“ hǎo le ， nǐ qù ba ！”
“好了，你去吧！”
"Alright, go on then!"
huī páo xiū shì xíng le yī lǐ ， huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng ， jī shè xiàng zhǎo zé wài de fāng xiàng 。
灰袍修士行了一礼，化为一道遁光，激射向沼泽外的方向。
The robed cultivator bowed and transformed into a streak of light that shot towards the direction outside the swamp.
wàng zhe tā de bèi yǐng xiāo shī ， lín xuān de nǎo hǎi lǐ yī jiù bù tíng de fān yǒng zhe sī xù ， shōu cǐ rén wèi pū ， tā yě shì shēn sī shú lǜ de 。
望着他的背影消失，林轩的脑海里依旧不停的翻涌着思绪，收此人为仆，他也是深思熟虑的。
As he disappeared from sight, Lin Xuan's mind was still swirling with thoughts. He had carefully considered taking this person as his servant.
yī lái ， què shí kě yǐ miǎn chú bù shǎo má fán 。
一来，确实可以免除不少麻烦。
Firstly, it would indeed save him from many troubles. Secondly, if he were to establish this person as the head of the Ning family in the future, he would gain control over a considerable force.
èr lái ， rì hòu lì cǐ rén wèi níng jiā zhī zhǔ ， zì jǐ shǒu lǐ yě jiù zhǎng wò yī gǔ bù xiǎo de shì lì le 。
二来，日后立此人为宁家之主，自己手里也就掌握一股不小的势力了。
Although his current cultivation level made him fearless, the solitary life in the cultivation world had its inconveniences. For one thing, information was often limited, and with subordinates at his disposal, he wouldn't have to search for materials all over the place; he could just instruct the Ning family's disciples.
suī rán yǐ tā rú jīn de xiū wèi ， bìng bú huì wèi jù shuí ， dàn xiū xiān jiè ， gū jiā guǎ rén bìng shì duō yǒu bù biàn 。
虽然以他如今的修为，并不会畏惧谁，但修仙界，孤家寡人并是多有不便。
In short, this was a hidden move that required no effort on his part in daily management. With the Restraining Soul Blood Technique as a safeguard, even a few brave souls like the robed cultivator would dare not betray him.
bié de bù shuō ， guāng shì xiāo xī jiù bì sè le xǔ duō ， ér qiě yǒu shǒu xià ， rì hòu xū yào shén me cái liào yě bù yòng zì jǐ mǎn shì jiè qù
别的不说，光是消息就闭塞了许多，而且有手下，日后需要什么材料也不用自己满世界去
The only thing he had forgotten to ask for was the subordinate’s name.
zhǎo ， fēn fù níng jiā de dì zǐ jiù hǎo 。
找，吩咐宁家的弟子就好。
Lin Xuan's expression turned serious as he flicked his fingers and popped open the lid of an jade box. A gray-white streak of light shot out from inside.
zǒng ér yán zhī ， zhè shì yī bù àn qí ， qiě píng rì lǐ bù xū yào huā fèi rèn hé de gōng fu guǎn lǐ ， yǒu xuè guāng liàn hún shù de jìn zhì ， jiè
总而言之，这是一步暗棋，且平日里不需要花费任何的功夫管理，有血光炼魂术的禁制，借
"Still trying to run away?" Lin Xuan sneered, waving his sleeve to reveal a greenish-blue hand that grabbed the small monster with ease. The little creature struggled frantically but its power was severely weakened after years of confinement, while Lin Xuan's cultivation had advanced significantly.
jǐ gè dǎn ， huī páo xiū shì yě bù gǎn bèi qì zì jǐ 。
几个胆，灰袍修士也不敢背弃自己。
Lin Xuan crossed his fingers and a layer of emerald-green demonic flames burst out on the surface of the hand. Although it lasted only for an instant, this brief moment was enough to make the small monster suffer greatly. A faint smell of burning filled the air as fear began to show on its face.
wéi yī yí lòu de shì ， wàng le wèn zhè ge shǔ xià de míng zì 。
唯一遗漏的是，忘了问这个属下的名字。
"Brat, what do you want?" This was a million-year-old creature that wouldn't easily give up even in dire straits.
dāng rán zhè wú shāng dà yǎ ， lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， yuán lù fǎn huí dòng fǔ 。
当然这无伤大雅，林轩摇了摇头，原路返回洞府。
"I just want to guide my friend down the right path," Lin Xuan said calmly.
pán xī dǎ zuò ， děng jīng qì shén dōu huī fù zuì jiā zhuàng tài yǐ hòu cái chóng xīn zhēng kāi shuāng yǎn ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài líng guǐ dài shàng yī pāi 。
盘膝打坐，等精气神都恢复最佳状态以后才重新睁开双眼，伸出手来，在灵鬼袋上一拍。
"A right path?" The small monster's eyes darted around with suspicion.
yī dào lǜ máng cóng lǐ miàn fēi le chū lái ， lüè yī pán xuán ， luò zài le lín xuān de miàn qián 。
一道绿芒从里面飞了出来，略一盘旋，落在了林轩的面前。
"Yes. I'm sure you don’t want to be confined like this. If you agree to serve me, I can give you a certain degree of freedom."
zhè shì yī jù qiáng zhuàng de liàn shī ， shēn gāo jìn liǎng mǐ ， miàn róng kū jiāo ， shǒu bì shàng shēng zhe cùn xǔ zhǎng de shī máo ， shí zhǐ yǒu rú tiě
这是一具强壮的炼尸，身高近两米，面容枯焦，手臂上生着寸许长的尸毛，十指有如铁
"Serve? Are you going to implant a Restriction Spirit Technique on me?"
gōu yī yàng 。
钩一样。
"Restriction Spirit Technique?" Lin Xuan smirked. "My friend, that's just a joke. You are a Corpse Infant body; what use would such a technique be? If you want your freedom, you must swallow this pill."
rán ér tā de shuāng yǎn què méi yǒu rèn hé shén cǎi ， hún pò zǎo yǐ yān xiāo yún sàn ， wéi yī shèng xià lái de jiù shì yī jù kōng ké 。
然而他的双眼却没有任何神采，魂魄早已烟消云散，唯一剩下来的就是一具空壳。
Lin Xuan extended his left hand and revealed a small pill in his palm.
zhèng shì qiān nián shī wáng ó ！
正是千年尸王哦！
"Is it a pill?" The small monster was taken aback as fear showed on its face. "What did you do to me inside there?"
shuō qǐ lái ， zì jǐ dé dào cǐ guài wù yǐ hǎo jiǔ ， jù tǐ shí jiān dōu jì bù qīng le ， nà shí hòu zì jǐ hái shì yī xiǎo xiǎo de zhù jī qī
说起来，自己得到此怪物已好久，具体时间都记不清了，那时候自己还是一小小的筑基期
"It's just some Corpse Insect eggs. As long as you don't betray me, they won't hatch."
xiū xiān zhě ， qián chén wǎng shì yǒng shàng xīn tóu ， ràng lín xuān sī cháo qǐ fú ， gǎn kǎi wàn qiān 。
修仙者，前尘往事涌上心头，让林轩思潮起伏，感慨万千。
The small monster looked conflicted and indecisive. Lin Xuan didn't rush him; he waited quietly.
dāng nián tā suī rán xiū liàn yǒu tiān mó guǐ shī shù ， dàn kě qū dòng bù liǎo shī wáng zhè zhǒng guài wù ， xiǎng bú dào shù shí nián hòu ， què pài shàng le
当年他虽然修炼有天魔鬼尸术，但可驱动不了尸王这种怪物，想不到数十年后，却派上了
After a cup of tea had passed, the small monster finally grit his teeth and said, "Alright, I agree."
yòng chǎng 。
用场。
"Good choice," Lin Xuan nodded. He flicked his fingers again and the pill flew into the small monster's mouth.
lín xuān fàng chū shén shí ， xiān sǎo miáo le yī biàn ， yóu yú fàng zhì zài líng guǐ dài zhōng ， gù ér bǎo cún wán hǎo ， zhí jiē jiù kě yǐ ná lái jì
林轩放出神识，先扫描了一遍，由于放置在灵鬼袋中，故而保存完好，直接就可以拿来祭
Lin Xuan looked satisfied while the small monster looked dejected on the surface. However, this was just an act.
liàn 。
炼。
He wanted to control me? Ha! That would be too easy. Corpse Insects were useful against ordinary Corpse Infants but he wasn't afraid of them. This boy was far too naive; once his potential returned and he found a good opportunity, he would take over the body. The victor would be the one who laughed last.
dāng rán ， zuì jiā de dì diǎn ， bìng fēi zài zhè dòng fǔ lǐ miàn ， ér shì dāng chū yǔ shī mó jué zhàn de dì diǎn 。 nà lǐ shī qì zuì wèi nóng zhòng ，
当然，最佳的地点，并非在这洞府里面，而是当初与尸魔决战的地点。那里尸气最为浓重，
The small monster thought with malice. Meanwhile, on the surface, he showed great respect as he opened his mouth to speak but suddenly, black light flashed from his body, and he fell to the ground in pain.
shī fǎ de chéng gōng lǜ zì rán yě zuì gāo 。
施法的成功率自然也最高。
"Damn it! What did you give me? I agreed to serve you; why are you still harming me?" The small monster rolled around while gritting his teeth.
lín xuān jiāng liàn shī dài dào nà lǐ ， bù zhì xià yī xiǎo qiǎo de zhèn fǎ ， ràng qí màn màn de xī yǐn shī qì 。
林轩将炼尸带到那里，布置下一小巧的阵法，让其慢慢的吸引尸气。
"Hmph. Serving me, do you really think I'm that naive?" Lin Xuan's face showed no emotion. "A few Corpse Insects, how could they restrain you?"
dài qī qī sì shí jiǔ rì yǐ hòu ， shī qì chōng mǎn qū qiào ， jiù shì zuì jiā róng hé de yī kè 。
待七七四十九日以后，尸气充满躯壳，就是最佳融合的一刻。
"You... You know it! Why did you trick me into swallowing it?" The small monster was filled with fear as he spoke.
ér zài cǐ zhī qián ， hái yào jiāng shī yīng de shén shí mǒ qù ， bìng zài tā tǐ nèi zhòng xià zì jǐ de yìn jì 。
而在此之前，还要将尸婴的神识抹去，并在他体内种下自己的印记。
"It doesn't matter; you pretended to submit and wanted a chance to retaliate later," Lin Xuan said, revealing the small monster's intentions. "I just took your trap and outsmarted you."
zhè ge guò chéng shuō nán bù nán ， rán ér què pǒ duō wēi xiǎn ， nòng bù hǎo huì yǒu bèi fǎn shì de kě néng 。 zhè yě shì wèi shén me lín xuān yào huā
这个过程说难不难，然而却颇多危险，弄不好会有被反噬的可能。这也是为什么林轩要花
"An old monster like you wouldn't want to be someone else’s slave. It would be safer to erase my consciousness."
dà lì qì wěn gù mó yīng 。
大力气稳固魔婴。
"You... You..." The small monster was terrified but couldn’t think of what to say.
rú jīn tā xiū wèi jīng jìn ， zài jiā shàng bǐ yuán yīng chū qī xiū shì gèng jiā qiáng dà de shén shí ， chéng gōng lǜ yīng gāi gāo dá jiǔ chéng ， suī rán
如今他修为精进，再加上比元婴初期修士更加强大的神识，成功率应该高达九成，虽然
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and a thick cloud of demonic fog emerged, transforming into several snakes.
hái shì yǒu yì diǎn wēi xiǎn ， bù guò xiān dào jiān nán ， běn jiù bù kě néng yǒu shén me wàn quán 。
还是有一点危险，不过仙道艰难，本就不可能有什么万全。
These snakes were about half a foot long and as thin as a third of a thumb, yet their faces were extremely fierce.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， jiāng yí gè yù hé qǔ le chū lái ， hé zi biǎo miàn hái tiē yǒu jǐ zhāng fú zhuàn ， lǐ miàn
林轩伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，将一个玉盒取了出来，盒子表面还贴有几张符篆，里面
"Go!"
fēng yìn de zhèng shì shī yīng guài wù ， dāng chū wèi le jiāng tā zhuō zhù 。 lín xuān kě shì fèi le hǎo dà yī fān lì qì de 。
封印的正是尸婴怪物，当初为了将他捉住。林轩可是费了好大一番力气的。
The snakes bit the small monster's head and limbs. Lin Xuan was meticulous in his actions; although he had a high chance of erasing the small monster’s consciousness with his powerful spirit sense, there was still a risk of backlash.
lín xuān biǎo qíng biàn dé yán sù ， qū zhǐ yī dàn ， hé gài yǐ pā de yī shēng dǎ kāi ， yī dào huī bái sè de dùn guāng cóng lǐ miàn fēi le chū lái 。
林轩表情变得严肃，屈指一弹，盒盖已啪的一声打开，一道灰白色的遁光从里面飞了出来。
That's why he had set up that trap to trick the small monster into swallowing a pill. The pill contained not Corpse Insect eggs but Soul Transforming Pills.
“ hái xiǎng pǎo ？” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī jī cháo ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī zhī qīng sè de dà shǒu chū xiàn le ， wǔ zhǐ chéng zhuā ，
“还想跑？”林轩嘴角边流露出一丝讥嘲，袖袍一拂，一只青色的大手出现了，五指成抓，
As the name suggested, these pills could destroy one's three souls and six spirits, greatly weakening their spirit sense. With this aid, Lin Xuan’s success rate increased significantly.
hěn hěn de zhè me xiàng xià yī lāo 。
狠狠的这么向下一捞。
"Damn you! I’ll fight to the death!"
qīng guāng shǎn dòng ， yǐ jiāng shī yīng wò zài le shǒu zhōng ， xiǎo guài wù bù duàn zhēng zhá ， rán ér jīng guò shù nián de jìn gù ， tā de fǎ lì yǐ
青光闪动，已将尸婴握在了手中，小怪物不断挣扎，然而经过数年的禁锢，他的法力已
"Hmph, do you think you have that chance?" Lin Xuan crossed his fingers as the snakes tied him up like a粽子 (zongzi, a type of dumpling).
xū ruò dào le jí chù ， fǎn guān lín xuān ， xiū wèi jīng jìn ， cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng ， tā yòu nǎ lǐ zhèng tuō dé le fēn háo 。
虚弱到了极处，反观林轩，修为精进，此消彼长，他又哪里挣脱得了分毫。
Lin Xuan then chanted obscure incantations.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī qiā ， nà qīng sè dà shǒu de biǎo miàn ， měng de rán qǐ le yī céng bì lǜ sè de mó yán 。 shāo shǎn jí shì ， dàn jiù zhè me
林轩双手一掐，那青色大手的表面，猛的燃起了一层碧绿色的魔炎。稍闪即逝，但就这么
...
duǎn duǎn de yī liǎng miǎo ， yǐ ràng shī yīng chī zú le kǔ tóu ， kōng qì zhōng chuán lái dàn dàn de jiāo chòu ， tā de liǎn shàng zhōng yú lù chū wèi jù
短短的一两秒，已让尸婴吃足了苦头，空气中传来淡淡的焦臭，他的脸上终于露出畏惧
The entire process lasted several days. After two nights and one day, Lin Xuan left the training room.
de biǎo qíng lái le 。
的表情来了。
Everything went smoothly; the main task was completed.
“ chòu xiǎo zi ， nǐ jiū jìng yì yù rú hé ？” zhè dào dǐ shì huó le shù bǎi wàn nián de lǎo guài wù 。 suī rán shēn chù jué dì ， dàn zuǐ bā
“臭小子，你究竟意欲如何？”这到底是活了数百万年的老怪物。虽然身处绝地，但嘴巴
He just needed to wait for forty-nine more days until the Corpse King's body absorbed enough Corpse Qi before they could begin their fusion.
shàng kě bù yuàn fú shū 。
上可不愿服输。
Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling excited at the thought of possessing a Corpse Infant from the Yuan婴 (immortal embryo) stage. He returned to his bedroom, took a good rest, and then went to a nearby stone room where Moer practiced her cultivation.
“ méi shén me ， zhǐ bù guò xiǎng gěi dào yǒu zhǐ diǎn yī tiáo míng lù 。” lín xuān dàn dàn kāi kǒu 。
“没什么，只不过想给道友指点一条明路。”林轩淡淡开口。
The little girl had excellent资质 (talent), making rapid progress since she started cultivating but was stuck at the mid-Condensation Core stage for some time now.
“ míng lù ？” shī yīng yǎn jīng yī zhuǎn ， xiǎo liǎn shàng fǎn ér lù chū jǐ fēn jǐng tì de biǎo qíng lái 。
“明路？”尸婴眼睛一转，小脸上反而露出几分警惕的表情来。
Lin Xuan wanted to see how far she had progressed in this prime Yin Pulse region. Although they were master and servant, he cared deeply for her.
“ bù cuò ， xiǎng bì dào yǒu yě bù yuàn yì zhè yàng yì zhí bèi jìn gù ， nǐ ruò yuàn yì fèng wǒ wéi zhǔ ， wǒ wèi shǐ bù kě yǐ huán nǐ yí dìng
“不错，想必道友也不愿意这样一直被禁锢，你若愿意奉我为主，我未始不可以还你一定
Unfortunately, Moer could only create a new body after reaching the Yuan婴 stage, where she could use Dan Shi (cultural stones) to break through bottlenecks. For now, all hope was placed on the Yin Pulse’s effects.
de zì yóu 。” lín xuān chōng mǎn yòu huò de kāi kǒu 。
的自由。”林轩充满诱惑的开口。
Lin Xuan entered the stone cave and found it decorated elegantly with night pearls lighting up the walls. Moer sat on a jade platform in the center of the room.
“ fèng zhǔ ， nǐ mò fēi xiǎng duì lǎo fū zhòng xià jìn shén shù ？”
“奉主，你莫非想对老夫种下禁神术？”
She was meditating with a serious expression on her face.
“ jìn shén shù ？” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī fěng ：“ dào yǒu shuō xiào le ， nǐ nǎi shī yīng zhī tǐ ， qū qū jìn shén shù néng yǒu
“禁神术？”林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥讽：“道友说笑了，你乃尸婴之体，区区禁神术能有
Lin Xuan didn't disturb her but slowly released his spirit sense to observe her cultivation progress. Compared to a year ago, she had made significant strides and was at the peak of mid-Condensation Core stage.
duō dà xiào yòng ， xiǎng yào wǒ hái nǐ zì yóu ， gé xià bì xū tūn xià zhè lì dān yào 。”
多大效用，想要我还你自由，阁下必须吞下这粒丹药。”
Her body was filled with demonic energy as she was about to break through the bottleneck.
"Alright, go on then!"
The robed cultivator bowed and transformed into a streak of light that shot towards the direction outside the swamp.
As he disappeared from sight, Lin Xuan's mind was still swirling with thoughts. He had carefully considered taking this person as his servant.
Firstly, it would indeed save him from many troubles. Secondly, if he were to establish this person as the head of the Ning family in the future, he would gain control over a considerable force.

In short, this was a hidden move that required no effort on his part in daily management. With the Restraining Soul Blood Technique as a safeguard, even a few brave souls like the robed cultivator would dare not betray him.
The only thing he had forgotten to ask for was the subordinate’s name.
Lin Xuan's expression turned serious as he flicked his fingers and popped open the lid of an jade box. A gray-white streak of light shot out from inside.
"Still trying to run away?" Lin Xuan sneered, waving his sleeve to reveal a greenish-blue hand that grabbed the small monster with ease. The little creature struggled frantically but its power was severely weakened after years of confinement, while Lin Xuan's cultivation had advanced significantly.

"A right path?" The small monster's eyes darted around with suspicion.
"Yes. I'm sure you don’t want to be confined like this. If you agree to serve me, I can give you a certain degree of freedom."
