ruò shì xiū wèi shāo dī ， kǒng pà lǐ jiě dōu chéng wèn tí 。
若是修为稍低，恐怕理解都成问题。
If the cultivation level was slightly lower, understanding it would have been a problem.
bù guò lín xuān rú jīn yǐ shì lí hé zhōng qī de xiū shì ， qiě suǒ xué guǎng bó ， zì rán bú huì cún zài zhè
不过林轩如今已是离合中期的修士，且所学广博，自然不会存在这
However, Lin Xuan was now an中期 Cultivator of the Separation and Union stage, with extensive knowledge. Thus, he wouldn't face such issues. Nevertheless, he could only decipher one character at a time.
gè wèn tí de ， dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， tā yě zhǐ néng yí gè zì yí gè zì de cān wù 。
个问题的，但饶是如此，他也只能一个字一个字的参悟。
It took nearly half a month to fully understand a thousand-word treatise called the Treasure Key.
duǎn duǎn yī piān qiān yú yán de tōng bǎo jué ， zú zú huā fèi le jìn bàn yuè de gōng fu ， lín xuān cái zǒng
短短一篇千余言的通宝诀，足足花费了近半月的功夫，林轩才总
"Phew!"
suàn shì lǐ jiě tòu chè 。
算是理解透彻。
Lin Xuan raised his head and let out a breath, his expression filled with joy.
“ hū !”
“呼!”
This was indeed a treasure. The Ten Thousand Soul Tower was even more mysterious than he had imagined. It could be used to raise various spirit beasts and insects, promoting their essence cultivation and maturation.
lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， chū le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què shì kuáng xǐ 。
林轩抬起头颅，出了口气，脸上的表情却是狂喜。
Moreover, it also worked on阴魂 ghost entities in the same way.
zhè yī cì ， hái zhēn shì jiǎn dào le bǎo wù ， zhè wàn hún tǎ bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， hái yào xuán miào dé
这一次，还真是捡到了宝物，这万魂塔比自己想象的，还要玄妙得
The tower was divided into seven levels with different functions.
duō ， gǔ kě yǐ yòng lái sì yǎng gè zhǒng líng shòu líng chóng ， jù yǒu yǎng yuán cuī shú de zuò yòng 。
多，牯可以用来饲养各种灵兽灵虫，具有养元催熟的作用。
What surprised Lin Xuan further was that only a part of this treatise he saw now existed. The Treasure Key had seven layers corresponding to the tower's levels. By practicing one layer of the treatise, one could unlock a level of the tower. Currently, all he possessed were the first three layers.
bù jǐn rú cǐ ， duì yú yīn hún guǐ wù ， yě yǒu tóng yàng de xiào guǒ 。
不仅如此，对于阴魂鬼物，也有同样的效果。
No wonder Elder Heavenly Ant said it contained divine treasures and ranked among the top. This indeed proved his words weren't exaggerated.
tǎ fēn qī céng ， zuò yòng gè bù xiāng tóng 。
塔分七层，作用各不相同。
Speaking of these divine treasures, they also had different grades.
ér gèng ràng lín xuān jīng è de shì ， cǐ kè suǒ kàn jiàn de tōng bǎo jué ， yě jǐn jǐn shì bù fèn 。
而更让林轩惊愕的是，此刻所看见的通宝诀，也仅仅是部分。
The differences between various treasures were significant, but Lin Xuan wasn’t entirely clear on how to categorize them yet. He only vaguely read about it in some ancient texts.
tōng bǎo jué gòng fēn qī céng ， yǔ cǐ tǎ de céng shù xiāng duì yīng ， měi xiū liàn yī céng tōng bǎo jué ， jiù kě
通宝诀共分七层，与此塔的层数相对应，每修炼一层通宝诀，就可
For now, he didn't need to worry about that; he would deal with it later.
yǐ dǎ kāi cǐ tǎ de yī céng ， ér cǐ kè zì jǐ shǒu zhōng suǒ yǒu de ， bù guò jǐn jǐn shì qián sān céng 。
以打开此塔的一层，而此刻自己手中所有的，不过仅仅是前三层。
First, he needed to practice.
guài bù dé tiān yǐ shàng rén shuō ， cǐ tǎ cún tōng tiān líng bǎo zhōng ， yě shì pái míng qián duò de bǎo wù ， yóu
怪不得天蚁上人说，此塔存通天灵宝中，也是排名前剁的宝物，由
Since the first three layers of the Treasure Key had been deciphered, practicing them posed no difficulty.
cǐ kàn lái ， guǒ rán méi yǒu xū yán fú kuā zhī chù sháo
此看来，果然没有虚言浮夸之处勺
In just a few days, Lin Xuan completed his cultivation.
shuō qǐ zhè tōng tiān líng bǎo ， qí shí yě yào fēn děng jí 。
说起这通天灵宝，其实也要分等级。
With the treasure now under his control, Lin Xuan cast out a spell: "Quick!"
bù tóng de líng bǎo zhī jiān ， chā yì yě shì jí dà dì ， bù guò jù tǐ gāi zěn me fēn ， lín xuān xiàn zài
不同的灵宝之间，差异也是极大地，不过具体该怎么分，林轩现在
Rumbling sounds filled his ears as the Ten Thousand Soul Tower emitted a bright light. Inside the light, the size of the treasure expanded, and a white glow appeared.
yě bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， zhǐ shì zài mǒu běn gǔ jí shàng ， mó mó hú hú de tí dào guò yì diǎn de 。
也不是很清楚，只是在某本古籍上，模模糊糊的提到过一点的。
Then that white light transformed into a vortex, and three bloodfire ants flew out with their wings spread.
zhè xiē -， lín xuān xiān bù guǎn ， yǐ hòu de shì yǐ hòu zài tán 。
这些-，林轩先不管，以后的事以后再谈。
Unlike those he had seen on the deserted island, these were queen ants, much larger than ordinary ones—each about half a foot long.
xiān xiū liàn 。
先修炼。
Though only three, it was still a bit less. However, there was no need to worry; just as with plants, having one seed could ensure continuous growth.
qián sān céng tōng bǎo jué jì rán yǐ jīng cān wù ， xiū liàn qǐ lái zì rán méi yǒu fēn háo de nán dù 。
前三层通宝诀既然已经参悟，修炼起来自然没有分毫的难度。
After the three queens emerged, they didn't attack Lin Xuan but showed signs of panic, spreading their wings and trying to escape.
bù guò mǐn rì ér yǐ ， lín xuān jiù yǐ jīng wán chéng le xiū xí 。
不过敏日而已，林轩就已经完成了修习。
As fierce creatures from the wilderness, especially the highest-grade queen ants, although their intelligence hadn’t fully developed, it was far beyond that of ordinary spirit insects.
bǎo wù yǐ néng zài shǒu lǐ yùn zhuàn rú yì ， lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué dǎ le chū qù ， qīng chì yī shēng ：
宝物已能在手里运转如意，林轩一道法诀打了出去，轻叱一声：
The role of a queen ant was reproduction; she lacked powerful offensive capabilities.
“ jí !”
“疾!”
Seeing the situation wasn't favorable, they tried to flee, but this was sheer folly.
hōng lōng lóng !
轰隆隆!
Lin Xuan had raised jade lotus bees for so long and knew their temperaments well enough. With a wave of his sleeve, a green light shot out, enveloping the three queen ants.
rú tóng mèn léi bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wàn hún tǎ líng guāng dà zuò ， ér zài líng guāng zhī zhōng ， cǐ
如同闷雷般的声音传入耳朵，万魂塔灵光大做，而在灵光之中，此
A large light ball formed around them as they struggled inside, unable to break free.
bǎo de tǐ jī ， bào zhǎng ， dì yī céng dǎ kāi ， yī tuán bái guāng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
宝的体积，暴涨，第一层打开，一团白光映入眼帘。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan's other hand tapped his waist, producing several suitable materials.
suí hòu nà bái guāng huà wèi le yí gè xuán wō ， sān zhǐ xuè huǒ yǐ cóng lǐ miàn zhèn chì fēi le chū qù 。
随后那白光化为了一个漩涡，三只血火蚁从里面振翅飞了出去。
Though not a master in array formation, Lin Xuan was quite skilled. Soon, a small and intricate recognition pattern took shape.
yǔ zài huāng dǎo shàng kàn jiàn de xuè huǒ yǐ bù tóng ， zhè sān zhǐ nǎi shì yǐ hòu ， bǐ gǔ men de tóng lèi yào
与在荒岛上看见的血火蚁不同，这三只乃是蚁后，比牯们的同类要
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, sending out green light from his sleeve. It circled his wrist, and crimson blood dropped down, forming a bloody mist. He opened his mouth to expel his life essence, which mixed with the mist and integrated into the array.
dà dé duō ， shēn cháng zú zú yǒu bàn chǐ zuǒ yòu 。
大得多，身长足足有半尺左右。
Ordinary spirit insects didn’t need such complicated procedures for recognition.
zhǐ yǒu sān zhǐ ， shāo wēi shǎo le yì diǎn ， bù guò méi guān xì ， jiù rú tóng zhí wù ， zhǐ yào yǒu yī lì
只有三只，稍微少了一点，不过没关系，就如同植物，只要有一粒
However, Lin Xuan was very fond of the bloodfire ants, so he took this step as a precaution. Even if they mutated in the future, they would remain under his control.
zhǒng zi ， zǒng yǒu bàn fǎ ràng gǔ de shù liàng chí xù zēng jiā xià qù 。
种子，总有办法让牯的数量持续增加下去。
Careful is always better; smart people plan things thoroughly and long-term.
nà sān zhǐ yǐ hòu chū lái yǐ hòu ， bìng méi yǒu xiàng lín xuān gōng jī ， ér shì hěn nǐ rén huà de lù chū huāng
那三只蚁后出来以后，并没有像林轩攻击，而是很拟人化的露出慌
Lin Xuan then cast another spell to guide the light ball containing the queen ants into the array: "Activate!"
zhāng zhī sè ， shuāng chì yī zhǎn ， jiù xiǎng yào duó lù táo yuǎn 。
张之色，双翅一展，就想要夺路逃远。
The light burst forth, and the recognition pattern began to function. The entire process took only a few minutes.
zuò wéi mán huāng qí chóng ， ér qiě hái shì zuì gāo jiē de yǐ hòu ， líng zhì gù rán méi yǒu kāi qǐ ， dàn qí
作为蛮荒奇虫，而且还是最高阶的蚁后，灵智固然没有开启，但其
Afterward, Lin Xuan withdrew the array, and the light around the queen ants dissipated. However, these wild spirit creatures no longer tried to escape; they had recognized him and established a mental connection with Lin Xuan.
cōng míng chéng dù yě yuǎn fēi yì bān de líng chóng kě bǐ sháo
聪明程度也远非一般的灵虫可比勺
"Phew!"
yǐ hòu de zuò yòng shì fán yǎn shēng xī ， bìng bù jù yǒu qiáng dà de gōng jī lì 。
蚁后的作用是繁衍生息，并不具有强大的攻击力。
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief; the process went smoothly.
yī jiàn qíng kuàng bù miào ， jiù yào duó lù ér táo ， bù guò zhè zì rán shì chī xīn wàng xiǎng 。
一见情况不妙，就要夺路而逃，不过这自然是痴心妄想。
He then extended his hand again, tapping his waist, and a buzzing sound filled the air as an orchid-red insect cloud appeared before his eyes.
lín xuān yǎng le nà me jiǔ de yù luó fēng ， suī rán yì zhí méi yǒu néng gòu cuī shú ， dàn duì yú gè zhǒng líng
林轩养了那么久的玉罗蜂，虽然一直没有能够催熟，但对于各种灵
The sound of buzzing never ceased, filling the entire training room.
chóng de pí qì ， qǐ néng bù duō shǎo zhī dào yī xiē 。
虫的脾气，岂能不多少知道一些。
Jade Lotus Bees!
xiù páo yī fú ， yī piàn qīng máng fēi lüè ér chū ， jiù jiāng sān zhǐ yǐ hòu guǒ zhù 。
袖袍一拂，一片青芒飞掠而出，就将三只蚁后裹住。
These were higher-grade spirit insects than bloodfire ants.
xíng chéng le yí gè shuò dà de guāng qiú 。
形成了一个硕大的光球。
And what he saw was just part of them from a momentary bag. Since obtaining this item on Seven-Star Island's Cloud Sea, Lin Xuan had raised and bred these insects for over a hundred years, producing tens of thousands.
sān zhǐ yǐ hòu zài lǐ miàn zuǒ chōng yòu tū ， cóng nǎ lǐ néng gòu chōng rù shù fù 。
三只蚁后在里面左冲右突，从哪里能够冲入束缚。
Unfortunately, they couldn’t be matured. According to Senior True Feather, these insects held the Time Law; being stung by them would cause one’s lifespan to diminish instantly.
ér lín xuān de lìng yī zhī shǒu ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yǐ yǒu bù shǎo hé yòng de cái liào bèi tā qǔ le
而林轩的另一只手，在腰间一拍，已有不少合用的材料被他取了
With such an insect as a helper, he wouldn't dare claim dominance in the spirit realm, but many powerful cultivators might flee at his sight—this was beyond doubt.
chū lái 。
出来。
After understanding this, Lin Xuan remained calm. Higher-grade spirit insects were harder to mature; this was natural.
lín xuān de zhèn fǎ zào yì ， suī bù néng shuō shì zōng shī jí ， dàn yě pǒ wèi de liǎo bù qǐ ， hěn kuài ，
林轩的阵法造诣，虽不能说是宗师级，但也颇为的了不起，很快，
He would keep them for now, as they would surely prove useful later.
yí gè xiǎo qiǎo jīng zhì de rèn zhǔ fǎ zé ， jiù yǐ rán chéng xíng 。
一个小巧精致的认主法则，就已然成型。
With a mental command, the insect cloud flew toward the white light vortex formed by the Ten Thousand Soul Tower. The tower had nurturing effects on these creatures. Since he had successfully practiced the Treasure Key, Lin Xuan naturally wanted to place the jade lotus bees inside.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào qīng máng fēi chū xiù kǒu ， zài shǒu wàn yī rào ， dùn shí ， yān hóng de xiān
林轩右手抬起，一道青芒飞出袖口，在手腕一绕，顿时，殷红的鲜
The queen ants followed suit and entered with them. Placing two different types of spirit insects together would surely lead to conflict, but they all obeyed him as their master, making it easy for them to coexist peacefully.
xuè ， dī dī dā dā de sǎ luò xià lái ， bào chéng yī tuán xuè wù ， lín xuān yòu zhāng kāi zuǐ ， pēn chū yī dào běn
血，滴滴答答的洒落下来，爆成一团血雾，林轩又张开嘴，喷出一道本
After completing these tasks, Lin Xuan took a brief rest before returning to his quarters. After taking a bath, he lay down in bed.
mìng zhēn yuán ， yǔ xuè wù hùn hé ， yī tóng róng rù dào fǎ zhèn zhī zhōng 。
命真元，与血雾混合，一同融入到法阵之中。
Holding a golden jade eye scroll, Lin Xuan immersed his consciousness within it.
qí ān ， pǔ tōng de líng chóng rèn zhǔ ， gēn běn yòng bù zhe zhè me má fán 。
其安，普通的灵虫认主，根本用不着这么麻烦。
The Art of Controlling Spirits!
bù guò lín xuān duì xuè huǒ yǐ hěn shì kàn zhòng ， rú cǐ zuò ， yě shì yǐ fáng wàn yī ， yǐ hòu zhè xuè
不过林轩对血火蚁很是看中，如此做，也是以防万一，以后这血
This was an unspoken secret of the Spirit Control Sect, containing all the sect's ancestors' insights on raising spirit insects and nurturing spirit beasts.
huǒ yǐ jiù suàn zài fā shēng shén me biàn yì ， yě bù kě néng tuō lí zì jǐ de zhǎng kòng 。
火蚁就算再发生什么变异，也不可能脱离自己的掌控。
Though from the mortal world, the Spirit Control Sect ranked among the seven major forces in Cloud Province. Their heritage was incredibly deep, allowing one to find information about most wild spirit creatures within it.
xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， cōng míng rén kǎo lǜ shì qíng ， yě yào jǐn liàng wěn tuǒ cháng yuǎn 。
小心无大错，聪明人考虑事情，也要尽量稳妥长远。
Lin Xuan was well-versed, quickly focusing his gaze on the section about spirit insects.
suí hòu lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， zhǐ huī zhe nà bāo guǒ zhe yǐ hòu de guāng qiú luò dào zhèn fǎ zhī
随后林轩一道法诀打出，指挥着那包裹着蚁后的光球落到阵法之
Among the descriptions at the end, he found the bloodfire ants.
“ qǐ !”
“起!”
The reason these insects ranked low was due to their individual combat power; however, once they formed a group, even powerful cultivators would only flee in fear.
líng guāng pēn bó ， rèn zhǔ de zhèn fǎ kāi shǐ yùn zhuàn le 。
灵光喷薄，认主的阵法开始运转了。
With queen ants as seeds, it was time to start breeding.
zhěng gè guò chéng bìng bù fán fù ， zhǐ yòng le xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu 。
整个过程并不繁复，只用了小半盏茶的功夫。
Lin Xuan delved into the Art of Controlling Spirits, carefully studying its contents.
The Fast Website:

However, Lin Xuan was now an中期 Cultivator of the Separation and Union stage, with extensive knowledge. Thus, he wouldn't face such issues. Nevertheless, he could only decipher one character at a time.
