zhè nǚ de bì dìng wú shì ， yě jiù zàn qiě fàng xià le xīn shì 。
这女的必定无事，也就暂且放下了心事。
This woman was clearly unharmed, so Lin Xuan put his worries aside for now.
zhì yú mǎ tiān xióng wèi hé huì rù zhuì xiǎo jiā zú ， bìng dài lǐng mén rén luò hù cǐ chù ， lín xuān bìng bù gǎn xìng qù ， suí yì xián liáo le jǐ jù ， jiù gǒng shǒu gào cí 。
至于马天雄为何会入赘小家族，并带领门人落户此处，林轩并不感兴趣，随意闲聊了几句，就拱手告辞。
As for why Master Ma Tianxiong had married into a small family and brought his disciples to settle here, Lin Xuan wasn't particularly interested. He chatted casually before taking his leave with a bow.
“ lín mǒu hái yǒu yào shì ， bù néng zài zhè lǐ dān gē ， wǒ men yǒu yuán zài jiàn hǎo le 。”
“林某还有要事，不能在这里耽搁，我们有缘再见好了。”
"I have other matters to attend to; I can’t linger here. Let's meet again by chance."
shuō wán yǐ hòu ， lín xuān yě bù děng duì fāng wǎn liú ， zhí jiē huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
说完以后，林轩也不等对方挽留，直接化为一道惊虹，消失得无影无踪。
After speaking, Lin Xuan didn’t wait for the other party’s invitation but transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished without a trace.
mǎ tiān xióng zhāng kǒu jié shé ， liǎn shàng lù chū kě xī zhī sè ， bì jìng yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě kě bú shì tā zhè zhǒng děng jí de xiū shì kě yǐ suí yì yù shàng de 。
马天雄张口结舌，脸上露出可惜之色，毕竟元婴期修仙者可不是他这种等级的修士可以随意遇上的。
Master Ma Tianxong was left speechless, his face showing regret. After all, an Incorporeal Stage cultivator wasn't something he could casually encounter at his level.
bù guò rén yào zhī zú ， dāi piàn kè yǐ hòu ， tā jiù cóng ér zi shǒu zhōng ná guò yù tǒng ， jiāng shén shí chén rù qí zhōng ……
不过人要知足，呆片刻以后，他就从儿子手中拿过玉筒，将神识沉入其中……
However, one must be content with what they have. After a moment, he took the jade cylinder from his son and sank his spirit into it...
què shuō lín xuān lí kāi líng yào shān yǐ hòu ， yī lù fēng chí diàn ， xiàng yōu zhōu fù dì fēi qù le 。
却说林轩离开灵药山以后，一路风驰电，像幽州腹地飞去了。
Meanwhile, after Lin Xuan left Spirit Medicine Mountain, he flew like a bolt of lightning towards the heart of Youzhou.
rán ér tā xuǎn de fāng xiàng jiào wéi qí tè ， yī lù shàng bié shuō xiū xiān zhě ， lián fán rén dōu méi yǒu yù jiàn jǐ gè 。
然而他选的方向较为奇特，一路上别说修仙者，连凡人都没有遇见几个。
His chosen direction was rather peculiar; not only did he not encounter any cultivators along the way, but even ordinary people were few and far between.
dà yuē rì luò shí fēn ， yī zuò guāng tū tū de shān mài duǒ rù yǎn lián ， lín xuān shén sè yī xǐ ， dùn guāng biàn dé yuè de jìn jí 。
大约日落时分，一座光秃秃的山脉躲入眼帘，林轩神色一喜，遁光变得越的劲急。
By the time the sun began to set, a barren mountain range came into view. Lin Xuan’s expression brightened as his flight speed increased further.
nà ；I， gāo yuē yǒu liǎng qiān mǐ ， zhí bèi xī shū ， bù shí kě yǐ zài lù páng kàn jiàn dòng wù de kū gǔ ， yǐn yǐn de ， tòu chū yī bǎn yīn sēn guǐ yì zhī qì 。
那；I，高约有两千米，植被稀疏，不时可以在路旁看见动物的枯骨，隐隐的，透出一版阴森诡异之气。
This mountain stood about two thousand meters high, with sparse vegetation. Occasionally, one could see the bones of animals by the roadside, giving off an eerie and sinister atmosphere.
“ shào yé ， zhè lǐ …… wǒ men hǎo xiàng lái guò 。” bái guāng yī shǎn ， yuè ér chū xiàn zài le yǎn qián 。
“少爷，这里……我们好像来过。”白光一闪，月儿出现在了眼前。
"Master, this place... we seem to have been here before," a beam of light flashed, and Mo'er appeared in front of him.
“ nà shì dāng rán ， mò fēi $$； bú jì dé yīn guǐ shàng rén le ？” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“那是当然，莫非$$；不记得阴鬼上人了？”林轩微笑着说。
"That’s right, don’t you remember Master Yin Ghost?" Lin Xuan smiled.
“ yīn guǐ shàng rén ， xiǎo bì zì rán jì de ， dāng nián shào yé wèi le tì wǒ xún zhǎo gōng fǎ ， céng jīng chū shǒu jié shā yú tā ， kě wǒ men lái zhè lǐ gàn má ？”
“阴鬼上人，小婢自然记得，当年少爷为了替我寻找功法，曾经出手截杀于他，可我们来这里干嘛？”
"Of course, I remember Master Yin Ghost. Back then, you once intercepted and attacked him on my behalf when seeking cultivation techniques. Why are we here?"
“ zì rán shì wèi $$； níng jié yuán yīng zuò zhǔn bèi la 。”
“自然是为$$；凝结元婴做准备啦。”
"To prepare for condensing the Incorporeal Core," Lin Xuan said with a hint of anticipation.
“ jié yīng ？”
“结婴？”
"Condensing the Incorporeal Core?" Mo'er asked hesitantly.
“ bù cuò 。” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn qī xǔ zhī sè ：“ zài yāo líng dǎo zhī shí ，$$； jiù yǐ jīng chěn dào le níng dān qī dà yuán mǎn ， zhè xiē shí rì yǐ lái ， fǎ lì hěn nán jì xù wǎng qián ， jì rán rú cǐ ， dāng rán yào gèng jìn yí bù ， kàn néng fǒu yǒu jī huì jié yīng chéng gōng 。”
“不错。”林轩脸上露出几分期许之色：“在妖灵岛之时，$$；就已经碜到了凝丹期大圆满，这些时日以来，法力很难继续往前，既然如此，当然要更进一步，看能否有机会结婴成功。”
"Yes." Lin Xuan’s face showed hope: "Back on Demon Spirit Island, I had already reached the peak of Condensation Core. These days, my cultivation energy has hit a wall. Since that's the case, we should try to advance further and see if there's any chance of successfully condensing the Incorporeal Core."
“ kě shì xiǎo bì bìng méi yǒu duō shǎo bǎ wò 。” yuè ér liǎn shàng lù chū le jǐ fēn tǎn tè 。
“可是小婢并没有多少把握。”月儿脸上露出了几分忐忑。
"But Mo'er doesn’t have much confidence," Mo'er’s face showed some anxiety.
“ zhè ge wǒ qīng chǔ ， bì jìng $$； nǎi yīn hún zhī xiū ， bù néng jiè yòng dān yào fǔ zhù ， dàn fàng xīn ， shào yé wǒ huì jìn lì bāi $$； de 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“这个我清楚，毕竟$$；乃阴魂之休，不能借用丹药辅助，但放心，少爷我会尽力擘$$；的。”林轩微笑着说。
"I understand. After all, you are an incorporeal spirit, unable to use pills for assistance. But don't worry; I will do my best to help you." Lin Xuan smiled reassuringly.
“ hǎo ， nà xiǎo bì jiù shì yī shì hǎo le 。” níng shì zhe lín xuān de shuāng móu ， yuè ér diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
“好，那小婢就试一试好了。”凝视着林轩的双眸，月儿点了点头。
"Alright, then let me give it a try." Mo'er nodded as she looked into Lin Xuan’s eyes.
ér lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ gù dì zhòng yóu ， yě shì yīn wèi rén jiè yīn mài shí zài bù duō ， zhè lǐ qià hǎo què yǒu yī chù ， lín xuān zhǔn bèi zài zhè lǐ kāi pì yī chù lín shí de dòng fǔ ， yǒu yīn qì fǔ zuǒ ， yuè ér jié yīng de jī huì yě yào dà yī xiē de 。
而林轩之所以故地重游，也是因为人界阴脉实在不多，这里恰好却有一处，林轩准备在这里开辟一处临时的洞府，有阴气辅佐，月儿结婴的机会也要大一些的。
Lin Xuan had revisited this place because there were few Yin veins in the mortal world, and this location just happened to have one. He intended to establish a temporary abode here with the help of the Yin energy, increasing Mo'er's chances of successfully condensing her Incorporeal Core.
hé xiǎo yā tou shuō wán yǐ hòu ， lín xuān chóng xīn huà wèi le yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi xiàng le shān mài shēn chù 。
和小丫头说完以后，林轩重新化为了一道惊虹，飞向了山脉深处。
After finishing his conversation with Mo'er, Lin Xuan transformed into another streak of lightning and flew deeper into the mountain range.
piàn kè yǐ hòu ， biàn lái dào le yī chù xiá gǔ ， zhè lǐ shì yīn mài quán yǎn suǒ zài zhī chù 。
片刻以后，便来到了一处峡谷，这里是阴脉泉眼所在之处。
Soon, he arrived at a valley where the source of the Yin vein was located.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ……
林轩将神识放出……
Lin Xuan released his spirit...
shén me yě méi yǒu ， bié shuō rén lèi le ， fāng yuán bǎi lǐ zhī zhōng ， shèn zhì lián dòng wù yě shí fēn xī yǒu 。
什么也没有，别说人类了，方圆百里之中，甚至连动物也十分稀有。
There was nothing to be seen; not even in this hundred-mile radius were there any humans or animals. Lin Xuan’s face showed satisfaction. The quietness here would be best for Mo'er.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì de xiào róng ， jié yīng zuì jì dǎ rǎo ， yùn ér rú cǐ ān jìng zì shì zuì hǎo 。
林轩脸上露出满意的笑容，结婴最忌打扰，运儿如此安静自是最好。
He raised his left hand, and his sleeve fluttered as several sword lights emerged, growing larger with the wind, and fiercely struck the opposite mountain wall...
tā tái qǐ zuǒ shǒu ， yī xiù suí fēng piāo dòng ， shù _1 dào jiàn guāng yú yóu ér chū ， jiàn fēng jiù zhǎng ， hěn hěn de cháo zhe duì miàn de shān bì pī shàng ……
他抬起左手，衣袖随风飘动，数_1道剑光鱼游而出，见风就涨，狠狠的朝着对面的山壁劈上……
A loud rumbling filled the air as Lin Xuan was well-versed in establishing a cave dwelling. In no time, he had a satisfactory residence.
ěr biān chuán lái hōng lōng lóng jù xiǎng ， kāi pì dòng fǔ lín xuān shú mén shú lù ， bù xiāo piàn kè ， jiù yǒu le yī mǎn yì de jū suǒ 。
耳边传来轰隆隆巨响，开辟洞府林轩熟门熟路，不消片刻，就有了一满意的居所。
Next, he retrieved an array of flags and arranged them around the area. The entire process took only half an hour.
suí hòu tā zài qǔ chū yī tào zhèn qí ， zài zhōu wéi cóng róng bù zhì ， zhěng gè guò chéng wán bì ， yě bù guò huā le xiǎo bàn gè shí chén ér yǐ 。
随后他再取出一套阵旗，在周围从容布置，整个过程完毕，也不过花了小半个时辰而已。
Lin Xuan led Mo'er into the cave.
lín xuān dài zhe yuè ér fēi le jìn qù 。
林轩带着月儿飞了进去。
Unlike their previous solitary seclusion for cultivation, this time Lin Xuan was specifically helping Mo'er condense her Incorporeal Core, so they only set up a practice room.
bù guò yǔ yǐ qián gè zì bì guān xiū liàn bù tóng ， zhè huí ， lín xuān kě shì zhuān mén bāng zhù yuè ér níng jié yuán yīng lái de ， yīn cǐ ， zhǐ zuò le yī jiān liàn gōng fáng 。
不过与以前各自闭关修炼不同，这回，林轩可是专门帮助月儿凝结元婴来的，因此，只做了一间练功房。
Entering the room, Mo'er’s delicate hands flipped as she retrieved the Beast Soul Flag.
jìn rù lǐ miàn yǐ hòu ， yuè ér yù shǒu fān zhuǎn ， xiān dēng shòu hún fān qǔ le chū lái 。
进入里面以后，月儿玉手翻转，先登兽魂幡取了出来。
Initially, he had thought that after defeating Ma Yun Tong, there wouldn’t be any trouble. However, it turned out that the opponent had actually raised blood ghosts, fierce and formidable creatures.
jiǎo miè mǎ yún tōng yī zhàn ， yuán běn yǐ wéi bú huì yǒu shén me bō wéi ， què xiǎng bú dào duì fāng jū rán sì yǎng yǒu xuè guǐ zhè zhǒng xiōng lì zhī wù 。
剿灭马云通一战，原本以为不会有什么波涠，却想不到对方居然饲养有血鬼这种凶厉之物。
Unfortunately, this fellow put in a lot of effort only to end up helping others. The blood ghost fell into Mo'er’s hands.
kě xī zhè jiā huo fèi jìn xīn jī ， zuì hòu què wèi tā rén zuò le jià yī ， xuè guǐ luò rù le yuè ér de shǒu lǐ 。
可惜这家伙费劲心机，最后却为他人做了嫁衣，血鬼落入了月儿的手里。
Unlike ordinary incorporeal spirits, this was a genuine monster from the Netherworld Realm, far more vicious than regular厉鬼.
yǔ pǔ tōng de yīn hún bù tóng ， zhè kě shì huò zhēn jià shí de yīn sī jiè guài wù ， ér qiě yuǎn bǐ yì bān de tóng jiē lì guǐ xiōng hěn dé duō 。
与普通的阴魂不同，这可是货真价实的阴司界怪物，而且远比一般的同阶厉鬼凶狠得多。
Therefore, simply storing it in the Beast Soul Flag wasn’t enough; she needed to first perform a ritual to recognize her as its master. Otherwise, there might be retaliation. Before attempting to condense the Incorporeal Core, Mo'er planned to handle this matter first.
yīn cǐ bìng fēi shōu rù shòu hún fān jiù wán le 。 xiǎng yào wán quán cāo kòng ， bì jìng xiān jì liàn rèn zhǔ ， fǒu zé shuō bù dìng huì bèi fǎn shì de 。 zài zhǔn bèi jié yīng yǐ qián ， yuè ér zhǔn bèi xiān jiāng cǐ shì chǔ lǐ yī fān 。
因此并非收入兽魂幡就完了。想要完全操控，毕竟先祭炼认主，否则说不定会被反噬的。在准备结婴以前，月儿准备先将此事处理一番。
Lin Xuan nodded, agreeing with her decision. Although the Demonic Sovereign of Extreme Evil was only an Incorporeal中期 cultivator, the profound and intricate Netherworldly Great Dao was indeed a powerful technique.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， zhè ge jué dìng dào yǔ tā bù móu ér hé ， shuō qǐ lái ， jí è mó zūn suī rán jǐn jǐn shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de guǐ xiū ， dàn xuán mó dà gū què shēn ào yì cháng ， shí nǎi jiān shén tōng 。
林轩点了点头，这个决定倒与他不谋而合，说起来，极恶魔尊虽然仅仅是元婴中期的鬼修，但玄魔大沽却深奥异常，实乃尖神通。
Inside the text were potent treasures, such as the Beast Soul Flag, which could contain myriad souls. While it wasn’t quite on par with Lin Xuan’s Nine Heaven Moon Ring in quality, it was still not to be underestimated.
lǐ miàn jì zǎi de fǎ bǎo yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bǐ rú shuō shòu hún fān ， néng gòu róng nà wàn hún ， suī rán cóng pǐn zhì lái shuō ， bǐ lín xuān de jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán shāo xùn yī chóu ， dàn yě shì jué bù róng xiǎo shì de 。
里面记载的法宝也非同小可，比如说兽魂幡，能够容纳万魂，虽然从品质来说，比林轩的九天明月环稍逊一筹，但也是绝不容小视的。
Mo'er’s delicate hands moved, and the Beast Soul Flag floated above her head. Then she murmured a few incantations, causing the flag to spin wildly as dark energy surged forth. Within this energy, a blood-red figure flickered.
yuè ér yù shǒu jī yáng ， shòu hún fān piāo fú dào le tóu dǐng zhī shàng ， suí hòu tā yīng chún wēi qǐ ， nán nán de tǔ chū le jǐ jù zhòu yǔ ， shòu hún fān kāi shǐ kāi shǐ dī liū liū pán xuán ， wú shù mó qì yǒng chū ， ér zài mó qì zhī zhōng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu yī xuè hóng sè de shēn yǐng shǎn dòng 。
月儿玉手激扬，兽魂幡漂浮到了头顶之上，随后她樱唇微启，喃喃的吐出了几句咒语，兽魂幡开始开始滴溜溜盘旋，无数魔气涌出，而在魔气之中，隐隐有一血红色的身影闪动。
Standing over a meter tall with sharp teeth and horns on its forehead, it was unmistakably a blood ghost.
shēn gāo zhàng yú ， jiān yá lì chǐ ， é tóu shàng hái shēng dé yǒu jiǎo ， bú yòng shuō ， zhè zì rán shì xuè guǐ wú yí 。
身高丈余，尖牙利齿，额头上还生得有角，不用说，这自然是血鬼无疑。
The moment it appeared, a nauseating stench filled the stone chamber. But Lin Xuan wasn’t bothered; Mo'er being an incorporeal spirit meant she had nothing to fear.
kǔn ； yī chū xiàn ， zhěng gè shí shì jiù mí màn qǐ le yī gǔ zhōng rén yù ǒu de xuè xīng zhī qì 。 bù guò lín xuān zì rán bù zài hū ， yuè ér shì yīn hún ， jiù gèng jiā méi shén me hǎo pà de le 。
悃；一出现，整个石室就弥漫起了一股中人欲呕的血腥之气。不过林轩自然不在乎，月儿是阴魂，就更加没什么好怕的了。
Netherworldly monsters were naturally fierce and vicious, and as one of the best in its category, the blood ghost was impatient after being confined for so long. As soon as it emerged, it snarled and lunged at them, wanting to tear them apart.
yīn sī jiè de guài wù běn jiù xiōng cán hěn dú ， gèng hé kuàng xuè guǐ hái shì qí zhōng de jiǎo jiǎo zhě ， bèi wéi zài shòu hún fān lǐ rú cǐ duō tiān ， kǔn ； zǎo jiù bù nài fán ， zhè yī chū lái ， lì kè zī yá liě dí de xiàng liǎng rén chōng lái 。
阴司界的怪物本就凶残狠毒，更何况血鬼还是其中的佼佼者，被围在兽魂幡里如此多天，悃；早就不耐烦，这一出来，立刻呲牙咧嘀的像两人冲来。
Mo'er raised her eyebrows and cast a spell with both hands towards her chest. The blood ghost immediately fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
xiǎng yào jiāng duì fāng sī wèi suì piàn 。
想要将对方撕为碎片。
Its limbs and torso were bound by a thick black chain, which only Mo'er could release without it escaping.
yuè ér méi tóu yī tiāo ， shuāng shǒu qiā jué wǎng xiōng qián zhè me qīng qīng yī tǒng ， xuè guǐ dùn shí pū tōng yī shēng diē dǎo ， mǎn dì dǎ gǔn ， chū qī lì de cǎn jiào 。
月儿眉头一挑，双手掐诀往胸前这么轻轻一统，血鬼顿时扑通一声跌倒，满地打滚，出凄厉的惨叫。
The chain was about as thick as a thumb and was formed from countless incorporeal spirits, carrying a heavy aura of malice. Despite its formidable powers, the blood ghost struggled to break free.
zhǐ jiàn kǔn ； de sì zhī xiōng fù ， dōu bèi yī tiáo cháng cháng hēi liàn suǒ zhe ， ruò méi yǒu jìn gù ， yuè ér qǐ huì fàng shùn chū lái ne ？
只见悃；的四肢胸腹，都被一条长长黑链锁着，若没有禁锢，月儿岂会放顺出来呢？
Mo'er raised her hand, and in her palm appeared an empty talisman. She then opened her lips and exhaled a stream of essence energy, using her finger as a pen to draw on the talisman.
nà suǒ liàn jǐn yǒu mǔ zhǐ cū xì ， què shì yóu wú shù yīn hún huàn huà ér chéng dì ， dài zhe nóng zhòng de lì qì ， xuè guǐ suī shén tōng bù ruò ， dàn yě zhēng zhá bù tuō 。
那锁链仅有拇指粗细，却是由无数阴魂幻化而成地，带着浓重的戾气，血鬼虽神通不弱，但也挣扎不脱。
It was strange; although the essence energy wasn’t condensed, it was still intangible. But for some reason, Mo'er’s secret technique caused the essence energy to imprint itself onto the blank talisman like ink.
yuè ér tái qǐ shǒu ， zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng chū xiàn le yī zhāng kòng bái de fú lí ， suí hòu tā yīng chún wēi qǐ ， pēn chū yī kǒu jīng qì ， yǐ zhǐ zuò bǐ ， xiàng fú chóu ！ bǐ huà diǎn qù 。
月儿抬起手，掌心之中出现了一张空白的符黧，随后她樱唇微启，喷出一口精气，以指做笔，像符筹！比划点去。
Lin Xuan nodded beside him. Mo'er had indeed not been lazy in mastering this technique of transforming energy into form. At the Condensation Core Stage, her cultivation energy had reached a high level.
shuō yě qí guài ， jīng qì suī shì zhēn wú suǒ jù ， dàn yě shì wú xíng de dōng xī ， rán ér cǐ kè ， bù zhī dào yuè ér shǐ yòng le shén me mì shù ， nà jīng qì jìng fǎng fú mò shuǐ yì bān ， yìn zài le kòng bái fú lí de shàng miàn 。
说也奇怪，精气虽是真无所聚，但也是无形的东西，然而此刻，不知道月儿使用了什么秘术，那精气竟仿佛墨水一般，印在了空白符黧的上面。
Although Lin Xuan could easily reclaim the blood ghost with his Incorporeal中期 cultivation, he deliberately watched from the sidelines to cultivate Mo'er’s abilities and independence.
lín xuān zhàn zài páng biān ， diǎn le diǎn tóu ， néng jiāng huà qì wèi xíng de shén tōng ， xiū liàn dào zhè zhǒng chéng guǐ ， yuè ér què shí méi yǒu tōu lǎn de ， yǐ níng dān qī de biāo zhǔn ér yán ， fǎ lì yǐ dào dà chéng de jìng jiè le 。
林轩站在旁边，点了点头，能将化气为形的神通，修炼到这种程庋，月儿确实没有偷懒的，以凝丹期的标准而言，法力已到大成的境界了。
In just a few breaths, Mo'er completed the talisman. Her face showed seriousness as she cast a spell, sending the talisman flying towards the blood ghost’s head.
qí shí yǐ lín xuān yuán yīng qī de xiū wèi ， shōu fù xuè guǐ qīng ér yì jǔ ， bù guò tā què gù yì xiù shǒu páng guān ， jiù shì xī wàng péi yǎng yuè ér de néng lì yǔ zhǔ jiàn 。
其实以林轩元婴期的修为，收复血鬼轻而易举，不过他却故意袖手旁观，就是希望培养月儿的能力与主见。
Although the blood ghost wasn’t intelligent, it instinctively sensed danger and struggled to dodge. Mo'er then activated the restrictions within the Ten Thousand Soul Chain without hesitation.
This woman was clearly unharmed, so Lin Xuan put his worries aside for now.
As for why Master Ma Tianxiong had married into a small family and brought his disciples to settle here, Lin Xuan wasn't particularly interested. He chatted casually before taking his leave with a bow.
"I have other matters to attend to; I can’t linger here. Let's meet again by chance."
After speaking, Lin Xuan didn’t wait for the other party’s invitation but transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished without a trace.
Master Ma Tianxong was left speechless, his face showing regret. After all, an Incorporeal Stage cultivator wasn't something he could casually encounter at his level.
However, one must be content with what they have. After a moment, he took the jade cylinder from his son and sank his spirit into it...
Meanwhile, after Lin Xuan left Spirit Medicine Mountain, he flew like a bolt of lightning towards the heart of Youzhou.
His chosen direction was rather peculiar; not only did he not encounter any cultivators along the way, but even ordinary people were few and far between.
By the time the sun began to set, a barren mountain range came into view. Lin Xuan’s expression brightened as his flight speed increased further.

Mo'er’s delicate hands moved, and the Beast Soul Flag floated above her head. Then she murmured a few incantations, causing the flag to spin wildly as dark energy surged forth. Within this energy, a blood-red figure flickered.
Standing over a meter tall with sharp teeth and horns on its forehead, it was unmistakably a blood ghost.
The moment it appeared, a nauseating stench filled the stone chamber. But Lin Xuan wasn’t bothered; Mo'er being an incorporeal spirit meant she had nothing to fear.
Netherworldly monsters were naturally fierce and vicious, and as one of the best in its category, the blood ghost was impatient after being confined for so long. As soon as it emerged, it snarled and lunged at them, wanting to tear them apart.
Mo'er raised her eyebrows and cast a spell with both hands towards her chest. The blood ghost immediately fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
Its limbs and torso were bound by a thick black chain, which only Mo'er could release without it escaping.
The chain was about as thick as a thumb and was formed from countless incorporeal spirits, carrying a heavy aura of malice. Despite its formidable powers, the blood ghost struggled to break free.
Mo'er raised her hand, and in her palm appeared an empty talisman. She then opened her lips and exhaled a stream of essence energy, using her finger as a pen to draw on the talisman.
It was strange; although the essence energy wasn’t condensed, it was still intangible. But for some reason, Mo'er’s secret technique caused the essence energy to imprint itself onto the blank talisman like ink.
Lin Xuan nodded beside him. Mo'er had indeed not been lazy in mastering this technique of transforming energy into form. At the Condensation Core Stage, her cultivation energy had reached a high level.
Although Lin Xuan could easily reclaim the blood ghost with his Incorporeal中期 cultivation, he deliberately watched from the sidelines to cultivate Mo'er’s abilities and independence.
In just a few breaths, Mo'er completed the talisman. Her face showed seriousness as she cast a spell, sending the talisman flying towards the blood ghost’s head.
Although the blood ghost wasn’t intelligent, it instinctively sensed danger and struggled to dodge. Mo'er then activated the restrictions within the Ten Thousand Soul Chain without hesitation.
