tōng guò tiān dì shì jiǎo ， lǐ fán kàn dào ， yè fēi péng zhōu shēn bù shí yǒng xiàn chū xiē xǔ lán sè guāng diǎn 。
通过天地视角，李凡看到，叶飞鹏周身不时涌现出些许蓝色光点。
Through the celestial perspective, Li Fan saw that Ye Feipeng's surroundings occasionally emitted some blue light points.
“ kàn lái ， yè fēi péng yǐn qǐ cóng yún hǎi zhù yì de jì huà ， sì hū jìn xíng de hěn shùn lì 。”
“看来，叶飞鹏引起丛云海注意的计划，似乎进行的很顺利。”
"Looks like Ye Feipeng’s plan to attract attention from Cunyun Sea is going smoothly."
xiǎo jiā huo men de xiū liàn zhī lù zhú jiàn zǒu xiàng zhèng guǐ 。
小家伙们的修炼之路逐渐走向正轨。
The young ones' path of cultivation was gradually getting on track. On the other side, He Zhenghao wasn't idle either.
hé zhèng hào nà biān yě méi yǒu dān gē 。
何正浩那边也没有耽搁。
During this period, most of the feedback on Li Fan's cultivation came from He Zhenghao. Although his rate of progress wasn’t as swift as some prodigies, he and Li Fan were at similar levels in cultivation, so the feedback was more substantial.
zhè duàn shí jiān ， lǐ fán jiē shòu dào de fǎn kuì xiū wèi ， jué dà duō shù dōu shì lái zì yú hé zhèng hào 。
这段时间，李凡接受到的反馈修为，绝大多数都是来自于何正浩。
Not long ago, he had sent a message to Li Fan, saying that his friend once invited him to explore a cave, but he was busy meditating then and couldn't reply. After completing his meditation, he heard with shock that his friend's exploration team had been wiped out entirely. Moreover, the cave they were in wasn’t filled with golden core immortals, but a spirit puppet.
suī rán tā de xiū xíng sù dù bù rú nà xiē tiān jiāo bān xùn sù ， dàn bì jìng tā hé lǐ fán xiū wèi xiāng jìn ， fǎn kuì qī wàng gèng dà 。
虽然他的修行速度不如那些天骄般迅速，但毕竟他和李凡修为相近，反馈期望更大。
He Zhenghao, who managed to escape, still shivered at the memory of it.
qián bù jiǔ ， tā hái xīn yǒu yú jì de gěi lǐ fán fā lái yī tiáo xiāo xī 。
前不久，他还心有余季的给李凡发来一条消息。
"The path of cultivation is truly perilous. A slight mistake could lead to one's death and the end of their dao."
shuō shì tā de hǎo yǒu céng jīng yuē tā qù yí gè dòng fǔ tàn xiǎn ， nà shí hòu tā zhèng zài bì guān xiū liàn zhōng ， suǒ yǐ méi lái de jí huí fù 。
说是他的好友曾经约他去一个洞府探险，那时候他正在闭关修炼中，所以没来的及回复。
"My little brother Wei Qizheng has remarkable cultivation talent. We all thought he would achieve a golden core within a few years, but who knew he would be gone so easily," He Zhenghao said with lingering fear.
ér děng tā xiū liàn wán bì hòu ， què jīng wén ， hǎo yǒu suǒ zài de tàn xiǎn xiǎo duì quán jūn fù mò 。
而等他修炼完毕后，却惊闻，好友所在的探险小队全军覆没。
Li Fan casually comforted him for a moment, reminding him not to wander around aimlessly and even waived off his interest payment for next year, urging him to focus on cultivation. He Zhenghao readily agreed.
shèn zhì ， nà ge dòng fǔ lǐ mái zàng de gēn běn bú shì shén me jīn dān zhēn rén ， ér shì yī jù huà shén kuǐ lěi 。
甚至，那个洞府里埋葬的根本不是什么金丹真人，而是一具化神傀儡。
"As the number of people investing in the Mountain Sitting Technique increases, I receive more feedback on my cultivation every day."
táo guò yī jié de hé zhèng hào shì hòu huí xiǎng qǐ lái ， hái shì bù jīn bèi jīng chū yī shēn lěng hàn 。
逃过一劫的何正浩事后回想起来，还是不禁被惊出一身冷汗。
"In no time, it will be comparable to what I achieve by always meditating."
“ xiū xíng zhī lù ， dàng zhēn xiōng xiǎn wú bǐ 。 shāo yǒu chā chí ， jiù yào shēn sǐ dào xiāo 。”
“修行之路，当真凶险无比。稍有差池，就要身死道消。”
"Enjoying the benefits without effort, the good thing is that even if I split my attention for other tasks, my cultivation will still grow."
“ wǒ zhè wèi jiào zuò wèi qí zhèng de xiǎo xiōng dì ， xiū xíng tiān fù kě zhēn bù ruò a 。 dōu yǐ wéi tā shù nián nèi bì dìng jīn dān yǒu wàng ， kě shuí céng xiǎng zhè me róng yì jiù méi le 。” hé zhèng hào hòu pà dào 。
“我这位叫做卫奇正的小兄弟，修行天赋可真不弱啊。都以为他数年内必定金丹有望，可谁曾想这么容易就没了。”何正浩后怕道。
Everything was progressing smoothly, and Li Fan felt content. After leaving Ten Thousand Immortals Island, he went to a hidden underwater location as usual and began his second attempt at "Simulation."
lǐ fán suí yì ān fǔ le hé zhèng hào yī liǎng jù ， dīng zhǔ tā méi shì bié luàn pǎo 。
李凡随意安抚了何正浩一两句，叮嘱他没事别乱跑。
The surroundings changed abruptly, and Li Fan once again found himself in the Cave of Body Transformation.
shùn biàn yòu miǎn le tā míng nián de lì xī ， ràng tā hǎo shēng xiū liàn 。
顺便又免了他明年的利息，让他好生修炼。
"Dayang, it's time for your medicine..."
hé zhèng hào lián lián chēng shì 。
何正浩连连称是。
The familiar opening line.
“ suí zhe zuò shān jué tóu zī de rén shù zhú jiàn zēng jiā ， wǒ měi tiān shōu dào de fǎn kuì xiū wèi yě yuè lái yuè duō 。”
“随着坐山诀投资的人数逐渐增加，我每天收到的反馈修为也越来越多。”
Li Fan drank the medicine, using the brief warmth that surged through him to rally his spirits. He whispered urgently: "Master, this medicine isn't very effective."
“ xiāng xìn zài yòng bù liǎo duō shǎo nián ， jiù chà bu duō néng bǐ dé shàng wǒ shí kè bì guān suǒ xiū le 。”
“相信再用不了多少年，就差不多能比得上我时刻闭关所修了。”
"Change me a new prescription next time."
“ zuò xiǎng qí chéng ， hǎo chù jiù shì wǒ jiù suàn fēn chū jīng lì gàn xiē qí tā shì ， yě néng xiǎng shòu xiū wèi de bù duàn zēng zhǎng 。”
“坐享其成，好处就是我就算分出精力干些其他事，也能享受修为的不断增长。”
Without waiting for Dayang’s reaction, he recited the prescription in one breath. His body was so weak that even speaking was difficult.
yī qiè zhèng zài yǒu tiáo bù wěn de xiàng qián fā zhǎn ， lǐ fán xīn qíng shū chàng 。
一切正在有条不紊的向前发展，李凡心情舒畅。
As if drained of all energy, Li Fan fell into a deep sleep.
suí hòu chū le wàn xiān dǎo ， zhào lì xún le yī hǎi dǐ yǐn mì chù ， kāi shǐ le dì èr cì de 【 nǐ huà 】。
随后出了万仙岛，照例寻了一海底隐秘处，开始了第二次的【拟化】。
When Li Fan woke up to take his medicine again, warmth wasn't the only thing that surged through him; there was also an unbearable pain. It felt as though countless needles were pricking every part of his body. His face paled instantly, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
zhōu wéi jǐng sè hū biàn ， lǐ fán zài cì jiàng lín dào le shù qiān nián qián de shēn huà dào dòng fǔ zhōng 。
周围景色忽变，李凡再次降临到了数千年前的身化道洞府中。
"Dayang!"
“ tiān yáng ， gāi chī yào la ……”
“天阳，该吃药啦……”
"Young Master!"
shú xī de kāi chǎng bái 。
熟悉的开场白。
Concerned and urgent voices echoed. Li Fan gritted his teeth and replied in a low voice: "I’m fine, don’t worry."
lǐ fán jiāng yào tāng hē xià dù ， jiè zhù shēn tǐ zhōng duǎn zàn yǒng xiàn de nuǎn liú ， qiáng xíng dǎ qǐ jīng shén 。
李凡将药汤喝下肚，借助身体中短暂涌现的暖流，强行打起精神。
"The prescription is very effective; please don't change it," he said before fainting again.
lián máng xiǎo shēng shuō dào :“ shī fù ， zhè yào yòng chǔ bù dà 。”
连忙小声说道:“师父，这药用处不大。”
In his unconscious state, he vaguely felt his body trembling uncontrollably under extreme pain, as if it was about to die. But deep within the seemingly exhausted body, a pure and vigorous vitality began to emerge.
“ xià cì tì wǒ huàn yī fù yào 。”
“下次替我换一副药。”
"Sure enough, it works."
dāng xià yě bù guǎn zhí jiē lèng zhù de tiān yáng zi ， yì kǒu qì bǎ yào fāng shuō le chū lái 。
当下也不管直接愣住的天阳子，一口气把药方说了出来。
Li Fan’s heart relaxed, and he lost consciousness completely.
shēn tǐ xū ruò wú bǐ ， lián shuō huà dōu shí fēn jiān nán 。
身体虚弱无比，连说话都十分艰难。
Over the next few years, Li Fan used the "Peril" method from the Immortal Medical Scripture to gradually replenish his body's deficiencies. The time he spent in slumber decreased until he could occasionally walk around.
páng fó hào jìn le quán shēn yuán qì ， lǐ fán jiē xià lái hūn chén chén shuì qù 。
彷佛耗尽了全身元气，李凡接下来昏沉沉睡去。
When the members of Body Transformation Dao asked about the source of the prescription, Li Fan just said naively that he didn’t know where it came from. It seemed to appear automatically in his mind. Dayang and the other apprentices were amazed but not overly concerned, believing that their young master was fortunate and destined for survival.
ér dāng xià yī cì lǐ fán qīng xǐng hòu hē yào shí 。
而当下一次李凡清醒后喝药时。
After all, what strange wonders hadn't happened in the vast world of cultivation?
shēn tǐ zhōng yǒng xiàn de bù jǐn jǐn shì nuǎn yì 。
身体中涌现的不仅仅是暖意。
"Young Master, speaking of luck, you are indeed fortunate. The medicinal ingredients in your prescription are unheard of. We asked around the nearby markets, and no one had them for sale. Some even said that such herbs don’t exist in the cultivation realm."
hái jiā dài zhe nán yǐ rěn shòu de cì tòng 。
还夹带着难以忍受的刺痛。
"I don’t believe it. How could a full prescription have all other herbs but these few non-existent ones?"
quán shēn shàng xià dōu yǒu wú shù gēn xì zhēn zài bù duàn chuān cì yì bān ， lǐ fán shà shí jiān liǎn sè biàn dé cāng bái wú bǐ ， hún shēn hàn shuǐ zhí liú 。
全身上下都有无数根细针在不断穿刺一般，李凡霎时间脸色变得苍白无比，浑身汗水直流。
I argued with the other party.
“ tiān yáng ！”
“天阳！”
Fortunately, a disciple from Medicine King Sect passed by and heard our argument. Curious, he asked us for the specific ingredients of the prescription.
“ xiǎo shī dì ！”
“小师弟！”
Based on his knowledge of herbalism, he selected several common herbs as substitutes.
guān xīn ér jí qiè de shēng yīn jiē lián xiǎng qǐ 。
关心而急切的声音接连响起。
That’s how you were able to take this medicine!
lǐ fán yǎo zhe yá ， chén shēng huí yìng dào :“ méi shì ， wǒ hěn hǎo 。”
李凡咬着牙，沉声回应道:“没事，我很好。”
Dayang's body gradually improved, and the faces of the other apprentices brightened up too. The second senior Ling Xiao, who was known for his talkativeness, recounted his experiences with Li Fan. The first senior Si Xing and third senior Lian Chang listened attentively, smiling.
“ shī fù ， yào fāng hěn yǒu xiào ， qiān wàn bú yào huàn 。”
“师父，药方很有效，千万不要换。”
The warm and peaceful days passed quickly. Li Fan could now move around normally.
shuō bà ， lǐ fán biàn yūn jué le guò qù 。
说罢，李凡便晕厥了过去。
However, the other apprentices, citing external dangers, only allowed him to stay in the cave. Li Fan guessed this was a limitation of the simulation rules themselves.
hūn shuì zhōng ， tā dōu yǐn yǐn gǎn jué ， zì jǐ de shēn tǐ zài jí duān de tòng chǔ zhī xià ， bù tíng de chàn dǒu chōu chù 。
昏睡中，他都隐隐感觉，自己的身体在极端的痛楚之下，不停的颤抖抽搐。
This space, based on Dayang’s Eternal Remembrance, wasn’t as real as陨仙境. It wouldn't allow Li Fan to run around freely without restrictions.
páng fó suí shí dū huì sǐ qù 。
彷佛随时都会死去。
So he didn't push it further. He practiced Body Transformation Dao while occasionally chatting with his seniors and gathering intelligence. The seniors were very kind to Dayang and answered all questions related to the Body Transformation Dao. But whenever they talked about other matters in the cultivation realm, they would smile and change the subject.
dàn zài sì hū yǐ jīng yóu jǐn dēng kū de shēn tǐ shēn chù 。
但在似乎已经油尽灯枯的身体深处。
Though it was a bit disappointing not to gain deeper insights into ancient cultivation realms, Li Fan still left a deep impression on these three brothers from Body Transformation Dao.
yī gǔ chún cuì ér yòu wàng shèng de shēng jī ， kāi shǐ qiǎo rán yǒng xiàn 。
一股纯粹而又旺盛的生机，开始悄然涌现。
To practice Body Transformation Dao, one needed to choose an "avatar object." The first senior Si Xing had late-stage golden core cultivation. His avatar object was a thin, emerald-green sword like a cicada's wing, which allowed him to move swiftly and silently over long distances. He was the strongest in combat among the Body Transformation Dao disciples.
“ guǒ rán yǒu xiào 。”
“果然有效。”
The third senior Lian Chang had mid-stage golden core cultivation. His avatar object was a bronze bell, offering exceptional defensive capabilities and the ability to emit sound waves to repel enemies and intimidate their souls.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī sōng ， suí hòu chè dǐ shī qù le yì shí 。
李凡心中一松，随后彻底失去了意识。
The second senior Ling Xiao was more peculiar. Despite also being at mid-stage golden core cultivation, his avatar object was a pen. It lacked special offensive techniques but could record thoughts and perceptions in text and images, allowing him to create works with remarkable speed.
jiē xià lái de jǐ nián lǐ ， lǐ fán jiè zhù 《 tiān yī xiān jīng 》 zhōng de “ wēi ” zì fǎ 。
接下来的几年里，李凡借助《天医仙经》中的“危”字法。
Ling Xiao’s daily output of works was astonishing. As Li Fan woke up one day from the cat's chaotic meowing, he saw Ling Xiao controlling a male cat mingling with other cats. That realization made it clear that Body Transformation Dao was just a small sect in the mountains, but its fame would far exceed today’s major immortal sects due to these splendid writings.
Through the celestial perspective, Li Fan saw that Ye Feipeng's surroundings occasionally emitted some blue light points.
"Looks like Ye Feipeng’s plan to attract attention from Cunyun Sea is going smoothly."
The young ones' path of cultivation was gradually getting on track. On the other side, He Zhenghao wasn't idle either.
During this period, most of the feedback on Li Fan's cultivation came from He Zhenghao. Although his rate of progress wasn’t as swift as some prodigies, he and Li Fan were at similar levels in cultivation, so the feedback was more substantial.
