suí hòu lín xuān yě méi yǒu lì kè tí chún líng guǒ ， ér shì xiān huí dào le liàn gōng fáng 。
随后林轩也没有立刻提纯灵果，而是先回到了练功房。
Subsequently, Lin Xuan did not immediately purify the Spirit Fruit but instead returned to his practice room.
bì jìng pán táo nǎi nì tiān zhī wù ， tí chún de nán dù ， zì rán shì yuǎn shèng yú zài yāo líng dǎo suǒ huò dé de shí xīn mó táo ， suī rán lín xuān rú jīn ， yě jīn fēi xī bǐ ， dàn miàn duì zhè zhǒng děng jí de bǎo wù ， tā yě bù gǎn yǒu sī háo de qīng xīn dà yì ， tí chún de jī huì zhǐ yǒu yī cì ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě jué bù róng bàn diǎn yǒu shī 。
毕竟蟠桃乃逆天之物，提纯的难度，自然是远胜于在妖灵岛所获得的蚀心魔桃，虽然林轩如今，也今非昔比，但面对这种等级的宝物，他也不敢有丝毫的轻心大意，提纯的机会只有一次，无论如何，也绝不容半点有失。
After all, peaches of immortality were extraordinary objects that defied nature. The difficulty of purification was naturally far greater than what he had obtained from the Soul-Eating Demon Peach on Demon Spirit Island. Although Lin Xuan had improved significantly since then, he did not dare be careless when facing such a precious treasure. There was only one chance for purification, and it must under no circumstances fail.
xiū xiān zhī lù màn màn ， lín xuān jí biàn xiǎng yào jìn jí ， yě bú huì zhēng zhè yì diǎn shí jiān dì 。
修仙之路漫漫，林轩即便想要晋级，也不会争这一点时间地。
The path to cultivation was long and arduous. Even if Lin Xuan wanted to advance, he would not waste time over this small matter.
xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， lín xuān dǎ suàn xiān hǎo hǎo xiū xī yī fān ， dài jīng qì shén dōu dá zuì jiā zhuàng tài de shí hòu ， zài tí chún cǐ wù 。
心急吃不了热豆腐，林轩打算先好好休息一番，待精气神都达最佳状态的时候，再提纯此物。
Haste makes waste. Lin Xuan planned to rest well first, waiting until his spirit and energy were at their peak before proceeding with the purification.
huí dào wò fáng yǐ hòu ， lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， xiān shī zhǎn fǎ shù ， jiāng tiān dì jiān de shuǐ yuán qì jù jí ， xǐ le yí gè zǎo ， suí hòu gēng yī ， zài hǎo hǎo de shuì shàng yī jiào 。
回到卧房以后，林轩二话不说，先施展法术，将天地间的水元气聚集，洗了一个澡，随后更衣，再好好的睡上一觉。
Returning to his bedroom, Lin Xuan immediately cast a spell to gather water essence from the air and took a shower. After changing clothes, he slept soundly for several hours.
dì èr tiān zǎo shàng ， shén qīng qì shuǎng ， lín xuān xīn qíng jí jiā de lái dào liàn gōng fáng 。
第二天早上，神清气爽，林轩心情极佳的来到练功房。
The next morning, refreshed and invigorated, Lin Xuan arrived at the practice room in high spirits.
pán xī ér zuò ， tiáo xī le yuē yǒu bàn gè shí chén de gōng fu ， lín xuān huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi le shuāng móu ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā bù lùn fǎ lì ， jīng shén ， hái shì tǐ lì ， quán dōu dá dào diān fēng zhuàng tài le 。
盘膝而坐，调息了约有半个时辰的功夫，林轩缓缓睁开了双眸，此时此刻，他不论法力，精神，还是体力，全都达到巅峰状态了。
Crossing his legs, he adjusted his breathing for about half an hour before slowly opening his eyes. At this moment, his energy, spirit, and physical strength were all at their peak.
lín xuān tǔ le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng mǎn yì yǐ jí ， suí hòu èr huà bù shuō de xiù páo yī fú ， líng guāng yào mù ， zhǐ nà jīng zhì yì cháng de yù hé yǐ fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩吐了口气，脸上的表情满意以极，随后二话不说的袖袍一拂，灵光耀目，只那精致异常的玉盒已飞掠而出。
Lin Xuan exhaled deeply, his expression filled with satisfaction. He then waved his sleeve, and a dazzling light appeared as the exquisite jade box flew out.
shàng miàn yī jiù shì tiē yǒu jìn zhì fú lù ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng yīn wèi yī shí dà yì ， ér ràng pán táo de líng lì ， liú shì diào shǎo xǔ ， nà yàng duì zì jǐ jìn jí ， huì yǒu yǐng xiǎng dì 。
上面依旧是贴有禁制符箓，林轩可不想因为一时大意，而让蟠桃的灵力，流逝掉少许，那样对自己晋级，会有影响地。
It was still sealed withprohibitive talisman (restraining talismans). Lin Xuan did not want to risk any loss of the peach’s essence due to carelessness; such a loss could affect his advancement.
chā zhī háo lí miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， lín xuān dāng rán xī wàng zì jǐ fú yòng de bǎo wù ， gè fāng miàn dōu shì zuì jiā dì 。
差之毫厘谬以千里，林轩当然希望自己服用的宝物，各方面都是最佳地。
A small margin of error could lead to significant differences. Lin Xuan naturally hoped that every aspect of the treasure he was about to consume would be at its best.
suí hòu tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào líng guāng yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè chū qù ， bō de yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr biān ， nà fú lù yǐ wú fēng zì rán ， hé gài yě zì dòng dǎ kāi ， nà yòu rén yǐ jí de pán táo xiǎn xiàn chū lái 。
随后他右手抬起，一道灵光由指尖激射出去，啵的一声轻响传入耳边，那符箓已无风自燃，盒盖也自动打开，那诱人以极的蟠桃显现出来。
He then raised his right hand, and a beam of light shot out from his fingertips. With a soft sound, the talisman ignited on its own, the lid opened automatically, revealing the enticing peach.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， yǎn shén yǐn yǐn yǒu jǐ fēn huǒ rè ， bì jìng jiè zhù cǐ wù ， zì jǐ néng gòu shěng què chéng bǎi shàng qiān nián de gōng fu ， ruò shì shuāng yīng yī dān tóng shí jìn jí ， nà hǎo chù gèng shì nán yǐ yán yù 。
林轩目光扫过，眼神隐隐有几分火热，毕竟借助此物，自己能够省却成百上千年的功夫，若是双婴一丹同时晋级，那好处更是难以言喻。
Lin Xuan’s gaze swept over it, his eyes showing a hint of passion. After all, using this object could save him hundreds or even thousands of years of effort. If he were to advance both baby souls and the pill at once, the benefits would be incalculable.
dāng rán ， shì bú shì ， hái yǒu dài zhèng shí ， yǎn qián yào zuò de shì ， shì xiān tí chún chū lǐ miàn de zá zhì 。
当然，是不是，还有待证实，眼前要做的事，是先提纯出里面的杂质。
Of course, that was still uncertain; what mattered now was purifying out the impurities inside.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng lüè yǒu xiē jī dòng de xīn qíng píng fù xià qù ， suī rán zhè me duō nián guò qù ， tí chún duì tā lái shuō ， yǐ shì jià qīng jiù shú ， rán ér yī jiù bù gǎn shuō yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de chéng gōng lǜ ， yóu qí rú jīn yào tí chún de pán táo nǎi shì zhì mù shèng guǒ ， lín xuān gèng bù gǎn yǒu bàn diǎn qīng hū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩深深呼吸，将略有些激动的心情平复下去，虽然这么多年过去，提纯对他来说，已是驾轻就熟，然而依旧不敢说有百分之百的成功率，尤其如今要提纯的蟠桃乃是至木圣果，林轩更不敢有半点轻忽。
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan took a deep breath, calming his agitated emotions. Although he had been practicing purification for many years, he could not claim a 100% success rate. Especially since this peach was a sacred fruit of the highest wood element, Lin Xuan could not afford to be careless.
gēn jù jīng yàn ， tí chún de bǎo wù yuè shì zhēn xī ， nán dù wǎng wǎng yě huì bèi zēng dì 。
根据经验，提纯的宝物越是珍稀，难度往往也会倍增地。
Based on experience, the purer and more precious the treasure, the greater the difficulty in purification.
gù ér lín xuān fēn háo bù gǎn dà yì ， bì jìng tí chún de jī huì zhǐ yǒu yī cì ， pán táo jǐn cǐ yī kē ， ruò shì bù xiǎo xīn shī bài le ， nà qīng sōng jìn jí de xī wàng ， kě jiù chéng le jìng zhōng huā ， shuǐ zhōng yuè yì bān de dōng xī ， zì jǐ hái bù xīn téng sǐ 。
故而林轩分毫不敢大意，毕竟提纯的机会只有一次，蟠桃仅此一颗，若是不小心失败了，那轻松晋级的希望，可就成了镜中花，水中月一般的东西，自己还不心疼死。
Hence, Lin Xuan did not dare to take any chances. There was only one chance for purification, and there was only one peach. If he failed, his hopes of advancing easily would become as illusory as a flower in a mirror or a moon in water.
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， xīn zhōng yě nán miǎn yǒu jǐ fēn tǎn tè ， suí hòu xī le kǒu qì ， chén rù shén shí ， yǐ nèi shì zhī shù ， chá tàn qǐ zì jǐ shēn tǐ gè fāng miàn de qíng kuàng le 。
即便以林轩的城府，此时此刻，心中也难免有几分忐忑，随后吸了口气，沉入神识，以内视之术，查探起自己身体各方面的情况了。
Even with his composure, Lin Xuan could not help feeling anxious at this moment. He then took a deep breath, sinking into his divine consciousness to use Inner Vision to examine the state of his body.
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 shí fēn zhī yī ……， bù ， hái yào gèng duō yī xiē 。
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十分之一……，不，还要更多一些。
In his dantian, everything remained unchanged. The blue Star Sea continued to rotate slowly within him. If there was any difference from before, it was that the innermost layer of the blue Star Sea contained significantly more silver light points compared to before—indeed, they made up about one-tenth of the entire sea and perhaps even more.
zhè xiē jiāng shì tí chún de zhǔ lì 。
这些将是提纯的主力。
These would be the main purifying agents.
bì jìng ， yuè shì gāo jiē de cái liào bǎo wù ， tí chún yuè nán ， pán táo shèng guǒ ， lán sè guāng diǎn yǐ wú fǎ shèng rèn tí chún de gōng zuò 。
毕竟，越是高阶的材料宝物，提纯越难，蟠桃圣果，蓝色光点已无法胜任提纯的工作。
After all, the higher the grade of material, the harder the purification. The blue light points could no longer handle this task.
xiàn zài lín xuān wéi yī de dān yōu ， jiù shì yín sè guāng diǎn shì fǒu gòu yòng 。
现在林轩唯一的担忧，就是银色光点是否够用。
Now, Lin Xuan’s sole concern was whether there were enough silver light points.
xū zhī ， tí chún ， shì yī qì hē chéng de ， zhōng jiān jué bù néng gòu dǎ duàn ， ruò shì guāng diǎn bù zú ， nà zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， kěn dìng shì gōng kuī yī kuì de 。
须知，提纯，是一气呵成的，中间绝不能够打断，若是光点不足，那最后的结果，肯定是功亏一篑的。
It should be known that purification must be done in one go; any interruption would result in failure. If the light points were insufficient, the effort would be in vain.
bù guò sǎo shì le yī yǎn xīng hǎi hòu ， lín xuān zhè ge dān xīn ， jiǎn shǎo le xǔ duō ， dān chún yín sè guāng diǎn de shù mù ， yǐ shì bù sú ， jǐn jǐn shì tí chún yī méi pán táo ， wú lùn rú hé ， yīng gāi dōu gòu yòng le 。
不过扫视了一眼星海后，林轩这个担心，减少了许多，单纯银色光点的数目，已是不俗，仅仅是提纯一枚蟠桃，无论如何，应该都够用了。
However, after scanning the Star Sea, Lin Xuan’s worry diminished significantly. The number of pure silver light points alone was impressive, and they should suffice for purifying a single peach, no matter what.
fàng xià zhè ge dān xīn yǐ hòu ， lín xuān kāi shǐ diào dòng guāng diǎn ， lán sè de quán bù pái chú zài wài ， zhǐ yòng cuǐ càn de yín sè guāng diǎn ， ràng tā men huǎn huǎn xuán zhuǎn ， rán hòu shùn zhe jīng mài ， rú yī hóng qīng quán ， màn màn liú tǎng dào shǒu zhǎng zhī jiān 。
放下这个担心以后，林轩开始调动光点，蓝色的全部排除再外，只用璀璨的银色光点，让它们缓缓旋转，然后顺着经脉，如一泓清泉，慢慢流淌到手掌之间。
Having dispelled this concern, Lin Xuan began to mobilize the light points. He excluded all blue ones and only used the brilliant silver ones, allowing them to rotate slowly before flowing into his palms like a clear stream.
zhè xiē guāng diǎn ， quán bù 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 diǎn 。
这些光点，全部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，美丽到极点。
All these light points gathered at the center of his palm, making it appear as if Lin Xuan was holding a miniature Star Sea in his hand, breathtakingly beautiful.
tí chún dān yào líng cǎo zhè me duō nián ， lín xuān duì lán sè xīng hǎi de yùn yòng ， què shí yǐ dào lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù ， dāng rán ， chú le shǒu shú ， yǔ shí lì de zēng qiáng ， yě shì dà yǒu guān xì ， bì jìng yǔ chū tà xiū xiān jiè xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān shén shí de qiáng dù ， yǐ shì bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， ér xiàng zhè yàng jīng xì de cāo zuò ， kěn dìng shì shén shí yuè qiáng ， yuè bù róng yì chū cuò 。
提纯丹药灵草这么多年，林轩对蓝色星海的运用，确实已到炉火纯青的地步，当然，除了手熟，与实力的增强，也是大有关系，毕竟与初踏修仙界相比，林轩神识的强度，已是不可同日而语，而像这样精细的操作，肯定是神识越强，越不容易出错。
After years of purifying elixirs and spirit herbs, Lin Xuan’s mastery over the blue Star Sea had reached an unparalleled level. Of course, this expertise came not only from practice but also from enhanced strength. Compared to when he first entered the cultivation world, his divine consciousness was incomparably stronger, making such precise operations much less likely to fail.
ér pán táo lín xuān yě méi yǒu yòng shǒu tuō zhe ， ér shì zǎo yǐ dǎ chū yī dào piāo fú shù ， ràng tā bèi yī piàn líng guāng bāo guǒ ， xuán fú zài lín xuān shēn qián chǐ xǔ zhī chù 。
而蟠桃林轩也没有用手托着，而是早已打出一道漂浮术，让它被一片灵光包裹，悬浮在林轩身前尺许之处。
And unlike before, Lin Xuan did not hold the peach in his hand; instead, he had already cast a levitation spell, encasing it in a ball of spirit essence and floating it about a foot in front of him.
yī qiè dōu yǐ zhǔn bèi hǎo le ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ yì sè ， tū rán fàng xià zuǒ shǒu ， yòu shǒu zé xùn jié yǐ jí de zài bàn kōng zhōng huá guò yī dào yuán hú ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà yín sè de guāng diǎn fǎng fú bèi yī gǔ wú xíng de lì liàng qū shǐ zhe ， rú juān juān xī liú yì bān de mò rù dào pán táo zhī zhōng 。
一切都已准备好了，林轩眼中闪过一缕异色，突然放下左手，右手则迅捷以极的在半空中划过一道圆弧，随着他的动作，那银色的光点仿佛被一股无形的力量驱使着，如涓涓溪流一般的没入到蟠桃之中。
Everything was ready. A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xuan’s eyes as he suddenly lowered his left hand while swiftly drawing an arc with his right. As he moved, the silver light points seemed to be driven by an invisible force, flowing into the peach like a stream.
zhè ge guò chéng kàn shì jiǎn dān ， rán ér lín xuān de biǎo qíng què jí wéi yán sù ， zhēn zhèng de nán chǔ zěn me kě néng yī yǎn jiù kàn chū lái ne ？
这个过程看似简单，然而林轩的表情却极为严肃，真正的难处怎么可能一眼就看出来呢？
Although this process appeared simple, Lin Xuan’s expression was extremely serious. The true difficulty could not be discerned at first glance.
lín xuān xiǎo xīn yì yì de cāo kòng zhe guāng diǎn ， bù gǎn chū fēn háo de pī lòu chā cuò 。
林轩小心翼翼的操控着光点，不敢出分毫的批漏差错。
Lin Xuan carefully controlled the light points, not daring to make any mistakes.
zhè pán táo de tí chún bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào nán xǔ duō ， xìng hǎo yǔ lán sè guāng diǎn xiāng bǐ ， yín sè guāng diǎn de tí chún néng lì ， yǐ shì bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， dàn yī jiù jiān nán ， lǐ miàn zá zhì dì yí dòng jí wéi huǎn màn 。
这蟠桃的提纯比自己想象的还要难许多，幸好与蓝色光点相比，银色光点的提纯能力，已是不可同日而语，但依旧艰难，里面杂质的移动极为缓慢。
The purification of the peach proved more difficult than he had anticipated. Fortunately, compared to blue light points, silver ones had far greater purifying capabilities, but it was still challenging. The movement of impurities inside the peach was extremely slow.
ér zhè yī zuò jiù shì sān tiān 。
而这一坐就是三天。
And so Lin Xuan sat for three days.
“ zhōng yú hǎo le 。”
“终于好了。”
"Finally done."
zhè tiān zhèng wǔ ， yuán běn jìng mì de shí shì tū rán chuán lái yī shēng huān hū 。
这天正午，原本静谧的石室突然传来一声欢呼。
At noon, the usually quiet stone room suddenly echoed with a joyful cry.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng nán yǎn pí juàn zhī sè ， rán ér liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què shì xīng fèn dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
林轩眼中难掩疲倦之色，然而脸上的表情却是兴奋到无以复加的地步。
Lin Xuan’s eyes showed signs of fatigue, but his expression was one of unparalleled excitement.
tā kàn zhe xuán fú zài shēn qián de líng guǒ ， cǐ pán táo yǔ chū jiàn shí xiāng bǐ ， míng xiǎn xiǎo le yī xiē ， rán ér què wēn rùn rú yù ， sè zé gèng shì xiān yàn yù dī ， gèng wéi xuán miào de shì ， zài pán táo de biǎo miàn ， jū rán yǒu yī xiē ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de líng wén fú xiàn chū lái 。
他看着悬浮在身前的灵果，此蟠桃与初见时相比，明显小了一些，然而却温润如玉，色泽更是鲜艳欲滴，更为玄妙的是，在蟠桃的表面，居然有一些若隐若现的灵纹浮现出来。
He looked at the spirit fruit floating in front of him. Compared to when he first saw it, this peach was smaller but smoother and more lustrous, its color vividly fresh. Even more mysteriously, some faint spiritual patterns appeared on the surface of the peach.
zhè xiē líng wén xuán miào yǐ jí ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de xiū wèi zào yì ， yě fēn háo fēn biàn bù chū tā yǒu shén me yì yì ， dàn què gèng zēng tiān le jǐ fēn xuán ào de qì xī 。
这些灵纹玄妙以极，即便以林轩如今的修为造诣，也分毫分辨不出它有什么意义，但却更增添了几分玄奥的气息。
These patterns were incredibly intricate. Even with his current cultivation level, Lin Xuan could not discern their meaning, but they added a touch of mystery to the fruit.
tóng shí ， fāng xiāng sì yì ， chōng chì mǎn zhěng jiàn shí shì ， jǐn jǐn shì wén shàng yī kǒu ， jiù ràng rén xīn kuàng shén yí ， ruò shì tūn fú xià cǐ wù ， yǒu zěn yàng de hǎo chù ， nǎ lǐ hái yòng dé zhe yán shù ……，
同时，芳香四溢，充斥满整件石室，仅仅是闻上一口，就让人心旷神怡，若是吞服下此物，有怎样的好处，哪里还用得着言述……，
At the same time, it emitted an intoxicating fragrance that filled the entire stone room. Just inhaling it was enough to make one feel refreshed and invigorated. What benefits this perfect peach would bring if swallowed were beyond description.
zhēn zhèng de wán hǎo de pán táo ， lín xuān wú yuán jiàn guò ， bù guò lín xuān gǎn kěn dìng yǎn qián zì jǐ tí chún chū lái de zhè yī kē ， xiào guǒ bǐ chéng shú de pán táo hái yào gèng shèng yī chóu 。
真正的完好的蟠桃，林轩无缘见过，不过林轩敢肯定眼前自己提纯出来的这一颗，效果比成熟的蟠桃还要更胜一筹。
Lin Xuan held his treasure in hand, marveling at his good fortune. Advancing through such a method could save him much effort.
Subsequently, Lin Xuan did not immediately purify the Spirit Fruit but instead returned to his practice room.
After all, peaches of immortality were extraordinary objects that defied nature. The difficulty of purification was naturally far greater than what he had obtained from the Soul-Eating Demon Peach on Demon Spirit Island. Although Lin Xuan had improved significantly since then, he did not dare be careless when facing such a precious treasure. There was only one chance for purification, and it must under no circumstances fail.
The path to cultivation was long and arduous. Even if Lin Xuan wanted to advance, he would not waste time over this small matter.
Haste makes waste. Lin Xuan planned to rest well first, waiting until his spirit and energy were at their peak before proceeding with the purification.
Returning to his bedroom, Lin Xuan immediately cast a spell to gather water essence from the air and took a shower. After changing clothes, he slept soundly for several hours.
The next morning, refreshed and invigorated, Lin Xuan arrived at the practice room in high spirits.
Crossing his legs, he adjusted his breathing for about half an hour before slowly opening his eyes. At this moment, his energy, spirit, and physical strength were all at their peak.
"Phew!"
Lin Xuan exhaled deeply, his expression filled with satisfaction. He then waved his sleeve, and a dazzling light appeared as the exquisite jade box flew out.
It was still sealed withprohibitive talisman (restraining talismans). Lin Xuan did not want to risk any loss of the peach’s essence due to carelessness; such a loss could affect his advancement.
