jì rán bǎi hún fān yǒu xiàn chéng de ， bù xū yào zài qù jì liàn shēng rén hún pò ， lín xuān zì rán méi yǒu làng fèi cǐ bǎo de lǐ yóu 。
既然百魂幡有现成的，不需要再去祭炼生人魂魄，林轩自然没有浪费此宝的理由。
Since the Hundred Souls Flag was already available, there was no need to go through the ritual of refining living souls. Lin Xuan naturally had no reason to waste this treasure.
jiāng 《 xuán mó zhēn jīng 》 yǔ cǐ yǒu guān de bù fèn zài xīn zhōng jì shú ， rán hòu lín xuān jiù kāi shǐ xiū liàn le 。
将《玄魔真经》与此有关的部分在心中记熟，然后林轩就开始修炼了。
After memorizing the relevant sections of The True Scripture of Profane Demons in his heart, Lin Xuan began his cultivation.
tā tǐ nèi de yīn shǔ xìng líng lì suī rán shì yóu mì fǎ zhuǎn huà ér lái ， dàn yǐ jiǔ tiān xuán gōng zuò wèi jī chǔ ， fǎn ér bǐ pǔ tōng de tóng jiē guǐ xiū gèng jiā jīng chún hún hòu 。
他体内的阴属性灵力虽然是由秘法转化而来，但以九天玄功做为基础，反而比普通的同阶鬼修更加精纯浑厚。
The Yin属性 spiritual energy within him, though transformed by secret methods, was based on Nine Heavens Profound Technique, making it purer and more substantial than that of ordinary ghost cultivators at the same stage.
yǒu le chōng zú de fǎ lì zuò wèi hòu dùn ， xué xí cǐ shén tōng zì rán jiù méi yǒu shén me jiān nán ， bì jìng zhǐ shì bǎi hún fān de yī xiē jù tǐ yùn yòng 。
有了充足的法力做为后盾，学习此神通自然就没有什么艰难，毕竟只是百魂幡的一些具体运用。
With ample magical power as a support, learning this divine technique became much easier. After all, it was just about the specific applications of the Hundred Souls Flag.
lín xuān měi tiān yī biān fú yào dǎ zuò ， yī biān xiū xí cǐ mì fǎ ， jǐn jǐn yí gè yuè hòu ， jiù lüè yǒu xiǎo chéng 。
林轩每天一边服药打坐，一边修习此秘法，仅仅一个月后，就略有小成。
Lin Xuan spent his days taking medicine and meditating while practicing this secret method. In just one month, he made some progress.
cǐ shí tā zài jì chū bǎi hún fān ， gè zhǒng yīn hún guǐ wù ， dōu kě yǐ shǐ chū zhū bān biàn huà ， wēi lì yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， jiǎn zhí bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
此时他再祭出百魂幡，各种阴魂鬼雾，都可以使出诸般变化，威力与以前相比，简直不可同日而语。
At this point, when he summoned the Hundred Souls Flag again, various yin souls and ghost mists could produce numerous changes. Compared to before, their power was incomparable.
dāng rán ， yǐ hòu hái yǒu gèng dà de qián lì kě wā ， bù guò lín xuān xiàn zài yǐ jīng dīng shàng le lìng wài yī zhǒng mì fǎ ！
当然，以后还有更大的潜力可挖，不过林轩现在已经盯上了另外一种秘法！
Of course, there was still great potential for further development, but Lin Xuan had already set his sights on another secret technique!
tiān mó guǐ shī shù ！
天魔鬼尸术！
The Technique of Devilish Ghost Corpse!
jiǎn dān de shuō ， shì liàn shī shù de yī zhǒng 。
简单的说，是炼尸术的一种。
In simple terms, it is a form of corpse refinement technique.
qí shí ， jiù suàn shì yì bān de guǐ xiū ， tōng cháng yě huì liàn zhì jǐ jù xíng shī ， tiě shī zuò wèi shǐ yì zhī yòng 。
其实，就算是一般的鬼修，通常也会炼制几具行尸，铁尸做为使役之用。
Actually, even ordinary ghost cultivators would usually refine several puppets and iron zombies for use as servants.
zhǐ shì ， zhè xiē pǔ tōng liàn shī shù liàn zhì chū lái de kuǐ lěi jiāng shī ， suī rán jiù fán rén de biāo zhǔn ér yán ， dāo qiāng bù rù ， lì dà wú qióng ， rán ér fàng zài xiū zhēn jiè ， jiù suàn shì pǔ tōng de fǎ shù ， líng qì yě néng qīng yì jiāng qí jī shā ， méi yǒu shén me wēi lì 。
只是，这些普通炼尸术炼制出来的傀儡僵尸，虽然就凡人的标准而言，刀枪不入，力大无穷，然而放在修真界，就算是普通的法术，灵器也能轻易将其击杀，没有什么威力。
However, the puppets and zombies refined by these general corpse refinement techniques, while seemingly invincible to mundane weapons and incredibly strong, could be easily killed by ordinary spells or spiritual artifacts in the cultivation world. They had no real power.
xiǎng yào liàn zhì chū zài dòu fǎ zhōng yǒu suǒ bāng zhù dì jiāng shī 。 bù jǐn xū yào dà liàng dì jīng shí líng cǎo 。 hái xū yào zhì shǎo dòng zé shù shí zài dì péi yǎng 。 qí suǒ huā de xīn xuè 。 jué duì bù bǐ liàn zhì yī jiàn lì hài dì líng qì 。 fǎ bǎo ， shǎo duō shǎo 。
想要炼制出在斗法中有所帮助地僵尸。不仅需要大量地晶石灵草。还需要至少动则数十载地培养。其所花的心血。绝对不比炼制一件厉害地灵器。法宝，少多少。
To refine a zombie that would help in magical battles required vast amounts of crystal stones and spirit herbs, as well as decades of effort. The amount of time and effort invested was absolutely not less than that needed to refine a powerful spiritual artifact or treasure.
gù ér liàn shī shù suī rán shì guǐ dào mì fǎ zhōng yī zhǒng wēi lì jué dà de shén tōng 。 dàn gǔ wǎng jīn lái 。 què shèn shǎo yǒu rén jiāng qí xiū dào gāo shēn chù 。
故而炼尸术虽然是鬼道秘法中一种威力绝大的神通。但古往今来。却甚少有人将其修到高深处。
Thus, while corpse refinement techniques were considered powerful divine arts within the ghost path, few people had ever managed to master them deeply throughout history.
rán ér xuán mó zhēn jīng zhōng suǒ jì zǎi de tiān mó guǐ shī shù què yǔ zhòng bù tóng 。
然而玄魔真经中所记载的天魔鬼尸术却与众不同。
However, the Technique of Devilish Ghost Corpse in The True Scripture of Profane Demons was different.
yì bān de liàn shī shù dōu shì jiāng fán rén ， zuì hǎo shì xiū shì shā sǐ hòu suǒ de dì shī tǐ zuò wèi liàn shī cái liào 。 rán hòu fǔ yǐ zhǒng zhǒng líng yào ， mì fǎ jiā yǐ péi yǎng 。
一般的炼尸术都是将凡人，最好是修士杀死后所得地尸体做为炼尸材料。然后辅以种种灵药，秘法加以培养。
Ordinary corpse refinement techniques used human corpses, preferably those of cultivators, as materials, then supplemented with various spirit herbs and secret methods for cultivation.
gù ér xū yào huā fèi dà liàng dì jīng shí xīn xuè 。
故而需要花费大量地晶石心血。
Therefore, a large amount of crystal stones and effort were required.
kě zhè tiān mó guǐ shī shù què shì zhí jiē qù zhǎo xī shōu dì dǐ yīn qì ér yǐ jīng tōng líng de jiāng shī 。
可这天魔鬼尸术却是直接去找吸收地底阴气而已经通灵的僵尸。
But the Technique of Devilish Ghost Corpse directly sought out zombies that had already absorbed underground yin qi and become sentient.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， dāng yí gè rén sǐ hòu xiǎng yào zài zì rán tiáo jiàn xià chéng wéi jiāng shī ， kě bìng bú shì nà me róng yì ， xū yào zhǒng zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， quán bù jié hé dào yì qǐ 。
众所周知，当一个人死后想要在自然条件下成为僵尸，可并不是那么容易，需要种种机缘巧合，全部结合到一起。
It was well known that becoming a zombie naturally after death under normal circumstances was not easy; it required numerous coincidences to come together.
shǒu xiān ， mái shī zhī dì bì xū yīn qì nóng zhòng ， zuì hǎo shì yīn mài zhī dì 。
首先，埋尸之地必须阴气浓重，最好是阴脉之地。
First, the burial site must be heavily infused with yin qi, preferably in a place where yin veins are present.
ér zì rán jiè zhōng de yīn mài ， kě shì bǐ líng mài gèng jiā de xī yǒu 。
而自然界中的阴脉，可是比灵脉更加的稀有。
Second, this person's birthday must fall on the Ghost Festival during the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Only those born on that day have the potential to become zombies.
qí cì 。 cǐ rén de shēng rì ， bì xū shì yīn lì qī yuè de guǐ jié ， zhǐ yǒu zài zhè rì chū shēng de rén ， cái yǒu néng yōng yǒu chéng wéi jiāng shī de tǐ zhì 。
其次。此人的生日，必须是阴历七月的鬼节，只有在这日出生的人，才有能拥有成为僵尸的体制。
Third, within several years after death, their body must remain uncorrupted; otherwise, without flesh and only bones left, they naturally cannot become zombies.
sān ， cǐ rén sǐ hòu de shù nián nèi 。 bì xū shī shēn bù fǔ ， fǒu zé méi yǒu le pí ròu ， jǐn shèng xià gǔ jià ， zì rán yě bù kě néng chéng wéi jiāng shī 。
三，此人死后的数年内。必须尸身不腐，否则没有了皮肉，仅剩下骨架，自然也不可能成为僵尸。
Thus, the natural conditions for a zombie to become sentient are extremely rare.
gù ér ， néng zài zì rán tiáo jiàn xià tōng líng chéng wéi jiāng shī dì jī lǜ shí zài shì hěn xiǎo 。
故而，能在自然条件下通灵成为僵尸地几率实在是很小。
Ordinary ghost cultivators not only do not know this Technique of Devilish Ghost Corpse, but even if they somehow learn it by chance, finding such zombies is no easy task.
yì bān de guǐ xiū bié shuō bú huì zhè tiān mó guǐ shī shù ， jiù suàn shì jī yuán qiǎo hé xué dào le ， xiǎng yào zhǎo xún jiāng shī yě shì hěn nán zhī shì 。
一般的鬼修别说不会这天魔鬼尸术，就算是机缘巧合学到了，想要找寻僵尸也是很难之事。
However, once found, these already sentient zombies do not need further cultivation; they possess powers rivaling those of cultivators. Following the instructions in the secret technique, one can simply recognize them as masters and use them immediately.
rán ér yí dàn zhǎo dào le ， zhè zhǒng yǐ jīng tōng líng de jiāng shī bù yòng zài huā xīn xuè péi yǎng ， běn shēn jiù yǒu kě yǐ pǐ dí xiū shì de shén tōng ， zhǐ xū yào àn mì fǎ zhōng de jì zǎi 。 duì qí jìn xíng rèn zhǔ 。 jiù kě yǐ zhí jiē ná lái shǐ yòng 。
然而一旦找到了，这种已经通灵的僵尸不用再花心血培养，本身就有可以匹敌修士的神通，只需要按秘法中的记载。对其进行认主。就可以直接拿来使用。
It was indeed an excellent method to quickly boost one's own strength within a short period.
shí zài shì duǎn shí jiān nèi tí gāo běn shēn shí lì dì zuì jiā miào fǎ le 。
实在是短时间内提高本身实力地最佳妙法了。
If he could obtain dozens of puppets equivalent to the early foundation establishment stage, it would likely not be impossible to match up against core formation experts.
rú guǒ zì jǐ néng gòu nòng shàng jǐ shí jù xiāng dāng yú zhù jī chū qī de jiāng shī shǒu xià ， xiǎng bì jiù suàn shì yù shàng níng dān qī gāo shǒu wèi bì méi yǒu yī pīn zhī lì le 。
如果自己能够弄上几十具相当于筑基初期的僵尸手下，想必就算是遇上凝丹期高手未必没有一拼之力了。
Lin Xuan was overjoyed with this thought. He flipped through the section on cultivating the Technique of Devilish Ghost Corpse and read carefully. However, after finishing, disappointment showed on his face as he sighed. There were no free lunches in heaven after all.
lín xuān dà xǐ de xiǎng zhe 。
林轩大喜的想着。
In fact, the Technique of Devilish Ghost Corpse also had several levels, each capable of controlling zombies at different cultivation stages.
fān kāi tiān mó guǐ shī shù xiū liàn de bù fèn zǐ xì yuè dú ， kě dú wán zhī hòu lín xuān liǎn shàng què lù chū le shī wàng zhī sè ， tàn le kǒu qì ， tiān shàng guǒ rán méi yǒu diào xiàn bǐng de hǎo shì 。
翻开天魔鬼尸术修炼的部分仔细阅读，可读完之后林轩脸上却露出了失望之色，叹了口气，天上果然没有掉馅饼的好事。
Lin Xuan looked over it; with his current strength, he could quickly learn the first level.
yuán lái zhè zhǒng tiān mó guǐ shī shù yě fēn wéi shù gè céng cì ， měi yī céng kě yǐ shǐ yì bù tóng xiū wèi de jiāng shī 。
原来这种天魔鬼尸术也分为数个层次，每一层可以使役不同修为的僵尸。
The first level only allowed control of a dozen or so puppets equivalent to the flexible spirit stage cultivators.
lín xuān kàn le kàn 。 yǐ xiàn zài zì jǐ de shí lì ， zuì duō néng gòu hěn kuài xué huì dì yī céng ér yǐ 。
林轩看了看。以现在自己的实力，最多能够很快学会第一层而已。
Disappointed but still glad for having these helpers, they could be used as cannon fodder to buy time against formidable enemies.
ér dì yī céng ， jǐn jǐn néng gòu kòng zhì shí jǐ jù xiāng dāng yú líng dòng qī xiū shì shí lì de jiāng shī 。
而第一层，仅仅能够控制十几具相当于灵动期修士实力的僵尸。
Contentment was a virtue. Compared to other ghost path cultivators who needed decades to cultivate zombies, his efforts were negligible.
xīn zhōng yǒu xiē shī wàng ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， yǒu zhè xiē bāng shǒu yě shì hǎo de ， yù jiàn lì hài de dí rén ， kě yǐ zuò wéi pào huī zuò tuō yán shí jiān zhī yòng 。
心中有些失望，但不管如何，有这些帮手也是好的，遇见厉害的敌人，可以作为炮灰做拖延时间之用。
Lin Xuan would not let such a useful divine technique slip by.
rén guì zài zhī zú ， ér bié dì guǐ dào xiū shì dòng zé xū yào shù shí zài guāng yīn lái péi yù jiāng shī xiāng bǐ ， zì jǐ dì fù chū shí zài shì kě yǐ hū lüè bù jì 。
人贵在知足，而别地鬼道修士动则需要数十载光阴来培育僵尸相比，自己地付出实在是可以忽略不计。
Moreover, he did not need to worry about the source of these puppets; there were many in Drifting Cloud Valley.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì fàng guò rú cǐ yǒu yòng de shén tōng 。
林轩自然不会放过如此有用的神通。
The only concern was that last time he had led the various factions' spies into that place and used zombies to eliminate them. After so long, they still hadn't returned. Their mentors would surely come looking for them. Would they accidentally destroy the zombies...
gèng hé kuàng tā hái bù xū yào fán nǎo jiāng shī de lái yuán 。 yīn shī gǔ lǐ jiù yǒu hěn duō 。
更何况他还不需要烦恼僵尸的来源。阴尸谷里就有很多。
Regardless, this divine technique had great utility. Lin Xuan began practicing.
wéi yī dān xīn de shì shàng cì zì jǐ jiāng gè dà shì lì de tàn zi yǐn rù nà lǐ 。 jiè jiāng shī zhī shǒu jiāng tā men miè diào ， guò qù le nà me jiǔ 。 zhè xiē rén yī rán bù céng huí qù ， tā men de shī mén zhǎng bèi kěn dìng yào qù zhǎo ， huì bú huì shùn shǒu jiāng jiāng shī miè diào ……
唯一担心的是上次自己将各大势力的探子引入那里。借僵尸之手将他们灭掉，过去了那么久。这些人依然不曾回去，他们的师门长辈肯定要去找，会不会顺手将僵尸灭掉……
He wondered if it was because the first level was particularly simple; he managed to grasp it in just a few days.
bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè zhǒng shén tōng zǒng shì yǒu hěn dà yòng chǔ ， lín xuān kāi shǐ liàn xí 。
不管如何，这种神通总是有很大用处，林轩开始练习。
It was too easy.
bù zhī dào shì bú shì dì yī céng tè bié jiǎn dān dì yuán gù ， tā zhǐ huā le duǎn duǎn de shù tiān shí jiān ， jū rán jiù qīng sōng zhǎng wò 。
不知道是不是第一层特别简单地缘故，他只花了短短的数天时间，居然就轻松掌握。
To the point that Lin Xuan couldn't believe his eyes and even suspected he might have made a mistake.
tài róng yì le 。
太容易了。
But after carefully reading The True Scripture of Profane Demons several times, it really was like this.
yǐ zhì yú lín xuān yǒu xiē bù néng zhì xìn de yàng zi 。
以至于林轩有些不能置信的样子。
This unexpected discovery left Lin Xuan both surprised and delighted, leading him to wonder if he had some special talent in cultivating corpse refinement techniques.
shèn zhì huái yí zì jǐ shì bú shì nòng cuò le 。
甚至怀疑自己是不是弄错了。
With a determined heart, he decided to practice the second level.
bù guò jiāng 《 xuán mó zhēn jīng 》 qǔ chū ， zǐ xì yuè dú le jǐ biàn zhī hòu ， zhēn de rú cǐ 。
不过将《玄魔真经》取出，仔细阅读了几遍之后，真的如此。
According to what was written in the Jade Cylinder, mastering the second level would allow control of puppets equivalent to foundation establishment stage cultivators. If his memory served correctly, there were several such powerful zombies in Drifting Cloud Valley.
zhè yì wài de shōu huò ， zì rán ràng lín xuān yòu jīng yòu xǐ ， yú shì tā kāi shǐ huái yí ， zì jǐ zài xiū liàn zhè zhǒng liàn shī shù shàng ， shì bú shì yǒu shén me tè bié de tiān fù 。
这意外的收获，自然让林轩又惊又喜，于是他开始怀疑，自己在修炼这种炼尸术上，是不是有什么特别的天赋。
If they could be subdued, not only would killing peers be no problem, but he might even dare to challenge core formation experts alone.
yī héng xīn ， gān cuì liàn qǐ le dì èr céng 。
一横心，干脆练起了第二层。
However, after just one day, Lin Xuan abandoned the practice.
àn yù tǒng jiǎn lǐ de jì zǎi ， zhǎng wò dì èr céng hòu ， jiù kě yǐ kòng zhì xiāng dāng yú zhù jī qī xiū wèi de jiāng shī ， rú guǒ méi yǒu jì cuò de huà ， zhè zhǒng lì hài dì guài wù yīn shī gǔ yě yǒu shí jǐ jù zhī duō 。
按玉筒简里的记载，掌握第二层后，就可以控制相当于筑基期修为的僵尸，如果没有记错的话，这种厉害地怪物阴尸谷也有十几具之多。
The reason was simple; when practicing the second level, his entire body felt like it was being pierced by spiritual energy, and the pain was extreme!
rú guǒ jiāng tā men shōu fú ， bù jǐn miè shā tóng jiē xiū shì méi yǒu wèn tí ， shèn zhì kě yǐ dān tiāo níng dān qī dì gāo shǒu le 。
如果将它们收服，不仅灭杀同阶修士没有问题，甚至可以单挑凝丹期地高手了。
Of course, the pain wasn't a big deal. It was nothing compared to the suffering he endured during the cultivation of Yin-Yang Technique.
kě jǐn jǐn guò le yī tiān ， lín xuān jiù fàng qì le xiū liàn 。
可仅仅过了一天，林轩就放弃了修炼。
What terrified Lin Xuan was that this was a clear sign of going astray; forcing himself to practice might result in his soul scattering. Terrified, he immediately stopped.
Since the Hundred Souls Flag was already available, there was no need to go through the ritual of refining living souls. Lin Xuan naturally had no reason to waste this treasure.
After memorizing the relevant sections of The True Scripture of Profane Demons in his heart, Lin Xuan began his cultivation.

At this point, when he summoned the Hundred Souls Flag again, various yin souls and ghost mists could produce numerous changes. Compared to before, their power was incomparable.
Of course, there was still great potential for further development, but Lin Xuan had already set his sights on another secret technique!
The Technique of Devilish Ghost Corpse!
