kàn le yǎn qián de yì jǐng ， jīn líng liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū chī jīng de biǎo qíng ， bù guò cǐ nǚ dǎo shì pǒ yǒu xīn jī ， lì kè xià lìng ràng xiū shì men gè zì sàn qù ， suí hòu tā lüè yī chí yí ， cái huǎn bù xiàng lín xuān dòng fǔ zǒu qù 。
看了眼前的异景，金灵脸上也不由得露出吃惊的表情，不过此女倒是颇有心机，立刻下令让修士们各自散去，随后她略一迟疑，才缓步像林轩洞府走去。
The sight before him left Jin Ling's face aghast. However, the woman was quite shrewd and immediately ordered the cultivators to disperse. After a moment of hesitation, she slowly made her way towards Lin Xuan’s abode.
“ gōng xǐ shào yé ， cái jǐn jǐn yòng le shí wǔ nián ， jiù liàn chéng le dì yī céng lù fèng wǔ jiǔ yāo 。
“恭喜少爷，才仅仅用了十五年，就练成了第一层赂凤舞九夭。
"Congratulations, young master. You've managed to complete the first level of Lü Feng Wu Jiu in just fifteen years."
liàn gōng fáng zhōng ， lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， yī quán tou dà xiǎo de mí nǐ cǎi fèng zài tā tóu dǐng pán xuán fēi wǔ ， ér lín xuān liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì xǐ sè ， xiū liàn de jìn dù què shí bǐ yuán xiān yù kē de yào kuài dé duō 。
练功房中，林轩盘膝而坐，一拳头大小的迷你彩凤在他头顶盘旋飞舞，而林轩脸上也满是喜色，修炼的进度确实比原先预科的要快得多。
In the practice room, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged. A miniature rainbow phoenix hovered above his head, dancing and fluttering. His face was filled with joy; his progress had indeed been much faster than anticipated.
ér zài zhè qí zhōng ， yāo yǎn shě lì kě shì qǐ le hěn dà zuò yòng ， dāng rán ， zhè xiē nián tūn fú de dān yào yě zú gòu duō ， lín xuān yǐ qián suǒ liàn de líng dān jī hū dōu kuài chī wán le 。
而在这其中，妖眼舍利可是起了很大作用，当然，这些年吞服的丹药也足够多，林轩以前所炼的灵丹几乎都快吃完了。
The妖眼舍利had played a significant role here. Over these years, he had consumed countless pills, almost depleting the supply of spirit pills he had previously refined.
dì yī céng dà yuán mǎn ， hái bù zú yǐ níng jié yāo dān ， bù guò lín xuān yǐ gǎn jué dào shēn tǐ yǒu le hěn dà gǎi biàn 。
第一层大圆满，还不足以凝结妖丹，不过林轩已感觉到身体有了很大改变。
At this point, while not enough to form a demon core, Lin Xuan could feel substantial changes in his body. The effects of the经文洗髓were far beyond those of both Taoist and demonic techniques. His cultivation akin to that of a beast was now showing initial results—his Nine Heavens Microstep technique had gained significant power, though still not as swift as teleportation.
zhè zhǒng yì jīng xǐ suǐ de xiào guǒ ， zhèng mó gōng fǎ dōu yuǎn yuǎn bù jí ， lín xuān xiàng yāo qín yì bān de duàn jǐn ， rú jīn yǐ chū bù kě yǐ kàn chū chéng xiào lái le 。
这种易经洗髓的效果，正魔功法都远远不及，林轩像妖禽一般的锻仅，如今已初步可以看出成效来了。
His physical strength had also increased slightly, allowing him to withstand some low-grade spells without any defensive measures.
bǐ rú shuō tā zài shǐ chū jiǔ tiān huī bù shén tōng ， yǐ yǒu le jí dà de jiā chéng zuò yòng ， suī rán hái bù jí shùn yí ， dàn yě píng tiān le bù shǎo wēi lì 。
比如说他再使出九天徽步神通，已有了极大的加成作用，虽然还不及瞬移，但也平添了不少威力。
Compared to the old怪兽, he was far behind but already outmatched ordinary元婴 cultivators.
tóng shí shēn tǐ qiáng dù yě zēng jiā le shǎo xǔ ， zài bù shǐ yòng rèn hé fáng yù shǒu duàn de qíng kuàng xià ， yǐ miǎn qiǎng kě yǐ yìng káng yī xiē dī jiē fǎ shù de hōng jī 。
同时身体强度也增加了少许，在不使用任何防御手段的情况下，已勉强可以硬扛一些低阶法术的轰击。
Lin Xuan rose from his seat. The miniature rainbow phoenix vanished into his body through his crown.
yǔ jīn lǎo guài xiàng bǐ gù rán yuǎn yuǎn bù jí ， dàn yǐ yuǎn shèng pǔ tōng de yuán yīng xiū shì 。
与金老怪相比固然远远不及，但已远胜普通的元婴修士。
Using inner vision, one could now see a slight change in the color of his spiritual energy. Initially, it had been a mixture of green and black, but now there was a faint silver hue, although very subtle!
lín xuān zhèn yī ér qǐ ， nà mí nǐ cǎi fèng yě cóng tiān líng gài mò rù tā de shēn tǐ 。
林轩振衣而起，那迷你彩凤也从天灵盖没入他的身体。
Turning to look at the beautiful young woman beside him, Yue'er had not disappointed—she had finally broken through and entered the realm of core formation.
cǐ shí ruò shì shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī fǎ ， kě yǐ xiàn tā tǐ nèi líng lì yán sè yòu yǒu le yì diǎn biàn huà 。
此时若是施展内视之法，可以现他体内灵力颜色又有了一点变化。
Though not yet solidified, this was still a significant advancement.
yuán běn zhèng mó jiān xiū ， lín xuān dān tián nèi de líng lì shì qīng hēi sè ， bù guò xiàn zài què píng kōng shēng chū yì diǎn diǎn yín máng lái le ， suī rán hěn huī ！！” dàn què shí shì yǒu gǎi biàn de 。
原本正魔兼修，林轩丹田内的灵力是青黑色，不过现在却凭空生出一点点银芒来了，虽然很徽！！”但确实是有改变的。
Next, Lin Xuan recalled the Corpse Demon. This creature had been diligently practicing 天尸化身诀for years, with its元婴 already fully digested but unable to advance further.
lín xuān huí guò tóu ， kàn le yī yǎn shēn cè měi lì de shào nǚ ， yuè ér yě méi yǒu ràng zì jǐ shī wàng ， zhōng yú tū pò píng fù ， jìn rù le níng dān qī dà yuán mǎn zhī jìng 。
林轩回过头，看了一眼身侧美丽的少女，月儿也没有让自己失望，终于突破瓶覆，进入了凝丹期大圆满之境。
Lin Xuan wasn't disappointed; immortality is difficult, and breaking through realms isn't easy. While his demon energy hadn't progressed much, he now possessed several extremely powerful secret techniques.
suī rán bù néng shuō hěn sè gù ， dàn yùn yǐ shì yī jí dà de jìn bù 。
虽然不能说很穑固，但运已是一极大的进步。
One must be content with such results.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu yòng shén niàn zhào huí shī mó ， zhè jiā huo duì tiān shī huà shēn jué qín liàn bù chuò ， tūn fú de yuán yīng yǐ jīng liàn huà le ， bù guò què bìng méi yǒu néng gòu jìn rù zhōng qī de 。
随后林轩又用神念召回尸魔，这家伙对天尸化身诀勤炼不辍，吞服的元婴已经炼化了，不过却并没有能够进入中期的。
Finally, Lin Xuan arrived at the insect room where he kept the demon bees.
bù guò lín xuān yě méi yǒu gǎn dào shī wàng ， xiān dào jiān nán ， jìng jiè nǎ shì nà me róng yì tū pò ， shī mó fǎ lì suī rán méi yǒu jìn zhǎn shén me ， dàn què yòu zhǎng wò le jǐ zhǒng lì hài zhì jí de mì shù 。
不过林轩也没有感到失望，仙道艰难，境界哪是那么容易突破，尸魔法力虽然没有进展什么，但却又掌握了几种厉害至极的秘术。
Though he had been in seclusion for many years, he occasionally checked on the insects during breaks from meditation. Initially, 紫莲木had shown significant effects, but after three years, the玉罗蜂had grown significantly and molted like a snake, surprising Lin Xuan with its newfound ferocity.
rén yào zhī zú ， zhè zhǒng jié guǒ yǐ jīng gòu ràng rén mǎn yì le 。
人要知足，这种结果已经够让人满意了。
However, starting from the twelfth year, the催熟作用 had decreased dramatically and ceased altogether.
zuì hòu lín xuān lái dào le sì yǎng mó fēng de chóng shì zhī zhōng 。
最后林轩来到了饲养魔蜂的虫室之中。
Opening the stone door with a wave of his sleeve, he heard buzzing sounds as a purple cloud of insects swarmed towards him. Initially alarmed, Lin Xuan quickly regained composure; the玉罗蜂had recognized him and posed no threat.
zhè xiē nián tā suī rán yì zhí bì guān kǔ xiū ， dàn yě bìng fēi yī dòng bù dòng ， ǒu ěr dǎ zuò de jiàn xì yě huì qù chóng shì chá tàn yī fān de 。
这些年他虽然一直闭关苦修，但也并非一动不动，偶尔打坐的间隙也会去虫室查探一番的。
He picked up one of the demon insects, noticing it had grown slightly larger than before. He could feel the primordial force emanating from it.
qǐ chū zǐ lián mù xiào guǒ xiǎn zhù ， bù guò sān nián de gōng fu yù luó fēng jiù zhǎng dà yī kùn le ， bìng xiàng shé yī yàng ， wán chéng le yī cì tuì pí ， zhè ràng lín xuān pǒ wèi jīng yì ， dàn yě shí fēn xīn xǐ 。
起初紫莲木效果显著，不过三年的功夫玉罗蜂就长大一困了，并像蛇一样，完成了一次蜕皮，这让林轩颇为惊异，但也十分欣喜。
The 紫莲木was now ineffective in its effects, having consumed much of its vitality.
yīn wèi tuì pí hòu de yù luó fēng ， míng xiǎn xiōng měng le xǔ duō ， tǐ nèi de dú sù yě yuè měng è 。
因为蜕皮后的玉罗蜂，明显凶猛了许多，体内的毒素也越猛恶。
Lin Xuan sighed; the驱虫术 was indeed one of the most difficult skills to master among a hundred techniques. The玉罗蜂required immense effort to reach maturity.
rán ér zài zhè zhī hòu ， zǐ lián mù cuī shú de zuò yòng míng xiǎn jiàng dī le xǔ duō ， bìng zài dì shí èr gè nián tóu chè dǐ shī qù le xiào guǒ 。
然而在这之后，紫莲木催熟的作用明显降低了许多，并在第十二个年头彻底失去了效果。
However, while far from ideal, they were no longer mere larvae and could potentially aid him in battle—adding another technique to his arsenal.
lín xuān lái dào chóng zhì mén kǒu ， xiù páo yī fú ， nà shí mén jiù hōng lōng lóng de dǎ kāi le ， jiē zhe wēng wēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī tuán zǐ sè de chóng yún xiàng tā pū lái le 。
林轩来到虫窒门口，袖袍一拂，那石门就轰隆隆的打开了，接着嗡嗡的声音传入耳朵，一团紫色的虫云像他扑来了。
With this thought, he summoned his spirit beast pouch and used his divine awareness to store the insect cloud within it.
lín xuān xiān shì yī jīng ， bù guò suí hòu jiù huī fù le kuì dìng ， yù luó fēng yǐ jīng rèn zhǔ ， duì zì jǐ shì bù kě néng yǒu shén me shāng hài de 。
林轩先是一惊，不过随后就恢复了馈定，玉罗蜂已经认主，对自己是不可能有什么伤害的。
A transmission talisman flew towards him.
lín xuān suí shǒu jiāng yī zhī mó chóng zhuā zài shǒu lǐ ， yǔ yǐ wǎng xiāng bǐ ， guǒ rán zhǎng dà le shǎo xǔ ， lín xuān kě yǐ gǎn jué dào yī gǔ pū miàn ér lái de mán huāng zhī qì 。
林轩随手将一只魔虫抓在手里，与以往相比，果然长大了少许，林轩可以感觉到一股扑面而来的蛮荒之气。
Scanning it with his divine sense, Lin Xuan saw that Jin Ling had come to visit upon hearing of his emergence from seclusion.
wū zi zhōng bèi xī guāng de zǐ lián mù hěn duō ， kě xī zài yě qǐ bú dào shén me xiào guǒ 。
屋子中被吸光的紫莲木很多，可惜再也起不到什么效果。
Lin Xuan smiled. This woman had done well over these years; he activated a barrier and invited Jin Ling to wait in the main hall.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， qū chóng shù bù kuì shì xiū xiān bǎi yì zhōng zuì nán jīng tōng de yī zhǒng ， jiù shuō zhè yù luó fēng ， xiǎng yào jiāng qí cuī zhì chéng shú tǐ ， nì bù zhī dào xū yào duō shǎo nǔ lì 。
林轩叹了口气，驱虫术不愧是修仙百艺中最难精通的一种，就说这玉罗蜂，想要将其催至成熟体，逆不知道需要多少努力。
Afterward, he recalled the Corpse Demon into his spirit ghost pouch before calmly heading to meet her.
bù guò xiàn zài zhè zhǒng zhuàng kuàng suī rán chā qiáng rén yì ， dàn hǎo dǎi yě bù zài shì yòu chóng ， zhàn dòu de shí hòu yīng gāi kě yǐ qǐ yī xiē zuò yòng ， zì jǐ yòu duō chū le yī zhǒng shén tōng 。
不过现在这种状况虽然差强人意，但好歹也不再是幼虫，战斗的时候应该可以起一些作用，自己又多出了一种神通。
The meeting lasted half a day.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān jiāng yāo jiān de líng shòu dài jì chū ， suí hòu shén niàn yī dòng ， jiāng chóng yún shōu rù qí zhōng 。
念及至此，林轩将腰间的灵兽袋祭出，随后神念一动，将虫云收入其中。
Lin Xuan suddenly announced that he was going on an extended journey, handing Jin Ling a禁神令符. Transforming into a streak of green light, he vanished without a trace.
cóng wài miàn fēi lái yī dào chuán dā fú 。
从外面飞来一道传耷符。
The cultivators in离线峡were shocked but dared not oppose him.
lín xuān shén shí sǎo guò ， què shì jīn líng dé zhī zì jǐ chū guān ， qián lái bài huì le 。
林轩神识扫过，却是金灵得知自己出关，前来拜会了。
"Young master, Golden Monster left such a vast domain behind; are you really willing to discard it like trash?"
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， cǐ nǚ zhè xiē nián dào yě zuò dé bù cuò ， dāng jí jìn zhì kāi qǐ ， ràng jīn líng xiān qù dà tīng děng hòu 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝笑容，此女这些年倒也做得不错，当即禁制开启，让金灵先去大厅等候。
"Even if I didn't want to leave, could I stay here indefinitely?" Lin Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile. "For humans, this isn't an ideal place for cultivation. With the妖眼舍利, returning to the human world allows me to easily practice Lü Feng Wu Jiu."
jiē zhe lín xuān yòu jiāng shī mó shōu rù líng guǐ dài zhōng ， cái bù huāng bù máng de qián qù jiē jiàn cǐ nǚ le 。
接着林轩又将尸魔收入灵鬼袋中，才不慌不忙的前去接见此女了。
"That's true, but why go through such trouble? Why not enslave Jin Ling and implant the Bloodlight Soul Refinement Technique on her? Isn't that redundant? Do you plan to return to this demon island?" Yue'er asked with a hint of confusion.
zhè yī jiàn ， liǎng rén jū rán shāng liáng le bàn rì zhī jiǔ 。
这一见，两人居然商量了半日之久。
"I won’t be returning. However, don’t underestimate Jin Ling; she has a pure golden attribute spirit root, superior even to the Holy Spirit Root. The original blockage is now lifted, and her future prospects are limitless."
suí hòu lín xuān tū rán xuān bù yào qù yuǎn yóu ， bìng yǐ jìn shén lìng fú jiāo dào cǐ nǚ shǒu zhōng ， rán hòu tā huà wèi yī dào qīng hóng ， xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
随后林轩突然宣布要去远游，并椅禁神令符交到此女手中，然后他化为一道青虹，消失得无影无踪。
"Are you saying that not only will she succeed in forming an infant body but also break through the Separation Realm and ascend to the higher realms?" Yue'er's face showed doubt.
lí xiàn xiá de xiū shì dà gǎn jīng è ， bù guò dào yě méi yǒu shuí gǎn chū yán fǎn duì shén me 。
离线峡的修士大感惊愕，不过倒也没有谁敢出言反对什么。
"Haha, the probability of such a thing happening is very low. However, anything is possible; it’s always wise to have some backup," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
“ shào yé ， jīn lǎo guài liú xià hǎo dà yī piàn jī yè ， nǐ zhēn shě de jiù zhè yàng qì zhī rú cǎo jiè le ？”
“少爷，金老怪留下好大一片基业，你真舍得就这样弃之如草芥了？”
"True, having more leverage is beneficial. If she truly ascends in a thousand years, the Bloodlight Soul Refinement Technique will ensure her submission to me. Storing this for later could bring great benefits, but the odds are too low."
“ bù shě dé yòu néng rú hé ， nán dào wǒ hái néng gòu yì zhí liú zài zhè lǐ xiū liàn me ？” lín xuān kǔ xiào zhe yáo le yáo tóu ：“ duì yú rén lèi lái shuō ， zhè lǐ bìng bú shì shén me lǐ xiǎng de xiū liàn chǎng suǒ ， hé kuàng wǒ yǒu yāo yǎn shě lì ， huí dào rén jiè yǐ hòu yī yàng kě yǐ qīng sōng xiū liàn fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué de 。
“不舍得又能如何，难道我还能够一直留在这里修炼么？”林轩苦笑着摇了摇头：“对于人类来说，这里并不是什么理想的修炼场所，何况我有妖眼舍利，回到人界以后一样可以轻松修炼凤舞九天诀的。
"I don’t care; I’m just trying it out. It won’t cost me anything," Lin Xuan said with a sly smile.
“ zhè dǎo shì ， bù guò shào yé zhǔn bèi lí qù ， yòu hé bì dà fēi zhōu zhé ， shōu nà jīn líng xiān zi wèi nú ， zài tā shēn shàng zhòng xià xuè guāng liàn hún shù ， zhè bú shì duō cǐ yī jǔ me ， nán dào nǐ yǐ hòu hái dǎ suàn huí zhè yāo líng dǎo zhōng ？” yuè ér yǒu diǎn bù jiě de kāi kǒu 。
“这倒是，不过少爷准备离去，又何必大非周折，收那金灵仙子为奴，在她身上种下血光炼魂术，这不是多此一举么，难道你以后还打算回这妖灵岛中？”月儿有点不解的开口。
If he hadn't planted the Bloodlight Soul Refinement Technique, he wouldn’t have handed over the禁神令符 so freely and given her several treasures.
“ wǒ hái huí lái zuò shén me ， bù guò ； yě bié tài xiǎo kàn jīn líng zhè nǚ zǐ le ， suī rán tā xiàn zài cái gāng gāng níng dān chéng gōng ， bù guò tā chún jīn shǔ xìng líng gēn ， kě shì bǐ shèng líng gēn hái shèng shàng yī chóu ， yuán běn de jié mài zhī tǐ jìn gù ， níng dān chéng gōng hòu wēi jú yǐ jīng jiě chú ， rì hòu xiū xíng bì yī rì qiān lǐ ， qián tú bù kě xiàn liàng de 。”
“我还回来做什么，不过；也别太小看金灵这女子了，虽然她现在才刚刚凝丹成功，不过她纯金属性灵根，可是比圣灵根还胜上一筹，原本的截脉之体禁锢，凝丹成功后危局已经解除，日后修行必一日千里，前途不可限量的。”
With many magical artifacts at his disposal, he might as well use them to win hearts. The art of ruling involves both kindness and severity; Jin Ling felt both gratitude and fear towards him.
“ shào yé gāi bú huì xiǎng shuō tā rì hòu bù jǐn néng gòu jié yīng chéng gōng ， hái yǒu kě néng tū pò lí hé qī ， fēi shēng qù shàng jiè ？” yuè ér liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī hú yí ， míng xiǎn yǒu xiē bù tài xiāng xìn le 。
“少爷该不会想说她日后不仅能够结婴成功，还有可能突破离合期，飞升去上界？”月儿脸上露出一丝狐疑，明显有些不太相信了。
Whether they would meet again was uncertain, but leaving some leverage never hurt.
The sight before him left Jin Ling's face aghast. However, the woman was quite shrewd and immediately ordered the cultivators to disperse. After a moment of hesitation, she slowly made her way towards Lin Xuan’s abode.
"Congratulations, young master. You've managed to complete the first level of Lü Feng Wu Jiu in just fifteen years."

Finally, Lin Xuan arrived at the insect room where he kept the demon bees.
Though he had been in seclusion for many years, he occasionally checked on the insects during breaks from meditation. Initially, 紫莲木had shown significant effects, but after three years, the玉罗蜂had grown significantly and molted like a snake, surprising Lin Xuan with its newfound ferocity.
