zhì cǐ ， tí liàn líng xuè suàn shì gào yí duàn luò ， jiē xià sòng jiù yīng gāi shì liàn huà le 。
至此，提炼灵血算是告一段落，接下宋就应该是炼化了。
By now, the refinement of the spirit blood had come to a temporary end. Next should be its transformation.
rán ér sú huà shuō ， xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， duì cǐ ， lín xuān dào bìng bú shì hěn jí pò ， jué dìng xiān xiū xī shù rì zài zuò dìng duó 。
然而俗话说，心急吃不了热豆腐，对此，林轩倒并不是很急迫，决定先休息数rì再做定夺。
However, as the saying goes, "Impatience eats hot tofu," and Lin Xuan was not particularly anxious about it. He decided to rest for several days before making any further decisions.
shuō gǎo láo zì jǐ yě kě ， zǒng zhī ， xiān jiāng jīng qì shén yǎng zú ， yào zhī dào xiū xiān ， gù rán yào xiàng dào zhī xīn jiān rèn cái kě ， dàn yī wèi kǔ xiū ， qí shí yě shì bìng bù kě qǔ de ， yǒu shí hòu ， yě xū yào shì dàng de láo yì jié hé 。
说槁劳自己也可，总之，先将jīng气神养足，要知道修仙，固然要向道之心坚韧才可，但一味苦修，其实也是并不可取的，有时候，也需要适当的劳逸结合。
He justified his own fatigue, but in general, he aimed to nourish his spirit and essence fully. After all, cultivation wasn't just about perseverance; excessive hardship was also undesirable. Sometimes, a proper balance of work and leisure was necessary.
lín xuān wài chū ， xún le yī fēng jǐng yōu měi zhī suǒ ， yóu shān wán shuǐ ， rán hòu yòu qù fán rén de jí shì zhōng dà chī dà hē ， zǒng zhī zěn me fàng sōng zěn me zuò ， yī huǎng yǎn ， bàn gè yuè jiù zhè yàng guò qù le 。
林轩外出，寻了一风景优美之所，游山玩水，然后又去凡人的集市中大吃大喝，总之怎么放松怎么做，一晃眼，半个月就这样过去了。
Lin Xuan went out and found a scenic spot where he could enjoy the mountains and rivers. He then visited the bustling marketplaces among ordinary people to feast and drink his fill. In no time at all, half a month had passed.
suí hòu ， lín xuān chī bǎo hē zú ， shēn xīn yú yuè de huí dào le zì jǐ de dòng fǔ 。
随后，林轩吃饱喝足，身心愉悦的回到了自己的洞府。
After satisfying himself with food and drink, Lin Xuan returned to his cave dwelling in high spirits.
jǐng wù yī qiè rú gù 。
景物一切如故。
Everything remained as it was.
gāi xiū xī yě dōu xiū xī gòu le ， jiē xià lái ， lín xuān bù zài dān gē ， rú jīn hái yǒu xǔ duō zhèng shì yào zuò 。
该休息也都休息够了，接下来，林轩不再耽搁，如今还有许多正事要做。
Having rested sufficiently, Lin Xuan decided not to delay any longer. There were still many important matters to attend to.
zhī ya ， shí mén dǎ kāi ， lín xuān lái dào le liàn gōng fáng lǐ miàn 。
吱呀，石门打开，林轩来到了练功房里面。
With a creak, the stone door opened, and he entered the training room.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī xuě bái de yù píng fēi lüè ér chū ， gāo bù guò bàn chǐ ， què xiǎn de shí fēn de xiù měi jīng zhì ， bèi yī tuán líng guāng bāo guǒ ， jiù xuán fú zài shēn qián shù chǐ zhī chù 。
袖袍一拂，一雪白的玉瓶飞掠而出，高不过半尺，却显得十分的秀美jīng致，被一团灵光包裹，就悬浮在身前数尺之处。
A snow-white jade bottle flew out from his sleeve robes, no more than half a foot tall but exquisitely beautiful. It was enveloped in a ball of spiritual light and hovered several feet before him.
lín xuān yòu shǒu qīng tái ， yī dào líng guāng jīshè chū zhǐ jiān 。
林轩右手轻抬，一道灵光jīshè出指尖。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and a beam of spiritual light shot out from his fingertips.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò “ pā dā ” yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì nà píng sāi zì jǐ fēi le qǐ lái 。
随着他的动作“啪嗒”一声传入耳朵，却是那瓶塞自己飞了起来。
The sound of "plunk" reached his ears as the bottle cap flew up on its own.
shà shí jiān ， yì xiāng pū bí ， zhēn chán líng xuè de wèi dào chōng yíng yú zhěng jiān shí shì 。
霎时间，异香扑鼻，真蟾灵血的味道充盈于整间石室。
Instantly, an intoxicating aroma filled the stone chamber, permeated by the essence of true spirit blood.
béng shuō liàn huà le ， guāng shì wén shàng zhè me yī kǒu jiù lìng rén hún shēn shū fú ， nà gǎn jué zhī měi nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ biǎo shù 。
甭说炼化了，光是闻上这么一口就令人浑身舒服，那感觉之美难以用言语表述。
Even without transformation, just inhaling it made one feel refreshed and comfortable; the beauty of that sensation was hard to put into words.
bù kuì shì zhēn líng zhī xuè ！
不愧是真灵之血！
Indeed, this was true spirit blood!
lín xuān suī rán zhǐ shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， dàn jì yù qí tè ， yǎn jiè zhī gāo bù xùn yú yì bān de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què yǒu jīng xǐ mò míng de gǎn jué 。
林轩虽然只是分神期修仙者，但际遇奇特，眼界之高不逊于一般的渡劫期老怪物，然而此时此刻，却有惊喜莫名的感觉。
Although Lin Xuan was only a Spirit Refinement Period cultivator, his experiences were unique, and his vision did not fall short of ordinary Golden Transformation Period veterans. At this moment, he felt an unexpected sense of delight.
yī shí jiān ， suǒ yǒu de yí tuán dōu jiě kāi le 。
一时间，所有的疑团都解开了。
All doubts had been resolved.
nán guài tiān yuán hóu huì duì zì jǐ jǐn zhuī bù shě ， shèn zhì yú dé zuì zhēn jí mén dōu bù guǎn bù gù 。
难怪天元侯会对自己紧追不舍，甚至于得罪真极门都不管不顾。
No wonder the Heavenly Essence Marquis had relentlessly pursued him, even going so far as to offend True Extreme Sect.
bú shì tā yī shí tóu nǎo fā rè ， ér shì zhēn chán líng xuè què yǒu ràng tā zhè me zuò de jià zhí yǔ zī gé 。
不是他一时头脑发热，而是真蟾灵血确有让他这么做的价值与资格。
It wasn't because he was impulsive; rather, true spirit blood truly warranted such actions and qualifications.
bì jìng zhè yàng de bǎo wù ， nǎi shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú ， ruò shì jiāng yǎn qián zhè ge jī yuán cuò guò xià yī cì ， jué rán bú huì zài yǒu 。
毕竟这样的宝物，乃是可遇而不可求，若是将眼前这个机缘错过下一次，决然不会再有。
After all, such treasures were rare and could not be sought after. If this opportunity were missed, it would likely never come again.
gù ér nǎ pà shì huàn yī míng dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， shí yǒu ** yě huì zhè me zuò 。
故而哪怕是换一名渡劫期修仙者，十有**也会这么做。
Hence, any Golden Transformation Period cultivator would surely do the same.
nǎo hǎi zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān yuè fā de jué de zì jǐ yùn dào bù cuò 。
脑海中如此想着，林轩越发的觉得自己运道不错。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan felt his luck was indeed good.
suī rán néng bǎo zhù zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， kào de shì zì jǐ de shí lì yǔ jì móu ， dàn yě bù dé bù shuō ， lǎo tiān yé duì zì jǐ què rán bù zǎo zhēn chán líng xuè lì jīng bō zhé ， zuì zhōng chéng wéi le zì jǐ de náng zhōng wù bù guò gāi zěn me shǐ yòng ， lín xuān què hái yào màn màn zhēn zhuó 。
虽然能保住这件宝物，靠的是自己的实力与计谋，但也不得不说，老天爷对自己确然不藻真蟾灵血历经波折，最终成为了自己的囊中物不过该怎么使用，林轩却还要慢慢斟酌。
While he relied on his strength and strategy to protect the treasure, he also acknowledged that the heavens had favored him. The true spirit blood of the golden jade moon had undergone many trials before becoming his possession. How it should be used, however, still needed careful consideration.
zhè bù bǐ qí tā de bǎo wù ， dé dào de jī huì nà shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， yòng yì diǎn shǎo yì diǎn ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān yào jǐn liàng jiāng tā de jià zhí fā huī dào zuì dà chéng dù 。
这不比其他的宝物，得到的机会那是屈指可数，用一点少一点，所以林轩要尽量将它的价值发挥到最大程度。
Unlike other treasures, which were rare and could not be wasted, Lin Xuan aimed to maximize its value. He would not let this effort go to waste.
yě bù wǎng zì jǐ yī fān xīn kǔ 。
也不枉自己一番辛苦。
He hadn't yet figured out all the uses for it but was ready to think deeply about them.
bié de yòng tú ， lín xuān hái méi yǒu xiǎng hǎo ， xū yào shēn sī shú lǜ yǐ zuò dìng duó 。
别的用途，林轩还没有想好，需要深思熟虑以做定夺。
Nevertheless, he wouldn't keep it idle; such a waste of a precious treasure would be sheer foolishness. Although he had not fully figured out how to use it, using the Black Moon Heaven Witch Technique to partially refine some of it seemed like a good idea.
bù guò lín xuān cái bú huì shǎ hū hū de jiāng qí shù zhī gāo gé ， nà yàng zuò ， jiǎn zhí shì bào zhēn tiān wù ， suī rán jù tǐ gāi zěn me yòng zàn shí hái méi yǒu xiǎng qīng chǔ ， dàn yòng mò yuè tiān wū jué xiān jiāng qí liàn huà yī bù fèn zǒng bú huì yǒu cuò 。
不过林轩才不会傻乎乎的将其束之高阁，那样做，简直是暴珍天物，虽然具体该怎么用暂时还没有想清楚，但用墨月天巫诀先将其炼化一部分总不会有错。
His main cultivation method, the Black Moon Heaven Witch Technique, already included the process of refining true spirit blood.
zì jǐ de zhǔ xiū gōng fǎ ， mò yuè tiān wū jué zhōng yuán běn yǒu yī xiàng jiù shì yào jiāng zhēn líng zhī xuè liàn huà 。
自己的主修功法，墨月天巫诀中原本有一项就是要将真灵之血炼化。
The more refined, the greater its power would be.
ér qiě liàn huà dé yuè duō ， wēi lì yě jiù yuè dà 。
而且炼化得越多，威力也就越大。
Up until now, he had been quite lucky. Various coincidences had allowed him to collect the true spirit blood of the celestial phoenix, qilin, and golden-winged vulture.
zài cǐ zhī qián ， zì jǐ yě suàn yùn qì bù cuò ， gè zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé yǐ jīng shōu luó dào tiān fèng 、 qí lín ， hái yǒu jīn chì dà péng niǎo sān zhǒng zhēn líng zhī xuè le 。
在此之前，自己也算运气不错，各种机缘巧合已经收罗到天凤、麒麟，还有金翅大鹏鸟三种真灵之血了。
While these sounded impressive, they were far less potent than the true spirit blood of the golden jade moon, which was freshly extracted.
tīng qǐ lái hěn lā fēng ， zhè sān zhǒng zhēn líng dōu yuǎn bǐ jīn yuè zhēn chán qiáng dà ， rán ér nà líng xuè de jià zhí ， què yuǎn bù rú a ！
听起来很拉风，这三种真灵都远比金玥真蟾强大，然而那灵血的价值，却远不如啊！
Apart from its unique aroma that filled the room, the first time it had been opened, this true spirit blood stood out. Lin Xuan's broad experience made him appreciate this opportunity even more.
tiān fèng zhēn xuè lái zì yáng zhī niǎo ， běn shēn jiù shì yóu hòu yì de xuè mài zhōng tí qǔ ér chū ， qí lín yǔ jīn chì dà péng niǎo dǎo shì huò zhēn jià shí de méi cuò ， dàn chuán chéng zì shàng gǔ lǐ miàn de líng lì ， yě zǎo liú shì le xǔ duō ， nǎ jí dé shàng jīn yuè zhēn chán shì xīn xiān chū lú 。
天凤真血来自阳脂鸟，本身就是由后裔的血脉中提取而出，麒麟与金翅大鹏鸟倒是货真价实的没错，但传承自上古里面的灵力，也早流逝了许多，哪及得上金玥真蟾是新鲜出炉。
By refining part of the true spirit blood with the Black Jade True Spirit Technique, he could gain immense benefits. This process couldn't be taken lightly; he needed to achieve perfection.
bié de bù shuō ， guāng shì dǎ kāi yù píng yǒu yì xiāng pū bí ér lái ， qián sān cì jiù bù céng yǒu guò ， cóng zhè yì diǎn 、 yě kě yǐ kàn chū zhēn chán líng xuè de yǔ zhòng bù tóng zhī chù 。
别的不说，光是打开玉瓶有异香扑鼻而来，前三次就不曾有过，从这一点、也可以看出真蟾灵血的与众不同之处。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan began his work.
lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， zì rán shì shí huò ， gù ér yǎn qián de jī yuán ， tā gèng jiā zhēn xī le 。
林轩见识广博，自然是识货，故而眼前的机缘，他更加珍惜了。
He was already well-versed in the Black Jade True Spirit Technique and didn't need to meditate on it further. He raised his right hand and pointed at a spot before him.
yǐ mò yù zhēn líng jué jiāng yī bù fèn zhēn chán líng xuè liàn huà ， zì jǐ kě yǐ dé dào mò dà de hǎo chù ， zhè ge guò chéng xiè dài bù dé ， yào jǐn kě néng ， dá dào wán měi de chéng dù 。
以墨玉真灵诀将一部分真蟾灵血炼化，自己可以得到莫大的好处，这个过程懈怠不得，要尽可能，达到完美的程度。
"Quickly!"
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān dòng shǒu le 。
心中如此想着，林轩动手了。
Lin Xuan's voice was clear as he spoke. Before the words left his mouth, a stream of spirit blood shot out from the bottle.
mò yù zhēn líng jué tā yǐ shì gǔn guā làn shú ， dào bù yòng zài xíng cān wù ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng zhe qián fāng diǎn chū 。
墨玉真灵诀他已是滚瓜烂熟，倒不用再行参悟，右手抬起，一指像着前方点出。
Unlike human blood, which was red, true spirit blood had a golden hue mixed with its deep crimson color. The intoxicating aroma became even more intense, making one feel refreshed and comfortable.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Lin Xuan's face showed signs of pleasure, but he knew that such moments required utmost concentration.
lín xuān de shēng yīn fēi cháng qīng xī ， huà yīn wèi luò ， yī dào líng xuè fēi chū le píng zi lǐ 。
林轩的声音非常清晰，话音未落，一道灵血飞出了瓶子里。
He raised both hands and pointed at the bottle, casting spell after spell. The spirit blood gathered in the middle, and a tiny toad-like creature appeared before his eyes.
yǔ rén lèi de xuè yè bù tóng ， zhēn chán líng xuè zài xiān hóng zhōng ， jū rán dài zhe yì diǎn jīn huáng de yán sè， tóng shí ， nà qìn rén xīn pí de yì xiāng ， yī xià zi nóng liè le xǔ duō ， ràng rén jué de hún shēn shū fú 。
与人类的血液不同，真蟾灵血在鲜红中，居然带着一点金黄的颜sè，同时，那沁人心脾的异香，一下子浓烈了许多，让人觉得浑身舒服。
No, it wasn't a toad; its shape was identical to the golden jade moon's true spirit, just scaled down by a factor of ten thousand but still vividly lifelike.
lín xuān liǎn shàng yě lù chū táo zuì zhī sè， dàn tā gèng zhī dào ， yuè shì zhè zhǒng shí kè ， yuè shì xiè dài bù dé 。
林轩脸上也露出陶醉之sè，但他更知道，越是这种时刻，越是懈怠不得。
"Transformed spirit blood!"
shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué jiē yī dào fǎ jué de xiàng qián diǎn qù ， nà líng xuè wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， suí hòu yī xiǎo qiǎo de chán há chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
双手抬起，一道法诀接一道法诀的向前点去，那灵血往中间一聚，随后一小巧的蟾蛤出现在了视线里。
Lin Xuan's voice echoed as he expressed satisfaction. This magical scene was something he had witnessed only in ancient texts before. The ability of spirit blood to transform into its true form indicated the richness of the spiritual energy within.
bù ， nǎ lǐ shì chán há ， gēn běn jiù yǔ jīn yuè zhēn chán de xíng zhuàng bié wú èr zhì ， zhǐ bù guò bǐ lì bú dào qí wàn fēn zhī yī ， dàn yī jiù shì huó líng huó xiàn yǐ jí 。
不，哪里是蟾蛤，根本就与金玥真蟾的形状别无二致，只不过比例不到其万分之一，但依旧是活灵活现以极。
Satisfied, Lin Xuan placed his hands on his knees and focused his energy. A tiny yuan婴 (immortal embryo) about an inch tall appeared above him, resembling Lin Xuan's features but with a more substantial appearance.
“ líng xuè huà xíng ！”
“灵血化形！”
Though still at the Spirit Refinement Period, this yuan婴 was no ordinary one; it far surpassed those of peers in power due to Lin Xuan’s vastly superior cultivation strength.
lín xuān zì yán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng mǎn yì wú bǐ 。
林轩自言自语的声音传入耳朵，脸上的表情满意无比。
The yuan婴 looked at the toad-like creature before it and showed a serious expression on its small face. Then, its eyes narrowed as it rapidly formed complex hand seals.
zhè shén qí de yí mù tā yě shì dì yī cì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， yǐ wǎng ， yě zhǐ zài gǔ jí shàng jiàn guò ， líng xuè néng gòu huàn huà chū zhēn líng běn tǐ ， zhèng míng lǐ miàn de líng qì ， què rán shì shí fēn nóng yù 。
这神奇的一幕他也是第一次亲眼目睹，以往，也只在古籍上见过，灵血能够幻化出真灵本体，证明里面的灵气，确然是十分浓郁。
As he moved, black electric arcs appeared before him, enveloping the yuan婴 and giving it an air of mystery.
lín xuān xīn zhōng mǎn yì ， shuāng shǒu píng fàng yú shuāng xī 。
林轩心中满意，双手平放于双膝。
Phantom Divine Thunder!
suí hòu líng guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè cùn xǔ gāo de yuán yīng què zài tā de tóu dǐng fú xiàn 。
随后灵光一闪，一个寸许高的元婴却在他的头顶浮现。
To be honest, this technique was impressive, but Lin Xuan's practice was still shallow; he couldn't yet control it with ease.
wǔ guān méi yǎn ， yǔ lín xuān bié wú èr zhì ， suī rán shēn xíng hái shì zhǐ yǒu nà me gāo ， rán ér yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， què xiǎn de níng hòu yǐ jí 。
五官眉眼，与林轩别无二致，虽然身形还是只有那么高，然而与以前相比，却显得凝厚以极。
At this moment, having the yuan婴 manipulate it added more effort. However, given that such a method would yield greater benefits, a little extra effort in the refining process was nothing to complain about.
bì jìng shì fēn shén qī xiū shì de yuán yīng ， suī rán hái zuò bú dào shén yóu tài xū ， dàn lín xuān de fǎ lì yuǎn chāo tóng jiē shù bèi yǒu yú ， zhè yuán yīng ， zì rán yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě dì 。
毕竟是分神期修士的元婴，虽然还做不到神游太虚，但林轩的法力远超同阶数倍有余，这元婴，自然也是非同小可地。
No effort, no gain—Lin Xuan understood this principle well enough.
yuán yīng kàn le yī yǎn qián miàn de chán há ， xiǎo liǎn shàng yě xiàn chū shí fēn yán sù de shén sè， suí hòu ， liǎng yǎn wēi mī ， shí zhǐ dàn tiào biàn huàn bù yǐ ， yí gè jiē yí gè de fù zá shǒu yìn chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
元婴看了一眼前面的蟾蛤，小脸上也现出十分严肃的神sè，随后，两眼微眯，十指弹跳变幻不已，一个接一个的复杂手印出现在视线里。
Phantom Divine Thunder alone wasn't sufficient.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， shēn qián jū rán chū xiàn le mì mì má má de hēi sè diàn hú 。
随着他的动作，身前居然出现了密密麻麻的黑sè电弧。
The yuan婴 flipped its left hand and a small flame appeared in its palm.
lǒng zhào zài yuán yīng de shēn cè ， ràng tā xiǎo qiǎo de shēn qū ， kàn shàng qù duō chū le jǐ fēn shén mì 。
笼罩在元婴的身侧，让他小巧的身躯，看上去多出了几分神秘。
Multicolored crystal, shimmering with changing light.
huàn yīn shén léi ！
幻yīn神雷！
Phantom Heavenly Fire!
shuō shí huà ， cǐ shén tōng suī rán bù sú ， dàn lín xuān xiū liàn de shí jiān bì jìng shàng qiǎn ， hái bù gǎn shuō dào shōu fā yóu xīn de dì bù 。
说实话，此神通虽然不俗，但林轩修炼的时间毕竟尚浅，还不敢说到收发由心的地步。
Lin Xuan also summoned this technique. (To be continued)
By now, the refinement of the spirit blood had come to a temporary end. Next should be its transformation.
However, as the saying goes, "Impatience eats hot tofu," and Lin Xuan was not particularly anxious about it. He decided to rest for several days before making any further decisions.
He justified his own fatigue, but in general, he aimed to nourish his spirit and essence fully. After all, cultivation wasn't just about perseverance; excessive hardship was also undesirable. Sometimes, a proper balance of work and leisure was necessary.
Lin Xuan went out and found a scenic spot where he could enjoy the mountains and rivers. He then visited the bustling marketplaces among ordinary people to feast and drink his fill. In no time at all, half a month had passed.
After satisfying himself with food and drink, Lin Xuan returned to his cave dwelling in high spirits.
Everything remained as it was.
Having rested sufficiently, Lin Xuan decided not to delay any longer. There were still many important matters to attend to.
With a creak, the stone door opened, and he entered the training room.
A snow-white jade bottle flew out from his sleeve robes, no more than half a foot tall but exquisitely beautiful. It was enveloped in a ball of spiritual light and hovered several feet before him.
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and a beam of spiritual light shot out from his fingertips.
