tiān yáng kuǐ lěi cǐ shí ， réng rán hái zhǐ shì àn zhào běn néng xíng shì 。
天阳傀儡此时，仍然还只是按照本能行事。
At this moment, Tianyang Puppet still only acted according to instinct.
jiào huì tā shǐ yòng 【 guī lí fǎn yuán zhèn 】 cuì liàn qiáng huà zì shēn ， kě zhe shí fèi le lǐ fán yī fān gōng fu 。
教会他使用【归离返元阵】淬炼强化自身，可着实费了李凡一番功夫。
Teaching him how to use the [Return and Return Array] to refine and strengthen himself truly cost Li Fan a lot of effort.
hǎo zài tiān yáng duì lǐ fán zhè wèi shī xiōng kě wèi shì yán tīng jì cóng 。
好在天阳对李凡这位师兄可谓是言听计从。
Fortunately, Tianyang treated his senior brother Li Fan as if he were listening to every word.
zài bèn zhuō de xué shēng ， bù duàn cháng shì zhī xià ， yě hái shì màn màn xué huì le 。
再笨拙的学生，不断尝试之下，也还是慢慢学会了。
Even the clumsiest student could eventually learn after repeated attempts.
kàn dào tiān yáng zhú jiàn shú liàn de dòng zuò ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī zhèn xīn wèi 。
看到天阳逐渐熟练的动作，李凡心中一阵欣慰。
Seeing Tianyang's actions becoming increasingly proficient, Li Fan felt a sense of relief.
“ ruò shì yǒu rén qián lái dǎ rǎo ， shī dì nǐ bú yào shā rén ， bǎ tā zhuā zhù 、 qiú jìn ， děng wǒ huí lái chǔ zhì jí kě 。”
“若是有人前来打扰，师弟你不要杀人，把他抓住、囚禁，等我回来处置即可。”
"If anyone disturbs us, Brother Junior don't kill him; just capture and imprison him until I return to deal with it."
“ rú guǒ yù dào dǎ bù guò de rén ， shī dì nǐ yě bú yào chěng qiáng 。 qiāo qiāo liū zǒu ， gēn wǒ huì hé hòu zài zuò shāng yì 。”
“如果遇到打不过的人，师弟你也不要逞强。悄悄熘走，跟我汇合后在做商议。”
"If you encounter someone too strong for you, Brother Junior shouldn't force yourself. Just slip away quietly and meet up with me afterward to discuss further."
zhǔ fù le tiān yáng jǐ jù ， suí hòu lǐ fán fēi chū ， jiāng dòng fǔ guān bì 。
嘱咐了天阳几句，随后李凡飞出，将洞府关闭。
After giving some instructions to Tianyang, Li Fan flew out and closed the cave府.
“ cóng yún hǎi míng miàn shàng de zuì gāo zhàn lì ， yě bù guò jiù shì nà jǐ wèi huà shén xiān jūn 。”
“丛云海明面上的最高战力，也不过就是那几位化神仙君。”
"The highest combat strength of the Cunyun Sea is just a few Transcendent Immortal Kings."
“ rú jīn wǒ yǒu tiān yáng xiǎo shī dì chēng yāo ， néng zuò de shì jiù gèng duō le 。”
“如今我有天阳小师弟撑腰，能做的事就更多了。”
"Now that I have my little brother Tianyang supporting me, there are more things I can do."
fǔ kàn zhe xià fāng de wú míng dǎo yǔ ， lǐ fán wēi wēi yī xiào ：“ cóng jīn wǎng hòu ， nǐ jiù jiào shēn huà dǎo ba 。”
俯瞰着下方的无名岛屿，李凡微微一笑：“从今往后，你就叫身化岛吧。”
Looking down at the unnamed island, Li Fan smiled slightly: "From now on, you'll be called Body-Transforming Island."
“ děng tiān yáng wán chéng zì shēn de xiū bǔ hòu ， hái kě yǐ ràng tā bāng máng liàn zhì jī guān kuǐ lěi 。”
“等天阳完成自身的修补后，还可以让他帮忙炼制机关傀儡。”
"After Tianyang finishes his own repairs, he can help refine mechanical puppets for us."
“ cái liào bù quē de qíng kuàng xià ， liàn zhì chū yī xiē yuán yīng zhàn lì de kuǐ lěi ， xiǎng lái yě bú shì shén me nán shì 。”
“材料不缺的情况下，炼制出一些元婴战力的傀儡，想来也不是什么难事。”
"Given that we have sufficient materials, it shouldn't be too difficult to produce some puppets with元婴 combat strength."
“ suī shuō jī guān kuǐ lěi bù néng gēn zhēn zhèng yuán yīng xiū shì xiāng bǐ bìng lùn ， dàn hǎo zài bù pà xiāo hào 、 kě yǐ yòng shù liàng duī sǐ rén 。”
“虽说机关傀儡不能跟真正元婴修士相比并论，但好在不怕消耗、可以用数量堆死人。”
"Although mechanical puppets cannot compare to true元婴 cultivators, they won't consume resources and can be used in large numbers to overwhelm opponents."
lǐ fán yuè xiǎng ， xīn zhōng yuè shì xīn xǐ 。
李凡越想，心中越是欣喜。
The more Li Fan thought about it, the happier he felt.
guò le huì ， tā xīn zhōng zhú jiàn píng fù ， jiāng chǔ wù jiè zhōng de tiān yáng yí gǔ qǔ chū 。
过了会，他心中逐渐平复，将储物戒中的天阳遗骨取出。
After a while, his mind gradually calmed as he took out Tianyang's remains from his storage ring.
yī rán dé dào le 【 hái zhēn 】 kě yǐ xī shōu de tí shì ， dàn shì nà zhǒng jī è gǎn què bù fù cún zài le 。
依然得到了【还真】可以吸收的提示，但是那种饥饿感却不复存在了。
He still received the notification that [Truly Real] could absorb them, but the sense of hunger was gone.
xiǎng le xiǎng ， lǐ fán zuì zhōng hái shì méi yǒu xuǎn zé jiāng qí xī shōu 。
想了想，李凡最终还是没有选择将其吸收。
After some consideration, Li Fan decided not to absorb them.
“ tiān yáng yí niàn zhōng néng huò dé de dōng xī ， wǒ yǐ jīng quán dōu ná dào shǒu le 。 zài cì xī shōu ， yì yì bù dà 。”
“天阳遗念中能获得的东西，我已经全都拿到手了。再次吸收，意义不大。”
"I've already obtained everything I can from Tianyang's memories. Absorbing again wouldn't be meaningful."
“ bù rú liú zhe ， shuō bù dìng rì hòu huì pài shàng yòng chǎng 。”
“不如留着，说不定日后会派上用场。”
"Maybe it would be better to keep them in case they come in handy later."
xuán huáng jiè xiū shì ， yí dìng shì yǒu lì yòng 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】 de fāng fǎ de 。
玄黄界修士，一定是有利用【永恒遗念】的方法的。
There must be a way for Immortal Realm cultivators to utilize [Eternal Remembrance], but even with his previous life reaching the level of [Derivative Thirty], he never found any information.
bù guò nǎ pà shàng yī shì tā dá dào le 【 yǎn sān shí 】 de quán xiàn děng jí ， yě bù céng sōu suǒ dào xiāng guān xìn xī 。
不过哪怕上一世他达到了【衍三十】的权限等级，也不曾搜索到相关信息。
Thinking about Eternal Remembrance, Li Fan couldn't help recalling the skull of the first immortal-demon mist-infected cultivator from his past life.
tí qǐ yǒng héng yí niàn ， lǐ fán bù jīn xiǎng dào le qián shì jiàn dào de 、 dì yī wèi gǎn rǎn xiān fán zhàng xiū shì de tóu gǔ 。
提起永恒遗念，李凡不禁想到了前世见到的、第一位感染仙凡瘴修士的头骨。
"Perhaps it's because of the attachment to Eternal Remembrance that it was placed in the center of the Museum of Divine Treasures."
“ shuō bù dìng ， zhèng shì yīn wèi fù zhuó zhe yǒng héng yí niàn de yuán gù ， tā cái huì bèi bǎi fàng zài bó wù shén cáng guǎn de zuì zhōng yāng 。”
“说不定，正是因为附着着永恒遗念的缘故，它才会被摆放在博物神藏馆的最中央。”
Li Fan gathered his thoughts and didn't return to Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Instead, he quietly arrived at Lustrous Isle.
sī xù shōu liǎn 。
思绪收敛。
Finding the giant lustrous fish, Li Fan concealed his aura and descended into the sea.
lǐ fán méi yǒu fǎn huí wàn xiān dǎo ， ér shì qiǎo rán lái dào le liú lí dǎo wài 。
李凡没有返回万仙岛，而是悄然来到了琉璃岛外。
He didn't act immediately but waited for something.
zhǎo dào le nà tóu jù xíng liú lí yú ， lǐ fán zhē yǎn zì shēn qì xī ， jiàng dào hǎi dǐ 。
找到了那头巨型琉璃鱼，李凡遮掩自身气息，降到海底。
As time passed, when it reached the point where he had previously used the formless killing mechanism to kill the giant lustrous fish in his past lives,
méi yǒu zhí jiē dòng shǒu ， ér shì děng dài zhe shén me 。
没有直接动手，而是等待着什么。
Li Fan replicated the action and retrieved the Lustrous Pearl.
yī fēn yī miǎo guò qù ， dāng shí jiān lái dào qián jǐ shì lǐ fán zhòng lín xiū xiān jiè 、 dòng yòng wú xiāng shā jī shā sǐ jù xíng liú lí yú de jié diǎn shí 。
一分一秒过去，当时间来到前几世李凡重临修仙界、动用无相杀机杀死巨型琉璃鱼的节点时。
With ample Enlightenment Pills, the lustrous pearl's role became redundant.
lǐ fán zhè cái rú fǎ páo zhì ， jiāng líng lóng liú lí zhū qǔ dào shǒu 。
李凡这才如法炮制，将玲珑琉璃珠取到手。
However, Li Fan wasn't just killing the giant lustrous fish for this item. He was ensuring that the island of Spirit Fog Grass would be attacked and a series of subsequent events would occur.
yǒu le chōng zú de wù dào dān hòu ， zhè liú lí zhū de zuò yòng jiù biàn dé kě yǒu kě wú le 。
有了充足的悟道丹后，这琉璃珠的作用就变得可有可无了。
Delaying his action until eight years later was to avoid any discrepancies in timing affecting these events.
bù guò lǐ fán yě bú shì wèi le cǐ wù cái jiāng jù xíng liú lí yú zhū shā 。
不过李凡也不是为了此物才将巨型琉璃鱼诛杀。
Everything in the world is constantly evolving, interconnected.
ér shì wèi le què bǎo líng wù cǎo dǎo yǔ shòu xí yǐ jí zhī hòu de yī xì liè lián suǒ shì jiàn de fā shēng 。
而是为了确保灵雾草岛屿受袭以及之后的一系列连锁事件的发生。
Entering the Immortal Realm a year early was like dropping a stone into a pond, influencing numerous affairs.
zhī suǒ yǐ máo dìng 8 nián de shí hòu bù dòng shǒu ， jiù shì wèi le bì miǎn shí jiān jié diǎn de piān chā dài lái de yǐng xiǎng 。
之所以锚定8年的时候不动手，就是为了避免时间节点的偏差带来的影响。
Li Fan couldn't guarantee that his past experiences wouldn't change in this life.
shì jiān wàn shì wàn wù ， dōu shí kè chǔ yú dòng tài de yǎn biàn zhōng ， bǐ cǐ xiāng hù guān lián 。
世间万事万物，都时刻处于动态的演变中，彼此相互关联。
He could only try to minimize such changes.
zì jǐ tí qián yī nián jìn rù xuán huáng jiè ， jiù rú tóng yī kē shí zǐ zhuì rù chí táng ， yǐng xiǎng zhū duō shì wù 。
自己提前一年进入玄黄界，就如同一颗石子坠入池塘，影响诸多事务。
"The炒作 of Spirit Fog Grass involves the Great Battle of Tianling State, the reward for Supreme Perfection Immortal Ji Cheng, and the appearance of the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array."
lǐ fán yě wú fǎ bǎo zhèng ， qián jǐ shì de jīng lì cǐ shì bú huì fā shēng biàn huà 。
李凡也无法保证，前几世的经历此世不会发生变化。
"Nothing can go wrong."
tā néng zuò de ， jiù shì jǐn kě néng jiǎn shǎo piān chā 。
他能做的，就是尽可能减少偏差。
"If necessary..."
“ chǎo zuò líng wù cǎo shì jiàn shì guān tiān líng zhōu dà zhàn 、 jí chéng xiān zūn de xuán shǎng 、 tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn de chū xiàn 。”
“炒作灵雾草事件事关天灵州大战、极成仙尊的悬赏、天玄锁灵阵的出现。”
The giant lustrous fish was soon reduced to bones, with a few drops of blood floating upward.
“ bù róng yǒu shī 。”
“不容有失。”
A fierce look flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
“ shí zài bù xíng ……”
“实在不行……”
After completing this task, Li Fan made another trip to retrieve two Blue Blood Coral branches.
jù xíng liú lí yú zhuǎn yǎn jiān jiù shī gǔ quán wú ， sī sī xiān xuè xiàng shàng piāo fú 。
巨型琉璃鱼转眼间就尸骨全无，丝丝鲜血向上漂浮。
Though the contribution points were insignificant for him now, he could use this mission to meet Immortal Realm cultivator Chen Ying from Medicine Hall.
lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xiōng guāng 。
李凡眼中闪过一丝凶光。
This person was heading to the Five Elements Great Caverns next.
zuò wán le cǐ shì ， lǐ fán yòu pǎo le yī tàng ， jiāng liǎng zhū lán xuè shān hú shōu rù náng zhōng 。
做完了此事，李凡又跑了一趟，将两株蓝血珊瑚收入囊中。
By monitoring him with the formless killing mechanism, Li Fan would be informed of the Great Battle of Tianling State and seize any opportunities.
suī rán nà diǎn gòng xiàn dù duì yú xiàn zài de lǐ fán lái shuō kě yǒu kě wú ， bù guò kě yǐ tōng guò zhè ge rèn wù jié shí yào táng yuán yīng xiū shì chén yīng 。
虽然那点贡献度对于现在的李凡来说可有可无，不过可以通过这个任务结识药堂元婴修士陈英。
Returning to the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, Li Fan chose to submit his task and asked if Chen Ying was refining [Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pill].
ér cǐ rén jiē xià lái huì qián wǎng wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān 。
而此人接下来会前往五行大洞天。
"Can you deduce which pill I'm going to refine based on just one main ingredient? Could it be that friend is skilled in this art?"
zhǐ yào yòng wú xiāng shā jī jiān shì tā ， dàng tiān líng zhōu dà zhàn bào fā de shí hòu ， lǐ fán jiù huì dì yī shí jiān zhī dào ， cóng ér zhēng qǔ hún shuǐ mō yú jī huì 。
只要用无相杀机监视他，当天灵州大战爆发的时候，李凡就会第一时间知道，从而争取浑水摸鱼机会。
Sure enough, Chen Ying's curiosity was piqued as he sent a message.
huí dào tiān xuán jìng zhōng ， lǐ fán xuǎn zé jiāng tí jiāo rèn wù 。
回到天玄镜中，李凡选择将提交任务。
"Haha, I don't know much about refining pills. I only understand some of the Derivative Calculations," Li Fan replied with a smile.
tóng shí xún wèn duì fāng ， shì fǒu shì zài liàn zhì 【 bīng yì jué qíng dān 】。
同时询问对方，是否是在炼制【冰意绝情丹】。
"I wish to explore the陨仙境 and feel that your pill might be helpful. That's why I asked."
“ jǐn píng yī wèi zhǔ yào ， jiù néng tuī cè chū wǒ yào liàn zhì de dān yào ？ nán bù chéng dào yǒu yě shì jīng yú cǐ dào ？”
“仅凭一味主药，就能推测出我要炼制的丹药？难不成道友也是精于此道？”
Chen Ying exclaimed: "Derivative calculations are truly mysterious..."
guǒ bù qí rán ， bèi gōu qǐ le hào qí xīn ， chén yīng fā lái xún wèn 。
果不其然，被勾起了好奇心，陈英发来询问。
"Wait, could you be the ancient Heaven Mechanism Sect cultivator who just awakened from his slumber?"
“ hē hē ， liàn dān dǎo shì bù dǒng 。 zhǐ bù guò shì huì xiē tuī yǎn cè suàn zhī shù bà le 。” lǐ fán xiào zhe huí fù dào 。
“呵呵，炼丹倒是不懂。只不过是会些推衍测算之术罢了。”李凡笑着回复道。
Looking at Li Fan's name, Chen Ying suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise.
“ wǒ yù tàn suǒ yǔn xiān jìng ， yǐn yǐn gǎn jué dào yǒu suǒ liàn dān yào kě néng yǒu suǒ bāng zhù 。 yú shì gù yǒu cǐ wèn 。”
“我欲探索陨仙境，隐隐感觉道友所炼丹药可能有所帮助。于是故有此问。”
"Haha, that is me. But it's just a title; there's no need for you to take it seriously!" Li Fan modestly replied.
chén yīng jīng tàn dào ：“ tuī yǎn zhī shù ， jìng rú cǐ xuán qí ……”
陈英惊叹道：“推衍之术，竟如此玄奇……”
Chen Ying became thoroughly interested.
“ děng děng ， nán dào nǐ jiù shì nà wèi zì chén shuì zhōng sū xǐng de shàng gǔ tiān jī zōng xiū shì ？”
“等等，难道你就是那位自沉睡中苏醒的上古天机宗修士？”
He insisted on meeting Li Fan in person.
cǐ shí ， kàn zhe lǐ fán de míng zì ， chén yīng xiǎng qǐ le shén me ， jīng wèn dào 。
此时，看着李凡的名字，陈英想起了什么，惊问道。
And offered to give some [Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pills] as a gift.
“ hē hē ， zhèng shì zài xià 。 bù guò tú yǒu xū míng bà le ， dào yǒu bù bì dàng zhēn ！” lǐ fán qiān xū dào 。
“呵呵，正是在下。不过徒有虚名罢了，道友不必当真！”李凡谦虚道。
Li Fan pretended to decline but agreed.
chén yīng què shì chè dǐ lái le xìng qù 。
陈英却是彻底来了兴趣。
They arranged to meet at Chen Ying's residence on Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
yí dìng yāo qiú qīn zì jiàn lǐ fán yí miàn 。
一定要求亲自见李凡一面。
It was well-known that cultivators could purchase cave府s for living on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, though the prices were steep.
bìng biǎo shì kě yǐ miǎn fèi sòng xiē 【 bīng yì jué qíng dān 】 gěi lǐ fán 。
并表示可以免费送些【冰意绝情丹】给李凡。
None of the Cunyun Sea cultivators Li Fan had known in his past lives were so extravagant.
lǐ fán jiǎ yì tuī tuō bù guò ， zhǐ hǎo dā yìng 。
李凡假意推脱不过，只好答应。
Even Zhang Ziliang didn't splurge on a residence to enjoy it properly.
èr rén yuē zài le wàn xiān dǎo shàng ， chén yīng de zhù chù jiàn miàn 。
二人约在了万仙岛上，陈英的住处见面。
"Looks like refining pills is more profitable than array techniques."
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， xiū shì shì kě yǐ zài wàn xiān dǎo shàng gòu mǎi dòng fǔ jū zhù de 。
众所周知，修士是可以在万仙岛上购买洞府居住的。
Thinking this as he approached Chen Ying's cave府, Li Fan sensed an opening and entered.
zhǐ bù guò jià gé bù fēi 。
只不过价格不菲。
A green door suddenly opened upon his arrival.
lǐ fán qián jǐ shì jié jiāo de cóng yún hǎi xiū shì ， méi yǒu yí gè shì rú cǐ shē chǐ de 。
李凡前几世结交的丛云海修士，没有一个是如此奢侈的。
The simple-looking residential area revealed a different world inside.
nǎ pà zhāng zhì liáng ， yě méi shě de mǎi shàng yī chù zhù zhái ， hǎo hǎo xiǎng shòu 。
哪怕张志良，也没舍得买上一处住宅，好好享受。
It felt like entering a valley, with various types of medicinal herbs and spirit plants growing in the fields.
“ kàn lái liàn dān shì bǐ zhèn fǎ yǒu qián tú xiē 。”
“看来炼丹是比阵法有钱途些。”
The spiritual energy concentration wasn't high, but Li Fan didn't see any dedicated caretakers.
lǐ fán zhè me xiǎng zhe ， lái dào chén yīng dòng fǔ qián 。
李凡这么想着，来到陈英洞府前。
However, these spirit plants and herbs were all thriving.
gǎn yìng dào lǐ fán de dào lái ， yī shàn lǜ sè mén fēi hōng rán dǎ kāi 。
感应到李凡的到来，一扇绿色门扉轰然打开。
Li Fan guessed that it might be due to the layers of different-colored restrictions covering the fields.
wài biǎo kàn shì jiǎn dān xiǎo qiǎo de zhù zhái ， zǒu rù zhī hòu què shì bié yǒu dòng tiān 。
外表看似简单小巧的住宅，走入之后却是别有洞天。
"Ah, Daoist Friend Li Fan, you've finally come!" Chen Ying's cheerful laughter rang out from afar.
fǎng fú zǒu rù le yī chù shān gǔ ， lián mián de líng tián zhōng shēng zhǎng zhe xǔ duō bù tóng zhǒng lèi de cǎo yào 、 líng zhí 。
仿佛走入了一处山谷，连绵的灵田中生长着许多不同种类的草药、灵植。
Looking up, Li Fan saw him emerge from a crop field taller than most people.
shān gǔ nèi de líng qì nóng dù bù suàn hěn gāo ， lǐ fán yě méi yǒu kàn dào yǒu zhuān rén fù zé zhào liào 。
山谷内的灵气浓度不算很高，李凡也没有看到有专人负责照料。
Ignoring his disheveled appearance, he flew directly toward Li Fan.
dàn zhè xiē líng zhí cǎo yào què quán dōu zhǎng shì xǐ rén 。
但这些灵植草药却全都长势喜人。
"The Eight Hidden Grass... but it doesn't seem to grow this tall in ordinary cases."
lǐ fán cāi cè ， kě néng gēn lǒng zhào líng tián shàng fāng de yī céng céng bù tóng yán sè de jìn zhì yǒu guān 。
李凡猜测，可能跟笼罩灵田上方的一层层不同颜色的禁制有关。
"I heard that Daoist Friend Chen is not only skilled at refining pills but also excels in cultivating spirit plants. Today's visit confirms the reputation."
“ āi yā ， lǐ fán dào yǒu ， nǐ kě suàn lái le ！” chén yīng shuǎng lǎng de xiào shēng yuǎn yuǎn chuán lái 。
“哎呀，李凡道友，你可算来了！”陈英爽朗的笑声远远传来。
Li Fan's thoughts were sparked.
lǐ fán wàng qù ， zhǐ jiàn tā cóng yī piàn bǐ tā rén hái gāo de zuò wù qún zhōng zuān le chū lái 。
李凡望去，只见他从一片比他人还高的作物群中钻了出来。
"Daoist Friend Chen, long time no see!" he greeted warmly as he clasped his hands.
yě gù bù dé shēn shàng yǒu xiē láng bèi ， jìng zhí cháo zhe lǐ fán fēi lái 。
也顾不得身上有些狼狈，径直朝着李凡飞来。
Suddenly, his expression changed as he stared intently at Chen Ying.
“ bā xuán cǎo …… bù guò xún cháng de hǎo xiàng méi zhè me gāo a ”
“八玄草……不过寻常的好像没这么高啊”
Chen Ying felt a bit perplexed and touched his face.
“ tīng shuō zhè chén yīng jīng yú liàn dān de tóng shí ， gèng shì shí fēn shàn cháng péi yù líng zhí 。 jīn rì yī jiàn ， guǒ rán míng bù xū chuán 。”
“听说这陈英精于炼丹的同时，更是十分擅长培育灵植。今日一见，果然名不虚传。”
"What is it, Daoist Friend Li Fan?"
lǐ fán xīn zhōng huó luò qǐ lái 。
李凡心中活络起来。
Seeing Li Fan's tense demeanor, he asked curiously.
“ chén yīng dào yǒu ， jiǔ yǎng jiǔ yǎng ！” tā gǒng zhuó shǒu ， qīn qiè de shuō dào 。
“陈英道友，久仰久仰！”他拱着手，亲切的说道。
"I observe your appearance; you will likely have blood-related misfortune soon!"
hū de ， tā miàn sè yī biàn ， sǐ sǐ dīng zhe chén yīng 。
忽的，他面色一变，死死盯着陈英。
Li Fan shook his head solemnly.
At this moment, Tianyang Puppet still only acted according to instinct.
Teaching him how to use the [Return and Return Array] to refine and strengthen himself truly cost Li Fan a lot of effort.
Fortunately, Tianyang treated his senior brother Li Fan as if he were listening to every word.
Even the clumsiest student could eventually learn after repeated attempts.
Seeing Tianyang's actions becoming increasingly proficient, Li Fan felt a sense of relief.
"If anyone disturbs us, Brother Junior don't kill him; just capture and imprison him until I return to deal with it."
"If you encounter someone too strong for you, Brother Junior shouldn't force yourself. Just slip away quietly and meet up with me afterward to discuss further."
...
After giving some instructions to Tianyang, Li Fan flew out and closed the cave府.
"The highest combat strength of the Cunyun Sea is just a few Transcendent Immortal Kings."
"Now that I have my little brother Tianyang supporting me, there are more things I can do."
Looking down at the unnamed island, Li Fan smiled slightly: "From now on, you'll be called Body-Transforming Island."
"After Tianyang finishes his own repairs, he can help refine mechanical puppets for us."
"Given that we have sufficient materials, it shouldn't be too difficult to produce some puppets with元婴 combat strength."
"Although mechanical puppets cannot compare to true元婴 cultivators, they won't consume resources and can be used in large numbers to overwhelm opponents."
The more Li Fan thought about it, the happier he felt.
After a while, his mind gradually calmed as he took out Tianyang's remains from his storage ring.
He still received the notification that [Truly Real] could absorb them, but the sense of hunger was gone.
After some consideration, Li Fan decided not to absorb them.
"I've already obtained everything I can from Tianyang's memories. Absorbing again wouldn't be meaningful."
"Maybe it would be better to keep them in case they come in handy later."
There must be a way for Immortal Realm cultivators to utilize [Eternal Remembrance], but even with his previous life reaching the level of [Derivative Thirty], he never found any information.

He could only try to minimize such changes.
"The炒作 of Spirit Fog Grass involves the Great Battle of Tianling State, the reward for Supreme Perfection Immortal Ji Cheng, and the appearance of the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array."
"Nothing can go wrong."
"If necessary..."
The giant lustrous fish was soon reduced to bones, with a few drops of blood floating upward.
A fierce look flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
After completing this task, Li Fan made another trip to retrieve two Blue Blood Coral branches.
Though the contribution points were insignificant for him now, he could use this mission to meet Immortal Realm cultivator Chen Ying from Medicine Hall.
This person was heading to the Five Elements Great Caverns next.
By monitoring him with the formless killing mechanism, Li Fan would be informed of the Great Battle of Tianling State and seize any opportunities.
Returning to the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, Li Fan chose to submit his task and asked if Chen Ying was refining [Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pill].
"Can you deduce which pill I'm going to refine based on just one main ingredient? Could it be that friend is skilled in this art?"
Sure enough, Chen Ying's curiosity was piqued as he sent a message.
"Haha, I don't know much about refining pills. I only understand some of the Derivative Calculations," Li Fan replied with a smile.
"I wish to explore the陨仙境 and feel that your pill might be helpful. That's why I asked."
Chen Ying exclaimed: "Derivative calculations are truly mysterious..."
"Wait, could you be the ancient Heaven Mechanism Sect cultivator who just awakened from his slumber?"
Looking at Li Fan's name, Chen Ying suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise.
"Haha, that is me. But it's just a title; there's no need for you to take it seriously!" Li Fan modestly replied.
Chen Ying became thoroughly interested.
He insisted on meeting Li Fan in person.
And offered to give some [Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pills] as a gift.
Li Fan pretended to decline but agreed.
They arranged to meet at Chen Ying's residence on Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
It was well-known that cultivators could purchase cave府s for living on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, though the prices were steep.
None of the Cunyun Sea cultivators Li Fan had known in his past lives were so extravagant.
Even Zhang Ziliang didn't splurge on a residence to enjoy it properly.
"Looks like refining pills is more profitable than array techniques."
Thinking this as he approached Chen Ying's cave府, Li Fan sensed an opening and entered.
A green door suddenly opened upon his arrival.
The simple-looking residential area revealed a different world inside.
It felt like entering a valley, with various types of medicinal herbs and spirit plants growing in the fields.
The spiritual energy concentration wasn't high, but Li Fan didn't see any dedicated caretakers.
However, these spirit plants and herbs were all thriving.
Li Fan guessed that it might be due to the layers of different-colored restrictions covering the fields.
"Ah, Daoist Friend Li Fan, you've finally come!" Chen Ying's cheerful laughter rang out from afar.
Looking up, Li Fan saw him emerge from a crop field taller than most people.
Ignoring his disheveled appearance, he flew directly toward Li Fan.
"The Eight Hidden Grass... but it doesn't seem to grow this tall in ordinary cases."
"I heard that Daoist Friend Chen is not only skilled at refining pills but also excels in cultivating spirit plants. Today's visit confirms the reputation."
Li Fan's thoughts were sparked.
"Daoist Friend Chen, long time no see!" he greeted warmly as he clasped his hands.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he stared intently at Chen Ying.
Chen Ying felt a bit perplexed and touched his face.
"What is it, Daoist Friend Li Fan?"
Seeing Li Fan's tense demeanor, he asked curiously.
"I observe your appearance; you will likely have blood-related misfortune soon!"
Li Fan shook his head solemnly.
