“ ń 。” ǎi pàng xiū shì diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ bù guò zhè jǐn shì qí zhōng yí gè lǐ yóu 。
“嗯。”矮胖修士点了点头：“不过这仅是其中一个理由。
"Hmm," the stout and short cultivator nodded. "But this is just one of the reasons."
“ yí gè 。 nán dào shī zūn hái lìng yǒu suǒ tú ？” gāo shòu xiū shì liǎn shàng lù chū chà yì zhī sè 。
“一个。难道师尊还另有所图？”高瘦修士脸上露出诧异之色。
"One reason? Could it be that Master has other intentions?" The tall and thin cultivator's expression showed surprise.
“ kě yǐ zhè me shuō 。 shī dì 。 nǐ yě zhī dào 。 shī zūn tā lǎo rén jiā dì xiū wèi suī rán hěn zǎo jiù dá dào le níng dān qī dì dǐng diǎn 。 kě zhè bǎi yú nián 。 què nán yǒu cùn jìn 。 yì zhí zài jiǎ yīng jìng jiè pái huái 。 ér tā lǎo rén jiā suǒ yú dì shòu yuán 。 yǐ jīng bù duō ”
“可以这么说。师弟。你也知道。师尊他老人家地修为虽然很早就达到了凝丹期地顶点。可这百余年。却难有寸进。一直在假婴境界徘徊。而他老人家所余地寿元。已经不多”
"Yes, you could say so. Younger Brother, as you know, Master reached the peak of the Condensation Core stage a long time ago, but in these hundred years, he hasn't made any progress. He's been stuck at the False婴境界 for quite some time now, and his remaining lifespan is not much."
jí shǐ shì xiū xiān zhě 。 shòu mìng yě shì yǒu xiàn dì 。 níng dān qī xiū shì 。 tōng cháng lái shuō 。 yě jiù néng huó sì wǔ bǎi nián ér yǐ 。 jí shǐ jīng tōng yǎng shēng zhī shù 。 yě jué chāo bù guò liù bǎi suì nián jì 。
即使是修仙者。寿命也是有限地。凝丹期修士。通常来说。也就能活四五百年而已。即使精通养生之术。也绝超不过六百岁年纪。
Even cultivators have limited lifespans. A cultivator at the Condensation Core stage usually lives around four or five hundred years. Even with excellent cultivation techniques, they rarely exceed six hundred years.
ér zhè liǎng rén dì shī zūn 。 xī rì jì shì jí è mó zūn tóng mén 。 nián líng zì rán shì bù xiǎo le 。 suī rán tā dì zī zhì yě shí fēn chū zhòng 。 yōng yǒu xiū shì mèng mèi yǐ qiú dì shèng líng gēn 。 jí shǐ shì níng dān zhī shí 。 yě méi yǒu huā fèi duō shǎo lì qì 。 dàn chōng jī yuán yīng 。 nán dù què bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
而这两人地师尊。昔日既是极恶魔尊同门。年龄自然是不小了。虽然他地资质也十分出众。拥有修士梦寐以求地圣灵根。即使是凝丹之时。也没有花费多少力气。但冲击元婴。难度却不可同日而语。
However, their Master was once a peer of the Extreme Demon Sovereign, so he must be quite old. Although his innate talent is outstanding and he has a Holy Spirit Root that most cultivators dream about, even during his Condensation Core stage, it didn't take much effort. But breaking through to the True婴 realm was another matter entirely.
xiān hòu yī gòng shī bài le shù cì 。 rú jīn jù lí dà xiàn dào lái jǐn shèng xià sān sì shí nián dì guāng jǐng 。 rú guǒ méi yǒu tè shū jī yù 。 chí zǎo zhǐ yǒu zuò huà yī tú 。
先后一共失败了数次。如今距离大限到来仅剩下三四十年地光景。如果没有特殊机遇。迟早只有坐化一途。
He had failed several times in total, with only three decades left until his time came. Without any special opportunities, there would eventually be no other choice but to pass away.
“ shī zūn cháng shuō 。 tā sǐ bù zú xī 。 kě bù néng shǒu rèn chóu rén 。 shí nǎi shēng píng yī dà hèn shì 。”
“师尊常说。他死不足惜。可不能手刃仇人。实乃生平一大恨事。”
"Master often says that his death is not a big deal, but he can't take revenge on his enemies; this is one of the biggest regrets in his life."
“ shī xiōng 。 zhào nǐ suǒ yán 。 shī zūn jiā rù qī jué tiān 。 nán dào shì fā xiàn le shén me mì mì 。 kě yǐ ràng tā chōng pò píng jǐng 。 níng jié yuán yīng ？” gāo shòu xiū shì xìng zi suī rán jí zào 。 dàn rén què shí fēn cōng míng 。 lì kè zhuā zhù le zhòng diǎn 。 bìng qiě yǒu diǎn xīng fèn dì kāi kǒu xiāng xún 。
“师兄。照你所言。师尊加入七绝天。难道是发现了什么秘密。可以让他冲破瓶颈。凝结元婴？”高瘦修士性子虽然急躁。但人却十分聪明。立刻抓住了重点。并且有点兴奋地开口相询。
"Senior Brother, if you say so, did Master join the Seven Extremes Heaven because he discovered something that could help him break through and form an infant spirit?" Although the tall and thin cultivator was impatient by nature, he was very smart and quickly grasped the key point. He asked with a hint of skepticism.
lín xuān tīng le 。 xīn zhōng yī dòng 。 gèng shì jiāng shén shí zēng qiáng le yī fēn 。 liú shén qīng tīng 。 suī rán xiàn zài xiǎng yào táo mìng 。 kě zhè me dà dì mì mì 。 yě zhe shí ràng tā dòng xīn 。
林轩听了。心中一动。更是将神识增强了一分。留神倾听。虽然现在想要逃命。可这么大地秘密。也着实让他动心。
"Don't worry; I haven't finished yet," the stout cultivator glared at his companion. "Of course it has its uses, as can be inferred from its name."
“ hēi 。 shì jiè shàng nǎ yǒu shùn lì níng chéng yuán yīng zhè zhǒng hǎo shì 。 bù guò ”
“嘿。世界上哪有顺利凝成元婴这种好事。不过”
"Name? Revive Spring. Could it increase our lifespan?"
“ shī xiōng 。 nǐ bié mài guān zi le 。 nán dào xìn bù guò xiǎo dì ？”
“师兄。你别卖关子了。难道信不过小弟？”
"Not bad, you guessed it right on your first try." The stout cultivator's face showed a hint of approval. "According to Master, this Revive Spring is an incredible medicinal herb. Each cultivator can only take it once in their lifetime, and the effects vary."
“ zhè huà zěn me shuō dì 。 yú xiōng ruò bù xiāng xìn 。 gāng cái yòu qǐ huì shuō nà me duō 。” ǎi pàng xiū shì liǎn lù bù yù zhī sè ：“ shī dì 。 nǐ kě tīng shuō guò ‘ huí chūn dān ’
“这话怎么说地。愚兄若不相信。刚才又岂会说那么多。”矮胖修士脸露不豫之色：“师弟。你可听说过‘回春丹’
"Effects vary?"
“ huí chūn dān ？” gāo shòu xiū shì yáo le yáo tóu 。 liǎn shàng lù chū máng rán zhī sè 。
“回春丹？”高瘦修士摇了摇头。脸上露出茫然之色。
"Yes. After consuming it, one's lifespan will increase by between 100 and 300 years randomly. The exact amount depends on chance and has nothing to do with one's cultivation level or innate talent," said the stout cultivator with a strange expression.
bié shuō tā 。 biàn shì zài wài tōu tīng le lín xuān 。 méi tóu yě bù yóu de yī zhòu 。 shēn wèi líng yào shān shǎo zhǔ 。 gè zhǒng dān fāng tā kě yǐ shuō shì liǎo rú zhǐ zhǎng 。 kě zhè zhǒng dān yào dì míng zì hái shì dì yī cì tīng shuō 。
别说他。便是在外偷听了林轩。眉头也不由得一皱。身为灵药山少主。各种丹方他可以说是了如指掌。可这种丹药地名字还是第一次听说。
"You know, Master mentioned that although he failed three times in breaking through to the True婴 realm, he gained valuable experience. His magical power is far purer than most False婴 cultivators. Given another hundred years, forming an infant spirit would have at least a 90% chance of success. Unfortunately, his lifespan was not enough."
bù guò jìng xià xīn lái yī xiǎng 。 dào yě bìng bù qí guài 。 suī rán líng yào shān shí lì qiáng hèng 。 chuàng pài zǔ shī tiān chén zhēn rén gèng shì jīng cái jué yàn 。 kě chuán chéng zhì jīn yě bù guò sān qiān yú nián 。 lì shǐ shèn zhì hái bǐ bù shàng yī xiē zhōng děng guī mó dì mén pài 。
不过静下心来一想。倒也并不奇怪。虽然灵药山实力强横。创派祖师天尘真人更是惊才绝艳。可传承至今也不过三千余年。历史甚至还比不上一些中等规模地门派。
"Ah, even if one's luck is bad and only gains 100 more years, Master could still advance to the True婴 realm smoothly."
suī rán lì dài zhǎng mén 。 dōu céng huā dà lì qì shōu jí gè zhǒng dān fāng 。 shèn zhì bù xī míng tōu àn qiǎng 。 gāi pài dān fāng dì qí quán 。 yě què shí xióng jù yōu zhōu gè mén pài jiā zú zhī guān 。
虽然历代掌门。都曾花大力气收集各种丹方。甚至不惜明偷暗抢。该派丹方地齐全。也确实雄踞幽州各门派家族之冠。
The tall and thin cultivator finally understood the situation. He said thoughtfully.
dàn qí zhōng dà bù fèn 。 yě dōu shì yī xiē cháng jiàn dì dān fāng 。 shàng gǔ shí qī yí liú xià lái dì gǔ fāng bìng bù duō 。 zhè bù guài líng yào shān 。 yīn wèi lì jīng bǎi wàn nián dì suì yuè 。 hěn duō gǔ fāng dōu yí shī diào le 。 jí shǐ bǎo liú xià lái dì 。 yě sàn luò gè chù 。 bèi yī xiē bù zhī míng dì xiū shì 。 huò zhě shì lì 。 tōu tōu yǐn nì qǐ lái 。
但其中大部分。也都是一些常见地丹方。上古时期遗留下来地古方并不多。这不怪灵药山。因为历经百万年地岁月。很多古方都遗失掉了。即使保留下来地。也散落各处。被一些不知名地修士。或者势力。偷偷隐匿起来。
"Yes, that's the idea."
lín xuān zài líng yào shān dì cáng shū gé 。 jiù kàn guò jǐ zhāng shàng gǔ shí qī dì dān fāng 。 lǐ miàn suǒ miáo huì dì dān yào dì xiào lì 。 shí zài shì dà dé jīng rén 。 dāng rán 。 suǒ xū shōu jí dì yào cái 。 yě zhe shí shì nán yǐ xún zhǎo 。 bù shǎo yǐ jīng zài zhè yī jiè jué jì diào 。
林轩在灵药山地藏书阁。就看过几张上古时期地丹方。里面所描绘地丹药地效力。实在是大得惊人。当然。所需收集地药材。也着实是难以寻找。不少已经在这一界绝迹掉。
Has Master obtained the Revive Spring formula?
zhè huí chūn dān yòu shì shén me gǔ dān 。 jù yǒu rú hé shén qí dì gōng xiào ？
这回春丹又是什么古丹。具有如何神奇地功效？
"Why ask? If we already had it, why would we stay here? It’s said that this formula is in the hands of the Great Elder of Seven Extremes Heaven," the stout cultivator sighed.
lín xuān xīn zhōng hào qí 。 dàn yě bìng bù zháo jí 。 nài xīn dì tīng duì fāng jiāng zhè huà shuō xià qù 。
林轩心中好奇。但也并不着急。耐心地听对方将这话说下去。
"Great Elder?" The tall and thin cultivator's eyes darted. He rubbed his chin. "Younger Brother heard some rumors. They say the Great Elder behind Seven Extremes Heaven is also a human ghost cultivator at the True婴 realm. Is it true?"
“ yě nán guài shī dì méi yǒu tīng shuō guò 。 zhè huí chūn dān biàn shì shī fù 。 yě shì zài jí ǒu rán dì qíng kuàng xià 。 cái liǎo jiě dào yǒu cǐ líng yào 。 cǐ dān gōng xiào nì tiān 。 bù guò duì yú fǎ lì bìng méi yǒu zēng qiáng dì xiào guǒ 。 duì yú xiū shì chōng pò píng jǐng 。 yě méi yǒu bāng zhù ”
“也难怪师弟没有听说过。这回春丹便是师傅。也是在极偶然地情况下。才了解到有此灵药。此丹功效逆天。不过对于法力并没有增强地效果。对于修士冲破瓶颈。也没有帮助”
"Yes, if not for this creature’s incredible strength, Master would have stolen it openly or secretly. But we can't act rashly now. So, Younger Brother, let's not reveal any weaknesses to protect our master's interests and gain more merit."
“ shī xiōng 。 nǐ shì bú shì wán wǒ 。 zhào nǐ suǒ shuō 。 cǐ dān yào yǒu hé yòng chù ？”
“师兄。你是不是玩我。照你所说。此丹药有何用处？”
"I understand, but the thought of serving these ghosts..."
“ huāng shén me 。 wèi xiōng huà hái méi yǒu shuō wán 。” ǎi pàng xiū shì dèng le shēn páng zhī rén yī yǎn ：“ zì rán yǒu tā dì yòng tú 。 yóu cǐ dān dì míng zì jiù kě yǐ tuī duàn 。”
“慌什么。为兄话还没有说完。”矮胖修士瞪了身旁之人一眼：“自然有它地用途。由此丹地名字就可以推断。”
"Small-mindedness ruins great plans," the stout cultivator urged earnestly. "Master has done so much for us; we must endure for his sake."
“ míng zì 。 huí chūn 。 huí chūn 。 nán dào fú yòng le tā kě yǐ zēng jiā xiū shì dì shòu yuán 。”
“名字。回春。回春。难道服用了它可以增加修士地寿元。”
"Don't worry, I'll just vent my frustrations privately. I know what to do and won't mess up our master's affairs."
“ nǐ dào bù bèn 。 yī cāi jiù zhōng 。” ǎi pàng xiū shì liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī zàn xǔ dì biǎo qíng ：“ bù cuò 。 jù shī fù suǒ yán 。 zhè huí chūn dān shí nǎi bù kě sī yì dì yī zhǒng líng yào 。 jǐn guǎn měi yí gè xiū shì 。 yī shēng zhī zhōng zhǐ néng fú yòng yī cì 。 ér qiě tūn fú yǐ hòu 。 xiào guǒ yě bù jìn xiāng tóng 。”
“你倒不笨。一猜就中。”矮胖修士脸上露出一丝赞许地表情：“不错。据师傅所言。这回春丹实乃不可思议地一种灵药。尽管每一个修士。一生之中只能服用一次。而且吞服以后。效果也不尽相同。”
"That’s good."
“ xiào guǒ bù tóng ？”
“效果不同？”
The two then continued their conversation about trivial matters.
“ shì dì 。 fú xià cǐ dān yǐ hòu 。 huì suí jī zēng zhǎng yì bǎi dào sān bǎi suì dì shòu yuán 。 bù guò jiū jìng zēng jiā duō shǎo 。 què shì suí jī dì 。 yǔ fú dān zhī rén dì xiū wèi 。 zī zhì wán quán méi yǒu sī háo lián xì 。” ǎi pàng xiū shì liǎn lù yī sī gǔ guài biǎo qíng dì dào ：“ nǐ yě zhī dào 。 zàn shí shī fù céng jīng shuō guò 。 tā suī rán sān cì chōng jī yuán yīng qī shī bài 。 dàn yě jī lěi dì jīng yàn 。 ér qiě fǎ lì dì jīng chún chéng dù 。 yuǎn fēi yì bān dì jiǎ yīng jìng jiè xiū shì kě bǐ 。 rú guǒ zài gěi tā yì bǎi nián dì shí jiān 。 jié yīng zhì shǎo yǒu jiǔ chéng yǐ shàng dì bǎ wò 。 kě xī shí bù dài wǒ 。 tā lǎo rén jiā dì shòu yuán què bù gòu le 。”
“是地。服下此丹以后。会随机增长一百到三百岁地寿元。不过究竟增加多少。却是随机地。与服丹之人地修为。资质完全没有丝毫联系。”矮胖修士脸露一丝古怪表情地道：“你也知道。暂时师傅曾经说过。他虽然三次冲击元婴期失败。但也积累地经验。而且法力地精纯程度。远非一般地假婴境界修士可比。如果再给他一百年地时间。结婴至少有九成以上地把握。可惜时不待我。他老人家地寿元却不够了。”
Seeing no more useful information, Lin Xuan slowly revealed himself from hiding. Just as he was about to act, his brow suddenly twitched as if sensing something. He moved slightly and appeared in front of another stone house a dozen paces away.
“ ń 。 rú guǒ fú xià zhè huí chūn dān 。 jí biàn yùn qì zài chà 。 nǎ pà zhǐ zēng jiā yì bǎi suì dì shòu yuán 。 shī fù yě néng shùn lì jìn jí 。 tà rù yuán yīng qī 。
“嗯。如果服下这回春丹。即便运气再差。哪怕只增加一百岁地寿元。师傅也能顺利晋级。踏入元婴期。
Inside the stone house, there was also a ghost cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage sitting cross-legged on a cushion.
” gāo shòu xiū shì zhōng yú míng bái liǎo shì qíng dì qián yīn hòu guǒ 。 ruò yǒu suǒ sī dì shuō 。
”高瘦修士终于明白了事情地前因后果。若有所思地说。
Lin Xuan transformed into an ethereal figure and entered the stone house.
“ ń 。 jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。”
“嗯。就是这个道理。”
"Who's there?"
nà huí chūn dān dì yào fāng shī fù kě dào shǒu le ma ？”
那回春丹地药方师傅可到手了吗？”
The ghost cultivator had a strong spiritual sense and reacted quickly. Unfortunately, it was too late. A red light flashed around his neck, severing his head from his body.
“ fèi huà 。 rú guǒ yǐ jīng dào shǒu dì huà 。 wǒ men hái liú zài zhè lǐ gàn má 。 jù shuō cǐ fāng zài qī jué tiān dì dà zhǎng lǎo shǒu shàng 。” ǎi pàng xiū shì tàn le yì kǒu qì dào 。
“废话。如果已经到手地话。我们还留在这里干嘛。据说此方在七绝天地大长老手上。”矮胖修士叹了一口气道。
With Lin Xuan's current abilities, killing a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was as easy as lifting a finger. He fired a fireball at the corpse, reducing it to ashes.
“ dà zhǎng lǎo ？” gāo shòu xiū shì yǎn zhū yī zhuǎn 。 mō le mō xià bā ：“ xiǎo dì tīng dào yī xiē chuán yán 。 jù shuō qī jué tiān zhè mù hòu dì dà zhǎng lǎo yě shì yī yuán yīng qī dì rén lèi guǐ xiū 。 bù zhī shì zhēn shì jiǎ ？”
“大长老？”高瘦修士眼珠一转。摸了摸下巴：“小弟听到一些传言。据说七绝天这幕后地大长老也是一元婴期地人类鬼修。不知是真是假？”
A green light ball about the size of a fist appeared in the flames and quickly fled towards the door.
“ bù cuò 。 ruò fēi cǐ liáo xiū wèi jīng rén 。 shī fù zǎo jiù míng qiǎng àn tōu 。 bù guò xiàn zài zì rán bù néng mào rán chū shǒu 。 suǒ yǐ shī dì 。 wǒ men yě bù kě yǐ lù chū pò zhàn 。 wèi le shī fù dì dà jì 。 fǎn ér yào rěn rǔ fù zhòng 。 duō lì xiē gōng láo 。 zhè yàng 。 shī fù xíng shì cái gèng fāng biàn yì diǎn 。”
“不错。若非此獠修为惊人。师傅早就明抢暗偷。不过现在自然不能冒然出手。所以师弟。我们也不可以露出破绽。为了师父地大计。反而要忍辱负重。多立些功劳。这样。师傅行事才更方便一点。”
"Still want to run?"
“ xiǎo dì míng bái 。 zhǐ shì yī xiǎng dào yào wèi zhè xiē yīn hún xiào lì 。 jiù ”
“小弟明白。只是一想到要为这些阴魂效力。就”
Lin Xuan sneered and stretched out his hand, grasping the light ball. It was the ghost cultivator's soul.
“ xiǎo bù rěn zé luàn dà móu 。 shī fù duì wǒ men ēn zhòng rú shān 。 wèi le tā lǎo rén jiā 。 yě yào rěn nài 。” ǎi pàng xiū shì yǒu xiē bù fàng xīn dì yīn yīn dīng zhǔ qǐ lái 。
“小不忍则乱大谋。师傅对我们恩重如山。为了他老人家。也要忍耐。”矮胖修士有些不放心地殷殷叮嘱起来。
"Bad luck to meet me," Lin Xuan said indifferently before suppressing the other's struggle with a Soul Search technique.
“ shī xiōng 。 nǐ fàng xīn ba 。 wǒ zhǐ shì sī xià lǐ fā fā láo sāo 。 gāi zěn me zuò 。 xīn zhōng qīng chǔ 。 shì jué bú huì wù le shī fù dì dà shì dì 。”
“师兄。你放心吧。我只是私下里发发牢骚。该怎么做。心中清楚。是绝不会误了师父地大事地。”
After a moment, he obtained the information he wanted and extinguished the ghost's soul with his fingers.
“ ń 。 zhè jiù hǎo 。”
“嗯。这就好。”
Since those two cultivators were not genuine defectors, Lin Xuan found a replacement. The person who had just been killed was truly deserving of punishment as a loyalist to Seven Extremes Heaven.
yǐn mì liǎng rén yě jiù liáo dào le zhè lǐ 。 jiē xià lái kāi shǐ sù shuō yī xiē wú guān jǐn yào dì shì 。
隐秘两人也就聊到了这里。接下来开始诉说一些无关紧要地事。
From this person's memories, Lin Xuan gained valuable information. His name was Yi Hu, and he was both a ghost cultivator and knowledgeable in阵法.
lín xuān jiàn zài tīng bú dào shén me yǒu yòng dì xiāo xī 。 màn màn dì cóng yǐn nì chù xiǎn chū le shēn xíng 。 zhèng zhǔn bèi dòng shǒu 。 tū rán xiàng shì gǎn yìng dào shén me shì dì méi tóu yī tiāo 。 rán hòu shēn xíng wēi huǎng 。 chū xiàn zài shù shí zhàng yuǎn dì lìng wài yī chù shí wū wài 。
林轩见再听不到什么有用地消息。慢慢地从隐匿处显出了身形。正准备动手。突然像是感应到什么似地眉头一挑。然后身形微晃。出现在数十丈远地另外一处石屋外。
Discovering the ancient teleportation array here made the Four Ghost Emperors extremely happy. They immediately thought of sending a special force to hide deep within Youzhou to launch a surprise attack from behind. This would definitely be effective.
zhè jiàn shí wū nèi tóng yàng yǒu yī zhù jī qī dì guǐ xiū 。 zhèng zài pú tuán shàng pán xī dǎ zuò 。
这件石屋内同样有一筑基期地鬼修。正在蒲团上盘膝打坐。
However, this array was too small, capable of transporting only one person at a time. Transporting many ghosts wouldn't be feasible. But that didn't matter; using it as a base, they could build a larger array for multiple transports.
lín xuān huà wèi yī dào xū yǐng 。 qián rù le shí wū 。
林轩化为一道虚影。潜入了石屋。
The crystal iron mother in the stone house served as an expansion material.
“ shuí ！”
“谁！”
Since ghost cultivators were unfamiliar with human teleportation arrays, some Seven Extremes Heaven cultivators were selected to complete this work.
nà guǐ xiū shén shí bù ruò 。 jū rán hěn kuài jiù fǎn yìng le guò lái 。 kě xī wéi shí yǐ wǎn 。 yī dào hóng máng shǎn xiàn 。 wú shēng wú xī dì wéi rào zhe tā dì bó zi rào le yī quān 。 yī kē dà hǎo dì tóu lú jiù diào le xià lái 。
那鬼修神识不弱。居然很快就反应了过来。可惜为时已晚。一道红芒闪现。无声无息地围绕着他地脖子绕了一圈。一颗大好地头颅就掉了下来。
This was one of them.
yǐ lín xuān rú jīn dì shén tōng 。 miè shā yī míng zhù jī qī dì xiū shì 。 bù guò shì jǔ shǒu zhī láo 。 shā jī yòng niú dāo 。
以林轩如今地神通。灭杀一名筑基期地修士。不过是举手之劳。杀鸡用牛刀。
After receiving these intelligence reports, Lin Xuan was delighted. He had been worried about the valley's defenses being too tight, even with his concealment techniques and Mo'er leading the way. Since this person had the task of repairing and expanding the array, he could enter.
rán hòu lín xuān qū zhǐ yī dàn 。 yī kē huǒ qiú shè chū 。 jiāng qí shī tǐ huà wéi huī jìn le 。
然后林轩屈指一弹。一颗火球射出。将其尸体化为灰烬了。
For Lin Xuan to impersonate him would be a piece of cake. With his Heaven Devil Corpse Transformation Technique, he could easily fool a Foundation Establishment stage ghost cultivator even with his Condensation Core level strength.
yī kē quán tou dà xiǎo dì lǜ sè guāng tuán zài huǒ yàn zhōng shǎn xiàn 。 bìng xùn sù táo xiàng mén biān 。
一颗拳头大小地绿色光团在火焰中闪现。并迅速逃向门边。
However, the duration of this secret technique was limited, so he needed to act quickly.
“ hái xiǎng táo ma ？”
“还想逃吗？”
The Four Ghost Emperors were urging the expansion of the teleportation array, so the Seven Extremes Heaven cultivators worked day and night.
lín xuān lěng xiào yī shēng 。 shēn chū shǒu lái 。 xū kōng yī zhuā 。 yǐ jiāng nà guāng tuán wò zài zhǎng zhōng 。 cǐ wù zì rán shì nà bèi miè xiū shì dì yuán shén le 。
林轩冷笑一声。伸出手来。虚空一抓。已将那光团握在掌中。此物自然是那被灭修士地元神了。
Lin Xuan rested in the stone house for a while until the moon reached its zenith, signaling near the shift change. He stood up, took a hidden spirit pill, and transformed into Yi Hu's appearance using his Devilish Corpse Transformation Technique.
“ yù jiàn wǒ 。 suàn nǐ dǎo méi 。” lín xuān dàn dàn shuō le yī jù 。 rán hòu yě bù lǐ huì duì fāng dì zhēng zhá qiú ráo 。 shī yǐ sōu hún **。
“遇见我。算你倒霉。”林轩淡淡说了一句。然后也不理会对方地挣扎求饶。施以搜魂**。
Just as he finished everything, a sound transmission talisman flew into the room.
shǎo qǐng 。 lín xuān dé dào le xiǎng yào dì xiāo xī 。 wǔ zhǐ yòng lì 。 jiāng duì fāng dì yuán shén qiā xī 。
少顷。林轩得到了想要地消息。五指用力。将对方地元神掐熄。
Without needing to read it with his spiritual sense, Lin Xuan knew they were urging him to repair the array in the valley. He smirked and changed his demeanor to resemble Yi Hu closely.
jì rán gāng cái nà liǎng gè xiū shì bìng fēi zhēn xīn tóu kào yīn hún 。 lín xuān yòu zhǎo dào le tì sǐ guǐ 。 yě jiù ráo tā men yī mìng 。 ér cǐ wū bèi miè zhī rén cái shì zhēn dì zuì yǒu yīng dé 。 qī jué tiān dì sǐ zhōng zhě 。
既然刚才那两个修士并非真心投靠阴魂。林轩又找到了替死鬼。也就饶他们一命。而此屋被灭之人才是真地罪有应得。七绝天地死忠者。
Each cultivator's magical power fluctuation is unique. However, with his powerful spiritual sense and cultivation level, simulating a Foundation Establishment stage ghost cultivator was easy for Lin Xuan.
"Hmm," the stout and short cultivator nodded. "But this is just one of the reasons."
"One reason? Could it be that Master has other intentions?" The tall and thin cultivator's expression showed surprise.
"Yes, you could say so. Younger Brother, as you know, Master reached the peak of the Condensation Core stage a long time ago, but in these hundred years, he hasn't made any progress. He's been stuck at the False婴境界 for quite some time now, and his remaining lifespan is not much."
Even cultivators have limited lifespans. A cultivator at the Condensation Core stage usually lives around four or five hundred years. Even with excellent cultivation techniques, they rarely exceed six hundred years.
However, their Master was once a peer of the Extreme Demon Sovereign, so he must be quite old. Although his innate talent is outstanding and he has a Holy Spirit Root that most cultivators dream about, even during his Condensation Core stage, it didn't take much effort. But breaking through to the True婴 realm was another matter entirely.
He had failed several times in total, with only three decades left until his time came. Without any special opportunities, there would eventually be no other choice but to pass away.
"Master often says that his death is not a big deal, but he can't take revenge on his enemies; this is one of the biggest regrets in his life."
"Senior Brother, if you say so, did Master join the Seven Extremes Heaven because he discovered something that could help him break through and form an infant spirit?" Although the tall and thin cultivator was impatient by nature, he was very smart and quickly grasped the key point. He asked with a hint of skepticism.
"Don't worry; I haven't finished yet," the stout cultivator glared at his companion. "Of course it has its uses, as can be inferred from its name."
"Name? Revive Spring. Could it increase our lifespan?"
"Not bad, you guessed it right on your first try." The stout cultivator's face showed a hint of approval. "According to Master, this Revive Spring is an incredible medicinal herb. Each cultivator can only take it once in their lifetime, and the effects vary."
"Effects vary?"
"Yes. After consuming it, one's lifespan will increase by between 100 and 300 years randomly. The exact amount depends on chance and has nothing to do with one's cultivation level or innate talent," said the stout cultivator with a strange expression.
"You know, Master mentioned that although he failed three times in breaking through to the True婴 realm, he gained valuable experience. His magical power is far purer than most False婴 cultivators. Given another hundred years, forming an infant spirit would have at least a 90% chance of success. Unfortunately, his lifespan was not enough."
"Ah, even if one's luck is bad and only gains 100 more years, Master could still advance to the True婴 realm smoothly."
The tall and thin cultivator finally understood the situation. He said thoughtfully.
"Yes, that's the idea."
Has Master obtained the Revive Spring formula?
"Why ask? If we already had it, why would we stay here? It’s said that this formula is in the hands of the Great Elder of Seven Extremes Heaven," the stout cultivator sighed.
"Great Elder?" The tall and thin cultivator's eyes darted. He rubbed his chin. "Younger Brother heard some rumors. They say the Great Elder behind Seven Extremes Heaven is also a human ghost cultivator at the True婴 realm. Is it true?"
"Yes, if not for this creature’s incredible strength, Master would have stolen it openly or secretly. But we can't act rashly now. So, Younger Brother, let's not reveal any weaknesses to protect our master's interests and gain more merit."
"I understand, but the thought of serving these ghosts..."
"Small-mindedness ruins great plans," the stout cultivator urged earnestly. "Master has done so much for us; we must endure for his sake."
"Don't worry, I'll just vent my frustrations privately. I know what to do and won't mess up our master's affairs."
"That’s good."
The two then continued their conversation about trivial matters.
Seeing no more useful information, Lin Xuan slowly revealed himself from hiding. Just as he was about to act, his brow suddenly twitched as if sensing something. He moved slightly and appeared in front of another stone house a dozen paces away.
Inside the stone house, there was also a ghost cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage sitting cross-legged on a cushion.
Lin Xuan transformed into an ethereal figure and entered the stone house.
"Who's there?"
The ghost cultivator had a strong spiritual sense and reacted quickly. Unfortunately, it was too late. A red light flashed around his neck, severing his head from his body.
With Lin Xuan's current abilities, killing a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was as easy as lifting a finger. He fired a fireball at the corpse, reducing it to ashes.
A green light ball about the size of a fist appeared in the flames and quickly fled towards the door.
"Still want to run?"
Lin Xuan sneered and stretched out his hand, grasping the light ball. It was the ghost cultivator's soul.
"Bad luck to meet me," Lin Xuan said indifferently before suppressing the other's struggle with a Soul Search technique.
After a moment, he obtained the information he wanted and extinguished the ghost's soul with his fingers.
Since those two cultivators were not genuine defectors, Lin Xuan found a replacement. The person who had just been killed was truly deserving of punishment as a loyalist to Seven Extremes Heaven.
From this person's memories, Lin Xuan gained valuable information. His name was Yi Hu, and he was both a ghost cultivator and knowledgeable in阵法.
Discovering the ancient teleportation array here made the Four Ghost Emperors extremely happy. They immediately thought of sending a special force to hide deep within Youzhou to launch a surprise attack from behind. This would definitely be effective.
However, this array was too small, capable of transporting only one person at a time. Transporting many ghosts wouldn't be feasible. But that didn't matter; using it as a base, they could build a larger array for multiple transports.
The crystal iron mother in the stone house served as an expansion material.
Since ghost cultivators were unfamiliar with human teleportation arrays, some Seven Extremes Heaven cultivators were selected to complete this work.
This was one of them.
After receiving these intelligence reports, Lin Xuan was delighted. He had been worried about the valley's defenses being too tight, even with his concealment techniques and Mo'er leading the way. Since this person had the task of repairing and expanding the array, he could enter.
For Lin Xuan to impersonate him would be a piece of cake. With his Heaven Devil Corpse Transformation Technique, he could easily fool a Foundation Establishment stage ghost cultivator even with his Condensation Core level strength.
However, the duration of this secret technique was limited, so he needed to act quickly.
The Four Ghost Emperors were urging the expansion of the teleportation array, so the Seven Extremes Heaven cultivators worked day and night.
Lin Xuan rested in the stone house for a while until the moon reached its zenith, signaling near the shift change. He stood up, took a hidden spirit pill, and transformed into Yi Hu's appearance using his Devilish Corpse Transformation Technique.
Just as he finished everything, a sound transmission talisman flew into the room.
Without needing to read it with his spiritual sense, Lin Xuan knew they were urging him to repair the array in the valley. He smirked and changed his demeanor to resemble Yi Hu closely.
Each cultivator's magical power fluctuation is unique. However, with his powerful spiritual sense and cultivation level, simulating a Foundation Establishment stage ghost cultivator was easy for Lin Xuan.
