yì chéng de jī lǜ ， yě jiù yì wèi zhe tí chún shí kē shàng pǐn dān ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zhǐ néng chéng gōng yī kē ， duì lín xuān lái shuō ， zhè shí zài shì tài guò xī shǎo le 。
一成的几率，也就意味着提纯十颗上品丹，机缘巧合，只能成功一颗，对林轩来说，这实在是太过稀少了。
A 1% chance meant that refining ten superior-grade pills would only yield one success by sheer luck. For Lin Xuan, this was far too rare.
zǐ xì sī suǒ ， hái bù rú tí chún zhōng pǐn dān lái de huá suàn 。
仔细思索，还不如提纯中品丹来得划算。
After careful consideration, it made more sense to refine middle-grade pills instead.
lín xuān bú shì rèn sǐ lǐ de rén wù ， guān jiàn shí kè ， zì rán xiǎo de biàn tōng de ， fǎn zhèng zì jǐ de fèi dān gòu duō ， jiù suàn shì fú yòng zhōng pǐn dān xiū liàn ， yě bù guò shì xiāng duì ér yán ， yào shāo wēi màn shàng nà me yì diǎn 。
林轩不是认死理的人物，关键时刻，自然晓得变通的，反正自己的废丹够多，就算是服用中品丹修炼，也不过是相对而言，要稍微慢上那么一点。
Lin Xuan wasn't a stick-in-the-mud; he knew when to adapt in critical situations. With plenty of waste pills at his disposal, taking the time to refine middle-grade ones would only be slightly slower than using superior-grade ones.
zhì yú dān yào de shù liàng ， zé wán quán bù yòng kǎo lǜ ， zhī chí zì jǐ xiū liàn dào dòng xuán qī ， nà yě shì chuò chuò yǒu yú 。
至于丹药的数量，则完全不用考虑，支持自己修炼到洞玄期，那也是绰绰有余。
The number of pill formulas was irrelevant since he had more than enough resources to support his cultivation up to the Profound Origin stage. Of course, occasionally refining some superior-grade pills wasn't a bad idea either; they could come in handy when breaking through barriers.
dāng rán ， shàng pǐn dān ǒu ěr hái shì kě yǐ cháng shì tí chún yī xiē chū lái 。
当然，上品丹偶尔还是可以尝试提纯一些出来。
...
dàn què bú shì yòng lái fú yào dǎ zuò ， sú huà shuō ， hǎo gāng yòng zài dāo rèn shàng ， zhè xiē zēng jiā fǎ lì de dān yào ， zài tū pò píng jǐng de shí hòu tóng yàng huì yǒu yī xiē yòng tú 。
但却不是用来服药打坐，俗话说，好钢用在刀刃上，这些增加法力的丹药，在突破瓶颈的时候同样会有一些用途。
Time passed without leaving any trace. Winter gave way to spring and summer turned into autumn. Lin Xuan's abode remained sealed, and Black Wind Island continued as it was. However, the strength of the disciples from Hundred Grass Sect increased significantly. The number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators grew, along with a few Condensation Core stage ones. Lin Xuan had left ample resources behind, and the True Scripture of the Five Elements was indeed a godsend for those with inferior spirit roots.
rú guǒ yùn qì hǎo ， tí chún chū shàng pǐn dān ， nà jiù xiān cún zhe 。
如果运气好，提纯出上品丹，那就先存着。
With no bottlenecks, his disciples progressed rapidly. In contrast, Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Ling didn't stand out as much compared to their peers. Although they had Lin Xuan's cultivation insights, their progress through the Nine Heavens Profound Art was slow due to its complexity.
jī běn de sī lù yǒu le ， jiē xià lái de shí jiān ， lín xuān chè dǐ jìn rù kǔ xiū lǐ miàn 。
基本的思路有了，接下来的时间，林轩彻底进入苦修里面。
Fortunately, the treasures bestowed by their master were countless, allowing them to edge past most of their fellow disciples and reach the peak of Foundation Establishment stage.
měi rì chú le tí chún dān yào ， bìng fú yào dǎ zuò ， shèng xià de shí jiān ， yǐ liáo liáo wú jǐ ， ér qiě tā yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， yòng wàn hún tǎ pèi hé zǐ yáng cǎo duì xuè huǒ yǐ jìn xíng cuī shú ， yǔ yù luó fēng bù tóng ， zhè zhǒng mán huāng qí chóng dān gè de zhàn dòu lì ， bù zhí yī tí ， kào de shì shù liàng páng dà wú bǐ ， xiāng duì lái shuō ， yě jiào róng yì cuī shú ， zài lín xuān de jīng xīn sì yǎng xià ， shù liàng nián fù yī nián de zēng jiā 。
每日除了提纯丹药，并服药打坐，剩下的时间，已寥寥无几，而且他也没有闲着，用万魂塔配合紫阳草对血火蚁进行催熟，与玉罗蜂不同，这种蛮荒奇虫单个的战斗力，不值一提，靠的是数量庞大无比，相对来说，也较容易催熟，在林轩的精心饲养下，数量年复一年的增加。
...
ér xiàn zài ， yǐ dǎ zuò wéi zhǔ ， qí tā yī xiē de gōng fǎ ， lín xuān dào yě méi yǒu là xià ， bǐ rú shuō ， tí chún hòu de qí lín guǒ ， tā jiù jiān chí tūn fú ， lóng xiàng fú mó gōng yě qín liàn bù chuò ，** de jiān rèn chéng dù ， zǎo yǐ bù xùn yú tóng jiē de tiān dì líng zú ， lì qì yě zài bù duàn zēng jiā 。
而现在，以打坐为主，其他一些的功法，林轩倒也没有落下，比如说，提纯后的麒麟果，他就坚持吞服，龙象伏魔功也勤练不辍，**的坚韧程度，早已不逊于同阶的天地灵族，力气也在不断增加。
The distance to becoming a Condensation Core cultivator was just one step away. Although not the highest in their cohort, Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Ling's strength far surpassed that of other disciples. The Nine Heavens Profound Art was a top-grade technique with immense power, while the True Scripture of the Five Elements took an opposite approach.
……
……
Even those who had successfully condensed cores found themselves vastly outmatched by these two girls. Without relying on their master's treasures, they could easily defeat them in hand-to-hand combat.
xiū xiān wú suì yuè 。
修仙无岁月。
Shangguan Mudouyu also made steady progress as the head of her sect. Although she lacked the exceptional talent of her daughters, Shangguan Ling and Shangguan Yan, she was still quite capable. Cultivating the Jade Maiden Seven Heart Technique, while not achieving miraculous results, saw significant advancement.
dōng qù chūn lái ， xià mò qiū yòu zhì ， yǐ bù zhī dào guò qù le duō shǎo hán shǔ ， lín xuān dòng fǔ de mén cóng lái yě bù céng dǎ kāi guò ， hēi fēng dǎo yī qiè rú gù ， dǎo shì bǎi cǎo mén dì zǐ de shí lì ， zài bù duàn zēng jiā zhe 。
冬去春来，夏末秋又至，已不知道过去了多少寒暑，林轩洞府的门从来也不曾打开过，黑风岛一切如故，倒是百草门弟子的实力，在不断增加着。
Fifty years passed in a blink. The human race's war with the sea creatures did not affect Black Wind Island, where Hundred Grass Sect could rest undisturbed.
zhù jī qī xiū shì de shù liàng yuè lái yuè duō ， biàn shì níng dān qī xiū shì yě yǒu le hǎo jǐ gè ， lín xuān liú xià lái de zī yuán shí fēn chōng zú ， ér wǔ xíng zhēn jiě duì yú líng gēn dī liè de xiū xiān zhě ， què shí gēn chuán shuō zhōng de fú yīn chà bu duō 。
筑基期修士的数量越来越多，便是凝丹期修士也有了好几个，林轩留下来的资源十分充足，而五行真解对于灵根低劣的修仙者，确实跟传说中的福音差不多。
It was an ordinary morning, and the sea surface was calm and serene. Occasionally, fish leaped out of the water. Two beautiful young women were playing, appearing to be no more than ten years old. Of course, one couldn't judge a cultivator's strength by their appearance.
méi yǒu píng jǐng ， zhòng dì zǐ xiū liàn qǐ lái zì rán shì yī lù de gāo gē měng jìn 。
没有瓶颈，众弟子修炼起来自然是一路的高歌猛进。
"Big sister, when do you think Master will break through to Profound Origin?"
xiāng duì yú shī xiōng mèi men de sù dù ， shàng guān yàn yǔ shàng guān líng fǎn ér bù xiǎn de chū zhòng le 。
相对于师兄妹们的速度，上官雁与上官翎反而不显得出众了。
"I don't know, but with our master's talent, it should be fine."
bì jìng jiǔ tiān xuán gōng jiān nán shēn sè ， suī rán yǒu lín xuān liú xià lái de xiū liàn xīn dé ， dàn jìn jiē de sù dù yě bìng bù kuài de 。
毕竟九天玄功艰难深涩，虽然有林轩留下来的修炼心得，但进阶的速度也并不快的。
Shangguan Yan muttered, feeling both respect and gratitude toward Lin Xuan. However, fifty years had passed without any news from their master, leaving them uncertain of his current state.
hǎo zài shī zūn cì xià de líng dān qí bǎo bù jì qí shù ， ràng liǎng gè yā tou zǒng suàn hái shì miǎn qiǎng shèng guò dà duō shù dì zǐ yī chóu ， rú jīn yǐ shì zhù jī qī dǐng fēng 。
好在师尊赐下的灵丹奇宝不计其数，让两个丫头总算还是勉强胜过大多数弟子一筹，如今已是筑基期顶峰。
Before the girls could finish speaking, they suddenly widened their eyes in alarm, a look of vigilance on their faces.
jù lí níng dān jǐn yǒu yī bù zhī yáo 。
距离凝丹仅有一步之遥。
"Big sister, what's wrong?"
liǎng nǚ jìng jiè suī rán bú shì tóng mén zhōng zuì gāo dì ， dàn lùn shí lì ， yǔ bǎi cǎo mén qí tā dì zǐ què shì wán quán bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， jiǔ tiān xuán gōng nǎi dǐng jiē gōng fǎ ， wēi lì hóng dà ， wǔ xíng zhēn jiě què shì fǎn qí dào ér xíng zhī 。
两女境界虽然不是同门中最高地，但论实力，与百草门其他弟子却是完全不可同日而语，九天玄功乃顶阶功法，威力宏大，五行真解却是反其道而行之。
Shangguan Ling also noticed something amiss and quickly released her divine sense. A cluster of light points appeared on the horizon, numbering several hundred, all cultivators with far higher cultivation levels than them.
biàn shì nà jǐ míng níng dān chéng gōng de dì zǐ ， yǔ liǎng nǚ qiē cuō ， yě wán quán bú shì yí gè shù liàng jí ， jí biàn bù yǐ zhàng shī zūn cì xià de bǎo wù xī lì ， kōng shǒu dǎ bài tā men ， wán quán méi yǒu wèn tí 。
便是那几名凝丹成功的弟子，与两女切磋，也完全不是一个数量级，即便不倚仗师尊赐下的宝物犀利，空手打败他们，完全没有问题。
The sisters were alarmed. As the saying went, "The good are not troubled, but trouble finds the wicked." So many cultivators suddenly appearing in their vicinity was certainly not a cause for celebration. Could this fifty-year peace be about to end?
zhì yú shàng guān mù yǔ ， xiū liàn yě hěn shùn lì ， cǐ nǚ zuò wéi yī pài zhī zhǔ ， zī zhì suī rán yuǎn bù jí liǎng gè nǚ ér de léi hún bīng pò ， dàn yě shì hěn bú cuò ， xiū liàn yù nǚ qī xīn jué ， suī bù néng shuō yī rì qiān lǐ ， dàn jìn zhǎn yě jí wéi shùn lì 。
至于上官暮雨，修炼也很顺利，此女作为一派之主，资质虽然远不及两个女儿的雷魂冰魄，但也是很不错，修炼玉女七心诀，虽不能说一日千里，但进展也极为顺利。
However, there was no time to think anymore.
wǔ shí nián jiù zhè yàng guò qù 。
五十年就这样过去。
Their opponents' strength far exceeded that of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. They had already been discovered and couldn't hide now. The only option was to return to the sect's main hall as quickly as possible.
rén zú yǔ hǎi zú de dà zhàn yě méi yǒu bō jí dào zhè lǐ ， bǎi cǎo mén zài hēi fēng dǎo shàng zì yóu de xiū yǎng shēng xī 。
人族与海族的大战也没有波及到这里，百草门在黑风岛上自由的休养生息。
The sisters moved swiftly toward Hundred Grass Sect's main hall. Fortunately, Black Wind Bandits were not far away—just a few miles at most.
zhè shì yí gè pǔ tōng de zǎo chén ， hǎi miàn xiáng hé ér píng jìng ， bù shí cóng shuǐ miàn shàng kě yǐ kàn jiàn yuè qǐ de yóu yú ， liǎng wèi róng mào měi lì de shào nǚ zhèng zài xī xì ， kàn shàng qù dōu bù guò shí ** suì nián jì ， dāng rán ， xiū xiān zhě ， yóu qí shì nǚ xiū ， shì bù néng cóng wài mào shàng pàn duàn de 。
这是一个普通的早晨，海面祥和而平静，不时从水面上可以看见跃起的游鱼，两位容貌美丽的少女正在嬉戏，看上去都不过十**岁年纪，当然，修仙者，尤其是女修，是不能从外貌上判断的。
However, their opponents' speed was much faster than expected. As soon as they entered the miasma, the group of cultivators arrived nearby.
“ jiě jiě ， nǐ shuō shī fù ， shén me shí hòu néng gòu tū pò dòng xuán ？”
“姐姐，你说师父，什么时候能够突破洞玄？”
...
“ wǒ bù xiǎo de ， bù guò yǐ shī zūn de zī zhì ， yīng gāi shì méi yǒu wèn tí de 。”
“我不晓得，不过以师尊的资质，应该是没有问题的。”
Closer inspection revealed that these seemed to be from the same sect, but many faces bore signs of distress and injury.
shàng guān yàn nán nán de shuō ， duì yú lín xuān ， jiě mèi liǎ chú le zūn jìng jiù shì gǎn jī ， kě xī wǔ shí nián guò qù ， shī zūn què yīn xùn quán wú ， yě bù zhī dào rú jīn zěn me yàng le 。
上官雁喃喃的说，对于林轩，姐妹俩除了尊敬就是感激，可惜五十年过去，师尊却音讯全无，也不知道如今怎么样了。
Their mental states were clearly poor. Some appeared to have suffered severe wounds.
shào nǚ huà yīn wèi luò ， tū rán dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū jǐng tì zhī sè 。
少女话音未落，突然瞪大了眼珠，脸上也露出警惕之色。
Leading them was a red-haired old man with an immeasurable cultivation level, a late-stage Separation Realm cultivator.
“ jiě ， zěn me le ？”
“姐，怎么了？”
"Grandfather, those two girls fled into the miasma."
shàng guān líng yě fā xiàn le bù tuǒ ， lián máng jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zhǐ jiàn yuǎn fāng de tiān jì ， chū xiàn le yī xiē guāng diǎn ， mì mì má má ， zú yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō ， quán shì xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě xiū wèi xiǎn rán yào bǐ tā men gāo shàng xǔ duō 。
上官翎也发现了不妥，连忙将神识放出，只见远方的天际，出现了一些光点，密密麻麻，足有数百之多，全是修仙者，而且修为显然要比他们高上许多。
"Hmph, just two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators—why bother? Our sect is facing a crisis and needs a place to settle down," a bald man growled.
jiě mèi liǎ bù yóu de dà jīng shī sè ， sú huà shuō ， shàn zhě bù lái ， lái zhě bù shàn ， zhè me duō xiū shì zhòu rán chū xiàn zài fù jìn hǎi yù ， duì běn mén lái shuō ， shí zài suàn bù shàng shén me xīn xǐ ， nán dào wǔ shí nián de píng jìng shēng huó ， jiù yào zhè me bèi wú duān de dǎ pò ？
姐妹俩不由得大惊失色，俗话说，善者不来，来者不善，这么多修士骤然出现在附近海域，对本门来说，实在算不上什么欣喜，难道五十年的平静生活，就要这么被无端的打破？
"Second Brother, you're wrong. This place is so remote; how could there be two female cultivators here? If I'm not mistaken, this might be the secret main hall of some sect," the previous speaker said. He looked no more than twenty but seemed like an old man with his hunched back.
bù guò xiàn zài yǐ jīng méi yǒu shí jiān duō xiǎng le 。
不过现在已经没有时间多想了。
"A sect's secret main hall? Second Brother, don't joke around. There are no spirit veins here; how could a sect build its main hall in such a place? I think those two girls just happened to appear," the bald man said dismissively.
duì fāng de shí lì ， yuǎn fēi zhù jī ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， xiǎn rán yě fā xiàn le zì jǐ ， zhè shí hòu jiù suàn xiǎng yào yǐn cáng yě lái bù jí ， wéi yī de bàn fǎ ， jiù shì gǎn kuài huí dào mén lǐ qù 。
对方的实力，远非筑基，此时此刻，显然也发现了自己，这时候就算想要隐藏也来不及，唯一的办法，就是赶快回到门里去。
"Whether or not it is so, let us check first before making any conclusions," the hunchbacked youth seemed confident. His eyes glinted with cunning, indicating he was no ordinary character.
jiě mèi liǎng yě suàn xīn yǒu líng xū ， èr huà bù shuō jiù xiàng bǎi cǎo mén de zǒng duò fēi qù ， hǎo zài hēi fēng dào jù lí zhè lǐ ， bù guò shù lǐ ， yīng gāi shì wán quán lái de jí 。
姐妹两也算心有灵虚，二话不说就像百草门的总舵飞去，好在黑风盗距离这里，不过数里，应该是完全来得及。
The two argued, but in the end, the decision rested with the Separation Realm old man.
bù guò nà huǒ xiū shì de sù dù ， què bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào kuài dé duō ， dāng liǎng nǚ gāng jìn rù zhàng qì ， tā men yě lái dào bù yuǎn le 。
不过那伙修士的速度，却比想象的要快得多，当两女刚进入瘴气，他们也来到不远了。
"Let's go and see; it won't take much time."
jìn jù lí kàn ， sì hū shì tóng yī mén pài de xiū xiān zhě ， bù guò dà bù fèn rén de liǎn shàng ， dōu dài zhe láng bèi zhī sè 。
近距离看，似乎是同一门派的修仙者，不过大部分人的脸上，都带着狼狈之色。
Before the words were out, several cultivators flew off. Soon, a delighted voice reached their ears: "Grandfather, there is indeed an island here, and its spirit veins are quite good."
jīng shén zhuàng tài bù jiā shì kěn dìng de ， yǒu de rén ， shèn zhì míng xiǎn hái shēn shòu zhòng shāng lái zhe 。
精神状态不佳是肯定的，有的人，甚至明显还身受重伤来着。
"What?"
wéi shǒu de shì yī míng hóng fā lǎo zhě ， xiū wèi shēn bù kě cè ， nǎi shì yī wèi lí hé zhōng qī dǐng fēng de xiū xiān zhě 。
为首的是一名红发老者，修为深不可测，乃是一位离合中期顶峰的修仙者。
The red-haired old man was overjoyed. He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. If they could rebuild their sect here, it would be perfect.
“ lǎo zǔ ， gāng gāng de liǎng míng nǚ zǐ táo rù le zhàng qì zhī zhōng 。”
“老祖，刚刚的两名女子逃入了瘴气之中。”
---
“ hēng ， bù guò shì liǎng míng zhù jī qī xiū shì ， lǐ tā zuò shén me ， běn mén zāo féng dà biàn ， pò qiè xū yào yī luò jiǎo zhī suǒ 。” yī guāng tóu dà hàn è hěn hěn de kāi kǒu 。
“哼，不过是两名筑基期修士，理他做什么，本门遭逢大变，迫切需要一落脚之所。”一光头大汉恶狠狠的开口。
This was the second update for today. Honestly, Huanyu found writing difficult due to the noise from her neighbor's renovation. The environment was so noisy that writing was quite painful. But rest assured, men keep their promises; Huanyu will do her best to reach 9000 words today. To be honest, I've been working hard this month, and now with the competition for monthly votes at a critical stage, please check your storage bags and see if you still have any monthly votes. Support Huanyu! Thank you all.
