xiù páo yī fú ， nà hú lú líng guāng dà zuò ， piàn kè hòu ， yī lǚ hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì fú xiàn ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，那葫芦灵光大做，片刻后，一缕混沌太yīn之气浮现而出。
Sleeve flapped, the葫芦 emitted a bright light. After a moment, a thread of Primordial Yin Qi appeared.
lín xuān zé chóng fù qǐ le gāng cái de dòng zuò 。
林轩则重复起了刚才的动作。
Lin Xuan repeated his previous actions.
zhè yī cì ， huàn líng tiān huǒ suǒ biàn huà chū lái de zhēn líng què bǐ jiào qí tè 。
这一次，幻灵天火所变化出来的真灵却比较奇特。
This time, the true spirit that transformed from the Illusory Heavenly Fire was more peculiar.
jīn yuè zhēn chán ！
金玥真蟾！
True Spirit Golden Moon Toad!
hái zhēn yǒu qīng wā yì bān de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā yī zhāng kǒu ， kōng jiān yī zhèn mó hú ， cháng cháng de shé tou dàn shè ér chū ， yī juàn yī guǒ ， jiù fǎng rú shì sú de qīng wā bǔ zhuō kūn chóng ， jiāng nà lǚ hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì tūn luò rù dù 。
还真有青蛙一般的叫声传入耳朵，随后只见它一张口，空间一阵模糊，长长的舌头弹shè而出，一卷一裹，就仿如世俗的青蛙捕捉昆虫，将那缕混沌太yīn之气吞落入肚。
Sure enough, there was a frog-like croak. It opened its mouth and space became hazy as its long tongue shot out, curling around to resemble a common frog catching insects. The thread of Primordial Yin Qi was swallowed whole.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， yī dào dào fǎ jué mì rú yǔ diǎn bān de dǎ chū 。
林轩双手挥舞，一道道法诀密如雨点般的打出。
Lin Xuan waved his hands, casting countless spells like raindrops.
jù tǐ de guò chéng bù yòng lèi shù ， shù rì hòu ， lín xuān jiāng zhè lǚ hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì yě liàn huà diào le 。
具体的过程不用累述，数rì后，林轩将这缕混沌太yīn之气也炼化掉了。
The specific process didn't need much elaboration. After several days, Lin Xuan refined that thread of Primordial Yin Qi as well.
suí hòu lín xuān shāo shì xiū xī ， dài jīng lì huī fù ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yòu yī lǚ xì ruò fā sī de hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， bèi tā cóng nà shén mì de hú lú zhōng chōu qǔ chū lái le 。
随后林轩稍事休息，待jīng力恢复，一道法诀打出，灵光闪烁，又一缕细若发丝的混沌太yīn之气，被他从那神秘的葫芦中抽取出来了。
After resting briefly for his spirit energy to recover, he cast another spell and the light flickered. A thin strand of Primordial Yin Qi was drawn from the mysterious葫芦.
shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， huàn líng tiān huǒ bǐ gāng gāng gèng jiā de yào mù 。
手腕翻转，幻灵天火比刚刚更加的耀目。
Wrist flipped, the Illusory Heavenly Fire shone even more brightly...
jiù zhè yàng ， lín xuān zhōu ér fù shǐ ， chóng fù gāng gāng de dòng zuò ， yī lǚ yòu yī lǚ de jiāng hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， bèi liàn huà jìn huàn líng tiān huǒ 。
就这样，林轩周而复始，重复刚刚的动作，一缕又一缕的将混沌太yīn之气，被炼化进幻灵天火。
Thus, Lin Xuan repeated these actions over and over, refining one thread after another of Primordial Yin Qi into the Illusory Heavenly Fire.
bù zhī bù jué ， jiù shì guò qù le shù yuè de gōng fu 。
不知不觉，就是过去了数月的功夫。
Before he knew it, several months had passed.
zhè tiān ， lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng yǎn ， tòu guò hú lú ， lǐ miàn de hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， yǐ bèi liàn huà diào yī xiǎo bàn le 。
这天，林轩睁开双眼，透过葫芦，里面的混沌太yīn之气，已被炼化掉一小半了。
One day, Lin Xuan opened his eyes. Through the葫芦, half of the Primordial Yin Qi had been refined away.
shèng yú de yí bàn ， zhǐ yǒu mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de yì diǎn 。
剩余的一半，只有拇指大小的一点。
The remaining half was only as big as a thumb.
ér zhè shù yuè de gōng fu ， zhōu ér fù shǐ de bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo xiè dài zhī chù ， nà yě zhe shí xīn kǔ ， bù guò huàn líng tiān huǒ què yīn cǐ dé dào le mò dà de hǎo chù 。
而这数月的功夫，周而复始的不敢有分毫懈怠之处，那也着实辛苦，不过幻灵天火却因此得到了莫大的好处。
Over these few months, without any slack in his efforts, this indeed was quite tiring. However, the Illusory Heavenly Fire gained immense benefits from it.
lǐ miàn de líng lì běn yuán ， rú jīn yǐ shì ròu yǎn kě jiàn ， zài nà wǔ sè liú lí de guāng yùn zhōng ， duō chū le yī xiē yín sè de guāng diǎn 。
里面的灵力本源，如今已是肉眼可见，在那五sè琉璃的光晕中，多出了一些银sè的光点。
The source of spirit energy inside was now visible to the naked eye, with some silver light points appearing within the five-colored glassy glow.
dāng rán ， yī jiù hěn dàn ， hěn kuài jiù yǐn méi zài nà liú lí de líng guāng lǐ miàn 。
当然，依旧很淡，很快就隐没在那琉璃的灵光里面。
Of course, they were still very faint and quickly disappeared into the glassy spiritual light.
bù guò wēi lì ， zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng què tí shēng le yí bèi bù zhǐ 。
不过威力，在原有的基础上却提升了一倍不止。
Nevertheless, its power had increased by more than double based on the original foundation.
jí biàn zhī dào hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér zhè yàng fēng kuáng de tí shēng sù dù ， hái shì ràng lín xuān dōu dà wèi jīng è 。
即便知道混沌太yīn之气非同小可，然而这样疯狂的提升速度，还是让林轩都大为惊愕。
Even knowing that Primordial Yin Qi was no ordinary substance, such a rapid increase still left Lin Xuan in shock.
bù guò yà yì zhī hòu què shì huān xǐ 。
不过讶异之后却是欢喜。
But after the initial surprise came joy.
zhè líng huǒ kě shì zì jǐ yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù zhī yī 。
这灵火可是自己压箱底的秘术之一。
This spirit fire was one of his secret techniques. The greater the power, the better he would be pleased, even if it increased by ten times or more.
wēi lì zì rán shì yuè dà huān xǐ ， jiù suàn tí shēng gè shí bèi zì jǐ yě bú huì xián duō dì 。
威力自然是越大欢喜，就算提升个十倍自己也不会嫌多地。
Moreover, fusing Primordial Yin Qi had not only enhanced its power but also seemed to elevate its nature on a fundamental level.
ér qiě róng hé le hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì 。 tí shēng de hái bù jǐn jǐn shì wēi lì ， jiù suàn shì shǔ xìng， zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng ， sì hū yě shēng huá le yī xiē 。
而且融合了混沌太yīn之气。提升的还不仅仅是威力，就算是属xìng，在原有的基础上，似乎也升华了一些。
The specific changes were still unclear to Lin Xuan and needed further contemplation later.
dāng rán ， jù tǐ de gǎi biàn rú hé ， lín xuān xiàn zài hái bú shì hěn qīng chǔ 。 xū yào shì hòu zài qù màn màn tǐ wù 。
当然，具体的改变如何，林轩现在还不是很清楚。需要事后再去慢慢体悟。
Next, he needed to continue his efforts, working hard and diligently until the remaining Primordial Yin Qi was refined as well.
jiē xià lái 。 hái xū yào jì xù xīn kǔ ， zài jiē zài lì ， jiāng shèng yú de hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， yě liàn huà le zài shuō 。
接下来。还需要继续辛苦，再接再厉，将剩余的混沌太yīn之气，也炼化了再说。
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan had a clear plan for what to do next.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， jiē xià lái gāi zuò shén me ， lín xuān yǐ yǒu le yí gè qīng xī de sī lù 。
脑海中念头转过，接下来该做什么，林轩已有了一个清晰的思路。
Sleeve flapped again, another spell cast.
xiù páo yī fú ， yòu shì yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。
袖袍一拂，又是一道法诀打出。
The葫芦 flashed. However, unexpectedly, no Primordial Yin Qi emerged this time.
nà hú lú yī shǎn ， rán ér chū rén yì liào de shì ， zhè yī cì 。 què méi yǒu hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì cóng lǐ miàn piāo chū lái 。
那葫芦一闪，然而出人意料的是，这一次。却没有混沌太yīn之气从里面飘出来。
"What's going on?"
“ zěn me huí shì ？”
“怎么回事？”
Could it be that the spell I just cast was wrong? No way.
nán dào zì jǐ gāng gāng dǎ chū de nà dào fǎ jué yǒu cuò ， bù kě néng a 。
难道自己刚刚打出的那道法诀有错，不可能啊。
With my strength and cautious nature, how could I possibly make such a basic mistake?
yǐ zì jǐ de shí lì ， yǐ jí jǐn shèn de xìng gé ， zěn me kě néng fàn rú cǐ dī jiē de cuò wù 。
以自己的实力，以及谨慎的xìng格，怎么可能犯如此低阶的错误。
In other words, there must be some other reason.
huàn jù huà shuō ， yí dìng shì bié yǒu yuán gù 。
换句话说，一定是别有缘故。
However, Lin Xuan had no time to delve deeper into this at the moment.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yǐ jīng méi yǒu shí jiān qù shēn jiū le 。
然而此时此刻，林轩已经没有时间去深究了。
As his previous spell did not work as intended, an ominous feeling arose in his heart.
jiù zài zhè yī dào fǎ jué méi yǒu rú yì de tóng shí 。 bù hǎo de yù gǎn yǐ zài tā de xīn jiān fú xiàn ér chū 。
就在这一道法诀没有如意的同时。不好的预感已在他的心间浮现而出。
It seemed to confirm his suspicions. The葫芦 suddenly began vibrating rapidly, with a crack appearing on its surface.
fǎng fú yào yìn zhèng zhè zhǒng cāi cè ， nà hú lú tū rán yǐ jí kuài de sù dù zhèn dòng qǐ lái ， yī sī liè wén ， fú xiàn zài le tā de biǎo miàn 。
仿佛要印证这种猜测，那葫芦突然以极快的速度震动起来，一丝裂纹，浮现在了它的表面。
"Bad luck!"
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
Lin Xuan's expression darkened. This葫芦 was used to store Primordial Yin Qi. A crack on the surface meant only one thing—disaster.
lín xuān bó rán biàn sè， zhè hú lú nǎi shì yòng lái shèng fàng hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì de bǎo wù ， biǎo miàn chū xiàn liè wén ， nà yì wèi zhe shén me 。 zì rán shì yì qīng èr chǔ 。
林轩勃然变sè，这葫芦乃是用来盛放混沌太yīn之气的宝物，表面出现裂纹，那意味着什么。自然是一清二楚。
Lin Xuan's face turned gloomy, but he didn't hesitate. He flipped his left hand and a golden talisman appeared in his palm.
lín xuān de liǎn sèyīn mái yǐ jí ， rán ér dòng zuò què yì diǎn yě bù màn ， zuǒ shǒu yī fān 。
林轩的脸sèyīn霾以极，然而动作却一点也不慢，左手一翻。
Without delay, Lin Xuan forcefully slapped it towards the葫芦.
yī zhāng jīn sè de fú lù yǐ zài zhǐ zhǎng jiān fú xiàn 。
一张金sè的符箓已在指掌间浮现。
Lin Xuan's reaction was swift, but still too late.
suí hòu lín xuān yì diǎn yě bù chí yí ， hěn hěn jiāng cǐ wù xiàng zhe hú lú pāi le guò qù 。
随后林轩一点也不迟疑，狠狠将此物像着葫芦拍了过去。
In an instant, the web-like cracks covered the entire surface of the葫芦.
lín xuān de fǎn yìng bù kě wèi bù xùn sù 。 rán ér yī jiù wǎn le 。
林轩的反应不可谓不迅速。然而依旧晚了。
The light from this treasure dimmed significantly. The seemingly ordinary golden葫芦 turned into a puff of gray smoke.
jǐn jǐn xū yú de gōng fu ， nà zhī zhū wǎng yì bān de liè wén ， jiù yǐ jīng pá mǎn le hú lú de biǎo miàn 。
仅仅须臾的功夫，那蜘蛛网一般的裂纹，就已经爬满了葫芦的表面。
Puff...
cǐ bǎo de líng guāng ， yǐ àn dàn yǐ jí ， suí hòu nà kàn shì bù fán de jīn sè hú lú ， jū rán huà wèi le huī yān 。
此宝的灵光，已黯淡以极，随后那看似不凡的金sè葫芦，居然化为了灰烟。
A dull sound echoed as the葫芦 shattered into countless fragments. The thumb-sized Primordial Yin Qi emerged and transformed into a ghost face.
pū ……
噗……
Not particularly fierce, but lifelike to an extreme.
yǒu xiē chén mèn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hú lú huà wèi le wú shù suì piàn ， nà mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì yóu lǐ miàn chōng le chū lái 。
有些沉闷的声音传入耳朵，葫芦化为了无数碎片，那拇指大小的混沌太yīn之气由里面冲了出来。
Lin Xuan's expression changed.
suí hòu jū rán biàn huàn chéng le yī zhāng guǐ liǎn 。
随后居然变幻成了一张鬼脸。
How could this be? Could that tiny Primordial Yin Qi actually awaken its spirit in front of his eyes?
tán bù shàng duō me zhēng níng xiōng è ， rán ér què shì xǔ xǔ rú shēng dào le jí diǎn 。
谈不上多么狰狞凶恶，然而却是栩栩如生到了极点。
Even with his extensive experience, Lin Xuan was still greatly shocked.
lín xuān biǎo qíng yī biàn 。
林轩表情一变。
The ghost face's eyes glinted with malice as it opened its mouth and released a yin wind.
zěn me kě néng ， nán dào zhè yī tuán xiǎo xiǎo de hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， jū rán zài zì jǐ de yǎn pí dǐ xià ， jiāng líng zhì kāi qǐ 。
怎么可能，难道这一团小小的混沌太yīn之气，居然在自己的眼皮底下，将灵智开启。
Lin Xuan did not hesitate. Primordial Yin Qi was the essence of nature itself; this yin wind must be extremely cold.
ráo shì lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， cǐ shí yě shì dà wèi jīng è 。
饶是林轩见识广博，此时也是大为惊愕。
Lin Xuan formed a spell with his single hand, pointing forward with one finger.
nà guǐ liǎn de yǎn zhōng ， què shì xiōng guāng bì lù ， zhāng kǒu yī tǔ ， yī tuán yīn fēng hū xiào ér chū 。
那鬼脸的眼中，却是凶光毕露，张口一吐，一团yīn风呼啸而出。
Puff...
lín xuān bù gǎn dài màn ， hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， nǎi shì tiān dì běn yuán ， tā tǔ chū lái de zhè tuán yīn fēng ， bì rán shì zhì yīn zhì hán zhī wù 。
林轩不敢怠慢，混沌太yīn之气，乃是天地本源，它吐出来的这团yīn风，必然是至yīn至寒之物。
A flame appeared at his fingertip, but it was not the Illusory Heavenly Fire. It was the pure yang infant fire he had cultivated for thousands of years.
lín xuān dān shǒu qiā jué ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
林轩单手掐诀，一指向前点出。
The five elements interacted; since the opponent was an extremely yin entity, Lin Xuan could only use pure yang infant fire to counteract it.
pū ……
噗……
However, upon contact, something unbelievable happened—the white flame was frozen.
zhǐ jiān zhī shàng ， huǒ guāng yì qǐ 。
指尖之上，火光一起。
Lin Xuan was greatly surprised. He already expected this to be no ordinary matter, but its actual power far exceeded his expectations.
nà huǒ yàn zuò zhì bái zhī sè， zì rán bìng fēi huàn líng tiān huǒ ， ér shì lín xuān xiū liàn le shù qiān nián de chún yáng yīng huǒ 。
那火焰做炙白之sè，自然并非幻灵天火，而是林轩修炼了数千年的纯阳婴火。
Damn!
wǔ xíng xiāng shēng xiāng kè ， duì fāng jì rán shì tiān dì jiān de zhì yīn zhī wù ， lín xuān yě jiù zhǐ néng yòng chún yáng yīng huǒ yǔ qí xiāng duì kàng le 。
五行相生相克，对方既然是天地间的至yīn之物，林轩也就只能用纯阳婴火与其相对抗了。
It's too late now.
rán ér pǔ yī jiē chù ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le ， nà zhì bái sè de huǒ yàn jū rán bèi dòng zhù 。
然而浦一接触，不可思议的一幕发生了，那炙白sè的火焰居然被冻住。
And the yin wind had already approached him. A single mistake could mean disaster. If Lin Xuan were still a spirit realm cultivator, he might have fallen into the opponent's trap under such circumstances.
lín xuān dà wèi jīng è ， zì jǐ yǐ jīng liào dào duì fāng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， méi xiǎng dào zhēn biǎo xiàn chū lái de wēi lì ， què hái yào yuǎn shèng guò zì jǐ de yù jì xǔ duō 。
林轩大为惊愕，自己已经料到对方非同小可，没想到真表现出来的威力，却还要远胜过自己的预计许多。
But since he had advanced, Lin Xuan naturally had a plan.
kě wù ！
可恶！
Seeing that the yin wind was only a few feet away, Lin Xuan raised his right hand and extended his index finger, drawing it across the void to one side.
zhēn shì tài shī cè le 。
真是太失策了。
Using his finger as a sword, without any fire aura, ripples appeared in the air. A crack several feet long appeared before his eyes.
ér zhè shāo yī dān gē ， nà yīn fēng yǐ guā dào le zì jǐ de miàn qián 。
而这稍一耽搁，那yīn风已刮到了自己的面前。
Lin Xuan lowered his head and entered through this crack.
yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū ， rú guǒ lín xuān hái zhǐ shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， yí gè bù chá ， shuō bù dìng hái zhēn huì luò rù duì fāng de suàn jì 。
一着不慎满盘皆输，如果林轩还只是分神期修仙者，这种情况下，一个不察，说不定还真会落入对方的算计。
In the next moment, the yin wind swept past, barely missing him. Lin Xuan's evasive action was truly divine.
rán ér jì rán yǐ jīng jìn jí ， lín xuān zì rán shì yǒu yìng fù de zhǔ yì 。
然而既然已经晋级，林轩自然是有应付的主意。
The ghost face was taken aback by how fast Lin Xuan reacted.
yǎn jiàn nà yīn fēng jù lí zì jǐ yǐ bù guò shù chǐ ， lín xuān yòu shǒu yī tái ， shēn chū shí zhǐ ， cháo zhe cè miàn de xū kōng huà le guò qù 。
眼见那yīn风距离自己已不过数尺，林轩右手一抬，伸出食指，朝着侧面的虚空划了过去。
Originally intending to possess it, but this opportunity slipped away.
yǐ zhǐ zuò jiàn ， bù dài fēn háo huǒ qì ， rán ér xū kōng què fàn qǐ diǎn diǎn lián yī ， yí bàn zhàng lái zhǎng de liè fèng ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
以指做剑，不带分毫火气，然而虚空却泛起点点涟漪，一半丈来长的裂缝，出现在了视线里。
Sizzle...
lín xuān tóu yī dī ， jiù zuān le jìn qù 。
林轩头一低，就钻了进去。
Taking advantage of its distraction, a spatial fluctuation occurred. Lin Xuan appeared behind the ghost face.
xià yī kè ，yīn fēng juǎn guò ， què chā zhī háo lí ， lín xuān duǒ bì de dòng zuò ， kān chēng shì shén hū qí jì 。
下一刻，yīn风卷过，却差之毫厘，林轩躲避的动作，堪称是神乎其技。
Raising his hands, black lightning flashed.
nà guǐ liǎn yě shì yī dāi ， lín xuān fǎn yìng zhī kuài ， ràng tā dà gǎn yì wài 。
那鬼脸也是一呆，林轩反应之快，让它大感意外。
Illusory Yin Thunder!
yuán běn hái xiǎng yào duó shě ， rán ér zhè yī cì de jī huì ， què méi néng zhuā zhù 。
原本还想要夺舍，然而这一次的机会，却没能抓住。
This was a secret technique from the Arhat King's era. Although Lin Xuan's version lacked power, it could at least temporarily trap this ghost face.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
Then, sharp light shone as the Nine Palaces Instant Sword Fish emerged and slashed down like lightning.
chèn zhe tā fā lèng de yī kè ， què kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， lín xuān zài tā shēn hòu xiǎn xiàn ér chū 。
趁着它发愣的一刻，却空间波动骤起，林轩在它身后显现而出。
Although the Primordial Yin Qi had become an intelligent entity, its combat experience was severely lacking.
liǎng shǒu yī yáng ， jiù shì mò hēi sè de diàn guāng 。
两手一扬，就是墨黑sè的电光。
It reacted too slowly and was already in pieces.
huàn yīn shén léi ！
幻yīn神雷！
However, the matter wasn't over. They gathered together, seemingly trying to recombine.
Sleeve flapped, the葫芦 emitted a bright light. After a moment, a thread of Primordial Yin Qi appeared.
Lin Xuan repeated his previous actions.
This time, the true spirit that transformed from the Illusory Heavenly Fire was more peculiar.
True Spirit Golden Moon Toad!
"Kwa!"
Sure enough, there was a frog-like croak. It opened its mouth and space became hazy as its long tongue shot out, curling around to resemble a common frog catching insects. The thread of Primordial Yin Qi was swallowed whole.
Lin Xuan waved his hands, casting countless spells like raindrops.
The specific process didn't need much elaboration. After several days, Lin Xuan refined that thread of Primordial Yin Qi as well.
After resting briefly for his spirit energy to recover, he cast another spell and the light flickered. A thin strand of Primordial Yin Qi was drawn from the mysterious葫芦.
Wrist flipped, the Illusory Heavenly Fire shone even more brightly...
...
Thus, Lin Xuan repeated these actions over and over, refining one thread after another of Primordial Yin Qi into the Illusory Heavenly Fire.
Before he knew it, several months had passed.
One day, Lin Xuan opened his eyes. Through the葫芦, half of the Primordial Yin Qi had been refined away.
The remaining half was only as big as a thumb.
Over these few months, without any slack in his efforts, this indeed was quite tiring. However, the Illusory Heavenly Fire gained immense benefits from it.
The source of spirit energy inside was now visible to the naked eye, with some silver light points appearing within the five-colored glassy glow.
Of course, they were still very faint and quickly disappeared into the glassy spiritual light.
Nevertheless, its power had increased by more than double based on the original foundation.
Even knowing that Primordial Yin Qi was no ordinary substance, such a rapid increase still left Lin Xuan in shock.
But after the initial surprise came joy.
This spirit fire was one of his secret techniques. The greater the power, the better he would be pleased, even if it increased by ten times or more.
Moreover, fusing Primordial Yin Qi had not only enhanced its power but also seemed to elevate its nature on a fundamental level.
The specific changes were still unclear to Lin Xuan and needed further contemplation later.
Next, he needed to continue his efforts, working hard and diligently until the remaining Primordial Yin Qi was refined as well.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan had a clear plan for what to do next.
Sleeve flapped again, another spell cast.
The葫芦 flashed. However, unexpectedly, no Primordial Yin Qi emerged this time.
"What's going on?"
Could it be that the spell I just cast was wrong? No way.
With my strength and cautious nature, how could I possibly make such a basic mistake?
In other words, there must be some other reason.
