一起，重复修习又有何意义，我是想学别的秘术，当然，要是火焰一类的。”月儿摇了摇头，樱唇微启的开口。
"Not that Azure Illusionary Profound Flame. The Young Master already knows such divine techniques. With me by your side, there's no point in repeating the cultivation. I want to learn other secret arts, naturally, if it involves flames." Yue'er shook her head and opened her cherry lips to speak.
“ zhè yòu yǒu shén me nán de ， rú guǒ wǒ suǒ liào méi cuò ， xiū luó zhēn jiě zhōng yīng gāi yǒu jì zǎi de ， bì jìng táng táng yīn sī zhī zhǔ ， qǐ huì méi xí guò lì hài de huǒ yàn mì shù 。” lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， bù yǐ wéi rán de shuō 。
“这又有什么难的，如果我所料没错，修罗真解中应该有记载的，毕竟堂堂阴司之主，岂会没习过厉害的火焰秘术。”林轩抬起头，不以为然的说。
"What's so hard about that? If my guess is correct, the True Explanation of Mordred should have records of it. After all, how could a High Lord of the Underworld not have practiced powerful flame secret arts?" Lin Xuan raised his head and said with an air of indifference.
“ xiū luó zhēn jiě zhōng huò xǔ yǒu ， bù guò bì yě shuō guò ， wǒ xiàn zài suǒ xiū xí de ， bù guò shì qí zhōng de pí máo bà le ， lǐ miàn bìng méi yǒu ……” yuè ér tàn le kǒu qì ， shēng yīn shī luò yǐ jí 。
“修罗真解中或许有，不过婢也说过，我现在所修习的，不过是其中的皮毛罢了，里面并没有……”月儿叹了口气，声音失落以极。
"Perhaps there are in the True Explanation of Mordred, but I also mentioned that what I'm cultivating now is just the tip of the iceberg. There's nothing..." Yue'er sighed, her voice filled with despair.
“ shǎ yā tou ， zhè yǒu shén me hǎo yù mèn de ， suǒ wèi chē dào shān qián bì yǒu lù ， xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， jì rán xiū luó zhēn jiě zhōng kěn dìng yǒu ， nà suí zhe nǐ xiū wèi tí shēng ， dào shí hòu zì rán shuǐ dào qú chéng ， xiàn zài huāng shén me ？” lín chē pāi le pāi yā tou de tóu ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì chǒng nì zhī sè de kāi kǒu zhōng 。
“傻丫头，这有什么好郁闷的，所谓车到山前必有路，心急吃不了热豆腐，既然修罗真解中肯定有，那随着你修为提升，到时候自然水到渠成，现在慌什么？”林车拍了拍丫头的头，脸上满是宠溺之色的开口中。
"Silly girl, why be so gloomy? As they say, when the car reaches the mountain, there must be a road. Haste makes waste. Since it's definitely in the True Explanation of Mordred, as your cultivation improves, you'll naturally achieve it. Why worry now?" Lin Xuan patted her head and spoke with an indulgent expression.
tīng lín xuān zhè me shuō ， yuè ér xīn qíng hǎo le xǔ duō ， zì jǐ què shí yǒu xiē tài xīn jí le 。
听林轩这么说，月儿心情好了许多，自己确实有些太心急了。
Hearing what Lin Xuan said, Yue'er felt much better. She had indeed been too anxious.
“ shào yé ， nǐ shén tōng dà chéng ， yuè ér zhè jiù qù zuò shàng jǐ gè cài ， hē shàng yī bēi ， hǎo hǎo qìng zhù qìng zhù 。”
“少爷，你神通大成，月儿这就去做上几个菜，喝上一杯，好好庆祝庆祝。”
"Young Master, since your divine techniques are complete, let me prepare a few dishes for us to celebrate."
bié shuō lí hé ， jiù suàn shì líng dòng qī xiū xiān zhě yě néng bì gǔ ， bù guò rén dōu shì yǒu qī qíng liù yù de ， ǒu ěr yě huì chī yī xiē hǎo chī de ， mǎn zú kǒu fù zhī yù yě bù cuò
别说离合，就算是灵动期修仙者也能辟谷，不过人都是有七情六欲的，偶尔也会吃一些好吃的，满足口腹之欲也不错
Even without reaching the Separation stage, even Flexible Spirit Period cultivators could dispense with food and drink. But people still have emotions and desires; occasionally indulging in some delicious food is also fine.
yuè ér jì rán yǒu xīn ， lín chē dāng rán bú huì jiǎo qíng ， hé kuàng suàn yī suàn ， sì hū hǎo jiǔ méi yǒu yǔ zhè yā tou qīn rè le 。
月儿既然有心，林车当然不会矫情，何况算一算，似乎好久没有与这丫头亲热了。
Since Yue'er was willing, Lin Xuan wouldn't be too fussy. Besides, it had been a while since he last enjoyed intimate moments with this girl.
rén shēng dé yì ， liáng chén měi jǐng ， shān zhēn hǎi wèi ， jué dài jiā rén ……
人生得意，良辰美景，山珍海味，绝代佳人……
Life is sweet when everything goes well, with beautiful scenery, exquisite delicacies, and stunning beauty...
xiū xiān suī rán xīn kǔ ， bù guò yōng yǒu zhè yī qiè yě dōu zhí le 。
修仙虽然辛苦，不过拥有这一切也都值了。
Although cultivation can be arduous, having all these still makes it worth it.
dāng rán ， lín xuān bú huì mǎn zú ， tā bù xiǎng qiān nián hòu huà wèi mù zhōng kū gǔ ， zhǐ yǒu yōng yǒu yǒng héng de shòu yuán cái néng yǔ xīn ài de rén zhǎng xiàng sī shǒu 。
当然，林轩不会满足，他不想千年后化为墓中枯骨，只有拥有永恒的寿元才能与心爱的人长相思守。
Of course, Lin Xuan wouldn't settle for less. He didn't want to turn into a mere skeleton in the grave after a thousand years. Only eternal longevity could allow him to stay by his beloved's side forever.
qián tú màn màn ， xū yào nǔ lì pīn bó ， dāng rán jīn wǎn ， kěn dìng shì rú chī rú zuì de tǎng zài le měi rén de huái zhōng ……
前途漫漫，需要努力拼搏，当然今晚，肯定是如痴如醉的躺在了美人的怀中……
The future was long and arduous, requiring hard work. But tonight, he certainly fell deeply asleep in the arms of beauty...
yī yè fēng liú ， dì èr tiān qǐ lái ， lín xuān hé yuè ér lüè lüè wēn cún zhī hòu ， jiù chóng xīn kāi shǐ gè zì de xiū liàn le 。
一夜风流，第二天起来，林轩和月儿略略温存之后，就重新开始各自的修炼了。
After an evening of passion, Lin Xuan and Yue'er had some tender moments before resuming their cultivation.
shuí shuō jìn jiē lí hé jiù wàn shì dà jí le 。
谁说进阶离合就万事大吉了。
Who said advancing to the Separation stage meant everything was fine?
xiāng fǎn ， zì jǐ xiàn zài de shí jiān fēi cháng jǐn pò ， jù lí xiū luó zhī mén kāi qǐ jǐn shèng xià sān shí yú nián le 。
相反，自己现在的时间非常紧迫，距离修罗之门开启仅剩下三十余年了。
On the contrary, his time was very tight. There were only about thirty years left until the Mordred Gate opened.
zhè diǎn shí jiān ， bù guò dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān 。
这点时间，不过弹指一挥间。
That brief period was just a blink of an eye.
rú guǒ shì yǐ qián ， lín xuān yě bù zài hū shén me bǎo wù ， kěn dìng shì jìng xià xīn lái ， màn màn xiū xíng ， yī bù yī gè jiǎo yìn de jìn jí 。
如果是以前，林轩也不在乎什么宝物，肯定是静下心来，慢慢修行，一步一个脚印的晋级。
If it had been in the past, Lin Xuan wouldn't have cared much about treasures and would have calmly cultivated step by step.
děng yǒu le lí hé hòu qī de shí lì ， zài xiǎng bàn fǎ fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù 。
等有了离合后期的实力，再想办法飞升到灵界去。
Once he reached late Separation stage strength, he could think about ascending to the Spirit Realm.
dàn cóng jiě jiě de kǒu lǐ ， lín xuān què dé zhī yǒu jié jìng kě rào kāi tiān jié ， zhí jiē fēi shēng dào líng jiè 。
但从姐姐的口里，林轩却得知有捷径可绕开天劫，直接飞升到灵界。
But from his sister's lips, Lin Xuan learned there was a shortcut to bypassing the heavenly tribulation and directly ascend to the Spirit Realm.
zhè yàng de hǎo shì ， bù zhī dào yě jiù bà le ， xiǎo de hái cuò guò ， nà jiǎn zhí yīng gāi mǎi kuài dòu fǔ zhuàng sǐ suàn le 。
这样的好事，不知道也就罢了，晓得还错过，那简直应该买块豆腐撞死算了。
Such good news, if he didn't know it, would be a waste. Missing out on such an opportunity was simply unacceptable.
yú shì lín xuān yǐ jīng dā yìng yǔ mèng rú yān lián shǒu ， dāng rán ， hái yǒu yuè ér nà yā tou 。
于是林轩已经答应与梦如嫣联手，当然，还有月儿那丫头。
Thus, Lin Xuan had already agreed to team up with Dream Ruyan, of course, including Yue'er that girl.
bù guò tōu dù yě bú shì yì diǎn wēi xiǎn yě wú ， qià qià xiāng fǎn ， tōng wǎng gǔ chuán sòng zhèn de lù shàng hái bù zhī dào yǒu duō shǎo wēi xiǎn mái fú 。
不过偷渡也不是一点危险也无，恰恰相反，通往古传送阵的路上还不知道有多少危险埋伏。
But sneaking through wasn't without risks. In fact, there were likely many hidden dangers along the path to the ancient teleportation array.
rán ér lín xuān bù zài hū ， suī rán ， tā yě yǒu bǎ wò xiàng wàng tíng lóu yī yàng jìn jiē dào lí hé hòu qī ， rán hòu yìng káng tiān jié fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù 。
然而林轩不在乎，虽然，他也有把握像望亭楼一样进阶到离合后期，然后硬扛天劫飞升到灵界去。
However, Lin Xuan didn't mind. Even if he could advance to late Separation stage like Wating Pavilion and endure the heavenly tribulation to ascend to the Spirit Realm, he shouldn't forget that cultivation was a race against time.
dàn bú yào wàng jì ， xiū xiān bù bù jīng jí ， běn lái jiù shì yǔ shí jiān zài sài pǎo 。
但不要忘记，修仙步步荆棘，本来就是与时间在赛跑。
The resources in the Spirit Realm were far superior to those on the mortal world. Saving time now would greatly benefit his future cultivation. Therefore, no matter what, Lin Xuan had to take this chance.
ér líng jiè bù lùn huán jìng hái shì xiū liàn zī yuán ， dōu yuǎn fēi rén jiè kě bǐ ， jié yuē xià lái de shí jiān duì yǐ hòu de xiū xíng dà yǒu bāng zhù ， suǒ yǐ wú lùn rú hé ， zhè ge jī huì ， lín xuān yě yào bó yī bó 。
而灵界不论环境还是修炼资源，都远非人界可比，节约下来的时间对以后的修行大有帮助，所以无论如何，这个机会，林轩也要搏一搏。
Although he possessed Blue Star Sea, cultivating at the Separation stage was too difficult. Even if he consumed medicinal pills like food for thirty years, it wouldn't be possible to advance further.
ér tā suī rán yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi ， kě lí hé qī xiū xíng tài guò jiān nán ， jiù suàn jiāng dān yào dāng fàn chī duǎn duǎn de sān shí duō nián yě bù kě néng zài jìn jí 。
而他虽然有蓝色星海，可离合期修行太过艰难，就算将丹药当饭吃短短的三十多年也不可能再晋级。
To strengthen his strength, there were only two paths: one, magical artifacts; and two, secret arts.
xiǎng yào jiā qiáng zì jǐ de shí lì ， tí zhī jìng jiè shì bù kě néng ， nà shèng xià jiù liǎng tiáo lù ， yī fǎ bǎo ， ér mì shù 。
想要加强自己的实力，提知境界是不可能，那剩下就两条路，一法宝，而秘术。
Firstly, regarding secret arts, by chance, he had obtained the Illusory Heavenly Flame. In the short term, enhancing its power was impossible. Now, what needed to be done was to master it thoroughly, believing it would help in future battles.
xiān shuō mì shù ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， ràng zì jǐ yōng yǒu le huàn líng tiān huǒ ， duǎn qī nèi xiǎng yào zài zēng qiáng wēi lì shì bù kě néng de ， rú jīn yào zuò de ， jiù shì xiān jiāng tā cāo kòng chún shú ， xiāng xìn duì wèi lái de zhàn dòu yǒu bāng zhù 。
先说秘术，机缘巧合，让自己拥有了幻灵天火，短期内想要再增强威力是不可能的，如今要做的，就是先将它操控纯熟，相信对未来的战斗有帮助。
Another thing that required cultivation was the secret art of Luo Tian Fa Xiang. However, such divine techniques were profound and couldn't be mastered overnight.
hái yǒu yì diǎn xū yào xiū xíng de jiù shì luó tiān fǎ xiǎng de mì shù ， bù guò zhè zhǒng shén tōng bó dà jīng shēn ， yě bú shì néng gòu yí cù ér jiù de 。
还有一点需要修行的就是罗天法想的秘术，不过这种神通博大精深，也不是能够一蹴而就的。
Haste makes waste. In these thirty years, he could only do his best.
xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， zhè sān shí duō nián ， néng liàn dào shén me dì bù jiù suàn shén me dì bù 。
心急吃不了热豆腐，这三十多年，能练到什么地步就算什么地步。
Lin Xuan reached out and took a jade cylinder from his pocket.
lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū le yí gè yù tǒng jiǎn 。
林轩伸手一拍，从怀中取出了一个玉筒简。
The style was ancient, slightly yellowed, indicating its long history.
shì yàng gǔ piáo ， yǒu xiē huáng ， yī kàn jiù shì nián dài jiǔ yuǎn zhī wù 。
式样古朴，有些黄，一看就是年代久远之物。
No doubt, it was an heirloom treasure of the Black Moon Clan.
bú yòng shuō ， shì mò yuè zú de chuán chéng bǎo wù 。
不用说，是墨月族的传承宝物。
He truly missed the Hundred Toxin God Group. If that old fellow had still been alive, he might have advanced to Separation stage as well. After all, his cultivation and talent were so extraordinary that they defied imagination—almost like a true immortal reborn. It was hard not to suspect that he was a reincarnation of an immaterial being.
lín xuān hái zhēn yǒu xiē xiǎng niàn bǎi dú shén qún lái zhe ， nà lǎo jiā huǒ ruò hái shì bèi hùn yuán lǎo zǔ àn suàn ， shēn shì bēi cǎn ， shuō bù dìng yě jìn jiē dào le lí hé ， bì jìng tā de xiū wèi tiān fù cái zhēn shì nì tiān dào qián wú gǔ rén ， hòu wú lái zhě ， ràng rén huái yí shì bú shì zhēn xiān zhuǎn shì le 。
林轩还真有些想念百毒神群来着，那老家伙若还是被混元老祖暗算，身世悲惨，说不定也进阶到了离合，毕竟他的修为天赋才真是逆天到前无古人，后无来者，让人怀疑是不是真仙转世了。
Shaking his head, Lin Xuan dispelled such thoughts and sank his divine sense into the jade cylinder.
yáo le yáo tóu ， lín xuān yīn kāi zhè máng miù de niàn tou ， jiāng shén shí chén rù yù tǒng 。
摇了摇头，林轩氤开这芒谬的念头，将神识沉入玉筒。
The secret arts passed down by the Black Moon Clan were truly extraordinary. The Azure Illusionary Profound Flame and True Spirit Strike had never let him down.
zhè mò yuè zú de chuán chéng mì shù ， zhēn de shì fēi tóng kě ， bù lùn bì huàn yōu huǒ hái shì zhēn líng yī jī dōu méi yǒu ràng zì jǐ shī wàng guò 。
这墨月族的传承秘术，真的是非同可，不论碧幻幽火还是真灵一击都没有让自己失望过。
Now that he had successfully advanced to Separation stage, it was reasonable to assume he could cultivate more profound secret arts.
rú jīn yǐ chéng gōng jìn jiē dào lí hé ， àn lǐ shuō ， yīng gāi kě yǐ xiū liàn gèng wéi gāo shēn de mì shù
如今已成功进阶到离合，按理说，应该可以修炼更为高深的秘术
But soon, Lin Xuan raised his head with a strange expression on his face.
kě hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù zhāo qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī qí guài zhī sè 。
可很快，林轩就招起头颅，脸上闪过一丝奇怪之色。
After sinking his divine sense in, there was nothing but emptiness. Apart from the cultivation methods of the Azure Illusionary Profound Flame and True Spirit Strike, everything else was absent.
tā chén rù shén shí yǐ hòu ， lǐ miàn yī piàn xū wú ， chú le bì huàn yōu huǒ yǔ zhēn líng yī jī de xiū liàn zhī fǎ ， shén me yě méi yǒu 。
他沉入神识以后，里面一片虚无，除了碧幻幽火与真灵一击的修炼之法，什么也没有。
Impossible. Could it be that he had successfully advanced without meeting the requirements for new divine techniques?
bù kě néng ， nán dào zì jǐ yǐ chéng gōng jìn jí ， hái shì méi dá dào xiū liàn xīn shén tōng de yāo qiú 。
不可能，难道自己已成功晋级，还是没达到修炼新神通的要求。
This was absurd!
zhè jiǎn zhí huāng miù ！
这简直荒谬！
Lin Xuan delved into his divine sense again, spending a good meal's time before finally raising his head. His face showed more than just resignation; there was also a hint of gloom.
lín xuān bù gān xīn de jiāng shén shí qí zhōng 。
林轩不甘心的将神识其中。
After a long while, Lin Xuan sighed and rubbed his nose. Although unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that his current divine sense wasn't sufficient for cultivating the next secret arts.
zú zú guò le yī dùn fàn de gōng fu ， tā tái qǐ tóu ， zhè cì liǎn shàng chú le wú nài zhī chù ， gèng duō le jǐ fēn yīn mái 。
足足过了一顿饭的功夫，他抬起头，这次脸上除了无奈之处，更多了几分阴霾。
He could only put it aside for now.
liáng jiǔ ， lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， róu le róu bí zi ， suī rán bù gān xīn ， dàn tā bù dé bù chéng rèn gū jì yǒu wù ， yǐ zì jǐ xiàn zài de shén shí ， hái bù zú yǐ xiū liàn jiē xià lái de mì shù 。
良久，林轩叹了口气，揉了揉鼻子，虽然不甘心，但他不得不承认估计有误，以自己现在的神识，还不足以修炼接下来的秘术。
For another day.
zhǐ hǎo zàn qiě zuò bà le 。
只好暂且作罢了。
It seemed there were no secret arts that could be quickly improved in the short term. The other path was magical artifacts.
yǐ hòu zài shuō 。
以后再说。
Although the Mordred Sword had unparalleled power, and the Hundred Birds Bell was a spirit treasure with auxiliary effects, mastering the Profound Art of Communication wasn't urgent either.
sì hū méi yǒu shén me mì shù duǎn shí jiān nèi yǒu tí shēng de kōng jiān ， nà lìng yī tiáo lù ， jiù shì dǎ fǎ bǎo de zhǔ yì 。
似乎没有什么秘术短时间内有提升的空间，那另一条路，就是打法宝的主意。
After fusing with the Heavenly Moon Crystal, the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring's power had increased significantly. However, to Lin Xuan, it still felt like a half-baked solution. Honestly, he was starting to think about switching to another magical artifact.
mó yuán jiàn qiě bù shuō ， wēi lì wú yǐ lún bǐ 。 bǎi líng zhōng suī rán yě shì líng bǎo ， dàn jù yǒu de què shì fǔ zhù xiào guǒ ， xiū liàn tōng bǎo jué yě bù jí yú yī shí de 。
魔缘剑且不说，威力无以伦比。百灵钟虽然也是灵宝，但具有的却是辅助效果，修炼通宝诀也不急于一时的。
These couldn't be improved in the short term either. The only option left was the Spirit Bee, Yu Luo Feng.
róng hé tiān yuè shuǐ jīng yǐ hòu ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán de wēi lì tí shēng le xǔ duō ， bù guò duì lín xuān lái jiǎng ， yī jiù yǒu xiē jī lèi ， píng xīn lái jiǎng ， tā dōu yǒu diǎn xiǎng huàn pèi hé fǎ bǎo le 。
融合天月水晶以后，九天明月环的威力提升了许多，不过对林轩来讲，依旧有些鸡肋，平心来讲，他都有点想换配合法宝了。
If only they could mature faster.
zhè xiē duǎn qī nèi sì hū yě hěn nán tí shēng ， nà me shèng xià lái de jiù shì yù luó fēng zhè zhǒng líng chóng 。
这些短期内似乎也很难提升，那么剩下来的就是玉罗蜂这种灵虫。
With this thought, Lin Xuan reached out and another jade cylinder appeared before him.
rú guǒ kě yǐ cuī shú jiù hǎo le 。
如果可以催熟就好了。
It emitted a faint golden glow, clearly something extraordinary.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yòu yí gè yù tǒng jiǎn fú xiàn zài le shēn qián 。
心中如此想着，林轩伸手一拍，又一个玉筒简浮现在了身前。
The Art of Controlling Insects.
sàn zhe dàn jīn sè de guāng zé ， yī kàn jiù yǒu dà yì yú pǔ tōng zhī wù 。
散着淡金色的光泽，一看就有大异于普通之物。
Despite its value, compared to the Supreme Spirit Treasure, it was almost on par.
yù chóng xīn dé 。
御虫心得。
Lin Xuan sank his divine sense into it, hoping to find any part related to Yu Luo Feng and see if there was a way to accelerate its maturation.
bú yào kàn zhè bǎo wù ， qí jià zhí yǔ tōng tiān líng bǎo xiāng bǐ ， jī hū yě shì bù chěng duō ràng de 。
不要看这宝物，其价值与通天灵宝相比，几乎也是不逞多让的。
But just as he delved into his divine sense, Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched as if sensing something. He looked up.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù ， xiǎng yào xún zhǎo dào yǔ yù luó fēng yǒu guān de bù fèn ， kàn yǒu méi yǒu bàn fǎ jiāng qí cuī shú 。
林轩将神识沉入，想要寻找到与玉罗峰有关的部分，看有没有办法将其催熟。
"Why is Ying'er here? Could something be wrong with the Pavilion of Cultivating Virtue?" Thinking this, Lin Xuan stood from his meditation cushion without sitting down.
"Also want to cultivate the Azure Illusionary Profound Flame?" Lin Xuan was taken aback, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.
"Not that Azure Illusionary Profound Flame. The Young Master already knows such divine techniques. With me by your side, there's no point in repeating the cultivation. I want to learn other secret arts, naturally, if it involves flames." Yue'er shook her head and opened her cherry lips to speak.
"What's so hard about that? If my guess is correct, the True Explanation of Mordred should have records of it. After all, how could a High Lord of the Underworld not have practiced powerful flame secret arts?" Lin Xuan raised his head and said with an air of indifference.
"Perhaps there are in the True Explanation of Mordred, but I also mentioned that what I'm cultivating now is just the tip of the iceberg. There's nothing..." Yue'er sighed, her voice filled with despair.

Hearing what Lin Xuan said, Yue'er felt much better. She had indeed been too anxious.
"Young Master, since your divine techniques are complete, let me prepare a few dishes for us to celebrate."
Even without reaching the Separation stage, even Flexible Spirit Period cultivators could dispense with food and drink. But people still have emotions and desires; occasionally indulging in some delicious food is also fine.
Since Yue'er was willing, Lin Xuan wouldn't be too fussy. Besides, it had been a while since he last enjoyed intimate moments with this girl.
Life is sweet when everything goes well, with beautiful scenery, exquisite delicacies, and stunning beauty...
Although cultivation can be arduous, having all these still makes it worth it.
Of course, Lin Xuan wouldn't settle for less. He didn't want to turn into a mere skeleton in the grave after a thousand years. Only eternal longevity could allow him to stay by his beloved's side forever.
The future was long and arduous, requiring hard work. But tonight, he certainly fell deeply asleep in the arms of beauty...
After an evening of passion, Lin Xuan and Yue'er had some tender moments before resuming their cultivation.
Who said advancing to the Separation stage meant everything was fine?
On the contrary, his time was very tight. There were only about thirty years left until the Mordred Gate opened.
That brief period was just a blink of an eye.
If it had been in the past, Lin Xuan wouldn't have cared much about treasures and would have calmly cultivated step by step.

The secret arts passed down by the Black Moon Clan were truly extraordinary. The Azure Illusionary Profound Flame and True Spirit Strike had never let him down.
Now that he had successfully advanced to Separation stage, it was reasonable to assume he could cultivate more profound secret arts.
But soon, Lin Xuan raised his head with a strange expression on his face.
After sinking his divine sense in, there was nothing but emptiness. Apart from the cultivation methods of the Azure Illusionary Profound Flame and True Spirit Strike, everything else was absent.
Impossible. Could it be that he had successfully advanced without meeting the requirements for new divine techniques?
This was absurd!
Lin Xuan delved into his divine sense again, spending a good meal's time before finally raising his head. His face showed more than just resignation; there was also a hint of gloom.
After a long while, Lin Xuan sighed and rubbed his nose. Although unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that his current divine sense wasn't sufficient for cultivating the next secret arts.
He could only put it aside for now.
For another day.
It seemed there were no secret arts that could be quickly improved in the short term. The other path was magical artifacts.
Although the Mordred Sword had unparalleled power, and the Hundred Birds Bell was a spirit treasure with auxiliary effects, mastering the Profound Art of Communication wasn't urgent either.
After fusing with the Heavenly Moon Crystal, the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring's power had increased significantly. However, to Lin Xuan, it still felt like a half-baked solution. Honestly, he was starting to think about switching to another magical artifact.
These couldn't be improved in the short term either. The only option left was the Spirit Bee, Yu Luo Feng.
If only they could mature faster.
With this thought, Lin Xuan reached out and another jade cylinder appeared before him.
It emitted a faint golden glow, clearly something extraordinary.
The Art of Controlling Insects.
Despite its value, compared to the Supreme Spirit Treasure, it was almost on par.
Lin Xuan sank his divine sense into it, hoping to find any part related to Yu Luo Feng and see if there was a way to accelerate its maturation.
But just as he delved into his divine sense, Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched as if sensing something. He looked up.
"Why is Ying'er here? Could something be wrong with the Pavilion of Cultivating Virtue?" Thinking this, Lin Xuan stood from his meditation cushion without sitting down.
