“ zhè lǐ jiù shì ōu yáng de dòng fǔ ？”
“这里就是欧阳的洞府？”
"Is this where Ou Yang's cave dwelling is?"
dǎ liàng zhuó yǎn qián de yī cǎo yī mù ， lín xuān liǎn shàng liú lù chū miǎn huái zhī sè ， fēng jǐng rú huà ， kě xī jiā rén yǐ yuǎn qiān dào yún zhōu qù le 。
打量着眼前的一草一木，林轩脸上流露出缅怀之色，风景如画，可惜佳人已远迁到云州去了。
Surveying the plants and trees before him, Lin Xuan's face showed a touch of nostalgia. The scenery was picturesque, but the beauty had moved far away to Yunzhou.
jì shì wú rén jū zhù ， dòng fǔ qián miàn dāng rán bù cún zài jìn zhì shén me ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， shí mén jiù hōng lōng lóng de dǎ kāi le 。
既是无人居住，洞府前面当然不存在禁制什么，林轩袖袍一拂，石门就轰隆隆的打开了。
Since no one lived here, there were naturally no restrictions in front of the cave dwelling. Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, and the stone door creaked open.
lín xuān huǎn bù ér rù 。
林轩缓步而入。
Lin Xuan stepped inside slowly.
bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， lín xuān lí kāi le cǐ chù 。
半个时辰以后，林轩离开了此处。
Half an hour later, he left the place.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， tā zhè me zuò háo wú yì yì ， yì diǎn shōu huò yě wú ， qí shí què bìng fēi rú cǐ lín xuān yǔ ōu yáng qín xīn xiàng lái guān xì bù cuò ， cǐ nǚ jué duì kě suàn tā de hóng yán zhī jǐ 。
表面上看，他这么做毫无意义，一点收获也无，其实却并非如此林轩与欧阳琴心向来关系不错，此女绝对可算他的红颜知己。
On the surface, what he did seemed meaningless, yielding no tangible gains. Yet, it was far from that. Lin Xuan had always gotten along well with Ou Yang Qinxin; she could be considered his bosom friend.
lín xuān qù ōu yáng de dòng fǔ yī yóu ， qí shí shì wèi le jiāng zì jǐ de xīn jìng mó lì 。
林轩去欧阳的洞府一游，其实是为了将自己的心境磨砺。
His visit to Ou Yang's cave dwelling was actually to hone his heart and mind. After all, compared to other cultivators of the same rank, he had progressed too quickly. This could easily lead to an unstable Dao heart. Therefore, Lin Xuan constantly sought opportunities to temper his heart and mind.
bì jìng yǔ tóng jiē xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， zì jǐ xiū liàn dù tài kuài le xiē ， zhè yàng róng yì zào chéng dào xīn bù wěn ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān wú shí wú kè bù zài zhǎo jī huì mó liàn xīn jìng 。
毕竟与同阶修士相比，自己修炼度太快了些，这样容易造成道心不稳，所以林轩无时无刻不在找机会磨练心境。
Gazing at things reminded him of people, especially a bosom friend, making it an excellent method.
dǔ wù sī rén ， yóu qí shì hóng yán zhī jǐ ， zhèng shì jué jiā de fāng fǎ zhī yī 。
睹物思人，尤其是红颜知己，正是绝佳的方法之一。
Returning to his own cave dwelling, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, breathing deeply, and tried to calm his agitated thoughts. The image of Ou Yang's graceful appearance and charming smile flashed through his mind as he wondered where she was now. Sighing, he cleared his mind and focused on the core of his being.
huí dào zì jǐ dòng fǔ ， lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， hū xī tǔ nà ， chóng xīn jiāng jì dòng de xīn qíng píng sī jí ōu yáng ， jiāo jiāo de yīn róng xiào mào yòu fú xiàn zài nǎo hǎi lǐ ， bù zhī dào tā rú jīn shēn zài nǎ lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， jiāng zá niàn cóng xīn zhōng pái chú ， bào yuán shǒu yī ， xī nà qǐ le tiān dì líng suī rán yǐ jìn jiē yuán yīng zhōng qī ， dàn lín xuān xiū liàn yī jiù yì rú jì wǎng de nǔ lì 。
回到自己洞府，林轩盘膝而坐，呼吸吐纳，重新将悸动的心情平思及欧阳，姣姣的音容笑貌又浮现在脑海里，不知道她如今身在哪林轩叹了口气，将杂念从心中排除，抱元守一，吸纳起了天地灵虽然已进阶元婴中期，但林轩修炼依旧一如既往的努力。
Though he had advanced to the middle stage of Immortal婴中期, Lin Xuan continued his rigorous cultivation practices without any letup.
zuò le sān cì dà zhōu tiān xún huán ， lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù jiàn shàng yī pāi ， yī jiàn fǎ bǎo yǐ bèi tā jì le qǐ lái 。
做了三次大周天循环，林轩伸出手来，在储物鉴上一拍，一件法宝已被他祭了起来。
After three rounds of grand circulation, Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and tapped a storage bracelet. A treasure was summoned before him.
sì sì fāng fāng ， sè zé jīn huáng ， nǎi shì yī hǎn jiàn de měi yù ， bú yòng shuō ， zhèng shì cóng qióng lǎo guài nà lǐ qiǎng lái de wǔ lóng xǐ 。
四四方方，色泽金黄，乃是一罕见的美玉，不用说，正是从穷老怪那里抢来的五龙玺。
Square in shape, golden in color, it was an exquisite jade. Without saying, this was the Five-Headed Seal he had seized from the Old Monster.
cǐ bǎo lín xuān céng qīn shēn lǐng jiào le kǔn ； de wēi lì ， jū rán néng gòu jiāng xiū shì de fǎ bǎo jìn zhì ， bìng zǔ gé qí yǔ zhǔ rén jiān de shén shí ， bié de shén tōng zàn qiě bù tí ， guāng zhè yì diǎn ， jiù lìng rén jīng chà bù yǐ 。
此宝林轩曾亲身领教了悃；的威力，居然能够将修士的法宝禁制，并阻隔其与主人间的神识，别的神通暂且不提，光这一点，就令人惊诧不已。
Lin Xuan had personally experienced its power; it could suppress cultivators' treasures and block their connection with their owners. Even if other abilities were not considered, just that feat alone was astonishing.
lín xuān shēn shǒu yī zhāo ， wǔ lóng xǐ jiù là le xià lái ， lín xuān jiāng kǔn ； ná zài shǒu zhōng xì xì guān kàn 。
林轩伸手一招，五龙玺就落了下来，林轩将悃；拿在手中细细观看。
Lin Xuan reached out, and the Five-Headed Seal descended to his hand. He examined it closely.
biǎo miàn fēi cháng guāng huá ， xiè shǒu shēng yūn ， rán ér jù tǐ shì hé zhǒng cái liào ， lín xuān jū rán kàn bù chū ， yóu qí yǐn rén zhǔ mù de shì ， kǔn ； de cè miàn ， diāo kè zhe wǔ tiáo xǔ xǔ rú shēng de jiāo lóng 。
表面非常光滑，绁手生晕，然而具体是何种材料，林轩居然看不出，尤其引人瞩目的是，悃；的侧面，雕刻着五条栩栩如生的蛟龙。
The surface was smooth, emitting a faint glow, but Lin Xuan could not determine its material. What drew attention was the vividly carved five dragons on one side of the seal.
jiāng cǐ bǎo ná zài zhǎng zhōng ， lín xuān lüè yī chí yí ， yī tuán líng guāng zài zhǎng xīn zhōng liàng qǐ ， xiān yòng qū shǐ pǔ tōng bǎo wù de fāng fǎ ， jiāng wǔ lóng xǐ jì liàn le yī cì 。
将此宝拿在掌中，林轩略一迟疑，一团灵光在掌心中亮起，先用驱使普通宝物的方法，将五龙玺祭炼了一次。
Hesitating for a moment, Lin Xuan conjured a ball of light in his palm and tried to control the Five-Headed Seal as he would with an ordinary treasure.
jiē zhe yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， cǐ bǎo guǒ rán dī liū liū de xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái le ， bìng fàng chū dà tuán de “ shào yé ， chéng le 。” yuè ér yǐ shǒu zhī hàn ， yǒu xiē xīn xǐ de shuō 。
接着一道法诀打出，此宝果然滴溜溜的旋转起来了，并放出大团的“少爷，成了。”月儿以手支颔，有些欣喜的说。
Next, he cast a spell, and the seal indeed spun around, emitting a large amount of "Young Master, it's done."
lín xuān què yáo le yáo tóu ， tā què shí chéng gōng qū shǐ le cǐ bǎo ， dàn bù zhī wèi hé ， què jué de yǒu zhòu le zhòu méi ， lín xuān zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， jiāng shī mó fàng le chū lái 。
林轩却摇了摇头，他确实成功驱使了此宝，但不知为何，却觉得有皱了皱眉，林轩在腰间一拍，将尸魔放了出来。
Moonie, with her chin propped up on her hand, looked pleased.
rán hòu qū shǐ wǔ lóng xǐ xiàng duì fāng de tóu dǐng zá luò ， shī mó yǎn zhōng xiōng guāng shǎn shuò ， pēn chū yī bǐng wū hēi yóu liàng de zhǎng gē 。
然后驱使五龙玺像对方的头顶砸落，尸魔眼中凶光闪烁，喷出一柄乌黑油亮的长戈。
But Lin Xuan shook his head. He had successfully controlled the seal, but for some reason, he felt something was amiss.
dùn shí yī líng wū guāng ， yī dào jīn máng ， zài bàn kōng zhōng chán dòu ， wǔ lóng xǐ méi yǒu shǐ yòng yún wù shén tōng ， jìng yǔ shī mó jì chū de bǎo wù xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
顿时一绫乌光，一道金芒，在半空中缠斗，五龙玺没有使用云雾神通，竟与尸魔祭出的宝物相差仿佛。
Frowning, Lin Xuan tapped his waist and released a Corpse Demon.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， zhè méi shén me hào qí guài ， wǔ lóng xǐ de zōng hé wēi lì yǐ jīng fēi fán ， rán ér lín xuān de méi tóu què yuè zhòu yuè jǐn le qǐ lái 。
表面上看，这没什么好奇怪，五龙玺的综合威力已经非凡，然而林轩的眉头却越皱越紧了起来。
Then, he used the Five-Headed Seal to strike at the demon's head. The demon's eyes flashed with ferocity as it spat out a long, black spear.
lüè yī chóu chú ， lín xuān zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， jū rán jiāng qīng huǒ jiàn jì le qǐ lái ， ér wǔ lóng xǐ biǎo miàn de líng guāng què kāi shǐ àn dàn ， lín xuān jiāng fù zài shàng miàn de shén shí shōu le huí lái 。
略一踌躇，林轩左手翻转，居然将青火剑祭了起来，而五龙玺表面的灵光却开始暗淡，林轩将附在上面的神识收了回来。
A stream of dark light clashed with golden light in mid-air, but the Five-Headed Seal did not use its cloud technique and seemed on par with the demon's treasure.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
On the surface, this was unremarkable, for the Five-Headed Seal's combined power was already extraordinary. However, Lin Xuan's frown deepened as he pondered.
lín xuān yī zhǐ diǎn qù ， xiān jiàn hěn hěn zhǎn xiàng le wǔ lóng xǐ ， yuè ér zhāng kāi le zuǐ bā ， shào yé ；……
林轩一指点去，仙剑狠狠斩向了五龙玺，月儿张开了嘴巴，少爷；……
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xuan flipped his left hand and summoned a sword, Qinghu Sword. The seal's light began to dim, and Lin Xuan retracted its spirit essence.
líng guāng bào shè ， qīng huǒ jiàn jū rán dào fēi le huí lái 。
灵光爆射，青火剑居然倒飞了回来。
"Quickly!"
lín xuān liǎn shàng xǐ sè yī shǎn ， lái dào wǔ lóng xǐ de miàn qián 。
林轩脸上喜色一闪，来到五龙玺的面前。
Lin Xuan pointed at the seal with one finger, and the divine sword fiercely slashed towards it. Moonie opened her mouth, "Young Master..."
“ guǒ rán yī yī yī yī yī yī ”
“果然一一一一一一”
A burst of light shot out, and Qinghu Sword flew back.
“ shào yé ， nǐ xiàn le shén me ？”
“少爷，你现了什么？”
Lin Xuan's face showed a flash of joy as he approached the Five-Headed Seal.
“ mài kàn ！”
“脉看！”
"Sure enough..."
shùn zhe lín xuān de shǒu zhǐ ， yuè ér xiàng wǔ lóng xǐ wàng qù ， zhǐ jiàn bèi qīng huǒ zhǎn guò de dì fāng ， yī jiù rú jìng zi bān píng huá ， bié shuō liè wén le ， lián xiē wēi hén jì dōu méi yǒu 。
顺着林轩的手指，月儿像五龙玺望去，只见被青火斩过的地方，依旧如镜子般平滑，别说裂纹了，连些微痕迹都没有。
"Young Master, what did you find?"
“ zhè zěn me kě néng ？”
“这怎么可能？”
"Inspect!"
yuè ér tuō kǒu jīng hū ， gāng gāng shào yé míng míng fàng qì le duì wǔ lóng xǐ de cāo kòng ， méi yǒu fǎ lì zhù rù ， zài hǎo de bǎo wù yě huī bù chū bàn diǎn shén tōng ， xī qīng huǒ fēng ruì wú bǐ ， zhè yàng de qíng kuàng xià ， bié shuō pǔ tōng bǎo wù ， jiù shì shào yé jiā rù le dà liàng zhēn xī cái liào de jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán ， yě bì bèi zhòng chuāng de 。
月儿脱口惊呼，刚刚少爷明明放弃了对五龙玺的操控，没有法力注入，再好的宝物也挥不出半点神通，西青火锋锐无比，这样的情况下，别说普通宝物，就是少爷加入了大量珍稀材料的九天明月环，也必被重创的。
Following Lin Xuan's finger, Moonie looked at the seal. The place where it had been cut by the Qinghu Sword remained smooth and unblemished, not even a trace of damage was visible.
zhè wǔ lóng xǐ yě tài jiān yìng le 。
这五龙玺也太坚硬了。
"How is this possible?"
“ bù zhǐ shì jiān yìng 。”
“不止是坚硬。”
Moonie exclaimed in surprise. Young Master clearly abandoned control over the Five-Headed Seal; without any spiritual energy input, no matter how precious the treasure, it could not unleash any power. The Qinghu Sword's sharpness was unmatched, and under such circumstances, even a rare Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring would have been severely damaged.
lín xuān lū dào le yuè ér xiǎng shuō shén me ， zuǒ shǒu huī dòng ， yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn chū xiàn zài huà wèi huǒ xiàn ， jiāng wǔ lóng xǐ bāo guǒ ， rán ér chú le jiāng cǐ bǎo yìng chèn dé lǜ yóu yóu zhī wài ， yě méi yǒu kàn dào bàn diǎn zuò yòng 。
林轩撸到了月儿想说什么，左手挥动，一团鸡蛋大小的火焰出现在化为火线，将五龙玺包裹，然而除了将此宝映衬得绿油油之外，也没有看到半点作用。
The Five-Headed Seal was too hard.
lín xuān wú wǎng bù lì de mó yán ， fǎng fú yī xià zi biàn wèi le fán huǒ 。
林轩无往不利的魔炎，仿佛一下子变为了凡火。
"Not just hard."
jiē xià lái ， lín xuān jiāng shǒu duàn yī yī shǐ chū ， rán ér bù guǎn shì zhēn guì bǎo wù ， hái shì jīng miào mì shù ， dōu ná zhè gǔ guài de yù xǐ méi zhé 。
接下来，林轩将手段一一使出，然而不管是珍贵宝物，还是精妙秘术，都拿这古怪的玉玺没辙。
Lin Xuan waved his hand as if to forestall what Moonie wanted to say. A small ball of fire appeared in his left hand and turned into a flame line, enveloping the seal. However, it only made the seal appear greenish without any other effect.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē gǔ guài ， dàn chú le xiē wēi wú nài yǐ wài ， huān xǐ gèng duō ， xiǎn rán cǐ bǎo de zhēn guì ， hái yuǎn yuǎn guò zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de 。
林轩的脸色有些古怪，但除了些微无奈以外，欢喜更多，显然此宝的珍贵，还远远过自己想象的。
Lin Xuan's invincible demonic flames seemed to have become ordinary flames.
kě xī jiù shì bàn diǎn tóu xù yě méi yǒu 。
可惜就是半点头绪也没有。
Next, Lin Xuan tried various methods but found no success with either precious treasures or subtle techniques against this strange jade seal.
chén yín yī huì er zhī hòu ， lín xuān zhāng kāi kǒu ， liǎng dào yín máng fēi lüè ér chū ， dī liū liū pán xuán zài tā de shēn qián ， bú yòng shuō ， zhèng shì tā huā liǎo wú shù xīn xuè de běn mìng fǎ bǎo 。
沉吟一会儿之后，林轩张开口，两道银芒飞掠而出，滴溜溜盘旋在他的身前，不用说，正是他花了无数心血的本命法宝。
Lin Xuan's expression was a bit peculiar, but his joy outweighed his slight disappointment. Clearly, the treasure's value far exceeded his imagination.
zhè duì shuāng huán yòng le dà liàng de zhēn xī cái liào ， shèn zhì hái bāo kuò nán míng lí huǒ ， wàn nián xuě jīng děng nì tiān zhī wù ， rán ér wēi lì què yì zhí méi yǒu chū zhòng zhī chù 。
这对双环用了大量的珍稀材料，甚至还包括南明离火，万年雪晶等逆天之物，然而威力却一直没有出众之处。
Unfortunately, he still had no clue about it.
yī lái shì yóu yú xīn liàn ， zài dān tián zhōng péi liàn de shí jiān tài duǎn ， èr lái lín xuān xiū wèi bù gòu 「 yě bù zú yǐ huī chū kǔn ； de shén tōng 。
一来是由于新炼，在丹田中培炼的时间太短，二来林轩修为不够「也不足以挥出悃；的神通。
After some thought, Lin Xuan opened his mouth and two silver beams shot out, swirling before him. These were his precious命宝, which he had spent countless efforts refining.
dǎ gè bǐ fāng ， zài shì sú ， zhòng dá liǎng sān bǎi jīn de dà chuí ， zài zhàn chǎng shàng wēi lì wú bǐ ， dí rén zhuàng shàng jiù sǐ ， cā zhe jiù wáng 。
打个比方，在世俗，重达两三百斤的大锤，在战场上威力无比，敌人撞上就死，擦着就亡。
These double rings used a large amount of rare materials, including the Southern Bright Fire and ten-thousand-year-old snow crystal, but their power remained unremarkable.
dàn yě yào kàn shén me rén shǐ 。
但也要看什么人使。
One reason was that they were newly refined and had not been sufficiently cultivated in his dantian. Another was that his cultivation level was insufficient to unleash the seal's true power.
rú guǒ shì yī lì dà wú qióng de yǒng shì ， rén yǔ qì wán měi pèi hé ， zì rán shì yǒu wàn fū bù dāng zhī yǒng 。
如果是一力大无穷的勇士，人与器完美配合，自然是有万夫不当之勇。
For example, a heavy hammer weighing two or three hundred pounds could be devastating on a battlefield, killing those who touched it and maiming those who merely brushed against it.
kě rú guǒ huàn yī míng lì qì shāo chà zhī rén ， suī rán yě néng jiāng dà chuí ná qǐ 「 què hěn liǎng qiáng ， gēn běn jiù wǔ dòng bù kāi ， zhòng bīng qì de wēi lì fǎn ér huī bù chū lái 。
可如果换一名力气稍差之人，虽然也能将大锤拿起「却很魉强，根本就舞动不开，重兵器的威力反而挥不出来。
But it depended on who wielded it.
lín xuān jiù shì zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， yǐ qián tā xiū wèi bù zú ， qū shǐ jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán ， zhǐ néng huī chū pí máo shén tōng ， kě xiàn zài jìn jiē zhōng qī ， yóu qí xiū liàn fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué hòu ， shēn tǐ qiáng dù dà dà jiā qiáng ， zài lái shǐ yòng cǐ bǎo ， wēi lì jiù dà bù yí yàng 。
林轩就是这种情况，以前他修为不足，驱使九天明月环，只能挥出皮毛神通，可现在进阶中期，尤其修炼凤舞九天诀后，身体强度大大加强，再来使用此宝，威力就大不一样。
If wielded by an immensely strong warrior, the weapon and user would complement each other perfectly, giving them unparalleled strength.
lín xuān yī shǒu yī zhī ， jiāng shuāng huán fēn bié wò zài zhǎng xīn lǐ ， hún shēn de fǎ lì zhù rù jìn qù ， rán hòu liǎng shǒu gāo gāo tái qǐ ， zài tóng shí xiàng xià huī luò 。
林轩一手一支，将双环分别握在掌心里，浑身的法力注入进去，然后两手高高抬起，再同时向下挥落。
However, if used by someone with slightly less strength, they could barely lift the hammer and struggle to move it. The power of heavy weapons could not be unleashed.
dùn shí ， liǎng dào zhí jìng chǐ xǔ de yuè yá guāng rèn chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
顿时，两道直径尺许的月牙光刃出现在了视线里。
Lin Xuan was in this situation. Previously, his low cultivation level limited him to merely using a fraction of the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring's power. Now, having advanced to the middle stage, especially after practicing the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique, his body had significantly strengthened. Using this treasure now yielded much greater effects.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn bìng bù qǐ yǎn ， rán ér kōng jiān jìng rán chū chī chī de shēng xiǎng ， jiù fǎng fú yào bèi sī dāng rán ， lín xuān kě méi yǒu xiū liàn guò kōng jiān shén tōng ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán gèng bú shì jù yǒu lèi sì shǔ xìng de bǎo wù ， zhǐ bù guò shì yóu yú zhè liǎng dào guāng rèn de wēi lì tài dà le ， cái huì chū xiàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng de 。
表面上看并不起眼，然而空间竟然出嗤嗤的声响，就仿佛要被撕当然，林轩可没有修炼过空间神通，九天明月环更不是具有类似属性的宝物，只不过是由于这两道光刃的威力太大了，才会出现这种情况的。
Lin Xuan held one ring in each hand and poured all his spiritual energy into them. Then, he raised both hands high before bringing them down simultaneously.
rán ér lín xuān bìng bù gǎng zú ， shuāng shǒu huī dòng ， qīng chì yī shēng ：“ hé ！”
然而林轩并不港足，双手挥动，轻叱一声：“合！”
Suddenly, two crescent-shaped light blades appeared in his vision.
dùn shí bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le ， liǎng dào guāng rèn hé èr wéi yī ， yào zhī dào tā men yī dào zhàn lán ， yī dào xiān hóng ， kě shì shuǐ huǒ bù tóng shǔ xìng de 。
顿时不可思议的一幕出现了，两道光刃合二为一，要知道他们一道湛蓝，一道鲜红，可是水火不同属性的。
Though unremarkable at first glance, the space seemed to emit a sizzling sound as if it was being torn apart. However, Lin Xuan had not practiced spatial techniques, and Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring was not a treasure with similar properties; this effect merely arose from the immense power of these light blades.
cháng yán shuō ， shuǐ huǒ bù róng ， kě xiāng fǎn shǔ xìng de líng lì róng hé zài yì qǐ ， gèng shì wēi lì wú bǐ 。
常言说，水火不容，可相反属性的灵力融合在一起，更是威力无比。
However, Lin Xuan was not satisfied. He waved his hands and shouted, "Combine!"
Suddenly, an unbelievable scene unfolded as the two light blades merged into one. They were different colors—one blue and the other red—representing opposite elements.
It is said that water and fire do not mix, but when opposite attributes of spiritual energy fused together, their combined power was even more formidable.
"Is this where Ou Yang's cave dwelling is?"
Surveying the plants and trees before him, Lin Xuan's face showed a touch of nostalgia. The scenery was picturesque, but the beauty had moved far away to Yunzhou.
Since no one lived here, there were naturally no restrictions in front of the cave dwelling. Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, and the stone door creaked open.
Lin Xuan stepped inside slowly.
Half an hour later, he left the place.
On the surface, what he did seemed meaningless, yielding no tangible gains. Yet, it was far from that. Lin Xuan had always gotten along well with Ou Yang Qinxin; she could be considered his bosom friend.
His visit to Ou Yang's cave dwelling was actually to hone his heart and mind. After all, compared to other cultivators of the same rank, he had progressed too quickly. This could easily lead to an unstable Dao heart. Therefore, Lin Xuan constantly sought opportunities to temper his heart and mind.
Gazing at things reminded him of people, especially a bosom friend, making it an excellent method.
Returning to his own cave dwelling, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, breathing deeply, and tried to calm his agitated thoughts. The image of Ou Yang's graceful appearance and charming smile flashed through his mind as he wondered where she was now. Sighing, he cleared his mind and focused on the core of his being.
Though he had advanced to the middle stage of Immortal婴中期, Lin Xuan continued his rigorous cultivation practices without any letup.
After three rounds of grand circulation, Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and tapped a storage bracelet. A treasure was summoned before him.
Square in shape, golden in color, it was an exquisite jade. Without saying, this was the Five-Headed Seal he had seized from the Old Monster.
Lin Xuan had personally experienced its power; it could suppress cultivators' treasures and block their connection with their owners. Even if other abilities were not considered, just that feat alone was astonishing.

Next, he cast a spell, and the seal indeed spun around, emitting a large amount of "Young Master, it's done."
Moonie, with her chin propped up on her hand, looked pleased.
But Lin Xuan shook his head. He had successfully controlled the seal, but for some reason, he felt something was amiss.
Frowning, Lin Xuan tapped his waist and released a Corpse Demon.
Then, he used the Five-Headed Seal to strike at the demon's head. The demon's eyes flashed with ferocity as it spat out a long, black spear.
A stream of dark light clashed with golden light in mid-air, but the Five-Headed Seal did not use its cloud technique and seemed on par with the demon's treasure.

The Five-Headed Seal was too hard.
"Not just hard."
Lin Xuan waved his hand as if to forestall what Moonie wanted to say. A small ball of fire appeared in his left hand and turned into a flame line, enveloping the seal. However, it only made the seal appear greenish without any other effect.
Lin Xuan's invincible demonic flames seemed to have become ordinary flames.
Next, Lin Xuan tried various methods but found no success with either precious treasures or subtle techniques against this strange jade seal.
Lin Xuan's expression was a bit peculiar, but his joy outweighed his slight disappointment. Clearly, the treasure's value far exceeded his imagination.
Unfortunately, he still had no clue about it.
After some thought, Lin Xuan opened his mouth and two silver beams shot out, swirling before him. These were his precious命宝, which he had spent countless efforts refining.
These double rings used a large amount of rare materials, including the Southern Bright Fire and ten-thousand-year-old snow crystal, but their power remained unremarkable.
One reason was that they were newly refined and had not been sufficiently cultivated in his dantian. Another was that his cultivation level was insufficient to unleash the seal's true power.
For example, a heavy hammer weighing two or three hundred pounds could be devastating on a battlefield, killing those who touched it and maiming those who merely brushed against it.
But it depended on who wielded it.
If wielded by an immensely strong warrior, the weapon and user would complement each other perfectly, giving them unparalleled strength.
However, if used by someone with slightly less strength, they could barely lift the hammer and struggle to move it. The power of heavy weapons could not be unleashed.
Lin Xuan was in this situation. Previously, his low cultivation level limited him to merely using a fraction of the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring's power. Now, having advanced to the middle stage, especially after practicing the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique, his body had significantly strengthened. Using this treasure now yielded much greater effects.
Lin Xuan held one ring in each hand and poured all his spiritual energy into them. Then, he raised both hands high before bringing them down simultaneously.
Suddenly, two crescent-shaped light blades appeared in his vision.
Though unremarkable at first glance, the space seemed to emit a sizzling sound as if it was being torn apart. However, Lin Xuan had not practiced spatial techniques, and Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring was not a treasure with similar properties; this effect merely arose from the immense power of these light blades.
However, Lin Xuan was not satisfied. He waved his hands and shouted, "Combine!"
Suddenly, an unbelievable scene unfolded as the two light blades merged into one. They were different colors—one blue and the other red—representing opposite elements.
It is said that water and fire do not mix, but when opposite attributes of spiritual energy fused together, their combined power was even more formidable.
