lín xuān yǎn jīng yī mī ， zhè jiā huo yě tài guò méi yǒu gǔ qì ， yī dào qīng xiá tán shè ér chū 。
林轩眼睛一眯，这家伙也太过没有骨气，一道青霞弹射而出。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed. This guy was too spineless. A streak of green lightning shot out.
níng jiā shǎo zhǔ dà jù ， rán ér duǒ bì yǐ jīng lái bù jí 。
宁家少主大惧，然而躲避已经来不及。
The Ning Family Young Master was greatly terrified, but it was already too late to dodge. The green lightning struck his body, and he felt the world spinning. His spiritual energy seemed to be trapped.
qīng xiá xí tǐ ， tā zhǐ jué tiān xuán dì zhuàn ， hún shēn de fǎ lì fǎng fú bèi jìn gù yì bān 。
青霞袭体，他只觉天旋地转，浑身的法力仿佛被禁锢一般。
Such an easy victory surprised Lin Xuan a bit. He raised his left hand and pulled the other party towards him.
rú cǐ qīng yì dé shǒu ， dào ràng yào xuān yǒu xiē yì wài ， tā zuǒ shǒu yī tái ， jiāng duì fāng xī le guò lái 。
如此轻易得手，倒让要轩有些意外，他左手一抬，将对方吸了过来。
Lin Xuan would not show mercy when dealing with enemies; he directly searched their soul, which was both simple and efficient.
duì dài dí rén ， yào xuān kě bù huì xīn cí shǒu ruǎn ， zhí jiē sōu hún ， shěng shì yòu jiǎn dān 。
对待敌人，要轩可不会心慈手软，直接搜魂，省事又简单。
After about a cup of tea's time, Lin Xuan finally let go, closed his eyes, and began toorganize his thoughts.
zú zú guò le yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān ， lín xuān cái jiāng duì fāng fàng kāi ， bì shàng shuāng móu ， kāi shǐ zhěng lǐ qǐ nǎo hǎi zhōng de sī xù 。
足足过了一盏茶的时间，林轩才将对方放开，闭上双眸，开始整理起脑海中的思绪。
He hadn't expected that this Corpse Demon was actually the Ning Family’s former patriarch and had intricate ties with one of the Nine Great Forces: Heavenly Corpse Sect.
méi xiǎng dào zhè shī mó ， jū rán shì níng jiā qián dài lǎo zǔ ， ér qiě yǔ jiǔ dà shì lì zhōng de tiān shī mén yǒu zhe qiān sī wàn lǚ de jiū gé 。
没想到这尸魔，居然是宁家前代老祖，而且与九大势力中的天尸门有着千丝万缕的纠葛。
Of course, Lin Xuan wasn’t afraid. He didn’t even consider a small Ning Family worth mentioning.
dāng rán ， lín xuān bìng bù wèi jù ， xiǎo xiǎo de níng jiā zì jǐ hái bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。
当然，林轩并不畏惧，小小的宁家自己还不放在眼里。
Looking at the unconscious Ning Family Young Master, Lin Xuan directly shot out a fireball to turn him into ashes.
kàn le yī yǎn hūn mí bù xǐng de níng jiā shǎo zhǔ ， lín xuān zhí jiē yī lì huǒ tán shè chū jiāng tā huà wéi huī jìn 。
看了一眼昏迷不醒的宁家少主，林轩直接一粒火弹射出将他化为灰烬。
Before that, he naturally took off his storage bag and put it aside.
dāng rán zài cǐ zhī qián ， chǔ wù dài zì rán yào qǔ xià fàng dào yī biān 。
当然在此之前，储物袋自然要取下放到一边。
This was a significantharvest. The Corpse Demon’s collection was not to be mentioned; the half-lifetime savings of three Condensation Core cultivators also made him a bit richer.
zhè yī huí kě shì dà shōu huò ， shī mó de shōu cáng zì bù bì shuō ， sān wèi níng dān xiū shì de bàn shēng jī xù yě ràng zì jǐ fā le yī bǐ xiǎo cái 。
这一回可是大收获，尸魔的收藏自不必说，三位凝丹修士的半生积蓄也让自己发了一笔小财。
Lin Xuan entered the training room. He sat cross-legged and first adjusted his breathing for a moment, then took out two treasures from his storage bag.
suí hòu lín xuān dǎ liàng qǐ shī mó cháo xué ， píng xīn lái shuō dào yě kuān chǎng ， dàn lín xuān bìng bù dǎ suàn zhù zài zhè lǐ 。
随后林轩打量起尸魔巢穴，平心来说倒也宽敞，但林轩并不打算住在这里。
He picked up the small white bone shield. According to what he learned from the Corpse Demon, this treasure originally belonged to an Incarnation Stage cultivator in Wanhui Lake, stolen by a disciple.
zǐ xì sōu suǒ yī biàn hòu jiù fēi chū dòng wài 。 rán hòu shí zhǐ fēn dàn ， yī dào yī dào jiàn qì jī shè chū lái ， zhěng gè shān fēng tā le yí bàn ， jiāng shī mó dòng chè dǐ yǎn mái 。
仔细搜索一遍后就飞出洞外。然后十指纷弹，一道一道剑气激射出来，整个山峰塌了一半，将尸魔洞彻底掩埋。
Lin Xuan had seen its power; it was no trivial matter. He gently stroked it, not knowing what material it was made of, but with his cultivation level, controlling it shouldn’t be difficult. A bit of ritualization would make it an excellent defensive weapon.
suí hòu lín xuān lái dào xiǎo dǎo de lìng yī biān ， nà ér de yīn qì yě hěn nóng ， lín xuān xuǎn le yī chù huán jìng yōu měi de shān gǔ ， dòng shǒu kāi pì dòng fǔ 。
随后林轩来到小岛的另一边，那儿的阴气也很浓，林轩选了一处环境优美的山谷，动手开辟洞府。
There was also the banana leaf fan, equally impressive. Knowing Lin Xuan’s wealth and status, any ancient treasure he could look at had to have significant power.
yǐ tā rú jīn de shén tōng ， zì rán qīng ér yì jǔ 。
以他如今的神通，自然轻而易举。
These two treasures were considerable gains; they might come in handy when facing enemies. Lin Xuan waved his hands, casting a levitation spell, then tapped his head, and an inch-sized infant appeared from the top of his skull.
xiǎo bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu jiù chū jù guī mó 。
小半个时辰以后就初具规模。
Of course, it was the Magic Infant he had painstakingly cultivated. The little guy’s expression was solemn as he looked at the two treasures held by blue light. He opened his mouth and spat out a baby fire about the size of a embroidery needle.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu huā le yī tiān shí jiān jīng diāo xì zuó ， rú guǒ bù chū yì wài ， zì jǐ zhì shǎo yào zài zhè lǐ zhù shàng shí jǐ nián ， dāng rán yào nòng de shū fú yì diǎn 。
随后林轩又花了一天时间精雕细琢，如果不出意外，自己至少要在这里住上十几年，当然要弄的舒服一点。
It seemed like a spirit snake, instantly merging into the two treasures.
yuè ér yě lái bāng máng ， xiǎo yā tou kāi shǐ bù zhì zì jǐ de fáng jiān 。
月儿也来帮忙，小丫头开始布置自己的房间。
Boom!
suí hòu lín xuān yòu qǔ chū yī tào zhèn qí ， zài zhōu wéi bù shàng jìn zhì 。
随后林轩又取出一套阵旗，在周围布上禁制。
The surface of the white bone shield and banana leaf fan burst into black flames, with faint crackling sounds. This was Lin Xuan directly ritualizing the two treasures using his Magic Infant.
qí shí zhè me zuò shí yǒu ** shì duō cǐ yī jǔ ， bì jìng shī qì zhǎo zé běn lái jiù shì mán huāng xiǎn dì 。 yóu qí shì lǒng zhào xiǎo dǎo de dú wù ， lián níng dān xiū shì yě wèi jù fēi cháng 。
其实这么做十有**是多此一举，毕竟尸气沼泽本来就是蛮荒险地。尤其是笼罩小岛的毒雾，连凝丹修士也畏惧非常。
One benefit was that it was much faster than other secret methods.
zì jǐ shì yīn wèi xiū liàn yǒu bì huàn yōu huǒ ， suǒ yǐ cái bù wèi bǎi dú ， pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě nǎ yǒu rú cǐ xuán miào de fǎ shù 。
自己是因为修炼有碧幻幽火，所以才不畏百毒，普通修仙者哪有如此玄妙的法术。
Since they weren’t his primary treasure, he just needed to leave a mark on them.
suǒ yǐ zài zhè lǐ xiū xíng ， dà kě bù bì dān xīn bèi wài dí qīn rù 。
所以在这里修行，大可不必担心被外敌侵入。
A few days later, Lin Xuan completed everything. Of course, the Magic Infant had rested several times within him.
rán ér lín xuān zuò shì xiàng lái zhěn mì ， suī rán míng bái zhè xiē dào lǐ ， hái shì bù zhì shàng jìn zhì ān xīn yī xiē 。
然而林轩做事向来缜密，虽然明白这些道理，还是布置上禁制安心一些。
Compared to an Incarnation Stage cultivator, the Magic Infant was a clever workaround; plus, after becoming solidified, Lin Xuan hadn’t had time to refine it further.
huā le yī tiān yī yè ， zhōng yú wán chéng le shǒu lǐ de gōng zuò 。
花了一天一夜，终于完成了手里的工作。
Once he finished his current tasks, he would focus on cultivating it properly.
rán hòu lín xuān fēi shēn jìn rù dòng fǔ ， tā zhè me jí dào bú shì máng zhe liàn gōng ， ér shì xiǎng yào hǎo hǎo de shuì shàng yī jiào 。
然后林轩飞身进入洞府，他这么急倒不是忙着练功，而是想要好好的睡上一觉。
Lin Xuan thought about this and began meditating again. After recovering his strength, he took out a round ball from his pocket.
suǒ wèi láo yì jié hé ， jīng lì chōng pèi xiū liàn de xiào guǒ yě yào hǎo de duō 。
所谓劳逸结合，精力充沛修炼的效果也要好的多。
It was roughly the size of a dragon eye, icy cold, with an eerie black glow.
dì èr tiān zǎo shàng ， lín xuān lái dào kuān chǎng de shí shì ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān de líng shòu dài shàng yī pāi ， dùn shí yī zhèn wēng wēng de chóng míng shēng chuán lái 。
第二天早上，林轩来到宽敞的石室，伸出手来，在腰间的灵兽袋上一拍，顿时一阵嗡嗡的虫鸣声传来。
The Corpse Demon had turned to dust, but this item remained, clearly not ordinary.
zǐ hóng sè de guāng xiá fēi dào le yǎn qián 。
紫红色的光霞飞到了眼前。
Lin Xuan held it in his hand and examined it for a long time without finding any clues. His divine sense couldn’t penetrate it, so he dared not use brute force to destroy it.
dìng jīng wàng qù ， nà shì yī zhǒng xì xiǎo de kūn chóng 。 xíng mào rú tóng shì sú jiè de mì fēng ， zhǐ bù guò tǐ biǎo huā wén bān bó ， liǎng zhǐ yǎn jīng gèng chéng xuè hóng zhī sè 。
定睛望去，那是一种细小的昆虫。形貌如同世俗界的蜜蜂，只不过体表花纹斑驳，两只眼睛更呈血红之色。
Sighing, he put it back into his pocket.
yī gǔ mán huāng zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
一股蛮荒之气沛然而出。
Next was the processing of the Corpse Demon’s treasures. Lin Xuan didn’t pay much attention to ordinary treasures but there were tens of thousands of crystals and one jade tube with valuable contents: The Heavenly Corpse Incarnation Technique.
bù kuì shì zài shàng gǔ xiǎng yǒu dà míng de mó chóng 。
不愧是在上古享有大名的魔虫。
After using the soul-searching technique on the Ning Family Young Master, Lin Xuan knew this secret method well; he wouldn’t practice it himself.
kě xī hái quán dōu nián yòu ， lín xuān shén niàn yī dòng ， yù luó fēng dùn shí fēi rù le wèi tā men zhǔn bèi hǎo de cháo xué zhī zhōng 。
可惜还全都年幼，林轩神念一动，玉罗蜂顿时飞入了为他们准备好的巢穴之中。
But keeping it would be useful.
nà shì lín xuān yòng jiàn qì zài shí bì shàng diāo kè chū lái de fēng cháo ， jiān gù nài yòng 。
那是林轩用剑气在石壁上雕刻出来的蜂巢，坚固耐用。
After handling these trivial matters, Lin Xuan entered a period of intense cultivation. He refined elixirs, purified essence, took medicine, and meditated.
kàn zhe zhè xiē mó chóng ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chén yín zhī sè ， jiān tóu wēi dǒu ， yī zhī yù píng fēi chū yī xiù ， píng sāi yě zǎo yǐ dǎ kāi ， qìn rén xīn pí de xiāng wèi cóng lǐ miàn piāo le chū lái 。
看着这些魔虫，林轩脸上露出一丝沉吟之色，肩头微抖，一只玉瓶飞出衣袖，瓶塞也早已打开，沁人心脾的香味从里面飘了出来。
Whether to help Moon break through or merge the Corpse Infant wasn’t urgent. One must eat bit by bit; rushing was a big no-no in cultivation. What he needed to do now was stabilize the Magic Infant first.
wén dào cān jīng de qì xī ， yù luó fēng dùn shí fēi pū ér zhì ， kāi shǐ zhēng shí 。
闻到参精的气息，玉罗蜂顿时飞扑而至，开始争食。
Holding the jade tube, Lin Xuan pondered over the last layer of the Magic Infant Technique. The text was archaic but not difficult for him to understand with his current knowledge. After several days, he comprehended all its subtle and profound aspects.
lín xuān zé dèng dà shuāng yǎn ， zǐ xì guān kàn ， zú zú guò le yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān cái tuì le chū qù 。
林轩则瞪大双眼，仔细观看，足足过了一盏茶的时间才退了出去。
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged; his upper body remained still, only changing ancient hand gestures occasionally. More strangely, a black streak of light appeared above his head.
yōu yōu tàn le kǒu qì ， zì jǐ suī yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi ， bù yòng dān xīn cān jīng de lái yuán ， kě zhè yù luó fēng de chéng zhǎng hái shì tài màn ， zhào cǐ xià qù ， bù zhī dào yào duō jiǔ yǐ hòu ， cái kě duì duì dí ， yīng gāi xiǎng yī xià bié de zhǔ yì 。
悠悠叹了口气，自己虽有蓝色星海，不用担心参精的来源，可这玉罗蜂的成长还是太慢，照此下去，不知道要多久以后，才可对对敌，应该想一下别的主意。
The light flickered mysteriously.
dāng rán ， cǐ shì bù jí ， rú jīn de shǒu yào rèn wù ， shì bāng yuè ér tū pò ， hái yǒu jiù shì bǎ shī yīng yǔ nà jù shī wáng de qū tǐ róng hé 。
当然，此事不急，如今的首要任务，是帮月儿突破，还有就是把尸婴与那具尸王的躯体融合。
If one used the inner vision technique at this moment, they would see that in Lin Xuan’s dantian, the Magic Infant was also sitting cross-legged with a solemn expression.
lín xuān lái dào le liàn gōng shì 。
林轩来到了练功室。
Beneath him was an endless expanse of blue light points, like a nebula slowly rotating.
pán xī ér zuò ， xiān tiáo xī le piàn kè ， suí hòu zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， qǔ chū le liǎng jiàn fǎ bǎo lái 。
盘膝而坐，先调息了片刻，随后在储物袋上一拍，取出了两件法宝来。
Above his head, a golden core the size of a dragon eye hung high. Thick green spiritual energy surged around it nonstop.
tā xiān ná qǐ nà miàn xiǎo qiǎo de bái gǔ dùn pái ， cóng shī mó kǒu zhōng hé zhī ， cǐ bǎo běn shǔ yú wàn guǐ hú de mǒu wèi yuán yīng xiū shì ， hòu lái bèi dì zǐ tōu dào chū lái 。
他先拿起那面小巧的白骨盾牌，从尸魔口中和知，此宝本属于万鬼湖的某位元婴修士，后来被弟子偷盗出来。
The entire scene was dignified and mysterious, filled with ancient atmosphere.
lín xuān yǐ jiàn guò tā de shén tōng ， fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
林轩已见过他的神通，非同小可。
Outside the cave, the sky gradually darkened as Lin Xuan had been meditating for an entire day. Suddenly, the Magic Infant within him opened its eyes, looked around, then spat out a thin strand of baby fire from its mouth.
qīng qīng fǔ mō ， yě bù zhī dào shì yòng shén me cái liào dǎ zhì ， dàn yǐ zì jǐ de xiū wèi ， qū shǐ qǐ lái yīng gāi bù nán ， zhǐ yào shāo shāo jì liàn ， jiù shì yī jiàn fáng shēn de lì qì le 。
轻轻抚摸，也不知道是用什么材料打制，但以自己的修为，驱使起来应该不难，只要稍稍祭炼，就是一件防身的利器了。
Almost simultaneously, the golden core above began to spin rapidly.
hái yǒu bā jiāo shàn ， tóng yàng bù fán ， yào zhī dào lín xuān shēn jiā fēng hòu ， tā néng kàn de shàng yǎn de gǔ bǎo ， shén tōng zì rán fēi xiǎo 。
还有芭蕉扇，同样不凡，要知道林轩身家丰厚，他能看的上眼的古宝，神通自然非小。
A refined green spiritual energy leaked out from the core.
zhè liǎng jiàn bǎo wù ， suàn shì bù xiǎo de shōu huò ， yǐ hòu duì dí ， shuō bù dìng shén me shí hòu jiù néng yòng dào 。 lín xuān shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ，h dǎ chū yī dào piāo fú shù ， suí hòu yòu zài hòu nǎo yī pāi ， yí gè cùn xǔ dà xiǎo de yīng ér cóng tā de tiān líng gài fú xiàn chū lái 。
这两件宝物，算是不小的收获，以后对敌，说不定什么时候就能用到。林轩双手挥舞，h打出一道漂浮术，随后又在后脑一拍，一个寸许大小的婴儿从他的天灵盖浮现出来。
It met with the black infant fire.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì lín xuān hǎo bù róng yì cái xiū liàn chéng de mó yīng le 。
不用说，自然是林轩好不容易才修炼成的魔婴了。
Originally, these were different types of spiritual energies—yin and yang—but they didn’t tear each other apart; instead, they strangely started merging.
xiǎo jiā huo biǎo qíng sù mù ， kàn le kàn bèi lán guāng tuō zhe de liǎng jiàn fǎ bǎo ， xiǎo kǒu yī zhāng ， pēn chū yī dào yīng huǒ 。
小家伙表情肃穆，看了看被蓝光托着的两件法宝，小口一张，喷出一道婴火。
Of course, this wasn’t an easy process. The Magic Infant’s little face showed signs of tension as it watched intently without blinking.
yǔ xiù huā zhēn de dà xiǎo chà bu duō ， què fǎng rú líng shé ， yī xià zi róng rù dào liǎng jiàn fǎ bǎo zhī zhōng 。
与绣花针的大小差不多，却仿如灵蛇，一下子融入到两件法宝之中。
Fortunately, nothing went wrong. After the baby fire absorbed that refined spiritual energy, its color deepened.
hōng ！
轰！
The Magic Infant’s expression turned happy. It formed hand gestures and sucked in the flame with its mouth.
bái gǔ dùn yǔ bā jiāo shàn de biǎo miàn ， dùn shí rán qǐ le xióng xióng hēi yán ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu chī chī shēng xiǎng chuán rù ěr zhōng ， zhè shì lín xuān yòng mó yīng zhí jiē duì liǎng bǎo jìn xíng jì liàn 。
白骨盾与芭蕉扇的表面，顿时燃起了熊熊黑炎，隐隐还有嗤嗤声响传入耳中，这是林轩用魔婴直接对两宝进行祭炼。
Then, it closed its eyes again, clearly starting to refine it.
rú cǐ zuò yǒu yí gè hǎo chù ， bǐ yòng qí tā mì fǎ sù dù yào kuài de duō 。
如此做有一个好处，比用其他秘法速度要快的多。
Meanwhile, the golden core continued spinning, spiritual energy from around his dantian rushing towards him to compensate for the loss.
fǎn zhèng yòu bú shì běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， zhǐ xiāo suí biàn lào shàng zì jǐ de yìn jì jiù hǎo 。
反正又不是本命法宝，只消随便烙上自己的印记就好。
This process lasted a day and night.
shù rì hòu ， lín xuān jiù dà gōng gào chéng ， dāng rán ， mó yīng kě shì huí tǐ nèi xiū xī le shù cì zhī duō 。
数日后，林轩就大功告成，当然，魔婴可是回体内休息了数次之多。
The next morning, Lin Xuan finally opened his eyes, taking a deep breath. He looked tired but was filled with joy on his face.
yǔ yuán yīng xiāng bǐ ， mó yīng bì jìng shì qǔ qiǎo zhī wù ， hé kuàng huà chéng yǐ hòu ， lín xuān yì zhí méi yǒu shí jiān jiāng qí péi liàn wěn gù 。
与元婴相比，魔婴毕竟是取巧之物，何况化成以后，林轩一直没有时间将其培炼稳固。
This was the process he had comprehended of how to cultivate and nourish the Magic Infant. To be honest, it was much harder than doing the Great Heaven Circulation Technique. Fortunately, since Lin Xuan wasn’t a low-ranking cultivator anymore, it wasn’t too difficult for him.
děng shǒu tóu de shì qíng zuò hǎo le ， dǎo shì yào hǎo hǎo xiū liàn yī fān de 。
等手头的事情做好了，倒是要好好修炼一番的。
And he had an unexpectedharvest!
lín xuān zhè yàng xiǎng zhe ， chóng xīn kāi shǐ dǎ zuò ， dài tǐ lì huī fù ， yòu cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū yī lì yuán qiú 。
林轩这样想着，重新开始打坐，待体力恢复，又从怀中取出一粒圆球。
The predecessor who created the Magic Infant Technique was exceptionally intelligent and knew his hope of condensing an Incarnation Core was slim but still couldn’t give up. The cultivation method he established not only nourished the Magic Infant but also exercised the golden core, achieving two goals at once.
yuē yǒu lóng yǎn dà xiǎo ， tōng tǐ bīng liáng ， biǎo miàn sàn fà zhe wū hēi de yōu guāng 。
约有龙眼大小，通体冰凉，表面散发着乌黑的幽光。
This was crucial because everyone knew that an Incarnation Core was catalyzed by a golden core; in other words, the stronger and more stable the golden core, the better for condensing an Incarnation Core.
shī mó huà wèi le chén āi ， cǐ wù què liú le xià lái ， xiǎn rán bù fán 。
尸魔化为了尘埃，此物却留了下来，显然不凡。
Even if it was just a little bit, since the chance of condensing an Incarnation Core was so low, even this small improvement could make same-level cultivators envious.
lín xuān ná zài shǒu lǐ ， zuǒ guān yòu kàn ， yán jiū le bàn tiān ， què shén me duān ní yě méi yǒu fā xiàn ， wú tā ， shén shí wú fǎ chuān guò ， lín xuān yòu bù gǎn yòng mán lì jiāng qí huǐ le 。
林轩拿在手里，左观右看，研究了半天，却什么端倪也没有发现，无他，神识无法穿过，林轩又不敢用蛮力将其毁了。
Lin Xuan took out two pills from his storage bag and swallowed them. After restoring his spiritual energy, he continued cultivating.
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed. This guy was too spineless. A streak of green lightning shot out.
The Ning Family Young Master was greatly terrified, but it was already too late to dodge. The green lightning struck his body, and he felt the world spinning. His spiritual energy seemed to be trapped.
Such an easy victory surprised Lin Xuan a bit. He raised his left hand and pulled the other party towards him.

He hadn't expected that this Corpse Demon was actually the Ning Family’s former patriarch and had intricate ties with one of the Nine Great Forces: Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Of course, Lin Xuan wasn’t afraid. He didn’t even consider a small Ning Family worth mentioning.
Looking at the unconscious Ning Family Young Master, Lin Xuan directly shot out a fireball to turn him into ashes.
Before that, he naturally took off his storage bag and put it aside.

A refined green spiritual energy leaked out from the core.
It met with the black infant fire.
Originally, these were different types of spiritual energies—yin and yang—but they didn’t tear each other apart; instead, they strangely started merging.
Of course, this wasn’t an easy process. The Magic Infant’s little face showed signs of tension as it watched intently without blinking.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong. After the baby fire absorbed that refined spiritual energy, its color deepened.
The Magic Infant’s expression turned happy. It formed hand gestures and sucked in the flame with its mouth.
Then, it closed its eyes again, clearly starting to refine it.
Meanwhile, the golden core continued spinning, spiritual energy from around his dantian rushing towards him to compensate for the loss.
This process lasted a day and night.
The next morning, Lin Xuan finally opened his eyes, taking a deep breath. He looked tired but was filled with joy on his face.
This was the process he had comprehended of how to cultivate and nourish the Magic Infant. To be honest, it was much harder than doing the Great Heaven Circulation Technique. Fortunately, since Lin Xuan wasn’t a low-ranking cultivator anymore, it wasn’t too difficult for him.
And he had an unexpectedharvest!
The predecessor who created the Magic Infant Technique was exceptionally intelligent and knew his hope of condensing an Incarnation Core was slim but still couldn’t give up. The cultivation method he established not only nourished the Magic Infant but also exercised the golden core, achieving two goals at once.
This was crucial because everyone knew that an Incarnation Core was catalyzed by a golden core; in other words, the stronger and more stable the golden core, the better for condensing an Incarnation Core.
Even if it was just a little bit, since the chance of condensing an Incarnation Core was so low, even this small improvement could make same-level cultivators envious.
Lin Xuan took out two pills from his storage bag and swallowed them. After restoring his spiritual energy, he continued cultivating.
