百炼成仙第三卷幽州乱第四百八十章炼宝
Upon reaching his dwelling, Lin Xuan spent a full half day to set up a room. The area was roughly one hundred zhang in circumference and he introduced the purest essence fire from the veins into it. Afterward, he called Moon to his side for detailed instructions before beginning the refinement of the treasure.
dào dòng fǔ 。 lín xuān yòu huā fèi le zú zú bàn tiān de shí jiān 。 kāi pì yī shì lái 。
到洞府。林轩又花费了足足半天的时间。开辟一室来。
It's amusing to note that after forming a golden core, most cultivators' first task is to gather materials and refine treasures. Lin Xuan was rather unique, waiting until mid-core formation before starting this process.
gāi shì miàn jī yuē yǒu bǎi zhàng yuán 。 yǐn rù le zuì wèi jīng chún de de mài zhī huǒ 。 suí hòu lín xuān yòu jiāng yuè ér jiào dào gēn qián xì xì dīng zhǔ le yī fān 。 suí hòu cái kāi shǐ fǎ bǎo de cuì liàn 。
该室面积约有百丈圆。引入了最为精纯的的脉之火。随后林轩又将月儿叫到跟前细细叮嘱了一番。随后才开始法宝的淬炼。
The required materials were all rare items from the world, none in excess. In other words, extreme caution was needed; failure meant no more attempts.
shuō lái hǎo xiào 。 pǔ tōng xiū shì níng chéng jīn dān yǐ hòu 。 suǒ yào wán chéng de dì yī jiàn shì qíng jiù shì shōu jí cái liào 。 liàn zhì fǎ bǎo 。
说来好笑。普通修士凝成金丹以后。所要完成的第一件事情就是收集材料。炼制法宝。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and formed a hand seal over his chest, entering into meditation for an entire day and night. Not only did he focus on his cultivation energy but also his mental state.
xiàng lín xuān zhè yàng bù huāng bù máng 。 yì zhí děng dào níng dān zhōng qī cái kāi shǐ liàn bǎo de kě shuō shǎo zhī yòu shǎo 。
像林轩这样不慌不忙。一直等到凝丹中期才开始炼宝的可说少之又少。
Finally, he opened his eyes and stretched out his hand, tapping the pouch. A flash of white light appeared, and a small box made of sandalwood material appeared in his palm.
dāng rán 。 yì bān de fǎ bǎo nǎ lǐ néng hé jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán xiāng bǐ 。 wèi le jīn tiān zhè yī kè 。 lín xuān bù zhī huā fèi le duō shǎo xīn xuè 。
当然。一般的法宝哪里能和九天明月环相比。为了今天这一刻。林轩不知花费了多少心血。
Several prohibitive talismans were affixed to the lid. Lin Xuan hesitated before tearing them off with his hand.
suǒ xū cái liào wú yī shì shì jiān zhēn pǐn 。 sī méi yǒu duō yú 。
所需材料无一是世间珍品。丝没有多余。
Inside was an oval stone about the size of a fist. Its surface was a pale blue, unremarkable at first glance. However, it contained an astonishing amount of fire attribute essence energy.
huàn jù huà shuō 。 xū qiān jǐn shèn wàn xiǎo xīn 。 shī bài le kě méi yǒu de fāng kū qù 。
换句话说。须千谨慎万小心。失败了可没有的方哭去。
Lin Xuan held it in his palm and poured his cultivation energy into it continuously. Soon, the stone lit up, separating to form a small figure three inches tall.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì 。 pán xī zuò hǎo 。 shuāng shǒu niē le yī dào fǎ yìn 。 fàng yú xiōng qián 。 rù dìng le zhěng zhěng yī tiān yī yè de shí jiān 。 bù zhǐ shì fǎ lì 。 hái yǒu jīng shén zhuàng tài de zhěng 。
林轩吸了口气。盘膝坐好。双手捏了一道法印。放于胸前。入定了整整一天一夜的时间。不止是法力。还有精神状态的整。
It had a tiger-like head and body, though its appearance was that of a child with a sinister expression—this was precisely the spirit of the South Bright Separating Fire.
zhōng yú 。 tā zhēng kāi le yǎn 。 shēn chū shǒu lái 。 zài wù dài shàng yī pāi 。 bái guāng yī shǎn 。 zhǎng xīn zhōng duō chū le yí gè tán mù zhì de xiǎo hé lái 。
终于。他睁开了眼。伸出手来。在物袋上一拍。白光一闪。掌心中多出了一个檀木制的小盒来。
The moment the spirit appeared, it immediately grinned at Lin Xuan. However, aside from this, there were no other means available; it was covered in thin black chains all over its body.
hé gài shàng tiē zhe jǐ zhāng jìn fú 。 lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú 。 shēn shǒu jiāng qí sī le xià lái
盒盖上贴着几张禁符。林轩略一踌躇。伸手将其撕了下来
These restraints were formed by the yin qi and resentment of the Beast Soul Flag, providing extreme suppression for South Bright Separating Fire.
hé zi lǐ miàn shì yī dà xiǎo de tuǒ yuán xíng shí tou 。 biǎo miàn chéng dàn lán sè 。 kàn shàng qù háo bù qǐ yǎn 。 rán ér lǐ miàn suǒ yùn hán de huǒ shǔ xìng líng lì 。 què jīng rén wú bǐ 。
盒子里面是一大小的椭圆形石头。表面呈淡蓝色。看上去毫不起眼。然而里面所蕴含的火属性灵力。却惊人无比。
"Hmph, still not obedient even now?"
lín xuān jiāng qí wò zài lǐ 。 hún shēn fǎ lì yuán yuán bù jué de zhù rù jìn qù 。 shǎo qǐng 。 shí tou liàng le qǐ lái 。 bìng cóng lǐ miàn fēn lí yī sān cùn lái gāo de xiǎo rén 。
林轩将其握在里。浑身法力源源不绝的注入进去。少顷。石头亮了起来。并从里面分离一三寸来高的小人。
Lin Xuan's lips curled with a hint of mockery. He extended his hand and lightly tapped it.
hǔ tóu hǔ nǎo 。 suī shì xiǎo hái xíng xiàng 。 biǎo qíng què yǒu jǐ fēn zhēng níng 。 zhèng shì nà nán míng lí huǒ de yāo líng 。
虎头虎脑。虽是小孩形象。表情却有几分狰狞。正是那南明离火的妖灵。
A green sword beam shot out from his fingertips, circling around the small figure several times before wrapping it into a cocoon.
yāo líng yī xiàn shēn 。 lì kè jiù chōng zhe lín xuān zī yá liě zuǐ 。 kě xī chú cǐ zhī wài 。 bìng méi yǒu bié de shǒu duàn zhǐ jiàn de hún shēn shàng xià dōu bù mǎn le ruò fā sī de hēi liàn 。
妖灵一现身。立刻就冲着林轩呲牙咧嘴。可惜除此之外。并没有别的手段只见的浑身上下都布满了若发丝的黑链。
Then, Lin Xuan opened his mouth and expelled a thumb-thick pillar of dan fire, which hit the green cocoon and ignited it, burning fiercely.
cǐ jìn zhì shì yóu shòu hún fān de yīn qì yǔ yuàn niàn wèi zài tǐ 。 duì yú nán míng lí huǒ lái shuō 。 yǒu zhe jí de kè zhì xiào guǒ 。
此禁制是由兽魂幡的阴气与怨念为载体。对于南明离火来说。有着极的克制效果。
The South Bright Separating Fire had produced this spirit, indicating its superior quality. However, before using it to refine a treasure, he needed to erase its intelligence.
“ hēng dōu zhè shí hòu 。 hái bù lǎo shí me ？”
“哼都这时候。还不老实么？”
Lin Xuan carefully controlled the dan fire, changing his hand seals at intervals.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè 。 shēn chū shǒu lái 。 qīng qīng yì diǎn 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色。伸出手来。轻轻一点。
This process lasted for seventy-seven days.
yī dào qīng sè de jiàn máng cóng zhǐ jiān fēi shè chū lái 。 wéi zhe nà xiǎo rén rào le yī quān yòu yī quān 。 hěn kuài jiù jiāng bāo guǒ chéng le yī cán jiǎn 。
一道青色的剑芒从指间飞射出来。围着那小人绕了一圈又一圈。很快就将包裹成了一蚕茧。
Lin Xuan's face was visibly tired; this process was extremely important and could not rely on the essence fire alone. Fortunately, as mid-core formation cultivator, he had enough cultivation energy to sustain it.
rán hòu lín xuān zhāng kāi kǒu yī dào mǔ zhǐ cū xì de dān huǒ pēn tǔ ér chū 。 zhèng hǎo dǎ zài qīng sè de cán jiǎn shàng miàn hū de yī xià jiāng qí diǎn rán 。 duàn shāo le qǐ lái 。
然后林轩张开口一道拇指粗细的丹火喷吐而出。正好打在青色的蚕茧上面忽的一下将其点燃。煅烧了起来。
"Quickly."
nán míng lí huǒ chǎn shēng le yāo líng 。 zhèng míng nǎi shì jí pǐn 。 bù guò yòng qí liàn zhì fǎ bǎo zhī qián yào xiān jiāng zhì mǒ qù 。
南明离火产生了妖灵。证明乃是极品。不过用其炼制法宝之前要先将智抹去。
Lin Xuan retracted the dan fire and extended his hand, casting a spell. The green sword beam gradually faded before dissipating, revealing the spirit's true form again.
lín xuān xiǎo xīn kòng zhì zhe dān 。 měi guò yī duàn shí jiān 。 shuāng shǒu jiù biàn huàn yī cì fǎ yìn 。
林轩小心控制着丹。每过一段时间。双手就变幻一次法印。
Its eyes were tightly shut, unconscious.
zhè yī liàn 。 jiù shì qī qī shí jiǔ tiān 。
这一炼。就是七七十九天。
Satisfied with the result, Lin Xuan waved his left hand, sending out a light ray that lifted the blue stone and brought it to his face.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì pí juàn 。 zhè ge guò chéng jí qí zhòng yào 。 bìng bù néng yòng de mài zhī huǒ 。 hǎo zài tā yǐ shì níng dān zhōng qī de xiū shì 。 fǒu zé fǎ lì néng fǒu jiān chí hái shì yí gè wèn tí 。
林轩的脸上也满是疲倦。这个过程极其重要。并不能用的脉之火。好在他已是凝丹中期的修士。否则法力能否坚持还是一个问题。
Lin Xuan looked up, then quickly gathered his hands in the middle.
lín xuān jiāng dān huǒ yī shōu 。 shēn chū shǒu yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。 qīng sè de jiàn máng zhú jiàn biàn dàn 。 zuì hòu kuì sàn 。 chóng xīn xiàn chū le nà yāo líng de běn tǐ
林轩将丹火一收。伸出手一道法诀打出。青色的剑芒逐渐变淡。最后溃散。重新现出了那妖灵的本体
The spirit and the stone were drawn together, colliding. Then, a brilliant light shone, emitting seven colors of rainbow mist—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
zhǐ jiàn shuāng móu jǐn bì 。 shì bù shěng 。
只见双眸紧闭。事不省。
Sweat trickled down Lin Xuan's forehead as he appeared exhausted but did not slacken his efforts. His fingers danced rapidly, injecting spell after spell.
lín xuān mǎn yì de diǎn le diǎn tóu 。 zhè liàn huà de guò chéng méi yǒu chū cuò zuǒ shǒu yī fú yī dào guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū 。 jiāng nà lán sè de shí tou tuō le qǐ lái fēi zhì miàn qián 。
林轩满意的点了点头。这炼化的过程没有出错左手一拂一道光霞飞掠而出。将那蓝色的石头托了起来飞至面前。
Boom.
lín xuān tái tóu kàn le yī yǎn 。 rán shuāng shǒu měng - zhōng jiān yī shōu 。
林轩抬头看了一眼。然双手猛-中间一收。
The rainbow light grew brighter before suddenly bursting apart. Lin Xuan's face changed dramatically, but his reaction was swift. A shield formed in front of him.
“ hé 。”
“合。”
While the essence energy shield provided no defense, the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield was another matter entirely.
yāo líng yǔ shí tou bèi qiān yǐn zhe 。 zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。 jiē zhe líng guāng dà shèng 。 chì chéng huáng lǜ qīng lán zǐ 。 jìng rán bào shè chū le qī cǎi de xiá wù 。
妖灵与石头被牵引着。撞在了一起。接着灵光大盛。赤橙黄绿青蓝紫。竟然爆射出了七彩的霞雾。
Terrifying essence energy formed like a storm and surged towards them, engulfing Lin Xuan quickly. Fortunately, it dissipated just as fast, causing no harm.
lín xuān de é tóu shèn chū xì mì de hàn dī 。 sì hū xīn kǔ yǐ jí 。 dàn tā què sī háo bù gǎn yǒu xiè dài zhī yì 。 shí zhǐ dàn tiào bù yǐ 。 yī dào yī dào de fǎ jué zhù rù jìn qù 。
林轩的额头渗出细密的汗滴。似乎辛苦以极。但他却丝毫不敢有懈怠之意。十指弹跳不已。一道一道的法诀注入进去。
However, its residual effects left the surroundings in ruins. But Lin Xuan paid no mind to this. With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew away the dust.
hōng 。
轰。
A transparent stone floated in mid-air.
nà xiá guāng yuè lái yuè shèng 。 tū rán bào liè le kāi lái 。 lín xuān liǎn sè dà biàn 。 dàn fǎn yìng què sī háo bù màn 。 xīn niàn yī dòng 。 yī céng zhào jiù dǎng zài le tā de shēn qián 。
那霞光越来越盛。突然爆裂了开来。林轩脸色大变。但反应却丝毫不慢。心念一动。一层罩就挡在了他的身前。
Completely blue and deep like the ocean, it was more captivating than diamonds. However, even more bizarrely, within its crystal structure, flickering red light appeared—this was the true form of South Bright Separating Fire.
líng lì hù dùn de fáng yù bù zhí yī tí 。 dàn jiǔ tiān líng dùn què shì lìng wài yī huí shì 。
灵力护盾的防御不值一提。但九天灵盾却是另外一回事。
Lin Xuan summoned it back to his palm with a wave, showing an expression of sheer joy. This item would be considered rare in the Spirit Realm; the power of the treasure he refined could only be imagined.
kě pà de líng qì rú fēng bào bān chéng xíng 。 xiàng jīng tāo hài làng bān de měng pū ér zhì 。 yī xià jiāng lín xuān yān mò hǎo zài lái de kuài qù de yě kuài 。 bìng méi yǒu zào chéng shén me shāng hài 。
可怕的灵气如风暴般成形。像惊涛骇浪般的猛扑而至。一下将林轩淹没好在来的快去的也快。并没有造成什么伤害。
With the main ingredient processed, the next steps were relatively simpler.
dǎo shì líng qì yú bō jiāng sì dǎ dī qiān chuāng bǎi kǒng 。 bù guò lín xuān zì rán bú huì zài yì zhè ge 。 zhǐ jiàn tā yī fú 。 yī dào kuáng fēng jiāng yáng qǐ de huī chén chuī zǒu 。
倒是灵气余波将四打的千疮百孔。不过林轩自然不会在意这个。只见他一拂。一道狂风将扬起的灰尘吹走。
Lin Xuan tapped his storage pouch, and a small ancient bronze tripod flew up, spinning to increase in size.
zhǐ jiàn yī tòu míng de shí tou xuán fú zài kōng zhōng 。
只见一透明的石头悬浮在空中。
Its entire body was purple with deep luster—precisely the Purple Dragon Cauldron.
tōng tǐ chéng lán sè 。 xiàng dà yī yàng shēn suì 。 bǐ zuàn shí gèng jiā xī yǐn rén de yǎn zhū 。 rán ér gèng jiā guǐ yì de shì 。 zài cǐ jīng tǐ nèi bù 。 yǒu yī huǒ yàn bān de hóng guāng hū míng hū àn 。 shǎn shuò bù yǐ 。 zhè cái shì nán míng lí zhēn miàn mù 。
通体呈蓝色。像大一样深邃。比钻石更加吸引人的眼珠。然而更加诡异的是。在此晶体内部。有一火焰般的红光忽明忽暗。闪烁不已。这才是南明离真面目。
The method for refining the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring differed greatly from that of ordinary treasures. It seemed almost like an alternative path. When Lin Xuan first saw it in the Jade Scroll of the Nine Heavens Profound Technique, he was skeptical.
lín xuān shǒu yī zhāo 。 fēi huí le zhǎng xīn 。 liǎn shàng liú lù chū xǐ bù zì jīn de biǎo qíng 。 zhè dōng xī 。 biàn shì zài líng jiè 。 yě jué duì néng suàn zhēn xī zhī wù 。 yòng liàn zhì chū lái de fǎ bǎo wēi néng 。 kě xiǎng ér zhī le 。
林轩手一招。飞回了掌心。脸上流露出喜不自禁的表情。这东西。便是在灵界。也绝对能算珍稀之物。用炼制出来的法宝威能。可想而知了。
After repeated contemplation, however, he marveled at its complexity. Unlike alchemy, it resembled refining elixirs more closely.
zhǔ yuán liào yǐ jīng chǔ lǐ wán bì 。 jiē xià lái de bù zhòu xiāng duì lái shuō 。 jiù yào jiǎn dān de duō 。
主原料已经处理完毕。接下来的步骤相对来说。就要简单的多。
For Lin Xuan, this was undoubtedly a blessing. His proficiency with refining elixirs far exceeded his skills in crafting treasures.
lín xuān zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi 。 yī gǔ sè gǔ xiāng de xiǎo dǐng fēi le qǐ lái 。 dī liū liū yī zhuǎn 。 dùn shí biàn dà le yī quān 。
林轩在储物袋上一拍。一古色古香的小鼎飞了起来。滴溜溜一转。顿时变大了一圈。
Of course, the basic principles were similar, but there were subtle differences that required careful attention.
tōng tǐ zǐ sè 。 sàn fà zhe shēn de guāng zé 。 zhèng shì nà zǐ lóng dǐng bǎo wù 。
通体紫色。散发着深的光泽。正是那紫龙鼎宝物。
Lin Xuan sat quietly for a moment before casting another spell to summon the essence fire. The red flames danced under his control, forming into a fierce dragon a dozen feet long, enveloping the purple cauldron and beginning to preheat it.
shuō qǐ zhè jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán de liàn zhì zhī fǎ 。 yě yǔ yì bān de fǎ bǎo dà xiāng jìng tíng 。 shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō shì lìng pì xī jìng 。 lín xuān dì yī cì zài jiǔ tiān xuán gōng de yù tǒng jiǎn zhōng kàn dào shí 。 hái huái yí qǐ le zì jǐ de yǎn jīng 。
说起这九天明月环的炼制之法。也与一般的法宝大相径庭。甚至可以说是另辟蹊径。林轩第一次在九天玄功的玉筒简中看到时。还怀疑起了自己的眼睛。
Lin Xuan did not immediately proceed; instead, he watched silently until everything was in order. Then, tapping his storage pouch again, he saw multiple types of celestial materials flash before him.
hòu lái fǎn fù zhuó mó 。 què xiē tàn wéi guān zhǐ le 。 bù xiàng liàn qì 。 fǎn dào yǒu diǎn lèi sì yú liàn dān 。
后来反复琢磨。却些叹为观止了。不像炼器。反倒有点类似于炼丹。
Lin Xuan sighed as he looked at these items. Although they were merely auxiliary materials, gathering them had taken a considerable amount of effort and resources.
duì lín xuān lái shuō 。 què wú yí shì yí gè fú yīn 。 xiāng duì liàn qì ér yán 。 tā liàn dān shù de zào yì yào shēn de duō 。
对林轩来说。却无疑是一个福音。相对炼器而言。他炼丹术的造诣要深的多。
With a flick of his finger, an unknown green crystal appeared in his hand.
dāng rán 。 yě shì dà tǐ xiāng tóng 。 zhōng jiān hái yǒu yī xiē xì wēi chā bié xū yào xì xì bǎ wò 。
当然。也是大体相同。中间还有一些细微差别需要细细把握。
Lin Xuan clasped his hands together, holding the crystal in his palm. He used inner vision to slowly mobilize the blue starlight within him. Soon, the azure light transformed into a stream that flowed along his meridians and towards his palm.
lín xuān jìng zuò le piàn kè 。 rán hòu yòu shì yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。 yǐn chū le de mài zhī huǒ 。 zhǐ jiàn hóng sè de huǒ yàn 。 zài tā de cāo kòng xià 。 fān gǔn gè bù tíng 。 zuì hòu huà wèi le yī tóu zhàng xǔ cū de zhēng níng huǒ lóng 。 bāo guǒ zhù le zǐ dǐng 。 kāi shǐ yù rè 。
林轩静坐了片刻。然后又是一道法诀打出。引出了的脉之火。只见红色的火焰。在他的操控下。翻滚个不停。最后化为了一头丈许粗的狰狞火龙。包裹住了紫鼎。开始预热。
His special ability extended beyond elixirs; naturally, purifying these crafting materials was much more challenging. Lin Xuan did not expect their quality to improve significantly but believed that removing some impurities would enhance the power of the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring slightly.
Upon reaching his dwelling, Lin Xuan spent a full half day to set up a room. The area was roughly one hundred zhang in circumference and he introduced the purest essence fire from the veins into it. Afterward, he called Moon to his side for detailed instructions before beginning the refinement of the treasure.
