精气神皆已恢复，林轩伸出手来，在腰间一拍，灵光一闪，一拳头大小的晶核浮现于眼前。＋◆随＋◆梦＋◆小＋◆说，.com
Qi, spirit, and essence had fully recovered. Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and tapped his waist. A flash of light appeared before him, revealing a crystal nucleus the size of a fist.
cǐ jīng hé zuò huǒ hóng sè ， lǐ miàn yǒu yī zhǎng cùn xǔ dà xiǎo de mí lí mó niǎo ， xíng mào yǔ yáng zhī niǎo nà jiào yí gè wéi miào wéi xiào ， bú yòng shuō ， shì cǐ mó qín de jīng pò 。
此晶核做火红色，里面有一长寸许大小的迷离魔鸟，形貌与阳脂鸟那叫一个惟妙惟肖，不用说，是此魔禽的晶魄。
This crystal nucleus was fire-red in color, containing a magical bird about an inch long that resembled Yangzhi Bird down to the last detail. It was undoubtedly the spirit essence of this demon bird.
cǐ wù gāng gāng xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， lì kè lì máng dà zuò ， zhěng gè bèi huǒ hóng sè de jīng máng bāo guǒ ， yǐ xùn léi bù jí yǎn ěr zhī shì ， xiàng zhe wài miàn fēi qù le 。
此物刚刚显现而出，立刻厉芒大做，整个被火红色的精芒包裹，以迅雷不及掩耳之势，向着外面飞去了。
As soon as it appeared, a fierce light suddenly emanated from it. The entire crystal nucleus was enveloped by a fiery glow and shot outwards with lightning speed.
“ pǎo ， dōu dào le cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nǐ yǐ wéi hái yǒu jī huì ， táo chū lín mǒu de shǒu zhǎng xīn me ？”
“跑，都到了此时此刻，你以为还有机会，逃出林某的手掌心么？”
"Run? Even now, do you think there's still any chance of escaping my palm?" Lin Xuan's face showed mockery. Without moving much, he raised his right hand, and a streak of green light swept across the air, encasing the crystal nucleus.
lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì jī cháo zhī sè ， yě bú jiàn tā duō shě de dòng zuò ， yòu shǒu qīng qīng yī tái ， yī dào qīng xiá píng kōng xí juǎn ， jiāng nà jīng hé bāo guǒ zài lǐ miàn 。
林轩脸上满是讥嘲之色，也不见他多舍的动作，右手轻轻一抬，一道青霞凭空席卷，将那晶核包裹在里面。
Back then, when Lin Xuan was only at the Daoist Profound stage, he could easily eliminate Yangzhi Bird. Now, one side had only its spirit essence left while the other had advanced to the Spirit Cultivation Stage—a vast difference beyond comparison.
dāng chū ， lín xuān hái jǐn shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， jiù néng gòu jiāng yáng zhī niǎo qīng yì miè chú ， rú jīn ， yī fāng zhǐ shèng xià jīng pò ， lìng wài yī fāng ， zé jìn jiē chéng le fēn shén qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， bǐ cǐ jiān de chā jù ， gèng shì bù kě yǐ dào lǐ jì 。
当初，林轩还仅是洞玄期修仙者，就能够将阳脂鸟轻易灭除，如今，一方只剩下晶魄，另外一方，则进阶成了分神期的大能修仙者，彼此间的差距，更是不可以道理计。
Encased by the green light, the crystal nucleus tried to move around but was as futile as an ant trying to shake a tree.
bèi nà qīng xiá bāo guǒ ， jīng hé zuǒ chōng yòu tū ， què rú tóng pí fú hàn shù ， méi yǒu bàn fēn xiào guǒ 。
被那青霞包裹，晶核左冲右突，却如同蚍蜉撼树，没有半分效果。
"Still not cooperating?" Lin Xuan sighed and gently pointed his right hand forward.
“ hái bù lǎo shí yì diǎn me ？”
“还不老实一点么？”
Instantly, a bolt of lightning appeared. It lasted for several breaths before the spirit essence was thoroughly shocked into silence.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， dòng zuò qīng róu yì cháng de cháo zhe qián miàn diǎn qù 。
林轩叹了口气，右手抬起，动作轻柔异常的朝着前面点去。
The crystal nucleus was pulled by an invisible force, spinning around before landing in Lin Xuan's palm.
shà shí jiān ， yī dào diàn máng fú xiàn ér qǐ ， chí xù le yuē yǒu shù xī ， nà jīng hún bèi diàn le gè qī hūn bā sù ， zhōng yú ān jìng xià lái le 。
霎时间，一道电芒浮现而起，持续了约有数息，那精魂被电了个七荤八素，终于安静下来了。
Looking at this object, Lin Xuan's gaze seemed to be lost in thought.
jīng hé bèi yī gǔ wú xíng de lì liàng qiān yǐn zhe ， dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， suí hòu luò dào le lín xuān de zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
晶核被一股无形的力量牵引着，滴溜溜一转，随后落到了林轩的掌心里面。
Could Yangzhi Bird inherit enough phoenix bloodline to extract True Blood of Heavenly Phoenix from the crystal nucleus?
wàng zhe cǐ wù ， lín xuān de yǎn shén yǒu xiē mí lí le 。
望着此物，林轩的眼神有些迷离了。
Lin Xuan didn't know for sure!
yáng zhī niǎo kě jì chéng le bù shǎo fèng huáng de xuè tǒng ， néng fǒu cóng zhè jīng hé zhōng tí liàn chū tiān fèng zhēn xuè lái ne ？
阳脂鸟可继承了不少凤凰的血统，能否从这晶核中提炼出天凤真血来呢？
But deep down, he was filled with anticipation. He had to try. The more true spirit blood that could be fused, the better it would be for him.
lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de ！
林轩也不晓得！
After all, among true spirits, phoenixes ranked in the top three. Although their power fell short of immortals by a slight margin, they were far beyond ordinary Tribulation Transcenders.
bù guò nèi xīn shēn chù ， zì rán shì chōng mǎn le qī dài de 。
不过内心深处，自然是充满了期待的。
If there was an opportunity to fuse True Blood of Heavenly Phoenix, Lin Xuan wouldn't let it slip away; otherwise, he would be struck by lightning five times.
zǒng yào shì yī shì ， néng gòu róng hé de zhēn líng zhī xuè yuè duō ， duì zì jǐ yuè yǒu hǎo chù 。
总要试一试，能够融合的真灵之血越多，对自己越有好处。
A hint of madness flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes. However, how to extract the true blood still required considerable effort.
hé kuàng jí biàn shì zhēn líng zhī zhōng ， fèng huáng yě shì néng gòu pái míng qián sān de qiáng zhě ， shí lì suī rán yǔ xiān rén xiāng bǐ ， yào lüè wēi xùn sè nà me yī xiē ， dàn yě yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de dù jié qī cún zài kě yǐ bǐ nǐ 。
何况即便是真灵之中，凤凰也是能够排名前三的强者，实力虽然与仙人相比，要略微逊色那么一些，但也远非普通的渡劫期存在可以比拟。
There was nothing to refer to, and none of his previous books mentioned this method. In other words, he had to figure it out on his own.
tiān fèng zhēn xuè ， ruò yǒu jī huì róng hé ， nà zì rán shì bú huì fàng guò ， fǒu zé huì bèi tiān dǎ wǔ léi pī de 。
天凤真血，若有机会融合，那自然是不会放过，否则会被天打五雷劈的。
Lin Xuan sighed. He held the crystal nucleus in both hands and cast a levitation technique first.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī kuáng rè ， bù guò gāi rú hé jiāng zhēn xuè tí chún chū lái ne ， què yī jiù yào fèi yī fān bō zhé 。
林轩眼中闪过一丝狂热，不过该如何将真血提纯出来呢，却依旧要费一番波折。
The spirit essence was enveloped by a layer of blue light, floating three feet above his head.
méi yǒu shén me dōng xī kě yǐ jiè jiàn ， zì jǐ yǐ qián suǒ fān yuè de diǎn jí ， yě cóng lái bù céng tí guò ， huàn jù huà shuō ， zhǐ yǒu zì jǐ mō suǒ 。
没有什么东西可以借鉴，自己以前所翻阅的典籍，也从来不曾提过，换句话说，只有自己摸索。
Then Lin Xuan raised both hands, and one after another, magical seals appeared before vanishing into the spirit essence.
lín xuān tàn le qì ， shuāng shǒu wò zhe jīng hé ， xiān shì yī dào piāo fú shù dǎ chū 。
林轩叹了气，双手握着晶核，先是一道漂浮术打出。
However, there was no effect. No signs of any changes on the surface of the crystal nucleus, let alone the extraction of True Blood of Heavenly Phoenix.
nà jīng pò bèi yī céng lán máng bāo guǒ ， xuán fú yú tóu dǐng sān chǐ zhī chù 。
那晶魄被一层蓝芒包裹，悬浮于头顶三尺之处。
Lin Xuan's face did not show disappointment; he had expected this. It was just a matter of trial and error. A few setbacks were nothing to worry about; he would continue trying.
suí hòu lín xuān shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yí gè yòu yí gè de fǎ yìn fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后林轩双手抬起，随着他的动作，一个又一个的法印浮现而出。
Looking at the floating spirit essence before him, Lin Xuan began using another method.
yíng fēng yī shǎn ， nà xiē fǎ yìn gè bù mò rù le jīng pò lǐ miàn 。
迎风一闪，那些法印个部没入了晶魄里面。
Time passed quickly. Three months later, Lin Xuan still hadn't succeeded in extracting True Blood of Heavenly Phoenix from Yangzhi Bird's crystal nucleus despite trying various methods.
rán ér méi yǒu bàn fēn xiào guǒ ， jīng pò biǎo miàn sī háo yì xiàng yě méi yǒu fā chū ， gèng bú yào shuō ， yīn cǐ tí chún chū tiān fèng zhēn xuè le 。
然而没有半分效果，晶魄表面丝毫异象也没有发出，更不要说，因此提纯出天凤真血了。
How could this be?
lín xuān liǎn shàng què méi yǒu lù chū shī wàng zhī sè ， běn lái jiù shì mō suǒ ， rú guǒ néng gòu yī xià chéng gōng fǎn ér qí guài le 。
林轩脸上却没有露出失望之色，本来就是摸索，如果能够一下成功反而奇怪了。
Was his estimation incorrect? Could no true blood be extracted from the crystal nucleus at all?
qū qū cuò zhé suàn bù liǎo shén me ， jì xù nǔ lì cháng shì jiù xíng le 。
区区挫折算不了什么，继续努力尝试就行了。
The thought crossed his mind, but soon he shook his head.
kàn zhe piāo fú yú yǎn qián de jīng pò ， lín xuān yòu kāi shǐ shī zhǎn xià yī zhǒng shǒu duàn le 。
看着漂浮于眼前的晶魄，林轩又开始施展下一种手段了。
Yangzhi Bird was a descendant of phoenixes and had inherited quite a bit of their bloodline. How could its spirit essence lack True Blood of Heavenly Phoenix? It must have been his method that was flawed.
shí guāng rú bái jū guò xì ， zhuǎn yǎn ， lín xuān lái dào zhè lǐ ， yǐ shì sān yuè yǒu yú 。
时光如白驹过隙，转眼，林轩来到这里，已是三月有余。
Even so, Lin Xuan had already tried everything, and none of the methods worked. What should he do next?
shí shì lǐ ， lín xuān kàn zhe yáng zhī niǎo de jīng pò ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng nán kàn yǐ jí ， yòng yī chóu mò zhǎn lái xíng róng ， nà shì bàn diǎn yě bù wèi guò ， zhěng zhěng jiǔ shí tiān ， lín xuān cháng shì biàn le gè zhǒng fāng fǎ ， rán ér tí chún tiān fēng zhēn xuè ， què yì diǎn jìn zhǎn yě wú 。
石室里，林轩看着阳脂鸟的晶魄，脸上的表情难看以极，用一筹莫展来形容，那是半点也不为过，整整九十天，林轩尝试遍了各种方法，然而提纯天风真血，却一点进展也无。
What should he do?
zěn me huì zhè yàng ne ？
怎么会这样呢？
Lin Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at the precious item in front of him, sighing softly: "If extracting true spirit blood could be as easy as refining pills, that would be wonderful."
nán dào zì jǐ gū jì chū cuò ， cóng zhè jīng pò lǐ ， gēn běn jiù tí liàn bù chū fèng huáng de zhēn xuè ？
难道自己估计出错，从这晶魄里，根本就提炼不出凤凰的真血？
This was just a sigh, but it seemed to touch something within his heart. Lin Xuan raised his head suddenly, showing a thoughtful expression.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， bù guò hěn kuài ， lín xuān yòu yáo le yáo tóu 。
脑海中念头转过，不过很快，林轩又摇了摇头。
The idea sounded absurd, but with no other methods available, why not give it a try?
yáng zhī niǎo nǎi shì fèng huáng de hòu yì ， ér qiě suǒ jì chéng de xuè mài ， hái shì bù shǎo dì 。
阳脂鸟乃是凤凰的后裔，而且所继承的血脉，还是不少地。
Even if it failed, there would be no loss.
tā de jīng hún lǐ ， zěn me kě néng méi yǒu tiān fèng zhēn xuè ， yīng gāi shì zì jǐ de fāng fǎ yǒu wèn tí 。
它的精魂里，怎么可能没有天凤真血，应该是自己的方法有问题。
With that in mind, Lin Xuan closed his eyes again and used Inner Vision. Everything inside his dantian remained unchanged; the blue Star Sea continued to rotate slowly deep within. The difference was that the innermost layer of the blue Star Sea now contained a significantly larger number of silver light points—about one-fifth of its total volume.
rán ér huà shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， kě néng zuò de cháng shì lín xuān dōu yǐ jīng zuò le ， suǒ yǒu de shǒu duàn dōu méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， jiē xià lái gāi rú hé ， lín xuān zhēn de shì yǐ jīng bù zhī dào le 。
然而话是这样没错，可能做的尝试林轩都已经做了，所有的手段都没有用处，接下来该如何，林轩真的是已经不知道了。
After advancing to the Spirit Cultivation Stage, the proportion of silver light points had increased noticeably.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
Lin Xuan's expression was quite satisfied. After all, these were the primary components for refining.
lín xuān shuāng méi jǐn suǒ ， kàn zhe xuán fú zài shēn qián de bǎo wù ， qīng qīng tàn le kǒu qì ：“ tí chún zhēn líng zhī xuè ， ruò shì xiàng tí chún dān yào yī yàng qīng sōng jiù hǎo le 。”
林轩双眉紧锁，看着悬浮在身前的宝物，轻轻叹了口气：“提纯真灵之血，若是像提纯丹药一样轻松就好了。”
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan didn't touch the blue light points; although he was trying, he believed that these lower-grade light points would not be useful for extracting True Blood of Heavenly Phoenix.
zhè běn shì yī jù tàn xī ， rán ér què fǎng fú xiàng shì chù dòng le xīn zhōng de mǒu yàng dōng xī ， lín xuān sà rán tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。
这本是一句叹息，然而却仿佛像是触动了心中的某样东西，林轩飒然抬起头颅，脸上露出若有所思之色。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath as the silver light points flowed out along his meridians and gathered in the center of his palm. It looked like Lin Xuan's hand was holding a miniature Star Sea, incredibly beautiful.
zhè ge xiǎng fǎ ， tīng qǐ lái huāng miù ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， fǎn zhèng dōu méi yǒu bié de fāng fǎ le ， nà shì yī shì ， yòu hé fáng ne ？
这个想法，听起来荒谬，不过此时此刻，反正都没有别的方法了，那试一试，又何妨呢？
Then he shook his hand, and the silver light points seemed to have life, vanishing into the top of the crystal nucleus.
fǎn zhèng jí biàn shī bài le ， yě bú huì yǒu rèn hé sǔn shī 。
反正即便失败了，也不会有任何损失。
To be honest, this method of refining had never been attempted by Lin Xuan before; he didn't know how to proceed. It was just a last-ditch effort.
xiǎng dào jiù zuò ， lín xuān chóng xīn bì shàng shuāng móu ， shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， dān tián zhōng yī qiè rú gù ， lán sè xīng hǎi yī jiù zài dān tián shēn chù huǎn huǎn xuán zhuǎn zhe ， ruò shuō yǔ yǐ qián de bù tóng ， jiù shì lán sè xīng hǎi de zuì lǐ céng ， yín sè guāng diǎn de shù liàng yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， yǐ shì bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， dá dào le zhěng gè xīng hǎi tǐ jī de wǔ fēn zhī yī 。
想到就做，林轩重新闭上双眸，施展内视之术，丹田中一切如故，蓝色星海依旧在丹田深处缓缓旋转着，若说与以前的不同，就是蓝色星海的最里层，银色光点的数量与以前相比，已是不可同日而语，达到了整个星海体积的五分之一。
However, there was still no reaction when the silver light points entered the crystal nucleus.
jìn jiē fēn shén qī hòu ， yín sè guāng diǎn de bǐ lì ， míng xiǎn yòu zēng jiā le bù shǎo dì 。
进阶分神期后，银色光点的比例，明显又增加了不少地。
Lin Xuan frowned, feeling somewhat strange. Although he hadn't expected much from this attempt, it shouldn't have been completely without any effect… However, Lin Xuan didn't stop refining; instead, he began to mobilize more silver light points.
lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng shí fēn mǎn yì ， bì jìng rú jīn ， zhè zhǒng yán sè de guāng diǎn ， cái shì tí chún de zhǔ lì 。
林轩脸上的表情十分满意，毕竟如今，这种颜色的光点，才是提纯的主力。
Time passed slowly. More and more silver light points flowed into Yangzhi Bird's crystal nucleus, but the object remained motionless.
lüè yī chí yí ， lín xuān méi yǒu qù pèng nà xiē lán sè de guāng diǎn ， suī shì cháng shì ， dàn jì rán shì tí chún tiān fēng zhēn xuè ， xiǎng lái zhè xiē dī jiē de guāng diǎn ， yě méi yǒu yòng tú 。
略一迟疑，林轩没有去碰那些蓝色的光点，虽是尝试，但既然是提纯天风真血，想来这些低阶的光点，也没有用途。
Lin Xuan grew increasingly puzzled. Determined to find out, he continued inputting silver light points.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， nà xiē yín sè de guāng diǎn shùn zhe jīng mài ， huǎn huǎn de liú tǎng ér chū ， suí hòu jù jí zài shǒu zhǎng de zhōng xīn zhī chù ， kàn shàng qù ， jiù fǎng fú lín xuān de shǒu zhǎng ， tuō zhe yī piàn wēi xíng de xīng hǎi ， měi lì dào jí chù 。
林轩吸了口气，那些银色的光点顺着经脉，缓缓的流淌而出，随后聚集在手掌的中心之处，看上去，就仿佛林轩的手掌，托着一片微型的星海，美丽到极处。
Thus, an hour passed without any change in the crystal nucleus.
rán hòu lín xuān shǒu yī dǒu ， nà xiē yín sè de guāng diǎn rú yǒu shēng mìng yì bān ， mò rù le tóu dǐng de jīng hé lǐ miàn 。
然后林轩手一抖，那些银色的光点如有生命一般，没入了头顶的晶核里面。
Another hour went by, and the crystal nucleus remained unchanged.
píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè zhǒng fāng shì de tí chún lín xuān hái cóng lái méi yǒu cháng shì guò ， zì rán bù zhī dào gāi zěn me zuò ， bù guò shì sǐ mǎ dàng zuò huó mǎ yī bà le 。
平心来说，这种方式的提纯林轩还从来没有尝试过，自然不知道该怎么做，不过是死马当做活马医罢了。
When three hours had passed, Lin Xuan's body was left with very few silver light points. He sighed, though unwilling to give up, there was nothing he could do now but abandon his efforts.
rán ér yín sè guāng diǎn de mò rù ， yī jiù sī háo fǎn yìng yě wú 。
然而银色光点的没入，依旧丝毫反应也无。
However, at this moment, something unexpected occurred. Just a moment ago, there were no signs of any change, but suddenly, the surface of the crystal nucleus emitted a bright light that dazzled the eyes. It lasted for about half an hour before dissolving…
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， xīn zhōng jué de yǒu xiē qí guài le ， suī rán tā méi yǒu bào duō dà de xī wàng ràng tí chún chéng gōng ， rán ér yě bù gāi xiàng xiàn zài zhè yàng ， yì diǎn fǎn yìng yě wú ……， bù guò lín xuān bìng méi yǒu tíng xià tí chún de dòng zuò ， fǎn ér kāi shǐ diào dòng gèng duō de yín sè guāng diǎn le 。
林轩眉头一皱，心中觉得有些奇怪了，虽然他没有抱多大的希望让提纯成功，然而也不该像现在这样，一点反应也无……，不过林轩并没有停下提纯的动作，反而开始调动更多的银色光点了。
Ps: That's all for today. The upcoming plot is quite important; I need to think it through carefully. Please vote for recommendations. (To be continued)
Qi, spirit, and essence had fully recovered. Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and tapped his waist. A flash of light appeared before him, revealing a crystal nucleus the size of a fist.
This crystal nucleus was fire-red in color, containing a magical bird about an inch long that resembled Yangzhi Bird down to the last detail. It was undoubtedly the spirit essence of this demon bird.
