..bsp; lín xuān bì mù dǎ zuò ， hěn kuài ， yī tiān yī yè de shí jiān jiù guò qù le 。
..bsp; 林轩闭目打坐，很快，一天一夜的时间就过去了。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and sat in meditation. Soon, a day and night passed.
jīng guò zhè yī duàn shí jiān de xiū xī ， tā de jīng qì shén yǐ huī fù dào le diān fēng 。
经过这一段时间的休息，他的jīng气神已恢复到了巅峰。
After this period of rest, his spirit had recovered to its peak.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， dà duī cái liào zài shēn qián fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，大堆材料在身前浮现而出。
With a wave of his sleeve, a pile of materials appeared before him.
huò jīn guāng shǎn shǎn ， huò fú wén pēn bó ， huò bèi wǔ yán liù sè de líng guāng bāo guǒ ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
或金光闪闪，或符文喷薄，或被五颜六sè的灵光包裹，一看就不是凡物。
Some shone with golden light, others emittedrune, or were enveloped by colorful spiritual lights—clearly not ordinary objects.
“ bǔ tiān zhī ， tiān yuán guǒ ， líng luó yù fú ……”
“补天芝，天元果，绫罗玉符……”
"Supplement Heaven Herb, Celestial Essence Fruit, Silk Robe Jade Talisman..."
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩喃喃自语的声音传入耳朵。
Lin Xuan's murmured words reached my ears.
zhè xiē bǎo bèi ， shuō xī shì qí zhēn yì bù wèi guò ， bié shuō jiāng shí yú zhǒng còu zú ， zhèng cháng qíng kuàng xià ， xiǎng yào dé dào qí zhōng zhī yī ， dōu yǒu mò dà de nán dù 。
这些宝贝，说稀世奇珍亦不为过，别说将十余种凑足，正常情况下，想要得到其中之一，都有莫大的难度。
These treasures could be considered rare wonders. It was no easy task to gather even a dozen of them; for most cultivators, obtaining just one would be extremely difficult.
yòng tā men zuò yuán liào ， kě yǐ jiāng tài xū miào líng dān liàn chū 。
用它们做原料，可以将太虚妙灵丹炼出。
Using these as ingredients, he could refine the Great Void Marvelous Spirit Pill.
bù guò ruò shì pèi shàng qí tā yī xiē bǎo wù ， wán quán yǒu kě néng liàn zhì chū gèng jiā zhēn xī de xiān jiā zhī wù 。
不过若是配上其他一些宝物，完全有可能炼制出更加珍稀的仙家之物。
However, if combined with other precious items, it might produce even rarer divine treasures.
zì jǐ jì yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi ， kě yǐ jiāng duì fāng tí gōng de fèi dān tí chún chū lái ， yě jiù wú xū yòng zhè xiē cái liào jì liàn 。..
自己既有蓝sè星海，可以将对方提供的废丹提纯出来，也就无需用这些材料祭炼。..
With his Blue Star Sea, he could purify the waste pills provided by others. Thus, there was no need to use these materials for refining...
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào yàn lì de qīng xiá fú xiàn ér chū ， zài dì biǎo juǎn guò ， zhè yī dà duī zhēn guì de tiān cái dì bǎo jiù bú jiàn le 。
林轩脑海中念头转过，袖袍一拂，一道艳丽的青霞浮现而出，在地表卷过，这一大堆珍贵的天材地宝就不见了。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as he waved his sleeve again. A vivid green mist appeared and swept across the ground, vanishing all the precious celestial and terrestrial treasures.
qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yí gè huǒ hóng sè de hú lú chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
取而代之的是一个火红sè的葫芦出现在视线里。
In its place, a redgourdmaterialized in his sight—another treasure from the Celestial Sound Fairy.
zhè yě shì tiān yīn xiān zi sòng yǔ zì jǐ de bǎo wù 。
这也是天音仙子送与自己的宝物。
Inside was the waste pills from the failed refinement of the Great Void Marvelous Spirit Pill.
lǐ miàn suǒ zhuāng zài de ， jiù shì tài xū miào líng dān liàn zhì shī bài de fèi dān le 。
里面所装载的，就是太虚妙灵丹炼制失败的废丹了。
Waste pills were useless to ordinary cultivators due to impurities. But to Lin Xuan's eyes, they held value.
fèi dān ， yóu yú zá zhì dì yuán gù ， duì yú yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yòng tú 。
废丹，由于杂质的缘故，对于一般的修仙者，根本就没有用途。
The Blue Star Sea could purify these waste pills.
rán ér luò zài zì jǐ de yǎn zhōng ， què shì bù tóng de 。
然而落在自己的眼中，却是不同的。
Of course, not without limitations; higher-grade waste pills required more effort to refine.
lán sè xīng hǎi ， kě yǐ tí chún fèi dān 。
蓝sè星海，可以提纯废丹。
Previously, he would have been hesitant about the Great Void Marvelous Spirit Pill. However, times had changed, and he was now a mid-stage cultivator who had passed through tribulation.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì fēn háo xiàn zhì yě wú ， yuè shì gāo pǐn zhì dì fèi dān ， jiāng qí tí chún yuè yǒu nán dù 。
当然，也不是分毫限制也无，越是高品质的废丹，将其提纯越有难度。
The Blue Star Sea had also advanced, with all light points turning into brilliant silver.
ruò shì huàn zuò yǐ qián ， tài xū miào líng dān lín xuān shì bù gǎn shē wàng de 。
若是换做以前，太虚妙灵丹林轩是不敢奢望的。
Thus, the success rate of purification increased from its original level.
rán ér shì yì shí yí ， rú jīn lín xuān yǐ shì dù jié zhōng qī 。
然而事易时移，如今林轩已是渡劫中期。
Therefore, Lin Xuan felt confident enough to attempt refining this treasure-grade item. A 100% success rate was unrealistic, but he believed there was an 80% chance.
lán sè xīng hǎi ， yě huò dé le jìn jí ， suǒ yǒu de guāng diǎn ， dōu biàn chéng le cuǐ càn de yín sè。
蓝sè星海，也获得了晋级，所有的光点，都变成了璀璨的银sè。
This refinement room was merely for purifying waste pills, and the earth's fire could mask his activities.
tí chún de chéng gōng lǜ 。 zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng ， yě jiù zēng jiā le xǔ duō 。
提纯的成功率。在原有的基础上，也就增加了许多。
Despite being in the Sound Palace, he had set up divine spirit talismans from the heavenly realm. He didn't need to worry about being discovered.
gù ér tài xū miào líng dān zhè yàng pǐn jiē de bǎo wù ， lín xuān yě jiù yǒu le cháng shì de bǎ wò 。
故而太虚妙灵丹这样品阶的宝物，林轩也就有了尝试的把握。
Lin Xuan turned over thegourdand poured out a black waste pill.
bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de chéng gōng lǜ dāng rán shì bù gǎn xiǎng de 。
百分之百的成功率当然是不敢想的。
He sat cross-legged and placed it in his palm.
dàn ruò shì méi yǒu nòng cuò ， bā chéng de jī huì hái shì yǒu de 。
但若是没有弄错，八成的机会还是有的。
Then, with deep breaths, the Blue Star Sea flowed continuously, its brilliant light points like mana flowing through his meridians into his palm.
zhè liàn dān fáng bù guò shì tí chún de chǎng suǒ ， dì mài zhī huǒ ， yě kě yǐ yǎn rén ěr mù 。
这炼丹房不过是提纯的场所，地脉之火，也可以掩人耳目。
He began the purification process...
dì diǎn suī rán shì zài tiān yīn gōng ， dàn zì jǐ bù xià le xiān jiè líng fú ， zì rán bù yòng dān xīn bèi duì fāng kàn pò 。
地点虽然是在天音宫，但自己布下了仙界灵符，自然不用担心被对方看破。
The process was familiar to Lin Xuan, but the high grade of the Great Void Marvelous Spirit Pill added considerable difficulty.
yú shì lín xuān dào zhuǎn hú lú ， cóng lǐ miàn dào chū yī lì wū hēi de fèi dān lái le 。
于是林轩倒转葫芦，从里面倒出一粒乌黑的废丹来了。
Sweat trickled down his forehead. Divine treasures indeed were not easy to handle; purifying a waste pill into a useful spiritual item required great effort.
lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， jiāng qí zhì yú shǒu xīn zhī zhōng 。
林轩盘膝而坐，将其至于手心之中。
After a night's work, the pills in his palm had shattered, and an acrid smell spread out. Clearly, this attempt was unsatisfactory.
suí hòu shēn shēn hū xī 。 lán sè xīng hǎi liú zhuǎn bù yǐ ， cuǐ càn guāng diǎn ， rú tóng fǎ lì yì bān ， shùn zhe qí jīng bā mài ， liú tǎng dào le shǒu xīn lǐ miàn 。
随后深深呼吸。蓝sè星海流转不已，璀璨光点，如同法力一般，顺着奇经八脉，流淌到了手心里面。
A night of effort ended in failure.
jiāng nà fèi dān bāo guǒ ， kāi shǐ le tí chún de dòng zuò ……
将那废丹包裹，开始了提纯的动作……
But Lin Xuan's expression remained calm. He expected such difficulties; one failure was nothing to worry about. He would continue with renewed vigor.
zhè ge guò chéng lín xuān yǐ shì jià qīng jiù shú ， zhǐ bù guò yīn wèi tài xū miào líng dān pǐn jiē tài gāo ér píng tiān le bù xiǎo de nán dù 。
这个过程林轩已是驾轻就熟，只不过因为太虚妙灵丹品阶太高而平添了不小的难度。
Failure is the mother of success, after all. This purification wasn't entirely fruitless—it provided some valuable experience and lessons.
lín xuān de é tóu ， jiàn jiàn de shèn chū le xì mì de hàn zhū 。
林轩的额头，渐渐的渗出了细密的汗珠。
The only regret was that there could be only one chance for each refinement.
xiān jiā zhī wù ， guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 xiǎng yào jiāng fèi dān tí chún chéng yǒu yòng de líng wù ， shí zài bú shì yī jiàn róng yì de gōng zuò 。
仙家之物，果然非同小可。想要将废丹提纯成有用的灵物，实在不是一件容易的工作。
If it failed, it would become a true waste pill. The Blue Star Sea couldn't revert it.
yī yè de shí jiān guò qù le 。
一夜的时间过去了。
Lin Xuan took deep breaths as he summarized his experiences and rested.
lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng móu ， zhǎng xīn zhōng de dān yào yǐ jīng suì liè diào le ， yī gǔ xīn là de qì wèi mí sàn ér chū 。 xiǎn rán zhè cì tí chún bìng méi yǒu dé dào mǎn yì de jié guǒ 。
林轩睁开双眸，掌心中的丹药已经碎裂掉了，一股辛辣的气味弥散而出。显然这次提纯并没有得到满意的结果。
An hour passed before he took another waste pill, closed his eyes, and began the purification process again.
yī yè nǔ lì ， huàn lái de ， què shì shī bài de jié jú 。
一夜努力，换来的，却是失败的结局。
After a night's work, failure was the result once more.
rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yī jiù shì píng dàn wú bǐ 。
然而林轩脸上的表情，依旧是平淡无比。
Lin Xuan sighed but remained undiscouraged. He had faced far greater challenges on his path to cultivation.
tā zǎo yǐ liào dào tí chún tài xū miào líng dān de nán dù 。 yī cì shī bài gēn běn suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
他早已料到提纯太虚妙灵丹的难度。一次失败根本算不了什么。
This single setback meant nothing.
zài jiē zài lì jiù xíng le 。
再接再厉就行了。
His temperament was resilient.
sú huà shuō ， shī bài shì chéng gōng zhī mǔ ， zhè yī cì tí chún bìng bú shì méi yǒu shōu huò 。 duō duō shǎo shǎo gěi zì jǐ tí gōng le yī xiē jīng yàn jiào xùn lái zhe 。
俗话说，失败是成功之母，这一次提纯并不是没有收获。多多少少给自己提供了一些经验教训来着。
Resting and purifying—once more, it failed.
wéi yī kě xī de shì ， dān yào tí chún ， jī huì zhǐ yǒu yī cì 。
唯一可惜的是，丹药提纯，机会只有一次。
No problem; he would try again with renewed effort.
shī bài le ， jiù biàn chéng zhēn zhèng de fèi dān ， lán sè xīng hǎi ， lán sè xīng hǎi ， yě bù kě néng zài jiāng tā huán yuán 。
失败了，就变成真正的废丹，蓝sè星海，蓝sè星海，也不可能再将它还原。
Failure is the mother of success. Hard work always yields results.
lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， yī biān zǒng jié jīng yàn jiào xùn ， yī biān xiū xī 。
林轩深深呼吸，一边总结经验教训，一边休息。
When Lin Xuan refined the fourth Great Void Marvelous Spirit Pill, he finally received divine approval.
yí gè shí chén jiù zhè yàng guò qù 。
一个时辰就这样过去。
A snow-white pill appeared in his palm.
suí hòu lín xuān zài qǔ chū yī lì fèi dān ， bì shàng shuāng mù ， chóng xīn tí chún qǐ lái le 。
随后林轩再取出一粒废丹，闭上双目，重新提纯起来了。
Though the pill was white, a colorful aura emitted from its surface, and countless tinyrunepulsed around it.
yī yè zhī hòu ， yī jiù shì shī bài de jié guǒ 。
一夜之后，依旧是失败的结果。
The fragrance permeated the entire stone room, so soothing that all fatigue vanished upon inhalation.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， yě bù qì něi ， dāng nián tā chú tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， yù jiàn de cuò zhé ， yào bǐ zhè dà shàng xǔ duō 。
林轩叹了口气，也不气馁，当年他除踏上修仙之路，遇见的挫折，要比这大上许多。
No wonder divine treasures had such miraculous effects. The scent alone seemed to have incredible power.
zhè yì diǎn shī bài ， yòu suàn dé le shén me 。
这一点失败，又算得了什么。
Indeed, the Great Void Marvelous Spirit Pill could help tribulation cultivators break through their barriers as described in ancient texts.
lín xuān de xīn xìng， shì hěn jiān rèn de 。
林轩的心xìng，是很坚韧的。
Lin Xuan was delighted and pulled out an jade bottle with a wave of his sleeve.
xiū xī ， zài tí chún ， dì sān cì ， yī jiù shì shī bài de jié guǒ 。
休息，再提纯，第三次，依旧是失败的结果。
He uncorked it and placed the refined Great Void Marvelous Spirit Pills inside.
méi guān xì ， chóng xīn nǔ lì jiù shì le 。
没关系，重新努力就是了。
But this wasn't over. He had been given ten sets of raw materials, and he only needed to complete one batch of pills.
sú huà shuō ， shī bài shì chéng gōng zhī mǔ ， xīn láo de fù chū ， zǒng guī huì yǒu shōu huò 。
俗话说，失败是成功之母，辛劳的付出，总归会有收获。
Each batch should contain nine pills, so more purification work awaited him.
dāng lín xuān tí chún dì sì kē tài xū miào líng dān de shí hòu ， zǒng suàn huò dé le lǎo tiān yé de rèn kě 。
当林轩提纯第四颗太虚妙灵丹的时候，总算获得了老天爷的认可。
Moreover, success didn't guarantee future luck or confidence.
yī kē xuě bái de dān yào ， zài zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
一颗雪白的丹药，在掌心中浮现而出。
Thankfully, thegourdcontained about a hundred waste pills. As long as his luck wasn't abysmally bad, he could finish the task.
dān yào suī shì jié bái zhī wù ， rán ér biǎo miàn què yǒu wǔ yán liù sè de guāng yùn sàn fà ér chū ， wú shù bǐ mǐ lì gèng jiā xì xiǎo de fú wén ， rào zhe tā ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de pēn bó 。
丹药虽是洁白之物，然而表面却有五颜六sè的光晕散发而出，无数比米粒更加细小的符文，绕着它若隐若现的喷薄。
With this thought, Lin Xuan felt relieved and closed his eyes to rest while reflecting on the successful process.
qìn rén xīn pí de xiāng qì jiāng zhěng jiān shí shì dōu tián mǎn le 。
沁人心脾的香气将整间石室都填满了。
Several hours passed before he took another pill and began purifying it with renewed focus.
nà xiāng qì shì rú cǐ de shū fú ， wén shàng yī kǒu jìng rán ràng hún shēn de pí bèi xiāo shī diào le 。
那香气是如此的舒服，闻上一口竟然让浑身的疲惫消失掉了。
...
bù kuì shì xiān jiā zhī wù ， guāng shì sàn fà chū lái de xiāng wèi ér jiù yǒu rú cǐ bù kě sī yì de xiào guǒ 。
不愧是仙家之物，光是散发出来的香味儿就有如此不可思议的效果。
This time, fortune favored him; it was a success.
shuō tài xū miào líng dān néng bāng dù jié qī xiū shì jiāng píng jǐng tū pò ， xiǎng bì yě jué bú shì shàng gǔ diǎn jí zhōng kuā dà qí cí de miáo xiě le 。
说太虚妙灵丹能帮渡劫期修士将瓶颈突破，想必也绝不是上古典籍中夸大其词的描写了。
After resting briefly, Lin Xuan started the purification of the next pill.
lín xuān xīn zhōng huān xǐ ， xiù páo yī dǒu ， yí gè yù píng fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩心中欢喜，袖袍一抖，一个玉瓶浮现而出。
...
bá kāi píng sāi ， lín xuān jiāng tí chún chū lái de tài xū miào líng dān zhuāng zài lǐ miàn 。
拔开瓶塞，林轩将提纯出来的太虚妙灵丹装在里面。
Thus, over the following month, Lin Xuan hardly rested as he tirelessly purified the Great Void Marvelous Spirit Pills.
bù guò shì qíng bìng wèi jié shù 。
不过事情并未结束。
The success rate was lower than expected—despite his careful efforts, only about half succeeded.
duì fāng tí gōng gěi zì jǐ de yuán liào gòng yǒu shí fèn zhī duō ， dāng chū de yuē dìng shì ， zì jǐ zhǐ yào liàn zhì chū yī lú dān yào jiù suàn wán chéng le rèn wù 。
对方提供给自己的原料共有十份之多，当初的约定是，自己只要炼制出一炉丹药就算完成了任务。
Out of more than a hundred waste pills, only a few were refined successfully.
ér yī lú dān yào ， yīng gāi shì yǒu jiǔ kē ， suǒ yǐ zì jǐ jiē xià lǐ ， hái yǔ fán zhòng de tí chún gōng zuò 。
而一炉丹药，应该是有九颗，所以自己接下里，还与繁重的提纯工作。
Lin Xuan placed nine of these in an jade bottle—a full batch of pills.
ér qiě zhè yī cì chéng gōng le ， bù dài biǎo xià yī cì yě yǒu zhè yàng de yùn qì yǔ bǎ wò 。
而且这一次成功了，不代表下一次也有这样的运气与把握。
He kept the rest as his own reward for all this effort. Not a wasted endeavor.
hǎo zài zhè yī hú lú de fèi dān ， lín xuān cū lüè yī shù ， dà yuē yǒu bǎi lì zhī duō ， zì jǐ zhǐ yào bú shì yùn qì chà dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， zěn me dōu néng gòu wán chéng rèn wù 。
好在这一葫芦的废丹，林轩粗略一数，大约有百粒之多，自己只要不是运气差到无以复加的地步，怎么都能够完成任务。
After months of toil, he had gained much.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān qīng sōng le xǔ duō 。
念及至此，林轩轻松了许多。
Checking the time, there were still a few days left. So Lin Xuan simply rested and prepared himself mentally.
bì shàng shuāng mù ， yī biān xiū xī ， yī biān xì xì tǐ huì ， gāng gāng chéng gōng de jīng yàn shì shén me 。
闭上双目，一边休息，一边细细体会，刚刚成功的经验是什么。
(To be continued...)
huǎng yǎn ， shù gè shí chén guò qù ， lín xuān yòu jiāng yī lì dān yào qǔ chū ， jù jīng huì shén de kāi shǐ tí chún qǐ lái le 。
晃眼，数个时辰过去，林轩又将一粒丹药取出，聚jīng会神的开始提纯起来了。
PS: During the double monthly ticket period, Huan Yu would have preferred not to post just one chapter, but his son was sick today, and Huan Yu spent all day at the hospital. This chapter took great effort to write. I apologize for any inconvenience caused, Fellow Daoists!
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and sat in meditation. Soon, a day and night passed.
After this period of rest, his spirit had recovered to its peak.
With a wave of his sleeve, a pile of materials appeared before him.
Some shone with golden light, others emittedrune, or were enveloped by colorful spiritual lights—clearly not ordinary objects.
