ér qiě hái bú shì yī kē ， lìng wài liǎng zhǒng dān yào suī rán shì pǒ wèi lěng pì zhī wù ， dàn lùn xiào guǒ ， jué bù zài zhèng yuán dān zhī xià de 。
而且还不是一颗，另外两种丹药虽然是颇为冷僻之物，但论效果，决不在正元丹之下的。
Moreover, it wasn't just one pill; the other two types of medicinal pills were rather obscure items. However, in terms of their effects, they weren’t inferior to True Essence Pills.
lín xuān zhè me zuò ， zú yǐ lìng pǔ tōng xiū shì chuí xiōng dùn zú ， jiàn guò shē chǐ de jiā huo ， méi jiàn guò shuí néng shē chǐ dào zhè bān dì bù 。
林轩这么做，足以令普通修士捶胸顿足，见过奢侈的家伙，没见过谁能奢侈到这般地步。
Lin Xuan's actions were enough to make ordinary cultivators bang their chests and stomp their feet. They had never seen anyone so extravagant before.
rán ér lín xuān bù jué dé ， měi gè rén de qíng kuàng shì bù tóng de 。
然而林轩不觉得，每个人的情况是不同的。
However, Lin Xuan didn't feel that way. Everyone’s situation was different. Although he was only at the Separation stage, his wealth far surpassed even the ancient monsters of the Void Profound realm. A few pills in others' eyes might be extremely precious, but to him, they were nothing.
tā suī rán jǐn shì lí hé ， dàn lùn shēn jiā zhī fēng hòu lián dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù yě yào táng hū qí hòu ， qū qū jǐ lì dān yào zài bié rén de yǎn lǐ ， huò xǔ zhēn guì yǐ jí ， rán ér duì tā lái shuō què bù zhí yī tí 。
他虽然仅是离合，但论身家之丰厚连洞玄期老怪物也要膛乎其后，区区几粒丹药在别人的眼里，或许珍贵以极，然而对他来说却不值一提。
Lin Xuan simply wasn’t lacking these items; what he lacked now was time alone.
lín xuān gēn běn jiù bù quē zhè ge dōng xī ， rú jīn tā quē de shì shí jiān ér yǐ 。
林轩根本就不缺这个东西，如今他缺的是时间而已。
Unlike the war with the Three Tribes, this unexpected invasion by ghostly and demonic entities meant that there would be no secluded paradise anywhere in the East Sea. Lin Xuan didn't know how much time he had left, so he wouldn't waste any if possible. Instead of spending more time for his second元婴 to meditate, it was better to consume a large number of spiritual pills.
yǔ sān zú dà zhàn bù tóng ， zhè cì yīn hún guǐ wù yì wài qīn rù ， zhěng gè dōng hǎi dōu bú huì yǒu shì wài táo yuán yī shuō ， lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de ， rú jīn liú gěi zì jǐ de shí jiān hái shèng jǐ hé ， gù ér néng bù dān gē jiù bù dān gē ， yǔ qí duō huā shí jiān ràng dì èr yuán yīng dǎ zuò ， bù rú dà bǎ dà bǎ de fú shí líng dān miào yào suàn le 。
与三族大战不同，这次阴魂鬼物意外侵入，整个东海都不会有世外桃源一说，林轩也不晓得，如今留给自己的时间还剩几何，故而能不耽搁就不耽搁，与其多huā时间让第二元婴打坐，不如大把大把的服食灵丹妙药算了。
Lin Xuan had been on the cultivation path for such a long time that he knew what needed to be done in every situation.
lín xuān tà rù xiū xiān zhī lù zhè me jiǔ ， fán shì gāi rú hé zuò ， dōu shì yǒu zì jǐ kǎo liáng de 。
林轩踏入修仙之路这么久，凡事该如何做，都是有自己考量的。
With this thought, Lin Xuan raised his head and swallowed all three medicinal pills at once. Then, he placed his thumb and index finger together flat on his knees and began meditating.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān yǎng qǐ tóu ， jiāng sān zhǒng dān yào yī gǔ nǎo de tūn luò rù dù ， rán hòu shuāng shǒu shí zhǐ yǔ mǔ zhǐ xiāng kòu ， píng fàng yú shuāng xī ， kāi shǐ le dǎ zuò 。
心中如此想着，林轩仰起头，将三种丹药一股脑的吞落入肚，然后双手食指与拇指相扣，平放于双膝，开始了打坐。
Seven days passed quickly. The damage the second元婴 had suffered was significant; normally, it would take several months to fully recover. However, with the miraculous effects of multiple spiritual pills, Lin Xuan managed to restore the little guy in just a few days.
qī tiān de shí jiān hěn kuài guò qù le ， yuán běn lín xuān dì èr yuán yīng qǐ háng gēng xīn zǔ tí gōng zhè yī cì suǒ shòu de shāng hài fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， àn zhào zhèng cháng de huī fù sù dù ， méi gè sān wǔ gè yuè bié xiǎng yuán qì jǐn fù ， rán ér lín xuān kào zhe duō zhǒng líng dān de shén qí xiào guǒ ， yìng shì zhǐ huā le shù rì de gōng fu ， jiù ràng xiǎo jiā huo shén cǎi yì yì le 。
七天的时间很快过去了，原本林轩第二元婴启航更新组提供这一次所受的伤害非同小可，按照正常的恢复速度，没个三五个月别想元气尽复，然而林轩靠着多种灵丹的神奇效果，硬是只huā了数日的功夫，就让小家伙神采奕奕了。
In the training room, he still kept his eyes closed, but above him was a tiny infant about an inch tall, playing and laughing in his hair. This baby was pitch-black like ink; it was naturally the second元婴.
cǐ shí zài liàn gōng shì lǐ ， tā yī jiù jǐn bì shuāng móu ， dàn zài qí tóu dǐng zhī chù ， què yǒu yí gè gāo yuē cùn xǔ de mí nǐ yīng ér ， zài fà jì shàng xī xiào wán shuǎ zhe ， cǐ yīng ér hún shēn qī hēi rú mò ， bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì dì èr yuán yīng le 。
此时在练功室里，他依旧紧闭双眸，但在其头顶之处，却有一个高约寸许的迷你婴儿，在发髻上嬉笑玩耍着，此婴儿浑身漆黑如墨，不用说，自然是第二元婴了。
Compared to when they met on the small island, this little guy's complexion was rosy, his eyes half-closed with flickering divine light inside. His essence had fully recovered, leaving no trace of harm behind.
yǔ dāng chū zài xiǎo dǎo shàng huì hé shí xiāng bǐ ， cǐ shí xiǎo jiā huo de liǎn sè hóng rùn yǐ jí ， shuāng mù bàn mī ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǒu shén guāng shǎn shuò bù yǐ ， bú yòng shuō ， xī de yuán qì yǐ wán quán huī fù ， sī háo hòu huàn yě bù céng liú xià le 。
与当初在小岛上汇合时相比，此时小家伙的脸色红润以极，双目半眯，里面隐有神光闪烁不已，不用说，牺的元气已完全恢复，丝毫后患也不曾留下了。
After playing for a while, the little guy seemed tired and disappeared into Lin Xuan’s body through his crown.
yòu wán shuǎ piàn kè ， xiǎo jiā huo sì hū yǒu xiē pí lèi le ， suí hòu hún shēn hēi máng yì qǐ ， cóng tiān líng gài chù mò rù le lín xuān de shēn tǐ 。
又玩耍片刻，小家伙似乎有些疲累了，随后浑身黑芒一起，从天灵盖处没入了林轩的身体。
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, showing satisfaction. The second元婴 was now fully restored; this worry in his cultivation was gone.
lín xuān huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi le shuāng móu ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， dì èr yuán yīng huī fù rú chū ， zhè xiū liàn de hòu gù zhī yōu yǐ rán jiě chú 。
林轩缓缓睁开了双眸，脸上露出满意之色，第二元婴恢复如初，这修炼的后顾之忧已然解除。
Next, he reached out and a storage bag flew from his waist. Holding it by the mouth, he gently shook it, revealing countless iron-feather-shaped flying knives with flickering black light.
suí hòu lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yí gè chǔ wù dài cóng yāo jiān fēi lüè chū lái ， lín xuān tí zhe dài kǒu ， qīng qīng yī dǒu ， guāng xiá juǎn guò ， wú shù tiě yǔ xíng zhuàng ， hēi máng shǎn shuò de fēi dāo yìng rù yǎn lián le 。
随后林轩伸手一拍，一个储物袋从腰间飞掠出来，林轩提着袋口，轻轻一抖，光霞卷过，无数铁羽形状，黑芒闪烁的飞刀映入眼帘了。
After eliminating Li Kongsen, the other treasures of this old monster were unimportant, but the power of these Iron Feather Flying Scorpion Knives was truly formidable, making Lin Xuan want to possess them.
jiāng liè kōng zhēn rén miè chú ， cǐ lǎo guài wù qí tā de bǎo wù yě jiù bà le ， zhè tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo de wēi lì wěi shí shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， ràng lín xuān yě pēng rán xīn dòng ， xiǎng yào jiāng qí jù wèi jǐ yǒu 。
将裂空真人灭除，此老怪物其他的宝物也就罢了，这铁羽飞蝗刀的威力委实是非同小可，让林轩也怦然心动，想要将其聚为己有。
He extended his right hand and lightly hooked a flying knife. The knife was enveloped by spiritual light and fell into his palm.
yòu shǒu píng jǔ ， zhǐ tou qīng qīng yī gōu ， yī bǐng fēi dāo jiù bèi líng guāng bāo guǒ ， luò rù le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
右手平举，指头轻轻一勾，一柄飞刀就被灵光包裹，落入了掌心之中。
A silver light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as he looked at the item. After a while, he raised his head with a touch of desolation on his face. Although these Iron Feather Flying Scorpion Knives weren't Li Kongsen’s main treasure, they were made from his feathers and had strong innate marks. Erasing them would require significant time and effort.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng yín máng shǎn guò ， kàn zhe cǐ wù ， shǎo qǐng zhī hòu tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn luò jì zhī sè ， zhè tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo suī rán bú shì liè kōng zhēn rén de běn mìng bǎo wù ， dàn què shì yòng tā shēn shàng de líng yǔ liàn zhì ér chéng de ， yǒu zhe hěn qiáng de běn mìng yìn jì ， xiǎng yào mǒ chú bú shì nà me róng yì de ， xū yào huā fèi dà liàng de shí jiān yǔ gōng fu 。
林轩眼中银芒闪过，看着此物，少顷之后抬起头颅，脸上露出几分落寂之色，这铁羽飞蝗刀虽然不是裂空真人的本命宝物，但却是用他身上的翎羽炼制而成的，有着很强的本命印记，想要抹除不是那么容易的，需要huā费大量的时间与功夫。
Lin Xuan didn’t have the energy to do that now. However, after a moment's thought, he came up with another solution.
lín xuān xiàn zài dāng rán méi yǒu jīng lì nà me zuò ， bù guò lüè yī sī suǒ ， tā yǐ jīng xiǎng dào le lìng wài de jiě jué zhī cè 。
林轩现在当然没有精力那么做，不过略一思索，他已经想到了另外的解决之策。
With a wave of his sleeve, several scattered cultivation materials flew out. Lin Xuan’s hands moved swiftly, setting up a small array in no time.
xiù páo yī fú ， shù zhǒng líng líng suì suì de xiū xiān cái liào fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān shuāng shǒu shàng xià fēi wǔ ， hěn kuài ， yí gè xiǎo qiǎo de zhèn fǎ jiù bù zhì wán bì le 。
袖袍一拂，数种零零碎碎的修仙材料飞掠儿出，林轩双手上下飞舞，很快，一个小巧的阵法就布置完毕了。
It was possible to quickly erase innate marks, such as the spirit-moving array before him. However, generally speaking, cultivators wouldn’t do that because setting up a spirit-moving array wasn't overly extravagant; it consumed large amounts of precious materials each time and had greater value than the crystals obtained from ordinary treasures.
běn mìng yìn jì yě wèi shǐ méi yǒu bàn fǎ xùn sù mǒ chú ， bǐ rú yǎn qián de yí líng zhèn jiù yǒu rú cǐ shén qí de xiào guǒ ， rán ér yì bān lái shuō ， gēn běn jiù bú huì yǒu xiū shì nà me zuò ， wú tā ， bù zhì yí líng zhèn wèi shǐ tài guò shē chǐ le a ， méi shǐ yòng yī cì ， dōu yào xiāo hào dà liàng de zhēn xī cái liào ， duì yú yì bān de fǎ bǎo lái shuō ， cǐ zhèn fǎ de jià zhí ， shèn zhì hái yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le bǎo wù běn shēn suǒ néng gòu huàn qǔ de jīng shí 。
本命印记也未始没有办法迅速抹除，比如眼前的移灵阵就有如此神奇的效果，然而一般来说，根本就不会有修士那么做，无他，布置移灵阵未始太过奢侈了啊，没使用一次，都要消耗大量的珍稀材料，对于一般的法宝来说，此阵法的价值，甚至还远远胜过了宝物本身所能够换取的晶石。
In short, doing this was completely unprofitable.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì zhè me zuò ， wán quán shì dé bù cháng shī de 。
简单的说，就是这么做，完全是得不偿失的。
But Lin Xuan didn’t care. He hadn’t considered such issues at all. As he said before, everyone’s situation was different. His wealth far exceeded that of his peers; even ancient monsters couldn't compare to him.
rán ér lín xuān bù zài hū ， zhè yàng de wèn tí ， tā wán quán bù céng kǎo lǜ ， hái shì nà jù huà ， měi gè rén de qíng kuàng shì bù tóng dì ， shuí ràng tā de shēn jiā yuǎn chāo tóng jiē xiū shì ， jiù suàn shì dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， yě wán quán méi yǒu bàn fǎ xiàng bǐ 。
然而林轩不在乎，这样的问题，他完全不曾考虑，还是那句话，每个人的情况是不同地，谁让他的身家远超同阶修士，就算是洞玄期老怪物，也完全没有办法相比。
Erasing the marks on the treasure using a spirit-moving array would make other cultivators feel extremely stingy. But in Lin Xuan's eyes, it was just a drop in the ocean.
yòng yí líng zhèn jiāng fǎ bǎo de yìn jì mǒ chú ， bié de xiū shì jué de ròu téng bù yǐ ， dàn zài lín xuān kàn lái ， què shì máo máo yǔ 。
用移灵阵将法宝的印记抹除，别的修士觉得肉疼不已，但在林轩看来，却是毛毛雨。
As long as he could save time and spend some money, it was worth it for Lin Xuan.
zhǐ yào néng gòu jié yuē shí jiān ， duō huā yì diǎn cái huò ， zài lín xuān zé lái ， nà shì wán quán zhí de 。
只要能够节约时间，多huā一点财货，在林轩责来，那是完全值得。
The array was set up, and Lin Xuan took out several top-grade crystals to place them at the edges of the array.
zhèn fǎ yǐ jīng bù zhì wán bì ， lín xuān yòu qǔ chū jǐ kuài jí pǐn jīng shí ， wǎng zhèn fǎ biān yuán de āo cáo ān fàng shàng qù 。
阵法已经布置完毕，林轩又取出几块极品晶石，往阵法边缘的凹槽安放上去。
Once the crystals were installed, a milky white light appeared. Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, sending all the Iron Feather Flying Scorpion Knives into the center of the array.
bàn ……， dāng jīng shí ān zhuāng wán bì yǐ hòu ， dùn shí yǒu rǔ bái sè de guāng yùn liàng qǐ ， lín xuān xiù páo yī shuǎi ， jiāng tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo quán bù sòng dào le zhèn fǎ zhōng jiān 。
办……，当晶石安装完毕以后，顿时有乳白色的光晕亮起，林轩袖袍一甩，将铁羽飞蝗刀全部送到了阵法中间。
Several spells were cast, enveloping the treasure in mysterious runes…
suí hòu jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， wú shù shén mì de fú wén cóng zhèn fǎ zhōng pēn bó ， jiāng bǎo wù bāo guǒ ……
随后几道法诀打出，无数神秘的符文从阵法中喷薄，将宝物包裹……
Lin Xuan began using this method to erase Li Kongsen’s marks on the treasure.
lín xuān kāi shǐ yòng zhè lèi sì yú jié jìng de fāng fǎ jiāng liè kōng zhēn rén liú zài shàng miàn de yìn jì mǒ chú 。
林轩开始用这类似于捷径的方法将裂空真人留在上面的印记抹除。
A day and a night quickly passed.
yī tiān yī è yè hěn kuài jiù guò qù le 。
一天一垩夜很快就过去了。
The light from the array gradually dimmed until it disappeared completely.
zhèn fǎ de guāng máng jiàn jiàn yóu míng liàng zhuǎn wéi àn dàn ， zuì hòu ān quán xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
阵法的光芒渐渐由明亮转为暗淡，最后安全消失不见。
New Iron Feather Flying Scorpion Knives appeared before him.
xīn de tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo chū xiàn zài miàn qián 。
新的铁羽飞蝗刀出现在面前。
Not only were the marks erased, but their shape had changed slightly. The new knives resembled willow leaves, extremely thin like cicada wings, and their color turned semi-transparent.
bù zhǐ yìn jì bèi mǒ chú ， lián xíng zhuàng yě lüè yǒu gǎi biàn ， chū xiàn zài miàn qián de shì wú shù liǔ yè xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù ， báo dé yǔ chán yì chà bu duō ， yán sè yě yóu qī hēi biàn chéng le bàn tòu míng de zhuàng tài le 。
不止印记被抹除，连形状也略有改变，出现在面前的是无数柳叶形状的宝物，薄得与蝉翼差不多，颜色也由漆黑变成了半透明的状态了。
Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. Why did such changes occur just by erasing the marks?
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò jǐ fēn gǔ guài zhī sè ， zì jǐ jǐn jǐn shì jiāng cǐ bǎo shàng miàn de yìn jì mǒ chú ， wèi hé huì fā shēng zhè yàng de gǎi biàn ne ？
林轩眼中闪过几分古怪之色，自己仅仅是将此宝上面的印记抹除，为何会发生这样的改变呢？
He didn’t know. Using his divine sense and the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye to check for any issues, he found nothing amiss, so he let it be.
lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， yòu shī zhǎn chū tiān fèng shén mù ， yě méi yǒu fā xiàn rèn hé bù tuǒ ， yú shì yě jiù zuò bà diào le 。
林轩不晓得，将神识放出，又施展出天凤神目，也没有发现任何不妥，于是也就作罢掉了。
In any case, these changes were beneficial; the semi-transparent form allowed for more unexpected attacks.
fǎn zhèng zhè yàng de gǎi biàn yǒu hǎo chù ， bàn tòu míng de xíng tài tōu xí yuè fā de néng yǒu chū qí bù yì de xiào guǒ 。
反正这样的改变有好处，半透明的形态偷袭越发的能有出其不意的效果。
Lin Xuan raised both hands like a butterfly, casting numerous mystical seals in the air. After a brief flash, the Iron Feather Flying Scorpion Knives flew away.
suí hòu lín xuān shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān fēi wǔ ， yí gè gè xuán miào de fǎ yìn chū xiàn zài xū kōng zhī zhōng ， rán hòu lüè yī shǎn shuò ， jiù xiàng tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo fēi lüè ér qù le 。
随后林轩双手抬起，如穿huā蝴蝶一般飞舞，一个个玄妙的法印出现在虚空之中，然后略一闪烁，就像铁羽飞煌刀飞掠而去了。
By recognizing the treasure and imprinting his innate mark on it, Lin Xuan could now control it freely when fighting.
lín xuān zhè me zuò ， shì jiāng cǐ bǎo rèn zhǔ ， bǎ zì jǐ de běn mìng yìn jì lào yìn zài shàng tou ， yǐ hòu qū shǐ cǐ bǎo duì dí de shí hòu ， cái néng shōu fàng zì rú 。
林轩这么做，是将此宝认主，把自己的本命印记烙印在上头，以后驱使此宝对敌的时候，才能收放自如。
The process was smooth and didn’t require much time or effort.
zhěng gè guò chéng shùn lì wú bǐ ， me yǒu huā duō shǎo shí jiān yǔ jīng lì 。
整个过程顺利无比，么有huā多少时间与精力。
After completing the marking, Lin Xuan stored the knife in his waist pouch.
děng lào yìn wán bì ， lín xuān jiāng cǐ bǎo shōu rù dào yāo jiān de xū yú dài lǐ 。
等烙印完毕，林轩将此宝收入到腰间的须臾袋里。
"Phew."
“ hū 。”
“呼。”
Lin Xuan sighed with relief. The things he needed to handle were finally done; now, he should focus on cultivation.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， gāi chǔ lǐ de shì qíng zhōng yú chǔ lǐ wán le ， jiē xià lái gāi hǎo hǎo xiū liàn 。
林轩松了口气，该处理的事情终于处理完了，接下来该好好修炼。
Just as he thought this, a glimmer of divine light flashed through his mind. Wait, he seemed to have forgotten something.
zhèng zhè yàng xiǎng zhe ， nǎo hǎi zhōng tū rán yǒu líng guāng shǎn guò ， děng děng ， zì jǐ sì hū hái luò diào le yī jiàn dōng xī 。
正这样想着，脑海中突然有灵光闪过，等等，自己似乎还落掉了一件东西。
Even though cultivators had the ability to remember everything they saw, if there were too many things, it was inevitable that they would be careless at times.
suī rán xiū xiān zhě yǒu guò mù bù wàng de shén tōng ， dàn shì qíng rú guǒ tài duō ， yě nán miǎn yǒu shū hū dà yì de yī kè 。
虽然修仙者有过目不忘的神通，但事情如果太多，也难免有疏忽大意的一刻。
A wise man might make one mistake in a thousand considerations. This saying was ancient and well-known.
zhì zhě qiān lǜ ， bì yǒu yī shī ， zhè jù huà gǔ rén zǎo jiù yǒu tí 。
智者千虑，必有一失，这句话古人早就有提。
Lin Xuan reached his waist and slapped it; a palm-sized, black object flew before him.
lín xuān shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo ， hēi hū hū de shì wù ， jiù fēi dào le yǎn qián 。
林轩伸手在腰间一拍，一巴掌大小，黑乎乎的事物，就飞到了眼前。
This item came from the auction where the old monster had been. His infant fire hadn’t yet been refined, so if he guessed correctly, it should be a treasure.
zhè dōng xī ， shì cóng nà pāi mài huì ， dòng xuán qī lǎo zhě shēn shàng suǒ de ， zì jǐ de yīng huǒ ， yě bù céng jiāng qí liàn huà ， rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， yīng gāi shì yī jiàn bǎo wù de 。
这东西，是从那拍卖会，洞玄期老者身上所得，自己的婴火，也不曾将其炼化，如果没有料错，应该是一件宝物的。
Lin Xuan touched it with his hand; the material seemed to be animal skin, and there were tiny inscriptions on it. Lin Xuan delved into his divine sense…!~!
Moreover, it wasn't just one pill; the other two types of medicinal pills were rather obscure items. However, in terms of their effects, they weren’t inferior to True Essence Pills.
Lin Xuan's actions were enough to make ordinary cultivators bang their chests and stomp their feet. They had never seen anyone so extravagant before.
However, Lin Xuan didn't feel that way. Everyone’s situation was different. Although he was only at the Separation stage, his wealth far surpassed even the ancient monsters of the Void Profound realm. A few pills in others' eyes might be extremely precious, but to him, they were nothing.
Lin Xuan simply wasn’t lacking these items; what he lacked now was time alone.
Unlike the war with the Three Tribes, this unexpected invasion by ghostly and demonic entities meant that there would be no secluded paradise anywhere in the East Sea. Lin Xuan didn't know how much time he had left, so he wouldn't waste any if possible. Instead of spending more time for his second元婴 to meditate, it was better to consume a large number of spiritual pills.
Lin Xuan had been on the cultivation path for such a long time that he knew what needed to be done in every situation.
With this thought, Lin Xuan raised his head and swallowed all three medicinal pills at once. Then, he placed his thumb and index finger together flat on his knees and began meditating.
Seven days passed quickly. The damage the second元婴 had suffered was significant; normally, it would take several months to fully recover. However, with the miraculous effects of multiple spiritual pills, Lin Xuan managed to restore the little guy in just a few days.

In any case, these changes were beneficial; the semi-transparent form allowed for more unexpected attacks.
Lin Xuan raised both hands like a butterfly, casting numerous mystical seals in the air. After a brief flash, the Iron Feather Flying Scorpion Knives flew away.
By recognizing the treasure and imprinting his innate mark on it, Lin Xuan could now control it freely when fighting.
The process was smooth and didn’t require much time or effort.
After completing the marking, Lin Xuan stored the knife in his waist pouch.
"Phew."
Lin Xuan sighed with relief. The things he needed to handle were finally done; now, he should focus on cultivation.
Just as he thought this, a glimmer of divine light flashed through his mind. Wait, he seemed to have forgotten something.
Even though cultivators had the ability to remember everything they saw, if there were too many things, it was inevitable that they would be careless at times.
A wise man might make one mistake in a thousand considerations. This saying was ancient and well-known.
Lin Xuan reached his waist and slapped it; a palm-sized, black object flew before him.
This item came from the auction where the old monster had been. His infant fire hadn’t yet been refined, so if he guessed correctly, it should be a treasure.
Lin Xuan touched it with his hand; the material seemed to be animal skin, and there were tiny inscriptions on it. Lin Xuan delved into his divine sense…!~!
