shòu shǒu xī shōu le líng lì yǐ hòu ， shuāng yǎn chù jìng rán mào chū le yāo yì de hóng guāng ， bìng qiě qīng qīng wēng míng chàn dòng bù zhǐ 。
兽首吸收了灵力以后，双眼处竟然冒出了妖异的红光，并且轻轻嗡鸣颤动不止。
The beast head, after absorbing essence energy, emitted a strange red light from its eyes and began to hum softly.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng gèng jiā yán sù ， shuāng shǒu xū bào ， kǒu zhōng nán nán de niàn sòng qǐ le zhòu yǔ ， hún shēn de líng lì ， gèng shì rú gǔn shuǐ yī yàng de *** qǐ lái 。
林轩的表情更加严肃，双手虚抱，口中喃喃的念诵起了咒语，浑身的灵力，更是如滚水一样的***起来。
Lin Xuan's expression grew more serious. He held his hands in the air and muttered incantations under his breath as his body’s essence energy surged like boiling water.
lín xuān kǒu zhōng yī shēng qīng chì ， zài cì dǎ chū le yī dào fǎ jué 。
林轩口中一声轻叱，再次打出了一道法诀。
With a sharp command, Lin Xuan cast another spell.
hōng de yī shēng ， cóng shòu shǒu pēn shè chū shù zhàng gāo de huǒ zhù ， zhěng gè liàn gōng fáng de wēn dù jī hū shì zhòu rán kuáng zhǎng ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xǐ sè ， yǔ pǔ tōng de dì mài zhī huǒ bù tóng ， cǐ shí nà huǒ zhù zài xiān hóng zhī zhōng ， jū rán lüè lüè dài le yì diǎn jīn sè 。
轰的一声，从兽首喷射出数丈高的火柱，整个练功房的温度几乎是骤然狂涨，林轩的脸上露出一丝喜色，与普通的地脉之火不同，此时那火柱在鲜红之中，居然略略带了一点金色。
A loud explosion sounded as several dozen feet-high flames shot out from the beast head. The temperature of the practice room skyrocketed almost instantly. A hint of joy appeared on Lin Xuan's face. Unlike ordinary earth energy flames, this flame column was tinged with a slight golden hue amidst its deep red.
gǎn shòu nà wēn dù ， yǔ chún yáng dān huǒ yǐ shì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
感受那温度，与纯阳丹火已是相差仿佛。
The temperature felt similar to that of pure yang essence fire.
bù guò zhè jǐn jǐn shì dì yī bù ， lín xuān sī háo yě méi yǒu sōng jìn zhī yì ， fǎn ér shēn shēn de xī le kǒu qì ， tǐ nèi líng lì liú zhuǎn ， rán hòu huǎn huǎn de zhāng kāi kǒu lái ， tǔ chū yī dào xiān xì de chì bái sè huǒ yàn 。
不过这仅仅是第一步，林轩丝毫也没有松劲之意，反而深深的吸了口气，体内灵力流转，然后缓缓的张开口来，吐出一道纤细的赤白色火焰。
However, this was just the first step. Lin Xuan showed no signs of easing up; instead, he took a deep breath and guided his essence energy through his body before slowly opening his mouth to exhale a thin, blood-white flame.
xiān tiān zhēn huǒ ！
先天真火！
Primordial True Fire!
guāng yòng dì mài zhī huǒ liàn bǎo yě shì bù xíng de ， bì xū lào shàng zì jǐ de yìn jì ， cái néng zuò dào xīn shén hé yī 。
光用地脉之火炼宝也是不行的，必须烙上自己的印记，才能做到心神合一。
Simply refining treasures using earth energy flames wasn't enough; it had to be marked with one's own imprint for heart and soul to align.
lín xuān pēn chū xiān tiān zhēn huǒ yǐ hòu ， jiù xiǎo xīn de cāo zòng zhe tā jìn rù dào dì mài zhī huǒ zhōng 。
林轩喷出先天真火以后，就小心的操纵着它进入到地脉之火中。
After expelling the primordial true fire, Lin Xuan carefully guided it into the earth energy flames.
xiān jiāng liǎng zhě róng hé ……
先将两者融合……
First, merge them...
yí gè shí chén yǐ hòu 。
一个时辰以后。
An hour later.
shòu shǒu tíng zhǐ le pēn huǒ 。 liàn dān fáng zhōng huī fù rú chū 。 lín xuān jìng jìng zuò zài dì shàng 。 liǎn shàng dì biǎo qíng kàn bù chū xǐ nù 。
兽首停止了喷火。炼丹房中恢复如初。林轩静静坐在地上。脸上地表情看不出喜怒。
The beast head stopped spouting flames. The practice room returned to its original state. Lin Xuan sat quietly on the ground; his expression showed no emotion.
shǎo qǐng 。 tā tàn le kǒu qì 。 chóng xīn dǎ chū yī dào fǎ jué 。 kāi shǐ jī fā dì mài zhī huǒ 。 liàn bǎo guǒ rán shì méi yǒu nà me róng yì dì 。 hái méi yǒu kāi shǐ jì liàn xuán huǒ shén zhū 。 guāng shì dì yī bù jiāng liǎng zhǒng huǒ yàn róng hé 。 jiù yǐ shī bài gào zhōng 。
少顷。他叹了口气。重新打出一道法诀。开始激发地脉之火。炼宝果然是没有那么容易地。还没有开始祭炼玄火神珠。光是第一步将两种火焰融合。就以失败告终。
He sighed and cast another spell to activate the earth energy flames. Refining treasures was not easy. Even before he could begin to worship the divine fire, the first step of merging the two flames had already failed.
zài xīn zhōng huí wèi le yī xià gāng cái dì guò chéng 。 lín xuān chóng xīn kāi shǐ le cháng shì 。
在心中回味了一下刚才地过程。林轩重新开始了尝试。
Recalling the process in his mind, Lin Xuan started trying again.
zhè yī cì 。 dāng shòu shǒu pēn chū huǒ zhù yǐ hòu 。 lín xuān bìng méi yǒu jí zhe jiāng xiān tiān zhēn huǒ yǔ qí róng hé 。 ér shì lüè lüè chén yín le yī xià 。 shuāng shǒu lián qiā 。 jiē lián shù shí dào fǎ jué dǎ rù shēn qián dì huǒ zhù 。
这一次。当兽首喷出火柱以后。林轩并没有急着将先天真火与其融合。而是略略沉吟了一下。双手连掐。接连数十道法诀打入身前地火柱。
This time, after the beast head emitted a flame column, Lin Xuan did not immediately merge it with the primordial true fire. Instead, he hesitated slightly and continuously cast dozens of spells into the flame column before him.
huǒ zhù xī shōu líng lì yǐ hòu 。 guǐ yì dì kāi shǐ biàn xíng 。
火柱吸收灵力以后。诡异地开始变形。
The flame column began to deform as it absorbed essence energy.
hěn kuài ， zhěng gè huǒ zhù yī shōu 。 jù hé zài yì qǐ ， yí gè zhí jìng yuē yǒu yī mǐ de huǒ qiú chū xiàn zài bàn kōng zhī zhōng 。
很快，整个火柱一收。聚合在一起，一个直径约有一米的火球出现在半空之中。
Soon, the entire flame column contracted and gathered together, forming a fiery ball about a meter in diameter mid-air.
lín xuān mǎn yì de diǎn diǎn tóu ， yòu shì yī dào fǎ lì cóng zhǐ jiān jī shè ér chū ， mò rù shòu shǒu 。
林轩满意的点点头，又是一道法力从指尖激射而出，没入兽首。
Lin Xuan nodded approvingly. Another burst of power shot from his fingertips and entered the beast head.
shòu shǒu yī zhèn qīng wēi de chàn dòng ， cóng lǐ miàn pēn chū de huǒ yàn zhú jiàn jiǎn xiǎo ， zuì hòu suō dào dà yuē yī gēn mǔ zhǐ cū xì zuǒ yòu ， gāng hǎo wéi chí huǒ qiú dì xiāo hào 。
兽首一阵轻微的颤动，从里面喷出的火焰逐渐减小，最后缩到大约一根拇指粗细左右，刚好维持火球地消耗。
The beast head trembled slightly, and the flames emitted gradually diminished until they were roughly as thick as a thumb, just enough to maintain the consumption of the fireball.
lín xuān de é tóu shàng yǐ jīng chū xiàn le hàn dī 。 dàn zhè shí hòu kě méi yǒu shí jiān xiū xī ， yī gǔ zuò qì ， zhāng kāi zuǐ ， zài cì pēn chū le chì bái sè de xiān tiān zhēn huǒ 。
林轩的额头上已经出现了汗滴。但这时候可没有时间休息，一鼓作气，张开嘴，再次喷出了赤白色的先天真火。
Sweat beads appeared on Lin Xuan's forehead. But there was no time for rest; he opened his mouth again and expelled another thin blood-white primordial true fire.
nà xiān tiān zhēn huǒ yuán běn xiān xì yǐ jí ， kě què xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhōng ， suí zhe lín xuān bù tíng dì pēn shè ， yǐ rán yuē jù yuè duō ， zuì hòu xíng chéng le yí gè quán tou dà xiǎo de guāng qiú 。
那先天真火原本纤细以极，可却悬浮在半空中，随着林轩不停地喷射，已然约聚越多，最后形成了一个拳头大小的光球。
The primordial true fire originally so fine now hovered in mid-air, gathering more as Lin Xuan continuously shot it out, eventually forming a fist-sized light ball.
cǐ shí lín xuān lián liǎn sè dōu huī bái le qǐ lái ， fǎ lì xiāo hào guò jù ， xìng hǎo tā zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi 。 tūn xià le jǐ lì zhù jī dān hé bǔ líng dān 。
此时林轩连脸色都灰白了起来，法力消耗过巨，幸好他早有准备。吞下了几粒筑基丹和补灵丹。
Lin Xuan's face turned pale. The consumption of essence energy was immense, but fortunately, he had prepared. He swallowed several base foundation pills and replenishing essence pills.
yào lì zài tǐ nèi huà kāi ， dān tián nèi chóng xīn yǒu le yī gǔ lǎn yáng yáng de gǎn jué ， lín xuān shén sè yī huǎn 。 shāo shāo xiū xī le piàn kè ， rán hòu chóng xīn tí qǐ jīng shén ， cāo zòng liǎng gè huǒ qiú róng hé 。
药力在体内化开，丹田内重新有了一股懒洋洋的感觉，林轩神色一缓。稍稍休息了片刻，然后重新提起精神，操纵两个火球融合。
The medicinal power spread through his body, and the dantian felt sluggish again. Lin Xuan relaxed slightly and rested for a moment before resuming his efforts to merge the two fireballs.
yī kāi shǐ hái shì yǒu pái chì ， dàn míng xiǎn ， bǐ gāng cái de zǔ lì xiǎo dé duō 。
一开始还是有排斥，但明显，比刚才的阻力小得多。
Initially, there was resistance, but it was much less than before.
lín xuān xiǎo xīn yì yì de kòng zhì zhe 。
林轩小心翼翼的控制着。
Lin Xuan carefully controlled the process.
zhōng yú liǎng gè huǒ qiú hé èr wéi yī ， zài yě bù fēn bǐ cǐ 。
终于两个火球合二为一，再也不分彼此。
Finally, the two fireballs merged into one, no longer distinguishable from each other.
lín xuān zǒng suàn sōng le kǒu qì 。 zhè zuì nán de yī bù yǐ jīng wán chéng ， yǒu le zhè pì měi chún yáng dān huǒ de huǒ yàn ， xià miàn dì bù zhòu jiù yào qīng sōng dé duō 。
林轩总算松了口气。这最难的一步已经完成，有了这媲美纯阳丹火的火焰，下面地步骤就要轻松得多。
Relieved, Lin Xuan exhaled. The hardest step had been completed. With this flame rivaling pure yang essence fire, the subsequent steps would be much easier.
shǒu yī zhāo ， nà xuán huǒ shén zhū xú xú de fēi le guò qù ， jìn rù dào huǒ qiú de zhōng yāng ， rán hòu lín xuān yī zhāng zuǐ ， zài cì cóng zuǐ lǐ pēn chū yī dào xiān xì de xiān tiān zhēn huǒ ， bǔ chōng jìn huǒ qiú zhī zhōng 。
手一招，那玄火神珠徐徐的飞了过去，进入到火球的中央，然后林轩一张嘴，再次从嘴里喷出一道纤细的先天真火，补充进火球之中。
He waved his hand, and the divine fire gem slowly flew over to the center of the fireball. Then, Lin Xuan opened his mouth again and expelled a thin blood-white primordial true fire to replenish it.
zhè yī jì liàn ， jiù shì qī qī sì shí jiǔ tiān zhī jiǔ 。
这一祭炼，就是七七四十九天之久。
This refinement lasted for forty-nine days.
suī rán dà bù fèn dōu shì yī * dì mài zhī huǒ de lì liàng 。 xiān tiān zhī huǒ jǐn jǐn shì lào xià zì jǐ de yìn jì 。 lín xuān hái shì lèi dé gòu qiàng 。
虽然大部分都是依*地脉之火的力量。先天之火仅仅是烙下自己的印记。林轩还是累得够呛。
Although most of the work relied on earth energy flames, with the primordial flame only leaving its mark, Lin Xuan was still exhausted.
xìng hǎo dān yào chōng zú 。
幸好丹药充足。
Fortunately, he had plenty of medicinal pills.
qí shí fǎ lì de xiāo hào hái bù suàn shén me 。
其实法力的消耗还不算什么。
However, the essence energy consumption wasn't as significant. The key challenge was that every midnight, noon, and sunset, he needed to condense his essence qi into a light ball and inject it into the divine fire gem.
guān jiàn shì měi tiān de zi shí ， wǔ shí 。 hái yǒu xū shí zhè sān kè ， dōu bì xū jiāng tǐ nèi de jīng qì níng jù yā suō chéng yí gè guāng tuán ， rán hòu pēn rù dào xuán huǒ shén zhū lǐ miàn 。
关键是每天的子时，午时。还有戌时这三刻，都必须将体内的精气凝聚压缩成一个光团，然后喷入到玄火神珠里面。
This process was similar to how condensation cultivators cultivated their true essence for treasure cultivation.
zhè yǔ níng dān xiū shì yòng zhēn yuán péi yǎng fǎ bǎo yǒu yì qǔ tóng gōng zhī miào 。
这与凝丹修士用真元培养法宝有异曲同工之妙。
But this alternative method allowed even base foundation stage cultivators to achieve such feats. Of course, there were obvious risks; it would greatly deplete his essence qi, though not necessarily endanger his life. Without replenishment, he might drop in cultivation level.
zhè bù guò zhè zhǒng lìng pì xī jìng de fāng fǎ ， ràng zhù jī qī xiū shì yě zuò dé dào ， dāng rán ， yǐn huàn yě jí qí míng xiǎn ， huì ràng shī shù zhě jīng qì dà wèi sǔn hào ， suī bù zhì yú yǒu xìng mìng zhī yōu ， dàn dé bú dào bǔ chōng què huì jìng jiè diào luò 。
这不过这种另辟蹊径的方法，让筑基期修士也做得到，当然，隐患也极其明显，会让施术者精气大为损耗，虽不至于有性命之忧，但得不到补充却会境界掉落。
However, Lin Xuan had no need to worry about that.
dāng rán ， lín xuān shì bù yòng yǒu cǐ dān xīn dì le 。
当然，林轩是不用有此担心地了。
That "Essence Elixir Powder" was not for show. Every time he expelled a breath of essence qi, he consumed one pill.
nà yī lú “ jīng yuán sàn ” kě bú shì ná lái hǎo kàn 。
那一炉“精元散”可不是拿来好看。
This way, he could continue the process.
měi pēn chū yī kǒu jīng qì ， jiù fú yòng yī lì 。
每喷出一口精气，就服用一粒。
But soon, danger approached again. It wasn't due to any unexpected accidents during the refining process but because the time required exceeded his expectations.
zhè yàng dé dào bǔ chōng de tā yě jiù zhī chí le xià qù 。
这样得到补充的他也就支持了下去。
According to the instructions in the jade cylinder, such ancient treasures took nine to fifteen days to refine. Lin Xuan prepared a full batch of "Essence Elixir Powder," one hundred pills, out of caution.
kě hěn kuài ， wēi jī hái shì xiàng tā xí lái ， dào bú shì liàn bǎo tú zhōng chū xiàn le shén me yì wài ， ér shì suǒ huà de shí jiān bǐ yù liào zhōng dì yào zhǎng yì diǎn 。
可很快，危机还是像他袭来，倒不是炼宝途中出现了什么意外，而是所化的时间比预料中地要长一点。
He had thought that with so many medicinal pills, he could last for a month, more than enough.
gēn jù yù tǒng jiǎn lǐ de jiè shào ， liàn zhì cǐ lèi yì zhǒng gǔ bǎo dà yuē xū yào jiǔ zhì shí wǔ tiān ， lín xuān bào zhe wěn tuǒ yì diǎn de xīn lǐ ， zhǔn bèi le zú zú yī lú de “ jīng yuán sàn ”， yě jiù shì yì bǎi lì 。
根据玉筒简里的介绍，炼制此类异种古宝大约需要九至十五天，林轩抱着稳妥一点的心理，准备了足足一炉的“精元散”，也就是一百粒。
But fate was unpredictable; various ancient treasures required different times, and the instructions in the jade cylinder might not be accurate. The refining process took much longer—thirty-three days—and the Essence Elixir Powder ran out.
yuán běn yǐ wéi rú cǐ zhī duō de dān yào ， kě yǐ zhī chēng yí yuè zhī jiǔ ， jué duì shì yuǎn yuǎn gòu yòng 。
原本以为如此之多的丹药，可以支撑一月之久，绝对是远远够用。
Lin Xuan faced two choices: either give up now and stop refining this treasure or persevere. After all, he had already made significant progress, and things had been going smoothly. If he could endure to complete it, its power might exceed expectations, allowing him to unleash nearly half of its divine abilities.
nǎ zhī dào tiān yǒu bù cè fēng yún ， rén yǒu dàn xī huò fú ， gè zhǒng gǔ bǎo de qíng kuàng bù yí yàng ， zhè yù tǒng lǐ dì jiè shào yě jiù wèi bì zhǔn què ， liàn zhì zhè xuán huǒ shén zhū ， huā de shí jiān yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò ， jiē guò sān shí sān tiān yǐ hòu ， jīng yuán sàn jiù chī wán le 。
哪知道天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福，各种古宝的情况不一样，这玉筒里地介绍也就未必准确，炼制这玄火神珠，花的时间远远超过，接过三十三天以后，精元散就吃完了。
How should he decide?
cǐ shí lín xuān miàn lín zhe liǎng gè xuǎn zé ， yào me jiù cǐ fàng qì ， tíng zhǐ cuì liàn cǐ bǎo ， dāng rán ， bàn tú ér fèi kěn dìng bú huì yǒu shén me hǎo xià chǎng ， xuán huǒ shén zhū kěn dìng suàn shì fèi le ， wēi lì hái bù jí yòng yì bān de fāng fǎ liàn zhì ， zuì duō yě jiù xiāng dāng yú shàng pǐn líng qì 。
此时林轩面临着两个选择，要么就此放弃，停止淬炼此宝，当然，半途而废肯定不会有什么好下场，玄火神珠肯定算是废了，威力还不及用一般的方法炼制，最多也就相当于上品灵器。
Lin Xuan struggled for a while but ultimately decided to grit his teeth and persevere. Giving up halfway was not in line with his style; how could he let this almost-gained treasure become worthless!
yào me jiù shì jiān chí ， bì jìng cǐ bǎo yǐ jīng liàn zhì le yī dà bàn ， ér qiě cǐ qián dōu hěn shùn lì ， zhǐ yào kǔ chēng zhe wán chéng ， wēi lì huò xǔ hái yào chāo guò yù qī ， néng gòu fā huī chū tā jìn bàn de shén tōng wēi néng 。
要么就是坚持，毕竟此宝已经炼制了一大半，而且此前都很顺利，只要苦撑着完成，威力或许还要超过预期，能够发挥出它近半的神通威能。
Moreover, even if the essence qi consumption was great, as long as he replenished it afterward, his cultivation level might not drop. In short, he would give it everything!
The beast head, after absorbing essence energy, emitted a strange red light from its eyes and began to hum softly.
Lin Xuan's expression grew more serious. He held his hands in the air and muttered incantations under his breath as his body’s essence energy surged like boiling water.
"Rise!"
With a sharp command, Lin Xuan cast another spell.
A loud explosion sounded as several dozen feet-high flames shot out from the beast head. The temperature of the practice room skyrocketed almost instantly. A hint of joy appeared on Lin Xuan's face. Unlike ordinary earth energy flames, this flame column was tinged with a slight golden hue amidst its deep red.
The temperature felt similar to that of pure yang essence fire.
However, this was just the first step. Lin Xuan showed no signs of easing up; instead, he took a deep breath and guided his essence energy through his body before slowly opening his mouth to exhale a thin, blood-white flame.
Primordial True Fire!
Simply refining treasures using earth energy flames wasn't enough; it had to be marked with one's own imprint for heart and soul to align.
After expelling the primordial true fire, Lin Xuan carefully guided it into the earth energy flames.
First, merge them...
An hour later.
The beast head stopped spouting flames. The practice room returned to its original state. Lin Xuan sat quietly on the ground; his expression showed no emotion.
He sighed and cast another spell to activate the earth energy flames. Refining treasures was not easy. Even before he could begin to worship the divine fire, the first step of merging the two flames had already failed.
