“ zhì yú qí tā nà xiē tiān zī píng píng de dì zǐ ma ……”
“至于其他那些天资平平的弟子嘛……”
"Regarding the other disciples with mediocre天赋..."
liǔ rú chén yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī bù rěn ， bù guò zuì zhōng hái shì chén shēng shuō dào ：“ nà jiù ràng bǎ tā men gōng fǎ fèi chú ， zhuǎn xiū cāng shēng líng yuán gōng ba ！”
柳如尘眼中闪过一丝不忍，不过最终还是沉声说道：“那就让把他们功法废除，转修苍生灵元功吧！”
Liu Luchen flashed a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but ultimately said sternly, "Then let's废 their current功法 and have them转修the Azure Life Spirit Technique!"
lǐ fán wén yán ， mǎn yì de gǔ le gǔ zhǎng 。
李凡闻言，满意的鼓了鼓掌。
Hearing this, Li Fan clapped his hands contentedly.
“ liǔ zōng zhǔ jué wù guǒ rán hěn gāo 。 rú cǐ yě shěng de wǒ nán bàn le 。”
“柳宗主觉悟果然很高。如此也省的我难办了。”
"Liu Sect Master, your enlightenment is indeed profound. This way, I won't be put in a difficult situation."
liǔ rú chén zé shì gān gà dì kǔ xiào 。
柳如尘则是尴尬地苦笑。
Liu Luchen then gave an awkward smile.
shàng jiāo le dǐng nèi quán bù xiū shì de míng dān ， lǐ fán zài kàn guò zhī hòu ， jué dìng hái shì xiān jiāng hé dào zhǎng lǎo zuì xiān huàn xǐng 。
上交了鼎内全部修士的名单，李凡在看过之后，决定还是先将合道长老最先唤醒。
After submitting the list of all cultivators within the Cauldron, Li Fan decided to first awaken the Six Path Elders. After all, their role as Path Melders was rather limited, especially considering they were ancient techniques practitioners.
bì jìng hé dào zhī xià ， yóu qí hái shì gǔ fǎ xiū shì ， zuò yòng zhēn bú shì hěn dà 。
毕竟合道之下，尤其还是古法修士，作用真不是很大。
Inside the Medicine King Cauldron, six Path Menders and twenty-three Transcendence Realms were in a deep sleep.
yào wáng dǐng nèi ， gòng chén shuì zháo hé dào liù míng ， huà shén èr shí sān 。
药王鼎内，共沉睡着合道六名，化神二十三。
Li Fan was already quite familiar with Liu San, Fang Zaiji, and Jiang Yushan. Naturally, he would choose to wake them first in this world.
qí zhōng liǔ sān 、 fāng zài jì 、 jiāng yù shān sān rén ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng shì shí fēn shú xī le 。
其中柳三、方再济、姜玉珊三人，李凡已经是十分熟悉了。
"Perhaps we can resist the无形杀意 by utilizing the power of medicinal pills," Liu Luchen suddenly said before unlocking the Great Spring and Autumn Array Technique.
cǐ shì zì rán shì xiān xuǎn zé jiāng tā men jiào xǐng 。
此世自然是先选择将他们叫醒。
"But I haven't personally experienced it, so I'm not entirely sure." Liu Luchen spoke with great caution.
“ dǐ kàng nà wú xíng shā yì ， huò xǔ kě yǐ jiè zhù dān yào de lì liàng 。” jiě kāi dà mèng chūn qiū zhèn fǎ zhī qián ， liǔ rú chén hū de rú cǐ shuō dào 。
“抵抗那无形杀意，或许可以借助丹药的力量。”解开大梦春秋阵法之前，柳如尘忽的如此说道。
"It doesn't matter. If it's useful, that's best."
“ bù guò wǒ bì jìng méi yǒu qīn shēn tǐ yàn guò ， yě méi yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò 。” liǔ rú chén shuō huà shí fēn jǐn shèn 。
“不过我毕竟没有亲身体验过，也没有十足的把握。”柳如尘说话十分谨慎。
Liu Luchen took several cold blue-colored medicinal pills from the Medicine King Cauldron and fed them to Liu San first.
“ wú fáng ， yǒu yòng zuì hǎo 。”
“无妨，有用最好。”
After a moment, Liu San slowly opened his eyes.
liǔ rú chén cóng yào wáng dǐng zhōng qǔ lái shù méi sàn fà zhe bīng lěng lán guāng de dān yào ， xiān wèi gěi liǔ sān fú xià 。
柳如尘从药王鼎中取来数枚散发着冰冷蓝光的丹药，先喂给柳三服下。
The first thing he saw was the unfamiliar Li Fan.
piàn kè zhī hòu ， liǔ sān huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi shuāng mù 。
片刻之后，柳三缓缓睁开双目。
"Who are you?" Liu San's alertness was still high as he moved away.
dì yī jiù kàn dào le mò shēng de lǐ fán 。
第一就看到了陌生的李凡。
But upon seeing Liu Lucheng, all his caution vanished.
“ shuí ？” liǔ sān de jǐng jué xìng hái shì hěn gāo de ， shēn xíng shǎn shuò yuǎn lí 。
“谁？”柳三的警觉性还是很高的，身形闪烁远离。
"Master..."
bù guò dāng kàn dào le liǔ rú chén zhī hòu ， xīn zhōng de jiè bèi wán quán xiāo shī 。
不过当看到了柳如尘之后，心中的戒备完全消失。
"Are we already in the Realm of Freedom and Ease?" A hint of joy appeared on Liu San's face as he subconsciously asked.
“ zhǔ rén ……”
“主人……”
Liu Lucheng sighed and shook his head, giving a simple explanation of the situation.
“ zhè shì yǐ jīng dào xiāo yáo jiè le ？” liǔ sān liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī sī xǐ sè ， xià yì shí de wèn dào 。
“这是已经到逍遥界了？”柳三脸上浮现出一丝喜色，下意识的问道。
Naturally, Liu San was also shocked. But with Liu Lucheng as his mainstay, he quickly calmed down.
liǔ rú chén tàn qì ， yáo le yáo tóu ， jiāng shì qíng de lái lóng qù mài jiǎn dān jiǎng shù le yī biàn 。
柳如尘叹气，摇了摇头，将事情的来龙去脉简单讲述了一遍。
Next, they woke up Jiang Yushan.
liǔ sān zì rán yě shì nán miǎn xīn shēng zhèn hàn ， bù guò yǒu liǔ rú chén zhè ge zhǔ xīn gǔ ， tā hái shì hěn kuài jiù xīn dìng le xià lái 。
柳三自然也是难免心生震撼，不过有柳如尘这个主心骨，他还是很快就心定了下来。
Jiang Yushan's reaction was much more composed compared to Liu San.
jiē xià lái yòu bǎ jiāng yù shān huàn xǐng 。
接下来又把姜玉珊唤醒。
She quickly adapted to the new circumstances a thousand years later.
jiāng yù shān de biǎo xiàn xiāng jiào zhī xià zé lěng jìng le xǔ duō 。
姜玉珊的表现相较之下则冷静了许多。
"Leave it to Sect Master Liu," she said in her metallic voice.
hěn kuài jiù shì yìng le qiān nián hòu xīn de qíng shì 。
很快就适应了千年后新的情势。
"Both of you should practice the Longevity and Benevolence Scripture." Liu Lucheng instructed, looking at the two cultivators before him.
“ liǔ zōng zhǔ nǐ ná zhǔ yì biàn hǎo 。” jiāng yù shān yòng tā nà rú jīn shǔ mó cā bān de sǎng yīn dàn dàn shuō dào 。
“柳宗主你拿主意便好。”姜玉珊用她那如金属摩擦般的嗓音淡淡说道。
Liu San and Jiang Yushan immediately followed his instructions.
“ nǐ men èr rén ， qiě yùn xíng jì shì cháng shēng jīng 。” kàn zhuó yǎn qián de liǎng wèi xiū shì ， liǔ rú chén fēn fù dào 。
“你们二人，且运行济世长生经。”看着眼前的两位修士，柳如尘吩咐道。
After a moment, both of them furrowed their brows.
liǔ sān 、 jiāng yù shān dāng jí zhào bàn 。
柳三、姜玉珊当即照办。
"How do you feel?"
piàn kè zhī hòu ， èr rén bù yuē ér tóng de zhòu qǐ le méi tóu 。
片刻之后，二人不约而同的皱起了眉头。
"There is indeed an intermittent sense of murderous intent. But we can still control it. Perhaps it's the effect of the【Unconscious Pill】," Liu San replied after some contemplation.
“ gǎn jué rú hé ？”
“感觉如何？”
Jiang Yushan said, "I wasted the Unconscious Pill. Compared to my encounter in the Indeterminate Prison, it was utterly insignificant."
“ dí què yǒu fán zào de shā yì bù shí yǒng xiàn 。 dàn hái néng kè zhì 。 huò xǔ shì nà 【 wú shí dān 】 de gōng xiào 。” liǔ sān tǐ wù piàn kè zhī hòu ， huí dá dào 。
“的确有烦躁的杀意不时涌现。但还能克制。或许是那【无识丹】的功效。”柳三体悟片刻之后，回答道。
Liu Lucheng then turned to Li Fan: "It seems there is indeed a use for suppressing murderous intent. However, the materials needed for the Unconscious Pill are quite precious. The Medicine King Cauldron's stock might only be enough for a few batches..."
jiāng yù shān zé shì shuō dào ：“ wú shí dān gěi wǒ làng fèi le ， gēn zài wú dìng yù zhōng zāo yù xiāng bǐ ， gēn běn bù zhí yī tí 。”
姜玉珊则是说道：“无识丹给我浪费了，跟在无定狱中遭遇相比，根本不值一提。”
Li Fan waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry about the raw materials. Our Interdimensional Alliance has ample resources in this regard."
liǔ rú chén zhè shí fāng cái kàn xiàng lǐ fán ：“ kàn lái dí què yǒu yā zhì shā yì de yòng tú 。 bù guò liàn zhì wú shí dān suǒ xū cái liào bǐ jiào zhēn guì ， yào wáng dǐng zhōng kù cún kǒng pà yě zhǐ gòu liàn zhì chū jǐ lú ……”
柳如尘这时方才看向李凡：“看来的确有压制杀意的用途。不过炼制无识丹所需材料比较珍贵，药王鼎中库存恐怕也只够炼制出几炉……”
"Let's continue and see how many we can maintain."
lǐ fán bǎi le bǎi shǒu ：“ yuán cái liào de wèn tí bù yòng dān xīn ， zhè fāng miàn 、 wǒ men wàn jiè lián hé huì hái shì bǐ jiào fù yù de 。”
李凡摆了摆手：“原材料的问题不用担心，这方面、我们万界联合会还是比较富裕的。”
Liu Lucheng nodded.
“ jì xù ba ， kàn néng zuì duō wéi chí jǐ wèi 。”
“继续吧，看能最多维持几位。”
Next, they awakened two more Path Menders—Zhen Qiannan and Ou Kui.
liǔ rú chén diǎn diǎn tóu 。
柳如尘点点头。
By now, suppressing their murderous intent was becoming increasingly difficult.
jiē xià lái ， yòu jiē lián huàn xǐng le céng qiān rán 、 ōu kuí liǎng wèi hé dào xiū shì 。
接下来，又接连唤醒了曾千然、欧魁两位合道修士。
"It seems the limit is here. Let's leave it at that for now. As for Fan Zhaohuo..."
zhè shí hòu ， tā men zhèn yā xīn zhōng de shā yì yǐ jīng shí fēn miǎn qiǎng le 。
这时候，他们镇压心中的杀意已经十分勉强了。
"There's still one Elder Fang. His situation is special; he hasn't practiced the Longevity and Benevolence Scripture, so waking him won't be a problem," Jiang Yushan interjected before Li Fan could finish.
“ kàn lái jí xiàn jiù zài yú cǐ 。 jiù xiān zhè yàng ba ， zhì yú shèng xià de fàn zhuó ……”
“看来极限就在于此。就先这样吧，至于剩下的范灼……”
Liu San glanced at Jiang Yushan.
“ hái yǒu yī wèi fāng zhǎng lǎo ， tā qíng kuàng bǐ jiào tè shū 、 méi yǒu xiū xíng jì shì cháng shēng jīng ， huàn xǐng yě wú fáng 。” bù děng lǐ fán shuō wán ， jiāng yù shān biàn chū shēng tí xǐng dào 。
“还有一位方长老，他情况比较特殊、没有修行济世长生经，唤醒也无妨。”不等李凡说完，姜玉珊便出声提醒道。
Li Fan smiled and finally released Fang Zaiji from the Great Spring and Autumn Array Technique.
liǔ sān wēi wēi kàn le jiāng yù shān yī yǎn 。
柳三微微看了姜玉珊一眼。
With this, most of the Medicine King Sect's top combatants had gathered together.
lǐ fán zé shì xiào le xiào ， zuì hòu jiāng fāng zài jì cóng dà mèng chūn qiū zhèn zhōng fàng chū 。
李凡则是笑了笑，最后将方再济从大梦春秋阵中放出。
Including Liu Lucheng himself, there were six Path Menders. Even with ancient techniques, they still constituted a formidable force for the Interdimensional Alliance.
zhì cǐ ， yào wáng zōng de dǐng jiān zhàn lì ， jī běn suàn shì yǐ jīng jù qí le 。
至此，药王宗的顶尖战力，基本算是已经聚齐了。
Moreover, as experts in alchemy, their role might be even more significant than ordinary Path Menders.
suàn shàng liǔ rú chén běn rén ， liù míng hé dào xiū shì 。 jí biàn shì gǔ fǎ ， duì yú rú jīn de wàn jiè lián hé huì ér yán ， yě shì yī pī bù xiǎo de zhàn lì 。
算上柳如尘本人，六名合道修士。即便是古法，对于如今的万界联合会而言，也是一批不小的战力。
Under Liu Lucheng's leadership, the Medicine King Sect members briefly familiarized themselves with the basic situation of the Spirit Wood Realm. Except for Fang Zaiji, they were all preoccupied.
zài jiā shàng tā men dōu shì liàn dān zhuān jīng ， zuò yòng kě néng bǐ xún cháng hé dào hái yào gèng dà yī xiē 。
在加上他们都是炼丹专精，作用可能比寻常合道还要更大一些。
When Fang Zaiji heard that there were still Heaven Mechanism Realm cultivators in the Spirit Wood Realm, he became extremely excited and insisted on meeting the Artisan's Cottage Master.
liǔ rú chén de dài lǐng xià ， yào wáng zōng zhòng rén jiǎn dān shú xī le xià líng mù jiè de jī běn qíng kuàng 。
柳如尘的带领下，药王宗众人简单熟悉了下灵木界的基本情况。
Initially, Cao Gong, who was deeply engrossed in researching Heavenly Yang, wasn't very welcoming to this mysterious guest. But after a simple exchange of ideas, they quickly hit it off.
jù shì xīn shì chóng chóng ， chú le fāng zài jì 。
俱是心事重重，除了方再济。
Although Fang Zaiji's forging skills were far inferior to those of Cao Gong, his youthful travels across the Azure and Yellow lands had given him extensive knowledge that could be beneficial for studying Heavenly Yang's transformation into a path.
fāng zài jì tīng shuō líng mù jiè zhōng ， jū rán hái yǒu tiān jī jiè xiū shì de cún zài 。
方再济听说灵木界中，居然还有天机界修士的存在。
The two happily sealed their door, preventing any interruptions. Li Fan only followed them along.
ér liǔ rú chén de shēn qū hái shì duì fāng suǒ liàn zhì de kuǐ lěi zhī hòu ， dāng jí xīng fèn bù yǐ 。 zhí chǎo zhe yào jiàn qiǎo gōng jū shì yí miàn 。
而柳如尘的身躯还是对方所炼制的傀儡之后，当即兴奋不已。直吵着要见巧工居士一面。
After consulting with several Path Menders from the Medicine King Sect, they provided Li Fan with a list of thirty disciples.
duì yú zhè mò míng zhī kè ， zhèng zài qián xīn yán jiū tiān yáng de qiǎo gōng yuán běn hái yǒu xiē bù huān yíng 。
对于这莫名之客，正在潜心研究天阳的巧工原本还有些不欢迎。
"These disciples are all exceptional talents. It would be a pity to turn them into mere功法运转 machines. Let's keep them in their current state and wait until we find a way to suppress their murderous intent."
bù guò liǎng rén zài jiǎn dān jiāo liú le yī fān hòu ， lì mǎ xiāng chǔ de shí fēn yú kuài qǐ lái 。
不过两人在简单交流了一番后，立马相处的十分愉快起来。
"As for the other disciples..." Liu Lucheng said resolutely, "leave it to the High Messenger to handle."
suī rán liàn qì shuǐ píng fāng zài jì yuǎn bù rú qiǎo gōng ， dàn shì tā nián qīng shí céng jīng yóu lì xuán huáng gè dì ， jiàn shí bù fán 。
虽然炼器水平方再济远不如巧工，但是他年轻时曾经游历玄黄各地，见识不凡。
While they were cold and ruthless, at least they would still be alive.
gèng néng duì tiān yáng shēn huà dào de yán jiū yǒu suǒ bāng zhù 。
更能对天阳身化道的研究有所帮助。
Assembling their combined power to turn against the Interdimensional Alliance...
liǎng rén xìng gāo cǎi liè de bǎ dà mén fēng bì ， bù ràng wài rén dǎ rǎo 。
两人兴高采烈的把大门封闭，不让外人打扰。
After witnessing various scenes in the Spirit Wood Realm, they firmly kept this idea buried deep within their minds, daring not to reveal a single hint of it.
lǐ fán yě zhǐ suí tā men qù le 。
李凡也只随他们去了。
"In fact, I have another method. We don't necessarily need to make all these disciples into worthless功法运转 machines," Li Fan said suddenly as he looked at the Medicine King Sect members.
zài jīng guò yào wáng zōng jǐ wèi hé dào de shāng yì zhī hòu ， zuì zhōng gěi le lǐ fán yī fèn bāo hán sān shí rén de míng dān 。
在经过药王宗几位合道的商议之后，最终给了李凡一份包含三十人的名单。
"Isn't everyone currently in the Great Spring and Autumn Array Technique's dream state? If I modify the阵法 so that the scenes in their dreams match reality..."
“ zhè xiē dì zǐ ， dōu shì jué duì de kě zào zhī cái 。 ruò shì zhuǎn xiū cāng shēng líng yuán gōng ， bù miǎn yǒu xiē kě xī 。 kě xiān xíng ràng tā men bǎo chí chén shuì ， děng rì hòu zài zhǎo dào yā zhì shā yì de fāng fǎ zài shuō 。”
“这些弟子，都是绝对的可造之材。若是转修苍生灵元功，不免有些可惜。可先行让他们保持沉睡，等日后再找到压制杀意的方法再说。”
"They might not have to wake up. They could still complete the tasks required of them in reality."
“ zhì yú qí tā dì zǐ ……” liǔ rú chén yì rán jué rán dì shuō dào ，“ tīng yóu shàng shǐ chǔ lǐ 。”
“至于其他弟子……”柳如尘毅然决然地说道，“听由上使处理。”
Liu Lucheng, uncertain, asked, "What do you mean by...?"
suī rán lěng xuè wú qíng ， dàn bì jìng hái néng bǎo zhù xìng mìng 。
虽然冷血无情，但毕竟还能保住性命。
"Dreamwalking?"
zhì yú jí hé tā men jǐ wèi hé dào zhī lì ， fǎn gē yī jī ……
至于集合他们几位合道之力，反戈一击……
Li Fan nodded.
zài jiàn shí le líng mù jiè de zhū duō chǎng jǐng zhī hòu ， tā men guǒ duàn jiāng zhè ge xiǎng fǎ shēn shēn yā zài nǎo hǎi shēn chù 、 bù gǎn xiǎn lù fēn háo 。
在见识了灵木界的诸多场景之后，他们果断将这个想法深深压在脑海深处、不敢显露分毫。
"Wait a moment."
“ qí shí ， wǒ hái yǒu lìng wài de bàn fǎ 。 wèi bì jiù yào dōu ràng zhè xiē dì zǐ quán dōu chéng wéi wú jià zhí de gōng fǎ yùn zhuàn jī qì 。” kàn zhe yào wáng zōng zhòng rén ， lǐ fán hū de kāi kǒu shuō dào 。
“其实，我还有另外的办法。未必就要都让这些弟子全都成为无价值的功法运转机器。”看着药王宗众人，李凡忽的开口说道。
The End of Time Disc spun within his mind as the modified Great Spring and Autumn Array Technique instantly appeared.
“ tā men bú shì zhèng zài dà mèng chūn qiū zhèn zhōng chén shuì me ？ rú guǒ wǒ duì zhèn fǎ jìn xíng gǎi liáng ， shǐ de mèng zhōng de qíng xíng ， gēn xiàn shí dá chéng yí zhì 。”
“他们不是正在大梦春秋阵中沉睡么？如果我对阵法进行改良，使得梦中的情形，跟现实达成一致。”
After teaching the array technique to Liu Lucheng, the latter's eyes widened in astonishment. It seemed this array had been derived from their conversation?
“ tā men wèi bì jiù yào xǐng lái ， yì kě yǐ zài xiàn shí zhōng wán chéng suǒ xū yào wán chéng de gōng zuò 。”
“他们未必就要醒来，亦可以在现实中完成所需要完成的工作。”
"It should work," Liu Lucheng said after a deep breath.
liǔ rú chén wén yán ， yǒu xiē bù què dìng de shuō dào ：“ shàng shǐ de yì si shì ……”
柳如尘闻言，有些不确定的说道：“上使的意思是……”
Soon, when the new Great Spring and Autumn Array Technique began operating, Li Fan and his group appeared within the dreams of the Medicine King Sect disciples.
“ mèng yóu ？”
“梦游？”
The original scenes in the dream state were gone, replaced by an exact replica of the Spirit Wood Realm.
lǐ fán diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
李凡点了点头。
Liu Lucheng did not inform the disciples that they were still dreaming. He only told them about their failed escape from the Azure and Yellow Realm and their subsequent journey to the Interdimensional Alliance.
“ shāo děng piàn kè 。”
“稍等片刻。”
Although the disciples were worried, at least they had managed to preserve their lives.
shí hǎi zhōng zhōng mò jiě lí dié yùn zhuàn ， gǎi liáng hòu de dà mèng chūn qiū zhèn shà shí fú xiàn 。
识海中终末解离碟运转，改良后的大梦春秋阵霎时浮现。
After a moment of chaos, things returned to normal.
jiāng zhèn fǎ chuán shòu gěi liǔ rú chén zhī hòu ， duì fāng de yǎn shén zhōng mǎn shì jīng è 。
将阵法传授给柳如尘之后，对方的眼神中满是惊愕。
Following Liu Lucheng's instructions, they settled down in the Spirit Wood Realm. Meanwhile, their physical bodies began performing synchronized actions in reality.
yīn wèi zhè zhèn fǎ ， hǎo xiàng jiù shì zài zhè me shuō huà jiān tuī yǎn chū lái de ？
因为这阵法，好像就是在这么说话间推衍出来的？
(End of Chapter)
"Regarding the other disciples with mediocre天赋..."
Liu Luchen flashed a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but ultimately said sternly, "Then let's废 their current功法 and have them转修the Azure Life Spirit Technique!"
Hearing this, Li Fan clapped his hands contentedly.

After a moment, Liu San slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was the unfamiliar Li Fan.

But upon seeing Liu Lucheng, all his caution vanished.

Naturally, Liu San was also shocked. But with Liu Lucheng as his mainstay, he quickly calmed down.

The original scenes in the dream state were gone, replaced by an exact replica of the Spirit Wood Realm.
Liu Lucheng did not inform the disciples that they were still dreaming. He only told them about their failed escape from the Azure and Yellow Realm and their subsequent journey to the Interdimensional Alliance.
Although the disciples were worried, at least they had managed to preserve their lives.
After a moment of chaos, things returned to normal.
Following Liu Lucheng's instructions, they settled down in the Spirit Wood Realm. Meanwhile, their physical bodies began performing synchronized actions in reality.
