lín xuān xiàn zài ， shǒu zhōng yě méi yǒu shōu jí qí 。
林轩现在，手中也没有收集齐。
Lin Xuan still hadn't gathered all the components in his hands.
bù guò méi yǒu guān xì 。
不过没有关系。
But that didn’t matter.
jí biàn bù néng jiāng yīn yáng èr qì tóng shí liàn huà ， guāng shì hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì de tiān jiā ， yě zú gòu ràng huàn líng tiān huǒ de wēi lì ， bào zēng bèi xǔ ， shèn zhì hái yào gèng duō yī xiē 。
即便不能将阴阳二气同时炼化，光是混沌太阴之气的添加，也足够让幻灵天火的威力，暴增倍许，甚至还要更多一些。
Even if he couldn’t simultaneously refine both Yin and Yang energies, simply adding the chaotic primordial yin energy would greatly enhance the power of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame. In fact, it might even increase more than twofold.
zhè yàng de hǎo shì ， zì jǐ dāng rán méi yǒu fàng guò de dào lǐ 。
这样的好事，自己当然没有放过的道理。
Such a good opportunity was one Lin Xuan wouldn't pass up for anything.
bù guò kàn zhuó yǎn qián de hú lú ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng què lù chū zhǐ sī níng zhòng zhī sè 。
不过看着眼前的葫芦，林轩眼中却露出只丝凝重之色。
However, as he looked at the葫芦 in front of him, a trace of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì gù rán shì nì tiān jí bié de bǎo wù ， rán ér yě shì jí qí wēi xiǎn de 。
混沌太阴之气固然是逆天级别的宝物，然而也是极其危险的。
The chaotic primordial yin energy was indeed a treasure on par with heaven-defying standards. But it was also extremely dangerous.
shuō qǐ lái ， yuàn kē yě shì yùn qì bù cuò ， jǐn jǐn shì bèi cǐ wù bīng fēng ， fǒu zé ， yǐ hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì de nì tiān shén tōng ， miè shā yī fēn shén jí bié de yāo zú bù guò shì qīng ér yì jǔ 。
说起来，媛珂也是运气不错，仅仅是被此物冰封，否则，以混沌太阴之气的逆天神通，灭杀一分神级别的妖族不过是轻而易举。
Speaking of which, Yuanke had been quite lucky. She merely got frozen by this item; otherwise, with the chaotic primordial yin energy's divine powers, killing a spirit-stage creature would have been as easy as turning over one’s palm.
miàn duì zhè zhǒng jì wēi xiǎn yòu zhēn guì de bǎo wù ， jǐng xuān bù gǎn yǒu sī háo dà yì ， nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， jiāng mò yuè tiān wū jué zhōng rú hé liàn huà cǐ wù de fǎ jué yòu chóng xīn huí wèi le yī biàn 。
面对这种既危险又珍贵的宝物，井轩不敢有丝毫大意，脑海中念头急转，将墨月天巫诀中如何炼化此物的法诀又重新回味了一遍。
Facing such a perilous yet valuable treasure, Lin Xuan couldn’t afford any carelessness. His mind raced, and he reviewed the method from the Black Moon Heaven Witch Art on how to refine this item once again.
zài zhè zhī qián ， lín xuān céng huā fèi le dà liàng de shí jiān cān wù ， què dìng lǐ jiě méi yǒu fēn háo piān chā miù wù ， xiū xiān zhī lù ， bù jǐn jiān nán ， ér qiě wēi xiǎn ， bǐ rú liàn huà zhè zhǒng xìng zhì dì bǎo wù ， liàn huà hǎo le ， dà yǒu yòng tú ， rán ér yí dàn shī bài ， què huì ràng liàn bǎo zhī rén ， wàn jié bù fù 。
在这之前，林轩曾花费了大量的时间参悟，确定理解没有分毫偏差谬误，修仙之路，不仅艰难，而且危险，比如炼化这种性质的宝物，炼化好了，大有用途，然而一旦失败，却会让炼宝之人，万劫不复。
Previously, Lin Xuan had spent considerable time contemplating it, ensuring his understanding was without even the slightest error. The path of cultivation was not only arduous but also perilous. For instance, refining such a natured treasure could be immensely useful if successful, but failure would lead to an irreversible disaster for the refiner.
zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng qīng chǔ ， yǐ tā de xìng gé ， dāng rán yào xiǎo xīn xiǎo xīn zài xiǎo xīn le 。
这道理，林轩心中清楚，以他的性格，当然要小心小心再小心了。
Lin Xuan knew this well and, given his personality, he was naturally cautious to the extreme.
lín xuān huí wèi le piàn kè ， què dìng zì jǐ yǐ jīng jiāng cǐ fǎ jué wán quán lǐ jiě tòu chè ， suí hòu tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué xiàng zhe shēn qián de bǎo wù dǎ le guò qù 。
林轩回味了片刻，确定自己已经将此法诀完全理解透彻，随后他右手抬起，一道法诀像着身前的宝物打了过去。
After reflecting briefly, Lin Xuan confirmed that he had fully understood the method. He then raised his right hand and sent a spell towards the treasure before him.
nà hú lú yī chàn ， biǎo miàn líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， yǐn yǐn yǒu fēng léi zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu yī lǚ xiān xì yì cháng de hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì cóng lǐ miàn piāo chū lái le 。
那葫芦一颤，表面灵光狂闪，隐隐有风雷之声传入耳朵，随后一缕纤细异常的混沌太阴之气从里面飘出来了。
The葫芦 trembled as its surface emitted intense spiritual light, faint sounds of thunder and wind entering his ears. A thread-like strand of chaotic primordial yin energy emerged from within.
shuō tā xiān xì ， kě shì bù dài fēn háo kuā zhāng dì ， bù guò fā sī nà me dà xiǎo de yī lǚ ， yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， liàn huà cǐ bǎo ， yī cì zì rán bù gǎn fàng chū tài duō 。
说它纤细，可是不带分毫夸张地，不过发丝那么大小的一缕，以林轩如今的实力，炼化此宝，一次自然不敢放出太多。
Though described as thin like a hair, it was no exaggeration; it was indeed as fine as a hair. Given Lin Xuan’s current strength, he wouldn’t dare release too much when refining this treasure to avoid putting himself in an extremely dangerous situation.
fǒu zé jiù bú shì liàn huà bǎo wù ， ér shì jiāng zì jǐ xiàn rù jué jìng bān de wēi xiǎn zhōng le 。
否则就不是炼化宝物，而是将自己陷入绝境般的危险中了。
Lin Xuan wasn't foolish and certainly didn’t act rashly for quick gains!
lín xuān bù shǎ ， dāng rán bú huì nà me jí gōng jìn lì de zuò chǔn shì a ！
林轩不傻，当然不会那么急功近利的做蠢事啊！
And that thin strand of energy revealed its extraordinary nature.
ér jiù zhè me rú fā sī bān xiān xì de yī gǔ ， yě xiǎn chū le tā de bù fán zhī chù 。
而就这么如发丝般纤细的一股，也显出了它的不凡之处。
Its color was unremarkable, a plain grayish hue. In the beginning of chaos, the colors of all things were like this.
yán sè dǎo shì bìng bù chū zhòng ， hěn píng fán de huī méng méng ， hùn dùn chū kāi zhī shí ， tiān dì wàn wù ， yuán běn jiù shì zhè bān yán sè 。
颜色倒是并不出众，很平凡的灰蒙蒙，混沌初开之时，天地万物，原本就是这般颜色。
However, the spiritual energy within it was anything but ordinary. It couldn't be called spiritual energy; chaotic primordial yin energy itself was one of the fundamental sources of the cosmos.
rán ér lǐ miàn yùn hán de líng qì què fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， huò zhě shuō ， lǐ miàn yùn hán de dōng xī ， yǐ jīng bù néng chēng zhī wèi líng lì ， hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， yuán běn jiù shì tiān dì běn yuán zhī yī 。
然而里面蕴含的灵气却非同小可，或者说，里面蕴含的东西，已经不能称之为灵力，混沌太阴之气，原本就是天地本源之一。
It contained the oldest and most ancient laws of heaven and earth. While Lin Xuan couldn’t comprehend these in his current state, he merely needed to find a way to integrate them into the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame.
lǐ miàn yùn hán yǒu zuì gǔ lǎo de tiān dì fǎ zé ， dāng rán ， zhè xiē dōng xī ， jiù bú shì rú jīn de lín xuān kě yǐ cān wù ， tā xiàn zài yào zuò de ， jǐn jǐn shì xiǎng bàn fǎ ， jiāng qí tā liàn huà jìn huàn líng tiān huǒ 。
里面蕴含有最古老的天地法则，当然，这些东西，就不是如今的林轩可以参悟，他现在要做的，仅仅是想办法，将其他炼化进幻灵天火。
Lin Xuan examined that gray strand for a moment before waving his sleeves. A small flame, about the size of an egg, emerged from his sleeve, its surface emitting spiritual light and changing colors rapidly.
lín xuān dǎ liàng le nà lǚ huī qì piàn kè ， tū rán xiù páo yī fú ， yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn cóng yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， biǎo miàn líng guāng liú lí ， wǔ zhǒng sè cǎi de guāng yùn biàn huàn bù yǐ 。
林轩打量了那缕灰气片刻，突然袖袍一拂，一团鸡蛋大小的火焰从衣袖中鱼游而出，表面灵光琉璃，五种色彩的光晕变幻不已。
Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame!
huàn líng tiān huǒ ！
幻灵天火！
It quietly hovered beside Lin Xuan.
jìng jìng de xuán fú zài lín xuān de shēn cè 。
静静的悬浮在林轩的身侧。
Without pausing, his hands moved like butterflies, sending spell after spell from his fingertips.
ér lín xuān bìng méi yǒu tíng xià dòng zuò ， shuāng shǒu rú chuān huā hú dié bān fēn fēi bù yǐ ， yī dào jiē yī dào de fǎ jué yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè chū qù 。
而林轩并没有停下动作，双手如穿花蝴蝶般纷飞不已，一道接一道的法诀由指尖激射出去。
The Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame emitted intense spiritual light, and its shape changed continuously.
huàn líng tiān huǒ líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， biǎo miàn de xíng zhuàng yě zài bù tíng biàn huàn 。
幻灵天火灵光狂闪，表面的形状也在不停变换。
The entire process lasted nearly half an hour.
ér zhěng gè guò chéng zú zú chí xù le bàn gè shí chén de shí jiān 。
而整个过程足足持续了半个时辰的时间。
Lin Xuan’s face showed no sign of relief. Sweat beads appeared on his forehead.
lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng méi yǒu fēn háo qīng sōng zhī sè ， é tóu shàng shèn zhì shèn chū le dòu dà de hàn zhū 。
林轩脸上的表情没有分毫轻松之色，额头上甚至渗出了豆大的汗珠。
However, the color of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame became more vibrant.
ér huàn líng tiān huǒ de yán sè ， biàn dé yuè fā de xiān huó 。
而幻灵天火的颜色，变得越发的鲜活。
Then a clear, high-pitched cry echoed in his ears.
yòu guò piàn dào ， qīng liàng de míng jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
又过片到，清亮的鸣叫传入耳朵。
The sound was as clear and resounding as if it had been flying through the nine heavens.
nà jiào shēng qīng liàng gāo kàng ， fǎng fú zài jiǔ tiān zhī zhōng huí xiáng 。
那叫声清亮高亢，仿佛在九天之中回翔。
It resembled the call of a celestial phoenix according to legend. At the same time, the volume of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame suddenly increased by more than a hundred times, revealing a massive fireball.
yǔ chuán shuō zhōng ， tiān fèng de míng jiào yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， tóng shí ， huàn líng tiān huǒ de tǐ jī ， zhòu rán biàn dà le bǎi bèi hái duō ， yī tuán jù dà de huǒ qiú ， yìng rù dào le yǎn lián zhī zhōng 。
与传说中，天凤的鸣叫有几分相似之处，同时，幻灵天火的体积，骤然变大了百倍还多，一团巨大的火球，映入到了眼帘之中。
Fortunately, this cave where Lin Xuan was located was incredibly spacious; otherwise, such a large fireball wouldn’t fit in his practice room.
xìng hǎo lín xuān rú jīn suǒ zài de zhè zuò dòng fǔ ， wěi shí kuān chǎng dào jí chù ， fǒu zé jǐn jǐn shì zhè liàn gōng fáng ， hái zhēn zhuāng bù xià nà me dà yī tuán huǒ qiú de 。
幸好林轩如今所在的这座洞府，委实宽敞到极处，否则仅仅是这练功房，还真装不下那么大一团火球的。
Then, like a newly hatched bird, a phoenix measuring over ten feet long leaped out of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame. Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of joy as he moved with greater urgency, reciting ancient and mysterious incantations.
suí hòu rú yòu niǎo chū ké ， yī zhī shēn cháng zhàng xǔ de fèng huáng ， yóu huàn líng tiān huǒ zhōng yuè shēng ér chū ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xǐ sè ， shǒu shàng de dòng zuò ， yuè fā de jìn jí ， ér kǒu zhōng hái chuán chū xuán miào gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ 。
随后如幼鸟出壳，一只身长丈许的凤凰，由幻灵天火中跃升而出，林轩眼中闪过一丝喜色，手上的动作，越发的劲急，而口中还传出玄妙古朴的咒语。
As time passed, Lin Xuan’s expression began to show signs of pain, but he didn’t stop his actions.
suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， lín xuān liǎn shàng ， jū rán yǐn yǐn lù chū le jǐ fēn tòng kǔ ， rán ér tā què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ ， jiù tíng xià shǒu shàng de dòng zuò 。
随着时间的推移，林轩脸上，居然隐隐露出了几分痛苦，然而他却并没有因此，就停下手上的动作。
A small red dot appeared on his forehead, but upon closer inspection, it was actually a delicate phoenix pattern.
lín xuān de é tóu ， chū xiàn le yì diǎn yān hóng ， rán ér zǐ xì kàn ， què jū rán shì yī xì xiǎo què jīng zhì de fèng huáng tú àn 。
林轩的额头，出现了一点殷红，然而仔细看，却居然是一细小却精致的凤凰图案。
That pattern gradually grew larger before his eyes.
suí hòu nà fèng huáng tú àn ， yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù ， zhú jiàn biàn dà le qǐ lái 。
随后那凤凰图案，以肉眼可见的速度，逐渐变大了起来。
It seemed ready to take flight!
zhèn chì yù fēi ！
振翅欲飞！
This wasn't just any phoenix pattern; it had been formed by fusing the celestial phoenix’s essence blood with Lin Xuan's true essence energy.
zhè kě bú shì pǔ tōng de fèng huáng tú àn ， ér shì yóu tiān fèng líng xuè róng hé lín xuān tǐ nèi de běn mìng zhēn yuán ， huàn huà ér chéng de 。
这可不是普通的凤凰图案，而是由天凤灵血融合林轩体内的本命真元，幻化而成的。
In the next moment, the phoenix really flew down from his forehead.
xià yī kè ， nà fèng huáng zhēn de cóng lín xuān de é tóu shàng fēi xià lái le 。
下一刻，那凤凰真的从林轩的额头上飞下来了。
Then, like a soul, it merged into the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame. The clear cry grew louder.
suí hòu rú yī lǚ hún pò ， róng rù le huàn líng tiān huǒ 。
随后如一缕魂魄，融入了幻灵天火。
The phoenix that had previously only existed in appearance now seemed to possess divine grace.
qīng míng shēng dà zuò ， yuán běn cǐ huǒ yàn huàn huà chū lái de fèng huáng ， jǐn jǐn shì tú yǒu qí biǎo ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què duō chū jǐ fēn shén yùn lái le 。
清鸣声大做，原本此火焰幻化出来的凤凰，仅仅是徒有其表，然而此时此刻，却多出几分神韵来了。
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say this was Lin Xuan’s celestial phoenix incarnation.
shuō tiān fèng huà shēn tài kuā zhāng le 。
说天凤化身太夸张了。
With the celestial phoenix's essence blood integrated, it gave the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame a connection with the king of all birds, adding some level of influence.
rán ér lǐ miàn yǒu tiān fèng de líng xuè róng rù ， yǔ bǎi niǎo zhī wáng ， yě jiù duō duō shǎo shǎo ， yǒu le nà me jǐ fēn qiān chě 。
然而里面有天凤的灵血融入，与百鸟之王，也就多多少少，有了那么几分牵扯。
This was why Lin Xuan dared to try refining the chaotic primordial yin energy.
zhè yě shì lín xuān wèi hé gǎn cháng shì liàn huà hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì 。
这也是林轩为何敢尝试炼化混沌太阴之气。
The rebirth of the phoenix through fire would greatly enhance the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame’s power in the short term. This increased success rate by a considerable margin.
fèng huáng niè chái ， yù huǒ ér chóng shēng ， jiāng tiān fèng líng xuè róng rù huàn líng tiān huǒ ， néng gòu ràng qí wēi lì ， zài duǎn shí jiān nèi bào zhǎng xǔ duō ， rú cǐ yī lái ， ràng chéng gōng lǜ ， yòu néng zēng jiā bù shǎo de 。
凤凰涅柴，浴火而重生，将天凤灵血融入幻灵天火，能够让其威力，在短时间内暴涨许多，如此一来，让成功率，又能增加不少的。
With all steps prepared, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated and raised his right hand, pointing it forward.
rú jīn suǒ yǒu bù zhòu ， dōu zhǔn bèi jiù xù ， lín xuān yě jiù bù zài chí yí ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
如今所有步骤，都准备就绪，林轩也就不再迟疑，右手抬起，一指向前点去。
"Quickly!"
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
As he moved, the size of the phoenix shrunk visibly, becoming only about a foot long.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà fèng huáng de tǐ jī ， jū rán yòu yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù ， suō xiǎo le xǔ duō ， biàn dé jǐn yǒu chǐ xǔ 。
随着他的动作，那凤凰的体积，居然又以肉眼可见的速度，缩小了许多，变得仅有尺许。
Despite its reduced size, it seemed more solid and substantial. At first glance, it didn’t appear to be an illusion but rather a tangible entity.
rán ér tǐ jī gù rán suō xiǎo le xǔ duō ， què xiǎn de gèng jiā de níng hòu dūn shí ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， jìng bù xiàng huàn huà zhī wù ， fǎng rú shí tǐ 。
然而体积固然缩小了许多，却显得更加的凝厚敦实，一眼望去，竟不像幻化之物，仿如实体。
Then, with a determined look on its face, the small phoenix spread its wings and flew towards the chaotic primordial yin energy.
suí hòu ， xiǎo fèng huáng de liǎn shàng ， lù chū yī sī jué rán ， shuāng chì yī zhǎn ， xiàng nà hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， fēi le guò qù 。
随后，小凤凰的脸上，露出一丝决然，双翅一展，像那混沌太阴之气，飞了过去。
Its eyes still showed some fear, but under Lin Xuan's urging, it swallowed the strand of chaotic primordial yin energy whole.
tā de yǎn zhōng ， yǐn yǐn hái shì yǒu jǐ fēn wèi jù ， dàn zài lín xuān de cuī cù xià ， hái shì yī kǒu jiāng nà lǚ hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， tūn luò jìn le dǔ zi lǐ 。
它的眼中，隐隐还是有几分畏惧，但在林轩的催促下，还是一口将那缕混沌太阴之气，吞落进了肚子里。
Lin Xuan watched closely as he raised his hands, pouring thick spiritual power into the phoenix’s body with a spell.
lín xuān kàn dé fēn míng ， shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， chún hòu yǐ jí de fǎ lì ， bàn suí zhāo fǎ jué ， zhù rù jìn fèng huáng de shēn tǐ 。
林轩看得分明，双手抬起，淳厚以极的法力，伴随着法诀，注入进凤凰的身体。
"Breath!"
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
Three months later, Lin Xuan emerged from the cave, visibly exhausted.
sān gè yuè hòu ， lín xuān cóng dòng fǔ zhōng chū lái ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì pí juàn 。
三个月后，林轩从洞府中出来，脸上满是疲倦。
Reflecting on the process of refining the chaotic primordial yin energy, Lin Xuan felt relieved and fortunate. The only way to describe it was by luck.
xiǎng xiǎng liàn huà hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì de guò chéng ， lín xuān xīn zhōng jiù qìng xìng bù yǐ ， jiǎo xìng shì wéi yī de xíng róng cí 。
想想炼化混沌太阴之气的过程，林轩心中就庆幸不已，侥幸是唯一的形容词。
His preparations had been thorough, but he still underestimated the danger of this treasure. His success purely depended on good fortune.
zì jǐ de zhǔn bèi ， kě yǐ shuō yǐ shì chōng fèn yǐ jí ， dàn yī jiù xiǎo kàn le cǐ bǎo de wēi xiǎn ， zuì hòu néng gòu liàn huà chéng gōng chún shǔ yùn qì 。
自己的准备，可以说已是充分以极，但依旧小看了此宝的危险，最后能够炼化成功纯属运气。
Note that Lin Xuan hadn’t refined all the chaotic primordial yin energy; over three months, he managed to refine just a strand as fine as a hair.
zhù yì ， lín xuān bú shì liàn huà wán le suǒ yǒu de hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， zhěng zhěng sān gè yuè ， tā jǐn jǐn liàn huà le nà fā sī dà xiǎo de yī lǚ 。
注意，林轩不是炼化完了所有的混沌太阴之气，整整三个月，他仅仅炼化了那发丝大小的一缕。
Although there was still plenty of chaotic primordial yin energy in the葫芦, Lin Xuan didn’t dare try again. His success this time was due to luck, and continuing to take risks might not yield such good fortune. A wise person knows when to stop.
suī rán hú lú zhōng de hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì hái yǒu xǔ duō ， dàn lín xuān kě bù gǎn zài cháng shì ， zhè yī cì ， néng gòu chéng gōng shì jiǎo xìng ， zài jì xù mào xiǎn xià qù ， kě jiù bù yí dìng yǒu zhè yàng de yùn qì ， cōng míng rén yào dǒng de shì kě ér zhǐ 。
虽然葫芦中的混沌太阴之气还有许多，但林轩可不敢再尝试，这一次，能够成功是侥幸，再继续冒险下去，可就不一定有这样的运气，聪明人要懂得适可而止。
Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t do anything without a chance of success.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì gàn méi yǒu bǎ wò de shǎ shì 。
林轩自然不会干没有把握的傻事。
While refining just one strand couldn’t grant the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame the unique power of chaotic primordial yin energy, it did increase its potency by about ten percent.
suī rán jǐn jǐn liàn huà yī lǚ ， wú fǎ ràng huàn líng tiān huǒ huò dé hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì tè yǒu de fǎ zé zhī lì ， dàn yě ràng qí wēi néng ， zēng jiā le shǎo xǔ 。
虽然仅仅炼化一缕，无法让幻灵天火获得混沌太阴之气特有的法则之力，但也让其威能，增加了少许。
Indeed, if both Yin and Yang energies were fully integrated, what benefits they would bring was beyond Lin Xuan’s imagination. However, he thought that such a technique might be capable of slaying immortals, not an exaggeration at all.
Lin Xuan still hadn't gathered all the components in his hands.
But that didn’t matter.
Even if he couldn’t simultaneously refine both Yin and Yang energies, simply adding the chaotic primordial yin energy would greatly enhance the power of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame. In fact, it might even increase more than twofold.
Such a good opportunity was one Lin Xuan wouldn't pass up for anything.
However, as he looked at the葫芦 in front of him, a trace of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
The chaotic primordial yin energy was indeed a treasure on par with heaven-defying standards. But it was also extremely dangerous.
Speaking of which, Yuanke had been quite lucky. She merely got frozen by this item; otherwise, with the chaotic primordial yin energy's divine powers, killing a spirit-stage creature would have been as easy as turning over one’s palm.
Facing such a perilous yet valuable treasure, Lin Xuan couldn’t afford any carelessness. His mind raced, and he reviewed the method from the Black Moon Heaven Witch Art on how to refine this item once again.
Previously, Lin Xuan had spent considerable time contemplating it, ensuring his understanding was without even the slightest error. The path of cultivation was not only arduous but also perilous. For instance, refining such a natured treasure could be immensely useful if successful, but failure would lead to an irreversible disaster for the refiner.

The葫芦 trembled as its surface emitted intense spiritual light, faint sounds of thunder and wind entering his ears. A thread-like strand of chaotic primordial yin energy emerged from within.
Though described as thin like a hair, it was no exaggeration; it was indeed as fine as a hair. Given Lin Xuan’s current strength, he wouldn’t dare release too much when refining this treasure to avoid putting himself in an extremely dangerous situation.
Lin Xuan wasn't foolish and certainly didn’t act rashly for quick gains!
And that thin strand of energy revealed its extraordinary nature.
Its color was unremarkable, a plain grayish hue. In the beginning of chaos, the colors of all things were like this.
However, the spiritual energy within it was anything but ordinary. It couldn't be called spiritual energy; chaotic primordial yin energy itself was one of the fundamental sources of the cosmos.

Lin Xuan examined that gray strand for a moment before waving his sleeves. A small flame, about the size of an egg, emerged from his sleeve, its surface emitting spiritual light and changing colors rapidly.
Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame!
It quietly hovered beside Lin Xuan.
Without pausing, his hands moved like butterflies, sending spell after spell from his fingertips.
The Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame emitted intense spiritual light, and its shape changed continuously.
The entire process lasted nearly half an hour.
Lin Xuan’s face showed no sign of relief. Sweat beads appeared on his forehead.
However, the color of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame became more vibrant.
Then a clear, high-pitched cry echoed in his ears.
The sound was as clear and resounding as if it had been flying through the nine heavens.
It resembled the call of a celestial phoenix according to legend. At the same time, the volume of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame suddenly increased by more than a hundred times, revealing a massive fireball.
Fortunately, this cave where Lin Xuan was located was incredibly spacious; otherwise, such a large fireball wouldn’t fit in his practice room.

With the celestial phoenix's essence blood integrated, it gave the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame a connection with the king of all birds, adding some level of influence.
This was why Lin Xuan dared to try refining the chaotic primordial yin energy.
The rebirth of the phoenix through fire would greatly enhance the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame’s power in the short term. This increased success rate by a considerable margin.
With all steps prepared, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated and raised his right hand, pointing it forward.
"Quickly!"
As he moved, the size of the phoenix shrunk visibly, becoming only about a foot long.
Despite its reduced size, it seemed more solid and substantial. At first glance, it didn’t appear to be an illusion but rather a tangible entity.
Then, with a determined look on its face, the small phoenix spread its wings and flew towards the chaotic primordial yin energy.
Its eyes still showed some fear, but under Lin Xuan's urging, it swallowed the strand of chaotic primordial yin energy whole.
Lin Xuan watched closely as he raised his hands, pouring thick spiritual power into the phoenix’s body with a spell.
"Breath!"
Three months later, Lin Xuan emerged from the cave, visibly exhausted.
Reflecting on the process of refining the chaotic primordial yin energy, Lin Xuan felt relieved and fortunate. The only way to describe it was by luck.
His preparations had been thorough, but he still underestimated the danger of this treasure. His success purely depended on good fortune.
Note that Lin Xuan hadn’t refined all the chaotic primordial yin energy; over three months, he managed to refine just a strand as fine as a hair.
Although there was still plenty of chaotic primordial yin energy in the葫芦, Lin Xuan didn’t dare try again. His success this time was due to luck, and continuing to take risks might not yield such good fortune. A wise person knows when to stop.
Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t do anything without a chance of success.
While refining just one strand couldn’t grant the Illusory Spirit Heaven Flame the unique power of chaotic primordial yin energy, it did increase its potency by about ten percent.
Indeed, if both Yin and Yang energies were fully integrated, what benefits they would bring was beyond Lin Xuan’s imagination. However, he thought that such a technique might be capable of slaying immortals, not an exaggeration at all.
