lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī è rán ， bù guò suí jí ， jiù ruò yǒu suǒ sī de chén yín qǐ lái ， shēn chū yòu shǒu ， jiāng yāo jiān de líng shòu dài zhāi le xià lái 。
林轩脸上露出一丝愕然，不过随即，就若有所思的沉吟起来，伸出右手，将腰间的灵兽袋摘了下来。
Lin Xuan's face showed a moment of surprise, but soon he fell into deep contemplation. He extended his right hand and took off the spirit beast bag from around his waist.
bái guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè xiǎo dōng xī chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
白光一闪，一个小东西出现在了面前。
A flash of white light appeared before him, revealing a small creature about the size of a ball. The little guy was round and plump, with short and thick limbs covered in white fur, looking very cute.
xiǎo jiā huo yuē yǒu pí qiú dà xiǎo ， hún shēn yuán gǔ gǔ de ， sì zhī cū duǎn ， shēng mǎn le bái sè de róng máo ， kàn shàng qù shí fēn kě ài 。
小家伙约有皮球大小，浑身圆鼓鼓的，四肢粗短，生满了白色的绒毛，看上去十分可爱。
The little guy originally looked drowsy but became alert after landing on the ground. He extended his tongue to lick his lips, suddenly enveloped by a layer of faint white light. A miraculous thing happened; the spirit energy that had overflowed from Mo'er's body rushed towards this strange creature like it found an outlet and was absorbed into its body.
xiǎo jiā huo yuán běn shuì yǎn xīng sōng ， luò dì yǐ hòu ， sì chù chǒu le chǒu ， què biàn dé jīng shén qǐ lái ， shēn chū shé tou tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ jiǎo ， hún shēn shàng xià ， tū rán zhào shàng le yī céng méng méng de bái guāng ， qí miào de shì qíng shēng le ， nà xiē cóng yuè ér shēn tǐ lǐ wài yì chū lái de líng qì ， xiàng shì zhǎo dào le xuān xiè kǒu shì de ， quán bù xiàng zhe gǔ guài de xiǎo shòu fēng yōng ér qù ， bèi xī rù le shēn tǐ lǐ 。
小家伙原本睡眼惺忪，落地以后，四处瞅了瞅，却变得精神起来，伸出舌头舔了舔嘴角，浑身上下，突然罩上了一层蒙蒙的白光，奇妙的事情生了，那些从月儿身体里外溢出来的灵气，像是找到了宣泄口似的，全部像着古怪的小兽蜂拥而去，被吸入了身体里。
Lin Xuan felt extremely pleased.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ 。
林轩心中大喜。
This spirit beast indeed wasn't ordinary. Although he hadn't yet figured out what its special powers were, just being able to absorb spirit energy made it invaluable. The crucial point was that it had helped him immensely at this moment.
zhè líng shòu guǒ rán bù yī bān ， suī rán shàng méi yǒu nòng qīng chǔ yǒu hé shén tōng ， dàn jiù chōng zhe néng xī shōu líng qì zhè yī tiáo ， jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， guān jiàn shì cǐ shí cǐ kè ， kě suàn shì bāng le zì jǐ de dà máng le 。
这灵兽果然不一般，虽然尚没有弄清楚有何神通，但就冲着能吸收灵气这一条，就非同小可，关键是此时此刻，可算是帮了自己的大忙了。
Meanwhile, a large number of cultivators gathered around the nearby mountain. Earlier, silver snakes danced in the sky and lightning flashed through the air as spirit energy surged wildly. This celestial anomaly clearly wasn't a normal natural phenomenon but a sign that someone was about to form their condensation core.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， jiù zài zhè xiǎo shān de fù jìn ， jù jí le dà liàng xiū shì ， gāng cái tiān kōng zhōng yín shé luàn wǔ ， shǎn diàn chuān kōng ， líng qì fēng kuáng yǒng dòng ， zhè tiān dì yì zhào ， xiǎn rán bú shì zhèng cháng de zì rán xiǎng xiàng ， ér shì yǒu rén jiāng yào jié dān de qián zhào 。
与此同时，就在这小山的附近，聚集了大量修士，刚才天空中银蛇乱舞，闪电穿空，灵气疯狂涌动，这天地异兆，显然不是正常的自然想象，而是有人将要结丹的前兆。
The expressions on the cultivators' faces varied; they were all pondering something.
xiū shì men liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng gè bù xiāng tóng ， yě bù zhī zài sī liáng zhe shén me 。
修士们脸上的表情各不相同，也不知在思量着什么。
Although Ghost Luo City seemed relatively calm compared to other places, it was still turbulent with various factions vying for power…
yǔ qí tā dì fāng xiāng bǐ ， guǐ luó chéng suī rán yào xiāng duì píng jìng yī xiē ， dàn yě shì àn cháo xiōng yǒng ， gè dà shì lì hù xiāng qīng yà ……
与其他地方相比，鬼罗城虽然要相对平静一些，但也是暗潮汹涌，各大势力互相倾轧……
At the Condensation Core stage, these were high-ranking cultivators. If they were from an opposing faction, it would undoubtedly increase pressure on his side.
níng dān qī ， kě shì gāo jiē xiū shì ， rú guǒ shì dí duì zhèn yíng de jiā huo ， zì jǐ zhè biān ， wú yí yòu yào zēng jiā yī fèn yā lì 。
凝丹期，可是高阶修士，如果是敌对阵营的家伙，自己这边，无疑又要增加一份压力。
With malicious intentions, everyone considered their own benefits and began to take action...
zhòng rén xīn huái guǐ tāi ， sī kǎo zhe gè zì de lì yì ， yǐ jīng yǒu rén chǔn chǔn yù dòng le qǐ lái ……
众人心怀鬼胎，思考着各自的利益，已经有人蠢蠢欲动了起来……
However, before any of them could act, this celestial anomaly suddenly stopped abruptly.
rán ér hái bù děng tā men yǒu suǒ dòng zuò 。 nà tiān dì yì zhào tū rán gā rán ér zhǐ le 。
然而还不等他们有所动作。那天地异兆突然嘎然而止了。
The cultivators exchanged glances, each face filled with surprise and suspicion. The reason was simple; in such a short time, it couldn't possibly be the old ancestor's Six Pulse Golden Yang Skill reaching its critical point. If not for that, he would have gone to meet that little friend.
xiū shì men miàn miàn xiāng qù 。 měi yí gè rén dì liǎn shàng dōu xiě mǎn le jīng yí 。 yuán yīn wú tā 。 zhè me yī xiǎo huì er shí jiān 。 xiǎn rán bù kě néng shì jīn dān yǐ chéng 。 nà me jiù shèng xià le liǎng zhǒng kě néng 。
修士们面面相觑。每一个人地脸上都写满了惊疑。原因无他。这么一小会儿时间。显然不可能是金丹已成。那么就剩下了两种可能。
After saying this, Lin Xuan closed his eyes again and continued meditating.
yào me gēn běn jiù shì bèi bǎi le yī dào wū lóng 。 zì jǐ zhè xiē rén nòng cuò 。 bìng fēi yǒu xiū shì zài chōng jī níng dān zhī jìng le 。 zhì yú gāng cái dì tiān dì yì zhào 。 yě hěn hǎo jiě shì 。 xiū zhēn bǎi yì 。 bó dà jīng shēn 。 bù shǎo gōng fǎ 。 gèng shì guǐ yì yǐ jí 。 liàn xí dì shí hòu 。 tóng yàng kě néng yǐn qǐ tiān dì yì xiàng 。
要么根本就是被摆了一道乌龙。自己这些人弄错。并非有修士在冲击凝丹之境了。至于刚才地天地异兆。也很好解释。修真百艺。博大精深。不少功法。更是诡异以极。练习地时候。同样可能引起天地异象。
Lin Xuan didn't know that he had caught the attention of Red Old Master. At this moment, he carefully observed Mo'er's every move.
zhì yú lìng wài yī zhǒng kě néng 。 nà jiù shì què shí yǒu rén zài chōng jī níng dān 。 bù guò gāng gāng kāi shǐ 。 jiù xuān gào shī bài ……
至于另外一种可能。那就是确实有人在冲击凝丹。不过刚刚开始。就宣告失败……
Nurturing a round core was truly miraculous. However, Mo'er's injuries were just healed; forcibly forming her condensation core at this time might be either fortunate or unfortunate.
jù tǐ nǎ yī zhǒng 。 xiàn zài hái wú fǎ què dìng 。 dàn zhè bìng bú zhòng yào 。
具体哪一种。现在还无法确定。但这并不重要。
Worried thoughts made Lin Xuan lick his lips and feel slightly anxious. But as someone with extraordinary scheming skills, he quickly regained composure.
zhǐ yào bú shì chǎn shēng xīn dì níng dān xiū shì 。 nà duì xiàn zài guǐ luó chéng dì gé jú 。 shì qǐ bú dào yǐng xiǎng dì 。 jù jí zài huǒ shān fù jìn dì xiū shì 。 jiàn jiàn sàn qù 。
只要不是产生新地凝丹修士。那对现在鬼罗城地格局。是起不到影响地。聚集在火山附近地修士。渐渐散去。
Although she was a spirit soul body, Mo'er's process of forming the condensation core wasn't much different from his own. While Lin Xuan had good intentions to help, not knowing how her internal spirit energy flowed, he could only watch anxiously.
yǐ lín xuān de qiáng dà shén shí 。 zì rán néng gòu qīng xī de gǎn jué dào wài biān de biàn huà ， cā le cā é tóu shàng de hàn dī 。 sōng le yì kǒu qì 。
以林轩的强大神识。自然能够清晰的感觉到外边的变化，擦了擦额头上的汗滴。松了一口气。
A wrong move and everything would be lost; hasty actions might harm Mo'er instead of helping.
rán ér lín xuān bìng bù zhī dào dì shì ， cǐ shí zài guǐ luó chéng de zhōng xīn wèi zhì ， nà zuò jù dà dì jiàn zhù ， dǐng bù de mǒu zuò dòng fǔ ， yí gè mǎn tóu hóng de lǎo zhèng zài pán xī dǎ zuò 。
然而林轩并不知道地是，此时在鬼罗城的中心位置，那座巨大地建筑，顶部的某座洞府，一个满头红的老正在盘膝打坐。
Lin Xuan sat down beside her, focusing intently on protecting her.
cǐ rén chú le sè gǔ guài ， hái qì yǔ fēi fán ， hún shēn líng lì nèi liǎn ， tū rán ， tā huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi le yǎn jīng ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī gǔ guài de biǎo qíng ：“ yí ， jū rán yǒu yīn hún zài huǒ shān nà lǐ jié dān ？”
此人除了色古怪，还气宇非凡，浑身灵力内敛，突然，他缓缓睁开了眼睛，脸上露出一丝古怪的表情：“咦，居然有阴魂在火山那里结丹？”
For the first few days, things went smoothly. Mo'er seemed calm, even when she occasionally made some small mistakes, he could handle them.
“ gǎn zhèng dà guāng míng dì dào wǒ guǐ luó chéng lái ， xiǎng bì shì mǒu gè xiū shì de chǒng wù le ， kě chú le jí è mó zūn nà lǎo jiā huǒ ， méi yǒu tīng shuō hái yǒu rén yōng yǒu níng dān qī yǐ shàng de guǐ chǒng ， zhè dào yǒu diǎn yì si le 。” lǎo de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī gǎn xìng qù de shén sè 。
“敢正大光明地到我鬼罗城来，想必是某个修士的宠物了，可除了极恶魔尊那老家伙，没有听说还有人拥有凝丹期以上的鬼宠，这倒有点意思了。”老的脸上露出一丝感兴趣的神色。
One week passed.
cǐ lǎo bú shì bié rén ， zhèng shì nà wèi guǐ luó chéng de dà zhǎng lǎo ， yōu zhōu wàn nián yǐ lái ， dì yí gè yǐ sàn xiū shēn fèn jìn jiē dào yuán yīng qī de lǎo guài wù ， hóng lǎo zǔ 。
此老不是别人，正是那位鬼罗城的大长老，幽州万年以来，第一个以散修身份进阶到圆婴期的老怪物，红老祖。
Lin Xuan gradually put his mind at ease; with good资质, and the help of Nourishing Round Core, it looked like she would successfully form her condensation core.
suī rán lín xuān yǐ jīng shè xià chóng chóng jìn zhì ， rán ér yuán yīng qī xiū shì dì shén shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yī rán mán bù guò zhè lǎo bù sǐ dì jiā huo 。
虽然林轩已经设下重重禁制，然而圆婴期修士地神识非同小可，依然瞒不过这老不死地家伙。
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Lin Xuan's expression changed suddenly. He turned to look at Mo'er.
tā tái qǐ tóu ， wàng le wàng huǒ shān de fāng xiàng ， tàn le kǒu qì ：“ ruò fēi lǎo zǔ wǒ dì liù mài jīn yáng gōng zhèng hǎo dào le jǐn yào guān tóu ， hái zhēn xiǎng qù huì yī huì nà wèi xiǎo péng yǒu 。”
他抬起头，望了望火山的方向，叹了口气：“若非老祖我地六脉金阳功正好到了紧要关头，还真想去会一会那位小朋友。”
Mo'er's face alternated between red and white, and the spirit energy above her head danced wildly. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, clearly in great pain.
shuō wán ， yòu bì shàng le yǎn jīng ， jì xù dǎ zuò 。
说完，又闭上了眼睛，继续打坐。
Lin Xuan was alarmed and quickly released his divine sense to check the surrounding spirit energy: "Mo'er, what's wrong?"
lín xuān bìng bù zhī dào zì jǐ yǐn qǐ le hóng lǎo zǔ de guān zhù ， cǐ shí ， tā zhèng xiǎo xīn dì guān zhù zhe yuè ér de yī jǔ yī dòng 。
林轩并不知道自己引起了红老祖的关注，此时，他正小心地关注着月儿的一举一动。
"Master, my body's golden core has just formed but is now showing signs of collapse," Mo'er's voice sounded anxious as she seemed at a loss.
zhè yǎng yuán dān hái zhēn shì shén miào ， bù guò yuè ér shāng shì gāng hǎo ， cǐ shí cǐ kè qiáng xíng jié dān ， yě bù zhī dào shì fú shì huò 。
这养圆丹还真是神妙，不过月儿伤势刚好，此时此刻强行结丹，也不知道是福是祸。
"Don't panic, Mo'er." Lin Xuan was also sweating profusely. He knew that in such moments, one must remain calm: "First, move the spirit energy to your dantian and nourish the newly formed golden core."
suǒ wèi guān xīn zé luàn ， lín xuān shēn chū shé tou ， tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ jiǎo ， yě shāo shāo yě gǎn dào le yī sī huāng luàn ， bù guò tā bì jìng xīn jī fēi fán ， hěn kuài jiù chóng xīn zhèn dìng le xià lái 。
所谓关心则乱，林轩伸出舌头，舔了舔嘴角，也稍稍也感到了一丝慌乱，不过他毕竟心机非凡，很快就重新镇定了下来。
"Okay," the girl replied telepathically, then focused intently.
suī shì yīn hún zhī tǐ ， rán ér yuè ér jié dān de guò chéng yǔ dāng chū de zì jǐ ， yě méi yǒu shén me chā yì ， lín xuān suī rán yǒu xīn bāng máng ， dàn yóu yú bù zhī dào tā tǐ nèi líng lì de yùn xíng qíng kuàng ， yě zhǐ yǒu gān zháo jí 。
虽是阴魂之体，然而月儿结丹的过程与当初的自己，也没有什么差异，林轩虽然有心帮忙，但由于不知道她体内灵力的运行情况，也只有干着急。
Looking at Mo'er's delicate face, Lin Xuan sighed. In terms of talent, she was even better than a cultivator with a Sacred Spirit Root. However, as the saying goes, "Misfortune may be an actual blessing in disguise." Her outstanding talent made her progress incredibly fast, comparable to his own despite not ingesting countless spirit medicines.
yī zhe bù shèn ， mǎn pán jiē shū ， hú luàn chū shǒu duì yú yuè ér ， shuō bù dìng yǒu hài wú yì 。
一着不慎，满盘皆输，胡乱出手对于月儿，说不定有害无益。
While rapid advancement was good, it also caused instability in her heart and mind. Moreover, the Xuan Mo cultivation technique she practiced was a top-grade divine art but diverged from orthodox methods, pursuing speed at all costs.
lín xuān zài tā páng biān zuò xià ， jù jīng huì shén de kāi shǐ hù fǎ 。
林轩在她旁边坐下，聚精会神的开始护法。
With many hidden dangers within the cultivation technique, they had been dormant until now. But during this critical period of forming the condensation core, it made things much harder for her compared to orthodox cultivators.
qǐ chū de jǐ tiān ， yī qiè hái suàn shùn lì ， yuè ér xiǎn de hěn píng jìng ， jí shǐ ǒu rán chū xiē xiǎo chā cuò ， zì jǐ yě dōu néng gòu chǔ lǐ 。
起初的几天，一切还算顺利，月儿显得很平静，即使偶然出些小差错，自己也都能够处理。
No matter what, he couldn't allow Mo'er's newly formed golden core to collapse again; otherwise, even with Nourishing Round Core, she might not recover from the damage. Lin Xuan frowned deeply, his face showing hesitation but quickly replaced by determination.
jiù zhè yàng guò le yí gè xīng qī 。
就这样过了一个星期。
Mo'er wanting him to get through this crisis was wishful thinking. Ultimately, he had to help her.
lín xuān yě jiàn jiàn fàng xià le xīn shì ， yuè ér zī zhì bù cuò ， yǒu le yǎng yuán dān de bāng zhù ， kàn lái shùn lì jié dān méi yǒu wèn tí 。
林轩也渐渐放下了心事，月儿资质不错，有了养圆丹的帮助，看来顺利结丹没有问题。
Of course, if there were no other options, he wouldn't do it. After all, when a cultivator forms their condensation core, outsiders interfering could easily lead both of them into an irreversible situation.
gāng gāng xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān tū rán shén sè yī biàn ， zhuǎn guò le tóu lái 。
刚刚想到这里，林轩突然神色一变，转过了头来。
Fortunately, Lin Xuan also knew the Xuan Mo technique and shared the same origin as this girl. With their blood pact, they had similar intentions. As long as he was careful enough, it might work.
zhǐ jiàn yuè ér de liǎn shàng hóng bái jiāo tì ， tóu dǐng de líng qì gèng shì kuáng wǔ bù yǐ ， xiù méi jǐn zhòu ， míng xiǎn yī fù shí fēn tòng kǔ de biǎo qíng 。
只见月儿的脸上红白交替，头顶的灵气更是狂舞不已，秀眉紧皱，明显一副十分痛苦的表情。
No matter what, he would take a chance!
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī jīng ， lián máng fàng chū shén shí ， lüè lüè jiǎn chá le yī xià xiǎo yā tou shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de líng qì zhuàng kuàng ：“ yuè ér ， zěn me le ？”
林轩心中一惊，连忙放出神识，略略检查了一下小丫头身体周围的灵气状况：“月儿，怎么了？”
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, his body emitting black light that made him look strange. He opened his mouth and spat out a thick, dark mist like ink. Mo'er also opened her cherry lips, inhaling the mist into her body.
“ shào yé ， xiǎo bì tǐ nèi de jīn dān gāng gāng chéng xíng ， kě xiàn rú jīn ， yòu yǒu bēng kuì de qū shì 。” yuè ér de shēng yīn tòu zhe jiāo jí ， míng xiǎn yǐ yǒu xiē liù shén wú zhǔ 。
“少爷，小婢体内的金丹刚刚成形，可现如今，又有崩溃的趋势。”月儿的声音透着焦急，明显已有些六神无主。
Supported by Lin Xuan's magical power, the girl's complexion improved slightly. In Lin Xuan's divine sense, he heard her grateful words: "Thank you, Master."
“ yuè ér ， bié huāng 。” lín xuān tóng yàng mǎn tóu dà hán ， dàn tā zhī dào ， zhè shí hòu ， qiān wàn bù néng gòu luàn ：“ xiān jiāng líng qì yùn dào dān tián ， zī rùn gāng gāng chéng xíng de jīn dān 。”
“月儿，别慌。”林轩同样满头大汗，但他知道，这时候，千万不能够乱：“先将灵气运到丹田，滋润刚刚成形的金丹。”
"Don't be distracted; use this time to stabilize your realm."
“ hǎo ！” shào nǚ chuán yīn huí dá ， suí jí jiù jù jīng huì shén de nǔ lì qǐ lái 。
“好！”少女传音回答，随即就聚精会神的努力起来。
"Okay," Mo'er replied softly and then fell silent. She first merged the spirit energy Lin Xuan transmitted with her own, making them inseparable, before sending it to her dantian to nourish the newly formed but unstable golden core.
wàng zhe yuè ér de jiāo yán ， lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， lùn zī zhì ， zhè yā tou bǐ yōng yǒu shèng líng gēn de xiū shì hái yào yōu yì yī xiē ， rán ér sú huà shuō dé hǎo ， fú xī huò suǒ yī ， zhèng yīn wèi yuè ér de zī zhì tài chū zhòng 。 gù ér xiū liàn de sù dù kuài dé jīng rén ， yǔ dà bǎ fú shí líng yào de zì jǐ xiāng bǐ ， yě háo bù xùn sè 。
望着月儿的娇颜，林轩叹了口气，论资质，这丫头比拥有圣灵根的修士还要优异一些，然而俗话说得好，福兮祸所依，正因为月儿的资质太出众。故而修炼的速度快得惊人，与大把服食灵药的自己相比，也毫不逊色。
In theory, this process was simple, but in practice, it was extremely difficult.
jìng jiè tí shēng kuài shì hǎo shì ， rán ér zhè yàng yī lái 。 què yě zào chéng le dào xīn bù wěn ， hé kuàng tā suǒ xí liàn dì 《 xuán mó 》， suī rán shì guǐ dào de dǐng jiē shén tōng ， dàn yǔ zhèng dào xīn fǎ xiàng bǐ ， yě shǔ yú lìng pì xī jìng 。 yī wèi qiú kuài de nà zhǒng 。
境界提升快是好事，然而这样一来。却也造成了道心不稳，何况她所习练地《玄魔》，虽然是鬼道的顶阶神通，但与正道心法相比，也属于另辟蹊径。一味求快的那种。
This test was for both Mo'er and Lin Xuan.
gōng fǎ zhī zhōng ， běn jiù yǒu bù shǎo yǐn huàn 。 píng shí hái hǎo ， méi yǒu biǎo xiàn chū lái ， kě rú jīn níng dān de guān jiàn shí qī ， jiù bǐ zhèng dào xiū shì nán le shù bèi 。
功法之中，本就有不少隐患。平时还好，没有表现出来，可如今凝丹的关键时期，就比正道修士难了数倍。
Three days passed. Nothing changed inside the cave.
wú lùn rú hé 。 yě bù néng ràng yuè ér zài cì chéng xíng dì jīn dān bēng kuì ， fǒu zé tā suǒ shōu dào de shāng hài ， kǒng pà zài yǒu yǎng yuán dān ， yě bù yí dìng néng gòu zhì yù ， lín xuān de méi tóu shēn shēn zhòu qǐ ， tā de liǎn sè yǒu xiē yóu yù ， bù guò hěn kuài jiù bèi jiān yì suǒ dài tì 。
无论如何。也不能让月儿再次成形地金丹崩溃，否则她所收到的伤害，恐怕再有养圆丹，也不一定能够治愈，林轩的眉头深深皱起，他的脸色有些犹豫，不过很快就被坚毅所代替。
Half a month later, Mo'er's condition didn't seem to improve at all.
yuè ér xiǎng yào zì jǐ dù guò zhè cì wēi jī 。 duō bàn shì shē wàng ér yǐ 。 dǎo tóu lái ， hái shì dé zì jǐ bāng yī bǎ shǒu 。
月儿想要自己度过这次危机。多半是奢望而已。倒头来，还是得自己帮一把手。
Thirty days later, Mo'er's body gently trembled as countless spirit energies spread outwards from her center.
dāng rán 。 ruò fēi wàn bù dé yǐ ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎng zhè yàng zuò 。 yào zhī dào ， dāng xiū shì jié dān de shí hòu ， wài rén héng jiā gān yù ， jí yǒu kě néng jiāng liǎng rén dōu xiàn rù wàn jié bù fù dì jìng dì 。
当然。若非万不得已，林轩并不想这样做。要知道，当修士结丹的时候，外人横加干预，极有可能将两人都陷入万劫不复地境地。
The array formations Lin Xuan had set up began to emit sounds but couldn't stop the spirit energy from leaking. As celestial anomalies appeared again and seemed more severe than before, this time because Mo'er truly formed her golden core.
hǎo zài zì jǐ tóng yàng xué guò 《 xuán mó 》， yǔ zhè yā tou yì chū tóng yuán ， liǎng rén yòu qiān yǒu xuè qì ， xīn yì xiāng tóng ， zhǐ yào xiǎo xīn yì diǎn de huà ， huò xǔ méi yǒu wèn tí 。
好在自己同样学过《玄魔》，与这丫头艺出同源，两人又签有血契，心意相同，只要小心一点的话，或许没有问题。
The fuzzy, round creature blinked its eyes, stretched its thick and short limbs, opened its mouth wide as if stretching, then sniffed the air and suddenly became alert. The little guy belched, his body rapidly expanding to several times its original size, becoming a large spherical ball floating in mid-air.
bù guǎn ， dǔ le ！
不管，赌了！
Then it began spinning faster and faster until it formed a white vortex, drawing all the leaking spirit energy back into its body...
lín xuān pán xī zuò xià ， hún shēn hēi máng yī shǎn ， zhěng gè rén biàn dé guǐ yì qǐ lái 。
林轩盘膝坐下，浑身黑芒一闪，整个人变得诡异起来。
Half an hour later, Mo'er slowly opened her eyes. Lin Xuan stood up as if sensing something.
rán hòu tā zhāng kāi kǒu ， pēn chū yī gǔ rú mò bān nóng yù dì hēi wù ， yuè ér tóng yàng zhāng kāi yīng táo xiǎo kǒu ， jiāng wù qì xī rù dào dǔ zi lǐ 。
然后他张开口，喷出一股如墨般浓郁地黑雾，月儿同样张开樱桃小口，将雾气吸入到肚子里。
"Master!" Mo'er's face bloomed like a spring flower, her sweet smile forming from the corners of her mouth: "I succeeded."
dé dào lín xuān fǎ lì de zhī chí ， shào nǚ de liǎn sè hǎo kàn le xiē ， lín xuān de shén shí lǐ ， xiǎng qǐ le tā gǎn jī dì huà yǔ ：“ xiè xiè shào yé 。”
得到林轩法力的支持，少女的脸色好看了些，林轩的神识里，响起了她感激地话语：“谢谢少爷。”
"Indeed!" Lin Xuan was equally elated. With Mo'er's golden core fully formed, their combined strength had grown significantly. Even against late-stage condensation cores, they might have a chance to fight. And his chances were probably even better.
“ bié fēn xīn ， chèn zhe zhè ge shí jiān ， wěn gù jìng jiè 。”
“别分心，趁着这个时间，稳固境界。”
Mo'er didn't thank Lin Xuan; she saw everything he did for her. If it weren't for the initial blood pact, which was partly forced upon her, she would still be by his side without any binding.

“嗯。”月儿轻轻应了一声，然后就安静下来，先将林轩输入过来的灵力与自己本身的灵力同化，水乳交融，不分彼此，然后将此灵力运送到丹田，滋养已经成形，却又并不稳定的金丹。
"Ah, what is this..."
shuō qǐ lái ， zhè ge guò chéng shí fēn jiǎn dān ， rán ér zhēn yào zuò ， què fēi cháng jiān nán 。
说起来，这个过程十分简单，然而真要做，却非常艰难。
Suddenly, a voice startled Mo'er as she looked up to see Lin Xuan's surprised expression.
zhè jì shì duì yuè ér ， yě shì duì lín xuān de yī cì kǎo yàn 。
这既是对月儿，也是对林轩的一次考验。
Postscript: Just one chapter today; I'll try harder tomorrow.
Lin Xuan's face showed a moment of surprise, but soon he fell into deep contemplation. He extended his right hand and took off the spirit beast bag from around his waist.
A flash of white light appeared before him, revealing a small creature about the size of a ball. The little guy was round and plump, with short and thick limbs covered in white fur, looking very cute.
The little guy originally looked drowsy but became alert after landing on the ground. He extended his tongue to lick his lips, suddenly enveloped by a layer of faint white light. A miraculous thing happened; the spirit energy that had overflowed from Mo'er's body rushed towards this strange creature like it found an outlet and was absorbed into its body.
Lin Xuan felt extremely pleased.
This spirit beast indeed wasn't ordinary. Although he hadn't yet figured out what its special powers were, just being able to absorb spirit energy made it invaluable. The crucial point was that it had helped him immensely at this moment.
Meanwhile, a large number of cultivators gathered around the nearby mountain. Earlier, silver snakes danced in the sky and lightning flashed through the air as spirit energy surged wildly. This celestial anomaly clearly wasn't a normal natural phenomenon but a sign that someone was about to form their condensation core.
The expressions on the cultivators' faces varied; they were all pondering something.
Although Ghost Luo City seemed relatively calm compared to other places, it was still turbulent with various factions vying for power…
At the Condensation Core stage, these were high-ranking cultivators. If they were from an opposing faction, it would undoubtedly increase pressure on his side.
With malicious intentions, everyone considered their own benefits and began to take action...
However, before any of them could act, this celestial anomaly suddenly stopped abruptly.
The cultivators exchanged glances, each face filled with surprise and suspicion. The reason was simple; in such a short time, it couldn't possibly be the old ancestor's Six Pulse Golden Yang Skill reaching its critical point. If not for that, he would have gone to meet that little friend.
After saying this, Lin Xuan closed his eyes again and continued meditating.
Lin Xuan didn't know that he had caught the attention of Red Old Master. At this moment, he carefully observed Mo'er's every move.
Nurturing a round core was truly miraculous. However, Mo'er's injuries were just healed; forcibly forming her condensation core at this time might be either fortunate or unfortunate.
Worried thoughts made Lin Xuan lick his lips and feel slightly anxious. But as someone with extraordinary scheming skills, he quickly regained composure.
Although she was a spirit soul body, Mo'er's process of forming the condensation core wasn't much different from his own. While Lin Xuan had good intentions to help, not knowing how her internal spirit energy flowed, he could only watch anxiously.
A wrong move and everything would be lost; hasty actions might harm Mo'er instead of helping.
Lin Xuan sat down beside her, focusing intently on protecting her.
For the first few days, things went smoothly. Mo'er seemed calm, even when she occasionally made some small mistakes, he could handle them.
One week passed.
Lin Xuan gradually put his mind at ease; with good资质, and the help of Nourishing Round Core, it looked like she would successfully form her condensation core.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Lin Xuan's expression changed suddenly. He turned to look at Mo'er.
Mo'er's face alternated between red and white, and the spirit energy above her head danced wildly. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, clearly in great pain.
Lin Xuan was alarmed and quickly released his divine sense to check the surrounding spirit energy: "Mo'er, what's wrong?"
"Master, my body's golden core has just formed but is now showing signs of collapse," Mo'er's voice sounded anxious as she seemed at a loss.
"Don't panic, Mo'er." Lin Xuan was also sweating profusely. He knew that in such moments, one must remain calm: "First, move the spirit energy to your dantian and nourish the newly formed golden core."
"Okay," the girl replied telepathically, then focused intently.
Looking at Mo'er's delicate face, Lin Xuan sighed. In terms of talent, she was even better than a cultivator with a Sacred Spirit Root. However, as the saying goes, "Misfortune may be an actual blessing in disguise." Her outstanding talent made her progress incredibly fast, comparable to his own despite not ingesting countless spirit medicines.
While rapid advancement was good, it also caused instability in her heart and mind. Moreover, the Xuan Mo cultivation technique she practiced was a top-grade divine art but diverged from orthodox methods, pursuing speed at all costs.
With many hidden dangers within the cultivation technique, they had been dormant until now. But during this critical period of forming the condensation core, it made things much harder for her compared to orthodox cultivators.
No matter what, he couldn't allow Mo'er's newly formed golden core to collapse again; otherwise, even with Nourishing Round Core, she might not recover from the damage. Lin Xuan frowned deeply, his face showing hesitation but quickly replaced by determination.
Mo'er wanting him to get through this crisis was wishful thinking. Ultimately, he had to help her.
Of course, if there were no other options, he wouldn't do it. After all, when a cultivator forms their condensation core, outsiders interfering could easily lead both of them into an irreversible situation.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan also knew the Xuan Mo technique and shared the same origin as this girl. With their blood pact, they had similar intentions. As long as he was careful enough, it might work.
No matter what, he would take a chance!
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, his body emitting black light that made him look strange. He opened his mouth and spat out a thick, dark mist like ink. Mo'er also opened her cherry lips, inhaling the mist into her body.
Supported by Lin Xuan's magical power, the girl's complexion improved slightly. In Lin Xuan's divine sense, he heard her grateful words: "Thank you, Master."
"Don't be distracted; use this time to stabilize your realm."
"Okay," Mo'er replied softly and then fell silent. She first merged the spirit energy Lin Xuan transmitted with her own, making them inseparable, before sending it to her dantian to nourish the newly formed but unstable golden core.
In theory, this process was simple, but in practice, it was extremely difficult.
This test was for both Mo'er and Lin Xuan.
Three days passed. Nothing changed inside the cave.
Half a month later, Mo'er's condition didn't seem to improve at all.
Thirty days later, Mo'er's body gently trembled as countless spirit energies spread outwards from her center.
The array formations Lin Xuan had set up began to emit sounds but couldn't stop the spirit energy from leaking. As celestial anomalies appeared again and seemed more severe than before, this time because Mo'er truly formed her golden core.
The fuzzy, round creature blinked its eyes, stretched its thick and short limbs, opened its mouth wide as if stretching, then sniffed the air and suddenly became alert. The little guy belched, his body rapidly expanding to several times its original size, becoming a large spherical ball floating in mid-air.
Then it began spinning faster and faster until it formed a white vortex, drawing all the leaking spirit energy back into its body...
Half an hour later, Mo'er slowly opened her eyes. Lin Xuan stood up as if sensing something.
"Master!" Mo'er's face bloomed like a spring flower, her sweet smile forming from the corners of her mouth: "I succeeded."
"Indeed!" Lin Xuan was equally elated. With Mo'er's golden core fully formed, their combined strength had grown significantly. Even against late-stage condensation cores, they might have a chance to fight. And his chances were probably even better.
Mo'er didn't thank Lin Xuan; she saw everything he did for her. If it weren't for the initial blood pact, which was partly forced upon her, she would still be by his side without any binding.
"Ah, what is this..."
Suddenly, a voice startled Mo'er as she looked up to see Lin Xuan's surprised expression.
