bǎ wán zhuó shǒu lǐ de yù pèi ， lín xuān xīn zhōng mào chū yí gè dà dǎn de niàn tou 。
把玩着手里的玉佩，林轩心中冒出一个大胆的念头。
Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Lin Xuan's mind suddenly flashed with a bold idea.
lǐ lùn shàng yīng gāi kě yǐ ， ér qiě cóng pǐn zhì shàng lái shuō ， yāo shòu de hún pò ， yào gèng shèng yī chóu 。
理论上应该可以，而且从品质上来说，妖兽的魂魄，要更胜一筹。
Theoretically, it should be possible. In terms of quality, the soul essence of amonster beast would be superior to that of ordinary humans.
jiù suàn shì jí è mó zūn suǒ jì liàn de wàn hún fān ， lǐ miàn fēng yìn de ， dà bù fèn yě shì pǔ tōng rén de hún pò ， xiū shì de jīng hún ， zuì duō zhǐ zhàn yī xiǎo bù fèn 。
就算是极恶魔尊所祭炼的万魂幡，里面封印的，大部分也是普通人的魂魄，修士的精魂，最多只占一小部分。
Even if it was the Ten Thousand Soul Banner worshipped by the Supreme Demon Sovereign, most of what it contained were ordinary people's souls; the souls of cultivators made up only a small portion at most.
suī rán zì jǐ shǒu lǐ zhǐ yǒu shù qiān yāo hún ， dàn tóng yàng kě yǐ liàn zhì chū wàn hún fān ， zhǐ bù guò wēi lì shāo cì ér yǐ 。
虽然自己手里只有数千妖魂，但同样可以炼制出万魂幡，只不过威力稍次而已。
Although he had only a few thousand demon souls in his possession, he could still refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. It would just be slightly weaker in power.
bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ， zhè zhǒng guǐ dào bǎo wù ， zhǐ yào yǐ hòu wǎng lǐ miàn jiā rù gèng duō de shòu hún ， wēi lì zì rán huì zhú jiàn zēng jiā 。
不过没有关系，这种鬼道宝物，只要以后往里面加入更多的兽魂，威力自然会逐渐增加。
But that was fine. These ghostly artifacts required only more beast souls to increase their power over time.
lín xuān shǒu zhǎng yī fān ， qǔ chū le kè yǒu 《 xuán mó zhēn jīng 》 de yù tǒng jiǎn ， rán hòu jiāng shén shí chén rù lǐ miàn ， zhǎo dào wàn hún fān bǎo wù yī lán ， kāi shǐ zǐ xì yán jiū le qǐ lái 。
林轩手掌一翻，取出了刻有《玄魔真经》的玉筒简，然后将神识沉入里面，找到万魂幡宝物一栏，开始仔细研究了起来。
Lin Xuan flipped his hand and took out an jade cylinder inscribed with the True Scripture of Profound Evil, then sank his divine consciousness into it to find the Ten Thousand Soul Banner section before carefully studying it.
yī huǎng yǎn guò qù le bàn nián 。
一晃眼过去了半年。
Half a year passed in a blink.
lín xuān yī rán méi yǒu kāi shǐ fǎ bǎo de cuì liàn ， zhī suǒ yǐ dān gē le zhè me jiǔ de shí jiān ， zì rán shì yīn wèi yòng shòu hún liàn zhì wàn hún fān yǔ xuán mó ** jì zǎi de pǒ wèi bù tóng ， lín xuān yòu méi yǒu rén kě yǐ qǐng jiào zhǐ diǎn ， zhǐ néng zì jǐ màn màn yán jiū 。
林轩依然没有开始法宝的淬炼，之所以耽搁了这么久的时间，自然是因为用兽魂炼制万魂幡与玄魔**记载的颇为不同，林轩又没有人可以请教指点，只能自己慢慢研究。
Lin Xuan had not yet started refining thetreasure. The delay was due to the significant differences between using beast souls to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the records in the True Scripture of Profound Evil. With no one to consult, he could only study on his own.
liù gè yuè de shí jiān suàn duǎn le 。
六个月的时间算短了。
Six months were too short.
měi tiān chú le bì yào de dǎ zuò ， lín xuān shèng xià de jīng lì quán dōu yòng zài le guān yú wàn hún fān liàn zhì zhī fǎ de tuī qiāo yán jiū 。
每天除了必要的打坐，林轩剩下的精力全都用在了关于万魂幡炼制之法的推敲研究。
Apart from necessary meditation, Lin Xuan devoted all his remaining energy to researching the method for refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
“ kàn lái yīng gāi shì kě xíng de 。” lín xuān fàng xià shǒu zhōng de yù tǒng ， zhè bàn nián lái ， tā jiāng wàn hún fān de liàn zhì zhī fǎ dú le jǐ qiān biàn ， kě yǐ shuō dào bèi rú liú 。
“看来应该是可行的。”林轩放下手中的玉筒，这半年来，他将万魂幡的炼制之法读了几千遍，可以说倒背如流。
"It seems feasible," Lin Xuan said as he put down the jade cylinder. Over these past six months, he had read through the method thousands of times and could recite it by heart. He also released a few beast souls, which transformed into red flames in his controlled fire pit.
ér qiě hái fàng chū shǎo xǔ shòu hún 。 zuò le yī xià shì yàn jié guǒ bǐ yòng shēng rén hún pò liàn zhì mó fān suī rán yào nán shàng shǎo xǔ 。 dàn cǐ fǎ què shí xíng dé tōng 。 lín xuān dà xǐ zhī xià 。 zhōng yú jué dìng dòng shǒu le 。
而且还放出少许兽魂。做了一下试验结果比用生人魂魄炼制魔幡虽然要难上少许。但此法确实行得通。林轩大喜之下。终于决定动手了。
The earth pulse fire.
shuō qǐ zhè wàn hún fān 。 zuì nán dì yì diǎn 。 jiù shì xū yào dà liàng dì jīng hún 。 zhì yú cái liào 。 suī rán bǐ pǔ tōng dì fǎ bǎo yào nán zhǎo nà me yī xiē 。 dàn bǐ qǐ yōu míng suì xīn jiàn yǔ jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán 。 zé xiǎn de wēi bù zú dào 。
说起这万魂幡。最难地一点。就是需要大量地精魂。至于材料。虽然比普通地法宝要难找那么一些。但比起幽冥碎心剑与九天明月环。则显得微不足道。
A smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face. He flicked his fingers to inject more spells, causing the flames to grow increasingly fierce until they formed a one-foot-wide fireball above the beast. The earth pulse fire continuously supplied it with energy.
lín xuān jiāng wàn nián hán yù qǔ chū 。 cǐ nǎi yīn shǔ xìng zhī wù 。 yòng lái liàn zhì wàn hún fān zuì hǎo bù guò 。 shuō qǐ lái yǐ jīng bǐ jiào shē chǐ le 。 dāng nián dì jí è mó zūn yě bù guò shì yòng xiū luó tiě zuò wéi zhǔ yuán liào 。
林轩将万年寒玉取出。此乃阴属性之物。用来炼制万魂幡最好不过。说起来已经比较奢侈了。当年地极恶魔尊也不过是用修罗铁做为主原料。
For refining atreasure, higher flame temperatures were better. Using pure yang dan fire would result in a higher quality product. However, no one did that.
ér wàn nián hán yù bǐ xiū luó tiě yào gèng shèng yī chóu 。 liàn zhì chū lái dì mó fān zì rán yě jiù wēi lì gèng qiáng le 。
而万年寒玉比修罗铁要更胜一筹。炼制出来地魔幡自然也就威力更强了。
The reason was simple: refining atreasure took months or even years of constant effort. Even a condensation period cultivator like Lin Xuan couldn't sustain such power for long.
dāng rán 。 nà shì zhǐ zhǔ rén xiū wèi xiāng tóng 。 qiě lǐ miàn fēng yìn yǒu tóng yàng duō dì hún pò 。
当然。那是指主人修为相同。且里面封印有同样多地魂魄。
Thus, he used earth pulse fire at the beginning and only switched to pure yang dan fire when it mattered most.
lín xuān dì xiǎng fǎ hěn jiǎn dān 。 jì rán yào liàn jiù liàn zuì hǎo dì 。 fǒu zé hái bù rú yòng xiàn chéng dì gǔ bǎo suàn le 。
林轩地想法很简单。既然要炼就炼最好地。否则还不如用现成地古宝算了。
Lin Xuan had already cast levitation spells on the ten-thousand-year-old jade. He carefully guided his flames into the fireball without entering it...
jiāng jí yīn è líng zhèn jiǎn chá le yī biàn ， yòu jiāng yuè ér jiào lái xì xì dì dīng zhǔ le yī biàn ， rán hòu lín xuān cái lái dào liàn dān shì ， kāi shǐ fǎ bǎo de liàn zhì 。
将极阴恶灵阵检查了一遍，又将月儿叫来细细地叮嘱了一遍，然后林轩才来到炼丹室，开始法宝的炼制。
Then, Lin Xuan took out some other auxiliary materials like thousand-year copper essence and used the same method to send them into the earth pulse fire.
jiāng suǒ xū de cái liào yī yī qǔ chū fàng hǎo 。
将所需的材料一一取出放好。
The process went smoothly, and Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
lín xuān jiāng wàn nián hán yù ná zài shǒu shàng ， zǐ xì duān xiáng le yī fān ， rán hòu yī dào piāo fú de fǎ jué dǎ zài shàng miàn ，
林轩将万年寒玉拿在手上，仔细端详了一番，然后一道漂浮的法诀打在上面，
Three months passed in an instant.
suí jí zuǒ shǒu shēn chū shí zhǐ 。 qīng qīng yì diǎn ， suí zhāo fǎ lì zhù rù ， liàn dān shì zhōng jiān de shòu pēn chū le xiān hóng de huǒ yàn ！
随即左手伸出食指。轻轻一点，随着法力注入，炼丹室中间的兽喷出了鲜红的火焰！
Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, stopping the earth pulse fire. The fireball shrank until it dissipated into thin air.
dì mài zhī huǒ 。
地脉之火。
In front of him appeared several colorful energy balls.
lín xuān liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī xǐ sè 。 shí zhǐ fēn dàn ， yī dào yòu yī dào dì fǎ jué zhù rù qí jiān ， zài tā de cāo kòng xià ， huǒ yàn yuè de péng bó rán shāo le qǐ lái 。
林轩脸上闪过一丝喜色。十指分弹，一道又一道地法诀注入其间，在他的操控下，火焰越的蓬勃燃烧了起来。
A serious expression crossed Lin Xuan's face. The refinement process was now at its critical stage; success or failure hinged on this moment. Lin Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a golden dan fire.
bìng zài shòu shàng fāng ， jù chéng le yí gè zhí jìng chǐ xǔ de huǒ qiú ， xià miàn de dì mài zhī huǒ zé yuán yuán bù duàn de zhù rù 。
并在兽上方，聚成了一个直径尺许的火球，下面的地脉之火则源源不断的注入。
The dan fire hovered above his palm, forming a tiny golden light point the size of a thumb.
liàn zhì fǎ bǎo ， huǒ yàn de wēn dù zì rán shì yuè gāo yuè hǎo ， yòng chún yáng dān huǒ liàn zhì ， pǐn zhì huì gèng gāo 。 dàn méi yǒu rén huì nà me zuò 。
炼制法宝，火焰的温度自然是越高越好，用纯阳丹火炼制，品质会更高。但没有人会那么做。
Lin Xuan continued to spit more dan fires.
yuán yīn wú tā ， liàn zhì fǎ bǎo ， kě bú shì yī tiān liǎng tiān ， dòng zé shù yuè ， shèn zhì shàng nián ， bié shuō zì jǐ yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de níng dān qī xiū zhēn ， jiù suàn shì yuán yīng qī lǎo guài lái le ， fǎ lì yě zhī chēng bú dào zhè me jiǔ 。
原因无他，炼制法宝，可不是一天两天，动则数月，甚至上年，别说自己一个小小的凝丹期修真，就算是元婴期老怪来了，法力也支撑不到这么久。
The entire process was energy-intensive. When the golden fireball grew as large as a fist, Lin Xuan's face turned pale, but he did not slacken.
suǒ yǐ ， zài qián qī 。 dōu shì yòng dì mài zhī huǒ dài tì ， zhǐ yǒu dào le guān jiàn shí kè ， cái huì dòng yòng chún yáng dān huǒ 。
所以，在前期。都是用地脉之火代替，只有到了关键时刻，才会动用纯阳丹火。
"Go!"
lín xuān yǐ jīng zài wàn nián hán yù shàng shī jiā le piāo fú shù ， cǐ kè xiǎo xīn de cāo kòng jìn rù huǒ qiú ， bìng mò rù qí zhōng ……
林轩已经在万年寒玉上施加了漂浮术，此刻小心的操控进入火球，并没入其中……
He blew at the fireball, which floated towards the misty balls in front of him.
rán hòu ， lín xuān yòu qǔ chū qiān nián tóng jīng děng qí tā yī xiē fǔ zhù xìng cái liào ， yòng tóng yàng dì fāng fǎ jiāng men sòng jìn dì mài zhī huǒ 。
然后，林轩又取出千年铜精等其他一些辅助性材料，用同样地方法将们送进地脉之火。
Lin Xuan raised his hands and cast a spell, shouting, "Quickly!"
zhěng gè guò chéng méi yǒu chā cuò ， lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì 。
整个过程没有差错，林轩松了口气。
The golden fireball suddenly expanded before rapidly contracting into a vortex.
sān gè yuè de shí jiān zhuǎn shùn jí shì 。
三个月的时间转瞬即逝。
The vortex sucked in all the mists. The white mist from the ten-thousand-year-old jade was first, followed by the yellow mist from copper essence, then green and red...
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， dì mài zhī huǒ tíng zhǐ le pēn 。 nà huǒ qiú yuè lái yuè xiǎo 。 zhí zhì xiāo sàn zài le kōng qì lǐ miàn 。
林轩袖袍一拂，地脉之火停止了喷。那火球越来越小。直至消散在了空气里面。
Seeing that all the mists were absorbed, Lin Xuan opened his mouth to spit out a small pearl as big as a dragon's eye.
ér tā de miàn qián ， zé chū xiàn le jǐ gè wǔ yán liù sè dì qì tuán 。
而他的面前，则出现了几个五颜六色地气团。
Xuanhuo Divine Pearl!
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū le yī lǚ níng zhòng de biǎo qíng 。 qián miàn jiǎng cái liào liàn huà bìng méi yǒu shén me kě shuō de ， xiàn zài cái dào le zuì guān jiàn de shí kè ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō shèng bài zài cǐ yī jǔ le 。 lín xuān zhāng kāi zuǐ ， jiāng yī lǚ jīn sè de dān huǒ pēn le chū lái 。
林轩脸上露出了一缕凝重的表情。前面讲材料炼化并没有什么可说的，现在才到了最关键的时刻，甚至可以说胜败在此一举了。林轩张开嘴，将一缕金色的丹火喷了出来。
With this fire attribute artifact assisting him, he hoped it would help with the refinement process.
nà dān huǒ piāo fú zài shǒu zhǎng de shàng fāng ， níng jù chéng le yí gè mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de jīn sè guāng diǎn 。
那丹火漂浮在手掌的上方，凝聚成了一个拇指大小的金色光点。
He cast two spells of blue and green. The Xuanhuo Divine Pearl paused before spewing countless flames...
rán hòu lín xuān jì xù pēn chū gèng duō de dān huǒ 。
然后林轩继续喷出更多的丹火。
The entire process lasted a day.
zhěng gè guò chéng hěn xiāo hào fǎ lì ， dāng jīn sè de huǒ qiú yǒu quán tou dà xiǎo shí hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng dì biǎo qíng yǐ jīng cāng bái wú bǐ ， dàn tā de shén qíng què sī háo méi yǒu sōng xiè zhī yì 。
整个过程很消耗法力，当金色的火球有拳头大小时候，林轩脸上地表情已经苍白无比，但他的神情却丝毫没有松懈之意。
Then Lin Xuan retracted his flames with a strained expression.
“ qù ！”
“去！”
A short rod about an inch long appeared in the firelight, its color mottled and impure—mostly jade, but with many green, red, and yellow spots.
lín xuān chōng zháo huǒ qiú chuī le kǒu qì ， biàn huàng huàng yōu yōu de fēi dào le jǐ tuán wù qì de miàn qián 。
林轩冲着火球吹了口气，便晃晃悠悠的飞到了几团雾气的面前。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan sighed. He frowned deeply; it was clear that he had made a mistake when fusing the main ten-thousand-year-old jade with the auxiliary materials.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu píng jǔ ， yī qiā fǎ jué ， qīng hè dào ：“ jí ！”
林轩双手平举，一掐法诀，轻喝道：“疾！”
This item was considered wasted.
jīn sè de huǒ qiú měng rán yī fàng ， rán hòu zài xùn sù shōu suō ， zuì hòu jìng rán dī liū liū de xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái le ， biàn chéng le yí gè xuán wō 。
金色的火球猛然一放，然后再迅速收缩，最后竟然滴溜溜的旋转起来了，变成了一个漩涡。
It seemed he had been too hasty. Although he had already pondered the method for refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner thousands of times, it was just theoretical. In essence, it was like trying to refine a pill from a book—practical experience was lacking.
xuán wō dài qǐ liǎo wú jǐn de xī lì ， xiān shì kào dé zuì jìn de nà tuán ， yóu wàn nián hán yù suǒ huà de bái sè wù qì bèi xī rù le jìn qù ， jiē zhe yòu shì tóng jīng suǒ huà dì huáng sè wù qì ， jǐn jiē zhe shì lǜ sè yǔ hóng sè ……
漩涡带起了无尽的吸力，先是靠得最近的那团，由万年寒玉所化的白色雾气被吸入了进去，接着又是铜精所化地黄色雾气，紧接着是绿色与红色……
If he knew this now, he should have been more patient and spent several years studying the refinement methods, increasing his chances of success.
jiàn suǒ yǒu de wù qì dōu bèi xī rù ， lín xuān zhāng kāi zuǐ ， tǔ chū yī lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de zhū zi lái 。
见所有的雾气都被吸入，林轩张开嘴，吐出一龙眼大小的珠子来。
Lin Xuan looked at the short rod in his hand but did not want to discard it. Although theoretically, such wasted materials were as useless as waste pills, he remembered that his body contained a blue star sea. This technique could purify various refining materials, not just pills.
xuán huǒ shén zhū ！
玄火神珠！
Previously, Lin Xuan had tried extracting the mother of xuan iron from The Heavenly Thunder Technique's pages but failed. However, it proved that this path was viable.
yǒu le zhè huǒ shǔ xìng fǎ bǎo de bāng zhù ， xiǎng bì duì yú liàn huà guò chéng huì yǒu bù shǎo bāng zhù 。
有了这火属性法宝的帮助，想必对于炼化过程会有不少帮助。
The difference in difficulty between purifying raw materials and pills was significant. Back then, his blue star sea was too small to succeed, but now he was a condensation period cultivator with a much larger star sea in his dantian compared to before.
qīng lán èr sè liǎng dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， xuán huǒ shén zhū yī dùn zhī hòu ， lì kè yǒu wú shù de huǒ yàn pēn chū lái ……
青蓝二色两道法诀打出，玄火神珠一顿之后，立刻有无数的火焰喷出来……
Lin Xuan took out an jade box, storing the waste material inside before heading to the living room for rest.
zhè ge guò chéng zhěng zhěng chí xù le yī tiān 。
这个过程整整持续了一天。
After half a month, Lin Xuan's cultivation and mental energy were at their peak. He bathed and changed clothes before starting the purification process.
rán hòu lín xuān liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn de shōu huí huǒ yàn 。
然后林轩脸色有些难看的收回火焰。
He sat cross-legged and held the short rod in his hand. His divine consciousness spread out, enveloping it as he used inner vision techniques to activate the light points within...
huǒ guāng zhōng ， yī gēn mǔ zhǐ cū xì ， zhǎng yuē chǐ xǔ de duǎn bàng chū xiàn ， rán ér zhè duǎn bàng de yán sè què bān bó bù chún ， zǒng tǐ shuō lái ， shì yī gēn yù ， rán ér chú le bái sè de zhǔ tǐ ， shàng miàn yǒu hěn duō lǜ sè ， hóng sè ， huáng sè dì bān diǎn 。
火光中，一根拇指粗细，长约尺许的短棒出现，然而这短棒的颜色却斑驳不纯，总体说来，是一根玉，然而除了白色的主体，上面有很多绿色，红色，黄色地斑点。
The refinement of refining materials was no different from purifying waste pills; the only difference was that it was more difficult. Lin Xuan had long mastered this.
kàn dào zhè yí mù ， lín xuān bù yóu tàn le kǒu qì ， méi tóu dà zhòu le qǐ lái ， bú yòng shuō 。 shì jiāng zhǔ tǐ dì wàn nián hán yù yǔ qí tā fǔ zhù cái liào róng hé de shí hòu chū le chā cuò 。
看到这一幕，林轩不由叹了口气，眉头大皱了起来，不用说。是将主体地万年寒玉与其他辅助材料融合的时候出了差错。
He controlled the light points, separating several auxiliary materials as impurities one by one.
yǎn qián dì dōng xī ， suàn shì liàn fèi le 。
眼前地东西，算是炼废了。
Five days and five nights passed.
kàn lái zì jǐ hái shì tài xīn jí le ， suī rán shì xiān yǐ jīng jiāng wàn hún fān de liàn zhì zhī fǎ chuǎi mó le qiān biàn ， dàn nà bì jìng shì zài nǎo hǎi lǐ yì xiǎng ， méi yǒu fù zhū shí jiàn ， jiǎn dān de shuō 。 yǔ zhǐ shàng tán bīng chà bu duō 。
看来自己还是太心急了，虽然事先已经将万魂幡的炼制之法揣摩了千遍，但那毕竟是在脑海里臆想，没有付诸实践，简单的说。与纸上谈兵差不多。
"Phew!"
zǎo zhī rú cǐ ， yīng gāi bú yào lìn sè shí jiān ， yīng gāi huā gè jǐ nián ， chuǎi mó fǎ bǎo de liàn zhì fāng fǎ ， chéng gōng lǜ huì jiào gāo 。
早知如此，应该不要吝啬时间，应该花个几年，揣摩法宝的炼制方法，成功率会较高。
Lin Xuan sighed in relief, then collapsed onto the ground without regard for his appearance. He had been lucky; the star sea's volume was only a little short of the critical threshold. If not for divine providence...
kàn zhuó shǒu zhōng dì duǎn bàng ， lín xuān bìng bù shě dé diū diào ， suī rán lǐ lùn shàng ， zhè zhǒng liàn fèi de cái liào jiù rú fèi dān yī yàng ， méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。 dàn bié wàng le ， lín xuān tǐ nèi yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi ó ， cǐ shén tōng bìng fēi jǐn jǐn néng gòu tí chún dān yào 。 duì gè zhǒng liàn qì cái liào ， tóng yàng yǒu xiào 。
看着手中地短棒，林轩并不舍得丢掉，虽然理论上，这种炼废的材料就如废丹一样，没有用处。但别忘了，林轩体内有蓝色星海哦，此神通并非仅仅能够提纯丹药。对各种炼器材料，同样有效。
Looking at the ten-thousand-year-old jade in his palm, Lin Xuan, though exhausted, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
dāng chū lín xuān jiù shì guò cóng 《 tiān léi jué 》 de shū yè zhōng tí chún xuán tiě zhī mǔ ， suī rán yǐ shī bài gào zhōng ， dàn què zhèng míng liǎo cǐ lù què shí xíng dé tōng 。
当初林轩就试过从《天雷决》的书页中提纯玄铁之母，虽然以失败告终，但却证明了此路确实行得通。
The other auxiliary materials were not as important, and he could afford to lose them. However, this ten-thousand-year-old jade was extremely precious; there was only a small piece of it in his possession, so he couldn't waste it.
zhǐ bù guò tí chún cái liào bǐ tí chún dān yào nán dé duō ， nà shí hòu shì yóu yú lán sè xīng hǎi de tǐ jī bù gòu ， ér rú jīn ， zì jǐ yǐ jīng shì níng dān qī de gāo shǒu ， dān tián nèi xīng hǎi de tǐ jī yǔ dāng rì xiāng bǐ ， zǎo yǐ bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
只不过提纯材料比提纯丹药难得多，那时候是由于蓝色星海的体积不够，而如今，自己已经是凝丹期的高手，丹田内星海的体积与当日相比，早已不可同日而语。
After resting and regaining his strength, Lin Xuan carefully stored the purified materials.
lín xuān qǔ chū yí gè yù hé 。 jiāng zhè kuài fèi liào shōu le jìn qù 。 rán hòu lái dào qǐ jū shì kāi shǐ xiū xī 。
林轩取出一个玉盒。将这块废料收了进去。然后来到起居室开始休息。
He pondered for a moment before leaving the training room.
bàn yuè hòu ， lín xuān dì fǎ lì yǔ jīng shén dōu huī fù dào le zuì jiā zhuàng tài ， zhè cái mù yù gēng yī ， kāi shǐ tí chún 。
半月后，林轩地法力与精神都恢复到了最佳状态，这才沐浴更衣，开始提纯。
Moon's delicate face appeared. The girl was actually meditating outside his door, truly dedicated. Lin Xuan felt ashamed of himself.
pán xī zuò xià ， lín xuān jiāng duǎn bàng wò zài shǒu lǐ ， shén shí fàng chū ， jiāng lǒng zhào qǐ lái ， suí jí shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī fǎ ， diào dòng xīng hǎi zhī zhōng de guāng diǎn ……
盘膝坐下，林轩将短棒握在手里，神识放出，将笼罩起来，随即施展内视之法，调动星海之中的光点……
"Master," Moon opened her eyes with a sweet smile: "Did you finish refining the artifact?"
shuō qǐ lái 。 zhè liàn qì cái liào de tí chún ， yǔ fèi dān bié wú èr zhì ， wéi yī de chā bié ， jiù shì gèng jiā jiān nán ér yǐ ， lín xuān zǎo yǐ jià qīng jiù shú 。
说起来。这炼器材料的提纯，与废丹别无二致，唯一的差别，就是更加艰难而已，林轩早已驾轻就熟。
"No, it failed." Lin Xuan shook his head.
kòng zhì guāng diǎn ， jiāng jǐ zhōng fǔ zhù cái liào zuò wéi zá zhì ， yī yī tí chún ér chū 。
控制光点，将几钟辅助材料作为杂质，一一提纯而出。
"What should we do then?" Moon's expression turned worried as she consoled him: "Master, don't be sad."
zhěng zhěng wǔ tiān wǔ yè guò qù le 。
整整五天五夜过去了。
"Haha, silly girl. Look at me; am I sad? Don't forget, I have a blue star sea. If the artifact fails, I can purify it and try again."
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
"Oh!" Moon remembered her master's extraordinary abilities and felt overjoyed.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， rán hòu yī xià zi háo bù gù jì xíng xiàng de tān dào zài dì ， hǎo xiǎn 。 xīng hǎi de tǐ jī yǐ jīng suō xiǎo dào le jǐng jiè xiàn 。 zhǐ chà yì diǎn diǎn tí chún jiù bù néng wán chéng ， xìng hǎo lǎo tiān bǎo yòu 。
林轩松了口气，然后一下子毫不顾忌形象的瘫倒在地，好险。星海的体积已经缩小到了警戒线。只差一点点提纯就不能完成，幸好老天保佑。
"Alright, keep working hard to form your condensation sphere," Lin Xuan encouraged before bidding farewell to Moon and entering the spirit beast room.
bù guò kàn zhe tǎng zài zhǎng xīn zhōng de wàn nián hán yù 。 lín xuān jǐn guǎn pí bèi wú bǐ ， liǎn shàng hái shì lù chū le chàng kuài de xiào yì 。
不过看着躺在掌心中的万年寒玉。林轩尽管疲惫无比，脸上还是露出了畅快的笑意。
Just as he opened the door, a ball rolled under his feet. Then, the ball slowly extended its fat, odd legs and large round eyes that took up a quarter of its face—this was the little creature hatched from the demon king's cave!
qí tā de fǔ zhù cái liào dào yě bà le ， yǐ lín xuān xiàn zài dì shēn jiā ， wán quán shū dé qǐ ， rán ér zhè wàn nián hán yù ， kě shì zhēn guì yǐ jí ， lín xuān shǒu zhōng ， yě jiù zhè me qū qū yī xiǎo kuài ér yǐ ， zì rán bù néng làng fèi le qù 。
其他的辅助材料倒也罢了，以林轩现在地身家，完全输得起，然而这万年寒玉，可是珍贵以极，林轩手中，也就这么区区一小块而已，自然不能浪费了去。
Thinking about this creature made Lin Xuan headache. When it hatched, he had gone through great trouble, almost discarding it as a dead egg. After much effort, the little guy finally emerged after absorbing some of his condensation period energy.
xiū xī huī fù tǐ lì yǐ hòu ， lín xuān jiāng tí chún chū lái de cái liào chóng xīn shōu hǎo 。
休息恢复体力以后，林轩将提纯出来的材料重新收好。
However, its appearance left Lin Xuan wide-eyed; it was nearly spherical with only hair covering its body.
lüè yī chén yín ， zǒu chū le liàn gōng shì 。
略一沉吟，走出了练功室。
Was this a beast or a pet? Although Lin Xuan had such doubts, he didn't think so because Tiansha Demon Sovereign was an extraordinary genius who wouldn't be that bored.
Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Lin Xuan's mind suddenly flashed with a bold idea.
Theoretically, it should be possible. In terms of quality, the soul essence of amonster beast would be superior to that of ordinary humans.
Even if it was the Ten Thousand Soul Banner worshipped by the Supreme Demon Sovereign, most of what it contained were ordinary people's souls; the souls of cultivators made up only a small portion at most.
Although he had only a few thousand demon souls in his possession, he could still refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. It would just be slightly weaker in power.
But that was fine. These ghostly artifacts required only more beast souls to increase their power over time.
Lin Xuan flipped his hand and took out an jade cylinder inscribed with the True Scripture of Profound Evil, then sank his divine consciousness into it to find the Ten Thousand Soul Banner section before carefully studying it.
Half a year passed in a blink.
Lin Xuan had not yet started refining thetreasure. The delay was due to the significant differences between using beast souls to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the records in the True Scripture of Profound Evil. With no one to consult, he could only study on his own.
Six months were too short.
Apart from necessary meditation, Lin Xuan devoted all his remaining energy to researching the method for refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
"It seems feasible," Lin Xuan said as he put down the jade cylinder. Over these past six months, he had read through the method thousands of times and could recite it by heart. He also released a few beast souls, which transformed into red flames in his controlled fire pit.
The earth pulse fire.
A smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face. He flicked his fingers to inject more spells, causing the flames to grow increasingly fierce until they formed a one-foot-wide fireball above the beast. The earth pulse fire continuously supplied it with energy.
For refining atreasure, higher flame temperatures were better. Using pure yang dan fire would result in a higher quality product. However, no one did that.
The reason was simple: refining atreasure took months or even years of constant effort. Even a condensation period cultivator like Lin Xuan couldn't sustain such power for long.
Thus, he used earth pulse fire at the beginning and only switched to pure yang dan fire when it mattered most.
Lin Xuan had already cast levitation spells on the ten-thousand-year-old jade. He carefully guided his flames into the fireball without entering it...
Then, Lin Xuan took out some other auxiliary materials like thousand-year copper essence and used the same method to send them into the earth pulse fire.
The process went smoothly, and Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Three months passed in an instant.
Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, stopping the earth pulse fire. The fireball shrank until it dissipated into thin air.
In front of him appeared several colorful energy balls.
A serious expression crossed Lin Xuan's face. The refinement process was now at its critical stage; success or failure hinged on this moment. Lin Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a golden dan fire.
The dan fire hovered above his palm, forming a tiny golden light point the size of a thumb.
Lin Xuan continued to spit more dan fires.
The entire process was energy-intensive. When the golden fireball grew as large as a fist, Lin Xuan's face turned pale, but he did not slacken.
"Go!"
He blew at the fireball, which floated towards the misty balls in front of him.
Lin Xuan raised his hands and cast a spell, shouting, "Quickly!"
The golden fireball suddenly expanded before rapidly contracting into a vortex.
The vortex sucked in all the mists. The white mist from the ten-thousand-year-old jade was first, followed by the yellow mist from copper essence, then green and red...
Seeing that all the mists were absorbed, Lin Xuan opened his mouth to spit out a small pearl as big as a dragon's eye.
Xuanhuo Divine Pearl!
With this fire attribute artifact assisting him, he hoped it would help with the refinement process.
He cast two spells of blue and green. The Xuanhuo Divine Pearl paused before spewing countless flames...
The entire process lasted a day.
Then Lin Xuan retracted his flames with a strained expression.
A short rod about an inch long appeared in the firelight, its color mottled and impure—mostly jade, but with many green, red, and yellow spots.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan sighed. He frowned deeply; it was clear that he had made a mistake when fusing the main ten-thousand-year-old jade with the auxiliary materials.
This item was considered wasted.
It seemed he had been too hasty. Although he had already pondered the method for refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner thousands of times, it was just theoretical. In essence, it was like trying to refine a pill from a book—practical experience was lacking.
If he knew this now, he should have been more patient and spent several years studying the refinement methods, increasing his chances of success.
Lin Xuan looked at the short rod in his hand but did not want to discard it. Although theoretically, such wasted materials were as useless as waste pills, he remembered that his body contained a blue star sea. This technique could purify various refining materials, not just pills.
Previously, Lin Xuan had tried extracting the mother of xuan iron from The Heavenly Thunder Technique's pages but failed. However, it proved that this path was viable.
The difference in difficulty between purifying raw materials and pills was significant. Back then, his blue star sea was too small to succeed, but now he was a condensation period cultivator with a much larger star sea in his dantian compared to before.
Lin Xuan took out an jade box, storing the waste material inside before heading to the living room for rest.
After half a month, Lin Xuan's cultivation and mental energy were at their peak. He bathed and changed clothes before starting the purification process.
He sat cross-legged and held the short rod in his hand. His divine consciousness spread out, enveloping it as he used inner vision techniques to activate the light points within...
The refinement of refining materials was no different from purifying waste pills; the only difference was that it was more difficult. Lin Xuan had long mastered this.
He controlled the light points, separating several auxiliary materials as impurities one by one.
Five days and five nights passed.
"Phew!"
Lin Xuan sighed in relief, then collapsed onto the ground without regard for his appearance. He had been lucky; the star sea's volume was only a little short of the critical threshold. If not for divine providence...
Looking at the ten-thousand-year-old jade in his palm, Lin Xuan, though exhausted, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
The other auxiliary materials were not as important, and he could afford to lose them. However, this ten-thousand-year-old jade was extremely precious; there was only a small piece of it in his possession, so he couldn't waste it.
After resting and regaining his strength, Lin Xuan carefully stored the purified materials.
He pondered for a moment before leaving the training room.
Moon's delicate face appeared. The girl was actually meditating outside his door, truly dedicated. Lin Xuan felt ashamed of himself.
"Master," Moon opened her eyes with a sweet smile: "Did you finish refining the artifact?"
"No, it failed." Lin Xuan shook his head.
"What should we do then?" Moon's expression turned worried as she consoled him: "Master, don't be sad."
"Haha, silly girl. Look at me; am I sad? Don't forget, I have a blue star sea. If the artifact fails, I can purify it and try again."
"Oh!" Moon remembered her master's extraordinary abilities and felt overjoyed.
"Alright, keep working hard to form your condensation sphere," Lin Xuan encouraged before bidding farewell to Moon and entering the spirit beast room.
Just as he opened the door, a ball rolled under his feet. Then, the ball slowly extended its fat, odd legs and large round eyes that took up a quarter of its face—this was the little creature hatched from the demon king's cave!
Thinking about this creature made Lin Xuan headache. When it hatched, he had gone through great trouble, almost discarding it as a dead egg. After much effort, the little guy finally emerged after absorbing some of his condensation period energy.
