更妙的是,由于是采用将灵力注入圆球的方式,所以想要隐瞒多少修为可以自己控制,多注入一点,留在经脉与丹田中的灵力越少,修为看起来也就越低,反之也是一样的道理。
More impressively, since the method involved injecting spirit energy into a ball, how much cultivation to conceal could be controlled. The more spirit energy injected, the less remained in his meridians and dantian, making his cultivation appear lower. Conversely, the more he concealed, the higher his actual cultivation would seem.
lín xuān shì le yī xià , zuì duō zì jǐ kě yǐ zhù rù bǎi fēn zhī jiǔ shí de líng lì , zhè yàng bié rén tàn cè de huà , jiù huì wù rèn wèi zì jǐ shì líng dòng qī dì yī céng de xiū shì 。
林轩试了一下,最多自己可以注入百分之九十的灵力,这样别人探测的话,就会误认为自己是灵动期第一层的修士。
Lin Xuan tried it out and found that he could inject up to 90% of his spirit energy. This way, others probing him would mistakenly believe he was a first-layer practitioner of the Flexible Spirit Period.
dàn bù guǎn lín xuān zěn me nǔ lì , dōu bù néng jiāng suǒ yǒu de líng lì quán bù yǐn cáng , rén bù néng tān xīn , zhè yàng de jié guǒ , tā yǐ jīng hěn mǎn zú 。
但不管林轩怎么努力,都不能将所有的灵力全部隐藏,人不能贪心,这样的结果,他已经很满足。
Despite his efforts, Lin Xuan couldn't completely hide all his spirit energy. He was content with this result. Lying in bed, he began pondering the benefits that the green liquid extracted from Red Silk Grass could bring. First and foremost, it would help conceal his cultivation so his fellow sect members wouldn’t discover him. This would eliminate any worries about accidental exposure and its severe consequences.
tǎng zài chuáng shàng , lín xuān kāi shǐ sī suǒ hóng líng cǎo tí chún chū lái de lǜ yè kě yǐ dài gěi zì jǐ de hǎo chù , dì yī , dāng rán shì yǐn cáng xiū wèi bù bèi tóng mén fā xiàn le , zhè yàng jiù miǎn chú le zì jǐ de hòu gù zhī yōu , bù yòng dān xīn yì wài bào lù cóng ér kě néng yǐn fā de yán zhòng hòu guǒ 。
躺在床上,林轩开始思索红绫草提纯出来的绿液可以带给自己的好处,第一,当然是隐藏修为不被同门发现了,这样就免除了自己的后顾之忧,不用担心意外暴露从而可能引发的严重后果。
Secondly, even during battles, this technique was quite helpful. The ball concealed spirit energy but didn't affect his spellcasting. Opponents might underestimate him, thinking he was just a low-level first-layer practitioner. In combat, they might not activate their spirit shields, allowing Lin Xuan to suddenly unleash powerful spells and catch them off guard.
dì èr , jí shǐ zài zhàn dòu zhōng yě dà yǒu bāng zhù , yuán yīn wú tā , kě yǐ ràng duì fāng qīng dí a , yuán qiú yǐn cáng líng lì , què bú huì yǐng xiǎng zì jǐ shī fǎ , duì fāng yǐ wéi zì jǐ zhǐ shì dì yī céng gōng fǎ de dī jiē xiū shì , dǎ dòu de shí hòu , shuō bù dìng lián líng lì hù dùn yě bù kāi , rán hòu zì jǐ tū rán shǐ chū lì hài de fǎ shù lái , chèn qí bù bèi , fā dòng tōu xí 。
第二,即使在战斗中也大有帮助,原因无他,可以让对方轻敌啊,圆球隐藏灵力,却不会影响自己施法,对方以为自己只是第一层功法的低阶修士,打斗的时候,说不定连灵力护盾也不开,然后自己突然使出厉害的法术来,趁其不备,发动偷袭。
Of course, there were still some issues to address. The effects of the green liquid had a time limit, so he needed to figure out how long it would take for the ball to disappear. He could experiment with this in the future.
dāng rán , hái yǒu yī xiē wèn tí bì xū nòng qīng chǔ , lǜ yè de yào xiào kěn dìng yǒu shí jiān xiàn zhì , chǎn shēng de yuán qiú duō jiǔ huì xiāo shī , zhè ge kě yǐ jiē xià lái màn màn cháng shì 。
当然,还有一些问题必须弄清楚,绿液的药效肯定有时间限制,产生的圆球多久会消失,这个可以接下来慢慢尝试。
Not just Red Silk Grass, but the successful purification also held greater significance. It showed that blue light points weren’t limited to enhancing medicinal pills; they worked on various plants and herbs as well. This was what excited Lin Xuan most.
qí shí bù zhǐ shì hóng líng cǎo , zhè cì tí chún chéng gōng hái yǒu gèng dà de yì yì , shuō míng lán sè guāng diǎn bù jǐn jǐn shì duì dān yào yǒu xiào , duì gè zhǒng zhí wù , yào cái yī yàng yǒu tí chún de xiào guǒ , zhè cái shì zuì ràng lín xuān xīng fèn de 。
其实不止是红绫草,这次提纯成功还有更大的意义,说明蓝色光点不仅仅是对丹药有效,对各种植物,药材一样有提纯的效果,这才是最让林轩兴奋的。
With so many benefits, Lin Xuan felt more confident about his cultivation progress!
hǎo chù duō duō , duì yú xiū xiān , lín xuān yòu duō le yī fèn bǎ wò !
好处多多,对于修仙,林轩又多了一份把握!
After resting for a while until his Star Sea returned to normal, Lin Xuan resumed the purification process. With the technique mastered, purifying Red Silk Grass was actually easier than medicinal pills.
xiū xī le yī huì er , děng tǐ nèi de xīng hǎi huī fù yuán yàng , lín xuān yòu chóng xīn ( diàn nǎo yuè kāi shǐ le tí chún , zhǐ yào zhǎng wò le jì qiǎo , hóng líng cǎo qí shí bǐ dān yào de tí chún gèng jiā róng yì 。
休息了一会儿,等体内的星海恢复原样,林轩又重新(电脑阅开始了提纯,只要掌握了技巧,红绫草其实比丹药的提纯更加容易。
Spending an entire night, he purified all the herbs in the bamboo basket and obtained three full bottles of liquid. Since just a small amount could form a spirit energy ball inside him, these three bottles would last for a long time.
huā le zhěng zhěng yī yè de shí jiān , lín xuān jiāng nà zhú lán lǐ de cǎo yào quán bù tí chún le chū lái , yī gòng dé dào le mǎn mǎn sān píng yè tǐ , yóu yú zhǐ xū yào hē xià yì diǎn diǎn , jiù kě yǐ zài tǐ nèi xíng chéng bāo guǒ líng lì de yuán qiú , suǒ yǐ zhè sān píng lǜ yè yǐ jīng zú gòu zì jǐ yòng hǎo jiǔ 。
花了整整一夜的时间,林轩将那竹篮里的草药全部提纯了出来,一共得到了满满三瓶液体,由于只需要喝下一点点,就可以在体内形成包裹灵力的圆球,所以这三瓶绿液已经足够自己用好久。
With no worries, Lin Xuan’s training became even more rigorous. He wasn’t satisfied with reaching the later stages of the Flexible Spirit Period; he had only mastered the fifth layer so far and needed to push his cultivation further.
méi yǒu le hòu gù zhī yōu , lín xuān de xiū liàn yuè jiā kè kǔ , tā bìng méi yǒu yīn wèi xiū wèi dào dá líng dòng qī hòu qī jiù mǎn zú , xiàn zài zì jǐ bù guò shì gāng gāng liàn chéng dì wǔ céng gōng fǎ ér yǐ , jiē xià lái yào xiàng gèng gāo de céng cì fā qǐ chōng jī 。
没有了后顾之忧,林轩的修炼越加刻苦,他并没有因为修为到达灵动期后期就满足,现在自己不过是刚刚练成第五层功法而已,接下来要像更高的层次发起冲击。
Lin Xuan was not impatient but realized that this trip truly highlighted the importance of cultivation. He was still too weak, so he needed to work harder.
bìng fēi lín xuān xīn jí , ér shì zhè cì chū xíng zhēn de ràng tā tǐ huì dào le xiū wèi cái shì yìng dào lǐ , zì jǐ hái shì tài ruò le yī xiē , bì xū gèng jiā kè kǔ nǔ lì 。
并非林轩心急,而是这次出行真的让他体会到了修为才是硬道理,自己还是太弱了一些,必须更加刻苦努力。

bié de xiān bù shuō , jiù shuō zhè cì qù líng yún mén de mù dì shì wèi le dé dào líng kòng shù , kě dāng zhōng jiē gōng fǎ dào shǒu yǐ hòu , lín xuān cái fā xiàn yǔ zì jǐ yù xiǎng de bù tóng 。
别的先不说,就说这次去凌云门的目的是为了得到灵控术,可当中阶功法到手以后,林轩才发现与自己预想的不同。
The purpose of going to Lingyun Sect was to obtain spirit control techniques. However, after acquiring a middle-layer technique, Lin Xuan discovered it was different from his expectations.
xiǎng yào xué xí líng kòng shù , zhì shǎo yào líng dòng qī dì liù céng de shí lì !
想要学习灵控术,至少要灵动期第六层的实力!
To learn spirit control, one needed at least the sixth layer of the Flexible Spirit Period!
zhè shì yóu yú , yòng líng kòng shù cāo zòng líng qì , duì fǎ lì de xiāo hào gèng kuài , xiū wèi ruò le , gēn běn jiù zhī chí bú zhù , suǒ yǐ dì liù céng shì zuì jī běn de yāo qiú 。
这是由于,用灵控术操纵灵器,对法力的消耗更快,修为弱了,根本就支持不住,所以第六层是最基本的要求。
This was because using spirit control on spiritual artifacts consumed more mana; weaker practitioners couldn't sustain it. Therefore, the sixth layer was the minimum requirement.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ jǔ sàng , xiān jiā qiáng shí lì yě hǎo , gēn jī zhā shí , líng qì yě néng fā huī chū gèng dà de wēi lì 。
林轩并没有因此沮丧,先加强实力也好,根基扎实,灵器也能发挥出更大的威力。
Lin Xuan wasn’t discouraged by this. Strengthening himself first would solidify his foundation and allow him to better utilize his spiritual artifacts.
jiē xià lái de shí jiān , lín xuān xiān huā fèi le bàn gè yuè tí chún dān yào , jìn rù líng dòng hòu qī yǐ lái , lán guāng tǐ jī kuò dà , tí chún de chéng gōng lǜ yě wěn bù zēng jiā , suǒ yǐ suī rán tóng shàng cì yī yàng , yě shì bàn gè yuè , dàn què dé dào le gèng duō de dān yào , yóu qí shì zhōng pǐn dān xǐ suǐ dān , jiù yǒu liù shí yú kē , yǐ bì guān yí gè yuè zuò wéi jì huà , měi tiān kě yǐ fú liǎng dào sān lì 。
接下来的时间,林轩先花费了半个月提纯丹药,进入灵动后期以来,蓝光体积扩大,提纯的成功率也稳步增加,所以虽然同上次一样,也是半个月,但却得到了更多的丹药,尤其是中品丹洗髓丹,就有六十余颗,以闭关一个月作为计划,每天可以服两到三粒。
For the next period of time, Lin Xuan spent half a month purifying medicinal pills. Since entering the later stages of the Flexible Spirit Period, the blue light’s volume had increased, boosting the success rate of purification. Although it took another half month as before, he obtained more medicinal pills, especially middle-grade Essence Cleansing Pills—over sixty in total. With one month planned for seclusion, he could consume two to three pills daily.
yí gè yuè hòu , lín xuān chū guān , dàn liǎn shàng què kàn bù chū xǐ nù , yī yán bù fā , zhí jiē lái dào cún chǔ fèi dān de cāng kù , shōu guā le yī pī zhī hòu , yòu huí dào qǐ jū shì , jǐn bì fáng mén , xiè jué wài kè 。
一个月后,林轩出关,但脸上却看不出喜怒,一言不发,直接来到存储废丹的仓库,收刮了一批之后,又回到起居室,紧闭房门,谢绝外客。
After a month, Lin Xuan emerged from his seclusion, showing no expression and silently heading to the warehouse where waste pills were stored. After gathering a batch, he returned to his living room, closing the door tightly and refusing visitors.
yòu yí gè yuè guò qù le , lín xuān zài cì chū lái , rán ér jǐn jǐn shì xiū xī le bú dào yī tiān , jiù yòu zài dù bì guān 。
又一个月过去了,林轩再次出来,然而仅仅是休息了不到一天,就又再度闭关。
Another month passed before Lin Xuan reappeared, but after resting for less than a day, he closed himself back into seclusion.
zhào míng děng tóng zi jīng è bù yǐ , duì yú lín xuān pèi fú dé wǔ tǐ tóu dì , bì jìng néng lián xù zài wū zi lǐ shuì lǎn jiào shuì shàng shù yuè zhī jiǔ , hái bù gǎn jué yàn fán de , chú le yǎn qián zhè wèi xiān shī , zài yě zhǎo bù chū qí tā rén lái 。
赵明等童子惊愕不已,对于林轩佩服得五体投地,毕竟能连续在屋子里睡懒觉睡上数月之久,还不感觉厌烦的,除了眼前这位仙师,再也找不出其他人来。
Zhao Ming and the boys were astonished. They admired Lin Xuan so much that they could hardly believe their eyes; only this immortal master, who could sleep for months without getting tired, could do such a thing.
méi yǒu sī háo huái yí , zhè yě dé yì yú lín xuān gōng yú xīn jì , píng shí zhuāng chū lái de lǎn duò xíng xiàng shēn rù rén xīn , zhōu wéi suǒ yǒu de rén dōu bèi tā piàn le guò qù 。
没有丝毫怀疑,这也得益于林轩攻于心计,平时装出来的懒惰形象深入人心,周围所有的人都被他骗了过去。
There was no doubt about it, thanks to Lin Xuan’s cunning. His usual lazy appearance had deeply ingrained itself in everyone around him, and he had deceived them all.
jiù zhè yàng , zhěng zhěng huā le sān gè yuè de shí jiān , lín xuān cái zhèng shì jié shù le bì guān xiū liàn 。
就这样,整整花了三个月的时间,林轩才正式结束了闭关修炼。
Thus, over three months, Lin Xuan finally ended his seclusion.
gōng fu bù fù yǒu xīn rén , zài wú shù líng dān yǐ jí lín xuān de fēng kuáng nǔ lì ( diàn nǎo yuè dú xià , tā zhōng yú liàn chéng le dì liù chéng gōng fǎ 。
功夫不负有心人,在无数灵丹以及林轩的疯狂努力(电脑阅读下,他终于练成了第六成功法。
Hard work paid off; with countless medicinal pills and his relentless efforts, he finally mastered the sixth-layer technique.
huí xiǎng zhè sān gè yuè de shēng huó , jiù suàn shì yǐ lín xuān de fēi fán yì lì , yě yǒu xiē xīn yǒu yú jì , zì jǐ jī hū shì bù xiū bù mián , měi tiān shuì le bú dào yí gè shí chén de shí jiān , shèng xià de , chú le dǎ zuò , jiù shì liàn qì 。
回想这三个月的生活,就算是以林轩的非凡毅力,也有些心有余悸,自己几乎是不休不眠,每天睡了不到一个时辰的时间,剩下的,除了打坐,就是练气。

凌云诀的大周天循环,非常消耗精力,起初,自己做一遍也累得身心俱疲,可即使手指头都不想动了,还是没有休息,继续咬牙坚持,现在,每天也可以做上九遍。
Reflecting on these past three months, even with his extraordinary willpower, Lin Xuan still felt a bit shaken. He had almost no rest, sleeping less than an hour each day, spending the rest of his time in meditation or qi cultivation.
xiū wèi néng gòu yī rì qiān lǐ , jué bù jǐn jǐn shì yǐ * líng dān de yào lì , lín xuān běn shēn de fù chū , yě shì hěn zhòng yào de yuán yīn zhī yī 。
修为能够一日千里,绝不仅仅是倚*灵丹的药力,林轩本身的付出,也是很重要的原因之一。
The Lingyun Art's grand circulation was extremely demanding. Initially, he would be exhausted after one round, but even when too tired to move, he continued to persevere. Now, he could perform nine rounds daily.
rán ér yǔ shàng yī cì chū guān bù tóng , lín xuān gāng gāng tū pò dì wǔ céng shí , zhěng gè rén dōu sàn fà zhe dàn dàn de líng lì , yī kàn jiù shì xiū wèi bù fán de yàng zi , kě xiàn zài , tā què xiǎn de háo bù qǐ yǎn , zhěng gè rén wú jīng dǎ cǎi de yàng zi 。
然而与上一次出关不同,林轩刚刚突破第五层时,整个人都散发着淡淡的灵力,一看就是修为不凡的样子,可现在,他却显得毫不起眼,整个人无精打采的样子。
His cultivation had improved dramatically, not just due to the medicinal pills’ effects but also because of his own hard work.
dāng rán , zhè kě bú shì yīn wèi lín xuān liàn gōng tài guò láo lèi de yuán gù , suī rán zhè jǐ gè yuè què shí xīn kǔ , dàn zài chū guān yǐ qián , lín xuān yǐ jīng hǎo hǎo shuì le yī jiào , tǐ lì yǔ fǎ lì dōu yǐ jīng huī fù dào zuì jiā zhuàng tài 。
当然,这可不是因为林轩练功太过劳累的缘故,虽然这几个月确实辛苦,但在出关以前,林轩已经好好睡了一觉,体力与法力都已经恢复到最佳状态。
Unlike his previous seclusion, Lin Xuan now appeared unremarkable, looking listless and weak. This wasn’t because of excessive exertion; although this period was indeed tough, he had fully recovered before emerging from seclusion.
zhè fù wú jīng dǎ cǎi de yàng zi shì lín xuān gù yì zhuāng chū lái , tóng shí tā hái hē le hóng líng cǎo tí chún chū lái de lǜ yè , xiū wèi nèi liǎn , bié shuō pǔ tōng de zhǎng lǎo dì zǐ , lín xuān xiāng xìn , jiù suàn shì zhàn zài zhǎng mén yún hè zhēn rén de miàn qián , zhè wèi níng dān qī de dà gāo shǒu , yě huì bèi piàn , yǐ wéi zì jǐ zhǐ shì líng dòng qī dì yī céng de xiū wèi 。
这副无精打采的样子是林轩故意装出来,同时他还喝了红绫草提纯出来的绿液,修为内敛,别说普通的长老弟子,林轩相信,就算是站在掌门云鹤真人的面前,这位凝丹期的大高手,也会被骗,以为自己只是灵动期第一层的修为。
This appearance was part of a deliberate act by Lin Xuan, who also drank the green liquid extracted from Red Silk Grass to conceal his cultivation. Even if standing in front of Senior Master Cloud Crane, a powerful condensation core practitioner, he would be deceived into believing he was only at the first layer of the Flexible Spirit Period.
“ xiān shī !” kàn jiàn lín xuān zhōng yú cóng fáng jiān lǐ chū lái , zhào míng děng tóng zi lián máng gōng shēn xíng lǐ 。
“仙师!”看见林轩终于从房间里出来,赵明等童子连忙躬身行礼。
"Immortal Master!" Seeing Lin Xuan finally emerge from his room, Zhao Ming and the boys immediately bowed deeply.
“ ń , nǐ men gè zì máng ba , bù yòng guǎn wǒ 。”
“嗯,你们各自忙吧,不用管我。”
"Hmm, go about your business; don’t worry about me."
lín xuān zǒu chū dà yuàn , xiàng zhe wài miàn ér qù le , suī rán liàn chéng dì liù céng gōng fǎ , kě yǐ xiū liàn líng kòng shù le , dàn bì guān le zhè me jiǔ , lín xuān xiǎng chū qù zǒu zǒu , tā liàn gōng suī rán kè kǔ , dàn yě dǒng de láo yì jié hé , xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ , xiān shāo wēi xiū xī jǐ tiān hǎo le 。
林轩走出大院,向着外面而去了,虽然练成第六层功法,可以修炼灵控术了,但闭关了这么久,林轩想出去走走,他练功虽然刻苦,但也懂得劳逸结合,心急吃不了热豆腐,先稍微休息几天好了。
Lin Xuan walked out of the courtyard towards the outside. Although he had mastered the sixth-layer technique, allowing him to practice spirit control, he wanted to take a walk after such a long seclusion. He understood the importance of balancing work and rest, so taking a few days off would be good.
More impressively, since the method involved injecting spirit energy into a ball, how much cultivation to conceal could be controlled. The more spirit energy injected, the less remained in his meridians and dantian, making his cultivation appear lower. Conversely, the more he concealed, the higher his actual cultivation would seem.
