与以前相比。抛强壮了许多，虽然依旧是元初的修为，但给人的感觉却完全不同。而且双手也已经接上，指甲散着乌黑的亮光。
Compared to before, Lin Xuan had grown much stronger. Although his cultivation level remained at the Initial Stage of Spirit Formation, the difference in his appearance was evident. His hands were now fully connected, and his fingernails shimmered with a dark black light.
zhè sān nián yǐ lái 。 lín xuān kě shì lì jīng xīn kǔ ， shí xīn mó táo xiào lì běn jiù hěn qiáng ， tí chún yǐ hòu gèng jiā wǎng měng bà dào 。 ruò fēi lín xuān fǎ lì yuǎn bǐ tóng jiē xiū shì jīng chún dé duō ， yòu shì shuāng yīng de yōng yǒu zhě ， shí yǒu ** yǐ bào tǐ ér wáng le 。
这三年以来。林轩可是历经辛苦，蚀心魔桃效力本就很强，提纯以后更加网猛霸道。若非林轩法力远比同阶修士精纯得多，又是双婴的拥有者，十有**已爆体而亡了。
Over these three years, Lin Xuan had endured great hardship. The Heart-Piercing Devil Peach's effects were already potent, but after purification, they became even more fierce and domineering. If not for Lin Xuan’s far purer cultivation than that of his peers and the fact that he was a dual infant cultivator, he would have likely perished from the blast.
dàn guò chéng yě shí fēn xīn kǔ ， hǎo zài lín xuān zhōng yú chēng guò ， bìng qiě yīn huò dé fú 。 yào xiào měng yě yǒu yào xiào měng de hǎo chù 。 yuán běn tā jié yīng wèi jiǔ ， yuán yīng qī de xiū liàn yòu bǐ qián miàn jǐ gè jìng jiè kùn nán dé duō ， suī rán yǒu shí xīn mó táo fǔ zuǒ ， dàn zhào lín xuān tuī cè ， néng gòu jìn jiē dào chū qī dǐng fēng jiù bù cuò 。
但过程也十分辛苦，好在林轩终于撑过，并且因祸得福。药效猛也有药效猛的好处。原本他结婴未久，元婴期的修炼又比前面几个境界困难得多，虽然有蚀心魔桃辅佐，但照林轩推测，能够进阶到初期顶峰就不错。
The process had been arduous, but Lin Xuan finally endured it and reaped unexpected benefits. The potent effects also brought their own advantages; originally, he had only recently formed an元婴, and Spirit Formation at this stage was far more challenging than previous stages. With the Heart-Piercing Devil Peach as support, he could be content with advancing to the early peak.
xū zhī néng gòu níng chéng yuán yīng de dōu shì xīn zhì jiān rèn zhī tú ， qiě líng gēn bù cuò ， kě dà bù fèn de yuán yīng xiū shì dōu shì zài chū qī pái huái ， cóng cǐ hěn nán zài yǒu jìn zhǎn le 。
须知能够凝成元婴的都是心智坚韧之徒，且灵根不错，可大部分的元婴修士都是在初期徘徊，从此很难再有进展了。
Those who could form a Spirit Core were usually resilient individuals with good Spirit Roots. However, most Spirit Formation cultivators lingered in the initial stage and found it difficult to progress further.
xiān dào jiān nán 。 zài yuán yīng qī tǐ xiàn dé yuè cán kù ， gù ér dāng lín xuān jiāng yào lì wán quán liàn huà yǐ hòu ， xiàn zì jǐ jìng chéng le zhōng qī xiū shì ， xīn zhōng de gāo xìng kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
仙道艰难。在元婴期体现得越残酷，故而当林轩将药力完全炼化以后，现自己竟成了中期修士，心中的高兴可想而知。
The path of Immortal cultivation was arduous, becoming even more brutal at the Spirit Formation stage. After fully refining the medicinal effects, Lin Xuan found himself a mid-stage cultivator, which brought him great joy.
tā bìng méi yǒu kāi guān chū qù ， ér shì liàn zhì le yī xià xīn dé de bǎo wù 。
他并没有开关出去，而是炼制了一下新得的宝物。
He did not open his seclusion but instead refined the newly acquired treasures. Whether it was the long spear with spatial abilities or the black beads, they were extraordinary items that would prove useful in the future. Lin Xuan naturally intended to refine them thoroughly using his infant fire.
bù lùn shì yǒu kòng jiān shén tōng de zhǎng gē ， hái shì nà chuàn wū hēi niàn zhū 。 dōu shì fēi tóng yī bān zhī wù ， rì hòu dà yǒu yòng tú ， lín xuān zì rán shì yào yòng yīng huǒ hǎo hǎo péi liàn yī fān le 。
不论是有空间神通的长戈，还是那串乌黑念珠。都是非同一般之物，日后大有用途，林轩自然是要用婴火好好培炼一番了。
After completing the refinement of the treasure, Lin Xuan began to transform the Corpse Devil. Although the Corpse Devil had been severely injured during its time in the sealed space, as a creature from the Netherworld Realm, it had an extraordinary recovery rate. After more than two years of recuperation, it was no longer in danger.
liàn bǎo wán chéng yǐ hòu ， lín xuān yòu kāi shǐ gǎi zào shī mó ， suī rán zài nà fēng bì kōng jiān de shí hòu ， shī mó céng jīng bèi dǎ chéng le zhòng shāng ， bù guò zuò wéi yīn sī jiè de guài wù ， tā de huī fù lì hái yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le yāo zú ， jīng guò liǎng nián duō de xiū yǎng ， yǐ jīng méi yǒu dà ài le 。
炼宝完成以后，林轩又开始改造尸魔，虽然在那封闭空间的时候，尸魔曾经被打成了重伤，不过作为阴司界的怪物，他的恢复力还远远胜过了妖族，经过两年多的修养，已经没有大碍了。
Lin Xuan then extracted the ancient devil's arm and used secret techniques to combine it with the Corpse Devil’s body.
suí hòu lín xuān jiāng jiā luó gǔ mó de shǒu bì qǔ chū ， shī zhǎn mì shù ， jiāng xī yǔ shī mó de shēn tǐ jié hé 。
随后林轩将迦罗古魔的手臂取出，施展秘术，将牺与尸魔的身体结合。
This process was not easy; although just a single arm, its demonic nature was formidable. Lin Xuan spent considerable effort before finally ensuring that both parties ceased rejecting each other.
zhè ge guò chéng bìng bù qīng sōng ， suī rán jǐn jǐn shì yī duì shǒu bì ， dàn mó xìng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān fèi le hǎo dà de gōng fu ， cái zhōng yú ràng shuāng fāng bù zài pái chì 。
这个过程并不轻松，虽然仅仅是一对手臂，但魔性也非同小可，林轩费了好大的工夫，才终于让双方不再排斥。
Three years of seclusion were but a blink in time for cultivators. However, Lin Xuan's cultivation and puppet combat power had significantly increased.
bì guān sān nián ， zhè diǎn shí jiān duì xiū xiān zhě ér yán ， bù guò dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān ， dàn lín xuān bù lùn běn shēn de xiū wèi ， hái shì qí tā de kuì lěi zhàn lì ， dōu bào zhǎng le yī dà jié 。
闭关三年，这点时间对修仙者而言，不过弹指一挥间，但林轩不论本身的修为，还是其他的愧儡战力，都暴涨了一大截。
Releasing the Corpse Devil now allowed him to test the new demonic arm’s effectiveness.
rú jīn jiāng shī mó fàng chū ， yě zhèng hǎo kàn kàn xī zhè duì xīn mó bì de wēi lì rú hé 。
如今将尸魔放出，也正好看看牺这对新魔臂的威力如何。
Lin Xuan subtly moved his divine sense, and the corpse aura surged before rushing forward toward the Green Elder.
lín xuān shén niàn wēi dòng ， shī qì yī zhèn fān yǒng ， suí hòu jiù pǎo dào lǜ lǎo zhě de qián tou 。
林轩神念微动，尸气一阵翻涌，随后就跑到绿老者的前头。
The demon beast showed a trace of fear; he actually had an infant spirit puppet as an ally. This battle was over.
yāo shòu liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī jīng jù zhī sè ， duì fāng jū rán hái yǒu yuán yīng qī kuì lěi zuò bāng shǒu ， zhè zhàng méi fǎ dǎ le 。
妖兽脸上露出一丝惊惧之色，对方居然还有元婴期愧儡做帮手，这仗没法打了。
If he didn't quickly retreat, he might die here.
ruò bù gǎn kuài dùn zǒu 。 shuō bù dìng huì yǔn luò zài cǐ chù 。
若不赶快遁走。说不定会陨落在此处。
With this thought, he leaped towards the Corpse Devil, hearing a series of crackling sounds. His already thick right arm grew even larger.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ 。 tā fēi shēn xiàng shī mó pū qù ， yī zhèn pī lǐ pā lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， tā nà běn jiù shí fēn cū zhuàng de yòu bì jū rán yòu dà le yī quān 。
想到这里。他飞身像尸魔扑去，一阵噼里啪啦的声音传入耳里，他那本就十分粗壮的右臂居然又大了一圈。
With a loud sound, it slammed forward.
hū de yī shēng 。 hěn hěn de cháo qián zá le chū qù 。
呼的一声。狠狠的朝前砸了出去。
The Corpse Devil showed no fear and raised its head to roar. Without using any treasure, it also punched out with one fist.
shī mó liǎn shàng háo wú jù yì ， yáng qǐ tóu ， chū yī shēng nù hǒu 。 méi yǒu dòng yòng bǎo wù ， jū rán yě shì yī quán zá chū 。
尸魔脸上毫无惧意，扬起头，出一声怒吼。没有动用宝物，居然也是一拳砸出。
The Green Elder was stunned but then rejoiced. It was well known that zombies had infinite strength, but he possessed the bloodline of some primitive beast. His right fist, after a thousand years of cultivation, was far more powerful than ordinary top-grade法宝.
nà lǜ lǎo zhě yī dāi ， suí hòu dà xǐ qǐ lái 。
那绿老者一呆，随后大喜起来。
This guy wanted to punch him; it was like an old man hanging from a noose—screaming for his life!
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī 。 jiāng shī lì dà wú qióng ， dàn zì jǐ kě shì jù yǒu mǒu zhǒng mán huāng yāo shòu de xuè tǒng ， qiě yòu quán jīng guò shàng qiān nián de péi liàn ， wēi lì hái yuǎn zài yì bān de dǐng jiān fǎ bǎo shàng miàn 。
众所周知。僵尸力大无穷，但自己可是具有某种蛮荒妖兽的血统，且右拳经过上千年的培炼，威力还远在一般的顶尖法宝上面。
After disposing of this Corpse Devil and breaking through the encirclement, he thought viciously. His magical power had increased by three points.
zhè jiā huo xiǎng yǔ zì jǐ duì quán ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào ” xián mìng zhǎng ！
这家伙想与自己对拳，简直就是老寿星上吊”嫌命长！
The Corpse Devil's right hand seemed disproportionate compared to its body, giving a strange impression as if an infant was fighting with a giant.
fèi le zhè shī mó 。 rán hòu tū wéi ér chū ， tā è hěn hěn de xiǎng zhe ， fǎ lì yòu píng tiān sān fēn le 。
废了这尸魔。然后突围而出，他恶狠狠的想着，法力又平添三分了。
With a loud bang, demon energy and corpse mist exploded outward, followed by the sound of bones breaking.
yǔ tā nà cū zhuàng de shǒu bì xiāng jù ， shī mó de yòu shǒu xiǎn de bù chéng bǐ lì ， gěi rén yī zhǒng hěn guài de gǎn jué ， jiù fǎng fú yīng ér zài yǔ yī míng zhuàng hàn duì quán ！
与他那粗壮的手臂相具，尸魔的右手显得不成比例，给人一种很怪的感觉，就仿佛婴儿在与一名壮汉对拳！
The demon beast’s face turned red, and it spat out a mouthful of blood.
“ pēng ” de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yāo qì yǔ shī wù cháo zhe zhōu wéi bào shè ， jǐn jiē zhe chuán lái de jiù shì gǔ gé de suì liè shēng le 。
“嘭”的巨响传入耳朵，妖气与尸雾朝着周围爆射，紧接着传来的就是骨骼的碎裂声了。
Lin Xuan’s expression showed satisfaction. It was no wonder that this body belonged to the ancient devil; these fists truly had immense power.
nà yāo shòu mǎn liǎn chì hóng ， yī kǒu xiān xuè kuáng pēn ér chū 。
那妖兽满脸赤红，一口鲜血狂喷而出。
With his left hand, he waved, summoning the Green Fire Sword, which transformed into a silver beam, cutting toward the opponent.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， bù kuì shì jiā luó gǔ mó de shēn tǐ 。 zhè shuāng quán tou guǒ rán wēi lì wú bǐ 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，不愧是迦罗古魔的身体。这双拳头果然威力无比。
Although severely injured, the Green Elder did not wish to wait for death and quickly poured all its demonic energy into the black golden dragon shield in front of it.
zuǒ shǒu yī fú ， zài cì jiāng qīng huǒ jiàn jì chū ， huà wèi yī dào yín máng ， hěn hěn de pī xiàng le duì fāng 。
左手一拂，再次将青火剑祭出，化为一道银芒，狠狠的劈向了对方。
This treasure’s defensive capabilities were unparalleled. However, Lin Xuan had now advanced to mid-stage Spirit Formation; a mere initial stage demon could hardly withstand him.
lǜ lǎo zhě suī rán zhòng shāng ， dàn yě bù yuàn zuò yǐ dài bì ， máng jiāng hún shēn de yāo lì zhù rù shēn qián de wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn lǐ 。
绿老者虽然重伤，但也不愿坐以待毙，忙将浑身的妖力注入身前的乌金龙甲盾里。
Seeing the Green Fire Sword approaching the shield, Lin Xuan flicked his fingers, and the silver beam suddenly changed direction, drawing an arc around behind him.
cǐ bǎo de fáng yù wú yǐ lún bǐ ， rán ér lín xuān xiàn zài yǐ jīng jìn jiē dào le yuán yīng zhōng qī ， qǐ shì qū qū chū qī yāo zú kě yǐ dǐ dǎng dì 。
此宝的防御无以伦比，然而林轩现在已经进阶到了元婴中期，岂是区区初期妖族可以抵挡地。
The Green Elder was alarmed but too late to dodge. It was decapitated in half.
yǎn jiàn qīng huǒ jiàn yǐ jīng pī dào le dùn qián ， lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī qiā 。 nà yín máng de fāng xiàng zhòu rán gǎi biàn ， guǐ yì de huá guò yī dào hú xiàn ， rào dào le tā de yāo shēn hòu miàn 。
眼见青火剑已经劈到了盾前，林轩双手一掐。那银芒的方向骤然改变，诡异的划过一道弧线，绕到了他的腰身后面。
However, as a demon, it naturally wouldn’t die so easily. Lin Xuan knew this well; he flicked his finger again, sending out a green flame from between his fingers.
lǜ lǎo zhě dà jīng 。 xiǎng duǒ yǐ jīng lái bù jí ， bèi lán yāo zhǎn duàn 。
绿老者大惊。想躲已经来不及，被拦腰斩断。
It immediately enveloped the elder’s remains.
bù guò shēn wèi yāo zú ， zì rán bú huì jiù zhè yàng yǔn luò ， lín xuān duì cǐ shí fēn qīng chǔ ， qū zhǐ yī dàn ， cóng zhǐ jiān fēi chū yī dào bì lǜ sè de huǒ xiàn 。
不过身为妖族，自然不会就这样陨落，林轩对此十分清楚，屈指一弹，从指间飞出一道碧绿色的火线。
Green Illusory Fiery Flame!
dùn shí jiāng lǎo zhě de cán qū bāo guǒ 。
顿时将老者的残躯包裹。
Although Lin Xuan had no time to further refine this technique, its power had increased after advancing to mid-stage.
bì huàn yōu huǒ ！
碧幻幽火！
This unfortunate demon was beyond salvation. A white light shot out of his body.
suī rán lín xuān méi yǒu shí jiān duì zhè zhǒng shén tōng zuò jìn yí bù chuí liàn 。 bù guò jìn jiē zhōng qī yǐ hòu ， cǐ mó yán de wēi néng yě jìn yí bù zēng qiáng le 。
虽然林轩没有时间对这种神通做进一步锤炼。不过进阶中期以后，此魔炎的威能也进一步增强了。
Of course, it was the demon soul trying to escape.
zhè dǎo méi de yāo zú yǐ shì huí tiān fá shù 。
这倒霉的妖族已是回天乏术。
Lin Xuan’s lips curled in a mocking smile; with his depth, he certainly wouldn’t leave any future threats behind.
yī dào bái hóng cóng tā de shēn tǐ lǐ fēi lüè ér chū 。
一道白虹从他的身体里飞掠而出。
With his right hand forming claws, he gently grabbed below, and the aura around him rippled. A large hand appeared mid-air.
bú yòng shuō 。 zì rán shì yāo hún xiǎng yào dùn zǒu 。
不用说。自然是妖魂想要遁走。
The demon soul was also alert; seeing the situation worsening, it turned and managed to dodge through the gap in Lin Xuan’s fingers.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， dāng rán bù kě néng wèi zì jǐ liú xià hòu huàn de 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，以他的城府，当然不可能为自己留下后患的。
However, Yue'er wasn’t idle either; she waved her jade hand, sending out countless demonic mists from the Beast Soul Flag, forming thousands of black threads that covered the entire sky.
yòu shǒu chéng zhǎo 。 qīng qīng xiàng xià miàn zhè me yī zhuā ， líng qì huàng dòng ， yī zhī dà shǒu chū xiàn zài le bàn kōng 。
右手成爪。轻轻像下面这么一抓，灵气晃动，一只大手出现在了半空。
The demon soul had no place to hide and was finally sucked in.
nà yāo hún dào yě jī jǐng ， jiàn shì bù miào ， yí gè 。 zhuǎn zhé ， jū rán cóng zhǐ fèng zhōng duǒ guò 。
那妖魂到也机警，见势不妙，一个。转折，居然从指缝中躲过。
Lin Xuan then used a gesture to retract both the Green Illusory Fiery Flame and the immortal sword into his body. The remains of the demon beast were reduced to ashes, leaving only a small infant-sized demonic nucleus enveloped by a faint green light, floating mid-air.
bù guò yuè ér cǐ shí yě bú huì xián zhe ， yù shǒu huī dòng ， wú shù mó wù cóng shòu hún fān zhōng yǒng chū ， huà wéi shù yǐ wàn jì de hēi sī ， mì mì má má ， jiāng fù jìn de zhěng jīn tiān mù zhē zhù 。
不过月儿此时也不会闲着，玉手挥动，无数魔雾从兽魂幡中涌出，化为数以万计的黑丝，密密麻麻，将附近的整今天幕遮住。
For cultivators, this was an extraordinary treasure that could not be easily obtained.
yāo hún duǒ wú kě duǒ ， zhōng yú hái shì bèi xī jìn qù le 。
妖魂躲无可躲，终于还是被吸进去了。
Lin Xuan took out an jade box from his pocket and carefully stored it away.
lín xuān zhè cái yī qiā jué ， jiāng bì huàn yōu huǒ yǔ xiān jiàn dōu shōu huí tǐ nèi 。
林轩这才一掐诀，将碧幻幽火与仙剑都收回体内。
He then extended his left hand, gently hooking the shield that had lost its owner. The power of this item was evident to Lin Xuan, and he was now in need of defensive treasures; thus, he was extremely pleased.
yāo shòu de cán hái yě huī fēi yān miè ， wéi yǒu yī yīng ér quán tou dà xiǎo de yāo dān ， bèi yī céng qīng méng méng de líng guāng bāo guǒ ， xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhī zhōng 。
妖兽的残骸也灰飞烟灭，唯有一婴儿拳头大小的妖丹，被一层青蒙蒙的灵光包裹，悬浮在半空之中。
He grasped it tightly, examining it closely.
zhè duì xiū shì lái shuō 。 shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú de bǎo wù 。
这对修士来说。是可遇而不可求的宝物。
Soon, Lin Xuan’s expression changed wildly.
lín xuān cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū yí gè yù hé ， jiāng qí xiǎo xīn de shōu hǎo le 。
林轩从怀中取出一个玉盒，将其小心的收好了。
This treasure used black gold as its main ingredient, incorporating scales from a mid-stage transformed dragon, meticulously refined,
suí hòu shēn chū zuǒ shǒu 。 zhǐ tou qīng qīng yī gōu ， nà shī qù zhǔ rén de dùn pái dùn shí fēi dào le miàn qián 。
随后伸出左手。指头轻轻一勾，那失去主人的盾牌顿时飞到了面前。
No wonder it could easily withstand the Green Fire Sword.
cǐ wù de wēi néng lín xuān yǐ jiàn dào guò ， ér zì jǐ xiàn zài yòu zhèng quē shǎo fáng yù lèi de bǎo wù ， zì rán shì xīn xǐ fēi cháng de 。
此物的威能林轩已见到过，而自己现在又正缺少防御类的宝物，自然是欣喜非常的。
In the mortal world, this would be top-tier defensive treasure. He had truly found a gem.
shēn shǒu wò zhù ， zhēng xì dǎ liàng 。
伸手握住，征细打量。
Lin Xuan happily stored the shield away.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù liǎn sè kuáng biàn 。
很快，林轩就脸色狂变。
"Congratulations, Young Master, on advancing to mid-stage Spirit Formation," Yue'er’s face was full of joy.
cǐ bǎo jìng rán shì yòng wū jīn zuò wéi zhǔ yào yuán liào ， bìng cān rù huà xíng zhōng qī jiāo lóng de lín piàn ， jīng xīn jiǎng liàn ，，
此宝竟然是用乌金做为主要原料，并参入化形中期蛟龙的鳞片，精心蒋炼，，
"Silly girl, what formalities now?"
nán guài néng gòu qīng yì dǎng zhù qīng huǒ chuàng 。
难怪能够轻易挡住青火创。
Lin Xuan hurriedly reached out to help her up but instead pierced through her body. A look of sadness appeared on the young lady's face.
gū jì zài rén jiè zhī zhōng ， zhè yǐ shì dǐng ér jiān ér de fáng yù bǎo wù ， zì jǐ zhè huí huán zhēn shì jiǎn dào bǎo le 。
估计在人界之中，这已是顶儿尖儿的防御宝物，自己这回还真是捡到宝了。
"Silly girl, don’t worry; once we leave the Demon Spirit Island, I will do everything in my power to assist you in forming your Spirit Core. If it succeeds,重塑躯体 is not a dream," Lin Xuan smiled.
lín xuān xǐ zī zī de jiāng cǐ dùn shōu hǎo 。
林轩喜滋滋的将此盾收好。
"Thank you, Young Master!"
“ gōng xǐ shào yé jìn jiē yuán yīng zhōng qī 。” yuè ér de liǎn shàng mǎn shì xiào yì 。
“恭喜少爷进阶元婴中期。”月儿的脸上满是笑意。
Yue'er was overjoyed and bowed again. Then, she seemed to think of something, two red clouds quietly rising.
Compared to before, Lin Xuan had grown much stronger. Although his cultivation level remained at the Initial Stage of Spirit Formation, the difference in his appearance was evident. His hands were now fully connected, and his fingernails shimmered with a dark black light.
Over these three years, Lin Xuan had endured great hardship. The Heart-Piercing Devil Peach's effects were already potent, but after purification, they became even more fierce and domineering. If not for Lin Xuan’s far purer cultivation than that of his peers and the fact that he was a dual infant cultivator, he would have likely perished from the blast.
The process had been arduous, but Lin Xuan finally endured it and reaped unexpected benefits. The potent effects also brought their own advantages; originally, he had only recently formed an元婴, and Spirit Formation at this stage was far more challenging than previous stages. With the Heart-Piercing Devil Peach as support, he could be content with advancing to the early peak.
Those who could form a Spirit Core were usually resilient individuals with good Spirit Roots. However, most Spirit Formation cultivators lingered in the initial stage and found it difficult to progress further.
The path of Immortal cultivation was arduous, becoming even more brutal at the Spirit Formation stage. After fully refining the medicinal effects, Lin Xuan found himself a mid-stage cultivator, which brought him great joy.
He did not open his seclusion but instead refined the newly acquired treasures. Whether it was the long spear with spatial abilities or the black beads, they were extraordinary items that would prove useful in the future. Lin Xuan naturally intended to refine them thoroughly using his infant fire.
After completing the refinement of the treasure, Lin Xuan began to transform the Corpse Devil. Although the Corpse Devil had been severely injured during its time in the sealed space, as a creature from the Netherworld Realm, it had an extraordinary recovery rate. After more than two years of recuperation, it was no longer in danger.
Lin Xuan then extracted the ancient devil's arm and used secret techniques to combine it with the Corpse Devil’s body.
This process was not easy; although just a single arm, its demonic nature was formidable. Lin Xuan spent considerable effort before finally ensuring that both parties ceased rejecting each other.
Three years of seclusion were but a blink in time for cultivators. However, Lin Xuan's cultivation and puppet combat power had significantly increased.

Lin Xuan subtly moved his divine sense, and the corpse aura surged before rushing forward toward the Green Elder.
The demon beast showed a trace of fear; he actually had an infant spirit puppet as an ally. This battle was over.
If he didn't quickly retreat, he might die here.
With this thought, he leaped towards the Corpse Devil, hearing a series of crackling sounds. His already thick right arm grew even larger.

The Corpse Devil's right hand seemed disproportionate compared to its body, giving a strange impression as if an infant was fighting with a giant.
With a loud bang, demon energy and corpse mist exploded outward, followed by the sound of bones breaking.
The demon beast’s face turned red, and it spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Xuan’s expression showed satisfaction. It was no wonder that this body belonged to the ancient devil; these fists truly had immense power.
With his left hand, he waved, summoning the Green Fire Sword, which transformed into a silver beam, cutting toward the opponent.

Although Lin Xuan had no time to further refine this technique, its power had increased after advancing to mid-stage.
This unfortunate demon was beyond salvation. A white light shot out of his body.
Of course, it was the demon soul trying to escape.
Lin Xuan’s lips curled in a mocking smile; with his depth, he certainly wouldn’t leave any future threats behind.
With his right hand forming claws, he gently grabbed below, and the aura around him rippled. A large hand appeared mid-air.
The demon soul was also alert; seeing the situation worsening, it turned and managed to dodge through the gap in Lin Xuan’s fingers.
However, Yue'er wasn’t idle either; she waved her jade hand, sending out countless demonic mists from the Beast Soul Flag, forming thousands of black threads that covered the entire sky.
The demon soul had no place to hide and was finally sucked in.
Lin Xuan then used a gesture to retract both the Green Illusory Fiery Flame and the immortal sword into his body. The remains of the demon beast were reduced to ashes, leaving only a small infant-sized demonic nucleus enveloped by a faint green light, floating mid-air.
For cultivators, this was an extraordinary treasure that could not be easily obtained.
Lin Xuan took out an jade box from his pocket and carefully stored it away.
He then extended his left hand, gently hooking the shield that had lost its owner. The power of this item was evident to Lin Xuan, and he was now in need of defensive treasures; thus, he was extremely pleased.
He grasped it tightly, examining it closely.
Soon, Lin Xuan’s expression changed wildly.
This treasure used black gold as its main ingredient, incorporating scales from a mid-stage transformed dragon, meticulously refined,
No wonder it could easily withstand the Green Fire Sword.
In the mortal world, this would be top-tier defensive treasure. He had truly found a gem.
Lin Xuan happily stored the shield away.
"Congratulations, Young Master, on advancing to mid-stage Spirit Formation," Yue'er’s face was full of joy.
"Silly girl, what formalities now?"
Lin Xuan hurriedly reached out to help her up but instead pierced through her body. A look of sadness appeared on the young lady's face.
"Silly girl, don’t worry; once we leave the Demon Spirit Island, I will do everything in my power to assist you in forming your Spirit Core. If it succeeds,重塑躯体 is not a dream," Lin Xuan smiled.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Yue'er was overjoyed and bowed again. Then, she seemed to think of something, two red clouds quietly rising.
